Sen. James Lankford: Outrage Over the FBI Targeting Catholics
"I know you're a Christian man as am I and these attacks on the Catholics that coming from the FBI infiltrating the I'd love to get your take on that. Yeah, I actually met with Christopher wray on that exact issue and said, what in the world happened? He said, this is a single field office. This is something we checked. We pulled it immediately. We put in process to make sure that's not happening again. My question is, what is happening among rank and file that people would think this is a good idea to be able to say, hey, watch out for those traditional Catholics because they may all be domestic terrorists. That is insanity that that's in the process that they feel like this is what the Biden administration would want to put out. What's even more so is Marco Rubio and IRS talking because the Catholics were kicked out of Walter Reed for doing services for Catholic service members, the week before holy week. But the week before Easter, they were kicked out and they put it into a for profit other organization that then had to go find Catholic priests to be able to help. So we're asking the simple question, why would you do that? And we're walking through to be able to make sure that this administration honors basic religious liberty of every individual of every faith and that that's protected.

"This is was on the navy's Instagram Sorry I said Twitter in the podcast Instagram feed And it's a U.S. Navy sailor talking about the best part of their deployment Now love the navy but all I want to hear about on Instagram from the navy's official account is how we're going to kill bad guys And how we're going to win the next war I don't really want to hear about a divisive kind of sexual politics sexual identity politics agenda I'm sorry That's not what the navy's there for Do that on your own time That's not what the navy's there for Marco Rubio put this out This was on their Instagram feed This is the best part of the deployment for this particular sale check this out And I was able to deploy on the USS Gerald Ford last fall and the coolest thing I did on board was to be able to participate in a LGBTQ spoken word night and I was able to read a poem that I wrote to the whole ship and I was probably the culmination of the whole deployment Guys listen man Ladies out there too There's no time for this okay There is no

The New York Times Defies Big Trans?
"Which is the gay and lesbian alliance against defamation. Got it against Stephanie. Okay. So glad has launched a campaign to go after The New York Times. Now, people ask all the time, Charlie, how are we going to win? Part of the strategy for our victory is to just wait it out and let the left fight amongst themselves. It's just a matter of time. And that is exactly what is happening between Glaad and The New York Times. The New York Times, which is a rag, and is a propagandist paper, which just as a fact, though, is not as bad as The Washington Post. You got to be fair. They are not as bad as The Washington Post. Having dealt with them both, there's a little bit more of a micron of truth, oh, by the way, this also ties in Marco Rubio has a new bill that would ban most trans people from the U.S. Military. Good for you, Marco, I fully support that. That's exactly right. That's exactly what we need. Draw a line in the sand and stop putting up with this garbage. Which, by the way, was the rule back when we actually used to win wars and not shoot balloons out of the sky with hypersonic heat missiles and miss one of them. 50% success rate. Okay, so glad sends this letter to The New York Times. And says to The New York Times, hey, stop the right wing coverage of the trans issue. Literally glad tells The New York Times, where is this quote? Oh yeah, glad. We have had enough, said Glaad president CEO Sarah Kate Ellis, quote, The New York Times and accurate biased coverage has been cited in legal documents used to justify discrimination and targeting of trans people. This is chilling, and it should give every reader and every leader of The New York Times pause. So let me

Myra Adams and Eric Discuss the Bible's Cultural Relevancy
"And I both know that it's impossible to live in American culture in English culture in England. Without hearing phrases that are from the Bible. And so if you don't know the Bible, it's a little bit like being utterly ignorant of Shakespeare. You are culturally illiterate because there are so many phrases that come from Shakespeare and from the Bible. And if you don't know about those things, I mean, I'm big on cultural literacy. And you have a chapter in your book, Bible study for those who don't read the Bible, where you talk about some of the sayings that we think of as common sayings, but are rooted in the Bible. You posted it in your town hall column on June 27th, 2021, that was my birthday year and a half ago. Why don't we start there? Okay, well, you bring up a really good point about how cultural literacy is what's really declining. And both the Bible and Shakespeare were two of the works that were really the foundation of education and literacy for centuries in western culture. And both of them seem to be on the decline. Particularly the Bible and I guess probably Shakespeare is probably what he's probably been canceled too by this time. But the Bible can be considered hate speech. So senator Marco Rubio had told me that years ago that he believed that at some point, the Bible, the Bible would be considered hate speech in a year ago, I talked to him and I said, remember when you said that a year ago, Bible would be considered hate speech, and he said, I was right, wasn't I? Right. And that's today's left in the United States of America. But today's left in the United States of America in thinking of the Bible of hate as hate speech. They're in good company because the Taliban, the North Korean regime, they also think of the Bible as hate speech. So if you're on the left and you think the Bible is hate speech, join those clubs.

The 2024 Horse Race
"Landscape is developing. And it's going to be a very long, tiring primary. A year from now, we're going to be right in the middle of it. And so we have Nikki Haley, who is officially announced him Scott, who looks like he's going to run Mike Pence, who's probably going to write, run Mike Pompeo, who's probably going to run. Whispers are that friend of the show, Vivek Rama Swami. Might run for president. And then, of course, Donald Trump is running. I think all of this helps Trump. All of this strengthens Trump's case. For 2024, Donald Trump running for the presidency, standing against neoliberalism, open borders, silly trade deals, and interventionist foreign wars is how he will differentiate himself amongst many other things, obviously. The fact that he was actually president, he got a lot done. These people say they're running for president. Nikki Haley says she's running for president Tim Scott says he is running for president, but in reality they are running against Donald Trump. That is the reality, but they're not going to say it. They're not going to try to insult Trump voters, but they are going to be running against Donald Trump. And I actually think that helps Trump. I think Trump will be able to navigate that successfully. The more kind of targets the better and they're going to start attacking each other because they're going to try to fill up the different lanes. Now whether or not Ted Cruz is going to run for president, that will be interesting if Marco Rubio run for president that will be interesting. We'll Glenn youngkin run for president. Will Greg Abbott run for president? These are all very interesting questions. Will Larry Hogan run for president? I think all of it helps Donald Trump

