Today, those of you 74 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,079 Speaker 5: watching on the Salem News Channel, We're in our DC 75 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 5: studios because right after today's show, we've been invited to 76 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 5: Capitol Hill to talk with Congressional Republicans in advance of 77 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 5: tonight's big State of the Union address. Somebody asked me 78 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,519 Speaker 5: before the show started, Hey, did you hear the women, 79 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 5: the gold medal winning women of the United States are 80 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 5: not hockey team. They are not going to attend. They've 81 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 5: been invited. They said, they have a schedule conflict. Whatever 82 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 5: does it bother you? Ed doesn't bother me. That stuff 83 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 5: just doesn't exercise me. I mean, I guess you know, 84 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 5: some people would say, you know, when the President of 85 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 5: the United States invite you to something like that, you 86 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 5: go out of respect to the office or whatever. But 87 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 5: if it were to be completely honest with you, I've 88 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 5: said this before, that pretend president that we had for 89 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 5: four years, I would have a very difficult time we 90 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 5: had this conversation. I would just have a very difficult 91 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 5: time legitimizing the men. 92 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 2: I don't. 93 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 5: I find that Barack Obama and that man were two 94 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 5: of the most destructive people in American history, destructive and divisive, 95 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 5: and it would be difficult for me to attend anything 96 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 5: and smile as though I. 97 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 2: Endorse what they did. 98 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 5: So I guess from the rights or from the left's perspective, 99 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 5: I understand it. I don't agree with them, obviously, but 100 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 5: I understand the position. If that's their position, which they 101 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 5: didn't take. They just said, we have a schedule conflict. 102 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 5: So I read that to mean organizationally, they've decided they 103 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 5: don't care for the president because you don't. You don't 104 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 5: have a schedule conflict. I mean, if the president invites 105 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 5: you to the State of the Union, you go, no 106 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 5: matter what you've got scheduled, right short of the death 107 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 5: of a family member. 108 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 9: Sure, but I don't take this. 109 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 10: I'm glad you kind of see it this way, like, 110 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 10: I don't take this as like a shot or anything. 111 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 10: Maybe internally as a team they're split, and it's just like, 112 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 10: you know what, let's not make a scene. 113 00:04:59,000 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, just like you. 114 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 9: Guys, I don't want to go. Fine, then then then 115 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 9: let's we'll just put this, We'll just. 116 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 10: Politely respond that we have a scheduling conflict, and that'll 117 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:06,280 Speaker 10: be it. 118 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 5: That's the way to handle it. Because if you've got 119 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 5: members of the team that don't go, then what does 120 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 5: the story become, not that they just won gold, but 121 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 5: that they were members of the team. 122 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 2: That were missing. 123 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 5: And then you start surveying the members of the team 124 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 5: that were missing versus the members of the team that 125 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 5: showed up, and then. 126 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 2: What does that do? 127 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 5: That causes a schism on the team, which they don't want, 128 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 5: and so diplomatically internally inside the team. Now I suppose 129 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 5: some would say, well, if you're the coach or the 130 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,919 Speaker 5: head of the organization, you forced them all to go, 131 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 5: how would you beat about that? 132 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 11: Ed? 133 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,039 Speaker 9: Probably not not Team USA. 134 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,919 Speaker 10: Yeah, Like it's not like it's not like Team USA 135 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,919 Speaker 10: unless they're going on tour and playing you know, the 136 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 10: different nations from around the world. Like I don't I 137 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 10: don't know that they're going to continue after this Olympic 138 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 10: run at the moment, I. 139 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 5: Don't even know how that works. Who isn't quote in charge? 140 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 5: They come from all over the country, right, I mean 141 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 5: they're not They don't like answer to one figurehead. 142 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 2: Do they team USA? I don't know. 143 00:05:56,279 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 10: I mean USA Hockey, the governing body is based in Colorado. 144 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 9: But as far as the women on this team. 145 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 10: I'm sorry, ladies, I don't know of the professional facet 146 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:08,679 Speaker 10: of hockey. 147 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 5: Well, my understanding is these Olympic teams are assembled from 148 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 5: all over the place, don't They come together to play 149 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 5: obviously in the Olympics, But short of that, they don't really. 150 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 2: Have much to do with one another. It's my understanding. 151 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,679 Speaker 5: So I don't think you can probably make them all 152 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 5: attend either as an organization. But anyway, yeah, it is 153 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 5: a distraction. It would be a distraction for everybody, so 154 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 5: so be it. The men are going, the men are 155 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 5: very excited to go, and look, the fact of the 156 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 5: matter is it's good vibes.

But I guess that's no hill for a 174 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 5: step For those people not up. 175 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 9: In Boston, they should be fine. 176 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 10: The only thing is is their governor limits them with that, 177 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 10: you know, earth moving material and snow removal and stuff 178 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 10: like that. 179 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 9: So if they got to do that all by hand, 180 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 9: I feel for it. 181 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 5: But DC, I mean, there was virtually there's a little 182 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 5: turbulence coming. It's windy today, so few all the Congress 183 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 5: people with hair pieces and wigs. It's it's dangerous out 184 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 5: there today, really windy. But other than that should be 185 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 5: good for the state of the Union tonight. No travel problems. 186 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 5: In fact, I bumped into some members of the core 187 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 5: of Congress traveling here today. That's where we're going after 188 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 5: today's show Capitol Hill, and we're going to talk to 189 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 5: some Republicans. You know, today's the day where they're rolling 190 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 5: out all of the polls yesterday and today. How to 191 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 5: spirited and upset Americans are with this president? How to 192 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 5: spirit it and bummed out and pissed off and ticked 193 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 5: it off and gloom and doom and oh, things have 194 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 5: never been worse, and the country's never been more unhappy polls. 195 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 5: Have you seen them? That's been the headlines for the 196 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 5: last twenty four to forty eight hours, conditioning you to 197 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 5: think that tonight the President of the United States is 198 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 5: going to take to the podium and he's going to 199 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 5: try to talk up an American public that is standing 200 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 5: in breadlines, desperate, upset, desolate, up against it, no hope 201 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 5: for the future, no optimism whatsoever. Which is why you know, 202 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 5: I see that the Olympics, the Winter Games, had their 203 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 5: biggest audience since twenty fourteen, and I think it's exactly right. 204 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 5: This White House always understands exactly where the American public 205 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 5: is in terms of sentiment. 206 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 2: Why do you think that is? 207 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 5: I don't have this as factual data, but I can 208 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 5: surmise why do you think it is the Winter Olympics 209 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 5: scored their highest audience rating since twenty fourteen. 210 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 10: Had any thought, I mean, honestly, the USA Canada rematch 211 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 10: for hockey, both men's and women's, to be perfectly. 212 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 9: Honest, is probably a big part of it. 213 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 10: I know people are into figure skating, and I know 214 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 10: that's a top dog viewership thing. One of the US 215 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 10: chicks won gold in that in an event that hadn't 216 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 10: been won by American since like ninety two. 217 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 5: NBC Universal, announcing Monday, the game's averaged twenty three point 218 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 5: five million viewers for live afternoon and US primetime across NBC, 219 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 5: Peacock and digital platforms. That viewership is, according to Nielsen data, 220 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 5: all fifteen full competition days, all fifteen days, folks, not 221 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 5: just the hockey games, not just this figure skating, but 222 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 5: all fifteen days of competition topped twenty million viewers in 223 00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 5: the United States. Nothing gets twenty million viewers anymore now. 224 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 5: More than two hundred and fifteen million Americans, according to Nielsen, 225 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 5: tuned into NBC Universal for what they call Legendary February, 226 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 5: a historic month where it broadcasts the Olympics, the Super Bowl, 227 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 5: and NBA All Star Game according to Nielsen data, two 228 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 5: hundred and fifteen million Americans. What does that mean to you, 229 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 5: I'll tell you what it means to me. It means 230 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,079 Speaker 5: the United States is still a country of people who 231 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 5: want to go about their day, who still love their country, 232 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 5: who want something to cheer for and rally around and 233 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 5: root for. They do not like the country being run 234 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 5: down and talk down. They are not depressed, and they 235 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 5: are not ticked off, and they are not dispirited, and 236 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 5: they are not up against it, and they are not 237 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 5: gloom and doom, and they don't think the best days 238 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 5: of the country are behind us. The fact of the 239 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 5: matter is, and you'd be forgiven if you forgot this, 240 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,440 Speaker 5: seventy seven million people voted for Donald Trump. 241 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 2: You know who you are. Now. 242 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 5: I'm not suggesting that everybody is elated with everything the 243 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 5: Trump administration has done and over the year that they've 244 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 5: been in office, But the fact of the matter is, 245 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 5: there were still seventy seven million of us that voted 246 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 5: for him. Another two hundred and fifty fifteen million Americans 247 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 5: tuned in to watch NBC and sporting events in February, 248 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 5: twenty three million watching the Olympics. Specifically that tells me 249 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 5: that there are millions and millions of Americans who want 250 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 5: something to feel great about. They want something to lay 251 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 5: down their political arms for a moment or two, take 252 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 5: a deep, collective breath, Not talk about the roiling in 253 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 5: the streets, the agitation, not talk about the visceral, vitriolic politic, 254 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 5: but rather root around the American flag. And that's what 255 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 5: I suspect tonight is going to be a celebration of 256 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 5: the United States strength. And I just thought to myself 257 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 5: walking through the airport yesterday, what is everybody so ticked 258 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 5: off about? And the answer is everybody isn't. But you're 259 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 5: being made like everybody is because the messengers that people 260 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 5: largely in control of a great deal of the mass 261 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 5: media consumption that still exists out there. And you're of 262 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 5: a certain age, you hear it. Younger people, Younger people 263 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 5: are watching alternative forms of media. 264 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 2: But it's you know, again, you'd be. 265 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 5: Forgiven if you thought everybody is just all ticked off 266 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 5: and you know, maybe not even going to tune into 267 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 5: the president because the country's lost. 268 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 2: Don't you believe it. 269 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 5: This is meant to make you feel like the country 270 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 5: has just completely backslid and nobody supports it anymore. Tonight 271 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 5: is going to be a celebration of patriotism. I suspect 272 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 5: the President is going to continue to lay out his agenda, 273 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 5: and we're going to be covering it all here on 274 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 5: the Salem News Channel, Capitol Hill Today.

That's the headline today. Democrats 297 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 5: are announcing their first slate of House candidates for Red 298 00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 5: to Blue program.

