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

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

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

21
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:52,200
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 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 2: who just got Cobra through John and saved about six

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

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

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

48
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,640

Speaker 2: the harm Society on sale, I will just say it's

86
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 2: the perfect gift for that favorite conservative you don't know

87
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 2: who to shop for. Maybe Dad, who's difficult. Don't get

88
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 2: him another tie, he doesn't need that, or some gift

89
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 2: card that he probably will stick in a drawer and

90
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 2: not cash in. The Hrump Society arrives in his mailbox

91

00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 2: he's up to date on everything, and it's terribly inexpensive.

93
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 2: Though what he'll read and consume, he'll think you paid

94
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 2: a fortune. All right. That's on sale to the end

95
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 2: of the month at Chris stigaul dot com. It's the

96
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 2: Hrump Society and you can get that on substack. I'm

97
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 2: particularly proud of it. This week, I'm kind of talking

98
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 2: about Trump's achievements this year, and I'll have some more

99
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 2: thoughts on that coming up. But anyway, eight five five

100
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 2: Stagall is how you reach us. He rolled out yesterday

101
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 2: with Heigs. Everybody is so confident that he is ready

102
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 2: to announce war. You notice that fast, Eddie. It seems

103
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 2: like all of his all the nattering nabobs who are desperate,

104
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 2: desperate to continue beating this theme that Trump is not America. First,

105
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 2: He's going to come out with Pete Heggs an announced war.

106
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 2: I saw that again yesterday A lot, a hopeful lot.

107
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 2: Let's just be honest. They're hopeful. They want a distraction.

108
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 2: They're tired of the winning. For some reason, it's better

109
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 2: for their click bait if their rage being constantly about

110
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 2: Trump not being America first, and so they're hopeful he's

111
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 2: going to come out in the clear war and that

112
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 2: we're deploying troops somewhere. That is what this new contingent

113
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 2: of our supposed right or alt right or whatever you

114
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 2: want to call them is. They're agitating for Trump to misstep,

115
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 2: is my interpretation of it, so they can do some

116
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 2: shows that get him some clicks. They're getting bored out

117
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 2: there with the winning eddies. Oh it's my calculator. I agree.

118
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 6: And I didn't even realize this. The people on the left,

119
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 6: they're saying he's rolling out with hag Zeth and bombing

120
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 6: Syria and doing all these things to distract from the

121
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 6: Epstein files. I didn't realize that till yesterday. That's what

122
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 6: a leftist said to me. I'm like, oh, okay, cool.

123
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 2: The Epstein files are we still okay? So they're still

124
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 2: on that. They still think there's more to be found

125
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 2: that he's hiding from exactly he did address, by the way,

126
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 2: the Epstein thing. Do we want to talk about this

127
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 2: a little bit? I thought it interesting because this again

128
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 2: shows the guy's heart, and I know people that Hayes

129
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:55,919
Speaker 2: guts don't think he has one. I guess before we

130
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 2: get to why he actually was holding the press conference

131
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 2: with Hegsyth and Rubio, let's talk about this for a minute.

132
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 2: I found this a rather interesting, uh moment when he

133
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 2: was asked about the Epstein files, give me number eighty

134
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 2: two here were used?

135
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 7: Probably them the number of photos of Bill Clinton in

136
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 7: the Epstein files, and can you commit to their full

137
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 7: release by the end of the year.

138
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 2: Some of the victims were protesting that too many of

139
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 2: them were retacted.

140
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 8: I know there are a lot of people that are

141
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 8: angry about all of the pictures of other people, you know,

142
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 8: but I think it's terrible. Look, I don't like the

143
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 8: I like Bill Clinton. I've always gotten along with Bill Clinton.

144
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 8: They've been nice to him, he's been nice to me.

145
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 8: We've always gotten a respect him. I hate to see

146
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 8: photos come out of him. But this is what the Democrats,

147
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 8: mostly Democrats and a couple of bad Republicans are asking for.

148
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 8: So they give in their photos of me too. Everybody

149
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 8: was friendly with this guy, either friendly or not friendly.

150
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 8: But then you know, he was around. He was all

151
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 8: over Palm Beach and other places. The head of Harvard

152
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 8: was his best friend, Larry Summers, and Bill Clint was

153
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 8: a friend of his, but everybody was. I actually threw

154
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 8: him out of mar Lago and as a you know,

155
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 8: as a person that was in marri Alago, I threw

156
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 8: them out of mar A Lagos. This is mar Alaga.

157
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 8: It's the hottest place in I think it's the hoddest

158
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 8: place in the world. But it's the hottest place in Florida,

159
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 8: and everybody would come here, he'd come here.

160
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 2: We actually threw them out.

161
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 8: But no, I don't like the pictures of Bill Clinton

162
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 8: being shown. I don't like the pictures of other people

163
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 8: being shown. I think it's a terrible thing. I think

164
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 8: Bill Linton's a big boy, he can handle it. But

165
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 8: you probably have pictures being exposed of other people that

166
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 8: innocently met Jeffrey Epstein years ago, many years ago, and

167
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 8: they're you know, highly respected bankers and lawyers and others,

168
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 8: and they'll end up because of guys like massw who's

169
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 8: a real low life whose polls are down to about

170
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 8: nine percent. By the way, the great state of Kentucky.

171
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 8: If you look at Kentucky, Kentucky is such a great place.

172
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 8: But I don't know, they've got a couple of people

173
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 8: in there that are very strange in terms of leadership.

174
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 8: With mass he's a loser, yeah, all.

175
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 2: Right, and then he goes on his tire right about Kentucky.

176
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 2: But my point in there was the little nugget of heart,

177
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 2: you know, for everybody that thinks he's just such a heartless, cruel,

178
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 2: calculating monster with no feeling or whatever. Did you notice it?

179
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 2: Did you notice what he said? Do you think sincerely? Now?

180
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 2: Do you think he can stand up there and remind

181
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 2: everybody that Larry Summers, the head of Harvard, was his

182
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 2: best friend, Epstein's best friend and not Do you think

183
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 2: he's playing a game of chicken ed When he starts

184
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 2: to say, gosh, I hate to see all these photos

185
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 2: of Bill Clinton. If there's stuff about him in these

186
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 2: files and he knows it, do you think he stands

187
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 2: up there so brazenly and says, gosh, it's a real shame.

188
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 2: All these photos of Larry Summers. They were really tight,

189
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 2: you know, I mean, like I guess what I'm saying is,

190
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 2: if you knew you were in that file and you

191
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 2: were standing up there answering questions about other people's pictures

192
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 2: popping up, would you what would be your position if

193
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 2: you knew there was more coming and you were hip

194
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 2: deep in it too, would you be as cavalier I

195
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 2: guess as might. No, you would.

196
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 6: You would not be picking fights and get you know,

197
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 6: giving people a reason to say, oh, okay, yeah you

198
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 6: want to go. No, no, you would be you'd have

199
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 6: a measured, I'm sure prepared response.

200
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 2: He sounds supremely confident that whatever he said. Look, yeah,

201
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 2: I was friends with him, we were all friends with them.

202
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 2: There were pictures of me in there. He acknowledged it.

203
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 2: But again, as we went over this yesterday, not shirtless

204
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,959
Speaker 2: in the grotto at Epstein's Island, you're not going to

205
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 2: see it, and he knows you're not going to see it.

206
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 2: But I thought it really telling that he sais And

207
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 2: this is nobody wanted to hear this back when I

208
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 2: brought it up the first time, because everybody has been

209
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 2: sex obsessed because sex sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex,

210
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 2: that's what we talk about, that's what people like to

211
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 2: talk about sex, abuse, sex scandal, sex, children sex, sex, sex,

212
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 2: sex sex. Everyone was so excited to talk about child

213
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,839
Speaker 2: sex that they wouldn't just stop for a second and

214
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:02,319
Speaker 2: listen to some reason. And you say there is nothing

215
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 2: to talk about other than getting justice for the victim.

216
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 2: I said, okay, but you gotta like calm down and

217
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,959
Speaker 2: consider what we're talking about in the global perspective for

218
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 2: a minute. Not everybody involved with Jeffrey Epstein was having

219
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 2: sex with children, Okay. And I know that everyone assumes

220
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 2: that if you so much have stood in the room

221
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 2: with Jeffrey Epstein, apparently now you're involved in child sex rings.

222
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 2: That's just simply not true. And it's dishonest and it's

223
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 2: emotional idiocy, and it always was. And I went over

224
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 2: this yesterday. I think the Epstein story is largely about

225
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 2: money laundering. I don't think it's about sex at all.

226
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 2: But again, sex is the clickbait. Sex is the rage bait. So, okay,

227
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 2: child sex. Were there victims? Yes, terrible, yes, scumbag, Yes,

228
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 2: all the words that say I feel, I feel it's awful,

229
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 2: all the words that you need me to say. It's

230
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 2: never gonna be enough. People that are obsessed with this subject,

231
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 2: you just cannot self flagellate enough to say, Oh, it's horror,

232
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 2: the horror. So I'm doing my best to convey it's horrible.

233
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 2: But I'm also trying to say, is what Trump's trying

234
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 2: to say, and what was always true is there are

235
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 2: a whole lot of people, powerful and not particularly powerful

236
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 2: public people and not particularly public people who at some

237
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 2: point cross pads with this guy over the last thirty years.

238
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 2: And even Trump seems to be saying he doesn't think

239
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 2: Bill Clinton was down there doing anything illegal. Now, I

240
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 2: don't want to put words in Trump's mouth. Maybe that's

241
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 2: not what Trump was saying. Maybe he didn't go that far,

242
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 2: but he was actually expressing his sympathy. And I don't

243
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 2: want anybody to miss this here. He's married to that

244
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 2: loathsome illegally government email hacking and keeping shrew Hillary Clinton,

245
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 2: that you know, the Russia Gate conspirator, one of the

246
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 2: worst political figures in recent American history. Hillary Clinton is

247
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 2: Bill Clinton's wife. And yet there's Trump and he stood

248
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 2: up there and he said, well, he's a big boy,

249
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 2: but I hate to see this for him. I like

250
00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 2: the guy, you know, he's a pretty good guy. I

251
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 2: think that counts for something. And I know nobody wants

252
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 2: to give him any credit. That hates his guts, and

253
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 2: I know even people that are trying to rage bait

254
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 2: and make the story about him, even on supposed right,

255
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 2: don't want to hear it. But I think this is

256
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 2: another moment where Trump shows real character. I think he's

257
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,439
Speaker 2: actually saying I don't think Bill Clinton was down there

258
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 2: necessarily doing anything illegal. I think you may not even

259
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 2: believe that, by the way, and that's okay. But my

260
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:30,439
Speaker 2: point is Trump's sympathy for people like him who are

261
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 2: just business people and meet lots of Trump is in

262
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,959
Speaker 2: how many photos now he's the most famous man in

263
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 2: the world, and over the years, how many photos has

264
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,839
Speaker 2: he shown up next to somebody who said something. He's

265
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 2: had somebody at dinner from mar Lago who said something once.

266
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 2: Trump realizes better than anybody as the most famous person

267
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 2: in the world, there are a lot of people who

268
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 2: are not particularly famous who are in the room with

269
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 2: this guy, who are not involved in anything illegal or untoward,

270
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 2: and he feels for them, and he's actually trying to

271
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 2: protect them as private citizens. Irritated that there are so

272
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 2: many rage baiters that are trying to make political hay

273
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:07,559
Speaker 2: attacking him. He's actually trying to protect people that don't

274
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 2: deserve the scrutiny and the bullets that he takes literally

275
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 2: ornament great to be with your book. From Merry Christmas

276
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,080

Speaker 2: This will be our final broadcast of twenty twenty five,

280
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 2: at least mine anyway. Bob Friends will be here for

281
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 2: a couple of days and brand new programming throughout this week.

282
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 2: We will have some new interviews and some new offerings

283
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,640

284
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 2: and also on the podcast. I would commend to you

285
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 2: the Christigul Show podcast. If you're not a podcaster yet

286
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 2: or you haven't been listening to the podcast, always catch

287
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 2: it. It's a great way to catch up and find everything

288
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 2: you need. We will have brand new stuff tomorrow. As

289
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 2: a matter of fact, I have a in fact tomorrow

290
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 2: on Christmas Eve. It's maybe it's a little heavier, but

291
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 2: I'm also very mindful that this time of year is

292
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 2: not necessary The happiest for everybody. It is a struggle

293
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 2: for a lot of people, particularly people who grieve and

294
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,959
Speaker 2: who lose people. Maybe even this year or recently, we've

295
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 2: heard it from people in this audience who have just

296
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 2: lost a loved one this year, and so this is

297
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 2: your first Christmas without somebody. There's a woman who's a

298
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 2: friend of mine. She has written a book called Thriving

299
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 2: in the Barren Place, and tomorrow for Christmas Eve, we're

300
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 2: going to that show will be exclusively dedicated to my

301
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 2: friend Paula Romeg who has written that book, and it's

302
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 2: about loss. And I won't give you any more than her.

303
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 2: I'll let her tell her story tomorrow, but I will

304
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 2: just tell you that it's a fascinating one, heartbreaking in

305
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 2: certain ways. But she is a deeply committed Christian woman

306
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 2: who she and her husband have gone through a really

307
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 2: unique struggle and loss. And it's one that I think

308
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 2: for people who are looking for some perspective and maybe

309
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 2: a bit of a I don't know, a life preserver

310
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 2: or hand in this kind of challenging season, I think

311
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 2: tomorrow's conversation might be a good one for you. So

312
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 2: that's a brand new conversation nobody's heard yet, and it'll

313
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 2: be part of the podcast we also have I will

314
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 2: tell you some fantastic conversations coming up before our return

315
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 2: on January fifth, with Lucas Miles of Turning Point Faith

316
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 2: as well as Ned Ryan and the CEO of American Majority.

317
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 2: And Ned's one of the most brilliant guys I know.

318
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 2: It's a real look ahead at kind of the future

319
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 2: of the movement, the political future of the country. Ned,

320
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 2: i will tell you, is very, very bullish about the

321
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 2: future for the Republican Party, for President Trump, for JD. Vans.

322
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 2: He does not think it is a faea complete that

323
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 2: the Republicans are going to get shellacked in the midterms.

324
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 2: And if you were with us yesterday, you know Aaron

325
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 2: maguire said the same thing. Democrats are only leading by

326
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 2: four in the generic ballot right now, which is unheard of.

327
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 2: It's usually at least double, if not double digits, that

328
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 2: the party totally out of power would be leading in

329
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 2: a generic ballot right now. And Democrats aren't. Remember the

330
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 2: Quinnipiac Pole has Congressional Democrats minus fifty five right now.

331
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 2: They're in a bad way from the post millennial Trump

332
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 2: polling sees rebound with fifty percent approval, the highest point

333
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 2: in three months. President Trump's poll number seem to be

334
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 2: rebounding as they've hit a three month high after there's

335
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 2: been a decline in his numbers over the course of

336
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five. The poll from Insider Advantage reported Trump

337
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 2: has a fifty percent approval rating. Here's another thing. Yesterday

338
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 2: coming out of the or over the weekend, coming out

339
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 2: of the Turning Point convention, they do a straw pole there,

340
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 2: kind of like SEAPAC does, And I thought this was

341
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 2: pretty intriguing. Seapack's straw pole found that eighty seven percent

342
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 2: of those in attendance. And how would you deem how'd

343
00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 2: you describe most of the attendees at Seapack Turning Point

344
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 2: fast Eddy out in Phoenix. You were there last year,

345
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 2: how would you describe most of them?

346
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 9: Oh?

347
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 2: Definitely young men. I was young men and women.

348
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 6: But at least when I was traveling out of Philly,

349
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 6: at least three people on my plane all high school

350
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,880
Speaker 6: to college aged. We're going to a amfest, So it's young.

351
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 6: It's a younger demo.

352
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 2: So what might you suspect if you had some sort

353
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 2: of presupposition supposition about these young people, what might you

354
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 2: suspect their politics are? What might be things you think

355
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 2: they'd think in mass right now? Kind of knowing the

356
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 2: news landscape, just guessing what might be something you'd guess

357
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 2: a bunch of young men would be for or against

358
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 2: right now? Uh, I'm sure about Israel?

359
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:43,439
Speaker 6: Uh?

360
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, when the subject of Israel comes up, where do

361
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 2: you think most of them would come down?

362
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 6: I'd say probably fifty to fifty. I don't know that

363
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 6: you have majority on either side.

364
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 2: Would this surprise you to find out that the at

365
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 2: the Turning Point Straphole eighty seven percent view Israel as

366
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 2: an ally and thirty three percent of them viewed them

367
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 2: as a top ally.

368
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 6: That surprises me?

369
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 2: Yes, that's turning points own straw Pole numbers. Ninety percent

370
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 2: want a total pause on immigration, and most notably, eighty

371
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 2: five percent of those at the Turning Point convention in

372
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 2: Phoenix over the weekend want jd vance in twenty twenty eight.

373
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 2: That's a higher percentage than wanted Trump in twenty twenty four.

374
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 2: Just passing it on all right, back to the Trump

375
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 2: presser yesterday talking about building a new Trump class of warships.

376
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 2: Trump announcing yesterday the construction of a new Trump class

377
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 2: of warships that would anchor what he called the Golden

378
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 2: Fleet for the US Navy, fulfilling a long held goal

379
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 2: to give a personal makeover to a fleet of ships

380
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 2: he described as old, tired, and obsolete. The ships will

381
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 2: augment the navies more than five dozen destroyers nine thousand

382
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 2: ton vessels that are currently a mainstead of the naval fleet,

383
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 2: but Trump says is now failing to compete with the

384
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 2: vessels of foreign fleets. According to a Pentagon official, Navy

385
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 2: officials say that the new vessel, which mister Trump described

386
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 2: as a battleship, would displace more than thirty five thousand

387
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 2: largest surface combatant ships the Navy currently fields, and it

388
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 2: would notionally have the ability to launch hypersonic missiles and

389
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:33,479
Speaker 2: nuclear armed cruise missiles, and carry more munitions overall than

390
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 2: current Navy vessels. Mister Trump said there, and also inspire

391
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 2: fear in America's enemies all over the world. Then he

392
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 2: took some questions, and that's always enjoyable talking about the

393
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 2: President of Columbia, Gustavo Petro was apparently mouthing off down there.

394
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 2: Doesn't like the way Trump is treating his buddy for

395
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 2: fifty sorry eighty one eighty one.

396
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 7: So, in response to the United States taking sanction oil

397
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 7: from Venezuela, Colombian President Gustavo Petro he criticize the United

398
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 7: States by saying, well, the Southwest has stolen land and

399
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 7: that it should be returned to Latin America.

400
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 2: I just wanted to know what your response to that.

401
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,400
Speaker 8: Well, he has to watch because you know, he's got

402
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 8: drug factors. They make cocaine in Colombia, and he's no

403
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 8: friend of the United States. He's very bad, very bad guy,

404
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 8: and he's got to watch his ass because he makes

405
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 8: cocaine and they send it into the United States of

406
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 8: America from Colombia.

