  • Brought to you in part by the
  • 00:00:00.757 --> 00:00:02.459
  • International fellowship of christians and jews.
  • 00:00:02.459 --> 00:00:14.871
  • We are a fat country
  • 00:00:15.338 --> 00:00:17.040
  • And it's time for us to lose some weight.
  • 00:00:17.040 --> 00:00:20.543
  • I've had my fluctuations with weight
  • 00:00:20.543 --> 00:00:22.278
  • Over the last couple of years.
  • 00:00:22.278 --> 00:00:23.947
  • And we all need to be honest about that,
  • 00:00:23.947 --> 00:00:25.748
  • That when you get a little bit
  • 00:00:25.748 --> 00:00:26.649
  • Too pudgy, you get a little bit too fat.
  • 00:00:26.649 --> 00:00:28.384
  • You need to be honest.
  • 00:00:28.384 --> 00:00:29.686
  • You need to stop eating those carbohydrates.
  • 00:00:29.686 --> 00:00:33.723
  • And yes, you got to get in shape.
  • 00:00:33.723 --> 00:00:35.825
  • Breaking news today, president trump is signing
  • 00:00:35.825 --> 00:00:37.927
  • An executive order
  • 00:00:37.927 --> 00:00:39.129
  • To bring back the physical fitness test back to schools.
  • 00:00:39.129 --> 00:00:41.731
  • He'll be joined by kansas city kicker harrison butkus,
  • 00:00:41.731 --> 00:00:44.234
  • Former new york giants linebacker lawrence
  • 00:00:44.234 --> 00:00:46.236
  • Taylor and bryson dechambeau among others.
  • 00:00:46.236 --> 00:00:50.140
  • So dwight, the eisenhower, which, by the way,
  • 00:00:50.140 --> 00:00:52.175
  • He was one of the greatest presidents
  • 00:00:52.175 --> 00:00:53.576
  • In american history and probably the best
  • 00:00:53.576 --> 00:00:55.278
  • President of 20th century.
  • 00:00:55.278 --> 00:00:56.346
  • There's your thought crime of today,
  • 00:00:56.346 --> 00:00:57.747
  • And one that i think we're going to be proving
  • 00:00:57.747 --> 00:00:59.282
  • Over the next couple of years.
  • 00:00:59.282 --> 00:01:00.350
  • So stay tuned, because i like ike and you should too.
  • 00:01:00.350 --> 00:01:02.785
  • We learn a lot from him.
  • 00:01:02.785 --> 00:01:04.053
  • He established the 1956 presidential fitness test
  • 00:01:04.053 --> 00:01:08.725
  • To assess cardiovascular fitness, upper body and core
  • 00:01:08.725 --> 00:01:11.628
  • Strength, endurance, flexibility and agility,
  • 00:01:11.628 --> 00:01:13.696
  • According to harvard health.
  • 00:01:13.696 --> 00:01:15.064
  • The test included a one mile run, pull ups or push
  • 00:01:15.064 --> 00:01:17.700
  • Ups, sit ups, shuttle run, sit and reach.
  • 00:01:17.700 --> 00:01:19.736
  • Children in the top 15% receive
  • 00:01:19.736 --> 00:01:21.538
  • The presidential fitness award established by lbj.
  • 00:01:21.538 --> 00:01:24.641
  • Obama replaced the test in 2013 with the presidential youth
  • 00:01:24.641 --> 00:01:28.044
  • Fitness program, putting more emphasis
  • 00:01:28.044 --> 00:01:29.412
  • On students health than their performance.
  • 00:01:29.412 --> 00:01:31.748
  • We need to bring back the presidential fitness test
  • 00:01:31.748 --> 00:01:34.017
  • And we need to have a fitter country.
  • 00:01:34.017 --> 00:01:35.752
  • Some people say, well, what about the overweight kids?
  • 00:01:35.752 --> 00:01:38.488
  • Honestly, maybe a wake up call that they should stop eating
  • 00:01:38.488 --> 00:01:40.990
  • Cheetos and doritos all day long
  • 00:01:40.990 --> 00:01:42.492
  • And they should go for a walk
  • 00:01:42.492 --> 00:01:43.693
  • Instead of playing video games or staring at their screens.
  • 00:01:43.693 --> 00:01:46.429
  • Maybe it's a wake up call
  • 00:01:46.429 --> 00:01:47.330
  • For these kids that are taking ozempic.
  • 00:01:47.330 --> 00:01:48.965
  • Maybe go for a three mile walk
  • 00:01:48.965 --> 00:01:51.634
  • Instead of staring at screens all day long.
  • 00:01:51.634 --> 00:01:54.037
  • Now, of course, parents need to reinforce this,
  • 00:01:54.037 --> 00:01:56.439
  • But we need to culturally promote
  • 00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:57.840
  • The idea that fitness is good.
  • 00:01:57.840 --> 00:01:59.442
  • And president trump bringing this back.
  • 00:02:00.310 --> 00:02:02.078
  • By the way, president
  • 00:02:02.078 --> 00:02:03.112
  • Trump is in great shape for nearly 80 years old.
  • 00:02:03.112 --> 00:02:05.582
  • I mean, he's a fanatic considering 80 years old.
  • 00:02:05.582 --> 00:02:08.484
  • He does pretty well.
  • 00:02:08.484 --> 00:02:11.087
  • But going more broadly to the entire society,
  • 00:02:11.087 --> 00:02:13.923
  • Regardless of who
  • 00:02:14.357 --> 00:02:15.191
  • The president
  • 00:02:15.191 --> 00:02:16.092
  • Actually does, this being fit and thin
  • 00:02:16.092 --> 00:02:18.461
  • Is better than being fat and out of shape.
  • 00:02:18.461 --> 00:02:20.163
  • You are happier. you have less depression.
  • 00:02:20.163 --> 00:02:21.664
  • You left less anxiety.
  • 00:02:21.664 --> 00:02:24.133
  • And you look at how the nation we used to be,
  • 00:02:24.133 --> 00:02:25.902
  • We used to be a sculpted nation,
  • 00:02:25.902 --> 00:02:27.870
  • And now we are a fat and slovenly nation.
  • 00:02:27.870 --> 00:02:30.506
  • You'll live longer.
  • 00:02:30.506 --> 00:02:32.141
  • The big picture is this the test?
  • 00:02:32.141 --> 00:02:34.143
  • This is from axios,
  • 00:02:34.143 --> 00:02:35.245
  • Featuring challenges
  • 00:02:35.245 --> 00:02:36.346
  • Like the one mile run, pull ups and then the set up,
  • 00:02:36.346 --> 00:02:38.214
  • Which was once a rite of passage for america's youth.
  • 00:02:38.214 --> 00:02:41.451
  • It was
  • 00:02:41.651 --> 00:02:42.552
  • Also a source of anxiety and and shame
  • 00:02:42.552 --> 00:02:45.855
  • From more than a few kids who ended up
  • 00:02:45.855 --> 00:02:47.657
  • Feeling like they weren't strong enough
  • 00:02:47.657 --> 00:02:49.225
  • For the presidents or arnold schwarzenegger purposes.
  • 00:02:49.225 --> 00:02:53.196
  • Anxiety.
