18
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:42,319
Speaker 2: Thank you. There are a lot of people that work

19
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 2: very hard to make it happen, and there are a

20
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 2: lot of great people who sponsor our show too and

Speaker 2: make it complimentary to you, like US medical plan dot com.

22
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 2: My friend John Roulman at US medical Plan dot com

23
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 2: is doing something with health insurance that there aren't many

24
00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 2: people in the country doing, and that is plugging you

25
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 2: in into about one hundred or so different private health

26
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 2: insurance companies across the country to give you the very

27
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 2: very best rates. Now, listen, I understand that right now,

28
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 2: particularly this time of year, is when people are doing

29
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 2: the open enrollment thing and they are very very confused.

30
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 2: If you are a supplemental health insurance buyer with Medicare,

31
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 2: there are a lot of choices out there. Are you

32
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 2: getting the best rates? Hard to know? John knows, though,

33
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 2: You've just got to give him a couple of minutes

34
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 2: on the phone. It will take a couple of minutes,

35
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 2: but you will save money. And you know how I

36
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 2: know because my own parents have saved hundreds of dollars

37
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 2: a month with John Rouman at US Medical plan dot com. Now,

38
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 2: if you are a small business owner and you'd like

39
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 2: to buy insurance for your employees, but you want to

40
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 2: save a buck or two, John knows exactly the best

41
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 2: rates on group insurance. You buy your own insurance for

42
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 2: your family in addition to employees, same deal. John's got

43
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 2: the best rates. Do you know. I have a friend

44
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 2: who just got Cobra through John and saved about six

45
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 2: hundred dollars a month versus what she was being offered

46
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 2: through her former employer. John knows how to save you

47
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 2: money and keep you covered in health insurance, but you've

48
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 2: got to make the call eight seven seven four one

51
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 2: good morning, folks, Welcome in and a Merry Christmas to you.

52
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 2: It is good to be with you on this Monday

53
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 2: morning in spite of the news which is very, very heavy. Unfortunately,

54
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 2: it was a pretty dark weekend across the country, around

55
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 2: the world, and look our telephone numbers eight five five

56
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 2: stick all we show up and continue to plow through

57
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 2: it anyway, as we get closer to Christmas, which is

58
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 2: the hope for all of earth, isn't it. I mean,

59
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:42,679
Speaker 2: it was good to be in worship piss today and

60
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 2: remember that that's really what this holiday season is all about.

61
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,839
Speaker 2: And as dark as things may be, that's the light

62
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 2: that we're all hopefully working toward. And so something to

63
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 2: keep in mind. And boy, if you're not a believer,

64
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 2: I hope you become one in a season like this this,

65
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 2: you know. I guess we'll start internationally. We've got Victoria

66
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 2: Coats coming in a little later to talk about this

67
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 2: and what it means exactly. Police say a father and

68
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 2: son were behind the mass shooting that left sixteen people dead,

69
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 2: including one of the gunmen, and forty people hospitalized during

70
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 2: a Honuka celebration at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia. Newth

71
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 2: South Wales Police Commissioner Lanyon said that during a press

72
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 2: conference Monday, Australia in Australia, that a fifty year old

73
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 2: man and his twenty four year old son carried out

74
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 2: the attack. Father is dead, son in critical but stable

75
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 2: condition in the hospital. Father a licensed gun owner with

76
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 2: six legally registered firearms. All six of the firearms have

77
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 2: been recovered, with some being recovered at the scene, others

78
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 2: located and recovered while investigators execute search warrants. You know,

79
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 2: reports are that this was obviously a targeting, specifically of

80
00:03:54,320 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 2: Jewish folks launching their Hanuka celebrations, and that in fact

81
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 2: these guys were their reports are likely Islamists. I'm not

82
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 2: going to go out too far on a limb on

83
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 2: what we know or don't know, because I don't have

84
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 2: all of it in front of me, but it sounds

85
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 2: like that's the reporting that I read sounds like that's

86
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 2: what motivated it. Meanwhile, the shooting here domestically at Brown

87
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 2: University a little less clear. They thought they had nabbed

88
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 2: somebody yesterday. They took somebody of interest in custody but

89
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 2: released that guy. A gunman burst into a classroom at

90
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 2: Brown University in Rhode Island on Saturday, killing two people,

91
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 2: wounding nine others before fleeing the campus. The search dragging

92
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 2: on still. The Ivy League university has lifted their lockdown

93
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 2: early yesterday, but said they canceled all remaining classes and

94
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 2: exams for the rest of the fall semester. Shooting occurring

95
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 2: Saturday afternoon in a room in the Barras and Holly

96
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 2: Building where students were attending a final exam review session

97
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 2: for an economics class. The Brown University president said that

98
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 2: others students inside the building. We're taking final exams and

99
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 2: seeking quiet places to study. First shooting report at four

100
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 2: o'clock in the afternoon, and many students hidden their dorms.

101
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 2: Heavily armed police officers and protective gear running down the street.

102
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 2: Who is the gunman? Authority still searching for this person.

103
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,119
Speaker 2: They said that Sunday night they had released a person

104
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 2: of interest they detained earlier in the day. The Providence

105
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 2: police chief said at a news conference last night, investigators

106
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 2: did not find enough evidence to charge the detained person

107
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 2: in connection with the attack, and they have not named

108
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 2: any other suspects so far. So it you know, yesterday

109
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 2: the President called a press conference to the White House

110
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 2: lit what he did, what they call lift a lid

111
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 2: on of the weekend or Sunday activities, and gathered some folks,

112
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 2: made some brief comments off the top here about these

113
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 2: two incidents. Let's go to number ninety four. Yes, pay

114
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 2: my respects to the people.

115
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 6: Unfortunately two are no longer with us Brown University, nine

116
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 6: injured and two are looking down on us.

117
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 7: Right now from heaven.

118
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 6: And likewise, in Australia, as you.

119
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 2: Know, that was a terrible attack.

120
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 6: Eleven did, twenty nine badly wounded, and that was an

121
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 6: antisemitic attack obviously, and that I just want to pay

122
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 6: my respects to everybody, I must say. In Syria also

123
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 6: we had an attack in Syria and we had three

124
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 6: great patriots terminated by bad people and not the Syrian government.

125
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 6: There was isis Syrian government foot by our side. The

126
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 6: new president fought by our side, but I just want

127
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 6: to pay my respects to the families. We also had

128
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 6: three injured, but two of them are already out of

129
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 6: the hospital.

130
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 8: Once going to be okay, but we lost through.

131
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 2: So it was a rough It was a rough day.

132
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 6: But to Australian, the Prime Minister, to everybody that we

133
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 6: know so well, we get along with so well, well

134
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 6: have a great relationship, that's a terrible situation going on

135
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 6: over there, think of that, yeah.

136
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 2: And he went on to mention and I didn't in

137
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 2: the reporting in that Australian shooting incident, someone did actually

138
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 2: finally inject themselves in the situation. I don't know if

139
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 2: you saw the footage specifically of that Australian event, but

140
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 2: some people had a vantage point and did you see

141
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 2: any of the footage of these two this father son

142
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 2: duo apparently shooting from this bridge and there were people

143
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 2: with phones. I don't know, I guess from a decent distance.

144
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 2: I don't know where they were taking the footage, but

145
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 2: there was footage of these guys just plain as day,

146
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 2: standing on a bridge, just firing at people. And I

147
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 2: don't know where people had the cell phone footage where

148
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 2: they were recording it. But it was just a I mean,

149
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 2: I'm sorry to sound vulgar, but it was kind of

150
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 2: a Turkey shoot of sorts. These guys were just standing

151
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 2: there firing away. And finally somebody I guess engaged at

152
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 2: one point and took one of them down with his

153
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 2: own gun, or at least held him at bay with

154
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 2: his own gun. But these guys just fired away uncumbered

155
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 2: for some time. You see any of that footage I did.

156
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 7: That's what was so scary, Chris, is that there was

157
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 7: nobody really rushing to kind of stop them. Everybody was.

158
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 7: Everything that I saw from the vantage points, as you said,

159
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 7: was people filming. But when they did find that guy,

160
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 7: the good samaritan who took the guy down, even he

161
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 7: let the terrorists live, like he didn't shoot and kill him.

162
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 7: And now I don't know if he didn't know maybe

163
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 7: the gun he didn't know how to operate it, or

164
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,679
Speaker 7: if there weren't any wasn't any ammunition left. But then

165
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 7: the dad or whoever whoever gets back to the bridge

166
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 7: picks up a gun and starts firing again. Like what

167
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 7: took the police so long?

168
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 9: You know?

169
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 2: And I don't want to be callous about it. Right now.

170
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 2: But I will say that I saw some people, you know,

171
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 2: in Australai. You some commentators saying, oh, this is just

172
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 2: so shocking because it doesn't happen here, because and I quote,

173
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 2: we have the strictest gun laws in the world. I

174
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 2: heard a couple of people saying, through their grief, we

175
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 2: have the strictest gun laws in the world. How does

176
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 2: this happen? And all I kept thinking to myself was

177
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 2: you have the strictest gun laws in the world because

178
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 2: people know that they can show up and start shooting

179
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 2: on people like this and there's no recourse, and it

180
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 2: may take I mean, they may be able to carry

181
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 2: out an attack like this to your point ed for

182
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 2: minutes upon minutes upon minutes uninterrupted. Now, look, you can

183
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 2: say whatever you want about the gun culture in the

184
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 2: United States. I'm not even going to debate it with you.

185
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 2: But do you think in this day and age, with

186
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 2: the number of concealed carries in our midst do you

187
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 2: think somebody is going to be able to just openly

188
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 2: shoot on people for that period of time uninterrupted in

189
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 2: the United States in twenty twenty five. I don't think so.

190
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 2: I wouldn't bet on it. I mean, if I look,

191
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 2: if I'm just a wacko and I'm going to walk

192
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 2: into a place and start opening fire, I that's the

193
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 2: day I die. I presume that I'm gone. These guys

194
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 2: seem to be able to operate with impunity and not

195
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 2: really fear any kind of retaliation whatsoever, even well I'm

196
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 2: still alive.

197
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 7: Amazingly, we've seen it in action, Chris. There's been at

198
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 7: least two instances in the last three years of churches

199
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 7: where someone walked in with a firearm, went to open fire,

200
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 7: and whoever was on security popped them right away. The

201
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 7: good guy with the guys.

202
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't you know, I don't have to

203
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 2: talk about it. But what I love and know about

204
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 2: my church is every door is watched, every door is manned,

205
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 2: and every guy at every door is ready to go

206
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 2: if need be. I'll just leave it at that, because

207
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 2: you know, you can't these days, you just can't. You know,

208
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 2: this kind of badness is sadly becoming more prolific, and

209
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 2: the weapon of choice matters. Not because, after all, we've

210
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 2: certainly seen stabbings, but if it's going to be guns,

211
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 2: you want to be out. You don't want to be

212
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 2: out gunned. That's the point you want people if they're

213
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 2: going to try something like this, You want people to

214
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 2: think twice about it, or at least really lives. If

215
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:01,559
Speaker 2: they're going to do it, it's not going to take

216
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 2: long before they're done. These guys didn't appear to I mean,

217
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 2: they came with something like how many guns that I said,

218
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 2: nine registered weapons or some such thing.

219
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 7: A lot.

220
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 2: I don't know if it was nine, but it was

221
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 2: quite a few. President Trump did address the citizen in

222
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 2: Australia who eventually approached one of these gunmen, not number

223
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 2: ninety five.

224
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 6: So we don't get ourselves in any trouble, but they

225
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 6: have a person of interest at Brown And in Australia

226
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 6: we probably read it's been there's been a very very

227
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 6: brave person actually who went and attacked frontally one of

228
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 6: the shooters and saved a lot of lives. So very

229
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 6: brave person who's right now in the hospital pretty seriously wounded.

230
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 6: So great respect to that man that did that.

231
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 2: So's that's what we know about these two instances at

232
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 2: the moment. There's not much more to report. They thought

233
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,079
Speaker 2: they had a die, I am sure. I mean, they've

234
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 2: they've got some video of this guy at Brown kind

235
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 2: of casually walking down the street and around the corner.

236
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 2: I suspect they're probably going to close in on whoever

237
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 2: this is anytime soon, of course, if we get more

238
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 2: information on it. It strikes me very similarly as sort

239
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,559
Speaker 2: of a Luisy Mangioni kind of a thing, right ed,

240
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 2: Probably a couple of days maybe whoever this guy is

241
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 2: on foot. I mean these days, you know, with cell

242
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 2: phone pinging and all the cameras everywhere, license plate tracking.

243
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 2: I mean, we saw this with the Charlie Kirk shooting.

244
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 2: They catch these guys, it's just a matter of win.

245
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 7: Now. Having been through this a few times in law

246
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 7: enforcement officials that speak to this show, at least, I

247
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 7: do have confidence that yes, they're on it, because you know,

248
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 7: we went through Daniello Cavalcanti, Luigi Mangioni, like we I

249
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 7: think we can say he's got it.

250
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's you know, what do you say about evil?

251
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 2: What do you say about darkness? It always is, it

252
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 2: always has been, it always will be. Until we're all

253
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 2: home and we pray for those families. It's a tough

254
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 2: time of year. It's never an easy time of year

255
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 2: when things like this happened particularly right now, more in

256
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 2: a moment. Meanwhile, one other bit of news that broke

257
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 2: out yesterday afternoon is the death of Rob Reiner and

258
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 2: his wife, which appears to be if People magazine reporting

259
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 2: is to be believed, and that of all places, it's

260
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,599
Speaker 2: not even TMZ. It's People magazine is the first to

261
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 2: report it that I'm seeing. They're saying that I guess

262
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 2: his son, one of his sons, Rob Reiner's son and

263
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 2: his wife Michelle, they have three kids, and one of

264
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 2: them is apparently historically pretty troubled, has had trouble with drugs,

265
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 2: has been in and out of harmlessness. I was just

266
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 2: reading a little about him last night and said he

267
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 2: had been pretty clean and sober for a while, working

268
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 2: on projects with his dad. It didn't look like as

269
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 2: of twenty sixteen, seventeen. I was reading some interviews from

270
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,040
Speaker 2: back then that said he was doing okay. So no,

271
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 2: but people are saying that Rob Reiner and his wife

272
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 2: Michelle were found stabbed to death in their home, and

273
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 2: that it was his son that's being questioned on the murders.

274
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 2: Reading this from The New York Times found it in

275
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 2: their home Sunday in Los Angeles officials say they're investigating

276
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 2: the deaths is homicides. Reiner's seventy eight. Unclear how they died,

277
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 2: as the New York Times, but again people saying it's

278
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 2: their son, which is just unthinkable if true. LA Police

279
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 2: Department said they're investigating and apparent homicide. News of the

280
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 2: deaths spread quickly, of course. Officers responded to the deaths

281
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 2: at the home around three point forty in the afternoon

282
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 2: West Coast time on Sunday. Police identified it as mister

283
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 2: Reiner's residence and said that officers discovered two bodies inside,

284
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 2: treating it as a homicide investigation. So I just don't

285
00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 2: you know, Look, what do you say about that, other

286
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 2: than it's unthinkable and unimaginable if true, that this is

287
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 2: the hands of your own son. I mean, I think

288
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 2: about the brother and sister of this guy, the surviving

289
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 2: children of the winers. Can you imagine that kind of

290
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 2: thing in your own family. I can't even get my

291
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 2: head wrapped around it. One of your siblings kills your parents.

292
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't even know how you process that. Frankly, No,

293
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 2: it's just such a human tragedy.

294
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's one of those things that when you hear

295
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 7: about it and when it pops up, brings into question

296
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 7: everything in your life, of course, but it's scary in

297
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 7: a different way because you never think that that could happen,

298
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 7: you know, until it does.

299
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean when I first heard it, I thought, well,

300
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 2: I mean I thought the first thing when I read it,

301
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 2: I thought, okay, like a carbon monoxide event. And then

302
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 2: you hear they're stabbed, and you think, okay, well, then

303
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 2: someone broke in and robbed them was the next thing.

304
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 2: I thought. It's tragic and awful still, but I thought, okay,

305
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 2: someone was robbing them at the hands of their own son.

306
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 2: Perhaps People Magazine is reporting. I don't have that confirmed independently,

307
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 2: but that's what People Magazine is saying, And if so,

308
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 2: I don't I'm not sure what you do with that.

309
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 2: That's that is a mental illness, obviously, and apparently a

310
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 2: pretty heavy drug addict at one point. I don't know

311
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 2: if that's still the case here. I mean, we'll know more.

312
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 2: I'm sure we'll learn more in the days and hours

313
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 2: to come, but geesh, So those are the very very

314
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 2: heavy stories here, CARDI. Let me get you quickly here

315
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 2: in California, I don't have a ton of time, Cardi,

316
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 2: but go ahead, you got about thirty seconds.

317
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 10: Marry Christmas, Chris and frastready real quick. Australia, when you

318
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 10: disarm the people, that's never going to work out, and

319
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 10: when you let math migration of people that don't assimulate,

320
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 10: there's the problem. And I'm not ashamed to say that.

321
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 10: And people shouldn't say, well, I'm sorry to say that.

322
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 10: You should never be sorry and go on your convictions.

323
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 2: Thank you, yeah, thank you, Cardi. I appreciate it. No,

324
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 2: you can't take firearms out of the hands of people.

325
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 2: And yes, you're right. I mean I don't will know more,

326
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 2: we'll learn more about who these assassins are in Australia.

327
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 2: But it does it does sound like it's a migration problem. Look,

328
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 2: Paris has canceled their New Year's Eve parade in celebration

329
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 2: on the champsi les A because the violence is too great.

330
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 2: More a minute. That's a depressed town. I'll tell you

331
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 2: if eever there was one. And that's you know, all

332
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 2: the serious news set aside for a minute the non

333
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 2: serious news. But for people that follow uh sports, that's yesterday.

334
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes suffers a knee injury. That's likely gonna It's

335
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 2: a torn ACL is what it sounds like. And so

336
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 2: Mahomes missing the playoffs for the first time in a

337
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 2: decade and probably now. I mean, depending on who you

338
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 2: listen to, torn ACL that's never good. That's like minimum

339
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 2: nine months recovery and who knows, maybe more so that's

340
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 2: going to be well into next year. So you may

341
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:53,880
Speaker 2: be talking about a season starting next year. Fast Eddie

342
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 2: would know Pat Mahomes at all.

343
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 7: You know what, if it's going to happen, happen now

344
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 7: during this season. I feel so bad, man. That is

345
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 7: just that's a loss for the sports world as a whole.

346
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 2: If it's uh and it was yeah, ugly, ugly, ugly

347
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 2: season in general, it's one of those things where you

348
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 2: would have rather than that happened to him and he

349
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 2: just kind of sit down and call it the season

350
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 2: and be done. So eliminated from the playoffs yesterday, and

351
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 2: then that on top of it, it's like insult to injury.

352
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,479
Speaker 2: But yes, so that's that's yeah. For people that follow sports,

353
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 2: that's a weird event. Ten years he's been in the

354
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,160
Speaker 2: postseason until this one.