Lee Smith: Sy Hersh's Careless Claims About the Nord Stream Bombing
"My argument is not that we didn't do it I think that's quite possible I don't know We don't have enough evidence yet But it's certainly quite possible The Biden administration is behind the sabotage of Nord streams one and two pipelines My concern is with Seymour hersh's particular article Which is riddled with obvious holes and some of which I describe in the article and some of which I don't I didn't want to over over detail it I mean we can go through some of them if you like Yeah give us the biggest the biggest issue some of the most triage enforced One of the most troubling components of the article as you see Well I'll tell you everyone I've spoken with you know some of these folks who have Intel or military backgrounds the first thing that the first thing that they've mentioned is yeah the idea that they were using fleet divers rather than naval special warfare teams doesn't make sense And then of course first justifies that by saying they didn't want to brief the gang of 8 because they were scared of leaks And there is no one in the gang of 8 who would be against that on the Republican side You have McConnell and the car seat And you have Marco Rubio and Mike Turner All of those people are Russia hawks So there's nothing to worry about with leaks But more importantly they didn't want to they were worried about leaks for the gang of 8 but they had no problems bringing in Norwegians And then they briefed the Swedes and the Danes It doesn't make sense And the larger thing we're going to hide we're going to hide this really delicate operation behind a public joint exercise all of these things just feel very fishy And I mean I think what's going on is I think that someone well I know that someone lied to see more hirsch that's my reading of the piece

"Right back. All right. Okay. By Marco Rubio looks really uncomfortable. It's like, man, this is about to get really tough. And it did get tough. Is that water under the bridge because he was still a candidate Tim? In a certain sense, yes, I mean, you know, she out politics are fluid, right? And if he is running for vice president, she was part of the Trump administration. So Trump has shown that if people come back and grovel to him, that he will potentially throw them a bone, but the story that she has to tell she may have one in the Republican primary, but I just think the lane of not Trump is very small, and it has shrunk. And the message that you're hearing from her there in 2016, I don't even know that we're going to really hear that from a viable candidate in 2024. I believe that someone has to stand up to Trump in the primary, but I do think the cast of characters that you're going to get are going to be pretty lame and weak in terms of drawing contrast with the president. It's to be seen, but she's said, before she was running, that she was going to support Trump in 2024. And will not run if he runs, now she's running. I don't know what she's. I don't know what the plan is to be honest. And to think boy, the first debate is less than 6 months away. If I have this right, 6 months away in Milwaukee, how big is this field going to be? Boyd Matheson? I think it's going to be, I don't think it's going to be huge. I think there's a lot of folks who are going to look at it and figure that there's just not a clear path there and stay on the sidelines and I do think Nikki hey, that was actually in the room that day that she introduced Margot Rubio way back then. And I also thought it was very interesting today that she actually alluded back to that. She ended by talking about Napoli, and the fact that it's always hurts a little more when you've got spiked peels on. That's right. And kind of took a little shot of the former president. So I think the field will not be there's a lot of names obviously being floated there, including another south carolinian senator Tim Scott, which would make the South Carolina early primary for the Republicans really interesting. But in terms of getting there, I don't think we're going to see a 16, 18. Like we did in 2016 or with the Democrats in 2020? The other big breaker today in the world of politics brings us to California. It was dianne Feinstein, maybe you guys are not surprised because a lot of folks have been waiting for this. She's not running for a 7th term. Now this opens up Elaine to potentially more candidates, but we've already got Adam Schiff. We've already got Katie Porter. Tim, this is going to be an important one to watch and I suspect a very expensive race. Yeah, always, always an expensive race in California. Senator Feinstein has had an incredible career in public service, she came into the Senate as a reformer. And it's a big announcement from her today. Obviously, like you said, we've seen some people who got ahead here in representative Schiff and representative Porter. It is going to be a tough primary. It is an expensive place to compete. And at the same time, the test of being able to raise money is infinitely more important in a state like California. So we'll see very early on who's able to separate themselves in that pack. And to think I didn't have time to bring up Kerry Lake. She spent two days in Iowa. Over the weekend. Boyd Matheson and Tim Hogan stay right where you are. We're going to have some final thoughts as we go back to where we started. The fastest hour in politics

Is Sarah Huckabee Sanders Vying for a VP Ticket?
"There's a new CNN poll out there that says well over 70% of you thought the president did a good job last night. Over 40% of Republicans said that the president did a good job as well. What was your take? How do you think Sarah Huckabee Sanders did with the Republican rebuttal? I thought she bottled pretty darn well. And that's always a hard speech. And go back to Marco Rubio with the glass of water, where he was chugging water, remember that tobacco, and then you had Bobby jindal, the governor of Louisiana, he was supposed to be the next darling of the Republicans, and the guy sped red through the entire speed. Nobody could understand what the guy was saying. He was talking so fast. But I thought Sarah Huckabee Sanders did a fine job. She really did illustrate the point that the Republican Party is the party of the future. She is the youngest governor in America. 40 years old. President Biden by comparison is 80 years old. It was a rather striking comparison. So I'm curious to get your take on Biden and Sanders. Part of me wondered if Sanders was maybe maybe running for a vice presidential slot. On a Trump ticket. Could be, but I don't think so. 8
The Hugh Hewitt Show: Highly Concentrated
President Biden; The Old, Old, Man
"I want to play for you Marco Rubio who went on to Fox with Sean Hannity last night and gave a discussion of the president's State of the Union, which I think sums up the reaction that most of us who have seen or heard or read about it because it was just a bizarre night. Cut number 40. Yeah, it was a bizarre speech all the way around him. There's a lot of bizarre lines tonight. One of them had to do with China where he said, namely one world leader he actually screamed into the camera. Name me one world leader that would trade places with president Xi, basically any dictator on the planet, would love to be the president for life of the second largest economy in the world in a rapidly growing military that can fly balloons over the continent of the United States and have nothing happened to them. And it's that joins a list of a lot of bizarre things tonight. Look, tonight, he recognized Paul Pelosi horrible attack. No one was in favor of it, completely ignores the fact that city right in front of him is Brett Kavanaugh, or an assassin, was arrested within steps of Brett Kavanaugh's door completely ignored that. You know, he attacked big pharma, smeared them up and down. I'm not always a big fan of big pharma, but then he takes credit and brags about a vaccine that they made billions on because he fired people unless they used their vaccine. He went after big oil. All this profits you should be reinvesting your profits before I, Joe Biden put you out of business over the next ten years. I mean, the litany of ridiculousness of it was just really bizarre statement, but let me tell you what you didn't hear about tonight and I thought that governor Huckabee touched on that in her rebuttal and her response is you didn't hear a lot of talk about pregnant men tonight. You didn't hear a lot of talk about some of these crazy things because they're pivoting now to an election mode and they know all that stuff is toxic. So try and pretend it's not happening, but it remains at the core and at the heart of their administration, not a lot of woke talk tonight, except for the climate stuff, which by the way, he doesn't tell you, benefits China, who make the batteries, who now dominate the solar panel industry and the like. And who continue to build more coal fired plants and all the other countries of the world, combined. So it was a bizarre speech with a lot of silly not lines and some really ridiculous ones perhaps the craziest of all is threatening he's going to veto any national abortion ban passed by Chuck Schumer's democratic Senate. And he screams it so you can see how strong he was screaming a lot last night. The president does not hear well, he does not speak while he does not communicate while he is an old, old man.