407
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 2: We love the Colombian people. I love the Colombian people.

408
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 8: They're great people, energetic, smart, great but their new leader

409
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 8: is a troublemaker and he better watch it. You better

410
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 8: close up those cocaine factors. If at least three major

411
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 8: cocaine factories we know where they are, he better close

412
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 8: them up fast.

413
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 2: You Yeah, they better close them up here. Watch you

414
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 2: watch your He did a little did a little governmental

415
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 2: pedim you watch your eh. So he's warning the Colombian

416
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 2: president better watch it. I'll come at you if you don't,

417
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 2: if you don't mind your piece and q's. And as

418
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 2: for Maduro, they said, you know, you keep seizing these

419
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 2: oil tankers. What if what if he pops off number

420
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 2: eighty four they just let go in Venezuela to force

421
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 2: Maduro from power.

422
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 8: Well, I think it probably would. I can't tell that.

423
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 8: That's up to him what he wants to do. I

424
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 8: think it would be smart for him to do that,

425
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 8: but again we're going to find out.

426
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 2: Look, Venezuela did terrible things.

427
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 8: And then I'd say they sent hundreds of thousands of people,

428
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 8: millions of people into our open border. They sent their criminals,

429
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 8: they sent their prisoners, they sent their drug dealers, they

430
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 8: sent their mentally insane and incompetent people into our country

431
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 8: more than any other country. Others did too, the Congo did,

432
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,880
Speaker 8: Others did too, And we just let him come right

433
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 8: in because we were run by a stupid president. But

434
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 8: you don't have a stupid president anymore.

435
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 2: And then ultimately in number eighty three, he said this

436
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 2: about Maduro. He gets one, he gets one chance at it,

437
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 2: go for it. He can do whatever he wants.

438
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 8: I mean, we have a massive or a mada formed

439
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 8: the biggest we've ever had and by far the biggest

440
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 8: we've ever had in South America.

441
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 2: He could do.

442
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 8: Whatever he wants. It's alla whatever he wants to do,

443
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 8: if he wants to do something, If he plays tough,

444
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 8: it'll be the last time he's ever able to play tough.

445
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 2: Trump feeling himself at mar Lago. Look, most people like this.

446
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 2: They may not admit it fast Eddie, but most people

447
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 2: like a little bravado. They like a little moxie. They

448
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 2: like the big they like the alpha dog. Okay, well

449
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 2: go ahead, Petro, but you better watch your ass. And

450
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 2: as for you, Maduro, go ahead, do what you want.

451
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 2: See how that works out for you. The last time

452
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 2: you try to promise you that people like that, they do.

453
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,719
Speaker 6: Since Obama, we've been apologizing to the world.

454
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 2: Right, we're done. This isn't we're not playing games.

455
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 6: We took out solemony like that, like we're not. We're

456
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 6: not screwing around with you. We're gonna keep your oil.

457
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 6: By the way, yes, they love this well, he did

458
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 6: say that. That's another great point.

459
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 2: He was asked again, what do you do you know

460
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 2: you keep seizing all these oil ships? What a Trump

461
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 2: making no apology on that either. Yeah, we're keeping at

462
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 2: number eighty five. What are we gonna do with the

463
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 2: oil that we have? I'm gonna do with what the

464
00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 2: oil that has been seized.

465
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 6: The United States seize one point nine million barrels of

466
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 6: oil on December tenth.

467
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 2: We're gonna keep it. We're keeping it. Where's it? Are

468
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 2: we gonna sell it or put in this strategic Maybe

469
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 2: we'll sell it. They we'll keep it.

470
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 8: Maybe we'll use it in the strategic reserves.

471
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 2: We're keeping it. We're keeping the ship.

472
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 8: Sell stuff.

473
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 2: What are we gonna do with it? We're keeping it,

474
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 2: sell it? I don't know. Maybe not. By the way,

475
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:26,880
Speaker 2: he should watch his ass, and by the way he can.

476
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:32,679
Speaker 2: I love it and I get it. Some people have

477
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 2: a distaste for this. They say, oh, we should mind

478
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 2: our peas and cues. You have to show who's running

479
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 2: the hemisphere. That's what this is about, more than anything else.

480
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 2: Trump is reasserting American dominance in this hemisphere and telling everybody, Look,

481
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 2: we don't need anybody any harm. But you're not gonna

482
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 2: mouth off. You're not gonna send your worst up here.

483
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 2: You're not going to be doing business with our enemies

484
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 2: and destabilizing our region. We're still the president of the

485
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 2: Holmes Association in this hemisphere, just so you know. So

486
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 2: make sure you get that yard cleaned up. And I

487
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 2: want those Christmas lights down by the fifteenth of January.

488
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 2: Got it, or I'll seize them DHS. Meanwhile, the Department

489
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:18,199
Speaker 2: of Homeland Security has offered illegal aliens a Christmas season

490
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 2: deportation bargain. Merry Christmas, go home for the holidays and

491
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 2: stay there. And by the way, this is better than

492
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 2: most of us. You'll even get a three thousand dollars

493
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 2: bonus from the government if you do it. That's triple

494
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 2: the regular self deportation bonus the Trump administration has been offering.

495
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 2: And it's in addition to the free flight home the

496
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 2: government has said it will give to those who register

497
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 2: for their self deportation ahead of time. Christy nom said

498
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 2: the holiday stipend is a particularly sweet carrot and a

499
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:53,120
Speaker 2: better offer than the stick deportation. That government has made

500
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 2: clear it's willing to use rank and file illegal immigrants

501
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 2: to do so. Illegal aliens should take advantage of this

502
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 2: and self deport because if they don't, we will find them.

503
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 2: We will arrest them, and they will never return, she said.

504
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 2: Announcing the bonus, the Department called it a limited time

505
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 2: offer and the best gift that an illegal alien can

506
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 2: give themselves and their families this holiday season. The Department

507
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 2: announced the bounty with a slick press release that replicated

508
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 2: a Christmas advertisement. It depicted a decorated Christmas tree in

509
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 2: a cozy home set against a snowy landscape outside. Until

510
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 2: the end of the year, take advantage of a three

511
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 2: thousand dollars bonus and head home for the holidays. They'll

512
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 2: even fly you there three grand and a flight, fast Eddie.

513
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 2: That's better than most of us are going to get

514
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 2: for Christmas this year. And all those people did was

515
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 2: break into the country. Merry Christmas. I'm pretty proud of

516
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 2: myself this year, I must say. I Christmas. I've got

517
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 2: some good surprises for Christmas at the house. It's daily

518
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:54,400
Speaker 2: stick go man. I'm not going to tell them now.

519
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 2: I haven't even told you, fast Eddie, because I don't

520
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 2: want to spoil the surprise. But I've rigged up someprise

521
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 2: this year for people. I can't wait to come back

522
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 2: and tell you what I've done. I'm not always the

523
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 2: best at gift giving. Sometimes I take the easy way

524
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 2: out and just say here's some cash or here's a

525
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 2: gift card. Call it a day. You know, I'm just

526
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 2: because I'm not. I'm not that creative this year. Actually

527
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 2: I did myself. I must confess.

528
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 6: That's that's good only because I'm an every other year

529
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 6: creative guy.

530
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 2: This year I was.

531
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 6: I had an off year, like you know, like I, Oh, well.

532
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 2: You've been busy. It's been a busy year. Yeah yeah, but.

533
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 6: No, but I'm excited to hear how it all pans out.

534
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 6: I think I know some of what you did, but

535
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 6: but honestly, uh, you've been pretty closed, pretty tight lipped

536
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 6: about this year.

537
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 2: One of them. Yeah, well, I won't say anything more.

538
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,400
Speaker 2: I never know who's monitoring, but I will just say

539
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 2: it's it's fun. I hope you're getting ready to celebrate.

540
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 2: I'm excited for you fast Eddi because you've still got

541
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,439
Speaker 2: a little one and Santa is coming to visit, and

542
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 2: that's just always so much fun. There's that limited window

543
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 2: of time wherever it was interesting you'd mentioned that the

544
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 2: whole family used to want to come watch your your

545
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 2: little Eddie wake up for Sam. Yes, and because it's

546
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 2: because naturally as adults. That's what we all this time

547
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,159
Speaker 2: of year in terms of Christmas Morning, that's what we

548
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:11,880
Speaker 2: all want is that picture of the little kid toddling

549
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 2: down the stairs in just total excitement and enthrallment that

550
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,479
Speaker 2: Santa has come and brought him what he wants. So

551
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 2: everyone wants to relive that, even if it's not their

552
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 2: own child.

553
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:24,719
Speaker 6: Oh absolutely. But the good thing is even my parents

554
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,880
Speaker 6: this year, so this will be his fifth Christmas. He's

555
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 6: four years old, but it'll be his fifth Christmas. They

556
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 6: even said, you know what, we'll come over just before

557
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 6: dinner and then we'll give him his gifts then. And

558
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 6: it's everyone's kind of backing off just a little bit

559
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 6: because last year was insane. It was just too too much.

560
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 2: There were too much much attention. Are you of the

561
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 2: belief we were having this discussion post show yesterday. This

562
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 2: is that time? Christmas morning is that time. It's that

563
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 2: precious window of time in the holidays where you're of

564
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 2: two minds. You're either like everybody in the pool together,

565
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 2: or that is reserved for exclusively the people that live

566
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 2: directly under your roof and nobody else. Like some people believe,

567
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 2: that's very cherished kind of pright and by the way,

568
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 2: I think there's real value in that. And there are

569
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 2: some families who I think are well meaning. I don't

570
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 2: mean to disparage it, but there are some families who

571
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 2: just feel like it's got to be everybody all the time,

572
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 2: like clown car, everybody crowd in the house for everything,

573
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 2: all the time, round the clock. I'm of the mind

574
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 2: that that's great most of the time, but there is

575
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 2: a window of time. There's a space where your immediate

576
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 2: nuclear family needs their own private time, and I think

577
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 2: that Christmas morning is one of those, in my opinion,

578
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 2: agree or disease.

579
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 6: I am coming around to agreeing. I've always because I'm Italian,

580
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 6: I've always been everybody in the pool, everybody all at once. Here,

581
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 6: I'll make breakfast, lunch, dinner, let's do it, let's have drinks.

582
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 2: After last year.

583
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 6: I am coming more around to what you said. It's

584
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 6: just like, you know what, kind of like the end

585
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 6: of Christmas Story when they're sitting just sitting there on

586
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 6: the couch, Randy's passed out, they got the wine, you know,

587
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 6: Like I'm coming around to that. Just be like this

588
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 6: is nice.

589
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 2: I like this. Yeah, By the way, I also somebody

590
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 2: sent me a note yesterday and said, stick, oh you

591
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 2: never showed us your presidential your White House Christmas tree.

592
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 2: I didn't. I really regret that I didn't. So what

593
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do is I will snap a couple of photos,

594
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 2: maybe post a video. If you don't follow on X

595
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 2: and Instagram and Facebook and all that business, I will

596
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 2: post one. Maybe tomorrow I'll do that. Maybe i'll take

597
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 2: it tonight so you can see it tonight. Well, it's

598
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 2: all lit up. It's uh. We've had some people come

599
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 2: over to State Least to go Manor to visit and

600
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 2: they say, people ask, They say, who decorated this? Assuming

601
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 2: it's not me. I did it all myself, including the

602
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 2: Gurly ribbon, even the Gurly ribbon fast Eddie I took.

603
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 2: I went to hobby lobby and I bought a bunch

604
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 2: of ribbon and I did the Gurly decorating of the

605
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 2: White House Christmas tree all myself.

606
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 4: Nice.

607
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 2: I think it looks pretty good.

608
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 6: No, I'm excited to see it, but I can't remember.

609
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 6: Did you have a separate tree that just houses the

610
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 6: White House?

611
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 2: Oh? Wow, okay, so I have a separate tree in

612
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 2: my office that is exclusively for all the White House ornaments.

613
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 2: I even ordered the brand new two hundred and fiftieth

614
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 2: commemorative ornament for twenty twenty six already and just hung

615
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 2: it on my tree this past weekend. So I now

616
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 2: have every ornament the White House Historical Society has made

617
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,959
Speaker 2: since they started in eighty one. I think that's some

618
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 2: it's almost fifty ornaments that they have made commemorating Now.

619
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 2: That's not the thing is. Somebody asked me, well, where's

620
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 2: the Trump ornament or where's the Clinton ornament? I said,

621
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 2: They're not stupid at the White House Historical Society. They

622
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 2: realize that most of us need to go die before

623
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:41,479
Speaker 2: they start making those. Right, You don't nobody because it's

624
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 2: it's weird, like nobody has feelings about William McKinley, Eddie,

625
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like the family's not going

626
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 2: to have a fight over dinner about taft or.

627
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 4: Right.

628
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 2: So, the White House Historical Society they make these ornaments

629
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 2: for presidents long gone, and maybe some of them not great,

630
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 2: maybe some of them tremendous, whatever, but you know, commemorative

631
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 2: ornaments to talk about their time in the White House

632
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 2: or the way they celebrated Christmas or the thing they

633
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 2: were associated with. It's about Kennedy is where it stops.

634
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 2: And there's a Johnson and Kennedy. I think there's a Nixon,

635
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 2: maybe a Ford. I well, you know what Carter was

636
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 2: in there. I don't even know that Reagan's in there yet.

637
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 2: I have to go back and look. I just bought

638
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 2: them this year, so I don't I'm not intimately familiar

639
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 2: with all fifty of them, but it definitely does not

640
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 2: go beyond Reagan, I'm pretty certain. So like the Bushes, Obama, Clinton, Trump,

641
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 2: I don't think I'm going to see those in my lifetime.

642
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 2: I have a feeling they're too polarizing now. Nobody wants

643
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 2: to hang them on their tree.

644
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 6: They are, and we could be in a situation someday, Chris,

645
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 6: where we have an insane, really radical leftist president that

646
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 6: will take away the Christmas ornament. So I'm glad that

647
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 6: this is celebrating Christmas. To jd Vance's point, inn amfest

648
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 6: Christian Nations, let's carry on the tradition.

649
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 2: That's good. I will go ahead and go to christigull

650
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 2: dot com if you want to follow on social media,

651
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 2: I'll show you that what that looks like on my

652
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 2: social media accounts. All right, Merry Christmas. It's been my

653
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 2: pleasure and honor to talk about Bob Spinato at Williamsburg

654
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 2: Dentel in Brumalt, just off the blue root, as my

655
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 2: dentist and friend of over twelve years. But now he

656
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 2: has two brand new associates, his daughter Alexa and doctor Gettis.

657
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 2: Tell him about him, Bob.

658
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 10: Yeah, Chris, I can't begin to express how proud I am.

659
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 10: Obviously I've having my daughter there. Also, doctor Gettis is

660
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 10: just a wonderful addition to our practice. He is a

661
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 10: classmate of my daughter Alexa's at Temple Dental School. And

662
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 10: I have known Jared for about seven years now. Getting

663
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 10: to know Jared over the years, it was my wife

664
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 10: Debbie and my daughter Emily. He kept telling me, you

665
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 10: have to hire Jared.

666
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 9: You have to hire Jared.

667
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 10: He's going to be a superstar. Jared went off to

668
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 10: usc it a one year residency after his you're at Temple,

669
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 10: and he came back and he worked for about a

670
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 10: year in the practice in New Jersey.

671
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 9: And after again my wife and daughter beating.

672
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 10: My brains in, I got the message and I hired

673
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 10: Jared and that's just spent a great addition to Walliams

00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 2: wherever you happen to be. I hope it's a good

701
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 2: one and a happy Conic film. We were just talking

702
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 2: about that during the break. You know, whatever it is

703
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 2: you celebrate or don't celebrate, we're glad you're here. I've

704
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 2: never met anybody who opposes being greeted with Merry Christmas,

705
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 2: except some hardcore leftist, probably the same people that demanded

706
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 2: you wear a mask once upon a time. Those are

707
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 2: the people that probably pretend to be offended by it.

708
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 2: I've never met a Jew, or Muslim, or even an

709
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 2: agnostic really generally, who says, don't you dare greet me

710
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 2: with Merry Christmas? Again, similarly as I said, if somebody

711
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 2: said to me happy Hanukah, I don't observe it. But

712
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 2: it's not like I would be offended and lecture somebody

713
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 2: about it. Right, So merry Christmas is my point eight

714
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 2: five five Stigall is how you reach us today. I

715
00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 2: hope you're getting ready for a great holiday season, whatever

716
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 2: it may be, whether you're now, is this today? I

717
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:06,319
Speaker 2: think because Donald, if I'm not mistaken, Trump last week

718
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 2: signed an executive order. If I'm not mistaken, declaring Christmas

719
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 2: Eve and the day after Christmas a federal holiday. Does

720
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 2: that kick in immediately? Somebody asked me that yesterday, and

721
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 2: I think I think yes, be an executive order, you'd

722
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,320
Speaker 2: have to say that's immediate, right or not? Like financial

723
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 2: institutions are not going to be open on Friday, or

724
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 2: do we know. I can't say that definitively, but it

725
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 2: would stand to reason.

726
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think now it has to be right away.

727
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 6: Why else would he do it, because somebody else could

728
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 6: just take it.

729
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 2: Away as soon as things set out. Yeah, I think

730
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 2: that's right. So that those of you that typically like

731
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,240
Speaker 2: to go deposit your check or your cash from Grandma

732
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 2: on Friday, you're not gonna be able to do it.

733
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 2: I think they're closed. I think. Don't quote me on that.

734
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:52,399
Speaker 2: I'm sure I'm gonna get a bunch of emails telling

735
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,360
Speaker 2: me I'm wrong, but I think that's right. Speaking of checks,

736
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 2: President Trump's plan to deliver two thousand dollars tariff rebate check.

737
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 2: It depends on Congress. I like the politics of this.

738
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 2: To be honest with you, President Trump needs Congress to

739
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 2: take action to make good on a proposal to send

740
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:14,800
Speaker 2: Americans two thousand dollars tariff rebate checks next year. Director

741
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 2: of the National Economic Council Kevin Hassett said that the

742
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 2: United States House and Senate will need to take up

743
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 2: the matter. Quote. I would expect that in the new year,

744
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:25,360
Speaker 2: the President will bring forth a proposal to Congress to

745
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 2: make that happen. Details about Trump's tariff rebate proposal remain sparse.

