C (3:42)

What you should be doing is honoring your promise that you made when you were looking to get confirmed in this job.

A (3:49)

You're going like that is you promised.

C (3:52)

That you would not take away vaccines from anyone who wanted them. You just changed the classification of the COVID vaccine.

B (4:01)

I'm not taking them away from people, Senator. He didn't take them away. He just took them off the recommended schedule. If you're a parent, and I don't know why you'd want to do this and give your kid a COVID vaccine, go ahead and do it. You're more than welcome to do that in America today, I would hope. You've seen what I've been trying to tell you for the last four years now, that it's a dangerous vaccine and you shouldn't be. But he didn't take anything away. He just gave people choice. Now, Democrat senators got beat down in all of this. They acted like little children. And when they get beat down and when they're defeated by the power of the truth, the battle acts of the truth, what do they do? Well, they pick up their ball and they mope and they whine and go home like a little school kid who lost his game on the playground. Pick up your ball or your starfish and go home.

A (5:03)

I was going to give it to you today, but after your questioning today, I don't think you deserve it. Because what this represents is to remember that every one of us can make a difference, sir. Tip something as small as a starfish on a beach that maybe got washed up, you throw it back in the.

B (5:18)

Ocean, you might not save them all, but you can save one.

A (5:21)

I'm sorry that you're not worthy of this nice little pin, sir, is a nice reminder. I'm going to pray for you, Secretary Kennedy. I hope we do better. I want you to do better.

B (5:30)

But today was a failure for you, man. No, man, it was a failure for you, Senator Luzion. It was a failure for Pocahontas, it was a failure for. Why did. It was a failure for all of these clowns. And RFK Jr showed exactly why President Trump put him in the position he did so he will stand up to these deep state big pharma lackeys. On with me now is chief of disaster and emergency medicine for the wellness company, Dr. Kelly Victory, also a very good friend of RFK Jr. Dr. Victory, it's great to have you on the program.

C (6:05)

Thanks for having me.

B (6:06)

Grant, what did you think of your buddy's performance today?

C (6:12)

Well, you have to remember the Democrats have overwhelming disdain for Robert Kennedy Jr. Independent of anything that went on during that hearing. He was a lifelong Democrat, the son and the nephew of high profile Democrats who's fundamentally rejected their entire platform and called them out for the frauds and hypocrites that they are. I thought he performed very, very well.

A (6:35)

They were nothing short of rude and.

C (6:38)

I think shameful in their questioning, although it wasn't humorous, I'm sure. Robert Kennedy, as he took the slings and arrows. It was somewhat laughable to hear senators, Democrat senators criticizing him for the rising cost of health care when it was the Democrats who passed Obamacare, one of the worst health care legislation bills ever.

A (7:01)

Passed in the United States.

C (7:02)

It was ridiculous the number of times they claimed that Robert Kennedy was responsible for denying people the ability to get vaccines, Covid vaccines or otherwise. He's done nothing of the sort. He did rightly so remove the recommendation for those vaccines for large groups of people because as he said, there is no data that suggests that they should be recommended.

B (7:30)

Dr. Victor, let me play a clip of RFK Jr. Basically this is not him sparring but spelling out his mission as he sees it at at Health and Human Services roll that America is home to 4.2% of the world's population.

A (7:46)

We had nearly 20% of the COVID deaths.

B (7:50)

We literally did worse than any country in the world. And the people at CDC who oversaw that process, who put masks on our children, who closed our schools, are the people who will be leaving. We need unbiased politics, free, transparent, evidence based science in the public interest. Those are the guiding principles behind the.

A (8:14)

Changes at the CDC.

B (8:15)

And you know, Dr. Victor, they accused him of not knowing the numbers and at one point he says we don't have real numbers for COVID deaths. If you remember, and everybody out there remembers, we were reporting on people dying in motorcycle crashes that were tested positive for Covid and they were labeled as a COVID death. So I don't think anybody can actually put a number on the number of COVID deaths and they were hammering away at him for that. It was Biden and his team doctoring the numbers.

C (8:44)

Dr. Victor Absolutely. I said from the very beginning, the virus is real. The statistics are not, in part because, for the reason you suggest there, Grant, they were fraudulently attributing the cause of death to Covid when it was anything from, you know, a stroke, heart attack, gunshot wound to the chest, whatever else. If you happen to have tested positive for Covid, might not have even had any symptoms. They called it a COVID death. And they did so because hospitals stood to make a lot of money by that. The CARES act gave them a huge incentive, additional dollars if Covid was listed on the cause of death. Robert Kennedy is also correct that we had a disproportionate number of the deaths, because only in the United States were people denied access to things like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine. Instead, they were hospitalized, put on ventilators, denied antibodies, antibiotics. People died because of malpractice.