"Here's the problem. I mean, and I have to ask you directly. It's a two part question. Going forward, what should we do about this balloon? But more importantly, what will we do? Well, I think the first thing we need to do about it, I mean, they're going to go through all the diplomatic stuff and sent the complaint and so forth. But I think we need to be abundant on the clear and that is that these things are flying over our airspace and there's an opportunity to bring them down. We're going to do it. Now obviously we're not going to do it in a way that's going to fall on a major city and kill anyone and things of that nature. And it can be a little unpredictable. So it's not as easy as just going up there and knocking this thing down. I mean, you want to make sure that when it comes down, it doesn't come down on some city and kill a bunch of people. Or kill anybody. But at the same token, I think we have to make that pretty clear. But I think the most important thing we can do, look, there's those sensors and those things and they're gathering. But they can also get that information from satellite. They can get that information from all of the Huawei equipment and routers that are still installed across the United States. I mean, there's a million ways they can gather this information that they want. And they are doing it. Their espionage levels have grown. As much as anything else, this is just one more method that they use to collect intelligence on us. And so we have to be cognizant of it and protect ourselves against it. By the same token, we need to wake up. The most important thing we need to do now is wake up. And I think finally, for those who are still resistant to this notion, understand that China is a geopolitical competitor and adversary, the first we've had at the end of the Cold War. And they're actually a bigger and stronger adversary than the Soviet Union, which was a military superpower, but it was not industrial technological power. Economic power. The rest of the century will be defined by this relationship between the U.S. and China and the strategic competition. And we need to readjust everything we do in our country. And you

"This thing is dragging sensors on it, which are not small. I mean, these are about the size of a bus. A couple of them usually end up from you see that in the pictures. And so that would fall to the ground and probably shatter into a million pieces, but there would be something to recover. There's no doubt about it. This is not complicated technology. And that's the one part of it. But it's ingenious in the sense that they can argue, well, that's just a balloon we put it up in the atmosphere. It's there to monitor. I mean, it seems so silly. It doesn't seem 21st century that they think they can get away with it with some level of deniability, including while we didn't mean for it to go over there, but it's a balloon. You know how balloons are? That's actually not accurate. These things are maneuverable to a certain degree. I mean, they're not as precise as a UAV, a drone or an airplane, but they are maneuverable. They can generally know where they're going to go. And this thing wasn't going over tourist destinations that went over the northwest and went over Montana where we have ICBM fields. It worked way across. So it has maneuverability and it's not the first time, by the way. I mean, we've seen these before. I just think yesterday, the acknowledgment of it is because they knew people were going to be seeing it. And there were going to be reports about it and you couldn't hide it. And I think it is disappointing that they chose not to bring it down when it was over a sparsely populated areas where they could have not just retrieved it, but sent a pretty strong message.

"Let's speak for a moment before we have to say goodbye. Let's talk about these classified documents. You've demanded some transparency from the justice from the art top intelligence officials. Now we've got looks like we've got the FBI swooping down on Mike Pence's house. I wonder if they're going to go to Hawaii, nice little vacation for some of these FBI agents and check out president Obama's house. And Maui, I mean, are you getting cooperation from these intelligence officials over this classified documents mess? No, not yet. And hopefully that's going to change. And by the way, on the Pence thing, what was most amazing to me was that they won't talk Congress anything, but somehow CNN had a crew at 5 a.m. outside pence's home ready for the FBI to show up. Funny how that works. Funny how that works. So here's the fundamental problem, right? And so Justice Department goes in, they seize all of these documents. They start reviewing everything. When they see something that they think might be classified, they send it to the intelligence agencies and say, hey, can you confirm that this is classified or not? What we want to know is it's not our job to oversee whatever investigation they're carrying out from a criminal justice perspective. We need to know which we have access to all these documents. We just don't know which ones they are. Which materials were the ones that were stored in stored and or taken inappropriately. Because it is our job to oversee the intelligence community. And the intelligence community's role right now is to assess whether those materials being exposed the way they were created, a national security problem, and if so, what can we do to mitigate it? For example, that those things sitting in someone's garage like Joe Biden's, if exposed, would it have exposed some method of collection? Would it have exposed some sources like people because those people are in nature? We need to know what the danger is and what we're doing about it. How can we possibly conduct oversight over the intelligence agencies assessment of danger and mitigation if we don't know what we're talking about? Right. And so we just can't do our job without it. So they're hiding behind this DoJ thing, which is absurd. That's an untenable position. And it's here. And by the way, there is bipartisan support for the proposition that I've just laid out. Yeah. So I think at some point here, we're going to need some cooperation, or things are going to start to happen, because for example, the intelligence community, you know, their ability to function, it depends on two things money that Congress appropriates every year. But also authorization, which it's not just that you give them the money, you got to authorize them to spend it. And we are the authorizers. So I haven't transitioned to the threat level yet, but I certainly am aware of what our leverage points are to overseers, and we'll use them if necessary to do our job. And so we're in the process I'm hoping we can get a resolution that's good and right, I believe we will eventually because they're in an untenable position, but so far the answer is that has not happened. CNN seems to know more about it than the people in government charged with overseeing these agencies. Senator Marco Rubio, I don't say this often to our guests. I get to interview a lot of people, but frankly, I have such a deep tremendous respect for you and admiration.

