I'm gonna start 11 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 1: off with some news, give you a war update, and 12 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,560 Speaker 1: I will give you some updates and some political stuff 13 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,480 Speaker 1: that's happening. I'm just going to tell you a little 14 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,600 Speaker 1: bit about what I'm doing right now, and it is 15 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: a pretty exciting week for me. I'm meeting with some 16 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: of the biggest CEOs in the world. As I've been 17 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: following around. The Commerce Secretary Howard la Nick. We've got 18 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: some exclusives coming up with him, big profile on how 19 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:07,679 Speaker 1: Trump is trying to revitalize the government's relationship with Silicon 20 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 1: Valley in a lot of ways because of the AI 21 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 1: gold rush that's on right now. I'll talk a little 22 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 1: bit about that today as well, and then we'll have 23 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,040 Speaker 1: some more variety for you later in the show and 24 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 1: to play some more fun clips from the oscars that 25 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: I feel like I'd be blowing an opportunity if I 26 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: can get to that, plus some good economic news. But 27 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: I'll tell you those of you who are not watching 28 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: the feeds on the Salem News Channel at night or 29 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 1: on my YouTube or am I rumble you are missing 30 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,039 Speaker 1: that I am dressed head to toe in green because 31 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: it is Saint Patrick's Day. You know, I'm one quarter Irish, 32 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:41,040 Speaker 1: so Josephine, divine, my grandmother, the most beloved of them all, 33 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 1: just the sweetest woman from Ireland. And a fun fact 34 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:45,960 Speaker 1: about Saint Patrick's Day. As far as I know, I 35 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 1: don't think Saint Patrick was actually born in Ireland. He 36 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: kind of adopted Ireland as his home. And so today 37 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: is the day that we wear green and I guess celebrate, 38 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: but it feels like another one of these holidays where 39 00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,919 Speaker 1: we lost the plot a little bit and just became 40 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: an excuse to get loaded on a Tuesday, which is 41 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: not something we're lacking in this country. It's not one 42 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: of the things that we're we usually do a pretty 43 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: good job coming up with exclusives to excuses to get 44 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: loaded in the middle of the week. It's not necessarily 45 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: something that's a positive trait. It's kind of sad that 46 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: we Irish are associated with just public drunkenness and stuff 47 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: like that. But since we're on the subject, I will 48 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,519 Speaker 1: say about thirty pounds ago, I used to be in 49 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: a craft beer and not a big Guinness guy. But 50 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: for those of you who are afraid of it because 51 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,399 Speaker 1: it's dark, it's actually a light beer, so people don't 52 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 1: realize that it's like four percent alcohol. And if you're 53 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: going to go for the Irish whiskey, skip the jamison, 54 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: go for the red breast cask strength if you can 55 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 1: find it, which maybe you can't today, but if you can, 56 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: that's the good one. And it's not overly expensive. You 57 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: can get it, and that's a real good much better 58 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: than all that. But you know, maybe maybe say an 59 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,839 Speaker 1: extra prayer for an irishman in your life and give 60 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: Sean a big hug. Who is a Sean. You've got 61 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: to be Irish, right, I've never asked, but it's the 62 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: I and Scott and Scott. See that's why I was 63 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: afraid because I knew it was one of the other 64 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 1: so Irish and Scottish. All right, So happy Saint Patrick's 65 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: Day to all of you. And I am on the 66 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: road so I won't get to eat green cream cheese 67 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: with my children today. Where did that tradition come from? 68 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,959 Speaker 1: Where you get the store bought bagel that they die 69 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 1: and the green food coloring they meet the cream cheese 70 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 1: with the green food coloring. That is so lame. And 71 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: I disavow as an irishman, I disavow that tradition. Throw 72 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: it out, get rid of it. There's nothing to do 73 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: with island, is nothing to do with the holiday, and 74 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: is not even good. It's just confusing and it makes 75 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: my kids confused. And I just I don't want it. 76 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: I don't want it. I'm out, I'm out on it. Okay, 77 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: all right, it's getting the news. So war updates, A 78 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: good one, a bad one. Good one is at Israel's 79 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: killed the top two Iranian security officials. This is a 80 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: huge blow to Tehran's leadership, which the media is now 81 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: trying to frame up as somehow winning the war, somehow 82 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,839 Speaker 1: has got the upper hand. And all of this is 83 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: a sign that they don't. Iran is struggling mightily, and 84 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: there was a ten million dollar prize on one of 85 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: the men that was killed, and apparently he was the 86 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 1: citizens of Iran tipped off Israel to where this guy 87 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: was and said they would do it for free, even 88 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: though it was a ten million dollar prize. I think 89 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 1: that's very cool, and I know it's very trendy online 90 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: these days to say negative stuff about Israel and to 91 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 1: act as though Donald Trump is being puppeteered by Israel 92 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: despite any hard evidence whatsoever that's happening. But their intelligence 93 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: is just bar none, absolutely the best in the world 94 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: pound four pound and just continued to one day after 95 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: the next. It seems like I'm bringing forward another thing 96 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 1: that they found out that is gonna mean one of 97 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: the bad guys dead now. So Iran's efforts to retaliate 98 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:53,599 Speaker 1: against our allies is still a thing. We saw some 99 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 1: attacks taking place on the UAE and their energy infrastructure, 100 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: gas field set of blaze. One tanker was struck. The 101 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,039 Speaker 1: straight of war moves none. This is good, but hopefully 102 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: that our allies in the area we're getting attacked are 103 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 1: understanding that this threat was always out there and it 104 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 1: is a bad thing for Iran to get more powerful. 