355
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 7: I just thought, yeah, I remember seeing him for the

356
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 7: first time. It was actually on a business trip at

357
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,360
Speaker 7: a huge sports bar and just seeing him make that,

358
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,679
Speaker 7: like that crazy shovel pass and the different things that

359
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 7: he's done. It's like I've I've watched Patrick Mahomes from

360
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 7: the very beginning. I can't say that with every other

361
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 7: legendary quarterback that we've seen, and it's it's this one

362
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 7: hurts bad.

363
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, And of course you know, now that also means

364
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 2: a guy like Andy Reid, who's been around forever and

365
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 2: they've been together for a very long time. Does you know,

366
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 2: Andy Reid start to consider what does the season look

367
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 2: like without Patrick Mahomes headed into the fall?

368
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 7: You know, Andy Reid's built so many quarterbacks. I don't

369
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 7: know how you. I don't know how you build another

370
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 7: one if you, I mean, he could, he is that good.

371
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 7: He could do it, but I don't. Patrick Mahomes is

372
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 7: pretty unique.

373
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's gonna be an interesting thing to see

374
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 2: how the soldier a head there in Kansas City. But anyway,

375
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 2: so that's that's the news there if you're a Chiefs fan.

376
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 2: On top of all the other serious and real news,

377
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 2: there's that to end your weekend. So oof eight five

378
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 2: five stigall is how you reach us today if you'd

379
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 2: like to get in here, always welcome you. And by

380
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 2: the way, may I just say let me take a

381
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,959
Speaker 2: minute here and say to you, I just looked at

382
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 2: this this morning. I hadn't looked over the weekend. I've

383
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 2: kept it in prayer because I have no doubt. I

384
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 2: don't I don't even think about it with you people.

385
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 2: I said a couple of weeks ago to the folks

386
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 2: at the Angel Tree Prison Fellowship Ministry that we're going

387
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 2: to try to raise enough funds to get twenty six

388
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 2: hundred kids taken care of with a this year from

389
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,679
Speaker 2: the Prison Fellowship folks. And what is this if for

390
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 2: some reason you're new to the show or you're just

391
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 2: happening by it and you haven't heard about this, the

392
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:13,199
Speaker 2: Prison Fellowship team, this ministry, if ever we need it,

393
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 2: if ever people need it, if ever hearts need it, now,

394
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 2: it's now more than ever they need it now. And

395
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:22,919
Speaker 2: the Prison Fellowship people introduce children homes that have an

396
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,439
Speaker 2: incarcerated parent, Children who may feel like they don't have

397
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 2: a whole lot going on in their lives, not a

398
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 2: lot of joy, wondering if mom or dad is even

399
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 2: thinking about them this Christmas. Maybe they don't have much

400
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 2: of a Christmas at all. I don't know if you

401
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 2: grew up not having a parent around or not knowing

402
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,199
Speaker 2: if your parent was thinking about you at Christmas. If

403
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 2: you did, you know what that feels like. Prison Fellowship

404
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 2: wants to do something about that. They allow with a

405
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 2: thirty dollars gift. And that's all. It takes thirty bucks. Now,

406
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 2: you know as well as I do. You can go

407
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 2: out and blow thirty bucks at wah wah or quick

408
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 2: trip or wherever you may stop for your coffee and

409
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 2: maybe a snack or two, certainly feeling up a gas tank.

410
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 2: But you can't get two pizzas for thirty dollars for

411
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:05,919
Speaker 2: revens sakes. But you know what Prison Fellowship can do

412
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 2: with thirty dollars. They can get a gift in a

413
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,120
Speaker 2: child's hand, with a handwritten note from their incarcerated parent

414
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 2: letting them know they're being thought of. And most importantly,

415
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 2: they get a Bible in their hands with that gift,

416
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 2: and that may be the first introduction to scripture that

417
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 2: that home may know. And statistically this helps break the

418
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 2: cycle we know of violence and criminality when young children

419
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 2: are exposed to this kind of hope and this kind

420
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 2: of kindness at a time they desperately need it. I

421
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 2: hope you can help. So far looked at it. We've

422
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 2: now hit a place where we're inside that threshold. I

423
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 2: wanted to get this week to a thousand kids left,

424
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 2: and you've done that. You really came through this week,

425
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 2: and I think we're at something like seventeen one hundred

426
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 2: and twenty five something like that. But we're really close now.

427
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 2: Again set the goal to take care of twenty six

428
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 2: hundred kids, and i'd really we've still got some time,

429
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 2: but I would really like to get this done by

430
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:10,640
Speaker 2: the week's end. So I'm looking to push to see

431
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 2: if we can't get this thing all wrapped up in

432
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 2: the next five days, and depending on who's feeling extra generous,

433
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 2: we could get it done sooner than that. I never

434
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 2: want to pressure anybody. Thirty bucks for some people is

435
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 2: a lot for some of you who've been blessed, not

436
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 2: as big as an inconvenience. If you can help, will you

437
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 2: do it today? Listen to an ambassador with Prison Fellowship

438
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 2: Germaine here, former prisoner himself. Take a listen to this.

439
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 9: There wasn't a Christmas that went by where he didn't

440
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 9: hear or receive something from his dad. So that void

441
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 9: that he, like most kids have, my son was able

442
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 9: to have that void fulfilled during Christmas time because gifts

443
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 9: always came on behalf of his dad, and so he

444
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,199
Speaker 9: knows Dad was there during the holiday season. Although he

445
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 9: couldn't see me that day. The gifts was a great

446
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 9: representation and filled my spot.

447
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 2: So we have made this that's really easy. I hope

448
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 2: for you to give if you can do it. Thirty

449
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,679
Speaker 2: bucks gets one child cared for for this Christmas season

450
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 2: and you can do the math from there. Sixty dollars

451
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 2: takes care too, and so on. Can you help us?

452
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 2: Can you get us to this goal of twenty six

453
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 2: hundred kids again? I think we're getting real close to

454
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 2: eighteen hundred kids, which is awesome. You guys. I so

455
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 2: blessed to know that this audience I can count on

456
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 2: you to have these kids back this great work that

457
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 2: the Prison Fellowship folks do. I can't say enough about them,

458
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:29,879
Speaker 2: and I always encourage you to do your own research

459
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 2: on Prison Fellowship if you like, because I know you're

460
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,479
Speaker 2: discerning and it matters where your dollars go Chris Stigall

461
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 2: dot com. There's a banner there. Easy way to do

462
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 2: this too. You can text my name Chris. We just

463
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,919
Speaker 2: set this up late last week. Text my name Chris

491
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:01,400
Speaker 2: All right, let me so I can say I addressed

492
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:05,199
Speaker 2: it today. Is supposed to be as I understand it.

493
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 2: Unless this has changed, I haven't followed it closely. The

494
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:12,880
Speaker 2: Turning Point, folks, Charlie's organization, Turning Point USA is supposed

495
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 2: to or was supposed to have a live stream sort

496
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 2: of broad based address tackling all the assertions that people

497
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 2: like Candace Owens and others have made at their organization.

498
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 2: Is that true?

499
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 6: Ed?

500
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 2: That was my understanding of it. A couple of weeks

501
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,239
Speaker 2: ago they invited Candace to be a part of it.

502
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 2: She once said any time, anywhere, absolutely, I'll be there,

503
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 2: and then as soon as they said, okay, December fifteenth,

504
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,360
Speaker 2: be there. We're going to address everything you had to say.

505
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 2: We'd love to have you, she said, oh, I can't

506
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 2: possibly make December fifteenth, and so she's backed out of it.

507
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 2: As I understand it, there's a bit of a bit

508
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 2: of a dynamic that's changed on the ground. I'll update

509
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 2: you on a second here. But the turning point, folks

510
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 2: are still going forward with that or do you know different?

511
00:25:55,880 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 7: I I don't know that she's she's still I'm not

512
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 7: going to be it's not going to be in any

513
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 7: time anywhere for us to see type deal.

514
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 2: Well I know Candace isn't. But are the turning point

515
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 2: people are still going to do the live stream where

516
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 2: they address everything that she said. That was what they

517
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 2: said they were going to do today, regardless of participation.

518
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 2: I wonder if that's still happening.

519
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 7: Okay, I to be determined, because there's something that has

520
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:18,360
Speaker 7: popped up since then.

521
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 2: Actually, right, this is the this is the new news.

522
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 2: And I look, I said this yesterday on X to

523
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 2: Erica Kirk. She's a better Christian than me. I commend

524
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 2: her for doing this. I don't know that it ends

525
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 2: well for if I'm going to be completely truthful, because

526
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 2: I don't think you're dealing with a person of goodwill

527
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 2: at all in Candace owns and good will matters. By

528
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 2: the way, can we just stop for a minute and

529
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 2: say goodwill matters? Okay? Like regard, I don't care what

530
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:54,439
Speaker 2: you think you know for real, I don't care what

531
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 2: the real scoop is. I don't care what real story

532
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 2: you're not being hold you think you know. I don't care.

533
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 2: There's something called good will, and it's lacking in this country,

534
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 2: and it's really lacking with people like Candace Goodwill just

535
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 2: being a decent person, not being wicked and nasty toward

536
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 2: a woman who's just lost her husband, Like I don't.

537
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 2: I can't get my head wrapped around it. And Erica,

538
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 2: I think, with as much dignity as she can Muster

539
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 2: has been going around and doing media stops and talking

540
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 2: about Charlie's latest book and trying to directly address this

541
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 2: stuff without having to say her by name, and now

542
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 2: posts on social media Erica Kirk announcing yesterday she intends

543
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 2: to meet with Candace Owens today in person. Candace Owens

544
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 2: and I have agreed that public discussions, live streams and

545
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 2: tweets are on hold until after this meeting. So turning point,

546
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 2: I guess that answers our question was scheduled to have

547
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 2: a big live stream today to address Cannon. Candace said

548
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 2: I'm not coming. Turning Points said, we're going ahead with

549
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 2: it anyway, And now Erica says, yesterday, Candace and I

550
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 2: are going to sit down privately, and so all tweets

551
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 2: are on hold until after this meeting. What do you

552
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 2: think of that?

553
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 7: Head, I'm hoping for some kind of real resolution. I'm

554
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,120
Speaker 7: hoping that it's not a show on either of their

555
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 7: First of.

556
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 2: All, zero chance, I mean, let's just can I just

557
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 2: say this, Zero chance Candice Owens goes away. Zero chance,

558
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 2: Candice Owens shuts her fat mouth. Zero chance. Candice Owens

559
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 2: is of goodwill. Zero chance. Candice Owens gives even Christmas

560
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 2: a break. Zero chance. Zero chance. Having said that, Erica

561
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 2: Kirk is hopeful, I suppose what would you advise Erica

562
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 2: Kirk to do were she to ask. I'll tell you

563
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 2: one thing I'd advise her to do. Have a camera

564
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 2: rolling and Mike's open record every last minute of this raw.

565
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 7: Yes, uh yeah, definitely. I mean you have to you

566
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 7: have to do.

567
00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 2: You don't sit down with this woman without recording every

568
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 2: last word of it. If you don't do it, I

569
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 2: hope she knows that anyway, shouldn't be with you. And

570
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 2: Merry Christmas. It's a beautiful looking sunrise this morning in Washington,

571
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 2: d C. Where time's a ticken. Not much left to

572
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 2: discuss Obamacare and whether we will have an extension of

573
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 2: the existing subsidies where Republicans offer something different. Of course,

574
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 2: you know, the Democrats want to do nothing but just

575
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 2: rubber stamp the existing subsidies for another three years. They

576
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 2: want to take them through Trump's term and then they

577
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 2: want to run on it. I mean, right, if you're

578
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 2: going to do the math, it's pretty good that the

579
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 2: Democrats say we want a three year extension on Obamacare.

580
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 2: Why three? I mean, like, if you're Democrats, do the

581
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 2: math on it. If you're Democrats, why say three? Walk

582
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 2: it out? What's three years from now presidential elections? That's

583
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 2: what's three years from now? I mean, if you're that

584
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 2: committed and you're that serious to it, why not say five?

585
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 2: Why not say ten? Why not say let's put this

586
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 2: to bed and let's subsidize insurance for everyone forever, and

587
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 2: let's just not put a ceiling on it if you're

588
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 2: serious about it. Of course they're not. They know it's

589
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 2: a political weapon, so that's why they've said three year extension.

590
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 2: Republicans say no, all right, Well, come the turn of

591
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 2: the calendar. That means people's insurance rates are going to

592
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 2: go up, and so will Republicans get blamed? Are they

593
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 2: going to be able to explain their way out of this?

594
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 2: Will they be able to offer something different? I mean,

595
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 2: with the what two weeks we have left? Two full

596
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 2: weeks left, and I'm not even sure they're going to

597
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 2: govern for a full two weeks if at all. I

598
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 2: don't know what will come of it. But I appreciate

599
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 2: that Erica Kirk is trying to extend goodwill here to

600
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 2: someone who does not deserve it. And this is again

601
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 2: why she's a better Christian than me. Cannice Owens. If

602
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 2: I'm in Erica Kirk's position, deserves no quarter, she deserves

603
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 2: no compassion, she deserves no open arms, she deserves no

604
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 2: private meetings. She does not deserve the dignity of being

605
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 2: addressed directly. She has no knowledge of the inner workings

606
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 2: of this organization or what's going on inside the Kirk home.

607
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 2: She has done nothing but bully and harass and badger

608
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 2: this family going through terrible grief, And now they're granting

609
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 2: her the opportunity to sit down face to face with

610
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 2: them today and I don't know what, I guess try

611
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 2: to answer her questions to the best of their ability.

612
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 2: Do you think she's going to come away? Folks? I

613
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 2: told you what this is. It's revelation addiction, and Candace

614
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 2: Owens has built a show on it. Then she's not alone.

615
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 2: Of course, I do find it interesting that Megan Kelly

616
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 2: has all of the sudden decided to weigh in at

617
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 2: least a little bit, certainly not by name. But I

618
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 2: find it interesting that all of a sudden Megan has

619
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 2: decided to address sort of address Candace Owens a little bit. Again,

620
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 2: not by name. Number eighty six. Here's Megan weighing in

621
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 2: on this.

622
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 11: Finally, because I am a sane person who understands the law,

623
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 11: I also know that the FBI hello does not run

624
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 11: around updating its investigation and releasing the very latest on

625
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 11: what they found, and people who are demanding that the

626
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 11: FBI or DOJ do so do not know anything about

627
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 11: law enforcement. Some of us have been covering in depth

628
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 11: legal cases and matters and have even tried cases and

629
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 11: matters for years.

630
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: That is how I have spent the.

631
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 11: Past thirty years of my life plus trying cases involved

632
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 11: in the legal system, as a trial attorney, then a

633
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 11: Supreme Court correspondent covering cases civil and criminal, then as

634
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 11: a legal correspondent for Fox News, legal commentator for Fox News,

635
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 11: and ever thereafter.

636
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 1: And let me tell you something. The FBI does.

637
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 11: Not run around updating its information after somebody gets indicted.

638
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 2: It doesn't.

639
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 1: It would be extraordinary, That's right.

640
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 2: So you know, Look, you don't have to be a

641
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 2: legal correspondent and practice law for three hundred years to

642
00:32:55,560 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 2: understand that. You hope she's addressing people like Canvas who

643
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 2: think that the FBI, like we, deserve regular briefings on

644
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 2: what they know when you're trying to prosecute a guy.

645
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 2: But I will just say I admire Erica Kirk tremendously

646
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 2: for trying to do what she's going to do today

647
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 2: with Candice Owans. But I know, I think we all

648
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 2: understand who Candiss Owans is. She has built and to

649
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 2: her credit, she has built a cult like following that

650
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 2: is rabid for her content and good for her. I mean,

651
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 2: it's a great business model. You know, people, what are

652
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 2: you jealous? Stick on? I mean, I guess jealous in

653
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 2: the sense. Look, do I wish that I had such

654
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 2: rapt attention from people, you know, that they were throwing

655
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 2: watch parties to consume this show. I mean, I guess.

656
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 2: But I'm not going to create fan fiction to do it.

657
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 2: I'm not going to drag widows and grieving families and

658
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,719
Speaker 2: parents through the mud to do it. I'm not going

659
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 2: to make wild accusations that I can't prove to do it.

660
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 2: Look when Alex Jones comes out over the weekend and says,

661
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 2: Alex Jones ed, this is where we are. Alex Jones

662
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:08,400
Speaker 2: comes out over the weekend and says, you know, I

663
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 2: think we all ought to calm down a little bit.

664
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 2: The right's getting kind of fractured.

665
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 7: Welcome to the party.

666
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 2: Indeed more in a minute. Yes, I know it's the holidays.

667
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 2: I know this is not a time of year most

668
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 2: people think about losing weight. But you know, our executive

669
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 2: producer Fast Eddie is doing it. He's using PhD weight

670
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 2: Loss right now as a weight loss tool. Through the

671
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 2: holiday season. It can be done. And you know how,

672
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 2: I know in just two weeks time. Right now as

673
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 2: we speak, he's on the program, and the first two

674
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,399
Speaker 2: weeks of the program he's already dropped eight pounds. Now,

675
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 2: you know, I told you the reason he's doing it

676
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,839
Speaker 2: because I told you I lost forty pounds in under

677
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 2: four months earlier this year. Eddie said, I want to

678
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 2: try it. I said, it's almost the holidays. He said,

679
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:55,839
Speaker 2: I don't care. I want to try it. And he's

680
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 2: lost eight pounds in two weeks time. He works with

681
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 2: his counselor the same as I I work with my counselor.

682
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 2: I've kept the weight off. I'm going to probably go

683
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 2: for another twenty in the new year. But the point

684
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,399
Speaker 2: is right now, I've hit idle on purpose. I'm maintaining

685
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 2: my weight loss because my counselor at PhD Weight Loss

686
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 2: has taught me exactly what I need to do to

687
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 2: maintain maintain, and then when I want to re engage

688
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 2: and kick it into full gear and start losing more

689
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 2: than the new year, I can. The best part about

690
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 2: PhD Weight Loss this time of year is they're very

691
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 2: well aware this is a hard time to get people

692
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 2: motivated to lose weight. But if you find yourself motivated

693
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 2: like fast Eddie is, they're going to give you a

694
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 2: heck of a deal. Right now. They're making it even

695
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 2: easier to get started because they're going to waive your

696
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 2: consultation fee entirely. They're going to add two weeks to

697
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 2: your program totally free, and they're going to cover all

698
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 2: costs of food. This will be now. Everybody's going to

699
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 2: start trying to lose weight in January. Everybody will call

700
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 2: and you're not going to get a deal like this.