A (9:43)

And the.

C (9:44)

The COVID Yes.

A (9:46)

Yeah.

B (9:46)

And I don't mean to cut you off, but in many respects I do, and I apologize because I hate to do that. But President Trump is talking right now, and I promised everybody we would get out to listen into him. He's having a dinner at the White House, I believe, in the Rose Garden, with big tech companies and executives. So let's listen in on President Trump.

A (10:02)

The press was going a little bit crazy because they saw this group together. So I thought we. No worries.

C (10:08)

Am I coming back, though?

A (10:08)

I think you have a little access, a little quick access, and I thought if you would like to say. If anybody would like to say a few words or maybe describe some of the great things that you're doing with your company. I know, Mark, you're building some buildings that are as large as Manhattan. That works pretty good, right? It's pretty good. So I thought you'd say a few words and we could take a couple of questions later maybe. Mark, would you like to say a few words about the company? Sure. Well, I mean, it's. Sorry, should I turn this on? Yeah. All right. Well, thanks for hosting us. And this is quite a group to get together, and I think all of the companies here are building, just making huge investments in the country in order to build out data centers and infrastructure to power the next wave of innovation. So it's, you know, we don't often get together as the CEOs of the different companies, but it's good to see everyone. How much are you spending, would you say, over the next few years? Oh, gosh.

B (11:13)

I mean, I think it's probably going.

A (11:14)

To Be something like, I don't know, at least $600 billion through 28 in the U.S. yeah. It's a lot. No, it's significant. That's a lot. Thank you, Mark. It's great to have you. Thank you. Great to have you. David, you know, you've done a wonderful job in working with the White House, a great expert. Would you like to say a few words?

B (11:40)

Thank you, Mr. President.

A (11:41)

It's a great honor to work here.

B (11:43)

At the White House and to work for you. You really care about this industry and all Americans, and I think you've done a tremendous amount already to unleash our innovators and also help build out the infrastructure of. Of the country. And it's doing a lot, not just for tech companies, but for ordinary working Americans, the construction industry, the trades, electricians, carpenters.

A (12:04)

There's a boom happening right now in AI because of what President Trump has.

B (12:08)

Done in terms of stimulating investment. It's going to benefit all Americans. So it's really a thrill to be part of. And this is a really incredible group that you've assembled here. And it's really, it's like I said.

A (12:19)

It'S just a great honor to have.

B (12:21)

A foot in each one of these worlds and being part of it.

A (12:23)

So thank you. Thank you very much. And, Sergey, you were saying a lot in the Oval Office. I figured you're somebody that likes to speak with his really wonderful MAGA girlfriend. So would you like to say a few words? Well, babe, do you want to say something?

C (12:41)

I, I truly. Every time I'm here or in your presence, I'm so grateful.

A (12:45)

So thank you. It's like, thank you. I can't believe it.

C (12:48)

Every time, like the inauguration here. I think you're doing amazing work.

A (12:52)

Thank you very much.

C (12:53)

We actually were just with.

A (12:56)

Leonardo Leopold. Leopold. She mentioned. Yeah, he's in Venezuela. Right. And you've. You're applying a lot of pressure to Maduro, and I think that's phenomenal for an American president. Actually be applying pressure there in Venezuela and then hopefully in Cuba and so forth. So there's a lot of civil rights work that you're leading. We didn't get a chance to mention. I also just wanted to mention we don't have to get into all the details talked about in the Oval Office, but I think it's a real incredible inflection point right now in AI and the fact that your administration is supporting our companies instead of fighting with them, it's hugely important. Obviously, it's a global race, and I think we're at the cusp where these AI models are, are about to become profoundly useful, kind of beyond the. Okay, wow. It's cool. Can do that. But actually, day to day, incredible utility, incredible productivity. So very grateful for your administration support. Well, you had a very good day yesterday. Google had a very good day yesterday. And do you want to talk about that? Big day you had yesterday. I'm glad it's over. Biden was the one that prosecuted that lawsuit. You know that, right? Look, it's a long process. Appreciate that. You know, your administration had a constructive dialogue, and we were able to get it to some. Some resolution. I would echo what Sergey said. I think the moment is one of the most transformative moments any of us have ever seen or will see in our lifetimes. So making sure the US Is at the forefront. And I think your administration is investing a lot already. The action plan under your leadership I think is a great start, and we look forward to working together. And thanks for your leadership. Great job. You're doing incredible. Really? Yeah. Lisa, how about you?