105 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: So that's the thing that hopefully that'll be the takeaway. 106 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: I think it will be. But certainly there are some 107 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:20,840 Speaker 1: intense theaters of this war at this moment. We are 108 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: seeing I think another lack of development on my big 109 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 1: story of the day yesterday, which is the straight of 110 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: war moves, which is the lynchpin here too. I think 111 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,359 Speaker 1: Trump flipping the narrative politically is getting the straight of 112 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,280 Speaker 1: war moves open, and I think this is the first 113 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,119 Speaker 1: real stepback that we've seen in now it's been almost 114 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: three weeks of the war, over two and a half 115 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: weeks into this war. The fact that the strait is 116 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: open and Trump has not had an easy time opening 117 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: it up, that does seem to be the big thing 118 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: that is causing problems for him, I think at home, 119 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: and because maybe this is something that we hadn't seen 120 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: and it's something that could really affect a lot of commerce, 121 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 1: business and American life if it continues. It also is 122 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,720 Speaker 1: a sign that we don't of total control over the situation, 123 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,600 Speaker 1: which is it's wark so it's very hard to have 124 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 1: total control. But that is the weak point, and our 125 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: allies have not come to our defense. Trump is kind 126 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 1: of said, we don't need them, but it really would 127 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: be nice to get some help. And so just the 128 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: schizophrenic messaging suggests that this is not going according to 129 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: plan with the straight which Iran is stealing control over. 130 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 1: And I think it's very important to understand that this 131 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: is the key. He's got to get it open somehow, 132 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,839 Speaker 1: and if our allies won't help, then we should have 133 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 1: a problem with them, because this is essential. Trump's got 134 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: to get this done. Master negotiator, negotiate with anyone, but 135 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: he's got to get a figure out a way to 136 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: get this thing open and probably bring in allies to 137 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: do so. It would be the best move. And the 138 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: dogs are out right now. A lead story on Politico 139 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:47,239 Speaker 1: earlier today, they hold the cards now. Trump allies fear 140 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 1: Iran is slipping beyond the President's control. That was quoted 141 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: as in the least during the Daily Mail. All of 142 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: this is anonymous. This is from a source close to 143 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: the White House. Whatever that means. I'll tell you the 144 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: fake news the enemy of the people. Trump has that right. 145 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: All this is designed to hurt America's war effort. And 146 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: I will tell you is someone who is skeptical of 147 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: the war, lightly positive on it, but skeptical. I'll tell 148 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: you that it is very difficult when the biggest objectors 149 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: are objectors at home, when we're dealing with maybe the 150 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: worst nation in the world arguably. I mean, I guess 151 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: you could make a case of China or North Korea, 152 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: but Iron's definitely up there for does the most harm 153 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: on Earth at the moment we took a shot at them. 154 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: It went pretty well, the opening salvo, and just to 155 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: have everyone just running away from it instantly after all 156 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 1: of the goodwill, I think Trump is built up on 157 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: his foreign policy. I find that to be a little 158 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: short sighted and I don't have a lot of tolerance 159 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: for it, and that comes from both the left and 160 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: now the right. A big news today is Joe Kent, 161 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: who is a favorite of the anti war right and 162 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: someone who has earned all, I think a lot of 163 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: respect from my audience and from a bright Bird audience 164 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: over the years. He's resigning as the Director of National 165 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: counter Terrorism in the National counter Terrorism Center, for which 166 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: I think he works under Tulci Gabbard the DN I there, 167 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: and that's a big loss. And he is someone who 168 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 1: I think is one of the most I think articulate 169 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: spokespeople for why the over interventionism has not gone particularly 170 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: well for America. And I think that that voice is 171 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: a valid voice. But for him just to quit right away. 172 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: I just have you noticed how a lot of the 173 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: people who are have a real lane that they've run 174 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: in for years, who go win in the Trump administration, 175 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: most of them have hung tough. I'm thinking of Tulsi Gabbard, 176 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 1: I'm thinking of guys like Robert Kennedy. I mean, you know, 177 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: people who are not agreeing with every single move that 178 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: Trump's making, that they're understanding that Trump is a high 179 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: energy individual who likes to get things