701
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 2: Then you start this program. Now you're going to get

702
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 2: a huge savings and doctor Ashley Lucas is going to

703
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,879
Speaker 2: throw in her brand new book, which is also a

704
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 2: great read. She is Maha as they get. She has

Speaker 2: answer Am nine seventy the answer in New York and

724
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 2: its surrounding areas. That's probably somewhere that looks to be

725
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 2: maybe like a Staten island or something. Maybe maybe oh,

726
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 2: it's a nice, well lit neighborhood out there. Fast EDDI

727

Speaker 2: you're in or around this area one of these days,

730
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:24,759
Speaker 2: this is one of the great things you can do

731
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 2: with kids rights take them on this train ride. And

732
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 2: Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania. Those of you who don't live there

733
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 2: don't know about that place. I didn't know about it

734
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 2: until I lived out there. It is just one of

735
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 2: the great magical kind of Christmas settings. And you get

736
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 2: a nice snowfall dumped on this weekend that came a

737
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 2: little late. Did you get the snowfall while you were

738
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 2: riding the train, because that would have been magical.

739
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 7: No, But but going through the Lee High Gorge there,

740
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 7: that was very there was it was already covered in

741
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 7: snow from the previous week so that was that was

742
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 7: good enough.

743
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 2: Tell people what this is just if you had not

744
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 2: been before, because this is I commended to people if

745
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 2: they're traveling and they want like a nice vacation getaway spot.

746
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 2: This is great in summer or winter. Absolutely, it's a no.

747
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 2: Jim Thorpe's actually called the Switzerland of America. It's one

748
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:11,279
Speaker 2: of the top destinations in the country for this kind

749
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 2: of this kind of excursion. But yeah, like if you

750
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 2: look at the town, like the architecture is beautiful. There's

751
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 2: a lot of shops right there on Broadway, which is

752
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 2: the main street, and at the very bottom of the

753
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 2: hill because it's it's it's from a movie, this place.

754
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 2: You go all the way up and you know, the

755
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:31,360
Speaker 2: Molly McGuire, the prison, the whole thing is there. But

756
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 2: at the bottom is a train station and they do

757
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 2: for all seasons, just a classic train ride, and it's

758
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 2: it's just unbelievable. You go right through the Lehigh Gorge

759
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 2: pretty any time of year, really, it really is. I

760
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,919
Speaker 2: just I recommend it if you're traveling or you're looking

761
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 2: for a spot to go visit. Pennsylvania is just a

762
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 2: beautiful state anyway, but that particular part of the region

763
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:58,319
Speaker 2: is just gorgeous. Jim Thorpe, that's cool. And little Eddie

764
00:38:58,360 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 2: loved it. This is a great time of year to

765
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 2: have a little kid. He did.

766
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 7: He was actually he's never really shy, always good, always social.

767
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,240
Speaker 7: He hid from Santa this time, which was strange.

768
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, didn't like Santa. Oh what the heck, Well, you're

769
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 2: one of two kids growing up, like, there's no middle ground.

770
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 2: I don't think it's very rare with little kids. They

771
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:22,799
Speaker 2: either can't wait to go meet Santa or they are

772
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 2: horrified of Santa and the Easter bunny thing that hold

773
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 2: eel and you say, this is the first year he's

774
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:31,360
Speaker 2: decided I don't want him to do with Santa.

775
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, and not a couple of weeks ago, like we

776
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 7: had a hometown tree lighting and he was just like, hey, yeah, yeah,

777
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,320
Speaker 7: this is what I want for Christmas. Over on Saturday.

778
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 7: For some reason, he's like, eh, they put his head down,

779
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 7: and I'm like, what the hell?

780
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 2: Was he like a skivy looking Santa? Did he not

781
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 2: look his jolly? Some of them are, you know, look

782
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 2: like they look like dan Akroyd and trading places Santa.

783
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 2: You know, like some of them look like they kind

784
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 2: of dragged their suit through the mud or something. Was

785
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 2: this a robust, healthy looking Santa. Yeah?

786
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean the frosty the snowman was a bit

787
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 7: creepy looking before him, but the same Anna looked fine.

788
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:01,880
Speaker 4: You know.

789
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 2: Well, I mean you've seen some of these kids' pictures

790
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 2: right where. I mean some of that, particularly some of

791
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 2: the old ones, but even recent like some of those

792
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 2: Easter bunnies in the Sanda is they like they scare me,

793
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 2: and I'm an adult, like I wouldn't sit on their laps, you.

794
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 7: Know, Yeah, yeah, no, that makes sense. I yes, I've

795
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 7: seen them and they're funny, and I was hoping to

796
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 7: have that experience with him because I did take them

797
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 7: to see the Philly fanatic who does the like you

798
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 7: sit on his lap and do that. So I was

799
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 7: hoping for that because the first time he met the

800
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 7: fanatic he freaked out. Now he loves them, but so

801
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 7: but yeah, no, he's never been that way with Santa before.

802
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 7: This was the first time.

803
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 2: I just you know, when you think back as a kid,

804
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:38,239
Speaker 2: I don't know if you have memories of that, but

805
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 2: I adored it, the whole Santa thing. I loved it

806
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:42,800
Speaker 2: as a kid person. Didn't scare me in the least.

807
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 2: I loved it, couldn't wait for it. Just you remember

808
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,399
Speaker 2: going to the you know, the living room, looking under

809
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 2: the tree, couldn't sleep, the whole bit. I have totally

810
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 2: fond memories of that. I don't know if every kid

811
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 2: does or not. Some always seem like they've just been

812
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 2: tortured by it.

813
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, but that's strange to no.

814
00:40:58,600 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 4: Chris.

815
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 7: My experience is the same as yours. High the build

816
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 7: up to Christmas, like thinking he's watching them. When you

817
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 7: do sit on his lap and you talk to him,

818
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 7: it's like well, you've got to be respectful. You better

819
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 7: be nice, you know.

820
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 2: Beyond your best. Fe Absolutely, it's so much fun. Well

821
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 2: that's good. That is exciting stuff that it is, you know,

822
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 2: this time of year, watching little kids get excited about it,

823
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 2: Christmas parades and saying and all that stuff put you

824
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 2: in a good mood. It's hard not to be in

825
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 2: a good mood when you're around that, even with the

826
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 2: news as it is. Our telephone number is eighty five

827
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 2: five Stigall if you want to get in here. Axios

828
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 2: headline today Trump's article of faith economy will soar in

829
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 2: twenty six Well, article of faith or data? President Trump

830
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:46,240
Speaker 2: and his advisors of an almost messianic belief the economy

831
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 2: will take off in the first quarter of next year,

832
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 2: based largely on stimulus from the one big, beautiful bill

833
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 2: he's signed. Stimulus. Stimulus, I bet so like that coach playoffs.

834
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:00,080
Speaker 2: What do you mean stimulus? Do you mean allowing for

835
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,759
Speaker 2: people to keep more of their own money come tax time?

836
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 2: Is that what you mean by stimulus? See when I

837
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:08,920
Speaker 2: say stimulus, what I think of is printing money and

838
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 2: injecting into the system like we did during COVID. When

839
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:16,800
Speaker 2: you allow people to keep more of their own money.

840
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 2: I mean, it is a stimulus, but it's a natural

841
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:20,400
Speaker 2: one in that people go out and they earn, and

842
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:22,800
Speaker 2: they keep more of their earnings and they spend it accordingly.

843
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:27,360
Speaker 2: That is a stimulus, I guess literally, but the implication

844
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 2: is somehow it's artificial. Trump's bullish belief is key to

845
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:36,440
Speaker 2: understanding why he's so reluctant to say there's an affordability crisis.

846
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 2: He calls that that affordability crisis is a hoax and

847
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 2: a con job, advisors say, because the problem didn't start

848
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:45,759
Speaker 2: under him and the economy is growing steadily. Said one

849
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 2: Trump advisor, it's a conundrum discussing messaging with the president.

850
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 2: He doesn't want to say affordability. That's different than not

851
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 2: wanting to talk about it. Both inside and outside the

852
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:59,400
Speaker 2: White House, Trump advisors are pinning their hopes on projections

853
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 2: by Scott Peasant that americans finances and outlook will improve

854
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 2: markedly during tax season. They're talking about the refund boom.

855
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 2: Working Americans could see as much as two thousand dollars

856
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 2: in returns from the IRS during tax filing season. Capital

857
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:18,799
Speaker 2: expenditures businesses can write these off now retroactive to inauguration Day,

858
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:22,920
Speaker 2: providing more incentives to hire and raise wages stocks. Most

859
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 2: strategists expect markets, which soared last year, to go even

860
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:29,319
Speaker 2: higher in twenty six, largely because of AI giants that

861
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:37,240
Speaker 2: have Trump in their pocket hardly backing them. Look, Kevin

862
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 2: Hassett was out there this weekend talking about the tariffs,

863
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 2: give me number eighty seven and how he's cutting into

864
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 2: the budget deficit.

865
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:49,319
Speaker 12: Listen, but the point is that we've got deficit going

866
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:52,320
Speaker 12: way way down. So right now it's looking like the

867
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 12: deficit for the SHEERB six one hundred billion dollars lower

868
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 12: than it was last year.

869
00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 7: That really helps lower inflation.

870
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:01,279
Speaker 12: We've got the trade deficit cutting half from last year,

871
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 12: and so all these things are things that should continue

872
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 12: to move us towards the FED target of two percent.

873
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 2: President Trump echoing that yesterday at the White House, give

874
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 2: me number ninety six.

875
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 6: Without the November fifth election, you would have had a

876
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:21,279
Speaker 6: president that didn't have the courage to use tariffs the

877
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 6: way they should be used. And because of the tariffs

878
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:27,280
Speaker 6: we've taken in more than eighteen think of this, eighteen

879
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:30,320
Speaker 6: trillion dollars has never been anything like it. As an example,

880
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:35,879
Speaker 6: the previous administration, Sleepy Joe Biden took in less than

881
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 6: one trillion in four years. We took in more than

882
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 6: eighteen trillion.

883
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 2: In ten months.

884
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:45,320
Speaker 6: I'd say that's pretty good, right, I'd say that's very good.

885
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 6: And if you go back, if you go back into history,

886
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:51,359
Speaker 6: there's never been a country that's taken in more than

887
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 6: three trillion dollars.

888
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 2: You know what I saw gas pat this weekend in

889
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 2: my neck of the woods. Dollars and forty seven cents

890
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 2: a gallum ed. What is it in your neighborhood right now?

891
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:07,720
Speaker 7: Right now, we're sitting in around two ninety nine.

892
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:11,000
Speaker 2: Two ninety nine, and of course a great deal of

893
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 2: that is Pennsylvania gas tax. You got to remember that's

894
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 2: at least thirty cents of it we know.

895
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 7: Ye signed by a Republican governor, increased by the Democrats.

896
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 7: It's beautiful.

897
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 2: So when you know those of you who are listening,

898
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 2: you're like, what two forty seven? Remember it depends on

899
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:26,279
Speaker 2: where you live, and if you are governed by a

900
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 2: bunch of Democrats, that's another matter. But the fact of

901
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:30,720
Speaker 2: the matter is there are people in Florida and Texas

902
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:35,240
Speaker 2: right now that are in the one eighties a galluton. Okay,

903
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:38,760
Speaker 2: so gas prices are coming down. There is more disposes.

904
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:41,879
Speaker 2: I remember not too long ago. I mean a year ago.

905
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 2: Gas was for me where I just paid that two

906
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:50,360
Speaker 2: forty seven gas was something like three fifteen, three twenty,

907
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:52,399
Speaker 2: and I remember it getting up as high as I mean,

908
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 2: look to fill my truck. At one point, I remember

909
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 2: it was one hundred and fifty dollars a fillip. That's

910
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 2: what I remember. It was at its worst, and that

911
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:01,880
Speaker 2: was just a couple of years ago. Go, you know,

912
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 2: this weekend it was seventy five dollars. So do the

913
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:08,040
Speaker 2: math on that. Every time you fill up right now,

914
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:10,160
Speaker 2: I'm pocketing seventy five bucks. I don't know about you,

915
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:13,359
Speaker 2: but if you're not spending seventy five bucks every couple

916
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:18,279
Speaker 2: of weeks, that's appreciable. That matters may not always look

917
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 2: like that when you're shopping at the grocery store. But

918
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:25,439
Speaker 2: Besson has put his chips in. He said that come

919
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:27,479
Speaker 2: Q one, Q two, we're going to see some really

920
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:30,480
Speaker 2: explosive growth. Hassets out. These guys are either going to

921
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:34,279
Speaker 2: look like total fools or they know exactly where this

922
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:36,839
Speaker 2: is headed. And I mean Jerome Powell too late. Jerome Palell,

923
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:39,320
Speaker 2: remember what he said, they lowered interest rates and said,

924
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:41,880
Speaker 2: we think things are turning around. We think things are

925
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:44,279
Speaker 2: looking good. That's why we're doing it. Even he who

926
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 2: hates Trump's guts and Trump can't wait to get rid

927
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 2: of had to come out and say looks pretty good. Also,

928
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 2: President Trump yesterday rolled out and I'll have this for

929
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 2: you coming up in just a minute, a promise that

930
00:46:57,480 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 2: he's going to deliver on the fraud of election twenty twenty,

931
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 2: and I suppose subsequent elections after that. But you know,

932
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:10,759
Speaker 2: people that I don't know feel like Pam Bondi and

933
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:13,920
Speaker 2: DJ aren't doing enough. I've always said there can't be

934
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:16,239
Speaker 2: anybody more motivated to get to the bottom of a

935
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 2: great deal than Donald Trump himself. A man who was

936
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 2: nearly murdered, a man whose home was ransacked and raided

937
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:26,200
Speaker 2: and his family's personal effects gone through, and a man who, yeah,

938
00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 2: I think it's pretty clear now if you don't want

939
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:31,440
Speaker 2: to say, was cheated out of the twenty twenty election,

940
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 2: we saw a lot of cheating in twenty twenty. I

941
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 2: don't think he's rested a minute on this, and yesterday

942
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:39,439
Speaker 2: he kind of alluded to that fact. We'll get into

943
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:43,239
Speaker 2: that coming up. And depending on where you are in

944
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 2: the region. Philadelphia saw quite a bit of snow, anywhere

945
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:50,919
Speaker 2: from six to nine inches roughly in and around southeastern Pennsylvania.

946
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:54,320
Speaker 2: Beautiful look at Philadelphia as the sun comes up this morning,

947
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:58,759
Speaker 2: some snow blanketing the ground. Telephone number eighty five five St. Gaul.

948
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 2: If you want to get in here today, I'm going

949
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 2: to Keith in Saint Louis, Keith. I'm glad to have

950
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:06,640
Speaker 2: you this morning. How are you welcome in? Merry Christmas?

951
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 4: Hi?

952
00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:09,359
Speaker 2: What's on your mind?

953
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 6: Sir?

954
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:15,200
Speaker 4: I used to play sandagloss in them all. We described it.

955
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:18,400
Speaker 4: It's not one of the others. The boat when the

956
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 4: kid would get like thirty feet from you. Yeah, I

957
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:26,319
Speaker 4: was in like a a saying, a structure with a

958
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 4: fence around it, and I was on a crown a

959
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:31,920
Speaker 4: throne like and the sad. The kid would see you

960
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:34,759
Speaker 4: from a distance, he'd get excited, but when he got

961
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:38,720
Speaker 4: close to you, he got all freaky and crazy and scared.

962
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 2: And did they ever come out of it? Or once

963
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:44,400
Speaker 2: a kid was freaked out, they never.

964
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:47,880
Speaker 4: Came to the problem would be the problem? Sometimes you

965
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:51,440
Speaker 4: put the child up on your knee or something, and

966
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:54,239
Speaker 4: the child would get kind of nutty and crazy. And

967
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 4: I've had a hold on to children because I didn't

968
00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 4: want him to die. They've fallen off my knee and go,

969
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:03,560
Speaker 4: oh no, how.

970
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:05,160
Speaker 2: Long did you do it? How long? How many years

971
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:06,040
Speaker 2: did you? Were you? Santa?

972
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:09,319
Speaker 4: That was ten years ago? I did that. I did

973
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:11,880
Speaker 4: it in two separate years.

974
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:14,440
Speaker 2: Was that enough? Like you just had your fill of

975
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:16,680
Speaker 2: it or you just did it for the fun of it, or.

976
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 4: Well, the problem was you have to be careful with

977
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 4: I got in trouble for touching the child in the

978
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:26,799
Speaker 4: below the shoulder and see you now.

979
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:29,960
Speaker 2: That's I didn't even think about that. I bet nowadays

980
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,640
Speaker 2: that's something you got to consider every move you make,

981
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 2: every look everything now right, I'm spelling. In fact, now

982
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 2: that you say it, I'm kind of surprised they even

983
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:42,360
Speaker 2: allow Santa anymore to visit them all wherever.

984
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:45,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, because well, like I was telling you that the

985
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 4: child was, the child would get on your knee and

986
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:50,359
Speaker 4: you hold it. Yeah.

987
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 2: I mean, if a parent comes and puts them there, right,

988
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:54,320
Speaker 2: it is like it's not like you went up and

989
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 2: grabbed them. I mean the parent sits them there.

990
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 4: For heaven sakes, the parent was normally away from you.

991
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:04,279
Speaker 4: I had, I had like two assistants. They bring the

992
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:09,240
Speaker 4: child to me. It brings up Ralphie and the Christmas story.

993
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:10,560
Speaker 7: Ho ho ho.

994
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:13,239
Speaker 2: Thank you Keith, glad you called Merry Christmas. I have

995
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 2: a friend named Tommy Avaloni. Might have to bring him in.

996
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 2: Tommy did a documentary years ago. Uh and I can't remember.

997
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 2: I wish I could remember who was in it. One

998
00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:27,080
Speaker 2: of the there was a wrestler in it, Fast Eddy.

999
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:29,840
Speaker 2: He did a whole documentary on guys that play Santa

1000
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:34,880
Speaker 2: year round. Mick Mick, who's the wrestler Mick Foley whoa

1001
00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:37,719
Speaker 2: I think either did Santa or was Santa or but

1002
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:41,319
Speaker 2: he was featured in that film. But but Tommy did

1003
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:44,919
Speaker 2: this fascinating documentary on guys whose lives it is all

1004
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:48,399
Speaker 2: year long, are to to get ready for the big

1005
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:50,799
Speaker 2: Christmas season where they're Santa, and they like they live

1006
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:52,919
Speaker 2: it out. It's like there, you know how some guys

1007
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:55,040
Speaker 2: go to Comic Con or whatever that whole there's a

1008
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:57,680
Speaker 2: whole world where guys just do nothing but Santa year round.

1009
00:50:57,760 --> 00:50:58,319
Speaker 2: That's their thing.

1010
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:03,080
Speaker 7: I learned something new every single day Chris, No idea

1011
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:05,480
Speaker 7: that they did that, No idea. There was a documentary

1012
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:06,600
Speaker 7: about it. That's amazing.

1013
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 2: It's true, of course true. Tommy did I think it's

1014
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 2: called I Am Santa Claus. You can look it up.

1015
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:15,280
Speaker 2: Give me number ninety seven. Here, PAULI, this is President

1016
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:18,520
Speaker 2: Trump talking about the election of twenty twenty. He said,

1017
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 2: we are sitting on a pile of evidence and we're

1018
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:22,960
Speaker 2: getting ready to release it soon. Here we go. That's all.