"And we need to readjust everything we do in our country. And you got reality. And you've been saying this for some time. I mean, you introduced bipartisan legislation to ban TikTok from operating in the United States and it just feels like you're pleased or falling on deaf ears, obviously TikTok is enormously popular, popular. Can you explain why TikTok is so dangerous for the citizenry of the United States? Well, I start by explaining why it's not. The danger here is not what I would have what I would tell you. Interesting videos that people put up there. It's a platform that certainly is very successful because it uses artificial intelligence and knows exactly what you like. Every time you're on it, it learns more and more about you. But how is it learning about you? Well, one of the ways it's learning about you is it's collecting all of the data. And not just all the data on your app, all the data on your phone that it is collecting, even without your permission. Your photos, your text, your location, and your friends, everything. It knows more about you than you know about yourself and it can use it to predict what it is you like to look at and what kinds of videos you're likely to stay on versus others. And every time you use it, it learns more and more about you to the point where it is ahead of you. It's artificial intelligence. Now why is that a danger? It's not a danger because some 16 year olds data, it's because it's the data of 50, 60 million Americans, and everyone they interact with. Right. To the extent it touches your device. And what does that allow them to do? Well, a lot of things. First, I'm just on a commercial front. Imagine the advantage that that kind of information on Americans would be to Chinese companies looking to market here. It destroyed an American company with American jobs and replaced it with a Chinese company that does it better. And people will say, well, how does that Chinese company sell so well? Because they know more about America's American companies, no Americans know themselves. Exactly. What about in a moment of conflict? What about in a moment of conflict where they decide, okay, all of the videos that talk good about why China has a right to take Taiwan, those are the videos that TikTok is going to show. All of the videos that talk bad about China, we're not going to let those trends on it. And so you can influence society. But the third is the unknown vulnerability of this data. The unknown vulnerability that maybe I'm not on TikTok, but someone on close to is, and somehow, through that back door, they've been able to gather, not just information on them, but information on me. And so which creates a backdoor for them in a moment of conflict to deny us all kinds of things. Right. Whether I'm shutting down the electric grid, all the way to disrupting the basics of life that to the point where Americans will be inconvenienced and decide, you know, it's not worth doing anything against China. This is the price. We're already facing that. So forgive me for my cynicism, but TikTok is a great example of how we're just pragmatically in bed with China. So with this kind of complicated relationship that the United States has with China, how do we proceed? I mean, I noticed you use the words and your diplomatic. They are an adversary. They're a competitor. They're not our enemy. Or are they? I mean, how do we characterize China on the world stage? What should President Biden do in response to this? I mean, how do we how do we unwind this very, very cozy relationship, frankly, that we have with China? Yeah, well, adversary is like the junior enemy, right? I mean, an enemy I always view the word enemy as someone that you're involved in open hostile warfare type conflict. ISIS is an enemy of the United States. With China, we hope that it will ever be a war between the U.S. and China because it'll be bad for the world. We don't want that to happen, but they are most certainly an adversary in the sense of they seek to do is harm to their benefit. And so that makes them an adversary at this point. Now, let me go back for a moment and say, how do we do? I think the first step is it's not just about political leaders. I think this is writ large. Here's an example, right? It used to be this. And that is, you're absolutely right. We need more jobs in America. We shouldn't depend on China, except you know, I don't want to pay a lot more for my iPhone, and if we force the factories to lead China for the iPhone that's going to cost twice as much. Well, I want to take on China, but not at the expense of paying more for an iPhone or any other product that's made over there. Now it's happening with TikTok. Everybody's like, of course, we've got to be tough on China. But don't ban TikTok because that's going too far. Right. So there has to come a point here where people have to say, look, I get it. You know, it's an inconvenient. It's going to be too bad that I can't go on this platform. Maybe someone else will come in and TikTok in America is because they bought musically, which was not a Chinese company. They bought a company took it over and turned it into this. So I think that really begins before the political leaders that actually is about society and people having to accept that, yes, having creating distance from China to protect America may lead to some things in your life that make life not as cheap in some cases or fun in some cases as it currently is. But what's more important here? What's more important here, the ability to post and watch really cool videos that you like or the future of this country for the next 20, 30, 50 years and the world we're China becomes the dominant power at America's expense. And that's the point where I right now, and these are the kinds of choices we can't have them both here. And so if you do that at the societal and public level, then I think leaders will follow. I think a lot of these leaders, frankly, I mean, they're balancing a lot of different things. I mean, in the case of Biden, part of it, and not all of it, is you got people in that administration that think the most important thing we need to do with China is a climate deal. I know. But we have a we have a transportation secretary who says that every transportation decision made has to be made with climate change in mind. I mean, it's stunning. You hear this stuff and you think you can't believe it. Well, where do they make these batteries and the basic materials that are needed for those batteries? And otherwise, that source to China dominates that marketplace. That's right. So look at solar panels. I mean, we basically were the innovators of that and they've now taken that over and so we're going to be more dependent on the technology that the Chinese come to control. So that's what I mean. They want to go to Davos and they want to go to some forum somewhere and hold hands with the Chinese and say, we've solved climate change. Meanwhile, the Chinese are funding more coal fired plants than every other country in the world combined right now. And you mentioned Davos in these climate change summits and all that. And I'm sorry, I can never shake the image of all of them flying over on their private jets. They're big carbon footprint creating private jets. It just is astounding to me. And John Kerry's explanation that one day, well, you know, I have to get around. It's the way I try. Are you kidding me? Guess what? American Airlines goes everywhere. Delta, you'll get there on delta. Senator Marco Rubio our guests were chatting about this weather balloon or this Bible, and I keep saying weather, let's hope it's the wake-up call we need..

"News. Well, sentiment is growing in the U.S. Congress to move on restricting TikTok at Baxter has global news from the 9 60 newsroom in San Francisco. And yeah, X acto Brian, you're right to Congress seems to be growing very wary of the Biden administration's lack of action fearing that the Chinese ownership is not protecting user privacy. Bloomberg's Alex barranca says two bills are working out. There's another point of context this week that just like underpins the momentum against TikTok in Congress right now. That bill passed the same time Marco Rubio and some colleagues in the House of Representatives also introduced a bill that would ban TikTok outright. Yeah, the first banned use of TikTok on government owned mobile is the second bill and outright ban. India's test fired a nuclear capable long range ballistic missile says it will add great value to its defense. It comes following the fresh attentions along the disputed China border. U.S. president Joe Biden pledging $55 billion to help the African Union. I'm also calling for the African Union to join the G 20 as a permanent member of the G 20. And he says he's looking forward to visiting Africa at some point next year. Ukraine security chief let's see, downhill off says Russia is running out of missiles. He says Russia has enough firepower for only three or four more missile barrages the kind that have devastated Ukraine's energy infrastructure Dan Lok says that is a reason Russian strikes have been so targeted. Meanwhile, the EU has reached a package of sanctions on Russia. The target's Moscow's access to drones, the sanctions are to target three banks, including the Russian regional development bank. We're starting to get started to get a more clear picture of the significance of the breakthrough of nuclear fusion that we've reported on earlier this week of Lawrence Livermore lab here in Northern California, the process of producing nuclear power by using less energy to do it that could mean carbon free waste free power production in the U.S. within the next decade. Well, Ernest Moniz, whose former U.S. energy secretary says private companies so far have raised four to $5 billion to get it done. So the prize is incredible, and obviously that amount of private capital means somebody is betting on this happening. And I think we can demonstrate and maybe initially deploy. Some power plants on the grid in the next decade. Monique says he knows this is a first step, but his scientifically and financially very exciting.