done. He likes 180 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,199 Speaker 1: to break the rules, he likes to push things. He's 181 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: not an incrementalist. He likes to push dramatic change, and 182 00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: that's what he's doing. And I would like for a 183 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: little more leeway than two and a half weeks. Sorry, 184 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,199 Speaker 1: just sorry, Joe Kent. A mad respect for you in 185 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 1: a lot of other ways, but it's a we need 186 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 1: to have a little more than two weeks when we're 187 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 1: talking about people who are when we're talking about trying 188 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: to defeat one of the evil regimes on the planet, 189 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: and we got off to a pre great start. Remember 190 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 1: we went from Iatola Kamane, who had been holding power 191 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 1: for decades, talking about America's a great Satan, relentlessly developing 192 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 1: news ballistic missiles, funding every single tear proxy in the region, 193 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: to the Gayetola who may or may not be gay 194 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 1: and may or may not be a cardboard cutout and 195 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,839 Speaker 1: barely even speaks and his own dad didn't want him 196 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 1: to be the Ayah Toola because he was too stupid, 197 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 1: according to reports. So we accomplish all that right away, 198 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,319 Speaker 1: and I feel like there could be more good to come. 199 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: But ye of little faith, if this one could age 200 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 1: very badly for Joe Kent and others who are running 201 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: away now a lot of words of caution. I will 202 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: continue to vocalize those in this shit shoh. But let's 203 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 1: give this a second. This is war, this is not 204 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: patty cakes. We'll be right back on the Alex Marlow Show. 205 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 1: One thing that I do for my nutrition is I 206 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 1: try to keep things simple. I try to eat whole foods, 207 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:19,959 Speaker 1: and one of the reasons why is because whole foods 208 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,839 Speaker 1: have phido nutrients, the natural compound that your body uses 209 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 1: to adjust and repair and respond every single day. Balance 210 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: of Nature takes produce through a tailor vacuum cold process 211 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: that stabilizes the phyto nutrition.

Back in 220 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: the show, we're talking about Roan, give you some updates, 221 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 1: and I'm noting how winning the war at home is 222 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 1: so important. And we're not just losing people in the Left. 223 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: We're losing people on our own coalition now with Joe 224 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,839 Speaker 1: Kent as now a conscientious objector stepping down. And it's 225 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 1: interesting because a lot of people who are extremely online 226 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: on the online right are starting to sound like the 227 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,559 Speaker 1: extremely online left, and it's very dangerous. I think we're 228 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 1: all conscious that this is happening. Indulging a lot of 229 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:33,680 Speaker 1: feud culture and just trying to find I guess the 230 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: expression is but actually or what about? And they're just 231 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 1: fine to find ways to object to things where they 232 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: could just ride out a little bit more. But I'm 233 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: just seeing more and more people on our sides sound like, 234 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: oh no, let's say joy Read for example, formerly of 235 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 1: ms now but even too radical over there? Can we 236 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 1: play cut nine guys. 237 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 3: Our regem has secret police. They have secret police. Our 238 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,680 Speaker 3: regime is oppressing women, taking away abortion rights, taking away 239 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 3: women's rights in like twenty six country, twenty six states, 240 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 3: some states where they're trying to have the death penalty 241 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 3: for having an abortion. They also oppress women. They have 242 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 3: the highest rate of women who are in stem careers. 243 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 3: We're kicking women out of the military, out of university. 244 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,200 Speaker 3: We're saying that DEI means women can't be hired for 245 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 3: high positions in the sciences. So we're marginally better. And 246 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 3: we're doing it for Christianity. They're doing it for Islam right. 247 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: They have legal inequality built into the system in Iran. 248 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: They fund, of course, terror all over the world. Every 249 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: major tear attack on America and our allies in decades, 250 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: has had a radium money behind it, but the forced 251 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 1: women to wear jobs they are men are violent against women, 252 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 1: they can do so basically with impunity. It is just 253 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: NonStop oppression of women, and yet we're treating it as 254 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: though America, where if you look at President the United States, 255 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 1: if you look at his White House, just one woman 256 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 1: after the next and top tier position. Women now greatly 257 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 1: outpaced men in terms of colleges, college graduation. Women are 258 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,319 Speaker 1: as free in this country as they are anywhere on Earth, 259 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: and we have the American left equating it to Iran 260 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 1: that is openly hostile to women. If I was an 261 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 1: Iranian right now and I heard a clip like this, 262 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 1: I would just be laughing maniacally. I would say, these 263 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,199 Speaker 1: people have gone so insane with their hatred for Donald 264 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 1: Trump that they actually think we're the good guys. And 265 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 1: we've been calling them satan for decades, so it just 266 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: shows you. It's pretty nuts, and it's very disrespectful of 267 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: all the people who are political prisoners have been murdered 268 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: by the Iranian regime. But they don't care because the 269 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,439 Speaker 1: Left is not about being accurate or consistent. It's about 270 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 1: pushing what they want politically, and that's what they're doing 271 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: over the MSNBC crowd. You know, joy Read left MSNBC. 