That's going to be 301 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 5: my question for them today. What exactly do you have 302 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 5: on your agenda to accomplish. I mean, I really appreciate 303 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 5: the big, beautiful bill, but you guys have been dying 304 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 5: now out on that for a while. And look, we're 305 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 5: all hopeful that we're going to see a continued booming economy. 306 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 5: We've seen the market really growing, but you know, housing 307 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 5: is still an issue. Student loan default is still a 308 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 5: big issue. I think the Stackall plan fixes that. I 309 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 5: might make a pitch for that again shamelessly, but the 310 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 5: fact of the matter is they're going to have to 311 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 5: get something accomplished. Hip Roy, for instance, who has got 312 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 5: the save aac through the House, he says the Senate. 313 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 5: They've got the votes to pass it, they should do it. 314 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 2: And I agree. 315 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 5: The American public is universally, uniformly behind identification to vote 316 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 5: and just participate in basic civic issues of the day. 317 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 5: In this country, everybody believes you should have identification. We 318 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 5: all have to have it for everything else we do. 319 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 5: Why shouldn't you have it for voting? Here's chip Roy 320 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 5: number sixty. 321 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 12: Well, the good news is, as you know, we passed 322 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 12: it out of the House and sitting in the Senate 323 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 12: and we have fifty senators who said they support the bill. 324 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 12: So now the question is, well, the majority leader put 325 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 12: it on the floor, he should, and will he force 326 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 12: them to do their job. Leave the nursing home, put 327 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 12: the jello away, go down to the floor of the 328 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 12: Senate and actually do their job and speak. That's all 329 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 12: we're asking them to do. By the way, we're not 330 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 12: asking for a change in the rules. We're simply asking 331 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 12: to force everybody into the floor. Well, but that's the 332 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 12: point we could have that debate. We're not even asking 333 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 12: for that right now. We're literally just saying, go to 334 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 12: the Senate floor and make your case. Argue, make them 335 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 12: sit down there again five percent issue, make them do 336 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 12: a real filibuster, make them take mister Smith back to 337 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 12: Washington again, and that I think will eliminate for the 338 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 12: American people how out of touch Democrats are. And by 339 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 12: the way, we're confident in this legislation. 340 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 5: So I want to ask you at eight five five, Stigaul, 341 00:15:57,920 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 5: I'm going to do something I don't typically do. You know, 342 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 5: I head to Capitol Hill today and I talk with 343 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 5: the members of Congress. The Republicans have invited us there. 344 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 5: I always look forward to the opportunity because I want 345 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 5: to take your concerns and your questions directly to the 346 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 5: body of representatives on Capitol Hill that have the power 347 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 5: to actually affect real legislative change and get something to 348 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 5: the President's desk to sign. You know, we're in an 349 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 5: era where it's just a matter of executive action versus 350 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 5: judicial rulings. Executive actions, judicial rulings, executive actions, judicial rulings, 351 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 5: washerants repeat the eight hundred pound guerrilla should be the legislature. 352 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 5: And I think I speak for most people when I 353 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 5: say we don't feel like there's nearly enough movement happening 354 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 5: legislatively again, big beautiful bill. 355 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 2: Great, but they can't be where we stop. 356 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 5: So my question is if Republicans were to try to 357 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 5: hang on this fall, and I think conventional wisdom suggests 358 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 5: they won't, but if they did, and I'm not saying 359 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 5: they can't because here's what's also true. Democrats are in 360 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 5: the toilet. Nobody thinks they're a solid alternative. So what 361 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,439 Speaker 5: can the Republicans do? At eight five five Stigall, what 362 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,399 Speaker 5: would you like to see the Republicans do that you 363 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 5: think would energize and boost turnout? Right now? What could 364 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:19,479 Speaker 5: they do to excite and energize turnout for Republicans? What 365 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 5: would it take for you to get up off the 366 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 5: couch and get excited and enthusiastic about Republicans eight five 367 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 5: five Stagall. I would love to ask you that question, 368 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,199 Speaker 5: and I'll pass it along to them today. Good to 369 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 5: be with you this morning from the Relief Factor Studios, 370 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 5: looking live in Manhattan this morning, am nine to seventy. 371 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 5: The answer. Our camera's there high above Midtown Manhattan. Our 372 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 5: telephone number eight five five Stagall. If you want to 373 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 5: get in here today, use it because I'm doing something rare. 374 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,360 Speaker 5: I don't do this typically in the middle of the week. 375 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,919 Speaker 5: But I'm opening the phones because I'm headed to Capitol 376 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,400 Speaker 5: Hill today and I'm asking a very specific question of 377 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 5: you while on the way there, and that is this, 378 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 5: What could I relay to members of Congress that would 379 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 5: excite you about what they're doing. I remember feeling last year, 380 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,719 Speaker 5: particularly when we're talking about Doge cuts and recisions and 381 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 5: codifying recisions and reducing the size and scope of government 382 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 5: in addition to the big beautiful bill. I remember feeling 383 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 5: real momentum and enthusiasm. I sense obviously that that was 384 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,399 Speaker 5: about the sum total of it, and then not really 385 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,679 Speaker 5: because of Mike Johnson's in action in fact that I 386 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 5: think the House has actually done their fair share. I 387 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:34,639 Speaker 5: think now the Senate bears responsibility obviously and getting certain 388 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 5: things like the save ac past. 389 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:37,359 Speaker 2: Would that excite you? Is that enough? 390 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,199 Speaker 5: You know, Chip Roy said they've got the votes to 391 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 5: make it legal across the country that everyone must have 392 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 5: identification to vote. Would that do it? Would you feel satisfied? Okay, 393 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 5: my elected representatives are acting on my behalf. That enthuses me. 394 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 5: I'm going to go out and work hard for the 395 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,359 Speaker 5: Republican Party. I'm going to make sure they stay in 396 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 5: control of Congress this fall. Because the thing is, Democrats 397 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 5: are energized, folks. We know that they are. They'll do anything. 398 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 5: They'll walk over broken glass and walk through fire to 399 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:15,120 Speaker 5: go vote. And so far the turnout models, even in 400 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 5: Texas show they're there and they're ready. I mean, this 401 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,160 Speaker 5: March third primary down there is an interesting thing to watch. 402 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,199 Speaker 5: If you haven't paid much attention, you Texans know this. 403 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 5: Democrats are ready, are you? You know there was great 404 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 5: enthusiasm for Donald Trump. But when Donald Trump's not on 405 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 5: the ballot, these Republicans in Congress really struggle without him. 406 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 5: And so I've been really pondering this, What can they do, 407 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 5: in your opinion, to excite you enough to literally get 408 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 5: up and go, maybe volunteer and knock doors for your 409 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,679 Speaker 5: member of Congress, because I suspect the good number of 410 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 5: you right now do not feel as motivated. I don't 411 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 5: want to speak for you. Maybe you do. Maybe you're 412 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 5: champing it a bit to get out there and make 413 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 5: sure Republicans hold on to the House and the Senate. 414 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 5: But if you're not and you feel like, ooh, what's 415 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 5: election day, Trump's another back. I mean, I've told you 416 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 5: before I know people who vote only because Trump's on 417 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 5: the ballot, and when he's not, they don't vote. They're 418 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,160 Speaker 5: not Democrats, they just own they're pro Trump and that's it. 419 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,199 Speaker 5: So what could Republicans do to make you feel like, 420 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 5: right on? This is a team I want to play for. 421 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 5: This is a team I want to keep in charge. 422 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 5: Because that's what Republicans have to do. They've got to 423 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 5: get you out this fall. Can they are? 424 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 2: They will? They eight five fives to gall And. 425 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 5: As President Trump speaks to the country tonight, well do 426 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 5: you want to hear him say? They say he's going 427 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 5: to talk about the economy. He's going to sell the 428 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 5: economy during the State of the Union address, using a 429 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 5: State of the Union address to sell the public on 430 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 5: the economy and unveil new measures meant to lower costs, 431 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,719 Speaker 5: says The Wall Street Journal. As Republicans try to address 432 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 5: voters concerns ahead of the midterm elections this fall. The 433 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 5: official theme of the speech America at two fifty strong, 434 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:07,399 Speaker 5: prosperous respected. Now, if you believe public sentiment polls, I 435 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,880 Speaker 5: think a good number of people believe the country is strong. 436 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 5: I think you have to acknowledge that the country is respected. 437 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 5: You may not like why they're respected, but I think 438 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 5: the rest of the world understands. We got a guy 439 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 5: who doesn't play. He's deadly serious, and so they're setting 440 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 5: up and taking notice. So I say respected, I say strong. 441 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 5: Are we prosperous? I think a lot of you in 442 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 5: this audience. Again, I don't mean to speak for you, 443 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:32,959 Speaker 5: but I think a lot of you in this audience 444 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 5: still feel, for whatever reason, that the economy has not 445 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,159 Speaker 5: advanced as fast as maybe you'd like. I think there 446 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 5: are reasons for that. I'm going to certainly ask those questions. 447 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:51,680 Speaker 5: But if the stats are correct, the housing market not 448 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:57,400 Speaker 5: great right now for buyers, student loan defaults have ticked up. 449 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 5: Jobs numbers are good on balance, Unemployment remains relatively low, 450 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 5: wages have increased. But for whatever reason, the public sentiment 451 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 5: is and I think it's largely because of media. You're 452 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 5: given the interpretation of the impression. People will say it's groceries. 453 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 5: People say grocery. I go shopping and the groceries are 454 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,920 Speaker 5: still expensive. I'm not sure those are ever going down. 455 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,399 Speaker 5: And this is one of those things that I say often, 456 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 5: I don't know that grocery prices are coming down. I mean, 457 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 5: I'm not sure what anyone can do. We've talked about 458 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 5: fuel prices. Those have certainly come down. Gasoline prices have 459 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 5: come down, so people that ship goods to market maybe 460 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 5: they don't have to pass on fuel costs as much. 461 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 5: But you know how things work, people don't lower prices 462 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,119 Speaker 5: very often. Once they've been able to raise them, they 463 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 5: don't typically come down. So if you're ticked off at 464 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 5: what you're paying for a pound of beef, I think 465 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 5: that'll change as supply of cattle changes. But other stuff, chips, 466 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,239 Speaker 5: junk food, that kind of stuff, coffee, I don't know. 467 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 5: Maybe it doesn't come down. 468 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:01,920 Speaker 2: And then what no? 469 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 9: I agree, Chris, And this is what I try to 470 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:04,160 Speaker 9: tell people. 471 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 5: I don't know. 472 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,919 Speaker 10: I don't understand why anybody votes Democrat because this is 473 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 10: the thing. 474 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:09,439 Speaker 2: They do. 475 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 10: Affect the price of gas, they do affect the price 476 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 10: of heating your home. 477 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,120 Speaker 9: They do affect They enact new taxes. 478 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 10: On you to you know, save the quarry or whatever 479 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:21,879 Speaker 10: new program they want to add at the school. And 480 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 10: I say, don't you realize once you approve and you 481 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 10: vote for these Democrats and they enact these costs on you, 482 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,959 Speaker 10: you're never going back. Ever, so Joe Biden, you know, 483 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 10: caused the worst inflation in forty years. It's like, okay, well, 484 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 10: now these companies are getting that money they have to 485 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,400 Speaker 10: operate to We're never ever going back. 486 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 9: It never happens. 487 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 5: And so I think Donald Trump's election many people maybe 488 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 5: they thought, well, I'm not going to have to pay 489 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 5: more than a buck or two for chips or something. 490 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 5: And I can't believe it costs me five dollars now 491 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 5: to buy a bag of chips when it used to 492 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,879 Speaker 5: cost me to Trump got elected and it wasn't fixed. 493 00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 2: I don't have to say any about that. 494 00:23:59,080 --> 00:23:59,400 Speaker 13: I don't. 495 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,400 Speaker 5: I don't think that was realistic. Ever, I'm not sure 496 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 5: that particular expectation was realistic. He can impact, as you said, 497 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:09,200 Speaker 5: fuel costs, and he has. He can impact home energy, 498 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,439 Speaker 5: heating and cooling costs, and he has and he is. 499 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 5: There's a lot he can impact. But at any rate 500 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:17,920 Speaker 5: eight five five s to Gaul if you'd like to 501 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,640 Speaker 5: get in here today speaking of Mayor Zorn Mamdani mad 502 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 5: manny I like to call him of New York. This 503 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 5: is from the New York Times today. You ready for 504 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 5: this to this point? Mamdani of New York, and his 505 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 5: inaugural address offered a pledge to create a government where 506 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 5: excellence is no longer the exception. He must now do 507 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 5: so while closing a five point four billion dollar deficit 508 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:42,919 Speaker 5: in a state where the governor rejects higher taxes on 509 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 5: the rich. This from The New York Times. Big budget 510 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,959 Speaker 5: gaps are not uncommon in American cities, nor is New 511 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,960 Speaker 5: York's high cost of living one reason that California, New York, 512 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 5: and Illinois topped the list of states with declining populations 513 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 5: over the past years. If blue state governors and mayors 514 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 5: want to get serious about delivering excellent public services, they 515 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,919 Speaker 5: will need to do more than battle billionaire elites or 516 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 5: embrace abundant housing and energy. They will have to push 517 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,639 Speaker 5: back against a core constituency within the Democrat party that 518 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 5: often makes government deliver. 519 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 2: Less and cost more. Are you ready for this? 520 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 5: Unions representing teachers, police officers, and transit workers. Democrats have 521 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,439 Speaker 5: long accepted inefficiencies as the price of support from the 522 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 5: public sector unions, and this may seem the worst time 523 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 5: to demand better confronted with the President's cruelty and lawlessness, 524 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:40,920 Speaker 5: says The New York Times. The unions have been inspiring, 525 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 5: defending wrongly fired workers, fighting federal overreach, and organizing against 526 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 5: ice brutality. But it's precisely because of increasing authoritarianism that 527 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,479 Speaker 5: Democrat governors and mayors now need to show the public 528 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 5: that they can deliver. With the President weaponizing budget cuts 529 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 5: against blue states, there is little room for error. Democrats 530 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 5: need a new bargain with public sector unions, one that 531 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:08,399 Speaker 5: respects their voices and livelihoods, but puts public services first. 532 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,160 Speaker 5: Begin with the cost of government. Blue state and blue 533 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 5: city voters pay higher taxes more than half of a 534 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 5: city and local government expenditures are paid out to employees. 535 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 5: These blue states and cities often pay state and local 536 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,919 Speaker 5: government workers more than similar jobs pay in red jurisdictions, 537 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 5: even after adjusting the cost of living. So the New 538 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,439 Speaker 5: York Times is actually saying government is going to have 539 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:34,680 Speaker 5: to run more efficiently. 540 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 2: I kid you not. That's the New York Times. 541 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 5: Telling Democrats you're going to have to expect more from 542 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 5: your union labor workers, and they are going to have 543 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,359 Speaker 5: to expect a little less and give a little more 544 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 5: because in red states, people are operating leaner and meaner 545 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,919 Speaker 5: and more efficient. I'm not making this up. This is 546 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,880 Speaker 5: today in advance of the State of the Union address, 547 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 5: where is carping and yelling and whining and bellyaching about affordability. 548 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:04,679 Speaker 2: Oh, it's so expensive. 549 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 5: You know who's feeling it the worst, people that live 550 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:11,239 Speaker 5: in blue governed states. Yeah, things suck for you if 551 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,200 Speaker 5: you live in a blue state, There's no doubt about it. 552 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 5: And I'm really sorry about that. But that's why people 553 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 5: are leaving, fleeing, running to states like Florida and Tennessee. 554 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 5: You know, it's so funny. I hear from my friends 555 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:28,159 Speaker 5: in New Jersey or you know, Pennsylvania that's barely got 556 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:32,639 Speaker 5: a Republican presence in the legislature, and it's like, yeah, guys, 557 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,880 Speaker 5: you live in a poorly governed state. That's why things 558 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 5: are so damned expensive. That's why things are so inefficient, 559 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:40,440 Speaker 5: That's why it feels lawless. 560 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 2: Move. 561 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,639 Speaker 5: I don't know what else to tell you, but you 562 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,360 Speaker 5: can't lay it all at Trump's feet. You know, people say, 563 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 5: I'm still paying five something a gallon for gas in California. 564 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:55,440 Speaker 5: I'm real sorry, but that ain't President Trump's fault.