746
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,760
Speaker 2: Trump has said he wants to issue the rebate checks

747
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 2: and use the rest of the tariff revenue to pay

748
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 2: down the nation's thirty eight trillion in debt, even as

749
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 2: the Supreme Court has not yet determined whether he has

750
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 2: the authority to impose those tariffs. You know, I was

751
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 2: listening to a podcast and I typically never do this,

752
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 2: but it had Street Tough Scott Besson as the featured guest,

753
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 2: and I wanted to hear specifically what bet anytime Besson's speaking,

754
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 2: I listened, like, yeh, Hutton, I want to know what

755
00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 2: Besson has to say about things. He's actually a guy

756
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 2: I'll to listen to. Besant made the point, and he

757
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 2: and Lutnik, the e Commerce Secretary, are both monitoring the

758
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 2: arguments before the Supreme Court on tariffs pretty closely, obviously,

759
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,319
Speaker 2: because all of their financial plan for the future in

760
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 2: this administration hinge on the tariff revenue coming in and

761
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 2: continuing to leverage tariffs with other countries to drive business

762
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,799
Speaker 2: home and to get more favorable rates for US internationally

763
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 2: and things like that. And one of the things that

764
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 2: Bessont said in listening to these oral arguments, Gorsich asked

765
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 2: a question of those opposing Trump's tariffs, and it makes

766
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 2: total sense to me. So a president can unilaterally issue

767
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:47,280
Speaker 2: an embargo on whatever he wants, but he can't implement

768
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 2: a tariff of one percent. I think that's a profound

769
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 2: question from Gorsich actually, and Bessant brought up that Gorsich

770
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 2: has asked that very specific question. Remember, before the Supreme

771
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 2: Court is this critical it is this is a lynchpin decision.

772
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 2: President Trump's tariff strategy is a lynchpin in his entire

773
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 2: financial plan for the future of the country and on

774
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:15,760
Speaker 2: shoring business and repatriating dollars and business into the country.

775
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,879
Speaker 2: If the Supreme Court for some reason comes back and

776
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 2: says that President Trump cannot do this, it's a well,

777
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 2: I don't want to overstate it, because Besson and Lutnik,

778
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 2: for instance, have already said, well, we've got a contingency plan.

779
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,239
Speaker 2: Even if they do, but they're pretty confident. They're out

780
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 2: there saying we don't think that's going to happen. And

781
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 2: they say because guys like Gorsich, Supreme Court Justice Gorsich

782
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 2: are making really cogent arguments. And the embargo argument makes

783
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 2: total sense to me. A president can say we're embargoing oil.

784
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 2: The president can do what he's doing. For instance, in

785
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 2: Venezuela unilatterally nobody argues, well, I guess the Democrats argue,

786
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:01,919
Speaker 2: but there's no constitutional prohibition embargoes on oil and things

787
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 2: like that trading with Iran. Anybody that's selling oil to Iran,

788
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 2: we're not doing business with them. That's it. And a

789
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 2: president can make that decision. And yet, think about this,

790
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 2: there are those that would argue, President Trump cannot say

791
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:20,360
Speaker 2: we are in an economic emergency. Embargoes happen all the

792
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:23,760
Speaker 2: time in war or an emergency, and yet Donald Trump

793
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:26,279
Speaker 2: making a very credible case that we are in an

794
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:29,720
Speaker 2: economic emergency, thirty eight trillion in debt, We're way upside

795
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 2: down and over leveraged. With China, for instance, They've got

796
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 2: us over a barrel COVID. Again, if it taught us

797
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 2: nothing else, it taught us that we are entirely too

798
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 2: reliant on China. And if commerce seizes in the United States,

799
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 2: that's going to mean you and I may not be

800
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 2: able to get critical medicines that our families need. Supply

801
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 2: chain grinds to a halt. We cannot be that vulnerable

802
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:57,879
Speaker 2: as a country that is a critical emergency situation. How

803
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 2: you can't see it that way is it's beyond me,

804
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 2: and it's intellectually dishonest. So here again, if you can,

805
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 2: as a president unilaterally issue embargoes in an emergency or

806
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,359
Speaker 2: wartime setting, why then could you not make the case

807
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 2: you can do the very same thing at a president.

808
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 2: In other words, the question was, so a president can

809
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:24,239
Speaker 2: embargo go the full embargo route during an emergency, but

810
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:26,719
Speaker 2: he cannot issue a tariff of one percent on a

811
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 2: product or service that make much sense. That's, of course,

812
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 2: it's just play. So anyway, my point is this tariff

813
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 2: check that everybody's going to be getting. That's another huge

814
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,840
Speaker 2: part of this, as he pays down the deficit but

815
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 2: also issues these checks. Obviously, the revenue from the tariff's matters,

816
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 2: and whether the Supreme Court upholds it or not. Is

817
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 2: whether a lot of us are going to get these

818
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 2: two thousand dollars checks or not. And more specifically, Congress

819
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 2: has to sign off on it. Three different scenarios analyzed

820
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 2: by the t X Foundation estimate that costs of distributing

821
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 2: the checks could range from two hundred and seventy nine

822
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:08,720
Speaker 2: billion to six hundred billion. The scenarios varied among income limits,

823
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 2: single and joint filers. Blah blah blah. Even if all

824
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:17,279
Speaker 2: tariff revenues went toward rebates, tax Foundation doesn't particularly like it,

825
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 2: blah blah blah. Committee for Responsible Budget said that the

826
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 2: math doesn't work, blah blah blah. But anyway, the point

827
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:24,360
Speaker 2: is Congress is going to have to debate this, and

828
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 2: I like the politics of it. I like it a

829
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:29,880
Speaker 2: lot because I know what's going to happen. Mike Johnson

830
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 2: and the Republicans are going to come back from Christmas

831
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,320
Speaker 2: break and we're going to have a good old fashioned

832
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 2: discussion about whether we should cut two thousand dollars rebate

833
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 2: checks to the American public with tariff revenue. How's that

834
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 2: going to play? If Democrats stand up and say no,

835
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:49,360
Speaker 2: I love it. Dare the Democrats to oppose Trump cutting

836
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 2: two thousand dollars checks to people? Dare them? I absolutely do.

837
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 2: And remember that staff that I shared with you from

838
00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 2: the Wall Street Journal yesterday devastating. I actually posted it

839
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 2: on some social media on X I would encourage you

840
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 2: to share that with everyone. We spend as a country

841
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 2: one point four trillion dollars annually on welfare. One point

842
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 2: four trillion dollars broadly the federal government spends on welfare programs.

843
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 2: There are not quite twenty million households that are considered

844
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:28,240
Speaker 2: impoverished by government definition. So once again, not quite twenty

845
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 2: million households in the country considered impoverished. We spend one

846
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 2: point four trillion on welfare, meaning instead of all of

847
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:46,880
Speaker 2: the money laundering and fraud that undoubtedly goes on inside

848
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 2: that one point four trillion dollars. You could I'm going

849
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 2: to bring this up with Steve More a little later.

850
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 2: You could effectively cut every one of the households considered

851
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:00,160
Speaker 2: at or below the poverty line in this country. You

852
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:06,919
Speaker 2: could cut them all seventy thousand dollars annual checks. Sat

853
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 2: another way, if you wanted to be really charitable as

854
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 2: a taxpayer, would you prefer the government continue to broadly

855
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 2: spend one point four trillion dollars on welfare or would

856
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:21,840
Speaker 2: you prefer your tax dollars in the federal government just

857
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 2: cut checks directly to families who fall at or below

858
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:29,400
Speaker 2: the poverty line. If you favored the latter, the outcome

859
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:32,919
Speaker 2: would be each house getting seventy grand, which, of course,

860
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 2: if it were cut and dry that way, do you

861
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 2: think most of the American public would tolerate their tax

862
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:40,200
Speaker 2: dollars going out the door to nineteen point eight million

863
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:44,359
Speaker 2: homes seventy grand home, I mean fasted? If that were

864
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 2: made a public debate, would the American public at large say, yes,

865
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:52,840
Speaker 2: we support seventy thousand dollars being sent to each home

866
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 2: considered at or below poverty. Do you think most Americans

867
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:57,439
Speaker 2: would support that or not? Oh?

868
00:44:57,520 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, they'll take, they'll take.

869
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:01,759
Speaker 2: Do you think so, like most Americans would say, yes,

870
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:05,760
Speaker 2: send each impoverished homes seventy thousand dollars a year versus

871
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 2: spending one point four trillion broadly on welfare programs.

872
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 6: Who's going to come down against that?

873
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:15,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I think that's an outstanding amount of money,

874
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 2: is what I think. Seventy thousand dollars. I don't know

875
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:20,439
Speaker 2: what the average Am I right or am I wrong?

876
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:23,240
Speaker 2: When I say the average home doesn't pull in seventy

877
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 2: thousand dollars annually or at least per paycheck like individual

878
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:29,880
Speaker 2: working I don't know what the average take home salary

879
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 2: is in the United States these days. I don't think

880
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:36,400
Speaker 2: it's seventy It feels like that's high. I might be wrong,

881
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:42,480
Speaker 2: but anyway, it's a healthy sum of money. Is the point.

882
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 2: We're spending a tremendous sum of money, and so putting

883
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:52,720
Speaker 2: Democrats in a place where they're arguing over two thousand

884
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:55,799
Speaker 2: dollars tariff checks going out the door to the average taxpayer.

885
00:45:56,760 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 2: I love it at minus fifty five. Well for the

886
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:02,920
Speaker 2: Democrats in Congress right now, keep it up. Put on

887
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:08,759
Speaker 2: the gas pedal. Merry Christmas, hope you're doing well, those

888
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 2: of you listening on our hundreds of affiliates all over

889
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 2: the country. A little dominic to Donkey or pop up Paulie.

890
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 2: Merry Christmas to you all my pythons out there. I

891
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:22,279
Speaker 2: had never heard we got it. I was looking over

892
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:25,240
Speaker 2: the list of givers. You guys at the angel Tree

893
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 2: campaign this year have been outstanding. You know. We're at

Speaker 2: about thirty two hundred kids as of this morning for

895
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:35,399
Speaker 2: our angel Tree campaign. Of course, this is the final

896
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:37,399
Speaker 2: show of twenty twenty five, and again I say thank

897

915
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:39,239
Speaker 2: to Christigall dot com. I was going over some of

916
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:42,239
Speaker 2: the names. One of them was a guy with the

917
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 2: last name Siriani in Pennsylvania, and I thought, past Eddy,

918
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 2: that's not is that a common enough name that it

919
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 2: wouldn't be It's not the It wasn't Nick, I'll just

920
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:55,440
Speaker 2: say that. But it was a Siriani in suburban Philadelphia,

921
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 2: and I thought to myself, possible. Could we have Philadelphia

922

923
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 6: Well, I think it's very possible.

924
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 2: Oh yes, let me read some of these. I don't

925
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:11,439
Speaker 2: maybe this will bore you. I don't mean for it too,

926
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 2: but I'm just so thankful I could spend the whole

927
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:18,440
Speaker 2: show reading. I won't do that to you, but man

928
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:21,319
Speaker 2: from all over the country. Your generosity, it came in.

929
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:23,799

930
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:28,080
Speaker 2: dollars to thousands of dollars. And it doesn't matter what

Speaker 2: you could give or how much you gave. It all

932

Speaker 2: dot org, slash Chris or text my name Chris to

946
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:42,600
Speaker 2: nine four eight seven eight. All right, let's go to

947
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 2: the phone and talk to Dan in Missouri the show

948
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:48,799
Speaker 2: me State. Good morning, Dan, good to have you. Merry Christmas.

949
00:49:49,239 --> 00:49:51,720
Speaker 9: Merry Christmas to you, Chris.

950
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:55,600
Speaker 2: What's on your land this morning? Also, you bet.

951
00:49:55,400 --> 00:50:00,520
Speaker 9: You if the government will offers seventy thousand dollars, you

952
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:03,319
Speaker 9: know a year, there'll be a lot of people quit

953
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:05,120
Speaker 9: and work and waiting on a check.

954
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:09,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's a pretty hand. I mean,

955
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 2: think about that, though. We spend at one point for

956
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:16,279
Speaker 2: trillion dollars annually on welfare programs, which the Wall Street

957
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:18,440
Speaker 2: Journal broke down to if you just gave it to

958
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:21,719
Speaker 2: impoverished families ad or below the poverty line, that would

959
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:25,399
Speaker 2: equate to seventy grand household Me. What does that really

960
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:27,160
Speaker 2: tell you, Dan? Really? What does that tell you?

961
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 9: So there's a lot of abuse fraud in the system.

962
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:33,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's exactly right.

963
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:39,880
Speaker 9: Well, and so I think it should be a sliding scale. Also,

964
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:43,839
Speaker 9: you know, depending on the need and it's and it's

965
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:47,399
Speaker 9: a hand up, not a handout. So I think there

966
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:50,640
Speaker 9: should be a limit on how long it lasts. You know,

967
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:53,960
Speaker 9: give someone a chance to improve their situation. But man,

968
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:56,960
Speaker 9: just to be a it shouldn't be your goal to

969
00:50:57,080 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 9: become a person on the government dole.

970
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, glad you listen, Dan, Thank you so much. Stay

971
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:07,399
Speaker 2: in touch at Merry Christmas. You can stay in touch

Speaker 2: straight ahead tight? Well, this is traditionally for most of

980
00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:35,759
Speaker 2: us who have tried to battle our weight over the

981
00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:38,400
Speaker 2: years and not been successful with it. Christmas time, the

982
00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:41,360
Speaker 2: holiday season, maybe one of the worst times. It's just

983
00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:45,120
Speaker 2: impossible everywhere. In fact, just yesterday I was in the

984
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 2: office and I saw somebody brought in a tray of

985
00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:50,080
Speaker 2: this and a plate of that, and cookies here and

986
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:53,600
Speaker 2: cake there, and people are delivering trays and vats of

987
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:57,840
Speaker 2: different stuff. It's just everywhere. And once upon a time,

988
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:01,279
Speaker 2: I know exactly the way I would have behaved. I

989
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:04,080
Speaker 2: know exactly the way I would have thought about it. Well,

990
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:07,960
Speaker 2: I've already got a weight problem. I'm just gonna eat

991
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,680
Speaker 2: a little more. I'll tackle it in January. And the

992
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:13,120
Speaker 2: thing that you know fast Eddie, the executive producer of

993
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:15,719
Speaker 2: this effort, and I have both learned is you don't

994
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:19,600
Speaker 2: actually have to succumb to that. You can actually maintain

995
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:21,799
Speaker 2: weight loss. You can lose weight and maintain weight loss

996
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:27,520
Speaker 2: throughout this extraordinarily challenging time. And you know, our sponsors

997
00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:30,680
Speaker 2: at PhD Weight Loss have a big offer going on

998
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 2: right now to sign up with them before the end

999
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:36,319
Speaker 2: of this month, because come the turn of the year,

1000
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:39,440
Speaker 2: you know what happens in January. Everybody says, all right now,

1001
00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:41,880
Speaker 2: I'm ready to start. Well, that's when everybody does it.

1002
00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:45,880
Speaker 2: You can start now and save some big time money

1003
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:48,440
Speaker 2: doing so too. But doctor Ashley Lucas has created my

1004
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:50,200
Speaker 2: PhD Weight Loss and has been a friend of this

1005
00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 2: show and helped me lose over forty pounds in less

1006
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:56,879
Speaker 2: than four months time. Eddie is already on his way

1007
00:52:56,880 --> 00:52:59,480
Speaker 2: to almost twenty. In just a little over a month,

1008
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:02,720
Speaker 2: He's on his way of fifty pounds lost. Doctor Lucas,

1009
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:06,160
Speaker 2: the inspiration behind the whole program, joins us again this morning.

1010
00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:07,560
Speaker 2: We like to check in with her from time to

1011
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:10,040
Speaker 2: time because she talks about more than just weight loss.

1012
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:11,720
Speaker 2: By the way, on our own show, and Merry Christmas

1013
00:53:11,719 --> 00:53:12,960
Speaker 2: to you, doctor, Good morning.

1014
00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:16,080
Speaker 1: Hi Chris, Merry Christmas to you. How are you doing?

1015
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:20,480
Speaker 2: You know what I'm doing great? I really it's empowering

1016
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:23,799
Speaker 2: to say that I've lost weight this year and I

1017
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:28,240
Speaker 2: can steer down the barrel of all this incredibly bad

1018
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:31,799
Speaker 2: for me food and be okay. You know. And by

1019
00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:33,960
Speaker 2: the way, even if I do nibble on it a

1020
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:35,920
Speaker 2: little bit, I know how to pull it back in.

1021
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:37,600
Speaker 2: I don't have to just go nuts and go out

1022
00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:39,399
Speaker 2: of control and succumb to it. You know what I mean.

1023
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:41,600
Speaker 1: That's great, that's the goal.

1024
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 3: You said, there are foods coming in in that so

1025
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:46,279
Speaker 3: it sounds like it's intense over there.

1026
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:51,400
Speaker 2: We do nothing small, nothing small, I get, But is

1027
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:53,440
Speaker 2: it right? You've heard it over the years. I mean,

1028
00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:56,080
Speaker 2: this is when people just if they battle weight. I

1029
00:53:56,120 --> 00:53:58,840
Speaker 2: know this is the case with me. They just say, eh,

1030
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:00,880
Speaker 2: I'll see you in the new year. Even try right,

1031
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:03,480
Speaker 2: because you feel so overwhelmed by weight at some point

1032
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:05,080
Speaker 2: you just feel like giving up.

1033
00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:07,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's very true.

1034
00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:10,719
Speaker 3: You know, A very busy time for us actually is

1035
00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:14,040
Speaker 3: right after Christmas. For some reason, people are like, okay,

1036
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:17,400
Speaker 3: this counts, that's the new year. But a lot of

1037
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 3: people do get started during what I call the feasting season,

1038
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:26,000
Speaker 3: which is Thanksgiving, really Halloween through Christmas because they understand

1039
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:29,799
Speaker 3: they need to learn the tactics just like you spoke of,

1040
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:32,840
Speaker 3: to be able to get through these seasons and to

1041
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:35,799
Speaker 3: be able to celebrate and still enjoy. I think two

1042
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:38,800
Speaker 3: things are true here. You still can enjoy the holidays

1043
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:42,280
Speaker 3: and enjoy the foods that you love and stay healthy.

1044
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:46,040
Speaker 3: And so when you can learn these tactics and feel

1045
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:50,719
Speaker 3: empowered and feel in control of the food around you

1046
00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:53,600
Speaker 3: and how you behave around it, it feels so good.

1047
00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:58,840
Speaker 3: So you definitely can achieve good health outcomes even during

1048
00:54:58,840 --> 00:54:59,800
Speaker 3: this holiday season.

1049
00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:04,759
Speaker 2: I got the nicest email from a woman about your counselors,

1050
00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:07,160
Speaker 2: and she didn't name her specific counselor, nor do I

1051
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:10,200
Speaker 2: want to betray any confidences. But this is what people

1052
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:13,239
Speaker 2: should know about you know, Eddie and I work with Heather.

1053
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 2: You're a great counselor, but you have many of them,

1054
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:18,719
Speaker 2: and once a week when you're on the program, you

1055
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:21,640
Speaker 2: check in with different counselors. Tracy and Sarasota, Florida, said

1056
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:24,880
Speaker 2: that she is a twenty five year healthcare professional and

1057
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:26,960
Speaker 2: that she signed up and started this past summer. She's

1058
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:29,640
Speaker 2: down twenty five pounds to her goal weight and has

1059
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:31,919
Speaker 2: been on maintenance for a few weeks. But she said

1060
00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:34,480
Speaker 2: nothing is compared to how her mother benefited, and it's

1061
00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:36,360
Speaker 2: this is not about her mother being on the program,

1062
00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:40,160
Speaker 2: but the counselor that Tracy was working with started talking

1063
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:41,880
Speaker 2: with her about some of the things her mother was

1064
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:46,680
Speaker 2: battling from a dietary point of view, and it turned

1065
00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:49,440
Speaker 2: everything around, and she said her mother is feeling great too.