  • 00:02:53.463 --> 00:02:54.364
  • Welcome to life.
  • 00:02:54.364 --> 00:02:55.832
  • If you're a little fat
  • 00:02:55.832 --> 00:02:57.033
  • And you can't do push ups, then get yourself into shape.
  • 00:02:57.033 --> 00:03:00.036
  • Shame.
  • 00:03:00.236 --> 00:03:01.404
  • Okay, maybe your bmi is too high.
  • 00:03:01.404 --> 00:03:03.573
  • Maybe that's the wakeup call that you need.
  • 00:03:03.573 --> 00:03:05.508
  • Maybe you should be able to run a mile.
  • 00:03:05.508 --> 00:03:08.578
  • Oh, well, you know, i was born overweight.
  • 00:03:08.578 --> 00:03:10.747
  • Yeah, but you weren't born obese.
  • 00:03:10.747 --> 00:03:12.215
  • Everyone has a certain genetic code.
  • 00:03:12.215 --> 00:03:13.683
  • But being obese is a choice.
  • 00:03:13.683 --> 00:03:15.852
  • Shame is good if it points you towards being better.
  • 00:03:15.852 --> 00:03:18.321
  • Now, shame is not good if people are, like,
  • 00:03:18.321 --> 00:03:20.156
  • Using shame or peer pressure
  • 00:03:20.156 --> 00:03:21.491
  • To get you to underage drink or to watch porn.
  • 00:03:21.491 --> 00:03:23.693
  • That's bad shame.
  • 00:03:23.693 --> 00:03:24.727
  • But good shame is peer pressure towards the good.
  • 00:03:24.727 --> 00:03:27.330
  • And this is good peer pressure.
  • 00:03:27.330 --> 00:03:29.165
  • If all of a sudden
  • 00:03:29.165 --> 00:03:29.999
  • Everyone around you is super caught
  • 00:03:29.999 --> 00:03:30.833
  • And doing push ups and pull ups, body
  • 00:03:30.833 --> 00:03:33.903
  • Fat percentage is even better metric, by the way, than bmi.
  • 00:03:33.903 --> 00:03:36.873
  • And that's why you should feel shame
  • 00:03:36.873 --> 00:03:38.141
  • If you cheat on your spouse or steal
  • 00:03:38.141 --> 00:03:39.842
  • The same thing that happened at the coldplay concert.
  • 00:03:39.842 --> 00:03:42.645
  • Maybe instead of enabling kids
  • 00:03:43.246 --> 00:03:44.380
  • To be fat unhealthy, we should encourage ourselves
  • 00:03:44.380 --> 00:03:46.616
  • To overcome life's many obstacles.
  • 00:03:46.616 --> 00:03:48.484
  • Yes, life is tough.
  • 00:03:48.484 --> 00:03:50.119
  • Sometimes you're gonna have to publicly speak.
  • 00:03:50.119 --> 00:03:51.821
  • Should we get rid of public speaking?
  • 00:03:51.821 --> 00:03:53.089
  • Well, they have in many of our schools
  • 00:03:53.089 --> 00:03:54.490
  • A lot of anxiety about taking tests.
  • 00:03:54.490 --> 00:03:56.092
  • Should we get rid of tests?
  • 00:03:56.092 --> 00:03:56.926
  • Well, they have.
  • 00:03:56.926 --> 00:03:58.094
  • In many schools, the anxiety of a child means nothing.
  • 00:03:58.094 --> 00:04:00.730
  • If you are not feeling anxious when you're at school,
  • 00:04:00.730 --> 00:04:02.932
  • Then you're not ready for life.
  • 00:04:02.932 --> 00:04:04.300
  • You should feel anxious anxiety on a nearly daily
  • 00:04:04.300 --> 00:04:06.903
  • Or weekly basis when you're at school.
  • 00:04:06.903 --> 00:04:08.738
  • Good anxiety, not bad anxiety.
  • 00:04:08.738 --> 00:04:10.740
  • Not the anxiety
  • 00:04:10.740 --> 00:04:11.641
  • You think you'll be treated unfairly,
  • 00:04:11.641 --> 00:04:12.809
  • But the anxiety of i don't know
  • 00:04:12.809 --> 00:04:14.043
  • If i'll be able to pass this test.
  • 00:04:14.043 --> 00:04:15.345
  • I remember back at boy scout,
  • 00:04:15.345 --> 00:04:17.013
  • I used to go to boy scout camp every summer,
  • 00:04:17.013 --> 00:04:18.981
  • And there was this very serious swimming test,
  • 00:04:18.981 --> 00:04:21.084
  • And i, i failed it.
  • 00:04:21.084 --> 00:04:22.251
  • The first year i was young, i was
  • 00:04:22.251 --> 00:04:23.853
  • It was a sixth grade test. i was a fourth grader.
  • 00:04:23.853 --> 00:04:25.855
  • And the next year, all year i trained.
  • 00:04:25.855 --> 00:04:28.091
  • All year i trained in the pool to pass that test.
  • 00:04:28.091 --> 00:04:30.893
  • And it was just like dominated my mind.
  • 00:04:30.893 --> 00:04:32.762
  • It was i got to pass that test.
  • 00:04:32.762 --> 00:04:34.163
  • I got a pass, i got a pass, the boy scout swimming test.
  • 00:04:34.163 --> 00:04:37.834
  • And my parents were like, they would drive
  • 00:04:37.834 --> 00:04:39.435
  • Me to the pool. they would drive me.
  • 00:04:39.435 --> 00:04:41.204
  • And all year
  • 00:04:41.204 --> 00:04:42.438
  • I was obsessed about passing this boy scout swimming test.
  • 00:04:42.438 --> 00:04:45.975
  • It was hard. it was in the middle of a lake.
  • 00:04:45.975 --> 00:04:47.643
  • It was.
  • 00:04:47.643 --> 00:04:48.044
  • It was camp
  • 00:04:48.044 --> 00:04:49.145
  • Napa, one up near wisconsin, wild rose, wisconsin.
  • 00:04:49.145 --> 00:04:52.749
  • And finally the next summer came.
  • 00:04:52.749 --> 00:04:55.118
  • I was i didn't sleep the entire night,
  • 00:04:55.118 --> 00:04:56.753
  • And i passed that test,
  • 00:04:56.753 --> 00:04:58.054
  • And it was one of the most fulfilling things in my life.
  • 00:04:58.054 --> 00:05:01.657
  • I failed it one summer, and i did it the next summer.
  • 00:05:01.657 --> 00:05:05.061
  • And by the way, you know almost every man out there
  • 00:05:06.095 --> 00:05:08.531
  • You should be able to do 30, 40, 50 push ups.
  • 00:05:08.531 --> 00:05:11.801
  • Prior to a couple of years ago, i couldn't do any pull ups.
  • 00:05:11.801 --> 00:05:13.603
  • I could do about 7 or 8 legit pull ups.
  • 00:05:13.603 --> 00:05:15.605
  • Now my goal is
  • 00:05:15.605 --> 00:05:16.639
  • Get to 10 or 15, just be in shape, push yourself
  • 00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:19.475
  • Being slovenly and overweight is a choice.
