00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 2: got to call John and his team, and they did,

29
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,800

Speaker 2: dot com. Today RFK Junior has gone to war with

60
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 2: Duncan Donuts fast Eddy. Now I literallyate this morning. I'm

61
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 2: not advertising. I just I stopped to pick up some

62
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 2: Duncan and it's funny. I didn't actually know this story.

63
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 2: I was too busy paying attention to the war yesterday.

64
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 2: I did not realize that up in Massachusetts they are

65
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 2: wound up fit to be tied because they claim RFK

66
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 2: Junior went to war with Dunkin Donuts. I happened to

67
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 2: enjoy a Duncan cup of coffee. I guess they call

68
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 2: themselves Duncan now. They've dropped the donuts to be marketing specific.

69
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 2: Dunkin's Maha. Yeah, I'm drumping the donuts is Maha, so

70
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 2: they yeah, they're just Duncan now. And as I was

71
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 2: driving through today to pick up the cup of coffee,

72
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,519
Speaker 2: this literally crossed my mind as I said I would

73
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 2: like a large black coffee, to which the guy said

74
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 2: hot question mark, And I thought, of course hot? Why

75
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 2: not hot? When would it not be hot? And then

76
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 2: I realized, as I looked at the panoply excuse me

77
00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 2: of drink options on the menu at Duncan, they of

78
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 2: taken coffee and re engineered coffee coffee flavored, daffinated flavored

79
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 2: drinks to such a degree it looks like the lab

80
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 2: and you have your choice of any number of various

81
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 2: lab experiment, drinks just loaded up with ice or not,

82
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 2: or sugar or not, or whip or not. And I

83
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 2: was like, well, naturally, the guy's asking me hot black

84
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 2: because they're not used to a guy just coming through

85
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 2: and saying can I just have a large, hot black

86
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 2: cup of coffee? They like, that's weird to them now.

87
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 5: Ed, Oh my gosh, yeah, oh it's like, what's the

88
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,119
Speaker 5: fountain drink of soda that made like I think doctor

89
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 5: Pepper famous.

90
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what it's like with coffee now. It's unbelievable.

91
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 2: It's they look at you strangely if you say give

92
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 2: me a black cup of coffee. They don't think you're

93
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 2: telling the truth. Like they're waiting for you to add

94
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 2: something squirrely, because they have a menu full of options

95
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 2: to get squirrely now, and most of it's sugar, right,

96
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 2: that's RFK Junior's point. Yes, yes, it is these drinks

97
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 2: they're making at I know this maybe is not news

98
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 2: to a lot of folks, But like, my wife loves

99
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 2: she she's a Starbucks. In fact, I mean she'll tell

100
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 2: you she loves Starbucks too much. What I loved in Bourbon,

101
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 2: she liked in a Starbucks drink, and well, she didn't

102
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 2: put bourbon in the Starbucks drink, but you get it.

103
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 2: So she would go through and grab a drink regularly

104
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 2: that she really should not have been drinking. And ultimately

105
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 2: she concluded she had to stop drinking not only because

106
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 2: it was a fortune but just loaded up with sugar

107
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 2: and she never really stopped to consider it before. And

108
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 2: then she starts looking at the ingredients of these drinks

109
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 2: and she's like, wow, we got to peel back on that.

110
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 2: That's what RFK Junior is taking issue with. And he said,

111
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 2: very specifically, we're going to ask Duncan Donuts and Starbucks

112
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 2: quote show us the safety data that show it's okay

113
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 2: for a teenage girl to drink an iced coffee with

114
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifteen grams of sugar in it. Kennedy said,

115
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 2: it is true. I will say, watching my own teenage daughter,

116
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 2: a junior in high school, it is true that they

117
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 2: go for the most loaded up caffeinated sugary beverages at

118
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 2: six and seven dollars a pop they can get their

119
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 2: hands on. That is a deal. And I don't know.

120
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 2: My question is do you think RFK Junior. For years,

121
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,359
Speaker 2: we've talked about Michelle Obama trying to correct the school

122
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 2: lunch program. RFK Junior is going at the private sector

123
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 2: and he's calling out dunka and Starbucks and saying, we

124
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 2: got to protect the kids. We can't hold hand them

125
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 2: these caffeinated sugar bombs. It's a disaster for the health

126
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 2: of the nation. Agree or disagree, fast Eddie.

127
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 5: I agree it's bad for people. I don't like kids

128
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 5: being hooked on sugar. And yes, like me, coming up

129
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 5: with coffee is much different than the kids today coming

130
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 5: up with coffee if that's what their idea is of

131
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 5: one hundred and fifteen grams of sugar. I don't like

132
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 5: coming at the private sector though. I'm not a fan

133
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 5: of that.

134
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 2: I went to lunch yesterday with a friend and he

135
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 2: said to me as I picked him up to take

136
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 2: him to lunch, I said, where would you like to go?

137
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 2: He said, well, let's go somewhere and this was the

138
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 2: direct quote, let's go somewhere where they serve real food.

139
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 2: And I said, what do you mean. He goes, well,

140
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 2: you're doctor Ashley Lucas, PhD, weight loss I want to

141
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 2: make sure you know we eat well for you. And

142
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 2: I thought that was really interesting. I don't know that

143
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 2: I've ever had a conversation like that with a friend

144
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 2: of mine in my life. And I attribute that largely

145
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 2: to and I'm serious, the Maha era. I'm having a

146
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 2: little fun, but I think people are now consciously thinking

147
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 2: about food consumption in a way they never did. And

148
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 2: I think it is largely driven, not exclusively, not entirely,

149
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 2: but I think it's largely driven by the national conversation.

150
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 2: RFK Junior is forcing us to have for better or worse.

151
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 2: And maybe you call it meddling, like you say in

152
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 2: the private sector or whatever. Leave me alone. I want

153
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 2: to go through fast food and grab fast food. But

154
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 2: RKJ saying, no, fast food's a problem. You gotta start

155
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 2: eating real food. There are no pots and pans in

156
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 2: your kitchen in the fast food joint. You need to start.

157
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,559
Speaker 2: I want to see pots and pans in the kitchen

158
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 2: of McDonald's. So the whole fast food era that made

159
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 2: it quick and convenient and relatively inexpensive for us to

160
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 2: eat quickly on the goal. He says, this is the

161
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 2: problem and we got to tackle it just broadly culturally.

162
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 2: And you say leave us alone.

163
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:32,199
Speaker 5: Ed, yes, because I honestly think the market will correct

164
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 5: itself if you start having Remember the Panera charged lemonade case, for.

165
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 2: Example, we talked about that Philadelphia. The woman who died

166
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 2: because she said it was not labeled properly, how caffeinated

167
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 2: the beverage was a Panera, and she won that case.

168
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 5: I was surprised to learn that's right. So the market

169
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 5: will take care of itself. The kids are drinking sugar

170
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 5: bombs and they're getting diabetes at a younger age, then

171
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 5: somebody's going to outright Sioux Starbucks and Duncan, and then

172
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 5: they're gonna put a stop to that real fast, and

173
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 5: that'll happen.

174
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 2: Here's what I've yeah, and I have noticed. I mean,

175
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 2: you walk into a lot of convenience stores now and

176
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 2: you'll see protein options. A lot of people are now

177
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 2: marketing have you noticed it heavily marketing protein, protein, protein bowls,

178
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 2: protein this, get your protein, get your meat. It's it's

179
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 2: clearly taking root that people are desiring this protein based diet.

180
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 2: Food pyramid flipped upside down. I have We've talked with

181
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:31,439
Speaker 2: friends of ours in the liquor business who say beer

182
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 2: sales and liquor sales are plummeting now. I don't know

183
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 2: if the same can be said about pot, but it

184
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 2: is true. People are like alcohol consumption is down in

185
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 2: this country. People don't talk a lot about it, but

186
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 2: it's true. So what does that mean is it? Maha?

187
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 5: It could be because we saw the explosion of craft

188
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 5: like micro brews.

189
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 2: There was a brewery on every corner.

190
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 5: Over the past ten years, and now they're starting to

191
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 5: close up. Yeah, so that's the market taking care of itself.

192
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 5: To your point, Yes, and that's what I thought. It

193
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 5: happened here with Starbucks and Duncan. Kennedy blasted Duncan. He said, yeah,

194
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 5: we're gonna ask Duncan and Starbucks to show safety data.

195
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 5: That's okay for teenage girls to drink iced coffee with

196
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 5: one hundred fifteen grams of sugar. The governor posting on X,

197
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 5: come and take it. If this administration changes anything that

198
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 5: goes into Duncan, I will make January sixth look like

199
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 5: a tea party.

200
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,719
Speaker 2: One user rote, I think there's a little tongue in

201
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 2: cheek there, but others of the platform echoed the governor's

202
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 2: comments and threatened present day Boston tea parties up there

203
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 2: in Massachusetts. Kennedy is perhaps better known for his stands

204
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 2: on shots and other medical claims. He's gained by partisan

205
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 2: support for his vows to scrutinize sugar levels and other

206
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 2: ingredients and food that line grocery store aisles. Okay, fine,

207
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 2: here's the other side, the other side of this thing.

208
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 2: And I've got a story in the staff today about

209
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 2: GLP ones known brand name like ozimpic, and I think

210
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 2: Manngerro or I forget what they're called. The shots now,

211
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 2: I guess in pill form two. A lot of people

212
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 2: are taking that, And now people are starting to study

213
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,719
Speaker 2: the effects of that, and is there more to be

214
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 2: learned there? So are we better off culturally? We're doing

215
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 2: less sugar, doing less fast food. Fine, now we're all

216
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 2: taking shots and pills and shriveling like Raisins, losing a

217
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 2: lot of muscle mass. But is that better or worse?

218
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 1: Ed?

219
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 2: Now we've gone hardcore into the GLP scene, not as

220
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 2: much sugar, not as much fast food, and we're all

221
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 2: withering like Raisins. Now you and I are not. By

222
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 2: the way, we're using PhD weight loss our great sponsors,

223
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 2: doctor Ashley Lucas, and together you and I have lost

224
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 2: seventy five pounds here in the last year. And we

225
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 2: don't do any of that, and I'm not maligning you

226
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 2: if you do, but that's the new thing now ed

227
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 2: they can't keep this stuff on the shelves proverbially. People

228
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 2: are snatching up that gop and popping pills and taking shots.

229
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 2: And are we better for that?

230
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 5: And that's what's scary. I know we're not, because now

231
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:12,719
Speaker 5: you talk about these one hundred and fifteen grams of

232
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 5: sugary drinks. What the golp one does is make you

233
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 5: less hungry. It makes you consume less. So if you're

234
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 5: just replacing what you would normally consume in quantity, like

235
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,559
Speaker 5: you know, the Big Fried chicken, but instead you're drinking

236
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 5: a coke or you're drinking one hundred and fifteen gram

237
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 5: sugar drink, that's not good either, man.

238
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 1: I know.

239
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 2: I yesterday in the Hrrum Society. By the way, if

240
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 2: you're not a horum for join us, I actually posted

241
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 2: just for your own research and reading. There's a doctor

242
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 2: that I found on X that's been studying these golp

243
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 2: ones and the side effects of what it's doing just

244
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 2: to people emotionally and their personal relationships, which I just

245
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 2: thought was interesting and notable. I don't know we're taking

246
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 2: we're culturally, we're taking a hard swing on the diet scene.

247
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 2: That'sretty clear. Moren a minute. Good to have you along, Miami, Florida.

00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 5: like it's an old truck, so there is no there's

310
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 5: no big screen, there's no nothing. So like, yes, I'm

311
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 5: forced a lot, especially when I'm traveling, I'm forced to

312
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 5: consume just audio.

313
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 2: And I agree. I mean, that's that's that's where my

314
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 2: heart is.

315
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: Man.

316
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 2: The new vehicles today, screens run like the entire length

317
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 2: of the dash. It's it's it's like, you know, you

318
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 2: just went to the sphere in Vegas. Like they're making

319
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 2: cars now to just be the sphere inside a car,

320
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 2: just projecting stuff everywhere. And I'm like, is that ultimately

321
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 2: is that a net net? I may now like warm

322
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 2: to the idea of these automatic cars, you know, because

323
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 2: I'm not sure we're gonna be able to drive them

324
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 2: much longer if we've got big screens to watch.

325
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 5: And yeah, I set it an automatic drive and kickpack

326
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 5: and watch this like, oh did you see that? No,

327
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 5: let me catch it on the drive in.

328
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 2: We will update you on the economy here shortly set

329
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 2: street tough. Scott Besson hit the circuit yesterday to explain

330
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 2: situation with the economy and the energy sector. Our friend

331
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 2: Chris Right, the Energy Secretary, tackled some energy issues too,

332
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 2: as these data centers are on the rise, So we're

333
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,720

Speaker 2: Just look for my name S T I G A

343
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 2: L L. Chris Stigall. If you were listening to the

344
00:17:55,400 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 2: show yesterday, we covered the press conference live. Pete Hagg's

345
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 2: and the Joint Chiefs Chairman had a joint press conference

346
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 2: at the Pentagon, and it was pretty clear Pete Hegsith

347
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 2: was laying out in no uncertain terms and I kept

348
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:16,120
Speaker 2: the notes because I wanted to talk a little more

349
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 2: about it. It was clear as I was watching it,

350
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 2: listening to it and going over some of the notes

351
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 2: I took on it. What was going on here? He says,

352
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 2: every minute, every day until we decide it's over, We're

353
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 2: going to continue to pummel death and destruction all day long.

354
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 2: These are the notes I took on this yesterday. It's

355
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 2: not a fair fight. We're punching while they're down. We're accelerating,

356
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:44,679
Speaker 2: not decelerating. There will be more fighters and more bombers

357
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 2: arriving every day. We have an unlimited stockpile of precision

358
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 2: gravity bombs. We can easily sustain this fight as long

359
00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 2: as we need to. Military leaders can't communicate. He pointed out.

360
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:07,400
Speaker 2: The Iranian Navy is at the bottom of the Persian Gulf.

361
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 2: Their air defenses are no more. We sunk the first

362
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 2: ship courtesy of a torpedo and a submarine since World

363
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 2: War II out there in the Indian Ocean. This is

364
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 2: not mission accomplished. This is just a reality check. We

365
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 2: have control of the skies, we have control of the waterways,

366
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 2: and the terms of this engagement will be set by

367
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 2: us at every stop, every step, every stage. The terms

368
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 2: of this will be set by us. This is over

369
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 2: when we decide it's over. Death and destruction all day long,

370
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 2: and it's pretty clear. I think what Secretary of War

371
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 2: Pete Hegseth was trying to communicate yesterday in that press conference, right,

372
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 2: I think so?

373
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 5: Yes, the Air Committee, did you take from that? Committed

374
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,360
Speaker 5: to seeing this through? And we are superior. We are

375
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 5: not stopping. You are depleted and this is going to

376
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 5: end very badly for Iran.

377
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the Kurdish now pro American Kurdish forces. This

378
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 2: was a development yesterday that happened since we were with

379
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 2: you last The CIA has given small weapons, it is

380
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 2: reported here from the New York Times anyway, to Iranian

381
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 2: Kurdish forces in Iraq in a covert program that began

382
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 2: before the current war. Now, if you are familiar with

383
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 2: your history, this makes one pucker a little bit. The

384
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 2: Kurds are technically kind of soft allies of ours. But

385
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 2: this happened once upon a time in Afghanistan too, if

386
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 2: you've ever seen the movie Now, I was too young

387
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 2: to know the history live in real time. Some of

388
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 2: you actually lived it. But if you know your history,

389
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 2: during the Reagan era, the United States loaded up the

390
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 2: Afghan folks with a lot of weapons and the Afghanis.

391
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 2: In the movie Tom Hanks Charlie Wilson's War. I recommend

392
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 2: you watch it if you don't know the film, because

393
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 2: what ended up happening there, ultimately we know well is

394
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 2: the Taliban and terrorist entities ended up taking over Afghanistan,

395
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 2: and a lot of that weaponry ended up becoming a

396
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 2: real problem for the United States later. So it's always

397
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,679
Speaker 2: a little touchy to me when you hand a rebel

398
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 2: group weapons to help us in a combat mission. You

399
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 2: never I mean, we've seen historically how that ends to. Again,

400
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,640
Speaker 2: I'm not a foreign policy expert, so I'm not at

401
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 2: liberty to talk about the Kurdish people and where that

402
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 2: goes perhaps, but they see an opportunity now that Iran

403
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 2: has been completely neutered. The Kurds apparently see an opportunity

404
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:57,880
Speaker 2: to go charging into Iran. And what does that mean

405
00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 2: for US long term? I don't know. I'll have to

406
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 2: defer to somebody who is an expert on that. But

407
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 2: pro American Iranian Kurdish forces based in Iraq preparing armed

408
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 2: units that could enter Iran, creating a potential new front

409
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 2: and an already expanding conflict. The CIA has previously given

410
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,919
Speaker 2: small arms to the Kurdish forces as part of a

411
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 2: covert program, and a briefing yesterday, Caroline Levitt said that

412
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 2: reports President Trump had agreed to any plan for the

413
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 2: Kurge to launch an insurgency were completely false. Whether that's

414
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 2: true or not, what is true is Haigsith was trying

415
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 2: to communicate yesterday that's exactly right. We're there to stay.

416
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 2: This is not going to end well for you. You've already

417
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 2: been decimated, you have nowhere to go. And some reports

418
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 2: are this morning it's not confirmed, but there are some

419
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 2: media outlets suggesting that the Iranian leadership such that it

420
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 2: is that exists, there is talking through back channels now,

421
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 2: and there's some reports that those on the ground in

422
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,679
Speaker 2: Iran who are still in charge are reaching out to

423
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 2: places like Sweden and they're like, hey, could you call

424
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,199
Speaker 2: the guys in the United States and see if we

425
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,360
Speaker 2: can't maybe have a conversation about ending this thing now.