1066
00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:52,360
Speaker 2: My whole family, she concluded in this email, Doctor Lucas,

1067
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:54,680
Speaker 2: My whole family has benefited from the knowledge that they

1068
00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:57,960
Speaker 2: teach in terms of eating habits and health habits. I

1069
00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:00,840
Speaker 2: could not have found them without you, meaning this show,

1070
00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:03,319
Speaker 2: and you're advertising here, doctor Lucas, So I just I

1071
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:06,080
Speaker 2: want to impart that on people that you know when

1072
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:08,800
Speaker 2: they work with PhD weight loss, they're working with a

1073
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:11,400
Speaker 2: counselor every week who talks you through a lot, not

1074
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:12,400
Speaker 2: just what you're eating.

1075
00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, we have an amazing team of nutritionists and coaches

1076
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:22,239
Speaker 3: and it's a very high touch program because that's what

1077
00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:25,960
Speaker 3: I believe is required to create such a significant change

1078
00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:29,400
Speaker 3: in your life. So every week, one on one, you

1079
00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:32,560
Speaker 3: will have coaching where we talk about nutrition because a

1080
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:35,400
Speaker 3: lot of what we've been guided through or educated on

1081
00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:39,120
Speaker 3: around nutrition is completely wrong. It's backwards, and so we

1082
00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:42,240
Speaker 3: re educate on what you're doing. I think it's important

1083
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:45,319
Speaker 3: that you understand what your metabolism is doing and how

1084
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:47,759
Speaker 3: it behaves to different foods and timings and all of

1085
00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 3: these things, especially because everyone is different.

1086
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:52,040
Speaker 1: We also focus a lot on you.

1087
00:56:52,120 --> 00:56:55,040
Speaker 3: It's a very holistic program because I believe eighty percent

1088
00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:57,600
Speaker 3: of any change comes from the mind. So we've got

1089
00:56:57,640 --> 00:57:00,560
Speaker 3: to look at the mental, emotional, the habits, be behaviors,

1090
00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:03,120
Speaker 3: why you eat the way that you do, what's coming up,

1091
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:06,360
Speaker 3: what might be those sabotaging thoughts and triggers. And we

1092
00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:08,640
Speaker 3: do it so that the process is as simple and

1093
00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:12,719
Speaker 3: as easy as possible. But if you are participating or

1094
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:15,880
Speaker 3: have been participating in a program that just looks at

1095
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:19,120
Speaker 3: what you're consuming and doesn't look at the mindset and

1096
00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:21,800
Speaker 3: how we think about things, then the weight is not

1097
00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:24,680
Speaker 3: going to stay off in a sustainable, long term way.

1098
00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:26,120
Speaker 3: There's just no way around it.

1099
00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:27,320
Speaker 4: You know.

1100
00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:29,680
Speaker 3: I look at weight loss as a process of letting go,

1101
00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:32,200
Speaker 3: letting go of the fat weight that is no longer

1102
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:35,040
Speaker 3: serving you, but all of the emotions that are tied

1103
00:57:35,080 --> 00:57:38,240
Speaker 3: to it as well. And we hear what Tracy just

1104
00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:41,680
Speaker 3: shared all the time. You know, this impacts your loved ones,

1105
00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:45,640
Speaker 3: your kids, your grandkids. If you have a spouse or

1106
00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:48,000
Speaker 3: a partner and they don't participate in the program too,

1107
00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:50,440
Speaker 3: and they have weight to drop, they will drop it

1108
00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:53,800
Speaker 3: at least a portion of it just by osmosis, just

1109
00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:56,560
Speaker 3: by following you. Or if you have a spouse or

1110
00:57:56,680 --> 00:57:59,520
Speaker 3: partner who does not need to drop weight in your

1111
00:57:59,560 --> 00:58:02,600
Speaker 3: concern and if you can do this program, you definitely

1112
00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:05,320
Speaker 3: can and that person close to you, that loved one

1113
00:58:05,320 --> 00:58:10,520
Speaker 3: will still benefit. They'll reduce inflammation, they will improve their sleep.

1114
00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:14,080
Speaker 3: You know, I started this program working with athletes. My

1115
00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:17,520
Speaker 3: PhD is in sports nutrition and chronic disease. And I

1116
00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:20,560
Speaker 3: was working with all of this, these Olympic level athletes,

1117
00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 3: and what I found that this program that I've created

1118
00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:27,480
Speaker 3: had this significant impact on their performance, allowing them to

1119
00:58:27,560 --> 00:58:30,320
Speaker 3: achieve the body composition they needed to for the sport.

1120
00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:32,880
Speaker 3: But it had a more profound impact on those of

1121
00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:34,360
Speaker 3: us struggling with excess weight.

1122
00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:36,520
Speaker 1: So it works for athletes, it.

1123
00:58:36,440 --> 00:58:40,480
Speaker 3: Works for any individual who's looking to improve their overall wellness.

1124
00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:41,360
Speaker 1: They'll benefit.

1125
00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:44,720
Speaker 2: And everyone should know that if they're listening to us

1126
00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:47,480
Speaker 2: right now and they're interested, this is the month to call.

1127
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:50,280
Speaker 2: And I mean not to discourage people next month, but

1128
00:58:50,440 --> 00:58:53,280
Speaker 2: you're offering a deal right now in your program that

1129
00:58:53,680 --> 00:58:55,040
Speaker 2: goes away come January.

1130

Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, yes we are.

1131
00:58:58,080 --> 00:59:01,880
Speaker 3: We don't often offen for any kind of quote unquote

1132
00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:05,600
Speaker 3: deal because we are really in steady in what we provide.

1133
00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:08,520
Speaker 1: But this month we always want.

1134
00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:12,600
Speaker 3: To encourage people to get started because again it's such

1135
00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:16,360

Speaker 3: that will set you up for success as you continue on.

1137
00:59:19,120 --> 00:59:20,320
Speaker 1: Because my ultimate.

1138
00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:23,240
Speaker 3: Goal for every single person who works with PhD is

Speaker 2: So if you go to the website my PhD Weight Loss,

Speaker 2: nineteen hundred eight six four six four four nineteen hundred two.

1149
00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:56,040
Speaker 2: Things I really want to stress too, You don't do

1150
00:59:56,400 --> 00:59:59,960
Speaker 2: the shop thing right. There's no at least in my interaction,

1151
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,160
Speaker 2: and I've not had any kind of there's no medication thing.

1152
01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:05,959
Speaker 2: There's no medicine prescription, there's no shot prescribed. You don't.

1153
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:07,840
Speaker 2: You don't go that route.

1154
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:08,800
Speaker 1: We don't.

1155
01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:12,080
Speaker 3: We are a full natural approach. We've been doing this

1156
01:00:12,120 --> 01:00:15,439
Speaker 3: for over a decade. Our clients, most men will drop

1157
01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:18,560
Speaker 3: about three four sometimes five pounds a week on average,

1158
01:00:18,640 --> 01:00:20,560
Speaker 3: most of our women to two and a half up

1159
01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:23,880
Speaker 3: to three pounds per week, which is actually faster than

1160
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:27,280
Speaker 3: the medication. By the way that we shift how you

1161
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:30,959
Speaker 3: eat and the metabolic reset that that allows you will

1162
01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:34,320
Speaker 3: not have food hunger or food noise. Food chatter, all

1163
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:37,240
Speaker 3: of the things they're talking about that the drugs helped

1164
01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:40,120
Speaker 3: to quiet. It does this naturally. You don't have to

1165
01:00:40,200 --> 01:00:44,840
Speaker 3: worry about significant muscle loss or the significant complications from

1166
01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:48,160
Speaker 3: the drugs, or the weight regain after you stop the drugs.

1167
01:00:48,520 --> 01:00:51,640
Speaker 3: We just have found that PhD works so well there

1168
01:00:51,680 --> 01:00:55,640
Speaker 3: is really no need to insert the medication that has

1169
01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:57,360
Speaker 3: cost and complications.

1170
01:00:58,160 --> 01:00:59,800
Speaker 2: And I'll stress that you can do all this from

1171
01:00:59,840 --> 01:01:01,320
Speaker 2: the I'm port of your own home with about a

1172
01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:03,880
Speaker 2: minute to go, doctor Lucas. You can do this from home.

1173
01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:05,600
Speaker 2: This is not people you know, You're not going into

1174
01:01:05,640 --> 01:01:08,160
Speaker 2: a meeting or weighing in or some public scene. This

1175
01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:10,120
Speaker 2: is all. You can do this all in the confines

1176
01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:11,200
Speaker 2: of your own private space.

1177
01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:16,880
Speaker 1: That's right, that's what you prefer. We have thousands of clients.

1178
01:01:16,880 --> 01:01:20,680
Speaker 3: We've served over eleven six hundred clients, with the majority

1179
01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:22,000
Speaker 3: of them being nationwide.

1180
01:01:22,080 --> 01:01:24,480
Speaker 1: At home. It's very convenient.

1181
01:01:24,520 --> 01:01:26,720
Speaker 3: You can do it no matter where you live, when

1182
01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:31,080
Speaker 3: you're traveling, whatever might be coming up in your life.

1183
01:01:30,760 --> 01:01:31,960
Speaker 1: We will support you.

1184
01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:35,200
Speaker 3: I think that's the most important aspect of creating change

1185
01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:37,640
Speaker 3: in your life is to have the support and accountability

1186
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:40,880
Speaker 3: no matter what you're doing how busy your lifestyle is,

1187
01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:43,440
Speaker 3: you've got to have that support and that's definitely what

1188
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:45,200
Speaker 3: we strive to provide.

1189
01:01:45,960 --> 01:01:49,360
Speaker 2: Well, this show is already sixty pounds lighter than it

1190
01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:52,320

1191
01:01:52,360 --> 01:01:54,479
Speaker 2: want you to know. So there's sixty pounds less fat

01:01:54,520 --> 01:01:56,680
Speaker 2: between Idio and me, and we're going to go for

Speaker 2: the sponsors of this show is every one of them,

1206
01:02:28,680 --> 01:02:32,600
Speaker 2: in some former fashion, is help. It's a help. They're

1207
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:35,200
Speaker 2: not just purely selling a product or a service. They're

1211
01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:46,400
Speaker 2: feel inclined to say thank you to the sponsors who

1212
01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:48,520
Speaker 2: make the show work. As I have told you before,

1213
01:02:49,080 --> 01:02:53,560
Speaker 2: it is one thing to do a show and you

1214
01:02:53,680 --> 01:02:56,320
Speaker 2: really never know who's funding it. There are some shows

1215
01:02:56,320 --> 01:02:58,200
Speaker 2: out there who are very well funded and you have

1216
01:02:58,240 --> 01:03:00,600
Speaker 2: no idea who's funding them or who drives them. But

1217
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:04,280
Speaker 2: everybody you hear on this show, you know this show

1218
01:03:04,320 --> 01:03:06,919
Speaker 2: only works if the advertisers are here, and it only

1219
01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:09,040
Speaker 2: works if you support the advertisers. I am proud to

1220
01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:12,400
Speaker 2: partner with these people that we advertise with, including doctor Lucas,

1221
01:03:12,440 --> 01:03:15,640

1222
01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:19,840
Speaker 2: how much they help you and help other people. It's

1223

01:03:31,600 --> 01:03:35,760
Speaker 2: and Jews does just that. IFCJ is constantly at work

1228
01:03:35,760 --> 01:03:39,280
Speaker 2: to remind people that whether it's what we saw on

1229
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:44,720
Speaker 2: October seventh or even through a ceasefire, doesn't mean the ugliness. Frankly,

1230
01:03:44,760 --> 01:03:47,960
Speaker 2: the darkness that's trying to extinguish the light of Christians

1231
01:03:47,960 --> 01:03:49,960
Speaker 2: and Jews all over the world. It still exists. We

1232
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:52,000
Speaker 2: saw it just a couple of weeks ago in Australia.

1233
01:03:52,560 --> 01:03:55,080
Speaker 2: Times like these remind us that even with that cease fire,

1234
01:03:55,120 --> 01:03:57,439
Speaker 2: people are still being targeted simply because of their faith.

1235
01:03:57,480 --> 01:04:01,040
Speaker 2: And IFCJ exists to stay and in the gap, providing

1236
01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:04,920
Speaker 2: safety and security to Christians and Jews all over the country.

1237
01:04:04,960 --> 01:04:07,240
Speaker 2: They bring together Christians and Jews to be a light

1238
01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:12,520
Speaker 2: to suffering Jews and Christians throughout Europe and now even

1239
01:04:12,600 --> 01:04:15,960
Speaker 2: in Africa and the tragic stories we're seeing there people

1240
01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:20,000
Speaker 2: around the world facing these threats. The IFCJ folks are

1241
01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:22,920
Speaker 2: so grateful to you for being supportive. If you'd like

1242
01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:30,160
Speaker 2: to learn more URGENTIFCJ dot Org, Hershey, Pennsylvania. Good morning

1243
01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:33,120
Speaker 2: and Merry Christmas. Watching on the Salem News Channel all

1244
01:04:33,160 --> 01:04:38,080
Speaker 2: the beautiful lights at Hershey Park. Thanks a lot for

1245
01:04:38,160 --> 01:04:40,920
Speaker 2: listening all across the common of the Pennsylvania and around

1246
01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:43,280
Speaker 2: the country on great radio stations. We're so thrilled to

1247
01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:45,760
Speaker 2: have you along. I got a nice note from James

1248
01:04:45,800 --> 01:04:48,200
Speaker 2: this morning in pleasant Hill Missouri. He said, Good morning

1249
01:04:48,280 --> 01:04:50,400
Speaker 2: Christ and Merry Christmas. You appear to be in a

1250
01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:53,840
Speaker 2: good mood this morning, he said, I am, by the way,

1251
01:04:53,880 --> 01:04:55,480
Speaker 2: Thank you, James, he said, just a quick note to

1252
01:04:55,520 --> 01:04:59,440
Speaker 2: thank you for your outlook on life, politics, and most importantly,

1253
01:04:59,480 --> 01:05:02,160
Speaker 2: our relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Back

1254
01:05:02,200 --> 01:05:05,280
Speaker 2: in early April, you took my call and we spoke

1255
01:05:05,320 --> 01:05:11,000
Speaker 2: about the feared doomed market crash. And I'm happy to

1256
01:05:11,040 --> 01:05:15,240
Speaker 2: report that throughout, through personal accountability and words of great

1257
01:05:15,280 --> 01:05:18,120
Speaker 2: advice from yourself and others, twenty twenty five will end

1258
01:05:18,160 --> 01:05:21,360
Speaker 2: as a great and blessed year for my family. I

1259
01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:23,880
Speaker 2: wish twenty twenty six to be another strong year for

1260
01:05:23,960 --> 01:05:27,720
Speaker 2: you and yours, keep telling the truth, encouraging patience, and

1261
01:05:27,800 --> 01:05:30,840
Speaker 2: reminding us of our ultimate goal, salvation through faith in

1262
01:05:30,920 --> 01:05:35,960
Speaker 2: our Lord and Savior. Wow. Well, James, thank you, Merry Christmas.

1263
01:05:36,080 --> 01:05:39,920
Speaker 2: Of course, that is ultimately, we celebrate the birth of

1264
01:05:39,960 --> 01:05:41,960
Speaker 2: our Lord and Savior this week, and that is that's

1265
01:05:41,960 --> 01:05:44,960
Speaker 2: what gives us our hope. You know, a personal challenge

1266
01:05:44,960 --> 01:05:47,880
Speaker 2: that I've put for myself in twenty twenty six, I

1267
01:05:47,920 --> 01:05:49,840
Speaker 2: am now. I think I told you that I've been

1268
01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:53,240
Speaker 2: kind of filling in and co leading somewhat in a

1269
01:05:53,520 --> 01:05:57,440
Speaker 2: kind of a rotation group a Bible study through Romans,

1270
01:05:57,440 --> 01:06:01,640
Speaker 2: which just wrapped up, and I was asked if I

1271
01:06:01,640 --> 01:06:05,720
Speaker 2: would go ahead and step forward and now become the

1272
01:06:05,960 --> 01:06:10,440
Speaker 2: leader of the Bible study going forward. So I sort of,

1273
01:06:10,480 --> 01:06:13,640
Speaker 2: I guess. I did a soft audition of some Bible

1274
01:06:13,640 --> 01:06:15,920
Speaker 2: discussion on Sunday's Fast Eddie, and now I've talked my

1275
01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:18,640
Speaker 2: way into leading it full time starting in the new year.

1276
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:20,720
Speaker 2: So that's a new assignment for me and a new task,

1277
01:06:20,760 --> 01:06:23,040
Speaker 2: and I'm I'm up to it and I'm excited about it.

1278
01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:25,240
Speaker 2: But it's a personal challenge beyond what we do here,

1279
01:06:25,680 --> 01:06:29,840
Speaker 2: and I want that for everybody to expand and stretch

1280
01:06:31,120 --> 01:06:34,800
Speaker 2: for Jesus. That's my personal goal and for all of

1281
01:06:34,880 --> 01:06:37,320
Speaker 2: us as Christians. I hope that's your goal too. That's

1282
01:06:37,320 --> 01:06:39,040
Speaker 2: where I'd like to spend more of my energy in

1283
01:06:39,080 --> 01:06:42,280
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six. I'm not much for reslolutions, but that's one,

1284
01:06:42,640 --> 01:06:43,800
Speaker 2: you know, Yeah, So.

1285
01:06:43,880 --> 01:06:46,480
Speaker 6: I'm proud of you for that, And after you kind

1286
01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:48,520
Speaker 6: of go through this process, I would like to know,

1287
01:06:48,640 --> 01:06:51,840
Speaker 6: because I asked this of people all the time, how

1288
01:06:51,880 --> 01:06:55,120
Speaker 6: does anyone you know what we do the hours we work,

1289
01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:57,520
Speaker 6: how long it takes to put this content out.

1290
01:06:57,360 --> 01:06:59,320
Speaker 2: There every single day?

1291
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:02,920
Speaker 6: How do you find the time? Because I myself am

1292
01:07:02,960 --> 01:07:05,880
Speaker 6: looking for like even one of our good friends of

1293
01:07:05,880 --> 01:07:07,880
Speaker 6: the show, guy Shiraki, has tried to get me into this,

1294
01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:11,600
Speaker 6: like even a digital version like over the screen Bible study,

1295
01:07:11,600 --> 01:07:13,280
Speaker 6: and I still haven't found the time to do it yet.

1296
01:07:13,320 --> 01:07:15,880
Speaker 6: So you're gonna have to tell me how it goes

1297
01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:19,480
Speaker 6: and and what what you did to make time for

1298
01:07:19,560 --> 01:07:21,360
Speaker 6: that as well as do this every day.