C (14:59)

Well, Mr. President, it's such an honor to be here. And the incredible work that your administration has done to support the semiconductor industry. You know, we're building the brains behind all of the wonderful AI that's being built here. And I think the amount of acceleration that we've seen just in the few short months that the administration has been in place is really. We're so grateful for that support. And we had a wonderful event this afternoon with the First Lady's support of the AI education plan. So I think the main message is we are all in to make sure that America wins the AI race. And it's an honor to be here.

A (15:34)

Thank you very much. Great job you're doing, too. Amazing job, what you've done in a short period of time. Really amazing. And I see somebody down there, Bill from Microsoft, that has done a pretty good job, too. I'll tell you what, I had that stock, it was 28, and now it's about 500 and something. I don't know what a job you've done. Would you say a few words about your company? Absolutely.

B (15:57)

Mr. President, thank you so much, obviously.

A (15:59)

For bringing us all together and the policies that you have put in place for the United States to lead.

B (16:07)

And one of the things that I think has made this industry unique is.

A (16:11)

Not only the innovation, but it's the market access that you have obviously championed for us all over the world and also the trust the world has on American technology. I think that everything that you are doing in terms of setting in place the platform where the rest of the.

B (16:29)

World can not only use our technology.

A (16:31)

But trust our technology more than any other alternative is perhaps the most important issue. And you and your policies are really helping a lot. So thank you very much. And also I wanted to thank Madam first lady for whom hosting what I think is perhaps the most defining issue, which is about skilling and economic opportunity.

B (16:50)

That comes with AI.

A (16:51)

And so I deeply appreciate you, your leadership there as well. Thank you, really. And a really amazing job you've done. Thank you. Bill, would you like to say a few words? Sure. Well, I'm in the second phase of my career, giving away all the wonderful money that Satya's good work has helped multiply a lot. But I think the thing that ties my first career that I still spend some time on because AI is so phenomenal and my second career is innovation, innovating in health in areas like vaccines or gene editing. And the President and I are talking about taking American innovation to the next level to cure and even eradicate some of these diseases. He mentioned polio, which is one that we're close. We don't need new science on that one. For some, like HIV and sickle cell, we do need new science, but the US has the seeds that in the same way that warp speed took those seeds and put them together, I think something fantastic can be done. You know, AI for our foundation is that we want a doctor for everyone in Africa through AI. We want farmers to have incredible advice and, you know, kids to have a chance to learn. So the work being done by the people at this table is changing the world. It's, you know, coming fast. So it's great. You know, we all get together and talk about how the US can lead in this case key area and apply it even to the poorest outside the US as well as to our great citizens. So thank you for incredible leadership, including getting this group together. Thank you, Bill. That's very nice. Tim Cook, you've done an incredible job with Apple, little company called apple. Thank you, Mr. President. Very, very few people have been able to do what you've done. Congratulations. Please. Thank you, sir. That means a lot to me. I want to thank you for including me this evening. It's incredible to be among everyone here, particularly you and the First Lady. I've always enjoyed having dinner and interacting. I want to thank you for setting the tone such that we could make a major investment in the United States and have some key manufacturing, advanced manufacturing here. I think that says a lot about your Focus and your leadership and your focus on innovation. I also want to thank you for helping American companies around the world. This is a very key, key thing. And I really enjoy working with your administration on those topics as well, because I think they're so important to the country. I want to thank the first lady for focusing on education. There's nothing more important than education. It is the great equalizer and always will be. And so thank you so much for including me. We are all different in some ways, but we all believe in the power of technology to improve people's lives. And that, that is the thing that binds us all together. And Tim, how much money will Apple be investing in the United States? Because I know it's a very lot, and it's, you know, you were elsewhere and now you're really coming home in a big way. How much money would you be investing? 600 billion. 600 billion. All right. It's a lot of. We're very proud to do it. That's great. Thank you very much. Thank you. Appreciate it, sir. Sam, you're a big leader of a very new industry at a very young age. You're a young guy. Do you want to tell us about your. What you're doing? You told me things before that are absolutely unbelievable. So what are you doing? First of all, to echo the comments of Tim and others, thank you so much for getting us all together, and thank you for being such a pro business, pro innovation president. It's a very refreshing change. We're very excited to, to see what you're doing to make all of our companies and our entire country so successful. The investment that's happening here, the ability to get the power in the industry back in the United States, I think this will set us up for a long period of great success leading the world. And I don't think that would be happening now without your leadership.