426
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's true or not, but the

427
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 2: purpose of Hegsith coming out yesterday and laying out we

428
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 2: have unlimited munitions to continue to bomb you into the

429
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 2: Stone Age if we've got to, so don't test us.

430
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 2: We're going to end this on our terms. When we're ready.

431
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,640
Speaker 2: So just know we're coming, and we're going to come

432
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:32,640
Speaker 2: harder and harder and harder until you eventually learn we're

433
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 2: serious and you quit, you give up. The claim is

434
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 2: Iran is ready to talk. That's their claim at least

435
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 2: some media outlets. Whether that's true or not, I don't know.

436
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 2: I can't confirm or deny it. But that's the latest news,

437
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 2: and let's hope. Let's hope that's the case. Caroline Levitt

438
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 2: yesterday talking to some of the media about this number

439
00:23:58,400 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 2: sixty one, let's go to the White House.

440
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 6: Yes, Department of War is investigating this matter. And I

441
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,159
Speaker 6: would just tell you very strongly, the United States of

442
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:10,120
Speaker 6: America does not target civilians, unlike the rogue Iranian regime

443
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 6: that targets civilians, that kills children, that has killed thousands

444
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 6: of their own people in the past several weeks, and

445
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,919
Speaker 6: uses propaganda quite effectively, and unfortunately, many people in this

446
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 6: room have fallen for that propaganda. So I would caution

447
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 6: you from pointing the finger at the United States of

448
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 6: America when it comes to targeting civilians, because that's not

449
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 6: something that these armforces do.

450
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 2: So that's the media asking Caroline Levity if we're killing,

451
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 2: indiscriminately killing citizens, Chris for the mill. With American media,

452
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 2: they're effectively cheering. Every time I turn on CNN, it

453
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 2: seems that they're interviewing someone, some Iranian diplomat or Iranian official,

454
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 2: giving them voice. I'm like, what am I watching? Did

455
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 2: I just turn on Iranian state television? Why is it

456
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 2: an American media outlet interviewing? How are things going there

457
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 2: on for you? What would you like the American people

458
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 2: to know? We understand who they are. They're terrorists, and

459
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 2: CNN wants to empathize with them and continue to lend

460
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 2: them voice, and they do. In the White House Press briefing,

461
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 2: why are you indiscriminately killing Iranian children? Well, of course

462
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 2: we're not. That's absurd. I mean war as hell, and

463
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 2: that sadly may be the case. I mean, we lose

464
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 2: some of our own. We've lost six of our service personnel,

465
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:30,919
Speaker 2: not through direct conflict, but through what Pete Haigsith calls squirters.

466
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:38,360
Speaker 2: That is kind of in you know, missiles that go astray.

467
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 2: In fact, that came up yesterday too. The six who

468
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 2: we've lost so far in this mission number sixty two.

469
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 6: The position of this administration, that the press in this

470
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 6: room and the press across the country should accurately report

471
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 6: on the success of Operation Epic Fury and the damage

472
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 6: it is doing to the rogue Irani regime that has

473
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 6: threatened the lives of every single American in this room.

474
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 2: If the Iranian.

475
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 6: Regime had their choice, they would kill every single person

476
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:09,360
Speaker 6: in this room. And so we can all be very

477
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 6: grateful that we have an administration and that we have

478
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 6: men and women in our armed forces who are willing

479
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 6: to sacrifice their own lives for the rest of us

480
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,880
Speaker 6: in this room and for every American across the country,

481
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 6: and for every troop that is based in the Middle East.

482
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 6: That's what these except was complaining that it was front

483
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 6: page news about these six service members who were killed.

484
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,239
Speaker 6: That's not what the secretary said, and that's not what

485
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:31,160
Speaker 6: the secretary meant.

486
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:31,919
Speaker 7: And you know it.

487
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 6: You know you're being disingenuous. There is not We've never

488
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 6: had a Secretary of Defense who cares more more.

489
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 8: Get through where tragic things happen.

490
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 2: It's front page news.

491
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 7: I get it.

492
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 2: The press only wants to make the president look bad. Yes,

493
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 2: you know, the president of you a service members.

494
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,239
Speaker 6: Under every president, the press does only want to make

495
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 6: the president look bad.

496
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 2: Probably not in dispute, is it. I mean not to

497
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 2: suggest you shouldn't report on the loss of service personnel.

498
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 2: But Pete Haiks's point yesterday is the press wants to

499
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 2: make it look at every turn like we're somehow making

500
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 2: a colossal mistake. We're on our heels, we're murderers, we're

501
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 2: indiscriminately killing school children, We're getting our own men and

502
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:13,439
Speaker 2: women killed. You know, I saw a guy on CNN,

503
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 2: some British diplomat today calling it an illegal war on CEENN.

504
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 2: Now again, I'm not suggesting that for an unlimited period

505
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 2: of time, weeks and months, all of us should be

506
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 2: cheering war. But for heaven's sakes, what are we five

507
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 2: six days into this thing? And it's been a devastating success.

508
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 2: And look, I am just of a mind and you

509
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 2: may not be, and I respect that you're not. I mean,

510
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:47,919
Speaker 2: we can have a healthy debate about engagement period full stop,

511
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 2: Like whether you think the United States should ever engage

512
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 2: ever in any matter unless we're directly attacked, would the

513
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 2: United States ever move to act ever? I happen to

514
00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 2: be of the mindset that wherever you see a totalitarian

515
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:08,120
Speaker 2: theocracy like Iran that has pledged death, destruction, and dismemberment

516
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 2: to anyone not like them who doesn't believe in what

517
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 2: they believe in. Call me nuts. I'm a guy that

518
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,679
Speaker 2: thinks you ought to probably take that out. I I

519
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 2: just am. You may not be. You may be someone

520
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 2: who feels completely comfortable with a well armed, theocratic thug

521
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 2: regime that has spent almost five decades threatening one of

522
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 2: our big allies in the Middle East, Israel, now clearly

523
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 2: firing off rockets right and left at their soft allies

524
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 2: in the region, moderate Arab countries. Even they are now

525
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 2: forced to join in, and they didn't want to because

526
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 2: they're seeing how crazy these people are. Their purpose has

527
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 2: always been the development of weapons, and Donald Trump saw

528
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 2: a window of time to take them out. How you

529
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 2: can't get behind that, how you can under that's a

530
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 2: good play for the world is beyond me. But some

531
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 2: people just don't want to see it. They'd rather cheer

532
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 2: our failure. Those of you listening on great radio stations

533
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 2: like AM ten seventy the Answer. Steve Dahl, the fantastic

534
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 2: former radio DJ, created a parody song to My Sharona

535
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 2: years ago called Ayatola. That's what you're listening to this morning.

536
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 2: Very very good, pretty appropriate as that guy's now been obliterated.

537
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 2: Those of you watching on the Salem News Channel, We're

538
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 2: glad to have you today. And the brand new news

539
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 2: to us here at the Salem News Channel is that

540
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 2: you can watch the show now on Amazon Prime Video.

541
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 2: That's a new development today. You can find the Salem

542
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 2: News Channel under News via the live TV option. That's

543
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 2: a way to watch us now. So if you are

544
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 2: looking for brand new ways to stream or watch, there's another.

545
00:29:58,680 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: I don't know.

546
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 2: Are people like Swiss Army Knives with their viewing fast

547
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 2: Eddie do they go from app to app to app?

548
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 2: Is that I'm trying to figure out how people or

549
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 2: do you find one you like and that's the one

550
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 2: you ride with.

551
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 5: I think the consumer is more prone to find an

552
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 5: app they like and ride with it. But to be honest, Chris,

553
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 5: what I do is I have it set up in

554
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 5: different places. So if I'm in my living room, I

555
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 5: have the Samsung TV Plus, so I just turned the

556
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 5: TV on and the convenience of the Salem News Channel

557
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 5: already being on there is nice. So I'm not going

558
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 5: to stray from that. When I'm you know, when I'm

559
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 5: in my home studio at the TV, I use Zumo,

560
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 5: which is like NBC's streaming platform, and honestly, it looks sharp.

561
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 2: I like it a lot.

562
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 5: It's easy to use, and I turn the TV on

563
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 5: and Salem news channels on there. So I think that

564
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 5: if you find the app that you like, you're more

565
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 5: prone to just sticking with that. But I like to diversify.

566
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 5: But I get comfortable when it's already just on.

567
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. The thing is it used to be, you know,

568
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 2: on the radio, when you were doing just the radio show.

569
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 2: If there was a problem with the signal or your

570
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 2: transmitter or whatever, you get calls, you'd fix that thing.

571
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 2: The problem with the show being available now on three

572
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 2: hundred different streaming platforms is everybody has the one they like,

573
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 2: and if there's a problem with that one, you hear

574
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 2: about it. So now we become tech support for about

575
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 2: thirty different apps, which is fun. That's the case. Yes,

576
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 2: that does. I would like to go on record right

577
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 2: now and tell you that your host, God bless you.

578
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 2: I am so glad you're here. But if you're having

579
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 2: a problem with your individual streaming experience, I have no

580
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 2: idea how to help you none. I would just tell

581
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 2: you I'm a good old fashioned audio guy who knows

582
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 2: nothing of this place. I'll tell you where you can

583
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 2: find me. But that's all I can do from there.

584
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 2: If there's an issue, take it up with the guy

585
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 2: who runs tech support for the app. I don't know.

586
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 2: But anyway, this adem news channel now available on Amazon

587
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 2: Prime here in the Relief Factor Studios. You know, I

588
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 2: was telling her Rumfers yesterday that Donald Trump is not

589
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 2: an isolationist. He is a builder. He's not a warmonger.

590
00:31:56,120 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 2: He's a builder, and builders solve problems. Builders assemble coalitions

591
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 2: where every partner has real skin in the game. President

592
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 2: Trump spent years mastering that skill in the private sector.

593
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 2: His foreign policy works exactly the same way. That's what

594
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 2: we're watching. Strength creates the opening, but durable piece comes

595
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 2: when neighbors step up and join in the outcome. Strength

596
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 2: opens the door, but it's regional ownership that keeps the peace.

597
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 2: And I think that is one of the key things

598
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 2: to understand, And what excited me so much about this

599
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 2: was to see people who have typically sat this out

600
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 2: and not really gotten involved in our back and forth

601
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 2: with Iran over the last almost fifty years. Now they

602
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 2: see how wild eyed and lunatic their neighbors were and

603
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 2: need to do something to be helpful to eliminate it.

604
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 2: And they're seeing the opportunity Like the Kurds. Perhaps Trump

605
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 2: is forcing regional players to invest now and take responsibility

606
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 2: and secure their own future. Obama, by comparison, did this

607
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 2: shadow diplomacy, garbage empowering Tehran. Well, Trump has completely flipped

608
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 2: the script on all of that. He's eliminating the threat quickly,

609
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 2: and then he's letting the region rebuild itself through commerce,

610
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 2: the Abraham Accords, the Gazaboard of Peace, real regional coalitions,

611
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 2: not US divisions, but real regional coalitions. This is hugely significant.

612
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 2: I explore this more in my most recent edition of

613
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 2: The Harum Society. I hope you will check it out.

614

Speaker 2: Go to Christigall dot com, click on the Harum Society

615

00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 2: thinks in the next hour, at least online with Chris

617
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 2: Wilson and our friends at Eye over Sit Tight. I

618
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 2: don't know about you. If you have yo yo dieted

619
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 2: all of your life, I certainly have keto paleo weight watchers,

620
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 2: intermittent fasting. You lose weight, and I have, I've lost

621
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 2: dramatic amounts of weight before or only to gain it

622
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 2: back and then some and you probably kick yourself for it,

623
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 2: and you think it's all about your own willpower and

624
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 2: your own lack of discipline. Look, maybe EI there's some

625
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 2: of that, but the real truth of it is it

626
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 2: was not strictly about willpower. There is one thing only

627
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:18,240
Speaker 2: that determines whether your body burns fat or stores fat.

628
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 2: And if you don't know how to fix that, every

629
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 2: diet you're ever gonna try fails. That's all that changed

630
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 2: for me was looking at it differently, and PhD Weight

631
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,280
Speaker 2: Loss told me how to look at it differently. Doctor

632
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 2: Ashley Lucas and I started talking about her program and

633
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 2: why it's worked so well for some of my colleagues,

634
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 2: and how she's different. And so when I went on

635
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 2: this program last year and I began to eat real food,

636
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:46,800
Speaker 2: I didn't have to take any kind of shots or

637
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 2: any kind of gimmicky drugs or anything like that. It

638
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 2: was just purely understanding how my body best metabolizes food,

639
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:56,240
Speaker 2: when to eat, what to eat, and not starving myself,

640
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 2: by the way, and here's the deal. You start to

641
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 2: have have real victories quickly. And I lost over forty

642
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:07,800
Speaker 2: pounds in under four months time fast. Eddie, our executive producer,

643
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:09,879
Speaker 2: was so impressed with it, he said, I wouldn't mind

644
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 2: trying it. I said, how much you want to lose?

645
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,800
Speaker 2: He said fifty pounds. So we dialed up Ashley Lucas

646
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 2: and I said, can Eddie lose fifty pounds along with

647
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 2: me here? And she said, oh, absolutely, Let's give it

648
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 2: till May. So he started the program. Folks, he is

649
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 2: already halfway to his goal after just thirteen weeks or so. So,

650
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 2: I mean, you're talking about over twenty five pounds in

651
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 2: a matter of weeks. That could be your story. Now.

652
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 2: I have managed to lose that kind of weight last

653
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 2: year and coming into a new year keeping that weight off.

654
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 2: That's the first time in my weight loss history that

655
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 2: I've lost that kind of weight and maintained the weight loss.

656
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 2: Because at PhD Weight Loss they've identified that one thing

657
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 2: about your system that you can kick into action and

658
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 2: help you lose that weight and keep the body working

659
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 2: for you, not against you. And if you call right now,

660
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 2: they're going to give you two free weeks of the program.

661
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:00,840
Speaker 2: You pay for food, all right, just for food, and

662
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 2: they'll give you two three weeks of the program so

663
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 2: you can finally see real results without more trial and error.

664
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 2: If you're done with the Yo yo dieting thing and

665
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:11,040

670
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 2: Good to have you long, folks. Hey, welcome in on

671
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:32,439
Speaker 2: this Thursday edition of the Stigall Show. Reary looking Philadelphia

672
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 2: this morning. It's been that way all week long here

673
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 2: at our home base in Philadelphia's AM nine ninety the

674
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 2: Answer Live shot from the Jersey side Camden looking across

675
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 2: the Ben Franklin toward Center City Philadelphia, where if you're

676
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 2: watching on the Satum news channel, that Gray fog ed.

677
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 2: It's been that way for four days. Just the ironically

678
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:58,880
Speaker 2: named it's always sunny in Philadelphia. There's a reason it

679
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 2: was ironically named that. If you're curious, it's because I

680
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 2: am convinced the sun almost never shines in Philadelphia. Actually,

681
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 2: I think that's why they named it that show, that

682
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 2: show that because it's ironically named.

683
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, no, the sun always seems to be shining

684
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 5: when I'm trying to take in that. But yes, but no, Chris,

685
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 5: to your point, you've been here, Since you've been here,

686
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 5: it has been completely gray raining two days in a row.

687
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 2: Now, I don't know. It's a strange phenomenon, but it's

688
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 2: the rain. You know. Again, God bless the rain. We

689
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 2: need the rain. Everybody needs the rain. It just seems

690
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 2: like there's a preponderance of it in Philadelphia generally. Nevertheless,

691
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 2: we're glad you're here, wherever you happen to be, Philadelphia

712
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 2: five five Stigaull, come on in all right street tough Scott,

713
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 2: missn't he's been absent for a little while. Although I

714
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 2: did note, you know, when we were seeing those situation

715
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 2: room pictures from the initial strike in Iran over the weekend,

716
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 2: and those situation room pictures came out. The President, I believe,

717
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:57,839
Speaker 2: was in mar a lago of memory serves. But back

718
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,799
Speaker 2: in Washington, JD. Van's vice president sitting at the head

719
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 2: of the table and to his right and to his

720
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 2: left Tulsea Gabbard, Secretary Besant and Secretary Right. Did you

721
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 2: see that?

722
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 4: Ed?

723
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:15,799
Speaker 2: The Energy secretary and the Treasury secretary. We're in the

724
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 2: situation room with the Vice President as we launched on Iran.

725
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:23,319
Speaker 2: I thought that notable, And I must say that as

726
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 2: I've seen situation room pictures before, to my memory, I

727
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 2: don't remember the Energy and Treasury secretaries being in the

728
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:37,279
Speaker 2: room during military operations. Generally speaking, maybe I'm misremembering. I'm

729
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 2: not saying they haven't been. I can't prove be on

730
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:42,319
Speaker 2: a shadow of a doubt that's true. But those were

731
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 2: the only three people in the room with Vice President, Vance, Treasury, Energy,

732
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:48,360
Speaker 2: and National Security.

733
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 5: But that's a testament to all of these just how

734
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:56,880
Speaker 5: important all these segments are when you're doing something like

735
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,320
Speaker 5: this in a place in the world like the Middle East.

736
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 5: I mean, all of those things are involved, That's right.

737
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,880
Speaker 2: What that tells me anyway, and I think it should

738
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 2: tell us all about our president is the voice is

739
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 2: he's listening to the most when he does something this consequential?