Thank you. 678 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:25,200 Speaker 18: Yeah, feeling good with the coffee. I was wondering the 679 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,560 Speaker 18: housing market if he's going to talk on that at all, 680 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 18: And you know, he talked about the changes in price 681 00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,240 Speaker 18: the chips and they're they're up. They're going to stay up. 682 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:36,560 Speaker 18: The housing market. You know what leverage could be done there. 683 00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:38,479 Speaker 18: I know interest rates have come down a little bit, 684 00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 18: but my thought was, like these bigger companies like black 685 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,920 Speaker 18: Rock or like Airbnb, like his rental companies like it 686 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:49,640 Speaker 18: just really eats up these homes that single families, you know, 687 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,440 Speaker 18: shortage on homes, and you know what what leverage can 688 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,040 Speaker 18: can his administration do I help out? 689 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,280 Speaker 5: I know he has pledged to end the practice of 690 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:02,640 Speaker 5: these large scale companies buying up holmes in mass I 691 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,400 Speaker 5: don't know if he's taken executive action on that or 692 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,240 Speaker 5: advocated for legislative action or maybe both. I got to 693 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:10,160 Speaker 5: research that further. I bet he addresses that. But housing 694 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:12,120 Speaker 5: is something in particular that's sensitive to you. 695 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:14,480 Speaker 14: Oh yeah, yeah. 696 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,239 Speaker 18: I mean cheapest house we can find a nice area 697 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,319 Speaker 18: is like three hundred and fifty thousand, and I guess 698 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,440 Speaker 18: that's not bad, but you know, it's a lot more 699 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,120 Speaker 18: than what it was six years ago. 700 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,040 Speaker 5: Are you off? You're a first time buyer. You're looking 701 00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:28,440 Speaker 5: for the first time So. 702 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,120 Speaker 18: I use a v alone my first time around, and 703 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:31,800 Speaker 18: I wouldn't be able to afford it, but didn't have 704 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:36,239 Speaker 18: like a vah sipens out in Colorado. If the v 705 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 18: a Long's great, great benefits, but I don't have those 706 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,880 Speaker 18: anymore since I'm out, and you know, I got to 707 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,000 Speaker 18: do it the regular way, and I can do it. 708 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 18: It's just not I know a lot of people. 709 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:45,600 Speaker 19: Struggle with it. 710 00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,160 Speaker 5: All right, Nick, I'm here's what I'm promising.

Meanwhile, rough Green's I want to 714 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:56,680 Speaker 5: talk to you about that.

Rough Greens does it. 726 00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,279 Speaker 5: I open up my canister every day, give Dean a 727 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:35,279 Speaker 5: tablespoon of it, and he is as energetic and happy 728 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:35,759 Speaker 5: as he can be. 729 00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:36,200 Speaker 2: He loves it. 730 00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:37,840 Speaker 5: If your dog doesn't eat very well or has some 731 00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:41,960 Speaker 5: digestive issues, this is your ticket.

If you have yo yo 734 00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:50,760 Speaker 5: dieted all of your life, I certainly have Keto Paleo 735 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,880 Speaker 5: weight watchers intermittent fasting. You lose weight, and I have. 736 00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,640 Speaker 5: I've lost dramatic amounts of weight before, only to gain 737 00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:01,120 Speaker 5: it back and then some and probably kick yourself for it. 738 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,040 Speaker 5: And you think it's all about your own willpower and 739 00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:06,080 Speaker 5: your own lack of discipline. Look, maybe there's some of that, 740 00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:07,759 Speaker 5: but the real truth of it is it was not 741 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:11,880 Speaker 5: strictly about willpower. There is one thing only that determines 742 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:15,239 Speaker 5: whether your body burns fat or stores fat. And if 743 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,880 Speaker 5: you don't know how to fix that, every diet you're 744 00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:22,640 Speaker 5: ever going to try fails. That's all that changed for 745 00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:26,040 Speaker 5: me was looking at it differently, and PhD Weight Loss 746 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,400 Speaker 5: told me how to look at it differently. Doctor Ashley 747 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,600 Speaker 5: Lucas and I started talking about her program and why 748 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,680 Speaker 5: it's worked so well for some of my colleagues, and 749 00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:37,600 Speaker 5: how she's different and so when I went on this 750 00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:40,800 Speaker 5: program last year and I began to eat real food. 751 00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:43,520 Speaker 5: I didn't have to take any kind of shots or 752 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:45,719 Speaker 5: any kind of gimmicky drugs or anything like that. It 753 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:49,239 Speaker 5: was just purely understanding how my body best metabolizes food, 754 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,960 Speaker 5: when to eat, what to eat, and not starving myself 755 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:56,640 Speaker 5: by the way. And here's the deal. You start to 756 00:36:56,680 --> 00:37:00,440 Speaker 5: have real victories quickly. And I lost over forty and 757 00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:04,680 Speaker 5: under four months time fast. Eddie, our executive producer, was 758 00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:07,040 Speaker 5: so impressed with it, he said, I wouldn't mind trying it. 759 00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:08,680 Speaker 5: I said, how much you want to lose? He said 760 00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,959 Speaker 5: fifty pounds. So we dialed up Ashley Lucas and I said, 761 00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,799 Speaker 5: can Eddie lose fifty pounds along with me here? And 762 00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,799 Speaker 5: she said, oh absolutely, Let's give it till May. So 763 00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,920 Speaker 5: he started the program. Folks, he is already halfway to 764 00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:24,480 Speaker 5: his goal after just thirteen weeks or so. So, I mean, 765 00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,839 Speaker 5: you're talking about over twenty five pounds in a matter 766 00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:28,480 Speaker 5: of weeks.

Here in your nation's capital, where the 813 00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:41,880 Speaker 5: State of the Union will happen. Tonight, President Trump addresses 814 00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:45,600 Speaker 5: the nation members of Congress, apparently some of the women. 815 00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:49,880 Speaker 5: I'm told this from the CBS News, Folks. When President 816 00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:52,799 Speaker 5: Trump's gives his State of the Union address tonight, more 817 00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:57,279 Speaker 5: than a dozen Democrat congresswomen plan to again make a 818 00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:04,040 Speaker 5: sartorial political statement by wearing white. Democrat congresswomen have used 819 00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,839 Speaker 5: fashion as a form of protest against mister Trump since 820 00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:10,320 Speaker 5: his first address. In the years since, they've mostly stuck 821 00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:13,239 Speaker 5: with that choice, with the exception of twenty eighteen, when 822 00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:17,480 Speaker 5: some more black to support the Me Too movement. They 823 00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:21,640 Speaker 5: also broke tradition last year, when technically not a State 824 00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,400 Speaker 5: of the Union, they wore pink to highlight their opposition 825 00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:28,480 Speaker 5: to mister Trump's policies.

That's honestly what they 832 00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:52,759 Speaker 5: think they're going to try to sell that women are 833 00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,960 Speaker 5: losing their right to vote in the country.

Good morning, welcome in. 883 00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:56,520 Speaker 11: Hey, good morning. 884 00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:57,399 Speaker 2: What's on your mind? 885 00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:57,600 Speaker 8: Sir? 886 00:42:59,160 --> 00:42:59,279 Speaker 19: Well? 887 00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:02,440 Speaker 11: I was wondering what they don't the Trump team doesn't 888 00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:05,879 Speaker 11: continue using the podcaster like they did. That's what got 889 00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:08,960 Speaker 11: him elected. Remember that Aaron Trump said, oh, you got 890 00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:12,640 Speaker 11: to go on Joe Rogan. He used THEO Vaughn and 891 00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:15,239 Speaker 11: Joe Rogan to get themselves in the top position, and 892 00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:17,719 Speaker 11: it worked, and then they just got comfortable and went 893 00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:22,080 Speaker 11: to sleep. Why isn't somebody from the Trump team consistently 894 00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:25,799 Speaker 11: out on these podcasts given out their message because as 895 00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,960 Speaker 11: of right now, it's like ninety nine of the narrative 896 00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:32,000 Speaker 11: of Trump's second term is being broadcast to the people 897 00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:34,279 Speaker 11: by mainstream media CNN. 898 00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:39,000 Speaker 5: So they used the Joe Rogan vessels and shows like 899 00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:40,879 Speaker 5: his to get to the White House. But once they 900 00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:42,680 Speaker 5: got there, what do you think? Do you think they 901 00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:44,600 Speaker 5: forgot how to do it? 902 00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:50,320 Speaker 11: I don't know, but I mean between Caroline Levitt's pressers 903 00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:53,680 Speaker 11: and President Trump answering a few questions on Air Force one, 904 00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:57,319 Speaker 11: that's it that I can see. That's all they're doing 905 00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:59,880 Speaker 11: to get their messaging out that's. 906 00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:02,880 Speaker 5: A student observation, Terry. I think it's a great one. 907 00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:05,919 Speaker 5: You think that would change the dynamic, particularly with younger people, 908 00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:08,080 Speaker 5: if they started going back to those venues. 909 00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:13,560 Speaker 11: With the young men that are apparently disheartened with you know, 910 00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:16,160 Speaker 11: I don't know what's true and what is but when 911 00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:20,400 Speaker 11: they say they regret voting for Trump, now, well come on, 912 00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:22,279 Speaker 11: somebody needs to get out there and tell the young 913 00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:23,960 Speaker 11: men what's in it for them. 914 00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:26,920 Speaker 5: I can't disagree with a word of that, Terry. I 915 00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:30,120 Speaker 5: agree with you wholeheartedly, and it's something that I'm going 916 00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:32,319 Speaker 5: to investigate, and I've been very curious about myself. Thank 917 00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:34,400 Speaker 5: you for the call, and I'm going to pass that 918 00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:38,640 Speaker 5: along and any insights into that. Some have brought that 919 00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:41,320 Speaker 5: to my attention. I called him the podcast president. I 920 00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:43,360 Speaker 5: think I literally wrote that at the Rump Society, he 921 00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:46,920 Speaker 5: was the podcast president and they've since kind of abandoned 922 00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:50,759 Speaker 5: that strategy that was supposedly his youngest son, Baron's strategy. 923 00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:53,480 Speaker 5: Baron had a great deal of influence. I think the 924 00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:55,719 Speaker 5: first Lady has even said as much that Baron told 925 00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:58,359 Speaker 5: the President, hey, you need to start appearing on these 926 00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:01,440 Speaker 5: hot podcasts and worked a great effect, but now they 927 00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:01,960 Speaker 5: don't do that. 928 00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:03,040 Speaker 2: Any insights as. 929 00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:07,239 Speaker 10: To why I don't, And I don't think that the 930 00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:10,560 Speaker 10: people were talking about Vance Trump. They're very smart, they 931 00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:12,560 Speaker 10: know how to answer questions, so I don't think that 932 00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:14,680 Speaker 10: they would be gotcha in the way that you know, 933 00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:17,920 Speaker 10: Kamala thought maybe she would be on the podcast Bros. 934 00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:18,360 Speaker 9: Shows. 935 00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:22,600 Speaker 10: But they've also been very measured with who they reach 936 00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:27,040 Speaker 10: out with. So, for example, Fox News almost gets the 937 00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:29,640 Speaker 10: exclusive for anybody. So it's just like, oh, you know, 938 00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:33,040 Speaker 10: I'm Sean Hannity, we got an exclusive with Vice President Vance. 939 00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:35,840 Speaker 10: It's like, Okay, what's he going to tell Sean Hannity? 940 00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:38,480 Speaker 10: What's Sean a better question? What's Sean not going to 941 00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:40,000 Speaker 10: ask that Joe Rogan is well? 942 00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:43,320 Speaker 5: And also, who watching Fox and Sean Hannity isn't supportive 943 00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:44,960 Speaker 5: of them already? Aren't you kind of preaching to the 944 00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:45,600 Speaker 5: choir rank? 945 00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:49,960 Speaker 10: Exactly so? And the same goes for and I've noticed 946 00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:52,440 Speaker 10: this too, Chris. The same goes for who they speak 947 00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:55,879 Speaker 10: to in the you know, influencing space. So if you're 948 00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:58,359 Speaker 10: talking about going onto the podcast Bros. Sites where some 949 00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:01,200 Speaker 10: of these guys are not not necessarily conservative, you have 950 00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:06,040 Speaker 10: a whole new contingent of voters in the Republican Party. 951 00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:07,040 Speaker 2: Do they want to. 952 00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:11,080 Speaker 10: Hear from conservative influencers speaking with like the Tom Holmans 953 00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:11,960 Speaker 10: or the JD. 954 00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:12,640 Speaker 2: Van Says or. 955 00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:21,680 Speaker 5: Trump's Yeah, do you think that? Is it possible that 956 00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:25,840 Speaker 5: a lot of these podcast venues are focused on things 957 00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:27,439 Speaker 5: that the White House would rather not be? 958 00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:31,239 Speaker 2: Sure? Sure? Absolutely? 959 00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:34,279 Speaker 5: But for instance, dare I even say it the I word? 960 00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:37,560 Speaker 2: Right? Do I say that? Do I say the I word? 961 00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:43,080 Speaker 5: I mean, I like, does President Trump want to get 962 00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:45,920 Speaker 5: into it back and forth with us? You know, I'm 963 00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:49,160 Speaker 5: not going to name names, but a particular podcaster on Israel, 964 00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:51,759 Speaker 5: for instance, who I'm told, by the way, visited the 965 00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:58,280 Speaker 5: White House again yesterday after a pretty high profile pitched 966 00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:00,879 Speaker 5: battle again over the subject of Israel. He went back 967 00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:03,319 Speaker 5: there apparently again to the White House. So he's got 968 00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:05,640 Speaker 5: their ear, but for some reason he doesn't seem to 969 00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:09,720 Speaker 5: be much on board with them. So it's intriguing. Terry 970 00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:12,479 Speaker 5: is onto something there from West Virginia, Eddie. I think 971 00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:16,200 Speaker 5: with the messaging and the venue choices, I mean, President 972 00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:20,360 Speaker 5: Trump is again making himself available to some hostile media outlets. Yeah, 973 00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:22,840 Speaker 5: and by the way, he chooses that you should know. 974 00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:27,640 Speaker 5: I believe this wholeheartedly. President Trump still is a creature 975 00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:31,600 Speaker 5: of old He still sees the New York Times, the 976 00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:36,480 Speaker 5: Washington Post, NBCCBS, ABC. I think he still sees them 977 00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:38,879 Speaker 5: as places where he can win them over and convert them. 978 00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:41,480 Speaker 5: That's what he came up knowing the traditional media. And 979 00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:44,200 Speaker 5: I think he thinks with great policy he can impact 980 00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:46,120 Speaker 5: and affect things to such a degree that they will 981 00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:50,319 Speaker 5: have no choice but to come around. Plus his winning personality, 982 00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:54,400 Speaker 5: he'll win over these hostile venues. I still, in my heart, 983 00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:57,960 Speaker 5: I think that's really what Trump believes sincerely, that he 984 00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:02,040 Speaker 5: can convert people that are hostile to him. And maybe 985 00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:06,040 Speaker 5: there's the calculation that either these podcast places are no 986 00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:10,319 Speaker 5: longer necessarily friendly, or we'll start asking stuff that they 987 00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:12,200 Speaker 5: just don't want to make a focus right now. They 988 00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:13,759 Speaker 5: don't want to talk about Epstein, they don't want to 989 00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:16,480 Speaker 5: talk about Israel. They want to talk about the economy. 990 00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:21,400 Speaker 5: Is that a fair caution ed, If that's what they're thinking, 991 00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:22,520 Speaker 5: it's a. 992 00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:26,960 Speaker 10: Fair caution, But you're not reaching those people that you 993 00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:30,839 Speaker 10: need to reach then, because that's unfortunately, you know, you've 994 00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:33,719 Speaker 10: said even some of the young men, you know, even 995 00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:37,080 Speaker 10: your sons have just like asked about yep, you know, 996 00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:39,560 Speaker 10: the Epstein thing, the Israel thing.

