• 0:00
  Speaker 1: All right, joining us. Now, former House Speaker new King
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Rich is with us. How are you sorry?
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: I'm having a ball.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: I think people need to be reminded. You balance the
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: budget five four straight, four straight years. It has not
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: been balanced since. Okay, you had a big fight to
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: get there. Yep, I remember the argument. You're going to
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: reduce the rate of growth of medicare seven percent a
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: year every year for seven years, twice the rate of inflation.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Might do well.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: So far, you're doing great.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Okay. And they said he's cutting, he's cutting, he's cutting,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: You're on cutting. Same thing in this case.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Right. The number one thing for Republicans to remember is that,
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: other than Reagan, who is a former Democrat, and Trump,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: who's a former Democrat, Republicans generally don't communicate very well.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: And we have the argument. I think Mike Johnson's doing
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: a good job, but every Republican should learn the key arguments.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Repeat them at nauseam. Stop reporters, as the Vice President
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: brilliantly the other day, when they're saying falsehoods, just cut
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: them off and say that's false.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Did you see George Stepanopolos, He shuts his mic, then
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: takes a cheap shot and then keeps going and then
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: doesn't let the vice president of our country talk.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Right because they can't because the fact is they are
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: now crazy. What they're doing is nuts. Try. I try
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: to point to people. You have two Democratic leaders in
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: the House and Senate. They live one and a half
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: miles apart. They're fifteen dollars uber visit, Okay, and they
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: live in a city which is about to elect a
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: big government, socialist with weird values. Now that's the world
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: they live in. So they're doing things that in that
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: world sound really cool. And the whole rest of the country,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: which is pretty big, they look like they're nuts.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Well, there's a lot of red in this country. The
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: President mentioned that today.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: More than there used to be a lot more.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Okay, So here we are. I remember I was there
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: the night you became speaker. I was the MC of
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: your event. Was a great honor of my life. Really
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: catapulted me, you know, into a pretty good career and
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: foundationally you had renewing American civilization, and you also taught
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Republicans how to communicate. Donald Trump is out there every
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: day communicating with the American people. We haven't seen that
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: in the last four years. Is it working. Is it effective?
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Well, I think, Look, he's changed the whole culture. I
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: mean the truth is I follow a guy named Seth Keshel,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: who's the best student of voter registration in America. We
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: have gained almost two million new Republicans since Trump was elected.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: They lost about I think we gained three, they lost two.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: It's amazing. So there's a steady slide in our direction.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Because Trump isn't just a political figure. Trump's a cultural figure.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Trump is saying really bold radical things. There are men
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: and women, people should be promoted based on merit, Criminals
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: should be in jail, and innocent citizens should be on
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: the street. I mean there are a number of these
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: radical ideas.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Orders should be secure, yes, right, Taxes should be lower,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: I mean all this thing.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: You know, Americans ought to be treated fairly in the
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: international trade. What he just did yesterday, I thought was
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: close and I watched all day. I thought it was
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: the most amazing thing I think I've ever seen an
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: American president. Do you go to Jerusalem in the morning,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: They're all wearing hats in the Knesset about Trump is
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: the president of peace. Then you fly down to Egypt
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: in the afternoon. You have twenty seven leaders of countries
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: who go through a photo up. Trump stands there, the
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: next one comes up, they chat from it. What people
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: need to realize is he knew every person who's coming up.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: You know, it's remarkable. I remember once you said I
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: am a revolutionary. Yes is back when you were a speaker,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: and people took that like it was shocking to them.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: At the time. You were a very early supporter of
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: President's Trump, big supporter of him winning this election, right,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: And it's amazing. He said something to me before we
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: started the show, and that is as good as you
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: thought he would be. I'll let you finished your so.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: I think he's been at least three times more effective.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Than you ever expected. And you knew he'd be effective, well, I.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Thought I thought he would be remarkable, But this puts him,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: I think, in a league with Washington and Lincoln because
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: it's the totality. I mean, this is a guy who
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: every day is doing six things. I've concluded you'll love this.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: I've concluded it's because he's a Gemini. Geminis are twins.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: One twin is totally focused on today and the other
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: twin is doing strategic planning. And you never know which
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: one's showing up.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: And in the meantime he's redecorating the White House every day. Well,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: I passed the autopen today that he put up from
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Biden's picture.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: It was great. Think about this and this. I give
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Jared Kushner some credit here. In May of nineteen of
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: twenty sixteen, speaking to Apak, Trump outlined a vision of
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: peace in the Middle East twenty sixteen. Nine years later,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: he's developing the reality now. That is a level of
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: strategic discipline and strategic commitment that almost nobody gives him
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: credit for.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: He's so much smarter than the left nose, and he's
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: five steps ahead. I never get to see my adopted brother,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: my big brother. Good to see you, speaker, appreciate it. Hey,