740
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 2: What does this mean for our economy? What will this

741
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:20,359
Speaker 2: do to our energy supply which are inextricably linked Our

742
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:23,720
Speaker 2: energy supply directly tied to the economy. The economy cannot

743
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 2: survive without energy supply. We get a lot of it,

744
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 2: for better or worse from Iran. What does it mean

745
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,800
Speaker 2: if this trade of horn moose closed down entirely? President

746
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 2: Trump had a plan immediately. He turned to our own

747
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:38,880
Speaker 2: government agencies to ensure these oil tankers. He's pledged that

748
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 2: we're going to give naval support to these vessels. We're

749
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 2: going to eventually escort them through the Strait of Horn Moves. Naturally,

750
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 2: oil companies right now are like, we're not going anywhere.

751
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 2: We don't want to be blown up. Try to get

752
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 2: this oil to market. So we're just going to hang tight.

753
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 2: And if you've seen the map, probably all the ships

754
00:40:55,719 --> 00:41:00,200
Speaker 2: that are just stuck, they're just sitting right now in

755
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 2: the Persian Gulf and they're not going anywhere. And so

756
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:08,319
Speaker 2: there was a discussion, obviously, And that's what does my

757
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 2: heart some good when I think about the President of

758
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:14,319
Speaker 2: the United States. This isn't willy nilly, this isn't wild eye,

759
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 2: this isn't it came out of nowhere. This is a

760
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 2: guy who's genuinely considering what are the ramifications of what

761
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:23,280
Speaker 2: we're about to do. What does this mean big picture?

762
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 2: And he brings in guys like Scott Besson and Chris

763
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:32,760
Speaker 2: Wright to talk it through. I value that bessn't talking

764
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 2: a little bit about private sector job creation in the

765
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:40,360
Speaker 2: economy at large. Here's number fifty three, Street tough, Scott Besson.

766
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 9: The other way to get productivity going is to have

767
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:48,280
Speaker 9: the private sector create the job growth, not the government.

768
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 9: As President Trump says, he could create two million jobs

769
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 9: anytime he wanted, but they would all be government jobs.

770
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 9: And these are the high paying jobs. We saw construction

771
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 9: pick up by forty thousand last month, and I expect

772
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 9: that's what we're going to see for a while. We're

773
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:09,799
Speaker 9: seeing this Capex boom. And with the Capex boom, they

774
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 9: start out as construction jobs and morph into factory jobs.

775
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. And then he went on to talk about the

776
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 2: NATO requirement that President Trump has helped usher in more

777
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:24,320
Speaker 2: countries stepping up and paying their fair share to NATO,

778
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 2: which you know, the guy that runs NATO has admitted

779
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 2: it took President Trump forcing his hand and making everybody

780
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:35,240
Speaker 2: step up and pay their fair share except Spain. Spain.

781
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 2: Street tuff, Scott Bessant took it to Spain number fifty four.

782
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 7: Doesn't it.

783
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 9: Trump's frustration with the Spanish government is justified that, first

784
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 9: of all, they've been terrible actors. They are the only

785
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 9: NATO member not meeting their NATO requirement. That's known as

786
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:58,359
Speaker 9: a free rider. So the Spanish government is intentionally free

787
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 9: riding off the US government and all the other.

788
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:03,359
Speaker 2: NATO allies who have stepped up.

789
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:06,840
Speaker 9: And then it was unacceptable over the weekend that the

790
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:12,399
Speaker 9: Spanish were highly uncooperative regarding the US bases and what

791
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 9: we could do with our planes as we began executing.

792
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 7: On Operation Epic Fury.

793
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:26,760
Speaker 9: So anything that the slows down our ability to engage

794
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 9: and prosecute this war in the fastest, most effective manner

795
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:35,360
Speaker 9: puts American lives at risk. The Spanish put American lives

796
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 9: at risk.

797
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:42,399
Speaker 2: The Treasury Secretary, folks, this is a guy who has

798
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:45,319
Speaker 2: a seat at the table. Street tough, Scott Besson. When

799
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 2: was the last time you remember a military incursion by

800
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 2: the United States and the Treasury Secretary having such a

801
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 2: voice and so many opinions on the matter Internationally, I

802
00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:00,880
Speaker 2: love it, by the way, speaking of energy, walking and

803
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 2: chewing gum at the same time, the President is well

804
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,680
Speaker 2: aware and watching things domestically as we talk about all

805
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 2: of these this colossal expansion of AI, these data centers

806
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:13,959
Speaker 2: that are being built all over the country. We've talked

807
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 2: with Daniel Turner about this. It takes so much energy.

808
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 2: And I know Pennsylvanian's new garden staters in New Jersey

809
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 2: rates are going boom boom, boom, boom boom, up and up.

810
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 1: And up and up.

811
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:27,840
Speaker 2: These data centers as they're popping in Virginia. I know

812
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:31,360
Speaker 2: you guys around DC are paying through the I mean electricity.

813
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 2: All these data centers are drawing from the electrical grid.

814
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 2: And guess what that means. It's going to start costing

815
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:39,759
Speaker 2: you and me a lot more money. And Trump knows this,

816
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 2: he realizes it, and so yesterday he addressed this with

817
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:45,959
Speaker 2: Secretary of Energy Chris Wright sitting at his side number

818
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 2: sixty four.

819
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:51,840
Speaker 10: Last week, as America's largest tech companies officially signed the

820
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:56,680
Speaker 10: rate payer Protection Pledge. It's a big deal. I'm going

821
00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 10: to have a tremendous impact on electricity costs.

822
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 7: You down all of the costs.

823
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:04,400
Speaker 10: We're having this little interlude to do what we have

824
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:08,440
Speaker 10: to do or under this new agreement, big tech companies

825
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:12,919
Speaker 10: are committing to fully cover the costs of increased electricity

826
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 10: production required for AI data centers, and that would be

827
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 10: prices for American communities will not go up, but in

828
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 10: many cases will actually come.

829
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 7: Down, and very substantially.

830
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 2: This is a big deal. So these data center developers

831
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 2: are pledging they will build their own energy supply and

832
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:39,360
Speaker 2: they will not draw from our electrical grids. We know

833
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 2: that three Mile Island is being onlined again by Microsoft,

834
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 2: for example, and I'm all for it. I mean, if

835
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:49,200
Speaker 2: these data centers are going to continue to build. And

836
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:52,360
Speaker 2: Daniel Turner has been one of the most vociferously opposed

837
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 2: to these data centers just popping up and sucking from

838
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 2: the energy grid and not giving anything back. So the

839
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:01,800
Speaker 2: more Trump can courage these companies to sign pledges that

840
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:06,319
Speaker 2: say you're going to make your own power great and

841
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 2: he says, ultimately that's going to mean your electric costs

842
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 2: will be going down. Let's hope that is something to

843
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:12,799
Speaker 2: keep a sharp eye on, because that will be an

844
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:15,280
Speaker 2: issue going forward. AI needs a whole lot of power.

845
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:18,720
Speaker 2: Data centers need a whole lot of power. President Trump

846
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 2: is more aware of energy and how it determines the

847
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:24,719
Speaker 2: outcome of our economy more than anything else. Great to

848
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 2: be with you, Chicago, thanks for listening on AM five

849
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:33,759
Speaker 2: sixty The Answer Live shot in Wrigleyville this morning. I

850
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 2: have a niece that lives not far from there. That

851
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 2: is a good time. I will say, if you're a

852
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 2: baseball fan, you just can't help but fall in love

853
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 2: with a nice summer afternoon in Wrigleyville and Wrigley Field.

854
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 2: That's just that's as Americana as it gets. I've been there,

855
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 2: took my dad there actually for Father's Day one year

856
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:55,640
Speaker 2: and just had a ball. Although I am kind of

857
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 2: amazed that there are seats where your view is obstructed

858
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 2: by steel beams. Ed if you go, it's the same

859
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:07,759
Speaker 2: way in Boston. You can buy some seats where the

860
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 2: steel beams obstruct your view, and I think they're cheaper.

861
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 2: But I always thought, who sits in the seat with

862
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 2: the steel beam in front of them? I guess if

863
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:17,640
Speaker 2: it's a sold out crowd, you would.

864
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 5: I would take it. I would absolutely take Wrigley has

865
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:23,960
Speaker 5: been the elusive one I was doing early on when

866
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:25,400
Speaker 5: I got a credit card. I was saving up the

867
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 5: points because it was like a check to Wrigley field.

868
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:30,399
Speaker 5: I didn't realize that the points started expiring after time,

869
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:32,880
Speaker 5: so I never got there. So I'll sit with the

870
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:35,400
Speaker 5: steel beam. If if you anybody in Chicago has those

871
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 5: tickets and they're much cheaper, I'll do it.

872
00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:44,240
Speaker 2: You'll peek around the beam, look around the beam, beam peaking.

873
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:49,560
Speaker 2: Speaking of I should mention quickly, Lou Holtz died. I

874
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:52,279
Speaker 2: guess while we're in the sports arena for a minute

875
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 2: and kind of talking about that a little bit. Lou

876
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:57,279
Speaker 2: Holtz legendary coach and just a guy who I had

877
00:47:57,360 --> 00:48:00,160
Speaker 2: the privilege. And I posted this on social media yesterday.

878
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:03,360
Speaker 2: This is a guy that back when it was not

879
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:06,799
Speaker 2: popular and it was not easy. In fact, it was

880
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:09,319
Speaker 2: very uncomfortable, and I suspect I didn't really go too

881
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:11,360
Speaker 2: negative about it, but I really I wanted to go

882
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:13,359
Speaker 2: back and kind of refresh my memory, because I think,

883
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:17,560
Speaker 2: if memory serves, he came under withering attack for what

884
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 2: was regular statements about being pro life. He was a

885
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:28,080
Speaker 2: very faithful Christian and often said so and gave private

886
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:32,319
Speaker 2: engagement speeches on issues of life, and he talked about

887
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:35,399
Speaker 2: his faith. And yes, he was funny and he told

888
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:38,280
Speaker 2: great stories and he was a great commentator on ESPN

889
00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:41,320
Speaker 2: and the like and other sports shows. He was funny

890
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:43,399
Speaker 2: and charming and all of that stuff, and was known

891
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 2: for building great character in the men he coached and

892
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:50,239
Speaker 2: all that's true, and he was lovely. I happened to

893
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 2: be fortunate enough a few years ago to mc a

894
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:57,600
Speaker 2: Pro Life event and he was the keynote speaker, and

895
00:48:57,640 --> 00:49:00,239
Speaker 2: I had the privilege of sitting at the table with

896
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:03,400
Speaker 2: him and spending some time backstage with him prior to

897
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:05,120
Speaker 2: the event. I spent a few hours with the guy,

898
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 2: and he was as charming and affable and sweet and

899
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 2: dear and gentle a guy as you'd ever hope he was,

900
00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:15,759
Speaker 2: and exactly like he was if you ever saw him

901
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 2: on television. I didn't follow him as a coach. I

902
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:22,360
Speaker 2: know most people knew him as the coach. I was

903
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:24,520
Speaker 2: intrigued with the fact that he had such cachet in

904
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 2: the sports world and used it. He was very much

905
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:30,080
Speaker 2: like Tony Dungee. To me Ed, it was like he

906
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:32,280
Speaker 2: and Tony Dungee are the two that come to mind

907
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:37,120
Speaker 2: as sort of the og Christians in sports. Before it

908
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:39,800
Speaker 2: became a thing that a lot of guys felt comfortable doing,

909
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:42,799
Speaker 2: you know, praying in the end zone or talking about

910
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 2: their faith at a press conference. That was not something

911
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:48,600
Speaker 2: we saw even a decade ago, and guys like Tony

912
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:50,839
Speaker 2: Dungee and Lou Holtz have always done so. And I

913
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:52,440
Speaker 2: admire the hell out of that, you know.

914
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 5: In this era, the visibility, like the monstrous presentation that

915
00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:58,480
Speaker 5: football is now. You're right, Yeah, I would say the

916
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:00,840
Speaker 5: last decade or so, they were pretty public about.

917
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:03,920
Speaker 2: It, and they got they got a lot of hits

918
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:07,200
Speaker 2: about it whenever they would talk about traditional marriage or

919
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:10,399
Speaker 2: the Bible or life. I mean Tony Dungee and Lou

920
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:13,880
Speaker 2: Hols particularly, not saying exclusively them, but those two figures

921
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 2: in particular really took a lot of flak for their

922
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 2: unwavering stance on issues like life. And I just so

923
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:23,239
Speaker 2: to the wholest family. I know how much he meant

924
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:25,480
Speaker 2: to the sports world, but I just think he was

925
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:27,319
Speaker 2: a dear, dear man for Christ and we know where

926
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 2: he is today, seated at the right hand of the Father.

927
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:33,799
Speaker 2: Well done, good and faithful servant. Lou Hols, good to

928
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 2: be with you up there in Boston this morning on

929
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:38,720
Speaker 2: AM five ninety. Thanks for listening there on A five ninety.

930
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 2: Thanks for watching on the Salem News Channel Boston where

931
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:43,800
Speaker 2: they say hands off my drink rfk jr. It's a

932
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:48,279
Speaker 2: war with Duncan eight five five stigall if you want

933
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 2: to get in here. You know, our Jewish friends recently

934
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:55,320
Speaker 2: celebrated what's called Perham. It's the biblical holiday that commemorates

935
00:50:55,360 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 2: Queen Esther's courage. Many of us know that Bible story

936
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:02,320
Speaker 2: Queen Esther, the young Jewish woman placed in a position

937
00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 2: she neither expected nor asked for, living in a time

938
00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 2: of rising hatred toward her people, the future looked uncertain. Well,

939
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:13,800
Speaker 2: that's a very similar time that we find our Jewish

940
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:17,080
Speaker 2: friends going through right now in Israel. Specifically, as war

941
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:21,400
Speaker 2: continues and threats loom from places like Iran, our Jewish

942
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:25,600
Speaker 2: friends once again face some sleepless nights and sirens and uncertainty,

943
00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:28,760
Speaker 2: and families don't have much time to find shelter seconds.

944
00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:31,640
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, children are carrying around emotional trauma,

945
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:34,640
Speaker 2: elderly men and women struggle to get to safety in

946
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:41,359
Speaker 2: real time. This kind of existence is one I can't

947
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:43,200
Speaker 2: really fathom. I don't know about you, but I have

948
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:47,440
Speaker 2: CJ the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews they exist

949
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:51,080
Speaker 2: to aid and help people just like that through the

950
00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:55,160
Speaker 2: IFCJ you can step into the moment with courage. You

951
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:59,320
Speaker 2: can support this organization which gives food and emergency supplies

952
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:03,279
Speaker 2: to families fire in this region. It helps build and

953
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 2: stock bomb shelters. It brings trauma care to frightened children.

954
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 2: It assists elderly folks, many of whom, by the way,

955
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:13,880
Speaker 2: are still Holocaust survivors and still with us today, and

956
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:16,600
Speaker 2: they're not even able to physically run when the sirens sound.

957
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:19,480
Speaker 2: For such a time as this, let us stand. Let

958
00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:23,840
Speaker 2: us be a blessing. And IFCJ wants to talk to

959
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:25,680
Speaker 2: you more about how you can do that, if you're inclined,

960
00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:27,359
Speaker 2: if you're interested, and you want to know about their work.

961
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:31,600
Speaker 2: IFCJ dot org, IFCJ dot org, be a blessing, live

962
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:37,359
Speaker 2: the word, answer the call. IFCJ dot org, let me

963
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:39,600
Speaker 2: go to the phones quickly and Maryland, Marcy has been

964
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:43,359
Speaker 2: waiting patiently. Marcy, I'm glad you called. Good morning, Welcome in, Hi.

965
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:46,239
Speaker 11: Good morning. How are you a love listening show in

966
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:46,720
Speaker 11: the morning?

967
00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:49,839
Speaker 2: Oh, thank you so much, Marcy. I appreciate that.

968
00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:54,400
Speaker 11: I wanted to call in this morning. I am a

969
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:58,759
Speaker 11: contracted school bus driver here for Washington County. I'm on

970
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:03,440
Speaker 11: a break right now, thriving, and I wanted to talk

971
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:08,640
Speaker 11: to you about the diesel fuel prices. This is it's ridiculous.

972
00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:15,160
Speaker 11: Maryland is horrible and what's going on. I just don't

973
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:20,920
Speaker 11: understand why the prices jump up. I'm responsible for paying

974
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:24,680
Speaker 11: for those, since I'm a contracted through the county, and

975
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:29,879
Speaker 11: the diesel prices this morning were four dollars and fifty cents.

976
00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:32,280
Speaker 2: And wow, where had they been.

977
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 6: Three?

978
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:39,719
Speaker 11: The lowest thing might have gotten down to was three

979
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:45,239
Speaker 11: dollars And it's just ridiculous. And if we're producing our

980
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:49,759
Speaker 11: own oils and you know, getting our own fuel and all,

981
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:55,600
Speaker 11: I don't understand the rise. And since that happened, and

982
00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:59,920
Speaker 11: I you know over and Iran, why does it jumps

983
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,760
Speaker 11: as soon as something happens when you know they didn't

984
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:06,479
Speaker 11: get any fuel put in the ground to like say,

985
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:09,399
Speaker 11: the next day, so it's like they they as soon

986
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:13,399
Speaker 11: something happens, the price is jump. And it's just it's

987
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:16,400
Speaker 11: it doesn't make sense. It really doesn't.

988
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:19,160
Speaker 2: May I ask you, Marcia, there's no wrong answer to this.

989
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:22,400
Speaker 2: I'm not getting it anything. I'm just curious do you.

990
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:26,719
Speaker 2: Obviously this is a strain on your wallet. You are

991
00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:29,799
Speaker 2: personally feeling the effects of the cost of this. Does

992
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:34,080
Speaker 2: that make you then feel a certain way about the

993
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:36,719
Speaker 2: engagement with Iran, what President Trump is doing.

