From Texas head. Uh, she's she's an interloper. 115 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: She's not even from Texas? Is she? 116 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 8: Actually? I don't believe, so I have to check that. 117 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 8: But no, you're right. She's very much a rich kid. 118 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,599 Speaker 7: She almost like the upbringing wise, I think like she 119 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 7: went to all the best schools and everything like that's 120 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 7: proven them. 121 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,479 Speaker 1: Yeah, there was. There was some big expose and I 122 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,599 Speaker 1: forget who did it. Somebody did the background dig on 123 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,159 Speaker 1: Jasmine Crockett a while back and found out she went 124 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 1: to some really snobby upper Cross defeat nose in the air, 125 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: rich suburban Saint Louis school, probably lily white to boot. 126 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,799 Speaker 1: I've always fascinated, like, you know, look, if I ever 127 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,679 Speaker 1: ran for senate. You know, let's just say I decided 128 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 1: to run for a Senate seat. I've always been fascinated 129 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 1: at the idea that I would just go to any 130 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: state of the Union and run like I would just 131 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: show you know, we just showed you a picture of Wilmington, Delaware, 132 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 1: that I just go to Delaware and run for Senate. 133 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: There's a presumptuousness to that. I mean, missus Clinton did 134 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: it in New York, I guess, and I know Mitt 135 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: did it in Massachusetts and now he lives in Utah. 136 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: There are countless other examples of it. Don't you feel 137 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 1: like there should be I'm not prepared to say a 138 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 1: constitutional requirement, but don't you feel like if you're going 139 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: to represent a state in the United States Senate, there 140 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: should be a requirement for number of years lived in 141 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: a state to do so? Ed Do you think that's unreasonable? 142 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 7: No, to be perfectly honest, that's one of the reasons 143 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 7: Fetterman was so effective was the played to the Homer 144 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 7: thing over and over and over again. 145 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 1: That's right. 146 00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:57,599 Speaker 12: You can. 147 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: You can criticize him for all you'd like. And that's 148 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 1: probably why Doctor Oz had such trouble too, because Doctor Oz, 149 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: even though yes, he had ties to Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, 150 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: he didn't everybody knew. He was a showbiz TV guy 151 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: who hadn't been in Pennsylvania for a very long time, 152 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: but he could claim roots. I don't know. I mean, 153 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: spending a dozen years in Pennsylvania, I suppose I've seen 154 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: enough in Pennsylvania where I could maybe credibly run there 155 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: as sort of my second home. But this would be 156 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: like me moving to New Mexico and running Can you 157 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: do that. I mean I would return to my birth 158 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: state of Missouri if I were living in New Mexico 159 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: and run for Senate in Missouri if I thought I 160 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: had the best shot. Why In fact, I would say 161 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: Jasmine Crockett has a better shot at going back home 162 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: to Missouri where she comes from and running against a 163 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: guy like Josh Holly or Eric Schmidt versus running against 164 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: those guys down in Texas. I was also trying to 165 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: remember what was the sorry doing, Google on you. I 166 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: should have looked this up before the show started. Could 167 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: you give me Beto O'Rourke's final state count versus in 168 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: his Senate runs. I think he took on Ted Cruz 169 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: two different times, if memory serves, maybe more than two. 170 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: I'm just curious how he ended up finishing, because you 171 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: think he'll she'll do better than Beto did. So look, 172 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: there's a reason she's running. I will watch her with 173 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: interest only because these people, ultimately the Democrat machine needs turnout. 174 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: They need excitement, they need enthusiasm aoc zoron Mamdani. They 175 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 1: calculate that she is one of those that interjects energy 176 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: and excitement into the base. She's probably gonna raise a 177 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 1: ton of money. I have every reason to believe she 178 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: does not expect to win. But watch her being a 179 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: big money raiser for Democrats, and remember that's where the 180 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 1: power seat is. It has nothing to do with winning elections. 181 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 1: Many times for Democrats, it's about who controls the money flow. 182 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:02,199 Speaker 1: I've written about this at the hrump Socide before. Jasmine 183 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 1: Crockett is probably less interested in going to the United 184 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 1: States Senate. In fact, I think she knows she's not 185 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 1: going to go to the United States Senate. That's not 186 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: why she's doing this. She wants to be a media 187 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 1: figure and she wants to raise tons of money. She 188 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 1: wants to be a king maker. She's challenging AOC to 189 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 1: be the new star of the party. She likes doing 190 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: the cable news circuit. She likes being invited on the 191 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: talk shows. This keeps her a celebrity in perpetuity. Don't 192 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 1: you see who also raises a bunch of money makes 193 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: herself a star. She's going to try to go to 194 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: the Stacey Abrams route and she's going to try to 195 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: ride that gravy train until it peters out, and it 196 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: will peter out. You find any data on Beto's runs 197 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 1: I did. 198 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 7: I hope she does worse than Beto Ted Cruz only one, 199 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 7: by fifty point nine percent of four point two million 200 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 7: votes to four point zero million votes Ted Cruiz over Beto. 201 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,679 Speaker 1: That was the most recent one Beto put up. Yes, yeah, 202 00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: it was a close one. So you think she'll do 203 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,319 Speaker 1: better than you think she could. She could mount an 204 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 1: insurrection stronger than Beto. 205 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,199 Speaker 7: I do, because she's got that whole star power contingent, 206 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,439 Speaker 7: Like she'll bring out the CARDI b's that Megans, this 207 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 7: stallions like she's got the entire. 208 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,079 Speaker 8: She's got the entire apparatus in place to support her. 209 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, and of course, don't forget there's also something very 210 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: interesting going on down there with Cornan. Remember there is 211 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 1: a challenger to Cornan right now. We've interviewed at least 212 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 1: one of them. I don't know if there's more than one. 213 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 1: I haven't been following it closely, but there's gonna be 214 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: a primary fight to get that Republican nomination. Cornyn, you know, 215 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,079 Speaker 1: obviously has the money advantage. But this is going to 216 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 1: be a really interesting one. So I could be wrong. 217 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: Maybe they look at Betto as you maybe correctly calculated it, 218 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: and she has more firepower and more. She certainly has 219 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: more testosterone than Betto, absolutely, so maybe they calculate she 220 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: could legitimately win against a wounded corn who doesn't exactly 221 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: excite the base down there. I guess I could hear 222 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: the case, Mae. 223 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 8: That would be a big story. 224 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 7: Oh my horrible story, but big one. 225 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 1: Senator Crockett from Texas. 226 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 8: This would be the year. 227 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: Sadly I don't speaking of Yeah, I know, I know, 228 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 1: and that's why I think President Trump is hitting the 229 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: campaign trail. Susie Wiles was a guest on a program 230 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: called The Mom View The Moms for Liberty Ladies hosted 231 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 1: Susie Wiles, the chief of staff to President Trump. She 232 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: made some news yesterday when she announced that President Trump 233 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 1: was in fact going to be going out and stumping 234 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 1: for candidates this coming year. Number thirty five. 235 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 13: We're going to put them on the campaign trail too. 236 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 13: Typically just a little bit of campaign speak, if I may. Yeah, Typically, 237 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 13: you in the midterms, it's not about who's sitting at 238 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 13: the White House's you localize the election, you and you 239 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 13: keep the federal officials out of it. We're actually going 240 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 13: to turn that on its head good and put them 241 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:03,119 Speaker 13: on the ballot because so many of those low propensity 242 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 13: voters are Trump voters. Yes they are, and we saw 243 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 13: a wee could go Tuesday. What happens when he's not 244 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 13: on the ballot and not active. So I haven't quite 245 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 13: broken it to him yet, but he's going to campaign 246 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 13: like it's twenty twenty four again for all these people 247 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 13: that he helps. He doesn't help everybody, but for those 248 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 13: he does, he's a difference maker. And he's certainly a 249 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 13: turnout machine. So the midterms will be very important to us. 250 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 13: He'll work very hard to keep the maternity. 251 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 3: We can't afford to have castalled now. 252 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 13: And one of the things I keep telling people, and okay, 253 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 13: I'm sure going to talk politics. 254 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,359 Speaker 9: I gotta talk this, all right, I am. 255 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,439 Speaker 1: That's good enough, but not to cut the ladies off 256 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,959 Speaker 1: there at the mom view. That's Mom's for America. By 257 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 1: the way, my apologies Moms for America had Susie Wiles there. 258 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: He's going to hit the trail. In fact, the Washington 259 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: Times confirms this also Trump hitting the road to gain 260 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 1: upper hand on the affordability debate. So let's take somebody 261 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: like Jasmine Crockett versus Donald Trump on the campaign trail 262 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,680 Speaker 1: next year. Who you got ed? You still like Trump's 263 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: star power? A jasmine coming on? 264 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 8: I do? But Corning, It's Corning, man. It's a tough one. 265 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 1: Yeah. More in a moment. Merry Christmas. So Trump is 266 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 1: going to hit the road here to gain the upper 267 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 1: hand on affordability, says The Washington Times. Mister Trump says 268 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 1: Democrats are using the affordability mantra to play down his 269 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: progress in bringing down prices that sword under the Biden administration. 270 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: Yet economic worries are unmistakable and unshakable as mister Trump 271 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 1: tries to upend trade and reshape the economy. There was 272 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 1: big news yesterday on gasoline specifically, did you see it? 273 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 1: Energy prices are going to be one of the Aaron 274 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 1: maguire told us this yesterday, and mondays with McGuire, energy 275 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 1: prices are going to be politically one of the things 276 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,959 Speaker 1: people notice first. It's also going to be the thing 277 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 1: that impacts much of what you see at the store. 278 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: What we know is when fuel prices are high, people 279 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:03,559 Speaker 1: that delivered goods to market physical goods to market. Built 280 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 1: in those prices often are fuel costs. If transportation folks 281 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: know that their fuel costs are coming down, and they 282 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 1: can count on that for a while. Odds are what 283 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 1: you could start to see money coming down and off 284 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: the prices of things that are built in to transport, 285 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: and that could be a very very good thing. The 286 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 1: nation's average gas price now has fallen five cents over 287 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 1: the last week and stands at two ninety per gallon. 288 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 1: That's a national average, and that figures in with you 289 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: poor people that live under the Newsome regime and the 290 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: gas taxes of California that still are over five. You know, 291 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: every time I say gas prices have come down, people 292 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: in California go ours. There still five to sixty something 293 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 1: out here, And I'm like, well, yeah, but you're I'm 294 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 1: talking about national average. You live in a healthscape under 295 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: Democrat rule and Gavin Newsom, so your gas taxes in 296 00:14:55,560 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: states like California, that's not true in places like many 297 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 1: places in the Midwest. You know, in Texas. I just 298 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 1: saw it dip below two dollars this weekend. I can't 299 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: remember where I saw that, but somebody, in fact, I think, 300 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,119 Speaker 1: am I making this up? I don't want to overly exaggerate, 301 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: but I feel like I saw somebody dip down to 302 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 1: like a dollar eighty something down in Texas over the 303 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 1: weekend that I might be misremembering that, but I know 304 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 1: it dropped below two dollars in some parts of Texas. 305 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 1: The national average is down seventeen cents from just a 306 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: month ago and is seven cents per gallon lower than 307 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: a year ago. The national average price of diesel, and 308 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 1: this is the biggie, this is the one diesel has 309 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 1: fallen five cents in the last week and stands at 310 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 1: three dollars and sixty seven cents per gallon. That's again, 311 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: national average gas price is continuing to decline in most 312 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: states in the last week. So President Trump is going 313 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: to go out there and become the explainer on affordability. 314 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 1: He's got to be careful, though, and this is one 315 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 1: of those things that President Trump does very very well. 316 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: As long as he leans into understanding where people are 317 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: and what people's perceptions are, he can't get prickly. And 318 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: in fact, in just a minute, I'm going to play 319 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 1: for you a farmer who came and visited him and 320 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 1: told a great personal story. Trump needs to surround himself 321 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 1: with real people and real stories. I know he will. 322 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 1: I know his messaging team will more in a minute. Okay, 323 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 1: President Trump is on the campaign trail. I guess, effectively, 324 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 1: if you want to look at it that way, you know, 325 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 1: I guess we're kind of unofficially kicking off midterm campaign season. 326 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 1: This is I can't remember the last time he went 327 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: out and made a campaign stump stop like he's about 328 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 1: to make in Pennsylvania, which interestingly, he chose Pennsylvania to 329 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 1: make this kind of first stop where he's going to 330 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 1: talk affordability. So what does this tell you? Is this 331 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 1: the White House taking a bit of a heel turn here? 332 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 1: President Trump going to ditch the talk of the affordability 333 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 1: thing being a hoax and try something different. Now, this 334 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 1: seems to be a more nimble White House in every way. 335 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 1: I think they've always messaged well. I think Besstt was 336 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 1: out there over the weekend. We talked about this yesterday, 337 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 1: pretty frustrated. He said, we're not going to say that 338 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:15,680 Speaker 1: Americans don't know what they're feeling. We've been making a 339 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 1: lot of gains, but we understand people don't feel great. 340 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: So this has gotten through to Donald Trump. Do you 341 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 1: expect in Pennsylvania, ed, He's gonna come out there and 342 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,400 Speaker 1: call affordability hoax or do you think they've encouraged him 343 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 1: to soften that and change his tune a little bit. 344 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,399 Speaker 7: I hope they've encouraged him to soften that and changes 345 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,160 Speaker 7: to him. But if it's if he's on the stump 346 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:37,879 Speaker 7: and he's rolling, I mean, I think is quick yesterday, 347 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 7: I think even as recent as is when he said 348 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 7: affordability not was a hoax, but that the. 349 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,119 Speaker 8: Democrats just you know, made it up. So I don't know, 350 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 8: I don't know. 351 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:50,479 Speaker 1: It's tough one. He remember Scott Adams, he's a guy 352 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 1: that likes to study the use of words. Scott Adams' 353 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,440 Speaker 1: theory is Donald Trump using isolating this word affordability and 354 00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,160 Speaker 1: kind of volleying it right back at them is kind 355 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,160 Speaker 1: of taking the power out of it, forcing the discussion. 356 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,879 Speaker 1: I actually maintain it's very similar to this. Now if 357 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,439 Speaker 1: Scott Adams is right about that, and I can't, I 358 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,880 Speaker 1: don't know. I'll defer to mister Adams on that, And 359 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 1: I guess time will tell whether President Trump is taking 360 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,880 Speaker 1: the power and the sting out of that affordability word 361 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,920 Speaker 1: by calling it a hoax and balling it back in 362 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 1: the Democrats' faces. But you know one way. I think 363 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,359 Speaker 1: that he is to great effect. I just heard this morning. 