Speaker 2: Thank you. There are a lot of people that work

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

00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,839

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

47
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 2: money and keep you covered in health insurance, but you've

48
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 2: got to make the call eight seven seven four one

49
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 2: zero forty three twenty one eight seven seven four one

50
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 2: zero forty three twenty one or US Medical Plan dot Com.

51
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 2: I'd say even the equipment around here knows it's the

52
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 2: end of the year. Everything's just shutting down on me. Hey,

53
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 2: good morning, Glad to have you folks. Welcome in on

54
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 2: this Friday edition of The stickgall Show and Merry Christmas.

55
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 2: Literally all my equipment every morning I come in, my equipment,

56
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 2: my computer screens, they're all going no new passwords, shutting down, deactivating, relaunching, updating.

57
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 2: They want to quit fascinating with no quit in us,

58
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, we are barreling toward the Christmas season

59
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 2: and we are still here, and we're going to be

60
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 2: here next week too. You know, some shows, lesser shows

61
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 2: might just take all of next week off. Not this one.

62
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 2: This team cannot stop coming to you and broadcasting and

63
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 2: giving you quality entertainment and information that you count on.

64
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 2: We're going to be here even Monday and Tuesday. There's

65
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 2: no quit here. Now there's nothing we can do because

66
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 2: President Trump is officially now made Christmas Eve a national holiday.

67
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 2: So we're going to have to, with respect to the

68
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 2: new orders, fest that he take Christmas Eve off. I

69
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 2: think it's just the right thing to do. Now that

70
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 2: President Trump is declared in a national holiday, we should

71
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 2: take Christmas Eve off and the day after Christmas as well.

72
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 2: So by order of the President, we will have to

73
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 2: be away on Christmas Eve as well as the day

74
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 2: after Christmas. So as a show, I'd like to just

75
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 2: pass on to all of you from the President of

76
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 2: the United States. Enjoy your time away, Chris.

77
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 7: Yes, we hear for Trump here around here, and we

78
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 7: want to take his orders very seriously, not make his

79
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 7: end of year any more of a hassle than.

80
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 2: It needs to be out. You know, we will not

81
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 2: as for us as for me and my house, we

82
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 2: will respect an honor the edict from President of the

83
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 2: United States and take the nationally sanctioned holiday of Now

84
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 2: what do you think of that? In all sincerity? I

85
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 2: was in line talking to a small business owner yesterday

86
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 2: and I pop up on my phone that he had

87
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 2: signed the executive order to give everybody. Well, I say,

88
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 2: give everybody. It would be a federal holiday, meaning I

89
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 2: suppose anybody that worked for the federal government. That means

90
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 2: your bank and that sort of thing. Christmas even the

91
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 2: day after Christmas now a sanctioned federal holiday by executive

92
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 2: order from the President. And I said to this person

93
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 2: behind the counter of her small business, I said it

94
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 2: had just popped up. I said, oh, at Christmas, even

95
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 2: the day after. And she said, what doesn't affect me?

96
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 2: She kind of grumbled, because you know, she runs a

97
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 2: small business. I said, well, I guess that's true. It's

98
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 2: for banks and stuff like that. She goes, oh, the bank.

99
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 2: She goes, well, I guess it will affect me. She

100
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 2: got really ticked. She goes, you know what that means.

101
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 2: That means when I make deposits for my business, I'm

102
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 2: not going to see a deposit hit until like Sunday night.

103
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 2: I'm not going to be able to access any money

104
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 2: to Monday now. So she was kind of frosted by it.

105
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 2: Ed she said, I'm not taking the holidays off, but

106
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 2: now the banks are going to be shut.

107
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 7: That is I don't know, that's a painting, but as

108
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 7: far as you know, twenty twenty six goes we have

109
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 7: the one big, beautiful bill, which means no tax on overtime.

110
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 7: So if you want to volunteer to work, say your

111
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 7: company isn't closed, it's just like, look, we can't close, right,

112
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 7: and they say, hey, but you'll get time and a.

113
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 2: Half, you'll get overtime whatever. Now it's not going to

114
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 2: be taxed.

115
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 7: So I actually like this a lot. This is economically sound.

116
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 2: I think, Look, certainly, there's not a government worker that's

117
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 2: going to complain. We all know that. I'm just having

118
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 2: a little fun with you people I'm having but don't

119
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 2: send me the hate mail. I know you're a hard

120
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 2: working government employee. How there I insult you. Just calm down.

121
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 2: I can already hear people pounding out on the keyboard,

122
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 2: just having a little fun. But that's the government effectively

123
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 2: shuts down for three days Christmas Eve. I mean, not

124
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 2: that anybody was working those days anyway, but you get it.

125
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 2: What do you make of this too? While we're at it, Like,

126
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 2: I know there's some bigger news to get to, but

127
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 2: I just thought it would be fun to start on

128
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 2: a Friday. By the way, it's also open line Friday,

129
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 2: which means if you'd like to get in here at

130
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 2: eight five five s to go, all talk about that

131
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 2: or whatever you want, have at it. Anything goes on

132
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 2: open line Friday. It's the tradition that rush started so

133
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 2: long that we want to keep alive. If there's something

134
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 2: on your mind, today's the day to call in and

135
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 2: do it. At eight five five s to go. You

136
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 2: get right to the top of the line, got a

137
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 2: line open for you. President Trump continues to poke, and

138
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 2: he's trying to poke well into the future, whether he's

139
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 2: going to have a third term or not. This is

140
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 2: this is Trump's way of ensuring they're going to be

141
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 2: talking about him long after he leaves. Every time they

142
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 2: move to slap his name on something, or he puts

143
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 2: up photos, or he puts up new placards, you do

144
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 2: realize he understands. I saw some people on our side,

145
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 2: the you know, the very stuffed shirt Colognan cuffling, very

146
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 2: smart rhino crowd yesterday on X saying this is this

147
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 2: is unseemly changing the name of the Kennedy Center, and

148
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 2: I just I laughed. First of all, Americans don't care.

149
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 2: It's these institutionalists that can you know. Rheas Shreiver was

150
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 2: very upset that they slapped Trump's name in front of

151
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,359
Speaker 2: Kennedy and called up the Trump Kennedy Center. Now the

152
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 2: board voted for that. Does that make you mad?

153
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 4: Ed?

154
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 2: Do you think average Americans are losing sleep over it

155
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 2: now being called the Trump Kennedy Center, as voted on

156
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 2: by the new board of the Kennedy Center.

157
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 7: No, And they don't even have the same anger that

158
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 7: I do towards I remember when they got twenty five

159
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 7: million dollars doing the Cares Act the Kennedy Center.

160
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 2: It's just like, yes, screw them, Like, well, look, yeah,

161
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 2: this is an institution full of a bunch of left

162
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 2: wing loons. Originally they all hated Trump. Trump didn't even

163
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 2: walk into that building his first term. To my knowledge,

164
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 2: I think that's right. It was full of a just

165
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 2: a ton of haters, purple haired, weirdo artsy FARTSI freaks,

166
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 2: you know the type. Yeah, they dressed in goth and

167
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 2: wore eyeliner in high school, long black coats, you know,

168
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 2: potentially packing it's in the schools. It's that type. And

169
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 2: then and they turned into artists, you know, and they

170
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 2: put on stage plays and you know, smeared feces and

171
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 2: called it art and you know, and at all costs whatever.

172
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 2: Whenever a crowd was gathered, they put on a show

173
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 2: and attacked Trump and Republicans. At the close, you know,

174
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 2: the curtain would fall and they'd take a bow, and

175
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 2: then they got Republicans suck good night, everybody. It was that,

176
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 2: and it was taxpayer funded. I assumed I was not

177
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 2: welcome in the Kennedy Center. That's how kind of vile

178
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 2: I always thought the thing was. Anytime I ever saw

179
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 2: it on television, it was on PBS, and it was

180
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 2: a bunch of people like Robert de Niro and other

181
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 2: left wingers patting one another on the back and making

182
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 2: jokes about how rotten Republicans and Trump were. I literally

183
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 2: assumed the Kennedy Center was just a Democrat artsy fartsy club.

184
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 2: I had no idea it was an open to public

185
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 2: space for the taxpayer and the average American citizen. Until

186
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 2: Rick Grennell took it over. The whole board was blown

187
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 2: out or walked. A huge injection of private funds came

188
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 2: into the thing. I just took Christine Beck in what

189
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 2: was it late September to see the sound of music.

190
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 2: We met little Gretel, the real Gretel from the movie

191
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 2: The Sound of Music. We met her. It was great,

192
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 2: a great all American show, patriotism, happiness, people smiling. There's

193
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 2: a whole new board, and so the whole new board voted.

194
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 2: By the way they're polishing the place up, the thing

195
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 2: was dilapidated, it wasn't being well cared for. It was

196
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 2: in the red on top of it all because Democrats

197
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 2: can't manage money. So in came a business person, an

198
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 2: American business person, American loving business person, a patriotic, American

199
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 2: loving business person, Rick Grennell. Backed by the President. They

200
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 2: appoint an all new board. They have an infusion of

201
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 2: millions in cash. They polish the thing up, They bring

202
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 2: in shows the American public wants to see, and woila

203
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, it's a great American institution. And

204
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 2: the board votes yesterday. Let's call this the Trump Kennedy

205
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 2: Center now. And they're mad as hell about it. Ed

206
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 2: they are fury. Maria Shriver said, you know, I try

207
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 2: not to come on these things, but it's getting difficult

208
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 2: to hold my tongue. And I heard more than a

209
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 2: few Republicans, supposedly Republicans who voted for Trump, said, what

210
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 2: it is is just this is unnecessary, This is just

211
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 2: you just this is just provoccate prevarication. And I thought

212
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 2: to me, and they said, and don't be I saw

213
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,439
Speaker 2: somebody say don't be mad when in a few years

214
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 2: they take his name off of it again and go

215
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 2: back to calling it the Kennedy Center. He's also put

216
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 2: up a bunch of these pictures, as you know, down

217
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 2: the portico near the Rose Garden, of all the presidents,

218
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 2: and he's just got the photo of the pen for

219
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 2: Joe Biden. And now he's ordered these plaques and they

220
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 2: look like permanent plaques. I mean, like nice you know,

221
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 2: bronze plaques with descriptions of all the presidents that they

222
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 2: have now affixed to the wall underneath the portico of

223
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 2: all the president's pictures. That have you read some of

224
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 2: the descriptions of these I have. Yeah.

225
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 7: It's like Biden, I think is the worst president in history.

226
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 2: I think he calls Obama the most divisive. Not he

227
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 2: they're on the plaques. Well I'm certain he wrote it.

228
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 2: They read like a truth social post too. I mean

229
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 2: they're literally you know, strange words capitalized and what not,

230
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 2: the way Trump posts on truth social Mister Trump conceived, built,

231
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 2: and dedicated the Walk of Fame, according to one of

232
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 2: the plaques, as a tribute to past president's good, bad,

233
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 2: and somewhere in the middle who served our country and

234
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 2: gave up so much in doing so. The Walk of

235
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 2: Fame has already received plenty of attention rights the Washington

236
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 2: Times over the picture chosen for Joe Biden, the auto pen.

237
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 2: The plaque underneath mister Biden's photo says, sleepy, Joe Biden

238
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 2: was by far the worst president and American history, taking

239
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 2: office as a result of the most corrupt election ever

240
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 2: seen in the United States. Biden oversaw a series of

241
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 2: unprecedented disasters that brought our nation to the brink of destruction.

242
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 2: So I saw people say, this is just unnecessarily provocative,

243
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,439
Speaker 2: and don't get mad, and don't be surprised when the

244
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 2: next guy comes in and rips all this stuff down

245
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,959
Speaker 2: and changes it back. Are you going to be mad

246
00:11:58,040 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 2: or surprised or ticked off when the next guy comes

247
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 2: in and rips it all down and changes it all back?

248
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 7: Me personally, no, because I've, like you said, going into this,

249
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 7: I don't care about the Kennedy Center. I never did

250
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 7: when I was a little kid. I didn't aspire to

251
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 7: be on the Kennedy Center stage or anything like that.

252
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 7: It's most Americans don't they know what it is. They've

253
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 7: heard it before, but they don't know losing sleep over it.

254
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 2: No they're not. But I mean when somebody comes in

255
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 2: and takes it all down, when they change it back

256
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,199
Speaker 2: to the Kennedy Center, that's not gonna upset you. You're

257
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:29,719
Speaker 2: not gonna get mad. You're not gonna say how dare

258
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 2: they disrespect Trump like that? Because that's what's coming. Of

259
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,199
Speaker 2: course that's true. I saw people saying, you do understand

260
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 2: that whenever the next guy comes in that's not a Republican,

261
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,079
Speaker 2: they're just gonna rip all this down and change it back,

262
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 2: and you're gonna all scream and yell about it. And

263
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 2: you better not. Said somebody admonishing everyone online last night,

264
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 2: and I thought, I don't think that's where most of

265
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 2: us are now.

266
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 7: I have enough things to be pissed off about in

267
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 7: the day. When they come and they rip it down,

268
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 7: I'm just gonna laugh and be like, remember when Trump

269
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 7: named the Kennedy Center to Trump Kennedy Center.

270
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 2: And that's what it is. Do you think he doesn't

271
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 2: know they're gonna come in and rip it all down

272
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 2: and change it back. He just knows he'll be a

273
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,599
Speaker 2: news story well into the next presidency if it's not

274
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 2: jd Vance, which is fully their intention. More in a minute.

275
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 2: You a powerball player, fast Eddie? Do you buy one

276
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 2: of these tickets? The jackpot is now one point five

277
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 2: billion dollars. I don't. I stop paying attention, but I

278
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 2: know that every now and again when I walk into

279
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 2: the convenience store, I see that the little sign above

280
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,839
Speaker 2: the machine just says nine nine nine nine because it

281
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 2: runs out of room. So I assumed it was in

282
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 2: the billion. Now now, I usually so I actually did.

283
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 7: I administered lottery the lottery machine when I worked at

284
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 7: a beer distributor through college, and I actually I saw

285
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 7: the lottery is a pretty dangerous thing because people playing

286
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 7: it in the addiction. But I'm starting to warm to it.

287
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 7: I think, if we're talking billion, what the heck?

288
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 2: You'll try five bucks?

289
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 8: What the heck?

290
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 2: So that's tonight, right, don't they do? Is that every Monday, Wednesday,

291
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,599
Speaker 2: Friday or something like that. Yeah, it's Saturday.

292
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, Megan millions is like Tuesday and something Tuesday Friday

293
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 7: and power balls Wednesday and Saturday like that million yesterday.

294
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 2: The tragic just awful. I mean, I didn't know much

295
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,199
Speaker 2: about this individual, but he and his young family. Greg Biffle,

296
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 2: if you're a NASCAR fan, I did not know. I

297
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 2: know the name, but I don't follow NASCAR. But this

298
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 2: plane crash, a plane crash in North Carolina, the regional

299
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 2: airport there has killed NASCAR driver Greg Biffle, as well

300
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 2: as several others. I guess the pilot and co pilots.

301
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 2: North Carolina Highway Patrol said that Biffle and members of

302
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 2: his immediate family have perished in the crash. The agency

303
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 2: said seven people in total were killed. It was him

304
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 2: and his wife and two very young kids on their

305
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 2: way to Florida for the day. I guess to visit

306
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 2: a friend or something like that, but I just I can't,

307
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 2: I guess. The wife of Greg Biffle texted her mother

308
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 2: just before it happened and said, things are bad or

309
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 2: what have you. But I don't know, I things like that.

310
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 2: You know, here we are, what five days out from Christmas,

311
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 2: and I just that's can you. I don't. I can't

312
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 2: even get my head wrapped around it. And of course

313
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 2: then there's this finally some solution to this shooter at

314
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 2: Brown University who also killed him. Well, I shouldn't say. Also,

315
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 2: have they concluded yet or not? I went to bed

316
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 2: because I couldn't quite I was getting exhausted with trying

317
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 2: to watch the coverage of it. Have they concluded that

318
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 2: this professor at MIT is the same killed by the

319
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 2: same guy or not? Or have they not gone that

320
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 2: far yet?

321
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 7: I Chris, I'm not being conspiratorial. I don't know that

322
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 7: they've confirmed. They said that they are linked in news stories,

323
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 7: but at least of the stories that I've read, But

324
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 7: as far as confirming it, like I wouldn't be surprised

325
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 7: if if that comes back, I don't know.

326
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 2: I don't believe. Yeah, the body, the body of a

327
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 2: man suspected, and the killing of two students at Brown

328
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 2: University and an MIT professor again suspected, but it's just

329
00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 2: been back and forth as to whether, I mean, so

330
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 2: are they is the suggestion that he opens fire on

331
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 2: the campus of Brown, then drives north almost immediately and

332
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 2: assassinates a professor at MIT, is that what they're saying,

333
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 2: and then he heads to this storage facility where they

334
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 2: ultimately end up cornering him and he kills himself inside

335
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 2: the storage facility as they swatted it in New Hampshire. Salem,

336
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 2: New Hampshire is where they found his dead body in

337
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 2: this storage facility last night. But that's what they're assessing

338
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 2: that he just opened fire at Brown, then drove up

339
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 2: the mit, killed this professor, then went to a storage

340
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 2: facility killed himself.

341
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 7: Yeap, that pretty much.

342
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 2: Yeah. Claudio Manuel Nuevas Valente is who he is, forty

343
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 2: eight years old, Peruvian. I believe they say as was

344
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 2: this professor he killed. So there's gonna be a lot

345
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 2: to unpack on that story. Moren a minute open line

346
00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 2: Friday today at eight five five Stagall. Let's do it.

Speaker 9: Yes, sir, and like I say, I wouldn't name other names,

355
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 9: but I really wish you would take the lead on

356
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 9: one of those wonderful trips one day.

357
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 2: This isn't my mother, is it. I just want everyone

358
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 2: to know this is not my mother calling.

359
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 9: Ill right, No, no're not related.

360
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 2: That's very sweet of you, know, in all sincerity I had.