Capping down 1008 00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:08,880 Speaker 21: to ten percent, you know, for a year would be great, 1009 00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:13,080 Speaker 21: but since Biden got us into this mess, four years 1010 00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:14,040 Speaker 21: would be even better. 1011 00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:16,680 Speaker 19: So maybe he can negotiate a little deal with that. 1012 00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:19,120 Speaker 21: And then also, I think you'll get a chuckle out 1013 00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:23,960 Speaker 21: of this.

Right now? 1153 00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:38,280 Speaker 24: I think the economy is incredibly important. I was reading 1154 00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:40,759 Speaker 24: this morning that President Trump said that it was going 1155 00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:43,879 Speaker 24: to be quite a long speech, and that I did 1156 00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:46,799 Speaker 24: see some indications that, of course, the economy is going 1157 00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:49,319 Speaker 24: to be a central focus, given the fact that the 1158 00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:52,360 Speaker 24: President has a lot of accomplishments to speak to, and 1159 00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:55,800 Speaker 24: given the fact that voters really care about being able 1160 00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:59,040 Speaker 24: to afford basic necessities and being able to afford things 1161 00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:01,040 Speaker 24: like a home, wants to be able to live out 1162 00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:03,520 Speaker 24: the American dream, and so I think President this will 1163 00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:06,160 Speaker 24: be a central focus for President Trump. I also saw 1164 00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:09,640 Speaker 24: that he wants to talk about America at its two 1165 00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:14,000 Speaker 24: hundred and fiftieth anniversary as prosperous and respects it, and 1166 00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:16,480 Speaker 24: so I think those will be two central themes that 1167 00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:18,880 Speaker 24: he'll talk about tonight, along with a whole host of 1168 00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:21,880 Speaker 24: other things. We know, the foreign piece deals for example, 1169 00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:25,920 Speaker 24: for example, all he's done to bring down prescription drug prices, 1170 00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:28,239 Speaker 24: tax cuts. He has a lot to speak to, and 1171 00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:32,400 Speaker 24: so I think we'll see a exhaustive sort of list. 1172 00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:34,760 Speaker 6: And just in an. 1173 00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:37,040 Speaker 24: Explanation of all the things this administration has done and 1174 00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:38,160 Speaker 24: will continue to do. 1175 00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:40,239 Speaker 6: As we move forward into this midterm year. 1176 00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:45,000 Speaker 5: It's no secret the history is not on the Republican side, 1177 00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:47,240 Speaker 5: who are in total control of Congress right now. History 1178 00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:51,320 Speaker 5: just suggests loss in the midterms. But here's what's a 1179 00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:55,000 Speaker 5: little different this time. There is zero enthusiasm for Democrats. 1180 00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:58,440 Speaker 5: I mean zero. Every poll shows it. If there is 1181 00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:00,839 Speaker 5: a lack of enthusiasm for Republican it's not like, boy, 1182 00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:03,600 Speaker 5: are they excited to go vote Democrat. So does that 1183 00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:07,440 Speaker 5: mean Republicans still have a window of opportunity? That is 1184 00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:10,000 Speaker 5: assuming and maybe you don't as Press secretary of the RNC, 1185 00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:14,360 Speaker 5: assuming the Republicans are slated to lose just because history 1186 00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:18,280 Speaker 5: dictates it, Does that mean Republicans have an inside here 1187 00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:19,880 Speaker 5: that they didn't in the past. 1188 00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:23,000 Speaker 6: Well, I definitely think so. 1189 00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:27,160 Speaker 24: And the reason that I think Republicans are poised to 1190 00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:30,160 Speaker 24: defy history this time is because you look at the 1191 00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:31,760 Speaker 24: approval rating for Democrats. 1192 00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:35,160 Speaker 6: It is in the gutter. It is just completely so low. 1193 00:57:35,640 --> 00:57:40,040 Speaker 24: The American people do not trust Democrats to solve their problems. 1194 00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:42,640 Speaker 24: The American people are distrustful of Democrats, and that's for 1195 00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:43,200 Speaker 24: a reason. 1196 00:57:43,240 --> 00:57:44,720 Speaker 6: Look at what they're doing tonight. 1197 00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:47,840 Speaker 24: They're going to be boycotting the State of the Union address, 1198 00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:49,800 Speaker 24: They're going to be sitting it out to do their 1199 00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:52,200 Speaker 24: little side shows where they're going to be grand standing. 1200 00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:55,240 Speaker 24: But remember they have no solutions to offer. All they 1201 00:57:55,280 --> 00:58:00,600 Speaker 24: have is far left extremism, chaos, obstruction, And I think 1202 00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:04,200 Speaker 24: it's very unpatriotic to boycott the State of the Union address. 1203 00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:06,800 Speaker 24: You should be rooting for our country, even if you 1204 00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:09,600 Speaker 24: disagree with President Trump. You should be rooting for all 1205 00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:12,040 Speaker 24: of the accomplishments that he's doing for the American people. 1206 00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:14,400 Speaker 24: You should be on the side of the American people 1207 00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:16,480 Speaker 24: instead of rooting against them. And so I really do 1208 00:58:16,560 --> 00:58:19,720 Speaker 24: think it's the contrast between the America First Party and 1209 00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:21,480 Speaker 24: the Anti America Party. 1210 00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:25,120 Speaker 5: Kirsten, when you talk to members of Congress again, when 1211 00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:29,080 Speaker 5: you're talking about the RNC, that's big tent. Every member 1212 00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:30,560 Speaker 5: of the House has got to go run their own 1213 00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:34,280 Speaker 5: race in their respective districts. Are they messaging different things 1214 00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:38,520 Speaker 5: respective to their districts or is there a discussion about 1215 00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:43,560 Speaker 5: messaging broadly? Are you targeting certain districts. We hear the 1216 00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:46,520 Speaker 5: fundraising under President Trump has been huge. We know there's 1217 00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:49,680 Speaker 5: going to be a big convention, which is unusual and different. 1218 00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:51,400 Speaker 5: In fact, I think that news broke the last time 1219 00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:55,400 Speaker 5: you were with us. But strategy wise, how would you 1220 00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:58,120 Speaker 5: talk to Congressional Republicans in particular? 1221 00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:02,840 Speaker 24: Every race is different, and of course every candidate will 1222 00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:06,880 Speaker 24: know their district very well, their constituency very well, and 1223 00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:10,080 Speaker 24: so they will be tailoring, of course, their focus to 1224 00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:13,680 Speaker 24: make sure that those concerns of their constituencies are heard. 1225 00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:16,320 Speaker 24: I think when you look at a national message, what 1226 00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:20,400 Speaker 24: we look at is unification around the central ideas of 1227 00:59:20,440 --> 00:59:23,720 Speaker 24: the America First platform that was so successful in twenty 1228 00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:27,440 Speaker 24: twenty four, that brought this large coalition together across the 1229 00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:31,520 Speaker 24: country that you saw independent swinging towards President Trump, You 1230 00:59:31,560 --> 00:59:35,960 Speaker 24: saw younger voters swinging towards this message, this America First message. 1231 00:59:35,960 --> 00:59:37,960 Speaker 24: And so I think that when you look at a 1232 00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:40,560 Speaker 24: lot of the policies that this administration has been carrying out, 1233 00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:44,400 Speaker 24: the focuses of this administration putting the American worker first, 1234 00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:48,040 Speaker 24: putting the American family first, I think those broad themes 1235 00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:51,200 Speaker 24: will apply across the country as they did so successfully 1236 00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:53,160 Speaker 24: this last presidential election. 1237 00:59:53,720 --> 00:59:58,560 Speaker 5: Kirsten Pel's with us, the rnc's national press secretary. Again, 1238 00:59:58,600 --> 01:00:00,960 Speaker 5: I know you're not in in a place maybe to 1239 01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:03,400 Speaker 5: necessarily say this, but I would ask you anyway what 1240 01:00:03,440 --> 01:00:07,320 Speaker 5: would you want to see Congressional Republicans take action to 1241 01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:09,600 Speaker 5: do before the midterms that they could really sail. Is 1242 01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:13,120 Speaker 5: there a particular piece of legislation or action they could take. 1243 01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:15,280 Speaker 5: I've been asking callers today to the show about it. 1244 01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:17,760 Speaker 5: A lot of them have said, get the Save ac passed. 1245 01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:20,040 Speaker 5: I mean, if you could tell all of Congress, I 1246 01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:22,040 Speaker 5: know you probably wouldn't presume to do that, but you, 1247 01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:24,600 Speaker 5: as the press secretary for the RNC, if you could say, hey, 1248 01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:27,120 Speaker 5: here's one thing that would really help message to the 1249 01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:28,760 Speaker 5: focus this fall, what would it be? 1250 01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:34,040 Speaker 24: I think the Save America Act is actually a huge 1251 01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:37,640 Speaker 24: accomplishment that was passed by House Republicans and now we 1252 01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:39,760 Speaker 24: just need to see it pass in the Senate as well. 1253 01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:44,360 Speaker 24: And it essentially would put into law a very simple 1254 01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:47,760 Speaker 24: premise that the vast majority of American people agree with 1255 01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:50,360 Speaker 24: that you need voter ID in order to vote in 1256 01:00:50,400 --> 01:00:52,880 Speaker 24: American elections. And that is something that at the r 1257 01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:54,960 Speaker 24: and C we are very focused on. We were very 1258 01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:58,520 Speaker 24: focused on election integrity, at securing the vote and making 1259 01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:01,600 Speaker 24: sure that the ballots are cure, that you have to 1260 01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:04,200 Speaker 24: prove that you are a US citizen in order to vote, 1261 01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:06,680 Speaker 24: and again, when you pull Democrats on this issue, it's 1262 01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:09,480 Speaker 24: seventy six percent of Democrats, it's over eighty percent of 1263 01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:11,960 Speaker 24: the general public. And so I think when you look 1264 01:01:12,040 --> 01:01:14,800 Speaker 24: at these sort of eighty twenty issues, and this is 1265 01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:18,560 Speaker 24: one of them, Securing the border is another, tax cuts, 1266 01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:21,800 Speaker 24: more money in the pockets of American families, I think 1267 01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:24,800 Speaker 24: when Republicans take the side of the eighty twenty issues 1268 01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:27,880 Speaker 24: on the eighty side and the Democrats take the twenty 1269 01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:30,439 Speaker 24: percent side because they are beholden to a far left, 1270 01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:34,440 Speaker 24: radical base, that really strikes the heart of the message 1271 01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:38,840 Speaker 24: that this is a broad coalition united around putting America first, 1272 01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:42,280 Speaker 24: and the Democrats are unfortunately so far to the left 1273 01:01:42,320 --> 01:01:44,240 Speaker 24: that they are just out of touch with reality. 