272 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: But sometimes I feel like you can take the joy 273 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,439 Speaker 1: Read out of the MSNBC, but you can't take the 274 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: MSNBC out of joy Read. So stocks up a little bit, 275 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 1: by the way, not much, but pretty flat. But there's 276 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 1: still hope. I think most people have hope. And again, 277 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 1: sometimes if you just got a log off, throw the 278 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,560 Speaker 1: Marlow Show in, maybe catch up with those extra podcasts 279 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 1: in your headphones, don't look at your screens all day. 280 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 1: Very valid use of your time, because things are not 281 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 1: quite as horrible as everyone would say. And I will 282 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 1: note that later in the show we're going to break 283 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 1: down some pretty positive economic news that came in, which 284 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 1: is nice, all right. One thing that's not as positive, though, 285 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: I got to hit, is we're seeing debate on the 286 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: Save Act, which it was the Save America Act. That's 287 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: better branding. And John Thune is preparing to get some 288 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 1: sort of a vote going, but I don't really follow 289 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: what he's trying to do. He wants to have the 290 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: Democrats get on record with a vote, but he's not 291 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 1: going to make them do the talking filibuster, which I 292 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: think is would be great. Make them stand up there 293 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 1: and make sure that they fill the time, and let's 294 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: hear what they got to say, and I'll get a 295 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 1: bunch of clips from the show. I love the filibusters 296 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 1: for the show because we always get incredible audio for that. 297 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 1: But I don't really see what the objective is. And everyone, 298 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: I guess will eventually get on record, but I don't 299 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: see any path to passing this unless we remove the 300 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: actual filibuster, not the talking phil about the literal filibuster. 301 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 1: And if we do that, then what's going to happen 302 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 1: is that we will have a chance to pass more 303 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: of our agenda before the Democrats have a chance to 304 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: blow it up themselves if they ever have the opportunity 305 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 1: to in the future, which they will. They've always talked 306 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: about it and they probably will, so us not delaying 307 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 1: just means that less of our agenda is going to 308 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 1: go through and we're just going to get dunked on 309 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 1: doubly when the Democrats do so themselves down the road, 310 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 1: which is inevitable. So it's just very sad because the 311 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 1: Save America Act could say, really save our country. It 312 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 1: is just so essential for a number of reasons, but 313 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 1: most importantly because this will restore integrity to our elections, 314 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: which not only is an important point because we want 315 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 1: to have free and fear elections, we want to have 316 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 1: trust in our system. So it's going to remove a 317 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: legal aliens in the voter rolls. And Trump's thrown in 318 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 1: some other stuff that we like, the very friendly to 319 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 1: the base, like no more transgender for everyone, provisions like that, 320 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: But overall, the main point is we need to restore 321 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: integrity to our elections, and the widespread cheat by mail, 322 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 1: as I call it, has been a complete disaster for 323 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 1: this country, the fact that we don't police our voter 324 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 1: roles and we allow for illegal aliens to dominate those 325 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: voter roles. Obviously, the Democrats intend to have illegal aliens vote. 326 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: They've been very clear about this in many cases, and 327 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 1: they are already voting in local elections the goals get 328 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 1: them voting in national elections. They don't care if they cheat, 329 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 1: so long as they win. You know this over and 330 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 1: over again. Consider that how they back on a guy 331 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: with the Nazi tattoo when they've been calling us Nazis forever. 332 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 1: All they care about his victory that's where they cheat 333 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 1: in elections. That's why we need to Save America Act, 334 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: even if it means removing the Filbuster. I'm Alex Marlow. 335 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: I'll be right back.

These iconic 340 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 1: brands are part of the American story. And I've been 341 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 1: for over one hundred years with everyone talking about American jobs. Lately, 342 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 1: the companies behind these beverages have been walking the walk 343 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 1: the whole time. America's beverage companies are making American products 344 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 1: with American workers in American hometowns. They employ over two 345 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: hundred seventy five thousand men and women in all fifty states. 346 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: These are people who show up every day, do the work, 347 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 1: and deliver for our economy and our communities. See for 348 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 1: yourself everything they're doing at we Deliver for America dot Org. 349 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 1: Try back on The Marlow Show. One thing that I'm 350 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: really trying to caution people in the MAGA right is 351 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,680 Speaker 1: just don't get too discouraged because we had a couple 352 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,119 Speaker 1: of weeks where we love the news cycle. Because the 353 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 1: left now is Caesus as an opportunity to try to 354 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,120 Speaker 1: divide us, try to drive a wedge. The Washington Post, 355 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,200 Speaker 1: which is owned by world's second richest man, Jeff Bezos, 356 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 1: is an article out in the last couple of days 357 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 1: about how maybe Maga is cringe now that Maga is 358 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 1: no longer cool, that are five minutes of being cool 359 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,360 Speaker 1: is over? And all of this is just completely absurd 360 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 1: because given what the check out some of the clips 361 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 1: that I played yesterday, if guys missed yesterday, show of 362 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 1: playing some people in the Hollywood left and the way 363 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,639 Speaker 1: they talk about this country. These are the cringiest people 364 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 1: on the planet. Here, let me play one I got 365 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: Jane Fond of This is Jane Fond on the red 366 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 1: carpet at the Oscars yesterday. Let's play cut one. Please. 