361
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 2: I had so much fun. And that was a last

362
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 2: minute invitation, you know, because one of the hosts couldn't

363
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 2: even go, and so they called Stigall off the bench

364
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 2: and said, hey, can you come fill in? And so

365
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 2: I was purely just a tag along, fill in stowaway guy,

366
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 2: and I got to I didn't even have to work

367
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 2: that hard. So I had a blast. Frankly, Mary, thank

368
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 2: you so much.

369
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 9: You're welcome. And we had a bus having you there.

370
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 9: And I am one of those people that can see

371
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:08,400
Speaker 9: the rural route carrier throwing the mail out the window

372
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 9: from his beat up pickets up truck in the Funny Farm.

373
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 9: Every time you say it, I laugh out loud, even

374
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 9: if it's early in the morning. And we used to laugh,

375
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 9: you know, as as a punchline. Sometimes are not so funny.

376
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 2: You're for people that don't know I'm talking about. Yesterday,

377
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 2: I was referencing the movie Funny Farm, uh, and I

378
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,239
Speaker 2: don't remember what context I brought that up twice now

379
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 2: as a reference. But anyway, it's a Chevy Chase film.

380
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,919
Speaker 2: I recommend that to you for some Christmas and holiday

381
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 2: viewing if you haven't seen it.

382
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 9: Absolutely, And I'm just thinking about the Christmas cards being

383
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 9: you know, being delivered that way. Nevertheless, and see there's

384
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 9: the laugh. Nevertheless, in this dark day, there are some

385
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 9: you know, thank God. Oh here's here's what I'll leave

386
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 9: you with. Yesterday, in a National chain store, I walked

387
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 9: in and they had real Christmas christ Christmas music, the

388
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 9: old carols, all of this and Jesus's name and everything.

389
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 7: Wow.

390
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 9: And the whole store was kind of like in awe.

391
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 9: And I said to the manager, this music is fabulous

392
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 9: Christmas music. They said, yeah, we don't care. We're not

393
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 9: supposed to be playing it, but we're playing it anyway.

394
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 9: And I said, hello, oh my gosh.

395
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,199
Speaker 2: Oh, so you're saying, yeah, you don't want to get

396
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,679
Speaker 2: anybody inny trouble. You're saying, this is like a commercial

397
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 2: chain of stores that typically would not be playing overtly

398
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 2: Christian music, and this particular store in the chain was

399
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 2: playing it anyway.

400
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 9: Yes, sir, hallelujah.

401
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 2: I love that A rogue manager out there in one

402
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 2: of these big corporate chains. The only time you'll see

403
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 2: that really at a corporate level is hobby lobby. Now

404
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 2: you walk into the hobby lobby right now, you'll hear

405
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 2: overtly Christian music. But Mary, Hey, Merry Christmas to you.

406
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 2: Glad to meet you on the cruise. Hope we'll see

407
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 2: you again out there on the high seas, and stay

408
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 2: in touch. Eight five fives to gall is how you

409
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 2: get here? On open line Friday, a couple of things

410
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 2: I wanted to bring to your attention President Trump saying

411
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 2: that he is looking into a national housing emergency fast

412
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 2: Eddie at once. We must get the Stagall plan to

413
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 2: the West wing number fifty six. Take a listen.

414
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 10: Are you still considering a national emergency over housing? I'm

415
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:31,199
Speaker 10: looking at you know I have There's two thoughts on housing.

416
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,919
Speaker 11: You have a lot of people have housing that because

417
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 11: we have such a strong time and such a strong market,

418
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 11: their houses are very valuable.

419
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 10: It's a big part of their net worth their house.

420
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,919
Speaker 11: I don't want to knock those numbers down because I

421
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 11: want them to continue to have a big value for theirs.

422
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 11: At the same time, I want to make it possible

423
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 11: for young people out there and other people to buy

424
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 11: housing the way they're at conflict.

425
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 10: In other words, you.

426
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 11: Create a lot of housing all of a sudden, and

427
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 11: it drives the housing prices down. So I want to

428
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 11: take care of the people that have houses that have

429
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 11: a value to get into the house that they never

430
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 11: thought possible, that have sort of made them wealthy and happy,

431
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 11: and you know, especially in their later years, got to

432
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 11: be careful with that.

433
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:21,360
Speaker 10: I want to keep them up.

434
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,120
Speaker 11: At the same time, I want to make it possible

435
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:25,439
Speaker 11: for people to go buy houses.

436
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 2: This is a really interesting thing if you're listening closely

437
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 2: to what he's saying here. We talk a lot about

438
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 2: how the unaffordability issue for housing young people getting into

439
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 2: a house. They say it's something now closer to forty

440
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 2: years old, the average age before somebody can get into

441
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 2: their first home. It used to be thirty maybe, but

442
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 2: ten years ago, so it's taking longer for people to

443
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 2: get into a home. For the very first time. Trump

444
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 2: said something that doesn't get mentioned a lot there. I'm

445
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 2: really intrigued by it, and I'm going to talk with

446
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 2: our friend EJ and Tony coming up about it. Did

447
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 2: you catch this? He said, I want to put existing homeowners. Now,

448
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 2: what about that?

449
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 10: Ed?

450
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 2: Have you heard that said much? I'm concerned, he said. Basically,

451
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 2: I'm putting some words in his mouth, but this is

452
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 2: the thrust of it. I'm concerned about your home, fast daddy,

453
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 2: I'm concerned about your HOMESTI gaul. I'm concerned that if

454
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 2: I do something radical to start flooding the market with

455
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 2: a bunch of affordable homes for everybody. Flushing the market

456
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 2: with a bunch of new homes does what we all

457
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 2: know this is a good old fashioned economics supply and demand.

458
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 2: You start to flood the market with a ton of new,

459
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 2: cheaper homes, what does that do to the value of

460
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 2: everyone's home? Yes, it would decrease it, that's right, Yeah,

461
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 2: more available if there's no demand for housing. If the

462
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 2: demand isn't there value for everyone. And the thing that

463
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,719
Speaker 2: all of us are counting on his homeowners is cashing

464
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 2: out big time equity down the road. So this is

465
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,959
Speaker 2: a very precarious balance, is what he's saying. I could

466
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 2: move having on Earth to flood the market with a

467
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 2: bunch of cheaper homes, little homes for people to buy,

468
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 2: but that would do nothing but attack the equity you're

469
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 2: trying to build, mister Cayaso. So how do you feel

470
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 2: about that? I get it, I understand. So does that

471
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 2: make you hardhearted because you're considering the equity in your

472
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 2: own home instead of making something affordable for that twenty

473
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 2: something down the road.

474
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:30,120
Speaker 7: It's a delicate balance, No, because I do housing does

475
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 7: need to rebound. Protecting the value of your home is very,

476
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 7: very important. But I also do believe that the left's goal,

477
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 7: their entire existence, is to make you become a renter.

478
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 7: So I feel for that person, and I would not

479
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 7: want to be in this situation. And it took me

480
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 7: a very long time to get into my first home.

481
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 2: Everyone is counting on cashing out their equity come the

482
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 2: sale of their home. That is what most people are

483
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 2: counting on, save the people that move a lot, but

484
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 2: most people get into a you know, twenty fifteen to

485
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 2: your mortgage, and they count on that being one of

486
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 2: the biggest assets that they'll have come retirement. And Trump says,

487
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 2: if we do anything too radical, we could eat into

488
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,679
Speaker 2: your home equity. That just claim. Now again, I'm going

489
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:16,159
Speaker 2: to ask EJ about that. I think it's gonna be

490
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,360
Speaker 2: fascinating Also coming up today, we're going to talk with

491
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 2: the Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Eric Schmidt Missouri Senator

492
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 2: Eric Schmitt, United States Senator. First ever lawsuit by a

493
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 2: foreign nation directed at a city, United States Senator. Congratulations

494
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 2: Senator Schmidt. So we'll talk with him about that. Harry

495
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 2: Enton the Vaudevillion over at CNN with new numbers. I

496
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,360
Speaker 2: can't believe it. Hot, shut shut, step right up here.

497
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 2: It comes number forty nine. Democrats, despite it all, despite

498
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 2: whatever you're hearing about what the Republicans aren't doing or

499
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 2: Trump's not moving fast enover, Oh, this guy's falling. Democrats

500
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 2: ain't doing so well. Listen.

501
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 12: Democrats in the minds of the American public are lower

502
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 12: than the dead sea. What are we talking about here, Well,

503
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 12: let's take a look the net approval rating for Democrats

504
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 12: in Congress. You said of Kate Baldwin, the lowest ever.

505
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 12: Look at us overall, they are fifty five points underwater.

506
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 12: They're approval rating is south of twenty percent. It's even

507
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 12: worse when you look at Independence. Look at this negative

508
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 12: sixty one points. That means that their approval rating is

509
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 12: sixty one points lower than their disapproval rating. Quinnipiac has

510
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 12: been pulling this question for the better part of the

511
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:32,360
Speaker 12: twenty first century. They have never found Democrats, at least

512
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 12: those in Congress, in worse shape than they are right now.

513
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 2: So I don't think it's a fate of complete that

514
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 2: Republicans are going to get shellacked in the midterms. Okay,

515
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:48,120
Speaker 2: there's a lot of ballgame left to play. There's only

516
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 2: five days left till Christmas. Though, thank you, thank you,

517
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 2: thank you for your giving. The angel Tree campaign continues.

518
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,480

Speaker 2: a blessing to one of these kids who has an

523

Speaker 2: incarcerated parent not at home this Christmas. They're wondering or

00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 2: sent out there. He's on the ground to give us

547
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 2: all the latest what he saw as they fired up

548
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 2: Day number one, Erica Kirk came out to speak. I

549
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 2: think Ben Shapiro was there, Tucker Carlson was there, a

550
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 2: lot of fireworks there too, but a huge packed crowd,

551
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 2: some thirty thousand strong. West Coast Willie, our correspondent, checked

552
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 2: it out on the ground.

553
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 13: Hey, Willie Nelson here with Salem News Channel. We're here

554
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 13: in Phoenix, Arizona, at Turning Point. Ussay's America Fests, a

555
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 13: conference full of thousands of people. The legacy media claims

556
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 13: doesn't exist with opinions.

557
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: They don't want you to hear.

558
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 13: Let's go on in there and find out what the

559
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 13: people are saying. Would you rather work for George Soros

560
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 13: or get triple boosted?

561
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 14: That's a really, really tough question.

562
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 1: I would say triple boosted.

563
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 14: And I am not a COVID shot person, so I've

564
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 14: never I don't have one.

565
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:08,120
Speaker 13: Now, if Jasmine Crockett became president, what would America look

566
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 13: like in the first week.

567
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 3: They'd be a bunch of jazz queens, all of them.

568
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 3: They'd be all queens, the drag queens, all the queens.

569
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 3: They would all be queens. We wouldn't have any men.

570
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:19,400
Speaker 3: They'd all be queens.

571
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 13: Can a conservative and a liberal successfully date?

572
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 15: No, absolutely not absolutely not now flirt to convert maybe maybe,

573
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 15: but uh, but successfully date as they are it's not

574
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 15: gonna happen.

575
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: Can you tell us about the flirt to convert method?

576
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:34,919
Speaker 1: Young man?

577
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 15: If you're going to try and play the game, you've

578
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 15: got to slowly, you know, sort of inserting drops of

579
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 15: of what you believe and and just kind of showing

580
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 15: the woman, you know that you've kind of chosen to

581
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 15: kind of go after certain different, you know, sides in

582
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 15: the media that she's maybe not seen.

583
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 13: What is your favorite thing the Trump administration has done

584
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 13: so far?

585
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 16: Oh, defending common sense, defending that men and women are

586
00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 16: different and there's only two genders.

587
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:01,959
Speaker 1: Wait, you think there's only two genders?

588
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 16: Women's sports is only for women and not actually for

589
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 16: anyone else with mental health problems.

590
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 13: If Jasmine Crockett became president, how would the first week look?

591
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 1: I think I'd avoid the news for that week.

592
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd probably stay in my house, try to self

593
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 3: quarantine again.

594
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 1: Maybe.

595
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 13: Oh yeah, they'd be able to get everyone back successfully

596
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 13: on lockdown.

597
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, definitely.

598
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 2: Yes.

599
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 1: What's your favorite trolling moment of Trump? I think it

600
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 1: had to be pretty recent.

601
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 7: Actually, that Keem Jeffries sombrero thing that was hysterical because

602
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 7: Kim Jeffries was so upset about that, Oh, the stupidest thing,

603
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 7: and it was just it was good fun.

604
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: Well for people who can take a joke, which is

605
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: not the left. Would you rather work for George Sorows.

606
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 13: Or have to teach a class on critical race theory?

607
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 16: I guess I could teach a class on critical race theory,

608
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 16: but I get.

609
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 4: My own spin on it.

610
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: And what would your first lesson be that it's a lie?

611
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 13: If Jasmine crock Kid became president, what would America look

612
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 13: like in the first week? Lots of food snamps, lots

613
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 13: of the EVNT.

614
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 17: Would go crazy, and I know you'd have some interesting

615
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 17: Supreme Court rulings, maybe dismantled, maybe stacked.

616
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 1: I think she would flood the courts. I think she would.

617
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: You just add a bunch of Supreme Court justice. Can

618
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 1: it conservative and a liberal successfully date? I would say

619
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 1: in this day and age.

620
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 2: No, maybe in years past, but I think just because

621
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 2: they're so extremes on both sides that right.

622
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 3: Now, I think you have to be aligned politically.

623
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: What do you want to see the Trump administration do.

624
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 18: More of put people in jail? I want account of

625
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 18: billet that is so important to me. I want call

627
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:44,040

00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 18: of knows character.

629
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 1: What's the wokest thing you've ever heard of? Liberal say?

630
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 14: I think the most liberal thing woke thing is probably,

631
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 14: you know, just the fact that girls can be boys

632
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 14: and boys and be girls, and that children down to

633
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 14: like four years old are able to decide to go

634
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 14: on pruberty, are like mutally them selves, and I think

635
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 14: that that is probably the most disgusting, crazy wokening I've heard.

636
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 13: So reporting here from Turning Point USA's America Fess.

Speaker 10: Yeah.

651
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 19: One of the things that I told them from early

652
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 19: on when they started with me was the value of

653
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 19: not only their own time, but other people's times. And

654
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 19: they run on a similar schedule that I do.

00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 2: Williamsburg dash Dental dot com. Yes, I know it's the holidays.

676
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 2: I know this is not a time of year most

677
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 2: people think about losing weight. But you know, our executive

678
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 2: producer Fast Eddie is doing it. He's using PhD Weight

679
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 2: Loss right now as a weight loss tool through the

680
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 2: holiday season. It can be done. And you know how,

681
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 2: I know in just two weeks time. Right now, as

682
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 2: we speak, he's on the program, and the first two

683
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 2: weeks of the program he's already dropped eight pounds. You know,

684
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 2: I told you the reason he's doing it, because I

685
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 2: told you I lost forty pounds in under four months

686
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 2: earlier this year. Eddie said, I want to try it.

687
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 2: I said, it's almost the holidays. He said, I don't care.

688
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 2: I want to try it. And he's lost eight pounds

689
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 2: in two weeks time. He works with his counselor, same

690
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 2: as I work with my counselor. I've kept the weight off.

691
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 2: I'm going to probably go for another twenty in the

692
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 2: new year. But the point is right now, I've hit

693
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 2: idle on purpose. I'm maintaining my weight loss because my

694
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 2: counselor at PhD Weight Loss has taught me exactly what

695
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 2: I need to do to maintain, maintain, and then when

696
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 2: I want to re engage and kick it into full

697
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 2: gear and start losing more in the new year, I can.

698
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 2: The best part about PhD weight loss this time of

699
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 2: year is they're very well aware this is a hard

700

Speaker 2: time to get people motivated to lose weight. But if

735
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 2: Santa run I assume in Budapest eight five fives to

736
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 2: gall If you'd like to get in here from the

737
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 2: Relief Factor Studios this morning, We're thrilled to be with you.

738
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 2: The Nativity is now becoming protest art. As you probably know,

739
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 2: some US churches are reimagining Nativity scenes this year, surrounding

740
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 2: the Holy Family with ice agents, or separating Jesus from

741
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 2: Mary and Joseph to protest the Trump administration's intensifying immigration crackdowns.

742
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 2: Of course, the irony about calling the Holy Family immigrants

743
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 2: is that they actually wanted to go back home. I've

744
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 2: always thought that so funny, like you can't you know

745
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:17,279
Speaker 2: they their goal was actually to return back from the

746
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 2: place they fled. They had no desire to make home

747
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 2: where they had ventured when Jesus was born. So the

748
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,720
Speaker 2: analogy really doesn't hold. I mean, if people were breaking

749
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 2: in across the southern border, staying here only to with

750
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 2: the desire ultimately return home, maybe that analogy would hold.

751
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,359
Speaker 2: But it never made much sense to me to use

752
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 2: the Nativity as a political statement because it doesn't really

753
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:46,959
Speaker 2: hold water. President Trump has paused green card lottery program. Now,

754
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,840
Speaker 2: after the Brown University and MIT shootings, Trump ordered the

755
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 2: suspension of the green card lottery program that enabled to

756
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,320
Speaker 2: suspect in the Brown University mass shooting and killing of

757
00:36:56,360 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 2: an MIT professor to live in the United States. Yates

758
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 2: Homeland Security Secretary Christy Nomes announcement marks the latest Trump

759
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 2: administration effort to limit legal immigration amid a wider crackdown

760
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 2: that's triggered a wave of lawsuits. Officials at a Thursday

761
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:16,879
Speaker 2: night briefing announcing the suspect of the shootings has been

762
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 2: here since twenty seventeen. He gained a green card via

763
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 2: the Diversity Immigrant Visa Lottery program. Did you even know

764
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 2: we had such a thing, the Diversity Immigrant Visa lottery

765
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:34,839
Speaker 2: twenty seventeen? The guy, I said earlier Peruvian. I'm sorry,

766
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 2: I misspoke Portuguese. He is from Portugal, and I believe

767
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 2: that was the professor's background as well, that was killed

768
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 2: at MIT. I think also from Portugal, if memory servech

769
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 2: I didn't follow every detail of this, but they finally

770
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 2: did capture that guy. As we talked about earlier, self

771
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 2: inflicted gunshot wound in a storage facility in New Hampshire.

