Speaker 1: of lists. Lance always says he likes a list. I

00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: got a couple of lists. I'm gonna do that, And

15
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,600

00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: of the Union last night. And then Todd cheats, who

19
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: was interesting guy. He's an author, he's an expert on finances,

20
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: he's an expert on matters economic. He's spent a lot

21
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: of time working in private investment banking, he's got a

22
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: got a book out called two thousand and eight What

00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: Really Happened Understanding a Great Financial Crisis. He's written an

24
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: interesting piece on the tariffs, so we'll talk to him

25
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: about tariffs. Look at Trump's speech from a economic standpoint

26
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: last night. So that's going on. Hopefully your phone calls

27
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: as well. Five point three seven, four nine, seven, one,

28
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: eight hundred, the Big one. But Russ, have you seen

29
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: the twenty six nominees for the Rock and Roll Hall

30
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 1: of Fame? Oh, for crocking out Loud? I mean, I

31
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: decided a long time ago that the Rock and Roll

32
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,119
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame was an absolute joke when you would

33
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: take a look in. Look, I've been there, very nice building,

34
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: but I mean they've made a mockery of what, to

35
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: my way of thinking of what the Rock and Roll

36
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame ought to really be about. Here's the

37
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: list of nominees for this year. To be eligible for

38
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: a nomination the art, the band or artist must have

39
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: released its first commercial recording at least twenty five years

40
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: before the year of the nomination. Does that apply to Pink? Russ?

41
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: Has Pink been around for twenty five years? Twenty five

42
00:02:52,080 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: years or more? That surprises me. The Black Crows band.

43
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: You could possibly make an argument for Jeff Buckley. I

44
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: probably should have looked some of these artists up before

45
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: I read their name. You talk to me about someone

46
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: named Jeff Buckley, I'm drawing a blank. Mariah Carey have

47
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: very talented. There's a lot of her songs that I like.

48
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,679
Speaker 1: Does she belong in the rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

49
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Phil Collins, I think you can

50
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: make an argument for Phil Collins. Melissa Ethridge again, and look,

51
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: I am not saying these artists are not talented or

52
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: great singers or great performers or any of that highly sucks.

53
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: They are all highly successful. But do they belong in

54
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: the rock and roll Hall of Fame? I'm just not

55
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: seeing it. Lauren Hill, don't know Billy Idol. Billy Idol

56
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: is a guy I could make an argument for. In Excess.

57
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know about you.

58
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 2: Russ.

59
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: In Excess sounds like one of those bands is kind

60
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: of on the bubble to me, right, like maybe one

61
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: of the last four out something like that. Iron Maiden,

62
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: I mean, and we had a lot of Russ says

63
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: yes to Iron Maiden but really when in the end,

64
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: weren't they just another big hair band from the nineteen

65
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: eighties maybe the nineties. I don't know, Joy Division, New Order,

66
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,559
Speaker 1: never heard of them, New Addition. Isn't that a boy band?

67
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: So Oasis? I think Oasis had a couple of big tunes,

68
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: did they really? Were they really that influential on the

69
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: whole genre of rock and roll? I don't think so.

70
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: Pink no Chardi. I'm a huge Sarda fan. I love

71
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: the smooth jazz, I love the I love the look,

72
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: I love the whole style. I could listen to Charday

73
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 1: sing all day long. The Chardet belong in the rock

74
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: and roll Hall of Fame, Sadly, I don't think so.

75
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: What about Shakira? Shakira great entertainer, highly talented Hall of

76
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:20,919
Speaker 1: Fame material? I don't know. Luther Vandross. I think you

77
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: can make an argument there isn't Luther Vandross really more

78
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: rhythm and blues though not really rock and roll? And

79
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: Wu Tang Clan Russ what's a song by Wu Tang Clan?

80
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: Do we have any Wu Tang clan in the system?