367 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 4: Burgers are gonna be bad for workers. A lot of 368 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 4: people are gonna lose their jobs. We're gonna have higher prices, 369 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:33,239 Speaker 4: We're gonna have political control over what we do. You know, 370 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 4: that's why heg Seth said, the Secretary of Defense. Oh 371 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 4: we said, we can't have CNN can't come soon enough 372 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 4: to be under the control of paramount, because we know 373 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:50,719 Speaker 4: that Trump wants to hurt I mean, I slept with 374 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,439 Speaker 4: the guy that created it. You did you have a 375 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 4: personal stake in it. It did not take positions. It 376 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 4: reported the news and to see what's happening. And so 377 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 4: we have to we have to stop. In order to 378 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 4: get the permission to do the merger, they had to 379 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 4: cave to what or they felt they had to cave 380 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 4: to what Trump wanted, which was fire the anyway. But 381 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 4: we're gonna win. I mean, we're gonna win. 382 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 1: It's like I should probably interrupt with the commentary, but 383 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,680 Speaker 1: I can't. How do you beat it? We're gonna win. 384 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,160 Speaker 1: It's the she has an a vested steak and CNN 385 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,440 Speaker 1: because she made intercourse to Ted Turner, I guess half 386 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,440 Speaker 1: a century ago. I mean, but Washington Post is out 387 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: there saying Maggi is cringe. It's just a an incredibly 388 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 1: beautiful and talented is Jane Fonda is just just azing 389 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 1: like a fine whine. I just I mean, she sounds 390 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: like a total retard. I mean, it's just they've trod 391 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 1: her out there, and they keep giving the mic, guy 392 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 1: won't pull the mic back, and then they're trying to 393 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 1: act like where the cringe ones. All right, let me 394 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:54,160 Speaker 1: play a clip of Jennifer welch, this is cut three. 395 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,919 Speaker 1: Please go Joe Biden. 396 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 5: And I like Joe Biden. I was so excited when 397 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 5: he won. You had one important appointment. Who you appointed 398 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 5: to be attorney general? You should have said, look, you're 399 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 5: going to be independent, but if you're not interested in 400 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,439 Speaker 5: putting the people who paid for this in jails. The 401 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,719 Speaker 5: fact that that DOJ didn't take that seriously, that Biden 402 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 5: didn't tell Garland full tilt, follow the law, follow the facts. 403 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 5: But Jack Smith wasn't appointed for two years. That's where 404 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 5: did he did the Chipsack? Did he do the Infrastructure Act? 405 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:33,679 Speaker 5: Did you do all of those things? Yes, and all 406 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 5: of those are great, But the biggest threat now is 407 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:39,920 Speaker 5: that we had fascism at the door. 408 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 1: So she wanted more out of Biden's DOJ that persecuted Trump. 409 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,440 Speaker 1: So this is someone who's not read breaking the law. 410 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: So guys, Greg, we got to get a copy Jennifer. 411 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 1: While I'll sign it for her, get it out there, 412 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: show you what the DOJ did. She didn't even understand 413 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,399 Speaker 1: Biden's DJ it's a one hundred thousand person organization. And 414 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: the number two and three Lisa Mona Benita Gupta were 415 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 1: career activists under Garland. Garland was the veneer that allowed 416 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,160 Speaker 1: for the activists to operate at the DOJ. I break 417 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 1: it all down, and Joe Biden's White House coordinated all 418 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,680 Speaker 1: six major cases against President Trump. They threw all the 419 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 1: j sixers in jail for no reason, or some of 420 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 1: them for some reasons, but many of them for no reasons. 421 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 1: And so but just know that that we're on the brink. 422 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,880 Speaker 1: If we start pouting now and if we start being 423 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 1: too self critical, we need to be introspective. We'd be 424 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 1: too self critical, We're just going to hand back power 425 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,400 Speaker 1: to the people who want to throw us in jail 426 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,440 Speaker 1: or kill us. So important to note that, I think 427 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 1: it's really really important and we feel good about things. 428 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,399 Speaker 1: We got a strong bench coming up though. I was 429 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 1: very excited to see there's a debate going on for 430 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: the Kentucky GOP Senate primary where there's a couple of 431 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 1: McConnell back guys Andy Barr, who's uh in the Congress. Now, 432 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 1: we didn't seem like a bad guy, but it's just, 433 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: you know, Verry McConnell asking us a lot of bad votes. 434 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: And Daniel Cameron, who was the star of the twenty 435 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,119 Speaker 1: twenty RNC, gave really good speech there, but again just 436 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 1: can't stop praising Mitch McConnell, and we need to move 437 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 1: on for Mitch McConnell. So Nate Morris, who's been on 438 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 1: my podcast before and has been endorsed by Charlie Kirk 439 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 1: and Don Junior among others, So a bunch of top people. 