772
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 2: A couple of other really important and signal difficant things

773
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:06,360
Speaker 2: to point out that happened. The anti transing Protect Children's

774
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 2: Innocent Act Innocents Act passed out of the House. The

775
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 2: House of Representatives had passed this bill. Marjorie Taylor Green,

776
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 2: the author of this good for her. Protect Children's Innocent

777
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 2: Act is what it's called. She said that the three

778
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 2: Democrats also voted for the act, Henry Quaar of Texas,

779
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:31,319
Speaker 2: Don Davis of North Carolina, and Vicente Gonzales of Texas.

780
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 2: Four Republicans voted against the legislation, Mike Kennedy of Utah,

781
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 2: Mike Lawler of New York, Gabe Evans of Colorado, and

782
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 2: a very familiar name to this show. Brian Fitzpatrick of

783
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 2: suburban Philadelphia. Brian Fitzpatrick, Pride of Bucks County. Brian Fitzpatrick

784
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 2: the one Republican left in southeastern Pennsylvania who's barely a Republican.

785
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:58,399
Speaker 2: And Eddie and I have had this discussion for years

786
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 2: about a guy like Brian fitzpatt. He's, by the way,

787
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 2: he's engaged to that White House correspondent from Fox, Jackie Heinrich.

788
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 2: And there are a lot of people that are calling

789
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 2: that into question. He's very, very pro Ukraine. Brian Fitzpatrick's

790
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 2: one of these guys is like, give money to Ukraine

791
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:17,359
Speaker 2: as long as you have to forever, without question. He's

792
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:21,280
Speaker 2: one of those guys among other things. But now he's

793
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 2: against protecting children from transing them as miners ed And

794
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:29,920
Speaker 2: this is how he manages to maintain an office as

795
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 2: the one lone Republican in southeastern Pennsylvania. Is it worth it?

796
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:35,439
Speaker 2: Is the question is it worth it to vote against

797
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 2: stuff like this?

798
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 7: I mean, it is an easy political win in a

799
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:40,880
Speaker 7: place like Bucks County because there are a lot of

800
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:45,360
Speaker 7: affluent people in that county and that's the biggest problem.

801
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 2: When it comes to issues.

802
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:48,800
Speaker 7: So he can say, well I stood up for LDLGBTQ

803
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 7: plus rights right, and people are like, well he did.

804
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 2: He voted against that anti transing bill. I always wonder

805
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 2: is it worth having a Republican in a blue area

806
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 2: or a blue state if they vote basically like Democrats.

807
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:08,720
Speaker 2: Is it worth voting Republican if they often on critical

808
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 2: core issues vote with Democrats anyway? Is it worth it?

809
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 2: Or do you just say let a Democrat win it?

810
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 21: No?

811
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 7: Because this if he loses this time around, it's to

812
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 7: Bob Harvey, the former commissioner of Bucks County, who was.

813
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,400
Speaker 2: Any crazy Democrat. But my point is, I mean, we

814
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 2: know that they're crazy Democrats. Who cares about them? My

815
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 2: point is, does a Republican vote like a Democrat sometimes?

816
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:34,800
Speaker 2: And we say better than having a full blown crazy Democrat?

817
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 2: Sixty forty? Is that the position Republicans better sixty foot?

818
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 7: If you're voting sixty forty, then yes, let's keep the

819
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 7: Republican okay, all right?

820
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:45,320
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, the Trump administration yesterday moved to cut all federal

821
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 2: funding from hospitals that perform transgender medical procedures on miners.

822
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 2: I would love to see anyone who performs a medical

823
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 2: procedure on a minor trying to quote change their gender.

824
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:59,800
Speaker 2: I would like to see them jailed. I have other thoughts,

825
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 2: but I'll just leave it a jailed for now. That's

826
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:05,840
Speaker 2: what I'd love to see. If a civilized society cannot

827
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:09,799
Speaker 2: get their minds collectively around, let's not pull aside six

828
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 2: year olds and chemically castrate them. If we can't as

829
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:18,360
Speaker 2: a civilized society all agree on that. I don't know

830
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 2: what to tell you, But then again. I mean, Democrats

831
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,720
Speaker 2: are a death cult and they're perfectly comfortable with killing

832
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 2: babies after they've survived an abortion on the delivery room table.

833
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 2: Ralph Northam told us that on a radio show. So

834
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 2: if Democrats are willing to terminate life, and oh, while

835
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 2: we're on it, by the way, here's yet another governor.

836
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 2: Remember I told you earlier in the week, the Shawnees

837
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 2: Big Boy signed off on euthanasia in Illinois, making him

838
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 2: the twelfth state. So too did Kathy Hokeel of New York.

839
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 2: This week. The death cult grows, saying this week she

840
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 2: has reached an agreement with the New York State legislature

841
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:58,359
Speaker 2: to sign the quote Medical Aid in Dying Bill known

842
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 2: as MADE. That's cute. They give it a little little name,

843
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:08,279
Speaker 2: the MADE Act, also known as Physician Assisted Suicide. The

844
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 2: measure would give terminally ill adults who've less than six

845
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 2: months to live an option to have a doctor prescribe

846
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 2: them a lethal medication mixture. Now, look, when I talked

847
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 2: about this before, and I'm well aware and I understand

848
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 2: that there are personal stories of many in this audience

849
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:27,319
Speaker 2: who have lost a loved one who's been terminally ill

850
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:29,760
Speaker 2: and miserable and just wanted to end it. And people

851
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 2: will email me and they will say, I saw my

852
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 2: loved one, my dad, my spouse, whomever, in agony, and

853
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 2: they just wanted to end it. And the dignified way

854
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:39,919
Speaker 2: to allow them to do that is to let them die,

855
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 2: let them kill themselves. I don't share that point of view.

856
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 2: We can agree to disagree on that. I have my

857
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 2: reasons for that. I'm really not here to be rate

858
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 2: or belabor the pain or the debate with people that

859
00:42:55,480 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 2: have suffered loss. It's deeply, deeply personal. And so you

860
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 2: say to me, an adult wants to terminate their life

861
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:11,319
Speaker 2: and we should pass a law to assist that. I mean,

862
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 2: as a Christian, I can't go there. I can't do it.

863
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 2: But again, I'm not here to debate that with you.

864
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 2: My bigger concern though for now, is not really so

865
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:24,360
Speaker 2: much that debate. That's one people of goodwill, as believers,

866
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:26,720
Speaker 2: we can debate. But here's one thing I know for sure.

867
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 2: If it becomes more expedient to take ill people and

868
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 2: off them with drugs, prescribe them something, or say you

869
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:40,799
Speaker 2: know what, I don't really there's a lot of hope

870
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:42,760
Speaker 2: or this is way too expensive to keep you alive.

871
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:44,760
Speaker 2: It's a lot cheaper if we just end this now,

872
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:46,360
Speaker 2: it's not going to cost.

873
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:46,919
Speaker 8: Her as much.

874
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 2: It's really the affordable way to go forward is just

875
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 2: to kill your husband now. Well, okay, if you think

876
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 2: it's best, don't tell me that under Obamacare. Don't tell

877
00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 2: me that under a nation that will nationalize their health insurance.

878
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 2: It's as Canada is doing now. A number of you

879
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:05,879
Speaker 2: have pointed out this is already happening in Canada. People

880
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 2: are literally told just off them, kill them, let's get

881
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:13,840
Speaker 2: move it out. How is that not going to happen?

882
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 2: How is that not the inevitable conclusion? Treating people in

883
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:20,839
Speaker 2: the hospital who aren't getting well quickly, or maybe aren't

884
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 2: improving much at all, or slowly are improving but not

885
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:25,840
Speaker 2: fast enough. How is it not ultimately? How do you

886
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 2: not reach the conclusion? And this is getting very expensive.

887
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 2: It's a lot cheaper to just end this now. You

888
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:35,280
Speaker 2: know that's where it would go. It's the same argument

889
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:38,319
Speaker 2: for pregnancy, folks, it's no different. It's just end of

890
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:42,360
Speaker 2: life pregnancy. It's the same thing you hear all the

891
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:44,760
Speaker 2: time about abortion. Oh, it's just you know, you won't

892
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:47,800
Speaker 2: know until you're there. It's so expensive to raise a child,

893
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 2: and isn't it better to not bring a child into

894
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 2: the world who won't be cared for? Isn't it better

895
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:57,800
Speaker 2: it's so expensive to raise a child. What a burden

896
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 2: it is on the mother who doesn't want the child.

897
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 2: It's the same argument, what a burden that is on

898
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:05,880
Speaker 2: the family to keep this person alive? How expensive it

899
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:08,720
Speaker 2: is to keep this person alive. Listen. If your position

900
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 2: is people are burdens that sometimes need to be executed,

901
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:18,359
Speaker 2: then just say it so we can at least put

902
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:19,920
Speaker 2: our cards out on the table and we can have

903
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:23,239
Speaker 2: an honest debate. But don't soft sell it. Just say it.

904
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 2: There's a point where people become expendable because they're too

905
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 2: expensive or they're a burden emotionally or physically. So we

906
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 2: need to have the means to execute people that we

907
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 2: deem not really worth our time or energy anymore. Let's

908
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:48,720
Speaker 2: just be honest about what we're saying and transing miners

909
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:52,440
Speaker 2: in hospitals. This butchery, I don't want any part of it, folks, None.

910
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:52,440
Speaker 1: Of it.

911
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 2: Liveshot at Martha's Vineyard. This morning on the Salem News Channel, Hey,

918
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 2: decreed federal holiday, we think it only right that we

00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:23,200
Speaker 2: honor the President's wishes and take Christmas Eve off, so

920
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:27,839
Speaker 2: we will. I do have a brand new podcast for you,

Speaker 2: and we will have new programming here on Christmas Eve though,

922
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 2: just so you know that, So don't if you're around

923
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:37,400
Speaker 2: maybe prepping for the evening, cooking in the kitchen, or

924

Speaker 2: Energy Secretary Chris Wright on the Way. Open Line Friday continues,

937
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:19,720
Speaker 2: Let's go to Christopher in California. Hey, Christopher, good morning,

938
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 2: welcome in.

939
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:25,880
Speaker 22: Hey, good morning, Chris. I always enjoy waking up to

940
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:30,279
Speaker 22: your show in the morning. You get my morning.

941
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 2: Good and started, thank you.

942
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:38,879
Speaker 22: But anyway, I I was listening to where you were

943
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:46,760
Speaker 22: talking about President Trump possibly renaming the Kennedy Center, and

944
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 22: everybody's going nuts over it, and I mean, it's that's

945
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:53,960
Speaker 22: a small thing, you know.

946
00:47:54,120 --> 00:48:04,920
Speaker 2: I'm Chris. I'm sorry. We've lost a bit of yourself.

947
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:06,920
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. For some reason, it cut out just as

948
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:08,400
Speaker 2: you were starting to make your point. You said, it's

949
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:10,560
Speaker 2: a small thing. Let's see if we can reconnect. There, Christopher,

950
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 2: I don't know if we've got here or not. One

951
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:16,960
Speaker 2: more time you there, No, okay, I'm sorry, Christopher. I

952
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 2: don't know why the phone cut out, but naturally it

953
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:22,000
Speaker 2: will when I take your call. He'll sit there all

954
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:24,680
Speaker 2: hour and it'll be fine. The minute we start talking,

955
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 2: the phone drops fast, Eddie. It's some sort of some

956
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:30,239
Speaker 2: sort of cosmic rule. I'm not really sure why. Sorry

957
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:32,920
Speaker 2: about that, Christopher, but anyway, not alarmed by it is

958
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:37,320
Speaker 2: the point. And to clarify the Kennedy Center, he didn't

959
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:40,080
Speaker 2: rename it. The board. The new board of the Kennedy

960
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:43,080
Speaker 2: Center renamed it. Just to be clear. But Christopher's point

961
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:46,160
Speaker 2: was that he's not that exercised about it. Gosh, I'm

962
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:47,719
Speaker 2: sorry he waited for a while to say that, and

963
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:49,719
Speaker 2: then we had to drop him, all right, I mean

964
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 2: we didn't, but you get it. President Trump has also

965
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:58,600
Speaker 2: ordered medical marijuana reform. The pro pot movement got its

966
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:00,960
Speaker 2: biggest this from the Washington Time's got its biggest federal

967
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:05,319
Speaker 2: policy win yesterday when President Trump removed metijijuana from the

968
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:08,720
Speaker 2: list of the most restricted drugs and rescheduled to allow

969
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:13,400
Speaker 2: for expanded medical research and application. Moved from a Schedule

970
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:17,359
Speaker 2: one drug like heroin to a Schedule three drug like

971
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:22,720
Speaker 2: tailanol with codeine under the Controlled Substances Act. Many people

972
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:26,160
Speaker 2: believe deeply in this as a medical remedy. Others believe

973
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 2: pot has never been more toxic and stronger, and are

974
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:34,560
Speaker 2: deeply concerned about this jury's out. Well, I think he's

975
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:37,120
Speaker 2: made history. I believe it's been a history making week.

976
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:39,840
Speaker 2: You know, President Trump. I told you yesterday President Trump

977
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:42,319
Speaker 2: gave a nineteen minute speech. I think that's history. I

978
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:44,359
Speaker 2: also think it's history that the United States senator being

979
00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 2: sued by China. I don't know that it's ever happened before,

980
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:51,359
Speaker 2: but except to our next guest, it is probably the

981
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:55,720
Speaker 2: most significant part of President Trump's plan to make America

982
00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:58,239
Speaker 2: great again. When you talk about the economy, you try

983
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:01,399
Speaker 2: to talk about the strengths of standing of the United

984
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:06,000
Speaker 2: States around the world. Energy is the backbone to it all.

985
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 2: It's the lynchpin. It's why when President Trump, when we

986
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 2: covered his visit in Pittsburgh earlier in the year, he

987
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:17,040
Speaker 2: spoke of our next guest as one of the most

988
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:21,000
Speaker 2: important influential members of his cabinet. And I'm talking about

989
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:23,160
Speaker 2: the Energy Secretary Chris Wright, who we were able to

990
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:25,319
Speaker 2: sit down and speak with there in Pittsburgh, and we

991
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:28,000
Speaker 2: have him back this morning. Secretary right, good to see you, sir,

992
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:28,799
Speaker 2: and welcome back.

993
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:31,879
Speaker 21: Thanks for having me back Chris in the great state

994
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 21: of Pennsylvania, and to talk about my favorite subject, which

995
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:37,120
Speaker 21: is President Trump and also.

996
00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 2: Editor, Well, listen, the thing about it is what we know,

997
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:45,239
Speaker 2: what is obviously true. We were talking about it then

998
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:46,840
Speaker 2: and we're still talking about it, and I know President

999
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:51,719
Speaker 2: Trump touches on it, this race on AI. The fact

1000
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:54,200
Speaker 2: of the matter is it's coming like a freight train

1001
00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:57,480
Speaker 2: and it needs a lot of energy. And so there's

1002
00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 2: it's kind of a two pronged piece. You're not so

1003
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 2: much on the development side of AI as much as

1004
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:06,840
Speaker 2: you are on the let's fuel the growth of AI.

1005
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:10,919
Speaker 2: And here's something that came up earlier in the week

1006
00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:13,080
Speaker 2: with a guest of ours named Daniel Turner, who you

1007
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:15,520
Speaker 2: may know from Power the Future. He said, what concerns

1008
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:23,359
Speaker 2: me is these new facilities, these new kind of warehouses

1009
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:27,600
Speaker 2: for AI and these tech plants that are being built

1010
00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:32,240
Speaker 2: all over the country. They're a tremendous drain on energy

1011
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:36,799
Speaker 2: domestically for people in their respective cities and towns. They

1012
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:39,279
Speaker 2: really need their own facilities, don't they. I guess the

1013
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:43,040
Speaker 2: point is in the race for AI could have a

1014
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:45,359
Speaker 2: net negative effect on the consumer at home and their

1015
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:48,160
Speaker 2: electric needs. Does that make sense? Long winded question? Sorry

1016
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:49,279
Speaker 2: about that now.

1017
00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:51,640
Speaker 21: Chris, You're right on They are going to take a

1018
00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:55,920
Speaker 21: lot of energy in the form of electricity to create intelligence,

1019
00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:58,719
Speaker 21: which is going to create jobs and opportunities and drive

1020
00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:02,319
Speaker 21: scientific innovation. Go awesome things are going to come from that.

1021
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:05,760
Speaker 21: But you're right, they do require a lot of electricity.

1022
00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 21: The good news is, the bottom line is they're going

1023
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:13,240
Speaker 21: to be a force to drive down electricity prices, not up,

1024
00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 21: because they're going to put more load. We're going to

1025
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:18,319
Speaker 21: be able to sell more electricity with a lot of

1026
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:22,040
Speaker 21: our existing assets than we could before. It's like spreading

1027
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 21: the costs over a larger number of buyers. So ultimately

1028
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:28,640
Speaker 21: they're going to help us drive down electricity prices. But

1029
00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:32,840
Speaker 21: the Biden administration, you know, had a train wreck policy.

1030
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:35,600
Speaker 21: They went around the country trying to close coal plants

1031
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:39,080
Speaker 21: and gas plants, even take down hydro electric dams. Everything

1032
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:42,480
Speaker 21: they wanted to do was reduce the reliable parts of

1033
00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:46,000
Speaker 21: our grid and then pay people to put up wind

1034
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:49,279
Speaker 21: and solar spread all over the place, which means lots

1035
00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:51,400
Speaker 21: of transmission lines have to be built and have to

1036
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:55,080
Speaker 21: be paid for. That drives up electricity prices. And then

1037
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:57,440
Speaker 21: when it's cold and you're peak demand time, well, the

1038
00:52:57,480 --> 00:53:00,399
Speaker 21: wind's not blowing, the sun's not shining these we'll need

1039
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:03,200
Speaker 21: all the other stuff, but they were taking down the

1040
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:06,880
Speaker 21: other stuff, and now we inherit this high electricity prices,

1041
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:11,320
Speaker 21: a grid that's barreling towards blackouts. And so thank god

1042
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:15,319
Speaker 21: President Trump got elected and he has been bold and decisive.