'Respect for Marriage Act' Is About Punishing the Church
"There is a piece of legislation called the respect for marriage act, but it really has nothing to do with that at all. The fact of the matter is, gay marriage is the law of the land. All right, the Supreme Court already decided that the Supreme Court decided they were going to redefine what God had already defined, and that is that. But now, but now the Congress and the Congress is being motivated here by radical, radical LGBT activist. And I want to preface everything I'm about to share with you with this. Not every gay person in America supports the respect for marriage act. Not every lesbian supports this, not every you can go down the alphabet list. So we're talking about a small radicalized group of people. Because this is not about protecting same sex marriage. This is not about protecting interracial marriage. This is about punishing the church. That's what this is all about here folks. And it is a very, very dangerous thing that happened yesterday. Senator Mike Lee of Utah was one of three senators Marco Rubio and James lankford the other two who offered amendments that would have specifically protected religious liberty. Because when you, when you go to the, when you go to the people who created this piece of legislation, they're saying, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. This has nothing to do with the church. This has nothing to do with you, small business owner, if you're a Christian, we're not going to, we're not going to target you, it's just assumed that you're going to be protected in this. Well, that's not good because assumptions don't work under the law.

Respect for Marriage Act Will Impact Your Priest, Preachers & You
"Lot going on up on Capitol Hill. That's going to impact your preacher. Now, I suspect a good many of you actually are regular church attenders you go to mass, maybe you go to synagogue, you go to church, whenever the doors are open, if you're a baptist, well you got Sunday morning, then you got Sunday school, and then you got Sunday discipleship training and then Sunday Night services, and then you've got Wednesday, prayer meeting service. Baptist go to church a lot. What can I tell you? But the reality is you folks who go to church, what's happening up on Capitol Hill today is going to impact you and you need to be very, very, very, very concerned. About what the Republicans are going to be up to. And you say, well, Tom, wait a second. I thought the Democrats were in charge of the. So yes, they are in charge. But 12 Republican senators, including Willard Mitt Romney and Lisa Murkowski, have sided with the Democrats to advance the respect for marriage act. Now, here's what we're looking for and we're waiting for. We are waiting for the vote, but we're also waiting for an amendment a vote on an amendment senator Mike Lee and Marco Rubio among others have urged their colleagues to insert language that would protect your preachers because as it now stands. If this law goes into effect, if this law happens, if Joe Biden signs his John Hancock on the piece of paper, then your pastor and your church would be subjected to lawsuit, so if let's just say a gay activist comes and they say, hey, we want to be married in your church and you say, well, we can't do that because you know we're Presbyterian or whatever. And they could, at that point, under this law, sue you.

The Hugh Hewitt Show: Highly Concentrated
Why Did DeSantis Do so Well in Florida
"Why did governor desantis and Republicans in Florida do so well? Well, a couple of reasons, I think, first off, Florida is now red state. I think COVID changed Florida 5 foot over the top in terms of more Republicans registered now than Democrats and a lot of the migration that happened during COVID since a lot of successful people to Florida who are Republicans. Secondly, governors have done a good job. In Florida and ran a good campaign as did Marco Rubio. And so, but that's not kid ourselves. As Florida's not Wisconsin anymore. As far as not Michigan anymore, Florida is not Nevada anymore. Those are purple states. Florida is a red state now. And according to San Francisco's credit for being a good governor and we're ready to break the race for reelection. And Marco ran a very good race for reelection to the Senate.

And Marco Rubio did not expect to see breaking out of Marco Rubio today, but we do have breaking out of Marco Rubio because Marco Rubio has just released a statement calling for the Senate GOP leadership vote next week should be postponed. He continues. First, we need to make sure that those who want to lead us are genuinely committed to fighting for the priorities and values of the working Americans of every background who gave us big wins in states like Florida.

Trump Hit on DeSantis Has Florida Republicans 'Stuck in the Middle'
"Are you saying on a paulina Luna? It's some kind of a shale. Are you saying that unemployment and Luna is establishment? I know her personally and she's not. She won in the state of Florida. There's a lot of other people that want other than desantis. Remember when he came out and said Marco Rubio was his guy. Marco Rubio won by landslide as well. So you can't act like it, you can just single out Ron DeSantis and act like, oh, run the Santa is the biggest problem. Bro, keep it to yourself. I don't get it. I'm sick of defending Trump on petty stuff. I'll defend you all day on policy. I defend you all day with them saying that you're racist and that you say good people on both sides. I defend you all day with the truth. But they're arguing in a bigger back and forth in a time like this where we go through the midterms and everybody's question is still questioning the election for 2020. Everybody's concerned, like brother, at some point, you got to tap into your base. And you got to realize this is a time for unite. It don't just have to be us versus them.

Fixing the Election Process
"You know, we've been griping about Katie Hobbs. Katie Hobbs is in the battle for the governor's race in Arizona and Carrie Lake we all think is a rockstar and we've heard about the shenanigans that hit seemingly taken place in Arizona that race has yet to be resolved. So we'll keep you abreast of that. But I have heard a lot of people talking about Katie Hobbs and as well they should. She's incompetent. She's over the elections, the Secretary of State there. So she's over the elections process, no doubt about it. But I just before I go back to this issue with how then governor Rick Scott, and then subsequently, governor Ron DeSantis got our election system safe and secure and got us to a place where literally at 7 8 p.m. at night on election day we're like, okay, we have nothing else to talk about here in Florida because things wrap up so quickly. Marco Rubio tweeted out earlier today and I retweeted it, you can follow me on Twitter or any place social media, the Carl Jackson show that is the Carl Jackson show. But he tweeted out, listen, we have 7 and a half million voters here in the state of Florida. We wrap up our elections in about 5 hours. You know, basically what's up with the people and I'm paraphrasing at this point 'cause I'm not looking at his tweet directly. What's up with the people? What's up with the states that have 2 million voters and can't get it done? It takes days.