  • 00:05:19.475 --> 00:05:23.012
  • Now you might be a little more pudgy.
  • 00:05:23.012 --> 00:05:24.514
  • You might put on a couple pounds.
  • 00:05:24.514 --> 00:05:25.681
  • I'm not saying that if you're
  • 00:05:25.681 --> 00:05:26.616
  • 1,015 pounds overweight, i get that.
  • 00:05:26.616 --> 00:05:28.451
  • But if you are so overweight
  • 00:05:28.451 --> 00:05:30.753
  • That you need a wheelchair by age 30, i'm sorry.
  • 00:05:30.753 --> 00:05:32.989
  • We shouldn't put up with that.
  • 00:05:32.989 --> 00:05:34.123
  • We want a fit.
  • 00:05:34.123 --> 00:05:35.958
  • We want a lean.
  • 00:05:35.958 --> 00:05:37.660
  • We want a strong, a healthy a the term and country.
  • 00:05:37.660 --> 00:05:41.731
  • Not one that is sloppy, slovenly
  • 00:05:41.731 --> 00:05:48.538
  • Lives
  • 00:05:48.771 --> 00:05:49.439
  • Are shattered in the holy land.
  • 00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:52.241
  • In an instant, these families lost everything.
  • 00:05:52.241 --> 00:05:55.945
  • The international fellowship of christians
  • 00:05:56.846 --> 00:05:58.915
  • And jews is on the ground to provide
  • 00:05:58.915 --> 00:06:01.684
  • Food and shelter and emergency supplies.
  • 00:06:01.684 --> 00:06:05.555
  • In emergency, gift of $45 will help thousands
  • 00:06:05.555 --> 00:06:09.292
  • Of elderly and families with desperately needed food.
  • 00:06:09.292 --> 00:06:12.595
  • Call it or go online now.
  • 00:06:12.595 --> 00:06:14.664
  • Her whole body is bruised and wounded,
  • 00:06:14.664 --> 00:06:18.000
  • And it's very clear
  • 00:06:18.468 --> 00:06:19.669
  • That zelda is in no condition to find ways to get food.
  • 00:06:19.669 --> 00:06:23.973
  • Food is critical and so is shelter from attack.
  • 00:06:23.973 --> 00:06:27.143
  • The israeli government has asked the fellowship
  • 00:06:27.143 --> 00:06:29.745
  • To urgently place 1000 mobile bomb shelters.
  • 00:06:29.745 --> 00:06:33.316
  • You can place a mobile bomb shelter in israel.
  • 00:06:33.316 --> 00:06:36.619
  • Right now, all we need
  • 00:06:36.619 --> 00:06:38.054
  • Is for you to enable us to buy the shelters.
  • 00:06:38.054 --> 00:06:41.657
  • My friends, the destruction is unprecedented.
  • 00:06:41.657 --> 00:06:45.027
  • Please act now.
  • 00:06:45.394 --> 00:06:47.630
  • I'm terry hinshaw with 180 disaster relief
  • 00:06:48.531 --> 00:06:51.667
  • Since 2013 and the moore tornado.
  • 00:06:51.667 --> 00:06:54.971
  • We've been helping families in crisis.
  • 00:06:54.971 --> 00:06:57.473
  • People who go through floods, fires,
  • 00:06:57.473 --> 00:06:59.976
  • Hurricanes and all kinds of disasters
  • 00:06:59.976 --> 00:07:03.145
  • With plans to lift the fallen
  • 00:07:03.145 --> 00:07:05.715
  • In a world that's for the poor.
  • 00:07:05.715 --> 00:07:08.518
  • Since the day after hurricane helene,
  • 00:07:08.518 --> 00:07:10.453
  • We've had boots on the ground.
  • 00:07:10.453 --> 00:07:12.021
  • It is so important
  • 00:07:12.021 --> 00:07:12.955
  • Because there's
  • 00:07:12.955 --> 00:07:13.789
  • So many families waiting right now
  • 00:07:13.789 --> 00:07:15.625
  • That still don't even have power.
  • 00:07:15.625 --> 00:07:17.393
  • They've lost all their furniture
  • 00:07:17.393 --> 00:07:19.195
  • And they don't have the resources to rebuild
  • 00:07:19.195 --> 00:07:21.864
  • Families finding shelter where there once was only pain.
  • 00:07:21.864 --> 00:07:26.669
  • Our focus is to help people understand
  • 00:07:26.669 --> 00:07:29.305
  • How much god loves and cares for them.
  • 00:07:29.305 --> 00:07:31.908
  • That they would know that they're not alone.
  • 00:07:31.908 --> 00:07:34.377
  • Go to the website at the bottom of your screen to give now.
  • 00:07:34.377 --> 00:07:37.513
  • Every dollar makes a difference.
  • 00:07:37.513 --> 00:07:39.882
  • Bringing hope in jesus name.
  • 00:07:39.882 --> 00:07:42.718
  • Together we can turn devastation into restoration.
  • 00:07:42.718 --> 00:07:46.522
  • One family at a time.
  • 00:07:46.522 --> 00:07:48.006
  • One family at a time.
  • 00:07:48.006 --> 00:07:53.566
  • J.d. vance is just doing a phenomenal job.
  • 00:07:54.433 --> 00:07:56.735
  • I think j.d.
  • 00:07:56.735 --> 00:07:57.870
  • Vance will make a great 48th president united states.
  • 00:07:57.870 --> 00:08:00.005
  • What are your thoughts on j.d. vance?
  • 00:08:00.739 --> 00:08:02.174
  • I think we've been on quite a j.d.
  • 00:08:02.174 --> 00:08:03.442
  • Vance journey the last year, haven't we?
  • 00:08:03.442 --> 00:08:05.711
  • J.d. vance went from a
  • 00:08:05.711 --> 00:08:08.147
  • Freshman u.s.
  • 00:08:08.147 --> 00:08:09.281
  • Senator to now a primary part of the trump coalition
  • 00:08:09.281 --> 00:08:13.385
  • And a phenomenal vice president of united states.
  • 00:08:13.385 --> 00:08:16.455
  • Thanks.
  • 00:08:16.689 --> 00:08:17.356
  • I was just chatting with jd
  • 00:08:17.356 --> 00:08:18.157
  • The other day. he's in good spirits
  • 00:08:18.157 --> 00:08:19.758
  • And i think he's doing a terrific job.
  • 00:08:19.758 --> 00:08:22.328
  • J.d. vance had some very sharp commentary
  • 00:08:22.328 --> 00:08:24.496
  • About immigration and about europe.
  • 00:08:24.496 --> 00:08:28.133
  • Let's listen carefully to the vice president, united states
  • 00:08:28.133 --> 00:08:31.303
  • And maybe the 48th president, united states play cut, 393.
  • 00:08:31.303 --> 00:08:35.307
  • That is the cradle of western civilization.
  • 00:08:35.307 --> 00:08:37.576
  • The entire idea
  • 00:08:37.576 --> 00:08:39.178
  • Of christian civilization that led to the founding
  • 00:08:39.178 --> 00:08:41.981
  • Of the united states of america,
  • 00:08:41.981 --> 00:08:43.415
  • That was formed in europe.