1043
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:18,080
Speaker 21: On day one, we got to stop the nonsense. We

1044
00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:20,719
Speaker 21: got to stop closing coal plants and gas plants and

1045
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:24,239
Speaker 21: talking about taking down hydro dams. We got to reverse

1046
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:27,799
Speaker 21: all that. But boy, everything in the last four years

1047
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 21: that was permitted is wind and solar. You couldn't you

1048
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:33,239
Speaker 21: couldn't even think about building new plants that we so

1049
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:36,520
Speaker 21: desperately need. So we start in a hole, but we're

1050
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:40,240
Speaker 21: swimming fast and we're on the right trajectory. President Trump,

1051
00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:42,160
Speaker 21: I think, is going to lead us to both win

1052
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:46,040
Speaker 21: the AI race and ultimately bring down electricity prices. But

1053
00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 21: we're starting from a from a deep hole left to

1054
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:51,239
Speaker 21: us in the Biden administration. Thank god he's aggressive.

1055
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:56,840
Speaker 2: I have a couple of friends in the energy production business.

1056
00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 2: They you know, they that is the power. Our company

1057
00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:02,960
Speaker 2: supplies power to the community, and they've been in this

1058
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:04,479
Speaker 2: for a long time. And I talked with them about

1059
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:08,040
Speaker 2: this and they said, yes, nuclear is fantastic, but it's

1060
00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:12,600
Speaker 2: still quite expensive to develop and online and coal. As

1061
00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:15,640
Speaker 2: you know, there's been this crusade, this political crusade against coal.

1062
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:18,839
Speaker 2: What's the truth of the matter, mister secretary, Do you

1063
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:22,320
Speaker 2: do you think we go nuclear because it provides the

1064
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:28,040
Speaker 2: most the most power at the cleanest possible in the

1065
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:31,160
Speaker 2: cleanest possible way. Or do you need coal? Do you

1066
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:34,280
Speaker 2: need natural gas because nuclear is still so expensive to develop.

1067
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:37,560
Speaker 21: Oh, we need all of them. We need all of them.

1068
00:54:37,719 --> 00:54:40,560
Speaker 21: We need to stop closing all our coal plants. This

1069
00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:46,640
Speaker 21: year already we've stopped the closure of nearly seventeen gigawatts

1070
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:50,120
Speaker 21: of coal capacity. That is a huge number that were

1071
00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:53,120
Speaker 21: slated to close and would have closed if President Trump

1072
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:57,200
Speaker 21: lost the election. This earlier this week, I was at

1073
00:54:57,200 --> 00:55:00,440
Speaker 21: Three Mile Island and that's a nuclear plan that was

1074
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:04,840
Speaker 21: shut down. It wasn't expensive to operate, but the electricity

1075
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:08,560
Speaker 21: market had been screwed up by these crazy green dream

1076
00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:12,239
Speaker 21: Democrat policies. It's now going to be restarted. It'll be

1077
00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:16,640
Speaker 21: online in eighteen months. It'll actually be relatively cheap expenditure

1078
00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:19,960
Speaker 21: to get nearly a gigawat of electricity back on the

1079
00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:24,000
Speaker 21: Pennsylvania grid. We have another nuclear restart that actually that

1080
00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:27,400
Speaker 21: will launch next month. We will turn on the first

1081
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:31,080
Speaker 21: ever restarted nuclear power plant. We got other ones behind that,

1082
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:36,759
Speaker 21: but nuclear has been smothered by big government marath and

1083
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:40,799
Speaker 21: a focus on bureaucracy and over design, not safety. That's

1084
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:43,840
Speaker 21: what made nuclear expensive. But of course we're bringing common

1085
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:47,200
Speaker 21: sense back nuclear. Ultimately, when we get that machine running,

1086
00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:52,640
Speaker 21: it's going to be cheap, reliable and affordable. But we

1087
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:55,960
Speaker 21: need coal, we need gas, we need nuclear. We need

1088
00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:58,800
Speaker 21: to keep the hydro assets we have. We're going to

1089
00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:02,239
Speaker 21: see next generation he A thermal power come on, but

1090
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:04,080
Speaker 21: we got to get a lot more power out of

1091
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:08,000
Speaker 21: our existing assets. Is demand is rising fast, and the

1092
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:11,520
Speaker 21: Biden administration didn't leave us anything productive in the queue.

1093
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:15,120
Speaker 21: The President Trump is looking every which way we can

1094
00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:18,080
Speaker 21: to deliver more electricity so we can lead an AI

1095
00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:22,120
Speaker 21: and stop the crushing price rises that are opposed on Americans.

1096
00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:23,839
Speaker 21: Then they're rightfully angry about it.

1097
00:56:25,200 --> 00:56:27,719
Speaker 2: The good news is, at least in my neck of

1098
00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:31,160
Speaker 2: the woods, I just paid an all time low for

1099
00:56:31,320 --> 00:56:34,799
Speaker 2: a gallon of gas this week. I filled up half

1100
00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:36,520
Speaker 2: my tank. I took advantage of it. Right then, I

1101
00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:38,800
Speaker 2: didn't need to fill up, but excuse me, I was

1102
00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:41,360
Speaker 2: at halfway and I decided I'm going to take advantage

1103
00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:43,239
Speaker 2: of two dollars and thirty nine cents because I hadn't

1104
00:56:43,239 --> 00:56:45,160
Speaker 2: seen that in a while. So that's some good news

1105
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:45,800
Speaker 2: right now.

1106
00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:50,279
Speaker 21: That's something President Trump could have a faster impact on.

1107
00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:53,240
Speaker 21: End the war on oil and gas right array allow

1108
00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:56,040
Speaker 21: people to build permits, operate their refineries the way they

1109
00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:59,680
Speaker 21: want to. He could quickly get the nonsense out of

1110
00:56:59,719 --> 00:57:02,840
Speaker 21: the way, and you see a rapid impact on oil prices,

1111
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:07,799
Speaker 21: on gasoline prices, on diesel prices, home heating oil. So

1112
00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:11,920
Speaker 21: some things that Trump actions can have quick impacts on

1113
00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:15,239
Speaker 21: and electricity. Believe me, the actions are quick. They're fast

1114
00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:17,960
Speaker 21: and furious right now. But it's a little bit bigger

1115
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:22,600
Speaker 21: battleship to turn. But yes, President Trump, we're going to

1116
00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:26,400
Speaker 21: see not just reduced prices of energy that which which

1117
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:29,360
Speaker 21: allows people more easily to pay their bills, but it's

1118
00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:32,840
Speaker 21: also going to allow more businesses to expand in our country,

1119
00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:37,000
Speaker 21: to reshore from overseas, to hear the lag here is

1120
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:40,120
Speaker 21: going to be a lot of highways, job opportunities for

1121
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:43,280
Speaker 21: workers across our country. President Trump got elected for the

1122
00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:46,280
Speaker 21: right reasons, but he's not starting on a mountaintop. He's

1123
00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:48,400
Speaker 21: starting in a deep hole and trying to bring us

1124
00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:49,760
Speaker 21: all to the mountaintop together.

1125
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:53,720
Speaker 2: How helpful can Congress be here to codify this stuff?

1126
00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:56,680
Speaker 2: Because I think a lot of people wonder, you know,

1127
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:01,520
Speaker 2: energy developers, energy companies, people that provide power to people's

1128
00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:03,800
Speaker 2: homes and businesses, people that go out and drill it,

1129
00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:08,200
Speaker 2: mine for it. They can't just flip switches start stop

1130
00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:11,560
Speaker 2: with various administrations and various law you know, So how

1131
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:14,280
Speaker 2: much of this can you codify? Can President Trump cottify

1132
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:17,360
Speaker 2: so that heaven forbid someday we're staring down the barrel

1133
00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:20,560
Speaker 2: of Joe Biden or an Obama. They can't come in

1134
00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:23,720
Speaker 2: and just reverse course again. Pre sure, right on.

1135
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:26,920
Speaker 21: You must have an insight into my schedule book. I

1136
00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:30,320
Speaker 21: was on meeting in the House of Representatives with a

1137
00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:34,880
Speaker 21: large committee there talking about exactly that. And we do

1138
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:37,240
Speaker 21: need to get as much as possible as we can

1139
00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:40,200
Speaker 21: in law. There is a thing called the Speed Act,

1140
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:44,120
Speaker 21: which is a significant permitting reform bill that is being

1141
00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:47,640
Speaker 21: I think will be voted on we hope before today's over,

1142
00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:53,800
Speaker 21: before the weekends. But this is to codify some of this,

1143
00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:58,280
Speaker 21: make it easier to build things in America, give businesses

1144
00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:01,400
Speaker 21: security so they will invest, believe that they're not going

1145
00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:03,560
Speaker 21: to start a project and a new administration is going

1146
00:59:03,600 --> 00:59:06,320
Speaker 21: to come in like the Keystone XL pipeline and shut

1147
00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:09,200
Speaker 21: down their pipeline or shut down their power plant, so

1148
00:59:09,560 --> 00:59:12,600
Speaker 21: I say, and we're seeing some bipartisan support for that.

1149
00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:17,960
Speaker 21: So I am cautiously optimistic we can get some permitting

1150
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:21,240
Speaker 21: reform done and that'll be long lasting. As you said,

1151
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:24,200
Speaker 21: to codify these common sense changes in the law.

1152
00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:28,320
Speaker 2: Well, I got to tell you this, your job is

1153
00:59:28,360 --> 00:59:30,800
Speaker 2: the one clearly. And I heard it, you know, three

1154
00:59:30,880 --> 00:59:33,760
Speaker 2: four months into this administration. I heard it in Pittsburgh.

1155
00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:36,400
Speaker 2: He said that you were I mean, what you and

1156
00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:39,640
Speaker 2: Lee Zelden are doing over at EPA. You guys are

1157
00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:42,520
Speaker 2: like the dynamic duo. So much of the Trump agenda

1158
00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:44,680
Speaker 2: centers around what you're getting done there at Energy. So,

1159
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:47,200
Speaker 2: mister Secretary, it is a real thrill to catch up

1160
00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:48,880
Speaker 2: with you again. Thanks for the work that you're doing

1161
00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:50,600
Speaker 2: out there. I hope you have a very merry Christmas

1162
00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:52,520
Speaker 2: and come back and see us in twenty twenty six.

1163
00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:55,880
Speaker 21: Sir, Hey, thanks so much, Chris. I appreciate you. I

1164
00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:59,040
Speaker 21: appreciate the shout out to Lee Zelden, who fully deserves it.

1165
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:02,840
Speaker 21: Doug Berger in the Interior Department is seven days a

1166
01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:05,880
Speaker 21: week on energy access and energy growth as well. So

1167
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:08,640
Speaker 21: those are the two amigos that are seven days a

1168
01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:11,600
Speaker 21: week working with me and President Trump. So it's and

1169
01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:13,720
Speaker 21: of course others in the government as well, but those

1170
01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:16,520
Speaker 21: are those are the three that are just laser focused

1171
01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:20,120
Speaker 21: on energy, increasing production and driving cost down. Thank you,

1172
01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:22,280
Speaker 21: and thank you Edward in Pennsylvania for your hard work.

1173
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:26,400
Speaker 2: Thank you, mister secretary. Appreciate the time. Telephone number eighty

1174
01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:28,480
Speaker 2: five fives to gaul by the way, if you'd like

1175
01:00:28,520 --> 01:00:30,440
Speaker 2: to get in here today on open line Friday. The

1176
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:34,920
Speaker 2: economic numbers continue to improve. Even CNBC had to almost

1177
01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:38,960
Speaker 2: gasp audibly at the surprising data that came in yesterday.

1178
01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:40,640
Speaker 2: Give me a number and fifty here, Paulay, listen to this

1179
01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:44,080
Speaker 2: the number of the morning.

1180
01:00:44,120 --> 01:00:47,400
Speaker 23: The CPI, oh, maybe coming in a little bit better

1181
01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:50,439
Speaker 23: than expecting. Two point seven percent. A little light here.

1182
01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:53,600
Speaker 23: I'm not calling, I'm just reading the headlines here. Year

1183
01:00:53,600 --> 01:00:57,000
Speaker 23: over year two seven ex Food and Energy Core two six,

1184
01:00:57,080 --> 01:01:00,840
Speaker 23: so four tenths off. That is a very good number here,

1185
01:01:01,560 --> 01:01:03,920
Speaker 23: and it really I have not looked at the internals.

1186
01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:05,640
Speaker 23: I'll look at them now, but it suggests that the

1187
01:01:05,680 --> 01:01:09,240
Speaker 23: internals are good as well. Let's see year over year

1188
01:01:09,240 --> 01:01:12,040
Speaker 23: over the last twelve months. There is no month to month,

1189
01:01:12,120 --> 01:01:14,240
Speaker 23: but some guys will be able to calcut it seasonally.

1190
01:01:14,360 --> 01:01:17,080
Speaker 23: Just index for all items. Let's food, energy rows zero

1191
01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:19,800
Speaker 23: point two percent over the two months.

1192
01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:23,560
Speaker 2: So the good news is here. And this was over

1193
01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:26,640
Speaker 2: at CNN. There was a Harvard economics professor too, who

1194
01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:29,520
Speaker 2: said he was stunned and surprised. It is undeniably good news,

1195
01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:32,960
Speaker 2: better number than anybody was expecting on inflation. So he's

1196
01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:38,360
Speaker 2: doing something right. Turning Point in Phoenix, the big convention started.

1197
01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:40,520
Speaker 2: We were literally in the show playing you some on

1198
01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:44,640
Speaker 2: the ground reporting from West coast. Willie, our correspondent who

1199
01:01:44,680 --> 01:01:47,200
Speaker 2: was there. This is they say, the largest attended turning

1200
01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:50,280
Speaker 2: point so far, obviously since the murder of Charlie Kirk,

1201
01:01:50,320 --> 01:01:54,000
Speaker 2: his wife Erica taking the stage yesterday. Take a listen

1202
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:55,280
Speaker 2: to some of that number forty three.

1203
01:01:56,840 --> 01:02:00,360
Speaker 4: We're going to ensure that President Trump has Congress for

1204
01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:08,560
Speaker 4: all four years. We are going to get my husband's

1205
01:02:08,600 --> 01:02:12,919
Speaker 4: friend JD. Vance elected for forty eight and.

1206
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:19,280
Speaker 2: The most resoundingly possible. Yeah, it was pretty cool. And

1207
01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:25,120
Speaker 2: Erica came out, she said, you know, evil is all around.

1208
01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:28,160
Speaker 2: There's a lot of darkness surrounding this event and what

1209
01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:30,360
Speaker 2: she meant and in many ways obviously not just the

1210
01:02:30,440 --> 01:02:33,080
Speaker 2: Charlie murder, but she was also talking about just something

1211
01:02:33,120 --> 01:02:35,920
Speaker 2: as simple as she took the stage and the iPad

1212
01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:39,400
Speaker 2: that she was set to use for her speech went black.

1213
01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:44,280
Speaker 2: You know, I was thinking about that there are just

1214
01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:48,120
Speaker 2: there are moments, there are kind of almost supernatural moments

1215
01:02:48,800 --> 01:02:52,360
Speaker 2: in history that also turned out to be remarkable moments

1216
01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:54,720
Speaker 2: in history. And when I saw that she held up

1217
01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:56,720
Speaker 2: her iPad and it was completely black and she'd lost

1218
01:02:56,760 --> 01:02:59,400
Speaker 2: her speech. Of course, she does what she does, which

1219
01:02:59,440 --> 01:03:03,600
Speaker 2: is she goes off on and she articulates. And it's

1220
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:06,520
Speaker 2: because she is so centered and so poised, and because

1221
01:03:06,560 --> 01:03:10,000
Speaker 2: she has a Christ centered heart, she is able to

1222
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:12,320
Speaker 2: speak honestly and candidly and off the cuff even if

1223
01:03:12,320 --> 01:03:14,640
Speaker 2: she doesn't have her script in front of her. It reminds,

1224
01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:16,200
Speaker 2: you know what it reminded me of. Do you remember

1225
01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:19,160
Speaker 2: the Convention? The Republican Convention in two thousand and eight

1226
01:03:20,080 --> 01:03:25,840
Speaker 2: in Minneapolis. I was there covering that John McCain and

1227
01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:31,240
Speaker 2: his vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin. Do you remember, fast Eddie.

1228
01:03:31,280 --> 01:03:32,600
Speaker 2: I don't know if you recall this or not. You

1229
01:03:32,600 --> 01:03:35,160
Speaker 2: may not remember all these years ago that Sarah Palin

1230
01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:39,320
Speaker 2: took to the stage to deliver her speech at that

1231
01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:43,240
Speaker 2: nominating convention for the Republicans in Minneapolis. And what people

1232
01:03:43,240 --> 01:03:46,640
Speaker 2: didn't notice later she delivered that famous line, what's the

1233
01:03:46,680 --> 01:03:52,320
Speaker 2: difference between a pitbull and a hockey mom? Lipstick? Was

1234
01:03:52,400 --> 01:03:55,720
Speaker 2: the line. The place roared. She was a star. Nobody

1235
01:03:55,720 --> 01:03:57,240
Speaker 2: really knew much about her, and she came on to

1236
01:03:57,320 --> 01:03:59,640
Speaker 2: the stage and after that speech, she was just electric.

1237
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:02,520
Speaker 2: Everybody's so excited. And do you know the same thing

1238
01:04:02,560 --> 01:04:06,160
Speaker 2: happened to her. It was reported that her teleprompter went

1239
01:04:06,280 --> 01:04:08,960
Speaker 2: out as she was about to deliver that speech, and

1240
01:04:09,320 --> 01:04:13,080
Speaker 2: apparently she either delivered it by memory or she riffed it.