994
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:41,160
Speaker 11: No, it doesn't. It's just that we were just starting

995
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:45,400
Speaker 11: to see daylight, you know, diesel prices going down, you know,

996
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:49,640
Speaker 11: and everything was starting to even out. I guess you

997
00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:54,160
Speaker 11: could say, and now we're now it just jumped back up.

998
00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:58,920
Speaker 11: And it does affect us because we only get paid monthly,

999
00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:03,880
Speaker 11: so then and it's just chunk. And then you know,

1000
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:07,759
Speaker 11: we do get a portion of our like say, taxes

1001
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:13,920
Speaker 11: back on fuel in Maryland, but the incompetence in Maryland,

1002
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:16,520
Speaker 11: you know, it takes us a whole month after we

1003
00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:18,760
Speaker 11: turn in quarterly to get those back.

1004
00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:22,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, I tell you something, Marcie. I want you

1005
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:24,560
Speaker 2: to stay in touch with me. First of all, you

1006
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:26,640
Speaker 2: are in a blue state and you are governed by

1007
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:29,160
Speaker 2: a blue governor and a blue legislature. And that is

1008
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:31,839
Speaker 2: not a small matter when you're talking about prices like that,

1009
00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:35,200
Speaker 2: but not entirely to be fair, And the reason I

1010
00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:37,120
Speaker 2: wanted to take Marcy's call, I knew she wanted to

1011
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:40,240
Speaker 2: talk about gas prices, which leads me to Chris Wilson,

1012
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:43,239
Speaker 2: one of our favorite new guests that were leaning on

1013
00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:46,480
Speaker 2: weekly at an organization called Eyes Over. Chris is the

1014
00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:50,560
Speaker 2: CEO at Eyes Over, and what Chris does is kind

1015
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:53,719
Speaker 2: of watches over the universe of social media out there

1016
00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:57,320
Speaker 2: and what people are saying in real time. You see polls,

1017
00:55:57,320 --> 00:55:59,399
Speaker 2: We're seeing tons of polling on what people think about

1018
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:03,560
Speaker 2: the war. But this is like real time, granular information

1019
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 2: about what people are saying, particularly online. And so Chris,

1020
00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:09,880
Speaker 2: I welcome you back. You heard Marcie. I wonder if

1021
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 2: you're seeing that people who are really getting soaked at

1022
00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:15,799
Speaker 2: the gas pump right now, and does that bleed in

1023
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:19,200
Speaker 2: to social media sentiment? Good morning, good morning.

1024
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, thanks for having me back. I'll tell you we've

1025
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:22,560
Speaker 8: been tracking it every day.

1026
00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:25,120
Speaker 12: I woke up on Saturday morning and you start looking

1027
00:56:25,200 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 12: and then started running reports on Sunday. And I'll tell you, yes,

1028
00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:33,359
Speaker 12: the affordability aspect is definitely playing into it. It's going

1029
00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:35,799
Speaker 12: to plan into everything in twenty twenty six. And what

1030
00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:41,200
Speaker 12: I'm seeing right now is is what's fascinating is the

1031
00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:44,000
Speaker 12: public reaction is evolving on a day by day basis

1032
00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 12: in the first few days after the military strike, voters

1033
00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:49,440
Speaker 12: don't react to the tackle details. They react to the

1034
00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:52,480
Speaker 12: narrative that they believe about the conflict. And so that's

1035
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:54,440
Speaker 12: what we saw initially. And the word clouds made the

1036
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:57,600
Speaker 12: big impact there. And you mentioned social media. We track

1037
00:56:57,719 --> 00:57:00,600
Speaker 12: all online conversations and so that includes social media, but

1038
00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:03,200
Speaker 12: a lot of others too. And right now the conversation

1039
00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:08,000
Speaker 12: is being shaped by three competing narratives, strength, escalation, risk,

1040
00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:09,520
Speaker 12: and then long term cost.

1041
00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:12,200
Speaker 8: And those are the dominant forces.

1042
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:15,360
Speaker 12: So on the strength and I'll call it a three frames,

1043
00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:18,760
Speaker 12: three strength to turns frame, the supporters say the strikes

1044
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:21,600
Speaker 12: restored to terrence. I RAN's been threatening in the US

1045
00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:26,440
Speaker 12: for decades. Israel's our ally leadership, takedown show resolve. So

1046
00:57:26,680 --> 00:57:29,040
Speaker 12: a lot of the comments see this as long as

1047
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:32,000
Speaker 12: redo the idea that if we finally hit the regime

1048
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:35,920
Speaker 12: hard enough, we re establish a friendly government there.

1049
00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:39,960
Speaker 8: The second one is what I call the escalation risk frame.

1050
00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:42,800
Speaker 12: So the critics there worry is they're going to become

1051
00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:45,440
Speaker 12: a regional war, which you know, see the this is

1052
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:45,880
Speaker 12: going all.

1053
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:48,520
Speaker 8: Over the place. What does retaliation look like?

1054
00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:52,120
Speaker 12: They that's where the service members that have been tragically lost.

1055
00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:54,960
Speaker 12: Come up, isn't becoming a long term conflict? I know

1056
00:57:55,040 --> 00:57:56,840
Speaker 12: we're not going to week into it with those concerns

1057
00:57:56,840 --> 00:57:59,439
Speaker 12: are surfacing. So the biggest fear of voters have right

1058
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:03,080
Speaker 12: now is another Middle East war that expands beyond this

1059
00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:05,680
Speaker 12: initial strike, and that's showing up on what we're reading

1060
00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:05,920
Speaker 12: as well.

1061
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:07,080
Speaker 8: It's also shown up in polling.

1062
00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:09,960
Speaker 12: You've probably seen recent surveys show that roughly six and

1063
00:58:10,040 --> 00:58:12,880
Speaker 12: ten Americans disapproved of the strike, and that's because they

1064
00:58:12,920 --> 00:58:15,720
Speaker 12: believe the conflict could be prolonged. And that difference between

1065
00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:17,880
Speaker 12: eyes over and polling, they're just kind of you tell it.

1066
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:19,680
Speaker 12: And then the third one is that cost and getting

1067
00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:23,400
Speaker 12: back to Marcie's conversation, the cost and consequence frame, and

1068
00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:27,480
Speaker 12: that's a narrative around oil prices, gas prices, casualties sweet

1069
00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:31,920
Speaker 12: seep in this as well economic effects. And so what

1070
00:58:32,240 --> 00:58:33,840
Speaker 12: I kind of compare with polling when I send my

1071
00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:36,880
Speaker 12: reports out and I see polling showing support drops sharply

1072
00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:41,480
Speaker 12: if casualties or gas prices rise, and so in American politics,

1073
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:45,360
Speaker 12: wars are supported as long as they appear short, decisive,

1074
00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:46,160
Speaker 12: and limited.

1075
00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:48,560
Speaker 8: And so once voters start imagining costs.

1076
00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:51,040
Speaker 12: You see, support it rode quickly, and so we're still

1077
00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:54,080
Speaker 12: at an inflection point here. The real battle that's happening

1078
00:58:54,120 --> 00:58:56,840
Speaker 12: in the US is a military obviously, it's narrative, and

1079
00:58:57,480 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 12: so the public is kind of asking one question is

1080
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:02,120
Speaker 12: is this a decisive strike.

1081
00:59:01,960 --> 00:59:03,880
Speaker 8: Or is at the beginning of another endless conflict.

1082
00:59:04,720 --> 00:59:07,000
Speaker 2: So Pete haigsith came out yesterday and I was making

1083
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:09,200
Speaker 2: the point off the top of the show. His press

1084
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:14,360
Speaker 2: conference yes today was about as clear as he could be. Decisive, decisive, decisive.

1085
00:59:14,440 --> 00:59:17,120
Speaker 2: We own Iran, we own the air, we own the sea.

1086
00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:20,080
Speaker 2: We've devastated them entirely. There's more to come until they submit.

1087
00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:22,960
Speaker 2: This is on our terms. We're in total control. Is

1088
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:24,840
Speaker 2: that the right Tony needs to strike based on what

1089
00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:26,000
Speaker 2: you're seeing, it.

1090
00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:29,080
Speaker 8: Is exactly right. And you know, it's almost like he's

1091
00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:30,160
Speaker 8: been reading our reports or something.

1092
00:59:30,160 --> 00:59:34,480
Speaker 12: Because if the narrative becomes decisive, strength support goes up.

1093
00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:38,640
Speaker 12: If the narrative becomes another Iraq, not surprisingly, support collapses.

1094
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:41,840
Speaker 8: And so you what's really.

1095
00:59:41,600 --> 00:59:43,920
Speaker 12: Interesting to me and spein Haig says that the Republicans

1096
00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:46,800
Speaker 12: are largely supportive of the strike right now, but the

1097
00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:50,160
Speaker 12: broader electorate is more skeptical, and so about one quarter

1098
00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:52,880
Speaker 12: to forty percent Americans support the strikes, depending on what

1099
00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:53,560
Speaker 12: you look at.

1100
00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:55,600
Speaker 8: Majorities do worry about escalation.

1101
00:59:55,720 --> 00:59:58,600
Speaker 12: And so what that tells us is the administration's political

1102
00:59:58,600 --> 01:00:03,120
Speaker 12: coalitions behind the app but the national consistence hasn't formed yet.

1103
01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:06,200
Speaker 8: And so that language you hear him using is meant

1104
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:07,600
Speaker 8: to do and is having the impact.

1105
01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:09,800
Speaker 12: I shouldn't say I can't define what he means, but

1106
01:00:09,800 --> 01:00:10,959
Speaker 12: it's having the impact.

1107
01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:11,240
Speaker 1: And do it exactly.

1108
01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:16,560
Speaker 2: Right in the middle of this, Chris Wilson joins us, Sorry,

1109
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:18,400
Speaker 2: it's broken up on us a little bit there. Chris

1110
01:00:18,520 --> 01:00:21,680
Speaker 2: will try to re establish a connection. Chris Wilson CEO

1111
01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:24,360
Speaker 2: of an organization called Eyes Over. It's sort of the

1112
01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:27,600
Speaker 2: pulse of the people, real time sentiments on the ways

1113
01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:30,200
Speaker 2: people are communicating online. It's better than polling because it's

1114
01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:34,560
Speaker 2: real time. And the President yesterday interestingly, had a big

1115
01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:37,480
Speaker 2: conference on energy in the middle of all of this.

1116
01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:39,400
Speaker 2: I mean, presidents have to walk in chew gum at

1117
01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:41,960
Speaker 2: the same time. He's doing more than just an Iranian strike,

1118
01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:46,560
Speaker 2: but it was specifically energy talking AIAI companies and people

1119
01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:49,560
Speaker 2: that have data centers creating their own energy. Chris Wright

1120
01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:52,000
Speaker 2: was sent out to talk about energy, energy consumption. I

1121
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:56,120
Speaker 2: assume again it's kind of to Marcie and the concern

1122
01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:58,520
Speaker 2: about energy costs, how much it costs to heat and

1123
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:01,280
Speaker 2: cool our homes and then we're putting in our vehicles.

1124
01:01:03,360 --> 01:01:05,720
Speaker 2: And I, by the way I brought up too, he

1125
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:08,640
Speaker 2: had the Treasury Secretary and the Energy Secretary in the

1126
01:01:08,680 --> 01:01:12,280
Speaker 2: situation room and the photos that they were releasing, which

1127
01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:15,960
Speaker 2: I found notable. I think Trump is profoundly aware at

1128
01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:17,960
Speaker 2: least of the issues you're talking about. Is that your

1129
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:18,520
Speaker 2: read on it.

1130
01:01:20,120 --> 01:01:22,280
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think that's exactly right. And so.

1131
01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:26,960
Speaker 12: The strike is and the reason why I see kind

1132
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:30,800
Speaker 12: of Trump doing it as as those costs and understandings

1133
01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:34,360
Speaker 12: become more. What am I trying to say and what

1134
01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:37,040
Speaker 12: he did by focusing energy is it's very politically smart.

1135
01:01:37,120 --> 01:01:41,640
Speaker 12: So Americans don't experience foreign policy first through geopolitics. They

1136
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:43,720
Speaker 12: experienced it through their wallet and the price of the

1137
01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:46,200
Speaker 12: pump that Marshi's talking about. And so when you look

1138
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:48,920
Speaker 12: at real time, voter centiment and energy is the bridge

1139
01:01:48,920 --> 01:01:52,600
Speaker 12: between foreign policy and domestic politics. And so there's three

1140
01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:56,840
Speaker 12: things that connect immediately when conflict breaks out. Oil prices, inflation,

1141
01:01:57,000 --> 01:02:01,400
Speaker 12: economic stability, and so every Middle East conflict instantly becomes

1142
01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:04,440
Speaker 12: an energy story in the American mind. And so i

1143
01:02:04,560 --> 01:02:07,479
Speaker 12: Ran sits at the center of the global oil supply risk.

1144
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:10,560
Speaker 12: So tensions rise there and voters automatically start asking, you

1145
01:02:10,560 --> 01:02:13,040
Speaker 12: know what happens in grass prices? And they see every

1146
01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:15,400
Speaker 12: morning you hear on the radio the prices are going up,

1147
01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:17,680
Speaker 12: and they see the pump, they see it happen in

1148
01:02:17,760 --> 01:02:21,840
Speaker 12: the pump. And so if energy prices spike, public support

1149
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:24,760
Speaker 12: for the conflict is going to drop rapidly. And that's

1150
01:02:24,800 --> 01:02:29,280
Speaker 12: why energy independence messaging resonates, and domestic production becomes a

1151
01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:33,200
Speaker 12: national security argument. So yeah, I think Nasha, the braining

1152
01:02:33,200 --> 01:02:35,000
Speaker 12: around that is strengths inergy security.

1153
01:02:34,960 --> 01:02:36,960
Speaker 8: And you see the president doing that. He's very smart.

1154
01:02:37,640 --> 01:02:39,560
Speaker 2: So, CHRISY, if things have not changed by this time

1155
01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:41,360
Speaker 2: next week, and we'd like to check in about this

1156
01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:44,360
Speaker 2: time every week, If things have not changed pretty dramatically

1157
01:02:44,360 --> 01:02:46,000
Speaker 2: and this doesn't seem well in hand by next week,

1158
01:02:46,040 --> 01:02:47,640
Speaker 2: I suspect you're going to have a different report. But

1159
01:02:47,720 --> 01:02:49,960
Speaker 2: right now it feels like the American public is willing

1160
01:02:49,960 --> 01:02:51,520
Speaker 2: to be patient. We're just a few days in, but

1161
01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:54,760
Speaker 2: not too patient, so we'll check back in meantime, Can

1162
01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:56,880
Speaker 2: people stay in touch with you? I want to make

1163
01:02:56,880 --> 01:02:58,880
Speaker 2: sure we mention this because it didn't get too lach time.

1164
01:02:58,880 --> 01:03:01,960
Speaker 2: People can read your data points right if they want to.

1165
01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:04,880
Speaker 12: Yeah, Every Wednesday we put out a report yesterday included

1166
01:03:04,920 --> 01:03:07,600
Speaker 12: the Iraq warf miationinary and go to eyesover dot Us

1167
01:03:07,640 --> 01:03:09,000
Speaker 12: and you sign up for a weekly.

1168
01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:13,720
Speaker 2: Before eyesover dot Us, iesover dot Us sign up for

1169
01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:16,240
Speaker 2: all this really fascinating data. Mornon a minute, thanks Chris.

1170
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:20,080
Speaker 2: Senator Tommy Tubberville will be with us in just a

1171
01:03:20,080 --> 01:03:22,640
Speaker 2: little while. We're looking forward to that conversation since they've

1172
01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:26,880
Speaker 2: had some briefings from key figures inside the administration on

1173
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:31,280
Speaker 2: this conflict in Iran. They voted yesterday in the Senate

1174
01:03:31,760 --> 01:03:35,680
Speaker 2: on the war Powers resolution that flopped, didn't go anywhere.

1175
01:03:35,840 --> 01:03:38,439
Speaker 2: How close are they to the Save Act by the way,

1176
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:43,560
Speaker 2: that came up yesterday? Caroline Levitt reminded everybody, Hey, we're

1177
01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:47,040
Speaker 2: still very, very interested in making sure that everyone who

1178
01:03:47,080 --> 01:03:49,800
Speaker 2: votes in this country has proper identification to do so.

1179
01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:51,280
Speaker 2: Number sixty three here.

1180
01:03:54,080 --> 01:03:56,920
Speaker 6: Save Act is absolutely still a priority for this president.

1181
01:03:57,000 --> 01:03:57,880
Speaker 2: In the administration.

1182
01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:01,560
Speaker 6: The focus of of much of the President's time right

1183
01:04:01,560 --> 01:04:04,600
Speaker 6: now is on ensuring the success of Operation Epic Fury.

1184
01:04:04,920 --> 01:04:07,120
Speaker 6: But the President can walk and shoe ghim at the

1185
01:04:07,160 --> 01:04:09,720
Speaker 6: same time, and he's very much continuing to focus on

1186
01:04:10,040 --> 01:04:12,800
Speaker 6: the issues that matter here at home for the American people,

1187
01:04:13,080 --> 01:04:15,720
Speaker 6: including the passage of the Save Act, including I'm bringing

1188
01:04:15,720 --> 01:04:16,680
Speaker 6: down the cost of living.

1189
01:04:18,680 --> 01:04:21,200
Speaker 2: Let's go to Kerrie in Illinois. Hey, Carrie, I'm glad

1190
01:04:21,240 --> 01:04:22,480
Speaker 2: you called. Thanks for waiting. Hi.

