And our telephone number 61 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: is eight five five Stigall if you'd like to get 62 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:56,679 Speaker 1: in back from Washington, d C. On a super secret assignment. Yesterday, 63 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 1: we got a late last minute call to something we 64 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: weren't entirely sure all the details around it. We know 65 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: it was Treasury, but outside of that we didn't know 66 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 1: a whole lot about it. It was all about Trump accounts, 67 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: or some are calling them Trump baby bonds. However you 68 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: choose to look at it. But a thousand dollars deposit 69 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: in the account of any baby born starting with the 70 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 1: inauguration of Donald Trump last year through twenty twenty eight ed, 71 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: would you take that one thousand dollars in a bank 72 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,399 Speaker 1: account for your new baby? And by the way, little 73 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: Eddy qualifies for a chunk of money out there. It's 74 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: not just exclusively for newborns. I think, I think people 75 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna have to check my facts on this, 76 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: but I think anybody that's like under eighteen can get 77 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: a chunk something like two hundred and fifty bucks or something. 78 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 5: I think, ah, okay, I'm gonna take advantage of that. 79 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, look into it. For sure, it's free dough out there. 80 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: But wouldn't that be something to consider? And the reason is, 81 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: it's not necessarily that you have kids for a thousand dollars. 82 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: But this is a lesson about compound interest. And do 83 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: you think you would think more deeply about what that 84 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: means for your son or daughter, your future son or 85 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: daughter if you found out the government was going to 86 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: deposit upon their birth one thousand dollars that you can't touch, 87 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 1: and you can contribute to it as a parent obviously, 88 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: and then get this coming the middle of the year 89 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: July fourth. Your employer, if they choose, can contribute to 90 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: this fund as well. So you as a parent can 91 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: contribute five thousand dollars to this fund every year if 92 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: you want, for your child, and then your employer can 93 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,359 Speaker 1: contribute up to twenty five hundred dollars to your child's 94 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: fund every year. That's the rules at present through I 95 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 1: think the irs. So all together, you're talking about seventy 96 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 1: five hundred dollars that could be put into this Trump 97 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: account for your child every year, combination of you and 98 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 1: your employer. On top of that dollars that's deposited by 99 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 1: the Treasury. Now that's over time, the compound interest on it. 100 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: And that was what they were doing all day yesterday. 101 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: They were rolling out the math on it, and the 102 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: math that's what a lot of people are not taught about. 103 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: And I think that's what I love so much about 104 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 1: the conversations I was having yesterday with the team at Treasury. 105 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: We were called to DC to cover this event it 106 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 1: was very clear to me that Scott Bessen is a lover, 107 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: truly a lover of the free market, I mean sincerely, 108 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: like he oozes a love of independence and investing and 109 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: the whole concept of if you put a couple of 110 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: bucks into the market watch it work for you, and 111 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 1: that the government is not the solution to your problems, 112 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,720 Speaker 1: that you, in fact can, with proper education and time, 113 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: make something of yourself just like anybody else. The deck 114 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 1: is not stacked against you, the odds are not stacked 115 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 1: against you, but it's starts with learning at an early age. 116 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 1: And Ed, I don't know were you taught this stuff 117 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 1: at an early age. And I'm not mismirching your parents 118 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: or anybody else. I'll confess that nobody really sat down 119 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 1: and spoke to me at an early age about compound 120 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: interest and what that meant if you had the good 121 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: fortune to be taught that as a young person. And 122 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: I do know young people who are sitting pretty or 123 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: people that I was going to college with who were 124 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: investing and setting money aside at a time when I 125 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,919 Speaker 1: was like blowing it on you know, Burghers and Booze. 126 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 1: There were really conscientious kids, but not many. I couldn't 127 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 1: fill a hand with the number of them that I knew. 128 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: Were you taught this stuff when you were young? 129 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 5: I can't say that I was taught this when I 130 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 5: was young. 131 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,159 Speaker 7: You know, I know that you know, my parents for 132 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 7: any milestones and any family members that gave me birthday 133 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 7: gifts and stuff, it would be like bonds, things like that, 134 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 7: things that I could save that I could access much 135 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 7: later to pay for something like a college. So I 136 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,160 Speaker 7: was taught about that, about like putting money away, but 137 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,679 Speaker 7: not I don't know that we ever talked to markets 138 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 7: are investing or you know, if I were to keep 139 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 7: something in an account, how all the interest on that 140 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,159 Speaker 7: would build to such and such amount at a certain time. 141 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: I mean, people want to argue about the numbers, and 142 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: I don't. Please don't hold me to numbers because I'm 143 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: just I'm not like I'm using what Schwab put out 144 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: yesterday for this. People were quibbling with me on social 145 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: media about it. I'm not here to argue with you 146 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: about numbers. I think the argument cannot be made that 147 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: it would be a substantial amount of money over a 148 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 1: period of time. But the numbers they were coming up 149 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: with yesterday ed If you put this thousand dollars in 150 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: a new baby's account and you contribute that annual amount 151 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: that I was just mentioning five grand for that kid 152 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: from your household, and then another twenty five hundred from 153 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: your employer. And you do that over a series of years, 154 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: you're talking about a kid by eighteen has got well 155 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 1: north of six figures. By twenty eight they were flirting. 156 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: I can't remember exactly what the number was, by like 157 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: thirty or something. It was like over a million dollars 158 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: if you don't touch it. If you don't touch it, 159 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: it doubles over two million dollars by the time your 160 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: age sixty was the rough back of the envelope math 161 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,040 Speaker 1: that Schwab was doing on these accounts. Now get and 162 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: that's assuming you don't touch it. Don't and you can 163 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: pull it out for education expenses or whatever at age 164 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 1: eighteen and other things. But if you weren't to do 165 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: anything with it from birth to age sixty and you 166 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: contribute to Max Aloud, Schwab had the numbers that you're 167 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 1: sitting over two million dollars without having done a thing. 168 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 5: Man millionaire by sixty. 169 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: Huh, yeah, But who's talking to anybody about that, who's 170 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: telling young families, who told you as a young man, 171 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 1: really you could do that with diligeny. Now here's what 172 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: people will say. Here was the snark that I got yesterday. 173 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,839 Speaker 1: I don't have five thousand dollars to sit around and 174 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: get who's got five thousand dollars to put in your 175 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: kids account every year? Look, I understand I'm not suggesting 176 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 1: everybody's just flush with cash to put into a fund. 177 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: But my point is the message very clearly yesterday was 178 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,679 Speaker 1: you don't have to sit around and be victimized by circumstance. 179 00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 1: You don't have to sit around the rest of your 180 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: life and say, well, I was born on you know, 181 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 1: I was just born with a bum rap. I didn't 182 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 1: get a I wasn't born with a silver spoon in 183 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:08,839 Speaker 1: my mouth and wait around for a zoron Munhdami. It 184 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 1: is clear to me that the Trump administration, led by 185 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,079 Speaker 1: figures like Scott Besson, are trying to counter culturally what's 186 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,199 Speaker 1: going on right now, which is Zoran Mundami says, you're 187 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 1: getting screwed. You can't get ahead cradle to grave. Lean 188 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,719 Speaker 1: on me, take trust me, I'll take care of you. 189 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: That's what they're combating right now. 190 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:25,679 Speaker 8: Man. 191 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:27,199 Speaker 5: Yes, it's a mindset. 192 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 7: It is an economic view that people will have on 193 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 7: the world. 194 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 5: How do you know. 195 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 7: They're always the left always says that you can't build 196 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 7: generational wealth. 197 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 5: They tell. 198 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 7: Mass amount of people all across the country in big cities, 199 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 7: you can't build a massive amount of wealth. 200 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 5: And this is why it's like, well, well no, you can. 201 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 1: Clearly that's exactly right, and the question is can you 202 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 1: get He said something like thirty two percent. There were 203 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: a lot of figures thrown around yesterday. Besson said in 204 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 1: a speech yesterday, thirty two percent of Americans do not 205 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 1: own stocks. And frankly, that's not that high. I mean, 206 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: so said another way, almost seventy percent of Americans have 207 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,199 Speaker 1: some kind of stock, whether that's in a four h 208 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: one k or something. So that's actually quite a bit 209 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,680 Speaker 1: higher a number that I knew. But he said that 210 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 1: their goal is that one day there would be virtually 211 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 1: no Americans that don't own stock. The Trump vision is 212 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 1: to see that everybody has some skin in the market. 213 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,199 Speaker 1: They watch these Trump accounts as they get older, and 214 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 1: they now have some skin in the game. They're not 215 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: out there tearing down they're not roiling in the street. 216 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: They're not occupy Wall Street. They're not hurling bricks. By 217 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,079 Speaker 1: the way, there's a I got a note from a 218 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: friend of mine yesterday who said, have you seen this 219 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: letter that was sent out by several companies in the 220 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: Minneapolis area or based in the Minneapolis area. I said, no, 221 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 1: I have, and she said, you ought to look at 222 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 1: this because I think this is where the worm turns 223 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: on these Minneapolis goons. The CEOs of seventy four Minnesota companies, 224 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: including Cargill, Chs, CJ. Schwan's, General, Mills, Hormel, and Lando Lakes, 225 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,559 Speaker 1: have signed an open letter asking all parties for immediate 226 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 1: de escalation of tensions and for state, local, and federal 227 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 1: officials to work together to find real solutions. It was 228 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: a three paragraph, two hundred word, carefully written letter, not 229 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: to assign blame to any entity, but the letter nonetheless 230 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: cites yesterday's tragic news talking about the pretty thing, which 231 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: I'll get into mister pretty nurse. Pretty has quite a history. 232 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: We'll get into that in just a minute. But the 233 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 1: point of this was a friend of mine sent me 234 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,559 Speaker 1: this note and she said, did you see these companies 235 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 1: issued a joint statement concerned about the violence in Minneapolis. 236 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 1: I think the worm will turn on this stuff now 237 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 1: that people's job potentially hang in the balance. And I 238 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 1: thought it was a really astute point that she made, 239 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 1: the point being do you remember during the George Floyd protesting? 240 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 1: Do you remember during the Black squares and the solidarity marches? 241 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: Do you remember when that turned into bricks being hurled 242 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: through storefronts and looting ed? Remember that? 243 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 5: I remember it? 244 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:19,839 Speaker 9: Well? 245 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, And wouldn't you agree? And I think it 246 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 1: was an astute point my friend made that really was 247 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: even in places like Philadelphia. I think it became a 248 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:34,679 Speaker 1: political turning point. Yeah, you don't agree. Now, I think 249 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: the public, Well, here's what I'll say. Here's my opinion. 250 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,319 Speaker 1: I think the public started seeing people hurling bricks through 251 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 1: storefronts and stealing clothes and running out the front door. 252 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 1: I think that's when it became not about George Floyd anymore. 253 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 10: Yeah. 254 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 1: I don't think that's debatable. I think anybody's sane realizes 255 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: that was an opportunity for anarchy. Yeah. And I think 256 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 1: my friend's point is, and these people's points are, we 257 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 1: need to tone this down because if this starts to 258 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 1: get insane and packs our. My point is when people 259 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 1: have incomes and livings, it's not just something you're watching 260 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,559 Speaker 1: on cable news, but something you're living. It becomes real 261 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, the politics have a change. 262 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,680 Speaker 1: Is more in a minute. Good to be with you. 263 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 1: Looking live at Atlanta, Georgia this morning. Thanks for listening 264 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: on AM nine seventy watching on the Salem News Channel. 265 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 1: Look at the airport this morning. Probably the most chaotic 266 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 1: airport you want to get your steps in. And God 267 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 1: bless your Atlanta. It's not your fault. You didn't build 268 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: the airport, you're just living there. I'm not picking on you, 269 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 1: but is that airport just a nightmare? 