  • 00:08:43.415 --> 00:08:44.850
  • Europe is at risk, i think, of creating of
  • 00:08:44.850 --> 00:08:48.053
  • Of of engaging in civilizational suicide.
  • 00:08:48.053 --> 00:08:50.856
  • They are unable to or unwilling
  • 00:08:50.856 --> 00:08:52.891
  • To many countries to control their borders.
  • 00:08:52.891 --> 00:08:54.827
  • You see them starting to push back against that.
  • 00:08:54.827 --> 00:08:56.862
  • And good. that's a good thing.
  • 00:08:56.862 --> 00:08:58.964
  • You see them starting to limit
  • 00:08:58.964 --> 00:09:00.332
  • The free speech of their own citizens,
  • 00:09:00.332 --> 00:09:02.468
  • Even as those citizens
  • 00:09:02.468 --> 00:09:03.669
  • Are protesting against things like the border invasion.
  • 00:09:03.669 --> 00:09:07.339
  • I want europe to thrive.
  • 00:09:07.339 --> 00:09:08.874
  • I want them to be an important ally.
  • 00:09:08.874 --> 00:09:11.577
  • This is important. we want europe
  • 00:09:11.577 --> 00:09:14.246
  • To survive and to thrive.
  • 00:09:14.813 --> 00:09:19.518
  • In the united kingdom,
  • 00:09:19.985 --> 00:09:21.553
  • The government spent last year more than 7 billion pounds
  • 00:09:21.553 --> 00:09:25.758
  • Flying afghan muslims into the country in secret.
  • 00:09:25.758 --> 00:09:29.561
  • A court made it illegal to report that it was happening.
  • 00:09:29.561 --> 00:09:33.165
  • Now the government is considering
  • 00:09:33.866 --> 00:09:35.234
  • A definition of islamophobia that would make it illegal
  • 00:09:35.234 --> 00:09:38.270
  • To talk about islamic grooming gangs.
  • 00:09:38.270 --> 00:09:41.640
  • The flag of islam
  • 00:09:42.074 --> 00:09:45.177
  • Is taking over the european continent,
  • 00:09:45.177 --> 00:09:48.013
  • And they're doing this by choice.
  • 00:09:48.013 --> 00:09:50.416
  • Mohammed is one of the top birth names all throughout
  • 00:09:50.416 --> 00:09:54.520
  • The continent of europe.
  • 00:09:54.520 --> 00:09:57.523
  • Who do you want to rule you?
  • 00:09:58.123 --> 00:10:00.459
  • Muslims do not believe in separation of mosque and state.
  • 00:10:00.459 --> 00:10:04.530
  • They do not believe in freedom of speech free expression.
  • 00:10:05.631 --> 00:10:08.300
  • Many of them don't even believe in private property
  • 00:10:08.300 --> 00:10:10.202
  • Rights the way that we do or free enterprise.
  • 00:10:10.202 --> 00:10:11.904
  • It's all subservient to the sharia.
  • 00:10:11.904 --> 00:10:14.473
  • Allah.
  • 00:10:14.473 --> 00:10:16.775
  • And migration
  • 00:10:17.142 --> 00:10:18.377
  • And immigration makes it possible.
  • 00:10:18.377 --> 00:10:21.113
  • You see, immigration.
  • 00:10:21.113 --> 00:10:22.347
  • And i've spent a lot of time in the kind of ruling class
  • 00:10:22.347 --> 00:10:24.483
  • Neighborhoods this summer trying to raise
  • 00:10:24.483 --> 00:10:25.918
  • Money for turning point in hanging out.
  • 00:10:25.918 --> 00:10:27.820
  • Immigration is where all of a sudden
  • 00:10:27.820 --> 00:10:29.254
  • The ruling class gets a little bit nervous.
  • 00:10:29.254 --> 00:10:32.958
  • Oh, well, you know, we can let them in
  • 00:10:33.792 --> 00:10:36.161
  • As long as they come in legally.
  • 00:10:36.161 --> 00:10:38.263
  • No, no, no, they must assimilate.
  • 00:10:38.263 --> 00:10:41.066
  • Legal is not enough because immigration
  • 00:10:41.934 --> 00:10:44.603
  • Without assimilation is an invasion.
  • 00:10:44.603 --> 00:10:48.140
  • President donald trump warned repeatedly about this
  • 00:10:48.140 --> 00:10:51.110
  • During his trip to europe, like 243 on immigration.
  • 00:10:51.110 --> 00:10:54.880
  • You better get your act together
  • 00:10:54.880 --> 00:10:57.015
  • Or you're not going to have europe anymore.
  • 00:10:57.015 --> 00:10:59.651
  • You got to get your act together.
  • 00:10:59.651 --> 00:11:01.553
  • And we,
  • 00:11:01.553 --> 00:11:02.020
  • You know, as
  • 00:11:02.020 --> 00:11:02.855
  • You know, last month we had nobody
  • 00:11:02.855 --> 00:11:04.523
  • Entering our country and nobody shut it down.
  • 00:11:04.523 --> 00:11:07.526
  • And we took out a lot of bad people
  • 00:11:07.526 --> 00:11:09.161
  • That got there with biden.
  • 00:11:09.161 --> 00:11:10.295
  • Biden was a total stiff and what he allowed to happen.
  • 00:11:10.295 --> 00:11:14.333
  • But you're allowing it to happen to your countries
  • 00:11:14.333 --> 00:11:17.169
  • And you got to stop the this horrible
  • 00:11:17.169 --> 00:11:20.105
  • Invasion that's happening to europe.
  • 00:11:20.105 --> 00:11:22.007
  • Many countries in europe, some people,
  • 00:11:22.007 --> 00:11:24.943
  • Some, leaders have not let it happen,
  • 00:11:24.943 --> 00:11:28.413
  • And they're not getting the proper credit.
  • 00:11:29.281 --> 00:11:31.450
  • They should.
  • 00:11:31.450 --> 00:11:32.618
  • I could name them to you right now, but i'm not going to
  • 00:11:32.618 --> 00:11:34.620
  • Embarrass the other ones.
  • 00:11:34.620 --> 00:11:36.722
  • But stop this.
  • 00:11:36.722 --> 00:11:38.857
  • Immigration is killing europe.
  • 00:11:38.857 --> 00:11:41.493
  • At this point, i think european elites finally realize
  • 00:11:41.493 --> 00:11:45.397
  • That muslim mass migration was a massive mistake.
  • 00:11:45.397 --> 00:11:49.368
  • But they're in so deep they'd rather just
  • 00:11:49.368 --> 00:11:52.337
  • Basically cover up than keep
  • 00:11:52.337 --> 00:11:55.240
  • On talking about it.
  • 00:11:55.240 --> 00:11:58.177
  • They just want to cover up how awful it is
  • 00:11:58.177 --> 00:11:59.745
  • Until they're basically dead
  • 00:11:59.745 --> 00:12:01.446
  • And they don't have to worry about it.
  • 00:12:01.446 --> 00:12:02.815
  • There's just no way to argue that muslims in the uk, france
  • 00:12:02.815 --> 00:12:07.286
  • Or germany has been anything other than a disaster.