B (21:20)

We're very grateful to be able to build our company here, to build data.

A (21:24)

Centers here, to build the entire AI industry and lead the world in the United States. Echoing many other people's comments, I think this will transform the world in a profound way.

B (21:34)

And I think it really will be.

A (21:35)

The United States advantage to be able to lead the world this way. The event that the first lady hosted today about education was really wonderful. And watching what AI is doing even today for education and so many other industries is really great. So thank you so much for enabling this. We will invest a ton in the.

B (21:52)

United States and we will do our.

A (21:55)

Best to make sure that we continue to lead here. That's right. Thank you. Hundreds of billions of dollars and it's going to be well worth it. Then you have an unlimited market. Right. It seems like it comes to think of it. How much is Google investing? We are well marked. $100 billion in the next two years. It's $250 billion in the U.S. that's great. Great. We're proud of you. All right, thank you. A lot of jobs of boatness. What about Microsoft? That's a big number each year. We are close to, in the United States, around 75 to 80 billion dollars. Good. Very good. Thank you very much. Would anybody like to say anything? You have a lot of geniuses on my right. Some young, some not so young. Mostly young, come to think of it. Yes, please.

B (22:45)

I just wanted to echo everyone's comments.

A (22:48)

I think we've been just very impressed.

B (22:49)

With how this administration has really embraced AI.

A (22:51)

And I think that in addition to the infrastructure, most massive infrastructure built in history. I mean, we're talking 10x the size.

B (22:57)

Of the Apollo program. I think also to me, the most important thing is what AI will do for all of us.

A (23:03)

And I think that there's been a choice of whether to approach it with optimism. And I think that that's what I've.

B (23:08)

Really seen from this administration.

A (23:10)

So I just want to say thank you for that. Great job you're doing. Incredible job you're doing. I know every inch that you're building, and I can't believe it. They're big. The biggest buildings ever. You know, we talked about 100 story buildings. These buildings blow them away. Right? So I just want to. They're more lateral than they are up and down, but they blow everything away. So congratulations. Would anybody like to say anything, please? Satya. Mr. President, would you like to go? Sefra Safra.

C (23:44)

This is a most incredible time. AI is going to change everything. You hear all of us saying that, but the fact that you are our president and you recognize this right away, and you've unleashed American innovation and creativity. All the work you're doing in basically every cabinet post, in addition to what's coming out of the White House, is making it possible for America to win. Today's event that was spearheaded by our wonderful first lady, focusing on education is the center of where we need to go, because it is all of these young people who can't be afraid of new technologies. They literally have to embrace it and make America even stronger. And that focus was very, very critical. And I think this is the most exciting time in America ever. Ever. At least that I Remember? So thank you. Thank you for everything you're doing.

A (24:54)

Thank you very much. I appreciate St. Lord, everybody, Larry and everybody else. It's an amazing company that you're involved with and running. I just want to thank everybody for being here. I want to thank the media. They've been very nice lately, although I'm still here, so we have to. They made a couple of bad predictions. That was not good. I've never had that feeling before. I went to an event and people are coming up to me and saying, you're still here. I said, what do they mean by that? I didn't hear about this, but anyway. But I do. The press has been great in terms of this industry and they understand the importance of it. This is taking our country to a new level. We're leading the world. We're leading China, but we're leading the world by a lot. And we're leading it because of the people around the table. And all I can do is implement and make it a lot easier for you, and I'll be doing that 100%. So I just want to thank you all. Yes, did you have a question? Go ahead, please.

C (25:54)

Thank you. Mr. President, tomorrow we have a jobs report coming out, the first since the BLS commissioner who you fired won't be there. A lot of people will be turning to you to see if you believe the data that's released. Can you commit to saying the data will be credible?

A (26:10)

The number, I don't know. They come out tomorrow. But the real number, numbers that I'm talking about are going to be whatever it is, but will be in a year from now when these monstrous, huge, beautiful places, they're palaces of genius. And when they start opening up, you're seeing, I think you'll see job numbers that are going to be absolutely incredible. Right now, it's a lot of construction numbers, but you're going to see job numbers like our country has never seen before. Thank you very much.

B (26:38)

Thank you.

C (26:38)

Mr. President, I have two questions for.