270 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 3: Ed? 271 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: I've never heard a good word spoken about Atlanta's airport, 272 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 1: just to be perfectly honest with you. And I do 273 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: love visiting Atlanta, all things considered. It's just I can't 274 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: get getting in and out of that airport is a nightmare. 275 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 7: Oh, Atlanta's great, but if you have a layover for 276 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 7: longer than two hours, there's no way you're going out 277 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 7: to explore and then coming back in a timely matner. 278 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 5: Holy crap, that's. 279 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 1: A I think it is the busiest airport in the country. 280 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: I think is what I read or heard. I'm sure 281 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: somebody will quickly correct me on that, but I think 282 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,839 Speaker 1: it is. If it's not, it's I mean it is bonkers. 283 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:07,559 Speaker 1: It feels like you're walking a country mile to get anywhere. Yeah, 284 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: Like every time I've been to Atlanta, it's you get 285 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,439 Speaker 1: dropped off at one gate. Then you end up living, 286 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: leaving and going like three buildings in another direction to 287 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 1: get to your next connecting flight. Yeah, which is Atlanta. 288 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 1: Is what's broken me of ever buying a connecting flight. Again, 289 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: if it's not direct, I ain't going. Atlanta is the 290 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: one that's broken me of connecting flights, no matter how 291 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 1: much cheaper it is. 292 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 7: See, that's the problem. And when I flew for business 293 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 7: before a lot, I used to have to wait in 294 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 7: Atlanta for how long? Sometimes I'd have to make a 295 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 7: connection right away, but other times then I started getting 296 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 7: familiar with the places inside and then and then the 297 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 7: worst is it's on a Sunday and the football games 298 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 7: are on and you're stuck there. Then I just keep like, 299 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 7: then I start drinking, and then and then. 300 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 1: Get to your next flight. Who's the drunk guy riding 301 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: around on the tram. Now he's just having fun, and 302 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 1: that's a good way to do it, I suppose. No, 303 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 1: here's what the the math is, specifically from the Trump 304 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 1: account website. All right, I just I want to share 305 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: it with you quickly. Here's the way it works. You you 306 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: have a baby this year, the Treasury will deposit one 307 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 1: thousand dollars in that account by age eighteen. If you 308 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 1: do nothing with it, that'll be fifty eight hundred dollars. 309 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 1: If by age eighteen you contribute two hundred and fifty 310 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:26,359 Speaker 1: dollars a year, that's twenty thousand dollars. If you contribute 311 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: the maximum amount to your child's baby Trump account, they 312 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: will have over three hundred thousand dollars by age eighteen. 313 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 1: So if you put five thousand dollars a year into 314 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 1: your child's Trump account, that gets that one thousand dollars 315 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 1: seed money over three hundred thousand dollars by age eighteen, 316 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: and then by twenty seven. If you do the maximum 317 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 1: amount three hundred and seventy seven thousand dollars a year, 318 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 1: by age fifty five, that individual would have two point 319 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: seven million dollars in the bank. Two point seven million dollars. 320 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: If they didn't touch it. That's what employer contributions. By 321 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: the way, Derek is in Westchester, Pennsylvania. Derek, I'm glad 322 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: you called. Good morning, Hey, Chris, how are you. 323 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 11: Yeah, I'm great. I just I know, with all this 324 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 11: stuff going on, all the negativity, this is like super 325 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 11: positive and it's why I had it. Like you talked 326 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 11: about being educated, Like I'm fifty six. I had a 327 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 11: chance encounter with John Bogol when I was in high 328 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 11: school and he was he selt start game guard, and 329 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 11: he talked about the magic dove compound interest and I 330 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 11: just started as soon as I got a job in 331 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 11: corporate life. I saved fifteen percent in my four and 332 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 11: k at the time, which is at eighteen so not 333 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 11: as much time to compound. But I think, you know, 334 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 11: I've saved about five hundred thousand, but because of compounding, 335 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 11: it's worth about two point six million dollars right now. 336 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 1: So it does work. 337 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 11: It's a way to get and it's a way to 338 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 11: get wealth as a normal person. 339 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: And I think this is the most. 340 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 11: Fantastic thing that Trump has done. Actually, and you should 341 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 11: turn out two and nothing noise about ice and all 342 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 11: the you know, Larry Krasner and Philadelphia call them people 343 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,200 Speaker 11: thugs and lost kind of stuff. This is what if 344 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 11: you can just save money for your kids and get 345 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 11: your kids saving, they can have security. It's another reason like. 346 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,239 Speaker 1: Eric so beautifully Derek, that is so beautifully said, And 347 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 1: that was the vibe yesterday. It was nothing but positivity 348 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 1: because it was all about optimism and self improvement that 349 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: you can control moren a minute. Good morning, Miami, listening 350 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 1: on AM nine ninety. I must confess I did not 351 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 1: know that AM ninet ninety was where we were heard 352 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 1: in Miami. That is our home frequency in Philadelphia as well. 353 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: It's a good signal telephone number eighty five fives to go. 354 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:43,880 Speaker 1: Look in at some cruise ships this morning getting ready 355 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,679 Speaker 1: to head out. Well, don't you envy those people this 356 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 1: time of year when you're in that deep freeze and 357 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: they're heading off to that Caribbean cruise And you always 358 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: think to yourself, why don't I book a cruise post holidays? 359 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: At least I do. I've never done that before. People 360 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,360 Speaker 1: that don't go on vacation during the holidays and then 361 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 1: take some big vacation in January when everybody else is suicidal, 362 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 1: you know, Ed, that's what I've never done. I've really 363 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 1: got to try that one of these days, is take 364 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 1: one of those January vacations. 365 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't think. And you know what, we're close. 366 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 7: And as far as birthdays go, and you know how 367 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 7: many birthdays as a kid have you had canceled because 368 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 7: the weather, the. 369 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 5: Snow saw the worst. 370 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:21,399 Speaker 7: If if you were just out of there by the 371 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 7: time our birthdays hit, I'm in that's a good idea. 372 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 1: By the way, speaking of snow, here's the other thing. 373 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 1: And I know this is true in Philadelphia, Ed and 374 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 1: I were talking about it yesterday we landed at to Reagan. 375 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 1: What was that Tuesday evening and because yesterday we were 376 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 1: in Washington for the Treasury event Trump accounts and we 377 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,679 Speaker 1: got plenty more on that, by the way, interviews throughout 378 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 1: the day. We talked with a couple of the United 379 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,679 Speaker 1: States Senators Blackburn you will hear from coming up, as 380 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: well as Senator Ted Cruz on whether or not there's 381 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:53,879 Speaker 1: going to be a government shut down, some other issues 382 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 1: that they're dealing with. We're going to hear from Eric 383 00:18:55,960 --> 00:19:00,080 Speaker 1: Schmidt this week as well. Marco Rubio was giving some 384 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,199 Speaker 1: testimony in the Senate yesterday and was spectacular that was 385 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 1: going on across town while we were over there at 386 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: the at the Melon Auditorium and it was just beautiful 387 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 1: facility by the way. So it was a big Treasury 388 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 1: event and Nicki Minaj came out. For heaven's akes, mister 389 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: Wonderful was there. It felt a little tmz ish. I 390 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 1: must say, it was just kind of a It was 391 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,160 Speaker 1: notable to me that Milania is rolling out with her 392 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:32,360 Speaker 1: big debut film tonight. There was very kind of Hollywood. 393 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 1: I must say, I have not I've never seen pop culture, 394 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,919 Speaker 1: you know, such that it is. And I understand people 395 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 1: quibble with whether or not guys like Kid Rock or 396 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,400 Speaker 1: on Capitol Hill hobnobbing with the Republicans. I get. It's 397 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: just a different era where elements of pop culture are 398 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,640 Speaker 1: now infusing itself in the Republican Party in a way 399 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:55,159 Speaker 1: that I never thought i'd see. Even though most of 400 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 1: the left, most of the progressive left is certainly still 401 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 1: of Hollywood and entertainment, and they're also greeching on social 402 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,919 Speaker 1: media now about how it not season the like. It 403 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,159 Speaker 1: is nice to see some popular celebrity types and I 404 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:11,919 Speaker 1: talk with mister Wonderful Kevin O'Leary about this, about the 405 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 1: fact that he is of entertainment. But the good news 406 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 1: for him is he's so fabulously wealthy and so successful 407 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 1: in business he really doesn't have to care and conducts 408 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: himself as such. It's delightful. Anyway, that's on the way. 409 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 1: But we land to go cover this thing, and everything's 410 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 1: pretty fluid. We land there at Reagan and we end 411 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,440 Speaker 1: up we get in the car and we're driving into 412 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,879 Speaker 1: the district to stay at the hotel and it's just 413 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: dead stop. Now, traffic in DC is always a little crazy. 414 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 1: I'm always expected it will be, but this was uniquely 415 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 1: backed up from the airport, going across the bridge into 416 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,639 Speaker 1: the district, you know, past the monuments and the whole thing. 417 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: And I asked the driver, I said, what what is 418 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 1: Is there an accident? Is there something wrong? He said, snow. 419 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 1: He barked at me, snow. But that was a couple 420 00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:00,920 Speaker 1: of days ago. He's not here, he said. They haven't 421 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:06,399 Speaker 1: moved anything. And they hadn't, I mean nothing. They had 422 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: bulldozers out in the middle of the street. So they 423 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 1: had these you know, they had main arteries through DC 424 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 1: just blocked down to one lane. During drive time as 425 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:21,400 Speaker 1: they're bringing out scoopers a giant you know, front end 426 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 1: loaders to scoop up snow out of the street dump 427 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,920 Speaker 1: it in dump trucks. Now Here was the funny part 428 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 1: to me. The thing that had the whole tie up 429 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 1: was a giant dump truck snow being scooped into the 430 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 1: back of it, and it's on a bridge literally crossing 431 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 1: the Potomac. Now, I don't mean to tell anybody how 432 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 1: to do their business, but wouldn't you take a big 433 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 1: front end loader of snow and just dump it right 434 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 1: over the edge of the bridge into the Potomac? Hid. 435 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,680 Speaker 1: I'm sure there's some sort of environmental problem with that, right, 436 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:56,680 Speaker 1: but that was my thinking. Do you need a giant 437 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: dump truck to haul away the snow and you could 438 00:21:59,000 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 1: just dump it in the river? 439 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,640 Speaker 5: No, in fact, that's what Now. 440 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 7: Yes, a lot of climate crap has happened over this time, 441 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,199 Speaker 7: but the blizzard of ninety six at Philadelphia, that's what 442 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:08,640 Speaker 7: they were doing. 443 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,880 Speaker 5: They were dumping the snow into the schoogle. 444 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,439 Speaker 1: So yeah, seems like that would be a good idea. 445 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 1: But anyway, I mean, you couldn't get people were just 446 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 1: you know, there's nothing funnier than watching a guy in 447 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 1: a BMW trying to drive through a snow packed side street. 448 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 1: It's a nightmare, you know, with cabs and ubers who 449 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 1: don't care about anything, and you know, for them, it's 450 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 1: like an indie race every morning, honking and whipping around 451 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:34,920 Speaker 1: corners as fast as possible. And then there's some guy 452 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 1: in a beamer trying to drive over mountains of snow. 453 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 1: It's just a disease. And it was so. I didn't say, 454 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 1: I didn't get political, but the guy said, every snow, 455 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: every major snow DC is like this. Days, days upon days. 456 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,879 Speaker 1: Cars are lining the streets and they're buried, and of 457 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 1: course it's too cold for any of it to melt. 458 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,880 Speaker 1: And all I kept thinking to myself was that's Democrat leadership, 459 00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 1: my friend, that's Democrat leadership. Our city's out there that 460 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 1: actually function and know how to deal with big snow events, 461 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:07,680 Speaker 1: and then there are Democrats. Let's go to yesterday's event 462 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,119 Speaker 1: a little bit. I know there was other stuff, but 463 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:14,160 Speaker 1: as Derek said, this was entirely too positive. I came 464 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,119 Speaker 1: away from yesterday exactly as Derek said. In fact, we 465 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 1: talked with a woman from Moms for America who was there. 466 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,959 Speaker 1: She was on the mom panel. Caroline Levitt was on 467 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 1: this panel as an expectant mother. Cheryl Hines RFK Junior's 468 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:32,119 Speaker 1: wife was on this panel as a grandmother. Isabelle Brown, 469 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 1: who's a younger woman and a podcaster who's very very 470 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 1: popular with younger women. It was a mother's panel and 471 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,120 Speaker 1: this woman from Moms for America was on it named Rebecca, 472 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,719 Speaker 1: who I just met yesterday and we talked after her 473 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 1: panel appearance, and I just I said, boy, how was that. 474 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 1: That's a big deal. She's just an average mom from Florida. 