Morning. Im jillian mele. Good to see you, sir. Good morning. I salute you with a mug. Glad to be with you. I dont have a mug to salute you. But i still salute you. This is fun. It is. I miss the couch but this will be fun. Im here. I have my mug for you. How are things in utah, jason . Theyre good, theyre good. Its a bit early. Ive got to tell you, im excited about whats happening. Weve got a lot of good people coming up today. Weve got kaley mac makananay, senator tim scott, texas torn general ken packston attorney general, ken paxton, and herman cane. He can talk about the economy, he can talk about politics. Hes got it all. Its going to be a good show. The conversation has shifted a little since i last saw you. Were talking about a number of states that are starting to loosen restrictions, that are starting to open for business. We saw that in georgia this week. The conversation is moving forward this morning. Very much so. Were looking into the month of may where a lot of people h
Sean do you believe america is in a postconstitutional period and that there is this was anticipated by our framers in 1787 and there is a mechanism created that would allow amendments to begin in the states . Im not explaining it as well as you. I think we need to stop fooling ourselves ive read other books, you look at the government today its not a representative repub lichblgt youve got a massive bureaucracy pushing out thousands of laws. You look at the Supreme Court jun one justice issues these breath taking laws that have affect on the entirety of vote soet. You have the president of the United States brazenly rewriting laws and saying if congress doesnt act, he will act. Then have you congress writing massive laws under the cover of dark issuing them quickly on matters they dont have right to legislate about and conferring enormous authority delegating lawmaker authorities to executive branch. Its not really a federal republic. And for 100 years Progressive Movement have been c
Brothers funding the conservative movement. A system that allowed them to pour unprecedented money into politics, drowning out democracy in america in the process. The Supreme Court has included money with speech, the more money, more speech, more influence on democracy. What kind of a system is that . Its wrong. Every american should have the same ability for the political system. In the speech, reid said he would bring a constitutional amendment to allow congress to regulate money in conference, giving them enormous influence over elections. I understand the democrats are proposing something thats no small thing. Not something any of us should take lightly. The flood of special interest money into our american democracy is one of the glaring threats the system of government has ever faced. Harry reid and Mitch Mcconnell only too happy to fight the same war. If theres a single lone principle mcconnell stands for and has through his career, the principle of unfettered money allowed to
There have been a lot of concern that the Iraqi Air Force is not up to it. This could be a trigger that draws us back deeply into a conflict in the middle east that we have largely extracted ourselves from. Military action would not include combat boots on the ground. To go in and think well provide a tilting point opportunity is exactly how a slippery slope works. Right now in the northern iraqi town of sinjar there are tens of thousands refugees as much as 40,000 known as yaziti trapped on a mountaintop, they are without food and without water. 40 children have already died. The the reason they are stranded on this mountain, because waiting at the bottom of it are fighters from the Islamic State of iraq and syria, isis who have vowed to kill them or force them to denounce their religion. These tens of thousands of men, women and children have been trapped for several days. Just hours ago, officials said president obama is, quote, seriously considering air strikes or air drops of food
Were talking about 200 pieces of explosives falling on targets inside syria. And today we learned some of what they took out. Fired from the uss philippine c. Now the intended target was the Communications Array on the roof of the building. Detonated as air bursts with the effects focusing on the Communications Array. The flight of the f22s delivered gpsguided munitions, precision munitions targeting, again, only the right side of the building. You can see on the right hand side the aftershock. This was a residential area that had been used for training site and logistics site for isil fighters. These were the isis targets. But we now know a separate set of air strikes also took place aimed at eliminating a terror cell apparently on the verge of executing an attack. President obama getting to speak at the global the clinton global initiative. But earlier, he spoke about the threat of this group. Last night, we also took strikes to disrupt plotting against the United States and our alli