81
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: We do? Hey, can you give me about ten seconds

82
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 1: of some I can't. Maybe you find something to jog

83
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: my memory, but I really can't think of You got

84
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: to make sure it's clean. Do they put out stuff

85
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: that's not suitable for air? Oh Man? So yeah, Rock

86
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: and Roll Hall of Fame. I'm done with them, I

87
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: really am. And whoever gets in a guy bless you,

88
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: but I am. H. I guess it's I guess if

89
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 1: you're a fan, if you like their music, you can

90
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 1: go online. I saw a website today where it appeared

91
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: that you can go online and cast your ballot. I

92
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: really wasn't interested in him looking that deep into it.

93
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 1: Abigail Spamberger was the Democrat response to the State of

94
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: the Union last night, and Russ let's hear a little

95
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 1: bit from Abigail Spamberger, and let's hear cut number two

96
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: if we could please.

97
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 3: So I'll ask again, is the president working for you?

98
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 1: The answer is right there. The answer to that question

99
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: is yes. And this and this was the beginning of

100
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 1: her speech her so her entire speech was outdated. I

101
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: don't know when she recorded that. I don't know when

102
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: that spitech is that speech was written. But and I

103
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: heard Chuck Schumer, I don't know that I don't. Yeah,

104
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:54,799
Speaker 1: I did. I do have a cut of Chuck Schumer.

105
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play out later on. But I'm listening to

106
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: this speech last night from Spanberger, and I see Chuck

107
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: Schumer today, and I think I'm thinking to myself, the

108
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 1: strategy for the Democrats now is just to simply lie

109
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: and speak, speak non truths about Trump, about the Trump agenda,

110
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: about his policies, about what he's done for the country.

111
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: So she's asking these questions and she says, always Trump

112
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: working for you. Is Trump trying to make you safe?

113
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: And she says, of course the answer is no. But

114
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: of course the answer is yes. All right, roll the

115
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: rest of that cut, Russ, Roll the rest of that cut,

116
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: if you would cut to Aden Russ.

117
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 3: No answer is no. But here's the special thing about America.

118
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 3: On our two hundred and fiftieth anniversary, we know better

119
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 3: than any nation what is possible when ordinary citizens, like

120
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 3: those who once dreamed right here in this room, reject

121
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 3: the unacceptable and demand more of their government. We see

122
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 3: it in the determination of students organizing school walkouts all

123
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 3: across the country, whose voices are becoming so powerful that

124
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 3: the governor of Texas seeks to silence them. Oh, for

125
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 3: God's sake, we see it in the bravery of Americans

126
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 3: in Minnesota standing up for their communities, from peacefully protesting

127
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 3: in sub zero temperatures to carpooling children to school so

128
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 3: that their immigrant parents are not ripped away from them

129
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 3: in the parking lot. As a mother of three school

130
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 3: aged daughters, I am inspired by their bravery, but I

131
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 3: am sickened that it is necessary. And Americans across the

132
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 3: country are taking action. They are going to the ballot

133
00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:00,719
Speaker 3: box to reject this chaos. With their votes, they are

134
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:05,959
Speaker 3: writing a new story, a more hopeful story. In November,

135
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 3: I won my election by fifteen points.

136
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: So what It's all a bunch of mumbo jumbo. The

137
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: actions of Ice would not be necessary but for the

138
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: administration of Joe Biden that led in fifteen twenty twenty

139
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: five as maybe as many thirty million illegal aliens in

140
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 1: this country. And you should thank God that your school

141
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: age children are safe, Miss Spamberger, that they haven't been attacked,

142
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: that they haven't been raped, they haven't been murdered, that

143
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: they haven't been run over by an illegal alien driving

144
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: drunk the wrong way on the highway. You ought to

145
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: thank God for that. You ought to thank God that

146
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: Trump is here to get those kind of people out

147
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: of our country. You ought to thank Trump that there

148
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: is a likelihood now that is a lot lot less

149
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: than it was before that your school age children are

150
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 1: going to have the opportunity to ingest some fentomyl. And

151
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: so Abigail Spamburger, what's going on and on and on

152
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: asking about if Trump is trying to keep the country safe.