364 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,439 Speaker 1: I won't forget my place. But it just occurred to me. 365 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,440 Speaker 1: I heard a report this morning that President Trump said 366 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: that the double taps, they're calling it the second strikes 367 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:41,399 Speaker 1: on drug boats, that the press is requesting video to see. 368 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 1: President Trump initially said, whatever if you want to see it, 369 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:46,920 Speaker 1: I don't care. I have nothing to hide. Whatever you want. 370 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 1: Now he's saying, eh, you know what, never mind, I 371 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 1: don't think I'm going to release that now. You know 372 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 1: immediately what I thought when I heard that. Now, of 373 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 1: course the news anchor said, what are they hiding? What 374 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:00,879 Speaker 1: is President backtracking? 375 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:01,120 Speaker 11: Now? 376 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 1: He said we were going to be able to see 377 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: any video we wanted to. Now he's backtracking. I thought, 378 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,879 Speaker 1: you idiots. Do you not understand this game by now? 379 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,679 Speaker 1: Have you seen the polling on this. I won't forget 380 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: my place on affordability, I promise the Harvard Harris pole 381 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 1: that just came out in the last couple of days 382 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 1: on American support or opposition of targeting drug smugglers in 383 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 1: open waters to our south, it's a sixty forty issue, 384 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,640 Speaker 1: fifty eight to forty two, So call it a sixty 385 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,400 Speaker 1: forty issue, much like taking young children and trying to 386 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,479 Speaker 1: transition their gender that's an eighty twenty issue. There are 387 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 1: oh or getting rid of illegals breaking into the country 388 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 1: who also traffic in children, drugs, or beat their wives. 389 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,440 Speaker 1: Most Americans don't have a lot of sympathy for characters 390 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: like these. Democrats like to take them out for cocktails. 391 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 1: So the Abrago Garcia thing blew up in their face. 392 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: And now they're dying on the hill of standing with 393 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 1: drug smugglers and they keep having these hearings and they 394 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 1: think they're scoring big points with these hearings. And now 395 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,919 Speaker 1: there's more tape out there, and we want to see it, 396 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: and Trump says, yeah, I don't think I'm gonna let 397 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 1: you see it. Now, what are you hiding? I was 398 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:26,879 Speaker 1: he is truly rode runner to the coyote. These morons 399 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 1: keep thinking they're setting a trap and then he bdbdb 400 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,399 Speaker 1: and you know, takes off and the boulder comes and 401 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:37,439 Speaker 1: or the ACME thing kaboom in the Democrats' faces. So 402 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 1: they're gonna scream and yell for another week heading into 403 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: the holidays about the drug boat. Fast Eddie. Now, I 404 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,639 Speaker 1: just told you. It's a sixty forty issue, and Trump 405 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,879 Speaker 1: has masterfully got them screaming about the drug boat for 406 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 1: another day, maybe another two or three or four days. 407 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 8: I no, I mean, I love this, I love everything 408 00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:57,639 Speaker 8: about it. 409 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: What they're not talking about is affordability. All of a sudden, 410 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 1: now they're talking about drug boats, and again if that's 411 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 1: if that's what they want to do. This is where 412 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 1: Trump is quite smart, and I maintain he's saying, I'm 413 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 1: not going to let you see the video. He wants 414 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,679 Speaker 1: people to start fighting about release of a video of 415 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,360 Speaker 1: him blowing up drug smugglers. He wants do you understand 416 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,200 Speaker 1: how stupid that he is? And Democrats are going to 417 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 1: go for it. They think they've got a thing here, 418 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,159 Speaker 1: and it's a sixty forty issue. So anyway, I'm sorry. 419 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: I don't mean to go off on that other than 420 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 1: to make the point Democrats are going to try to 421 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 1: die on this hill. They can't stay focused. If I 422 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 1: were Democrats, not that I'm counseling them or are they 423 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,959 Speaker 1: listening to me, I'd stay with the affordability thing. It 424 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:46,200 Speaker 1: clearly irks Trump. He didn't like it, which is why 425 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 1: he's loading up the air force one, and he's headed 426 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 1: to Pennsylvania to start addressing this, and I say great, 427 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: He's going to do great with this too. So he's 428 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,440 Speaker 1: got them chasing their tails over there on the drug 429 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 1: boat thing, and he's going to hit the Trump the trail. 430 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,439 Speaker 1: He invited a farmer to the White House yesterday to 431 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,680 Speaker 1: discuss affordability in some ways in which he's trying to 432 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 1: help the farming community. Let's start with number twenty five 433 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 1: and the Democrats affordability miss. He says they inherited to 434 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: begin with. 435 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,159 Speaker 14: When gasoline comes down everything. It's such a big category 436 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 14: that when gasoline comes down, sort of everything sort of follows. 437 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:26,680 Speaker 14: But we inherited a mess affordability. But you can call 438 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:31,399 Speaker 14: it affordability or anything you want. But the Democrats caused 439 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:35,440 Speaker 14: the affordability problem, and we're the ones that are fixing it. 440 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:39,680 Speaker 14: So it's a very simple statement. They it, we're fixing it. 441 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,639 Speaker 14: And they have a tendency to just say this election 442 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 14: is based on affordability, and nobody questions him, John, you know, 443 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,719 Speaker 14: nobody says, well, what do you mean by that? But 444 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 14: they just say the word. They never said anything else 445 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 14: because they caused the problem. 446 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 9: But we're fixing the problem. 447 00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: Okay, so this lends credibility to the sky. Adams point 448 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 1: that he's they're trying to take this word back and 449 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 1: they're going to keep forcing the issue. Note that he 450 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: referenced the election, so it's interesting his mind is already 451 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 1: in election mode. They are clearly already thinking about midterms. 452 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 1: We played for you Susie Wiles, who said he's going 453 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 1: to hit the stump. So he's engaged, and I think 454 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: Adams is probably right here. They think that they can 455 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,960 Speaker 1: take this word back and they can force the discussion 456 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,879 Speaker 1: of affordability, and when that discussion happens, it's going to 457 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,879 Speaker 1: force a discussion on why are things such a mess? 458 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 1: Is it Trump? What caused us to get here? 459 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:35,399 Speaker 9: Now? 460 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,879 Speaker 1: I don't know. People will often just blame whoever's in 461 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 1: charge for their financial troubles if in fact they're having them. 462 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 1: But President Trump invited a farmer to the White House 463 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 1: to explain, Yeah, it's tough, but I actually have faith 464 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 1: the guy is fixing it. This was an interesting moment yesterday. 465 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 1: Listen to number twenty six. 466 00:23:56,359 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 15: I lost my grandfather and our hard hand on thousand 467 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 15: and two in a farming accident, and he instilled in 468 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 15: me at an early age to love the land, to 469 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:10,919 Speaker 15: take pride in what we do. 470 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:12,879 Speaker 9: Is that a machine accident. 471 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:17,199 Speaker 15: It was a machine accident, and it gets in your 472 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 15: blood to farm. 473 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 9: It's in our blood. Despite what happened. I want my 474 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:25,439 Speaker 9: two year old to farm. 475 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,680 Speaker 15: I want my four month old daughter to have an opportunity. 476 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 9: And what you're doing here in DC is working. 477 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,440 Speaker 15: You have a backbone to stand up to other countries 478 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 15: for trade. You're getting things done, tax provisions. I'll be 479 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 15: able to potentially pass on a farm to my children 480 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 15: because of you. 481 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:50,879 Speaker 9: Ethanol, you're working for. 482 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:55,119 Speaker 15: Ethanol, trying to get E fifteen year round. We're dealing 483 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 15: with California Prop. 484 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 9: Twelve. Let's continue your work on that. 485 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 15: I think we can have a lot of domestic product 486 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 15: used here in the country and we can keep America first. 487 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 9: And you're good at that. That is that is who 488 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:11,400 Speaker 9: you are. 489 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,439 Speaker 15: And if we keep that E fifteen you could have 490 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 15: this bigg as fifteen as a big deal. 491 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 9: E fifteen is a great deal year round. Okay, you 492 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:19,919 Speaker 9: could have the biggest right. 493 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: So, and this went on for a bit, but here's 494 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 1: the brilliance in this. This is where President Trump's instincts 495 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 1: are so good, and this is what got him to 496 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 1: the White House the first time and now a second time. 497 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:35,199 Speaker 1: He brings up real people, leading real lives, living the 498 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 1: real economy, living the real business decisions that he is 499 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: making at the executive level right now, particularly on items 500 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: like trade. Trump to send twelve billion dollar tariff revenue 501 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,919 Speaker 1: to farmers. So President Trump is sending a bit of 502 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 1: a bandage here, using tariff money to do it for 503 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: farmers while he turns the screws to other countries to 504 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,919 Speaker 1: force their hand to take more of our agricultural products. 505 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 1: And what does he do. He brings in a real 506 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 1: life farmer to explain why. I get it. We get 507 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 1: what you're doing. It is working.

That is a real guy from the 511 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 1: real agricultural sector sitting next to Trump telling the country 512 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 1: in front of the press and everybody, We're with you. 513 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:23,919 Speaker 1: This is what Trump does better than anybody. And I 514 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 1: will almost bet you his stop in Pennsylvania is going 515 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:32,399 Speaker 1: to feature Pennsylvanian standing alongside of him telling him. I 516 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 1: know you're fighting. I know right now things look a 517 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 1: little tough, but we're with you. We know what you're 518 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:41,879 Speaker 1: doing is working. It's working well. Dave Ramsey, our buddy 519 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 1: who hosts you know, well everybody knows Dave Ramsey, the 520 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,879 Speaker 1: bunny man. Dave said yesterday on his show, I'll have 521 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 1: this for you in a minute. He and if ever 522 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: there was somebody who's paying attention to people and affordability, 523 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 1: it's Dave Ramsey. He says that it's largely a media 524 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 1: fiction to begin with. Here's that clip of Dave Ramsey 525 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 1: I was mentioned, and give me number twenty eight. Here 526 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 1: Paul saying that he on this affordability issue. He doesn't 527 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:08,880 Speaker 1: hear it from his own callers. And these are people 528 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 1: who are usually up in up to their eyeballs in debt. 529 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 16: Listen, prustrates are down and gas prices are down below 530 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 16: three dollars in most places. 531 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,159 Speaker 1: The economy seems to be. 532 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,479 Speaker 16: The people were talking to are really not having huge, 533 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 16: serious affordability problems. There's a lot of talking heads, a 534 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 16: lot of squawking about that, but most of that's political. 535 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 1: Now, I you know, Ramsey's not a guy who FIBs 536 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: about this stuff. He's usually a straight shooter, so I 537 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,400 Speaker 1: have no reason to doubt Dave if that's his assessment. 538 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 1: Like I said, all he does is talk to is. 539 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 1: These are his words broke people. So he says that 540 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 1: it's largely exaggerated. Let me go out to Colorado talk 541 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 1: to Steve, who's been waiting patiently. Hey Steve, Merry Christmas, 542 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:54,160 Speaker 1: thanks for calling. 543 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:54,359 Speaker 14: Hi. 544 00:27:55,200 --> 00:28:00,440 Speaker 17: Hey Chris, good morning, Good morning. So yeah, I was 545 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 17: telling your producer and I've been driving in over a 546 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 17: decade now commercial and I don't think i've ever seen, honestly, 547 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,440 Speaker 17: even in this first term, I don't even know if 548 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 17: diesel hit. I just paid two ninety nine gallon for diesel? 549 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 1: Is that good? 550 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:22,159 Speaker 17: Colorado? That's insane. It was so bad during the Biden 551 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:27,200 Speaker 17: Biden years that our company limited us to only two 552 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:31,679 Speaker 17: different gas companies in the entire state in order to 553 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:33,200 Speaker 17: try and control prices. 554 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:37,879 Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah, they had they had a contract with a 555 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 1: certain provider for fuel exactly, and. 556 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 17: It really it really affected our and honestly, it drove 557 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 17: us all crazy because we could no longer just go 558 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 17: to where it was convenient. We'd have to go to 559 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 17: where a lot of the you know, cross country, fifty 560 00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 17: three foot trailers going in where we'd sit and wait, 561 00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 17: you know, thirty and it's thirty five minutes before we'd 562 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 17: even get to a fuel tank. So yeah, it's amazing 563 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 17: what President Trump is doing. I've been backing, remember since 564 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:11,880 Speaker 17: he came down the Golden Escalator. 565 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 1: So you guys in trucking by and large, that is 566 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 1: that your sense of it? With others that haul that 567 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 1: they're feeling that same result. 568 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 17: I think they definitely will because I would see a 569 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 17: lot of the guys in the big fifty threes. I 570 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 17: mean you can just see it in their face back 571 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 17: in the day, how much you know, dumping over a 572 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 17: thousand dollars to fill their tank. 573 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 1: And make no mistakes, Scott, that that does I mean, 574 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 1: and I'm not making you have to be a villain, 575 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 1: it's just math. It's business that does add to costs 576 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,160 Speaker 1: of the things that you're hauling. I mean that that 577 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,600 Speaker 1: gets passed on to your customer because it has to. 578 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 1: You can't just absorb that right. 579 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 17: Absolutely, And that's where I'm wondering. I don't know if 580 00:29:55,720 --> 00:30:00,080 Speaker 17: you've heard anything. I'm hoping that the Trump administrators is 581 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 17: going to start getting on top of the big grocery 582 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:07,720 Speaker 17: chains and putting some pressure on them. Very interesting, like 583 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 17: you covered it the other day. You know, you don't 584 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 17: necessarily ever see prices go down, yep. 585 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 1: But yeah, well listen, Steve, I'll tell you one thing 586 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 1: we are. You know, we're going to talk with the 587 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 1: EPA administrator today about energy and what you just brought up. 588 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 1: And thank you for the perspective. As as far as 589 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 1: agriculture goes, you know, President Trump taking some of this 590 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 1: tariff money, trying to at least help the farmers, the 591 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:36,320 Speaker 1: grocery stores and producers of meat. We know that he 592 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 1: is actually having He's got DOJ looking into the big 593 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 1: four meat packing companies who also packed chicken and pork. 594 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 1: He's investigating them right now from monopolistic practices. So we'll see. 595 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 1: I do think there's some movement there. I can't confirm 596 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 1: exactly what, but yeah, we'll continue to watch it. And 597 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,080 Speaker 1: I appreciate the perspective.

Eddie said, I want to 675 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:32,919 Speaker 1: try it. I said, it's almost the holidays. He said, 676 00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:34,480 Speaker 1: I don't care. I want to try it. And he's 677 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,600 Speaker 1: lost eight pounds in two weeks time. He works with 678 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 1: his counselor the same as I work with my counselor. 679 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,359 Speaker 1: I've kept the weight off. I'm going to probably go 680 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,840 Speaker 1: for another twenty in the new year. But the point 681 00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:48,040 Speaker 1: is right now, I've hit idle on purpose. I'm maintaining 682 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:51,560 Speaker 1: my weight loss because my counselor at PhD Weight Loss 683 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:55,760 Speaker 1: has taught me exactly what I need to do to maintain, maintain, 684 00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:57,640 Speaker 1: and then when I want to re engage and kick 685 00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,320 Speaker 1: it into full gear and start losing more than the 686 00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,319 Speaker 1: new year I can. The best part about PhD weight 687 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,480 Speaker 1: loss this time of year is they're very well aware 688 00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:07,040 Speaker 1: this is a hard time to get people motivated to 689 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,600 Speaker 1: lose weight.

This will be now. 697 00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,440 Speaker 1: Everybody's going to start trying to lose weight in January. 698 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:30,719 Speaker 1: Everybody will call and you're not going to get a 699 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,799 Speaker 1: deal like this. Then you start this program.

I've kind of limped in and tried that scene, 732 00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,480 Speaker 1: even though I feel weird about handing over all of 733 00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:18,360 Speaker 1: my intel to China.

