10
00:00:38.039 --> 00:00:40.880
Well, good afternoon, Bill Martinez. Here we are live. Good
11
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:44.200
to have you with us. Exciting show for you. After
12
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:46.880
being off a couple of weeks, got caught up with
13
00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:49.840
a little bit of the flu bug that was flying
14
00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:54.159
around in my travels to Las Vegas and California. Who said,
15
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:57.200
what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. The flu doesn't
16
00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:01.960
It chases you down in California. But all is well,
17
00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:06.480
and I pray that your well as your well as well.
18
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:08.200
How's that? Huh? Okay? Well?
19
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:10.879
Coming up today? As I said, quite an exciting show.
20
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:14.560
John Hart, the chief executive officer of both in the Books,
21
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:17.159
is back with us to give us an update on
22
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:21.760
all things doze, all things open the books, new revelations,
23
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:26.200
things that we the people have been begging for for
24
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:28.400
a long time, and that is to take on the waste,
25
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:32.120
the fraud, the corruption of our US government. And Donald
26
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:35.680
Trump is being rewarded handsomely. The latest polling showing that
27
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:38.760
his approval rate is probably as high as it's ever been,
28
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:43.280
fifty three percent, probably the highest ever actually. And you
29
00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:46.280
saw the response at the super Bowl, you know, during
30
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:50.439
during the Star Spangled banner, and that was you know,
31
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:54.159
the people cheered him. This is the general response as
32
00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:57.159
opposed to what happened in his first four years with
33
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:02.439
all the negative Russian collusion and resistance that was brought
34
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:05.799
to us by the Democratic Party and what damage they
35
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:08.919
did along with Hillary Clinton, and they seem to have
36
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:10.800
gotten away with it with impunity.
37
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:11.080
Right.
38
00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:15.199
How disappointing is that, but you know that's the way.
39
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:18.120
It is a different error right now, a lot of
40
00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:20.680
positive things that are being done. So looking forward to
41
00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:23.240
talking to John Hart about that. And then also we'll
42
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:25.719
go to Jerusalem in the second half of the show
43
00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:30.479
to talk with the chief executive officer of JNS, Alex
44
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:33.879
Treman Is going to give us an update on the hostages.
45
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:37.240
We saw the release of the hostages and Donald Trump
46
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:40.439
had made the comment that it was in a sense
47
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:45.000
and this is my interpretation, not his verbatim comment, but
48
00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:48.439
it means the same thing, and that is that the
49
00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:52.840
pictures that he saw reminded him of Holocaust victims. These
50
00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:57.319
three latest hostages to be released. I mean, this is
51
00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:04.000
spiking a a response from Israelis to get the hostages
52
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:07.919
out of there. And as we know from our previous reporting,
53
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:13.879
the you know, the internal International Red Cross, I should say,
54
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:18.360
they have been in Israeli jeal at jails to check
55
00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:22.039
on the Palestinians to make sure they're welfare and everything
56
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:25.560
is appropriate, you know from diet you know, go on
57
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:29.280
down the list. This is not what's happening with Hamas.
58
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:33.280
I mean Hamosi terrorists. They're not civil people. They don't
59
00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:37.159
care about the hostages, and that's clear. I mean, we
60
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:40.280
don't even know of the remaining hostages. I think there's
61
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:43.919
over seventy remaining hostages. We don't even know how many
62
00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:47.199
of those are going to be brought back in body bags.
63
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:50.560
And I'm telling you that's a heartbreak. I mean, you
64
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:55.080
saw the response already with just these last three hostages,
65
00:03:55.599 --> 00:04:00.400
and it is upsetting, it's heartbreaking, and there is this
66
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:03.759
increased sense of urgency. And I will say this that
67
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:08.759
the the people of Israel, whether in America or in
68
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:12.159
uh in Israel itself proper, are very supportive of what
69
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:15.759
Donald Trump is doing. So right now, let's bring on
70
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:20.959
John Hart, the chief executive officer of Open the Books. John, Good, afternoon.
71
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:21.959
Good to have you with us, sir.
72
00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:23.240
It's great to be back on.
73
00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:23.879
How are you built?
74
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:26.720
Hey, I'm doing terrific. Thank you so much, you know
75
00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:30.800
for coming on. You know, from day one, I have
76
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:35.040
believed that Elon Musk needed to connect with Open the Books.
77
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:38.279
I mean, you've got records, You've got information that I
78
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:41.680
don't think that a judge could block because it's been
79
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:46.199
long established. So I don't know, I'm a little confused
80
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:48.920
as to why Elon Musk and his team have not
81
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:49.879
connected with you.
82
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:52.680
Well, I think they are using the data that we
83
00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:53.120
have built.
84
00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:56.639
They're they're putting out our you know, reports and different
85
00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:59.519
you know, tweentty things that that we've been sited in.