153
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: She talked about affordability. Is Trump trying to make things

154
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: more affordable for you? And this is another example of

155
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: how Democrats have absolutely no situational awareness whatsoever. And why

156
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: do I say that, because one of the things that

157
00:10:55,440 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 1: Abigail Spamburger wants to do is raise taxes in the

158
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: state of Virginia or the Commonwealth of Virginia. Excuse me,

159
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: And she started this from day one. Her and her

160
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: fellow Democrats have at least fifty new taxes or increased

161
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: taxes that they want to get through in this legislative session.

162
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 1: So she claims that the Democrats are the party of affordability,

163
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: but yet they've proposed more than fifty new taxes. They

164
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: proposed additional local sales taxes in every County in Virginia.

165
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: Their new taxes include a dog walking and grooming tax.

166
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: Do you need to get some counseling? They want a

167
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: new tax on that. What about guns and ammunition? They

168
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: want to increase and have new taxes on guns and ammo.

169
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: There is a new large employer tax. There are new

170
00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: income tax brackets, including one tax calls for ten percent

171
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: and another eight percent rate for high owners. There is

172
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: a three point eight percent tax that is being proposed

173
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:15,719
Speaker 1: on certain investment income. The Democrats have also proposed an

174
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 1: event tax, a new car tax, and highway user fees

175
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: state wide speed cameras. That's not a tax, but more

176
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: drivers will wind up getting fined. There's a tax for

177
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: storage facilities. There's a tax for dry cleaning, a new

178
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 1: tax for home repairs, a new tax for cleaning services,

179
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: a vehicle repair tax, a digital personal property tax. There's

180
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 1: a tax for streaming services. There's a new personal property

181
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: tax on electric leaf blowers and electric landscaping equipment. I

182
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,239
Speaker 1: guess they want you to have leaf blowers and landscape

183
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 1: and landscaping equipment that is maybe solar powered, or maybe

184
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: he has a windmill attached to it. I don't know.

185
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: There is a proposal for a four point three percent

186
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: tax on rideshare trips a one point nine additional in

187
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: northern Virginia. So this is a potential for a new

188
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: local sales tax. Also an increase in the hotel taxes

189
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: in Arlington. So here's Spanberger claiming to be this champion

190
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:38,599
Speaker 1: of the people, but yet she wants to coddle criminals,

191
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,079
Speaker 1: like a guy who was arrested in Norfolk, Virginia, Cheyenne Callaw.

192
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: He's been found guilty of rape, strong arm, sexual assault, sodomy,

193
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 1: sexual assault, sawdomy with a boy, strong arm sexual assault

194
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: in sawdomy of a girl. Or what about Abu Gibla

195
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: gb la assault, larceny, probation violation, kidnapping, kidnapping adults, violation

196
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: of a court order, aggravated assault on a police officer,

197
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: damaging property. These are the kind of people that Abigail

198
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: Spamberger is standing up for. Gerson pos Ramos Hainesville, Virginia,

199
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: arrested for drug trafficking. Abigail Spanburger is standing up for

200
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: a dude like that Rudy Velasko Reyes, Victoria, Virginia, asodomy

201
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: of a woman, strong arm, aggravated assault, sexual assault, rape.

202
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: So these are the people that Abigail, These are the

203
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: people that the woman who gave the Democratic response is

204
00:14:55,640 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: standing up for, and so they want to the Democrats

205
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: want to claim a woman like that as their champion.

206
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 1: Steven west Union, how are you doing tonight?

207
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:06,760

Speaker 1: A lot going on. I told you I had some lists.

00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 4: As for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I

212
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 4: think they ought to let everybody in and just list

213
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 4: their awards. That's a make it great, big, make it

00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 4: like daylent Land. Let everyboy go around there and see

00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 2: Award, listen.

217
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: So what I remember, you know, over the years they

218
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: used to maybe maybe it was a bigger deals every year.

219
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: I went there when the place first opened and it

220
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: was pretty cool, and I did some interviews with the

221
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: people who were running the place back then, and took

222
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: a tour and saw some some events that they.

223
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:48,600

00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 6: Now?