If you ever had the time, head 737 00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:27,799 Speaker 1: over to Christigall dot comment. It's all there, as well 738 00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:31,440 Speaker 1: as my three times a week newsletter, The Harumf Society, 739 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:34,560 Speaker 1: where yesterday I continued to talk about something that I 740 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,319 Speaker 1: brought up I think on this show last week. I 741 00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:40,160 Speaker 1: forget sometimes whether I brought it up exclusively to Hrrumfer's 742 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,840 Speaker 1: or whether I brought it up here or both. Revelation addiction, 743 00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:49,720 Speaker 1: and it is something that is if you're on social media, 744 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,120 Speaker 1: and again I stipulate if you're not, or you don't 745 00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,880 Speaker 1: spend a ton of time on social media, even Harrumfers 746 00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,960 Speaker 1: who I surveyed and I asked, are you following all 747 00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:03,279 Speaker 1: of this personality driven back and forth between podcasters and 748 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:07,960 Speaker 1: digital streamers whose names you know, some people love it 749 00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:09,799 Speaker 1: when you name names because they like the food fight. 750 00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:13,600 Speaker 1: They're addicted to the food fight. They want the food fight, revelation, addiction. 751 00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:20,920 Speaker 1: There is a cottage industry growing by leaps and bounds. 752 00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:27,040 Speaker 1: It just is creating their own little podcast Netflix series. 753 00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:33,120 Speaker 1: Tune in to the next episode and find out whether 754 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:37,160 Speaker 1: she is accusing her or him of this or that. 755 00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,400 Speaker 1: Find out tomorrow if he is sitting with him for 756 00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:43,279 Speaker 1: this interview, and then they can join force. And you 757 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:47,440 Speaker 1: know what it is. It's WWE. I mean Fasted I 758 00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:51,200 Speaker 1: said last week. This world that's being created out there 759 00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:54,440 Speaker 1: in the podcast space, and it's smart. I'm actually not 760 00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:59,080 Speaker 1: maligning it. It's very very smart. They're creating fan fiction drama. 761 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:02,560 Speaker 1: This is exactly what the WWE storyline is. It's just 762 00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,080 Speaker 1: now in podcast and digital streaming form. 763 00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:09,600 Speaker 7: Oh absolutely, yes, you could see it see it from 764 00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:11,840 Speaker 7: downtown too, especially in the headlines. 765 00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:16,160 Speaker 1: But some people take it very seriously. Yes, they live 766 00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:18,320 Speaker 1: it and they're getting emotional about it. And it leads 767 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,080 Speaker 1: to people like Tim Poole's home being shot at Ed 768 00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:25,040 Speaker 1: and This is where it's starting to get very, very troubling, 769 00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,440 Speaker 1: and why I've talked about this being an addiction that 770 00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:31,759 Speaker 1: becomes a problem like most addictions do. Tim Poole is 771 00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:35,480 Speaker 1: a big, big fish in the digital download space, in 772 00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:37,960 Speaker 1: the streaming space, in the podcast space. He's been on 773 00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:39,879 Speaker 1: this show a couple of times. I think I don't 774 00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:45,200 Speaker 1: know him. He's come out swinging at people like Candice Owens. 775 00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:53,480 Speaker 1: And as such, last weekend or late last week, in 776 00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:56,960 Speaker 1: the dark of night, somebody comes along and takes physical 777 00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:00,120 Speaker 1: gunshots to his house. Give me number thirte. 778 00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:04,440 Speaker 9: So where does that leave us. 779 00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:09,279 Speaker 4: We have two weeks left in the year before we 780 00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:12,200 Speaker 4: go on our Christmas hiatus. You know, I'm not a 781 00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:15,120 Speaker 4: big fan of any kind of hiatus. I would prefer 782 00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:18,160 Speaker 4: just to work. But it is taxing. It is grueling, 783 00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:22,840 Speaker 4: of course, and there's a lot of infrastructure here that 784 00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:28,120 Speaker 4: requires me to work all day every day, Monday to Friday, 785 00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:32,560 Speaker 4: with some extra work on the weekends, usually meetings. And 786 00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:40,560 Speaker 4: I'm probably gonna have a stroke. My uh, my house 787 00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:43,120 Speaker 4: is actually pretty good. My blood pressure is great, my 788 00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,319 Speaker 4: heart right resting heart rate is actually around you know, 789 00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:45,839 Speaker 4: forty five. 790 00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:46,879 Speaker 1: I exercise quite a bit. 791 00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,120 Speaker 4: Haven't been able to skate in the past month or 792 00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:54,799 Speaker 4: two the holidays, and you know, but we have to 793 00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:59,040 Speaker 4: have these conversations. And I have been with thee our 794 00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:00,440 Speaker 4: contractors people work with. 795 00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:03,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, and so he went on to talk about why 796 00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:05,400 Speaker 1: he may just hang it up, I mean, because his 797 00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:12,400 Speaker 1: family's being shot at. Told you yesterday, there's a new 798 00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:14,960 Speaker 1: survey out there that says words, young people think words 799 00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:18,000 Speaker 1: are violence. And as such, if you think that, what 800 00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:20,920 Speaker 1: must you do? You're gonna have to take matters into 801 00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:25,239 Speaker 1: your own hands, right, stop the violence with violence. Tim 802 00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:27,640 Speaker 1: Poole speaks for a living that's all just like me. 803 00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:31,200 Speaker 1: But there are people that are now becoming so slavishly 804 00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:36,120 Speaker 1: loyal to this Netflix drama, this fakery, this wrestling match 805 00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,880 Speaker 1: that's playing out, this fictitious world that people like Candice 806 00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:42,759 Speaker 1: Owens are building. So I want to just put the 807 00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:46,600 Speaker 1: truth up front. There is a very new spiritual and 808 00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:52,760 Speaker 1: psychological sickness gripping particularly American young men, and I've named 809 00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:58,799 Speaker 1: it revelation addiction, and it's pulling them toward very destructive 810 00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:04,040 Speaker 1: moments fueled by the very same poisonous route. And that's envy. 811 00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:08,640 Speaker 1: And if you were reading my Harump Society letter last week. 812 00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:14,000 Speaker 1: You know my Thanksgiving column I wrote about my nineteen 813 00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:20,160 Speaker 1: year old son, a thoughtful, skeptical, genuinely critical thinker, who 814 00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:24,640 Speaker 1: looked up at me during breakfast to make conversation and said, 815 00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,840 Speaker 1: very seriously, so, Dad, what do you think about the Jews? 816 00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:36,040 Speaker 1: And not in hostility, not in confusion. But it's because 817 00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:38,680 Speaker 1: every young man with a phone is being hit from 818 00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:43,520 Speaker 1: all sides by conspiracy grifters and antisemitic tropes and bitterness 819 00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:48,280 Speaker 1: and influencers whatever that word means, who profit by keeping 820 00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:51,399 Speaker 1: them angry all the time, so angry that apparently they'll 821 00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:52,840 Speaker 1: pick up a gun and shoot it at a guy's 822 00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:55,279 Speaker 1: house if he speaks out against it. I'm mindful of 823 00:42:55,280 --> 00:43:03,160 Speaker 1: that revelation addiction. I've been watching this for years. It's 824 00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:07,480 Speaker 1: the compulsive hunt for the next secret truth, the next expose, 825 00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:15,480 Speaker 1: the next villain supposedly responsible for your problems. It isn't stupidity, folks, 826 00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:22,520 Speaker 1: It's spiritually weaponized anger. It keeps young men scrolling for vindication, 827 00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:30,640 Speaker 1: not wisdom. It rewards intensity over accuracy, it rewards outrage 828 00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:37,200 Speaker 1: over understanding, and if it's left untreated, revelation addiction becomes 829 00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:42,279 Speaker 1: the gateway drug to the two movements now competing for 830 00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:46,719 Speaker 1: the souls of particularly young men in this country, socialism 831 00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:51,120 Speaker 1: on the left, the Zaronmandami types, and then the grievance 832 00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:53,239 Speaker 1: grifters who claim to be on the right, though I 833 00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:55,360 Speaker 1: don't really know that they are necessarily and you know 834 00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:57,040 Speaker 1: their names. I'm not going to do it, but they 835 00:43:57,120 --> 00:44:01,040 Speaker 1: become a booming cottage industry of rage pedaling without solutions. 836 00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:03,440 Speaker 1: And by the way, there's some new evidence to suggest 837 00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:05,880 Speaker 1: at least one of them is in fact being artificially 838 00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:10,319 Speaker 1: propped up and shopped by foreign entities entirely online. But 839 00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:13,400 Speaker 1: these two forces pretend to hate each other, you know, 840 00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:17,000 Speaker 1: but they're preaching the same sermon. Some of these people 841 00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:19,399 Speaker 1: that are supposedly on the right and the Zoramandami types, 842 00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:22,040 Speaker 1: they're really not at odds. They say the same thing. 843 00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:25,360 Speaker 1: You've been wronged, someone stole what should have been yours, 844 00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:27,640 Speaker 1: and you should be pissed about it, and we should 845 00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:32,640 Speaker 1: all pick take up arms, maybe literally, And that's called envy. 846 00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:37,640 Speaker 1: The Bible calls it covetousness, psychology calls it resentment, politics 847 00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:41,040 Speaker 1: calls it a movement. Whatever you want to label it, 848 00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:45,280 Speaker 1: it is destructive. It does nothing but destroy. The left 849 00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:52,120 Speaker 1: weaponizes envy by moralizing mediocrity. Success, of course, is exploitation. 850 00:44:52,440 --> 00:45:00,279 Speaker 1: Achievement is oppression, Inequality is injustice. They don't just pit 851 00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:04,440 Speaker 1: the poor against the rich. They drag everyone toward the 852 00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:11,920 Speaker 1: same resentful middle. The grievance grifters. They weaponize envy inward 853 00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:18,120 Speaker 1: against our own allies, against Jewish people, against conservatives, against 854 00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:21,520 Speaker 1: anyone who's had success, or anyone that's had a modicum 855 00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:24,880 Speaker 1: of respect. It's divisive. It doesn't build up, it doesn't 856 00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:28,719 Speaker 1: offer solutions. I've told you that whereas free markets do 857 00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:33,359 Speaker 1: the opposite. They take the natural desire to improve your 858 00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:40,960 Speaker 1: life and redeem it, work, build, create. None of that 859 00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:45,920 Speaker 1: is going on with the grievance grifters. Socialism, of course, 860 00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:50,319 Speaker 1: collapses because it feeds envy. The grifters corrode the right 861 00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:55,319 Speaker 1: for the very same reason. Free enterprise survives because it 862 00:45:55,440 --> 00:46:03,480 Speaker 1: redirects human longing toward ownership and responsible and growth. And 863 00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:08,239 Speaker 1: that's why this is the third, fourth, fifth time I'm 864 00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:14,200 Speaker 1: addressing this because for the first time, socialism and fringe 865 00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:17,799 Speaker 1: influencers supposedly on our side are feeding off the same 866 00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:23,680 Speaker 1: spiritual poison in an attempt to fracture these young men 867 00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:29,640 Speaker 1: who have recently voted Trump. By the way revelation addiction, 868 00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:34,840 Speaker 1: it primes this group for socialism because both offer the 869 00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:38,880 Speaker 1: same counterfeit comfort. You're a victim, someone else's to blame, 870 00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:43,320 Speaker 1: and your salvation comes from exposing or punishing the villain. 871 00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:48,720 Speaker 1: One offers the thrill of hidden knowledge. The other, of course, 872 00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:53,080 Speaker 1: offers the thrill of state revenge getting even. Neither requires 873 00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:59,240 Speaker 1: any responsibility, neither produces anything, and of course both hollow 874 00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:06,000 Speaker 1: out a generation starving for purpose. I have more on 875 00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:09,480 Speaker 1: this in a minute. Hang on, just to close the 876 00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:13,080 Speaker 1: loop on my thoughts here, Tim Poole, a podcaster who's 877 00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:16,520 Speaker 1: pretty well liked and well known and built a hell 878 00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:19,720 Speaker 1: of a following, His home was shot at over the weekend. 879 00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:24,400 Speaker 1: And the only thing that Tim Poole's done differently is 880 00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:30,400 Speaker 1: dare speak out about Candace Owens. And it struck me 881 00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:34,680 Speaker 1: again how dangerous it is that there are people listening 882 00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:37,279 Speaker 1: to that woman that are now driven to pick up 883 00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:39,799 Speaker 1: a gun and shoot at Tim Poole's house because he 884 00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:44,440 Speaker 1: says he thinks she's full of excrement. So this is 885 00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:47,160 Speaker 1: no longer about the left anymore. This is about some 886 00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:50,080 Speaker 1: who claim to be on what I thought was the right. 