86
00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:01.600
So I think there's they are using the data and
87
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:03.800
the thing the thing to keep in mind too, is
88
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:06.839
is back back when we create a USA Spending that
89
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:09.160
was almost twenty years ago. So we put all federal
90
00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:12.759
spending online, let people search it through USA Spending. So
91
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:15.920
what I'm merging Doge and Elon Musk to do is
92
00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:18.240
to really create an upgraded version of that, and I
93
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:22.399
would call it America's checkbook. Yes, And what Elon and Doze,
94
00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:25.560
what they've done, this is really exciting. They've they have
95
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:28.639
now have a look at what's called the Treasury payment
96
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:31.319
So the Treasury payment system is kind of like the
97
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:35.160
Holy of Holies for the administrative state. It's where the
98
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:37.920
inner sanctum and it's only the high priests that that
99
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:40.720
get to access the Holy of Holies. So part of
100
00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:44.240
the reason this panic on the left is that you
101
00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:46.920
have people who actually are looking at waste and fraud
102
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:49.720
who have access to the money going out the door.
103
00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:53.079
So there's there's the Wooly Lohman principle, let's follow the money.
104
00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:55.680
So what Elon and Doze have done is they've gone
105
00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:58.040
in and they've actually gained access to this to the system.
106
00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:01.040
And the update now is a federal judge and Obama
107
00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:03.439
or a judge actually blocked them from doing that.
108
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:05.319
And the claim is, well, they don't, they don't.
109
00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:07.879
Have the the authority, they don't have the proper clearances
110
00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:10.639
to look at this que sensitive data. And and I
111
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:12.480
think that's going to get worked out there. They're not
112
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:14.240
going to be permanently barred from that.
113
00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:15.519
But what I what.
114
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:18.000
I'm emerging elon and doge to do is to use
115
00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:21.240
access to that to give the American people the same
116
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:25.319
access they're now enjoying exactly. And the concept is is
117
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:28.319
you know, as you know and your listeners know, is
118
00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:30.839
that the money in the in the treasury payment system,
119
00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:33.720
it doesn't belong to the federal government. It doesn't belong
120
00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:37.680
to the President, it doesn't belong to Congress or any agency.
121
00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:40.120
It belongs to we the people, the people. So that
122
00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:43.040
is our money in the in the treasury payment system.
123
00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:46.160
And so the concept is just just as you know,
124
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:48.319
we ought to have the right to access that, just
125
00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:50.439
as we have the right to access our own personal
126
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:54.800
checking account. So whether you're America, Chase through US wherever
127
00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:57.680
you know, you you have the ability to go in
128
00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:00.279
and and and the difference is if you're if it's
129
00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:03.519
your personal account, you can write checks, but you know,
130
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:05.120
I don't have I don't have the power. I don't
131
00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:07.920
want the power to write checks out of your account,
132
00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:09.439
and I don't want to give you the right to
133
00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:10.360
do that to my account.
134
00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:11.800
That's called redistribution.
135
00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:14.800
Now, when we have the government, we all pay taxes
136
00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:17.959
into that, so we don't get to control individually. That's
137
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:20.519
why we have a representative system of government. But we
138
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:22.399
at least have the right to see, We have the
139
00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:26.600
right to access and understand what is going out under
140
00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:27.319
our authority.
141
00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:28.560
And there is no.
142
00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:32.000
Government other than a government that happens by consent. It's
143
00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:34.360
we have a system of the consent of the government.
144
00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:38.959
So these are basic little principles of democratic governance and
145
00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:40.199
constitutional government.
146
00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:42.199
And so all of the talk about.
147
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:45.480
Oh, it's a constitutional crisis for Elon Musk to have
148
00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:49.519
access quat access to the system there, it really begs
149
00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:51.959
the questions, well, who was in charge before you know,
150
00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:55.360
we're talking about the executive branch having access to the
151
00:07:55.480 --> 00:07:58.639
to the payment system the executive branch controls. So there's
152
00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:01.959
no constitutional problem there. The constitution problem and questions are
153
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:05.480
it is it is true that only Congress has the
154
00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:08.759
authority to appropriate money, but the president has authority too,
155
00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:11.240
he has the authority of the veto pen and there's
156
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:13.959
but there's a big gray area on executive orders. And
157
00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:16.240
the gray area is the result of this one hundred
158
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:20.560
year experiment that the left has mounted called the administrative state,
159
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:24.680
where for a very deliberate effort, we've outsourced authority and
160
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:26.959
power to unelected bureaucrats.
161
00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:29.360
And that's that's really going to be.
162
00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:32.919
That's what the argument and fight that they're forcing, and
163
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:36.080
that's needed to happen for decades. So it's a really exciting,
164
00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:39.120
important moment and I hope they capitalize on it and
165
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:42.600
hope they lock in some of these new transparency tools
166
00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:45.000
that the American people desperately need.
167
00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:48.000
Well exactly, it's what they're asking for, John, John, I
168
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:50.600
was going to ask you, you know what, what arrogance,
169
00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:54.399
what hubris that this administrative state has been able to exercise?