226
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 4: Everybody's doing that. Just put them all in there and

227
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 4: listen if they get an award. The thing is about

228
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 4: this spam Burger lady. The other day, I was listening

229
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 4: to the you know, the after the speech stuff, and

230
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 4: I remember her coming on and they said she was

231
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 4: a governor of Virginia.

232
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

233
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 4: But about ten days before that, I saw another interview

234
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 4: where they were saying how she was going to raise

235
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 4: taxes on I mean like almost fifty plus taxes different categories.

236
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 4: And when they went through it, I was like, are

237
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 4: you kidding me? The people of Virginia, They're going to

238
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 4: be outraged. And then she has the gall to get

239
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 4: up there and tell Trump that he's gonna raise taxes.

240
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 4: I've about lost my beverage.

241
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: Well, I just read I just read a partial list

242
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: of the taxes that they want to that they want

243
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: to increase in Virginia.

244
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 4: It's on everything you do.

245
00:16:55,320 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: You got the dog walking room tax, virginas storage. You

246
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,280

Speaker 1: a tax on that.

253
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 4: Hey, let's remind everybody in the whole world that politicians

254
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 4: make zero money. They have no money. I don't care

255
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 4: what they are. They get money from you, and they're

256
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 4: gonna get money from you any way they can when

257
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 4: they are depleted of funds because of ignorance, and they're

258
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:45,640
Speaker 4: just gonna.

259
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 2: Drive it up and up and up. And if you

00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 2: don't stand up and.

261
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 4: Say, you literally do your civil disobedience to say I'm

262
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 4: not paying your tax, I'm not doing this, I'm you know,

263
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 4: eventually it'll go away. But I am convinced, Danny, the

264
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 4: Democratic Party is once the most ignorant, dumb, air headed

265
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:17,479
Speaker 4: people in government leading so they can do autopid deep state.

266
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 4: Why would you want somebody smart up there in the

267
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 4: presidency when you could have an.

268
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,360
Speaker 2: Airhead like Kamala Harris.

269
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 4: And you could just go nuts behind her back.

270
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 1: Well, Steve, I appreciate the phone call. We got to run,

271
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 1: we got to get to news here at the bottom

272
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 1: of the hour, but I thank you very much for

273
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 1: your call. Now, Spamberger ran as a moderate Democrat, a

274
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 1: moderate Democrat, and then the moment, I mean the moment

275
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 1: that she was sworn in the office, the mask came

276
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 1: off and she went hardcore radical left. So good luck

277
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: to our friends in Virginia. Nine to twenty six. Dan

292
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 1: you a little bit tonight. Okay, I always appreciate your

293
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: political analysis, but I want to play a cut before

294
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 1: we begin, and so I want you to see how

295
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: I'm going to set the bar very high for you tonight.

296
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: And so I'm going to challenge you to, you know,

297
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: maybe take it up a notch because we heard some

298
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,679
Speaker 1: analysis earlier today from someone. I think you'll recognize it

299
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,120
Speaker 1: when you hear the cut and Russ, if you would

300
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 1: please play cut number twelve.

301
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:16,199
Speaker 7: I watched it. It was full of lies, and you know,

302
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 7: when he wasn't lying, he was it reminded me of

303
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 7: our kids going to show and tell at school. It

304
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 7: was literally nothing that was true about really how the

305
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 7: American people right now, so many are suffering under the

306
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 7: weight of high prices, unaffordable healthcare, and affordable housing. And

307
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 7: it was you know, we've come to expect it. And

308
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 7: you know, some people have said it was really quite

309
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,439
Speaker 7: boring and that there was nothing very interesting about it

310
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,880
Speaker 7: because it was the same old, same o, the guy

311
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 7: lying about what he intends to do, what he has done,

312
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 7: and the state of our economy and the state of

313
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 7: the world.

314
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: So, Jim faff, I don't know if you recognize that voice.

315
00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 2: A form.

316
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 6: I think it's entirely unfair for you to make me

317
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 6: have to challenge such an amazing brain, someone.

318
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 2: Who is so astute, who.

319
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 6: Does not go into platitudes when they do an analysis

320
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 6: like I do.

