  Speaker 1: Forget about Hail to the Chief, forget about playing it
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: every single time he enters a room. This song from
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Santana should be playing. It's called Winning, Ladies and Gentlemen,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump, That's how he should come into the room.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: That's how I said, Man, what a great three weeks
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: it's been. My buddy Tom del Bacaro is standing by
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: right here right now, and I'm pretty sure he's live
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: from California. If I'm not say you're back in you're
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: back in the Sunshine State, Arch, that's Florida. You're back
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: in California, aren't you.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: I'm back in the crazy state of California. I am
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: thank you for pourining.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: That out well, because I mean, that's that's kind of
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: where you made your major bones, as they say, out
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: there with the California GOP and then going after Boxer seat.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: God bless you for that, and that that's where I
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: first heard about you. So I always associate you with
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: war weather.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: In sunshine forty six degrees really, yeah, it's global warming.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Come on, keep up with the keep up with the news.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, I'm too busy paying attention to all
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: the great things going on in DC. And I know
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: you're watching this stuff too. The the you know, I
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: was very intrigued today. Ohio's JD. Van's vice president JD.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Vance said to be attending a big gathering here on Friday.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Putin wants peace, Zelenski wants peace. And if he does
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: in this meeting with the administration has done with hostages
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: from Venezuela and Russia. I'm looking forward to some good
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: weekend news.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely. I think it'll probably take longer for them
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: to get to that point with regard to the Ukraine war.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: But if you have two willing parties, you have two
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: willing parties, then they do. And so I think that
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: that will be resolved. Remember, we're sending we were sending
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: hundreds of billions there and it and Doge needs to
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: look at where that money went.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Yes, some of that money actually got to Ukraine.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, but not sure. They never provided accounting related
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: to how they used it, even though they were supposed to.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: So in any case, yeah, that's a good thing. We
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: just had literally within the last ten minutes, we had
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: a court order saying that Trump can go forward with
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: his buyout plans for federal workers to downsize the workforce.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Of course, that's a necessary thing to occur as well. So,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: by the way, I want you to know about global warming.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: In California, I have a cherry tree out front that
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: in the olden days when it was wormed out here,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: would always bloom by February fourteenth. And it's not even
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: close to blooming this year.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: No, I want to point that out, beautiful.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: No, it's my point is that it's cold anyway.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: I know. But I'm laughing at you because you're in
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: California and it's cold and the trees not blooming yet,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: and I find a little joy in my heart and
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: just knowing that time, Hey, I.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Flew out a newer class night and I had to
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: dach the wings with all these flame wretches. It was
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: quite the interesting takeoff.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: But yeah, that was probably disconcerting.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's watching them do that. I'm like, oh, okay, yeah,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: So Trump is on a role Hostage is coming home U,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: the Allies coming around to positions, and they're moving on
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: so many fronts, and the Democrats have alive themselves with
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: some pretty bad you know, do you think America is
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: upset that they're cutting spending on things to Peru related
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: to TRANSI issues. I don't think so. And for the
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Democrats are sitting there defending this stuff constantly, and their
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: approval readings as thirty one percent, and I don't know
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: that they're They're doing the same thing over and over again,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: and it's not working.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Well. Even even James Carville is getting it right now, Tom,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: James Carville is taking Democrats to task because that's ridiculous.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Why y'all get with that? That's ridiculous, And he's right,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: it is ridiculous. Pretty good, thank you.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: I would even try that they have.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: They I mean, we're exposing one hundred and fifty year
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: old people getting Social Security checks. Come on, five hundred
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: and sixteen million dollars going into some hole. What is it?
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: The Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation that hasn't existed in
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: thirty five years. We're still sending millions of dollars from taxpayer.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Why why would Democrat, Republican, libertarian, independent, or a person
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: who lives in a coconut tree on an island somewhere
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: have a problem with putting a stop to that.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Well, the problem is that those among the Democrats who
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: remain are the old guards and the and the very
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: to to the far left, and this is their only game.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Government power handing out money is their only games. They
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: don't believe in the private sector. All they know is
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: the public sector. And so their problem is they have
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: an old playbook in a new game and they have
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: no other ideas. And as long as they stay there
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: putting Maxine Waters of the world's out out there speaking
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: in California.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Oh, hang on a second, you just get my stumpach?