1191
01:04:24,400 --> 01:04:25,240
Speaker 13: How are you this morning?

1192
01:04:25,320 --> 01:04:28,360
Speaker 2: Chris doing great? Thank you. I appreciate your call, sir.

1193
01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:32,520
Speaker 13: Yeah, Hey, I just want to comment on the lady

1194
01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:36,040
Speaker 13: just called just a couple of minutes ago in regards

1195
01:04:36,080 --> 01:04:39,080
Speaker 13: to the diesel prices and everything, and I empathize with

1196
01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:43,880
Speaker 13: her greatly. But unfortunately, you know, this is an economy

1197
01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:48,680
Speaker 13: that is great in the USA, and you know, I

1198
01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:51,640
Speaker 13: always look at everything as dollar cost averaging, you know,

1199
01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:54,280
Speaker 13: because I'm an investor, and you know, I've taken a

1200
01:04:54,360 --> 01:04:57,200
Speaker 13: fifty thousand dollars hit, you know, just from the past

1201
01:04:57,200 --> 01:04:59,919
Speaker 13: few days. But it will bend, it will bounce back,

1202
01:05:00,600 --> 01:05:04,760
Speaker 13: and you know, with the administration doing what it's doing,

1203
01:05:04,960 --> 01:05:07,120
Speaker 13: I think things are going to be great, you know,

1204
01:05:07,320 --> 01:05:11,960
Speaker 13: moving forward and well at least, you know, as long

1205
01:05:11,960 --> 01:05:15,120
Speaker 13: as Trump is president, and I just wanted your thoughts

1206
01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:15,400
Speaker 13: on that.

1207
01:05:15,520 --> 01:05:15,840
Speaker 1: Chris.

1208
01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:19,600
Speaker 2: I actually am really glad you called because you sound

1209
01:05:19,640 --> 01:05:22,160
Speaker 2: like a guy in the markets who's watching this. You said,

1210
01:05:22,200 --> 01:05:25,400
Speaker 2: you just lost fifty k in the last few days

1211
01:05:25,440 --> 01:05:27,600
Speaker 2: since this action. What does that mean? I mean for

1212
01:05:27,640 --> 01:05:29,680
Speaker 2: people that aren't investors, what does that mean to you?

1213
01:05:29,840 --> 01:05:32,960
Speaker 2: Explain that to us? Because that's a devastating sum of

1214
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:35,600
Speaker 2: money to most Americans. You're not freaked out by it.

1215
01:05:36,440 --> 01:05:39,080
Speaker 13: No, I'm not freaked out by it, because you know,

1216
01:05:39,200 --> 01:05:44,520
Speaker 13: I understand how the stock market works, and people do

1217
01:05:44,600 --> 01:05:47,560
Speaker 13: get frustrated and we'll try and sell off early and everything.

1218
01:05:47,600 --> 01:05:50,880
Speaker 13: But thank goodness, I have a wealth manager that, you know,

1219
01:05:51,160 --> 01:05:54,120
Speaker 13: guides me through these things. And all I can do

1220
01:05:54,200 --> 01:05:57,520
Speaker 13: is encourage people to, you know, just hey, it's going

1221
01:05:57,600 --> 01:05:59,640
Speaker 13: to be okay. There's going to be bumps in the road,

1222
01:05:59,720 --> 01:06:04,280
Speaker 13: but what's going on right now, it's a bump in

1223
01:06:04,320 --> 01:06:06,560
Speaker 13: the road. It's going to get better, and I just

1224
01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:12,560
Speaker 13: wish everyone understands that, and hopefully you can understand that.

1225
01:06:13,720 --> 01:06:16,840
Speaker 2: Are you saying that that fifty thousand dollars loss. I

1226
01:06:16,840 --> 01:06:18,320
Speaker 2: don't want to put words in your mouth that fifty

1227
01:06:18,320 --> 01:06:20,880
Speaker 2: thousand dollars loss. You think you'll recover that, but you

1228
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:23,840
Speaker 2: think the investment, the dollar cost average as you put it,

1229
01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:28,280
Speaker 2: the investment in taking out Iran is worth that fifty

1230
01:06:28,320 --> 01:06:30,680
Speaker 2: thousand dollars loss in the short term to you. If

1231
01:06:30,680 --> 01:06:32,520
Speaker 2: I could summarize it, is that accurate or no.

1232
01:06:34,160 --> 01:06:37,080
Speaker 13: Chris, I'll be blunt. I mean if I lost everything

1233
01:06:37,960 --> 01:06:40,360
Speaker 13: to say this country it's worth.

1234
01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:40,560
Speaker 7: It to me.

1235
01:06:46,720 --> 01:06:52,480
Speaker 2: That made you emotional? Yes, I'm sorry, Please don't be

1236
01:06:53,560 --> 01:06:54,440
Speaker 2: explain that feeling.

1237
01:06:55,800 --> 01:06:58,240
Speaker 1: Well, I just care.

1238
01:06:58,840 --> 01:07:01,920
Speaker 13: You know, my kids are in now, and you know,

1239
01:07:02,240 --> 01:07:04,840
Speaker 13: unfortunately I had fired my house a couple of weeks ago,

1240
01:07:04,920 --> 01:07:08,400
Speaker 13: and you know, thank goodness, I have insurance and whatnot.

1241
01:07:08,760 --> 01:07:13,760
Speaker 13: And this is just a good country if people believe

1242
01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:14,040
Speaker 13: in it.

1243
01:07:19,040 --> 01:07:21,760
Speaker 2: I love hearing how much you love the country. I

1244
01:07:21,800 --> 01:07:25,840
Speaker 2: don't think we stop and consider it enough, do we.

1245
01:07:27,320 --> 01:07:28,200
Speaker 7: No, we don't.

1246
01:07:28,920 --> 01:07:32,400
Speaker 13: And as long as we I mean internally here in

1247
01:07:32,440 --> 01:07:35,760
Speaker 13: the US, we all have our indifferences. But as long

1248
01:07:35,800 --> 01:07:39,520
Speaker 13: as we can see past that, we will prevail.

1249
01:07:39,560 --> 01:07:44,080
Speaker 2: And they and my friend, God bless you carry. I'll

1250
01:07:44,080 --> 01:07:46,640
Speaker 2: pray for you and your family. Thank you so much.

1251
01:07:46,960 --> 01:07:51,480
Speaker 2: Quick break moren a minute excellence in dentistry. That's what

1252
01:07:51,480 --> 01:07:53,720
Speaker 2: you're going to get at Williamsburg Dental. My friend Bob

1253
01:07:53,760 --> 01:07:56,320
Speaker 2: Spinado is back on the phone. He's in Brumal, just

1254
01:07:56,360 --> 01:07:58,680
Speaker 2: off the Blue Route, and with two new associates, now

1255
01:07:58,720 --> 01:08:01,760
Speaker 2: you can expand and offer more hours, maybe evening hours,

1256
01:08:01,800 --> 01:08:02,720
Speaker 2: possibly weekends.

1257
01:08:02,720 --> 01:08:03,400
Speaker 1: Bob. Yeah.

1258
01:08:03,480 --> 01:08:05,960
Speaker 14: One of the things that I told them from early

1259
01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:08,400
Speaker 14: on when they started with me was the value of

1260
01:08:08,520 --> 01:08:10,680
Speaker 14: not only their own time, but other people's times. And

1261
01:08:10,680 --> 01:08:12,480
Speaker 14: they run on a similar schedule than I do.

1262
01:08:12,640 --> 01:08:14,560
Speaker 1: If you've got a one o'clock appointment.

1263
01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:16,679
Speaker 14: You're in their chair at one o'clock. And it's something

1264
01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:18,800
Speaker 14: that across the board at Wingsburg Gennor, we really pride

1265
01:08:18,800 --> 01:08:21,640
Speaker 14: ourselves on whether it's an appointment with the hygienister or

1266
01:08:21,640 --> 01:08:24,360
Speaker 14: whether it's appointment with one of our doctors. The other

1267
01:08:24,400 --> 01:08:27,000
Speaker 14: thing is we now have some expanded hours in the

1268
01:08:27,040 --> 01:08:30,200
Speaker 14: evenings and even even there's some discussion about opening again

1269
01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:32,719
Speaker 14: on some Saturdays for services.

1270
01:08:32,760 --> 01:08:35,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, but not you. You're fishing. You're not kidding anybody. It's

1271
01:08:35,120 --> 01:08:36,360
Speaker 2: not you going to be working on Saturday.

1272
01:08:36,360 --> 01:08:38,680
Speaker 14: Come on, I'm in my thirty third year and it

1273
01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:40,000
Speaker 14: should be the young gun.

01:08:40,120 --> 01:08:41,720
Speaker 2: That's right, You've earned it, You've earned it.

1275
01:08:41,800 --> 01:08:42,600

1280
01:08:51,160 --> 01:08:53,240
Speaker 2: save money where they can. If you buy your own

1281
01:08:53,240 --> 01:08:56,080
Speaker 2: health insurance or if you're on Obamacare, you know how

1282
01:08:56,120 --> 01:08:58,680
Speaker 2: expensive those premiums are getting. It's why I've sent my

1283
01:08:58,720 --> 01:09:01,599
Speaker 2: own parents, my personal friends, and my colleagues to John

1284
01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:04,320
Speaker 2: Ruhlman and his team at US medical Plan dot com.

1285
01:09:04,640 --> 01:09:07,519
Speaker 2: John works with one hundred different private health insurance companies

1286
01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:10,280
Speaker 2: across the country to find you the very best coverage

1287
01:09:10,479 --> 01:09:13,320
Speaker 2: at the very best rates. My own parents saved four

1288
01:09:13,439 --> 01:09:16,320
Speaker 2: hundred dollars a month each on their Medicare supplemental health

1289
01:09:16,320 --> 01:09:19,840
Speaker 2: insurance premiums reaching out to John Roulman and US Medical

1290
01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:22,559
Speaker 2: Plan dot com. I have a friend in between jobs.

1291
01:09:22,640 --> 01:09:25,280
Speaker 2: She reached out to US Medical Plan to replace her

1292
01:09:25,280 --> 01:09:28,360
Speaker 2: Cobra insurance rates. Saved six hundred dollars a month. A

1293
01:09:28,400 --> 01:09:31,639
Speaker 2: personal friend who buys his own families health insurance out

1294
01:09:31,640 --> 01:09:33,719
Speaker 2: of pocket. I send him to John and now he's

1295
01:09:33,760 --> 01:09:36,360
Speaker 2: saving one thousand dollars a month. Listen folks, this is

1296
01:09:36,439 --> 01:09:39,080
Speaker 2: one of the easiest ways to save appreciable money every

1297
01:09:39,120 --> 01:09:41,920
Speaker 2: month without sacrificing coverage. But you're not going to know

1311
01:10:25,760 --> 01:10:27,360
Speaker 2: has been in the room for a lot of the

1312
01:10:27,400 --> 01:10:32,559
Speaker 2: briefings over the last days since our initial strike in Iran,

1313
01:10:32,680 --> 01:10:34,640
Speaker 2: and Senator, first of all, thanks a lot for your

1314
01:10:34,680 --> 01:10:35,080
Speaker 2: time today.

1315
01:10:35,120 --> 01:10:37,439
Speaker 1: Good morning, Yeah, good morning. How are you.

1316
01:10:38,280 --> 01:10:41,080
Speaker 2: I'm doing great? Thanks. I am curious to know after

1317
01:10:41,120 --> 01:10:43,400
Speaker 2: you've been in the room for some of these I

1318
01:10:43,439 --> 01:10:46,120
Speaker 2: assume off the record conversations. I know you can't share everything,

1319
01:10:46,160 --> 01:10:49,400
Speaker 2: but do you feel satisfied with the information that you've

1320
01:10:49,439 --> 01:10:52,799
Speaker 2: been hearing as a representative of Alabama and for your citizens?

1321
01:10:52,800 --> 01:10:54,920
Speaker 2: Do you feel good about what you're hearing from Team

1322
01:10:54,960 --> 01:10:55,840
Speaker 2: Trump on the strike?

1323
01:10:56,840 --> 01:11:00,000
Speaker 1: Oh, one hundred percent. You know, they've been very cooperative.

1324
01:11:00,240 --> 01:11:03,479
Speaker 1: They hadn't we hadn't heard anything in classified hearings that

1325
01:11:03,520 --> 01:11:06,680
Speaker 1: we hadn't heard on television. And but that's good. We

1326
01:11:06,720 --> 01:11:10,920
Speaker 1: want we want to be transparent. The Secretary, the Joint chiefs,

1327
01:11:11,160 --> 01:11:14,800
Speaker 1: President Trump, they've all been very transparent telling people what's what,

1328
01:11:15,080 --> 01:11:19,240
Speaker 1: why and how and when when things are possibly going

1329
01:11:19,280 --> 01:11:22,519
Speaker 1: to end or could they end? Uh. You know, at

1330
01:11:22,560 --> 01:11:24,600
Speaker 1: the end of the day, this started with Venezuela. This

1331
01:11:24,680 --> 01:11:28,360
Speaker 1: is not just just uh Iran. You know, We've we've

1332
01:11:28,360 --> 01:11:33,519
Speaker 1: taken out dictators, We've we've closed down drug pipelines, we've

1333
01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:35,759
Speaker 1: stopped nuclear threats.

1334
01:11:36,560 --> 01:11:36,680
Speaker 9: Uh.

1335
01:11:36,880 --> 01:11:39,439
Speaker 1: You know, it's a to me, it's a it's a

1336
01:11:39,560 --> 01:11:42,880
Speaker 1: huge strategy because we have a competitor in China. In

1337
01:11:43,400 --> 01:11:46,920
Speaker 1: all of this in the long run ends up. We

1338
01:11:47,160 --> 01:11:50,800
Speaker 1: have to stop China because they're building, they're getting stronger,

1339
01:11:51,160 --> 01:11:53,400
Speaker 1: and we have to bring them to back to our size,

1340
01:11:53,439 --> 01:11:56,240
Speaker 1: because with these twenty year wars, we have gotten way

1341
01:11:56,280 --> 01:11:57,799
Speaker 1: behind in a lot of different areas.

1342
01:11:58,960 --> 01:12:02,200
Speaker 2: So Senator, is this It's part of a bigger puzzle,

1343
01:12:02,520 --> 01:12:04,280
Speaker 2: if you will, and these are pieces of it. So

1344
01:12:04,320 --> 01:12:09,280
Speaker 2: when we see suddenly we take out Maduro. Obviously the

1345
01:12:09,280 --> 01:12:11,759
Speaker 2: southern borders in issue, but we take out Maduro. President

1346
01:12:11,800 --> 01:12:14,120
Speaker 2: Trump starts to talk about the strategic importance of Greenland

1347
01:12:14,520 --> 01:12:17,400
Speaker 2: and then we strike Iran. Can we stitch all these

1348
01:12:17,439 --> 01:12:20,160
Speaker 2: together and kind of piece together what he calls the

1349
01:12:20,240 --> 01:12:23,599
Speaker 2: don Roe doctrine. I mean, he's obviously thinking big picture here,

1350
01:12:23,800 --> 01:12:26,080
Speaker 2: and a lot of us we weren't thinking about Greenland

1351
01:12:26,520 --> 01:12:28,400
Speaker 2: or Maduro in our day to day lives. But now

1352
01:12:28,439 --> 01:12:29,920
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, we're talking about it. And I

1353
01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:32,759
Speaker 2: think people think that it's made up out of whole cloth.

1354
01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:35,120
Speaker 2: He clearly is seeing things and hearing things we're not

1355
01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:36,720
Speaker 2: privy to as Americans every day.

1356
01:12:37,760 --> 01:12:39,920
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, the thing about President Trump, you've got to

1357
01:12:39,960 --> 01:12:43,800
Speaker 1: plan the guys where and he understands, you know, the

1358
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:48,200
Speaker 1: situation that we put ourselves in over the years of

1359
01:12:48,360 --> 01:12:51,120
Speaker 1: just being soft and weak and not keeping up with

1360
01:12:51,200 --> 01:12:54,240
Speaker 1: the times that you know, the Glint and Greenland deal

1361
01:12:54,479 --> 01:12:57,400
Speaker 1: obviously all the way down to Argentina, you know, all

1362
01:12:57,400 --> 01:13:01,040
Speaker 1: the way through the Western hemisphere. Than Trump is bound

1363
01:13:01,040 --> 01:13:03,640
Speaker 1: in the term and say enough's enough. We want to

1364
01:13:03,680 --> 01:13:08,120
Speaker 1: protect the Western hemisphere Causewuana because Europe is gone. Europe

1365
01:13:08,200 --> 01:13:10,040
Speaker 1: is you can see right now that you know they

1366
01:13:11,120 --> 01:13:14,120
Speaker 1: decided we're not going to help the Americans in this

1367
01:13:14,280 --> 01:13:16,559
Speaker 1: attack on our end. Well, they'll come around a little bit.

1368
01:13:16,640 --> 01:13:20,519
Speaker 1: Send the fact that that things have turned and how

1369
01:13:20,600 --> 01:13:22,880
Speaker 1: strong that we are, and they really need us. They

1370
01:13:22,880 --> 01:13:25,040
Speaker 1: en't need us or they need Russia. Now how can

1371
01:13:25,040 --> 01:13:28,320
Speaker 1: they get Russia on their side when they're funding Ukraine. So,

1372
01:13:29,600 --> 01:13:34,120
Speaker 1: but the Muslim community has taken over Europe and we

1373
01:13:34,439 --> 01:13:37,240
Speaker 1: can't ever trust them again because they're going to get

1374
01:13:37,280 --> 01:13:38,919
Speaker 1: it back. They're going to fight it on the streets.