887 00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:52,719 Speaker 1: I don't know what you call Candace anymore. I don't 888 00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:54,480 Speaker 1: know if you can call her a conservative. I think 889 00:47:54,480 --> 00:48:01,960 Speaker 1: she feeds revelation addiction. It primes young men, and she's 890 00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:04,279 Speaker 1: not alone, by the way. It is an industry now. 891 00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:08,839 Speaker 1: It primes young men for socialism, just the same as 892 00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:11,160 Speaker 1: leftists who outright own it and say that's what they 893 00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:14,319 Speaker 1: believe in command and control economies, because both offer that 894 00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:19,680 Speaker 1: very same lie. You're a victim and someone else's to blame, 895 00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:22,799 Speaker 1: and the only thing we can do about it is 896 00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:27,040 Speaker 1: punish the villain who made you the victim. Again, it 897 00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:31,239 Speaker 1: doesn't build anyone up. It doesn't create anything. It just 898 00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:35,480 Speaker 1: offers the thrill or the hit of being in on 899 00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:37,799 Speaker 1: the inside and here's the real truth, and here's what 900 00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:40,560 Speaker 1: they're not telling you. It also offers the thrill of 901 00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:43,440 Speaker 1: getting revenge on people, but it doesn't require any kind 902 00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:48,400 Speaker 1: of responsibility whatsoever and produces absolutely nothing. And I understand 903 00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:51,200 Speaker 1: it's appeal particularly to young men, because you've got a 904 00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:56,200 Speaker 1: generation starving for purpose. They've been hollowed out in many ways, 905 00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:58,399 Speaker 1: and I get it. Look at what these young men 906 00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:03,760 Speaker 1: in particular are caring around with them inflation, student debt, 907 00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:09,719 Speaker 1: no path to homeownership. They've been humiliated culturally, they were 908 00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:16,279 Speaker 1: lied to and their childhoods robbed during COVID institutions to 909 00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:21,160 Speaker 1: numerous account have failed them and betrayed them. And they're 910 00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:26,480 Speaker 1: yearning for a desperate, desperate sense of meaning and purpose, 911 00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:28,600 Speaker 1: which many of them are getting to church and amen 912 00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:32,320 Speaker 1: for that. But this anger, if it doesn't have an outlet, 913 00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:36,239 Speaker 1: this revelation addiction, as I call it, it supplies an 914 00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:39,600 Speaker 1: outlet the next conspiracy or the next villain, or the 915 00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:43,439 Speaker 1: next target like Tim Poole, and the grifters line up 916 00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:47,839 Speaker 1: to feed the algorithm. So I returned to the theme 917 00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:51,680 Speaker 1: of envy, not as an economic point but as a 918 00:49:51,719 --> 00:50:00,560 Speaker 1: spiritual diagnosis. Here, socialism weaponizes envy, and the grifters monetize envy. 919 00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:06,480 Speaker 1: Free markets redirect envy into creating something, building something, making something. 920 00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:11,719 Speaker 1: The Stigall Plan, if I may rather brilliant look it up. 921 00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:16,399 Speaker 1: I've written about it not because it's policy, though it is, 922 00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:19,960 Speaker 1: but because it's the opposite spirit of socialism and the 923 00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:24,000 Speaker 1: grifter economy. It says to young Americans, you don't need 924 00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:28,160 Speaker 1: to burn anything down. You don't need to resent successful people. 925 00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:34,520 Speaker 1: You don't need conspiracies to feel alive. You can build, 926 00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:41,560 Speaker 1: you can own, you can prosper. It turns envy into 927 00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:50,160 Speaker 1: partnership and resentment into opportunity and ownership. It offers something addiction, revelation. 928 00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:57,520 Speaker 1: Addiction never will a real future is ornament. It's the 929 00:50:57,600 --> 00:51:02,040 Speaker 1: perfect stocking stuffer. Stuff it right and you're stocking if 930 00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:05,120 Speaker 1: it fits. It's Colonel Kurt Schlickter and his brand new book. 931 00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:09,400 Speaker 1: He's back with Panama Red. It's the latest installment of 932 00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:12,480 Speaker 1: his Kelly Turnbull series and he's with me. Merry Christmas, 933 00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:17,400 Speaker 1: Colonel Hoy, congratulations on yet another huge success. It drops today. 934 00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:22,720 Speaker 3: Well thank you. It's selling like Yeo. At Hunter Biden's 935 00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:23,879 Speaker 3: birthday party. 936 00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:30,040 Speaker 1: I really I have to say, yeah, you could have. 937 00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:33,560 Speaker 3: I could have gone with Bolivian marcher powder. I went 938 00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:35,480 Speaker 3: Yeo's that's me. 939 00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:37,080 Speaker 1: You speak. 940 00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:40,439 Speaker 3: Everybody else goes here, but I go all the way 941 00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:40,919 Speaker 3: over there. 942 00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:46,200 Speaker 1: You speak the lingo of the of the those Venezuelan 943 00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:53,600 Speaker 1: drug boat guys. Good job, yeah, which I do want 944 00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:54,920 Speaker 1: to get into that in a minute. But first of 945 00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:57,759 Speaker 1: all nine of these, now you write books like most 946 00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:00,680 Speaker 1: other guys do laundry, like you really, you can crank 947 00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:01,839 Speaker 1: out a good book quick, then. 948 00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:04,400 Speaker 9: Don't do laundry. What are you a char woman? 949 00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:12,920 Speaker 3: A Scullory made laundry. 950 00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:15,200 Speaker 1: Well, I just I guess I was hoping, So maybe 951 00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:18,840 Speaker 1: all right, shower or shade brush teeth to go with it. 952 00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:21,239 Speaker 1: My point is, you do it fast. You write a 953 00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:24,280 Speaker 1: book fast. You write the damn books fast. You've written 954 00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:27,279 Speaker 1: nine of the damn books. That's my point. I go 955 00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:33,719 Speaker 1: faster in a Bullwark wedding night. Why should people go 956 00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:34,320 Speaker 1: right in? 957 00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:38,719 Speaker 3: But I actually at the end, you're actually satisfied with 958 00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:39,640 Speaker 3: my climax. 959 00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:47,239 Speaker 1: So here's the thing. If people have, if books we have, 960 00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:49,759 Speaker 1: we have the worst delay. This is like you're on 961 00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:51,960 Speaker 1: the moon and I'm on Neptune and we're trying to 962 00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:55,200 Speaker 1: communicate like it's nineteen sixty. I'm not entirely sure why 963 00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:57,399 Speaker 1: you can't hear me. I can't hear you. This will 964 00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:04,799 Speaker 1: be a long conversations. Yeah, so tell the people why 965 00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:09,439 Speaker 1: they should order your ninth installment, colonel. 966 00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:10,959 Speaker 3: Because it's about as much fun as our discussion here. 967 00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:18,920 Speaker 3: I mean, for the listener. What Andrew Breitbart was the 968 00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:21,120 Speaker 3: guy who dragged me into this thing, right. I thought 969 00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:23,120 Speaker 3: I was out, but he kept pulling me back in, 970 00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:25,520 Speaker 3: and he said, we got to make our own culture. 971 00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:28,239 Speaker 9: So let's make our own culture. Right. I decided. You know, 972 00:53:28,560 --> 00:53:28,920 Speaker 9: I was. 973 00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:34,360 Speaker 3: Reading books by short never Trump writers, and I was like, 974 00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:36,880 Speaker 3: these spine novels are boring. It's the same thing all 975 00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:40,560 Speaker 3: the time, and I find them tiresome and I would 976 00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:43,319 Speaker 3: throw them across my house. And then I said, well, 977 00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:45,560 Speaker 3: why don't I write one that I'd like to read? 978 00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:48,719 Speaker 3: And I ended up writing People's Republic, which is right 979 00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:52,280 Speaker 3: behind me. That's the first of the nine introducing Kelly Turnbull. 980 00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:55,080 Speaker 3: And he likes to shoot people, and he likes to 981 00:53:55,280 --> 00:54:00,839 Speaker 3: encounter situations that are either intriguing, interesting, or his hilarious, 982 00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:04,400 Speaker 3: and so there's a lot of laughs. There's occasional cameos 983 00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:06,440 Speaker 3: from my pals. I think you've shown up in a couple. 984 00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:09,799 Speaker 3: I don't think you show up in Panama Read. But 985 00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:14,080 Speaker 3: Larry O'Connor does in a very, uh, very interesting way. 986 00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:16,879 Speaker 3: Dennis Miller.

I was 1051 00:57:14,239 --> 00:57:16,880 Speaker 3: a chemical warfare office. Or I'll give you a spoiler. 1052 00:57:17,080 --> 00:57:20,560 Speaker 3: Mustard gas very bad.

It's 1054 00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:29,040 Speaker 3: like you or me on a conservative cruise. You don't 1055 00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:34,640 Speaker 3: want that. So could you blow that boat up? And 1056 00:57:35,160 --> 00:57:38,080 Speaker 3: I'm hoping our Democrat friends would say, why no, you 1057 00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:39,320 Speaker 3: need to convene a. 1058 00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:42,520 Speaker 9: Court of law to analyze the. 1059 00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:46,800 Speaker 18: Modalities of the Geneva Conventions and the loved On conflict 1060 00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:49,040 Speaker 18: which I am now an expert on, having been an 1061 00:57:49,080 --> 00:57:53,360 Speaker 18: expert on COVID during our epidemiology during COVID and terraffs 1062 00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:58,160 Speaker 18: during economics during the teriff, then I am now an. 1063 00:57:58,040 --> 00:58:00,440 Speaker 9: Expert on the law of war, and I would why 1064 00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:03,360 Speaker 9: would declare no, you can't please take that position. 1065 00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:09,160 Speaker 3: Please, but you know, the difference between mustard gas and 1066 00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:12,240 Speaker 3: the poisons that the drug tailers are bringing in is 1067 00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:15,840 Speaker 3: that mustard gas is killed exactly zero Americans in the 1068 00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:20,520 Speaker 3: last year, and a fentanyl and cocaine, yes, cocaine has 1069 00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:25,560 Speaker 3: killed people killed nearly one hundred thousand. So if we're 1070 00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:28,960 Speaker 3: doing you know, if you want to analyze it, if 1071 00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:34,120 Speaker 3: you want to rationally discuss the situation, bombs away. If 1072 00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:38,720 Speaker 3: you're a sissy fenboy who'd rather Americans die then drug 1073 00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:42,920 Speaker 3: dealers die, well, I'm sure you're vote for Kamala Harris. 1074 00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:47,720 Speaker 1: So just so I'm clear, because I don't I'm with 1075 00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:50,280 Speaker 1: you one hundred percent. I don't feel even a little 1076 00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:55,120 Speaker 1: bit sorry for drug runners at c But Monny, just 1077 00:58:55,600 --> 00:59:01,120 Speaker 1: as a literal military matter, those in charge have already 1078 00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:04,080 Speaker 1: said Pete heggsith one hundred percent didn't tell us any 1079 00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:08,040 Speaker 1: such thing. So whatever that means. Then it's on what 1080 00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:11,280 Speaker 1: immediate leadership, whether it's a problem or whether it's not. 1081 00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:13,760 Speaker 1: They're saying Hexith didn't give any such order, So what's 1082 00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:14,160 Speaker 1: that mean. 1083 00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:17,760 Speaker 3: Well, the commander is responsible for anything he does or doesn't. 1084 00:59:17,960 --> 00:59:19,680 Speaker 3: It doesn't matter if he has a jag there or not. 1085 00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:24,720 Speaker 3: He is responsible. He didn't do the commander did not 1086 00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:27,280 Speaker 3: do anything wrong. The commander wrought again him medal, a 1087 00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:30,720 Speaker 3: high five. And if he singled to a brand of 1088 00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:32,760 Speaker 3: Stewardess's to hang in a hot club. 1089 00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:36,040 Speaker 1: Well, now that's my next question. Here's my next question. 1090 00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:38,640 Speaker 1: So he's the commander and he decides to take those 1091 00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:41,040 Speaker 1: two guys bobbing around that we didn't hit, take them 1092 00:59:41,040 --> 00:59:45,680 Speaker 1: out as well, in your view or literally in terms 1093 00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:48,520 Speaker 1: of military code of conduct, there's nothing wrong with that 1094 00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:50,080 Speaker 1: as you read it or understand it. 1095 00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:54,600 Speaker 3: Oh, I could care less. I hear people citing the 1096 00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:58,600 Speaker 3: Geneva Conventions. Geneva conventions. Are there are conventions? It's not 1097 00:59:58,680 --> 01:00:01,600 Speaker 3: the Geneva Convention. So my question is, well, which one 1098 01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:02,520 Speaker 3: are you talking about? 1099 01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:03,280 Speaker 9: Which one do you think? 1100 01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:06,760 Speaker 3: And then I asked, well, why do you think it's applicable? 1101 01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:10,680 Speaker 3: What's the nation state that these guys belong to as 1102 01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:14,760 Speaker 3: uniformed combatants as opposed to illegal combatants who get almost 1103 01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:19,480 Speaker 3: no rights that the reports to bind us, at which 1104 01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:22,880 Speaker 3: point they're they kind of look around or I shift, 1105 01:00:22,920 --> 01:00:27,240 Speaker 3: and then they call me a transpot. 1106 01:00:28,680 --> 01:00:30,520 Speaker 9: You are allowed to kill the enemy. 1107 01:00:31,160 --> 01:00:33,840 Speaker 3: Now, typically if you're bobbing in the water on flotsam 1108 01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:35,480 Speaker 3: and jets of typically we don't. 1109 01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:38,360 Speaker 9: There are plenty of good reasons to do it. 1110 01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:43,600 Speaker 3: But here the problem that they have are the facts, 1111 01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:46,520 Speaker 3: and the facts are that, well, you know, they blow 1112 01:00:46,560 --> 01:00:48,880 Speaker 3: up the boat. Boat didn't sink. Boats still there, they 1113 01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:53,080 Speaker 3: got back on the boat. Okay, it's a there's no 1114 01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:57,400 Speaker 3: one shot rule. You're allowed to destroy the boat and 1115 01:00:57,440 --> 01:00:59,760 Speaker 3: you're allowed to kill the enemy who's on it. And 1116 01:00:59,800 --> 01:01:03,960 Speaker 3: because the guys have been wounded doesn't matter, you fink. Look, 1117 01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:07,080 Speaker 3: when I was at Fort Benning, right at the infantry, 1118 01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:09,280 Speaker 3: I was trained. When you assault an ambush city, you 1119 01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:12,200 Speaker 3: know you have a kill zone. You launched the ambush 1120 01:01:12,200 --> 01:01:14,240 Speaker 3: and a kill zone. A bunch of people go down, 1121 01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:16,440 Speaker 3: and then you run through and you shoot everybody in 1122 01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:17,120 Speaker 3: the kill zone. 1123 01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:18,320 Speaker 9: Why do you do that? 1124 01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:20,600 Speaker 3: Because you don't want them to pop up and shoot 1125 01:01:20,640 --> 01:01:23,680 Speaker 3: you from behind? If they're only wounded. War is a 1126 01:01:23,840 --> 01:01:26,840 Speaker 3: mean thing. It involves hurting people. This is why we 1127 01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:30,680 Speaker 3: shouldn't do it lightly. You should have a good reason 1128 01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:33,760 Speaker 3: for going to war, like yesterday, when the anniversary the 1129 01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:38,520 Speaker 3: Japanese attacking Pearl Harbor, or scumbag cartel guy shipping in 1130 01:01:38,600 --> 01:01:41,680 Speaker 3: poison that kills nearly one hundred thousand Americans a year. 1131 01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:43,880 Speaker 3: You should have a good reason to do it. Because 1132 01:01:43,880 --> 01:01:47,480 Speaker 3: it's ugly. I don't. I'm no desire to hurt anybody. 1133 01:01:47,520 --> 01:01:49,800 Speaker 3: I'm no desire to kill anybody. I managed to never 1134 01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:51,960 Speaker 3: kill anybody when I was the Army, and I'm pretty 1135 01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:55,200 Speaker 3: happy about that worked out well for me. But at 1136 01:01:55,240 --> 01:01:57,200 Speaker 3: the end of the day, you're either going to defend 1137 01:01:57,240 --> 01:02:00,440 Speaker 3: your country or you're gonna be a sissy femboy watching 1138 01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:04,360 Speaker 3: the pool boy scam on your wife. Before you go 1139 01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:06,160 Speaker 3: back to scribbling for the Dispatch. 1140 01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:12,200 Speaker 1: The latest book Panama read Perfect for that Christmas gift, 1141 01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:15,160 Speaker 1: for that tough to shop for patriot in your life, 1142 01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:19,640 Speaker 1: Panama read the brand new book by Colonel Kurd Schlichter.

