Remarkable speed of the Trump administration.

0:00 Speaker 1 Sunday morning, what’s going on in the world? Well, what is today is the former Speaker Kevin McCarthy and to find out what is going on, and he has his ears close to the ground and he knows. Kevin, give the American people an update. Where do you want to start this morning?

0:20 Speaker 2 Oh, John, the thing I’d start with. We’re just a little over a month of the president being sworn in, and we look at the pace that he’s able to go. What a difference in a new president does it make the country? I mean, if you look at the action we’re getting the border secure, that actually means less than

0:39 and all coming across the border means upholding the law. I think people feel a little difference there or watching what he’s going through Doge. I mean, the one thing everybody’s always talking about. We pay such high taxes. We’ve got a deficit that really every great society has collapsed.

1:00 They’ve overextended themselves. We want to be able to protect and provide for the American public, but we don’t want to waste our money. And we look at what the USAID was doing. We look at even our own entities not keeping good records. How can we have somebody two hundred years old are older than our country. Even on

1:21 some of them, I think they’re up to three hundred years old. On Social Security possible total Yeah, that’s either total fraud or they totally have good records. But what is the answer. And for this president is going in and said, just give me the answers, Just give me the facts, and we’re able to look at stuff and

1:41 in doing so, government will become more accountable, more efficient, and more effective. And that is really what I think the American people are looking at. And it seems almost that every day President Trump keeps another one of his promises.

1:56 And I mean that’s that is something new for Washington, but pretty exciting i think for the American public that is.

2:08 Speaker 1 I’ll tell you, people were so excited. I was down at the couple of weeks ago the J. P. Morgan conference in Miami. They had the two hundred of the best customers from the whole world, and everybody was so excited that that that finally that we’re on the right road.

2:32 Speaker 2 Yep, that America is back. We’re on the path. We’re going to do what we said we would do. Now, I will tell you, I got to give a shout out to John Thune in the US Senate. They have done an extraordinary job confirming that the president’s Trump’s desire to run these agencies. And I think I was reading

2:55 some statistics where this is like the fastest and modern history for confirmation. Well, at the same time, they were able to pass this week for budget reconciliation. I mean, they are really doing a very good job right now, and I’m very impressed with that new leadership and what they’ve been able to accomplish so far. And you look

3:17 this week alone, they got a new FBI director in Cash Fattel, You’ve got Howard Ludnik, we got small Business with Kelly. I mean, the president has really just been moving at a pace we haven’t seen in quite some time.

3:35 Speaker 1 Absolutely, and so the country’s feeling good of borders. I talked to the union president of the Borders, Guys Perez, and you know, the union presidents have no abs to line. They’re going to tell you the truth and they’re not going to get fired. And he feels good about what’s going on too. We’re all bord a war is well,

4:03 we’re not getting invented anymore.

4:06 Speaker 2 Now it’s dropped ninety eight percent. And if you look around the world. The other thing that we really haven’t talked about the numbers from the day the president was President Trump was elected and having a popular vote has really made a real difference. But you look, it’s almost unifying the number of jobs that are trying to come

4:25 back to America by the President making his policy. That’s been very good. I’ve talked to a number of CEOs and I’ve talked to other leaders in other countries. They’re wanting to be back with America, which is a new difference.

4:40 And look, the president’s working hard to bring peace around the world too. That means fewer people are dying in war. That’s a positive.

4:48 Speaker 1 And now the world, the president has taken command of the world. I mean, you’ve got some people love him, some people a little bit annoyed at him, our neighbors in Canada a little bit annoyed. And Ukraine, I don’t know what’s happening there, they’re a little annoyed. But at the end of the day, at the end of the day,

5:12 there’s true leadership going on.

5:15 Speaker 2 Yeah, Look, when you make decisions, you’re going to make people annoyed. Ordered Margaret Thatcher or was it Winston Churchill said, if you have some enemies, good, that means you met you did something in life, right. But the thing that President Trump does, it’s about respect for America. Look, we could have friends, but you shouldn’t take advantage of America.

5:35 That’s all they’re talking about in Canada. You know, let’s have a fair trade that the process works, and also around the world with everybody else. And if you’re allowing fitanel to come across our borders, that’s killing Americans. And there’s not one family in America that somehow doesn’t know somebody that’s been affected by that. And he’s just trying

5:57 to protect Americans. Look, he’s TechEd our border early on, from the very first days, and as he progresses, Yeah, you know what, some people are going to be annoyed. But some of those people who are going to be annoyed have been taking advantage of America and he’s not going to allow it anymore.

6:14 Speaker 1 Well, that’s a wonderful news. And the next thing that I live in New York City, Kevin, and we’re trying to make.

6:24 Speaker 2 You should be ship. You should be happy with what he did this week getting rid of that extra fee. If you want to drive in New York.

6:35 Speaker 1 He got rid of congestion pricing, as you promised, and he sent in Tom Homan to get rid of the criminals. And you know, Kevin, I don’t understand why the Democrats are opposed to getting rid of the criminals. I don’t understand it.

6:51 Speaker 2 No when you need some of these stories, and Tom has just done such a tremendous job. But some of these criminals raping young children, and they knew it, and they allowed her to stay in the country.

7:05 Speaker 1 I mean, it’s unheard.

7:07 Speaker 2 Of the things. I mean, everybody wants to live in a safe community. I don’t care if you’re in New York, California. I don’t care if you’re in the wealthiest neighborhood of the poorest neighborhood. Your children need to be safe going to school and everywhere else. And there is no place criminals, if they came from another country or if they’re Americans themselves,

7:24 should be walking those streets.

7:27 Speaker 1 I agree one hundred percent. It was there a minute left. What else would you like to tell the amazing people.

7:34 Speaker 2 Well, I think this is just kind of the first month under his belt. I think it’s only going to get stronger as we go. And it’s nice to be able to see the transparency though, which is so fundamentally different from the last administration. You and I would talk, John, and you’d never know when the president was ever going

7:51 to do a press conference or take questions. This president does every single day and takes whatever question people want to hear. So, you know what, something we are going to get upset. Some things may not just go perfect.

8:03 But the one thing about this president transparency, and if they make the mistake, they’ll correct it.

8:08 Speaker 1 And leadership we certainly have leadership.

8:11 Speaker 2 Now, real leadership.

8:12 Speaker 1 Yes, well, Kevin McCarthy, former Speaker of our House, and hope you come back in a big, big, big way again with our country. And thank you so much for talking to the American people on the Sunday morning. And God bless you and God bless America.

8:30 Speaker 2 All right, Always great to talk to you, boy. Thank you, thank you,
