1
00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:04.200
Sunday morning. Well, let's go to Pennsylvania. What is today
2
00:00:04.280 --> 00:00:10.320
is Senator David McCormick a common sense Republican and Pennsylvania
3
00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:14.560
is one great state and you even get along with
4
00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:19.920
with with Santa Fetterman. Tell us, Senator, give us an
5
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:21.600
update what's going on in Pennsylvania?
6
00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:26.640
Well, thanks, John, you listen Pennsylvania right now. I couldn't
7
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:29.960
be more optimistic about Pennsylvania's future, and it comes to
8
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:31.960
the moment we're in. I mean, we got all this
9
00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:36.320
radical change with artificial intelligence and the energy boom, and
10
00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:39.560
you know, the bringing back advanced manufacturing that's happened under
11
00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:42.759
President Trump, and Pennsylvania's uniquely positioned, as you know, John,
12
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:46.320
to take advantage of this. We've got incredible energy resources
13
00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:51.159
number two energy producer in America, skilled labor, great universities,
14
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:54.640
lots of water, proximity to the majority of Americans. We're
15
00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:58.119
within five hundred miles of fifty five percent of the population,
16
00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:01.159
and so we're uniquely position to take advantage of this
17
00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:05.159
with energy and AI and the's huge investment coming into Pennsylvania.
18
00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:09.599
Just two weeks ago, along these lines, I hosted a
19
00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:13.519
Defense and Innovation summit in Pennsylvania at the Army War College.
20
00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:17.840
The President came, the cabinet came, Hegsteth came, Chairman Caine came.
21
00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:21.400
John Ratcliffe, the CIA director came. We had the CEOs
22
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:25.519
of every major defense company, the biggest investors in the world.
23
00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:29.680
Jamie Diamond was there, John Gray from Blackstone, all focused
24
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:33.599
on Pennsylvania. Thirteen hundred people came, six hundred companies, John,
25
00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:39.000
most of them Pennsylvania companies, all focused on essentially reindustrializing
26
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:42.719
our defense industry. So this included the CEO of Hanwa.
27
00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:45.159
We're going to go from one ship a year to
28
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:48.400
twenty ships a year in the Philadelphia Shipyard. It included
29
00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:52.280
the big investments were making and next generation combat people
30
00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:55.760
satellites from Lockeed and so the big picture here, John
31
00:01:55.879 --> 00:02:00.239
is we need to radically reform our defense industry. We
32
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:03.200
need to bring in new players, these new technology providers
33
00:02:03.319 --> 00:02:05.799
drones and so forth, and we need to rebuild our
34
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:09.199
industrial base. And Pennsylvania needs to be the point of
35
00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:11.879
the spear for America. We got one hundred and ninety
36
00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:15.080
thousand people today in Pennsylvania that work in the defense industry.
37
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:17.360
And my hope is in five years from now, we'll
38
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:20.080
have twice that, and so it was very exciting. And
39
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:23.080
this is how I'm trying to lead in Pennsylvania. You know,
40
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:25.759
I'm a business guy. I'm a former CEO. We want
41
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:27.360
to bring investment here. And by the way, the thing
42
00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:30.080
I want to end on is that that at that
43
00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:32.719
summit was the president. Of course, it was also the governor,
44
00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:35.919
Governor Shapiro, a Democrat. There was also Senator Fetterman, my
45
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:40.960
good friend, a fellow senator. Winning is a team sport.
46
00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:42.560
You need to have labor there, you need to have
47
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:45.800
the universities. And so we had a great success and
48
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:48.400
as I said, Senator Fetterman has been a big part
49
00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:48.639
of that.
50
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:54.159
Well, you know, I am glad. You know Pennsylvania you
51
00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:58.840
have common sense Democrats and common sense Republicans working well together.
52
00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:01.599
I mean, that's the way the old days was. I
53
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:05.360
don't know what's causing this comeback between in other states,
54
00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:09.919
in Illinois or New York. What's causing the comeback between
55
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:11.280
Democrats and Republicans.
56
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:15.199
Well, I think, I really do think part of this
57
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:18.719
is that the Democratic Marty Party has taken this huge
58
00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:22.319
swing to the to the radical left where it's really
59
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:27.439
embraced policies that are anti military, anti law enforcement, anti Semitism,
60
00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:30.360
anti Americanism, and you see that in some of these
61
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:34.599
candidates that are coming to the forefront. Michigan is a
62
00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:36.919
good example where else Sai just won the primary there.
63
00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:40.240
This is a state like Pennsylvania, it's a purple state,
64
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:44.120
and yet you've got this radical Democrat and that's creating
65
00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:47.360
all sorts of division in the Democratic Party. And ironically, John,
66
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:49.759
the thing that's scary is that you have a lot
67
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:55.680
of mainstream Democrats that are embracing these radical lefty policies.
68
00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:58.759
That's not the case in Pennsylvania, particularly with John Fetterman,
69
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:01.919
and I really respect them. He votes as a Democrat,
70
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:04.439
you know, ninety three or ninety five percent of the time,
71
00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:07.479
So it's not like he's not a Democrat in most
72
00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:10.639
of his policy positions. But he's willing to stand up
73
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:14.039
and call out the crazy that's happening in his party.
74
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:16.600
It's made him unpopular with some of the people in
75
00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:19.279
his party. It's made him very popular with a lot
76
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:21.639
of Pennsylvanians. And so I'm lucky to have a good
77
00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:24.519
partner in Pennsylvania. And when I'm walking through the airport,
78
00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:26.959
you know the thing people come up to me and say,
79
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:30.439
it's not about this summit or that thing I voted on,
80
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:34.160
It's about that relationship with John Fetterman, and I think
81
00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:35.360
people really appreciate it.
82
00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:39.399
Well, thank you, senator, Thank you so much for coming on.
83
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:42.720
Thank you for your common sense. I am glad common
84
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:47.040
sense Democrats and Josh Shapiro he's always had a common sense,
85
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:51.199
and Fetterman has common sense. And Eddie Rendell one of
86
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:54.399
my best friends from the old days. Common sense, common
87
00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:57.959
sense Democrats, common sense Republicans should work always work together.
88
00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:00.000
Thank you for coming on this Sunday morning.
89
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:02.839
Yes, sir John, good to talk to you. Thank you,
1
00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:04.200
Sunday morning. Well, let's go to Pennsylvania. What is today
2
00:00:04.280 --> 00:00:10.320

6
00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:26.640
Well, thanks, John, you listen Pennsylvania right now. I couldn't

00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:29.960
be more optimistic about Pennsylvania's future, and it comes to

10
00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:39.560

The President came, the cabinet came, Hegsteth came, Chairman Caine came.
21
00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:21.400
John Ratcliffe, the CIA director came. We had the CEOs

twenty ships a year in the Philadelphia Shipyard. It included
29
00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:52.280
the big investments were making and next generation combat people
30
00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:55.760
satellites from Lockeed and so the big picture here, John
31
00:01:55.879 --> 00:02:00.239

63
00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:40.240

64
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:44.120

That's not the case in Pennsylvania, particularly with John Fetterman,