A little earlier, in the 1145 01:02:25,640 --> 01:02:28,640 Speaker 1: show I was talking about and I've been writing about 1146 01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:33,000 Speaker 1: at the rump society, revelation, addiction, and that young men 1147 01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:38,400 Speaker 1: are desperately looking for a future out there, and there 1148 01:02:38,760 --> 01:02:43,320 Speaker 1: is a sector of I'll just say, what we do 1149 01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:45,480 Speaker 1: for a living, what we do here, this show that 1150 01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:47,280 Speaker 1: we put on. There are people out there putting on 1151 01:02:47,360 --> 01:02:53,680 Speaker 1: shows like this who have no responsibility to anybody. They 1152 01:02:53,680 --> 01:02:56,520 Speaker 1: don't have to. They're not transparent necessarily about who funds 1153 01:02:56,560 --> 01:02:58,880 Speaker 1: their efforts. But what they peddle is a lot of 1154 01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:03,520 Speaker 1: divisiveness and a lot of rage, and quite frankly, it's 1155 01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:06,840 Speaker 1: led to some people's homes now being shot at because 1156 01:03:06,880 --> 01:03:10,080 Speaker 1: they dare speak out about it as I have. I'm 1157 01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:12,480 Speaker 1: mindful as I listened to a guy like Tim Poole 1158 01:03:12,560 --> 01:03:14,680 Speaker 1: talk about his home being shot at because he dared 1159 01:03:14,720 --> 01:03:18,160 Speaker 1: say something negative about gad Zowan's. It's like her minions 1160 01:03:18,200 --> 01:03:20,400 Speaker 1: are now picking up guns and shooting them at houses. 1161 01:03:20,720 --> 01:03:23,160 Speaker 1: Is that where we want to be as supposed conservatives? 1162 01:03:23,160 --> 01:03:25,200 Speaker 1: Assuming that's what she still calls herself. I don't know. 1163 01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:30,240 Speaker 1: Young men in this country face a real future, in 1164 01:03:30,280 --> 01:03:34,480 Speaker 1: particular young people, but young men in particular, hopefully many 1165 01:03:34,520 --> 01:03:37,280 Speaker 1: of them are turning to faith, leaning into the turning point, 1166 01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:41,000 Speaker 1: Charlie Kirkway. But it's very very clear that there are 1167 01:03:41,040 --> 01:03:48,480 Speaker 1: two versions of a future emerging, two distinctly different visions 1168 01:03:48,600 --> 01:03:56,760 Speaker 1: envy and grievance and division, or creation and responsibility and hope. Envy, 1169 01:03:57,720 --> 01:04:01,640 Speaker 1: grievance and division or creation, responsibility and hope. Those are 1170 01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:04,400 Speaker 1: the two visions that have emerged in this current era. 1171 01:04:05,040 --> 01:04:07,240 Speaker 1: I think President Trump is selling the latter out there 1172 01:04:07,240 --> 01:04:10,200 Speaker 1: on the campaign trail. I know what my choice is. 1173 01:04:11,320 --> 01:04:14,280 Speaker 1: I choose building, and I choose unity, and I choose 1174 01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:22,200 Speaker 1: prosperity rooted in faith, not in suspicion. En The destroys nations, 1175 01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:28,760 Speaker 1: it destroys cultures. Opportunity builds them up. And so all 1176 01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:32,040 Speaker 1: I would say is it's time we help young men 1177 01:04:33,240 --> 01:04:38,200 Speaker 1: put down the phones and streaming these podcasts of these 1178 01:04:38,360 --> 01:04:43,880 Speaker 1: grifters trying to divide and tear down or socialists who 1179 01:04:43,920 --> 01:04:46,480 Speaker 1: are trying to poison them with their ideology or both. 1180 01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:53,240 Speaker 1: Let's build. Let's build something President Trump. Guys like Scott Bessen, 1181 01:04:53,560 --> 01:04:56,240 Speaker 1: they're hitting the campaign trail, starting the day in Pennsylvania 1182 01:04:56,280 --> 01:04:59,760 Speaker 1: to sell a future of optimism and hope and building 1183 01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:04,200 Speaker 1: and investment solutions, not just rage and anger for the 1184 01:05:04,240 --> 01:05:10,280 Speaker 1: sake of being angry anyway. Eight five five Stigall's the 1185 01:05:10,280 --> 01:05:13,040 Speaker 1: telephone number. Can I say thank you from the bottom 1186 01:05:13,120 --> 01:05:15,240 Speaker 1: of my heart, thank you for what you did just yesterday. 1187 01:05:15,280 --> 01:05:19,760 Speaker 1: This audience is amazing. You nearly doubled the number of 1188 01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:22,120 Speaker 1: kids that we were able to help yesterday. Thanks to 1189 01:05:22,160 --> 01:05:25,000 Speaker 1: your generosity, we are trying to get through this Angel 1190 01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:28,640 Speaker 1: Tree campaign twenty six hundred kids a Christmas gift in 1191 01:05:28,680 --> 01:05:32,960 Speaker 1: their hands from their incarcerated parent. That comes from you. 1192 01:05:33,080 --> 01:05:35,080 Speaker 1: And I know a lot of you may say, you know, 1193 01:05:35,120 --> 01:05:36,680 Speaker 1: if you screwed up and you wind up in prison, 1194 01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:39,760 Speaker 1: that's not my problem. You're right, it's not. Neither are 1195 01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:43,200 Speaker 1: these people asking for your empathy or sympathy for prisoners. 1196 01:05:43,720 --> 01:05:47,320 Speaker 1: It's their children. And anybody who has missed a parent 1197 01:05:47,400 --> 01:05:50,600 Speaker 1: at Christmas time knows how painful that is. And if 1198 01:05:50,600 --> 01:05:53,439 Speaker 1: they're in prison and the child knows it even worse still, 1199 01:05:53,480 --> 01:05:55,560 Speaker 1: they think, does my parent even know or think about me. 1200 01:05:55,640 --> 01:05:58,760 Speaker 1: I've talked to people who've screwed up drugs or whatever 1201 01:05:58,800 --> 01:06:02,040 Speaker 1: and they've wound up in prison. They still have a family, 1202 01:06:02,080 --> 01:06:03,680 Speaker 1: they still care about their kids, and they don't want 1203 01:06:03,720 --> 01:06:06,360 Speaker 1: their kid to think they're forgotten. Can you help get 1204 01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:08,640 Speaker 1: a gift in their hand today and a handwritten note 1205 01:06:08,640 --> 01:06:12,360 Speaker 1: from their parent, and most of all a Bible.

Hey, 1209 01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:22,920 Speaker 1: good to be with you, folks. Welcome into this Tuesday 1210 01:06:23,080 --> 01:06:25,200 Speaker 1: edition of This de Gaulle Show. We're going to be 1211 01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:27,920 Speaker 1: heading to Tennessee, maybe to talk to the next governor. 1212 01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:30,360 Speaker 1: I think it's probably pretty likely that Marsha Blackburn, once 1213 01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:33,680 Speaker 1: she leaves her Senate post, she'll become the next governor 1214 01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:35,800 Speaker 1: of Tennessee. We always like to talk with her. She'll 1215 01:06:35,840 --> 01:06:37,840 Speaker 1: be with us. There's some interesting stuff cooking in the 1216 01:06:37,840 --> 01:06:41,560 Speaker 1: Senate and we'll talk with her about that. The latest 1217 01:06:41,560 --> 01:06:44,520 Speaker 1: on these Somali scammers. President Trump hits the campaign trail 1218 01:06:44,560 --> 01:06:48,880 Speaker 1: to talk affordability. He's actually swinging through Tennessee or excuse me, Pennsylvania, 1219 01:06:49,080 --> 01:06:50,800 Speaker 1: so we'll talk with them about that. One of the 1220 01:06:50,840 --> 01:06:53,880 Speaker 1: good news stories, the real time good news stories about 1221 01:06:53,880 --> 01:06:57,040 Speaker 1: the economy, despite whatever you're hearing is energy prices are 1222 01:06:57,200 --> 01:07:01,640 Speaker 1: falling precipitously and one of the guys getting energy development 1223 01:07:02,720 --> 01:07:04,360 Speaker 1: foot on the gas pedal front and center in the 1224 01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:07,920 Speaker 1: Trump administration is Lee Zelden. He's the EPA administrator and 1225 01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:09,920 Speaker 1: he will be with us this morning coming up in 1226 01:07:09,960 --> 01:07:12,480 Speaker 1: this hour Sit Tight. You heard me earlier this year, 1227 01:07:12,480 --> 01:07:16,280 Speaker 1: I hope, talking about our partnership with Prison Fellowship, the 1228 01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:20,080 Speaker 1: non for profit Christian organization that helps kids who have 1229 01:07:20,120 --> 01:07:24,840 Speaker 1: incarcerated parents enjoy a little fresh air and fun out 1230 01:07:24,880 --> 01:07:28,200 Speaker 1: in the open outdoors during summer camp. Well, they do 1231 01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:31,200 Speaker 1: great work at Christmas time too, and we're proud to 1232 01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:33,480 Speaker 1: partner with them again in what they call their Angel 1233 01:07:33,520 --> 01:07:38,120 Speaker 1: Tree Christmas campaign. You know, there are thousands of kids 1234 01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:40,800 Speaker 1: all over the country, through no fault of their own, 1235 01:07:40,840 --> 01:07:44,040 Speaker 1: who seewe or maybe even both of their parents incarcerated 1236 01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:46,800 Speaker 1: this time of year. And what a what a tough 1237 01:07:46,840 --> 01:07:49,440 Speaker 1: thing that is. You know, a child should be enjoying 1238 01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:53,600 Speaker 1: the Christmas season, and with something that heavy in their home, 1239 01:07:53,680 --> 01:07:55,920 Speaker 1: it's often difficult to do. What I love about Prison 1240 01:07:55,920 --> 01:07:59,120 Speaker 1: Fellowship is and what is so cool about what Angel 1241 01:07:59,120 --> 01:08:02,120 Speaker 1: Tree does. They take a thirty dollars donation that you 1242 01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:04,320 Speaker 1: give and they can turn that into a gift for 1243 01:08:04,400 --> 01:08:07,360 Speaker 1: a young person who may be struggling this Christmas.

That's a thirty dollars 1248 01:08:19,960 --> 01:08:23,439 Speaker 1: gift from you to a child who could really use 1249 01:08:23,520 --> 01:08:25,720 Speaker 1: some joy this Christmas.

Good Morning, Nashville, Tennessee. A community 1287 01:10:20,640 --> 01:10:23,000 Speaker 1: that you know. I guess it shouldn't surprise us. And 1288 01:10:23,080 --> 01:10:29,000 Speaker 1: that special election boy tilted blue for that lunatic, but 1289 01:10:29,080 --> 01:10:32,280 Speaker 1: that was it in that district. Otherwise, things went well 1290 01:10:32,400 --> 01:10:37,400 Speaker 1: for the Republicans in the special election last week. This lady, 1291 01:10:37,479 --> 01:10:38,920 Speaker 1: you know, well, she's been a guest of the show 1292 01:10:38,960 --> 01:10:41,320 Speaker 1: a number of times.

United States Senator Marshall Blackburn 1295 01:10:46,040 --> 01:10:48,080 Speaker 1: back with us. Senator, it's great to see you, and 1296 01:10:48,120 --> 01:10:48,839 Speaker 1: Merry Christmas. 1297 01:10:48,840 --> 01:10:54,559 Speaker 19: Good morning, and a merry Christmas to you, and good morning. 1298 01:10:54,640 --> 01:10:58,920 Speaker 1: Also, could I just pick your brain for a moment. 1299 01:10:58,960 --> 01:11:00,960 Speaker 1: I think it's kind of obvious. We all understand that 1300 01:11:01,040 --> 01:11:04,960 Speaker 1: major metropolitan cities are blue. That just is what it is. 1301 01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:06,960 Speaker 1: I think it's a reality no matter what red state 1302 01:11:07,040 --> 01:11:10,640 Speaker 1: or blue state you're in the concentrated populations are blue. 1303 01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:13,559 Speaker 1: Nashville is blue, isn't it. That's just a fact. 1304 01:11:15,680 --> 01:11:19,360 Speaker 19: What we know is that Matt van Epps had a good, 1305 01:11:19,479 --> 01:11:23,960 Speaker 19: solid win, a nine point win. We also know that 1306 01:11:24,200 --> 01:11:27,719 Speaker 19: special elections in off years can get kind of funky 1307 01:11:27,760 --> 01:11:32,519 Speaker 19: on you. And the Democrats were so motivated after their 1308 01:11:32,560 --> 01:11:36,400 Speaker 19: big blue city wins in New York, New Jersey and 1309 01:11:36,600 --> 01:11:41,879 Speaker 19: the Virginia governor's race. But voters came home to Tennessee 1310 01:11:42,160 --> 01:11:46,479 Speaker 19: values and they know that addressing the cost of living 1311 01:11:46,520 --> 01:11:51,320 Speaker 19: the way the Democrats want to do means hiking your taxes. 1312 01:11:52,000 --> 01:11:55,840 Speaker 19: They also know that policies the Democrats want to put 1313 01:11:55,840 --> 01:12:01,160 Speaker 19: in place mean less freedom for individuals. And Matt Vanipps 1314 01:12:01,240 --> 01:12:03,720 Speaker 19: is going to be a great US Congressman and he 1315 01:12:03,800 --> 01:12:07,559 Speaker 19: will be reelected in twenty twenty six. To that post. 1316 01:12:09,680 --> 01:12:13,280 Speaker 1: Senator, there is something really interesting yesterday happening in the Senate. 1317 01:12:13,280 --> 01:12:16,519 Speaker 1: I know you were part of the committee who led 1318 01:12:16,560 --> 01:12:19,439 Speaker 1: this conversation on the American Music Fairness Act, and Gene 1319 01:12:19,439 --> 01:12:24,120 Speaker 1: Simmons of Kiss Fame was one of those testifying. People 1320 01:12:24,160 --> 01:12:25,920 Speaker 1: may not be paying attention to this, and I know 1321 01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:28,760 Speaker 1: in terms of kind of the scope and scale of 1322 01:12:28,800 --> 01:12:31,040 Speaker 1: all the different things the country's facing. This may not 1323 01:12:31,160 --> 01:12:33,960 Speaker 1: be one that people know a lot about, but the 1324 01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:37,680 Speaker 1: American Music Fairness Act and Full Disclosure, right, So I'm 1325 01:12:37,720 --> 01:12:42,759 Speaker 1: in the broadcast business, so full disclosure as a commercial entity. 1326 01:12:43,080 --> 01:12:45,920 Speaker 1: Radio as an industry, as I understand, is sort of 1327 01:12:46,560 --> 01:12:48,280 Speaker 1: on the other side of where the artists are on 1328 01:12:48,360 --> 01:12:50,479 Speaker 1: this is that right. I'm not in the music industry 1329 01:12:50,800 --> 01:12:53,479 Speaker 1: doing spinning music anymore. I used to be, but maybe 1330 01:12:53,479 --> 01:12:54,960 Speaker 1: you can explain it for us. 1331 01:12:55,520 --> 01:13:01,160 Speaker 19: Yes, absolutely, What we know is that pay for performance 1332 01:13:01,840 --> 01:13:06,880 Speaker 19: is not there for our musicians when you come to 1333 01:13:07,040 --> 01:13:11,240 Speaker 19: radio play. That's why it's called the am FM Act. 1334 01:13:11,720 --> 01:13:18,040 Speaker 19: And every country pays royalties for radio play except the US, China, 1335 01:13:18,200 --> 01:13:21,960 Speaker 19: and North Korea. And what we need to do is 1336 01:13:22,040 --> 01:13:27,320 Speaker 19: to come into compliance with paying for radio play, then 1337 01:13:27,720 --> 01:13:33,519 Speaker 19: our entertainers and our creators can be paid for the 1338 01:13:33,680 --> 01:13:37,320 Speaker 19: music that plays over the radio every day. And Gene 1339 01:13:37,320 --> 01:13:40,439 Speaker 19: Simmons from Kiss is going to be one of our 1340 01:13:40,560 --> 01:13:45,080 Speaker 19: witnesses today on my bill. We are delighted to have 1341 01:13:45,200 --> 01:13:49,920 Speaker 19: him and he is such an advocate for this. You know, 1342 01:13:50,040 --> 01:13:54,400 Speaker 19: you think about some of our great singers, think about 1343 01:13:54,479 --> 01:13:58,240 Speaker 19: people like Sam Moore of Sam and Dave who sang 1344 01:13:58,360 --> 01:14:04,200 Speaker 19: soul Man. Radio station out there plays that music. But 1345 01:14:04,320 --> 01:14:08,759 Speaker 19: while he was alive, Sam Moore never made one single 1346 01:14:08,920 --> 01:14:14,760 Speaker 19: penny from his voice and his singing a soul Man 1347 01:14:14,840 --> 01:14:18,840 Speaker 19: being used on those radio stations over and over again. 