475 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,400 Speaker 1: She's not a media trained person, she had no real 476 00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,479 Speaker 1: connection to politics or anything else. What do you think 477 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 1: about this? And she got very overwhelmed and emotional, And 478 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 1: I said, why are you emotional? She said, because I 479 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 1: had a very rough childhood and I was basically told 480 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 1: that I couldn't amount to anything and that we were 481 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: going to be broken, that I was going to be 482 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: in debt, and I just I had a very dismal 483 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,479 Speaker 1: outlook on life. And she's an expectant mother too, by 484 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,679 Speaker 1: the way, And she said, now, as I sit here 485 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,680 Speaker 1: as an expectant mom and the mother of two other 486 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 1: younger babies at home. This is a really hopeful, positive, 487 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:33,359 Speaker 1: exciting thing. And it was because you're talking about young 488 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,440 Speaker 1: kids with the prospect of having millions in their bank 489 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 1: accounts by the time they're you know, in their certainly 490 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 1: in their fifties if they don't touch it. But even so, 491 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 1: even if you're eighteen twenty thirty years old, you're talking 492 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: about six figures in an account if nobody touches it, 493 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,680 Speaker 1: and it can't be touched till it's eighteen. It gave 494 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,639 Speaker 1: people hope and it was all about you. It was 495 00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 1: empowering you and you and your family and your spouse 496 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 1: to help build wealth for your child and then a 497 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 1: child to eventually look at this account and go, wow, 498 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 1: look at how the market works for me, look at 499 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,199 Speaker 1: how commerce works for me. And the number of companies 500 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 1: that have signed on and agreed to help seed this, 501 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:20,399 Speaker 1: that's what's really remarkable. There are companies names, you know, 502 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 1: not just kind of you know, smaller companies that are 503 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,439 Speaker 1: pro Trump or whatever, big companies that are getting involved 504 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 1: in this. And I'll tell you more about that in 505 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 1: a second. Here's Trump on Trump accounts yesterday in Washington, 506 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:36,879 Speaker 1: number eleven. 507 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 12: The great Big beautiful bill will prove more consequential than 508 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 12: Trump accounts. Under this program, the US government will automatically 509 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:49,439 Speaker 12: create a tax free investment account for every newborn American child, 510 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:54,640 Speaker 12: something that nobody really would have even thought of. There 511 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 12: were some brilliant people that thought of it for a 512 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,439 Speaker 12: long time. Here with us today. We're going to introduce 513 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 12: a couple of them, but nobody really. I mean, I've 514 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 12: had friends at the top, people in business. 515 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 1: They came up to me, whose idea was this? 516 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 13: This is great I never thought they said, I never 517 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 13: thought of that. 518 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:15,199 Speaker 12: Will fund those personal accounts with a seed contribution of 519 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 12: one thousand dollars, which will compound and grow over the 520 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 12: course of their lives and could grow it to very 521 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 12: very substantial numbers. Parents, employers, churches, states, and loved ones 522 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,680 Speaker 12: will also be able to add up to five thousand dollars. 523 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,440 Speaker 1: In additional money for those accounts, and with. 524 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 12: Every modest contribution, Trump accounts should reach at least fifty 525 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 12: thousand dollars in value by the time the child turns eighteen, 526 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 12: and could be very substantially more than that. With slightly 527 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 12: greater contributions. The typical account will grow to one hundred thousand, 528 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 12: two hundred thousand, and could even grow up to past 529 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:57,639 Speaker 12: three hundred thousand dollars per child. And we think most 530 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 12: likely the most likely cases in the two one hundred thousand, 531 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 12: three hundred thousand range, the size and scale of this 532 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 12: wealth will go off all government programs ever created to 533 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 12: benefit America's youth. 534 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:10,639 Speaker 1: There's never been. 535 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:11,159 Speaker 14: Anything like this. 536 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 12: That's why everybody's talking about it. Even really, people that 537 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 12: truly hate me are making this investment. 538 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 13: One person hates my guts. You spend to put a 539 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:25,199 Speaker 13: billion dollars into it. I said, you mist like this 540 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,680 Speaker 13: program a lot because you can't stand me. I said, 541 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 13: I do, But I do like you more than you think. 542 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: And it's true. The company they announced a whole bunch 543 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,399 Speaker 1: of new big corporations yesterday that are jumping in on 544 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:45,920 Speaker 1: this thing too, among them Dell, Visa, Uber, Blackrock, Charles Schwab, MasterCard, 545 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:48,879 Speaker 1: and at Chipotele was one of the mino that got 546 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,880 Speaker 1: on it yesterday. Bank of America has pledged to match 547 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 1: these Trump accounts. Turning Point said, they're going to match 548 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 1: these Trump accounts. Go to Trump Accounts dot gov if 549 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 1: you want to read more about this. It's exciting or 550 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 1: a minute. Here we are in the Relief Factor studios, 551 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 1: looking live at Phoenix, Arizona this morning on nine sixty 552 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 1: the Patriot headquarters of Turning Point, USA. Interestingly, I had 553 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 1: a great conversation with them yesterday. Marsha Blackburn and I 554 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 1: had a great conversation yesterday. She was at this Trump 555 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,439 Speaker 1: Account event. We had a brief talk with her. You 556 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 1: guys in Tennessee, she's likely to be your next governor. 557 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,600 Speaker 1: Here was our conversation, Senator Blackburn. Good to see you 558 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:32,120 Speaker 1: in person. Yes, indeed, it's a busy in a big 559 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,120 Speaker 1: day here. As you and I are speaking, the moms 560 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 1: are represented on the stage. This is a fascinating concept 561 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 1: and pretty easy to understand. But it's maybe something a 562 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 1: lot of Americans don't know. And that's just the free 563 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 1: market at work versus waiting for a handout from government. 564 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 1: I love that that's the focus, using government to say 565 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 1: the free market's the better way to go. 566 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 15: Well, yeah, so you're exactly right, And all these babies 567 00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 15: that are born for the next three years are going 568 00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 15: to get a Trump account, and good for them. And 569 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 15: people that have children and their little kids and they 570 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 15: want to start a Trump account. They can go to 571 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:15,120 Speaker 15: the IRS website and pull down Form forty five forty 572 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 15: seven and start that account for their children. 573 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 1: The good thing is, as you said, it's a. 574 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 15: Free market at work. You put that initial deposit in. 575 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 15: If you make all the max contributions by the time 576 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 15: the child is eighteen, then you've got over three hundred 577 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 15: thousand dollars in the account. If you keep the account 578 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 15: until they're twenty eight, it's a million dollars. So that's 579 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 15: an education with no debt, or that's a house for individuals. 580 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 15: And it does shift that narrative to building that nest 581 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 15: egg and talking about access to capital, talking about financial literacy, 582 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 15: talking about less and saving more and doing more with less, 583 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 15: and those are important concepts. 584 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 1: You know what I love about it is it makes 585 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 1: the taxpayer and the citizen a fan and an ally 586 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 1: of the free market instead of this Marxist ideology that's 587 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 1: causing people to be hostile and angry and says capitalism 588 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 1: is a bad thing and they want government from cradle 589 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 1: to grave. This is the first time I've ever seen 590 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 1: a Treasury secretary and a president say we're going to 591 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 1: use the bully public of the government to message it 592 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 1: a different way. I just love it. 593 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 15: I think it is absolutely fantastic and to be able 594 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 15: to for children to have these accounts, for parents to 595 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 15: be able to every quarter every year. Look at the 596 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 15: way that interest is growing. 597 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 5: I think that it's. 598 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 15: A wonderful concept. I applaud the President and Secretary Besent 599 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 15: for bringing it forward. I'm a member of Senate Finance Committee, 600 00:30:56,280 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 15: and of course we pushed as a committee this concept 601 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 15: forward and included it in the Working Families tax cut. 602 00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 1: It's a busy week here in Washington. All eyes on 603 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 1: you guys in Congress as we're talking about another government shutdown. 604 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 1: Where's that headed? 605 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 15: I don't think you'll see a shutdown. You've got some 606 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 15: Democrats that want. 607 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 1: One and most who don't. 608 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:24,200 Speaker 15: So being sure that we fund the government and get 609 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 15: off the Biden budget and onto the Trump budget numbers 610 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 15: is the imperative. 611 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 8: We'll do that. 612 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 15: We'll stay here till we get it done. 613 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 1: DHS, they say, is what they will not fund. Chuck 614 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 1: Schumer said, they've used the situation in Minneapolis as the 615 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,960 Speaker 1: INMPRA moder to say we're not funding the Department of 616 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 1: Homeland Security. Do you think that's ultimately what's going to happen. 617 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 15: No, because Homeland Security also covers FEMA, and right now 618 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 15: we have two hundred million Americans that have been adversely 619 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:56,960 Speaker 15: impacted via storm. In Tennessee, we have had such an 620 00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:01,240 Speaker 15: ice storm. We've not had something like this in our 621 00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:06,680 Speaker 15: recent history, and there is an incredible amount of damage. 622 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 15: In Nashville alone. You still have one hundred and thirty 623 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 15: thousand premises that are without power, and that's a lot 624 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:18,880 Speaker 15: of people that are still waiting to get their power back. 625 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 1: So a bad look to not fund FEMA, A. 626 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 15: Very bad look to not fund FEMA. Coastguard funding comes 627 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 15: out of the DHS budget, and of course that is 628 00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 15: important all along the Eastern Seyboard and the impact they've 629 00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 15: felt from the storm. 630 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 1: I know you've got hearing today. You and I were 631 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:39,440 Speaker 1: just talking a little bit about it. This is an 632 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 1: interesting one. Maybe something isn't on everybody's front page, But 633 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 1: what are you working on? 634 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 12: Oh? 635 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 15: Yes, we're going to talk about the scalping and the 636 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 15: uppricing that is taking place in the live venue ticketing 637 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:59,160 Speaker 15: market for concerts, for shows, for sporting events. And Ticketmaster 638 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 15: has allowed this to go on, claiming they couldn't police 639 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,000 Speaker 15: the bots that hit their site. 640 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 16: Every day. 641 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 15: We know that that's false. We'll hear from them. Kid 642 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 15: Rock is the artist who is going to be in 643 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 15: front of us. We're going to talk about the scalping 644 00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:19,720 Speaker 15: and the secondary market, the resale market where they increase 645 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,480 Speaker 15: the prices one hundred and two hundred three hundred percent, 646 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,720 Speaker 15: and of course Ticketmacster Ticketmaster gets a piece of that action. 647 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,440 Speaker 1: Before I let you go Save Act, I know you've 648 00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:30,800 Speaker 1: got a run, but say it. Could I ask you 649 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:32,240 Speaker 1: about the Save Act? Where are you on that? And 650 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:33,640 Speaker 1: do you think that's going to make it through the Senate. 651 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,880 Speaker 15: We have it at Judiciary Committee, and yes, indeed we 652 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:38,720 Speaker 15: expect to make it through the Senate. 653 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,200 Speaker 1: That's a big one.