1375
01:13:38,960 --> 01:13:42,240
Speaker 1: So President Trump wants to protect our hemisphere. He wants

1376
01:13:42,240 --> 01:13:44,760
Speaker 1: to protect the oil. You know, he's cut off now

1377
01:13:44,760 --> 01:13:46,639
Speaker 1: almost fifty percent of the oil if you put in

1378
01:13:46,640 --> 01:13:50,720
Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia that can go out and possibly be bought

1379
01:13:50,800 --> 01:13:52,760
Speaker 1: by China because we're not going to sell it to them.

1380
01:13:52,760 --> 01:13:55,080
Speaker 1: If we do, we'll make a ton of money off

1381
01:13:55,120 --> 01:13:56,360
Speaker 1: of it, because they're going to pay an arm and

1382
01:13:56,400 --> 01:13:56,879
Speaker 1: a leg.

1383
01:13:56,760 --> 01:14:00,760
Speaker 2: For it, Senator, I have heard it said. I think

1384
01:14:00,760 --> 01:14:03,200
Speaker 2: it's just true what you just said. Keir Starmer, the

1385
01:14:03,400 --> 01:14:06,720
Speaker 2: Prime Minister of the UK, he came out in opposition

1386
01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:08,800
Speaker 2: to this, and I had heard it explain that it's

1387
01:14:09,160 --> 01:14:12,080
Speaker 2: basically he's in such political trouble the only thing left

1388
01:14:12,080 --> 01:14:14,200
Speaker 2: to do for him is to pander to, in fact,

1389
01:14:14,880 --> 01:14:18,040
Speaker 2: the Muslim population in the UK to try to hang

1390
01:14:18,080 --> 01:14:21,040
Speaker 2: onto power. It's grown that substantial. Is that what we're watching?

1391
01:14:21,120 --> 01:14:25,760
Speaker 2: The great ally of ours, the UK now pandering to

1392
01:14:25,840 --> 01:14:26,839
Speaker 2: the Muslim population.

1393
01:14:27,439 --> 01:14:34,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're weak. Leaders, including the Royal family, have allowed

1394
01:14:34,439 --> 01:14:38,640
Speaker 1: the Muslim population to decide the future of Europe. And

1395
01:14:38,840 --> 01:14:42,200
Speaker 1: the bottom line is France, Italy, Germany the only two.

1396
01:14:42,320 --> 01:14:44,280
Speaker 1: Poland and Hungary the only two that's held on and

1397
01:14:44,360 --> 01:14:47,479
Speaker 1: said no, wait, we're going to give up our values

1398
01:14:47,520 --> 01:14:50,400
Speaker 1: and our culture to people from a third world country.

1399
01:14:51,040 --> 01:14:54,200
Speaker 1: Now they're trying to come here the same way President

1400
01:14:54,240 --> 01:14:56,960
Speaker 1: Trump's caught on to it. We've got to stop these

1401
01:14:56,960 --> 01:15:00,040
Speaker 1: third world country people coming. Hell, we've got we've we

1402
01:15:00,120 --> 01:15:03,280
Speaker 1: got We've got one in Congress. Now, how's that? How

1403
01:15:03,280 --> 01:15:05,719
Speaker 1: does that happen? This is the United States or America

1404
01:15:05,800 --> 01:15:08,920
Speaker 1: made up of United States citizens that make decisions for

1405
01:15:09,000 --> 01:15:12,320
Speaker 1: our country, not make decisions for third world countries. So hey,

1406
01:15:12,360 --> 01:15:15,240
Speaker 1: we like everybody, but don't come over here and preach

1407
01:15:15,320 --> 01:15:17,880
Speaker 1: death to America in chant in the streets that we're

1408
01:15:17,880 --> 01:15:19,560
Speaker 1: going to take over. That's not going to happen in

1409
01:15:19,840 --> 01:15:20,439
Speaker 1: this country.

1410
01:15:21,160 --> 01:15:23,120
Speaker 2: I think most striking was the State of the Union

1411
01:15:23,200 --> 01:15:26,120
Speaker 2: last week when the President was addressing the Somali fraud

1412
01:15:26,240 --> 01:15:30,120
Speaker 2: and the aforementioned congress person that you just referred to,

1413
01:15:30,479 --> 01:15:33,880
Speaker 2: Alan Omar starts screaming murderer at him in a headscarf,

1414
01:15:33,920 --> 01:15:36,080
Speaker 2: and I thought, boy, that's a lasting image for the

1415
01:15:36,120 --> 01:15:36,800
Speaker 2: American voter.

1416
01:15:36,920 --> 01:15:41,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. She should be be deported or in jail.

1417
01:15:41,600 --> 01:15:44,080
Speaker 1: She should not be in Congress. You know, she was

1418
01:15:44,120 --> 01:15:46,720
Speaker 1: on the Intelligence Committee at one time. Can you believe that?

1419
01:15:47,120 --> 01:15:50,840
Speaker 1: How stupid some people get in here in Washington, d c.

1420
01:15:51,479 --> 01:15:55,040
Speaker 1: But we've got to be more mindful of our country

1421
01:15:55,040 --> 01:15:57,439
Speaker 1: when it comes to leadership. Thank god President Trump got

1422
01:15:57,439 --> 01:16:00,519
Speaker 1: elected because we were we I spent four years here

1423
01:16:00,560 --> 01:16:05,160
Speaker 1: with Joe Biden and these communists trying to turn our

1424
01:16:05,200 --> 01:16:07,639
Speaker 1: country into the third world country by opening the borders.

1425
01:16:07,720 --> 01:16:10,360
Speaker 1: And President Trump just look what he's done in a year,

1426
01:16:10,640 --> 01:16:12,639
Speaker 1: and of course he's taken a lot of heat from

1427
01:16:13,080 --> 01:16:16,360
Speaker 1: all these so called leaders in the Democrat Party. They're

1428
01:16:16,360 --> 01:16:18,320
Speaker 1: not leaders of Democratic Party. They're the leaders of the

1429
01:16:18,360 --> 01:16:21,040
Speaker 1: Socialist Communist Party. And it's not going to happen. And

1430
01:16:21,360 --> 01:16:23,280
Speaker 1: President Trump's gonna went out in the long run. And

1431
01:16:24,200 --> 01:16:26,080
Speaker 1: we just got to get a few of the rhinos

1432
01:16:26,520 --> 01:16:29,680
Speaker 1: in the Senate that's supposed to be Republicans voting with us.

1433
01:16:29,680 --> 01:16:31,559
Speaker 1: And if we can do that, we can stop a

1434
01:16:31,560 --> 01:16:33,960
Speaker 1: lot of things happening. But right now, I got doubts

1435
01:16:34,040 --> 01:16:36,880
Speaker 1: on anything like the Save Act ever fastened because we're

1436
01:16:36,920 --> 01:16:41,000
Speaker 1: so soft, we're so traditionally minded. I tell people, hey,

1437
01:16:41,080 --> 01:16:42,640
Speaker 1: I don't work for the Senate. I work for the

1438
01:16:42,640 --> 01:16:45,840
Speaker 1: people of Alabama in this country. We better change course

1439
01:16:45,880 --> 01:16:48,920
Speaker 1: here and get things done, because if the Democrats ever

1440
01:16:48,960 --> 01:16:50,840
Speaker 1: win again, and they're going to cheat the win, that's

1441
01:16:50,840 --> 01:16:53,120
Speaker 1: the only way they can win. If they ever win again,

1442
01:16:53,200 --> 01:16:54,919
Speaker 1: this is our country is going to be gone.

1443
01:16:55,840 --> 01:16:57,840
Speaker 2: Senator, That's exactly what I was going to ask you. Next,

1444
01:16:57,880 --> 01:17:00,200
Speaker 2: is the Save Act. Everybody wants it. Everyone wants that,

1445
01:17:00,280 --> 01:17:03,559
Speaker 2: even Democrats wanted. For heaven's sakes, at least the electorate

1446
01:17:03,600 --> 01:17:07,519
Speaker 2: does maybe not elected Democrats, and John thun is kind

1447
01:17:07,520 --> 01:17:09,599
Speaker 2: of the key to it all. Where are we on

1448
01:17:09,640 --> 01:17:12,679
Speaker 2: this filibuster business? And what's your relationship with John Thune?

1449
01:17:12,680 --> 01:17:16,360
Speaker 2: What should we make of him? Sincerely, Yeah, it's okay.

1450
01:17:16,800 --> 01:17:20,400
Speaker 1: You know, you know, right now our party obviously run

1451
01:17:20,400 --> 01:17:23,080
Speaker 1: by President Trump, and it should be. You know, I

1452
01:17:23,200 --> 01:17:25,200
Speaker 1: found out real quick up for being a football coach

1453
01:17:25,400 --> 01:17:28,880
Speaker 1: getting in politics six years ago. If you don't have

1454
01:17:28,920 --> 01:17:30,880
Speaker 1: the White House, you might as well go home, because

1455
01:17:30,920 --> 01:17:33,080
Speaker 1: the White House makes all the decisions and you've got

1456
01:17:33,080 --> 01:17:35,120
Speaker 1: to go along with it. Now, the problem that we

1457
01:17:35,240 --> 01:17:40,800
Speaker 1: have as Republicans, there's not a high percentage, but there's

1458
01:17:40,800 --> 01:17:44,320
Speaker 1: a percentage of Republicans that can't stand Donald Trump. They

1459
01:17:44,360 --> 01:17:47,280
Speaker 1: just don't like you. And as I tell them, folks,

1460
01:17:48,120 --> 01:17:51,200
Speaker 1: seventy seven million people didn't vote for Republicans. They voted

1461
01:17:51,200 --> 01:17:54,160
Speaker 1: for Donald Trump, and most of them from your state,

1462
01:17:54,240 --> 01:17:57,519
Speaker 1: by the way. But they play I don't know how

1463
01:17:57,600 --> 01:17:59,800
Speaker 1: you said, they play God themselves here. They think they

1464
01:17:59,840 --> 01:18:04,720
Speaker 1: know better than Trump and they're going to cater to

1465
01:18:04,760 --> 01:18:08,400
Speaker 1: the to the soft, weak people that has got us

1466
01:18:08,400 --> 01:18:11,719
Speaker 1: in this trouble. And so we have to change course.

1467
01:18:11,800 --> 01:18:14,240
Speaker 1: We have to wake up, and John Fun's gonna have

1468
01:18:14,280 --> 01:18:15,760
Speaker 1: to get in there and mix it with him. If

1469
01:18:15,800 --> 01:18:17,600
Speaker 1: he doesn't, it's going to be over. You're going to

1470
01:18:17,640 --> 01:18:20,760
Speaker 1: see a masacre next year in the in the midterms,

1471
01:18:21,320 --> 01:18:22,559
Speaker 1: in the House and the Senate.

1472
01:18:24,840 --> 01:18:27,960
Speaker 2: Any shot that doing away with the filibuster or John

1473
01:18:27,960 --> 01:18:28,960
Speaker 2: Thuns just committed to that.

1474
01:18:29,960 --> 01:18:33,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got miss McConnell and one of the senators

1475
01:18:33,320 --> 01:18:38,479
Speaker 1: from Alaska and Maine and people that just just believe

1476
01:18:38,520 --> 01:18:41,720
Speaker 1: in tradition. How about believing in this country? And you know,

1477
01:18:42,120 --> 01:18:43,559
Speaker 1: you don't want to call him out to the fact

1478
01:18:43,560 --> 01:18:46,920
Speaker 1: that they might not They might someday do it, But

1479
01:18:47,520 --> 01:18:50,679
Speaker 1: the things that I hear, it doesn't sound good. And again,

1480
01:18:51,200 --> 01:18:52,880
Speaker 1: it's not that we can't beat them. If it was

1481
01:18:52,920 --> 01:18:57,160
Speaker 1: a straight up fair shot. We beat them in twenty

1482
01:18:57,200 --> 01:18:59,320
Speaker 1: twenty four with President Trump went in and won the

1483
01:18:59,360 --> 01:19:03,680
Speaker 1: House and in it, but we overwhelmed them and they

1484
01:19:03,680 --> 01:19:06,479
Speaker 1: were caught on to with this cheating nonsense. But I

1485
01:19:06,560 --> 01:19:09,360
Speaker 1: don't think they're not loaded for bear again and going

1486
01:19:09,400 --> 01:19:11,680
Speaker 1: to do everything they possibly can because they know it's

1487
01:19:11,720 --> 01:19:14,719
Speaker 1: their last shot too. So they got their last shot

1488
01:19:14,760 --> 01:19:17,000
Speaker 1: coming up. We got our last shot. We have to

1489
01:19:17,160 --> 01:19:18,440
Speaker 1: win in November.

1490
01:19:19,240 --> 01:19:20,880
Speaker 2: I got about a minute left. I want to ask

1491
01:19:20,960 --> 01:19:23,240
Speaker 2: you if you could, just because I know this is

1492
01:19:23,240 --> 01:19:25,840
Speaker 2: a fraternity that you're in the passing of Lou Holtz,

1493
01:19:26,160 --> 01:19:27,040
Speaker 2: could you offer your thoughts.

1494
01:19:27,120 --> 01:19:34,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, Oh my goodness, what an icon. I coached against Lou.

1495
01:19:33,200 --> 01:19:36,360
Speaker 16: And I argued all the time in meetings and and

1496
01:19:36,920 --> 01:19:42,360
Speaker 16: but we're also friends, and we were just competitors. And

1497
01:19:42,400 --> 01:19:45,000
Speaker 16: the guy had the best gift of gab of anybody

1498
01:19:45,080 --> 01:19:46,000
Speaker 16: I've ever been around.

1499
01:19:46,560 --> 01:19:50,840
Speaker 1: You know, he was a great ooritator or however you

1500
01:19:50,920 --> 01:19:54,720
Speaker 1: call it. He just believed and motivating young people. We're

1501
01:19:54,720 --> 01:19:56,599
Speaker 1: gonna miss him. I tell you that they don't come

1502
01:19:56,600 --> 01:19:59,800
Speaker 1: along like him very often. And again I was on

1503
01:19:59,840 --> 01:20:02,560
Speaker 1: that field the Catholics versus Convicts at when I was

1504
01:20:03,000 --> 01:20:05,040
Speaker 1: coaching at Miami, and they beat us in eighty eight

1505
01:20:05,080 --> 01:20:08,719
Speaker 1: for the national his national championship, and that was some game.

1506
01:20:08,800 --> 01:20:11,599
Speaker 1: And and I talked about that quite often over the years.

1507
01:20:12,160 --> 01:20:15,439
Speaker 1: And we're going to miss him. And what a great American.

1508
01:20:15,520 --> 01:20:16,599
Speaker 1: He loved this country.

1509
01:20:18,040 --> 01:20:20,080
Speaker 2: And I know you do too, And we always appreciate

1510
01:20:20,120 --> 01:20:22,320
Speaker 2: your candor and your availability to talk straight with the

1511
01:20:22,360 --> 01:20:25,479
Speaker 2: American people. Senator Tommy Tubberville of Alabama, thank you so

1512

Speaker 2: so much, Thank you, Morning Man, Honesta Bell Show.

1513
01:20:31,880 --> 01:20:31,960
Speaker 1: No.

1514
01:20:32,080 --> 01:20:36,400
Speaker 2: I know, look, after a conversation with Tommy Tuberville, knowing

1515
01:20:36,400 --> 01:20:39,000
Speaker 2: that he's likely to become the next governor, I feel

1516
01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:41,800
Speaker 2: like I want to move to Alabama. Don't you just

1517
01:20:41,880 --> 01:20:44,559
Speaker 2: wish every American politician would just tell you, straight up,

1518
01:20:44,600 --> 01:20:47,160
Speaker 2: no filter, what's going on in their mind, like Tommy Tubberville,

1519
01:20:47,320 --> 01:20:49,559
Speaker 2: Like it makes me want to move to Alabama right now.

Speaker 2: do is Dan and Minnesota still with us, Dan, good morning,

1540
01:21:53,880 --> 01:21:54,519
Speaker 2: Glad you called.

1541
01:21:54,600 --> 01:21:54,680
Speaker 17: Hi.

1542
01:21:55,280 --> 01:21:57,960
Speaker 15: Hey, Chris, Yeah, yeah. Tommy Turverville, he's a breath of

1543
01:21:57,960 --> 01:22:02,240
Speaker 15: fresh air. I just wish we had more politicians like him,

1544
01:22:03,080 --> 01:22:05,720
Speaker 15: and also on the Save of America Act if they

1545
01:22:05,760 --> 01:22:07,400
Speaker 15: if they can't get it through the Senate, I wish

1546
01:22:07,520 --> 01:22:09,720
Speaker 15: President Trump could just sign an executive order for the

1547
01:22:09,720 --> 01:22:12,600
Speaker 15: midterms to get it on board. But the reason I

1548
01:22:12,680 --> 01:22:17,960
Speaker 15: called is because I'm just worried about the look. I

1549
01:22:18,439 --> 01:22:23,240
Speaker 15: fully support Operation Epic Fury, okay, but my concern is

1550
01:22:23,240 --> 01:22:26,280
Speaker 15: we've got to make sure that the Iranian people are,

1551
01:22:28,080 --> 01:22:32,200
Speaker 15: you know, setting up shop and organizing, you know, a

1552
01:22:32,240 --> 01:22:37,280
Speaker 15: former government that's going to be good for Iran. And

1553
01:22:37,360 --> 01:22:41,000
Speaker 15: we've got to just completely eradicate the cancer of these

1554
01:22:42,040 --> 01:22:43,120
Speaker 15: the terrorist regime.