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Does that get the pepto? He said? Her name?
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Oh ah, I have about Raskin? Is he any better?
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: How about uh? Uh the Cherokee Indian from uh.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: You know live mis Liz? Yeah, yeah, I did you
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: know what Maxie? Maxie? I I don't usually make fun
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: of people because of their appearance, but she has such
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: a nasty, nasty, nasty personality that her her ugliness just
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: becomes even more overbearing.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: So they they're left in the past and they don't
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: have a new playbook. I wrote about this last last
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: year at Fox. Uh. Their ability to recover is limited
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: because they only have a playbook, that old book, and
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: they they have the old guard there, and so how
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: are they going to make this comeback? Are they? Are
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: they going to bring new faces to the to the front. Well,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: AOC is among the most radical. They're uh, they're the
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: minority leader for them in the House is most radical.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: So they're really in a rock at a heart place.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: And I know that war. I'm sure you're heart.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Yes, it does, it actually does. Well, I'll tell you I.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Was thinking I wasn't sure you had a heart, so
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: I didn't know how to finish that.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: But were Democrats become dangerous is when they go through
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: the same thing Conservatives and Republicans have just gone through
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: a redefinition of themselves, a return to what we should
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: be about. When when somebody stands up and goes, you
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: know what, forget about JFK. Barack Obama wouldn't even recognize
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: the crap that passes the Democratic Party in twenty five.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: It's not this isn't right, this isn't us, this isn't
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: this isn't what our parents were protesting on college campuses about.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: We have strayed way off course and we need to
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: come back. When they have that moment they regroup, they're
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: going to be dangerous because if nothing else, those people
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: can unite like a high full of bees coming after you.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Cutting the grass, you say the word and they all
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: come together and do it. We as Republicans, as conservatives,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: we've had a problem with that forever. So that moment
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: in time that worries me. Unless they come back as
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: the classic constitutional America love and Democrats that used to
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: exist in this country.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't see that happened. I think the risk
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: for Republicans is they don't deliver. So the Democrats are
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: where the Labor Party was the first twenty years of
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: this decade, and the Labor Party came back into power
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: after Tony Blair went out. They came back into power
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: because the Conservatives in England didn't deliver. And so if
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: the Republicans failed to deliver on spending cuts and the
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: economy is just so so that's that's the entree for
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: the Democrats to come back in not because they were
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: they have good ideas, but because voters are so so
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: very impatient when it comes to there where they are
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: right now, because the economy is still hurting for a
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: lot of people. By the way, the Democrats, who suddenly
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: now understand can say the word inflation out loud, are
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: out there blaming Trump for inflation. He got inaugurated January
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: twenty first, and he's responsible for inflation in January. I
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: heardlie I.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Heard this morning. I forget it was something on CNN.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: I forget who the arguers were, but you know, somebody
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: said it was a member of the Congress. In fact, Zach.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: I was asking Zach if he could get the idea.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: We say, what I know is that we my wife
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: and I went to the grocery store the other day
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: and eggs were approaching eight dollars a dozen. You dumbass,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: that was your guy who had one hundred million chickens
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: killed over your worries about the bird flu. It's got
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: nothing to do with Donald Trump. If you're going to criticize,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: at least criticize based on something close to reality.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: But really, well you are demanding.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah I would. I wouldn't mind if it made sense.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: You know, I'll take any argument as long as it
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: at least makes sense.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah. They they got nothing, and they're begin to stay
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: with that now. And they're also outmanned. Right now, they're
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: getting attacked on so many fronts that they they're disorganized
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: because it's like a group of soldiers who are completely
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: surrounded and they're taking attacks from all sides when they
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: don't know what to do. Meanwhile, the Trump administration, no
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: one day is the same as the day before. They're
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: onto something new the day before. Take a BONDI today
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: it's doing the State of New York for violating federal law.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: They're just it's just one thing after another. The Democrats
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: are used to Joe Biden, where something happens once a month.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Bondy's on fire, Holman's on fire, Gabbard is in now.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: I think Kennedy will be approved after a JD gets
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: back in for the vote. It's been a good day.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be more. Every time I talk to you,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: I think I'm Bill Clinton. I want to make you
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: a weekly thing. I really do. We'll have to talk
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: about that. Tom Delacaro, thank you. It is time for
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: me to fly. Thanks for being part of the Power