Thanks 711 00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:22,040 Speaker 1: a lot for subscribing to the Christigall Show podcast so 712 00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:23,920 Speaker 1: you never miss an episode or can go back and 713 00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,719 Speaker 1: review if there's anything you wanted to hear again, or 714 00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 1: maybe you missed all of it, as well as social 715 00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,600 Speaker 1: media and a lot of my posts from yesterday at 716 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,919 Speaker 1: Christigall dot com. It was just great fun. People were 717 00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 1: of good cheer yesterday. No anger, no hatefulness, no gnashing 718 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:44,000 Speaker 1: of teeth. People very very excited about their future and 719 00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:48,920 Speaker 1: their family's future. Even a little star power here Nicki Minaj, 720 00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:53,200 Speaker 1: the rapper I think she is by sales Ed. Is 721 00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:55,120 Speaker 1: this right? We've gone over this before. Whether you like 722 00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:56,680 Speaker 1: her or whether you don't, whether you have a taste 723 00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,080 Speaker 1: for her or not, she does have a track record 724 00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:01,400 Speaker 1: of some pretty remarkable success in the rap world. 725 00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:05,200 Speaker 5: Yes, oh yes, yeah, absolutely, Yeah, she's big. 726 00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,560 Speaker 1: I don't know how big. They call her the biggest 727 00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:11,120 Speaker 1: rap artist a female rap artist ever. I don't know 728 00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,160 Speaker 1: if that's true or not. By sales. I'm not sure 729 00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,279 Speaker 1: if somebody like a Missy Elliott meets her or not. 730 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:16,920 Speaker 5: But she's up there sales wise. 731 00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:20,120 Speaker 7: She has over one hundred million records, so I think 732 00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,680 Speaker 7: she would be. Yes, she would be the highest selling 733 00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:26,080 Speaker 7: female rapper of all time. 734 00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,440 Speaker 1: At the moment. She's a big deal anyway. She came 735 00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,759 Speaker 1: out yesterday during this Trump accounts event and here's a 736 00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:33,840 Speaker 1: little of it. Number ten. Nicki Minaja on stage with 737 00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:35,520 Speaker 1: the President Trump yesterday. 738 00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:46,400 Speaker 9: I am probably the President's number one fan and that's 739 00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:51,600 Speaker 9: not going to change. And the hate, well, what people 740 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,840 Speaker 9: have to say, it does not affect. 741 00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:55,520 Speaker 1: Me at all. 742 00:37:56,000 --> 00:38:00,319 Speaker 9: It actually motivates me to support him more, and it's 743 00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,560 Speaker 9: going to motivate all of us to support them more. 744 00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:05,520 Speaker 9: We're not going to let them get away with bullying him. 745 00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:09,200 Speaker 9: And you know, the Samar campaigns. It's not going to work. 746 00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:10,120 Speaker 5: Okay. 747 00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:15,240 Speaker 9: He has a lot of force behind him and God 748 00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:17,120 Speaker 9: is protecting him. 749 00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:26,840 Speaker 1: Amen, boy, and she invoked God. Yikes. Anyway, that was 750 00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:30,000 Speaker 1: a lot of fun. Mister wonderful. Kevin O'Leary was there 751 00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,200 Speaker 1: and he took the microphone for a bit. We spoke 752 00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,880 Speaker 1: with him yesterday. You'll hear that conversation coming up in 753 00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,680 Speaker 1: just a little bit. Bank of America will match one 754 00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:42,160 Speaker 1: thousand dollar government deposits to Trump accounts. They announced yesterday 755 00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:45,399 Speaker 1: they're contributing again. The bank said, somebody emailed me, oh, well, 756 00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,360 Speaker 1: this is just just wasting taxpayer No, this is not. 757 00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:52,400 Speaker 1: Just to be clear, this is not funded with tax dollars, folks, 758 00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,759 Speaker 1: lest anybody misunderstand this, these Trump accounts, this thousand dollars 759 00:38:56,840 --> 00:39:00,800 Speaker 1: seed money in each child's account is not tax dollars. 760 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:04,120 Speaker 1: These are private donations like the Dell guy. I forget 761 00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:07,440 Speaker 1: how many billions he donated to this alone. But the 762 00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:12,880 Speaker 1: estimate I think Scott Best said something like three million 763 00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:16,160 Speaker 1: kids will be born this year or something like that. 764 00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:18,319 Speaker 1: I think it was something like that. So anyway, it's 765 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 1: a thousand dollars deposit seed money from the Treasury private 766 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:26,400 Speaker 1: sector donations, and then the encouragement is that the private 767 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:31,040 Speaker 1: sector will contribute to you as an employee the family fund. 768 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,520 Speaker 1: So you get this thousand dollars deposit for your baby 769 00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:37,680 Speaker 1: in this account. Hopefully your employer, like Bank of America 770 00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:39,840 Speaker 1: for instance, the banks that they will match this thousand 771 00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:44,160 Speaker 1: dollars contribution and it can apply to all one hundred 772 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:47,239 Speaker 1: and sixty five thousand of their employees. Additionally, the banks 773 00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,759 Speaker 1: that they will enable their employees with children under age 774 00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:53,359 Speaker 1: eighteen to make pre tax contribution to Trump accounts as 775 00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:57,400 Speaker 1: well through payroll deductions. So you can open one of 776 00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,120 Speaker 1: these Trump accounts, and again you can go to the 777 00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:02,879 Speaker 1: IRIS website. I think it's formed forty five forty seven, 778 00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:06,120 Speaker 1: which I thought was pretty clever, and you can open 779 00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:08,160 Speaker 1: one of these for any child under the age of 780 00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:13,600 Speaker 1: eighteen pre tax money. But anyway, that thousand dollars, I 781 00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:16,640 Speaker 1: think there is up. I don't quote me on this, 782 00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:18,960 Speaker 1: but I think even those of you who have children 783 00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:21,400 Speaker 1: under the age of eighteen can qualify for something like 784 00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:25,000 Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty bucks. I think check with your accountant. 785 00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:29,480 Speaker 1: Here's a little bit from Scott bessont Street tough Treasury 786 00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:31,760 Speaker 1: Secretary Scott Besson, who was in his element yesterday. 787 00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:36,480 Speaker 17: Number nine, The compound growth from Treasury's initial seed funding 788 00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:41,440 Speaker 17: alone stands to make young Americans wealthy. Assuming historical growth 789 00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:45,719 Speaker 17: rates continue, A single thousand dollars deposit into a Trump 790 00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:48,880 Speaker 17: account at birth to grow to an estimated amount of 791 00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:52,000 Speaker 17: at least half a million dollars by the age of retirement. 792 00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:56,600 Speaker 17: The thousand dollars seed from Treasury is exclusive to newborns, 793 00:40:57,200 --> 00:41:00,200 Speaker 17: but keep in mind that any American below the age 794 00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:04,080 Speaker 17: of eighteen is also eligible to receive a tax advantage 795 00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,920 Speaker 17: Trump account to begin saving for the future. 796 00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,279 Speaker 1: You know Mark Stein, the great commentator filled in for 797 00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:15,440 Speaker 1: Rush often. You know him well, prolific author and commentator. 798 00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:19,400 Speaker 1: He used to say that demography is destiny. Elon Musk 799 00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:22,840 Speaker 1: is a guy that repeats constantly the notion that restoring 800 00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:26,760 Speaker 1: birth rates should be our top priority in this country, 801 00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:30,680 Speaker 1: really all of the West, and they're both right. This 802 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,680 Speaker 1: event yesterday was as much about encouraging birth rates as 803 00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:37,520 Speaker 1: anything else, because birth rates are collapsing across the developed world. 804 00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:40,920 Speaker 1: The United States is well below two point one children 805 00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:46,040 Speaker 1: per woman needed for replacement. Did you know that Europe, Canada, Japan, 806 00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:52,040 Speaker 1: South Korea and China even sharper declines than that, and 807 00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:56,880 Speaker 1: the consequences are not speculative here, they're unavoidable. Aging populations, 808 00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:05,799 Speaker 1: a shrinking workforce, overwhelmed entitlement programs, weakened cultural cohesion, and 809 00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:09,719 Speaker 1: economies that gradually lose the energy and innovation only young 810 00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:15,040 Speaker 1: families can provide. Bottom line, A nation that stops having 811 00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:19,960 Speaker 1: babies eventually stops being a nation at all. And this 812 00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:24,400 Speaker 1: decline is not simply happening to us. We're participating it, 813 00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:28,719 Speaker 1: participating in it, i should say, often without even realizing it, 814 00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:35,040 Speaker 1: through our habits, also through incentives and expectations that quietly 815 00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:38,480 Speaker 1: erode our capacity to build families in the first place. 816 00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:45,560 Speaker 1: Men uniquely face a psychological and cultural trap. You got 817 00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:51,560 Speaker 1: chronic pot use that depresses testosterone significantly. Every study shows it, 818 00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:58,000 Speaker 1: sedentary lifestyles, ultra processed food, the digital addiction, the isolating 819 00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:02,120 Speaker 1: effects of porn. The result is a generation of men 820 00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:07,959 Speaker 1: with diminished energy, confidence, and purpose. These aren't small choices either. 821 00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:12,120 Speaker 1: They directly undermine the biological and emotional foundation required for 822 00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:18,400 Speaker 1: fatherhood strength, physical, mental, spiritual. It's always been a prerequisite 823 00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:22,960 Speaker 1: for building a successful and strong family. Habits that weaken 824 00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:28,160 Speaker 1: men weaken all of society. Then there's women. They face 825 00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:32,839 Speaker 1: a different but equally destructive pressure. Women now make up 826 00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:38,560 Speaker 1: fifty eight percent of college students, and they hold nearly 827 00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:42,680 Speaker 1: two thirds of the student loan debt. Now that burden 828 00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:50,239 Speaker 1: delays every major life decision, marriage, home, ownership, kids. Meanwhile, 829 00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:54,719 Speaker 1: on many college campuses, the messaging runs counter to what 830 00:43:55,280 --> 00:44:00,439 Speaker 1: once grounded communities like faith and family and merit. That's 831 00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:04,880 Speaker 1: all passe now on college campuses, faith, family, and merit. Instead, 832 00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:10,560 Speaker 1: young women are steered toward politics, politics of grievance, and 833 00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:18,040 Speaker 1: careers as their identity motherhood optional not essential. The result 834 00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:22,360 Speaker 1: is a generation unsure whether family even fits into their future. 835 00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:27,919 Speaker 1: These aren't problems Washington can legislate away, of course, their 836 00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:34,680 Speaker 1: cultural choices and cultural corrections, and the path forward is 837 00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:38,319 Speaker 1: actually clearer than it feels. I think it starts with 838 00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:43,640 Speaker 1: events like yesterday. It also means that men can and 839 00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:49,000 Speaker 1: should reclaim vitality through discipline, training, eating real food, rejecting drugs, 840 00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:53,440 Speaker 1: and rediscovering purpose in building rather than escaping. I think 841 00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:57,040 Speaker 1: that's what the Maha element of the Trump administration is 842 00:44:57,040 --> 00:45:02,240 Speaker 1: all about. Meanwhile, women, they can shed the debt driven 843 00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:06,920 Speaker 1: treadmill thereon by rooting themselves again in community, church, virtue, 844 00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:12,279 Speaker 1: and the long term rewards of marriage and motherhood. You know, 845 00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:17,040 Speaker 1: a healthy society is not an accident. It's built very 846 00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:21,880 Speaker 1: intentionally by men and women who understand that strength, virtue, marriage, 847 00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:26,160 Speaker 1: and children aren't relics of the past. They are pillars 848 00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:30,840 Speaker 1: of any civilization that hopes to endure. Every faith tradition 849 00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:35,800 Speaker 1: that shaped the West, especially the Judeo Christian one, taught 850 00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:41,000 Speaker 1: this plainly that families are the first schools. Fathers are 851 00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:45,880 Speaker 1: the first protectors, mothers are the first nurturers, and children 852 00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:53,520 Speaker 1: the first inheritance. But when those foundations crack, nations begin 853 00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:58,000 Speaker 1: to crack with them. It's not nostalgia, folks, it's the 854 00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:03,920 Speaker 1: oldest truth in human history. Strong families are how a 855 00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:12,560 Speaker 1: civilization survives over time. President Trump's efforts with these Trump 856 00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:16,840 Speaker 1: accounts are one way to try to stoke that, because 857 00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:21,200 Speaker 1: demographics is destiny. If we want a country worth inheriting, 858 00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:26,799 Speaker 1: we've got to begin living like heirs, living like builders. 859 00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:32,239 Speaker 1: Once again, moren a minute, keep a sharp eye on 860 00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:37,279 Speaker 1: old Josh Shapiro. He is the governor of Pennsylvania, and 861 00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:39,480 Speaker 1: he is the guy that wants to be the next 862 00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:43,000 Speaker 1: president of the United States. He's shopping, he's got a 863 00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:46,640 Speaker 1: new book that's not doing terribly well. He's been attacking 864 00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:49,560 Speaker 1: Cackle Bridges, the former Vice president who passed him over, 865 00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:53,080 Speaker 1: because he's a Jew. He's taking shots at her to 866 00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:55,200 Speaker 1: make sure that she does not pop her head up again. 867 00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:58,359 Speaker 1: But he's got a problem in Pennsylvania, you know, because 868 00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:02,080 Speaker 1: he's a Democrat, and he's always had Beltway media very 869 00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:04,279 Speaker 1: excited about him. Fast Eddie and I know a little 870 00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:09,880 Speaker 1: something about Little Josh. He's always portrayed himself as mister moderate, 871 00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:15,839 Speaker 1: get excrement done. He's kind of the Jewish version of Obama. 872 00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:19,239 Speaker 1: No blue states, no red states, United States, except he 873 00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:22,200 Speaker 1: is like Obama, and that he is a flame throwing, 874 00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:25,719 Speaker 1: committed left wing ideologue who likes to pretend he's not 875 00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:29,400 Speaker 1: that about right ed. People need to be very cautious 876 00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:31,120 Speaker 1: of this guy, because a lot of people in this 877 00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:33,279 Speaker 1: audience may not know him yet or be thinking about him. 878 00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:36,120 Speaker 1: But I'll warn you he's coming on. He wants the job, 879 00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:39,560 Speaker 1: and there are a lot of people, frankly on our side, 880 00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:41,960 Speaker 1: who would like to convince you, you know, he's a 881 00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:45,319 Speaker 1: really reasonable guy, and I just want to disabuse this 882 00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:45,880 Speaker 1: audience of that. 883 00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:47,919 Speaker 5: Right now, that's exactly right. 884 00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:50,640 Speaker 7: He will show up on some of your favorite conservative 885 00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:51,680 Speaker 7: commentator shows. 886 00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:54,040 Speaker 5: He's going to be all over that. They try to say. 887 00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:56,040 Speaker 1: It's gonna be on Brettbair tonight. Brett Bahir's going to 888 00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:57,360 Speaker 1: give him a sit down tonight. 889 00:47:57,160 --> 00:48:00,440 Speaker 5: Perfect Doug. That makes total sense. Okay. 890 00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:03,320 Speaker 7: So yes, Josh Shapiro is not a moderate in any way, 891 00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:05,920 Speaker 7: but he sells himself as a moderate. And I have 892 00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:09,080 Speaker 7: no idea why, but even some in our space take debate. 893 00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:12,680 Speaker 1: I would love to know why he's not asked about 894 00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:16,919 Speaker 1: John Fetterman, wouldn't you John Fetterman, the senior senator from Pennsylvania, 895 00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:19,000 Speaker 1: And I think he should be made to answer why 896 00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:22,800 Speaker 1: does he disagree with John Fetterman, his senator from Pennsylvania. 897 00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:25,680 Speaker 1: Don't you think? Here's Fetterman yesterday going nuclear on his 898 00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:28,720 Speaker 1: own party about this abolishing ice notion. And number four, 899 00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:29,399 Speaker 1: listen to this. 900 00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:35,000 Speaker 16: You know, all of the abolish ice and all that nonsense, 901 00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:39,280 Speaker 16: that's absurd. You know, it does have a necessary function, 902 00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:43,480 Speaker 16: and we should just focus on the thing. Most Americans 903 00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:48,120 Speaker 16: can secure the border, you know, round up and support 904 00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:50,640 Speaker 16: every criminal migrants here that are in our. 905 00:48:50,600 --> 00:49:00,840 Speaker 1: Nation versus in Philadelphia the DA Larry Krasner, eighty nine. 906 00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:05,319 Speaker 18: This is a small bunch of wanna be Nazis, that's 907 00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:08,719 Speaker 18: what they are. In our countrary of three hundred and 908 00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:13,360 Speaker 18: fifty million, we outnumber them. If we have to hunt 909 00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:18,279 Speaker 18: you down the way they hunted down Nazis for decades. 910 00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:22,279 Speaker 1: Okay, okay, So who does Josh Shapiro stand with? John 911 00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:26,920 Speaker 1: Fetterman or Larry Krasner. One of the more impressive guys 912 00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:31,720 Speaker 1: in the Treasury Department beyond street tough. Treasury Secretary Scott 913 00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:34,759 Speaker 1: Bessant is his chief counsel, and we've spoken of them 914 00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:36,200 Speaker 1: a couple of times. First met him at the White 915 00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:40,000 Speaker 1: House last year. His name's Joe Lavorna. I really like 916 00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:42,920 Speaker 1: this guy. He's terribly sharp, very serious. You can just 917 00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:45,480 Speaker 1: the people at Treasury ed are just buttoned up, You 918 00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:47,560 Speaker 1: know how you can just tell when you're around people 919 00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:52,120 Speaker 1: that have it together. Everything about yesterday was organized, well, 920 00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:55,759 Speaker 1: rolled out, well communicated. Everybody knew what they were talking about. 