1299
01:07:21,760 --> 01:07:24,760
Speaker 2: Well, you know it's a cliche, but they say you,

1300
01:07:24,840 --> 01:07:27,160
Speaker 2: and I don't. I don't say this to castigate you.

1301
01:07:27,160 --> 01:07:29,280
Speaker 2: Don't misunderstand, because it's this is as much for me

1302
01:07:29,720 --> 01:07:32,400
Speaker 2: as it is you or anybody else. They say you,

1303
01:07:32,400 --> 01:07:36,760
Speaker 2: you will always make time for the things you prioritize, Okay, right,

1304
01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:39,720
Speaker 2: and that's it. You'll find the time if you prioritize it,

1305
01:07:39,880 --> 01:07:42,960
Speaker 2: if that's what's important to you. And I will just say, honestly, personally,

1306
01:07:42,960 --> 01:07:44,880
Speaker 2: for me, this is just this is purely I'm speaking

1307
01:07:44,920 --> 01:07:49,320
Speaker 2: to myself, not to you. I I still kind of

1308
01:07:49,360 --> 01:07:51,600
Speaker 2: go through I catch myself often just kind of going

1309
01:07:51,640 --> 01:07:54,880
Speaker 2: through the probunctory. Well, it's Sunday, I'll go to class,

1310
01:07:54,920 --> 01:07:57,880
Speaker 2: and I'll go to church, and maybe I'll occasionally go

1311
01:07:57,880 --> 01:08:00,680
Speaker 2: to a Wednesday. But am I am I making the deliberate,

1312
01:08:00,800 --> 01:08:04,600
Speaker 2: conscious effort every day to unplug from this the news,

1313
01:08:04,680 --> 01:08:07,320
Speaker 2: social media and whatever and spend it in worship and

1314
01:08:07,360 --> 01:08:12,120
Speaker 2: reading scripture. And to me, the way I finally decided

1315
01:08:12,160 --> 01:08:14,080
Speaker 2: I'm going to make myself do that is well, if

1316
01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:17,040
Speaker 2: I lead others in a discussion every week, I'm bloody

1317
01:08:17,080 --> 01:08:19,080
Speaker 2: well going to have to do it now. Right, that's

1318
01:08:19,160 --> 01:08:22,200
Speaker 2: too much choice, That's right. So it's important.

1319
01:08:22,240 --> 01:08:24,960
Speaker 6: And you created the times just like, well, I have

1320
01:08:25,040 --> 01:08:25,679
Speaker 6: to do it now.

1321
01:08:26,400 --> 01:08:29,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm making myself. I'm giving myself that assignment happily

1322
01:08:30,439 --> 01:08:32,679
Speaker 2: and it's going to And I tell you something, leading

1323
01:08:32,760 --> 01:08:36,120
Speaker 2: a discussion it challenges you and grows you. You find

1324
01:08:36,360 --> 01:08:39,400
Speaker 2: at least I have most of the time these lessons.

1325
01:08:39,640 --> 01:08:41,840
Speaker 2: I won't say most, at least fifty percent of the time.

1326
01:08:41,960 --> 01:08:45,599
Speaker 2: It's like it's for you. When you're studying and you're

1327
01:08:45,600 --> 01:08:48,240
Speaker 2: preparing to speak to a group about it, you end

1328
01:08:48,320 --> 01:08:51,200
Speaker 2: up taking away something from the study where you say, oh,

1329
01:08:51,240 --> 01:08:53,479
Speaker 2: I hear you, I hear you, God, I get it.

1330
01:08:53,520 --> 01:08:56,720
Speaker 2: I hit you take something away throughout Romans. I will

1331
01:08:56,720 --> 01:09:00,599
Speaker 2: tell you I specifically benefited from my study of Romans

1332
01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:02,960
Speaker 2: in a way this year, and I've read through the

1333
01:09:02,960 --> 01:09:06,840
Speaker 2: book a couple of times. But boy, Romans eleven, if

1334
01:09:06,880 --> 01:09:16,080
Speaker 2: you want to spend some time Paul talking about Israel, Israel, Israel, Israel, Israel, Israel.

1335
01:09:16,400 --> 01:09:17,720
Speaker 2: I mean, if you had a nickel for every time

1336
01:09:17,760 --> 01:09:22,040
Speaker 2: you heard that word mentioned. This year, I was very

1337
01:09:22,080 --> 01:09:24,280
Speaker 2: conflicted about how I felt about things, and I couldn't

1338
01:09:24,280 --> 01:09:26,519
Speaker 2: really articulate how I felt about things. And there I

1339
01:09:26,640 --> 01:09:28,840
Speaker 2: was smack in the middle of a study co leading

1340
01:09:28,880 --> 01:09:32,519
Speaker 2: on Romans, and I happened to actually be leading class

1341
01:09:32,720 --> 01:09:35,880
Speaker 2: talking about Romans eleven, and I would just say, if

1342
01:09:35,920 --> 01:09:38,400
Speaker 2: that is something that you would like to know more about,

1343
01:09:38,560 --> 01:09:41,479
Speaker 2: or think more about, or study in more detail, read

1344
01:09:41,560 --> 01:09:46,880
Speaker 2: Paul's own writing in Romans eleven about Israel. There's more

1345
01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:48,760
Speaker 2: than that, of course, but that's a great place to

1346
01:09:48,760 --> 01:09:51,120
Speaker 2: start in my view. So that's kind of what I

1347
01:09:51,160 --> 01:09:54,759
Speaker 2: hope to get this year. Rosie O'Donnell, she's very depressed.

1348
01:09:54,880 --> 01:09:57,840
Speaker 2: Give me number seventy eight here, Paul, she needs the

1349
01:09:57,840 --> 01:10:00,160
Speaker 2: Lord Heaven. No, she's over in Ireland. Here's some of Rose.

1350
01:10:02,080 --> 01:10:06,760
Speaker 11: And those with what he calls derangement syndrome are the

1351
01:10:06,800 --> 01:10:11,519
Speaker 11: ones who think that he's a good man. And it

1352
01:10:11,600 --> 01:10:15,800
Speaker 11: is not a good man. It's hardly even a human.

1353
01:10:17,800 --> 01:10:26,280
Speaker 11: Humans are full of compassion and empathy, and he has zero, zero, zero.

1354
01:10:29,360 --> 01:10:33,400
Speaker 2: In all sincerity. Whether you're conservative or you're a miserable

1355
01:10:33,479 --> 01:10:36,320
Speaker 2: leftist like her, that's no way to lead your life.

1356
01:10:37,520 --> 01:10:40,439
Speaker 2: I sincerely hope that she finds the spirit of Jesus

1357
01:10:40,600 --> 01:10:43,000
Speaker 2: and the Holy Spirit for her life. That's a miserable

1358
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:46,160
Speaker 2: way to live. Don't let yourself become that merry Christmas.

1359
01:10:46,600 --> 01:10:48,840
Speaker 2: You heard me earlier this year, I hope talking about

1360
01:10:49,080 --> 01:10:52,880
Speaker 2: our partnership with Prison Fellowship, the non for profit Christian

1361
01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:57,360
Speaker 2: organization that helps kids who have incarcerated parents enjoy a

1362
01:10:57,360 --> 01:11:01,560
Speaker 2: little fresh air and fun out in the open outdoors

1363
01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:04,799
Speaker 2: during summer camp. Well, they do great work at Christmas

1364
01:11:04,880 --> 01:11:07,519
Speaker 2: time too, and we're proud to partner with them again

1365
01:11:07,640 --> 01:11:11,280
Speaker 2: in what they call their Angel Tree Christmas campaign. You know,

1366
01:11:11,320 --> 01:11:15,240
Speaker 2: there are thousands of kids all over the country, through

1367
01:11:15,240 --> 01:11:17,559
Speaker 2: no fault of their own, who see one or maybe

1368
01:11:17,600 --> 01:11:20,080
Speaker 2: even both of their parents incarcerated this time of year,

1369
01:11:20,080 --> 01:11:23,240
Speaker 2: and what a what a tough thing that is. You know,

1370
01:11:23,360 --> 01:11:27,080
Speaker 2: a child should be enjoying the Christmas season, and with

1371
01:11:27,160 --> 01:11:30,200
Speaker 2: something that heavy in their home, it's often difficult to do.

1372
01:11:30,280 --> 01:11:33,120
Speaker 2: What I love about Prison Fellowship is and what is

1373
01:11:33,160 --> 01:11:36,040
Speaker 2: so cool about what Angel Tree does. They take a

1374
01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:38,559
Speaker 2: thirty dollars donation that you give and they can turn

1375
01:11:38,600 --> 01:11:41,320
Speaker 2: that into a gift for a young person who may

1376
01:11:41,320 --> 01:11:43,920
Speaker 2: be struggling this Christmas. And best of all, it's not

1377
01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:46,800
Speaker 2: just a gift. It's a handwritten note from their parent

1378
01:11:46,880 --> 01:11:51,719
Speaker 2: who happens to be incarcerated, and most importantly, the gospel

1379
01:11:51,720 --> 01:11:54,400
Speaker 2: message they hear the truth of Jesus this time of year.

1380
01:11:54,400 --> 01:11:57,360
Speaker 2: That's a thirty dollars gift from you to a child

1381
01:11:57,400 --> 01:12:00,720
Speaker 2: who could really use some joy. So I hope you'll

1382
01:12:00,760 --> 01:12:02,120
Speaker 2: join me. And there are a couple of ways to

1383
01:12:02,120 --> 01:12:03,920
Speaker 2: do it. If this is something that's important to you

1384
01:12:04,160 --> 01:12:06,599
Speaker 2: or interesting to you, or you think you know I've

1385
01:12:06,640 --> 01:12:09,160
Speaker 2: been blessed, I'd like to be a blessing. Thirty bucks

1386
01:12:09,200 --> 01:12:11,719
Speaker 2: gets it done for one child. One hundred and fifty bucks.

1387
01:12:11,920 --> 01:12:16,480
Speaker 2: You've impacted five kids and their Christmas with a handwritten

1388
01:12:16,479 --> 01:12:19,479
Speaker 2: note from their parents as well as the gospel message

1389
01:12:19,520 --> 01:12:23,120
Speaker 2: of Jesus. It's one of the most important things we

1390
01:12:23,160 --> 01:12:24,880
Speaker 2: do all year as far as I'm concerned here on

1391

1399
01:12:45,400 --> 01:12:48,400
Speaker 2: at Prison Fellowship. Hey, everybody's trying to save money where

1400
01:12:48,400 --> 01:12:50,840
Speaker 2: they can. If you buy your own health insurance or

1401
01:12:50,880 --> 01:12:53,679
Speaker 2: if you're on Obamacare, you know how expensive those premiums

1402
01:12:53,680 --> 01:12:55,920
Speaker 2: are getting. It's why I've sent my own parents, my

1403
01:12:55,960 --> 01:12:58,800
Speaker 2: personal friends, and my colleagues to John Ruhlman and his

1404
01:12:58,800 --> 01:13:02,400
Speaker 2: team at US Medical Plan. John works with one hundred

1405
01:13:02,439 --> 01:13:05,280
Speaker 2: different private health insurance companies across the country to find

1406
01:13:05,320 --> 01:13:08,240
Speaker 2: you the very best coverage at the very best rates.

1407
01:13:08,560 --> 01:13:11,120
Speaker 2: My own parents saved four hundred dollars a month each

1408
01:13:11,280 --> 01:13:14,880
Speaker 2: on their Medicare supplemental health insurance premiums reaching out to

1409
01:13:14,960 --> 01:13:17,600
Speaker 2: John Rouman and US Medical Plan dot Com. I have

1410
01:13:17,640 --> 01:13:20,040
Speaker 2: a friend in between jobs. She reached out to US

1411
01:13:20,080 --> 01:13:23,519
Speaker 2: Medical Plan to replace her Cobra insurance rates. Saved six

1412
01:13:23,600 --> 01:13:26,120
Speaker 2: hundred dollars a month. A personal friend who buys his

1413
01:13:26,200 --> 01:13:29,280
Speaker 2: own families health insurance out of pocket, I send him

1414
01:13:29,320 --> 01:13:32,240
Speaker 2: to John and now he's saving one thousand dollars a month. Listen, folks,

1415
01:13:32,439 --> 01:13:35,040
Speaker 2: this is one of the easiest ways to save appreciable

1416
01:13:35,040 --> 01:13:38,160
Speaker 2: money every month without sacrificing coverage. But you're not going

1417
01:13:38,240 --> 01:13:40,000
Speaker 2: to know unless you reach out right now and have

1420
01:13:47,400 --> 01:13:50,040
Speaker 2: good morning and Merry Christmas. We're looking at Key West,

1421
01:13:50,080 --> 01:13:52,040
Speaker 2: Florida this morning on the Salem News Channel. Thanks for

1422
01:13:52,120 --> 01:13:55,679
Speaker 2: listening on one O two point five N ninety six

1423
01:13:55,720 --> 01:13:59,280
Speaker 2: point nine. There in the southernmost part of Florida. Beautiful

1424
01:13:59,280 --> 01:14:02,160
Speaker 2: looking shot over the water. Guy sitting there in short

1425
01:14:02,160 --> 01:14:06,880
Speaker 2: pants looking out over the water this morning Bragger fast

1426
01:14:06,960 --> 01:14:09,200
Speaker 2: Eddy looked out the window, saw snow. It's very nice

1427
01:14:09,200 --> 01:14:12,120
Speaker 2: there in DC as well, so some snowfall in suburban

1428
01:14:12,160 --> 01:14:17,720
Speaker 2: Philadelphia and in Arlington, where our studios are located. I

1429
01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:19,439
Speaker 2: thought it was really nice that the guys in the

1430
01:14:19,479 --> 01:14:22,000
Speaker 2: control room got into the holiday spirit too. While you're

1431
01:14:22,040 --> 01:14:25,800
Speaker 2: looking at your window and seeing snowfall, fast Eddie, the

1432
01:14:25,800 --> 01:14:28,280
Speaker 2: guys in the control room they're in the Christmas spirit.

1433
01:14:29,080 --> 01:14:34,599
Speaker 2: They've simulated the snowfall. It's asbestos, and it's really it's charming.

1434
01:14:34,640 --> 01:14:38,720
Speaker 2: It's just a sweet it's the sweet light fall of right.

1435
01:14:39,040 --> 01:14:42,000
Speaker 2: Hop up, PAULI g love Bobby. You're all in there.

1436
01:14:42,120 --> 01:14:45,439
Speaker 2: Are you enjoying the dusting of asbestos? Does it make

1437
01:14:45,439 --> 01:14:46,880
Speaker 2: you feel like you're in the Christmas kind of like

1438
01:14:46,880 --> 01:14:50,439
Speaker 2: a snow globe and I'm asbestos globe. I think that's nice.

1439
01:14:51,160 --> 01:14:53,840
Speaker 6: More fiberglass than asbestos, at least allegedly.

1440
01:14:56,800 --> 01:15:00,920
Speaker 2: They're doing massive renovations in our control room and these guys,

1441
01:15:01,120 --> 01:15:04,400
Speaker 2: God bless, wave to the people, boys, say Mary Christmas

1442
01:15:04,439 --> 01:15:07,439
Speaker 2: to everybody. Yeah, these guys have been sitting in there,

1443
01:15:07,520 --> 01:15:11,400
Speaker 2: running the show like champs while they've just been destroying

1444
01:15:11,439 --> 01:15:14,240
Speaker 2: the entire that room they're in, is it and everywhere

1445
01:15:14,320 --> 01:15:16,240
Speaker 2: around them on the outside of those four walls, they're

1446
01:15:16,320 --> 01:15:18,360
Speaker 2: utterly destroying everything fast Eddie.

1447
01:15:19,240 --> 01:15:22,000
Speaker 6: I don't know how I et Chris as audio first.

1448
01:15:22,040 --> 01:15:23,920
Speaker 6: For me, I don't know how you can deal with that.

1449
01:15:24,040 --> 01:15:25,679
Speaker 6: God Bless you guys, Merry Christmas.

1450
01:15:25,920 --> 01:15:29,360
Speaker 2: Woo. That's pop up Pauli the melio there on the

1451
01:15:29,439 --> 01:15:32,240
Speaker 2: left of your screen. And then there's a g Love

1452
01:15:32,280 --> 01:15:34,760
Speaker 2: our technical director there in the middle, and Bobby bass

1453
01:15:34,800 --> 01:15:37,320
Speaker 2: are Audio Cowboy there on the right. And those three

1454
01:15:37,360 --> 01:15:39,559
Speaker 2: guys are sort of the nerve center, fast Eddie. They

1455
01:15:39,560 --> 01:15:41,360
Speaker 2: make the whole show hum. So people that watch on

1456
01:15:41,360 --> 01:15:44,120
Speaker 2: the Salem News Channel who never get to see those guys,

1457
01:15:44,120 --> 01:15:46,320
Speaker 2: those are the guys that make the show work every day,

1458
01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:49,400
Speaker 2: and we're grateful to them, of course, fast Eddie. It

1459
01:15:49,439 --> 01:15:52,920
Speaker 2: goes without saying the brains behind the program, the executive

1460
01:15:52,920 --> 01:15:55,519
Speaker 2: producer six years running. Now, I was just doing the

1461
01:15:55,520 --> 01:15:57,000
Speaker 2: math on that. Is that right? I just got my

1462
01:15:57,080 --> 01:15:59,920
Speaker 2: six year certificate or some such thing in there. That's right.

1463
01:16:00,360 --> 01:16:03,200
Speaker 2: They started gradulating us for six years with the Salem

1464
01:16:03,280 --> 01:16:03,880
Speaker 2: Media Group.

1465
01:16:04,439 --> 01:16:07,880
Speaker 6: It's pretty intense and a good way. Like it's I

1466
01:16:07,920 --> 01:16:13,439
Speaker 6: hadn't thought about it. It's like, wow, November, yeah, November fourth, twenty.

1467
01:16:13,280 --> 01:16:16,839
Speaker 2: Nineteen is when you started and with Salem and wrapping

1468
01:16:16,920 --> 01:16:19,800
Speaker 2: up in this sixth year, our first year in syndication.

1469
01:16:20,160 --> 01:16:21,960
Speaker 2: It's been a real treat, it really has. It's been

1470
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:25,040
Speaker 2: a lot of fun, Steve Moore, our chief economist, is

1471
01:16:25,080 --> 01:16:28,400
Speaker 2: on the way, you know. Twenty twenty five. It was

1472
01:16:29,880 --> 01:16:32,120
Speaker 2: not just our first year in syndication. Professionally, it was

1473
01:16:32,120 --> 01:16:33,360
Speaker 2: a lot of fun. It's been a lot of fun.

1474
01:16:33,360 --> 01:16:35,280
Speaker 2: But it was also a year of competence for the

1475
01:16:35,320 --> 01:16:38,800
Speaker 2: country because, for the first time in a very long time,

1476
01:16:38,840 --> 01:16:44,440
Speaker 2: the United States didn't drift. It acted. Authority was exercise.

1477
01:16:44,520 --> 01:16:49,080
Speaker 2: You saw it again yesterday. Systems were enforced, limits were restored.