  • 00:12:07.286 --> 00:12:10.222
  • And remember this muslims are compelled
  • 00:12:10.222 --> 00:12:12.958
  • To take over the government in the land that they are in.
  • 00:12:12.958 --> 00:12:15.894
  • That is why you have mamdani.
  • 00:12:16.528 --> 00:12:18.163
  • That is why you have omar fattah in minneapolis.
  • 00:12:18.163 --> 00:12:20.699
  • That's why you have the lock.
  • 00:12:20.699 --> 00:12:21.967
  • The locks in south portland,
  • 00:12:21.967 --> 00:12:25.571
  • And then
  • 00:12:25.838 --> 00:12:26.705
  • You can't even speak out against it.
  • 00:12:26.705 --> 00:12:28.874
  • You see so many of them running for office
  • 00:12:28.874 --> 00:12:30.909
  • Because government and the instruments of power
  • 00:12:30.909 --> 00:12:33.679
  • Is fundamental to islamic theology.
  • 00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:36.648
  • It is not fundamental to christian theology.
  • 00:12:36.648 --> 00:12:38.984
  • Our kingdom is not of this world.
  • 00:12:38.984 --> 00:12:41.119
  • We should get more involved in politics.
  • 00:12:41.119 --> 00:12:42.888
  • But that is my that is my
  • 00:12:42.888 --> 00:12:45.624
  • My push
  • 00:12:45.858 --> 00:12:47.459
  • For pastors and christians.
  • 00:12:47.459 --> 00:12:49.561
  • Islamists have no such concern theologically.
  • 00:12:49.561 --> 00:12:52.865
  • They know that they should take over the power structure
  • 00:12:52.865 --> 00:12:56.001
  • And to govern and eventually through sharia.
  • 00:12:56.001 --> 00:13:00.539
  • And what do the purple hair jihadis
  • 00:13:01.306 --> 00:13:04.009
  • In brooklyn and the actual jihadis have in common?
  • 00:13:04.009 --> 00:13:07.279
  • They hate the united states of america,
  • 00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:09.882
  • And they want to suffocate our civilization.
  • 00:13:09.882 --> 00:13:13.685
  • They want to starve the baseline
  • 00:13:13.685 --> 00:13:16.889
  • And the foundation.
  • 00:13:16.889 --> 00:13:18.590
  • They despise the west.
  • 00:13:18.590 --> 00:13:20.959
  • And we invited them here.
  • 00:13:20.959 --> 00:13:24.730
  • Over the years, i've been clear about this.
  • 00:13:25.631 --> 00:13:27.466
  • I'm not just pro birth.
  • 00:13:27.466 --> 00:13:28.533
  • I'm pro-life.
  • 00:13:28.533 --> 00:13:29.568
  • And being pro-life means standing with mothers
  • 00:13:29.568 --> 00:13:31.470
  • Not only before the baby is born, but long after.
  • 00:13:31.470 --> 00:13:34.306
  • That's exactly why i partner with preborn.
  • 00:13:34.306 --> 00:13:36.775
  • Preborn doesn't just save babies,
  • 00:13:36.775 --> 00:13:38.410
  • They make motherhood abundantly possible.
  • 00:13:38.410 --> 00:13:40.312
  • They provide free ultrasounds and share
  • 00:13:40.312 --> 00:13:42.114
  • The truth, the gospel, with women in crisis.
  • 00:13:42.114 --> 00:13:44.683
  • And then they stay with real practical help,
  • 00:13:44.683 --> 00:13:47.319
  • Including financial support for up to two years after
  • 00:13:47.319 --> 00:13:49.855
  • The baby is born.
  • 00:13:49.855 --> 00:13:51.023
  • This is what true, christ centered compassion looks like,
  • 00:13:51.023 --> 00:13:54.059
  • Not just for the baby, but for the mother too.
  • 00:13:54.059 --> 00:13:56.295
  • And here's where you can make a difference.
  • 00:13:56.295 --> 00:13:58.230
  • Just $28 provides a free, life saving ultrasound.
  • 00:13:58.230 --> 00:14:01.466
  • One chance for a mother to see her baby
  • 00:14:01.466 --> 00:14:03.201
  • When when she does, she's twice as likely to choose life.
  • 00:14:03.201 --> 00:14:05.938
  • So don't just say you're pro-life.
  • 00:14:05.938 --> 00:14:07.539
  • Live it. help save babies and support mothers today.

  • 00:14:34.370 --> 00:14:36.472
  • Author of trump's economic miracle
  • 00:14:36.472 --> 00:14:37.974
  • And senior economic contributor.
  • 00:14:37.974 --> 00:14:39.909
  • And for freedomworks, let's go to stephen moore.
  • 00:14:39.909 --> 00:14:43.879
  • Stephen, great to see you.
  • 00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:44.847
  • Thank you so much for the time.
  • 00:14:44.847 --> 00:14:46.849
  • Oh my gosh, what a day.
  • 00:14:46.849 --> 00:14:48.150
  • I mean,
  • 00:14:48.150 --> 00:14:49.352
  • I cannot believe these numbers that came out today charlie.
  • 00:14:49.352 --> 00:14:52.121
  • It trump is just hitting it out of the park.
  • 00:14:52.121 --> 00:14:54.390
  • And do you remember
  • 00:14:54.390 --> 00:14:55.658
  • Five months ago when all the lefties said,
  • 00:14:55.658 --> 00:14:57.460
  • Oh, trump is going to cause a second great depression.
  • 00:14:57.460 --> 00:15:00.429
  • He's going to destroy the economy.
  • 00:15:00.429 --> 00:15:02.031
  • The stock market's going to crash.
  • 00:15:02.031 --> 00:15:03.766
  • We got the news
  • 00:15:03.766 --> 00:15:05.001
  • Today of 3% economic growth for the second quarter.
  • 00:15:05.001 --> 00:15:08.537
  • That's higher than any quarter, i believe,
  • 00:15:08.537 --> 00:15:11.340
  • In the four years that biden was president.
  • 00:15:11.340 --> 00:15:14.677
  • This economy is cooking right now. yeah.
  • 00:15:14.677 --> 00:15:17.079
  • So let's take a step back.
  • 00:15:17.079 --> 00:15:18.147
  • So the gdp comes in stronger than expected.
  • 00:15:18.147 --> 00:15:21.450
  • Again, the media is not covering any of this.
  • 00:15:21.450 --> 00:15:23.919
  • So let's go to cut 382 better than expected.
  • 00:15:23.919 --> 00:15:27.523
  • Let's go to cut 382 please.
  • 00:15:27.523 --> 00:15:29.492
  • Up 3% of 3% better than expected.
  • 00:15:30.259 --> 00:15:34.630
  • That would be
  • 00:15:34.630 --> 00:15:35.631
  • The highest level since the third quarter of 24,
  • 00:15:35.631 --> 00:15:38.334
  • When it was up 3.1% on the consumption
  • 00:15:38.334 --> 00:15:42.171
  • Side, up 1.4, very close to estimates, up 1.4.
  • 00:15:42.171 --> 00:15:46.742
  • Be the best since the last quarter of 24.