921 00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:59,000 Speaker 1: They were all on the same page. You just you 922 00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:02,000 Speaker 1: could see it. Everybody was rowing in the same direction. 923 00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:05,160 Speaker 1: Treasury I can speak to this no matter what you 924 00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:07,719 Speaker 1: think about anything else going on in the Trump administration. 925 00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:10,000 Speaker 1: Treasury's buttoned up, man, that's what we know. 926 00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:13,160 Speaker 7: Absolutely No. When EJ our good friend EJ. And Tony 927 00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:15,240 Speaker 7: told us earlier in the year that he was happy 928 00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:18,359 Speaker 7: that that vessent was so forward, so forward facing for 929 00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:21,320 Speaker 7: the administration on finance, I had a good feeling. 930 00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:24,759 Speaker 1: And so to that point. Here's a great conversation we 931 00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:28,520 Speaker 1: had yesterday on this Trump accounts they launched officially there 932 00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:31,279 Speaker 1: in Washington. We were there and we talked with the 933 00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:36,279 Speaker 1: Chief counsel to Scott Messant Joe here in Washington, DC, 934 00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:40,040 Speaker 1: with the Counselor to the Treasury Secretary, Joel Livorna. It's 935 00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:41,520 Speaker 1: good to see you again. Last time we were together 936 00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:42,280 Speaker 1: it was at the White House. 937 00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:43,600 Speaker 4: That's right, good to see you again. 938 00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:45,560 Speaker 1: Thank you. This is an exciting event. And I think 939 00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:47,879 Speaker 1: to myself, my kids are now high school and college age. 940 00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:50,600 Speaker 1: But man, I'm thinking about going home and seeing about 941 00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:54,279 Speaker 1: a baby. That's all at me wonderful. Go for it. 942 00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:57,880 Speaker 1: I just heard the Treasury Secretary say in his remarks 943 00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:01,640 Speaker 1: this morning that he what did he say? Ten thousand 944 00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:05,200 Speaker 1: babies would be born today in the United States, some 945 00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:07,319 Speaker 1: three million by the end of the year. Each of 946 00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:10,160 Speaker 1: them under this plan proposed to day would receive one thousand. 947 00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:11,880 Speaker 4: Dollars correct thousand dollars from the US Treasury, and you 948 00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:15,000 Speaker 4: can top it off to another five thousand annually. And 949 00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:17,440 Speaker 4: the powers of compound interests, which suggests that you have 950 00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:22,000 Speaker 4: historical equity returns that money maximum contribution. Child born in 951 00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:24,719 Speaker 4: twenty twenty six would have over three hundred thousand when 952 00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:27,640 Speaker 4: they are eighteen, and then by twenty eight could be 953 00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:29,080 Speaker 4: almost one point one million. 954 00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:32,040 Speaker 1: And the Schwab numbers I read, if you didn't touch it, 955 00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:36,080 Speaker 1: conservatively over two million dollars by age sixty. 956 00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:39,680 Speaker 4: Absolutely sure, Absolutely, this again it's compound interest and it's 957 00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:42,840 Speaker 4: financial literacy, many of the things the Secretary cares deeply about. 958 00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:47,480 Speaker 4: People will see capitalism and the financial markets effectively working 959 00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:50,800 Speaker 4: in real time, growing wealth, becoming a part of the system, 960 00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:54,360 Speaker 4: being a stakeholder in the system. You know, we're democratizing 961 00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:57,160 Speaker 4: capitalism and making an investment in the future. 962 00:51:57,200 --> 00:51:59,880 Speaker 1: And isn't that really what this is about more than 963 00:51:59,920 --> 00:52:01,800 Speaker 1: anything else. And I know it's close to the Treasury 964 00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:05,160 Speaker 1: Secretary's hard and the President's there's an attack, a cultural 965 00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:09,000 Speaker 1: attack on the free market. And I think this is 966 00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:12,120 Speaker 1: the great use of the president and the secretary's bullypop 967 00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:13,920 Speaker 1: but to push back and say, no, the free market 968 00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:14,600 Speaker 1: is your friend. 969 00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:17,759 Speaker 4: No, that's exactly correct. Again, this is an investment in 970 00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:21,840 Speaker 4: the future, an investment in the livelihoods and financial wellbeing 971 00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:25,440 Speaker 4: of young boys and girls born in twenty six and beyond. 972 00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:28,359 Speaker 1: So the deal is families can contric should say. 973 00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:29,600 Speaker 4: Even before that, I should say twenty six is you 974 00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:33,600 Speaker 4: can contribute if you don't qualify for the Trump accounts, 975 00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:36,200 Speaker 4: you know, the one thousand. I shouldn't say twenty six. 976 00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:39,680 Speaker 4: You could still contribute the five thousand, you just don't 977 00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:42,120 Speaker 4: get the initial one thousand. That's very broad program, I 978 00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:42,960 Speaker 4: should correct myself. 979 00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:44,719 Speaker 1: So this is I think of it in another way. 980 00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:46,760 Speaker 1: So a baby four oh one k, if you will, 981 00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:49,040 Speaker 1: you have so the family can contribute five thousand dollars 982 00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:51,920 Speaker 1: annually to this account, and employers can also contribute, kind 983 00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:53,879 Speaker 1: of like a four h one K. How does that work? 984 00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:56,680 Speaker 4: They go twenty five hundred. It doesn't count as taxable income. 985 00:52:57,120 --> 00:52:59,000 Speaker 4: And this actually works as well, like sort of like 986 00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:02,040 Speaker 4: a savings vehicle investment vehicle four on one type of program. 987 00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:04,719 Speaker 1: So this would be I have a baby, my employer 988 00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:06,319 Speaker 1: could contribute to my baby's fund. 989 00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:07,200 Speaker 5: Is that the way that's correct? 990 00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:08,879 Speaker 4: Yes, Yes, I actually to say four one cake because 991 00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:12,319 Speaker 4: that you have to take out at retirement age. The 992 00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:14,360 Speaker 4: young boys and girls will be able to take advantage 993 00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:16,560 Speaker 4: of this at eighteen. Hopefully they'll keep it in the 994 00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:18,680 Speaker 4: system longer. Let that money can pound and grow more. 995 00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:20,360 Speaker 4: But that's money they could take out and do what 996 00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:22,400 Speaker 4: they want. If they want to make a down payment 997 00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:24,840 Speaker 4: on a home, they want to go back to school 998 00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:27,640 Speaker 4: for an advanced degree, whatever it might be, they've got 999 00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:29,439 Speaker 4: the ability to do that with the moneys they've earned. 1000 00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:32,560 Speaker 1: So people watching and listening the best way to find 1001 00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:34,320 Speaker 1: out more about this and how they can get involved. 1002 00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:38,160 Speaker 1: It's right from ninecounts. Yeah, Trump accounts, Yeah somewhere Trump 1003 00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:40,839 Speaker 1: account is somewhere on the side behind Trump accounts dot gov. 1004 00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:43,479 Speaker 4: Trump accounts dot gov. When they're filling out their tax form, 1005 00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:46,880 Speaker 4: look for form forty five forty seven. You could sign up. 1006 00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:49,800 Speaker 4: It's live and then the money will be deposited around July. 1007 00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:51,759 Speaker 1: Fourth, and educate your accountant if he or she doesn't 1008 00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:53,719 Speaker 1: know about it. Yes, but it's going to be pretty straightforward. 1009 00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:54,960 Speaker 1: But yes, they'll understand. 1010 00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:59,200 Speaker 4: The Treasury has made this very very easy to understand 1011 00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:02,279 Speaker 4: and very so. I think it's going to get tremendous participation. 1012 00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:07,319 Speaker 1: Your boss, Treasury secretary person is so funny to us, 1013 00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:09,600 Speaker 1: may I say in a good way. I have never 1014 00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:14,360 Speaker 1: ever watched a Treasury secretary entertain me the way Scott 1015 00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:15,879 Speaker 1: bessons on the world stage. 1016 00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:18,760 Speaker 4: He's a renaissance man and very interesting, very funny. 1017 00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:21,080 Speaker 1: Does he know that he's going as viral as he goes? 1018 00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:22,600 Speaker 1: Is he aware? I mean, I know it's just. 1019 00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:23,319 Speaker 5: Him being that's sure. 1020 00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:24,800 Speaker 4: I think no. I think it's him being him. I 1021 00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:27,000 Speaker 4: think some people like about him. They since it general, 1022 00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:29,880 Speaker 4: you know, just he's being himself, you know, somebody that 1023 00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:32,880 Speaker 4: can relate to everybody, and I think people like that. 1024 00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:36,200 Speaker 1: He really laid this mack down on Gavin Newsom atdabbos 1025 00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:37,840 Speaker 1: last week. How did that go? What was the reveal? 1026 00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:38,000 Speaker 15: Well? 1027 00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:40,120 Speaker 4: I think, you know, I think, you know, I think 1028 00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:42,640 Speaker 4: sort of the viewership itself and the fact that on 1029 00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:44,240 Speaker 4: viral I think speaks for itself. 1030 00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:47,760 Speaker 1: Tariffs are before the Supreme Court right now, critically important 1031 00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:51,640 Speaker 1: to the President's agenda. In my view, I've made the case. 1032 00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:53,919 Speaker 1: I know that the president's attorneys have made the case. 1033 00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:55,759 Speaker 1: This is an Article two power. I mean, he's been 1034 00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:58,759 Speaker 1: able to achieve so much without firing a shot. We've 1035 00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:00,800 Speaker 1: seen it with Greenland, We've seen it with Venezuela. This 1036 00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:02,399 Speaker 1: just like a naval blockade in my view. 1037 00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:05,120 Speaker 4: Tariffs you I mean ipe set up where the president 1038 00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:07,239 Speaker 4: has the ability to control the imports coming in, and 1039 00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:10,319 Speaker 4: that's effectively what the president's done. The Secretary was there, 1040 00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:13,160 Speaker 4: he heard the case. He thought the arguments were very powerful, 1041 00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:16,080 Speaker 4: made on the president's behalf. It's so it'd be highly 1042 00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:18,880 Speaker 4: unusual for the court to rule against the signature policy 1043 00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:21,920 Speaker 4: initiative that the administration is put in, and we're hopeful 1044 00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:24,000 Speaker 4: the court is going to rule in our favor. The 1045 00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:26,479 Speaker 4: fact that it's dragged on perhaps suggest that the fact 1046 00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:29,600 Speaker 4: that the court is taking is very seriously and we'll 1047 00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:32,520 Speaker 4: do the right thing and obviously validate these tariffs as 1048 00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:34,320 Speaker 4: being within the constitutional right of the president. 1049 00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:37,200 Speaker 1: Are there what if conversations about they come back and 1050 00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:39,840 Speaker 1: rule them unconstitutional. 1051 00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:41,480 Speaker 4: Well, there always are, and the secretaries mentioned that if 1052 00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:43,399 Speaker 4: it should things not work out the way we think 1053 00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:45,600 Speaker 4: they will, then there will be obviously remedial measures put 1054 00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:48,400 Speaker 4: in place. The tariffs are a signature policy of the President. 1055 00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:52,160 Speaker 4: They've been extraordinarily successful in dealing with the economic, emergency 1056 00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:54,800 Speaker 4: and national security issues, especially as relates to fentanel and 1057 00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:57,680 Speaker 4: the drugs coming in that the terrorifts are designed to protect. 1058 00:55:57,680 --> 00:55:59,920 Speaker 4: So it's done exactly the way they should be implemented. 1059 00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:03,160 Speaker 4: And hopeful that we'll get the ruling that we so expect. 1060 00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:05,520 Speaker 4: If it's not the case, then we'll go to Plan B. 1061 00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:07,520 Speaker 4: But again, the tariffs are going to be here in 1062 00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:11,640 Speaker 4: one form or another. They've been wildly successful and they've 1063 00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:13,839 Speaker 4: not given any of the negatives that people thought they would. 1064 00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:17,440 Speaker 1: And the revenue coming in has been very, very useful. 1065 00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:19,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I know the President has mentioned the revenue 1066 00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:22,759 Speaker 1: from these tariffs have been implemented already. Well we see 1067 00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:25,000 Speaker 1: it in things like the Trump bondsers that's something different. 1068 00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:27,319 Speaker 4: Than the revenue has been important. But again, the whole 1069 00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:30,400 Speaker 4: point of President Trump is really trying to improve the 1070 00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:34,560 Speaker 4: daily lot of average Americans, working class Americans, blue collar Americans, 1071 00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:38,000 Speaker 4: and you need to do that by reindustrializing, reinvigorating the 1072 00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:41,360 Speaker 4: factory sector. And the tariffs are the important cudgel to 1073 00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:44,680 Speaker 4: get that foreign capital into the US. Because you're tariffing, 1074 00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:48,520 Speaker 4: you're encouraging companies to relocate their factories, their production, their 1075 00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:51,560 Speaker 4: capital in the US. Then they build, they create jobs. 1076 00:56:51,600 --> 00:56:54,080 Speaker 4: Those are high paying jobs. We start making things again. 1077 00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:56,360 Speaker 4: The President wants to build again. That's why in the 1078 00:56:56,360 --> 00:56:59,360 Speaker 4: one Big Beautiful Bill that include a full expensing for 1079 00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:02,919 Speaker 4: factories just for three years that never happened before. Again, 1080 00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:06,320 Speaker 4: it's encouraging building, an investment, and the tariffs are integral 1081 00:57:06,320 --> 00:57:09,280 Speaker 4: in that and rebalancing trade in a way that deals 1082 00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:12,360 Speaker 4: with this emergency where we've had record large trade deficits 1083 00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:15,439 Speaker 4: and a hollowing out of the US manufacturing base where 1084 00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:20,200 Speaker 4: supply chains have been shipped overseas. There's national security issues involved. 1085 00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:22,600 Speaker 4: As a secretary's mansion, you saw that during the pandemic. 1086 00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:25,480 Speaker 4: So all these things are an integrated approach. The tariffs 1087 00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:27,680 Speaker 4: are central to that, and I do expect the courts 1088 00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:30,520 Speaker 4: to understand that, and hopefully the ruling will come out soon. 1089 00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:33,520 Speaker 1: I've heard the Secretary say he expects explosive growth in 1090 00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:36,600 Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. Financially, tax returns are going to start 1091 00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:38,200 Speaker 1: rolling in soon. What do you expect? 1092 00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:40,160 Speaker 4: What are you predicting now the secretary. I don't want 1093 00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:41,680 Speaker 4: to say the secretary is wrong, but he had agree 1094 00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:43,960 Speaker 4: with me. We're having the boom already in twenty twenty five. 1095 00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:47,000 Speaker 4: Start of making a bad joke. But the economy, if 1096 00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:50,680 Speaker 4: you look at GDP excluding the government, grew almost five 1097 00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:52,440 Speaker 4: percent in Q two and Q three. 