1241
01:04:13,120 --> 01:04:16,680
Speaker 2: I don't know which, but it was a lights out speech.

1242
01:04:16,720 --> 01:04:18,800
Speaker 2: And there's just those moments where kind of there's an

1243
01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:22,040
Speaker 2: almost supernatural you want to call up the Holy Spirit

1244
01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:26,480
Speaker 2: presence in these people when you step up on a stage,

1245
01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:28,520
Speaker 2: a grand stage like that, and you're supposed to deliver

1246
01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:31,120
Speaker 2: an important set of remarks that everybody's tuned in to

1247
01:04:31,160 --> 01:04:33,120
Speaker 2: listen to, and something like that happens. Don't tell me

1248
01:04:33,160 --> 01:04:35,840
Speaker 2: there's not darkness in that, but also don't tell me

1249
01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:38,880
Speaker 2: the power of the Holy Spirit can't overcome it. It's

1250
01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:44,440
Speaker 2: really remarkable. Speaking of can I just tell you what

1251
01:04:44,560 --> 01:04:49,240
Speaker 2: a spirit filled Christmas you have created for thousands of

1252

Speaker 2: me earlier this year, I hope, talking about our partnership

1283
01:06:19,960 --> 01:06:23,560
Speaker 2: with Prison Fellowship, the non for profit Christian organization that

1284
01:06:23,640 --> 01:06:28,120
Speaker 2: helps kids who have incarcerated parents enjoy a little fresh

1285
01:06:28,200 --> 01:06:33,080
Speaker 2: air and fun out in the open outdoors. During summer camp. Well,

1286
01:06:33,120 --> 01:06:35,840
Speaker 2: they do great work at Christmas time too, and we're

1287
01:06:35,960 --> 01:06:38,120
Speaker 2: proud to partner with them again in what they call

1288
01:06:38,200 --> 01:06:42,080
Speaker 2: their Angel Tree Christmas Campaign. You know, there are thousands

1289
01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:45,680
Speaker 2: of kids all over the country, through no fault of

1290
01:06:45,720 --> 01:06:48,200
Speaker 2: their own, who seewe or maybe even both of their

1291
01:06:48,200 --> 01:06:51,640
Speaker 2: parents incarcerated this time of year. And what a what

1292
01:06:51,680 --> 01:06:54,080
Speaker 2: a tough thing that is. You know, a child should

1293
01:06:54,120 --> 01:06:58,080
Speaker 2: be enjoying the Christmas season, and with something that heavy

1294
01:06:58,200 --> 01:07:00,400
Speaker 2: in their home, it's often difficult to do. What I

1295
01:07:00,440 --> 01:07:03,560
Speaker 2: love about Prison Fellowship is and what is so cool

1296
01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:06,600
Speaker 2: about what Angel Tree does. They take a thirty dollars

1297
01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:08,840
Speaker 2: donation that you give and they can turn that into

1298
01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:11,760
Speaker 2: a gift for a young person who may be struggling

1299
01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:14,480
Speaker 2: this Christmas. And best of all, it's not just a gift,

1300
01:07:14,960 --> 01:07:17,400
Speaker 2: it's a handwritten note from their parent who happens to

1301
01:07:17,400 --> 01:07:22,600
Speaker 2: be incarcerated, and most importantly, the gospel message they hear

1302
01:07:22,640 --> 01:07:24,560
Speaker 2: the truth of Jesus this time of year. That's a

1303
01:07:24,600 --> 01:07:27,640
Speaker 2: thirty dollars gift from you to a child who could

1304
01:07:27,720 --> 01:07:30,600

Speaker 2: He gave a fiery speech, fastest speech I think he's

1363
01:10:33,080 --> 01:10:36,759
Speaker 2: ever given. Some clocked it at sixteen seventeen eighteen minutes.

1364
01:10:37,200 --> 01:10:39,240
Speaker 2: I know it came under twenty minutes, and Donald Trump's

1365
01:10:39,280 --> 01:10:43,880
Speaker 2: never given a speech under twenty minutes, and it was

1366
01:10:44,439 --> 01:10:48,040
Speaker 2: aggressive and everybody was not entirely sure what he was

1367
01:10:48,080 --> 01:10:50,479
Speaker 2: going to talk about, and it was all economy. Now

1368
01:10:50,560 --> 01:10:53,120
Speaker 2: we know he's gone to Pennsylvania and hit the stump

1369
01:10:53,160 --> 01:10:54,240
Speaker 2: to talk about it once we know.

1370
01:10:54,320 --> 01:10:54,519
Speaker 10: JD.

1371
01:10:54,600 --> 01:10:57,599
Speaker 2: Evans then went back to Pennsylvania to talk about it again.

1372
01:10:58,560 --> 01:11:01,200
Speaker 2: And I am very intrigued with the fact that they

1373
01:11:01,200 --> 01:11:03,960
Speaker 2: continue to make Pennsylvania stop. We're going to have Pennsylvania

1374
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:07,920
Speaker 2: Senator Dave McCormick on the show Monday, a Pennsylvania himself,

1375

Speaker 2: and the chief economist at the Heritage Foundation. EJ. And

1376
01:11:11,080 --> 01:11:13,960
Speaker 2: TONI joins us again and EJ. First of all, Mary Christmas,

1377
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:15,040
Speaker 2: glad to have you, sir.

1378
01:11:16,360 --> 01:11:18,840
Speaker 8: Merry Christmas to you. Chris, thanks for having me back.

1379
01:11:19,680 --> 01:11:22,040
Speaker 2: What do you think. I know you're more economy guy

1380
01:11:22,080 --> 01:11:24,160
Speaker 2: than a political guy, but what is the I'm just

1381
01:11:24,200 --> 01:11:27,160
Speaker 2: always intrigued because you don't do anything by accident. They

1382
01:11:27,160 --> 01:11:29,400
Speaker 2: don't just kind of spin a wheel and just you know,

1383
01:11:29,439 --> 01:11:31,280
Speaker 2: throw a dart at the wall. They go to Pennsylvania

1384
01:11:31,280 --> 01:11:33,080
Speaker 2: on purpose. Why do you think they've made not two

1385
01:11:33,120 --> 01:11:36,000
Speaker 2: stops inside of a week to talk about the economy

1386
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:38,600
Speaker 2: in Pennsylvania.

1387
01:11:38,880 --> 01:11:39,880
Speaker 8: Good question, Chris.

1388
01:11:40,120 --> 01:11:43,080
Speaker 17: I have to imagine in some way the Keystone State

1389
01:11:43,200 --> 01:11:46,880
Speaker 17: is exactly that, the keystone to the movement here. It's

1390
01:11:46,920 --> 01:11:49,439
Speaker 17: not only the state that obviously put them over the

1391
01:11:49,479 --> 01:11:52,679
Speaker 17: top in the twenty sixteen election, but it again went

1392
01:11:52,760 --> 01:11:55,519
Speaker 17: for the president in the most recent election, and I

1393
01:11:55,520 --> 01:11:59,000
Speaker 17: think they're looking at it as again in the upcoming

1394
01:11:59,880 --> 01:12:02,519
Speaker 17: In the upcoming election, it'll probably be one of those

1395
01:12:02,600 --> 01:12:05,639
Speaker 17: states that is a formerly part of that blue wall

1396
01:12:05,760 --> 01:12:07,479
Speaker 17: they used to call it, and is now part of

1397
01:12:07,520 --> 01:12:11,760
Speaker 17: this new Right, I guess maybe a better way to

1398
01:12:11,800 --> 01:12:14,360
Speaker 17: put it. So what we're looking at here is a

1399
01:12:14,400 --> 01:12:17,559
Speaker 17: state with a lot of blue collar workers, people who

1400
01:12:17,600 --> 01:12:20,320
Speaker 17: were left behind by the Biden administration, also by the

1401
01:12:20,920 --> 01:12:25,519
Speaker 17: Obama administration back then. These are people who didn't get

1402
01:12:25,560 --> 01:12:28,200
Speaker 17: to participate in the big run up in wealth that

1403
01:12:28,360 --> 01:12:31,840
Speaker 17: was created in the stock market. These are folks who

1404
01:12:32,080 --> 01:12:35,040
Speaker 17: lost out on so called free trade by seeing their

1405
01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:39,120
Speaker 17: jobs evaporate, by seeing entire towns almost evaporate as the

1406
01:12:39,160 --> 01:12:42,800
Speaker 17: manufacturing base in the state was just washed away and

1407
01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:47,960
Speaker 17: really sent overseas to places like China. So it's a state,

1408
01:12:48,040 --> 01:12:51,320
Speaker 17: I think, in a very particular way where the President's

1409
01:12:51,320 --> 01:12:54,519
Speaker 17: policies aimed to make life not only more affordable, but

1410
01:12:54,600 --> 01:12:57,240
Speaker 17: also aim to do things like bring back jobs and

1411
01:12:57,720 --> 01:13:02,160
Speaker 17: reshore manufacturing, rebuild that austrial base on which the state

1412
01:13:02,160 --> 01:13:05,000
Speaker 17: of Pennsylvania had been built for literally decades.

1413
01:13:05,960 --> 01:13:08,840
Speaker 2: You KNOWJ I got a note from a friend. He's

1414
01:13:08,840 --> 01:13:11,240
Speaker 2: a Trump voter, but he was really irritated at President

1415
01:13:11,240 --> 01:13:14,719
Speaker 2: Trump's address, and he said it this way. President Trump

1416
01:13:14,760 --> 01:13:21,320
Speaker 2: addressed the nation Wednesday night, somehow hoodwinking all the networks

1417
01:13:21,360 --> 01:13:23,400
Speaker 2: to air something that was nothing more than a political

1418
01:13:23,479 --> 01:13:26,639
Speaker 2: speech filled with stuff we already knew. He seemed nervous, grumpy,

1419
01:13:26,680 --> 01:13:29,120
Speaker 2: and the teleprompter threw him off several times. It was

1420
01:13:29,120 --> 01:13:33,000
Speaker 2: not his best night, one week from Christmas. Americans don't

1421
01:13:33,040 --> 01:13:35,200
Speaker 2: want to be told that money isn't tight. I don't

1422
01:13:35,280 --> 01:13:38,880
Speaker 2: understand this. Now. That was not my read. Again, that's

1423
01:13:38,880 --> 01:13:41,960
Speaker 2: from a Trump voter, and he's a passionate Trump voter.

1424
01:13:43,120 --> 01:13:44,640
Speaker 2: I know that to be true. But that was his

1425
01:13:44,720 --> 01:13:47,000
Speaker 2: note to me, and I just thought I did not

1426
01:13:47,120 --> 01:13:51,040
Speaker 2: hear Donald Trump telling the American people shut up. You

1427
01:13:51,040 --> 01:13:53,679
Speaker 2: don't know what you're feeling. That was not my read.

1428
01:13:53,840 --> 01:13:54,320
Speaker 2: It was his.

1429
01:13:54,520 --> 01:13:54,680
Speaker 20: Now.

1430
01:13:54,920 --> 01:13:57,240
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, I can't tell somebody how to feel.

1431
01:13:57,360 --> 01:14:01,400
Speaker 2: But how did you see that speech, Chris.

1432
01:14:01,640 --> 01:14:04,840
Speaker 17: I can certainly understand why somebody would take it that way.

1433
01:14:04,880 --> 01:14:07,080
Speaker 17: And I think part of the reason for that is

1434
01:14:07,120 --> 01:14:10,080
Speaker 17: because for four years we were told by the Biden

1435
01:14:10,120 --> 01:14:13,080
Speaker 17: administration and all their sicko fants in the media that

1436
01:14:13,160 --> 01:14:15,880
Speaker 17: everything was fine, that inflation is all in your head.

1437
01:14:15,880 --> 01:14:19,800
Speaker 17: Remember inflation is transitory, remember that nonsense. Then we were

1438
01:14:19,840 --> 01:14:23,479
Speaker 17: told inflation was Putin's fault. Then inflation was somehow a

1439
01:14:23,520 --> 01:14:26,479
Speaker 17: sign of a good economy. I mean, they threw every

1440
01:14:26,520 --> 01:14:29,040
Speaker 17: line in the book. They threw every line in the

1441
01:14:29,040 --> 01:14:31,120
Speaker 17: book at the wall to try to see what would stick.

1442
01:14:31,280 --> 01:14:32,040
Speaker 8: Nothing did.

1443
01:14:32,479 --> 01:14:35,000
Speaker 17: They told the American people for years, it's all in

1444
01:14:35,040 --> 01:14:39,719
Speaker 17: your head. You're perfectly fine. Stop complaining, shut up, everything's great,

1445
01:14:39,800 --> 01:14:43,439
Speaker 17: the numbers look good. And people voted for Trump because

1446
01:14:43,439 --> 01:14:46,439
Speaker 17: they knew all of that was just hot garbage. So

1447
01:14:47,040 --> 01:14:49,840
Speaker 17: when you start hearing a message again that in any

1448
01:14:49,880 --> 01:14:53,320
Speaker 17: way resembles that, even if it's not true, I can

1449
01:14:53,360 --> 01:14:54,560
Speaker 17: certainly understand.

1450
01:14:54,200 --> 01:14:56,000
Speaker 8: Why people would react that way.

1451
01:14:56,040 --> 01:14:59,720
Speaker 17: And when President Trump, for example, started talking about the

1452
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:05,240
Speaker 17: affordability hoax, he was specifically talking about how the Democrats

1453
01:15:05,280 --> 01:15:08,439
Speaker 17: trying to pin the problem on him was the hoax

1454
01:15:08,520 --> 01:15:12,640
Speaker 17: as opposed to saying that life is unaffordable, which obviously

1455
01:15:12,760 --> 01:15:13,479
Speaker 17: it still is.

1456
01:15:13,520 --> 01:15:15,680
Speaker 8: That's the leftover from the Biden administration.

1457
01:15:16,280 --> 01:15:19,600
Speaker 17: So again I can understand why people are having the

1458
01:15:19,640 --> 01:15:23,920
Speaker 17: reaction they are, why they look at the economy so disapprovingly,

1459
01:15:24,520 --> 01:15:27,320
Speaker 17: it's because life is still unaffordable. And a couple of

1460
01:15:27,439 --> 01:15:31,519
Speaker 17: stats I think really illustrate that. Under Biden's watch, the

1461
01:15:32,479 --> 01:15:35,200
Speaker 17: monthly mortgage payment Chris for a median price home, so

1462
01:15:35,240 --> 01:15:38,519
Speaker 17: we're not talking a mansion here, just the median price home,

1463
01:15:38,640 --> 01:15:41,759
Speaker 17: the one right in the middle. That monthly mortgage payment

1464
01:15:41,840 --> 01:15:44,640
Speaker 17: literally doubled in four years. It's a little more than

1465
01:15:44,680 --> 01:15:47,519
Speaker 17: one hundred percent increase. Now what is it done under Trump, Well,

1466
01:15:47,560 --> 01:15:51,559
Speaker 17: under Trump it's down by roughly five percent, So that

1467
01:15:51,600 --> 01:15:54,360
Speaker 17: tells you that things are getting better, but we're still

1468
01:15:54,400 --> 01:15:57,960
Speaker 17: nowhere near undoing all the damage of the Biden administration. Likewise,

1469
01:15:58,320 --> 01:16:01,360
Speaker 17: if you look at the average Americans weekly paycheck, what

1470
01:16:01,479 --> 01:16:03,840
Speaker 17: it could actually buy, not just how big it is,

1471
01:16:03,880 --> 01:16:05,959
Speaker 17: but what it could buy. So, in other words, adjusted

1472
01:16:05,960 --> 01:16:10,440
Speaker 17: for prices, it shrunk about four percent during the Biden administration.

1473
01:16:10,520 --> 01:16:13,120
Speaker 17: Now under Trump it's up about one point six percent,

1474
01:16:13,240 --> 01:16:17,040
Speaker 17: so again it Yet this is another thing that demonstrates

1475
01:16:17,080 --> 01:16:19,479
Speaker 17: the fact that we were moving in the wrong direction.

1476
01:16:19,680 --> 01:16:22,360
Speaker 17: Now we're moving in the right direction, but we still

1477
01:16:22,400 --> 01:16:25,720
Speaker 17: have not regained all the lost ground from those four

1478
01:16:25,840 --> 01:16:29,000
Speaker 17: years of Biden. So of course I feel like they've

1479
01:16:29,040 --> 01:16:29,759
Speaker 17: fallen behind.

1480
01:16:30,560 --> 01:16:32,960
Speaker 2: I was talking to our mutual friend Steve More this

1481
01:16:33,000 --> 01:16:34,920
Speaker 2: week and I said, here's the conundrum. And I'm sure

1482
01:16:34,920 --> 01:16:38,040
Speaker 2: what is frustrating to a guy like Trump. Anybody that's

1483
01:16:38,040 --> 01:16:40,200
Speaker 2: holding a four oh one K or a ROTH or

1484
01:16:40,200 --> 01:16:43,559
Speaker 2: some kind of investment vehicle. I don't know the numbers

1485
01:16:43,560 --> 01:16:45,719
Speaker 2: on that. Maybe you do, like how many Americans hold

1486
01:16:45,800 --> 01:16:48,040
Speaker 2: something like that some kind of stock or investment fund

1487
01:16:48,120 --> 01:16:50,880
Speaker 2: and those who don't. But anybody who's holding something like that,

1488
01:16:51,120 --> 01:16:54,639
Speaker 2: they're seeing numbers just skyrocket. And I know, Trump surrounded

1489
01:16:54,680 --> 01:16:56,200
Speaker 2: by guys that are looking at their four oh one

1490
01:16:56,280 --> 01:16:58,360
Speaker 2: K in their portfolios that are up fifteen, eighteen to

1491
01:16:58,439 --> 01:17:02,320
Speaker 2: twenty percent, just boom boom, boom, boom boom. And here

1492
01:17:02,400 --> 01:17:04,120
Speaker 2: hears that kind of stuff and thinks, how in the

1493
01:17:04,120 --> 01:17:06,760
Speaker 2: world can you say things suck? You know? But I

1494
01:17:06,800 --> 01:17:09,280
Speaker 2: understand a lot of people don't hold portfolios and don't

1495
01:17:09,280 --> 01:17:11,719
Speaker 2: care about four oh one k's, so that's a tough

1496
01:17:12,080 --> 01:17:13,160
Speaker 2: needle to thread, I guess.