170
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:56.639
And that was my question was going to be when
171
00:08:56.679 --> 00:09:00.440
did this start to happen? And you just said, was
172
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:04.279
you know, ever since the birth of the administrative state?
173
00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:08.039
Yeah, and yeah, it actually happened, happened a hundred years ago.
174
00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:10.720
This was really the dream of of kind of the
175
00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:14.279
Woodrow Wilson first progressives and then you add you had
176
00:09:14.360 --> 00:09:17.720
FDR that really supercharged it, and then the Great Society,
177
00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:20.600
and that's that's the path we've been on. And so
178
00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:23.720
I call that that's the quiet constitutional crisis we've been
179
00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:27.360
living under. Is this is this decline of individual autonomy,
180
00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:31.480
this decline of state power, and this rapid growth of
181
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:35.080
the unelected administrative experts, and the argument that they made
182
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:38.559
one hundred years ago as well, you know, we've advanced
183
00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:40.120
so much in the one hundred and fifty years of
184
00:09:40.120 --> 00:09:40.679
our country.
185
00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:42.679
The society is too complicated.
186
00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:45.960
We need to really create this class of experts who
187
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:49.000
will help us save us from ourselves and manage and
188
00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:51.799
manage this new complex life we have in nineteen ten
189
00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:55.519
and nineteen twenty, and that's that was really the precursor
190
00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:59.799
to to this massive expansion of federal government power that
191
00:09:59.840 --> 00:10:03.159
they and turned into creating the part of education in
192
00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:08.039
nineteen eighty, Great Society before that, and a New Deal.
193
00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:11.000
And I'm not advocating we get rid of every safety
194
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:13.159
net program. I think we need to perform them, but
195
00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:16.919
we've gone so far that direction that the reason people
196
00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:20.759
are panicking is finally someone actually is moving it back
197
00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:22.240
in a dramatic way.
198
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:22.919
The other direction.
199
00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:25.519
We've you know, we as we've talked about before, we've
200
00:10:25.639 --> 00:10:29.440
had some successes with limiting, getting rid of your marks
201
00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:32.879
for a decade, you know, pausing cutting spending for the
202
00:10:32.919 --> 00:10:35.000
first time since the Korean War back in twenty twelve,
203
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:38.600
twenty thirteen, during the Coburn Tea Party era. Yes, but
204
00:10:38.679 --> 00:10:40.639
Elon is going to take this to a whole new level,
205
00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:43.120
which is very very exciting along over due.
206
00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:47.639
Well, we're really lifting the hood in this mechanical beast that,
207
00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:50.159
as you say, you go from you know, the early
208
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:53.679
nineteen hundreds and fast forward to twenty twenty five, and
209
00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:58.399
the elites that you know, supposedly knew better than the
210
00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:03.519
cumulative consciousness of three hundred million people. What they've done.
211
00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:07.039
They've run us into the ditch. And on top of that,
212
00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:11.679
the monies that they have signed have misrepresented the hearts
213
00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:14.639
of the American people, John, I mean, the American people
214
00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:16.600
wanted to go why do.
215
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:18.279
These nations hate us so much?
216
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:22.279
And little did they know because they're thinking, hey, you know,
217
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:24.639
I look at my tax bill. I see all this
218
00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:30.000
money going out to support these nations and they hate us. Well,
219
00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:33.200
what they don't realize is that we have these US
220
00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:38.480
AID programs that are promoting color revolutions and disrupting their
221
00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:42.519
traditional family life and religious life in their countries. You know,
222
00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:44.799
thank you very much the USA, Right.
223
00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:46.720
Yeah, I mean what we've been funding.
224
00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:50.960
We've been funding everything for you know, transgender shows, operas
225
00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:51.600
in Ireland.
226
00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:53.360
We've done with drag shows at Ecuador.
227
00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:56.600
So there, you know, DEI overseas, there's been a litany
228
00:11:56.799 --> 00:12:00.799
of of a ridiculous program so that we fund and
229
00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:02.720
and and let's let's kind of unwind that because when
230
00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:03.840
you when you go back to.
231
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:07.720
When you go back to kind of the post war era.
232
00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:10.799
So my one of the interesting things about my family
233
00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:12.519
background is my great uncle flew.
234
00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:13.360
In the Berlin air left.
235
00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:16.919
Oh and that was a that was a in a
236
00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:18.600
sense you could say that was foreign eight, but it
237
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:20.440
was it was for a very specific purpose.
238
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:21.559
Bye bye.
239
00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:24.240
We weren't doing that for charity. We were doough to
240
00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:27.559
help our own national security. We didn't want the Soviet Union,
241
00:12:27.639 --> 00:12:29.200
we didn't want to start World War three. So what
242
00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:30.879
they did is they they drew a line on the
243
00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:33.440
stand and said no, we're going to provide support for