1098 00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:54,960 Speaker 1: It appears to the group five percent. Thank Q four 1099 00:57:55,040 --> 00:57:56,360 Speaker 1: it's private GDP. 1100 00:57:57,080 --> 00:57:59,680 Speaker 4: And you think, then the outlook for twenty twenty six 1101 00:57:59,720 --> 00:58:01,440 Speaker 4: is great because you're going to get more of the 1102 00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:04,600 Speaker 4: full benefits of this tax play. And that was signed 1103 00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:07,760 Speaker 4: in record time by President Trump last July. It's now 1104 00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:09,600 Speaker 4: fully in place. So you've got the one hundred percent 1105 00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:12,439 Speaker 4: expensing for the factories which should be getting built. There's 1106 00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:14,200 Speaker 4: evidence suggests that's already started in. 1107 00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:14,760 Speaker 1: A big way. 1108 00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:17,959 Speaker 4: You've got the one hundred percent expensing for capital expenditures. 1109 00:58:18,160 --> 00:58:21,040 Speaker 4: So you build a factory, it's fully expensed. You can 1110 00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:24,080 Speaker 4: fully doct again at your profits. Then the equipment you 1111 00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:27,520 Speaker 4: put in you could expense that. You get record productivity growth, 1112 00:58:27,560 --> 00:58:30,040 Speaker 4: you increase the supply potential of the economy, it lowers 1113 00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:33,000 Speaker 4: the inflation rate, corporate profits go up, and then that 1114 00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:34,880 Speaker 4: allows you then to pay your workers more, which is 1115 00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:37,800 Speaker 4: basically what happened during the first Trump administration. But this 1116 00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:39,800 Speaker 4: is going to be even better because the President has 1117 00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:42,240 Speaker 4: even had a more detailed, thorough program in place. 1118 00:58:42,560 --> 00:58:44,800 Speaker 1: I know you're busy today. We appreciate your time. Please 1119 00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:48,280 Speaker 1: tell the Treasury Secretary we just think beyond the important 1120 00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:50,240 Speaker 1: work he's doing, he's damned funny. 1121 00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:54,640 Speaker 4: Barry might just enjoy watching him. Well, I'm sure I 1122 00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:55,560 Speaker 4: know he'd appreciate that. 1123 00:58:55,600 --> 00:58:58,000 Speaker 1: Please pass it on. We love his good cheer and 1124 00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:00,280 Speaker 1: his good humor. Joe, it's great to see if person. 1125 00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:00,919 Speaker 4: Thank you again. 1126 00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:03,600 Speaker 1: Hope to see it. Thank you, thank you, thank very much. 1127 00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:07,200 Speaker 1: So that's what we were up to yesterday. They're in Washington, 1128 00:59:07,240 --> 00:59:09,800 Speaker 1: d C. We're grateful to the President and the Treasury 1129 00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:14,200 Speaker 1: Secretary for their invitation to cover the Trump Bonds event 1130 00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:18,760 Speaker 1: still to come. A really great conversation with mister Wonderful 1131 00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:23,120 Speaker 1: you know him from Sharkan Shark Tank, Evan O'Leary. I'll 1132 00:59:23,160 --> 00:59:25,560 Speaker 1: tell you a little in a little bit, a little 1133 00:59:25,560 --> 00:59:29,960 Speaker 1: behind the scenes story with him and our full conversation 1134 00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:32,120 Speaker 1: coming up. I ask him about Mark Cuban and this 1135 00:59:32,200 --> 00:59:34,880 Speaker 1: Trump Bonds thing. I said, would Mark Cuban be against this. 1136 00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:38,360 Speaker 1: His answer was interesting, even though they don't agree with 1137 00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:45,160 Speaker 1: much politically. Hang on, it is a snowy and cold 1138 00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:49,000 Speaker 1: scene in Philadelphia and much of the East Coast. I 1139 00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:52,600 Speaker 1: can confirm Washington, d C Is still snow packed, not 1140 00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:55,040 Speaker 1: a lot of milt, not a lot of and they're 1141 00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:59,800 Speaker 1: saying more snow perhaps coming this weekend as far south 1142 00:59:59,840 --> 01:00:03,560 Speaker 1: as the Carolinas and up into New England. So I 1143 01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:06,800 Speaker 1: don't know. Stay tuned on that. We'll continue to watch it. 1144 01:00:06,840 --> 01:00:10,680 Speaker 1: But there is still there's a great deal of power 1145 01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:14,480 Speaker 1: outages and boil orders going on in the South still 1146 01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:17,840 Speaker 1: from this last storm, you know. Marsha Blackburn, the Senator 1147 01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:22,400 Speaker 1: from Tennessee, said she dares Democrats to hold up DHS 1148 01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:25,520 Speaker 1: funding because FEMA funding is tied to it. I ask 1149 01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:28,360 Speaker 1: Senator Ted Cruz about this in just a minute. But first, 1150 01:00:28,560 --> 01:00:31,680 Speaker 1: think Factor, the makers of all natural relief factor, who 1151 01:00:31,800 --> 01:00:35,000 Speaker 1: created a formula four your nogging called think Factor, and 1152 01:00:35,080 --> 01:00:38,680 Speaker 1: I take it every single day. I love it. I've 1153 01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:40,880 Speaker 1: been using it now for about three weeks. And the 1154 01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:42,680 Speaker 1: thing that I love most and I've noticed right away 1155 01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:46,880 Speaker 1: about think Factor is how much sharper my mind is 1156 01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:49,720 Speaker 1: in terms of the mid day fog that I used 1157 01:00:49,720 --> 01:00:51,880 Speaker 1: to battle. I don't know about you, but that's one 1158 01:00:51,880 --> 01:00:53,560 Speaker 1: of the things that I really struggled with, is that 1159 01:00:53,640 --> 01:00:56,800 Speaker 1: kind of groggy, foggy midday after maybe too much coffee. 1160 01:00:56,840 --> 01:01:00,280 Speaker 1: That's it really has. Sincerely it's gone, and so I 1161 01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:03,080 Speaker 1: just there's a clarity and a sharpness that I now have. 1162 01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:05,080 Speaker 1: And the only difference that I've added in the course 1163 01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:07,600 Speaker 1: of my day is all natural. Think Factor. If you 1164 01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:10,120 Speaker 1: want to maintain that edge, you run it. Want to 1165 01:01:10,120 --> 01:01:14,480 Speaker 1: boost your focus and your memory and your recall and 1166 01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:16,840 Speaker 1: those sorts of things, try think Factor and see if 1167 01:01:16,880 --> 01:01:21,160 Speaker 1: you don't notice your brain kind of supercharge and you 1168 01:01:21,240 --> 01:01:23,560 Speaker 1: become just a little more focused, particularly if it's getting 1169 01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:26,040 Speaker 1: long in the day. It's think Factor. I take it 1170 01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:27,440 Speaker 1: in the morning, in the evening, and I love it. 1171 01:01:27,520 --> 01:01:29,400 Speaker 1: I'll swear by it. It's eight hundred, the number four 1172 01:01:29,400 --> 01:01:32,000 Speaker 1: relief to get yours eight hundred the number four relief 1173 01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:36,160 Speaker 1: for think Factor, and you'll get that first bottle for 1174 01:01:36,240 --> 01:01:39,880 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety five Think Factor from relief Factor at relieffactor 1175 01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:42,800 Speaker 1: dot com. So I asked Texas Senator Ted Cruz about 1176 01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:45,800 Speaker 1: a potential shutdown, and of course this report last week 1177 01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:49,200 Speaker 1: that he was caught on tape saying the Republicans were 1178 01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:51,160 Speaker 1: going to get killed. I think he was personally taking 1179 01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:53,400 Speaker 1: a bit out of context, but I let him speak 1180 01:01:53,400 --> 01:01:56,440 Speaker 1: for himself. Here's a conversation yesterday, our brief conversation with 1181 01:01:56,480 --> 01:01:59,720 Speaker 1: Ted Cruz, Senator. Good to be williams. Air, always good 1182 01:01:59,720 --> 01:02:04,600 Speaker 1: to be with. We know that this event. I talked 1183 01:02:04,640 --> 01:02:06,960 Speaker 1: with Marsha Blackburn a little while ago, and Joe Lavornia too. 1184 01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:08,400 Speaker 1: What I love and I know you love, is the 1185 01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:10,320 Speaker 1: fact that this is a celebration of the free market. 1186 01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:12,800 Speaker 1: It's very rare that we hear government celebrating the free market. 1187 01:02:13,440 --> 01:02:16,640 Speaker 3: Look, these Trump accounts, I think could well be the 1188 01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:19,600 Speaker 3: single most important part of the working Families tax cut 1189 01:02:19,640 --> 01:02:23,240 Speaker 3: that we passed last summer. I was privileged to author 1190 01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:26,880 Speaker 3: this provision, to write this law, and this is going 1191 01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:30,040 Speaker 3: to change the entire country. Starting on July fourth of 1192 01:02:30,040 --> 01:02:34,120 Speaker 3: this year, every child in America will have a personal 1193 01:02:34,160 --> 01:02:35,680 Speaker 3: investment account open for them. 1194 01:02:35,720 --> 01:02:38,080 Speaker 8: Newborn kids will have it seeded with one. 1195 01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:41,960 Speaker 3: Thousand dollars, and parents and family and employers they can 1196 01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:44,560 Speaker 3: put five thousand a year in a tax advantage account. 1197 01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:47,200 Speaker 8: And what is so exciting is is these. 1198 01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:49,720 Speaker 3: Accounts are going to be invested in the stock market, 1199 01:02:49,800 --> 01:02:52,320 Speaker 3: the S and P five hundred. That means every kid 1200 01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:55,320 Speaker 3: in America will enjoy the benefits of compound growth, which 1201 01:02:55,360 --> 01:02:59,160 Speaker 3: is transformational. But even more importantly, we're going to create 1202 01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:02,760 Speaker 3: a whole new generation of capitalist. Every child in this 1203 01:03:02,840 --> 01:03:05,320 Speaker 3: country will be an owner of the biggest employers in 1204 01:03:05,360 --> 01:03:08,440 Speaker 3: the country. That's what got me excited about this idea 1205 01:03:08,560 --> 01:03:11,919 Speaker 3: is the ability. You know, you and I have both 1206 01:03:11,960 --> 01:03:15,160 Speaker 3: seen the sad statistics of all the young people that 1207 01:03:15,200 --> 01:03:18,520 Speaker 3: are losing faith in capitalism, that think socialism might be 1208 01:03:18,560 --> 01:03:21,160 Speaker 3: a good idea. Well, now every kid's going to look 1209 01:03:21,160 --> 01:03:23,200 Speaker 3: at the economy and say, wait a second, i want 1210 01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:26,160 Speaker 3: the economy to succeed because I'm looking at my investments. 1211 01:03:26,200 --> 01:03:27,479 Speaker 8: I've got skin in the game. 1212 01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:29,920 Speaker 1: Yes, that's really powerful, and they want to protect their 1213 01:03:30,040 --> 01:03:32,040 Speaker 1: next eag for a change, right, would that'd be nice? 1214 01:03:32,120 --> 01:03:34,040 Speaker 1: I got to ask you quickly about what we see 1215 01:03:34,080 --> 01:03:36,600 Speaker 1: going on obviously in Minneapolis and now the Democrats are 1216 01:03:36,600 --> 01:03:39,840 Speaker 1: threatening your colleague, Senator Blackburn said she did not anticipate 1217 01:03:39,880 --> 01:03:42,040 Speaker 1: a shut down to you this week over at DHS. 1218 01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:43,920 Speaker 1: I think it's quite likely we'll see a shut down. 1219 01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:46,880 Speaker 3: I think the Democrats are angry and they want to 1220 01:03:46,920 --> 01:03:49,880 Speaker 3: demonstrate that they hate Ice, they hate law enforcement, they 1221 01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:53,720 Speaker 3: hate securing the borders. And it's a strange thing. You know, 1222 01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:56,920 Speaker 3: it wasn't that long ago that there was bipartisan agreement 1223 01:03:57,040 --> 01:03:58,960 Speaker 3: we can secure the borders. It's not hard to google 1224 01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:01,160 Speaker 3: and find speeches from Hill Clinton and Joe Biden and 1225 01:04:01,240 --> 01:04:03,360 Speaker 3: Chuck Schumer saying let's secure the border. 1226 01:04:04,160 --> 01:04:06,240 Speaker 8: They're now all for open borders. 1227 01:04:06,280 --> 01:04:09,760 Speaker 3: Their angry base has decided they want to abolish Ice, 1228 01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:11,840 Speaker 3: they want to abolish the police, they want to stop 1229 01:04:11,920 --> 01:04:16,240 Speaker 3: deporting violent criminals, murderous gangbangers. And so I think Chuck 1230 01:04:16,280 --> 01:04:18,840 Speaker 3: Schumer is going to have to demonstrate to his base 1231 01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:22,240 Speaker 3: that just how much they hate President Trump and how 1232 01:04:22,280 --> 01:04:23,720 Speaker 3: committed they are to open borders. 1233 01:04:23,720 --> 01:04:24,800 Speaker 8: I don't want to see a shutdown. 1234 01:04:24,840 --> 01:04:27,160 Speaker 3: I hope we don't, but I think it's likely that's 1235 01:04:27,160 --> 01:04:28,360 Speaker 3: what the Democrats are going to force. 1236 01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:30,160 Speaker 1: I know you read the report, and the Left is 1237 01:04:30,200 --> 01:04:32,080 Speaker 1: try to make a lot of hay of a conversation 1238 01:04:32,160 --> 01:04:36,320 Speaker 1: that you had about prospects for the fall. That was 1239 01:04:36,320 --> 01:04:38,480 Speaker 1: a what if scenario you were talking about, not a 1240 01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:40,120 Speaker 1: fat of complete I assume when you're talking about the 1241 01:04:40,160 --> 01:04:41,520 Speaker 1: prospects for the GOP and the fall. 1242 01:04:41,680 --> 01:04:46,160 Speaker 3: Look, it was actually, I think what President Trump has 1243 01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:50,000 Speaker 3: accomplished in this first year is extraordinary, and I think 1244 01:04:50,040 --> 01:04:51,720 Speaker 3: this fall we've got a record drawn on. 1245 01:04:51,760 --> 01:04:53,840 Speaker 8: I think the record of success. 1246 01:04:53,880 --> 01:04:54,760 Speaker 1: Securing the border. 1247 01:04:54,800 --> 01:04:58,720 Speaker 3: We've seen a ninety nine percent decrease in illegal immigration. 1248 01:04:58,360 --> 01:05:00,480 Speaker 8: That is extraordinary I've never been seen the history of 1249 01:05:00,480 --> 01:05:00,920 Speaker 8: the country. 1250 01:05:01,080 --> 01:05:02,840 Speaker 3: You look at something like the Trump accounts that's going 1251 01:05:02,880 --> 01:05:05,720 Speaker 3: to benefit every kid in America. You look at school choice, 1252 01:05:05,720 --> 01:05:07,600 Speaker 3: another provision that I wrote that is in this bill, 1253 01:05:07,840 --> 01:05:11,080 Speaker 3: the biggest federal school choice provision ever authored, that is 1254 01:05:11,120 --> 01:05:14,240 Speaker 3: going to benefit millions of kids. The biggest tax cut 1255 01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:17,280 Speaker 3: in American history. All of that together is a powerful 1256 01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:20,120 Speaker 3: record to run And what I've urged the President repeatedly 1257 01:05:20,200 --> 01:05:23,240 Speaker 3: is we need to focus on economic success, on bettering 1258 01:05:23,280 --> 01:05:24,080 Speaker 3: people's lives. 1259 01:05:24,440 --> 01:05:26,440 Speaker 8: That's a record to run on and win in November. 1260 01:05:26,560 --> 01:05:27,840 Speaker 8: I hope and believe that's what we're going to do. 1261 01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:29,520 Speaker 1: I'd be a miss if I didn't mention it. School 1262 01:05:29,560 --> 01:05:30,840 Speaker 1: choice week also, you brought that up. 1263 01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:32,800 Speaker 8: A naturally school choice it is, And. 1264 01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:37,280 Speaker 3: Those two provisions, the Trump Account and school choice are 1265 01:05:37,360 --> 01:05:40,320 Speaker 3: hands down the most consequential element of the entire working 1266 01:05:40,400 --> 01:05:43,640 Speaker 3: families tax cut. I think ten twenty thirty years from now, 1267 01:05:43,680 --> 01:05:45,720 Speaker 3: we'll look back at those two provisions and say they 1268 01:05:45,840 --> 01:05:48,760 Speaker 3: change this country and millions of kids in America are 1269 01:05:48,800 --> 01:05:49,680 Speaker 3: better off because. 1270 01:05:49,880 --> 01:05:51,880 Speaker 1: Senator Cruz good to spend some time with.

The celebrity 1403 01:12:50,120 --> 01:12:55,880 Speaker 1: emoting is what's got many people feeling dispirited, like they're 1404 01:12:55,920 --> 01:12:57,880 Speaker 1: alone when you start to see I don't know, I 1405 01:12:57,880 --> 01:13:01,679 Speaker 1: saw Molly Ringwald and of course Bruce Springsteen's already written 1406 01:13:01,680 --> 01:13:05,800 Speaker 1: a song about it. The celebrity culture still, as much 1407 01:13:05,840 --> 01:13:07,240 Speaker 1: as I know, we like to kind of roll our 1408 01:13:07,280 --> 01:13:10,920 Speaker 1: eyes at them. They have all decided in uniformity. Now 1409 01:13:10,960 --> 01:13:14,680 Speaker 1: they must make a social media post to speak to 1410 01:13:14,720 --> 01:13:17,799 Speaker 1: how concerned they are. Breaking bad.

You know, 1414 01:13:28,160 --> 01:13:32,519 Speaker 21: some very rich, old white men are exerting their power 1415 01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:38,760 Speaker 21: to suppress our own people, thus creating a feeling of 1416 01:13:38,960 --> 01:13:43,799 Speaker 21: civil war in the streets, preparing the hate, the haters 1417 01:13:43,840 --> 01:13:46,599 Speaker 21: to hate, teaching them how to shoot. They're not even 1418 01:13:46,680 --> 01:13:49,720 Speaker 21: trained right to kill. This is all a preparation for 1419 01:13:49,800 --> 01:13:55,599 Speaker 21: a very insidious problem that's happening in our world. And 1420 01:13:55,680 --> 01:14:00,120 Speaker 21: for me, I have to speak out that we will 1421 01:14:00,160 --> 01:14:03,679 Speaker 21: not be iced out.

It's time for it, and 1428 01:14:23,880 --> 01:14:26,360 Speaker 21: they don't even know that's what they're starting. But we 1429 01:14:26,479 --> 01:14:27,320 Speaker 21: have to be strong. 1430 01:14:27,200 --> 01:14:29,880 Speaker 1: Enough to all Right now, do you think that guy 1431 01:14:30,080 --> 01:14:32,479 Speaker 1: is going to lead any sort of revolution?

But they've got the virtue signal, and 1451 01:15:26,560 --> 01:15:28,800 Speaker 1: so they use the media to virtue signal. And then 1452 01:15:28,840 --> 01:15:31,760 Speaker 1: the consumer at home who listens to that bilge and 1453 01:15:31,800 --> 01:15:34,799 Speaker 1: believes it, they're the ones that take to the street 1454 01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:38,360 Speaker 1: and cause the chaos and mayhemon get themselves killed the celebrity, 1455 01:15:39,240 --> 01:15:42,640 Speaker 1: no harm, no foul.

Absolutely, not 1479 01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:04,040 Speaker 16: compare anyone, anyone to the Nazis. Don't use that kind 1480 01:17:04,080 --> 01:17:08,280 Speaker 16: of rhetoric. You know, that could incite violence. And now 1481 01:17:08,400 --> 01:17:11,200 Speaker 16: that's I strongly reject that and condemn that kind of 1482 01:17:11,240 --> 01:17:14,000 Speaker 16: language and the strongest terms. You know, members of the 1483 01:17:14,040 --> 01:17:17,360 Speaker 16: ICE are not Nazis. I don't compare anyone to Gestapo 1484 01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:19,680 Speaker 16: and those things. You know, this is one of the 1485 01:17:19,680 --> 01:17:21,880 Speaker 16: reasons why I think we should stand down in what's 1486 01:17:21,880 --> 01:17:25,320 Speaker 16: happening in Minneapolis. You know, we all have to reduce 1487 01:17:25,360 --> 01:17:28,400 Speaker 16: the temperature, we have to turn it down. And using 1488 01:17:28,439 --> 01:17:31,479 Speaker 16: that kinds of rhetoric, you know, again, I can't ever 1489 01:17:31,520 --> 01:17:35,160 Speaker 16: support that. And I have a basic rule in politics, 1490 01:17:35,520 --> 01:17:37,879 Speaker 16: don't compare anyone to Nazis. 1491 01:17:37,920 --> 01:17:38,439 Speaker 14: I don't care. 1492 01:17:39,360 --> 01:17:42,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, the Holocaust Museum, by the way, told Tim Walls 1493 01:17:43,080 --> 01:17:45,000 Speaker 1: never to do that again with the An Frank stuff. 1494 01:17:45,720 --> 01:17:48,000 Speaker 1: We're monitoring the Tom Holman presser. When it happens, we'll 1495 01:17:48,040 --> 01:17:51,760 Speaker 1: jump in back live here on the Salem News Channel 1496 01:17:51,760 --> 01:17:55,080 Speaker 1: and the Salem Radio Network.