321
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: Well, look you're gonna come on my show. You got

322
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: to bring your in game.

323
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,439
Speaker 8: Brother, That's true.

324
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 6: I hope she gets the nomination. I standford, Kamala ayrs

325
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 6: for nomination. Listen, you know it's so funny because the

326
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 6: only thing Democrats team to ever do is to talk

327
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 6: about h to claim that they're lies, to talk about

328
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:55,919
Speaker 6: Donald Trump's personality, to talk to call people Nazis and

329
00:21:56,080 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 6: fascists and all this kind of stuff, and they never

330
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,159
Speaker 6: ever have a very clear vision. Like, for example, you know,

331
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 6: she'll say things like affordability.

332
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 2: Well, how was she dofordability?

333
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 6: Well, the way she'll do it is some government regulation

334
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,919
Speaker 6: that will make it seem like a whole lot like Obamacare.

335
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 6: You know, that's really going to start taking prices down

336
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 6: for everybody. I mean, if she voted par Obamacare, if

337
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 6: she's talking about affordability, well I got a message for you, Kamala.

338
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 2: You definitely know nothing about that.

339
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,439
Speaker 6: In fact, I think you do. You cause these problems

340
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 6: on purpose, a way to create chaos to win elections, which,

341
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 6: by the way, you don't always win. So listen, Donald

342
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 6: Trump hit a home run last night. I had another show.

343
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 6: I'm regularly on.

344
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 2: The host that was texting me last night. She never

345
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 2: does this, but she just did. And she's like, this is.

346
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 6: Ninety minutes long, and I'm not bored.

347
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 2: I'm like still really energized.

348
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 6: And it was that way. It was nearly a two

349
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 6: hour speech. Yeah, and you're you're you're just tuned in

350
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 6: the whole time because the message was great. It was

351
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,880
Speaker 6: clear you were seeing people you cared about being honored.

352
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 6: And and then for entertainment, you watch Democrats be so

353
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 6: stupid not to react to obvious winners that the American

354
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 6: people want.

355
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 1: I really feel like Trump had a game plan going

356
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: into that speech, and I think, except for maybe straying

357
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: a little bit here and there, I think for the

358
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: most part, he executed that game plan. And so when

359
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 1: you listen to someone like Kamala Harris wring their hands

360
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 1: about Americans struggling with home ownership, dealing with the advent

361
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 1: of high prices, does she forget that it was her

362
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 1: administration that had the highest inflation that we had ever seen,

363
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: that we saw interest rates go through the roof under

364
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 1: her administration because of the policies of her administration, and

365
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 1: Trump was right to call them out and talk about

366
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: the policies that he's put in place, and he pointed

367
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: to the Democrats and he said, these were the people

368
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: who caused it. These were the people that made these

369
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: things happen, and he explained that's why he was doing

370
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: what he did. So I thought he executed the game

371
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 1: plan very well last night.

372
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,439
Speaker 6: You know, in twenty twenty one, I wasn't working for

373
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,360
Speaker 6: the Conservative Focus at the time. I was just doing

374
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 6: consulting work. And one consultant opportunity I had was with

375
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 6: a guy who was running in a primary up in

376
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 6: the Chicago area, and I was driving up in my

377
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 6: Hokin F two fifty, paying two hundred and two dollars

378
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 6: in twenty two dollars and twenty cents for diesel at

379
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 6: the time, it's like late twenty twenty one, and then

380
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 6: suddenly all these things were kicking in and I was

381
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 6: now paying within a three month period four dollars a

382
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 6: gallon for diesel. Okay, so listen, these these people have

383
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 6: nothing to say and affordability, I mean, I just laugh,

384
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 6: and they can be pretty good at trying to fool

385
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 6: the American people. And sometimes it's easy to forget after

386
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 6: a few years what was going on.

387
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 2: But what I know is going on was that.