  • 00:15:46.742 --> 00:15:50.513
  • And steve, this is without the enactment
  • 00:15:50.513 --> 00:15:54.683
  • Of some of the additional trump
  • 00:15:54.683 --> 00:15:56.085
  • Tax cuts like full depreciation.
  • 00:15:56.085 --> 00:15:58.788
  • And so it conceivably could get even better.
  • 00:15:58.788 --> 00:16:01.724
  • But but steve, one of the things
  • 00:16:01.724 --> 00:16:03.192
  • That i think is important here
  • 00:16:03.192 --> 00:16:04.827
  • Is how wrong the expert class was on this.
  • 00:16:04.827 --> 00:16:08.798
  • Remember back in spring and spring
  • 00:16:08.798 --> 00:16:11.000
  • They said that we know we're barreling towards a recession.
  • 00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:14.403
  • Now jp morgan says odds of reception are increased,
  • 00:16:14.403 --> 00:16:17.406
  • Recession are increasing.
  • 00:16:17.406 --> 00:16:18.774
  • The credential class.
  • 00:16:18.774 --> 00:16:19.809
  • Your thought, steve moore?
  • 00:16:19.809 --> 00:16:21.610
  • I know that's exactly right.
  • 00:16:21.610 --> 00:16:22.845
  • I mean, you know, we have something in our hotline today.
  • 00:16:22.845 --> 00:16:26.215
  • And if people want to get that,
  • 00:16:26.215 --> 00:16:27.283
  • Just go to unleash prosperity.com and sign up.
  • 00:16:27.283 --> 00:16:30.019
  • It's free.
  • 00:16:30.019 --> 00:16:30.886
  • But we have this great, piece that,
  • 00:16:30.886 --> 00:16:33.489
  • Paul krugman, who won a nobel prize,
  • 00:16:33.489 --> 00:16:35.491
  • Probably the leading economic voice on the left,
  • 00:16:35.491 --> 00:16:37.760
  • Who's saying
  • 00:16:37.760 --> 00:16:38.794
  • That trump is going to crash the economy,
  • 00:16:38.794 --> 00:16:40.463
  • He's going to destroy the american economy.
  • 00:16:40.463 --> 00:16:42.198
  • And here we are.
  • 00:16:42.198 --> 00:16:43.265
  • I doubt he's going to issue an apology for that.
  • 00:16:43.265 --> 00:16:45.901
  • But, this and i, by the way, i was wrong
  • 00:16:45.901 --> 00:16:49.071
  • When i saw that economy in april, remember that
  • 00:16:49.071 --> 00:16:51.774
  • The stock market was bound down by 2500 points,
  • 00:16:51.774 --> 00:16:54.543
  • And it just looked kind of glum.
  • 00:16:54.543 --> 00:16:56.378
  • But trump has pulled off all of these trade deals
  • 00:16:56.378 --> 00:16:59.882
  • One after another.
  • 00:16:59.882 --> 00:17:01.117
  • And i, you know, i mean, charlie, i'm
  • 00:17:01.117 --> 00:17:02.351
  • Not a big tariff guy,
  • 00:17:02.351 --> 00:17:03.619
  • But he's been able to get all these countries to give america
  • 00:17:03.619 --> 00:17:07.156
  • Freer and fairer level playing field,
  • 00:17:07.156 --> 00:17:10.059
  • Which is huge for america's farmers, our manufacturers,
  • 00:17:10.059 --> 00:17:13.329
  • Our power producers, our dairy farmers, our tech companies.
  • 00:17:13.329 --> 00:17:17.233
  • It should.
  • 00:17:17.233 --> 00:17:18.167
  • And i can't keep up with the guy. frankly.
  • 00:17:18.167 --> 00:17:20.536
  • So i want to i want to actually zero in on that.
  • 00:17:20.536 --> 00:17:22.738
  • You're not a tariff guy,
  • 00:17:22.738 --> 00:17:23.973
  • But do you now think differently about how trump
  • 00:17:23.973 --> 00:17:26.342
  • Has used tariffs to get to a free trade aim,
  • 00:17:26.342 --> 00:17:29.211
  • How tariffs can actually be a tool?
  • 00:17:29.211 --> 00:17:32.114
  • Can you dive into that.
  • 00:17:32.114 --> 00:17:33.015
  • Spend some time steve,
  • 00:17:33.015 --> 00:17:34.250
  • Because you're not against tariffs in implementation.
  • 00:17:34.250 --> 00:17:37.353
  • But are you now open to tariffs as a tool
  • 00:17:37.353 --> 00:17:40.156
  • Towards a freer market.
  • 00:17:40.156 --> 00:17:43.159
  • So that's a great question.
  • 00:17:43.159 --> 00:17:44.760
  • And so let me
  • 00:17:44.760 --> 00:17:45.794
  • I think we all know if anyone who's an economist
  • 00:17:45.794 --> 00:17:48.330
  • Knows that trade is what economics is all about.
  • 00:17:48.330 --> 00:17:51.333
  • Charlie, if you and i trade voluntarily,
  • 00:17:51.333 --> 00:17:53.502
  • By definition, we're better off.
  • 00:17:53.502 --> 00:17:55.137
  • I give you something you want.
  • 00:17:55.137 --> 00:17:56.805
  • You give me something i want.
  • 00:17:56.805 --> 00:17:58.307
  • That's the essence of what?
  • 00:17:58.307 --> 00:18:00.242
  • Economics is all about.
  • 00:18:00.242 --> 00:18:02.678
  • And so, you know, milton friedman always taught us
  • 00:18:02.678 --> 00:18:04.847
  • That free trade is critical.
  • 00:18:04.847 --> 00:18:06.148
  • One of the most important things for an economy.
  • 00:18:06.148 --> 00:18:08.150
  • But what was happening is we were charging
  • 00:18:08.150 --> 00:18:11.020
  • Fairly low tariffs.
  • 00:18:11.020 --> 00:18:12.421
  • And all these other countries, as trump were
  • 00:18:12.421 --> 00:18:14.123
  • Saying, were ripping us off
  • 00:18:14.123 --> 00:18:15.324
  • Because they were charging these very high tariffs.
  • 00:18:15.324 --> 00:18:17.693
  • And so what trump was basically remember
  • 00:18:17.693 --> 00:18:19.528
  • He said, oh, we're going to charge
  • 00:18:19.528 --> 00:18:20.329
  • 50% tariffs on these companies.
  • 00:18:20.329 --> 00:18:22.498
  • The country's that was that was prototypical donald trump.
  • 00:18:22.498 --> 00:18:27.002
  • He always opens with a big number.
  • 00:18:27.002 --> 00:18:29.305
  • And that scared that excuse my language.
  • 00:18:29.305 --> 00:18:31.674
  • The crap out of the europeans the japanese the chinese
  • 00:18:31.674 --> 00:18:34.677
  • I mean they have to
  • 00:18:34.677 --> 00:18:36.011
  • They have to have access to america's markets
  • 00:18:36.011 --> 00:18:38.514
  • Because where they alpha male economy, where the
  • 00:18:38.514 --> 00:18:40.716
  • Where the $20 trillion consumer market
  • 00:18:40.716 --> 00:18:43.619
  • And he used these threats of tariffs
  • 00:18:43.619 --> 00:18:45.788
  • And a very strategic way to force these countries.