1274 01:01:44,600 --> 01:01:48,960 Speaker 5: Kristen, do you believe the President or Republicans broadly, this 1275 01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:52,280 Speaker 5: coalition of younger men that voted for them in last one? 1276 01:01:52,840 --> 01:01:53,760 Speaker 2: Do you believe the polls? 1277 01:01:53,800 --> 01:01:56,600 Speaker 5: I mean, look, the Washington Post, for instance, had this 1278 01:01:56,760 --> 01:02:00,600 Speaker 5: Logus poll of twenty five hundred adults know that sixty 1279 01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:03,520 Speaker 5: percent of the country now is upset with President Trump 1280 01:02:03,640 --> 01:02:06,280 Speaker 5: or whatever. You know. That's a silly poll, of course, 1281 01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:08,200 Speaker 5: but I mean I do see data that says the 1282 01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:10,320 Speaker 5: young men that voted for Republicans and President Trump are 1283 01:02:10,320 --> 01:02:11,400 Speaker 5: now a little disenchanted. 1284 01:02:12,080 --> 01:02:14,000 Speaker 2: Is there a change in messaging necessary here? 1285 01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,920 Speaker 5: We were talking about the focus of maybe the podcast 1286 01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:20,560 Speaker 5: scene that was heavily utilized in twenty twenty four now 1287 01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:23,480 Speaker 5: not so much by the president. Could we see a 1288 01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:25,960 Speaker 5: re engagement on that front, tackling some of the things 1289 01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:31,360 Speaker 5: that maybe you're more difficult or challenging or divisive for Republicans. 1290 01:02:31,400 --> 01:02:33,360 Speaker 5: I mean issues and you know them. I mean, I'm 1291 01:02:33,400 --> 01:02:35,040 Speaker 5: just bringing them out because you know they're out there. 1292 01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:37,560 Speaker 5: The Epstein stuff, the Israel stuff. I know it's not 1293 01:02:37,560 --> 01:02:39,600 Speaker 5: where the president wants to focus, but it is where 1294 01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:42,040 Speaker 5: a lot of these folks still seem to focus their time. 1295 01:02:42,120 --> 01:02:44,479 Speaker 5: So is it useful to engage there? Do you think 1296 01:02:44,520 --> 01:02:47,560 Speaker 5: for the President and Republicans? Well? 1297 01:02:47,600 --> 01:02:51,880 Speaker 24: I have read that President Trump and cabinet members of 1298 01:02:51,920 --> 01:02:55,880 Speaker 24: Republican candidates are being encouraged to go on to podcasts 1299 01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:59,200 Speaker 24: and to make sure that to not just go onto 1300 01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:01,959 Speaker 24: cable television, because let's be honest, a lot of young 1301 01:03:02,040 --> 01:03:06,360 Speaker 24: voters are tuning out of cable television and they're on 1302 01:03:06,960 --> 01:03:09,360 Speaker 24: different forms of media, and so I think that was 1303 01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:12,760 Speaker 24: a very important strategy in twenty twenty four that President 1304 01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:16,240 Speaker 24: Trump utilized, and at the RNC, we actually launched a 1305 01:03:16,280 --> 01:03:22,520 Speaker 24: TikTok account recently last month to really engage with younger voters, 1306 01:03:22,560 --> 01:03:25,480 Speaker 24: and we are going toe to toe with Democrats on 1307 01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:28,720 Speaker 24: the app, and we are making sure to push America 1308 01:03:28,800 --> 01:03:31,600 Speaker 24: First content to highlight all the accomplishments, but also to 1309 01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:34,560 Speaker 24: highlight all of the crazy things that Democrats are doing, 1310 01:03:34,760 --> 01:03:37,000 Speaker 24: how delusional they are, how out of touch with reality 1311 01:03:37,040 --> 01:03:39,120 Speaker 24: that they are. And so I think the reason that young, 1312 01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:42,720 Speaker 24: younger people, younger voters swung towards the President in twenty 1313 01:03:42,720 --> 01:03:45,280 Speaker 24: twenty four is they really saw that contrast. And so 1314 01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:47,000 Speaker 24: I think that speaks right to the heart of the 1315 01:03:47,040 --> 01:03:49,280 Speaker 24: strategy here, and I think that's what we're going to 1316 01:03:49,280 --> 01:03:50,240 Speaker 24: be doing going forward. 1317 01:03:50,440 --> 01:03:53,080 Speaker 5: February is almost over, still months ago. I mean, it's 1318 01:03:53,080 --> 01:03:56,520 Speaker 5: an eternity in politics. Is the conventional wisdom still that 1319 01:03:56,560 --> 01:03:59,000 Speaker 5: we could see in economy really pop here in the 1320 01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:02,120 Speaker 5: next month or two tax season and that might just 1321 01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:05,320 Speaker 5: change the vibe generally, whether it be a vibe shift. 1322 01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:08,120 Speaker 5: Is the RNC kind of counting on a vibe shift? 1323 01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:13,000 Speaker 24: Well, I definitely think so, And I know that I've 1324 01:04:13,040 --> 01:04:16,600 Speaker 24: heard President Trump say the same Scott Bessett and others 1325 01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:18,840 Speaker 24: talking about how this economy is going to be coming 1326 01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:21,400 Speaker 24: in hot. We look at the recent jobs reports, this 1327 01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:24,640 Speaker 24: administration is really defying expectations on all of the economic 1328 01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:26,840 Speaker 24: markers that you would typically look at to measure the 1329 01:04:26,840 --> 01:04:29,680 Speaker 24: health of an economy. You could see interest rates coming 1330 01:04:29,680 --> 01:04:32,120 Speaker 24: down further, supercharging the economy again. 1331 01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:33,479 Speaker 6: Those tax refunds are. 1332 01:04:33,400 --> 01:04:37,320 Speaker 24: Going to hit people's wallets very soon, and so I 1333 01:04:37,360 --> 01:04:40,440 Speaker 24: think an inflation is coming down, and it's going to 1334 01:04:40,480 --> 01:04:41,440 Speaker 24: come down even further. 1335 01:04:41,600 --> 01:04:42,840 Speaker 6: So I think we will. 1336 01:04:43,520 --> 01:04:45,280 Speaker 5: Kirsten, thanks a lot for your time today. I know 1337 01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:47,880 Speaker 5: it's a big task as the Press secretary of the RNC. 1338 01:04:47,920 --> 01:04:50,120 Speaker 5: Will stay in touch. Thank you very much. And speaking 1339 01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:53,520 Speaker 5: of important races all over the country, we're following one 1340 01:04:53,560 --> 01:04:58,240 Speaker 5: in Wyoming as Harriet Hegeman is headed off perhaps to 1341 01:04:58,280 --> 01:05:02,280 Speaker 5: the Senate. Pretty likely we'll cover who's coming in behind 1342 01:05:02,320 --> 01:05:05,720 Speaker 5: her soon. Here we are in the Relief Factor studios 1343 01:05:05,760 --> 01:05:08,800 Speaker 5: this morning. I wouldn't mind being in Miami this morning 1344 01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:14,080 Speaker 5: looking live there on AM six seventy WWFE. Thanks for 1345 01:05:14,120 --> 01:05:16,400 Speaker 5: listening Miami, Thanks for watching on the Salem News Channel. 1346 01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:17,960 Speaker 5: If you do a beautiful live shot of the sun 1347 01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:20,160 Speaker 5: coming up in Miami this morning, sort of the inlet 1348 01:05:20,200 --> 01:05:23,400 Speaker 5: there our telephone number eighty five fives to Gaul. I'm 1349 01:05:23,440 --> 01:05:26,280 Speaker 5: in DC windy today, but not a lot of snow 1350 01:05:26,280 --> 01:05:29,520 Speaker 5: on the ground. That was mostly to the north where 1351 01:05:29,520 --> 01:05:30,600 Speaker 5: I know a lot of people are still with that 1352 01:05:30,720 --> 01:05:33,560 Speaker 5: power and really got socked with that big snow. State 1353 01:05:33,560 --> 01:05:35,960 Speaker 5: of the Union tonight, taking your calls on this, what 1354 01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:38,160 Speaker 5: you want to hear from the President, what you feel 1355 01:05:38,440 --> 01:05:41,160 Speaker 5: Congress can do, if there's anything they can do at 1356 01:05:41,160 --> 01:05:43,520 Speaker 5: this point to get you energized and enthused about the 1357 01:05:43,560 --> 01:05:46,000 Speaker 5: Republican base. The well's been poisoned by the media, There's 1358 01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:51,680 Speaker 5: no doubt about it. They always do. They're always trying 1359 01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:53,840 Speaker 5: to convey to people that things are rotten and getting 1360 01:05:53,880 --> 01:05:56,960 Speaker 5: worse when Republicans are in charge. That's not new. That's 1361 01:05:57,120 --> 01:05:59,760 Speaker 5: in time memorium that's been going on. Is it working 1362 01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:03,040 Speaker 5: or they're more alternative sources of information? And by the way, 1363 01:06:03,160 --> 01:06:07,400 Speaker 5: the answers, yes, there are. So what are they talking about? Well, 1364 01:06:07,440 --> 01:06:10,400 Speaker 5: it's interesting like Epstein, for instance, I bring up Epstein 1365 01:06:10,520 --> 01:06:13,120 Speaker 5: or I bring up you know, Israel. This is something 1366 01:06:13,120 --> 01:06:15,760 Speaker 5: that a lot of the podcasts set spends a lot 1367 01:06:15,760 --> 01:06:19,880 Speaker 5: of time talking about and so I wondered to myself, 1368 01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:22,280 Speaker 5: is that something that a lot of people cover and 1369 01:06:22,320 --> 01:06:24,800 Speaker 5: think about and talk about? And so I asked harrumfers 1370 01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:29,400 Speaker 5: because herumfers are a subset of this audience, and I 1371 01:06:29,480 --> 01:06:32,840 Speaker 5: know they're smart and thoughtful people on scientific poll but 1372 01:06:32,880 --> 01:06:35,480 Speaker 5: I asked last week on Friday at the Herrum Society 1373 01:06:35,520 --> 01:06:38,120 Speaker 5: of Harrumfers on the Epstein files, are you satisfied with 1374 01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:40,480 Speaker 5: what's out? Or is there still too much redact that 1375 01:06:40,520 --> 01:06:44,240 Speaker 5: are incomplete? And the choices were I'm satisfied Trump has 1376 01:06:44,280 --> 01:06:47,000 Speaker 5: been fully transparent. Not really, there are too many redactions, 1377 01:06:47,080 --> 01:06:50,680 Speaker 5: not at all, There's far more, or I don't really 1378 01:06:50,720 --> 01:06:54,440 Speaker 5: follow this and I'm tired of it. Those were my choices. 1379 01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:56,040 Speaker 5: I don't really follow this and I'm tired of it. 1380 01:06:56,400 --> 01:07:00,920 Speaker 5: Now ed on Epstein Harrumfers, where do you think they 1381 01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:04,280 Speaker 5: came down on this? I'm satisfied Trump's been transparent. No, 1382 01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:07,160 Speaker 5: I'm not satisfied. Too many redactions, I'm not at all satisfied. 1383 01:07:07,200 --> 01:07:09,360 Speaker 5: There's far more to learn, or I don't really follow 1384 01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:12,080 Speaker 5: this and I'm tired of it. Can you guess where 1385 01:07:12,080 --> 01:07:13,880 Speaker 5: a rumpers came down on that. I'm going to say 1386 01:07:13,880 --> 01:07:16,240 Speaker 5: the majority said I'm tired of it. I don't follow this. 1387 01:07:16,360 --> 01:07:19,360 Speaker 5: Fifty percent said I don't follow it and I'm sick 1388 01:07:19,400 --> 01:07:23,400 Speaker 5: to death of it. Half of them did wow. The 1389 01:07:23,480 --> 01:07:26,960 Speaker 5: other half were evenly split between I'm satisfied or I'm 1390 01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:29,640 Speaker 5: not at all satisfied. So about a quarter of respondents 1391 01:07:29,640 --> 01:07:33,600 Speaker 5: said there's some form of not satisfied. Three quarters said 1392 01:07:33,680 --> 01:07:36,480 Speaker 5: I'm fully satisfied or I'm not paying attention to it 1393 01:07:36,520 --> 01:07:37,360 Speaker 5: at all, i don't care. 1394 01:07:39,160 --> 01:07:41,040 Speaker 2: So people's concerns. 1395 01:07:40,560 --> 01:07:43,560 Speaker 5: Are kind of all over the map on the Republican 1396 01:07:43,920 --> 01:07:47,240 Speaker 5: conservative Trump voting side. We heard a great call from 1397 01:07:47,240 --> 01:07:50,000 Speaker 5: Michigan earlier a dad who said, I'm fifty five. I 1398 01:07:50,040 --> 01:07:51,960 Speaker 5: want to hear them talk about the Save Act. I 1399 01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:54,840 Speaker 5: want Congress to pass that sucker. His twenty five year 1400 01:07:54,840 --> 01:07:58,320 Speaker 5: old son said he wants prosecutions, and he wants them now. 1401 01:07:59,240 --> 01:08:01,760 Speaker 5: Scott's and in the Anna waiting patiently. Scott, good morning, 1402 01:08:01,760 --> 01:08:04,560 Speaker 5: welcome in picking people's brains on what could enthuse them 1403 01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:07,520 Speaker 5: about this Republican bunch in Congress or maybe the president tonight. 1404 01:08:07,600 --> 01:08:12,360 Speaker 16: Good morning, Hey Chris, good morning, I'm actually a candidate 1405 01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:15,840 Speaker 16: in fifth District, Indiana for Congress.

That's part 1411 01:08:37,560 --> 01:08:39,680 Speaker 5: of the punished. I want to see punishment. I want 1412 01:08:39,680 --> 01:08:43,040 Speaker 5: to see prosecutions.