Who said he was beaten up in a Miami suburb and Marco Rubio tweeted that he was attacked by animals who told him Republicans weren't allowed in their neighborhood in court Monday. It's a weird how it's always different in court. A defense attorney said a defense attorney probed the accuser about what he said claimed to happen. The attorney for one of the alleged attackers said the fight actually happened as a result of a testosterone filled vista cuffs because manzan was staring at his client's girlfriend, even the prosecutor said he didn't believe politics had anything to do with the incident.

When lawyers peppered monzon with questions, there were some he refused to answer. Oh, he took the 5th. Shocking. About whether he changed his story after Rubio's tweet was after he saw Rubio's tweet that he told police it was politically motivated. And that's lying to the police. That's a crime. That's a crime. That's crying. But in a totally unconnected story, a Southwest Ohio man shot and killed his neighbor because he believed he was a Democrat. Believed it didn't even know or anything. The son told the dispatcher my neighbor just shot my dad. He's come over multiple times making statements. He's insane.

"Tonight, in Florida. More on that from WTO's Capitol Hill correspondent Mitchell Miller. Republican senator Marco Rubio is seeking a third term and his ad seek to paint democratic congresswoman Val demings as a lawmaker in lockstep with House speaker Nancy Pelosi. Val demings, she'd be Florida's most liberal senator ever. Demings a former Orlando police chief defends her congressional record and has leaned into the issue of abortion rights with her ads. Wants to criminalize abortion with no exceptions for victims of rape or incest. The latest polls have Rubio in the lead, though demings has brought in more campaign dollars through fundraising. On Capitol Hill, Mitchell Miller, WTO being new. There were major debates in Ohio, Georgia, and Utah last night in Ohio, democratic congressman Tim Ryan, and Republican JD Vance faced off in their second and final U.S. Senate debate. Ryan talked about electric vehicle technology sprouting up in the state and accused Vance of being an absentee Senate candidate. We have a battery plant across the street that was $2.3 billion investment. This is the future for us, JD, and I know you're not here a lot, but what we've been working on in this community and in Ohio are the jobs of the future. Vance shot back that Ryan is too liberal for Ohio. I don't care about running against Nancy Pelosi. I do care about the fact that a guy who's running to represent Ohio in the United States Senate votes with her a 100% of the time. In Georgia, Republican governor Brian Kemp debated Democrat Stacey Abrams and a rematch of their 2018 race. It's also a U.S. Senate debate in Utah between Republican senator Mike Lee and independent Evan mcmullin. President Biden preparing to make a major promise today on abortion rights. As he speaks to a democratic crowd here in Washington, D.C., the president is expected to announce that the first bill he'll send a Capitol Hill next year if his party holds control of both houses, would be a measure codifying abortion rights. His goal would be to sign it by the 50th anniversary of the road decision in late January. Democrats have had control of the House and Senate since mister Biden took office, but there has not been enough support within his own party to abolish the filibuster to advance an abortion rights bill in the Senate. That CBS White House correspondent Stephen portnoy. 1134, we turn now to Ukraine more Russian air strikes from drones have hit critical energy facilities there, president volodymyr zelensky, saying nearly a third of Ukraine's power stations have been destroyed in the past week. It's led to massive blackouts across the country, CBS Holly Williams says the Russian campaign of strikes using missiles and Iranian made kamikaze drones has opened a new phase in the nearly 8 month invasion as winter sets in. Ukraine's president Vladimir zelensky claims Russia made an even bigger order from Iran, putting the figure at nearly two and a half thousand suicide drones. Now, we can't independently verify that, but if it's true, it could have a significant impact on the course of this war. Even far from the battlefields, water heating and power are no longer certainties for the Ukrainian people with daily air strikes reaching far into the country, knocking out utilities, sometimes faster than they can be repaired.

Val demings crushed. I had to look at these numbers once again. Val demings defeated her closest opponent by 78 points. She notched 84% of the votes. She is a badass. Yes, she is. We have had her on the show. She is indeed a badass. So anyway, she is and she what is the polling there? Blah, blah. 48 to 44%. She is ahead of Rubio in that matchup. Claire mccaskill yesterday on MSNBC. He was taught. She really went in on that one because she said everyone's talking about Georgia and Pennsylvania. But she said Marco Rubio in Florida is in trouble scared. Yeah. He needs to be worried about what's going on. And in Florida with the abortion laws and everything else that's going on down there. So I think joy Reid was saying, who's from Florida? She's just, they can't run any of the usual plays against her. She was the police chief. Yeah. Like, they can't run the weak liberal to fund the police blah blah blah. Right? And she's a badass motorcycle. And was going to write it to Miami sexy liberals. So I'm just saying.

Here we go. Got it. He's got time to fight against Disney. I don't know why he wouldn't have time to help safeguard marriages like mine. Look, this is really, really important to a lot of people. It's certainly important to me. I started my day as I try to do on weekends. I try to give chasten a little bit of a break and do breakfast with both of our twins. And that alone, that's no small thing as every parent of a small kid's nose, it was one of those days where the tray table wasn't quite fitting into the highchair and I'm trying to make sure that they're busy enough with their little serial puffs to give me enough time to chop up the banana and get the formula already. And it just, I don't know, that half hour my morning had me thinking about how much I depend on and count on my spouse every day. Marco Rubio, he had said he called voting to protect marriage equality a waste of time, so that's what. Why? Pete was reacting to secretary Pete again. Our marriage deserves to be treated equally. And I don't know why this would be hard. For a senator or a congressman, I don't understand how such a majority of House Republicans voted no on our marriage as recently as Tuesday, hours after I was in a room with a lot of them talking about transportation policy, having what I thought were perfectly normal conversations with many of them on that subject, only for them to go around the corner and say that my marriage doesn't deserve to continue. If they don't want to spend a lot of time on this, they can vote yes and move on. That would be really reassuring for a lot of families around America, including mine. We were just talking at the top of the show about the Republican in Pennsylvania, the voted against codifying marriage equality. And then went to his gay son's wedding. Yeah, it's three days later. And so he was thrilled to be there. It's just there's some weird disconnect going on between politics and actual humans. Right? I mean, okay. So Marco Rubio, I decided to troll back. He said, I'll give you a real problem. We have a transportation secretary named Pete Buttigieg who believes that highways can be racist. Why not that? Okay. What? I need to explain it because it's always so stupid. You're like, what is he talking about? Because there is in terms of highway funding, historically. Right. But they always try to make it sound as stupid as the liberals say highways themselves are racist. No, knocking down entire minority neighborhoods to build. Thank you. Yeah. Anyway. We have a Harvard educated transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg. Never learned that there's a difference between the state level and the federal level. Okay. Disney fight was a state fight because our legislature rightfully passed a law that said that we don't want our public schools indoctrinating 6 and 7 year olds and the transgender agenda. And I supported that law. But what I focus on at the federal level in the Senate are federal problems that matter to real people, real problems. Marriage equality is a federal problem. And we are real people, by the way. Yeah. No kidding. And the transgender agenda as far as I know, Jody is. I guess you see. Oh, the transgender agenda is they would like to