388
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 6: Prices were skyrocketing through the Biden administration and they never

389
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 6: went down. It's one thing to say, well, in the

390
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 6: last year of Biden's administration, you know, inflation was only

391
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 6: three percent, you mean after the twenty percent that we

392
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 6: had grown up to at that point. I mean, when

393
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 6: you look at the chart of accumulation of inflation over time,

394
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 6: that chart is starting to go down with sum and

395
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 6: it never left that high level during the entire Biden

396
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,880
Speaker 6: administration because he was spending like drunken sailors, and the

397
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,640
Speaker 6: Federal Reserve to back that up because they can't sell

398
00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 6: bonds around the world, were printing money sailors. And that's

399
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 6: why we have inflation or had inflation. So we're on

400
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 6: the right track now. Donald Trump has done some significant things,

401
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 6: all of which he laid out very clearly, including the

402
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 6: gas prices situation last night. And it's a winning a gin.

403
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 6: As we saw from the polls. One Pole had a

404
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 6: post Stay of the Union poll seventy four percent agreed

405
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 6: with Donald Trump and liked it.

406
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 2: CNN had sixty four percent.

407
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 6: I mean, a large swath of the American people, we're

408
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 6: very pleased if they saw it was what they heard

409
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 6: last night.

410
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,439
Speaker 1: I have to give the Democrats a little bit of credit.

411
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 1: They did stand up and applaud when Trump said he

412
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:45,360
Speaker 1: wanted to have some legislation that would prevent insider training

413
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,439
Speaker 1: at trading in that members of Congress should not be

414
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 1: able to enrich themselves because they have inside information and

415
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 1: they're able to pull the stock. I love the way

416
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: he danged Nancy Pelosi a little bit on that one.

417
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 1: They did stand up when he said raun should not

418
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 1: have a nuclear weapon. So I'm going to give them

419
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 1: credit for that. But the other things that they wouldn't

420
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: applaud for. They wouldn't applaud for prioritizing American citizens over

421
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: illegal aliens. They wouldn't applaud for keeping violent criminals locked up.

422
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:18,120
Speaker 1: They wouldn't applaud for lower drug prices. They wouldn't applaud

423
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: for protecting children from irreversible sex changes and things like that.

424
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: So there was a whole list of stuff that they

425
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: wouldn't stand for it last night, and that was a

426
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,479
Speaker 1: lot of the analysis that I saw during the day today,

427
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: people talking about how poorly I think this reflects on

428
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:40,120
Speaker 1: the Democrats, and is was this the kind of thing

429
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 1: last night, jimfaff that the people who vote in this

430
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: country will be able to remember and draw on this

431
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: when they go to vote in the midterms in November.

432
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 6: Well, the way for that to happen, there are two

433
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 6: things that have to happen for that for what you're

434
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 6: asked me, if it'll take place. The first one is

435
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 6: go ahead and keep replaying this everywhere you can. One

436
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 6: that's that's actually zero. Now let's go to one. This

437
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 6: was a treasure trove of campaign ads going forward, and

438
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:19,120
Speaker 6: you can run iterations off of this and that that should.

439
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 2: Go right against every Democrat opponent in every way.

440
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:24,640
Speaker 1: By the way, you.

441
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 6: Mentioned quick I know you mentioned that they didn't they

442
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 6: stood up for the insider trading thing. Actually he made

443
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 6: the point twice. He brought it home twice, and was

444
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 6: only on the second one that a majority of Democrats

445
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 6: stood up. At first it was only a handful of him,

446
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 6: maybe up to a quarter of them.

447
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 2: That stood up.

448
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 6: But because these people are corruptly taking advantage of that,

449
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 6: and let's be let's be clear, if something like that

450
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 6: passes Democrats, and even with the help of some Republicans,

451
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 6: they're going to water it down somehow like the Stock

452
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 6: Act helped us because now we know what these people

453
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 6: are being on their stock and it just hasn't been

454
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 6: followed up on well enough.

455
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 2: In the media until the last couple of years.

456
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 6: But anyway, here's the second thing that's got to happen

457
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 6: for Republicans to take advantage of this. I mean, just

458
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 6: Donald Trump set it up beautifully for them in November.