Thank you so much. What would you 1421 01:08:58,280 --> 01:08:59,679 Speaker 5: like to hear coming out of this bunch? 1422 01:08:59,720 --> 01:09:06,479 Speaker 1: And not just see Congress nuke the philibuster because it's 1423 01:09:06,520 --> 01:09:09,920 Speaker 1: a traditional watch that you. 1424 01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:12,719 Speaker 5: Know, all right, Penny wants to see the filibuster nuked. 1425 01:09:12,880 --> 01:09:17,599 Speaker 5: Duly noted, Penny, I appreciate you.

Chris? 1428 01:09:20,360 --> 01:09:24,160 Speaker 23: My big complaint is the Congress. We got both gold 1429 01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:27,840 Speaker 23: chambers right now. Trump's got a great many executive orders 1430 01:09:27,880 --> 01:09:30,799 Speaker 23: that need to be codified, and since they got the majority, 1431 01:09:30,840 --> 01:09:33,799 Speaker 23: they better get it done because if they lose ones 1432 01:09:34,280 --> 01:09:38,240 Speaker 23: one half of the Congress there, nothing's going to get codified. 1433 01:09:38,280 --> 01:09:41,519 Speaker 23: And if they lose the presidency down the road, all 1434 01:09:41,560 --> 01:09:44,080 Speaker 23: those executive orders are probably going to get trash, just 1435 01:09:44,120 --> 01:09:45,320 Speaker 23: like Biden's got trash. 1436 01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:47,759 Speaker 5: Do you agree with Penny Nuke the filibuster, then. 1437 01:09:48,360 --> 01:09:50,720 Speaker 23: No, not at all. The ones they know they can 1438 01:09:50,760 --> 01:09:54,800 Speaker 23: get through with the fifty one percent voters through, get 1439 01:09:54,840 --> 01:09:57,519 Speaker 23: those done, Get those done now. The other ones, yeah, 1440 01:09:57,560 --> 01:10:00,160 Speaker 23: you can argue about those as you go along. They 1441 01:10:00,160 --> 01:10:02,479 Speaker 23: got to get it done there. But clock is ticking, 1442 01:10:02,920 --> 01:10:06,519 Speaker 23: and you know, you know that's the bottom line. And 1443 01:10:07,320 --> 01:10:09,519 Speaker 23: talking about the gentleman up in Michigan, I'm a little 1444 01:10:09,520 --> 01:10:12,720 Speaker 23: bit with that guy. Is I want to see prosecutions. 1445 01:10:13,080 --> 01:10:15,880 Speaker 23: It's a snake pit there in Washington. They got us 1446 01:10:15,920 --> 01:10:18,640 Speaker 23: there getting some prosecutions through. I don't care if they 1447 01:10:18,640 --> 01:10:20,040 Speaker 23: got to bring him in for Jay and walk. 1448 01:10:20,560 --> 01:10:23,200 Speaker 5: Will you be watching every minute of the President's speech tonight. 1449 01:10:23,040 --> 01:10:26,479 Speaker 23: Rick, I will watch it majority of it. I'll probably 1450 01:10:26,520 --> 01:10:28,200 Speaker 23: get a chance to take a look at it. I'm 1451 01:10:28,680 --> 01:10:31,160 Speaker 23: somebody on a podcast and some sort tomorrow. 1452 01:10:31,320 --> 01:10:33,280 Speaker 5: All right, Well, I hope it's this one.

You're looking live actually not far from 1490 01:12:16,320 --> 01:12:20,280 Speaker 5: where I'm sitting, beautiful looking sunrise, the Lincoln Memorial and 1491 01:12:20,320 --> 01:12:24,360 Speaker 5: the foreground there, the Potomac in front of it, Arlington 1492 01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:27,000 Speaker 5: just behind the Lincoln Memorial there, That's where I'm sitting 1493 01:12:27,040 --> 01:12:29,720 Speaker 5: actually tell no one though, I won't go further than 1494 01:12:29,800 --> 01:12:34,840 Speaker 5: that super secret bunker. I'm underground here. We keep it 1495 01:12:34,840 --> 01:12:37,879 Speaker 5: that way for security reasons. And then off to Capitol 1496 01:12:37,920 --> 01:12:40,720 Speaker 5: Hill a little later today, I'm going to be talking 1497 01:12:40,760 --> 01:12:43,360 Speaker 5: to Republican members of the House. They've invited us there 1498 01:12:43,800 --> 01:12:46,240 Speaker 5: to do a little pregame State of the Union talk. 1499 01:12:46,439 --> 01:12:49,360 Speaker 5: We'll be asking them a lot of questions that I've 1500 01:12:49,479 --> 01:12:52,840 Speaker 5: been hearing from you today specific to their agenda. What 1501 01:12:52,920 --> 01:12:56,559 Speaker 5: you want to see out of this Republican bunch ahead 1502 01:12:56,560 --> 01:13:00,360 Speaker 5: of the midterms. Again, the well has been poisoned. The 1503 01:13:00,360 --> 01:13:03,360 Speaker 5: gloom and doomers, the sad Sachari, the oh, the poll 1504 01:13:03,439 --> 01:13:05,639 Speaker 5: all the pub you know, they they've they've gone out 1505 01:13:05,640 --> 01:13:07,600 Speaker 5: to the street, the Washington Post and they found all 1506 01:13:07,600 --> 01:13:10,639 Speaker 5: the gloom and doom types who've said, you know, sixty 1507 01:13:10,680 --> 01:13:13,559 Speaker 5: percent are unhappy with the president's performance or whatever. Again, 1508 01:13:13,600 --> 01:13:16,360 Speaker 5: that's of adults, that's not of registered voters. Actually, his 1509 01:13:16,439 --> 01:13:19,400 Speaker 5: approval numbers of registered voters have not really changed at all. 1510 01:13:19,760 --> 01:13:22,240 Speaker 5: People that voted for the guy. It's not as though 1511 01:13:22,240 --> 01:13:24,080 Speaker 5: they changed their vote, and it's certainly not as though 1512 01:13:24,080 --> 01:13:28,000 Speaker 5: Democrats are doing any better or that they're a viable alternative. 1513 01:13:28,120 --> 01:13:31,280 Speaker 5: So the question really before us is, as you're running 1514 01:13:31,320 --> 01:13:35,080 Speaker 5: for the United States House and Senate as a Republican, 1515 01:13:35,120 --> 01:13:37,439 Speaker 5: what can you do to inspire and enthuse voters to 1516 01:13:37,479 --> 01:13:39,280 Speaker 5: turn out for you, Because one thing we do know, 1517 01:13:39,800 --> 01:13:43,599 Speaker 5: the Democrat base is wildly fired up. I mean, they 1518 01:13:43,600 --> 01:13:46,000 Speaker 5: can't wait. They're champing at the bit to go vote. 1519 01:13:46,120 --> 01:13:47,840 Speaker 5: And so I've been wondering to myself ahead of the 1520 01:13:47,840 --> 01:13:50,640 Speaker 5: State of the Union, the President and Republicans have to 1521 01:13:50,680 --> 01:13:53,920 Speaker 5: get you to a place where you feel like you 1522 01:13:53,960 --> 01:13:55,920 Speaker 5: want to go vote for them and not just sit 1523 01:13:56,000 --> 01:13:58,320 Speaker 5: it out. Because the Democrats are not sitting it out, folks, 1524 01:13:58,400 --> 01:14:01,720 Speaker 5: you know that. To talk about it. David Gerralt is 1525 01:14:01,760 --> 01:14:04,760 Speaker 5: a candidate for Congress as a matter of fact, in Wyoming. 1526 01:14:04,840 --> 01:14:09,599 Speaker 5: He is running to replace Harriet Hegeman, who is currently 1527 01:14:09,680 --> 01:14:12,800 Speaker 5: in the seat that we know was formerly held by 1528 01:14:12,840 --> 01:14:16,559 Speaker 5: Liz Cheney famously for a time. Miss Hegeman is now 1529 01:14:16,640 --> 01:14:19,120 Speaker 5: running for the Senate in Wyoming. So, mister Gerralt, it's 1530 01:14:19,120 --> 01:14:21,160 Speaker 5: a pleasure to make your acquaintance. Good morning, welcome in. 1531 01:14:22,880 --> 01:14:24,280 Speaker 26: Chris, and morning, thanks for having me. 1532 01:14:24,320 --> 01:14:27,360 Speaker 5: I appreciate it, no our pleasure to talk with you 1533 01:14:27,439 --> 01:14:29,559 Speaker 5: because This is something that's been on my mind as 1534 01:14:29,560 --> 01:14:32,320 Speaker 5: someone who sits where you sit right now and watches 1535 01:14:32,360 --> 01:14:37,080 Speaker 5: the political discourse, watches the American public and their mood 1536 01:14:37,800 --> 01:14:41,519 Speaker 5: and opinions, whether it's economy or whether it's. 1537 01:14:42,840 --> 01:14:46,160 Speaker 2: International affairs, whether it's it's and I get a lot 1538 01:14:46,160 --> 01:14:46,320 Speaker 2: of this. 1539 01:14:46,439 --> 01:14:51,080 Speaker 5: You've probably heard this too, people being punished for their misdeeds. 1540 01:14:51,120 --> 01:14:52,479 Speaker 5: A lot of people are saying they don't feel like 1541 01:14:52,479 --> 01:14:54,960 Speaker 5: they're seeing that aggressively enough. There's a lot, a lot 1542 01:14:54,960 --> 01:14:57,040 Speaker 5: of pots boiling, and I'm just curious, as a candidate, 1543 01:14:57,080 --> 01:14:59,520 Speaker 5: what are you zero in on there with your constituents 1544 01:14:59,560 --> 01:15:00,200 Speaker 5: in Wyoming. 1545 01:15:01,960 --> 01:15:03,880 Speaker 26: Yeah, you know a couple things, And as I talked 1546 01:15:03,920 --> 01:15:07,240 Speaker 26: to voters really across the state of Wyoming, we're primarily 1547 01:15:07,240 --> 01:15:11,519 Speaker 26: focused on jobs, focused on security, and focused on ensuring 1548 01:15:11,640 --> 01:15:13,320 Speaker 26: and maybe this gets to a lot of the state 1549 01:15:13,360 --> 01:15:15,760 Speaker 26: of the Union and maybe what we can expect to 1550 01:15:15,760 --> 01:15:18,360 Speaker 26: hear some of, but codifying a lot of these executive 1551 01:15:18,439 --> 01:15:22,360 Speaker 26: orders into permanent law, whether you're a business owner, whether 1552 01:15:22,400 --> 01:15:24,679 Speaker 26: you're a citizen just trying to make a living and 1553 01:15:24,800 --> 01:15:27,960 Speaker 26: you're looking for a lot of stability for your family, 1554 01:15:28,240 --> 01:15:33,080 Speaker 26: and what provides that stability is kind of providing Congress 1555 01:15:33,080 --> 01:15:37,360 Speaker 26: as a role and providing that stability from administration to administration. Now, 1556 01:15:37,640 --> 01:15:41,360 Speaker 26: Trump has done a lot of good work through executive order. 1557 01:15:41,880 --> 01:15:45,519 Speaker 26: I hear that frequently from voters across the state. Wyoming 1558 01:15:45,600 --> 01:15:48,240 Speaker 26: is probably as a district, but as a state in particular, 1559 01:15:48,680 --> 01:15:51,760 Speaker 26: one of the most Trump friendly places that you can be. 1560 01:15:52,200 --> 01:15:54,280 Speaker 26: They love it, but they just say, I want to 1561 01:15:54,280 --> 01:15:56,439 Speaker 26: see this permanent. I don't want to go back to 1562 01:15:56,439 --> 01:15:59,200 Speaker 26: where we were just two short years ago. 1563 01:16:00,479 --> 01:16:02,960 Speaker 2: I mentioned Liz Cheney. There's a funny story today. 1564 01:16:04,200 --> 01:16:08,519 Speaker 5: Not funny, haha, actually maybe more funny sad. The headline 1565 01:16:08,520 --> 01:16:13,439 Speaker 5: from ABC mister Gerald is never Trump. Republicans are still 1566 01:16:13,439 --> 01:16:17,559 Speaker 5: issuing dire warnings. Is anyone listening? Over and over? 1567 01:16:17,600 --> 01:16:17,960 Speaker 2: They write? 1568 01:16:17,960 --> 01:16:20,920 Speaker 5: The Republicans and former Republicans who gathered just outside Washington 1569 01:16:20,920 --> 01:16:23,120 Speaker 5: this past weekend warned Donald Trump and his allies in 1570 01:16:23,160 --> 01:16:26,200 Speaker 5: Congress that they're tearing at the very fabric of American democracy. 1571 01:16:26,200 --> 01:16:30,240 Speaker 5: But listen to this. Here's the punchline. The main convention 1572 01:16:30,400 --> 01:16:34,160 Speaker 5: hall at the sixth Annual Principal's First Summit this past 1573 01:16:34,160 --> 01:16:38,200 Speaker 5: weekend was half empty. About seven hundred and fifty chairs 1574 01:16:38,200 --> 01:16:41,000 Speaker 5: were set up in the room that could have fit thousands, 1575 01:16:41,400 --> 01:16:44,839 Speaker 5: and many were unfilled. Not a single current Republican elected 1576 01:16:44,840 --> 01:16:48,320 Speaker 5: official participated in the two day program. What does that 1577 01:16:48,360 --> 01:16:51,719 Speaker 5: tell us, particularly about the aforementioned Liz Cheney who occupied 1578 01:16:51,720 --> 01:16:53,080 Speaker 5: the seat for which you're running. 1579 01:16:55,520 --> 01:16:58,400 Speaker 26: I think that what happened was a lot of people 1580 01:16:58,400 --> 01:17:01,120 Speaker 26: who became very frustrated in this sort of apathies set 1581 01:17:01,120 --> 01:17:04,519 Speaker 26: in where people are kind of uninterested because of the 1582 01:17:05,600 --> 01:17:10,000 Speaker 26: I think the combative nature of everything, and people what 1583 01:17:10,160 --> 01:17:13,120 Speaker 26: they're seeing with their own eyes is not matching up 1584 01:17:13,160 --> 01:17:16,800 Speaker 26: with their pocketbooks, it's not matching up with their live reality. 1585 01:17:17,400 --> 01:17:19,559 Speaker 26: To kind of steal that term a little bit, but 1586 01:17:20,479 --> 01:17:23,519 Speaker 26: I think Americans have an incredible amount of confidence and 1587 01:17:23,560 --> 01:17:28,000 Speaker 26: what the president is doing, and they should. Everything that 1588 01:17:27,800 --> 01:17:30,559 Speaker 26: the President is doing right now is working to benefit 1589 01:17:30,880 --> 01:17:34,120 Speaker 26: working families in particular here in Wyoming. One thing that 1590 01:17:34,160 --> 01:17:39,040 Speaker 26: we're focused on is the energy sector. Wyoming stands at 1591 01:17:39,040 --> 01:17:42,400 Speaker 26: the forefront of this this energy competition, this energy expansion, 1592 01:17:42,800 --> 01:17:46,360 Speaker 26: and as we look at competitors across the globe, our 1593 01:17:46,439 --> 01:17:50,559 Speaker 26: own security here Wyoming has a vital role to play 1594 01:17:50,560 --> 01:17:54,679 Speaker 26: in that. So, you know, for Wyoming and what's important 1595 01:17:54,680 --> 01:17:57,519 Speaker 26: to us here, it's those sorts of things. 1596 01:17:58,000 --> 01:18:02,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, but that never Trump contends. Was that ever real 1597 01:18:02,000 --> 01:18:05,720 Speaker 5: in a place like Wyoming. I mean, clearly not. The 1598 01:18:05,800 --> 01:18:08,880 Speaker 5: data does not suggest that. Again, and I don't mean 1599 01:18:08,920 --> 01:18:11,679 Speaker 5: to keep pounding on this, but I mean it's She's 1600 01:18:11,760 --> 01:18:15,639 Speaker 5: probably the most famous face of the never Trump resistance movement, 1601 01:18:15,640 --> 01:18:19,280 Speaker 5: and to ABC News's point, nobody's interested in hearing from it. 1602 01:18:19,400 --> 01:18:21,680 Speaker 5: So if there is, I guess my point is, if 1603 01:18:21,680 --> 01:18:25,880 Speaker 5: there's discontent or whatever, or anger or displeasure with Donald Trump, 1604 01:18:26,400 --> 01:18:29,080 Speaker 5: it's not being shown in ballrooms where these never trumpers 1605 01:18:29,080 --> 01:18:30,160 Speaker 5: are gathering, is my point. 1606 01:18:32,320 --> 01:18:34,960 Speaker 26: I think that's right. You know, I don't remember something 1607 01:18:34,960 --> 01:18:37,479 Speaker 26: into too many ballrooms here in the state of Wyoming. 1608 01:18:38,360 --> 01:18:40,960 Speaker 26: You know, I think it's I think it's this sort 1609 01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:46,000 Speaker 26: of you know, coastal elitist opinion that is kind of 1610 01:18:46,040 --> 01:18:50,559 Speaker 26: telegraphed into the state of Wyoming. And I think, you know, 1611 01:18:51,000 --> 01:18:53,519 Speaker 26: one of the reasons to kind of go back to 1612 01:18:53,160 --> 01:18:57,040 Speaker 26: the Liz Cheney Harriet Hageman race in twenty two, there 1613 01:18:57,040 --> 01:18:59,639 Speaker 26: were people in DC who were kind of parachuting into 1614 01:18:59,680 --> 01:19:02,200 Speaker 26: the state in reporting that Liz Cheney's really got a 1615 01:19:02,280 --> 01:19:05,080 Speaker 26: chance here. If you had any friends, if you had 1616 01:19:05,080 --> 01:19:08,719 Speaker 26: any association, any association with the state of Wyoming at all, 1617 01:19:09,160 --> 01:19:11,560 Speaker 26: you would know that that was a complete and utter fabrication. 1618 01:19:12,120 --> 01:19:16,040 Speaker 5: I think that, well, like the Des Moines Register poll 1619 01:19:16,120 --> 01:19:18,879 Speaker 5: that said Kamala Harris was going to win Iowa, for example, 1620 01:19:19,000 --> 01:19:21,960 Speaker 5: that wasn't even close. That was ridiculously inaccurate. 1621 01:19:22,880 --> 01:19:27,519 Speaker 26: Yeah, just just just a razor thin race there. You know, 1622 01:19:27,720 --> 01:19:28,439 Speaker 26: it's it's. 1623 01:19:29,040 --> 01:19:31,320 Speaker 2: Well, that's what I means. How much of this is propaganda? 1624 01:19:31,479 --> 01:19:34,040 Speaker 2: This has been my point. They do this all the time. 1625 01:19:34,080 --> 01:19:37,120 Speaker 5: They convinced the American public, well, you know, we're gonna 1626 01:19:37,120 --> 01:19:39,439 Speaker 5: lose Texas, we're gonna lose Iowa, we're gonna lose Wyoming, 1627 01:19:39,479 --> 01:19:42,360 Speaker 5: and everybody's depressed and defeated. Sixty percent don't like Trump. 1628 01:19:42,400 --> 01:19:45,160 Speaker 5: It doesn't seem to bear out. Doesn't stop them from 1629 01:19:45,160 --> 01:19:46,200 Speaker 5: trying to report it though. 1630 01:19:48,280 --> 01:19:51,000 Speaker 26: Yeah, you know, maybe maybe a final comment on that. 1631 01:19:51,160 --> 01:19:54,360 Speaker 26: I think that there are so many people who I think, 1632 01:19:54,400 --> 01:19:57,400 Speaker 26: and this is no critique of polling, but maybe they're 1633 01:19:57,400 --> 01:20:00,559 Speaker 26: a little too online because I hear this too, where 1634 01:20:01,000 --> 01:20:03,439 Speaker 26: you know, going from from county to county, people say, 1635 01:20:03,760 --> 01:20:07,760 Speaker 26: you know, these guys are absolutely terrible, they're mean, or 1636 01:20:07,920 --> 01:20:11,679 Speaker 26: these guys are rhinos over here, and when you kind 1637 01:20:11,720 --> 01:20:13,800 Speaker 26: of go to a coffee shop, you do a little 1638 01:20:13,840 --> 01:20:15,960 Speaker 26: meet and greet and you just find out these are 1639 01:20:16,000 --> 01:20:18,960 Speaker 26: just these are conservative Republicans who at the end of 1640 01:20:18,960 --> 01:20:20,559 Speaker 26: the day, what they care about is their family. 1641 01:20:20,920 --> 01:20:22,640 Speaker 6: They care about having a good job. 1642 01:20:23,120 --> 01:20:26,320 Speaker 26: Being safe and secure, and ensuring that there's stability for 1643 01:20:26,439 --> 01:20:27,679 Speaker 26: them and the next generation. 1644 01:20:28,080 --> 01:20:29,439 Speaker 27: That's it. 1645 01:20:28,640 --> 01:20:30,320 Speaker 26: It's all pretty simple. 1646 01:20:30,560 --> 01:20:34,040 Speaker 5: Mister Gerrault, you were also an Army ranger eighty second Airborne. 1647 01:20:34,040 --> 01:20:37,679 Speaker 5: Thanks for your service.