1348 01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:21,960 Speaker 19: So this is an issue of fairness. It's also an 1349 01:14:22,120 --> 01:14:27,360 Speaker 19: issue of meeting the constitutional right that our creators have 1350 01:14:27,720 --> 01:14:31,840 Speaker 19: that it's an Article one, Section eight right to benefit 1351 01:14:32,000 --> 01:14:34,440 Speaker 19: from their creations and innovations. 1352 01:14:35,840 --> 01:14:39,160 Speaker 1: I'll let the lobbyists from my industry tackle this, but 1353 01:14:39,240 --> 01:14:41,800 Speaker 1: I would say, as you know, one of the discussions 1354 01:14:41,800 --> 01:14:45,240 Speaker 1: about radio broadcast traditional radio, and I should think that 1355 01:14:45,280 --> 01:14:48,560 Speaker 1: the people on the other side of this argument would 1356 01:14:48,640 --> 01:14:53,040 Speaker 1: probably join the radio folks in the concern that automakers 1357 01:14:53,040 --> 01:14:55,920 Speaker 1: are talking about no radio in cars at all. And 1358 01:14:56,160 --> 01:15:00,080 Speaker 1: that's a problem for not just my industry but all 1359 01:15:00,120 --> 01:15:03,840 Speaker 1: so musicians too, right, I mean, so it's like you've 1360 01:15:03,840 --> 01:15:06,160 Speaker 1: got to be able to keep radio in cars if 1361 01:15:06,200 --> 01:15:07,760 Speaker 1: they want to be paid to be heard on the radio. 1362 01:15:09,600 --> 01:15:12,160 Speaker 19: Well, that would be true. But also, Chris, when it 1363 01:15:12,200 --> 01:15:17,040 Speaker 19: comes to having AMFM radio in cars, it is a 1364 01:15:17,160 --> 01:15:24,080 Speaker 19: public safety issue. How do you get alerks over adverse 1365 01:15:24,080 --> 01:15:29,360 Speaker 19: occurrences or over tornadoes that are coming through so you 1366 01:15:29,479 --> 01:15:35,120 Speaker 19: have that override from the federal government on those am bands, 1367 01:15:35,760 --> 01:15:42,640 Speaker 19: and in times of a natural disaster or a national emergency, 1368 01:15:43,120 --> 01:15:46,920 Speaker 19: they can communicate with the public. So I am very 1369 01:15:47,000 --> 01:15:51,960 Speaker 19: supportive of keeping radio in automobiles so that people can 1370 01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:54,799 Speaker 19: get the information to keep themselves safe. 1371 01:15:55,600 --> 01:15:58,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, we appreciate that. I got to ask you, do 1372 01:15:58,960 --> 01:16:03,200 Speaker 1: you think you Democrat colleagues think they have an issue here, 1373 01:16:03,200 --> 01:16:05,040 Speaker 1: because I've seen the polling on it and they don't. 1374 01:16:05,360 --> 01:16:08,439 Speaker 1: It's a sixty forty issue on this drug boat stuff. 1375 01:16:09,240 --> 01:16:12,200 Speaker 1: They keep hammering this like they think they're onto a 1376 01:16:12,240 --> 01:16:15,400 Speaker 1: big scandal and the public is with the president on 1377 01:16:15,479 --> 01:16:19,599 Speaker 1: dealing with people trafficking narcotics. Senator, why do your Democrat 1378 01:16:19,640 --> 01:16:21,960 Speaker 1: colleagues continue to hammer this like they think they got 1379 01:16:21,960 --> 01:16:23,000 Speaker 1: a thing an issue? 1380 01:16:24,600 --> 01:16:27,439 Speaker 19: Yeah, you know, Chris, it is so interesting. They keep 1381 01:16:27,479 --> 01:16:31,559 Speaker 19: looking for some issue that is going to stick. So 1382 01:16:31,680 --> 01:16:34,880 Speaker 19: basically they're throwing everything against the wall and trying to 1383 01:16:34,920 --> 01:16:38,160 Speaker 19: figure out what is going to stick. And they thought 1384 01:16:38,200 --> 01:16:41,880 Speaker 19: that going after the gunboat the drug boats would be 1385 01:16:42,040 --> 01:16:46,160 Speaker 19: something that would stick. But what they have found out 1386 01:16:46,400 --> 01:16:50,200 Speaker 19: is the American people are saying, if you know that 1387 01:16:50,280 --> 01:16:54,160 Speaker 19: boat is bringing drugs to the United States, and it 1388 01:16:54,280 --> 01:16:58,960 Speaker 19: is going to end up in our communities, hurting our citizens. 1389 01:16:59,360 --> 01:17:03,479 Speaker 19: Then take them out before they get here. And it 1390 01:17:03,520 --> 01:17:09,160 Speaker 19: is a seventy three percent favorable issue to go ahead 1391 01:17:09,200 --> 01:17:13,000 Speaker 19: and take these voats out. And what we have heard 1392 01:17:13,400 --> 01:17:16,240 Speaker 19: from the Department of War is every time they take 1393 01:17:16,280 --> 01:17:20,280 Speaker 19: one of these voats out, you're saving twenty five thousand 1394 01:17:20,520 --> 01:17:23,439 Speaker 19: American lives. 1395 01:17:24,479 --> 01:17:26,719 Speaker 1: And it's clear to the American people what's happening here. 1396 01:17:26,960 --> 01:17:29,960 Speaker 1: What's a little less clear? Senator Blackburn Marshall Blackburn with 1397 01:17:30,040 --> 01:17:32,479 Speaker 1: us again from Tennessee, the United States Senator soon to 1398 01:17:32,479 --> 01:17:37,080 Speaker 1: be governor of Tennessee. What is clear is affordability is 1399 01:17:37,080 --> 01:17:39,519 Speaker 1: still something that's on the mines of Americans. President Trump 1400 01:17:39,600 --> 01:17:42,000 Speaker 1: hear's it, and he's hitting the trail. I guess, so 1401 01:17:42,040 --> 01:17:44,800 Speaker 1: to speak. Again, he's going to Pennsylvania. So there's a 1402 01:17:44,840 --> 01:17:46,840 Speaker 1: shift here. I think the President and Scott Besson, the 1403 01:17:46,840 --> 01:17:49,280 Speaker 1: Treasury Secretary, they both addressed it over the weekend and 1404 01:17:49,320 --> 01:17:54,160 Speaker 1: again yesterday. What's the messaging here from you, and what 1405 01:17:54,200 --> 01:17:56,760 Speaker 1: would you counsel the president to say to voters Right now? 1406 01:18:00,880 --> 01:18:04,240 Speaker 19: Cost of living is an issue, and while inflation is 1407 01:18:04,280 --> 01:18:07,400 Speaker 19: coming down, bear in mind the Democrats created this problem 1408 01:18:07,960 --> 01:18:11,080 Speaker 19: inflation was at nine point one percent under Joe Biden. 1409 01:18:11,479 --> 01:18:15,599 Speaker 19: It was the highest fastest inflation rates we had seen 1410 01:18:15,640 --> 01:18:19,720 Speaker 19: in over four decades. And it is coming down down 1411 01:18:19,760 --> 01:18:23,280 Speaker 19: around three percent. President Trump is making a lot of progress. 1412 01:18:24,160 --> 01:18:28,320 Speaker 19: The cost of gas is coming down in Tennessee. I've 1413 01:18:28,320 --> 01:18:31,400 Speaker 19: seen it under two fifty a gallon. I know in 1414 01:18:31,479 --> 01:18:34,400 Speaker 19: some parts of the country it is hitting right around 1415 01:18:34,439 --> 01:18:38,320 Speaker 19: two dollars a gallon. But people want the cost of 1416 01:18:38,400 --> 01:18:43,599 Speaker 19: living to come down and to be more reasonable, more quickly. 1417 01:18:44,200 --> 01:18:47,559 Speaker 19: And President Trump is right to put the focus on 1418 01:18:47,600 --> 01:18:51,680 Speaker 19: this to say I hear you, I know it is 1419 01:18:51,720 --> 01:18:57,240 Speaker 19: still a problem. We are doing these specific steps. The 1420 01:18:57,280 --> 01:19:01,200 Speaker 19: Big Beautiful Bill is going to kick in January one. 1421 01:19:01,880 --> 01:19:07,679 Speaker 19: That is the single largest tax cut for working Americans ever, 1422 01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:12,920 Speaker 19: no tax on tips over time, and removing my position, 1423 01:19:13,160 --> 01:19:17,920 Speaker 19: my bill that removed the tax on Social Security for 1424 01:19:17,960 --> 01:19:23,080 Speaker 19: about eighty five percent of our nation's seniors. So these 1425 01:19:23,200 --> 01:19:28,280 Speaker 19: provisions are all going into effect. We also know that 1426 01:19:29,160 --> 01:19:32,320 Speaker 19: dealing with the issue on tariffs, getting the cost of 1427 01:19:32,360 --> 01:19:36,040 Speaker 19: gas and grocery stand the price of eggs and milk 1428 01:19:36,120 --> 01:19:41,800 Speaker 19: and ground beef, those are essential components. And I appreciate, 1429 01:19:43,200 --> 01:19:46,479 Speaker 19: appreciate that the President is working to make that happen, 1430 01:19:46,880 --> 01:19:50,200 Speaker 19: and we want to see this kick in. Everybody is 1431 01:19:50,360 --> 01:19:54,200 Speaker 19: saying it's pastime for these provisions to kick in. 1432 01:19:55,320 --> 01:19:58,320 Speaker 1: Senator I've got about thirty seconds. I would be remiss 1433 01:19:58,320 --> 01:20:01,680 Speaker 1: if I didn't get your reaction to the announcement that 1434 01:20:01,760 --> 01:20:03,840 Speaker 1: Jasmine Crockett is going to make a run for the 1435 01:20:03,840 --> 01:20:07,360 Speaker 1: Senate down there against your colleague. Well, it will be 1436 01:20:07,360 --> 01:20:11,320 Speaker 1: a primary, but Senator Jasmine Crockett from Texas, could you 1437 01:20:11,360 --> 01:20:13,480 Speaker 1: imagine it? Senator Blackburn from Tennessee. 1438 01:20:16,800 --> 01:20:20,160 Speaker 19: No, I don't see her winning that race in Texas. 1439 01:20:20,760 --> 01:20:24,000 Speaker 19: And anybody can throw their hat in the ring and run, 1440 01:20:24,320 --> 01:20:26,160 Speaker 19: and she has chosen to do that. 1441 01:20:28,200 --> 01:20:30,200 Speaker 1: And we'll leave it at that. Hey, Senator, you know 1442 01:20:30,200 --> 01:20:32,439 Speaker 1: who I have on the show tomorrow, Ricky Skaggs. I 1443 01:20:32,479 --> 01:20:33,599 Speaker 1: bet you can appreciate that. 1444 01:20:33,880 --> 01:20:36,360 Speaker 9: I'll just have one. 1445 01:20:37,120 --> 01:20:38,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, Hey, Merry Christmas to. 1446 01:20:38,840 --> 01:20:41,599 Speaker 19: You, and a merry one to you. 1447 01:20:41,640 --> 01:20:42,400 Speaker 11: Be blessed. 1448 01:20:43,840 --> 01:20:46,800 Speaker 1: That is Senator Marshall Blackburn.

The new shows are weird because they replace 1478 01:22:04,280 --> 01:22:10,080 Speaker 1: shows that you enjoyed, and sometimes it's under great circumstances, 1479 01:22:10,120 --> 01:22:12,839 Speaker 1: as was the case for us. Sometimes it's under duress 1480 01:22:12,880 --> 01:22:16,960 Speaker 1: and audiences feel, I think a little betrayed when the 1481 01:22:16,960 --> 01:22:21,120 Speaker 1: announcements aren't clearest of what's happened. I was thankful and 1482 01:22:21,160 --> 01:22:24,520 Speaker 1: grateful that, in the network's case, Hugh Hewitt moved to afternoons. 1483 01:22:24,800 --> 01:22:27,639 Speaker 1: I then took the network morning program in our team, 1484 01:22:27,680 --> 01:22:31,880 Speaker 1: and you've just been so kind to us as the 1485 01:22:31,920 --> 01:22:35,679 Speaker 1: new guy. One of the things that I've been tasked 1486 01:22:35,720 --> 01:22:39,920 Speaker 1: with doing is helping raise awareness and raise funds for 1487 01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:44,639 Speaker 1: this wonderful ministry called Prison Fellowship and their Angel Tree campaign. 1488 01:22:45,840 --> 01:22:50,479 Speaker 1: This is strictly because of your donations that this happens. 1489 01:22:50,720 --> 01:22:54,120 Speaker 1: And we're talking about a gift in the hands of 1490 01:22:54,160 --> 01:22:58,439 Speaker 1: a child whose parent, for whatever reason, certainly through no 1491 01:22:58,479 --> 01:23:02,720 Speaker 1: fault of their own, is behind bars this Christmas. And 1492 01:23:02,800 --> 01:23:05,200 Speaker 1: I know that that sort of lands on people's ears 1493 01:23:05,200 --> 01:23:08,519 Speaker 1: in an odd way. Well, I don't know, giving money 1494 01:23:08,560 --> 01:23:11,000 Speaker 1: to a charity somebody that's in prison, don't It's not 1495 01:23:11,040 --> 01:23:14,720 Speaker 1: about the prisoner. It's not about excusing the prisoner. It's 1496 01:23:14,760 --> 01:23:18,160 Speaker 1: about making sure that a child has a Christmas and 1497 01:23:18,200 --> 01:23:20,320 Speaker 1: knows their love and knows they're cared for. And Prison 1498 01:23:20,360 --> 01:23:23,759 Speaker 1: Fellowship does something really specific. They make sure the parent 1499 01:23:23,880 --> 01:23:27,080 Speaker 1: that's incarcerated includes a handwritten note in the gift that 1500 01:23:27,160 --> 01:23:30,559 Speaker 1: you have supplied to let that child know they're being 1501 01:23:30,600 --> 01:23:33,760 Speaker 1: thought of and they're being cared for. And most especially 1502 01:23:33,920 --> 01:23:37,439 Speaker 1: important in this entire campaign, they include a Bible with 1503 01:23:37,479 --> 01:23:40,160 Speaker 1: that gift. So you're talking about a handwritten note from 1504 01:23:40,200 --> 01:23:43,400 Speaker 1: a parent, a gift, and a Bible that's going to 1505 01:23:43,520 --> 01:23:46,360 Speaker 1: change the direction of some of these kids. Thousands of 1506 01:23:46,400 --> 01:23:49,880 Speaker 1: these kids we hope Christmas this year? Can you help me? 1507 01:23:51,080 --> 01:23:53,439 Speaker 1: We doubled the number of kids yesterday thanks to your 1508 01:23:53,880 --> 01:23:58,280 Speaker 1: generous support. We set a number. It was a lofty 1509 01:23:58,280 --> 01:24:00,519 Speaker 1: goal this year. I'm not going to lie. Twenty six 1510 01:24:00,600 --> 01:24:05,400 Speaker 1: hundred kids thirty dollars is what it takes and the 1511 01:24:05,439 --> 01:24:08,920 Speaker 1: math what we have. We're talking about now, sixteen days 1512 01:24:08,920 --> 01:24:12,799 Speaker 1: before Christmas. We're talking about about eleven more broadcast days 1513 01:24:12,800 --> 01:24:16,400 Speaker 1: for this show. Can you help me? Can you help 1514 01:24:16,400 --> 01:24:21,679 Speaker 1: Prison Fellowship? I'm basically asking you personally, friend to friend 1515 01:24:21,720 --> 01:24:25,160 Speaker 1: here This would be a tremendous thing that you're doing 1516 01:24:25,280 --> 01:24:29,280 Speaker 1: for some very very deserving kids who, again through no 1517 01:24:29,280 --> 01:24:31,400 Speaker 1: fault of their own, find themselves without a parent. This 1518 01:24:31,479 --> 01:24:34,639 Speaker 1: Christmas angel tree is going to make it happen. Thirty 1519 01:24:34,680 --> 01:24:37,000 Speaker 1: dollars is all it takes. Now, you and I both 1520 01:24:37,080 --> 01:24:39,360 Speaker 1: know you couldn't go out to lunch for thirty dollars 1521 01:24:39,680 --> 01:24:42,640 Speaker 1: you buy two pizzas. You couldn't. You couldn't get two 1522 01:24:42,680 --> 01:24:45,200 Speaker 1: pizzas for thirty dollars, But you can change the direction 1523 01:24:45,280 --> 01:24:47,560 Speaker 1: of a child's life for thirty dollars today. Would you 1524 01:24:47,640 --> 01:24:50,000 Speaker 1: help out if you can, I'd be so grateful to you. 1525 01:24:50,720 --> 01:24:54,120 Speaker 1: At eight eight eight two zero six twenty seven ninety 1526 01:24:54,120 --> 01:24:57,679 Speaker 1: four eight eight eight two zero six twenty seven ninety four. 1527 01:24:57,760 --> 01:24:59,840 Speaker 1: Please don't wait on this thing. They get it out 1528 01:24:59,840 --> 01:25:02,000 Speaker 1: there door and they're great with it as soon as 1529 01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:04,479 Speaker 1: they receive your gift.