1555
01:22:43,880 --> 01:22:46,640
Speaker 2: Or if I could put words in your mouth here

1556
01:22:46,680 --> 01:22:49,840
Speaker 2: a little bit in summarize it is not satisfactory that

1557
01:22:49,880 --> 01:22:55,559
Speaker 2: we would decimate them and then a theocracy establishes again. Anyway,

1558
01:22:55,800 --> 01:22:57,160
Speaker 2: that's not the outcome you want.

1559
01:22:57,479 --> 01:22:59,840
Speaker 15: Yeah, they'll just they'll just go back to doing the same,

1560
01:23:00,200 --> 01:23:03,000
Speaker 15: same old Yeah.

1561
01:23:03,080 --> 01:23:05,160
Speaker 2: I think that's a dan. I'm glad you called about it.

1562
01:23:05,320 --> 01:23:08,400
Speaker 2: That's on my mind. I mean, look, they're careful to

1563
01:23:08,439 --> 01:23:11,760
Speaker 2: say we're not trying to change a regime. That's not

1564
01:23:11,840 --> 01:23:14,000
Speaker 2: our goal. We think they should. We hope they do,

1565
01:23:14,120 --> 01:23:16,439
Speaker 2: but our goal is not to change the leadership there,

1566
01:23:16,840 --> 01:23:19,200
Speaker 2: to which I say, if you don't change the leadership there,

1567
01:23:19,200 --> 01:23:22,439
Speaker 2: we're going to be here again. Am I advocating troops

1568
01:23:22,479 --> 01:23:24,800
Speaker 2: on the ground. No, so I can't. I have to

1569
01:23:24,840 --> 01:23:26,800
Speaker 2: confess I don't have the answer to this. That's why

1570
01:23:26,840 --> 01:23:28,880
Speaker 2: I hope and I did kind of write at the

1571
01:23:28,960 --> 01:23:31,840
Speaker 2: HRRUM Society yesterday that I have a plan of an

1572
01:23:31,920 --> 01:23:35,800
Speaker 2: alliance of regional partners that will come together build a

1573
01:23:35,840 --> 01:23:39,360
Speaker 2: new board of peace, if you will, for Iran. I

1574
01:23:39,400 --> 01:23:42,080
Speaker 2: think that's the only way to do it without boots

1575
01:23:42,080 --> 01:23:44,799
Speaker 2: on the ground. But total destruction and decimation is important.

1576
01:23:45,280 --> 01:23:46,439
Speaker 2: And listen, I want to say, you know, I got

1577
01:23:46,479 --> 01:23:48,040
Speaker 2: an email a minute ago this I said, Chris, please

1578
01:23:48,040 --> 01:23:50,479
Speaker 2: stop listening to the talking heads in your business and

1579
01:23:50,560 --> 01:23:54,200
Speaker 2: bringing on experts. MAGA isn't going anywhere. Stop talking about

1580
01:23:54,200 --> 01:23:57,599
Speaker 2: MAGA breaking up? Ed Am I am I relaying that

1581
01:23:57,680 --> 01:24:00,360
Speaker 2: I think MAGA is breaking up? Or am I down

1582
01:24:00,400 --> 01:24:01,280
Speaker 2: talking this war?

1583
01:24:01,439 --> 01:24:02,720
Speaker 7: Have you given you?

1584
01:24:02,760 --> 01:24:03,919
Speaker 2: Have I given you that impression?

1585
01:24:04,040 --> 01:24:04,200
Speaker 1: Row?

1586
01:24:04,560 --> 01:24:07,799
Speaker 5: No, we got real time reaction, looking at all data

1587
01:24:07,840 --> 01:24:09,080
Speaker 5: points and how it's trending.

1588
01:24:09,120 --> 01:24:11,680
Speaker 2: You've talked about all the polls. What. No, Absolutely not.

1589
01:24:12,600 --> 01:24:15,200
Speaker 2: I am in no way, shape, matter of form talking

1590
01:24:15,240 --> 01:24:18,519
Speaker 2: down this effort or the President's decision here. I'm all

1591
01:24:18,560 --> 01:24:22,360
Speaker 2: good with it. But the reality is the American public

1592
01:24:22,439 --> 01:24:25,479
Speaker 2: gets to say, and we like to pay attention to

1593
01:24:25,560 --> 01:24:29,080
Speaker 2: what concerns them. That's all. As for me, I know

1594
01:24:29,200 --> 01:24:32,559
Speaker 2: exactly what President Trump is attempting to do here, and

1595
01:24:32,600 --> 01:24:35,960
Speaker 2: I support it one hundred percent more. A minute up

1596
01:24:35,960 --> 01:24:38,080
Speaker 2: there in Montana, I don't know how much to make

1597
01:24:38,120 --> 01:24:42,040
Speaker 2: of this. It seems a little slippery. Not really sure

1598
01:24:42,120 --> 01:24:45,599
Speaker 2: what to make of what went down there. President Trump

1599
01:24:45,640 --> 01:24:49,719
Speaker 2: signed off on it, So I guess, okay, fine, Steve Danes,

1600
01:24:50,600 --> 01:24:54,240
Speaker 2: the Senator from Montana, if you'd paid me a million dollars,

1601
01:24:54,240 --> 01:24:56,040
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have been able to remember his name. So

1602
01:24:56,080 --> 01:24:58,320
Speaker 2: I'm not sure how exercised I am about this. Eddie

1603
01:24:59,160 --> 01:25:01,599
Speaker 2: Steve Danes, the senator from Montana. Would you have known

1604
01:25:01,680 --> 01:25:03,400
Speaker 2: him if I forced you right now at gunpoint to

1605
01:25:03,520 --> 01:25:08,040
Speaker 2: name two senators from Montana at gunpoint? Probably not? Yeah, No,

1606
01:25:08,280 --> 01:25:12,840
Speaker 2: I would either. Well, he's out. He quit. He said,

1607
01:25:12,840 --> 01:25:16,000
Speaker 2: I'm done. He's not running, and he said so just

1608
01:25:16,800 --> 01:25:20,320
Speaker 2: seconds before the clock ticked out to allow people to

1609
01:25:20,360 --> 01:25:24,479
Speaker 2: file to run for office up there in Montana. After

1610
01:25:24,560 --> 01:25:26,840
Speaker 2: wrestling with this decision for months, I've decided to not

1611
01:25:26,920 --> 01:25:30,160
Speaker 2: seek reelection, in a move that surprised many colleagues on

1612
01:25:30,200 --> 01:25:32,880
Speaker 2: Capitol Hill. He says he and his wife look forward

1613
01:25:32,920 --> 01:25:35,519
Speaker 2: to the next chapter, cherishing moments with seven grandchildren. He's

1614
01:25:35,560 --> 01:25:39,120
Speaker 2: sixty three years old. He filed his paperwork to run

1615
01:25:39,280 --> 01:25:47,960
Speaker 2: for reelection on February seventeenth. My Montana's primary is June's second. Now,

1616
01:25:48,040 --> 01:25:52,719
Speaker 2: just after he did that, this guy, the US attorney

1617
01:25:52,720 --> 01:25:59,639
Speaker 2: in Montana named Kurt alm Alme registered to run minutes

1618
01:26:00,120 --> 01:26:04,240
Speaker 2: for the deadline ticked out to run the race. So

1619
01:26:04,880 --> 01:26:09,840
Speaker 2: that tells us that mister Danes told mister Alm I'm

1620
01:26:09,840 --> 01:26:13,200
Speaker 2: getting out and I'm going to do it really really

1621
01:26:13,320 --> 01:26:16,080
Speaker 2: last minute. So that you can sign up and run

1622
01:26:16,160 --> 01:26:20,000
Speaker 2: unopposed and get to that primary. President Trump, it is notable.

1623
01:26:20,760 --> 01:26:24,479
Speaker 2: Immediately issued last night an endorsement of this guy. Alm

1624
01:26:25,840 --> 01:26:27,640
Speaker 2: politics is a fascinating thing, isn't it.

1625
01:26:27,680 --> 01:26:27,960
Speaker 1: Addy?

1626
01:26:28,439 --> 01:26:32,479
Speaker 2: Oh hm, Now, now some might see that as very

1627
01:26:32,560 --> 01:26:34,479
Speaker 2: very dirty and underhanded. How do you see it?

1628
01:26:35,320 --> 01:26:38,559
Speaker 5: I think with what we're seeing playing out in Texas

1629
01:26:38,600 --> 01:26:42,360
Speaker 5: at this very moment, you can't leave this to chance.

1630
01:26:42,479 --> 01:26:44,920
Speaker 2: In Montana, well, and that see, this is what I

1631
01:26:45,000 --> 01:26:48,840
Speaker 2: and it makes some people mad and they say that's dirty. Pool. Now,

1632
01:26:48,840 --> 01:26:50,400
Speaker 2: if you're not going to run for Senate, damn it.

1633
01:26:50,479 --> 01:26:52,200
Speaker 2: Get out of the way and let a good old

1634
01:26:52,240 --> 01:26:56,080
Speaker 2: fashioned brawl happen in Montana for the next Republican senator

1635
01:26:56,120 --> 01:27:00,320
Speaker 2: from Montana. But you say, and I hear you, and

1636
01:27:00,360 --> 01:27:02,679
Speaker 2: I understand what you're saying. And I think President Trump

1637
01:27:02,800 --> 01:27:06,920
Speaker 2: understands this better than anybody. We can't have a bloody,

1638
01:27:07,080 --> 01:27:11,080
Speaker 2: bruising Republican fight, particularly in Montana, where it's not too

1639
01:27:11,120 --> 01:27:13,519
Speaker 2: long ago we had John Tester as the United States

1640
01:27:13,600 --> 01:27:17,040
Speaker 2: Senator from Montana. Democrats can slip in anywhere, and you

1641
01:27:17,080 --> 01:27:21,559
Speaker 2: know the easiest way for a Democrat to slip in

1642
01:27:21,560 --> 01:27:25,839
Speaker 2: in a red state is when two Republicans are blowing

1643
01:27:25,880 --> 01:27:28,920
Speaker 2: everything they've got, money and time and energy and everything

1644
01:27:28,960 --> 01:27:32,839
Speaker 2: on one another, and in slips the Democrat, which brings

1645
01:27:32,920 --> 01:27:37,559
Speaker 2: us to the worry in Texas. In Texas right now

1646
01:27:37,880 --> 01:27:42,120
Speaker 2: you have Paxton versus cornin Trump comes out yesterday and

1647
01:27:42,160 --> 01:27:44,519
Speaker 2: says I'm going to endorse here soon, and when I do,

1648
01:27:44,560 --> 01:27:46,760
Speaker 2: I expect the other guy to get out. What do

1649
01:27:46,760 --> 01:27:47,240
Speaker 2: you think of that?

1650
01:27:47,439 --> 01:27:47,479
Speaker 10: Ed?

1651
01:27:48,640 --> 01:27:49,400
Speaker 2: I like it.

1652
01:27:49,560 --> 01:27:52,280
Speaker 5: I don't know if if the donors of either person

1653
01:27:52,560 --> 01:27:54,280
Speaker 5: are going to like that at all, and I don't

1654
01:27:54,320 --> 01:27:56,400
Speaker 5: know that it's going to happen in either case.

1655
01:27:57,560 --> 01:28:00,640
Speaker 2: Axio says Trump is expected to endorse corn and in

1656
01:28:00,760 --> 01:28:03,200
Speaker 2: brutal Texas Senate runoff. Now, what are they going to

1657
01:28:03,280 --> 01:28:07,000
Speaker 2: do to you Texan conservatives who are Paxton fans? And

1658
01:28:07,040 --> 01:28:10,160
Speaker 2: Trump comes out and says, I'm riding with corn Paxton,

1659
01:28:10,200 --> 01:28:11,960
Speaker 2: get out of the way. What's that going to do

1660
01:28:12,000 --> 01:28:15,160
Speaker 2: to the Cornan or excuse me, to the Paxton voter? Ed,

1661
01:28:15,160 --> 01:28:16,840
Speaker 2: do you suppose I know you can't speak for them,

1662
01:28:16,840 --> 01:28:18,840
Speaker 2: but is that going to set off a brush fire?

1663
01:28:18,880 --> 01:28:23,080
Speaker 2: I've already gotten emails from ticked off Texas Republicans said, say,

1664
01:28:23,120 --> 01:28:26,080
Speaker 2: I can't believe Trump would side with that rhino. I'm

1665
01:28:26,120 --> 01:28:27,440
Speaker 2: already getting those emails.

1666
01:28:27,640 --> 01:28:30,320
Speaker 5: Now you're running. Now you're running the risk of those

1667
01:28:30,360 --> 01:28:32,879
Speaker 5: people staying home. There are people who are very passionate

1668
01:28:32,880 --> 01:28:36,599
Speaker 5: about Paxton. Paxton clearly had, you know, a lot of

1669
01:28:36,640 --> 01:28:40,200
Speaker 5: thunder going into this product. Like Paxton thought this out

1670
01:28:40,280 --> 01:28:41,960
Speaker 5: for a very long time on how he was going

1671
01:28:41,960 --> 01:28:44,439
Speaker 5: to do this, and he made the runoff.

1672
01:28:44,680 --> 01:28:49,439
Speaker 2: So so first of all, I'll just say about Montana briefly,

1673
01:28:49,479 --> 01:28:51,280
Speaker 2: for those of you that think that's dirty pool up

1674
01:28:51,320 --> 01:28:53,600
Speaker 2: there in Montana. This Danes guy bails out at the

1675
01:28:53,680 --> 01:28:56,760
Speaker 2: last second, and then in comes this ALM guy to

1676
01:28:56,880 --> 01:29:00,160
Speaker 2: registers the Republican and then Trump immediately comes out and

1677
01:29:00,160 --> 01:29:03,120
Speaker 2: says I'm with them, And you're like, no, wait a minute,

1678
01:29:03,120 --> 01:29:04,880
Speaker 2: that's not the way this is supposed to work. They

1679
01:29:04,880 --> 01:29:07,120
Speaker 2: should have it out up there in Montana if somebody

1680
01:29:07,120 --> 01:29:11,439
Speaker 2: else wants to get in there. I suspect Danes gave

1681
01:29:11,479 --> 01:29:14,040
Speaker 2: Trump ample notice about what he was going to do

1682
01:29:14,160 --> 01:29:16,679
Speaker 2: so that they could There was obviously a game plan

1683
01:29:16,760 --> 01:29:19,320
Speaker 2: in mind, is the point, right, And Trump most of

1684
01:29:19,360 --> 01:29:23,720
Speaker 2: all wants to avoid a bloody, bruisy, bruising primary for

1685
01:29:23,840 --> 01:29:27,880
Speaker 2: a safe red Republican Senate seat like we're going to

1686
01:29:27,880 --> 01:29:29,879
Speaker 2: see unfold likely in Texas.

1687
01:29:29,920 --> 01:29:30,080
Speaker 1: Now.

1688
01:29:30,120 --> 01:29:32,920
Speaker 2: He doesn't want that in Montana. That's what Trump's trying

1689
01:29:32,920 --> 01:29:35,400
Speaker 2: to stave off. You talk about trying to herd the

1690
01:29:35,439 --> 01:29:38,080
Speaker 2: cats and keep all the spinning plates from crashing in.

1691
01:29:38,439 --> 01:29:39,960
Speaker 2: This guy's got a couple of things on his mind

1692
01:29:40,000 --> 01:29:40,320
Speaker 2: at once.

1693
01:29:40,760 --> 01:29:44,160
Speaker 5: And that's and to your point from yesterday, as far

1694
01:29:44,200 --> 01:29:47,320
Speaker 5: as the Texas Senate race goes, you asked yesterday why

1695
01:29:47,479 --> 01:29:50,479
Speaker 5: Wesley Hunt in the race. Wesley Hunt was definitely going

1696
01:29:50,520 --> 01:29:53,879
Speaker 5: to pull more from the MAGA base that supports Paxton.

1697
01:29:54,280 --> 01:29:57,960
Speaker 5: So maybe maybe they thought, maybe they thought that it

1698
01:29:57,960 --> 01:29:59,920
Speaker 5: would be enough to keep it from going to a

1699
01:30:00,080 --> 01:30:01,599
Speaker 5: runoff against Cornyn.

1700
01:30:01,880 --> 01:30:06,839
Speaker 2: Interesting, and that Wesley Hunt thing, he's got thirteen percent.

1701
01:30:07,800 --> 01:30:09,960
Speaker 2: I don't know where they're going to go. But here's

1702
01:30:10,000 --> 01:30:12,200
Speaker 2: something you could talk your way to if you wanted.

1703
01:30:13,320 --> 01:30:16,360
Speaker 2: Trump could come out and endorse Paxton and get Wesley

1704
01:30:16,439 --> 01:30:20,479
Speaker 2: Hunt and Paxton and get that coalition together. And he could.

1705
01:30:20,880 --> 01:30:23,559
Speaker 2: It's just that you have the entire Bush wing of

1706
01:30:23,600 --> 01:30:27,800
Speaker 2: the establishment, big money Republican class, all the Moneys with

1707
01:30:27,880 --> 01:30:30,400
Speaker 2: Cornyn by a lot. I mean, it's just Cornyn is

1708
01:30:30,400 --> 01:30:34,639
Speaker 2: a money raising machine. It's old school, old Republican Bush

1709
01:30:34,640 --> 01:30:38,200
Speaker 2: era money behind Cornan. He's an institutionalist. He's been there

1710
01:30:38,240 --> 01:30:41,840
Speaker 2: for ever. He's a Mitch McConnell ish type, more conservative

1711
01:30:41,840 --> 01:30:44,439
Speaker 2: than McConnell, to be fair, But my point is he's

1712
01:30:44,439 --> 01:30:46,360
Speaker 2: been around for a long time, and there's value to that.