A (26:40)

For you.

C (26:40)

First, after your phone call with Ukrainian President Zelensky today, do you plan to speak with Russia's President Putin in the near future?

A (26:48)

What? What if he will speak with President.

C (26:51)

Putin in the near future?

A (26:52)

I will be. Yeah, I will be. We're having a very good dialogue. I settled seven wars. The one that I thought would be maybe one of the easiest. You know, that feeling, you think one thing is going to be easier turns out to be a little bit tougher. But. But the one that I thought would be an easier one because of My relationship with President Putin and with Ukraine and everything else. I thought it would be the Russia, Ukraine disaster, where this week 7014 people were killed. Soldiers, in most cases, soldiers, a few from Kiev, relatively few, but mostly soldiers. And they're being killed at levels that we haven't seen since World War II. And they're not American, they're not from any of the countries that some of you are from, but they're. They're people, they're souls, and we'll get it done. But that's turned out to be the most difficult of the group. You know, I settled three wars. One was 31 years going, a lot of people killed 10 million people. Another was 34, and another was 37 years that was going on. And people said, you can't settle them. And I settled them. This one turned out to be more difficult. But we'll get it. We're going to get it settled. Mr. President, Senator Bill Tasser said, effectively.

C (28:10)

We'Re denying people vaccines. Do you have full confidence in what RFK Jr. Is doing?

A (28:14)

Well, I didn't get to watch the hearings today, but he's a very good person. He's. And he means very well, and he's got some little different ideas. I guarantee a lot of the people at point this stable like RFK Jr. And I do, but he's, he's got a different take. And we want to listen to all of those takes. But I heard he did very well today. But it's not your standard. It's not your standard talk. I would say that. And that has to do with medical and vaccines. But if you look at what's going on in the world with health and look at this country also with regard to health, I like the fact that he's different. Okay.

C (28:55)

Can you give us your latest.

A (28:56)

Thinking on semiconductor tariffs, sir, which you're considering imposing?

B (29:00)

And have you discussed that with any.

A (29:01)

Of the leaders down here? Yeah, I have. I've discussed it with the people here, chips and semiconductors. And we'll be putting tariffs on companies that aren't coming in. We'll be putting a tariff. Very shortly, you probably are hearing we'll be putting a fairly substantial tariff on not that high, but fairly substantial tariff with the understanding that if they come into the country, if they are coming in, building, planning to come in, there will not be a tariff. So investment. If they're not coming in, there's a tariff, fairly substantial tariff. Well, I don't know if they're building here, and for the most part, I think they're Building here. That's probably why they're here for the. But like I would say, Tim Cook would be in pretty good shape. No, no, please. Mr. Ben, are you urging or encouraging any candidates in the New York City mayor's race to drop out, to clear the field? No, I don't like to see a communist become mayor, I will tell you that. And I don't think you can win unless you have one on one, because somehow he's gotten a little bit of a lead. I would know. I have no idea how that happened, but I'd prefer not to have a communist mayor of New York City. And, you know, that's what he is, based on his policy, if you look at his statements in the past. So I would. I would like to see two people drop out and have it be one on one. And I think that's a race that could be won. Mr. President, you'll be heading to the UK in a few weeks. Yesterday, Nigel Farage was on Capitol Hill. He really was talking a lot about.

B (30:43)

Pushing back on censorship online.

A (30:46)

He was asking politicians like yourself, some.

B (30:48)

Of the people in this room, to really push back on that.

A (30:51)

How concerning is that to you?

B (30:53)

And, Mr. Zuckerberg, if I don't mind. You don't mind answering, how concerning is that to you? The lack of freedom of speech online in the uk?

A (31:00)

He didn't think you'd get that question. He's looking. He's looking at me saying, how the hell. He's saying, how did I get that question? If you'd like to answer. Free speech. Sorry, I actually wasn't paying attention. But it seems to be a crackdown.

B (31:15)

The British government seems to be cracking down on social media posts, people being arrested for tweets, social posts. Just wondering how concerning that is to you, Mr. President.

A (31:24)

And Mr. Zuckerberg, this is the beginning of your political career. No, it's not. I will just say that in terms of uk, strange things are happening over there. They are cracking down, and surprisingly so. And I've spoken to the Prime Minister and let's see what happens. But it is a different. A little bit different situation. I'm very surprised to see what's happening in. Are you talking about the UK in particular? Right. Yeah. I'm very surprised to see what's happening. Sad. And it's not a. It's not a good thing.