We're going to jump right in 1499 01:18:01,520 --> 01:18:03,080 Speaker 1: as it just gets underway. 1500 01:18:03,240 --> 01:18:08,719 Speaker 14: Wendy to regain law and order in the city below 1501 01:18:08,800 --> 01:18:10,439 Speaker 14: by may and work. 1502 01:18:10,360 --> 01:18:16,240 Speaker 10: Together to remove threats from the community. During the past administration, 1503 01:18:16,760 --> 01:18:21,040 Speaker 10: well I remember more than ten million illegal aliens entered 1504 01:18:21,080 --> 01:18:25,519 Speaker 10: this nation. Many were national security threats, public safety threats. 1505 01:18:26,160 --> 01:18:30,000 Speaker 10: We can't remember where two million, two million none god 1506 01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:34,880 Speaker 10: aways two million people he paid more to get away. 1507 01:18:35,320 --> 01:18:40,679 Speaker 10: Why that's just scared to hell out everybody. President Trump 1508 01:18:40,720 --> 01:18:44,559 Speaker 10: promised American people, including the residence of Minnesota, that he 1509 01:18:44,600 --> 01:18:48,400 Speaker 10: would work to ensure our communities are safe. And with that, 1510 01:18:48,840 --> 01:18:53,360 Speaker 10: this administration has absolutely focused on identicifying, removal aliens that 1511 01:18:53,479 --> 01:18:57,160 Speaker 10: posts a public safety threat and national security threats. And 1512 01:18:57,200 --> 01:19:01,280 Speaker 10: the numbers prove it. That data proves. In the past 1513 01:19:01,280 --> 01:19:05,080 Speaker 10: few days, I met with Governor Waltz, turned Jheral Ellison, 1514 01:19:05,840 --> 01:19:11,120 Speaker 10: Mayor Fry, numerous police chiefs and sheriffs, and I have 1515 01:19:11,240 --> 01:19:15,280 Speaker 10: more to meet. The laws would be continue the dialogue 1516 01:19:15,800 --> 01:19:21,320 Speaker 10: with business and religious leaders in partnership in Minnesota, your communities. 1517 01:19:21,320 --> 01:19:22,760 Speaker 10: I'll be meeting with them too cause I want to 1518 01:19:22,760 --> 01:19:25,519 Speaker 10: hear what they have to say. 1519 01:19:26,439 --> 01:19:31,400 Speaker 14: In my meetings with folks so far and was ported 1520 01:19:31,479 --> 01:19:32,200 Speaker 14: the Governor and the. 1521 01:19:32,160 --> 01:19:38,080 Speaker 10: Ag the mayor Fry. We didn't agree on everything. I 1522 01:19:38,120 --> 01:19:41,519 Speaker 10: didn't expect to agree on anything. I've heard many people 1523 01:19:41,560 --> 01:19:44,400 Speaker 10: want to know why we're talking to people who they 1524 01:19:44,400 --> 01:19:48,280 Speaker 10: don't consider friends and administration. Bottom line is, you can't 1525 01:19:48,320 --> 01:19:54,040 Speaker 10: fix problems if you don't have discussions. I didn't come 1526 01:19:54,040 --> 01:19:58,439 Speaker 10: to Minnesota for phono ops or headlines you haven't seen me. 1527 01:19:59,080 --> 01:20:02,000 Speaker 14: I came here to seek and that's what we're going 1528 01:20:02,080 --> 01:20:02,320 Speaker 14: to do. 1529 01:20:02,760 --> 01:20:03,040 Speaker 4: And we. 1530 01:20:04,800 --> 01:20:08,160 Speaker 10: Come a long wait and we got some good wins 1531 01:20:08,200 --> 01:20:11,040 Speaker 10: for the people in Minnesota, I think, and for the 1532 01:20:11,040 --> 01:20:15,280 Speaker 10: administration and for the safety and security of this city. 1533 01:20:16,080 --> 01:20:19,559 Speaker 10: One thing we did agree on, though everybody had talked, 1534 01:20:19,560 --> 01:20:23,040 Speaker 10: they agreed on was the community safety's paramount. 1535 01:20:24,720 --> 01:20:25,479 Speaker 14: One thing we all. 1536 01:20:25,439 --> 01:20:30,320 Speaker 10: Agreed on was US Immigration Customer Forcements, a legitimate law 1537 01:20:30,880 --> 01:20:33,960 Speaker 10: agency as a duty to enforce the laws and acted 1538 01:20:34,000 --> 01:20:37,840 Speaker 10: by Congress and keep this community safe. 1539 01:20:39,680 --> 01:20:41,800 Speaker 14: Life. I've said many times for. 1540 01:20:41,840 --> 01:20:46,920 Speaker 10: The last several years, even before this administration, jurisdictions have 1541 01:20:47,000 --> 01:20:51,839 Speaker 10: refused to cooperate with federal immigration Tories are sanf schorte 1542 01:20:51,880 --> 01:20:56,840 Speaker 10: for criminals. Sanctuard cities are sane choice for criminals and 1543 01:20:57,040 --> 01:21:03,040 Speaker 10: endangers the residence of the community. To be clear, we 1544 01:21:03,160 --> 01:21:09,479 Speaker 10: did not agree with Minnesota state local officials that they 1545 01:21:09,520 --> 01:21:10,480 Speaker 10: would be involved. 1546 01:21:10,160 --> 01:21:11,240 Speaker 14: In immigration enforcement. 1547 01:21:11,360 --> 01:21:14,439 Speaker 10: I didn't ask them to be immigration officers. I'm asking 1548 01:21:14,520 --> 01:21:16,439 Speaker 10: him the cops working with the cops. I whope estate 1549 01:21:16,520 --> 01:21:22,760 Speaker 10: criminal amians up the street. What we did agree upon 1550 01:21:25,000 --> 01:21:27,280 Speaker 10: is not to release public safety rest back in the 1551 01:21:27,320 --> 01:21:30,040 Speaker 10: community and they could be lawly transferred ized. 1552 01:21:30,880 --> 01:21:32,000 Speaker 14: I'll speak more about that. 1553 01:21:34,200 --> 01:21:37,599 Speaker 10: I will highlight that the Minnesota State prison system under 1554 01:21:37,640 --> 01:21:38,480 Speaker 10: the Department. 1555 01:21:38,120 --> 01:21:41,720 Speaker 14: Of Corrections have been honoring RICE detainers. 1556 01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:46,320 Speaker 10: And we appreciate that important collaboration, and we're both expand 1557 01:21:46,400 --> 01:21:53,400 Speaker 10: upon that that decision has made Minnesota safer, not only 1558 01:21:53,439 --> 01:21:56,839 Speaker 10: for residence of Minnesota, but the minimum of law enforcement, 1559 01:21:57,240 --> 01:22:00,840 Speaker 10: not just s ICE, all law enforcement. Rather than arrest 1560 01:22:00,880 --> 01:22:04,599 Speaker 10: in the same public safety threat, significant public safety threat 1561 01:22:04,680 --> 01:22:08,920 Speaker 10: over and over again, they agree to work with us 1562 01:22:09,080 --> 01:22:15,080 Speaker 10: to identify as people in rey movement. I'm also policed 1563 01:22:15,080 --> 01:22:19,040 Speaker 10: to announce I had a very good meeting with Attorney 1564 01:22:19,160 --> 01:22:24,720 Speaker 10: General Attorney General Housing and he has clarified for me 1565 01:22:25,880 --> 01:22:30,559 Speaker 10: at County jails mate oblify ICE of the release dates 1566 01:22:30,560 --> 01:22:34,120 Speaker 10: of criminal public safety risks so ICE can take customer 1567 01:22:36,360 --> 01:22:40,320 Speaker 10: upon the release from the jail, and let me tell 1568 01:22:40,320 --> 01:22:44,960 Speaker 10: you why that's important. I know people are not concerned 1569 01:22:44,960 --> 01:22:48,559 Speaker 10: about the man power has been set in law enforcement manpower. Look, 1570 01:22:48,640 --> 01:22:50,560 Speaker 10: I've said this many times before. I've said for the 1571 01:22:50,640 --> 01:22:57,400 Speaker 10: last several years, give us access to the illegal and 1572 01:22:57,560 --> 01:23:00,599 Speaker 10: in public safety threat and the safety and security jail. 1573 01:23:01,479 --> 01:23:02,400 Speaker 14: It's common sense. 1574 01:23:02,760 --> 01:23:06,400 Speaker 10: Is safer for the community, is safer for the agent, 1575 01:23:07,160 --> 01:23:08,519 Speaker 10: and they're safer for the alien. 1576 01:23:08,720 --> 01:23:14,080 Speaker 1: Okay, all right, we're covering Tom Holman speaking live in Minneapolis. 1577 01:23:14,120 --> 01:23:15,640 Speaker 1: We do have to take a quick break here, but 1578 01:23:15,680 --> 01:23:17,920 Speaker 1: we'll recap what he said thus far if you're just 1579 01:23:18,000 --> 01:23:20,760 Speaker 1: jumping in, and we'll get back to it in just 1580 01:23:20,800 --> 01:23:25,600 Speaker 1: a moment.

I was the first life director, 1599 01:24:39,439 --> 01:24:41,599 Speaker 10: came up through the ranks. I spent over forty years 1600 01:24:41,600 --> 01:24:45,360 Speaker 10: doing this. These men and women that carry that badge 1601 01:24:45,400 --> 01:24:49,080 Speaker 10: and gun are American patriots. They put themselves on the 1602 01:24:49,120 --> 01:24:52,600 Speaker 10: line for this nation every day. But I want you 1603 01:24:52,640 --> 01:24:56,960 Speaker 10: to remember, they don't hang their badge, they don't hang 1604 01:24:57,000 --> 01:24:58,800 Speaker 10: their heart on how cavery day they come to work, 1605 01:25:00,080 --> 01:25:04,360 Speaker 10: mothers and fathers too, their sons and daughters too. If 1606 01:25:04,360 --> 01:25:06,800 Speaker 10: they've seen a fraction of the tragedies I see in 1607 01:25:06,840 --> 01:25:10,160 Speaker 10: my career, they take a lot of damage home to 1608 01:25:10,360 --> 01:25:13,599 Speaker 10: every day the things they've seen, especially on the board 1609 01:25:13,680 --> 01:25:19,840 Speaker 10: with border tras its people drowning the river, women being 1610 01:25:19,880 --> 01:25:24,479 Speaker 10: raped by criminal cartels. Given CPR to a baby that 1611 01:25:24,640 --> 01:25:27,080 Speaker 10: was thrown on the river by the cartels because borts 1612 01:25:27,320 --> 01:25:29,559 Speaker 10: came too close. So let's throw the baby in the river. 1613 01:25:29,560 --> 01:25:31,519 Speaker 10: That when the border toe was top straight on. That's 1614 01:25:31,520 --> 01:25:33,840 Speaker 10: why I can get away. These men and women see 1615 01:25:33,880 --> 01:25:37,320 Speaker 10: some terrible things. I want to remember their mothers and fathers. 1616 01:25:37,360 --> 01:25:37,559 Speaker 14: Too. 1617 01:25:37,960 --> 01:25:41,519 Speaker 10: Many are members of the community, y'all blessed every one 1618 01:25:41,560 --> 01:25:46,040 Speaker 10: of them. The housefol rhetic and dangerous threats and hate 1619 01:25:46,120 --> 01:25:49,720 Speaker 10: must stop, and we all breeding to that all they 1620 01:25:49,800 --> 01:25:52,599 Speaker 10: right man to take. We got to stop the rhetoric, 1621 01:25:52,680 --> 01:25:55,120 Speaker 10: the hateful Reddic that has caused an increase in the 1622 01:25:55,200 --> 01:25:58,680 Speaker 10: cults that it calls because of that ath and sent 1623 01:25:58,800 --> 01:26:01,439 Speaker 10: security teams out with the rest teams, which serves the 1624 01:26:01,520 --> 01:26:04,679 Speaker 10: same additional resources because of the Rehtic, because of the threats, 1625 01:26:04,680 --> 01:26:08,600 Speaker 10: because of the assaults. Again, with the agreements we've achieved 1626 01:26:08,760 --> 01:26:11,719 Speaker 10: in follow throughs, the agreements with the Reddic dropping down, 1627 01:26:12,080 --> 01:26:16,640 Speaker 10: that allows us to pull more rages out once we 1628 01:26:16,720 --> 01:26:26,519 Speaker 10: feel the environment's safer. I begged for the last two 1629 01:26:26,560 --> 01:26:31,559 Speaker 10: months on TV for the Redics to stop. I said 1630 01:26:31,560 --> 01:26:33,880 Speaker 10: in March, if the Reddic didn't stop. There's going to 1631 01:26:33,920 --> 01:26:35,120 Speaker 10: be bloodshed. 1632 01:26:36,200 --> 01:26:41,200 Speaker 14: And their hats I wish I wasn't right. 1633 01:26:44,880 --> 01:26:51,439 Speaker 10: I don't see anybody die, officers, not members of the community. 1634 01:26:52,080 --> 01:26:59,400 Speaker 10: And now the targets of our operations for the people 1635 01:26:59,400 --> 01:27:03,000 Speaker 10: out there, what I actually doing.

The same laws have 1639 01:27:11,160 --> 01:27:14,840 Speaker 10: been on the books for the last six presidents I 1640 01:27:14,920 --> 01:27:19,639 Speaker 10: worked for. I've started with the President Reagan and ending 1641 01:27:19,720 --> 01:27:24,160 Speaker 10: with the President Trump.