I have full faith and confidence that 1656 01:21:02,040 --> 01:21:04,519 Speaker 26: the President, whatever actions he's going to take, are going 1657 01:21:04,520 --> 01:21:07,400 Speaker 26: to be targeted, they're going to be limited, and it'll 1658 01:21:07,439 --> 01:21:10,760 Speaker 26: be in the best interest of the United States. He 1659 01:21:10,920 --> 01:21:14,439 Speaker 26: is fantastic in avoiding these forever wars. You know, people, 1660 01:21:14,560 --> 01:21:17,280 Speaker 26: people kind of forget that he came in under this 1661 01:21:17,400 --> 01:21:22,000 Speaker 26: mantra of avoiding forever wars and getting out of these 1662 01:21:22,120 --> 01:21:23,680 Speaker 26: endless entanglements. 1663 01:21:24,320 --> 01:21:25,800 Speaker 2: I don't know what the president is going to do. 1664 01:21:25,960 --> 01:21:28,599 Speaker 26: That is one of his absolute strengths on the foreign 1665 01:21:28,640 --> 01:21:32,040 Speaker 26: policy front. But I have an incredible amount of confidence 1666 01:21:32,360 --> 01:21:33,880 Speaker 26: in him, and I think the rest of the American 1667 01:21:33,880 --> 01:21:34,599 Speaker 26: people should too. 1668 01:21:35,479 --> 01:21:38,200 Speaker 5: How can people be helpful to you, mister Gerralt there 1669 01:21:38,240 --> 01:21:41,920 Speaker 5: in Wyoming.

Barb said, that's what they should stretch, 1740 01:25:00,120 --> 01:25:05,920 Speaker 5: that impeachment is coming if Republicans don't keep control. Let's 1741 01:25:05,960 --> 01:25:09,719 Speaker 5: see Tamara says, you know what would get people's attention 1742 01:25:09,840 --> 01:25:12,240 Speaker 5: and get them out the vote.

The 1744 01:25:20,280 --> 01:25:23,080 Speaker 5: economy and people talking about housing, people talking about credit. 1745 01:25:23,120 --> 01:25:25,240 Speaker 5: We had a call from Eerie Earlier, she said she 1746 01:25:25,280 --> 01:25:27,799 Speaker 5: wants to hear the president cap interest on credit cards 1747 01:25:28,439 --> 01:25:30,760 Speaker 5: ten percent. I have the stick All plan, you know, 1748 01:25:30,880 --> 01:25:35,240 Speaker 5: which is pretty easy. It's pretty basic. Private sector wealthy 1749 01:25:35,280 --> 01:25:41,280 Speaker 5: individuals getting tax breaks if they fund lending to first 1750 01:25:41,280 --> 01:25:44,200 Speaker 5: time home buyers who could also roll their student loan 1751 01:25:44,320 --> 01:25:49,559 Speaker 5: balances into a home lending situation. I think it's one 1752 01:25:49,560 --> 01:25:53,240 Speaker 5: of the easiest, simplest ways to turn people of means 1753 01:25:53,880 --> 01:25:56,720 Speaker 5: into the white hat instead of the black hat. And 1754 01:25:56,760 --> 01:25:59,400 Speaker 5: at the same time give people who are younger strapped 1755 01:25:59,400 --> 01:26:02,599 Speaker 5: with student loan debt and can't get into the housing market, 1756 01:26:02,600 --> 01:26:05,320 Speaker 5: give them an opportunity to get a qualified loan and 1757 01:26:05,479 --> 01:26:09,000 Speaker 5: pay an affordable rate for both a home and their 1758 01:26:09,000 --> 01:26:10,920 Speaker 5: student loan debt. Roll it all into one and let 1759 01:26:10,960 --> 01:26:14,800 Speaker 5: it be financed privately by private sector wealthy folks. Give 1760 01:26:14,800 --> 01:26:17,439 Speaker 5: them a tax advantage to do so. That's the stick 1761 01:26:17,439 --> 01:26:19,760 Speaker 5: All plan in a nutshell. I think that solves a 1762 01:26:19,760 --> 01:26:22,719 Speaker 5: lot of problems personally. Kelly in Maine, Hey, Kelly, good morning, 1763 01:26:22,720 --> 01:26:24,080 Speaker 5: what's on your mind?