1497
01:17:14,680 --> 01:17:17,920
Speaker 8: So, Chris, very interesting you mentioned this.

1498
01:17:19,240 --> 01:17:21,240
Speaker 17: You probably didn't know this, but I actually just released

1499
01:17:21,240 --> 01:17:24,599
Speaker 17: a study this morning and have a piece in town

1500
01:17:24,640 --> 01:17:28,439
Speaker 17: Hall explaining it. The average four oh one k fell

1501
01:17:28,520 --> 01:17:32,439
Speaker 17: more than fifteen percent under Biden after you adjust for inflation,

1502
01:17:32,920 --> 01:17:37,160
Speaker 17: so basically savers just got absolutely crushed. A lot of

1503
01:17:37,160 --> 01:17:39,799
Speaker 17: that had to do with how dismal the bond market

1504
01:17:39,800 --> 01:17:43,679
Speaker 17: performance was under Trump. That has completely reversed and almost

1505
01:17:43,680 --> 01:17:46,719
Speaker 17: all of those losses have actually been recouped now, which

1506
01:17:46,760 --> 01:17:49,640
Speaker 17: is really really great news. And there are tens of

1507
01:17:49,640 --> 01:17:52,679
Speaker 17: millions of people that have four oh one k's. If

1508
01:17:52,720 --> 01:17:54,960
Speaker 17: you include all the people who also have pension plans,

1509
01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:57,320
Speaker 17: which have also done very well this year, it's well

1510
01:17:57,360 --> 01:17:59,559
Speaker 17: over one hundred million, So there are a lot of

1511
01:17:59,600 --> 01:18:04,439
Speaker 17: folks to have those different types of retirement vehicles, if

1512
01:18:04,439 --> 01:18:06,880
Speaker 17: you want to call them that, and those folks are

1513
01:18:06,920 --> 01:18:10,880
Speaker 17: doing much much better. And I'm particularly excited about the

1514
01:18:10,960 --> 01:18:14,080
Speaker 17: Trump accounts starting next year because that's going to allow

1515
01:18:14,320 --> 01:18:17,799
Speaker 17: even young children to automatically get enrolled as the Treasury

1516
01:18:17,840 --> 01:18:20,800
Speaker 17: deposits money into their account. Now you're going to have

1517
01:18:20,840 --> 01:18:24,240
Speaker 17: literally almost all Americans get to participate.

1518
01:18:24,080 --> 01:18:27,479
Speaker 8: In those market gains. But to your point, Chris, because

1519
01:18:27,479 --> 01:18:30,040
Speaker 8: it's a very very good one, all of those folks

1520
01:18:30,120 --> 01:18:33,439
Speaker 8: who have missed out on those gains, who have been

1521
01:18:33,479 --> 01:18:36,559
Speaker 8: sitting on the sidelines, who weren't in the market, are

1522
01:18:36,640 --> 01:18:39,479
Speaker 8: watching what they what they view as you know, only

1523
01:18:39,640 --> 01:18:43,479
Speaker 8: a very small sliver of the American people accrue all

1524
01:18:43,520 --> 01:18:46,679
Speaker 8: of these wealth gains while they are just again sitting

1525
01:18:46,680 --> 01:18:49,080
Speaker 8: on the sidelines, and they're missing out on all of

1526
01:18:49,120 --> 01:18:52,599
Speaker 8: this price appreciation, whether it's in equities, whether it's in housing,

1527
01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:53,120
Speaker 8: you name it.

1528
01:18:54,040 --> 01:18:56,920
Speaker 2: This is really interesting because President Trump, and by the way,

1529
01:18:56,920 --> 01:18:58,080
Speaker 2: do you have time? Can I hold you over for

1530
01:18:58,160 --> 01:19:02,760
Speaker 2: one more segment? Sure, not that I don't mean to

1531
01:19:02,760 --> 01:19:04,080
Speaker 2: hold your hostage. If you have to go, you have

1532
01:19:04,080 --> 01:19:06,360
Speaker 2: to go, I understand. But President Trump, and just briefly,

1533
01:19:06,400 --> 01:19:09,200
Speaker 2: if I could, he said yesterday on housing, I get

1534
01:19:09,200 --> 01:19:11,240
Speaker 2: it that it's unaffordable. I would love to see more

1535
01:19:11,240 --> 01:19:13,640
Speaker 2: people in, but not at the expense of people that

1536
01:19:13,640 --> 01:19:16,639
Speaker 2: already own homes. Meaning he's concerned that people that own

1537
01:19:16,680 --> 01:19:20,320
Speaker 2: homes their equity might be hurt if we talk about

1538
01:19:20,439 --> 01:19:24,439
Speaker 2: radically increasing the supply of homes too quickly. I thought

1539
01:19:24,439 --> 01:19:25,599
Speaker 2: that an interesting concern.

1540
01:19:28,680 --> 01:19:31,559
Speaker 17: Absolutely, it's a very real concern because there were so

1541
01:19:31,720 --> 01:19:34,280
Speaker 17: many people in the last two years of the Biden

1542
01:19:34,320 --> 01:19:39,960
Speaker 17: administration who really seriously overpaid for their homes that they bought,

1543
01:19:40,439 --> 01:19:42,639
Speaker 17: and now they're in a situation where they have virtually

1544
01:19:42,680 --> 01:19:46,160
Speaker 17: no equity. In many markets, home prices have actually been

1545
01:19:46,240 --> 01:19:49,879
Speaker 17: flat year over year. In some markets, especially in Texas

1546
01:19:49,880 --> 01:19:53,120
Speaker 17: and in Florida, because there's been so much construction, you've

1547
01:19:53,120 --> 01:19:56,280
Speaker 17: actually seen home price declines and now people are sitting

1548
01:19:56,840 --> 01:19:59,799
Speaker 17: there underwater on their mortgage basically right they have negative

1549
01:20:00,600 --> 01:20:03,040
Speaker 17: in their homes. And if you were to see home

1550
01:20:03,080 --> 01:20:07,120
Speaker 17: prices nationally fall even further, you're back in a situation

1551
01:20:07,280 --> 01:20:09,639
Speaker 17: like two thousand and eight, which could be very, very

1552
01:20:09,680 --> 01:20:12,519
Speaker 17: serious and very detrimental to the economy next year.

1553
01:20:13,320 --> 01:20:15,320
Speaker 2: So you're you're generous with your time, and I'm going

1554
01:20:15,320 --> 01:20:16,960
Speaker 2: to take some advantage of it because I know you're

1555
01:20:16,960 --> 01:20:19,040
Speaker 2: also a student of history as an economist, and I

1556
01:20:19,080 --> 01:20:21,240
Speaker 2: want you to compare, if you would please, that first

1557
01:20:21,280 --> 01:20:24,960
Speaker 2: year or two of Ronald Reagan with this first year

1558
01:20:25,160 --> 01:20:27,519
Speaker 2: or two of a second term of President Trump. Are

1559
01:20:27,520 --> 01:20:29,920
Speaker 2: they analogous more with ej Antoni in just a moment

1560
01:20:30,840 --> 01:20:32,960
Speaker 2: from the Relief Actor studio. Is he good morning, A

1561
01:20:33,160 --> 01:20:37,240
Speaker 2: live look at Kansas City, Missouri this morning, where interestingly,

1562
01:20:37,560 --> 01:20:40,280
Speaker 2: it sounds like perhaps as soon as today for those

1563
01:20:40,280 --> 01:20:42,320
Speaker 2: of you who are football fans past today, this is

1564
01:20:42,320 --> 01:20:46,719
Speaker 2: an unofficial, sort of official news. The Kansas City Chiefs

1565
01:20:48,400 --> 01:20:51,960
Speaker 2: will be going through a pretty massive transformation in the

1566
01:20:52,000 --> 01:20:54,639
Speaker 2: coming years, as it sounds like they're about to strike

1567
01:20:54,680 --> 01:20:58,840
Speaker 2: a deal with the state of Kansas, maybe as soon

1568
01:20:58,880 --> 01:21:02,719
Speaker 2: as today or Monday, and they will build a brand new, big,

1569
01:21:02,760 --> 01:21:05,439
Speaker 2: beautiful stadium on the Kansas side of the state line

1570
01:21:05,479 --> 01:21:09,960
Speaker 2: and leave the Missouri side. They becoming years They want

1571
01:21:09,960 --> 01:21:15,080
Speaker 2: that city thing, so bad city thing. What do you

1572
01:21:15,120 --> 01:21:15,519
Speaker 2: mean by that?

1573
01:21:15,640 --> 01:21:18,280
Speaker 7: So the idea is like all these teams are moving

1574
01:21:18,360 --> 01:21:21,240
Speaker 7: into like city center type places, something that's a little

1575
01:21:21,560 --> 01:21:21,800
Speaker 7: well no.

1576
01:21:21,960 --> 01:21:26,040
Speaker 2: In this instance, the Chiefs are leaving sort of the

1577
01:21:26,080 --> 01:21:28,040
Speaker 2: city of Kansas City and they're moving out to sort

1578
01:21:28,080 --> 01:21:30,439
Speaker 2: of suburban Kansas where they want to build a whole

1579
01:21:31,479 --> 01:21:36,439
Speaker 2: big entertainment complex and a rolling roof a La Dallas, Okay,

1580
01:21:37,560 --> 01:21:41,639
Speaker 2: and JB. Pritzker is now getting animated that the Bears

1581
01:21:41,680 --> 01:21:43,920
Speaker 2: may flirt with moving over to the Indiana side of

1582
01:21:43,960 --> 01:21:48,280
Speaker 2: the state line. These well, I tell you what, football

1583
01:21:48,320 --> 01:21:50,760
Speaker 2: big money, and these governors they don't want to lose it.

1584
01:21:50,840 --> 01:21:54,439
Speaker 2: But that's those are those are fun. Those are fun

1585
01:21:54,479 --> 01:21:57,880
Speaker 2: business stories to watch if you're you're into sports. Let

1586
01:21:57,880 --> 01:22:00,880
Speaker 2: me go back to e J Antoni the money Man,

1587
01:22:00,920 --> 01:22:03,200
Speaker 2: because the conversation we were just having, and thank you

1588
01:22:03,240 --> 01:22:05,920
Speaker 2: so much for your generosity and time. EJ. The conversation

1589
01:22:06,040 --> 01:22:08,519
Speaker 2: is a fascinating one. You're talking about people that own

1590
01:22:08,520 --> 01:22:11,479
Speaker 2: homes and have assets, who've just taken it in the

1591
01:22:11,479 --> 01:22:14,320
Speaker 2: shorts during the Biden era. Now they're starting to recover

1592
01:22:14,840 --> 01:22:20,759
Speaker 2: assets for homeowners. Their equity is going up, people's stocks

1593
01:22:20,800 --> 01:22:23,080
Speaker 2: and four to one k's are going up. But you

1594
01:22:23,160 --> 01:22:24,920
Speaker 2: still have people that feel like I go to the

1595
01:22:24,920 --> 01:22:29,840
Speaker 2: grocery store and hot dogs are six dollars, and you know,

1596
01:22:30,080 --> 01:22:32,800
Speaker 2: I can't pay my bills. It's too expensive. Although gas

1597
01:22:32,840 --> 01:22:35,880
Speaker 2: prices are coming down, so it's this mixed bag where

1598
01:22:35,880 --> 01:22:38,479
Speaker 2: it's good and getting better, but not fast enough for some.

1599
01:22:38,560 --> 01:22:43,200
Speaker 2: And I can't imagine how frustrating it must be to

1600
01:22:43,320 --> 01:22:45,760
Speaker 2: message that, EJ. Is my point, and so I asked

1601
01:22:45,760 --> 01:22:49,400
Speaker 2: you before the break at my understanding is Ronald Reagan.

1602
01:22:49,520 --> 01:22:52,960
Speaker 2: You know, obviously inherited that Carter malaise, and it took

1603
01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:56,760
Speaker 2: some time, but by year two kabboom. Is this analogous

1604
01:22:56,800 --> 01:22:57,240
Speaker 2: to that.

1605
01:23:00,200 --> 01:23:01,760
Speaker 8: Extent? Chris absolutely.

1606
01:23:01,880 --> 01:23:05,599
Speaker 17: And part of the problem with the first tax bill

1607
01:23:06,040 --> 01:23:08,200
Speaker 17: that they passed under Reagan was the fact.

1608
01:23:07,920 --> 01:23:09,280
Speaker 8: That they phased it in.

1609
01:23:10,040 --> 01:23:14,760
Speaker 17: And so the famous doctor Art Laffer, he uses the analogy.

1610
01:23:15,160 --> 01:23:18,719
Speaker 17: In fact, he used this analogy with Reagan on the phone.

1611
01:23:19,160 --> 01:23:21,960
Speaker 17: He said, mister President, if you know a store is

1612
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:24,760
Speaker 17: going to have a huge sale next week, how much

1613
01:23:24,800 --> 01:23:27,200
Speaker 17: shopping are you going to go and do today? And

1614
01:23:27,240 --> 01:23:29,200
Speaker 17: obviously the answer is none, because you're just going to

1615
01:23:29,280 --> 01:23:31,640
Speaker 17: wait a week. And so one of the things that

1616
01:23:31,720 --> 01:23:35,360
Speaker 17: happened with Reagan initially was the fact that all of

1617
01:23:35,400 --> 01:23:40,120
Speaker 17: this business investment that could have happened, even some consumer spending,

1618
01:23:40,200 --> 01:23:45,160
Speaker 17: some hiring, etc. All this economic activity was delayed, which

1619
01:23:45,200 --> 01:23:48,840
Speaker 17: made the initial recession actually even worse. And to a

1620
01:23:48,880 --> 01:23:52,280
Speaker 17: certain extent, you've seen that today, but I think it

1621
01:23:52,320 --> 01:23:56,360
Speaker 17: was more exacerbated back then. Obviously, though you have the

1622
01:23:56,400 --> 01:24:01,080
Speaker 17: exact same effects with the huge inflation from Carter. Today,

1623
01:24:01,320 --> 01:24:04,040
Speaker 17: you have a federal reserve that doesn't seem like it's

1624
01:24:04,080 --> 01:24:07,280
Speaker 17: anywhere near as willing to fight the inflation as the

1625
01:24:07,360 --> 01:24:10,639
Speaker 17: Paul Vulker FED was. So there's a lot of problems there.

1626
01:24:10,680 --> 01:24:13,080
Speaker 17: Trump is facing a lot of headwinds. I don't want

1627
01:24:13,120 --> 01:24:16,760
Speaker 17: to sugarcoat this for the audience. He's facing a FED

1628
01:24:16,840 --> 01:24:18,720
Speaker 17: that does not seem like it really wants to get

1629
01:24:18,720 --> 01:24:19,799
Speaker 17: prices under control.

1630
01:24:19,840 --> 01:24:21,519
Speaker 8: It's much more concerned.

1631
01:24:21,080 --> 01:24:25,320
Speaker 17: With just maintaining the financial plumbing, as it were, maintaining

1632
01:24:25,360 --> 01:24:28,760
Speaker 17: this very novel monetary framework that they built in the

1633
01:24:28,800 --> 01:24:30,000
Speaker 17: spring of twenty twenty.

1634
01:24:30,200 --> 01:24:33,400
Speaker 8: So again, Trump has a lot of headwinds. You mentioned energy.

1635
01:24:33,439 --> 01:24:37,960
Speaker 17: He's making really really good progress there with energy markets

1636
01:24:38,000 --> 01:24:41,559
Speaker 17: getting prices down, and that's important because those energy prices

1637
01:24:41,560 --> 01:24:44,000
Speaker 17: are going to filter out to prices throughout the rest

1638
01:24:44,000 --> 01:24:48,360
Speaker 17: of the economy. The regulatory agenda that they're pushing, regulatory

1639
01:24:48,439 --> 01:24:51,680
Speaker 17: reform is also helping to bring down prices already. We'll

1640
01:24:51,680 --> 01:24:54,679
Speaker 17: see even more progress next year. Obviously, as the effects

1641
01:24:54,920 --> 01:24:55,800
Speaker 17: of the tax.

1642
01:24:55,560 --> 01:24:56,160
Speaker 8: Bill kick in.

1643
01:24:56,240 --> 01:24:58,800
Speaker 17: Next year, you're going to see even more progress there

1644
01:24:58,840 --> 01:25:02,639
Speaker 17: because not only people's paychecks buy more, but the actual

1645
01:25:02,720 --> 01:25:05,479
Speaker 17: take home pay itself is going to get bigger too.

1646
01:25:05,560 --> 01:25:08,800
Speaker 17: So again, good progress there to help bring some relief

1647
01:25:08,840 --> 01:25:09,520
Speaker 17: to consumers.

1648
01:25:10,120 --> 01:25:12,680
Speaker 2: So just a couple of seconds, will the economy as

1649
01:25:12,680 --> 01:25:14,760
Speaker 2: they predict, as Bessin is saying, as Trump is saying,

1650
01:25:14,760 --> 01:25:17,280
Speaker 2: as many people feel. Do you think Q one early

1651
01:25:17,360 --> 01:25:19,240
Speaker 2: Q two the economy really rockets.

1652
01:25:21,280 --> 01:25:23,760
Speaker 8: Yeah, Chris, I'm very, very bullish about next year.

1653
01:25:23,760 --> 01:25:25,599
Speaker 17: I think you're going to see a lot more dials

1654
01:25:25,960 --> 01:25:28,759
Speaker 17: line up, a lot more things. You know, we already

1655
01:25:28,800 --> 01:25:30,800
Speaker 17: have a lot headed in the right direction. You will

1656
01:25:30,840 --> 01:25:34,360
Speaker 17: see more components continue to head in the right direction,

1657
01:25:34,439 --> 01:25:36,280
Speaker 17: and that's going to have a strong cumulative effect.