1478
01:16:49,160 --> 01:16:53,479
Speaker 2: The country changed direction, and not just giving platitudes and speeches,

1479
01:16:53,520 --> 01:16:57,439
Speaker 2: actual structural changes. It's like the early months of Franklin

1480
01:16:57,520 --> 01:17:02,680
Speaker 2: Roosevelt's presidency, though it aimed in the opposite direction. This

1481
01:17:02,800 --> 01:17:06,440
Speaker 2: Trump term has been defined less by rhetoric than by incentives.

1482
01:17:06,520 --> 01:17:11,000
Speaker 2: Borders were actually secured, energy was actually unleashed. Bureaucratic excess

1483
01:17:11,080 --> 01:17:15,040
Speaker 2: was finally forced to retreat. Three specific victories stand out

1484
01:17:15,040 --> 01:17:18,439
Speaker 2: to me not as slogans, but as realities Americans could

1485
01:17:18,439 --> 01:17:23,720
Speaker 2: feel in their daily lives. Affordability, sovereignty, and accountability. They

1486
01:17:23,760 --> 01:17:28,400
Speaker 2: marked the opening chapter of restoration and endurance that will

1487
01:17:28,439 --> 01:17:30,599
Speaker 2: be decided in twenty twenty six. We hope. Let's start

1488
01:17:30,600 --> 01:17:33,439
Speaker 2: with the economy. The most important economic fact of twenty

1489
01:17:33,479 --> 01:17:37,320
Speaker 2: twenty five. Isn't simply that inflation fell, It's that inflation cooled,

1490
01:17:37,320 --> 01:17:41,720
Speaker 2: despite everything experts insisted would make it impossible. Tariffs were

1491
01:17:41,720 --> 01:17:46,640
Speaker 2: supposed to ignite price spirals. Energy deregulation was supposed to

1492
01:17:46,800 --> 01:17:51,360
Speaker 2: cause chaos, and instead prices stabilized, Credit conditions eased, energy

1493
01:17:51,400 --> 01:17:58,200
Speaker 2: costs declined. Affordability and the metrics family live by Affordability

1494
01:17:58,200 --> 01:18:01,320
Speaker 2: became closer to a reality. And it wasn't luck. It

1495
01:18:01,360 --> 01:18:05,000
Speaker 2: was because of policy. Energy was decisive too, and an

1496
01:18:05,040 --> 01:18:10,320
Speaker 2: economy increasingly driven by AI, advanced manufacturing, medical research, space exploration,

1497
01:18:10,520 --> 01:18:14,000
Speaker 2: national defense, energy is no longer just another input. It's

1498
01:18:14,280 --> 01:18:19,680
Speaker 2: the bottleneck. A nation cannot produce abundant, reliable power and

1499
01:18:19,760 --> 01:18:22,840
Speaker 2: not lead the future. You can't lead the future without it.

1500
01:18:22,880 --> 01:18:26,000
Speaker 2: You have to have it. Trump understood this. Deregulating domestic

1501
01:18:26,120 --> 01:18:30,759
Speaker 2: energy brings costs down. I just saw gas at two

1502
01:18:30,880 --> 01:18:35,519
Speaker 2: twenty nine at my pump. Recently, tariffs played to commence

1503
01:18:36,200 --> 01:18:39,519
Speaker 2: a complimentary role in all of this too, and they

1504
01:18:39,600 --> 01:18:42,200
Speaker 2: deserve to be understood correctly. Tariff's do. They are not

1505
01:18:43,240 --> 01:18:47,000
Speaker 2: protectionist tantrums or legislative tinkering. They are, in my opinion,

1506
01:18:47,040 --> 01:18:51,040
Speaker 2: an article to power closely related to the president's authority

1507
01:18:51,040 --> 01:18:55,400
Speaker 2: over foreign affairs and national security. I talked about that earlier. Historically,

1508
01:18:55,400 --> 01:19:00,320
Speaker 2: tariff's functioned as the economic equivalent of soft blockades. Naval

1509
01:19:00,320 --> 01:19:03,920
Speaker 2: blockades restrict ships, and tariffs restrict the flow of strategic

1510
01:19:03,960 --> 01:19:06,840
Speaker 2: goods and dependency without firing a shot. By the way,

1511
01:19:07,280 --> 01:19:10,799
Speaker 2: and in a world where supply chains have become geopolitical weapons,

1512
01:19:11,000 --> 01:19:16,680
Speaker 2: tariffs allow the executive to respond quickly to hostile trade practices, espionage,

1513
01:19:16,760 --> 01:19:21,000
Speaker 2: currency manipulation, and more. And these are threats Congress is

1514
01:19:21,040 --> 01:19:24,240
Speaker 2: structurally just too slow to counter by themselves. Tariffs were

1515
01:19:24,240 --> 01:19:29,679
Speaker 2: never meant to stop automation. They slowed the outsourcing shock,

1516
01:19:29,840 --> 01:19:33,799
Speaker 2: buying time for American labor and capital and innovation to adapt.

1517
01:19:34,800 --> 01:19:39,560
Speaker 2: It's not protectionism, it's economic state craft, its national security.

1518
01:19:40,479 --> 01:19:43,719
Speaker 2: All the critics promise disaster, but twenty twenty five delivered relief.

1519
01:19:43,760 --> 01:19:46,679
Speaker 2: And when families can fill their gas tanks and stock

1520
01:19:46,760 --> 01:19:50,599
Speaker 2: their fridges and plan ahead without dread, our country begins

1521
01:19:50,640 --> 01:19:55,120
Speaker 2: to steady. When families stabilize, so do nations. The second

1522
01:19:55,200 --> 01:19:59,880
Speaker 2: victory was sovereignty. Sovereignty didn't return through symbolism alone. It

1523
01:20:00,080 --> 01:20:04,519
Speaker 2: returned through enforcement, and enforcement includes deportation. By the way,

1524
01:20:04,520 --> 01:20:07,360
Speaker 2: by removing millions of illegal entrants, the government didn't just

1525
01:20:07,840 --> 01:20:11,160
Speaker 2: reassert the law. It corrected a market distortion that had

1526
01:20:11,280 --> 01:20:15,840
Speaker 2: quietly driven up costs for years. With fewer illegal aliens

1527
01:20:15,880 --> 01:20:19,719
Speaker 2: competing for housing and wages in public services, supplying demand,

1528
01:20:19,800 --> 01:20:26,360
Speaker 2: dynamics reassert themselves. Rental markets loosen wage pressure, eases local

1529
01:20:26,400 --> 01:20:31,599
Speaker 2: resources stretch further. It's not ideology, folks, it's economics. Secure

1530
01:20:31,640 --> 01:20:35,480
Speaker 2: borders restore confidence on multiple levels all at once. Economic

1531
01:20:35,560 --> 01:20:39,519
Speaker 2: confidence that wages won't be undercut, civic confidence that laws

1532
01:20:39,560 --> 01:20:43,639
Speaker 2: still matter, cultural confidence that a nation retains the right

1533
01:20:43,720 --> 01:20:48,240
Speaker 2: to define itself. Sovereignty is not abstract. It's the precondition

1534
01:20:48,360 --> 01:20:53,520
Speaker 2: for investment, innovation, and social trust. The third and quietest

1535
01:20:53,600 --> 01:20:58,320
Speaker 2: victory was accountability. The most consequential reform of twenty twenty

1536
01:20:58,320 --> 01:21:00,519
Speaker 2: five did not happen at the gas pumper the border.

1537
01:21:00,560 --> 01:21:05,000
Speaker 2: It happened inside Washington. DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency,

1538
01:21:05,479 --> 01:21:09,080
Speaker 2: introduced something that federal bureaucracy has not faced in generations.

1539
01:21:10,160 --> 01:21:16,240
Speaker 2: Automated accountability, using AI to flag duplication, fraud, and waste

1540
01:21:16,840 --> 01:21:21,879
Speaker 2: before money moved. DOGE disrupted a system built on delay

1541
01:21:22,600 --> 01:21:28,320
Speaker 2: and opaqueness. Billions in questionable spending were paused, regulations were streamlined,

1542
01:21:28,560 --> 01:21:35,040
Speaker 2: Transparency replaced inertia. Waste was never accidental, it was structural,

1543
01:21:35,120 --> 01:21:39,920
Speaker 2: and DOGE attacked the plumbing of it all. Controlling deficits

1544
01:21:40,080 --> 01:21:45,080
Speaker 2: isn't about austerity. It's about avoiding national bankruptcy. So America

1545
01:21:45,120 --> 01:21:49,040
Speaker 2: can invest where it has to, energy, dominance, defense readiness,

1546
01:21:49,640 --> 01:21:55,840
Speaker 2: technological leadership, infrastructure, and families. DOGE did not dismantle the

1547
01:21:55,880 --> 01:22:05,200
Speaker 2: administrative state overnight check teck. Growth actually stopped and some

1548
01:22:05,280 --> 01:22:10,320
Speaker 2: contraction began. That alone makes twenty twenty five. Historic hiring

1549
01:22:10,400 --> 01:22:13,920
Speaker 2: was exclusively in the private sector, no government job growth. Now.

1550
01:22:13,920 --> 01:22:15,880
Speaker 2: None of this means the work is finished. Of course,

1551
01:22:15,960 --> 01:22:21,000
Speaker 2: housing shortages remain, student debt is still sky high, entrepreneurship

1552
01:22:21,080 --> 01:22:24,680
Speaker 2: wealth building for an entire generation has been delayed. And

1553
01:22:24,720 --> 01:22:28,080
Speaker 2: these aren't failures of restoration. They are the next problems

1554
01:22:28,160 --> 01:22:32,720
Speaker 2: worth solving. And that's why forward looking, market driven ideas

1555
01:22:32,880 --> 01:22:36,880
Speaker 2: like if I may my Stagall plan matter. The goal

1556
01:22:37,000 --> 01:22:42,080
Speaker 2: is not government micromanagement. Its expansion, increasing housing supply, reducing

1557
01:22:42,160 --> 01:22:46,679
Speaker 2: regulatory choke points, restructuring student debts so it stops crowding

1558
01:22:46,720 --> 01:22:51,519
Speaker 2: out home ownership allowing Americans to build equity instead of

1559
01:22:51,720 --> 01:22:56,760
Speaker 2: treading water. Solving affordability permanently requires pairing discipline government with

1560
01:22:56,840 --> 01:23:00,679
Speaker 2: creative private sector solutions, not pretending the problems don't exist.

1561
01:23:01,600 --> 01:23:05,479
Speaker 2: Restoration creates opportunity. The next phase is, of course, building.

1562
01:23:05,720 --> 01:23:11,040
Speaker 2: Christmas is about arrival, not completion. Twenty twenty five marked

1563
01:23:11,080 --> 01:23:15,599
Speaker 2: a return to first principles, limited government, a secure nation

1564
01:23:16,160 --> 01:23:20,400
Speaker 2: and a prosperous people. Whether they endure, well, that's what's

1565
01:23:20,439 --> 01:23:23,840
Speaker 2: going to be decided in twenty twenty six. Look, the

1566
01:23:23,840 --> 01:23:27,360
Speaker 2: fact of the matter is restoration is very, very fragile.

1567
01:23:28,840 --> 01:23:33,160
Speaker 2: It's tenuous. We're on the right track, but it is real,

1568
01:23:33,800 --> 01:23:37,559
Speaker 2: it is happening, Real results are happening, positive steps are

1569
01:23:37,600 --> 01:23:41,479
Speaker 2: being taken, and for the very very first time in

1570
01:23:41,520 --> 01:23:44,200
Speaker 2: a very long time, at least since I've been able

1571
01:23:44,240 --> 01:23:48,960
Speaker 2: to vote, America is actually moving in the right direction.

1572
01:23:50,600 --> 01:23:53,719
Speaker 2: And we have a president to thank for that who's

1573
01:23:53,760 --> 01:23:57,040
Speaker 2: continuing to drive that agenda even into this Christmas time.

1574
01:23:57,680 --> 01:24:01,639
Speaker 2: There's no off position on this president's switch. I'm personally

1575
01:24:01,640 --> 01:24:04,920
Speaker 2: grateful for Donald Trump, and I don't think because we

1576
01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:07,120
Speaker 2: turn the calendar and head into twe to twenty six,

1577
01:24:07,160 --> 01:24:10,720
Speaker 2: we should become glum and dour and pessimistic. I think

1578
01:24:10,720 --> 01:24:14,559
Speaker 2: we continue to demand that restoration. I think there's plenty

1579
01:24:14,560 --> 01:24:17,439
Speaker 2: more to be done and plenty of time ahead. And

1580
01:24:17,479 --> 01:24:20,360
Speaker 2: I don't think it's a lock that Democrats are going

1581
01:24:20,400 --> 01:24:24,800
Speaker 2: to win in twenty twenty six. They're historically unpopular. There

1582
01:24:24,880 --> 01:24:27,880
Speaker 2: is still time if we have the will to stay

1583
01:24:27,920 --> 01:24:33,400
Speaker 2: engaged and continue to push. So Merry Christmas and happy

1584
01:24:33,439 --> 01:24:36,120
Speaker 2: New Year, and let's get back at it in twenty

1585
01:24:36,160 --> 01:24:40,320
Speaker 2: twenty six. You know, I don't really have any opinion

1586
01:24:40,520 --> 01:24:43,360
Speaker 2: of what's going on over at CBS, but I'm having

1587
01:24:43,400 --> 01:24:45,640
Speaker 2: a lot of fun watching it. Merry Christmas, listening to

1588
01:24:45,720 --> 01:24:49,000
Speaker 2: Dino Dean Martin, looking at them skating there in Rockefeller

1589
01:24:49,080 --> 01:24:53,760
Speaker 2: Center this morning on the ice rink. Telephone number eight

1590
01:24:53,800 --> 01:24:55,639
Speaker 2: five fives to goll if you'd like to get in here.

1591
01:24:55,720 --> 01:24:57,960
Speaker 2: Hope you're getting ready for a great Christmas with your family.

1592
01:24:58,920 --> 01:25:01,120
Speaker 2: Don't know if you've been following or paying much attention

1593
01:25:01,160 --> 01:25:03,040
Speaker 2: to her, if you even care. I'm not really sure

1594
01:25:03,040 --> 01:25:05,200
Speaker 2: I do. But it's fun. It's more that this is

1595
01:25:05,280 --> 01:25:08,759
Speaker 2: just more fun for me to watch traditional legacy media

1596
01:25:09,400 --> 01:25:14,040
Speaker 2: fracturing and falling apart and fighting, you know, Barry Weiss,

1597
01:25:14,600 --> 01:25:17,240
Speaker 2: who is I don't even know how to describe her

1598
01:25:17,439 --> 01:25:21,240
Speaker 2: ed she's she came up again this weekend at Amfest

1599
01:25:21,320 --> 01:25:23,360
Speaker 2: and she and Megan Kelly are in a slap fight

1600
01:25:23,439 --> 01:25:25,800
Speaker 2: now or whatever. I don't know. It all bores me

1601
01:25:25,840 --> 01:25:28,559
Speaker 2: to tears, and I don't really care. But she was

1602
01:25:28,600 --> 01:25:32,320
Speaker 2: a former liberal and she started doing tremendous work during

1603
01:25:32,320 --> 01:25:36,559
Speaker 2: the Biden COVID era, controlling media and controlling the Hunter

1604
01:25:36,600 --> 01:25:41,240
Speaker 2: Biden laptop story. She and Matt Taibe and a couple

1605
01:25:41,240 --> 01:25:44,080
Speaker 2: of others really took off on substack and became known

1606
01:25:44,120 --> 01:25:48,400
Speaker 2: as actual true liberals in the sense of speaking truth

1607
01:25:48,439 --> 01:25:52,000
Speaker 2: to power rather than coordinating with government. So she became

1608
01:25:52,120 --> 01:25:56,400
Speaker 2: sort of a heroine to conservatives and that she actually

1609
01:25:56,400 --> 01:26:01,080
Speaker 2: decided to challenge authority instead of just parroting the official

1610
01:26:01,120 --> 01:26:03,400
Speaker 2: line from the Biden White House that clearly was not

1611
01:26:03,439 --> 01:26:06,120
Speaker 2: in control of anything, the husk and his lying press

1612
01:26:06,160 --> 01:26:08,920
Speaker 2: secretary and all the coordination with social media. Barry Weiss

1613
01:26:08,960 --> 01:26:12,280
Speaker 2: was actually someone, as a journalist who is concerned about that,

1614
01:26:12,520 --> 01:26:15,720
Speaker 2: And as we often do, we wrap our loving arms

1615
01:26:15,760 --> 01:26:18,759
Speaker 2: around any liberal who actually behaves like a normal human being.

1616
01:26:18,800 --> 01:26:22,360
Speaker 2: From time to time, you know, we do that ed like,

1617
01:26:22,400 --> 01:26:25,679
Speaker 2: oh yeah, a liberal behaves once and we get excited

1618
01:26:25,680 --> 01:26:27,240
Speaker 2: and want to bring them into the fold. They're not

1619
01:26:27,280 --> 01:26:29,800
Speaker 2: always necessarily conservatives forever, but we do that a lot.

1620
01:26:30,000 --> 01:26:32,439
Speaker 6: No, No, I agree. Ever since you said it for

1621
01:26:32,479 --> 01:26:35,880
Speaker 6: the first time I remembered it with Kanye, I always.

1622
01:26:35,560 --> 01:26:36,720
Speaker 2: Read them just like, that's right.

1623
01:26:37,280 --> 01:26:39,479
Speaker 6: Let's not get ahead of ourselves again.

1624
01:26:39,880 --> 01:26:42,840
Speaker 2: People are useful when they're useful, and we should always

1625
01:26:43,160 --> 01:26:46,120
Speaker 2: take their help and assert their usefulness when they're useful,

1626
01:26:46,160 --> 01:26:49,519
Speaker 2: but take them under our wing whole cloth and say, oh, well,

1627
01:26:49,560 --> 01:26:52,720
Speaker 2: they're tried and true, rock ribbed conservative odds are if

1628
01:26:52,720 --> 01:26:55,200
Speaker 2: they've not had a full scale conversion, they're going to

1629
01:26:55,240 --> 01:26:58,280
Speaker 2: disappoint you eventually. It's like Bill Maher, he's great when

1630
01:26:58,320 --> 01:27:02,760
Speaker 2: he's great, but he's not always great. He's great a

1631
01:27:02,760 --> 01:27:04,680
Speaker 2: lot more than he used to be. So anyway, my

1632
01:27:04,720 --> 01:27:10,360
Speaker 2: point is, now Barry Weiss runs CBS News. Now, I

1633
01:27:10,400 --> 01:27:12,599
Speaker 2: don't have any feelings about her. Really. I don't know

1634
01:27:12,600 --> 01:27:16,320
Speaker 2: what kind of political person she is really, and I

1635
01:27:16,360 --> 01:27:19,240
Speaker 2: don't know I know that Paramount and CBS they're doing

1636
01:27:19,240 --> 01:27:21,439
Speaker 2: all kinds of merging and buying, and they're still trying

1637
01:27:21,479 --> 01:27:24,840
Speaker 2: to buy some other I don't know what they're in

1638
01:27:24,880 --> 01:27:27,800
Speaker 2: the middle of. Everybody's just all media companies are not

1639
01:27:27,840 --> 01:27:30,000
Speaker 2: trying to consolidate and buy up one another, and so

1640
01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:33,439
Speaker 2: there's a lot of federal government oversight of that and

1641
01:27:33,479 --> 01:27:39,240
Speaker 2: all of that stuff. Anyway, CBS News and sixty Minutes specifically,

1642
01:27:39,280 --> 01:27:43,919
Speaker 2: we're about to run a big expose on President Trump's

1643
01:27:43,920 --> 01:27:49,040
Speaker 2: decision to partner with El Salvatore on deporting criminal illegal aliens,

1644
01:27:49,920 --> 01:27:53,880
Speaker 2: citing the need for more reporting and better balance. Barry

1645
01:27:53,880 --> 01:28:00,400
Speaker 2: Weiss stepped in and said, we're not airing this now.