I wondered, Steve, if 1811 01:28:43,400 --> 01:28:46,240 Speaker 5: you had President Trump's ear and we're helping craft this 1812 01:28:46,320 --> 01:28:49,679 Speaker 5: speech tonight, what would you have him say? Good morning? 1813 01:28:50,280 --> 01:28:51,519 Speaker 29: Haha, good morning, Chris Well. 1814 01:28:51,520 --> 01:28:54,519 Speaker 4: I did get together with the President last week and 1815 01:28:54,560 --> 01:28:56,200 Speaker 4: we did talk. And by the way, I bet that's 1816 01:28:56,200 --> 01:28:58,920 Speaker 4: where you're headed is the Oval Office. I wouldn't be surprised. 1817 01:29:00,280 --> 01:29:03,920 Speaker 4: We spent about forty five minutes together and I told them, look, 1818 01:29:03,960 --> 01:29:06,240 Speaker 4: you've got to hell of a story to tell, mister President. 1819 01:29:06,320 --> 01:29:07,519 Speaker 29: You've got, you. 1820 01:29:07,439 --> 01:29:12,559 Speaker 4: Know, rising incomes, declining inflation. The big tax cut is 1821 01:29:12,560 --> 01:29:15,400 Speaker 4: putting more money people into wallets, so the American people. 1822 01:29:15,479 --> 01:29:18,839 Speaker 4: Gas prices are down. The stock market hit fifty thousand. 1823 01:29:19,160 --> 01:29:20,960 Speaker 4: Now it has fallen a little bit in the last 1824 01:29:20,960 --> 01:29:24,200 Speaker 4: few days, but it's still at our near record highs. 1825 01:29:24,520 --> 01:29:28,040 Speaker 4: People's four one K plans have seen nice increases. So 1826 01:29:28,400 --> 01:29:33,040 Speaker 4: it's a great story to tell. And it contrasts so 1827 01:29:33,120 --> 01:29:36,880 Speaker 4: much with the Biden years, which were just deplorable for families, 1828 01:29:36,880 --> 01:29:38,760 Speaker 4: you know, in terms of the loss of income and 1829 01:29:38,800 --> 01:29:41,599 Speaker 4: the Remember we had nine percent inflation, so I think 1830 01:29:41,640 --> 01:29:43,720 Speaker 4: this president is going to do exactly what you just. 1831 01:29:43,680 --> 01:29:44,240 Speaker 29: Said, Chris. 1832 01:29:44,240 --> 01:29:47,840 Speaker 4: I think he's going to really tout his economic achievements 1833 01:29:47,920 --> 01:29:51,360 Speaker 4: as he should, and he's going to have his game 1834 01:29:51,400 --> 01:29:52,120 Speaker 4: base on today. 1835 01:29:52,840 --> 01:29:53,679 Speaker 29: It's going to be very peaid. 1836 01:29:53,680 --> 01:29:56,080 Speaker 4: By the way, it's going to be a very patriotic speech. 1837 01:29:56,160 --> 01:30:00,360 Speaker 4: I mean, I'm still I'm just still just all a 1838 01:30:00,400 --> 01:30:02,920 Speaker 4: glow about the big win on so Sunday, and I 1839 01:30:02,960 --> 01:30:06,080 Speaker 4: know the whole country is. And last night my family 1840 01:30:06,120 --> 01:30:10,519 Speaker 4: and I sat, we sat and watched that movie about 1841 01:30:10,520 --> 01:30:13,439 Speaker 4: the Yeah. 1842 01:30:13,560 --> 01:30:14,320 Speaker 29: Yeah, exactly. 1843 01:30:14,400 --> 01:30:16,040 Speaker 4: So it just it just makes you proud to be 1844 01:30:16,120 --> 01:30:19,040 Speaker 4: an American. And Trump, I think will really celebrate what 1845 01:30:19,880 --> 01:30:20,960 Speaker 4: America that is back. 1846 01:30:21,280 --> 01:30:22,920 Speaker 29: We're back, folks, Yes. 1847 01:30:22,840 --> 01:30:23,200 Speaker 2: Steve O. 1848 01:30:23,920 --> 01:30:26,519 Speaker 5: The thing is, you know, perception is reality. I don't 1849 01:30:26,520 --> 01:30:29,400 Speaker 5: know really anymore. It's it's funny. A friend of mine said, 1850 01:30:29,400 --> 01:30:31,639 Speaker 5: I'm so glad you're doing the show you're doing today, Stigall, 1851 01:30:31,760 --> 01:30:35,559 Speaker 5: because I don't I don't really know too much about 1852 01:30:35,560 --> 01:30:40,880 Speaker 5: what real people who aren't politically active and online, just 1853 01:30:41,000 --> 01:30:42,920 Speaker 5: folks that listen to the show. I mean, I've been 1854 01:30:42,920 --> 01:30:45,559 Speaker 5: opening the phones today asking people what do you want 1855 01:30:45,600 --> 01:30:47,120 Speaker 5: to hear? What do you want to hear the president say, 1856 01:30:47,120 --> 01:30:49,719 Speaker 5: what do you want Congress to do a good number 1857 01:30:49,760 --> 01:30:51,280 Speaker 5: of them say the same act, but a number of 1858 01:30:51,320 --> 01:30:53,960 Speaker 5: them have said things like cap interest on credit cards, 1859 01:30:54,080 --> 01:30:56,799 Speaker 5: or make housing more affordable, or stop these big companies 1860 01:30:56,800 --> 01:31:00,439 Speaker 5: from buying up a bunch of homes. So the reception 1861 01:31:00,640 --> 01:31:03,719 Speaker 5: is that people are upset with President Trump, who voted 1862 01:31:03,720 --> 01:31:05,720 Speaker 5: for him, but they maybe still feel squeezed. 1863 01:31:06,320 --> 01:31:08,800 Speaker 2: Is that fair to say? And what does the president do? 1864 01:31:08,920 --> 01:31:12,160 Speaker 5: How does he acknowledge that without sounding like things are 1865 01:31:12,479 --> 01:31:14,599 Speaker 5: grim because you just described a lot of good stuff. 1866 01:31:15,360 --> 01:31:17,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, well, first of all, he does have to talk 1867 01:31:17,200 --> 01:31:19,200 Speaker 4: the good news because that just doesn't get out there. 1868 01:31:19,200 --> 01:31:21,400 Speaker 4: And the media, you know, the media is all filled 1869 01:31:21,439 --> 01:31:25,439 Speaker 4: with doom and gloom at a time when people, not everyone, 1870 01:31:25,520 --> 01:31:28,599 Speaker 4: but most middle income families are doing better. We estimate 1871 01:31:28,640 --> 01:31:30,920 Speaker 4: that one of the charts I gave President Trump was 1872 01:31:30,960 --> 01:31:33,439 Speaker 4: that I'm going to send it to you, Chris, that 1873 01:31:33,840 --> 01:31:37,400 Speaker 4: if you look at median family income people in the 1874 01:31:37,439 --> 01:31:40,040 Speaker 4: middle in Trump's first year in office, it was up 1875 01:31:40,080 --> 01:31:43,719 Speaker 4: twenty four hundred dollars last year. That's a that's after inflation. 1876 01:31:43,800 --> 01:31:46,160 Speaker 4: That's a pretty nice gain. And then you add to 1877 01:31:46,200 --> 01:31:49,600 Speaker 4: that the sixteen hundred dollars people are saving on their taxes. 1878 01:31:50,560 --> 01:31:52,360 Speaker 4: You know, you're talking about a three or four thousand 1879 01:31:52,400 --> 01:31:53,600 Speaker 4: dollars increase. 1880 01:31:53,720 --> 01:31:55,640 Speaker 29: In their affordability. 1881 01:31:55,720 --> 01:31:58,559 Speaker 4: They're ability to buy things. 1882 01:31:58,600 --> 01:31:58,800 Speaker 11: Now. 1883 01:31:59,000 --> 01:32:02,080 Speaker 4: I understand people are angry about groceries. I think people 1884 01:32:02,120 --> 01:32:04,320 Speaker 4: are angry about you know, what is a cost to 1885 01:32:04,320 --> 01:32:07,240 Speaker 4: buy a Hamburger mistake. These days, people are angry about 1886 01:32:07,560 --> 01:32:11,479 Speaker 4: housing costs which are very high, and healthcare because the 1887 01:32:11,520 --> 01:32:14,960 Speaker 4: Affordable Care Act was anything but affordable. But Trump is 1888 01:32:14,960 --> 01:32:17,439 Speaker 4: on the job and he's going to bring those prices down, 1889 01:32:17,600 --> 01:32:19,720 Speaker 4: or at least not at least he's going to bring 1890 01:32:19,760 --> 01:32:22,680 Speaker 4: the inflation rate substantially down, as he already has. 1891 01:32:23,240 --> 01:32:24,920 Speaker 2: Remember Steve started to interrupt. 1892 01:32:25,000 --> 01:32:27,880 Speaker 5: Is the key though, for him to say, over here 1893 01:32:27,960 --> 01:32:30,200 Speaker 5: is this basket of really good stuff that you just 1894 01:32:30,280 --> 01:32:32,839 Speaker 5: ticked off. But over here's this basket that I understand 1895 01:32:32,920 --> 01:32:35,200 Speaker 5: is really pinching you. And I hear you, and I 1896 01:32:35,240 --> 01:32:37,479 Speaker 5: get it. That's what he's got to do, right that balance. 1897 01:32:38,000 --> 01:32:38,240 Speaker 16: Yeah. 1898 01:32:38,320 --> 01:32:41,320 Speaker 4: You know, I hate to quote Bill Clinton, but remember 1899 01:32:41,320 --> 01:32:44,080 Speaker 4: what Bill Clinton said so famously, I feel your pain. 1900 01:32:44,640 --> 01:32:46,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, and that was a good line. 1901 01:32:46,040 --> 01:32:48,120 Speaker 4: I have to say, you know, so I think maybe 1902 01:32:48,160 --> 01:32:49,240 Speaker 4: a little bit of I feel your pain. 1903 01:32:49,280 --> 01:32:51,880 Speaker 29: I understand a lot of your struggling. We're on the job. 1904 01:32:52,240 --> 01:32:54,760 Speaker 4: You know, the Democrats have not helped they every day. 1905 01:32:54,760 --> 01:32:56,439 Speaker 4: I mean, one of the things he should say is 1906 01:32:56,640 --> 01:33:00,519 Speaker 4: maybe shake his finger at those Democrats and if they 1907 01:33:00,560 --> 01:33:03,720 Speaker 4: show up, Christs are going to show up. 1908 01:33:03,880 --> 01:33:05,960 Speaker 29: But if they do, we should say, you know, what's 1909 01:33:06,000 --> 01:33:06,799 Speaker 29: with you people? 1910 01:33:07,040 --> 01:33:10,800 Speaker 4: Every one of you voted against a tax cut, which 1911 01:33:10,840 --> 01:33:13,000 Speaker 4: is about two thousand dollars per family. 1912 01:33:13,080 --> 01:33:13,639 Speaker 29: What gives? 1913 01:33:13,680 --> 01:33:14,400 Speaker 2: Why would you? 1914 01:33:14,400 --> 01:33:14,600 Speaker 5: You know? 1915 01:33:14,640 --> 01:33:17,120 Speaker 4: Were you against the middle class because that was a 1916 01:33:17,120 --> 01:33:18,320 Speaker 4: middle class tax cut. 1917 01:33:18,400 --> 01:33:21,040 Speaker 5: Chris Steven do you think I've introduced you to the 1918 01:33:21,080 --> 01:33:24,599 Speaker 5: stagaul plan before? Maybe I'm naive. I don't understand finance 1919 01:33:24,640 --> 01:33:27,040 Speaker 5: the way you do. But I've often thought if wealthy 1920 01:33:27,080 --> 01:33:31,080 Speaker 5: people could finance, subsidize, and benefit through the tax code, 1921 01:33:31,120 --> 01:33:35,960 Speaker 5: subsidize lending. If wealthy individuals could subsidize lending, you could 1922 01:33:35,960 --> 01:33:38,880 Speaker 5: take this student loan default problem that is apparently on 1923 01:33:38,920 --> 01:33:42,000 Speaker 5: the rise. That's another story today student loan defaults are 1924 01:33:42,160 --> 01:33:44,599 Speaker 5: increasing and younger people are not able to get into 1925 01:33:44,640 --> 01:33:49,320 Speaker 5: that first home. Could we engage private sector wealth to 1926 01:33:49,479 --> 01:33:53,160 Speaker 5: lend to those folks and maybe even roll student dead 1927 01:33:53,200 --> 01:33:55,559 Speaker 5: into it. You know what I'm saying, maybe they create 1928 01:33:55,680 --> 01:33:58,679 Speaker 5: a lending situation where somebody could get that first home 1929 01:33:58,720 --> 01:34:00,479 Speaker 5: and roll some student lending in and do it, come 1930 01:34:00,520 --> 01:34:03,599 Speaker 5: up with an affordable payment plan, subsidize it with wealthy 1931 01:34:03,640 --> 01:34:06,800 Speaker 5: folks through the tax code. It's a thought, It's just 1932 01:34:06,840 --> 01:34:08,759 Speaker 5: a wild thought. But is there a way to turn 1933 01:34:09,200 --> 01:34:12,240 Speaker 5: private capital into the hero of those struggling. 1934 01:34:12,320 --> 01:34:14,920 Speaker 4: Well, what I would say on the student loan issue 1935 01:34:14,960 --> 01:34:17,519 Speaker 4: is when you talk about wealth, what about the wealth 1936 01:34:17,560 --> 01:34:19,920 Speaker 4: of these universities. I mean, my god, they're sitting out 1937 01:34:20,000 --> 01:34:24,200 Speaker 4: one trillion dollars of endowments, one trillion. It's near criminal 1938 01:34:24,560 --> 01:34:29,680 Speaker 4: that these flabby, you know, incredibly rich universities around the 1939 01:34:29,680 --> 01:34:33,080 Speaker 4: country are sitting on these piles of cash while they're 1940 01:34:33,240 --> 01:34:37,839 Speaker 4: we're charging families two hundred thousand dollars over four years 1941 01:34:37,880 --> 01:34:40,559 Speaker 4: for tuition. I mean, it is really outrageous. So I 1942 01:34:40,960 --> 01:34:43,320 Speaker 4: would favor let's go after that. By the way, that 1943 01:34:43,360 --> 01:34:46,519 Speaker 4: money was never taxed. I'm a low tax guy, you know, Chris, 1944 01:34:46,560 --> 01:34:49,000 Speaker 4: But I do believe everybody should pay their fair share. 1945 01:34:49,200 --> 01:34:51,719 Speaker 4: The universities don't.