"Caputo, mark. Always great to talk to you. And let's start with Val Demings in the news that you broke earlier in the week. Originally, the conventional wisdom seemed to be that She would run against Marco Rubio for the U. S Senate seat. But then there was a lot of talk that she was looking more at a race for at the race for governor going up against the Santis. But then you broke earlier this week that she is in fact going to enter the race against Marco Rubio. Can you talk a little bit about what's driving that decision? She gave it. I think she gave it a long, hard look. And you know what I think What she thinks is a better race for her. Is the Senate race? Uh, now that that could be because she thinks Marco Rubio like being easier candidate than Santa's. I've got to say Not sure if that's true. I'm not saying either are easier, tough to beat. But it takes quite a bit of analysis and I don't think it was actually done, you know, polling and focus group wise on who's easier, tougher to beat. So I do think it's a fault of the war but get decision of where she wants to be. And one of the things that Demings people said to me and describing her thinking. Was that you know, While she really dislikes run two Santas, and she kind of loads the Senate Republican Caucus Maurin Washington on and says that they're you know they're obstruction. Their opposition. For instance, the covert relief bill only to then see a number of Republicans in Congress turn around and talk about all the great things in the code release till they voted against. That was just kind of one of those bridges too far for her and she decided, you know this would be best. You'd best not only for her On only for the party in the state. Also, the party kind of nationally because Val Demings does does have does generate a lot of grassroots enthusiasm and in the base. I have seen it. My Twitter feed, and I was surprised. By how much folks on the left for cheering this on, but they know her. They like her. Now can she win? Well? Democratic Party's gonna have to do way more in sort of the fieldwork aspect of what a party should be doing, and they're not that is registering voters organizing, staying in touch with them that that seems to have just kind of disappeared in the post Obama era. And the election results are showed show why that's been folly for them. Any idea what this means for Congresswoman Stephanie Murphy, because accidents have reported last week that she was really looking at at running against Marco Rubio and now with about Demings entering that race, although she hasn't officially announced but certainly sounds like that's that's a short thing. What does that mean for Stephanie Murphy? Well, it means it's stepping Murphy's go states a really tough primary. If she decides to run, you know, the national Democrats are ah, little more behind or a lot more behind. Perhaps Demings, then they are Murphy. They Demings has better name I d. She? She's a dynamic public speaker s O. You know, she can raise the money. She can rile the base And you know if you're facing an opponent like that, and Stevie's biggest Florida when you don't have a lot of name I d that's problematic. This certainly opens the door. This decision and again I'm talking to Politico's mark, a poodle for Nikki Freed to enter the race for governor. We figured she was probably couldn't do that, anyway. With an upcoming announcement, perhaps is is early is too and first Charlie Crist is already in when it comes to that race. Could Stephanie Murphy shift attention to the race for governor? Yes, she could. I think the that sound you heard throughout Florida was Charlie Christian. Nikki Freed, exhaling like who doesn't gonna be running for governor? Right s? Oh, yeah. You know, merging into that Murphy gets to stay put. I mean, you know, this is gonna be similar to why Demings chose to run for the Senate race. It's just gonna be kind of a gut call, um You know, there's a kind of a more conventional wisdom among Democrats that bloody primaries are bad. I think that's that's probably not the case. Ah, lot of People start paying attention when there's competition when there are campaigns. And so that's probably something that Democratic party could need. So you know, perversely what might be bad for Stephanie Murphy of primary a spirited primary against her across town, Maybe rival Val Demings could be good for the party in that it would kind of generate that amount of attention, excitement and maybe even enthusiasm. But again if you don't register voters is Democrats. All of these discussions, you know, for the general election. You know, become rather hedged. That is, you know, you have to start hedging it toward the Republicans simply because of the way the state performs and how the voter rolls look. Definitely if all things are equal you without a doubt, I think, give the edge to Republicans in the state. One of the question on this one, right? It's a It's a mid term of a democratic president. And usually you know, voters kind of tact the other way. Now, you know, it is folly to judge a Florida election before it happens Hell more than a year before. Election day. But this is just kind of the state of play as we see it now, So the caveat is, is that things can change. You know, the only constant is change and then final question for you When you talk to Democrats. Is there any concern that you've got Charlie Crist? He's exiting his seat. That is potentially a toss up race. You could have Stephanie Murphy looking to run for higher office. That's potentially a toss up race. You know, they don't have a lot of room to work with. If they want to hold onto the house E think you've hit the nail on the head pretty well. Is the those air pretty broad concerns..

Dealing with scandal should be an interesting, interesting race. On top of that, Katie. I saw that here in the state of Florida, Val Demings. We didn't know she would run for governor, maybe run. Against Marco Rubio instead challenging Marco Rubio in the Senate. That is what she has decided to do. It looks like reports are saying Val Demings is considering running for the U. S Senate against incumbent Republican Marco Rubio in 2022. No, no, no also trending Airbnb. Airbnb used to be a really cool place that you could go and get like a nice day for the night. Not the case anymore. Cleaning fees air like outrageous. I just dealt with this a couple weekends ago. I wanted to get an Airbnb down in Daytona for my family and I to stay out and I found one the other day. It was $99 a night. I was like, awesome. It was a whole house. I went to check out ended up being $445 for a $99 a night. There's a screenshot going viral on Twitter right now, so $99 for two nights was 1 98. The total price of the stay ended up being $413.114 dollars cleaning fee $44 service fee and then occupancy taxes and fees were another $60. No point. No, it's clean it myself. It's not a thing anymore. Airbnb is kind of on a downward spiral now because there are thousands of people on Twitter right now just bashing them. I guess they're also not boycotting Israel. So people are mad about that, too. So no go for Airbnb today on Twitter. Let's go to art in Palm Harbor, who can bring us up to speed on these fuel tankers? Real quick art. Hi. Well, there's a first thing you have to have is a class a CDL, which means you can drive a semi truck. Then you have to have a tanker endorsement, which means you learn.