1713
01:30:46,439 --> 01:30:49,040
Speaker 2: There is. I don't discount the fact that there is

1714
01:30:49,160 --> 01:30:53,280
Speaker 2: value to an institutionalist, not in the way they necessarily vote.

1715
01:30:53,280 --> 01:30:59,160
Speaker 2: But there are times I remind you that we have

1716
01:30:59,280 --> 01:31:02,120
Speaker 2: three s Preme Court justice is chosen by Donald Trump,

1717
01:31:02,120 --> 01:31:04,439
Speaker 2: which haven't proven to be entirely great all the time,

1718
01:31:04,479 --> 01:31:06,160
Speaker 2: but for the most part they have been because of

1719
01:31:06,160 --> 01:31:10,880
Speaker 2: Mitch McConnell. To be fair to Mitch McConnell. So institutionalists

1720
01:31:10,920 --> 01:31:13,360
Speaker 2: sometimes have their use. And when you're talking about something

1721
01:31:13,400 --> 01:31:16,599
Speaker 2: like the Save Act getting through the Senate, John thun Net,

1722
01:31:16,720 --> 01:31:19,400
Speaker 2: keep in mind John Thuhn, who runs the Senate right now,

1723
01:31:20,400 --> 01:31:22,280
Speaker 2: What does Trump and the White House want out of him?

1724
01:31:25,360 --> 01:31:28,120
Speaker 2: They want the Save Act, for instance, and some other

1725
01:31:28,600 --> 01:31:34,880
Speaker 2: legislative priorities. John Thuhn wants his institutionalist buddy corningback. So

1726
01:31:35,360 --> 01:31:37,680
Speaker 2: could you imagine ed that there's a discussion between the

1727
01:31:37,680 --> 01:31:42,479
Speaker 2: White House and Thune. Okay, okay, I'll help you John,

1728
01:31:42,960 --> 01:31:46,639
Speaker 2: and John you'll have my backing. But here's what you're

1729
01:31:46,640 --> 01:31:49,400
Speaker 2: gonna do for me. This is horse trading, after all.

1730
01:31:49,880 --> 01:31:52,840
Speaker 2: That could possibly be what's going on, right I think so.

1731
01:31:53,160 --> 01:31:57,720
Speaker 5: The problem though, is like they're absolutely negotiating that right now.

1732
01:31:57,800 --> 01:32:02,439
Speaker 5: I mean, Thune spoke about it yesterday. But Thune doesn't

1733
01:32:02,479 --> 01:32:04,760
Speaker 5: have the votes right now to pass it.

1734
01:32:04,800 --> 01:32:07,639
Speaker 2: He does not no matter what he does, As Tommy

1735
01:32:07,680 --> 01:32:11,760
Speaker 2: Tubberville said today, he's got McConnell, he's got maybe the

1736
01:32:11,800 --> 01:32:14,800
Speaker 2: Warbler up there in Maine. I don't know exactly where

1737
01:32:14,880 --> 01:32:16,919
Speaker 2: she stands, but I think she's unlikely to be supportive

1738
01:32:16,920 --> 01:32:19,120
Speaker 2: by the same bag. And Murkowski of Alaska at least

1739
01:32:19,160 --> 01:32:21,479
Speaker 2: three tailus is probably another thorn in the side. Do

1740
01:32:21,560 --> 01:32:26,360
Speaker 2: you see how Tillis carried on against Christinome. I'm screeching

1741
01:32:26,400 --> 01:32:28,080
Speaker 2: and yelling you at I thought he was a Democrat

1742
01:32:28,080 --> 01:32:34,479
Speaker 2: and he's quitting, he's leaving. So it's I don't envy

1743
01:32:34,600 --> 01:32:37,599
Speaker 2: John Thune. In many ways, I don't think John Thune

1744
01:32:37,680 --> 01:32:40,880
Speaker 2: is quite the squishy rhino that other institutional Republicans have been.

1745
01:32:40,920 --> 01:32:43,280
Speaker 2: I don't think he necessarily is, but I do think

1746
01:32:43,320 --> 01:32:46,600
Speaker 2: he sees the reality of the fact. Tommy Tubberville just

1747
01:32:46,600 --> 01:32:49,679
Speaker 2: said it. I don't. I can't make Lison Murkowski vote

1748
01:32:49,720 --> 01:32:51,760
Speaker 2: for this thing. Guys, what do you want from me?

1749
01:32:51,800 --> 01:32:53,800
Speaker 2: And what would you say to that? Johnthon says, I

1750
01:32:53,800 --> 01:32:56,880
Speaker 2: can't make Lison Murkowski and Mitch McConnell vote for this thing.

1751
01:32:57,000 --> 01:33:03,040
Speaker 2: I can't make them. If I'm right, try harder. Trump says,

1752
01:33:03,120 --> 01:33:05,320
Speaker 2: try harder. Yeah, that's what you if you're Trump, that's

1753
01:33:05,360 --> 01:33:09,360
Speaker 2: what you say. Well, we'll continue to watch it here.

1754
01:33:09,400 --> 01:33:12,080
Speaker 2: I don't again, this is tough. This is really tough.

1755
01:33:12,120 --> 01:33:17,920
Speaker 2: Politics is a tough business, and these these prime I

1756
01:33:18,000 --> 01:33:21,400
Speaker 2: gird yourselves for Texas. You Texas Republicans are going to

1757
01:33:21,439 --> 01:33:24,040
Speaker 2: make things interesting. What we cannot have is a slippery

1758
01:33:24,160 --> 01:33:27,400
Speaker 2: fake preacher become the next United States Senator from Texas.

1759
01:33:27,600 --> 01:33:31,599
Speaker 2: Heaven forbid it. We've already seen one slippery fake preacher

1760
01:33:31,680 --> 01:33:33,960
Speaker 2: slip in well two. As a matter of fact, down

1761
01:33:34,000 --> 01:33:40,920
Speaker 2: in Georgia, Well Warnock is the slippery preacher asof's just

1762
01:33:40,960 --> 01:33:46,719
Speaker 2: a just a liberal, the lord of the Rings Law firm,

1763
01:33:46,720 --> 01:33:49,200
Speaker 2: I call them Warnock and hasoff. Good to be with you,

1764
01:33:49,280 --> 01:33:52,760
Speaker 2: folks on the Salem news channel on the Salem Radio Network. Yeah,

1765
01:33:52,800 --> 01:33:57,440
Speaker 2: here we are the Relief Factor studio. Is a foggy day,

1766
01:33:58,120 --> 01:34:01,040
Speaker 2: AM five seventy in Washington.

1767
01:34:00,800 --> 01:34:01,000
Speaker 11: D C.

1768
01:34:01,960 --> 01:34:06,479
Speaker 2: Eastern Seaboard, really kind of just gloomy. But there's some

1769
01:34:06,479 --> 01:34:08,719
Speaker 2: warm weather coming. I saw it next week, like eighty

1770
01:34:08,760 --> 01:34:12,960
Speaker 2: degrees coming this way next week. That's a little early

1771
01:34:13,000 --> 01:34:13,559
Speaker 2: for that, isn't it.

1772
01:34:13,680 --> 01:34:13,760
Speaker 17: Ed.

1773
01:34:13,880 --> 01:34:16,719
Speaker 2: I mean, I'll take somewhere in between forty and gloomy

1774
01:34:17,280 --> 01:34:20,400
Speaker 2: and sunny and eighty. I mean I could eighties not bad,

1775
01:34:20,479 --> 01:34:22,600
Speaker 2: but you know, give me sixties. I don't mind some

1776
01:34:22,680 --> 01:34:25,040
Speaker 2: nice spring sixties, even a little Christmas. As long as

1777
01:34:25,080 --> 01:34:27,360
Speaker 2: the sun is shining. That's all I ask. I'm just

1778
01:34:27,400 --> 01:34:29,560
Speaker 2: a sun guy, I don't I don't really care so

1779
01:34:29,640 --> 01:34:32,120
Speaker 2: much about the temperature unless it's scorching hot. But I

1780
01:34:32,280 --> 01:34:34,519
Speaker 2: just give me sun. For heaven's sakes, I need the

1781
01:34:34,840 --> 01:34:37,960
Speaker 2: sun the vitamin D. Man, you'll get there at eighty degrees.

1782
01:34:38,000 --> 01:34:39,960
Speaker 2: I have to imagine if they're saying eighty, then the

1783
01:34:39,960 --> 01:34:43,880
Speaker 2: sun will be brightly shining. I know you're not a fan.

1784
01:34:43,920 --> 01:34:45,719
Speaker 2: You like this dingy stuff. You're one of the few

1785
01:34:46,400 --> 01:34:50,479
Speaker 2: like you live. You thrive in the gray, dank, cold

1786
01:34:50,680 --> 01:34:52,000
Speaker 2: foggy mist. You like that.

1787
01:34:52,200 --> 01:34:52,760
Speaker 1: I do.

1788
01:34:53,040 --> 01:34:53,280
Speaker 2: I do?

1789
01:34:53,360 --> 01:34:55,439
Speaker 5: And then all these people are so excited around here

1790
01:34:55,479 --> 01:34:58,080
Speaker 5: in this building talking about, Hey, you know that, yes

1791
01:34:58,120 --> 01:35:01,200
Speaker 5: we lose an hour this weekend, but the sun stays

1792
01:35:01,240 --> 01:35:02,040
Speaker 5: out an hour longer.

1793
01:35:02,080 --> 01:35:04,719
Speaker 2: I'm like, and you're all good with that, like you're excited.

1794
01:35:05,680 --> 01:35:07,200
Speaker 2: You are one of the few guys that does not

1795
01:35:07,400 --> 01:35:09,320
Speaker 2: like the fact we'll get an hour of daylight added

1796
01:35:09,320 --> 01:35:11,599
Speaker 2: this weekend. You don't like that, not at all. Man,

1797
01:35:11,640 --> 01:35:13,120
Speaker 2: I'm a vampire, that's like.

1798
01:35:13,160 --> 01:35:16,160
Speaker 5: I mean, I just because I need it dark when

1799
01:35:16,200 --> 01:35:18,200
Speaker 5: I sleep, and then I need to ease into the day.

1800
01:35:18,360 --> 01:35:21,080
Speaker 2: I know your lights on, Let's go to me. I

1801
01:35:21,120 --> 01:35:25,200
Speaker 2: need to ease in. Got an email from Houston. Marcia said, Chris, sorry,

1802
01:35:25,280 --> 01:35:30,240
Speaker 2: this Texan is not voting for Paxton. He's creepy, unethical,

1803
01:35:30,360 --> 01:35:33,920
Speaker 2: and an adulterer. And remember the old adage, she said,

1804
01:35:33,960 --> 01:35:36,360
Speaker 2: if a man cheats on his wife, he will cheat

1805
01:35:36,400 --> 01:35:40,720
Speaker 2: on you. You can't trust him fast Eddie, what do

1806
01:35:40,720 --> 01:35:44,080
Speaker 2: you think of that? I that's what I've been hearing, Chris.

1807
01:35:44,400 --> 01:35:48,200
Speaker 5: Of what I know about Ken Paxton, he's not I'm

1808
01:35:48,240 --> 01:35:50,840
Speaker 5: surprised he's gotten this far in politics, with all the

1809
01:35:50,880 --> 01:35:52,240
Speaker 5: scandals he's already had.

1810
01:35:53,080 --> 01:35:56,440
Speaker 2: Hmmm, so we were having the discussion, Eddie. Now theorizes

1811
01:35:56,479 --> 01:36:01,480
Speaker 2: perhaps that Wesley Hunt was a trump plant to upset

1812
01:36:01,560 --> 01:36:04,600
Speaker 2: the Paxton apple cart. The boy, do I get a

1813
01:36:04,600 --> 01:36:08,639
Speaker 2: lot of emails from you anti cornin Texans? I don't

1814
01:36:08,640 --> 01:36:10,960
Speaker 2: want that establishment Rhino, But I don't know, Ed. I

1815
01:36:11,000 --> 01:36:14,000
Speaker 2: don't live in Texas, God blessed Texas. I don't. I

1816
01:36:14,040 --> 01:36:16,880
Speaker 2: would move to Texas. I enjoyed that state a lot. Yeah,

1817
01:36:16,920 --> 01:36:20,920
Speaker 2: not my fight, though, you're right, it's interesting. Hell, it's

1818
01:36:21,000 --> 01:36:23,719
Speaker 2: going to play out. We just can't have the fake preacher.

1819
01:36:23,960 --> 01:36:26,360
Speaker 2: Can't have the fake preacher. We can't have a protracted

1820
01:36:26,400 --> 01:36:30,360
Speaker 2: fight amongst Republicans at a time like this. Yesterday, very

1821
01:36:30,360 --> 01:36:34,799
Speaker 2: important hearing, Keith Ellison, Tim Walls, the human mascot governor

1822
01:36:34,880 --> 01:36:39,439
Speaker 2: of Minnesota, and this fraud that's been uncovered. Nancy Mace

1823
01:36:39,600 --> 01:36:41,960
Speaker 2: took Tim Walls to task number fifty six.

1824
01:36:43,840 --> 01:36:47,520
Speaker 3: How much money was spent on twenty seventeen for autism

1825
01:36:47,520 --> 01:36:48,160
Speaker 3: in Minnesota?

1826
01:36:48,200 --> 01:36:48,799
Speaker 2: How much?

Speaker 2: Okay?

1832
01:36:56,400 --> 01:36:59,080

1834
01:37:01,840 --> 01:37:04,280

1835
01:37:05,040 --> 01:37:06,360
Speaker 7: I don't have a number in front of me.

1836
01:37:06,760 --> 01:37:08,559

1839
01:37:15,200 --> 01:37:17,640
Speaker 3: numbers were because you were not governor, And today you

1840
01:37:17,640 --> 01:37:21,320
Speaker 3: can't answer the numbers about twenty twenty four as governor,

1841
01:37:22,120 --> 01:37:24,080
Speaker 3: and you still said you prepared for this hearing today.

1842
01:37:24,080 --> 01:37:24,920
Speaker 2: It's unbelievable.

1843
01:37:25,400 --> 01:37:28,880
Speaker 3: Three hundred and forty three million dollars was spent in

1844
01:37:28,880 --> 01:37:31,880
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four. What percent increases that from one million

1845
01:37:31,880 --> 01:37:34,280
Speaker 3: to three hundred and forty three million? What percentage increase

1846

01:37:37,640 --> 01:37:39,559
Speaker 3: Well, are you governor of Minnesota or not?

1850
01:37:40,600 --> 01:37:41,920
Speaker 7: Yes, I am, I'm not one.

1851
01:37:41,960 --> 01:37:43,960
Speaker 3: I'm governor of South Carolina.

1852
01:37:43,640 --> 01:37:46,479
Speaker 2: All right. So that's how that went for him. Then

1853
01:37:46,560 --> 01:37:49,240
Speaker 2: Tom Emmer took the Attorney General to task at number

1854
01:37:49,240 --> 01:37:49,920
Speaker 2: fifty seven.

1855
01:37:50,680 --> 01:37:55,000
Speaker 17: In that same meeting with the fraudsters, Mister Attorney general,

1856
01:37:55,080 --> 01:37:58,040
Speaker 17: you took aim at the Minnesota Department of Education. You

1857
01:37:58,160 --> 01:38:01,680
Speaker 17: stated that the Minnesota Department of Education had fought the

1858
01:38:01,720 --> 01:38:06,560
Speaker 17: nonprofit in very disgusting ways, in a very racist, xenophobic,

1859
01:38:06,640 --> 01:38:10,760
Speaker 17: and islamophobic manner. You actually asked for the names of

1860
01:38:10,800 --> 01:38:13,479
Speaker 17: all these folks who are just hung up and offered

1861
01:38:13,479 --> 01:38:16,719
Speaker 17: to call the Minnesota Department of Education to quote demand

1862
01:38:16,840 --> 01:38:20,559
Speaker 17: some explanations. We now know that when you made these comments,

1863
01:38:20,720 --> 01:38:23,640
Speaker 17: the Biden DOJ was working with the Minnesota Department of

1864
01:38:23,720 --> 01:38:27,559
Speaker 17: Education and that their work exposed the massive fraud ring.

1865
01:38:28,040 --> 01:38:31,680
Speaker 17: Pretty bad look for you, sir. Either you were oblivious

1866
01:38:31,760 --> 01:38:34,400
Speaker 17: to what was going on under your nose or worse,

1867
01:38:34,880 --> 01:38:37,600
Speaker 17: you were trying to obstruct the work of the Minnesota

1868
01:38:37,640 --> 01:38:41,200
Speaker 17: Department of Education. So I can see the time is

1869
01:38:41,240 --> 01:38:43,719
Speaker 17: getting short, mister chairman.

1870
01:38:43,840 --> 01:38:47,000
Speaker 2: We are left with two questions. Yeah, and the two

1871
01:38:47,120 --> 01:38:50,519
Speaker 2: questions are was Keith Ellison well aware of this fraud

1872
01:38:50,520 --> 01:38:54,160
Speaker 2: and maybe took kickbacks to ignore prosecution of that fraud?

1873
01:38:54,200 --> 01:38:56,439
Speaker 2: And what did the human mascot know? Well, he's not

1874
01:38:56,520 --> 01:39:00,120
Speaker 2: running for another term, so he doesn't think he can

1875
01:39:00,120 --> 01:39:03,000
Speaker 2: weather it. Clearly, we're just getting to the bottom of

1876
01:39:03,040 --> 01:39:05,240
Speaker 2: that story and we'll stay on it here. See you tomorrow.

1877
01:39:05,560 --> 01:39:07,880
Speaker 2: So that's a wrap for another Christagall Show podcast. Thanks

1878
01:39:07,880 --> 01:39:10,200

1880