1658
01:25:36,960 --> 01:25:39,439
Speaker 2: We're going to continue to stay close to the chief

1659
01:25:39,479 --> 01:25:41,880
Speaker 2: economists at the Heritage Foundation, one of the smartest guys

1660
01:25:41,920 --> 01:25:44,760
Speaker 2: we know on money matters, really lots of things. Our

1661
01:25:44,800 --> 01:25:47,000
Speaker 2: great friend dj Antony, Merry Christmas, my friend, thanks for

1662
01:25:47,040 --> 01:25:47,679
Speaker 2: all your time.

1663
01:25:48,840 --> 01:25:50,439
Speaker 8: Merry Christmas to you. Thank you.

1664
01:25:51,920 --> 01:25:52,080
Speaker 10: Well.

1665
01:25:52,120 --> 01:25:54,320
Speaker 2: I think he's made history. I believe it's been a

1666
01:25:54,360 --> 01:25:57,200
Speaker 2: history making week. You know, President Trump. I told you yesterday,

1667
01:25:57,240 --> 01:25:59,960
Speaker 2: President Trump gave a nineteen minute speech. I think that's history.

1668
01:26:00,280 --> 01:26:02,240
Speaker 2: I also think it's history of the United States senator

1669
01:26:02,240 --> 01:26:03,960
Speaker 2: being sued by China. I don't know that it's ever

1670
01:26:04,000 --> 01:26:07,240
Speaker 2: happened before, but except to our next guest, a great

1671
01:26:07,240 --> 01:26:09,720
Speaker 2: friend of the show and an outstanding senator. Before that,

1672
01:26:09,760 --> 01:26:12,920
Speaker 2: he was an outstanding Attorney General, Eric Schmidt, who we

1673
01:26:12,960 --> 01:26:15,320
Speaker 2: also played a clip of him earlier in the week.

1674
01:26:15,439 --> 01:26:17,920
Speaker 2: Listen to this number thirty four if you please. Here

1675
01:26:17,920 --> 01:26:21,520
Speaker 2: he is addressing these drug boat strikes and Admiral Bradley's

1676
01:26:21,560 --> 01:26:22,960
Speaker 2: leadership during them. Take a listen.

1677
01:26:24,040 --> 01:26:25,040
Speaker 10: I just was in the skiff.

1678
01:26:25,720 --> 01:26:28,320
Speaker 24: I saw the video, and I think the Democrats ought

1679
01:26:28,320 --> 01:26:32,799
Speaker 24: to be ashamed of themselves by trying to slander Admiral Bradley,

1680
01:26:33,320 --> 01:26:36,559
Speaker 24: who was executing a lawful order. The men on the

1681
01:26:36,560 --> 01:26:38,080
Speaker 24: boat were trying to continue their mission.

1682
01:26:38,120 --> 01:26:38,719
Speaker 10: That's the truth.

1683
01:26:39,160 --> 01:26:42,559
Speaker 24: And you got to remember where this started for the

1684
01:26:42,600 --> 01:26:45,360
Speaker 24: Democrats and the Washington Posts falsely claiming that there was

1685
01:26:45,400 --> 01:26:46,400
Speaker 24: a kill everybody order.

1686
01:26:46,439 --> 01:26:47,879
Speaker 10: That's false, that's.

1687
01:26:47,680 --> 01:26:50,080
Speaker 24: Been debunked even by the New York Times. And so,

1688
01:26:50,880 --> 01:26:53,400
Speaker 24: in an effort to protect American citizens from the poisoning

1689
01:26:53,560 --> 01:26:57,559
Speaker 24: that's happened. One hundred thousand people die every year, we

1690
01:26:57,640 --> 01:27:00,799
Speaker 24: have a vested interest in making sure the narco terrists

1691
01:27:00,800 --> 01:27:03,720
Speaker 24: don't kill Americans, and so in this instance.

1692
01:27:04,720 --> 01:27:09,200
Speaker 2: And so that is the Senator from Missouri, Eric Schmidt,

1693
01:27:09,200 --> 01:27:12,719
Speaker 2: who is just doing fantastic work there in the United States. Senate. Senator,

1694
01:27:12,760 --> 01:27:14,479
Speaker 2: it's good to see you. Merry Christmas, sir, thanks for

1695
01:27:14,520 --> 01:27:14,840
Speaker 2: your time.

1696
01:27:14,880 --> 01:27:16,960
Speaker 10: Marry Chris. Yeah, great to be with you, Chris. Merry

1697
01:27:17,040 --> 01:27:17,559
Speaker 10: Christmas to you.

1698
01:27:18,400 --> 01:27:21,200
Speaker 2: Well you're out there swinging for the fences. First of all, congratulations,

1699
01:27:21,640 --> 01:27:23,280
Speaker 2: quite a feather in your cap, am. I right, is

1700
01:27:23,320 --> 01:27:26,000
Speaker 2: this history as a United States senator? Ever been sued

1701
01:27:26,040 --> 01:27:26,719
Speaker 2: by China?

1702
01:27:27,720 --> 01:27:29,719
Speaker 10: No? Fifty billion, big ones.

1703
01:27:30,800 --> 01:27:33,040
Speaker 24: I've been banned from China and I've been sued for

1704
01:27:33,120 --> 01:27:35,960
Speaker 24: fifty billion in uh, it's a badge of honor.

1705
01:27:36,800 --> 01:27:43,320
Speaker 10: Were proudly is how like, yeah, look I was. It's

1706
01:27:43,360 --> 01:27:47,280
Speaker 10: it's insane, but this is who they are.

1707
01:27:47,600 --> 01:27:51,200
Speaker 24: Like they have concentration camps in their country, right, Like

1708
01:27:51,600 --> 01:27:54,160
Speaker 24: they're not gonna have a problem, you know, having some

1709
01:27:54,280 --> 01:27:57,479
Speaker 24: kangaroo court, you know, have some sort of judgment against

1710
01:27:57,479 --> 01:28:00,320
Speaker 24: me and the State of Missouri for fifty billion, and

1711
01:28:00,720 --> 01:28:03,320
Speaker 24: it's all just they're embarrassed by the fact that we

1712
01:28:03,400 --> 01:28:06,200
Speaker 24: exposed their lives and their deception. They unleashed COVID on

1713
01:28:06,240 --> 01:28:09,080
Speaker 24: the world. They knew exactly what they were doing. They

1714
01:28:09,120 --> 01:28:12,240
Speaker 24: stopped flights in and out of Wuhan domestically, but not internationally.

1715
01:28:12,320 --> 01:28:13,560
Speaker 10: At that time, they became.

1716
01:28:13,320 --> 01:28:16,000
Speaker 24: The let went from the largest exporter of PPE to

1717
01:28:16,040 --> 01:28:19,360
Speaker 24: the largest net importer of PPE while they knew COVID

1718
01:28:19,560 --> 01:28:22,400
Speaker 24: was deadly but didn't tell the world. So we exposed

1719
01:28:22,439 --> 01:28:25,439
Speaker 24: all this in that lawsuit. In twenty twenty, Missouri got

1720
01:28:25,479 --> 01:28:28,280
Speaker 24: a twenty four billion dollar judgment that Missouri can now

1721
01:28:28,360 --> 01:28:31,320
Speaker 24: seize assets in the like not just in Missouri but

1722
01:28:31,320 --> 01:28:34,320
Speaker 24: throughout the country, including farmland. And they're upset about that,

1723
01:28:34,479 --> 01:28:36,479
Speaker 24: and so they're lashing out here with this fifty billion

1724
01:28:36,439 --> 01:28:40,839
Speaker 24: dollars lawsuit. But as you know, Chris, Missourians don't scare easily.

1725
01:28:41,240 --> 01:28:43,160
Speaker 24: We're not intimidated. So bring it.

1726
01:28:44,560 --> 01:28:47,639
Speaker 2: That's people need to know this. I'm glad you kind

1727
01:28:47,640 --> 01:28:52,080
Speaker 2: of re reintroduced the storyline a little bit here. You did.

1728
01:28:52,880 --> 01:28:56,640
Speaker 2: You guys moved to suit China. You won effectively, and

1729
01:28:56,720 --> 01:28:59,639
Speaker 2: so no, you're never going to get China to pay directly,

1730
01:28:59,680 --> 01:29:04,120
Speaker 2: but you could legally start to seize assets assets here domestically,

1731
01:29:04,439 --> 01:29:08,080
Speaker 2: like Chinese land ownership and whatnot to recoup those losses. True.

1732
01:29:08,240 --> 01:29:10,960
Speaker 24: Yeah, And I was on your show I think earlier

1733
01:29:11,000 --> 01:29:13,479
Speaker 24: in the year to talk about my book The Last

1734
01:29:13,479 --> 01:29:15,160
Speaker 24: Line of Defense, How to Beat the Left in court.

1735
01:29:15,200 --> 01:29:19,320
Speaker 24: We have a big beautiful chapter dedicated to this lawsuit

1736
01:29:19,320 --> 01:29:21,720
Speaker 24: because at the time when we filed it, it was

1737
01:29:21,760 --> 01:29:25,679
Speaker 24: panned by liberal legal experts. This is just a publicity stunt.

1738
01:29:25,840 --> 01:29:29,719
Speaker 24: We were dead serious. We hadn't seen enough in news reports.

1739
01:29:29,960 --> 01:29:33,080
Speaker 24: Whistle blowers went missing. But it started in the lab.

1740
01:29:33,120 --> 01:29:34,640
Speaker 24: I mean, all this stuff we brought out in that

1741
01:29:34,680 --> 01:29:36,479
Speaker 24: original lawsuit that we talk about in the book, the

1742
01:29:36,520 --> 01:29:39,400
Speaker 24: last line of Defense, and it ultimately got you know,

1743
01:29:39,439 --> 01:29:42,000
Speaker 24: a court awarded US twenty four billion that Missouri can

1744
01:29:42,040 --> 01:29:44,240
Speaker 24: now go seize. And so that's the genesis of all

1745
01:29:44,280 --> 01:29:46,920
Speaker 24: of it. But this is what China does. Really, what

1746
01:29:46,960 --> 01:29:48,879
Speaker 24: this is meant to do is to seek to intimidate.

1747
01:29:48,960 --> 01:29:51,200
Speaker 24: It's not going to work. Interestingly, in the lawsuit. In

1748
01:29:51,240 --> 01:29:54,080
Speaker 24: addition to the fifty billion they want, they also want

1749
01:29:54,320 --> 01:29:58,559
Speaker 24: me to apologize to China by way of the New

1750
01:29:58,640 --> 01:30:02,479
Speaker 24: York Times YouTube in Chinese state media that ain't gonna happen.

1751
01:30:03,040 --> 01:30:06,559
Speaker 2: So adorable. Now here's I was literally in a meeting

1752
01:30:06,680 --> 01:30:09,559
Speaker 2: yesterday talking about this, uh, and I knew we were

1753
01:30:09,560 --> 01:30:12,400
Speaker 2: going to speak, and I brought you up because I said,

1754
01:30:12,400 --> 01:30:14,559
Speaker 2: I knew that you were coming on the show. And

1755
01:30:14,640 --> 01:30:17,320
Speaker 2: somebody said, can you ask him? And it's a great question.

1756
01:30:19,080 --> 01:30:21,880
Speaker 2: How in the world would this even work, I mean legitimately,

1757
01:30:21,960 --> 01:30:25,559
Speaker 2: in what court of law would this be heard? China

1758
01:30:25,600 --> 01:30:29,599
Speaker 2: has no can China I don't even understand it. I mean,

1759
01:30:29,680 --> 01:30:33,120
Speaker 2: can a foreign country sue is sitting United States senator

1760
01:30:33,160 --> 01:30:34,160
Speaker 2: in the United States.

1761
01:30:34,760 --> 01:30:36,160
Speaker 10: Well, they're suing in China.

1762
01:30:36,360 --> 01:30:41,960
Speaker 24: So they filed their lawsuit in Wuhan and the Hobei Province,

1763
01:30:42,680 --> 01:30:45,920
Speaker 24: and that's where the lawsuit stands. And it's we've you know,

1764
01:30:46,080 --> 01:30:48,439
Speaker 24: translating the lawsuit because it's written in Chinese, as you

1765
01:30:48,479 --> 01:30:49,040
Speaker 24: might expect.

1766
01:30:50,160 --> 01:30:51,519
Speaker 10: But they've sued there.

1767
01:30:51,640 --> 01:30:57,759
Speaker 24: Presumably shockingly, some fake China court will probably ruin their favor,

1768
01:30:57,800 --> 01:30:58,439
Speaker 24: as my guess.

1769
01:30:59,479 --> 01:31:01,600
Speaker 2: And then so you don't go, I mean, just so

1770
01:31:01,640 --> 01:31:03,800
Speaker 2: I'm clear, I'm sorry to interrupt, but do you have

1771
01:31:03,880 --> 01:31:06,320
Speaker 2: to You're under no obligation to like go about a year.

1772
01:31:06,439 --> 01:31:10,400
Speaker 24: They have no they have no personal jurisdiction over Eric

1773
01:31:10,439 --> 01:31:15,360
Speaker 24: Schmidt and uh and I'm banned, ironically, I'm banned from

1774
01:31:15,400 --> 01:31:17,800
Speaker 24: China anyway. So even if I wanted to appear, which

1775
01:31:18,240 --> 01:31:20,120
Speaker 24: I couldn't go to the country, I've already been banned

1776
01:31:20,120 --> 01:31:23,080
Speaker 24: now soon. So so yeah, they would theoretically have a

1777
01:31:23,160 --> 01:31:27,120
Speaker 24: judgment there, which if I have no Chinese assets, Uh

1778
01:31:27,240 --> 01:31:31,439
Speaker 24: so I don't own buildings or ports or ships in China,

1779
01:31:31,600 --> 01:31:35,200
Speaker 24: so presumably that's where it is. Let's they try to

1780
01:31:35,240 --> 01:31:37,840
Speaker 24: register it in the United States of America, which we

1781
01:31:37,880 --> 01:31:41,639
Speaker 24: would we would obviously fight back again. So so anyway,

1782
01:31:41,640 --> 01:31:44,640
Speaker 24: that's kind of where the legal standard of it all is.

1783
01:31:44,680 --> 01:31:46,439
Speaker 24: But but again, it's pretty wild.

1784
01:31:46,840 --> 01:31:47,920
Speaker 10: It's pretty wild from a.

1785
01:31:49,800 --> 01:31:55,759
Speaker 24: Just from an international relations perspective, that China, given everything

1786
01:31:55,760 --> 01:31:57,839
Speaker 24: that's going on in the world, has decided to sue

1787
01:31:57,680 --> 01:32:00,640
Speaker 24: a city United States Senator, which, to your point and

1788
01:32:00,680 --> 01:32:03,360
Speaker 24: your original question, is unprecedented. It's not happened before. So

1789
01:32:04,360 --> 01:32:06,000
Speaker 24: put it on my tombstone. I guess right.

1790
01:32:07,000 --> 01:32:09,439
Speaker 2: That's look I'd frame that sucker. That's a badge of honor.

1791
01:32:09,479 --> 01:32:11,479
Speaker 2: I don't think that's I've never heard of anything. That's

1792
01:32:11,479 --> 01:32:13,639
Speaker 2: how effective you are. China is so afraid of Eric

1793
01:32:13,640 --> 01:32:16,080
Speaker 2: Schmidt they're suing him now that I mean that, you know,

1794
01:32:16,360 --> 01:32:17,880
Speaker 2: if you're running free, I already.

1795
01:32:17,640 --> 01:32:20,240
Speaker 24: Have the I already have. I think, yeah, I think it.

1796
01:32:20,520 --> 01:32:23,240
Speaker 24: I have framed my wall. During COVID we talked a

1797
01:32:23,240 --> 01:32:25,280
Speaker 24: lot about this and also talk about it in my book.

1798
01:32:25,320 --> 01:32:26,960
Speaker 10: I was not planning to plug the book in that

1799
01:32:27,000 --> 01:32:27,840
Speaker 10: way last line of minutes.

1800
01:32:27,840 --> 01:32:30,120
Speaker 24: But there's when I was suing all the school districts

1801
01:32:30,160 --> 01:32:32,560
Speaker 24: for for mass mandates, the Atlantic tried to do a

1802
01:32:32,640 --> 01:32:34,560
Speaker 24: hit piece on me, and they had the cover was

1803
01:32:34,600 --> 01:32:38,040
Speaker 24: this artwork that the unmasked Avenger of Missouri, which they

1804
01:32:38,040 --> 01:32:38,880
Speaker 24: thought was a hit piece.

1805
01:32:38,920 --> 01:32:41,120
Speaker 10: I framed ith.

1806
01:32:41,320 --> 01:32:44,320
Speaker 24: Mother mother Jones did an article on me about being

1807
01:32:44,360 --> 01:32:46,600
Speaker 24: the most dangerous man in the Senate. They thought that

1808
01:32:46,640 --> 01:32:48,759
Speaker 24: was a hit piece. We've framed that now in my office.

1809
01:32:49,160 --> 01:32:51,680
Speaker 24: So so now this, I guess will be the trifecta.

1810
01:32:51,800 --> 01:32:56,360
Speaker 2: This man that's a Hall of Famer. Rack them up,

1811
01:32:56,400 --> 01:32:58,479
Speaker 2: all right, I know your time is limited. Could I

1812
01:32:58,479 --> 01:33:00,760
Speaker 2: ask you quickly about the drug boat commented on that

1813
01:33:00,800 --> 01:33:03,120
Speaker 2: we played the clip. I mean, it's self explanatory. They're

1814
01:33:03,120 --> 01:33:05,040
Speaker 2: obviously trying to get rid of Pete Haig Sith. They

1815
01:33:05,040 --> 01:33:07,839
Speaker 2: just don't like the MAGA agenda and the military industrial complex.

1816
01:33:07,880 --> 01:33:11,599
Speaker 2: That's pretty clear, right. This is just another another outgrowth

1817
01:33:11,680 --> 01:33:11,880
Speaker 2: of that.