B (31:58)

Yeah, please, Mr. President.

A (31:59)

Thank you. America is first in artificial intelligence. But what are your concern in the. In the alliance of Axis of Evil, China, Russia and North Korea towards artificial.

B (32:11)

Intelligence, but also as military Sir.

A (32:14)

Well, I have no concerns. We have the most brilliant people at this table and nobody's close. And I spoke to world leaders and they admit, and they admit privately, but they admit the biggest. They admit we have the smartest people, we have the greatest technology they can copy, but they can't create like we can create. We have the smartest people in the world right at this table. So thank you for the question. Thank you very much, everybody. Thank you. Thank you very much. What's your reaction?

C (32:43)

Its vaccines on the Hill yesterday.

A (32:47)

I'll comment on that later. Thank you. Thank you very much.

B (32:55)

I'll tell you what, folks. In many respects, a stunning set of events inside the White House where President Trump invites these men and women who had it out for him. This shows you how President Trump is willing to put everything aside for the good of America. From Sergey Brin at Google, you have Bill Gates, you had Zuckerberg spending millions and millions of dollars to defeat President Trump. Now they're sitting in the Oval Office with him, not just sucking up to him, but thanking him for his push of a I making these people millions, if not billions of dollars on top of the billions they already have. They have to be surprised that President Trump is working out so positively for big tech when they did everything they could do to squash him. And not just him, which I have to tell you, it makes me so angry to see them smiling and yucking it up with President Trump when they did so much damage to all of you. They took food off of my table. When you look at Facebook and YouTube, Google demonetizing me. And just while this was going on, I thought I would just check if you Google Donald Trump and you click news to see what would come up. Now the Google founder is in there, the CEO of Google is in there. And you've got first Politico, the Economist, Axios, USA Today. Variety, Variety. South Park. Donald Trump gets Satan pregnant in wild new episode. The first headline is Trump is trying to blackmail the Supreme Court. Not one, folks. Not one positive comment on Google News. Positive article. Where's Breitbart? Where's real America's Voice? Where's the Gateway pundit? Nowhere to be found yet. They're making billions. And you know who will benefit from this? Sure they will. Those, those big time billionaires. Fine, I don't care. You will all benefit from it. This economy is going to rock and roll. President Trump could have easily said, I'm not inviting these people in. They were horrible to me. They tried to squash me. But instead, President Trump's the bigger man. And in the end, he's winning, and he's winning for America. And I watch a scene like that and I say, how do you do it, Mr. President? How do you hold it in sitting amongst the enemy there. But the enemy is loving President Trump now, isn't he loving President Trump now, just like we all do. Make America great again, baby. Make it prosperous again. And of course, make it safe again, which is something else he's trying to do. All right, folks, listen to me. Don't miss the Rebels, Rogues and Outlaws tour coming to the America First Warehouse September 12th and 13th.

All right, we know that Stitchfield's army is strong and we can claim yet another. Well, we're getting action for you. Okay? That's what we're doing. We're getting some action, and we're going to tell you about it next. And welcome back, everyone. I want to give you an update to a story that I feel very, very strongly about. Any time you have an American citizen where their government is about ready to, I'd say, starve you to death, but dry you out to death, drain your water well, this becomes a story for me. This is happening in Northern California as Governor Gavin Newsom pushes with Pacific Gas and Electric to decommission dams which do away with reservoirs and doing away with water for 600,000 people. In the Potter Valley in California, also, the salmon can swim free. Well, we had an independent investigative journalist on. Her name is Keely Covello, and she opened our eyes to this story. Watch.

C (37:22)

The Potter Valley project is a vital piece of water infrastructure that serves the North State. 600,000 people get water from this project, but he is supportive of removing these dams. And so just within the last few weeks, we've started to feel the effects of that. Burke Green let some water cuts as pge, the company that owns these dams, prepares to decommission and destroy them on the taxpayer dime.

B (37:51)

That was last Wednesday. On my way to Mexico for vacation, I had a brief text exchange on Thursday with A friend of mine in the White House about this story, let the president know about this. Well, I don't know if they pass it on to the president, but I can tell you this. Brooke Rollins took notice the Secretary of Agriculture, and she tweeted this out on Friday. This was just flagged for me at America On One. Insane. I'm on it. America on One is Keeley's Instagram and Twitter page. And the Secretary of Agriculture is now looking at this. So we're starting to get some action because nobody was covering this story except reporter and editor for On One, Keely Covello. She joins me now from California. Keely, welcome to the the program.