1019
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:25,960
Speaker 6: They're good at cheating in elections, very good at cheating.

1020
00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:27,280
Speaker 2: They're professionals. Are cheating.

1021
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:30,560
Speaker 6: Because we won in twenty sixteen by a lot. The

1022
00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:33,440
Speaker 6: election was rigged. In twenty twenty, we have all the ammunition,

1023
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:35,200
Speaker 6: all the stuff, and you'll see it come out. It's

1024
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:40,080
Speaker 6: coming out in truckloads. And California's election New York also,

1025
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:43,520
Speaker 6: but California, more than any other place, is so rigged.

1026
00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:45,200
Speaker 2: It's such a rigged election.

1027
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:46,920
Speaker 8: You know, we won the Hispanic vote.

1028
00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:49,799
Speaker 6: So a lot of people say Republican wouldn't win California.

1029
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:51,400
Speaker 8: But I won the Hispanic vote.

1030
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:54,560
Speaker 2: I won in Miami. Think of that. In Miami, I

1031
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:55,840
Speaker 2: won the Hispanic vote.

1032
00:51:56,000 --> 00:52:01,480
Speaker 6: Along the Texas border, I won every single or town

1033
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:06,760
Speaker 6: touching the Texas border, and they're eighty five to ninety Hispanic.

1034
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:11,000
Speaker 6: We won the Hispanic vote if the vote in California

1035
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:14,920
Speaker 6: was legitimate, which is not. They have thirty eight million ballots.

1036
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:18,479
Speaker 6: Everything is mail in voting. They mail out thirty eight

1037
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:21,920
Speaker 6: million ballots and they come in. Where the hell do

1038
00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:23,920
Speaker 6: they go and where do they come from? It's a

1039
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:27,680
Speaker 6: rigged election in California because we would win California.

1040
00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:28,320
Speaker 2: Buy a lot.

1041
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:30,839
Speaker 8: And again they feel they have the.

1042
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:31,920
Speaker 2: Advantage with Hispanic.

1043
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:32,400
Speaker 8: They down't.

1044
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:36,839
Speaker 2: Okay, So the question is, and I'm really intrigued by this,

1045
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:39,279
Speaker 2: President Trump says they have a mountain of evidence and

1046
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:41,000
Speaker 2: they're going to release it. Ed, what do you do

1047
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:43,600
Speaker 2: with it? If you're the RNC, if you're the Republican Party,

1048
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 2: if you're President Trump, and more importantly, does the electric

1049
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:47,160
Speaker 2: respond to it?

1050
00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:50,040
Speaker 7: Now, you've got to win the local elections to do

1051
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:53,040
Speaker 7: something about it, you really do. There's nothing else you

1052
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:55,200
Speaker 7: can do. So I don't know. I don't know what

1053
00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:55,799
Speaker 7: the answer to that.

1054
00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 2: People want evident. Well, here's what you need, paging Pambondi.

1055
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:02,480
Speaker 2: You need prosecutions. First of all, they've got evidence of

1056
00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:06,920
Speaker 2: criminality in elections. Let's prosecute. Well, it is no secret.

1057
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:09,640
Speaker 2: Even though I was bragging on the fact that we

1058
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:12,200
Speaker 2: are seeing in certain parts of the country gases now

1059
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:15,520
Speaker 2: dipped below two dollars a gallon. Some are seeing gasoline

1060
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:20,479
Speaker 2: in something like the dollar eighty dollars ninety range. Mine

1061
00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:22,520
Speaker 2: was as inexpensive over the weekend as I've seen it

1062
00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:26,200
Speaker 2: yet to forty seven. So that's a great development. But

1063
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:28,800
Speaker 2: the fact of the matter is, in terms of energy costs,

1064
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:31,000
Speaker 2: home heating costs, there's still a lot to be done there.

1065
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:34,880
Speaker 2: Daniel Turner our great friend, founder and executive director of

1066
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:39,040
Speaker 2: Power the Future, Powerthefuture dot com, and Daniel, first of all,

1067
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:39,520
Speaker 2: go to see you.

1068
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 13: Merry Christmas. It's always great to be on with you. Chris,

1069
00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 13: thank you for having me this morning.

1070
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:48,800
Speaker 2: Of course, the gasoline story is a good story, probably

1071
00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:51,000
Speaker 2: not getting a lot of attention that's coming down. But

1072
00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:53,880
Speaker 2: the fact of the matter is, and what's so funny

1073
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:56,760
Speaker 2: to me, we've gone from in less than a decade,

1074
00:53:57,200 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 2: you know, talk of how we're all warming the planet

1075
00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 2: to we need more power captain, and it's all because

1076
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:04,759
Speaker 2: big tech wants it. Now that big tech and the

1077
00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:07,799
Speaker 2: left who are politically they're typically of the left now

1078
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:10,319
Speaker 2: that they want lots of energy. It seems that all

1079
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:13,800
Speaker 2: of the talk of alternative energy has subsumed and now

1080
00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:17,040
Speaker 2: it's nuclear. Whatever we got, we got a power AI

1081
00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:19,440
Speaker 2: and we got to power it quick. You notice that

1082
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:21,239
Speaker 2: I have.

1083
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:25,080
Speaker 13: And it's really concerning, even just taking the AI conversation

1084
00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:27,440
Speaker 13: off the table, right, what does the future of AI

1085
00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:29,920
Speaker 13: look like? What does it mean for jobs, the economy,

1086
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:33,719
Speaker 13: all of that aside. We know we need this technology,

1087
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:36,880
Speaker 13: and we know we're building these data centers very very quickly,

1088
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:40,400
Speaker 13: and that these data centers consume a tremendous amount of power.

1089
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:43,319
Speaker 13: And what's concerning for me is that, for example, in

1090
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:47,560
Speaker 13: the Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, when Microsoft announced with Governor

1091
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 13: Shapiro many months ago they were going to reopen reactor

1092
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:55,320
Speaker 13: too at Three Mile Island because Microsoft was building data centers,

1093
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:58,080
Speaker 13: and they said, we'll repurpose it, we'll retrofit it, and

1094
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:00,640
Speaker 13: we'll bring this online. And everyone applaud and said this

1095
00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 13: is great, and I said it is, But wouldn't it

1096
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:06,440
Speaker 13: be great if they just opened a reactor to just

1097
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:09,279
Speaker 13: for the people of Pennsylvania to have cheap electricity.

1098
00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:10,440
Speaker 8: So my concern is.

1099
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:13,720
Speaker 13: We're headed towards this kind of level of corporatism where

1100
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:18,080
Speaker 13: your elected officials look at you and your skyrocket electricity

1101
00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:22,359
Speaker 13: prices up forty percent since Biden during the Biden years, Right,

1102
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:24,239
Speaker 13: President Trump's trying to bring it down, but it's going

1103
00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:27,040
Speaker 13: to take a lot. But they look at sky high

1104
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:30,160
Speaker 13: electricity prices and say, yeah, that's just too bad. Let's

1105
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:34,240
Speaker 13: blame climate change or Vladimir Putin. Then Microsoft comes along

1106
00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:36,839
Speaker 13: and they're like, boom, whatever you guys want, you get it.

1107
00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 13: And that level of corporatism in the energy space has

1108
00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:41,279
Speaker 13: me deeply concerned.

1109
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:44,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, I hear that, and I have heard a lot

1110
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:49,040
Speaker 2: of people say that President Trump's push to kind of

1111
00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:55,960
Speaker 2: galvanize a federalization of AI management or monitoring or governance

1112
00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:58,600
Speaker 2: as opposed to allowing the States to weigh in on

1113
00:55:58,640 --> 00:55:59,920
Speaker 2: it has got a lot of people at odds with

1114
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:03,120
Speaker 2: people like Bron De Santis, for instance, and others. You know,

1115
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:05,560
Speaker 2: And I've heard Trump critics who are actually fans of

1116
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:09,720
Speaker 2: his say that the solidation of big tech around AI

1117
00:56:11,160 --> 00:56:14,480
Speaker 2: is I don't know if you want to call it monopolistic,

1118
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:17,040
Speaker 2: but that seems to be the ongoing worry. I think

1119
00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 2: President Trump's point of view is, Listen, we're in a race,

1120
00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:23,680
Speaker 2: a massive race, and if we don't win it, we're screwed.

1121
00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:28,000
Speaker 2: So I think his instinct is let's make this as

1122
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:31,000
Speaker 2: little red tape as possible. But in the offing, it

1123
00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:34,000
Speaker 2: raises your concern, right that the consolidation of power is

1124
00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:34,480
Speaker 2: too great.

1125
00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:39,080
Speaker 13: It is and you know this this is also you

1126
00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:41,279
Speaker 13: know you feel bad because the lots landed at the

1127
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:44,799
Speaker 13: feet of President Trump. And so when we look at

1128
00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:46,800
Speaker 13: this race of Ai and say, hey, we have to

1129
00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:50,319
Speaker 13: beat the Chinese. The Chinese are bad. I agree, they

1130
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:52,799
Speaker 13: will use AI for bad I agree. So we have

1131
00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:54,759
Speaker 13: to beat them. But you know, we do this in

1132
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:56,720
Speaker 13: a lot of areas. We do this in all across

1133
00:56:56,760 --> 00:56:59,000
Speaker 13: South America, where we say, look, we have to have

1134
00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 13: oil in venezuel American oil interests in Venezuela.

1135
00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:04,200
Speaker 8: Because if we don't do it, the Chinese.

1136
00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:06,359
Speaker 13: Hey, we have to have a military off the coast

1137
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:09,279
Speaker 13: of Japan because if we don't, the Chinese will. And

1138
00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:13,240
Speaker 13: so it's frustrating to look at thirty years of lousy

1139
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:17,360
Speaker 13: China policy. I mean, America built communist China, right, we

1140
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:20,520
Speaker 13: traded with them, We gave the most favored nation status

1141
00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:23,720
Speaker 13: going back from the early nineties with Bill Clinton, and

1142
00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:26,760
Speaker 13: now we've created our number one enemy, and now our

1143
00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:30,720
Speaker 13: policies seem to be enacted for the sole purpose of

1144
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:34,840
Speaker 13: containing communism and communist China. And I just find that

1145
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 13: really frustrating, knowing that since I was in high school, right,

1146
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:42,480
Speaker 13: we've been doing things now to stop China from doing it.

1147
00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:47,240
Speaker 13: I would rather, like all evil regimes, including Islamic terrorism,

1148
00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:50,520
Speaker 13: I'd rather just eradicate them completely. I'd rather just bankrupt

1149
00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:52,360
Speaker 13: in the case of China, just bankrupt them.

1150
00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:52,840
Speaker 8: You know.

1151
00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:55,800
Speaker 13: Yes, you want your flat screens and your cheap Nike sneakers.

1152
00:57:56,720 --> 00:57:59,680
Speaker 13: I'd rather you can live without them, right, I'd rather

1153
00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:02,400
Speaker 13: we just not deal with this country and drive them

1154
00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:06,680
Speaker 13: back into obscurity, rather than have to create policies that

1155
00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:10,080
Speaker 13: impact American people for the sole purpose of we have

1156
00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:11,480
Speaker 13: to beat the Chinese at it.

1157
00:58:11,480 --> 00:58:12,720
Speaker 8: It's just driving me crazy.

1158
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:17,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I hear you. And we operate under the

1159
00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:20,240
Speaker 2: assumption that we must now do business with them. And

1160
00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:23,680
Speaker 2: I do think, you know, the tariff talk is an

1161
00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:26,240
Speaker 2: interesting one because I do think President Trump is trying

1162
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:30,520
Speaker 2: to onshore work fast, but you know, on shoring companies

1163
00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:34,960
Speaker 2: building factories that doesn't happen fast. You know, again he's

1164
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:37,200
Speaker 2: trying to turn a battleship on a dime here and

1165
00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:40,080
Speaker 2: that's not going to happen. But we'll see economically what happens.

1166
00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:42,520
Speaker 2: There's a piece here at the Federalist and you're quoted

1167
00:58:42,560 --> 00:58:46,080
Speaker 2: in it a data centers are wreaking havoc on local communities.

1168
00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:49,880
Speaker 2: What specifically does that mean? In fact, I know in

1169
00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:52,640
Speaker 2: my backyard there are two different data centers. And one

1170
00:58:52,680 --> 00:58:54,640
Speaker 2: of the guys who's helping build it said to me

1171
00:58:55,600 --> 00:58:58,000
Speaker 2: something that you've said on this show repeatedly. He said, Man,

1172
00:58:58,360 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 2: I'm telling you you want to put your money into

1173
00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:04,000
Speaker 2: put it into small nuclear reactors and nuclear power facilities,

1174
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:06,120
Speaker 2: because they're going to need every bit of that and

1175
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:08,000
Speaker 2: then some to power these things as fast as we're

1176
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:08,520
Speaker 2: building them.

1177
00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:14,360
Speaker 13: Absolutely, and I should almost think it's a requirement, a

1178
00:59:14,440 --> 00:59:18,000
Speaker 13: prerequisite for your construction permits is that you are attaching

1179
00:59:18,040 --> 00:59:20,680
Speaker 13: these things at the hip to some sort of modular

1180
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:25,160
Speaker 13: nuclear reactor or small reactor, or you're building a coal

1181
00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:28,720
Speaker 13: or natural gas plant alongside of it. Because what I

1182
00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:31,240
Speaker 13: mean by that article at the Federalists, and thank you

1183
00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:34,920
Speaker 13: very much for quoting it, we're putting these things in

1184
00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:38,080
Speaker 13: kind of suburbia and more towards rural America.

1185
00:59:38,120 --> 00:59:40,360
Speaker 8: Because these data centers are several million.

1186
00:59:40,120 --> 00:59:43,120
Speaker 13: Square feet, they're building them where land is cheap, but

1187
00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:47,160
Speaker 13: also close enough to the urban centers you know that

1188
00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:51,000
Speaker 13: are using all this technology that are online. In the

1189
00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:53,680
Speaker 13: case of the Commonwealth of Virginia where I live, you know,

1190
00:59:53,720 --> 00:59:56,480
Speaker 13: I'm about two hours outside of DC, and when I

1191
00:59:56,560 --> 00:59:59,240
Speaker 13: drive to DC, I pass over a third of the

1192
00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:03,600
Speaker 13: nations that centers. They're all in the Northern Virginia area.

1193
01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:06,680
Speaker 13: And what it means is that, yes, the footprint of

1194
01:00:07,080 --> 01:00:09,720
Speaker 13: land is a problem, but the strain on the grid

1195
01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:12,240
Speaker 13: is a huge problem. And now it's just a part

1196
01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:14,120
Speaker 13: of life to say, hey, look, we built all these

1197
01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:17,800
Speaker 13: data centers, our electricity rates are up twenty five, thirty

1198
01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:22,760
Speaker 13: forty percent. When we start having power problems, they get

1199
01:00:22,760 --> 01:00:27,240
Speaker 13: priority now over regular homes. There's also water issues, which

1200
01:00:27,240 --> 01:00:29,840
Speaker 13: we won't hardly ever talk about because these things are

1201
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:34,120
Speaker 13: enormous consumers of water. And so again we have these

1202
01:00:34,120 --> 01:00:37,440
Speaker 13: elected officials that ribbon cutting ceremonies and they want to

1203
01:00:37,480 --> 01:00:40,360
Speaker 13: stand shoulder to shoulder with Mark Zuckerberg and cut the

1204
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:42,880
Speaker 13: ribbon and be like I brought this here and look

1205
01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:45,439
Speaker 13: at me bring in jobs to the community. But when

1206
01:00:45,440 --> 01:00:48,400
Speaker 13: this thing is up and running, your average data center

1207
01:00:48,440 --> 01:00:51,360
Speaker 13: consumes the equivalent of water and electricity of one hundred

1208
01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:55,240
Speaker 13: thousand homes. So ask yourself, if in your little town

1209
01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:57,560
Speaker 13: they're building a data center, would you let them build

1210
01:00:57,560 --> 01:01:01,000
Speaker 13: one hundred thousand homes without any plan for more water

1211
01:01:01,160 --> 01:01:04,080
Speaker 13: or more power. No, But we do this with data centers,

1212
01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:07,880
Speaker 13: and we build dozens of them, it seems every couple of.

1213
01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:10,200
Speaker 8: Months, and so that's my concern going forward.

1214
01:01:11,320 --> 01:01:14,440
Speaker 2: I'm literally near me watching two of them being built

1215
01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:17,280
Speaker 2: across the highway from one another. Meta came in to

1216
01:01:17,360 --> 01:01:21,160
Speaker 2: do one, Google's doing one. They're literally across a highway

1217
01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:24,360
Speaker 2: expanse from one another on acres and acres of land.

1218
01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:26,600
Speaker 2: And I have no idea, as you say, what that

1219
01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:30,120
Speaker 2: means for power draw, but it's huge, and so you

1220
01:01:30,120 --> 01:01:32,600
Speaker 2: would say, elected officials and voters really need to understand

1221
01:01:32,600 --> 01:01:35,320
Speaker 2: when these things pop up, it's not the happy time

1222
01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:38,560
Speaker 2: story that everybody gets a job and commerce is coming

1223
01:01:38,600 --> 01:01:40,680
Speaker 2: into the community. It's actually a real draw. Would you

1224
01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:41,640
Speaker 2: call it a net negative?

1225
01:01:43,240 --> 01:01:46,320
Speaker 13: You know, for me as a landowner, as a farmer

1226
01:01:46,440 --> 01:01:49,600
Speaker 13: in rural Virginia. I don't see what the upside has been.

1227
01:01:49,640 --> 01:01:52,800
Speaker 13: And I like our current governor and he's led this charge.

1228
01:01:53,120 --> 01:01:56,400
Speaker 13: But a very humble conversation with Governor Younkin is to say,

1229
01:01:57,000 --> 01:01:59,600
Speaker 13: you talk about how many of these we've built, and okay,

1230
01:01:59,760 --> 01:02:02,800
Speaker 13: maybe we've had some construction jobs, and yes that is good,

1231
01:02:03,320 --> 01:02:05,840
Speaker 13: But you talk about the tax revenue. We're bringing in

1232
01:02:05,880 --> 01:02:09,520
Speaker 13: so much tax revenue. My taxes haven't gone down, right,

1233
01:02:09,640 --> 01:02:13,440
Speaker 13: So where's the tax revenue? It just goes to the government.

1234
01:02:13,480 --> 01:02:16,960
Speaker 13: It goes to the state somehow. My electricity bill is

1235
01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:20,680
Speaker 13: up thirty five forty percent. My water every ask any

1236
01:02:20,720 --> 01:02:23,840
Speaker 13: farmer in our area about your ponds, about your creeks.

1237
01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:27,880
Speaker 13: Our water tables are down drastically in the last couple

1238
01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:28,360
Speaker 13: of years.

1239
01:02:28,760 --> 01:02:31,880
Speaker 8: And you say, so where do I benefit?