459
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 6: If they'll just do it, well, here's what they've got

460
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 6: to do. They need to pass the Same America Act.

461
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 2: And John Thune.

462
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 6: Is a, oh yeah, we're going to bring it up

463
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 6: for a vote. We don't want to vote.

464
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 2: That's the freeing thing.

465
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 6: Do the standing filibuster. You don't have to change their

466
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 6: rules and and fya anyone that tells you, well, you know,

467
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 6: there's no consensus in the caucus.

468
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 2: About whether we're going to do it.

469
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 6: There is only one person who has control over whether

470
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 6: we do a standing filibuster that Mike Lee so eloquently

471
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 6: he's been talking about for weeks and weeks and weeks now.

472
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 2: And that is John Thune. He's the majority leader. He

473
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 2: can do that.

474
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 6: He doesn't need his caucus to agree with him.

475
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 2: Now, he doesn't read.

476
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 1: That that it was Mitch McConnell who's standing in the

477
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:58,959
Speaker 1: way of this.

478
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 2: No, he's company.

479
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: He's not the floor of the Senate.

480
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I know, he's not.

481
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 6: Like he was holding up what's.

482
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 2: Called the Save Act.

483
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 6: That was the first pitch that the House made, and

484
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 6: he was holding it up all last year in his

485
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 6: committee because he did have authority to do that. But

486
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 6: the House just pay it past the Save America.

487
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 2: Act, which goes even further than the Save Act, and

488
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 2: the way they did it.

489
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 6: The way they did is they took a Senate bill

490
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 6: that had come over to the House and they offered

491
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 6: what's called an amendment in the form of a substitute,

492
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 6: which would that's a special procedure in the House, and

493
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 6: the Senate has the procedure too, where you just substitute,

494
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 6: you strike all the language in the bill and substitute a.

495
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 2: New language in it.

496
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,479
Speaker 6: So that bill was already passed in the Senate and

497
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 6: it doesn't have to go into committee.

498
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 2: This is all ready to go.

499
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 6: Mitch McConnell can't stop the Save America Act. The only

500
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 6: person that can stop it is John Thune. He needs

501
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 6: to have the courage no matter what is Caucus seems

502
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 6: to be saying to go ahead and push it because

503
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 6: the American people on both sides of the aisle, since

504
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 6: there's about eighty percent support for this bill, we're going.

505
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 2: To stand up for him if he would just do it.

506
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 6: And he is wiping out on it right now, and

507
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 6: do not believe him when he knows they're gonna throw

508
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 6: a lot of amendments on it. Well, all they got

509
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 6: to do is just vote down the amendments. I mean,

510
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 6: it's that simple. You don't have to change the bill.

511
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 6: And he, oh, in gosh, I'm afraid to vote down

512
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 6: devercredit amendments on this bill that is going to either

513
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 6: save us or break us as a country. This is

514
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 6: the obscene, absurd way that Republicans think in Congress, and

515
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 6: we've been living with it for a long period of time.

516
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 6: Donald Trump needs suppressed them all on this too, which

517
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 6: he did a little bit last night, and then we

518
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 6: need to get it done. So anyway, they get to

519
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 6: pass the Save Act, and then they need to implement,

520
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 6: as the Republican Study Committee.

521
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 2: Has been saying over in the House.

522
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 6: They are in this next reconciliation package, they need to

523
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 6: codify all Donald Trump's executive orders. If they would do that,

524
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 6: everyone would love it because a lot of that is

525
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 6: doage stuff, and so that would really make a big difference.

526
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 6: In other words, all they have, all the Republicans have

527
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 6: to do is just act on the things that are

528
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 6: right in front of them. It's not a lot of bills.

529
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 6: They just have to have the will to do it,

530
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 6: and it's very simple to do. Don't bring your hands.

531
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 6: Oh my gosh, the government shut down and we need

532
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 6: we need to get this DHS funding done. You know whatever,

533
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 6: get over the Save Act. It will take a week

534
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 6: or two and then you can hope you can pass

535
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 6: the DHS bill, and then you can pass a reconciliation bill,

536
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 6: and the American people will eat it up because of

537
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 6: the stuff they want.

