Speaker 1 Sunday morning. So many things are happening.

Speaker 2 One of the most knowledgeable people in the world, the former Speaker of the House of Representatives.

Speaker 1 We have with us new Gingligh and.

Speaker 2 Sunday morning, we’re drinking that coffee. What do you want to tell Americans what’s going on in the world.

Speaker 3 Well, I think one of the most fascinating things this weekend is President Trump and Millennia going to Paris for the opening of Notre Dame after that terrible fire, and the fact he’s there, well, President McCrone is in very weakened condition and because of political rebellion against him in the Parliament, and I think that it’s very telling that

here you have President Trump, not yet sworn in, but in a way acting as a presumptive president, visiting with the Prime Minister of Canada who comes down for Thanksgiving to argo of calling with the Mexican print. And now here he is traveling to Europe to see the French president.

And what I think is a great cultural moment. I mean, this is the center of Christendom for many people, in one of those places that is historically so important. So I just need to tell you something about the activist nature of a Trump presidency, and of course he preceded it by going to a Fox and Friends big event

and then taping NBC’s Sunday Morning Show, which is showing. As you and I are talking, we’ve had on an NBC while he’s in France. You know, he’s just the energy level he has is amazing, and he’s gradually filling out of offices. People need to remember that. Well, all the coverage tends to be about cabinet officers, he actually

has four thousand, four hundred positions that he’s filling and me just imagine what those meetings are like. So, in fact, I was glad that the day to see him go golf a little bit because he needed the break just to get his head clear. But I think it’s a good time for America. I tell all of my friends,

imagine that the other team had won. And if you remember watching Kamala Harris other day after she came back from Hawaii and what may have been the most disastrous video ever released by a presidential candidate, four years of her would have been a nightmare, I think. So I feel very good this Sunday, looking forward to Christmas, having

had a great Thanksgiving and being very thankful that America is back on the right track.

Speaker 2 I note, I tell all my European friends, not only America has been saved and we’re going to turn it around, because so many things are happening, that the free world is going to stay free. And the Europeans should appreciate of Donald Trump because he’s the one that has the courage to make things, you know, to take the the

what the evil empire, whether it’s Russia, China and Iran, and bring them under control. I still can’t believe there was no control over these people, especially with the Red Sea and the sus Canal.

Speaker 3 Well, look, you’ve got a remarkably incompetent and weak Biden administration, and I think that they had no idea how the real world works. I always tell my friends that the problem with liberals like Biden is that they saw The Lion King and thought it was a documentary, and they think they live in the world where lions and zebras

sing and dance together. And I keep trying to tell them, you know, in the real world lions and they go, no, no, didn’t you see the movie? And so I think they just have no ability to deal with evil and no ability to take on hostile, violent people. You see that with crime here at home, you see it how they

operate overseas. But great, entrepreneur, you’ve been amazingly creative. You’ve created an enormous number of jobs. You’ve lowered prices, give people want choices in your stores. I am very impressed, and I’ve written about this a little bit. I’m very impressed with how many entrepreneurs Trump is putting into the government.

I mean people, not bureaucratic, big corporation guys, but people who’ve built their own industry or built their own company, who know how to get things done. And I just noticed as a choice, for example, for NASA is somebody who is I think going to be just remarkable because he’s a self starting billionaire who actually became the first

civilian astronaut. So he’s going to bring a drive and an energy to NASA that we haven’t seen since the Apollo program to go to the Moon. But I’m curious about your thought of me. When you think about entrepreneurs, you know, it seems to me that they’re different, that they have a drive to get things done, and bringing

a whole bunch of into the government. I think could be a very powerful, very effective thing.

Speaker 2 Well, the President Biden appointed people that had really didn’t have the ability versus I mean Majorca on the border, I mean our borders were poorous. We had criminals coming in, we had we had murderers coming in. Now what I said there The other day I was on Fox and Maria Bartomo show, I said, who pressed these buttons to

allow the Secretary of Homeland Security to allow those things to happen. We have to find out the rule of law, who allowed this to happen, Who allowed it the Chinese Mexican gangs to bring in Fetnoil and kill one hundred thousand Americans. We have to get to the bottom of it.