1646
01:28:01,120 --> 01:28:09,480
Speaker 2: On the left, sixty minutes is church. It is unquestioned,

1647
01:28:09,920 --> 01:28:13,120
Speaker 2: the haughty Scott, Pelly, Leslie Stall, the whole lot of them.

1648
01:28:13,320 --> 01:28:16,240
Speaker 2: If it comes from sixty minutes, it's the gospel. So

1649
01:28:16,320 --> 01:28:18,479
Speaker 2: now that Barry Wise is in charge, she's gone in

1650
01:28:18,520 --> 01:28:23,200
Speaker 2: there and she's kicked down some of these sacred shrines

1651
01:28:23,360 --> 01:28:25,680
Speaker 2: of journalism and said, no, we're not just going to

1652
01:28:25,760 --> 01:28:28,600
Speaker 2: air it because it's sixty minutes. I want to see it.

1653
01:28:28,640 --> 01:28:32,200
Speaker 2: So she saw it, and she said, I've watched sixty

1654
01:28:32,200 --> 01:28:37,160
Speaker 2: Minutes and CBS News practical application of standards and practices

1655
01:28:37,240 --> 01:28:41,479
Speaker 2: for decades. She issued a statement that said, our story

1656
01:28:41,560 --> 01:28:45,920
Speaker 2: was screened five times. Miss Weiss said in a statement Sunday,

1657
01:28:45,960 --> 01:28:47,640
Speaker 2: my job is to make sure that all stories we

1658
01:28:47,680 --> 01:28:50,439
Speaker 2: publish are the best they can be. Holding stories that

1659
01:28:50,439 --> 01:28:54,479
Speaker 2: aren't ready for whatever reason, that they lack sufficient contexts say,

1660
01:28:54,640 --> 01:28:57,679
Speaker 2: or that they are missing critical voices happens every day

1661
01:28:57,680 --> 01:29:00,679
Speaker 2: and every newsroom. I look forward to airing this important

1662
01:29:00,680 --> 01:29:06,479
Speaker 2: piece when it's ready. Reading this from hot air our

1663
01:29:06,720 --> 01:29:09,280
Speaker 2: friends there. It turns out Wiss takes the title of

1664
01:29:09,400 --> 01:29:12,120
Speaker 2: editor in chief seriously. She reviewed the segment earlier in

1665
01:29:12,120 --> 01:29:15,640
Speaker 2: the week and determined that the reporting was incomplete and

1666
01:29:15,720 --> 01:29:19,320
Speaker 2: didn't give enough context on the administration's policies and decisions

1667
01:29:20,000 --> 01:29:25,599
Speaker 2: related to this deportation. So apparently the producers didn't make

1668
01:29:25,640 --> 01:29:28,840
Speaker 2: the changes necessary for Wise to approve it for air.

1669
01:29:29,600 --> 01:29:32,040
Speaker 2: So when she saw the final segment on Thursday of

1670
01:29:32,120 --> 01:29:35,240
Speaker 2: last week, she raised numerous concerns to sixty minutes producers

1671
01:29:35,400 --> 01:29:39,160
Speaker 2: about the segment, and she asked for a significant amount

1672
01:29:39,160 --> 01:29:42,520
Speaker 2: of new material to be added. One of her suggestions

1673
01:29:42,560 --> 01:29:45,439
Speaker 2: was to include a fresh interview with Stephen Miller. This

1674
01:29:45,520 --> 01:29:49,200
Speaker 2: piece included no interviews with Trump officials, by the way,

1675
01:29:50,600 --> 01:29:52,519
Speaker 2: so the woman that put it together at sixty minutes.

1676
01:29:52,560 --> 01:29:55,400
Speaker 2: Alfonsie is her name, Sharon Alfonsie. She said, this was journalism.

1677
01:29:55,520 --> 01:29:58,320
Speaker 2: It was perfect, and screw you Berry Wise. Why this

1678
01:29:58,400 --> 01:30:01,719
Speaker 2: woman still has a job. This Barry Barry wife should

1679
01:30:01,760 --> 01:30:04,599
Speaker 2: fire this Alfonsi woman's butt, as far as I'm concerned

1680
01:30:04,760 --> 01:30:08,519
Speaker 2: moren a minute. You know that relative that just won't

1681
01:30:08,560 --> 01:30:11,519
Speaker 2: go home, You know they've been visiting and it's nice,

1682
01:30:11,560 --> 01:30:14,920
Speaker 2: it's been Christmasmas and now it's time to go. That's

1683
01:30:15,000 --> 01:30:17,559
Speaker 2: kind of how we're all feeling this morning. Not going

1686
01:30:23,080 --> 01:30:25,720
Speaker 2: This will be our final broadcast, mercifully. We're taking it

1687
01:30:25,760 --> 01:30:27,680
Speaker 2: out behind the barn and hitting it over the head

1688
01:30:27,720 --> 01:30:29,639
Speaker 2: with a shovel as soon as we're done with today's show.

1689
01:30:30,760 --> 01:30:33,360

Speaker 2: you to be a part of it. As we wrap up.

1691
01:30:35,680 --> 01:30:37,320
Speaker 2: I do want to tell you to make sure you

1692
01:30:37,400 --> 01:30:39,479
Speaker 2: stay close to the podcast. I did get a nice note.

1693
01:30:39,520 --> 01:30:41,320
Speaker 2: I will say this. I got a very nice note

1694
01:30:41,360 --> 01:30:45,160
Speaker 2: from George and he said, and I appreciated the note.

1695
01:30:45,200 --> 01:30:47,559
Speaker 2: He acknowledges the fact that a lot of other shows,

1696
01:30:47,920 --> 01:30:50,080
Speaker 2: they just phone it in and they wouldn't show up

1697
01:30:50,080 --> 01:30:52,920
Speaker 2: and do work. And to that, I say, they're far

1698
01:30:53,000 --> 01:30:58,519
Speaker 2: smarter than us. But George said, and I quote Chris,

1699
01:30:58,600 --> 01:31:01,040
Speaker 2: I work in a car dealership and this week and

1700
01:31:01,080 --> 01:31:03,360
Speaker 2: next week are gonna be busy and they're gonna be difficult.

1701
01:31:03,360 --> 01:31:05,080
Speaker 2: And I want to thank you for making things more

1702
01:31:05,160 --> 01:31:08,320
Speaker 2: normal for me by working more this time of year

1703
01:31:08,400 --> 01:31:11,120
Speaker 2: while others are not. It helps me a lot. That's

1704
01:31:11,200 --> 01:31:15,320
Speaker 2: George and Levittown fast Eddie. So there you go. We're

1705
01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:20,240
Speaker 2: working for guys like George while other shows are enjoying

1706
01:31:21,160 --> 01:31:23,200
Speaker 2: not butting their heads against the wall the way we

1707
01:31:23,240 --> 01:31:25,400
Speaker 2: are this morning. So you're welcome, George.

1708
01:31:26,680 --> 01:31:29,320
Speaker 6: Thank you. George.

1709
01:31:32,960 --> 01:31:35,800
Speaker 2: That didn't sound very sincere ed. You're gonna sound a

1710
01:31:35,840 --> 01:31:38,840
Speaker 2: little warmer. Yeah, all right. We're supposed to talk with

1711
01:31:38,880 --> 01:31:40,240
Speaker 2: Steve more in a bit. Are we're gonna be able

1712
01:31:40,240 --> 01:31:42,760
Speaker 2: to arrange that? And do we think or ye'ry. We

1713
01:31:42,800 --> 01:31:45,479
Speaker 2: don't know, so we still don't have them yet. That's okay,

1714
01:31:46,080 --> 01:31:47,880
Speaker 2: I tell you what. Well, we try to get Steve

1715
01:31:47,920 --> 01:31:50,320
Speaker 2: Moore squared away. We're having some technical issues. I mean,

1716
01:31:50,320 --> 01:31:53,800
Speaker 2: it's literally it's been hilarious because it's like this year,

1717
01:31:54,439 --> 01:31:58,479
Speaker 2: everything that is technical, all the equipment has effectively said,

1718
01:31:59,520 --> 01:32:02,759
Speaker 2: we phone to be in. We're done. Like the equipment

1719
01:32:02,760 --> 01:32:05,479
Speaker 2: on the show did not get the memo. So while

1720
01:32:05,479 --> 01:32:08,000
Speaker 2: we all showed up, the equipment did not. Let's go

1721
01:32:08,040 --> 01:32:12,320
Speaker 2: to what year would be complete without hearing from Hunter Biden.

1722
01:32:13,160 --> 01:32:15,759
Speaker 2: Hunter Biden has surfaced and he's given a new interview

1723
01:32:16,520 --> 01:32:20,280
Speaker 2: and he's talked about everything from immigration to Afghanistan and

1724
01:32:20,360 --> 01:32:23,080
Speaker 2: his laptop in no particular order. Give me number seventy

1725
01:32:23,080 --> 01:32:24,040
Speaker 2: two here, Paully.

1726
01:32:26,880 --> 01:32:31,000
Speaker 12: And he had mistakes, like every other president said some

1727
01:32:31,120 --> 01:32:34,400
Speaker 12: that I may disagree with, but absolutely one had some

1728
01:32:34,479 --> 01:32:37,360
Speaker 12: real failures. Also, what do you think some of those

1729
01:32:37,400 --> 01:32:40,000
Speaker 12: failures were. I think the failure one of the failures

1730
01:32:40,080 --> 01:32:43,520
Speaker 12: was the way in which they executed the Withtrawal from Afghanistan.

1731
01:32:43,800 --> 01:32:46,440
Speaker 12: I think it was an obvious failure. I think thirteen

1732
01:32:47,680 --> 01:32:51,160
Speaker 12: Marines are dead. I think that there was a better

1733
01:32:51,200 --> 01:32:54,880
Speaker 12: way to do it. And I think that and I

1734
01:32:54,880 --> 01:32:56,560
Speaker 12: can blame it on his generals. I can blame it

1735
01:32:56,600 --> 01:32:58,240
Speaker 12: on the people the way in which we did it.

1736
01:32:58,240 --> 01:33:00,600
Speaker 12: But my dad always knew this. Also is that the

1737
01:33:00,600 --> 01:33:03,080
Speaker 12: buck stops with him. I think that that was a failure.

1738
01:33:06,120 --> 01:33:09,800
Speaker 2: Well, okay, I guess we agree with Hunter on that.

1739
01:33:09,960 --> 01:33:14,160
Speaker 2: How about illegal aliens breaking into the country. Here's Hunter

1740
01:33:14,240 --> 01:33:15,720
Speaker 2: on that issue number seventy three.

1741
01:33:17,479 --> 01:33:20,320
Speaker 12: But we don't want immigrants that are coming here illegally

1742
01:33:21,160 --> 01:33:27,639
Speaker 12: draining us of resources and also in being prioritized above

1743
01:33:28,720 --> 01:33:31,519
Speaker 12: people that are actual literal heroes that are coming home,

1744
01:33:31,800 --> 01:33:38,679
Speaker 12: that are still recovering from twenty twenty years of endless war,

1745
01:33:39,600 --> 01:33:43,360
Speaker 12: or anybody else in our society.

1746
01:33:43,840 --> 01:33:46,760
Speaker 2: Steve Moore is our chief economist. He joins us from

1747
01:33:46,760 --> 01:33:48,960
Speaker 2: the committee to in leash prosperity. Steve, O, Merry Christmas.

1748
01:33:49,000 --> 01:33:51,840
Speaker 2: How about Hunter Biden. I don't know this Christmas. He's

1749
01:33:51,880 --> 01:33:56,840
Speaker 2: decided to unload on Dad and he said, yeah, we

1750
01:33:56,920 --> 01:33:59,360
Speaker 2: screwed up our withdrawal from Afghanistan, and we shouldn't have

1751
01:33:59,360 --> 01:34:01,880
Speaker 2: all these illegal breaking into the country draining our resources.

1752
01:34:01,880 --> 01:34:02,640
Speaker 2: Good morning, Steve, O.

1753
01:34:03,960 --> 01:34:06,360
Speaker 4: Hi, Chritits. Well, but merry Christmas, my friend. By you,

1754
01:34:06,360 --> 01:34:10,920
Speaker 4: you're the hardest working person in Hollywood. So listen. I mean,

1755
01:34:11,720 --> 01:34:13,880
Speaker 4: I just want to be through with the Bidens, don't you.

1756
01:34:14,000 --> 01:34:15,920
Speaker 4: I want to be done with the Biden's. I want

1757
01:34:15,960 --> 01:34:17,920
Speaker 4: to be done with the Clintons. I mean, go away.

1758
01:34:18,000 --> 01:34:21,160
Speaker 4: You've done enough damage to our country. By the way,

1759
01:34:21,160 --> 01:34:24,080
Speaker 4: we still have the remnants of Obama with Obama Care,

1760
01:34:24,120 --> 01:34:27,000
Speaker 4: which is blowing up our healthcare system. So I don't

1761
01:34:27,000 --> 01:34:29,599
Speaker 4: want these people around, not for nothing.

1762
01:34:29,680 --> 01:34:31,600
Speaker 2: And this really does anything to do with economics. But

1763
01:34:31,640 --> 01:34:33,439
Speaker 2: I will ask you this because I made the point earlier.

1764
01:34:34,840 --> 01:34:37,360
Speaker 2: Donald Trump yesterday was asked about this Epstein stuff again

1765
01:34:37,880 --> 01:34:40,479
Speaker 2: and specifically that Clinton was showing up in the photos

1766
01:34:40,479 --> 01:34:42,280
Speaker 2: and stuff, and I said, you know, this shows the

1767
01:34:42,360 --> 01:34:45,040
Speaker 2: humanity of Trump. He doesn't get credit for it very often,

1768
01:34:45,520 --> 01:34:48,879
Speaker 2: but he deserves it. The Clinton's no friends of his anymore.

1769
01:34:48,920 --> 01:34:51,040
Speaker 2: They used to be. Maybe he doesn't feel as badly

1770
01:34:51,040 --> 01:34:54,639
Speaker 2: about Bill as he does Hillary. But nevertheless, he said

1771
01:34:55,240 --> 01:34:58,760
Speaker 2: of Bill and others, it was very clear what he's

1772
01:34:58,800 --> 01:35:01,000
Speaker 2: always said about the Epstein. There are a lot of

1773
01:35:01,040 --> 01:35:03,519
Speaker 2: people caught up in photos with this guy that don't

1774
01:35:03,520 --> 01:35:05,519
Speaker 2: have anything to do with the sex or anything elicted

1775
01:35:05,600 --> 01:35:08,720
Speaker 2: or illegal. He was friends with lots of people, including me.

1776
01:35:08,880 --> 01:35:11,840
Speaker 2: Trump said, I got kicked him out of mar A Lago,

1777
01:35:12,360 --> 01:35:15,160
Speaker 2: and I just don't I don't want for innocent people

1778
01:35:15,200 --> 01:35:17,360
Speaker 2: who happened to befriend this guy at some point in

1779
01:35:17,479 --> 01:35:19,280
Speaker 2: history now to be dragged through the mud like me.

1780
01:35:19,360 --> 01:35:23,360
Speaker 2: It's like Trump's kind of this constant. He absorbs all

1781
01:35:23,400 --> 01:35:25,920
Speaker 2: the bullets and the slings and arrows, but he genuinely

1782
01:35:25,960 --> 01:35:28,800
Speaker 2: doesn't want it for everyone else, and he tries to

1783
01:35:28,880 --> 01:35:30,120
Speaker 2: keep it from people if he can.

1784
01:35:30,240 --> 01:35:33,960
Speaker 4: I think, look, I've gotten to know Trump very well

1785
01:35:34,000 --> 01:35:37,160
Speaker 4: over the last eight years, and you know, he is

1786
01:35:37,400 --> 01:35:39,880
Speaker 4: he is a good man. He's you know, and by

1787
01:35:39,920 --> 01:35:41,840
Speaker 4: the way, he's a flawed man. We're all flawed. He

1788
01:35:41,920 --> 01:35:44,680
Speaker 4: has just plaus but you know, he is just. In

1789
01:35:44,760 --> 01:35:47,559
Speaker 4: terms of my own relationship with Trump, even when I

1790
01:35:47,680 --> 01:35:50,160
Speaker 4: was completely under fire, you know, you may recall what

1791
01:35:50,280 --> 01:35:52,360
Speaker 4: I was dominated to be on the thunder Reserve port.

1792
01:35:52,439 --> 01:35:54,960
Speaker 4: I mean, the bullets and the arrows were you know,

1793
01:35:55,120 --> 01:35:58,200
Speaker 4: flung right into my back, and you know, most most

1794
01:35:58,240 --> 01:36:01,600
Speaker 4: people would have basically just you know, most presidents or

1795
01:36:01,640 --> 01:36:04,400
Speaker 4: CEOs would have just you know, thrown me under the bus.

1796
01:36:04,439 --> 01:36:06,120
Speaker 4: And I wouldn't have even blamed him for doing that

1797
01:36:06,160 --> 01:36:08,040
Speaker 4: because I called him. I said, look, I don't want,

1798
01:36:08,240 --> 01:36:11,120
Speaker 4: you know, the skeletons in my closet to be, you know,

1799
01:36:11,240 --> 01:36:14,280
Speaker 4: to besmirch you in any way. And he stuck with

1800
01:36:14,320 --> 01:36:17,000
Speaker 4: me the whole way, and even when I resigned. He said,

1801
01:36:17,280 --> 01:36:19,559
Speaker 4: you know, he said, you know, Steve, if you enhance

1802
01:36:19,640 --> 01:36:22,559
Speaker 4: your reputation, I mean, he's a good man. And look,

1803
01:36:22,840 --> 01:36:25,040
Speaker 4: as I said, I don't always You know this, Chris,

1804
01:36:25,040 --> 01:36:26,600
Speaker 4: and we've been doing this together for five years. I

1805
01:36:26,640 --> 01:36:30,320
Speaker 4: don't always agree with everything Trump does, but I always

1806
01:36:30,439 --> 01:36:32,360
Speaker 4: every time I was with him and he made a

1807
01:36:32,400 --> 01:36:36,280
Speaker 4: decision that I disagreed with, and that was not very often,

1808
01:36:36,760 --> 01:36:38,720
Speaker 4: I always believe in my heart he was doing it

1809
01:36:38,720 --> 01:36:40,639
Speaker 4: because he loves his country and he wants to put

1810
01:36:40,680 --> 01:36:41,360
Speaker 4: America first.