  • 00:18:45.788 --> 00:18:49.124
  • I mean, do you remember, charlie, three months ago
  • 00:18:49.124 --> 00:18:51.060
  • When the europeans said, oh, to hell with trump.
  • 00:18:51.060 --> 00:18:52.995
  • We're never going to make a deal with them. remember that?
  • 00:18:52.995 --> 00:18:55.564
  • Yeah, i do, i do, yeah, i do.
  • 00:18:55.564 --> 00:18:57.933
  • What happened to what happened? keep going.
  • 00:18:57.933 --> 00:19:01.203
  • They came
  • 00:19:01.503 --> 00:19:02.338
  • To the negotiating table and, you.
  • 00:19:02.338 --> 00:19:04.740
  • So it's a perfect example of,
  • 00:19:04.740 --> 00:19:06.842
  • Of how trump uses america's.
  • 00:19:06.842 --> 00:19:10.179
  • What he's doing, charlie, is he is, flexing
  • 00:19:10.179 --> 00:19:14.516
  • America's economic muscle and putting the country first.
  • 00:19:14.516 --> 00:19:17.953
  • And that
  • 00:19:17.953 --> 00:19:18.621
  • Has a lot of these europeans
  • 00:19:18.621 --> 00:19:19.888
  • And the chinese are very indignant
  • 00:19:19.888 --> 00:19:22.024
  • Because, you know what
  • 00:19:22.024 --> 00:19:23.259
  • It's like we took the kick me sign off of us.
  • 00:19:23.259 --> 00:19:25.928
  • No, that's exactly right.
  • 00:19:25.928 --> 00:19:27.363
  • And so and so steve, the the free trade
  • 00:19:27.363 --> 00:19:30.466
  • Dogma though they were so critical of trump.
  • 00:19:30.466 --> 00:19:33.235
  • Do you see amongst the intellectuals,
  • 00:19:33.235 --> 00:19:35.404
  • The intelligentsia
  • 00:19:35.404 --> 00:19:36.939
  • At least that admission that trump was right
  • 00:19:36.939 --> 00:19:40.309
  • And that his way of proceeding here was correct,
  • 00:19:40.309 --> 00:19:43.879
  • Is are we going to see any, any contrition?
  • 00:19:43.879 --> 00:19:47.383
  • Good question.
  • 00:19:47.716 --> 00:19:48.851
  • It's a little early to say, but i have i have to say
  • 00:19:48.851 --> 00:19:52.121
  • I've seen a couple of
  • 00:19:52.121 --> 00:19:53.756
  • I think it was the new york times, of all places.
  • 00:19:53.756 --> 00:19:56.625
  • But don't quote me on that was one of the more left
  • 00:19:56.625 --> 00:19:59.094
  • Leaning publications saying, hey, you know,
  • 00:19:59.094 --> 00:20:02.298
  • Trump's policies on trade seem to be working.
  • 00:20:02.298 --> 00:20:05.167
  • And i thought, wow, that's an admission.
  • 00:20:05.167 --> 00:20:07.136
  • But how could you conclude otherwise?
  • 00:20:07.136 --> 00:20:08.871
  • We have high growth.
  • 00:20:08.871 --> 00:20:09.772
  • We've got a record high stock market.
  • 00:20:09.772 --> 00:20:11.407
  • We've got 8 million surplus jobs.
  • 00:20:11.407 --> 00:20:13.442
  • We've got fairly low inflation.
  • 00:20:13.442 --> 00:20:15.311
  • It's a little higher than we'd like it to be, but fairly low.
  • 00:20:15.311 --> 00:20:17.913
  • You've got consumer confidence an all time high.
  • 00:20:17.913 --> 00:20:20.549
  • You got business confidence good.
  • 00:20:20.549 --> 00:20:22.384
  • I mean charlie point to me one thing that's going wrong.
  • 00:20:22.384 --> 00:20:25.421
  • Let's also put 422 up on screen.
  • 00:20:25.421 --> 00:20:27.956
  • That is the the debt will nearly double.
  • 00:20:27.956 --> 00:20:30.392
  • That's right.
  • 00:20:30.392 --> 00:20:31.327
  • The debt will nearly double in 30 years.
  • 00:20:31.327 --> 00:20:34.196
  • And so growth is the path forward. yes.
  • 00:20:34.196 --> 00:20:37.366
  • And yet getting getting congress
  • 00:20:37.366 --> 00:20:40.235
  • To be able to agree to cuts is basically impossible.
  • 00:20:40.235 --> 00:20:45.341
  • And i'm sure you can agree with that, steve.
  • 00:20:45.341 --> 00:20:47.710
  • They they seem so reluctant or recalcitrant to,
  • 00:20:47.710 --> 00:20:51.647
  • To engage with any spending cuts whatsoever.
  • 00:20:51.647 --> 00:20:55.451
  • And so, stephen, take steve, let's just kind of broaden
  • 00:20:55.451 --> 00:20:59.521
  • This one final time here in the time we have remaining.
  • 00:20:59.521 --> 00:21:02.057
  • Yeah.
  • 00:21:02.057 --> 00:21:02.891
  • That that we that the next 18 months
  • 00:21:02.891 --> 00:21:06.261
  • To two years to have proper growth is essential.
  • 00:21:06.261 --> 00:21:10.099
  • And if we don't,
  • 00:21:10.099 --> 00:21:11.100
  • We could have a european sovereign debt crisis.
  • 00:21:11.100 --> 00:21:15.070
  • So here's the thing.
  • 00:21:15.537 --> 00:21:17.005
  • Yep i'm going to send you a chart
  • 00:21:17.005 --> 00:21:18.307
  • That's a variation of that
  • 00:21:18.307 --> 00:21:19.875
  • That shows what happens if you have 3% growth.
  • 00:21:19.875 --> 00:21:22.911
  • And you know what.
  • 00:21:22.911 --> 00:21:23.846
  • That's that chart that show alarming.
  • 00:21:23.846 --> 00:21:26.382
  • It starts to bend down and it goes down.
  • 00:21:26.382 --> 00:21:28.650
  • By the way, if we got 3.5% growth
  • 00:21:28.650 --> 00:21:30.652
  • In 30 years, we start paying down the debt.
  • 00:21:30.652 --> 00:21:32.888
  • So that's why growth is important.
  • 00:21:32.888 --> 00:21:35.023
  • One other quick thing because i know time is tight.
  • 00:21:35.023 --> 00:21:37.793
  • It was ronald reagan
  • 00:21:37.793 --> 00:21:38.794
  • And i'm very proud of work for ronald reagan.
  • 00:21:38.794 --> 00:21:40.629
  • I believe he belongs on mount rushmore
  • 00:21:40.629 --> 00:21:42.231
  • For what he did for our country.
  • 00:21:42.231 --> 00:21:43.665
  • He used to say that the closest thing
  • 00:21:43.665 --> 00:21:45.968
  • To immortality on this earth is a federal government program.
  • 00:21:45.968 --> 00:21:49.605
  • And i believe that for 30 years.