1240
01:02:32,040 --> 01:02:35,120
Speaker 13: Like, how has my life been made better because I'm

1241
01:02:35,160 --> 01:02:37,840
Speaker 13: building this? And quite frankly, if my life isn't better,

1242
01:02:37,880 --> 01:02:40,200
Speaker 13: then why the hell are we doing it? And I

1243
01:02:40,240 --> 01:02:42,640
Speaker 13: feel like that's just not data centers, but it's everything.

1244
01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:45,760
Speaker 13: Every time our elected officials want the ribbon cutting and

1245
01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:49,840
Speaker 13: they want the grandiose ceremony of expansion, how has it

1246
01:02:49,880 --> 01:02:50,720
Speaker 13: been better?

1247
01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:50,920
Speaker 2: Right?

1248
01:02:50,960 --> 01:02:53,840
Speaker 13: The globalists tried this every time they said, we're, you know,

1249
01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:56,840
Speaker 13: building this new facility in Mexico.

1250
01:02:57,000 --> 01:02:58,480
Speaker 8: How has this made my life better?

1251
01:02:58,560 --> 01:02:58,680
Speaker 2: Right?

1252
01:02:58,720 --> 01:03:01,680
Speaker 13: How is globalism going to China? How has the rise

1253
01:03:01,720 --> 01:03:03,240
Speaker 13: of China made my life better?

1254
01:03:03,360 --> 01:03:04,760
Speaker 8: Cheap crap? Right?

1255
01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:08,040
Speaker 13: I mean, I guess you could say that somehow it's

1256
01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:11,360
Speaker 13: more affordable, But all we talk about these days is

1257
01:03:11,360 --> 01:03:14,600
Speaker 13: the affordability crisis. So so, how has my life been

1258
01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:16,960
Speaker 13: so much better from these data centers going up?

1259
01:03:17,480 --> 01:03:19,320
Speaker 8: No one can point to it. Yeah, you can use

1260
01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:23,680
Speaker 8: your phone in Google. Cool crap. Yeah, Okay, you know

1261
01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:24,760
Speaker 8: you have to go.

1262
01:03:24,920 --> 01:03:27,480
Speaker 2: It's just like thirty seconds, Daniel, because you know I

1263
01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:31,040
Speaker 2: read there are many people I think who feel the

1264
01:03:31,080 --> 01:03:33,560
Speaker 2: way you do. And with President Trump in for the

1265
01:03:33,640 --> 01:03:35,120
Speaker 2: year that he's been in, you know, there's still a

1266
01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:38,720
Speaker 2: Republican Congress you can't ignore. But you know, I hear

1267
01:03:38,760 --> 01:03:42,360
Speaker 2: that there's the magabase splintering, they're dissatisfied or what have you?

1268
01:03:42,360 --> 01:03:44,600
Speaker 2: You are aware with just like twenty seconds. I'm sorry

1269
01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:45,480
Speaker 2: to make you summarize like that.

1270
01:03:45,520 --> 01:03:49,960
Speaker 13: Oh, I'm pleased to support of the president. I haven't

1271
01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:54,480
Speaker 13: deviated an announce but these are larger philosophical conversations that

1272
01:03:54,560 --> 01:03:56,479
Speaker 13: have to happen, and like I said, I feel bad

1273
01:03:56,760 --> 01:03:58,640
Speaker 13: that all of this has landed at the feet of

1274
01:03:58,680 --> 01:03:59,240
Speaker 13: Donald Trump.

1275
01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:01,160
Speaker 8: You go back to that Oprah Winfrey and for he

1276
01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:03,920
Speaker 8: did in the eighties. He knew that we were headed

1277
01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:06,000
Speaker 8: in a bad direction. It just took him thirty years

1278
01:04:06,040 --> 01:04:07,120
Speaker 8: to get power to fix it.

1279
01:04:08,280 --> 01:04:10,640
Speaker 2: Daniel, thank you, Merry Christmas to you. I always appreciate

1280
01:04:10,680 --> 01:04:15,640
Speaker 2: your candor wit a minute, rand Paul said something interesting

1281
01:04:16,400 --> 01:04:19,080
Speaker 2: this weekend in number ninety one, if you would please

1282
01:04:19,120 --> 01:04:21,120
Speaker 2: Paul on Meet the Press.

1283
01:04:21,320 --> 01:04:24,080
Speaker 14: You know it's his escalation on both sides. You know

1284
01:04:24,160 --> 01:04:26,280
Speaker 14: both sides are doing it, and so it's one side

1285
01:04:26,320 --> 01:04:27,920
Speaker 14: going to sit quietly and not do it.

1286
01:04:28,240 --> 01:04:29,800
Speaker 8: You can argue who started it.

1287
01:04:30,160 --> 01:04:31,880
Speaker 2: But I do think this, and this is.

1288
01:04:31,960 --> 01:04:35,760
Speaker 14: On the negative aspect of both parties doing this. I

1289
01:04:35,760 --> 01:04:38,400
Speaker 14: think that it's going to leave to more civil tension

1290
01:04:38,520 --> 01:04:41,720
Speaker 14: and possibly more violence in our country. Because think about it,

1291
01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:46,000
Speaker 14: if thirty five percent of Texas is Democrat, solidly Democrat,

1292
01:04:46,320 --> 01:04:49,920
Speaker 14: and they have zero representation or like in my state,

1293
01:04:49,960 --> 01:04:52,560
Speaker 14: we're a very Republican state, but we have one Democrat

1294
01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:55,720
Speaker 14: area in Louisville, and we have a Democrat congressman. We

1295
01:04:55,720 --> 01:04:58,880
Speaker 14: can carve up Louisville and get rid of that one congressman.

1296
01:04:59,160 --> 01:05:01,120
Speaker 14: But how does that make Democrats feel?

1297
01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:02,720
Speaker 2: I think it makes them feel.

1298
01:05:02,480 --> 01:05:05,200
Speaker 14: Like they're not represented, and so I don't know. I

1299
01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:07,760
Speaker 14: think it's bad. But it's really not one party the

1300
01:05:07,800 --> 01:05:10,160
Speaker 14: other doing it. It's both parties have been doing it

1301
01:05:10,200 --> 01:05:11,520
Speaker 14: since the beginning of time.

1302
01:05:18,600 --> 01:05:24,760
Speaker 2: He sighed. Rand Paul is concerned about the feelings of Democrats.

1303
01:05:25,520 --> 01:05:30,360
Speaker 2: Is that what I just heard? Yes, he's correct. Democrats

1304
01:05:30,360 --> 01:05:33,200
Speaker 2: have been doing it for decades. And you know what

1305
01:05:33,240 --> 01:05:37,280
Speaker 2: it's led to. It's led to people who don't want

1306
01:05:37,280 --> 01:05:42,440
Speaker 2: to live under government tyranny and live under government dictatorships

1307
01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:45,840
Speaker 2: led by Democrats and high taxes and high crime and

1308
01:05:45,840 --> 01:05:48,480
Speaker 2: the like. It's led to people like me packing their

1309
01:05:48,480 --> 01:05:51,760
Speaker 2: things and getting the hell out and moving to places

1310
01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:55,840
Speaker 2: that aren't governed that way you have, you know, God

1311
01:05:55,840 --> 01:06:00,800
Speaker 2: bless America. That's the thing. If Democrats feel so miserable

1312
01:06:00,840 --> 01:06:04,160
Speaker 2: and misrepresented in Texas, pack your things and go move

1313
01:06:04,200 --> 01:06:07,240
Speaker 2: to the Northeast. And you say, well, I can't do that,

1314
01:06:07,760 --> 01:06:11,160
Speaker 2: I can't uproot my life. I like my life here, Well,

1315
01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:13,080
Speaker 2: then maybe you ought to talk to yourself about why

1316
01:06:13,120 --> 01:06:15,760
Speaker 2: it is you like your life there. It ain't Democrat

1317
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:19,480
Speaker 2: policies right. I like it safe here, I like it

1318
01:06:19,600 --> 01:06:23,840
Speaker 2: cheap here. Oh you do. Who's running things? Not the

1319
01:06:23,880 --> 01:06:27,960
Speaker 2: Democrats you vote for. The Democrats you vote for are

1320
01:06:28,040 --> 01:06:30,480
Speaker 2: running the place that you left. You now live in

1321
01:06:30,520 --> 01:06:34,560
Speaker 2: Florida or Texas or Kentucky or Tennessee. You still want

1322
01:06:34,560 --> 01:06:37,520
Speaker 2: to keep voting Democrat though? Do you look around. You

1323
01:06:37,640 --> 01:06:40,640
Speaker 2: moved here because it was cheaper and safer and a

1324
01:06:40,680 --> 01:06:43,280
Speaker 2: better place to raise a family. And now Ran Paul

1325
01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:47,240
Speaker 2: says we've got to consider their unhappiness because they don't

1326
01:06:47,280 --> 01:06:50,360
Speaker 2: get to vote Democrat. I would simply say, if you're

1327
01:06:50,440 --> 01:06:53,840
Speaker 2: unhappy in a Republican run state, pack your things and

1328
01:06:53,880 --> 01:06:58,040
Speaker 2: go move to the beautiful blue state of Connecticut. Too expensive.

1329
01:06:58,400 --> 01:07:03,520
Speaker 2: Well that's Democrats. It's not like you don't have the

1330
01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:07,760
Speaker 2: freedom to go congregate with other Democrats. Senator Paul, what

1331
01:07:08,200 --> 01:07:10,000
Speaker 2: is this business? They're going to be unhappy if they

1332
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:13,560
Speaker 2: don't have Democrat representation. I think they'll be happy become

1333
01:07:13,640 --> 01:07:17,320
Speaker 2: tax time and that their family's not dead. Wit in

1334
01:07:17,320 --> 01:07:19,880
Speaker 2: a minute. You heard me earlier this year, I hope,

1335
01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:23,760
Speaker 2: talking about our partnership with Prison Fellowship, the non for

1336
01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:28,360
Speaker 2: profit Christian organization that helps kids who have incarcerated parents

1337
01:07:28,640 --> 01:07:32,080
Speaker 2: enjoy a little fresh air and fun out in the

1338
01:07:32,200 --> 01:07:35,880
Speaker 2: open outdoors during summer camp. Well, they do great work

1339
01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:38,760
Speaker 2: at Christmas time too, and we're proud to partner with

1340
01:07:38,800 --> 01:07:42,440
Speaker 2: them again in what they call their Angel Tree Christmas Campaign.

1341
01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:46,200
Speaker 2: You know, there are thousands of kids all over the country,

1342
01:07:46,720 --> 01:07:49,000
Speaker 2: through no fault of their own, who see one or

1343
01:07:49,040 --> 01:07:51,760
Speaker 2: maybe even both of their parents incarcerated this time of year.

1344
01:07:51,800 --> 01:07:54,920
Speaker 2: And what a what a tough thing that is. You know,

1345
01:07:55,040 --> 01:07:58,800
Speaker 2: a child should be enjoying the Christmas season, and with

1346
01:07:58,880 --> 01:08:01,880
Speaker 2: something that heavy in their home, it's often difficult to do.

1347
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:04,840
Speaker 2: What I love about Prison Fellowship is and what is

1348
01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:07,760
Speaker 2: so cool about what Angel Tree does. They take a

1349
01:08:07,800 --> 01:08:10,280
Speaker 2: thirty dollars donation that you give and they can turn

1350
01:08:10,320 --> 01:08:13,000
Speaker 2: that into a gift for a young person who may

1351
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:15,640
Speaker 2: be struggling this Christmas. And best of all, it's not

1352
01:08:15,720 --> 01:08:18,519
Speaker 2: just a gift, it's a handwritten note from their parent

1353
01:08:18,600 --> 01:08:23,439
Speaker 2: who happens to be incarcerated, and most importantly, the gospel

1354
01:08:23,439 --> 01:08:26,040
Speaker 2: message they hear the truth of Jesus this time of year.

1355
01:08:26,120 --> 01:08:29,040
Speaker 2: That's a thirty dollars gift from you to a child

1356
01:08:29,080 --> 01:08:32,040
Speaker 2: who could really use some joy this Christmas, so I

1357
01:08:32,080 --> 01:08:33,439
Speaker 2: hope you'll join me, and there are a couple of

1358
01:08:33,439 --> 01:08:35,320
Speaker 2: ways to do it. If this is something that's important

1359
01:08:35,320 --> 01:08:37,439
Speaker 2: to you or interesting to you, or you think you

1360
01:08:37,479 --> 01:08:39,839
Speaker 2: know I've been blessed, I'd like to be a blessing.

1361
01:08:40,280 --> 01:08:42,639
Speaker 2: Thirty bucks gets it done for one child. One hundred

1362
01:08:42,680 --> 01:08:46,800
Speaker 2: and fifty bucks. You've impacted five kids and their Christmas

1363
01:08:47,439 --> 01:08:49,920
Speaker 2: with a handwritten note from their parents as well as

1364
01:08:50,320 --> 01:08:53,960
Speaker 2: the gospel message of Jesus. It's one of the most

1365
01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:55,960
Speaker 2: important things we do all year as far as I'm

1366
01:08:55,960 --> 01:08:57,759
Speaker 2: concerned here on the show, and you can get involved

Speaker 2: our friends at Prison Fellowship. You know, this past year

1375
01:09:19,479 --> 01:09:21,639
Speaker 2: has been one of the hardest in my Pillows history,

1376
01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:24,680
Speaker 2: and it's because of loyal listeners and viewers like you

1406
01:11:02,479 --> 01:11:04,439
Speaker 2: days technically, but I really would love to get this

1407
01:11:04,479 --> 01:11:06,960
Speaker 2: thing wrapped up this week. I got to tell you

1408
01:11:06,960 --> 01:11:09,240
Speaker 2: your generosity over the weekend came pouring in, and I

1409
01:11:09,280 --> 01:11:12,439
Speaker 2: thank you so much. We're inching ever closer. Our Angel

1410
01:11:12,479 --> 01:11:17,120
Speaker 2: Tree Christmas program going so well. The excitement of waking

1411
01:11:17,240 --> 01:11:19,800
Speaker 2: up early to find presents under the tree. Look, there

1412
01:11:19,800 --> 01:11:22,880
Speaker 2: are kids in this country, for various reasons, that may

1413
01:11:22,880 --> 01:11:26,639
Speaker 2: not experience that without your help. Chief among reasons, why

1414
01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:31,000
Speaker 2: are kids who have a parent incarcerated? And this is

1415
01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:32,120
Speaker 2: one of those things that I know a lot of

1416
01:11:32,160 --> 01:11:34,880
Speaker 2: people think, well, just to go, oh, look, prisoners, they

1417
01:11:34,920 --> 01:11:38,280
Speaker 2: got to serve their time. They're being punished for something

1418
01:11:38,320 --> 01:11:41,440
Speaker 2: they did. That's true, but their kids don't deserve punishment,

1419
01:11:42,240 --> 01:11:43,920
Speaker 2: and their kids don't know any different. And a lot

1420
01:11:43,960 --> 01:11:45,680
Speaker 2: of kids that wake up in this country without a

1421
01:11:45,720 --> 01:11:47,960
Speaker 2: parent at Christmas time and wonder if their parents are

1422
01:11:47,960 --> 01:11:50,599
Speaker 2: even thinking of them. This is how you can get involved,

1423
01:11:50,640 --> 01:11:53,120
Speaker 2: and this is how you can introduce a ministry and

1424
01:11:53,160 --> 01:11:55,120
Speaker 2: the love of Jesus into their heart this time of year.

1425
01:11:55,160 --> 01:11:57,599
Speaker 2: Do you know that the prison fellowship people for thirty

1426
01:11:57,600 --> 01:11:59,719
Speaker 2: dollars what they can do. They can take your gift

1427
01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:02,120
Speaker 2: of thirty bucks. That's all it takes to get a

1428
01:12:02,160 --> 01:12:04,519
Speaker 2: gift in the hand of a kid with one of

1429
01:12:04,520 --> 01:12:07,680
Speaker 2: these incarcerated parents and a note from one of these

1430
01:12:07,720 --> 01:12:10,559
Speaker 2: parents letting them know, yeah, mom or dad is thinking

1431
01:12:10,600 --> 01:12:14,400
Speaker 2: of you. We love you, haven't forgotten you that. You

1432
01:12:14,479 --> 01:12:16,240
Speaker 2: know how much that means to a child who may

1433
01:12:16,280 --> 01:12:18,519
Speaker 2: be wondering about that. But most of all, they also

1434
01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:20,720
Speaker 2: not not just get the gift in that note from

1435
01:12:20,720 --> 01:12:24,479
Speaker 2: a parent, they also get the Bible. The prison pedalship

1436
01:12:24,479 --> 01:12:27,759
Speaker 2: folks give them the gift of Scripture. What a wonderful

1437
01:12:27,760 --> 01:12:30,519
Speaker 2: thing you can do and for thirty dollars. That's all

1438
01:12:30,560 --> 01:12:34,479
Speaker 2: it takes. Look, we have a week left and we're

1439
01:12:34,520 --> 01:12:37,479
Speaker 2: trying to reach twenty six hundred kids. We're down to

1440
01:12:37,479 --> 01:12:40,320
Speaker 2: eight hundred and sixty left, so we're well more than

1441
01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:42,400
Speaker 2: halfway there, over sixty percent there now, So can you

1442
01:12:42,479 --> 01:12:44,920
Speaker 2: help if you can? I hope that you will. A

1456
01:13:21,840 --> 01:13:23,280
Speaker 2: We covered it off the top of the show. I

1457
01:13:23,360 --> 01:13:25,280
Speaker 2: want to go to Australia first and bring in our

1458
01:13:25,280 --> 01:13:27,679
Speaker 2: friend Victoria Coach. She's not in Australia, but she certainly

1459
01:13:27,720 --> 01:13:31,920
Speaker 2: has plenty to say about this. Victoria has done just

1460
01:13:32,479 --> 01:13:35,639
Speaker 2: wonderful and important and impressive work throughout her career. She's

1461
01:13:35,680 --> 01:13:39,280
Speaker 2: now with the Heritage Foundation in national security and foreign policy.

1462
01:13:39,360 --> 01:13:41,400
Speaker 2: She served in that role in the Trump administration in

1463
01:13:41,439 --> 01:13:43,559
Speaker 2: the first and she joins us this morning. Victoria. Merry

1464
01:13:43,640 --> 01:13:45,040
Speaker 2: Christmas to you, and thanks for your time.

1465
01:13:46,360 --> 01:13:48,960
Speaker 3: Merry Christmas, Chris, and thanks for doing what you're doing

1466
01:13:48,960 --> 01:13:50,640
Speaker 3: with the Angel Tree Group. I'm going to go on

1467
01:13:50,760 --> 01:13:52,160
Speaker 3: and donate right after this hit.

1468
01:13:53,160 --> 01:13:55,160
Speaker 2: Oh thank you, thank you so much. I appreciate it.