1818
01:33:12,680 --> 01:33:16,599
Speaker 24: Yes, So they Pete Hegseth was their numbered democrats number

1819
01:33:16,600 --> 01:33:19,240
Speaker 24: one target during the confirmation fights. And so if you remember,

1820
01:33:19,280 --> 01:33:22,120
Speaker 24: President Trump got all of them through, which you know

1821
01:33:22,200 --> 01:33:24,040
Speaker 24: I don't know what the betting markets would have been

1822
01:33:24,080 --> 01:33:26,800
Speaker 24: on that, but it was. It was an important feat

1823
01:33:26,840 --> 01:33:29,080
Speaker 24: and something I think to bring in a band of

1824
01:33:29,120 --> 01:33:32,879
Speaker 24: disruptors and permanent. Washington doesn't like that, and Pete Hegseth

1825
01:33:32,960 --> 01:33:34,800
Speaker 24: was at the top of the list. They didn't beat

1826
01:33:34,840 --> 01:33:37,360
Speaker 24: him then, and every you know, every few weeks now

1827
01:33:37,400 --> 01:33:39,640
Speaker 24: you'll see some sort of fake story to try to

1828
01:33:39,760 --> 01:33:43,160
Speaker 24: gin up opposition, and Democrats reflexively call for his resignation.

1829
01:33:43,240 --> 01:33:46,040
Speaker 10: It's kind of a joke. And that's all this is.

1830
01:33:46,080 --> 01:33:50,280
Speaker 24: Because I've reviewed not only the video, but also the

1831
01:33:50,439 --> 01:33:54,040
Speaker 24: legal justification, the legal memorandum that's forty plus pages. It's

1832
01:33:54,160 --> 01:33:58,240
Speaker 24: very clear, Chris, the press, the Congress delegated to the

1833
01:33:58,240 --> 01:34:00,920
Speaker 24: President the authority to designate rorist organizations.

1834
01:34:00,960 --> 01:34:01,679
Speaker 10: That's what he's done.

1835
01:34:01,720 --> 01:34:06,640
Speaker 24: He's designated for a handful of cartels as terrorist organizations

1836
01:34:06,640 --> 01:34:10,400
Speaker 24: transnational because they're moving people in drugs into the United

1837
01:34:10,400 --> 01:34:13,240
Speaker 24: States and one hundred thousand people a year dying from

1838
01:34:13,280 --> 01:34:17,000
Speaker 24: the poison. So he's right to do that. And just

1839
01:34:17,120 --> 01:34:19,720
Speaker 24: like we've done in other parts of the world. The

1840
01:34:19,760 --> 01:34:22,280
Speaker 24: Commander in Chief, then the Department now the Department of War,

1841
01:34:22,360 --> 01:34:24,840
Speaker 24: and then of course who he designates. Admiral Bradley has

1842
01:34:24,840 --> 01:34:26,960
Speaker 24: the ability to take out those terrorists who were on

1843
01:34:27,040 --> 01:34:29,120
Speaker 24: a mission to poison Americans, and that's what happened, and

1844
01:34:29,160 --> 01:34:32,639
Speaker 24: so they're mad about it. They it started with, of course,

1845
01:34:32,680 --> 01:34:35,679
Speaker 24: that there was this was an order to kill everybody.

1846
01:34:35,680 --> 01:34:37,679
Speaker 24: That was debunked. Then it was this was an illegal

1847
01:34:37,720 --> 01:34:40,360
Speaker 24: war crime that was debunked. Now they're just left with

1848
01:34:40,439 --> 01:34:43,080
Speaker 24: they don't like the policy, and look, you can have

1849
01:34:43,120 --> 01:34:46,000
Speaker 24: that debate in this country. But the problem is they

1850
01:34:46,200 --> 01:34:48,479
Speaker 24: tried to make it something that it wasn't and thoroughly

1851
01:34:48,479 --> 01:34:49,439
Speaker 24: embarrassed themselves.

1852
01:34:50,760 --> 01:34:55,120
Speaker 2: The president's address this week nineteen minutes. Never seen the

1853
01:34:55,160 --> 01:34:58,640
Speaker 2: president speak that concisely, quite frankly, but he had a

1854
01:34:58,680 --> 01:35:01,000
Speaker 2: lot to say. He delivered it all well, kind of

1855
01:35:01,080 --> 01:35:03,280
Speaker 2: laid out a record that I don't think has been

1856
01:35:03,360 --> 01:35:05,800
Speaker 2: very fairly covered, and not just by mainstream media, which

1857
01:35:05,800 --> 01:35:09,439
Speaker 2: we would expect. I think even some conservative media, podcast

1858
01:35:09,439 --> 01:35:12,280
Speaker 2: world or whatever has been I think unfairly critical of

1859
01:35:12,320 --> 01:35:14,639
Speaker 2: this president who's been sort of a one man wrecking ball,

1860
01:35:14,960 --> 01:35:18,280
Speaker 2: and he laid it out I think pretty effectively Wednesday night.

1861
01:35:18,360 --> 01:35:21,000
Speaker 24: Your reaction, I agree, and I think to what twenty

1862
01:35:21,040 --> 01:35:24,160
Speaker 24: twenty six is going to be about is making sure

1863
01:35:24,280 --> 01:35:27,439
Speaker 24: and communicating the successes that we've had in twenty twenty five.

1864
01:35:27,479 --> 01:35:28,320
Speaker 10: There's still more to do.

1865
01:35:28,400 --> 01:35:31,720
Speaker 24: I'm not dismissing that, but when you talk about what

1866
01:35:31,880 --> 01:35:34,320
Speaker 24: real people care about. No tax on tips, he's a

1867
01:35:34,400 --> 01:35:37,040
Speaker 24: real people, right. No tax on overtime. My dad works

1868
01:35:37,040 --> 01:35:38,880
Speaker 24: seven days a week and the midnight shift.

1869
01:35:38,960 --> 01:35:39,120
Speaker 10: Right.

1870
01:35:39,560 --> 01:35:41,640
Speaker 24: If you're not being taxed on overtime and rewarding that

1871
01:35:41,680 --> 01:35:43,400
Speaker 24: hard work, that's something that's going to matter to you.

1872
01:35:43,479 --> 01:35:45,840
Speaker 24: We have a secure border. Literally, we had twenty million

1873
01:35:45,840 --> 01:35:48,519
Speaker 24: people come here legally in four years. Now, no one's

1874
01:35:48,560 --> 01:35:51,639
Speaker 24: getting through the southern border. That's a huge accomplishment. You've

1875
01:35:51,640 --> 01:35:54,760
Speaker 24: got these Trump accounts, they're being seated. When when a

1876
01:35:54,880 --> 01:35:57,760
Speaker 24: new baby is born now with one thousand dollars, that

1877
01:35:57,800 --> 01:36:00,000
Speaker 24: can mean hundreds of thousands of dollars by the time

1878
01:36:00,080 --> 01:36:02,840
Speaker 24: they retire, just by way of normal investment. There's a

1879
01:36:02,840 --> 01:36:04,439
Speaker 24: lot of great things that are happening that we need

1880
01:36:04,479 --> 01:36:07,640
Speaker 24: to talk about. You've got inflation coming down. He inherited

1881
01:36:07,640 --> 01:36:11,280
Speaker 24: a mess, a four year train wreck, and so a

1882
01:36:11,320 --> 01:36:13,200
Speaker 24: lot of that stuff that people feel isn't going to

1883
01:36:13,240 --> 01:36:15,720
Speaker 24: happen overnight. Although gas prices are down a lot of

1884
01:36:15,720 --> 01:36:17,920
Speaker 24: the things like remember the whole egg what about egg

1885
01:36:17,960 --> 01:36:20,679
Speaker 24: prices that came to you know, the Democrats just moved

1886
01:36:20,720 --> 01:36:21,960
Speaker 24: from one thing to another.

1887
01:36:22,720 --> 01:36:25,240
Speaker 10: But I think the record is pretty incredible.

1888
01:36:25,800 --> 01:36:28,640
Speaker 24: We did the recisions packages and save ten billion, We eliminated,

1889
01:36:28,840 --> 01:36:31,240
Speaker 24: finally cut funding for NPR. There's a lot of things

1890
01:36:31,240 --> 01:36:33,280
Speaker 24: in there that we're going to get a chance to

1891
01:36:33,280 --> 01:36:35,080
Speaker 24: talk about. And I'm glad President Trump took the time

1892
01:36:35,160 --> 01:36:37,639
Speaker 24: last night to outline that because I think as him

1893
01:36:37,880 --> 01:36:41,280
Speaker 24: and JD. Vance get on the road, which you're seeing

1894
01:36:41,320 --> 01:36:43,400
Speaker 24: them do now, that's the things they're going to talk about.

1895
01:36:43,479 --> 01:36:46,479
Speaker 24: And if you pull those things individually or collectively, they're

1896
01:36:46,520 --> 01:36:50,559
Speaker 24: incredibly popular. But the mainstream media has just dominated by

1897
01:36:50,600 --> 01:36:51,880
Speaker 24: this controversy of the day.

1898
01:36:51,920 --> 01:36:54,759
Speaker 10: And I'll close with this, Chris, that's part of the strategy.

1899
01:36:54,840 --> 01:36:57,000
Speaker 24: So we're talking about the Venezuela and the boat strikes

1900
01:36:57,000 --> 01:36:59,120
Speaker 24: and all that. That's part of the Democrats' strategy is

1901
01:36:59,200 --> 01:37:02,400
Speaker 24: to create k to have a government shutdown, to have

1902
01:37:02,439 --> 01:37:06,479
Speaker 24: some new controversy so that CNN and MSNBC and NBC,

1903
01:37:06,720 --> 01:37:09,000
Speaker 24: and that's what they're talking about, and they're not talking

1904
01:37:09,040 --> 01:37:10,080
Speaker 24: about the real successes.

1905
01:37:11,560 --> 01:37:16,240
Speaker 2: Senator Schmidt congratulations on being sued by China. Powerful stuff,

1906
01:37:16,439 --> 01:37:18,280
Speaker 2: and a merry Christmas to you, my friend. I can't

1907
01:37:18,280 --> 01:37:19,519
Speaker 2: wait to talk to you in twenty six.

1908
01:37:20,120 --> 01:37:22,080
Speaker 10: Merry Christmas, take care, Thank you you too.

1909
01:37:22,600 --> 01:37:25,920
Speaker 2: Interesting. Cackle Bridges was invited on The Kimmel Show Give

1910
01:37:25,920 --> 01:37:28,679
Speaker 2: Me Number forty eight here and Cackle Bridges was asked

1911
01:37:28,680 --> 01:37:31,479
Speaker 2: about the Epstein files. Fast Eddie, I guess those are

1912
01:37:31,479 --> 01:37:34,439
Speaker 2: supposed to come out today? Right? Is my understanding? We're

1913
01:37:34,439 --> 01:37:38,360
Speaker 2: supposed to see information or everything that's supposed to be

1914
01:37:38,760 --> 01:37:40,559
Speaker 2: with you know, I mean the Department of Justice will

1915
01:37:40,600 --> 01:37:43,280
Speaker 2: redact names, but apparently everything that we're able to see

1916
01:37:43,800 --> 01:37:46,080
Speaker 2: used to be released today, as my understanding. Okay, today

1917
01:37:46,160 --> 01:37:46,720
Speaker 2: is all of it?

1918
01:37:47,240 --> 01:37:49,240
Speaker 7: Because we got that, we got the photos, we got

1919
01:37:49,280 --> 01:37:53,240
Speaker 7: the Lolita writing. Now everything's going to be today.

1920
01:37:53,240 --> 01:37:56,879
Speaker 2: Okay, Oh listen, I promise whatever comes out today Monday,

1921
01:37:56,880 --> 01:37:58,960
Speaker 2: we will hear. And over the weekend what we'll hear

1922
01:37:59,000 --> 01:38:02,880
Speaker 2: it's not enough or you're protecting so and so. All right,

1923
01:38:02,880 --> 01:38:06,120
Speaker 2: here's Kimmel asking a profound question for once of Cackle

1924
01:38:06,120 --> 01:38:07,560
Speaker 2: Bridges and the Biden administration.

1925
01:38:08,880 --> 01:38:13,280
Speaker 20: Why did the Biden administration release those files? Was that

1926
01:38:13,400 --> 01:38:16,960
Speaker 20: something that they felt would look bad while with running

1927
01:38:16,960 --> 01:38:19,479
Speaker 20: against this guy, or why didn't they come out during

1928
01:38:19,479 --> 01:38:22,160
Speaker 20: your administration to give.

1929
01:38:22,000 --> 01:38:24,439
Speaker 5: You an answer that will not satisfy your curiosity. I

1930
01:38:24,520 --> 01:38:29,760
Speaker 5: will tell you we perhaps to our damage, but we

1931
01:38:30,280 --> 01:38:34,040
Speaker 5: strongly and rightly believed that there should be an absolute

1932
01:38:34,400 --> 01:38:38,479
Speaker 5: separation between what we wanted as an administration and what

1933
01:38:38,520 --> 01:38:42,920
Speaker 5: the Department of Justice did. We absolutely adhere to that,

1934
01:38:43,560 --> 01:38:46,479
Speaker 5: and it was right to do that. The Justice Department

1935
01:38:46,560 --> 01:38:52,600
Speaker 5: would make its decisions independent of any political or personal vendetta.

1936
01:38:53,200 --> 01:38:57,280
Speaker 2: Or that's enough, So that's amazing. Now. Of course that

1937
01:38:57,360 --> 01:38:59,920
Speaker 2: answer would not work for Democrats with Donald Trump? Would

1938
01:39:01,120 --> 01:39:03,840
Speaker 2: would Democrats tolerate Donald Trump saying I don't have anything

1939
01:39:03,880 --> 01:39:05,960
Speaker 2: to do with it. If Pam BONDI wants to release it, fine,

1940
01:39:05,960 --> 01:39:09,720
Speaker 2: but I'm out. Has that worked for Donald Trump? Let

1941
01:39:09,720 --> 01:39:11,320
Speaker 2: the DOJ do what they want to do with it,

1942
01:39:11,360 --> 01:39:14,639
Speaker 2: but I'm out. They don't hold Trump to the same standard,

1943
01:39:14,640 --> 01:39:18,240
Speaker 2: do they. She's saying it's the DJ's responsibility to release

1944
01:39:18,280 --> 01:39:21,080
Speaker 2: it. It wasn't ours. It was up to Merrick Garland. Well, Similarly,

1945
01:39:21,520 --> 01:39:24,280
Speaker 2: it was supposedly up to Merrick Garland as to whether

1946
01:39:24,360 --> 01:39:26,280
Speaker 2: or not he should raid Donald Trump's house, and he

1947
01:39:26,320 --> 01:39:28,479
Speaker 2: decided to go forward with that when the FBI said

1948
01:39:28,479 --> 01:39:32,400
Speaker 2: not to very very interesting how much power and autonomy

1949
01:39:32,400 --> 01:39:37,439
Speaker 2: Mery Garland had and Democrats seem fine with that. Bobby

1950
01:39:37,520 --> 01:39:40,600
Speaker 2: Kennedy yesterday dropping some truth bombs on the whole transgender

1951
01:39:40,640 --> 01:39:44,519
Speaker 2: industrial complex. Number fifty three, very important stuff yesterday.

1952
01:39:45,920 --> 01:39:49,720
Speaker 25: Doctors assume a solemn obligation to protect the children. Yeah,

1953
01:39:49,840 --> 01:39:54,200
Speaker 25: doctors across the country now provide needless and irreversible sex

1954
01:39:54,240 --> 01:40:00,120
Speaker 25: rejecting procedures that violate their sacred hypocraticals andjering the very

1955
01:40:00,160 --> 01:40:05,560
Speaker 25: lives that they are sworn to safeguard. The American Medical Association,

1956
01:40:05,760 --> 01:40:10,240
Speaker 25: the American Academy of Pediatrics battled the lie that chemical

1957
01:40:10,360 --> 01:40:14,200
Speaker 25: and surgical sex rejecting procedures could be good for children

1958
01:40:14,400 --> 01:40:19,639
Speaker 25: who suffer from gender ysphoria. They betrayed the estimated three

1959
01:40:19,760 --> 01:40:24,800
Speaker 25: hundred thousand American youths ages thirteen to seventeen conditioned to

1960
01:40:24,840 --> 01:40:28,880
Speaker 25: believe that sex can be changed. They betrayed their hippocratic

1961
01:40:28,920 --> 01:40:32,559
Speaker 25: oaths to do no harm. So called gender affirming care

1962
01:40:32,640 --> 01:40:37,759
Speaker 25: has inflicted lasting physical and psychological damage on vulnerable young people.

1963
01:40:38,560 --> 01:40:43,120
Speaker 25: This is not medicine, it is malpractice. We're done with

1964
01:40:43,240 --> 01:40:48,880
Speaker 25: junk science driven by ideological pursuits, not the well being

1965
01:40:48,920 --> 01:40:51,320
Speaker 25: of children be reviewed.

1966
01:40:51,520 --> 01:40:54,320
Speaker 2: Amen. Amen. And as such, he said, I signed the

1967
01:40:54,360 --> 01:40:58,280
Speaker 2: declaration rejecting procedures that are neither safe nor effective treatment

1968
01:40:58,280 --> 01:41:01,880
Speaker 2: for children with gender dysphoria. Amen. Amen. God bless you,

1969
01:41:01,960 --> 01:41:05,880
Speaker 2: Bobby Kennedy. God bless the Trump administerstration for calling out

1970
01:41:05,880 --> 01:41:09,880
Speaker 2: this scourge for what it is. They will should. Hey,

1971
01:41:09,920 --> 01:41:11,200
Speaker 2: by the way, thank you so much. I have to

1972
01:41:11,240 --> 01:41:13,600
Speaker 2: say quickly thank you for your generous giving to the

1973
01:41:13,640 --> 01:41:16,160
Speaker 2: Angel Tree campaign. This continues, by the way, if you'd

1974
01:41:16,200 --> 01:41:17,960
Speaker 2: like to give, and you haven't yet, we're still five

1975
01:41:18,040 --> 01:41:20,519
Speaker 2: days out from Christmas. To give a great gift to

1976