And finally, when would you 1706 01:31:26,280 --> 01:31:29,839 Speaker 2: consider that those objectives will be achieved and this operation 1707 01:31:30,040 --> 01:31:33,200 Speaker 2: will end in terms of agents on the ground, in 1708 01:31:33,280 --> 01:31:33,960 Speaker 2: terms of who. 1709 01:31:33,920 --> 01:31:35,160 Speaker 14: You are targeting for all rests. 1710 01:31:35,960 --> 01:31:43,040 Speaker 10: The withdrawal of law enforcement resources here is dependent upon cooperation. 1711 01:31:43,160 --> 01:31:45,000 Speaker 10: Like I said, one h and rest, one bad guy, 1712 01:31:45,280 --> 01:31:47,360 Speaker 10: bad guy in jail, the plus age and Scienti Street. 1713 01:31:47,960 --> 01:31:50,639 Speaker 10: We have some agreements. We got more to talk about 1714 01:31:50,640 --> 01:31:54,080 Speaker 10: how we're going to implement this agreements. But as we 1715 01:31:54,160 --> 01:31:59,120 Speaker 10: see that cooperation happen, then the redeployment will happen. Look, 1716 01:31:59,160 --> 01:32:03,439 Speaker 10: targeting enforcement operations should happen across the nation. That's what 1717 01:32:03,520 --> 01:32:08,080 Speaker 10: we've done for decades. And with target enforcement operations, I've 1718 01:32:08,080 --> 01:32:12,320 Speaker 10: done them many maym It just makes us safer for everybody. 1719 01:32:12,600 --> 01:32:13,080 Speaker 14: Well, we know. 1720 01:32:13,080 --> 01:32:15,599 Speaker 10: Exactly what we're looking for. What is this criminal history, 1721 01:32:15,640 --> 01:32:21,080 Speaker 10: what is this immigration history? Where you live is an 1722 01:32:21,080 --> 01:32:26,120 Speaker 10: apartment complex versus the house has got no unknown record 1723 01:32:26,160 --> 01:32:27,120 Speaker 10: for having the weapons. 1724 01:32:27,600 --> 01:32:28,679 Speaker 14: It's safer for everybody. 1725 01:32:28,720 --> 01:32:31,360 Speaker 10: Then we know what type of resources we need to 1726 01:32:31,400 --> 01:32:35,439 Speaker 10: go and you know, it just makes us an operation cleaner, 1727 01:32:35,600 --> 01:32:41,200 Speaker 10: more efficient. Has proven that's violence. But we know exactly 1728 01:32:41,240 --> 01:32:43,759 Speaker 10: what we're getting into and we can take the necessary 1729 01:32:43,760 --> 01:32:47,400 Speaker 10: precautions to keep everybody safe. You know, so many operations 1730 01:32:47,400 --> 01:32:49,600 Speaker 10: that I've been involved in, we know there's children in 1731 01:32:49,640 --> 01:32:52,160 Speaker 10: the house based on surveillance, so we know you've got 1732 01:32:52,200 --> 01:32:54,280 Speaker 10: to be a little bit different when you go into 1733 01:32:54,280 --> 01:32:54,959 Speaker 10: that house school. 1734 01:32:54,720 --> 01:32:55,719 Speaker 14: It's going to be children present. 1735 01:32:55,800 --> 01:33:00,120 Speaker 10: So target enforcement operations way we've always done. 1736 01:33:00,280 --> 01:33:04,000 Speaker 14: I think we got away from over and we're all home. 1737 01:33:04,000 --> 01:33:07,000 Speaker 14: Actually we do tart enforcement offerations. And look, and I'll 1738 01:33:07,000 --> 01:33:10,280 Speaker 14: say it again now, so now. 1739 01:33:10,560 --> 01:33:13,519 Speaker 1: We're gonna we're gonna jump out of this because now 1740 01:33:13,800 --> 01:33:17,640 Speaker 1: we've gotten to the point where press will start filibustering 1741 01:33:17,800 --> 01:33:22,360 Speaker 1: and editorializing. And while that's entertaining, I don't particularly want 1742 01:33:22,400 --> 01:33:24,799 Speaker 1: to listen to a bunch of editorializing from left wing press. 1743 01:33:25,600 --> 01:33:27,680 Speaker 1: Although Tom Holman can certainly handle them. I wanted to 1744 01:33:27,720 --> 01:33:30,840 Speaker 1: kind of quickly go over what Tom Holman said. He 1745 01:33:30,880 --> 01:33:33,519 Speaker 1: said he met with Minnesota officials. We agreed that ICE 1746 01:33:33,600 --> 01:33:37,559 Speaker 1: is a legitimate agency. That's what he said. Walls Ellison 1747 01:33:38,280 --> 01:33:41,720 Speaker 1: fry All agreed ICE is a legitimate agency. They have 1748 01:33:41,760 --> 01:33:45,200 Speaker 1: a duty to uphold congressional law. He said that there 1749 01:33:45,200 --> 01:33:50,559 Speaker 1: was an agreement that they would not release criminals, but 1750 01:33:50,840 --> 01:33:55,040 Speaker 1: work with ICE on detaining those who are already being 1751 01:33:55,040 --> 01:33:57,799 Speaker 1: held to hand over to ICE instead of releasing them. 1752 01:33:58,360 --> 01:34:01,120 Speaker 1: County jails would work with ICE. He said he was promised, 1753 01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:05,720 Speaker 1: so we'll see. There's still a sanctuary city technically, but 1754 01:34:05,760 --> 01:34:09,880 Speaker 1: he said that those that are in detention will continue 1755 01:34:09,880 --> 01:34:13,200 Speaker 1: to be held in detention, and that that's a promise 1756 01:34:13,240 --> 01:34:16,479 Speaker 1: that's been made by the Attorney general and the governor there. 1757 01:34:16,520 --> 01:34:19,759 Speaker 1: We'll see for what that's worth. Tom Holman called ICE 1758 01:34:20,120 --> 01:34:24,240 Speaker 1: agents American patriots. He said, God bless them. They are 1759 01:34:24,280 --> 01:34:26,200 Speaker 1: moms and they air dads too, and they have seen 1760 01:34:27,479 --> 01:34:32,360 Speaker 1: unbelievable things from drownings to rapes and other awful things 1761 01:34:32,400 --> 01:34:34,720 Speaker 1: that they take home with them every night. They're patriots 1762 01:34:34,720 --> 01:34:37,320 Speaker 1: and they've seen things that no one should see, but 1763 01:34:37,360 --> 01:34:40,600 Speaker 1: they're keeping the streets in the country safer. ICE and 1764 01:34:40,640 --> 01:34:44,719 Speaker 1: CPB officers will continue to uphold the standards of conduct 1765 01:34:44,720 --> 01:34:47,960 Speaker 1: that they're held to. Holman said, I have warned of 1766 01:34:47,960 --> 01:34:52,240 Speaker 1: the hateful rhetoric toward these people for months, and I said, 1767 01:34:52,240 --> 01:34:55,080 Speaker 1: if it doesn't stop, bloodshed would happen. And sadly I 1768 01:34:55,200 --> 01:34:58,280 Speaker 1: was right. He said, if you want to protest what 1769 01:34:58,360 --> 01:35:00,840 Speaker 1: ICE is doing, they're upholding agression law that I have 1770 01:35:00,880 --> 01:35:05,080 Speaker 1: been enforcing since Ronald Reagan through President Trump. These are 1771 01:35:05,080 --> 01:35:09,000 Speaker 1: congressional laws, not presidential laws. Not Minnesota laws, their congressional laws. 1772 01:35:09,040 --> 01:35:10,280 Speaker 1: You want to take it up with somebody, take it 1773 01:35:10,360 --> 01:35:12,519 Speaker 1: up with Congress, but there will be zero tolerance for 1774 01:35:12,560 --> 01:35:15,439 Speaker 1: the hostility toward them in the street. That's Tom Holman 1775 01:35:15,520 --> 01:35:20,320 Speaker 1: in Minneapolis this morning.

Here is Marco Rubio and 1809 01:37:05,439 --> 01:37:08,599 Speaker 1: Senator Tammy Duckworth of Illinois in Cut ninety eight. Listen 1810 01:37:08,640 --> 01:37:08,920 Speaker 1: to this. 1811 01:37:09,880 --> 01:37:12,080 Speaker 23: Anyone who believes that gangs that flood our country with 1812 01:37:12,640 --> 01:37:15,160 Speaker 23: or cocaine are not threats to the United States is 1813 01:37:15,200 --> 01:37:17,120 Speaker 23: not living in reality and certainly does not reflect the 1814 01:37:17,160 --> 01:37:18,280 Speaker 23: opinion of most Americans. 1815 01:37:18,320 --> 01:37:21,200 Speaker 24: The Trump administration has acknowledged that the vast majority of 1816 01:37:21,200 --> 01:37:23,559 Speaker 24: the men that rounded up and deported to torture under 1817 01:37:23,600 --> 01:37:28,280 Speaker 24: this law had no criminal records whatsoever. In dependent over 1818 01:37:28,360 --> 01:37:29,760 Speaker 24: seventy five percent who we. 1819 01:37:29,800 --> 01:37:32,920 Speaker 23: Torture, we haven't tortured anybody. We've arrested people that are 1820 01:37:32,920 --> 01:37:34,840 Speaker 23: members of gangs, and we've deported why. 1821 01:37:34,800 --> 01:37:37,000 Speaker 24: Bank menations that found that many of the men were 1822 01:37:37,000 --> 01:37:39,800 Speaker 24: here legally. If the administration is willing to lie, but 1823 01:37:39,880 --> 01:37:43,000 Speaker 24: who it's targeting under this law. What protections do toty 1824 01:37:43,040 --> 01:37:46,080 Speaker 24: innocent people have against abuse? Again, I want to ask you, 1825 01:37:47,760 --> 01:37:50,200 Speaker 24: will you advise the president to rescind his invocation of 1826 01:37:50,240 --> 01:37:52,360 Speaker 24: the wartime alien And no, of course not. 1827 01:37:52,439 --> 01:37:53,800 Speaker 23: I mean, these are people that are threats of the 1828 01:37:53,840 --> 01:37:56,280 Speaker 23: national security of the United States. But I've described this 1829 01:37:56,479 --> 01:37:58,800 Speaker 23: and hearings in the past, including are you saying that 1830 01:37:58,840 --> 01:37:59,479 Speaker 23: we're at war? 1831 01:37:59,680 --> 01:38:01,120 Speaker 1: We are when it comes. 1832 01:38:01,000 --> 01:38:03,880 Speaker 23: To narco trafficking groups and criminal gangs that are targeting 1833 01:38:03,920 --> 01:38:06,400 Speaker 23: the United States for criminal state of war. There's no 1834 01:38:06,439 --> 01:38:08,200 Speaker 23: doubt about the fact that we're fronting them in. 1835 01:38:08,200 --> 01:38:10,920 Speaker 5: A war like and do they geneva convert. 1836 01:38:10,960 --> 01:38:13,120 Speaker 23: They're waging war against us and their enemy combatants as 1837 01:38:13,160 --> 01:38:15,040 Speaker 23: a result of it. 1838 01:38:15,040 --> 01:38:19,280 Speaker 1: It's like batting practice, he continued, number ninety nine on Venezuela. 1839 01:38:20,720 --> 01:38:23,679 Speaker 23: Now remind everybody on Friday will mark the four weeks 1840 01:38:23,680 --> 01:38:25,680 Speaker 23: since this happened. I get it, we all want like 1841 01:38:25,720 --> 01:38:28,479 Speaker 23: something immediately, but this is not a frozen dinner. You 1842 01:38:28,520 --> 01:38:30,240 Speaker 23: put in a microwaven in two and a half minutes, 1843 01:38:30,280 --> 01:38:32,719 Speaker 23: it comes out ready to eat. And these are complex things, 1844 01:38:32,760 --> 01:38:35,040 Speaker 23: and we've seen this play out. I use the example 1845 01:38:35,040 --> 01:38:37,600 Speaker 23: of Paraguay in Spain, there are others where there's a 1846 01:38:37,680 --> 01:38:40,160 Speaker 23: transition from autocracy to democracy. 1847 01:38:40,200 --> 01:38:40,920 Speaker 5: It's not linear. 1848 01:38:41,520 --> 01:38:44,080 Speaker 23: It's in some cases are ups and downs along the way, 1849 01:38:44,160 --> 01:38:47,200 Speaker 23: but it's trending in the right direction so far. With 1850 01:38:47,320 --> 01:38:50,120 Speaker 23: the recognition that, you know, more work needs to be done. 1851 01:38:51,439 --> 01:38:55,120 Speaker 1: And Rubio reminding Democrats we do have enemies. They are 1852 01:38:55,240 --> 01:38:57,920 Speaker 1: very real, number one, but they're not here, by the 1853 01:38:57,920 --> 01:39:00,960 Speaker 1: way law enforcement, they're overseas Click one. 1854 01:39:01,040 --> 01:39:02,760 Speaker 23: Our anticipation is that we're going to be able to 1855 01:39:02,760 --> 01:39:05,400 Speaker 23: continue to work cooperatively with them because it's in their interest. 1856 01:39:05,479 --> 01:39:07,639 Speaker 23: In hours, but I will point out to this, after 1857 01:39:07,680 --> 01:39:10,720 Speaker 23: this operation happened, look at the people who criticized it. 1858 01:39:11,080 --> 01:39:16,400 Speaker 23: I mean there were others, China, Russia, Iran, Hamas. These 1859 01:39:16,400 --> 01:39:18,439 Speaker 23: are the people that were upset about this strike and 1860 01:39:18,600 --> 01:39:21,800 Speaker 23: this raid and what we did. And I can tell 1861 01:39:21,840 --> 01:39:24,439 Speaker 23: you that in many countries in the Western hemisphere there 1862 01:39:24,479 --> 01:39:26,719 Speaker 23: was great pleasure in the fact that Maduro was removed 1863 01:39:26,960 --> 01:39:29,000 Speaker 23: and that it didn't involve in all that war and innovation. 1864 01:39:31,240 --> 01:39:35,840 Speaker 1: So that's Marco Rubio absolutely spectacular. Yesterday that was going 1865 01:39:35,840 --> 01:39:37,800 Speaker 1: on across town in DC while we were at the 1866 01:39:37,840 --> 01:39:43,960 Speaker 1: Trump Bonds event. ICE's participation in the winter Olympics, interestingly 1867 01:39:44,320 --> 01:39:49,040 Speaker 1: security operations, sparking backlash in Italy. Just the news confirmation 1868 01:39:49,120 --> 01:39:52,240 Speaker 1: that ICE agents will be part of security opers in 1869 01:39:52,439 --> 01:39:55,200 Speaker 1: the Winter Olympics in Italy has triggered a political backlash 1870 01:39:55,240 --> 01:39:58,679 Speaker 1: in the host country, with mayors, opposition leaders, and civil 1871 01:39:58,760 --> 01:40:01,920 Speaker 1: rights advocates questioning why one of America's most embattled law 1872 01:40:02,000 --> 01:40:06,000 Speaker 1: enforcement agencies will participate in security operations on Italian soil. 1873 01:40:06,400 --> 01:40:09,840 Speaker 1: So trust me and you know this. There is a 1874 01:40:09,880 --> 01:40:13,879 Speaker 1: domestic and international effort to undermine our law enforcement agency 1875 01:40:13,920 --> 01:40:16,880 Speaker 1: known as ICE. Cracking down on borders, cracking down on 1876 01:40:16,920 --> 01:40:19,080 Speaker 1: the invasion in this country, cracking down on the criminal 1877 01:40:19,120 --> 01:40:21,840 Speaker 1: element of illegal aliens in this country has now become 1878 01:40:21,840 --> 01:40:26,559 Speaker 1: an international effort in coordination with Hollywood and the big 1879 01:40:26,600 --> 01:40:29,120 Speaker 1: money of a guy like George Soros. It is now 1880 01:40:29,479 --> 01:40:35,040 Speaker 1: an international attempt along with soros DA's There is an 1881 01:40:35,040 --> 01:40:39,640 Speaker 1: insidious attempt to undermine the sovereignty of this country and 1882 01:40:39,760 --> 01:40:44,439 Speaker 1: federal law enforcement. Duly elected presidents, duly elected members of 1883 01:40:44,479 --> 01:40:47,160 Speaker 1: Congress have passed laws and signed into law laws of 1884 01:40:47,200 --> 01:40:50,760 Speaker 1: the land that secure our border. Tom Holman said today 1885 01:40:50,760 --> 01:40:53,679 Speaker 1: in the press conference, he is there to enforce the laws. 1886 01:40:53,720 --> 01:40:56,400 Speaker 1: If you don't like them, lobby Congress to change them, 1887 01:40:57,120 --> 01:40:59,760 Speaker 1: but targeting these men and women who have families, who 1888 01:40:59,760 --> 01:41:02,840 Speaker 1: are mothers and fathers too, targeting them and making them 1889 01:41:02,880 --> 01:41:05,479 Speaker 1: out to be villains for simply upholding the law of 1890 01:41:05,520 --> 01:41:08,840 Speaker 1: our duly elected officials. It's not going to be tolerated, 1891 01:41:09,600 --> 01:41:11,559 Speaker 1: and he's going to continue to do the work, and 1892 01:41:11,640 --> 01:41:13,599 Speaker 1: good for him. I feel very very good about Holman 1893 01:41:13,680 --> 01:41:19,320 Speaker 1: being there, O'Leary that conversation and Eric Schmidt tomorrow.