1469
01:13:55,200 --> 01:13:57,120
Speaker 2: I know they do. They do wonderful work. That's sweet

1470
01:13:57,160 --> 01:14:00,559
Speaker 2: of you. This situation in Australia, I don't know what

1471
01:14:00,600 --> 01:14:02,479
Speaker 2: to add to it other than it does look to

1472
01:14:02,479 --> 01:14:04,960
Speaker 2: be obviously a very specific terrorist attack. And I had

1473
01:14:04,960 --> 01:14:09,360
Speaker 2: a caller earlier say, this is what a lack of

1474
01:14:09,400 --> 01:14:14,880
Speaker 2: assimilation an immigration policy and the insane gun policy gets you.

1475
01:14:14,920 --> 01:14:16,840
Speaker 2: That's a recipe for disaster in Australia. How do you

1476
01:14:16,880 --> 01:14:18,120
Speaker 2: assess what happened there?

1477
01:14:19,720 --> 01:14:19,800
Speaker 4: Now?

1478
01:14:19,880 --> 01:14:22,280
Speaker 3: This really is a witch's brew of bad things that

1479
01:14:22,320 --> 01:14:24,760
Speaker 3: have happened. And as we learn more about the father

1480
01:14:24,840 --> 01:14:26,720
Speaker 3: and son and just think. Let that sink in for

1481
01:14:26,760 --> 01:14:29,400
Speaker 3: a minute, Chris, A father and son decided on the

1482
01:14:29,439 --> 01:14:31,880
Speaker 3: first day of Hanukkah this is what they were going

1483
01:14:31,920 --> 01:14:34,639
Speaker 3: to do, and there was no cooler head to prevail.

1484
01:14:34,680 --> 01:14:36,960
Speaker 3: But it sounds to me from their ages that the

1485
01:14:37,000 --> 01:14:39,599
Speaker 3: father came in shortly after nine to eleven when there

1486
01:14:39,600 --> 01:14:42,519
Speaker 3: were a lot of folks bending over backwards to make

1487
01:14:42,560 --> 01:14:46,280
Speaker 3: sure that no Muslims were inconvenienced after that massive terrorist

1488
01:14:46,360 --> 01:14:49,240
Speaker 3: attack on the United States, and then he had his

1489
01:14:49,320 --> 01:14:54,200
Speaker 3: son in Australia. The son is fully Australian citizen, and

1490
01:14:54,240 --> 01:14:57,120
Speaker 3: then the son was in touch with Isis folk in

1491
01:14:57,200 --> 01:15:00,920
Speaker 3: twenty eighteen twenty nineteen timeframe. Nothing was done, They knew

1492
01:15:00,960 --> 01:15:03,920
Speaker 3: they had these guns, nothing was done, and then you

1493
01:15:04,040 --> 01:15:06,920
Speaker 3: have this horrific shooting. Because for the last two years,

1494
01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:11,240
Speaker 3: since October seventh, it has been a completely permissive atmosphere

1495
01:15:11,479 --> 01:15:15,840
Speaker 3: in Australia for anti Semites. You've had massive demonstrations by

1496
01:15:15,880 --> 01:15:19,200
Speaker 3: the Sydney Opera House, that symbol of freedom and culture,

1497
01:15:19,880 --> 01:15:23,920
Speaker 3: screaming to f the Jews, screaming get them back in ovens,

1498
01:15:23,920 --> 01:15:27,560
Speaker 3: screaming for the Antifada, for the globalization of the Antevada,

1499
01:15:27,560 --> 01:15:30,680
Speaker 3: which is what we're certainly seeing here. And so if

1500
01:15:30,720 --> 01:15:33,519
Speaker 3: you permit this stuff, if you don't crack down on it,

1501
01:15:33,600 --> 01:15:36,080
Speaker 3: if you don't say it's unacceptable, and you don't take

1502
01:15:36,479 --> 01:15:40,600
Speaker 3: really very strong measures to protect your Jewish community in

1503
01:15:40,640 --> 01:15:43,080
Speaker 3: a way, you can say this is pretty much inevitable.

1504
01:15:44,160 --> 01:15:48,599
Speaker 2: Wow, And then you know, one wonders as well when

1505
01:15:48,640 --> 01:15:52,000
Speaker 2: you're talking about assimilation and you're talking about foreign policy.

1506
01:15:53,080 --> 01:15:55,360
Speaker 2: We see in Paris right now they've canceled as I

1507
01:15:55,400 --> 01:16:00,200
Speaker 2: understand that their New Year's Eve celebration they traditionally have,

1508
01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:04,639
Speaker 2: and they've canceled it because they think violence, there's going

1509
01:16:04,680 --> 01:16:08,320
Speaker 2: to be violence. They're too nervous about pending violence. Is

1510
01:16:08,360 --> 01:16:09,799
Speaker 2: that what you're hearing is?

1511
01:16:10,200 --> 01:16:11,559
Speaker 1: Yes, it's all across Europe.

1512
01:16:11,600 --> 01:16:15,200
Speaker 3: We've had incidents in Germany at Christmas markets, Paris for

1513
01:16:15,280 --> 01:16:20,800
Speaker 3: New Year's Eve, attack on Hanukkah celebration in Belgium. So

1514
01:16:21,280 --> 01:16:23,880
Speaker 3: these are all the countries though Chris that have bent

1515
01:16:23,960 --> 01:16:28,519
Speaker 3: over backwards to accommodate the Palestinians since October seventh. They've

1516
01:16:28,520 --> 01:16:33,360
Speaker 3: rewarded them by recognizing some non existent Palestinian state at

1517
01:16:33,360 --> 01:16:36,800
Speaker 3: the United Nations, which is essentially saying the tactics that

1518
01:16:36,840 --> 01:16:39,480
Speaker 3: you've used on October seventh are legitimate.

1519
01:16:39,520 --> 01:16:40,439
Speaker 1: They will work for you.

1520
01:16:40,520 --> 01:16:44,599
Speaker 3: They will get you to your stated political end, which

1521
01:16:44,640 --> 01:16:46,960
Speaker 3: is some kind of state in the area that is

1522
01:16:47,040 --> 01:16:50,120
Speaker 3: now Israel. So that's what this gets you. It doesn't

1523
01:16:50,160 --> 01:16:52,599
Speaker 3: get you peace, you're not appeasing them. What it gets

1524
01:16:52,600 --> 01:16:55,040
Speaker 3: you are more attacks. Because this has nothing to do

1525
01:16:55,120 --> 01:16:57,840
Speaker 3: with the Palestinians. This has to do with hating the West,

1526
01:16:57,960 --> 01:17:01,560
Speaker 3: hating Jews first and foremost. Yes, who's next the Christians?

1527
01:17:02,760 --> 01:17:03,080
Speaker 8: Yes?

1528
01:17:03,479 --> 01:17:06,760
Speaker 2: And meanwhile in Syria, I know President Trump addressed this.

1529
01:17:06,920 --> 01:17:09,960
Speaker 2: There were three National guardsmen I believe or not well

1530
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:13,040
Speaker 2: on National Guard, but they were serving from an Iowa

1531
01:17:13,160 --> 01:17:18,240
Speaker 2: Guard unit I believe. In Syria. What happened there this weekend, Yes, this.

1532
01:17:18,720 --> 01:17:21,599
Speaker 3: Was really an illustration of why President Trump has rightly

1533
01:17:21,640 --> 01:17:24,800
Speaker 3: been cautious about our mission in Sirius, Syria from the

1534
01:17:24,840 --> 01:17:28,000
Speaker 3: get go. His feeling has been that, you know, given

1535
01:17:28,040 --> 01:17:32,559
Speaker 3: the military support we've provided with Israel, this is essentially

1536
01:17:32,640 --> 01:17:35,320
Speaker 3: their backyard. They know it better than we, and they

1537
01:17:35,320 --> 01:17:37,559
Speaker 3: can take care of it. And Israel has certainly shown

1538
01:17:37,600 --> 01:17:40,519
Speaker 3: in the last year that they're fully capable of doing that,

1539
01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:44,599
Speaker 3: of targeting the ISIS folks, the al Qaeda folks, Jabadan Neusra.

1540
01:17:44,760 --> 01:17:48,639
Speaker 3: There's a whole alphabet suit of bad guys in southern

1541
01:17:48,680 --> 01:17:51,200
Speaker 3: Syria that they can get after. Now, you know, the

1542
01:17:51,680 --> 01:17:54,800
Speaker 3: deployment of a thousand of our guys has been going

1543
01:17:54,840 --> 01:17:58,160
Speaker 3: on now for I believe close to fifteen years, if

1544
01:17:58,200 --> 01:18:01,280
Speaker 3: not longer, and Mike can certain about them has always

1545
01:18:01,320 --> 01:18:03,880
Speaker 3: been that they're big enough to be a target, but

1546
01:18:03,960 --> 01:18:07,519
Speaker 3: not enough to really defend themselves, making us reliant on

1547
01:18:07,600 --> 01:18:11,799
Speaker 3: local partners, some of whom have been strong counter terrorism partners,

1548
01:18:11,920 --> 01:18:16,519
Speaker 3: have other questionable aspects to their histories. I think we

1549
01:18:16,600 --> 01:18:20,120
Speaker 3: need a clearly stated policy on Syria and a clearly

1550
01:18:20,160 --> 01:18:23,280
Speaker 3: stated mission for these these soldiers if we're going to

1551
01:18:23,400 --> 01:18:25,280
Speaker 3: leave them there and then make sure that they can

1552
01:18:25,320 --> 01:18:26,160
Speaker 3: protect themselves.

1553
01:18:28,360 --> 01:18:30,680
Speaker 2: And then well, a couple of things I want to

1554
01:18:30,680 --> 01:18:35,519
Speaker 2: get to help me with Venezuela. The seizure of this

1555
01:18:35,560 --> 01:18:38,000
Speaker 2: oil tanker, that's extraordinary. I don't know that I can

1556
01:18:38,080 --> 01:18:41,120
Speaker 2: remember ever something like that happening. What is President Trump's

1557
01:18:41,240 --> 01:18:43,720
Speaker 2: end game? Do you believe with Venezuela? What's going on there?

1558
01:18:43,720 --> 01:18:45,519
Speaker 2: What drives it? And where do you think this goes?

1559
01:18:47,120 --> 01:18:49,640
Speaker 3: No, it's why of the sanctions we have on Venezuela

1560
01:18:49,800 --> 01:18:53,160
Speaker 3: is so important because this is a legal act under

1561
01:18:53,200 --> 01:18:55,599
Speaker 3: our sanctions regime, and we actually did it a couple

1562
01:18:55,600 --> 01:18:59,799
Speaker 3: of times during the first Trump term against Iranian tankers.

1563
01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:00,599
Speaker 8: And what we.

1564
01:19:00,560 --> 01:19:03,760
Speaker 3: Did was we sold those cargoes and put the proceeds

1565
01:19:03,800 --> 01:19:06,800
Speaker 3: into an ESCRO fund for the Iranian people, so that

1566
01:19:06,840 --> 01:19:09,760
Speaker 3: can be done so that this money then is at

1567
01:19:09,840 --> 01:19:14,040
Speaker 3: would be at the service of a legitimate Venezuela government

1568
01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:16,679
Speaker 3: if we do get rid of Maduro. And I think

1569
01:19:16,760 --> 01:19:21,680
Speaker 3: this is really the strongest tool the president can deploy here.

1570
01:19:21,760 --> 01:19:23,960
Speaker 3: It's not an act of war by any stretch of

1571
01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:27,200
Speaker 3: the imagination. I've consulted with our legal eagles at Heritage

1572
01:19:27,200 --> 01:19:29,400
Speaker 3: and they all to a man come out and say, no,

1573
01:19:29,439 --> 01:19:33,400
Speaker 3: it's not. This is legitimate under our sanctions regime. And

1574
01:19:33,560 --> 01:19:36,559
Speaker 3: it then provides a source of Rather than letting Maduro

1575
01:19:36,720 --> 01:19:41,240
Speaker 3: exploit those proceeds, you're saving those for the Venezuelan people

1576
01:19:41,280 --> 01:19:44,280
Speaker 3: and their legitimate government which they tried to elect a

1577
01:19:44,360 --> 01:19:47,040
Speaker 3: year ago and it was stolen by Maduro. So I

1578
01:19:47,760 --> 01:19:51,080
Speaker 3: saw some very interesting things. There's a fantastic X feed

1579
01:19:51,200 --> 01:19:54,400
Speaker 3: called tanker Trackers. If you're an oil geek like I am,

1580
01:19:54,640 --> 01:19:56,519
Speaker 3: and you like to watch where all these ships are

1581
01:19:56,600 --> 01:19:59,479
Speaker 3: running around the world. They reported this morning that we're

1582
01:19:59,479 --> 01:20:02,760
Speaker 3: starting to I see some tankers on route to Venezuela

1583
01:20:02,800 --> 01:20:05,560
Speaker 3: from countries like India and China who probably shouldn't be

1584
01:20:05,640 --> 01:20:08,000
Speaker 3: buying a lot of Venezuela and oil. They're seeing those

1585
01:20:08,040 --> 01:20:11,280
Speaker 3: turn around and maybe head to the Middle East for cargoes.

1586
01:20:11,640 --> 01:20:15,880
Speaker 3: We would also happily sell them United States product as

1587
01:20:16,040 --> 01:20:18,960
Speaker 3: convenient for them. But that's really the way you get

1588
01:20:19,040 --> 01:20:21,960
Speaker 3: rid of Maduro is you completely starve him funds.

1589
01:20:23,080 --> 01:20:25,400
Speaker 2: Interesting, so that's what he's trying to do, is effectively

1590
01:20:25,439 --> 01:20:28,719
Speaker 2: to starve him out, I think.

1591
01:20:28,760 --> 01:20:28,840
Speaker 4: So.

1592
01:20:28,960 --> 01:20:31,680
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously, we have this massive military build up

1593
01:20:31,720 --> 01:20:34,280
Speaker 3: in the Caribbean, biggest sense of rock, so that's kind

1594
01:20:34,320 --> 01:20:38,759
Speaker 3: of sobering, and enormous amounts of firepower there. So Madua

1595
01:20:38,840 --> 01:20:41,160
Speaker 3: knows that we're serious. But at the same time, the

1596
01:20:41,200 --> 01:20:45,360
Speaker 3: president always prefers to handle these things through non violent means,

1597
01:20:45,400 --> 01:20:48,519
Speaker 3: and so he's creating another avenue here for that to happen.

1598
01:20:49,400 --> 01:20:51,559
Speaker 2: No reason to believe ultimately that it's a boots on

1599
01:20:51,600 --> 01:20:53,240
Speaker 2: the ground thing, right, although I think he's kind of

1600
01:20:53,240 --> 01:20:55,679
Speaker 2: flirted with that I mean verbally, but I don't would

1601
01:20:55,680 --> 01:20:56,400
Speaker 2: he actually do it.

1602
01:20:57,960 --> 01:21:00,000
Speaker 1: I don't know that we would need them.

1603
01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:02,720
Speaker 3: And what I've heard that if there are strikes, they

1604
01:21:02,720 --> 01:21:06,760
Speaker 3: would be on the narco terrorists, on their facilities and

1605
01:21:06,800 --> 01:21:09,680
Speaker 3: the places that are producing the drugs, and then the

1606
01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:14,240
Speaker 3: militants that are moving them around, and then the means

1607
01:21:14,680 --> 01:21:16,880
Speaker 3: both on the ground and on the sea that they

1608
01:21:16,920 --> 01:21:17,679
Speaker 3: transport them.

1609
01:21:18,720 --> 01:21:19,000
Speaker 8: Wow.

1610
01:21:20,880 --> 01:21:23,160
Speaker 2: No small number of things to cover. That's why we've

1611
01:21:23,160 --> 01:21:25,920
Speaker 2: brought in Victoria Coats, who watches all of these boiling pots.

1612
01:21:25,960 --> 01:21:28,640
Speaker 2: We're so grateful for your insights. Victoria. Thank you. If

1613
01:21:28,680 --> 01:21:30,360
Speaker 2: we don't talk to you beforehand, I hope you have

1614
01:21:30,400 --> 01:21:31,520
Speaker 2: a very merry Christmas.

1615
01:21:32,439 --> 01:21:33,160
Speaker 1: Well, thank you, Chris.

1616
01:21:33,240 --> 01:21:35,000
Speaker 3: Always great to be with you, and merry Christmas to

1617
01:21:35,040 --> 01:21:35,759
Speaker 3: all your listeners.

1618
01:21:36,880 --> 01:21:39,840
Speaker 2: Moren a minute, Hey, good to be with you and

1619
01:21:39,880 --> 01:21:44,360
Speaker 2: merry Christmas. Looking at Key West, Florida this morning. Thrilled

1620
01:21:44,400 --> 01:21:46,799
Speaker 2: to have you here wherever you might be. Our telephone

1621
01:21:46,880 --> 01:21:49,800
Speaker 2: number is eighty five to five Stigall. You can catch

1622
01:21:49,880 --> 01:21:52,080
Speaker 2: us online at Chrisstigall dot com. Still to come, our

1623
01:21:52,080 --> 01:21:55,000
Speaker 2: friend Aaron Maguire, who's busting at the seams because her

1624
01:21:55,920 --> 01:21:59,120
Speaker 2: Buffalo bills continue their winning ways. I don't know that

1625
01:21:59,200 --> 01:22:01,679
Speaker 2: was a shootout with New England. The Patriots are coming

1626
01:22:01,720 --> 01:22:03,360
Speaker 2: back all of a sudden, How fast Eddy look like

1627
01:22:03,400 --> 01:22:04,960
Speaker 2: an interesting team again? The Patriots.

1628
01:22:05,800 --> 01:22:07,880
Speaker 7: Patriots are surprising the heck out of me. I didn't

1629
01:22:07,880 --> 01:22:10,639
Speaker 7: realize because I have Hunter Henry on my fantasy team

1630
01:22:11,120 --> 01:22:13,920
Speaker 7: and he just no no production throughout the year. And

1631
01:22:14,000 --> 01:22:16,200
Speaker 7: Tom Brady called him the greatest tight end in New

1632
01:22:16,200 --> 01:22:18,760
Speaker 7: England history on one of the Fox broadcasts. I'm like,

1633
01:22:18,920 --> 01:22:20,599
Speaker 7: holy crap, Now he's starting to produce.

1634
01:22:20,720 --> 01:22:24,479
Speaker 2: They're coming on. Man. Did you see the Husk visited

1635
01:22:24,520 --> 01:22:27,559
Speaker 2: the Eagles sideline yesterday?

1636
01:22:27,600 --> 01:22:29,280
Speaker 7: He did the cobirth.

1637
01:22:30,439 --> 01:22:38,920
Speaker 2: He got to say, well he did you have a seat?