440 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,159 Speaker 1: He had a really great line roasting bar yesterday in 441 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 1: the debate they had. I wanted to play this one. 442 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: Let's play cut seven please, folks. 443 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 6: How do you know when a career politician is lying, 444 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,640 Speaker 6: they're moving their lips. This is a guy who lies 445 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 6: with every breath that he takes. This is a guy 446 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,399 Speaker 6: that continues to let so many illegals into our country, 447 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,879 Speaker 6: millions and millions of illegals, folks. He said that we 448 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,640 Speaker 6: owe Afghany nationals, we owe it to them and allowing 449 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 6: them to come to our country. And we all saw 450 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 6: the tragedy over Thanksgiving. It was because of the Afghany 451 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,679 Speaker 6: immigrants that were unvetted that he led into our country 452 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 6: that caused that tragedy over Thanksgiving. Andy, you got bought 453 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 6: on your hands, and it's so sad to hear and 454 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:55,159 Speaker 6: listen to you live about you. 455 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 1: It's just busting him for a really bad vote. Just 456 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,199 Speaker 1: this whole thing that America's role is to just be 457 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 1: the doormat for the whole planet, for the third world, 458 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: to just be imported into this country. It just does 459 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: not make any sense. It's never worked, and we're watching it. 460 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 1: Europe has an accelerated version of this and it's going 461 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 1: horribly for them. It's really interesting because the State Department 462 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 1: slashed fees to renounce US citizenship, and this was portrayed 463 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 1: as some sort of a negative thing in the media. 464 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the ap right up of it, and 465 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 1: Marco Rubio looks very serious and maybe a little tired 466 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,919 Speaker 1: and sullid in the photo. But slashing fees apparently it 467 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,119 Speaker 1: costs money to renounce your citizenship from twenty three hundred 468 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,320 Speaker 1: dollars and they've cut it down to four and fifty dollars. 469 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 1: If you don't want to be here by all means leave. 470 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 1: It's a we want enthusiastic robust, exciting Americans. We want 471 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:50,400 Speaker 1: people who see this place as just the absolute cornucopia 472 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 1: of opportunity, that it is the place where if you 473 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 1: set your mind to a goal, you can achieve it. 474 00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,159 Speaker 1: And that's the attitude that is imbued I think with 475 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 1: Donald Trump and throughout his administration, and we need to 476 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 1: be the ones who are the carriers of that attitude. 477 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 1: We can't relinquish that attitude. And then people do not 478 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 1: of that attitude. If they feel like America is just 479 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 1: here as basically a welfare program for the third World, 480 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 1: as we've been operating in places like Minnesota, in like 481 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 1: huge parts of California, then it's very important to understand 482 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: that that is not going to be a formula for survival. 483 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: We're not that old of a country. So if you're 484 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,199 Speaker 1: unenthusiastic by all means, feel free to leave. And we 485 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 1: cannot continue to import the third world. It is so fundamental. 486 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: And anyway, if you have a single vote where you're 487 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 1: favoring the third world migrants over American citizens, then you're 488 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,439 Speaker 1: not getting my vote. You get my support, and all 489 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:42,920 Speaker 1: of you in the audience, I hope you feel the 490 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 1: same way. Completely essential here we are on the precipice 491 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: of going backwards to a place where you have the 492 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:56,200 Speaker 1: Democrats who did nothing to stop around from building nuclear weapons, 493 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 1: developing them this ballistic whistle missiles does nothing to stop them. 494 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:01,919 Speaker 1: Front terrorism around the world put them back in power. 495 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,479 Speaker 1: But the ones people open our border back and power 496 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 1: empowering all those just freak show that Hollywood puts out there. 497 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,360 Speaker 1: You know, I was thinking about in that Jennifer Welch, 498 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 1: who's a podcaster, rant about how we need to do 499 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,399 Speaker 1: more to lock up the Jay sixers, who were so 500 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,119 Speaker 1: many of them just in prison without due process. She 501 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,239 Speaker 1: was talking to Samantha Bee, who you guys might remember her. 502 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: She used to be a comedian, But we don't. Comedians 503 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 1: don't do comedy anymore. Comedians do what they just do. 504 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 1: They do the clapping, seal applause lines. So remember also, 505 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 1: the Democrats have revealed their hypocrisy at this moment in 506 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 1: the most unbelievable way. The Bernie Sanders backed Senate candidate 507 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: in Vermont, Graham Plattner, who is a Nazi tattoo, has 508 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 1: now backtracked on his apology for the Nazi skull tattoo 509 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,679 Speaker 1: that he had, So he's got the skull tattoo, has 510 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 1: removed it, and he is now he apologized for it, 511 00:25:58,040 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 1: and he said, nah, you know what, it's fine to 512 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:03,439 Speaker 1: have the Nazi tattoo. It's really makes sense toab it. 513 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: So these guys want to beat us. They want to 514 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:08,919 Speaker 1: beat us bad, and I feel like we're losing the 515 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: plot on that for what, I don't know. So we 516 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: can entertain us and to entertain ourselves online. I had 517 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,359 Speaker 1: another fun hypocracy one that I did want to bring up. 518 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 1: A Fox newstead Of report that Obama's Presidential