Speaker 3 Newton, I think that’s right. I think one of the first jobs of the new majority is going to be to bring things out in the open. I mean, what was Fauci saying in his private memos and his private meetings, because it was clearly very different from what he was saying in public. And I think whether it’s the COVID disaster,

or the border disaster, or the Afghanistan disaster, disaster.

Speaker 2 Disasters, disasters all over the place, whether it’s a January sixth disaster. I mean, there’s stuff that the American people still don’t know the truth. And if you listen to the tapes that Nancy Pelosi did with her daughter and her chief of staff, she didn’t know some of the things were happening around her. So who knew, who knew

who was pushing those buttons?

Speaker 3 Not trying well. And we just found out that John Solomon just reported that apparently the Democrats pressured the Capitol Police to basically make a hero out of the guy who shot the woman who was an Air Force veteran, who the only person who died on January sixth was a woman citizen who served in the Air Force, and

she’s killed by a policeman and that’s the one truly violent act of that day, and that policeman got promoted and rewarded, and you know, and then now turns out that’s because the Democrats pressured the police to protect this guy and make him a hero even though he killed an innocent American.

Speaker 2 And I’m sure, I’m not sure, I don’t maybe President Biden didn’t know himself who the characters and I’m going to use the word the characters around him were pressing the button and since they worked at the White House or worked in the prestigious position. Everybody else followed the orders as if the President was giving him.

Speaker 3 I think that’s partially true because Biden so clearly has been out of it that you know, he wasn’tdoing a lot. But I also think in the end, remember, he picked these people, and he put some of the weirdest people.

I remember the guy who was working for the Nuclear Security Office who ended up being arrested for stilling women’s luggage at airports. I mean, that’s just weird. And Biden had a propensity to appoint weird people of government. He had a Secretary of Transportation. His greatest claim to fame was he rode a bicycle. Uh. I mean just think,

if you just think about that for an you have some idea of why the Biden administration didn’t succeed.

Speaker 2 And I you know, when you talk about our friend Charlie Guys Gush Burto’s book, Go Woke, Go Broke, I said to my liberal friends at Dinity other night.

Speaker 1 You know what I said to him, would you like to be.

Speaker 2 Flying on an airplane that I picked a woke pilot to fly it because he’s woke and he fit the characteristics versus a qualified pilot. I mean, that’s the ultimate decision one has to make.

Speaker 3 You know, I wrote a piece I do newsletters at Benglish three sixty, and I wrote one the other day. I was really inspired by Trump going to the Ultimate Fighting Championship in Medicine’s Great Garden, because it hit me that Trump, actually there’s a huge gap among people who watch sports. If you watch sports, you were for Donald

Trump because sports have winners and losers. Sports requires real work and real training. Sports you actually value and praise the people who are competent. That’s the exact opposite of wocism. And so it just struck me that, you know, I mean, if your team went out and said, you know, we’re going to play our third string quarterback this week because

he really feels bad, he feels neglected, he’s not very good. They may cost us the game, but we really don’t want him to feel bad. Now you think the coach was crazy, These.

Speaker 1 Sixty people in the audience would.

Speaker 3 Kill him, that’s right. And so you know, in sports, you really do have a meritocracy of talent, effort, will uh And it’s the opposite of wocism and That’s why I think the gap an interesting way. The gap may be as much defined by your relationship. And it’s not just sports, but it’s ballet, or it’s being a great musician.

I mean, a philharmonic orchestra doesn’t have a violinist because they want them to feel good. They have a violinist who actually can play the violin. And and so there’s a there’s a world of merit, hard work, and achievement. Uh.

And that world is anethetical to the Kamala Harris Joe Biden Democratic Party world of taking care of people who don’t do anything to take care of themselves.

Speaker 2 Greenwich, have a great Sunday morning. I have a great Christmas coming soon and a great happy New Year, and may may be good for great for all the American people. And God bless America, God bless our European friends, and you know, and I thank God for helping America stay America.

Speaker 3 That’s exactly listen. I look forward to talking in the future. And you have a great New Year’s you too.