1638
01:22:38,920 --> 01:22:41,320
Speaker 2: Mister President? Joe Biden is who we're talking about, folks,

1639
01:22:41,360 --> 01:22:43,479
Speaker 2: those of you who don't know, we've lovingly referred to

1640
01:22:43,520 --> 01:22:46,080
Speaker 2: him as the Husk around here. Joe Biden visited the

1641
01:22:46,120 --> 01:22:50,200
Speaker 2: Eagles sideline. He was wearing a Super Bowl twenty three

1642
01:22:50,400 --> 01:22:53,120
Speaker 2: hat or a thirty three what was it super Anyway,

1643
01:22:53,479 --> 01:22:55,760
Speaker 2: the hat he was wearing ed he was wearing an

1644
01:22:55,800 --> 01:22:57,720
Speaker 2: Eagles hat, but he was wearing the Eagles hat from

1645
01:22:57,760 --> 01:22:59,960
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl, which is what number was it? Versus

1646
01:23:00,120 --> 01:23:02,080
Speaker 2: the Chiefs that the Chiefs ultimately won.

1647
01:23:02,240 --> 01:23:08,719
Speaker 7: Oh fifty seven, he was wearing that super Bowl hat

1648
01:23:09,040 --> 01:23:09,760
Speaker 7: on the Eagles side.

1649
01:23:09,800 --> 01:23:12,320
Speaker 2: I saw a photo of it today. Is that the

1650
01:23:12,360 --> 01:23:12,920
Speaker 2: one you wear?

1651
01:23:13,240 --> 01:23:13,280
Speaker 6: No?

1652
01:23:13,920 --> 01:23:15,960
Speaker 2: Heck, no, you can't get the you can't get the

1653
01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:17,479
Speaker 2: man just a regular Eagles hat.

1654
01:23:17,720 --> 01:23:20,880
Speaker 7: No, we're a championship one. They're defending champs.

1655
01:23:20,880 --> 01:23:23,639
Speaker 2: Why not he wore the wrong one, Eddie.

1656
01:23:23,720 --> 01:23:26,559
Speaker 7: That's like in twenty seventeen, I bought a Division Champs

1657
01:23:26,600 --> 01:23:29,080
Speaker 7: shirt because I knew that we just weren't going to

1658
01:23:29,080 --> 01:23:31,280
Speaker 7: win the super Bowl, and then in twenty eighteen we did.

1659
01:23:31,680 --> 01:23:33,280
Speaker 7: I was like, God, division sho. I just saw I

1660
01:23:33,320 --> 01:23:35,920
Speaker 7: wear that Division Champs all the time as a sign

1661
01:23:36,000 --> 01:23:36,599
Speaker 7: of good luck.

1662
01:23:37,520 --> 01:23:41,840
Speaker 2: President Biden visiting the Eagles and walking the sidelines. And

1663
01:23:42,400 --> 01:23:47,120
Speaker 2: just some added just for your edification if you cared

1664
01:23:47,120 --> 01:23:49,960
Speaker 2: the presidential library. You know, all these presidents raised funds

1665
01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:54,280
Speaker 2: to build presidential libraries. He's raised almost a minuscule amount,

1666
01:23:54,320 --> 01:23:57,240
Speaker 2: barely registering a small fraction of the money needed to

1667
01:23:57,280 --> 01:24:01,160
Speaker 2: even begin construction of a presidential library, leaving uncertainty about

1668
01:24:01,200 --> 01:24:03,960
Speaker 2: when a library might even be built and its viability

1669
01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:08,040
Speaker 2: as a standalone project at all. That sounds about right.

1670
01:24:08,920 --> 01:24:12,200
Speaker 2: First president of American history who just Obama's is bloated

1671
01:24:12,240 --> 01:24:16,040
Speaker 2: and ugly and still way behind schedule. Biden's may not

1672
01:24:16,080 --> 01:24:18,800
Speaker 2: even be funded or built at all. Boy, if ever,

1673
01:24:18,840 --> 01:24:26,600
Speaker 2: there were just two symbols of two presidencies, just long, excruciating,

1674
01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:31,840
Speaker 2: expensive and ugly and still not complete, the Obama presidency,

1675
01:24:32,640 --> 01:24:37,240
Speaker 2: then the Biden presidency non existent, nobody particularly interested, nobody's

1676
01:24:37,280 --> 01:24:39,559
Speaker 2: really sure it's even real or going to happen at all.

1677
01:24:41,040 --> 01:24:43,560
Speaker 2: That's about right. The Joe Biden Presidential Library may not

1678
01:24:43,640 --> 01:24:47,840
Speaker 2: even get built. It's almost kind of depressing in its

1679
01:24:47,880 --> 01:24:50,439
Speaker 2: own way. And then there's Cackle Bridges, his vice president,

1680
01:24:50,479 --> 01:24:53,000
Speaker 2: the woman that would be president today had she been successful.

1681
01:24:53,000 --> 01:24:57,000
Speaker 2: Can you imagine Kamala Harris as president today? Can you

1682
01:24:57,040 --> 01:25:00,720
Speaker 2: imagine it? She isn't planning to go jen into that

1683
01:25:00,800 --> 01:25:03,920
Speaker 2: good Night, writes Axios. This week, the former vice president

1684
01:25:04,000 --> 01:25:06,840
Speaker 2: made clear to potential twenty twenty eight rivals that she's

1685
01:25:06,880 --> 01:25:12,080
Speaker 2: working to keep another White House campaign viable. Despite worries

1686
01:25:12,080 --> 01:25:14,920
Speaker 2: from party leaders and donors she can't win, Harris remains

1687
01:25:14,960 --> 01:25:17,519
Speaker 2: at or near the top of most primary polls. She

1688
01:25:17,600 --> 01:25:20,439
Speaker 2: also has strong support among black voters. Oh well, then

1689
01:25:20,479 --> 01:25:23,439
Speaker 2: that's why you do it. Of course, if she has

1690
01:25:23,479 --> 01:25:27,040
Speaker 2: strong approval amongst black voters, the most critical voting block, well,

1691
01:25:27,040 --> 01:25:28,880
Speaker 2: we know how well it worked for her before. And

1692
01:25:28,920 --> 01:25:32,240
Speaker 2: we know that Barack Obama running around scolding Blacks telling

1693
01:25:32,280 --> 01:25:34,960
Speaker 2: them they owe her something. We know how well that worked. Look,

1694
01:25:35,000 --> 01:25:40,280
Speaker 2: I hope let this be true. Please, I pray. I

1695
01:25:41,439 --> 01:25:44,880
Speaker 2: would love nothing more than to see that happen. By

1696
01:25:44,920 --> 01:25:47,479
Speaker 2: the way, Nicki Minaj is attacking Gavin Newsom for saying

1697
01:25:47,479 --> 01:25:54,320
Speaker 2: he wants to see trans kids. She's just pummeling him

1698
01:25:54,360 --> 01:25:57,200
Speaker 2: on this thing. And I think this trans issue, as

1699
01:25:57,240 --> 01:25:59,280
Speaker 2: long as he continues to embrace it, is exactly why

1700
01:25:59,280 --> 01:26:01,360
Speaker 2: he won't be the NOMA. I think they will run

1701
01:26:01,400 --> 01:26:04,120
Speaker 2: far and fast from that. That's my bet. We'll see

1702
01:26:04,600 --> 01:26:07,800
Speaker 2: look much like our friend Aarin Maguire, Chuck Schumer, big

1703
01:26:07,840 --> 01:26:12,120
Speaker 2: bills fan, even when it's terribly, terribly inappropriate number eighty four.

1704
01:26:11,960 --> 01:26:14,840
Speaker 15: If you would, And of course I'm going to say

1705
01:26:14,840 --> 01:26:19,559
Speaker 15: a few words about the terrible shooting in Sydney, Australia. Okay, So,

1706
01:26:19,800 --> 01:26:22,200
Speaker 15: and first, of course, as I always say, no matter what,

1707
01:26:22,320 --> 01:26:24,639
Speaker 15: go Bills, they beat the Patriots today.

1708
01:26:24,680 --> 01:26:28,680
Speaker 2: It's a big deal. I mean, Aaron, I feel like

1709
01:26:28,840 --> 01:26:31,240
Speaker 2: your political strategist, and I know you love the Bills,

1710
01:26:31,600 --> 01:26:33,760
Speaker 2: but I don't know. There's probably a time and a

1711
01:26:33,760 --> 01:26:36,160
Speaker 2: place for that. Good morning, Good morning.

1712
01:26:36,200 --> 01:26:38,240
Speaker 16: There certainly isn't a time and a place for that,

1713
01:26:38,280 --> 01:26:40,440
Speaker 16: and it's not at the top of a press conference

1714
01:26:40,560 --> 01:26:43,439
Speaker 16: like that. Leave it to Chuck Schumer to never be

1715
01:26:43,680 --> 01:26:47,679
Speaker 16: able to read a room. The guy is so inapt.

1716
01:26:47,680 --> 01:26:51,040
Speaker 16: He has failed New Yorker's tremendously, and instead of being

1717
01:26:51,040 --> 01:26:53,679
Speaker 16: an actual statsman, he decides to like throw a quip

1718
01:26:53,760 --> 01:26:56,919
Speaker 16: and listen. I love the Bills, probably more than almost

1719
01:26:56,960 --> 01:27:01,680
Speaker 16: anybody in the country, but I also take serious moments seriously.

1720
01:27:02,120 --> 01:27:04,280
Speaker 1: And I'm not an elected official. You would think that

1721
01:27:04,360 --> 01:27:05,440
Speaker 1: the elected who's.

1722
01:27:05,160 --> 01:27:07,400
Speaker 16: Been in office for fifty some odd years would have

1723
01:27:07,479 --> 01:27:09,400
Speaker 16: a better sense of not doing that.

1724
01:27:10,240 --> 01:27:13,200
Speaker 2: Unbelievable. I will say congratulations to your Bills though, by

1725
01:27:13,200 --> 01:27:16,320
Speaker 2: the way, and Josh Allen on top of an expected

1726
01:27:16,439 --> 01:27:18,840
Speaker 2: father big news there in Buffalo.

1727
01:27:18,840 --> 01:27:22,160
Speaker 16: Yes, very exciting win versus the Patriots. With Josh Allen

1728
01:27:22,280 --> 01:27:25,679
Speaker 16: on the field, we are never out of a game,

1729
01:27:25,880 --> 01:27:29,240
Speaker 16: a resilient team. And Hailey Steinfeld is pregnant. So there

1730
01:27:29,240 --> 01:27:31,080
Speaker 16: are Bills mafia babies on the way.

1731
01:27:31,120 --> 01:27:32,839
Speaker 1: We are very excited at Buffalo.

1732
01:27:34,080 --> 01:27:37,120
Speaker 2: Well, we'll be watching and rooting. That's you know. I

1733
01:27:37,160 --> 01:27:40,080
Speaker 2: have absolutely nothing now to watch except your team, so

1734
01:27:40,160 --> 01:27:43,479
Speaker 2: I'll have to and the Eagles and look, as far

1735
01:27:43,479 --> 01:27:46,000
Speaker 2: as I'm concerned, I would love to see a Bill's

1736
01:27:46,040 --> 01:27:47,920
Speaker 2: Eagle super Bowl. I would love to see that. I

1737
01:27:47,920 --> 01:27:49,160
Speaker 2: think that'd be great fun, don't you.

1738
01:27:49,920 --> 01:27:52,599
Speaker 16: I just want to see the Bills in a super Bowl. Honestly,

1739
01:27:52,760 --> 01:27:55,799
Speaker 16: it could be against anybody. I just want my Super

1740
01:27:55,840 --> 01:27:59,000
Speaker 16: Bowl game and I want my victory. I have thirty

1741
01:27:59,040 --> 01:28:00,960
Speaker 16: seven years of being a Bills fan.

1742
01:28:01,160 --> 01:28:02,559
Speaker 1: I want my win.

1743
01:28:03,520 --> 01:28:05,800
Speaker 2: All right, well, we're ready. I want to ask you.

1744
01:28:06,000 --> 01:28:08,519
Speaker 2: Speaking of winning, I want to ask you if you

1745
01:28:08,680 --> 01:28:12,479
Speaker 2: believe at this hour President Trump given the polling that

1746
01:28:12,560 --> 01:28:15,759
Speaker 2: I've seen that says he's still in terms of recent history,

1747
01:28:15,800 --> 01:28:18,439
Speaker 2: he's still trending better than other presidents at this point

1748
01:28:18,479 --> 01:28:23,280
Speaker 2: and their presidencies comparatively, is he winning? If Republicans in

1749
01:28:23,360 --> 01:28:26,200
Speaker 2: Congress are not, are they separate or are they together?

1750
01:28:26,360 --> 01:28:30,120
Speaker 2: Is this an all rise together? Or they're separate entities

1751
01:28:30,160 --> 01:28:32,799
Speaker 2: on separate tracks. Trump versus the GOP and Congress.

1752
01:28:33,840 --> 01:28:36,360
Speaker 16: They should be like a rising tide. Lifts all votes.

1753
01:28:36,400 --> 01:28:39,120
Speaker 16: There should be one unified party, but we do have

1754
01:28:39,160 --> 01:28:41,439
Speaker 16: the separation of branches of government here.

1755
01:28:41,720 --> 01:28:42,240
Speaker 7: So what the.

1756
01:28:42,240 --> 01:28:45,840
Speaker 16: Executive does as the Republican leader, Donald Trump as the

1757
01:28:45,920 --> 01:28:49,479
Speaker 16: leader of the party versus the congressional priorities you see

1758
01:28:49,520 --> 01:28:52,000
Speaker 16: from the Republicans elected in the House, in the Senate.

1759
01:28:52,280 --> 01:28:55,040
Speaker 16: That's a tale as old as time does. That's not

1760
01:28:55,080 --> 01:28:57,760
Speaker 16: a Donald Trump thing. That's not a George Bush thing,

1761
01:28:57,800 --> 01:29:00,799
Speaker 16: that's not a Barack Obama thing. That is acted officials

1762
01:29:00,800 --> 01:29:03,320
Speaker 16: who each have their own set of priorities. And so

1763
01:29:03,680 --> 01:29:06,280
Speaker 16: Donald Trump can be doing very well as the executive

1764
01:29:06,280 --> 01:29:08,800
Speaker 16: in the country and Congress can be doing well on

1765
01:29:08,880 --> 01:29:12,120
Speaker 16: two separate tracks. It's just right now Congress is actually

1766
01:29:12,120 --> 01:29:14,800
Speaker 16: in the hardest place it has been in a very

1767
01:29:14,840 --> 01:29:17,720
Speaker 16: long time, looking at this short runway to the end

1768
01:29:17,760 --> 01:29:19,640
Speaker 16: of the year and a number of big things to

1769
01:29:19,720 --> 01:29:21,120
Speaker 16: try and clean up along the way.

1770
01:29:22,600 --> 01:29:27,120
Speaker 2: What do you believe Republicans should do in Congress with Obamacare?

1771
01:29:27,280 --> 01:29:30,519
Speaker 2: We know that Democrats wanted a three year extension of

1772
01:29:30,560 --> 01:29:33,360
Speaker 2: subsidies as is just rubber stamp another three years of

1773
01:29:33,400 --> 01:29:37,240
Speaker 2: doing business as usual. Republicans say no, but they haven't

1774
01:29:37,240 --> 01:29:39,880
Speaker 2: really coalesced around to plan forward of their own, which

1775
01:29:39,920 --> 01:29:43,599
Speaker 2: Democrats wouldn't embrace. We all know that if the calendar

1776
01:29:43,640 --> 01:29:49,320
Speaker 2: turns and rates jump precipitously on Obamacare, people, Republicans are

1777
01:29:49,320 --> 01:29:52,360
Speaker 2: going to be left holding the blame. Not that I

1778
01:29:52,360 --> 01:29:54,320
Speaker 2: think they deserve it, but they will be. So what

1779
01:29:54,720 --> 01:29:57,080
Speaker 2: do you do here? This feels kind of politically untenable

1780
01:29:57,120 --> 01:29:59,599
Speaker 2: with very little time left till the year ends.

1781
01:30:00,280 --> 01:30:03,440
Speaker 16: Yeah, this is a really tough leadership moment for Republicans

1782
01:30:03,439 --> 01:30:06,479
Speaker 16: because they are having to clean up democrats mess. We

1783
01:30:06,560 --> 01:30:10,799
Speaker 16: know Obamacare is the signature Democrat legislation in this country.

1784
01:30:11,080 --> 01:30:15,920
Speaker 16: It's named after Barack Obama. All of that aside, it's

1785
01:30:15,960 --> 01:30:18,320
Speaker 16: now up to Republicans like Donald Trump. When we had

1786
01:30:18,320 --> 01:30:21,400
Speaker 16: to fix the economy after the Biden inflation, and for

1787
01:30:21,479 --> 01:30:24,840
Speaker 16: Republicans to have to clean up the Obamacare subsidies mess.

1788
01:30:25,120 --> 01:30:29,480
Speaker 16: Everybody knew that these were expiring. However, nobody really prevented

1789
01:30:29,560 --> 01:30:33,679
Speaker 16: an off ramp or presented one. My best educated guess

1790
01:30:34,000 --> 01:30:38,160
Speaker 16: is that what will happen is these subsidies will collapse.

1791
01:30:37,760 --> 01:30:39,200
Speaker 1: And they will not be renewed.

1792
01:30:39,520 --> 01:30:43,679
Speaker 16: What should happen is some level of an off ramp

1793
01:30:43,760 --> 01:30:47,080
Speaker 16: bridge here where we start putting in the reforms we

1794
01:30:47,240 --> 01:30:51,160
Speaker 16: need in order to structurally change the healthcare system. So

1795
01:30:51,240 --> 01:30:53,160
Speaker 16: what does that mean. It means that we need to

1796
01:30:53,200 --> 01:30:56,559
Speaker 16: be putting on limitations to income caps. Here, if you're

1797
01:30:56,680 --> 01:30:59,760
Speaker 16: making plenty of money, you don't need a subsidy to

1798
01:30:59,760 --> 01:31:02,760
Speaker 16: your private healthcare. That is not something that if you're

1799
01:31:02,800 --> 01:31:06,559
Speaker 16: making three hundred thousand dollars a year, taxpayers should be footing.

1800
01:31:06,840 --> 01:31:09,320
Speaker 16: That's an important one and making sure And I know

1801
01:31:09,400 --> 01:31:12,519
Speaker 16: Democrats love to say no, illegals are not getting free

1802
01:31:12,520 --> 01:31:15,640
Speaker 16: healthcare in this country. They most certainly are. There are

1803
01:31:15,680 --> 01:31:18,280
Speaker 16: plenty of people abusing the system, and there are plenty

1804
01:31:18,320 --> 01:31:20,880
Speaker 16: of studies that show you can use the same Social

1805
01:31:20,880 --> 01:31:23,960
Speaker 16: Security number and get approved forty five out of fifty

1806
01:31:24,000 --> 01:31:25,920
Speaker 16: times on the Obamacare website.

1807
01:31:25,960 --> 01:31:27,160
Speaker 1: There is plenty of fraud.