Library, which 519 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 1: is this total monstrosity outside Chicago. I can't It's like 520 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 1: a futuristic prison, is what it looks like, and it's 521 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 1: got they're now asking for unpaid volunteers. The CEO of 522 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 1: the project, Vali Jera, is getting seven hundred and forty 523 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,920 Speaker 1: thousand dollars for the project, and I imagine she's making 524 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,200 Speaker 1: money in a bunch of other different ways as well. 525 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 1: I think he's getting seven forty eight year and it's 526 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 1: gone on for three years, and they're asking for unpaid volunteers, 527 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,440 Speaker 1: so it's all a grift. We cannot put these people 528 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 1: back in power, and I feel confident we'll figure it out. 529 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:56,919 Speaker 1: And that's one thing that I wanted to bring up 530 00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:58,920 Speaker 1: about my trip that I'm on right now where I'm 531 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 1: in the Bay Area. Right now, I'm falling around the 532 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 1: Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnik, and we got a lot of 533 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,119 Speaker 1: big interviews that are coming up this afternoon. So I'm 534 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 1: not going to mention all of them because I don't 535 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 1: want them to get canceled, don't want word to get back, 536 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,400 Speaker 1: So I gotta be careful about this. But one thing 537 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 1: that's interesting that the Trump administration is doing is that 538 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 1: they're trying to look proactively down the field what's happening. 539 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:20,880 Speaker 1: And at this moment where we've got this AI gold 540 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,120 Speaker 1: rush going on and we are in a dog fight 541 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 1: with China to try to be the best, let me 542 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 1: get an instrying line where he was saying to me 543 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,439 Speaker 1: that we blew it with five G, meaning that we 544 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 1: did not imbue five G technology with democratic values. The 545 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,919 Speaker 1: public private partnership inevitable with something like that between the 546 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 1: government and the big tech sector was not as smooth 547 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 1: as it could have been. It could have been more efficient, 548 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 1: there could have been more cooperation, there could have been 549 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 1: more trust built, and that's probably led to some of 550 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 1: this stuff like how Google relentlessly censoring and bright Bart 551 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:54,919 Speaker 1: targeting Breitbart for cancelation make it so you can't get 552 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 1: bripe Bart content and Google searches. These are all born 553 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 1: of mistakes made of Yesterdyear and Trump administrations trying to 554 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:02,879 Speaker 1: fix it, and they've got to call the arms to 555 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 1: tech entrepreneurs to continue to innovate and to try to 556 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:11,120 Speaker 1: create programs that are have the American spirit within them, 557 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 1: democratic values, non discrimination, not having some sort of a 558 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 1: controlled ecosystem where there's no feedback from the public when 559 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 1: they're forming these algorithms that are going to affect some 560 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 1: of our lives. So I like the spirit of it 561 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 1: that they're out here and they're trying to recruit the 562 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: best and brightest minds to be part of the America 563 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 1: First vision, trying to build more here, manufacturing more here, 564 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 1: build hardware again, not just software, which was a big 565 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 1: lie that we were told that manufacturing can't happen in 566 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 1: the United States. I'm witnessing it. I was at a 567 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 1: American Maide manufacturing plant yesterday for drone technology. I'll tell 568 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 1: you more about that later, and I'm going to another 569 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 1: one for robots today, and so the idea that we 570 00:28:54,440 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 1: can work with the most enthusiastic, the most motivated people 571 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 1: in this country to have a public private partnership that 572 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:05,959 Speaker 1: gets us on the cutting edge of technology going forward. 573 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 1: That's what Trump administration wants to work on. Instead, you 574 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 1: turn in the media and it's just all nonsense about 575 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 1: all sorts of different things that are not happening or 576 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,720 Speaker 1: barely happened, or whether or not some agitator got shot 577 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 1: by ice in Minnesota where they're disrupting law enforcement. We 578 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 1: gotta see folk, We gotta keep a eye on the price here. 579 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 1: We still are in the middle of historic opportunity. There's 580 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,959 Speaker 1: huge reason for optimism in this country, and I certainly 581 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 1: feel it each and every day being able to talk 582 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 1: to all of you and to be able to edit 583 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 1: at Breitbart. But I do want a painted picture for 584 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 1: you that's a little bit bleaker, and that's what's happening 585 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 1: in Israel right now. I want you to picture yourself 586 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 1: at midnight, sirens are blaring, You only got seconds to 587 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 1: grab your child and run, maybe your elderly and getting 588 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 1: downstairs feels impossible, and after all that, you end up 589 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 1: in a bomb shelter for hours and even days, because 590 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 1: you can't make that track again. That's what's happening across Israel. 591 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 1: Is Operation Epic Fury continues. Children are being traumatized, families 592 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,600 Speaker 1: are exhausted, and homes have been destroyed. And still the 593 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 1: world attacks Israel whilst people on the ground are just 594 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 1: trying to survive.

First, one pending home sales unexpectedly surging in February. 654 00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 1: What do we make of this? 655 00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,800 Speaker 7: Yeah, so we've seen actually this is the third piece 656 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 7: of housing news that's been really good news.