I 1534 01:25:20,680 --> 01:25:23,200 Speaker 1: talked you about it earlier. Average US gas prices see 1535 01:25:23,240 --> 01:25:27,640 Speaker 1: weekly dip again, a fresh multi year low reached. We 1536 01:25:27,680 --> 01:25:30,960 Speaker 1: heard from a caller earlier in Colorado who's a truck driver. 1537 01:25:31,120 --> 01:25:33,800 Speaker 1: He said, what he's paying for diesel right now? He 1538 01:25:33,840 --> 01:25:36,559 Speaker 1: can't remember when it has gotten down this low. He said, 1539 01:25:36,600 --> 01:25:38,960 Speaker 1: in Colorado, he just paid two dollars a gallon for diesel. 1540 01:25:39,760 --> 01:25:42,080 Speaker 1: Pretty amazing. A guy that's had a lot to do 1541 01:25:42,320 --> 01:25:45,120 Speaker 1: with being helpful here because we know the rules and 1542 01:25:45,200 --> 01:25:50,040 Speaker 1: rigs and previous administrations were real inflating energy costs ever higher. 1543 01:25:50,160 --> 01:25:53,599 Speaker 1: Lee Zelden is the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency 1544 01:25:53,680 --> 01:25:56,240 Speaker 1: under the Trump administration and makes time for us again 1545 01:25:56,280 --> 01:25:58,519 Speaker 1: this morning. Administrator Zelden, good morning to you, sir. 1546 01:25:59,040 --> 01:25:59,720 Speaker 11: Good more. It's good. 1547 01:26:01,120 --> 01:26:03,360 Speaker 1: This is good news, and it is tied to everything. 1548 01:26:03,400 --> 01:26:06,280 Speaker 1: President Trump said it yesterday. Energy is first. I mean 1549 01:26:06,320 --> 01:26:08,680 Speaker 1: it's got to be because everything is tied to it. 1550 01:26:08,760 --> 01:26:14,280 Speaker 11: Yes, absolutely, And unleashing energy dominance here in the United States, 1551 01:26:14,320 --> 01:26:17,240 Speaker 11: where we are reducing our reliance on foreign countries, is 1552 01:26:17,720 --> 01:26:20,720 Speaker 11: it's key bringing down costs, the jobs that are created, 1553 01:26:21,400 --> 01:26:24,040 Speaker 11: the investments that are being made, the groundbreakings that have 1554 01:26:24,280 --> 01:26:29,400 Speaker 11: already started. There's so many different positive benefits to this 1555 01:26:29,439 --> 01:26:32,160 Speaker 11: effort all year. It started at the beginning of the 1556 01:26:32,240 --> 01:26:34,280 Speaker 11: year where when the President ran out of the gate 1557 01:26:34,439 --> 01:26:39,040 Speaker 11: on top of many executive orders relate to energy, made 1558 01:26:39,080 --> 01:26:42,720 Speaker 11: the National Energy Dominance Council. And what was happening in 1559 01:26:42,760 --> 01:26:46,240 Speaker 11: the past was that on the energy front, all these 1560 01:26:46,280 --> 01:26:51,240 Speaker 11: different agencies with equities and jurisdiction in the space were 1561 01:26:51,280 --> 01:26:57,400 Speaker 11: siloed off. They weren't working together closely the way that 1562 01:26:57,520 --> 01:27:01,559 Speaker 11: we see this year. And Doug Bergham, the Secretary of Interior, 1563 01:27:01,600 --> 01:27:06,680 Speaker 11: became chair, Chris Wright, the Secretary of Energy. I'm on it, 1564 01:27:06,960 --> 01:27:11,559 Speaker 11: and Chris and you have Lutnick on it, and the 1565 01:27:11,680 --> 01:27:15,400 Speaker 11: meetings that take place where you were with the President 1566 01:27:15,439 --> 01:27:19,000 Speaker 11: in the Oval at the Resolute desk, going pipeline project 1567 01:27:19,000 --> 01:27:22,639 Speaker 11: to pipeline project, power plant to power plant, rule after rule, 1568 01:27:23,840 --> 01:27:26,960 Speaker 11: collaborating like that. It's been key all year, and all 1569 01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:30,240 Speaker 11: credit there goes to the President for not just bringing 1570 01:27:30,320 --> 01:27:32,960 Speaker 11: us together, making a very clear out of the gate 1571 01:27:33,000 --> 01:27:35,920 Speaker 11: what he wanted to accomplish, and being way on top 1572 01:27:36,000 --> 01:27:40,000 Speaker 11: of it and working hard every single day, barely sleeping 1573 01:27:40,160 --> 01:27:43,479 Speaker 11: to make sure that these efforts get over the finish line. 1574 01:27:43,560 --> 01:27:47,160 Speaker 1: You know, again, environment is different than climate We all 1575 01:27:47,200 --> 01:27:50,679 Speaker 1: know that dirty air, dirty water, you know, taking care 1576 01:27:50,760 --> 01:27:53,479 Speaker 1: of the environment, being good stewards of the environment. That's 1577 01:27:53,520 --> 01:27:56,479 Speaker 1: what the Environmental Protection Agency is about. It is not 1578 01:27:56,520 --> 01:28:00,439 Speaker 1: about climate change. That's different. I have three different stories 1579 01:28:00,479 --> 01:28:02,760 Speaker 1: administrators Eldon in front of me that I've just kept 1580 01:28:02,800 --> 01:28:06,360 Speaker 1: for just such a conversation. New York Times admits climate 1581 01:28:06,400 --> 01:28:10,880 Speaker 1: skeptics are winning the information war have succeeded in undermining 1582 01:28:11,200 --> 01:28:17,000 Speaker 1: climate action. One headline, science journal Nature retracts catastrophic climate 1583 01:28:17,120 --> 01:28:23,480 Speaker 1: change study from just the News. Climate advocacy struggles. Opponents 1584 01:28:23,520 --> 01:28:26,760 Speaker 1: warn it's just restrategizing. But the point is this whole 1585 01:28:26,800 --> 01:28:29,840 Speaker 1: idea that we're warming the planet and thus we've got 1586 01:28:29,840 --> 01:28:33,400 Speaker 1: to choke ourselves of energy, thankfully, does not seem to 1587 01:28:33,439 --> 01:28:34,680 Speaker 1: be winning the day. 1588 01:28:35,360 --> 01:28:39,519 Speaker 11: Two really important points come to mind. One is, you know, 1589 01:28:39,640 --> 01:28:47,440 Speaker 11: science isn't perfect. But sometimes people who defend science, they 1590 01:28:47,520 --> 01:28:51,880 Speaker 11: get behind one particular theory and they go all in 1591 01:28:51,920 --> 01:28:56,520 Speaker 11: on it, and they know and acknowledge the ranges the assumptions. 1592 01:28:56,680 --> 01:28:58,519 Speaker 11: I mean, there's a lot of guessing that goes on, 1593 01:28:59,160 --> 01:29:03,519 Speaker 11: and specifically as it relates to climate change. Climate science, 1594 01:29:03,560 --> 01:29:06,080 Speaker 11: soul of studies and research that's come out. I mean, 1595 01:29:06,120 --> 01:29:10,200 Speaker 11: there have been through the years pessimistic assessments of where 1596 01:29:10,240 --> 01:29:13,440 Speaker 11: things might be in fifty years, and there's optimistic assessments. 1597 01:29:14,160 --> 01:29:17,280 Speaker 11: And what has happened too much is that the most 1598 01:29:17,920 --> 01:29:23,719 Speaker 11: pessimistic view, of the most pessimistic study is the one 1599 01:29:23,760 --> 01:29:27,840 Speaker 11: that people will rally behind. And then if you don't 1600 01:29:27,880 --> 01:29:31,120 Speaker 11: agree with them that that's just the way it is, 1601 01:29:31,760 --> 01:29:34,440 Speaker 11: you know, then they try to name and shame your 1602 01:29:34,520 --> 01:29:37,519 Speaker 11: science denial you don't believe it in science, And I 1603 01:29:37,560 --> 01:29:41,800 Speaker 11: think that's one point that really ended up undermining credibility, 1604 01:29:41,840 --> 01:29:44,439 Speaker 11: because what happens when you actually get twenty five years 1605 01:29:44,439 --> 01:29:49,400 Speaker 11: down the road, your bad assumptions end up getting proven 1606 01:29:49,520 --> 01:29:51,640 Speaker 11: to be inaccurate, and then you got a lot of 1607 01:29:51,640 --> 01:29:54,000 Speaker 11: money your face. The second piece is, as you just 1608 01:29:54,040 --> 01:29:57,600 Speaker 11: pointed out, on the policy front, in the name of 1609 01:29:57,680 --> 01:30:02,559 Speaker 11: climate change, the willingness to bankrupt people who can least 1610 01:30:02,600 --> 01:30:06,080 Speaker 11: afford it, to try to get rid of all different 1611 01:30:06,080 --> 01:30:10,400 Speaker 11: sources of base load power, to cause strains on the 1612 01:30:10,400 --> 01:30:18,559 Speaker 11: electricity grid, to move towards rolling blackouts, brownouts, make energy 1613 01:30:18,600 --> 01:30:22,760 Speaker 11: costs end up skyrocketing because of your policies to put 1614 01:30:22,800 --> 01:30:27,240 Speaker 11: regulations in place trying to eliminate entire sectors of our 1615 01:30:27,360 --> 01:30:31,360 Speaker 11: energy economy, all in the name of climate change, that 1616 01:30:31,520 --> 01:30:34,599 Speaker 11: ends up getting a whole lot of blowbacks faster saying, 1617 01:30:34,760 --> 01:30:37,920 Speaker 11: hold on a second. You know, I never said that 1618 01:30:38,320 --> 01:30:41,720 Speaker 11: I wanted you to force me to choose whether or 1619 01:30:41,760 --> 01:30:45,479 Speaker 11: not to heat my home or get the prescription drugs 1620 01:30:45,840 --> 01:30:49,760 Speaker 11: that I need, or to put food in my refrigerator 1621 01:30:49,880 --> 01:30:54,000 Speaker 11: like I would like all three. And I would say, 1622 01:30:54,000 --> 01:30:58,679 Speaker 11: from the policy to the way that the left has 1623 01:30:58,960 --> 01:31:02,760 Speaker 11: rallied behind the most pestimistic views that didn't born out here, 1624 01:31:02,760 --> 01:31:04,719 Speaker 11: we are in twenty twenty five or old in twenty 1625 01:31:04,760 --> 01:31:06,880 Speaker 11: twenty six, and it's a different day of this debate. 1626 01:31:08,439 --> 01:31:11,599 Speaker 1: A federal judge administrator Zeldon Lee Zelden with us from 1627 01:31:11,640 --> 01:31:15,080 Speaker 1: the Environmental Protection Agency in the Trump administration. A federal 1628 01:31:15,160 --> 01:31:20,360 Speaker 1: judge Axios writes just yesterday striking down President Trump's anti 1629 01:31:20,439 --> 01:31:26,800 Speaker 1: wind directive, nullifying a January memo that they report Stemy's 1630 01:31:26,840 --> 01:31:31,800 Speaker 1: new federal permitting and leasing for wind projects. Full disclosure. 1631 01:31:31,880 --> 01:31:35,040 Speaker 1: I hate windmills. I think they're ugly. I have no 1632 01:31:36,120 --> 01:31:38,599 Speaker 1: idea who thought it was a good idea to dot 1633 01:31:38,680 --> 01:31:42,400 Speaker 1: Our oceans and our landscapes are pristine waters and lands 1634 01:31:42,400 --> 01:31:46,519 Speaker 1: with the stupid, ugly things. I know President Trump shares 1635 01:31:46,560 --> 01:31:48,320 Speaker 1: my point of view on this, but I don't know 1636 01:31:48,320 --> 01:31:50,519 Speaker 1: where you are with them. But does a federal judge 1637 01:31:50,520 --> 01:31:54,599 Speaker 1: have a place in this decision that President Trump handed down? 1638 01:31:56,040 --> 01:32:00,479 Speaker 11: All year long, we have seen these district courts judges 1639 01:32:01,240 --> 01:32:07,400 Speaker 11: activist judges trying to use the power of their office 1640 01:32:08,040 --> 01:32:12,320 Speaker 11: with the way they're interpreting it to try to buy 1641 01:32:12,479 --> 01:32:15,800 Speaker 11: the president's hand behind his back, the administration's hands behind 1642 01:32:15,800 --> 01:32:18,920 Speaker 11: their back as far as being able to get policies 1643 01:32:19,080 --> 01:32:22,559 Speaker 11: over the finish line. And time after time, as these 1644 01:32:22,640 --> 01:32:26,040 Speaker 11: cases have worked through the court system and made their 1645 01:32:26,080 --> 01:32:29,080 Speaker 11: way up to the United States Supreme Court, we're seeing 1646 01:32:29,120 --> 01:32:33,200 Speaker 11: the Trump administration win case after case after case. And 1647 01:32:33,280 --> 01:32:37,520 Speaker 11: what happens is there's a lot of venue shopping, judge shopping. 1648 01:32:37,880 --> 01:32:40,040 Speaker 11: They want to get in front of the right judge. 1649 01:32:40,600 --> 01:32:45,200 Speaker 11: We've seen it with litigation targeting EPA this year, where 1650 01:32:45,560 --> 01:32:50,160 Speaker 11: a district court judge that was targeted would end up 1651 01:32:50,280 --> 01:32:53,599 Speaker 11: putting out some type of an injunction against us. But 1652 01:32:53,640 --> 01:32:56,160 Speaker 11: then it works through the appeals process and then we 1653 01:32:56,240 --> 01:32:58,120 Speaker 11: ended up winning the appeals case, like we saw in 1654 01:32:58,120 --> 01:33:01,360 Speaker 11: the twenty billion dollars camp insolation that I did earlier 1655 01:33:01,360 --> 01:33:03,680 Speaker 11: this year of the greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund as it 1656 01:33:03,720 --> 01:33:06,320 Speaker 11: relates to to when the President has been very outspoken 1657 01:33:06,360 --> 01:33:10,520 Speaker 11: on this, especially with regards to the offshore wind projects. 