1808
01:31:27,200 --> 01:31:30,040
Speaker 16: We need to start building in these structural changes. One

1809
01:31:30,280 --> 01:31:33,360
Speaker 16: so we don't hurt the American people who Democrats have

1810
01:31:33,439 --> 01:31:36,200
Speaker 16: set up to be burned in this situation, and off

1811
01:31:36,280 --> 01:31:39,519
Speaker 16: ramp with structural security changes. And it allows people to

1812
01:31:39,640 --> 01:31:42,960
Speaker 16: keep the subsidies for those who need it. As we

1813
01:31:43,000 --> 01:31:45,880
Speaker 16: begin what is always the most difficult thing to do

1814
01:31:46,000 --> 01:31:50,560
Speaker 16: in Congress, that's healthcare reform. There's a reason that Republicans

1815
01:31:50,600 --> 01:31:54,439
Speaker 16: voted hundreds of times to repeal Obamacare. There's a reason

1816
01:31:54,520 --> 01:31:58,400
Speaker 16: John McCain voted no against the final Obamacare repeal effort

1817
01:31:58,640 --> 01:32:02,120
Speaker 16: because he didn't have a strategy for Republicans he saw

1818
01:32:02,320 --> 01:32:05,600
Speaker 16: for healthcare reform going forward. They have to consider the

1819
01:32:05,600 --> 01:32:08,559
Speaker 16: fact that while we don't want to be continuing subsidy

1820
01:32:08,600 --> 01:32:12,160
Speaker 16: payments to health insurance companies, pulling the rug out from

1821
01:32:12,240 --> 01:32:14,559
Speaker 16: under the American people to try to stick it to

1822
01:32:14,600 --> 01:32:16,440
Speaker 16: Democrats is a bad strategy.

1823
01:32:17,160 --> 01:32:21,760
Speaker 2: Does President Trump have his hands around, or at least

1824
01:32:21,760 --> 01:32:24,280
Speaker 2: does the White House have their hands around, this thing

1825
01:32:24,400 --> 01:32:27,000
Speaker 2: called affordability? However you want to use that in the

1826
01:32:27,000 --> 01:32:29,000
Speaker 2: context you want to use it. I know it frustrates him.

1827
01:32:29,000 --> 01:32:31,240
Speaker 2: It's clear it does. I saw JD. Vance over the

1828
01:32:31,280 --> 01:32:34,720
Speaker 2: weekend say on X, hey, look we get it. Things

1829
01:32:34,760 --> 01:32:37,599
Speaker 2: are still tough. We're not satisfied. We're still at work.

1830
01:32:37,680 --> 01:32:42,559
Speaker 2: So it's like the beston is out there. Both yes,

1831
01:32:42,640 --> 01:32:45,240
Speaker 2: acknowledging the affordability thing, but also saying, hey, look we

1832
01:32:46,000 --> 01:32:48,880
Speaker 2: trade deficit. Tariffs are bringing in tons of money, stock

1833
01:32:48,960 --> 01:32:51,519
Speaker 2: markets through the roof. Energy prices are coming down. Things

1834
01:32:51,560 --> 01:32:54,639
Speaker 2: are much better. This is I mean, as a political

1835
01:32:54,680 --> 01:32:58,080
Speaker 2: strategist and a professional messenger, Aaron, it's a tough thing.

1836
01:32:58,479 --> 01:33:01,519
Speaker 2: President Trump's frustrated, I'm sure, and you can tell it.

1837
01:33:01,560 --> 01:33:04,920
Speaker 2: He doesn't like Democrats acting as though he's making things

1838
01:33:04,920 --> 01:33:10,240
Speaker 2: worse when we intellectually know he's not. But it's perception, right, It.

1839
01:33:10,200 --> 01:33:12,679
Speaker 16: Is perception, And I think this is where the Trump

1840
01:33:12,760 --> 01:33:17,000
Speaker 16: Dance administration does so much better than Joe Biden and Democrats. Ever,

1841
01:33:17,040 --> 01:33:20,360
Speaker 16: did they acknowledge the hardship the American people are going through.

1842
01:33:20,560 --> 01:33:23,639
Speaker 16: They're not saying, don't believe that it's not hard. However,

1843
01:33:23,720 --> 01:33:26,720
Speaker 16: here's what we're doing to make it more affordable. The

1844
01:33:26,760 --> 01:33:29,439
Speaker 16: price of gas is going down. You know what's about

1845
01:33:29,439 --> 01:33:31,880
Speaker 16: to happen. Millions of Americans are about to hit the

1846
01:33:31,960 --> 01:33:35,480
Speaker 16: roads across the highways in the United States for the holidays.

1847
01:33:35,680 --> 01:33:38,360
Speaker 16: I myself will be driving up to Rochester this week.

1848
01:33:38,400 --> 01:33:40,439
Speaker 16: It's a six and a half hour drive, and it's

1849
01:33:40,520 --> 01:33:42,840
Speaker 16: more affordable now for me to put gas in my

1850
01:33:42,920 --> 01:33:45,560
Speaker 16: car to get up to my hometown for the holidays

1851
01:33:45,760 --> 01:33:49,240
Speaker 16: than it was this time last year. That's a structural

1852
01:33:49,240 --> 01:33:53,000
Speaker 16: improvement the American people are seeing. But grabbing the word affordability,

1853
01:33:53,160 --> 01:33:55,760
Speaker 16: Democrats want to try and use that word and beat

1854
01:33:55,800 --> 01:33:58,519
Speaker 16: Republicans over the head with it. But not only are

1855
01:33:58,560 --> 01:34:02,920
Speaker 16: Republicans taking that, they're talking actively to the American people

1856
01:34:02,920 --> 01:34:06,080
Speaker 16: about it. And Donald Trump is now on the road

1857
01:34:06,160 --> 01:34:08,519
Speaker 16: messaging on this. That's the important thing is there are

1858
01:34:08,560 --> 01:34:09,800
Speaker 16: a few messengers out there.

1859
01:34:09,800 --> 01:34:10,719
Speaker 1: And I really loved.

1860
01:34:10,560 --> 01:34:13,720
Speaker 16: Seeing Susie Wiles recently saying the President doesn't know it,

1861
01:34:13,760 --> 01:34:16,080
Speaker 16: but he's about to be out there campaigning like it's

1862
01:34:16,120 --> 01:34:19,680
Speaker 16: twenty twenty four going into the midterms, because he's the

1863
01:34:19,680 --> 01:34:22,120
Speaker 16: only one who can really turn out that sect of voters,

1864
01:34:22,120 --> 01:34:24,800
Speaker 16: that low propensity group right now that we're gonna need

1865
01:34:24,840 --> 01:34:27,400
Speaker 16: to keep Republicans in power. But he's also one of

1866
01:34:27,400 --> 01:34:30,759
Speaker 16: the few has the best opportunity to sell the affordability message.

1867
01:34:30,840 --> 01:34:34,040
Speaker 16: Republicans have to be all gas on this. Democrats want

1868
01:34:34,040 --> 01:34:36,360
Speaker 16: to challenge it. They want to say things are more expensive,

1869
01:34:36,479 --> 01:34:39,240
Speaker 16: and they've got the liberal lunacy media at their back

1870
01:34:39,280 --> 01:34:40,160
Speaker 16: to help them with that.

1871
01:34:40,520 --> 01:34:42,800
Speaker 1: And Republicans have to do what we always do.

1872
01:34:43,120 --> 01:34:46,120
Speaker 16: Come with the facts, be prepared, and be unafraid to

1873
01:34:46,200 --> 01:34:50,559
Speaker 16: talk to your constituents. Hiding from voters doesn't sell a message.

1874
01:34:50,600 --> 01:34:52,920
Speaker 16: And I know town halls are tard and I know

1875
01:34:53,000 --> 01:34:56,360
Speaker 16: the NRCC, the NRSC, the RNC, other people may have

1876
01:34:56,400 --> 01:34:59,920
Speaker 16: differing opinions on how aggressively you should be in your community.

1877
01:35:00,200 --> 01:35:03,080
Speaker 16: Unafraid as an elected to talk to your voters and

1878
01:35:03,160 --> 01:35:06,000
Speaker 16: get out there right now. Do coke drives, do food drives,

1879
01:35:06,200 --> 01:35:09,840
Speaker 16: use the season to message affordability and how you're helping

1880
01:35:09,880 --> 01:35:10,519
Speaker 16: your community.

1881
01:35:10,600 --> 01:35:11,840
Speaker 1: No reason to hide from it.

1882
01:35:12,600 --> 01:35:13,599
Speaker 8: Yes see, this is it.

1883
01:35:13,680 --> 01:35:15,920
Speaker 2: And I think that some are saying, well, it's violent,

1884
01:35:16,000 --> 01:35:18,240
Speaker 2: it's it's too tenuous. I'm scared of we'll be heard.

1885
01:35:18,280 --> 01:35:19,640
Speaker 2: I don't know that we can be safe and all

1886
01:35:19,640 --> 01:35:21,679
Speaker 2: that stuff. That's a bad look, isn't it. I mean,

1887
01:35:21,800 --> 01:35:23,360
Speaker 2: you know, I don't want to put anybody in harm's way,

1888
01:35:23,360 --> 01:35:24,760
Speaker 2: but it's a bad look to say I'm afraid to

1889
01:35:24,800 --> 01:35:25,559
Speaker 2: go talk to people.

1890
01:35:26,280 --> 01:35:27,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's one of the things.

1891
01:35:27,200 --> 01:35:30,240
Speaker 16: There are other opportunities to talk to people than just

1892
01:35:30,280 --> 01:35:34,200
Speaker 16: in person. Telephone, town halls, do zoom meetings, find a

1893
01:35:34,240 --> 01:35:36,479
Speaker 16: way if you're worried about security. And I will never

1894
01:35:36,560 --> 01:35:39,040
Speaker 16: blame a member and an elected official for their fear

1895
01:35:39,080 --> 01:35:41,519
Speaker 16: for their life. I can only imagine the amount of

1896
01:35:41,560 --> 01:35:44,040
Speaker 16: targets and threats many of them get. We have to

1897
01:35:44,040 --> 01:35:46,360
Speaker 16: be willing to work with your local law enforcement to

1898
01:35:46,400 --> 01:35:48,559
Speaker 16: make sure you're talking to them if you are doing

1899
01:35:48,640 --> 01:35:50,960
Speaker 16: an in person town hall. There are ways to keep

1900
01:35:51,040 --> 01:35:54,479
Speaker 16: your community and yourself safe and the message direct to

1901
01:35:54,640 --> 01:35:57,280
Speaker 16: voters in a way that is going to make sure

1902
01:35:57,280 --> 01:36:00,000
Speaker 16: that you are not hiding from the fact that Republicans

1903
01:36:00,240 --> 01:36:03,960
Speaker 16: have delivered on affordability. Democrats continue to lie about that.

1904
01:36:04,920 --> 01:36:06,920
Speaker 2: Hey, just briefly, Aerin. I'm curious because I haven't asked

1905
01:36:06,920 --> 01:36:09,160
Speaker 2: you about Jasmine Crockett yet. There's a story in the

1906
01:36:09,160 --> 01:36:11,120
Speaker 2: Free Beacon that says she jumps to the lead and

1907
01:36:11,160 --> 01:36:15,840
Speaker 2: the Texas Democrats Senate primary, she would be the nominee

1908
01:36:15,920 --> 01:36:19,120
Speaker 2: odds on right favorite if she actually does this thing,

1909
01:36:19,160 --> 01:36:20,840
Speaker 2: so she'll be the nominee. But what's it look like?

1910
01:36:20,960 --> 01:36:23,320
Speaker 2: Is she another Bette down there? Or could she do

1911
01:36:23,400 --> 01:36:24,000
Speaker 2: better than him?

1912
01:36:24,479 --> 01:36:26,640
Speaker 16: I don't think she could because on day one of

1913
01:36:26,680 --> 01:36:29,439
Speaker 16: her campaign she came out and said she's not trying

1914
01:36:29,479 --> 01:36:33,000
Speaker 16: to win Trump voters. Fifty six percent of Texas.

1915
01:36:32,600 --> 01:36:34,160
Speaker 1: Voted for Donald Trump.

1916
01:36:34,320 --> 01:36:37,520
Speaker 16: If she's aiming for the forty two percent, Kamala Harriscot,

1917
01:36:37,800 --> 01:36:40,559
Speaker 16: great math there, Jasmine, You're going to go the way

1918
01:36:40,840 --> 01:36:44,040
Speaker 16: of Beto O'Rourke. The lady and the sneakers and Colin

1919
01:36:44,120 --> 01:36:46,479
Speaker 16: allread this big blue fever dream.

1920
01:36:46,520 --> 01:36:48,240
Speaker 1: Democrats keep believing their.

1921
01:36:48,080 --> 01:36:50,720
Speaker 16: Hat they could have, especially with someone who looks like

1922
01:36:50,760 --> 01:36:53,879
Speaker 16: a moderate, like a James Tallerico who's also in that primary.

1923
01:36:54,200 --> 01:36:57,479
Speaker 16: You let crazy Town Jasmine Crockett in there, poof, there

1924
01:36:57,520 --> 01:37:00,439
Speaker 16: it goes. The fever dream's gone again and Republiclkins will

1925
01:37:00,520 --> 01:37:03,679
Speaker 16: yet again represent the people of Texas because Republicans continue

1926
01:37:03,720 --> 01:37:06,120
Speaker 16: to win by large margins in that state.

1927
01:37:07,080 --> 01:37:09,719
Speaker 2: We're going to do one more of these next Monday

1928
01:37:09,800 --> 01:37:12,240
Speaker 2: for our final one of the year. Erin, assuming your game,

1929
01:37:12,280 --> 01:37:13,920
Speaker 2: I hope that you will be well. Will we be

1930
01:37:13,960 --> 01:37:15,000
Speaker 2: able to join us on Monday.

1931
01:37:15,439 --> 01:37:17,480
Speaker 1: I will be there. I will be for my hometown.

1932
01:37:17,520 --> 01:37:19,960
Speaker 16: I will be at my sister's house doing it from Rochester,

1933
01:37:20,080 --> 01:37:21,479
Speaker 16: but I will be here next week.

1934
01:37:21,560 --> 01:37:22,599
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to it.

1935
01:37:23,240 --> 01:37:24,960
Speaker 2: I love it. Thank you, Erin, Merry Christmas.

1936
01:37:24,960 --> 01:37:25,840
Speaker 8: We'll see you next week.

1937
01:37:26,160 --> 01:37:28,200
Speaker 1: Sina, morning it.

1938
01:37:29,920 --> 01:37:32,400
Speaker 2: Okay, thank you. We are still at it. We're still

1939
01:37:32,439 --> 01:37:36,000
Speaker 2: working on these donations at Angel Tree. You guys are

1940
01:37:36,000 --> 01:37:38,400
Speaker 2: coming in at it, coming in hot today. I like it.

1941
01:37:38,439 --> 01:37:40,320
Speaker 2: We have a week to go and so we're trying

1942
01:37:40,320 --> 01:37:42,719
Speaker 2: to raise the bar here and get the Angel Tree campaign,

1943
01:37:42,760 --> 01:37:46,439
Speaker 2: the Prison Fellowship thing over the finish line. We're really close.

1944
01:37:46,479 --> 01:37:52,080
Speaker 2: Now here's the deal. Twenty six hundred kids is what

1945
01:37:52,120 --> 01:37:54,559
Speaker 2: we've pledged to try to help here by the end

1946
01:37:54,760 --> 01:37:59,519
Speaker 2: of well, I say, the end of this week. We've

1947
01:37:59,560 --> 01:38:02,600
Speaker 2: technically got ten more days, but I really don't. I

1948
01:38:02,600 --> 01:38:05,759
Speaker 2: don't want to wait until right at Christmas. The Prison

1949
01:38:05,760 --> 01:38:08,559
Speaker 2: Fellowship people can get a gift out the door today.

1950
01:38:09,320 --> 01:38:12,160
Speaker 2: Every thirty dollars donation that's made today means a gift

1951
01:38:12,200 --> 01:38:15,320
Speaker 2: has turned out today for one of these kids who

1952
01:38:15,320 --> 01:38:17,800
Speaker 2: has a parent who's incarcerated. And what does this mean?

1953
01:38:17,800 --> 01:38:19,920
Speaker 2: What does it do? Well, listen to Jermaine, who is

1954
01:38:19,960 --> 01:38:23,240
Speaker 2: one of the guys who now is an ambassador for

1955
01:38:23,280 --> 01:38:26,680
Speaker 2: Prison Fellowship, was directly impacted by this. He's now a

1956
01:38:26,720 --> 01:38:29,519
Speaker 2: free guy. He's paid his debt to society. He had

1957
01:38:29,560 --> 01:38:32,519
Speaker 2: some family that was back home and Prison Fellowship let

1958
01:38:32,600 --> 01:38:35,320
Speaker 2: those kids know Dad's still thinking about them.

1959
01:38:35,360 --> 01:38:38,360
Speaker 9: Listen, there wasn't a Christmas that went by where he

1960
01:38:38,400 --> 01:38:42,160
Speaker 9: didn't hear or receive something from his dad. So that

1961
01:38:42,360 --> 01:38:46,080
Speaker 9: void that he, like most kids have, my son was

1962
01:38:46,120 --> 01:38:49,679
Speaker 9: able to have that void fulfilled during Christmas time because

1963
01:38:49,720 --> 01:38:52,280
Speaker 9: gifts always came on behalf of his dad, and so

1964
01:38:52,400 --> 01:38:55,160
Speaker 9: he knows Dad was there during the holiday season. Although

1965
01:38:55,160 --> 01:38:58,400
Speaker 9: he couldn't see me that day. The gifts was a

1966
01:38:58,400 --> 01:39:00,559
Speaker 9: great representation and filled my spot.

1967
01:39:02,439 --> 01:39:04,880
Speaker 2: Listen, this is that time of year where you can

1968
01:39:04,920 --> 01:39:07,160
Speaker 2: be a blessing to someone if you yourself feel you

1969
01:39:07,240 --> 01:39:09,479
Speaker 2: have been blessed. And not just anyone. I'm talking about

1970
01:39:09,520 --> 01:39:12,639
Speaker 2: a child who desperately needs to know they are loved

1971
01:39:12,640 --> 01:39:14,240
Speaker 2: and they're being thought of, and they need to have

1972
01:39:14,280 --> 01:39:16,080
Speaker 2: a sense of hope and joy this time of year.

1973
01:39:16,160 --> 01:39:19,639
Speaker 2: A gift from you for just thirty dollars gets it done.

1974
01:39:19,960 --> 01:39:22,519
Speaker 2: We're closing in on this goal. I am confident we're

1975
01:39:22,560 --> 01:39:26,559
Speaker 2: going to hit it this week. Confident, and if you

1976
01:39:26,600 --> 01:39:29,040
Speaker 2: can help, whatever you can do thirty. If it's not thirty,

1977
01:39:29,040 --> 01:39:31,120
Speaker 2: if you can do five, that's great. It doesn't have

1978
01:39:31,160 --> 01:39:32,880
Speaker 2: to be thirty. But if you can do more than thirty,

1979
01:39:32,960 --> 01:39:35,599
Speaker 2: every thirty dollars covers a child on a handwritten note

1980
01:39:35,600 --> 01:39:39,040
Speaker 2: from the parent as well as a Bible in their home.

1981
01:39:39,720 --> 01:39:42,400