Those are sort of 658 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:12,120 Speaker 7: the two other pieces, and they're doing really well, better 659 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 7: than expected each time up from the prior month. It 660 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 7: really does seem like at the beginning of the year 661 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 7: mortgage rates were down. That was a big help. But 662 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:24,000 Speaker 7: people are also I think we've seen a lot less 663 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,720 Speaker 7: home price appreciation, so I think people are not as 664 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:30,040 Speaker 7: afraid to jump into the housing market as they were, 665 00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:34,400 Speaker 7: and probably a little bit more housing coming up for sale. Remember, 666 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 7: a lot of people have been sitting on homes not 667 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:40,280 Speaker 7: selling them because the mortgage rates were so high. They've 668 00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,760 Speaker 7: come down, they're closer to six percent than seven percent, 669 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,920 Speaker 7: so people are saying, Okay, you know what, maybe I'm 670 00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,000 Speaker 7: going to be willing to sell my home buy a 671 00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 7: new one. That frees up volume for the market. So 672 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:55,880 Speaker 7: we're seeing a lot more sales happen. And as I said, 673 00:33:55,920 --> 00:34:00,200 Speaker 7: even the analysts are missing it because they thought were 674 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:01,920 Speaker 7: going to be a lot fewer. They actually thought there 675 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,440 Speaker 7: might be a decline in February. Remember February was a 676 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 7: rough month in a lot of the country weather it was, 677 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,959 Speaker 7: so getting home sales up was a really big accomplishment. 678 00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:13,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, and also thinking about how a lot of people 679 00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:15,960 Speaker 1: like me and ridiculous and mentioning this that I'm due 680 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:17,960 Speaker 1: for a refi here the next year or so, and 681 00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 1: I feel like rates are going to come down some more. 682 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:21,799 Speaker 1: So it seems like I've been kind of holding. Now 683 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:23,719 Speaker 1: imagine other people are thinking similarly. 684 00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:28,719 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think I mean, one ironic effect, maybe people 685 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,000 Speaker 7: are going to get a little bit worried that the 686 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 7: fed's reaction to the war in Iran may delay some 687 00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:35,919 Speaker 7: of the rates coming down. 688 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,000 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, so that. 689 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:41,799 Speaker 7: Actually may prompt people to start buying homes now, because 690 00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:45,000 Speaker 7: if you were thinking, well, maybe i'll wait till, you know, 691 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,520 Speaker 7: later in the year, maybe you aren't going to get 692 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,839 Speaker 7: the rates coming down as much, so you might as 693 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:54,399 Speaker 7: well go now. It's always a gamble when people try 694 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 7: to time the market, right, you say, okay, well maybe 695 00:34:57,560 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 7: I'll wait six more months. Doesn't really make sense with 696 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,040 Speaker 7: housing because you can always refine. 697 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:05,600 Speaker 1: It, so you might as well just go in, all right. 698 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 1: The next thing, industrial production beat expectations in February as 699 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:14,360 Speaker 1: capital spending boom continues. What's a capital spending boom? Right 700 00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:19,120 Speaker 1: and again beating expectations to the expectations ever too high. 701 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,799 Speaker 1: It feels like the expectations are always always too low. 702 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:26,640 Speaker 7: Sometimes they are. Look, so what's happening is businesses are this. 703 00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:31,200 Speaker 7: There's a category within industrial production called business equipment, so 704 00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:34,160 Speaker 7: this is the making of equipment for business. And this 705 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,560 Speaker 7: is actually way up. It's up six point four percent 706 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:42,120 Speaker 7: from a year ago. Businesses are buying equipment because they 707 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,040 Speaker 7: plan on expanding in the future. It also helps the 708 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:50,640 Speaker 7: Trump tax cuts really gave. They let you depreciate instantly, 709 00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,640 Speaker 7: so you get to write it off the expense almost 710 00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:57,080 Speaker 7: right away. That's causing businesses to say, Okay, now is 711 00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 7: the time to invest in capital equipment and is it 712 00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,800 Speaker 7: promises a lot for the economy in the future. Because 713 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,840 Speaker 7: if businesses are doing that now, that means they see 714 00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:12,920 Speaker 7: the opportunity to make sales in the future. So that's 715 00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,279 Speaker 7: it's usually a very good sign when you see this 716 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,800 Speaker 7: kind of capital expenditure boom happening. 717 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,200 Speaker 1: All right, twenty seconds, My new favorite question for you, 718 00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:24,400 Speaker 1: where are we at on the economy? You told me 719 00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:26,600 Speaker 1: last week you were very happy, and then we got 720 00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:29,480 Speaker 1: those horrible job numbers. Now where we at. 721 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:33,120 Speaker 7: So I'd say that the economy could go either way. 722 00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:37,120 Speaker 7: We are at a risk because if oil stays high, 723 00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:39,960 Speaker 7: it could push the economy into a bad place. If 724 00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,520 Speaker 7: oil comes down, then I think we're going to do 725 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:43,280 Speaker 7: really well. 726 00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:46,920 Speaker 1: John Cornie perfect.

Thanks to everyone in the audience, go 728 00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:50,760 Speaker 1: in peace, to love and serve the Lord.