  • 00:21:49.605 --> 00:21:51.740
  • But guess what?
  • 00:21:51.740 --> 00:21:52.608
  • Did you see what happened last week
  • 00:21:52.608 --> 00:21:53.942
  • With trump's rescission package?
  • 00:21:53.942 --> 00:21:55.944
  • He got rid of 20 programs.
  • 00:21:55.944 --> 00:21:58.347
  • What else was
  • 00:21:58.347 --> 00:21:59.481
  • Is in that rescission package that we should know of?
  • 00:21:59.481 --> 00:22:01.784
  • Oh, we got rid of, for the corrupt foreign aid.
  • 00:22:01.784 --> 00:22:04.353
  • You know, we've spent a half $1 trillion on foreign aid.
  • 00:22:04.353 --> 00:22:06.789
  • I don't think it's helped any person except, the globalists.
  • 00:22:06.789 --> 00:22:09.591
  • We got rid of the remember the electric vehicle mandate
  • 00:22:09.591 --> 00:22:12.761
  • That biden said. everybody has to buy an electric car.
  • 00:22:12.761 --> 00:22:15.364
  • We got rid of that.
  • 00:22:15.364 --> 00:22:16.465
  • We got rid of, pbs funding.
  • 00:22:16.465 --> 00:22:18.801
  • And by the way, i occasionally watch pbs.
  • 00:22:18.801 --> 00:22:20.969
  • I'll watch, but but you know what?
  • 00:22:20.969 --> 00:22:22.805
  • Why can't people want to watch it?
  • 00:22:22.805 --> 00:22:24.306
  • Why should they? why can't they pay for it?
  • 00:22:24.306 --> 00:22:26.208
  • I mean, elmo is one of the richest guys on the planet.
  • 00:22:26.208 --> 00:22:28.610
  • I think he's even richer than you are after.
  • 00:22:28.610 --> 00:22:30.512
  • You know that that we have that subsidizing.
  • 00:22:30.512 --> 00:22:33.916
  • So, we got rid of that.
  • 00:22:34.416 --> 00:22:36.318
  • We got rid of all these programs.
  • 00:22:36.318 --> 00:22:37.886
  • You never even heard of all these global,
  • 00:22:37.886 --> 00:22:39.588
  • This global that blah, blah, blah.
  • 00:22:39.588 --> 00:22:41.323
  • Why are we spending sending all this money abroad
  • 00:22:41.323 --> 00:22:43.926
  • When we don't have.
  • 00:22:43.926 --> 00:22:44.793
  • We can't pay our bills here at home.
  • 00:22:44.793 --> 00:22:46.662
  • Yeah.
  • 00:22:46.662 --> 00:22:47.796
  • And by the way, npr got a surge in private donations.
  • 00:22:47.796 --> 00:22:49.431
  • Good.
  • 00:22:49.431 --> 00:22:50.265
  • It shows that you guys could have been
  • 00:22:50.265 --> 00:22:51.467
  • Funding yourself without government money.
  • 00:22:51.467 --> 00:22:54.169
  • That's the whole point.
  • 00:22:54.169 --> 00:22:55.671
  • Go fund yourself through private donations
  • 00:22:55.671 --> 00:22:59.107
  • Like we have to do it.
  • 00:22:59.107 --> 00:23:00.008
  • Turning point usa, a turning point usa.
  • 00:23:00.008 --> 00:23:01.844
  • We raised over $100 million a year.
  • 00:23:01.844 --> 00:23:04.012
  • Five 500,000 donors.
  • 00:23:04.012 --> 00:23:06.081
  • We don't get any money from the us treasury,
  • 00:23:06.081 --> 00:23:08.851
  • And you have to prove that you deserve to exist.
  • 00:23:08.851 --> 00:23:11.753
  • You get money
  • 00:23:12.120 --> 00:23:13.322
  • Because you provide a value added to the american economy.
  • 00:23:13.322 --> 00:23:16.592
  • And that's why people fund you.
  • 00:23:16.592 --> 00:23:17.960
  • And that's fantastic.
  • 00:23:17.960 --> 00:23:18.994
  • I love what you're doing.
  • 00:23:18.994 --> 00:23:20.662
  • Well thank you.
  • 00:23:20.662 --> 00:23:21.396
  • Thank you means a lot steve.
  • 00:23:21.396 --> 00:23:22.564
  • And i agree
  • 00:23:22.564 --> 00:23:23.432
  • We do have a value add whereas npr it's
  • 00:23:23.432 --> 00:23:25.534
  • Not going to have to justify its existence.
  • 00:23:25.534 --> 00:23:27.035
  • Same with pbs.
  • 00:23:27.035 --> 00:23:28.470
  • Thank you so much steve. really appreciate it. thank you.
  • 00:23:28.470 --> 00:23:32.441
  • Every day brings a new
  • 00:23:32.908 --> 00:23:34.543
  • Headline questioning israel's right to defend herself.
  • 00:23:34.543 --> 00:23:37.479
  • But behind the politics is simple truth.
  • 00:23:37.479 --> 00:23:39.414
  • Israel security
  • 00:23:39.414 --> 00:23:40.616
  • Is possibly the most complex anywhere in the world.
  • 00:23:40.616 --> 00:23:43.151
  • On october 7th, we saw just how much depends
  • 00:23:43.151 --> 00:23:45.687
  • On the brave men
  • 00:23:45.687 --> 00:23:46.855
  • And women who are ready to act when every second counts.
  • 00:23:46.855 --> 00:23:49.458
  • Israel's first responders are the heroes
  • 00:23:49.458 --> 00:23:51.760
  • Who run towards danger, not away from it.
  • 00:23:51.760 --> 00:23:54.162
  • And even now, nearly two years later,
  • 00:23:54.162 --> 00:23:55.964
  • Israel is still under fire daily
  • 00:23:55.964 --> 00:23:57.699
  • With rocket attacks, border threats and acts of terror.
  • 00:23:57.699 --> 00:24:00.235
  • These frontline defenders
  • 00:24:00.235 --> 00:24:01.336
  • Need our help through
  • 00:24:01.336 --> 00:24:02.471
  • The international fellowship for christians and jews.
  • 00:24:02.471 --> 00:24:05.007
  • You can provide lifesaving emergency gear
  • 00:24:05.007 --> 00:24:06.942
  • That helps you keep them ready and protected.
  • 00:24:06.942 --> 00:24:09.278
  • Armored security vehicles, trauma kits.
  • 00:24:09.278 --> 00:24:11.313
  • Mobile bomb shelters. flak jackets.
  • 00:24:11.313 --> 00:24:13.148
  • Your support delivers
  • 00:24:13.148 --> 00:24:14.049
  • To help directly where it's needed most.
  • 00:24:14.049 --> 00:24:15.717
  • I fully support the fellowship.
  • 00:24:15.717 --> 00:24:17.219
  • It's one of a kind ministry that has my full support.
  • 00:24:17.219 --> 00:24:19.655
  • Go to ifk jorg right now and stand with israel's heroes
  • 00:24:19.655 --> 00:24:23.191
  • While they stand in the line of fire.
  • 00:24:23.191 --> 00:24:23.191