C (38:41)

Brant, thank you so much for having me again and truly, I think your show last week made a big difference for us. So I cannot thank you enough for highlighting this.

B (38:50)

Well, I'm so glad we're not there yet, though. So give me the update on on the ranchers. This is a big problem about watering cattle, pear growers, so they can water crops there. Give me an update. Are people still getting water? Are there people not getting water? Where are we? How does this stand?

C (39:11)

So the town of Potter Valley, which is a tiny little mountain town, that's where I grew up. That's where my family's from, that town is still experiencing water cuts for green let these water cuts at the request of the power company PG&E that owns the dams that are slated for removal. So these water cuts are preliminary, but they're kind of a foreshadowing of what we're going to expect in the future when we have a dry valley, when these dams are gone, we won't have water anymore. And Otter Valley is kind of the canary in the coal mine. We're just the first little town that is feeling these effects. But folks all the way down to Bodega Bay, if you know Northern California, so all the way to Marin county, will lose a vital water source. So this is a very dire issue. It's existential, and I feel like my little hometown is in the bullseye. We're the first ones raising the warning, but our urban neighbors to the south, all of our neighbors need to know what's coming for us if these dams are removed. So the water cuts are only for Potter Valley right now, but they're for all of us.

B (40:10)

All right, so we say water cuts. What does that mean? Do you turn on your sink and there's no water? You can't take a shower?

C (40:18)

This is really impacting the farmers and ranchers. Potter Valley irrigation district lost the water that is promised to them to provide these agricultural clients with every single year. And this happened two months before harvest. But Potter Valley is unique because most of our domestic wells rely on groundwater recharge from irrigation for cattle, for, you know, hay. There's a lot of hay in the valley. There's pear trees, like you said, there's some grapes. This is just an agricultural town. That's all it's ever really been in its history. So without that water, not only are we losing our most vital central, you know, economic industry, we're also losing water to our homes. So that'll come down the road as we lose our groundwater recharge. Right now, folks who like we shared a video of a gentleman who was watering his pear trees and he lost his water right before harvest. These are 110 year old trees that will die within a year if they don't get water his great grandfather planted. And he's just one of many.

B (41:18)

You've got financial impact, you've got emotional impact, you've got the impact on what this means for generations to come in this valley. But I'll ask you, so you come on the program the other day, it was tough to get some media attention. I know before then you see this tweet from the Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke Rollins. What goes through your mind when you read that specifically, by the way, quoting.

C (41:41)

You blew me away. I'm just a little independent journalist from a very small town. So that was incredible that she's paying attention to us and it's not about me. It's emblematic of how she has been as an ag Secretary since her confirmation in February. I've noticed that she's really taken an interest in these issues that impact real farmers, real ranchers, small family farms and ranches in this country. She will step in. She's done that time and again. So it was just very encouraging for our community. We were all so excited. Huge thanks to you for spotlighting this. The folks at America First Policy Institute, Tate Bennett. I heard her on your LA radio show the other day. She has been amazing connecting us. So there are some really good people in D.C. helping our little farm town out and I think that speaks volumes.

B (42:30)

Well, this is what the MAGA movement's all about. We try to take care of each other. And if you can real quick, I know we don't want to give away too much, but the wheels are turning, right? You're getting a little more action than you got before. Is that safe to say? Without giving away too much, Keely, I Think so.

C (42:48)

You know, I think that there's our last hope is the federal government. As you know, Grant, we're not going to get a lot of help from grabbing Newsom or Sacramento. I think they're the ones who are behind this, frankly. I think they want this for their own ideological purposes. They believe in fish over people. They have truly an anti human agenda. And so I don't think we're going to get any help from our Congressman Jared Huffman. I don't think we're going to get any help from our Governor Gavin Newsom, who has said he's proud of these damn removals because they, you know, they make him look like a green governor as he heads into 2028. Clearly he's ambitious.

B (43:24)

My goal on this is this will backfire on Gavin Newsom once they see how badly people are affected. I don't care whether Democrat or Republican. Everybody loves farmers and ranchers. This will backfire. I'm hoping not to give Newsom a pass, but maybe this was driven by somebody in his office. You know, he takes a lot of money from Pacific Gas and Electric. If he has his eyes open to what's going on here, maybe he changes course only because he wants to run for president, but that's a wish because certainly history has not shown him to make those kind of changes. Kelly Covello, thank you. You keep up the good work and please keep us posted on this. Anything we can do to help you, we're happy to do it.