1658 01:33:11,280 --> 01:33:15,560 Speaker 11: He talks about the economics of it and comparing the 1659 01:33:16,000 --> 01:33:19,640 Speaker 11: different sources of energy and the cost of it. What 1660 01:33:19,760 --> 01:33:22,720 Speaker 11: happens a lot on the left is that when they 1661 01:33:22,840 --> 01:33:26,880 Speaker 11: try to sell the economics of wind, they really don't 1662 01:33:27,840 --> 01:33:32,240 Speaker 11: I mean this deliberately, obviously, they really don't capture all 1663 01:33:32,280 --> 01:33:35,800 Speaker 11: of the costs that go into it. Wind obviously is 1664 01:33:35,800 --> 01:33:39,639 Speaker 11: an intermittent source. It's not based load power, it is 1665 01:33:39,680 --> 01:33:45,120 Speaker 11: not reliable. And once you once you produce the energy 1666 01:33:45,240 --> 01:33:49,000 Speaker 11: through it, then you have to store it and and 1667 01:33:49,040 --> 01:33:52,080 Speaker 11: that creates and transmission and storage. 1668 01:33:52,320 --> 01:33:55,920 Speaker 1: And just from a I'm sorry to interrupt you, but 1669 01:33:56,040 --> 01:33:58,799 Speaker 1: just here again, like people that say no more mining, 1670 01:33:58,880 --> 01:34:02,800 Speaker 1: don't mind, don't drill for oil, Yet we'll plant acres 1671 01:34:02,800 --> 01:34:10,080 Speaker 1: and acres of these giant, monolithic, ugly, unbelievably ugly garish. 1672 01:34:10,160 --> 01:34:13,080 Speaker 1: They'll dot the landscape for miles with these stupid things. 1673 01:34:13,120 --> 01:34:15,240 Speaker 1: The same crew that says don't mine and don't row 1674 01:34:15,320 --> 01:34:18,200 Speaker 1: for oil, right, well. 1675 01:34:18,280 --> 01:34:20,280 Speaker 11: What we're seeing, I mean you had, you had solar 1676 01:34:20,320 --> 01:34:24,040 Speaker 11: into it. And I'm you know, a lot of of 1677 01:34:24,400 --> 01:34:30,280 Speaker 11: beautiful pristine farmland that has turned into these massive solar 1678 01:34:30,360 --> 01:34:33,679 Speaker 11: farms and uh, you know, and and there are points 1679 01:34:33,720 --> 01:34:36,320 Speaker 11: to be made on winding points to be made on solar. 1680 01:34:36,640 --> 01:34:39,639 Speaker 11: I mean, can't tell you how often I'm driven across 1681 01:34:39,720 --> 01:34:43,240 Speaker 11: this this country where you know, you see a windmill 1682 01:34:43,360 --> 01:34:46,120 Speaker 11: that is it's not just in a position where it's 1683 01:34:46,120 --> 01:34:49,600 Speaker 11: not moving because there's no wind at that moment, you know. 1684 01:34:49,640 --> 01:34:53,640 Speaker 11: But uh, there's a lot of issues when you just 1685 01:34:53,680 --> 01:34:55,519 Speaker 11: get to the end of life and you just have 1686 01:34:55,640 --> 01:34:59,240 Speaker 11: this big thing sitting there. And I love this scene 1687 01:34:59,280 --> 01:35:02,120 Speaker 11: of Landmen season one where they were talking about all 1688 01:35:02,160 --> 01:35:06,479 Speaker 11: the fossil fuel that's used to you know, produce and 1689 01:35:07,400 --> 01:35:10,880 Speaker 11: transport to synergy. And lastly on the solar piece, there 1690 01:35:10,960 --> 01:35:15,599 Speaker 11: are massive several loans that have gone out. I mean 1691 01:35:15,640 --> 01:35:19,200 Speaker 11: we're talking about into the billions. There's there's one called 1692 01:35:19,240 --> 01:35:22,880 Speaker 11: Ivanhoe out in California where they got this over one 1693 01:35:22,960 --> 01:35:26,719 Speaker 11: billion dollar loan from the Fedral government and very quickly 1694 01:35:27,200 --> 01:35:30,040 Speaker 11: they're completely out of business. And now you have all 1695 01:35:30,200 --> 01:35:33,040 Speaker 11: these you have a massive solar farm, all these solar 1696 01:35:33,080 --> 01:35:35,799 Speaker 11: panels just sitting out what used to be pristine land. 1697 01:35:36,439 --> 01:35:40,200 Speaker 11: The taxpayers lost their money and all this is just 1698 01:35:40,240 --> 01:35:42,519 Speaker 11: gonna is just sitting out there for who knows. 1699 01:35:42,360 --> 01:35:45,439 Speaker 1: How long, Liezelden, I'll let you run on this question 1700 01:35:45,439 --> 01:35:48,800 Speaker 1: because I know you have to go the fraud that's 1701 01:35:48,800 --> 01:35:50,800 Speaker 1: been uncovered in the e PA. I don't want to 1702 01:35:50,800 --> 01:35:52,640 Speaker 1: say it's the most, but it seems like when we 1703 01:35:52,640 --> 01:35:54,479 Speaker 1: were talking about Doze, and I know DOZ is not 1704 01:35:54,520 --> 01:35:56,439 Speaker 1: gone away, it's just kind of been folded into the 1705 01:35:56,439 --> 01:36:00,320 Speaker 1: operations of the executive but you immediately struck, I mean, 1706 01:36:00,320 --> 01:36:02,480 Speaker 1: you hit the ground running, and it seems like EPA 1707 01:36:02,760 --> 01:36:06,479 Speaker 1: is uniquely inn agency that was just sloshing around and 1708 01:36:06,560 --> 01:36:10,880 Speaker 1: a lot of taxpayer money. Is that about right? That 1709 01:36:10,920 --> 01:36:13,640 Speaker 1: the EPA seemed to be where most of the grift 1710 01:36:14,080 --> 01:36:16,920 Speaker 1: was going on with the left And do you feel 1711 01:36:16,920 --> 01:36:18,479 Speaker 1: pretty confident you've put that to bid? 1712 01:36:20,280 --> 01:36:23,320 Speaker 11: It was certainly in a very large part at EPA. 1713 01:36:24,040 --> 01:36:29,280 Speaker 11: Absolutely was across agencies. What was unique was the amount 1714 01:36:30,120 --> 01:36:34,240 Speaker 11: of the money being wasted beyond the operational dollars that 1715 01:36:34,280 --> 01:36:36,040 Speaker 11: go through the agency. You have an agency with an 1716 01:36:36,040 --> 01:36:39,799 Speaker 11: annual operating budget of about ten billion dollars. We've saved 1717 01:36:39,840 --> 01:36:43,559 Speaker 11: so far this year thirty billion dollars. We've canceled grants 1718 01:36:43,560 --> 01:36:48,160 Speaker 11: worth about twenty nine billion of that thirty and a 1719 01:36:48,200 --> 01:36:52,879 Speaker 11: lot of former Obama and Biden officials. Democratic donors create 1720 01:36:52,960 --> 01:36:57,720 Speaker 11: these environmental NGOs. They get money as pastors even though 1721 01:36:57,760 --> 01:37:02,040 Speaker 11: they're not qualified. But the conflicts of interest, because of 1722 01:37:02,080 --> 01:37:06,400 Speaker 11: the self dealing and reduced agency oversight, it was all 1723 01:37:06,479 --> 01:37:09,880 Speaker 11: set up to fail for the taxpayer. It was all 1724 01:37:09,960 --> 01:37:13,439 Speaker 11: set up to be able to enrich their friends. I'll 1725 01:37:13,439 --> 01:37:16,080 Speaker 11: just give you one quick example. There's this program called 1726 01:37:16,120 --> 01:37:20,120 Speaker 11: Solo for All, which was created as part of the inflation, 1727 01:37:20,520 --> 01:37:24,600 Speaker 11: the so called Inflation Reduction Act, and they had all 1728 01:37:24,680 --> 01:37:28,160 Speaker 11: sorts of examples where there are many pass throughs the 1729 01:37:28,240 --> 01:37:30,479 Speaker 11: dollar would go through. They would go through in some 1730 01:37:30,520 --> 01:37:35,680 Speaker 11: cases four passed through entities where that dollar would be 1731 01:37:35,720 --> 01:37:39,200 Speaker 11: getting dropped by fifteen to twenty per cut. 1732 01:37:40,280 --> 01:37:44,080 Speaker 1: A shell game. Leez Elden, you're warrior. We're so glad 1733 01:37:44,120 --> 01:37:46,720 Speaker 1: you're there. We're grateful you make time for us. I 1734 01:37:46,760 --> 01:37:48,240 Speaker 1: hope you have a great rest of the year. If 1735 01:37:48,240 --> 01:37:50,040 Speaker 1: we don't talk to you before, then happy new Year, 1736 01:37:50,040 --> 01:37:52,280 Speaker 1: and we'll see you in the new year. There is 1737 01:37:52,320 --> 01:37:57,040 Speaker 1: this case right now before the Supreme Court. They're going 1738 01:37:57,080 --> 01:37:59,919 Speaker 1: to hear oral arguments in a case called Trump the Slaughter, 1739 01:38:00,640 --> 01:38:03,559 Speaker 1: a battle that's been brewing on one hand since soon 1740 01:38:03,600 --> 01:38:06,240 Speaker 1: after President Trump took office in January, and on the 1741 01:38:06,240 --> 01:38:08,479 Speaker 1: other hand for years. At the center of the battle 1742 01:38:09,240 --> 01:38:12,320 Speaker 1: are laws that limit the president's ability to fire the 1743 01:38:12,400 --> 01:38:17,320 Speaker 1: heads of independent, multi member federal agencies like the Federal 1744 01:38:17,360 --> 01:38:22,280 Speaker 1: Trade Commission. Now, in a million years, if you have 1745 01:38:22,320 --> 01:38:25,080 Speaker 1: a president that can't fire people in the executive branch, 1746 01:38:25,120 --> 01:38:28,280 Speaker 1: what have you? Then? What's the point of having an 1747 01:38:28,360 --> 01:38:31,800 Speaker 1: executive branch if the executive can't fire people that work 1748 01:38:31,920 --> 01:38:36,360 Speaker 1: under him. Justice Gorsich tackled some of this. Listen to 1749 01:38:36,400 --> 01:38:43,240 Speaker 1: number thirty seven here, thirty seven or eight, either one. 1750 01:38:43,280 --> 01:38:47,160 Speaker 3: What do you like about so even some quintel's essentially 1751 01:38:47,320 --> 01:38:50,960 Speaker 3: executive functions in your view, are not vested in the 1752 01:38:51,000 --> 01:38:52,240 Speaker 3: president of the United States. 1753 01:38:52,960 --> 01:38:54,800 Speaker 9: I would not say that. I would not put it 1754 01:38:55,520 --> 01:38:58,160 Speaker 9: in this. I would not say that that yes, I would. 1755 01:38:58,160 --> 01:39:00,679 Speaker 3: I would say, they're not to say yes that basa 1756 01:39:00,880 --> 01:39:04,320 Speaker 3: what you've just darre not constitutionally committed to the person 1757 01:39:04,360 --> 01:39:07,559 Speaker 3: of the president and to his soul an exclusive discretion. 1758 01:39:09,600 --> 01:39:11,680 Speaker 1: It's crazy to me, It's crazy to me that it's 1759 01:39:11,720 --> 01:39:14,200 Speaker 1: even a debate. Gorsuch clearly doesn't think it's a debate. 1760 01:39:14,760 --> 01:39:17,200 Speaker 1: This is like we were just talking about with Administrator Zelden. 1761 01:39:17,400 --> 01:39:21,000 Speaker 1: This should be slam dunk six three, maybe seven to 1762 01:39:22,600 --> 01:39:24,759 Speaker 1: in favor of the executive. If you have a president 1763 01:39:24,800 --> 01:39:27,080 Speaker 1: that can't fire people in the executive branch, then what 1764 01:39:27,160 --> 01:39:29,280 Speaker 1: have you. It's a stupid discussion. I can't even believe 1765 01:39:29,280 --> 01:39:31,920 Speaker 1: it's a debate. Let's go to Joseph in New York, 1766 01:39:31,960 --> 01:39:35,960 Speaker 1: waiting patiently. Joseph, glad you called. Good morning, Hello Chris, 1767 01:39:36,240 --> 01:39:38,080 Speaker 1: how are you, Joseph, good morning, Welcome in. 1768 01:39:38,760 --> 01:39:41,400 Speaker 2: I'm very well, Thank you, Thank you for having me again. 1769 01:39:41,479 --> 01:39:43,519 Speaker 2: This is the rabbi from the prison who called it 1770 01:39:43,840 --> 01:39:47,000 Speaker 2: little while ago when we saw a beautiful I would say, 1771 01:39:47,000 --> 01:39:52,440 Speaker 2: almost Christmas miracle. Here in the prison where both prison Fellowship, 1772 01:39:52,560 --> 01:39:55,559 Speaker 2: which they also in addition to Angel Tree, they have 1773 01:39:55,640 --> 01:40:00,400 Speaker 2: the Prison Fellowship Academy where they teach the inmates biblical 1774 01:40:00,439 --> 01:40:04,559 Speaker 2: principles to help them improve their lives. One of the 1775 01:40:04,560 --> 01:40:08,680 Speaker 2: inmates was actually from Communist China. He became a very 1776 01:40:08,720 --> 01:40:12,040 Speaker 2: committed Christian here in the prison and also started to 1777 01:40:12,120 --> 01:40:16,559 Speaker 2: learn many Jewish traditions, as well. He came to the 1778 01:40:16,600 --> 01:40:20,839 Speaker 2: Prison Fellowship Academy with a letter from the International Fellowship 1779 01:40:20,840 --> 01:40:26,080 Speaker 2: of Christians and Jews, crying, saying, after reading the testimonies 1780 01:40:26,120 --> 01:40:30,400 Speaker 2: of the help that they do, he said, I, instead 1781 01:40:30,439 --> 01:40:33,360 Speaker 2: of spending twenty five dollars that I could buy something 1782 01:40:33,400 --> 01:40:37,680 Speaker 2: special for Christmas, to have some cookies or something. Isaiah 1783 01:40:37,680 --> 01:40:40,240 Speaker 2: says in Isaiah fifty eight. And he read from Rabbi 1784 01:40:40,320 --> 01:40:43,960 Speaker 2: Nachmani Breslov some books that he read. He said, I, 1785 01:40:44,520 --> 01:40:47,799 Speaker 2: when you fast, you also have to give charity. Instead 1786 01:40:47,800 --> 01:40:51,519 Speaker 2: of spending that money on myself, I want to spend 1787 01:40:51,520 --> 01:40:54,320 Speaker 2: that money to give to charity. And the pastor who 1788 01:40:54,360 --> 01:40:57,680 Speaker 2: was teaching the Prison Fellowship, she said she was inspired 1789 01:40:57,680 --> 01:41:00,840 Speaker 2: by that. The guard who was standing there said he's 1790 01:41:00,880 --> 01:41:02,960 Speaker 2: also going to give, and some of the inmates said 1791 01:41:03,360 --> 01:41:06,800 Speaker 2: the same thing.