1811
01:36:42,400 --> 01:36:46,759
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, and you economists, yeah, he does. And that's

1812
01:36:46,920 --> 01:36:49,880
Speaker 2: that's that's been his mo the entire time. And that's

1813
01:36:49,880 --> 01:36:51,400
Speaker 2: why I think, and I know you disagree on this

1814
01:36:51,479 --> 01:36:54,639
Speaker 2: tariff thing, but I made the case that you know, Gorst,

1815
01:36:54,680 --> 01:36:58,840
Speaker 2: you asked about embargoing presidents can do that unilatter Leon Howard,

1816
01:36:58,840 --> 01:37:01,280
Speaker 2: Tariff's much different than in arguing by one percent or

1817
01:37:01,280 --> 01:37:02,720
Speaker 2: two percent here there, and I thought it was a

1818
01:37:02,720 --> 01:37:06,000
Speaker 2: really interesting argument. Best, by the way, is out there

1819
01:37:07,200 --> 01:37:10,439
Speaker 2: pretty regularly now giving interviews, he and Lutnik saying what

1820
01:37:10,479 --> 01:37:13,080
Speaker 2: they hear coming out of the Supreme Court sounds very positive. Now,

1821
01:37:13,080 --> 01:37:15,360
Speaker 2: I don't know if they're just wearing that publicly because

1822
01:37:15,360 --> 01:37:17,600
Speaker 2: that's what they hope, or if they genuinely believe the

1823
01:37:17,600 --> 01:37:19,759
Speaker 2: Supreme Court's about the side with them. On tariffs.

1824
01:37:20,840 --> 01:37:23,479
Speaker 4: Well, look, I've said on your show and others, I

1825
01:37:23,479 --> 01:37:26,400
Speaker 4: think Trump will lose, at least inpowered on some of

1826
01:37:26,400 --> 01:37:29,920
Speaker 4: these tariffs that he's imposed. That the Supreme Court may

1827
01:37:29,960 --> 01:37:31,840
Speaker 4: allow some of the terrorists to stay out of some

1828
01:37:31,920 --> 01:37:36,479
Speaker 4: of the others, to require others to be repealed. It's

1829
01:37:36,479 --> 01:37:38,599
Speaker 4: going to be a god awful mess when this Supreme

1830
01:37:38,640 --> 01:37:41,880
Speaker 4: Court decision comes down one way or the other. But

1831
01:37:42,200 --> 01:37:44,800
Speaker 4: I do think Trump will lose on some of it

1832
01:37:44,840 --> 01:37:49,799
Speaker 4: because I mean, I'm a strict constitutionalist, and the language

1833
01:37:49,800 --> 01:37:52,559
Speaker 4: of the Constitution is pretty clear. The taxes start in

1834
01:37:52,600 --> 01:37:55,720
Speaker 4: the House of Representatives. That's Article one, section five of

1835
01:37:55,800 --> 01:37:59,720
Speaker 4: the Constitution. The issue is whether that Trump can use

1836
01:37:59,800 --> 01:38:05,439
Speaker 4: now security as a means to impose these terrorists. And

1837
01:38:05,439 --> 01:38:08,000
Speaker 4: we'll see what the you know, I'm not a lawyer.

1838
01:38:08,040 --> 01:38:10,720
Speaker 4: We'll see what the Supreme Court decides. But one way

1839
01:38:10,800 --> 01:38:12,920
Speaker 4: or the other, I have to say, as someone who's

1840
01:38:12,960 --> 01:38:14,840
Speaker 4: not a big fan of terrorist as I've said many

1841
01:38:14,920 --> 01:38:18,000
Speaker 4: times on your show, some of the trade deals, many

1842
01:38:18,000 --> 01:38:20,400
Speaker 4: of the trade deals that he's been able to negotiate

1843
01:38:20,439 --> 01:38:23,919
Speaker 4: have been fantastic. We're talking about well over a trillion

1844
01:38:24,000 --> 01:38:26,840
Speaker 4: dollars of foreign investment coming into the United States. Now

1845
01:38:26,880 --> 01:38:29,439
Speaker 4: Trump says eight Trillly. I don't know if it's a trillion,

1846
01:38:29,640 --> 01:38:31,800
Speaker 4: but even if it's only one trilie, I mean, one

1847
01:38:31,840 --> 01:38:33,200
Speaker 4: trillion is a lot of money.

1848
01:38:34,200 --> 01:38:36,759
Speaker 2: The Wall Street Journal to that point, just this week

1849
01:38:36,880 --> 01:38:41,479
Speaker 2: wrote an interesting story about the welfare state in the country.

1850
01:38:41,760 --> 01:38:44,800
Speaker 2: They put total federal welfare spending at one point four

1851
01:38:44,880 --> 01:38:49,679
Speaker 2: trillion dollars annually, one point four trillion dollars, and they

1852
01:38:49,720 --> 01:38:53,840
Speaker 2: said that if you this math, it was staggering. There

1853
01:38:53,840 --> 01:38:59,680
Speaker 2: are nineteen point eight million homes identified as poverty or

1854
01:39:00,240 --> 01:39:03,519
Speaker 2: poverty in this contry. And so you take that one

1855
01:39:03,520 --> 01:39:06,799
Speaker 2: point for trillion dollars and spread it out over nineteen

1856
01:39:06,840 --> 01:39:10,759
Speaker 2: point eight million homes. That's seventy grand per home.

1857
01:39:10,920 --> 01:39:14,479
Speaker 4: Exactly, Steve. So where does all the money go? I mean?

1858
01:39:14,520 --> 01:39:17,400
Speaker 4: And yet we still have what thirty million people in poverty.

1859
01:39:17,720 --> 01:39:21,400
Speaker 4: So whatever we're doing in Washington isn't pulling up people

1860
01:39:21,439 --> 01:39:24,040
Speaker 4: out of poverty. Is not working. And you look, this

1861
01:39:24,160 --> 01:39:27,480
Speaker 4: is very simple, folks. I'm just a simple minded. The economists.

1862
01:39:27,720 --> 01:39:30,040
Speaker 4: The best way to pull poverty people out of poverty,

1863
01:39:30,080 --> 01:39:31,679
Speaker 4: you know how. The best way to do it get

1864
01:39:31,680 --> 01:39:34,559
Speaker 4: them a job. You want to get out of poverty,

1865
01:39:34,600 --> 01:39:37,959
Speaker 4: get a job, start working, start rising the economic ladder,

1866
01:39:38,080 --> 01:39:40,160
Speaker 4: you know. I mean, we've got immigrants who come into

1867
01:39:40,160 --> 01:39:42,040
Speaker 4: this country and within a couple of weeks they've got

1868
01:39:42,080 --> 01:39:44,640
Speaker 4: a job and they rise up the economic ladder. The

1869
01:39:44,680 --> 01:39:47,240
Speaker 4: worst thing you can do is pay people not to work,

1870
01:39:47,280 --> 01:39:49,519
Speaker 4: and that's what we do in welfare. We pay people

1871
01:39:49,600 --> 01:39:51,759
Speaker 4: not to work, and guess what, they don't work.

1872
01:39:53,360 --> 01:39:56,840
Speaker 2: This NGO stuff, the funneling of money, it feels like

1873
01:39:56,960 --> 01:39:59,519
Speaker 2: much of Washington is really just a lot of money laundering.

1874
01:39:59,560 --> 01:40:01,519
Speaker 2: Steve O. That's what I feel like we've discovered this

1875
01:40:01,640 --> 01:40:04,880
Speaker 2: year with those and other entities. Yes, Marco Rubio and

1876
01:40:04,920 --> 01:40:08,479
Speaker 2: his findings with NGOs OVERDPA and Lee Zelden, it's a

1877
01:40:08,560 --> 01:40:11,879
Speaker 2: lot of money laundering posed his government outreach.

1878
01:40:12,000 --> 01:40:14,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, it is. And one of the things that

1879
01:40:14,439 --> 01:40:17,920
Speaker 4: I find so frustrating as someone who's been involved in

1880
01:40:17,920 --> 01:40:20,040
Speaker 4: this fight of what we do with Obamacare. You know,

1881
01:40:20,320 --> 01:40:22,160
Speaker 4: I think we should do with Obama terriers, blow the

1882
01:40:22,200 --> 01:40:24,000
Speaker 4: whole thing up and get rid of it. It's been

1883
01:40:24,040 --> 01:40:29,080
Speaker 4: a complete disaster. But just two weeks after the government's

1884
01:40:29,160 --> 01:40:33,160
Speaker 4: own auditors, Chris not the Heritage Foundation, not American the

1885
01:40:33,200 --> 01:40:37,479
Speaker 4: government's own auditors, said almost one hundred billion dollars has

1886
01:40:37,520 --> 01:40:41,720
Speaker 4: been stolen from these programs through fraud. The Democrats, every

1887
01:40:41,720 --> 01:40:45,320
Speaker 4: single Democrat, said, stay the course, let's keep just pouring

1888
01:40:45,360 --> 01:40:48,200
Speaker 4: more money into this leaky bucket. I mean, how stupid

1889
01:40:48,320 --> 01:40:50,720
Speaker 4: is that? And they act as if this is just

1890
01:40:50,760 --> 01:40:53,320
Speaker 4: a cost of doing business. The fraud rates of these

1891
01:40:53,320 --> 01:40:57,240
Speaker 4: programs can be ten to fifteen to twenty percent. I

1892
01:40:57,400 --> 01:40:59,160
Speaker 4: called up some of the banks and some of the

1893
01:40:59,200 --> 01:41:03,000
Speaker 4: insurance companies, what's your fraud rate? And the private sector

1894
01:41:03,040 --> 01:41:05,120
Speaker 4: of the fraud rate is about two or three percent.

1895
01:41:05,479 --> 01:41:08,280
Speaker 4: If they had five percent fraud, they be out of business.

1896
01:41:08,320 --> 01:41:10,160
Speaker 4: And we have ten and fifteen percent for aud in

1897
01:41:10,200 --> 01:41:11,160
Speaker 4: the federal agency.

1898
01:41:12,840 --> 01:41:14,960
Speaker 2: Steve Moore is our chief economist. So here we go,

1899
01:41:15,040 --> 01:41:17,120
Speaker 2: with about a minute left to go, Steve, let me

1900
01:41:17,120 --> 01:41:19,080
Speaker 2: ask you, this is we close this year up. This

1901
01:41:19,120 --> 01:41:21,240
Speaker 2: will be our final conversation for twenty twenty five and

1902
01:41:21,280 --> 01:41:25,639
Speaker 2: head into twenty twenty six. Give me Steve Moore's fiscal predictions.

1903
01:41:26,400 --> 01:41:29,000
Speaker 4: I think that we're going to see a booming economy.

1904
01:41:29,040 --> 01:41:31,240
Speaker 4: I think we're going to see four percent economics both.

1905
01:41:31,280 --> 01:41:34,519
Speaker 4: I think we're going to see the deficits start to

1906
01:41:34,560 --> 01:41:37,160
Speaker 4: fall because the best way to reduce the deficits grow

1907
01:41:37,240 --> 01:41:39,800
Speaker 4: the economy, get people back into work. I think you're

1908
01:41:39,840 --> 01:41:43,040
Speaker 4: going to see inflation, ready for this, Chris, fall below

1909
01:41:43,120 --> 01:41:47,679
Speaker 4: the two percent target, and we're going to see oil

1910
01:41:47,920 --> 01:41:51,240
Speaker 4: and gas prices around the country go down to as

1911
01:41:51,280 --> 01:41:53,599
Speaker 4: low as two dollars and fifty cents a gallon.

1912
01:41:54,400 --> 01:41:57,240
Speaker 2: Wow, it's two twenty nine by the way near my house.

1913
01:41:57,320 --> 01:42:02,559
Speaker 2: I stay, well, yeah, Steve, for you, so, like hey,

1914
01:42:02,680 --> 01:42:05,400
Speaker 2: very quickly, like ten seconds. Who do you think is

1915
01:42:05,400 --> 01:42:06,280
Speaker 2: going to be the FED Chair?

1916
01:42:07,600 --> 01:42:07,800
Speaker 1: Oh?

1917
01:42:07,920 --> 01:42:11,200
Speaker 4: I'm going to go with Kevin Hassett, my good friend Kevin.

1918
01:42:11,280 --> 01:42:12,080
Speaker 2: I like both Kevins.

1919
01:42:12,080 --> 01:42:14,840
Speaker 4: They're both fantastic and they are going to make the

1920
01:42:14,880 --> 01:42:15,719
Speaker 4: dollar great again.

1921
01:42:16,520 --> 01:42:18,839
Speaker 2: Kevin Hassett the new FED Chair. You heard the predictions

1922
01:42:18,840 --> 01:42:21,879
Speaker 2: from Steve Moore, our chief economist, Steve O. Merry Christmas,

1923
01:42:21,880 --> 01:42:23,560
Speaker 2: Happy New Year. Thanks for everything you do for the

1924
01:42:23,600 --> 01:42:24,479
Speaker 2: show all year long.

1925
01:42:24,920 --> 01:42:27,559
Speaker 4: Yeah. That's a great country, isn't it it is.

1926
01:42:27,800 --> 01:42:30,080
Speaker 2: We're glad for you and grateful for you. Have a

1927
01:42:30,080 --> 01:42:32,000
Speaker 2: good year. Yeah, a good new year, and we will

1928
01:42:32,040 --> 01:42:33,519
Speaker 2: see you in the new year in twenty twenty six.

1929
01:42:33,560 --> 01:42:37,120
Speaker 2: Stevo Merry Christmas, Quick break more. In a moment on

1930
01:42:37,120 --> 01:42:42,080
Speaker 2: The Stagall Show on election integrity, Harmeat Dylan, the Assistant

1931
01:42:42,120 --> 01:42:45,679
Speaker 2: Attorney General for the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, will

1932
01:42:45,680 --> 01:42:47,640
Speaker 2: have her on in twenty twenty six. No doubt, she

1933
01:42:47,680 --> 01:42:51,840
Speaker 2: says lawsuits are coming. She's bringing them both against both

1934
01:42:51,960 --> 01:42:55,960
Speaker 2: red and blue states over voter list maintenance that she

1935
01:42:56,040 --> 01:42:58,439
Speaker 2: says will help clean voter rolls for the twenty twenty

1936
01:42:58,439 --> 01:43:02,040
Speaker 2: six mid terms. With congressional elections coming next year. The

1937
01:43:02,080 --> 01:43:05,280
Speaker 2: DOJ said they're trying to ensure that only eligible voters

1938
01:43:05,280 --> 01:43:07,760
Speaker 2: are on state's voter roles, and while some states have

1939
01:43:07,840 --> 01:43:12,320
Speaker 2: voluntarily complied with DOJ's requests for the voter registration data

1940
01:43:12,800 --> 01:43:16,560
Speaker 2: or are cleaning the voter roles themselves, others are refusing

1941
01:43:16,600 --> 01:43:21,240
Speaker 2: to hand over the information citing privacy concerns. It's good

1942
01:43:21,680 --> 01:43:25,160
Speaker 2: har Meet, who was a front runner to run the

1943
01:43:25,200 --> 01:43:28,880
Speaker 2: Republican Party at one point, is now at DOJ in

1944
01:43:28,920 --> 01:43:31,439
Speaker 2: the Civil Rights Division, and she's saying, hand it over

1945
01:43:31,560 --> 01:43:33,080
Speaker 2: or we're going to sue you. We want to make

1946
01:43:33,120 --> 01:43:35,640
Speaker 2: sure only legal people are voting in your state. I

1947
01:43:35,720 --> 01:43:40,000
Speaker 2: love that. Meanwhile, over at the Federalist Ohio, you people

1948
01:43:40,040 --> 01:43:44,960
Speaker 2: in Ohio the major win for integrity of Ohio's elections.

1949
01:43:45,000 --> 01:43:49,240
Speaker 2: Mike DeWine signed legislation that requires all mail in ballots

1950
01:43:49,280 --> 01:43:53,479
Speaker 2: to be received by election day. It seems ridiculous that

1951
01:43:53,520 --> 01:43:55,920
Speaker 2: we're even having the conversation, but that's something that had

1952
01:43:55,920 --> 01:43:59,120
Speaker 2: to be signed into law. All mail in ballots to

1953
01:43:59,200 --> 01:44:02,519
Speaker 2: be counted, be received by election day. That's now law

1954
01:44:02,560 --> 01:44:05,640
Speaker 2: of the land in Ohio. As for down in Jojia,

1955
01:44:05,920 --> 01:44:11,400
Speaker 2: this raffinsburger clown. Five years after the twenty twenty election,

1956
01:44:11,680 --> 01:44:16,040
Speaker 2: challenges in Georgia continued despite multiple audits. The latest question

1957
01:44:16,160 --> 01:44:20,000
Speaker 2: surrounding the December meeting of the Georgia State Election Board,

1958
01:44:20,000 --> 01:44:22,200
Speaker 2: where we played for you the attorney who admitted we

1959
01:44:22,240 --> 01:44:25,360
Speaker 2: certified over three hundred thousand ballots that we shouldn't have.

1960
01:44:27,280 --> 01:44:31,320
Speaker 2: Stunning admission. So three hundred thousand votes were certified that

1961
01:44:31,400 --> 01:44:35,400
Speaker 2: should not have been in Georgia's twenty twenty election. I

1962
01:44:35,439 --> 01:44:39,400
Speaker 2: remind you Joe Biden won Georgia in twenty twenty by

1963
01:44:39,560 --> 01:44:43,719
Speaker 2: eleven thousand votes, so in other words, it was stolen.

1964
01:44:44,160 --> 01:44:46,320
Speaker 2: There's just no question in my mind it was. It

1965
01:44:46,320 --> 01:44:49,360
Speaker 2: was an unconstitutional breach in places like Pennsylvania. There are

1966
01:44:49,400 --> 01:44:52,559
Speaker 2: many more instances in twenty twenty of chicanery than just Georgia,

1967
01:44:52,560 --> 01:44:58,000
Speaker 2: and just this I understand. But Brad Raffinsburger, the Secretary

1968
01:44:58,080 --> 01:45:00,600
Speaker 2: of State, says Georgia has the most secure elections in

1969
01:45:00,640 --> 01:45:03,320
Speaker 2: the country and all voters were verified with vhoter ID

1970
01:45:03,479 --> 01:45:06,000
Speaker 2: and lawfully cast their ballots. A clerical error at the

1971
01:45:06,080 --> 01:45:08,559
Speaker 2: end of the day does not erase valid legal votes.

1972
01:45:09,600 --> 01:45:13,679
Speaker 2: So that is the Secretary of State and Georgia, Brad

1973
01:45:13,760 --> 01:45:16,800