C (44:06)

A (45:13)

Next.

B (45:23)

Well, folks, I'll tell you what. There's nothing more important than election integrity, and it's going to take all of us to secure our elections. I want to bring in now AMAC action Senior Vice President Andy Mangione back to the program. Andy, it's great to have you on amac, I'm sure taking an active role in this, right?

A (45:40)

Absolutely. Grant. Our members are, are very, very especially interested in election integrity. And when we call upon them to volunteer to work elections, they show up in droves. So we're very proud of how engaged the membership is in election integrity. All right.

B (45:55)

You know, President Trump had signed an executive order trying to crack down and make sure we have safe and secure elections. Everything the left did to us during COVID and trying to hold Make America Great Again conservatives from getting to the polls. And you have Governor Pritzker in Illinois claiming this watch. The other aims are that he'd like.

A (46:15)

To stop the elections in 2026 or.

B (46:18)

Frankly take control of those elections. He'll just claim that there's some problem with an election, and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control if in fact, he's allowed to do this. All right, Pritzker is not talking about Zelensky in Ukraine. That's the Zelensky model. He's talking about President Trump. President Trump is going to use the National Guard to take over election. I mean, it's absolutely ridiculousness, Andy.

A (46:45)

It's nonsense. The president just wants free and fair elections for everybody. People have to realize the president can only influence federal elections. That's all they can do. The vast majority of elections are administered by the state. Each state is different. They have their own rules. They have their own regulations. They are 50 separate entities that administer the majority of our elections. President Trump just wants to make sure that. That it's easier for people to vote and harder for the bad guys to cheat.

B (47:11)

You know, you raise a good point because so many elections are so important, all the way down to school boards, maybe some of the most important elections there are out there. A lot of times there's low turnout. If there's low turnout, I imagine can be just as hard to get people to watch the polls for cheating. That's where AMEC comes in. And I guess your call for volunteers for not just when we're voting for president or a member of Congress. Congress, but for every election.

A (47:36)

Absolutely right. We've got a gubernatorial election that's all set to go in Virginia. We'll be launching soon a request for our members in Virginia to volunteer for those elections. The last time there was a gubernatorial off year election, our members showed up in droves. We had almost 800 show up to work the elections either as a poll worker or an election observer. We know we can count on them. When during crunch time.

B (47:59)

How important is it you get as many people as possible, Andy?

A (48:04)

Well, the more eyes we have on the election, the more people can report. And it's as simple as that. There are always, always openings for people to work the elections. As I mentioned before, each jurisdiction is different and they're called different things like election judges or poll workers, et cetera. But the bottom line is it is imperative that we have as many sets of conservative eyes on our elections to make sure that they're administered effectively and most importantly, fairly.

B (48:31)

Yeah, absolutely. Well, you guys are doing great work over at AMAC Action and of course I love the entire organization. Amac. I'm a member. Let me tell people, Andy, how to join the fight and really save America is what we're talking about. Go to AMAC US Grant, and right now you can save 33% on a five year membership for about a dollar a month. You'll get access to major discounts, exclusive resources and the subscription to AMAC magazine. That's AMAC U.S. grant. Go there today. I'm so happy that I did. Please, you should too. All right, President Trump has discovered AI and he's loving it.

A (49:17)

Foreign.

B (49:22)

Welcome back, everyone. So President Trump, he knows a lot about AI. I mean, the guy is literally making America the AI capital of the world. And he's using it. He went after Adam Schiff. Anyone who stands up to the President, anyone who criticized the president, anyone who says anything adverse the President's interests gets the full weight of the federal government.

A (49:43)

Brought down on them.

B (49:46)

That, of course, is old pencil neck shift. So you're thinking, who else could he go after? Well, how about Gavin Newscom?

A (49:55)

I wasn't exaggerating when I said that I received in the mail a Trump 2028 hat from one of his biggest supporters. These guys are not screwing around.

B (50:07)

Where the Trump 2028 hat? We would all be lucky if President Trump ran 2020. I'm here to tell you folks, he's not running in 2028. I wish he was. I wish he could. He's not running and I know that for a fact. Last one though. Donald Trump pole vaults over a new cracker Barrel logo. You cannot beat this stuff. I'll tell you what, just don't go with AI in this program. Just let me come in and do it myself. No computers. That means I'd be out of a job and I'd hate that. Stitchfield's army rolls. We'll see you tomorrow night, folks. Thanks for watching.