Spotify is looking to hire a new executive sources say the streaming audio services trying to recruit someone with the Hollywood background to oversee production of the company's original podcasts, Spotify produces hundreds of podcasts worldwide. Back to you, right? Thank you, Jeff. Ryan Gorman in for Jimmy Several Oh, here on South Florida's first news and Manny, We have some pretty big political news here in the state of Florida dropping this morning. Our good friend Marc Caputo over politico. First to report that Congresswoman Val Demings is going to challenge Marco Rubio or his U S Senate seat in 2022, rather Then run for Florida Governor. That's quite a development. So the thought process was that you would really leaning in towards running against Governor Rhonda Santa's, but it sounds like and this was what I didn't understand about her decision. The conventional wisdom seems to be, and I think it's correct that of the two and I think both of them have a solid chance of getting reelected. But of the two Rubio is, is the weaker candidate at the moment, and it sounds like eventually death. Means came around to that line of thinking. And I guess one of the factors recently were run to Santis is fundraising numbers, which have just been through the roof and that, along with different democratic politicos across the country, telling her hey, you know the Senate seat. That's the way to go. We now have Val Demings looking at. It's looking very seriously mark photos reporting that the cheese planning on Running for US Senate rather than governor. So now you've gotta figure Agriculture Commissioner Nikki freed. We thought she was going to get in anyway. She's got this tomb first date as a date that she's been teasing on Social media social probably announce to run for governor then that puts her up against Congressman Charlie Crist for the Democratic nomination on then there were some reports that Congresswoman Stephanie Murphy from Central Florida she was going to enter the race for U S Senate and run against Marco Rubio. So her team has walked that back a bit. And the reporting at the moment is that a Demings does, in fact, get in the race that Murphy likely wouldn't challenge her in a primary so we could be You know, getting to that point now where we know who the potential challenges are gonna be for both Governor, two Santas and Senator Rubio Gonna be a fun race to watch.

"This is Bloomberg 11 30. Now. Global News update. President elect Joe Biden is dodging questions about the possibility of House Democrats moving to impeach President Trump again. Biden says he has long believed the president is unfit for office. He adds. He's primarily focused on his transition to the presidency. President elect Biden calling the writers who stormed the capital Wednesday. Ah bunch of thugs. During a briefing in Delaware, Biden called for a full blown investigation and says people should be held accountable. D C is increasing security measures around the capital. Mayor Muriel Bowser says they're getting ready for more protests ahead of the January 20th inauguration of President elect Biden, this time with more federal help. Search and rescue mission underway in Indonesia after a passenger jet carrying 62 people crashed into the Java Sea. That's the latest I'm Cameron Fairchild. You're listening to Bloomberg opinion on Bloomberg Radio. I'm June grown. So the day after the election, Missouri Senator Josh Holly, a rising star of conservative populism, declared Republicans in Washington are going to have a very hard time processing this, but the future is clear. We must be a working class party, not a Wall Street party. Holly is right. But continuing to embrace Trumpism goes against the goal, says Bloomberg Opinion columnist Michael Strain, director of economic policy Studies at the American Enterprise Institute. And the author of The American Dream is not Dead. But Populism could kill it. And he's here to tell us why. Pills have Republican senators Josh Holly and Marco Rubio are sort of interpreting the election results. Well, I think that there is, I think that they are taking away from Theo the surprising strength of of the president, uh, on the other Republican party generally. As evidence that that the president economic policy were successful, and, um, that they should, you know, kind of rebrand the Republican Party as the party of workers on day. That's a sentiment that both Senator Holly and Senator Rubio expressed that they after the election that the election results Pointed the way to the future and in the future is with the Republican Party is a zoo party of walkers. President Trump often spouted populist theories and pro worker rhetoric. But did he follow through on any of that? Was there anything to back that up? In my view, the president actual accomplishment for the working class are in and really the president. The president's effort don't even seem to have been its focus wasn't really on work that rhetorically itwas You know, I think the major legislative accomplishments of the trump years was the 2017 tax cuts. I'm of the view that that is gonna increase Workerswages. I bet indirectly on the left. You take it well. The problem is that the effects of that tax hasn't been really held back by the trade war. With China and trade hostilities with other nations, and that conflict in the room of international trade has held back investment by businesses which has reduced that spending put downward pressure on productivity. Put downward pressure on workers. Ladies, the president really undone. Good that he tried to do with the corporate tax cut with his trade wars. Even if you look at manufacturing specifically, you know, it's common to hear people argue, you know? Yes, the trade war You know a little bit bad for the economy overall, but it'll do a lot of good for being factory workers. The evidence suggests that Manufacturing employment actually was reduced by the trade war. So even even manufacturing workers haven't benefited from both. And then when you add on the failures that Advanced healthcare security for workers and failure to reduce drug crisis for workers. You know you really You really don't see much that the president or his supporters can point to, in terms of a changeable things they've done to help workers. Senator Hawley and Senator Rubio and many other senators are obviously looking to try to solidify Trump's base behind them. But does it seem as if it's not so much a base because of populist theories, but more because of Personality. They're following Trump because of his personality. Well, I think they have. I think they have an opportunity to actually put some meat on the bones. Here s O if they if they want to turn their whole party into a pro worker party, I think that would be That would be great. And then the Rubio you know, particularly several years ago, had some really good ideas to help workers if they were to move in that direction. I think that would be a departure from From President Trump's policies. It wouldn't be a continuation of the policy on that, I think is is the tree distinction? Secondly, what you bring up is really important. You know what? What will Republican politicians take away from? President success, you know? Well, well, they try toe to mimic his aesthetic. Will they try to, you know, kind of mimic the rhetoric. You know, my hope, of course, is that is that that isn't what we're in for from from the Republican Party. I hope that they try to come up with some Creative solutions to address today's problems and try and implement them again. Recognizing that that wouldn't be a continuation of President Trump's four years, it will be a departure from it. Michael, Thanks so much.