538
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:27,719
Speaker 2: In large numbers. Yeah.

539
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: Absolutely. Do you like the idea of JD. Vance leading

540
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: the war on fraud? I like that idea. I think

541
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: it gives him something important to do. I think something

542
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: that can be really noteworthy, and it's a good chance

543
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 1: for him to knock something out of the ballpark and

544
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 1: really develop some street cred of his own.

545
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 4: Well.

546
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 6: I think Donald Trump is having him do this in

547
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 6: such a focused way because he's been given Mark a

548
00:32:54,000 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 6: Rubio all the home runs to have a chance. Yeah,

549
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 6: he does so, and they're both doing a fantastic job. Yeah,

550
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 6: I think it's I think it'd be really good for

551
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 6: jad Vans to do it.

552
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 2: I think he can handle it is.

553
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 6: He and Marco are very intelligent people, and in each

554
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 6: of their lanes they're doing a great job. So yeah,

555
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 6: I think they can be really helpful. There's a whole

556
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 6: lot of fraud that needs to happen. I love if

557
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 6: they would bring the band back, so to speak, and

558
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 6: have Elon come in for another one hundred and twenty

559
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 6: days scent to lead and talk about Doge again. Actually,

560
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 6: if Trump were able to pull that off, as well

561
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 6: as doing this with Jade NaN's, then I think that

562
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 6: it would be a fantastic message going in to November,

563
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 6: if only Republicans in Congress will back it up, which

564
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 6: presently they're not, at least not the leadership doing.

565
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 2: And as I've said many times I said it.

566
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 6: On your show, the weak part of the Trump agenda's

567
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 6: Republicans in Congress.

568
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 2: That's still the case today.

569
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 6: They've got a chance. Donald Trump's given them everything they need.

570
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 2: They just have to act.

571
00:33:55,840 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: Now, why is it so impossible for Democrats's and the

572
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: left to find common ground when it comes to celebrating

573
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:09,280
Speaker 1: things like the Olympics and the hockey team the gold

574
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:12,799
Speaker 1: medal there. Why why does that have to be a

575
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:16,319
Speaker 1: partisan issue. I can remember, Jim, I've been a fan

576
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 1: of the Olympics ever since I was a kid. I

577
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 1: love watching the Olympics. And if there was an American

578
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: who won a gold medal, and the you know Michael Phelps,

579
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 1: uh celebrated him winning all those gold medals. He won

580
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 1: gold medals under Republican presidents and under Democrat presidents and uh,

581
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 1: you know, these Olympians they visit the White House that

582
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: maybe maybe it was Obama they visited whatever, But we

583
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 1: cheered the Olympians and we were and we were happy

584
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 1: when if you've got Americans who are proud to wear

585
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 1: us A across their chest, we were proud of that.

586
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 1: We are proud of those Olympians, and we celebrated them.

587
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 1: And and this great victory that the men and the

588
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 1: women before them had to close out last week, we

589
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 1: can't we can't even find un common ground on that. Well,

590
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 1: why is it? Why is the left so hell bent

591
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:11,280
Speaker 1: on just ruining everything? And if there's look these young guys,

592
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:13,839
Speaker 1: I mean, they're all NHL guys, they all got money,

593
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:17,240
Speaker 1: they're partying, they're having a great time. And the left,

594
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: it seems, just cannot abide any of that.

595
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

596
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,399
Speaker 6: You know, by the way, I was in junior high

597
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 6: school in nineteen eighty when I was at a basketball

598
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 6: game in Whiteland, Indiana, where I was going to school

599
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 6: at the time, and they stopped everything to announce that

600
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 6: the USA hockey.

601
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 2: Team had won.

602
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:38,439
Speaker 6: There was a four thousand person stadium. We have four

603
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 6: thousand person stadiums in Indiana for high school basketball?

604
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 2: Are you doing it?

605
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:42,879
Speaker 8: Was?

606
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 6: It was so loud you couldn't even hear yourself talk.

607
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 6: Everyone was so excited. We've always been that way.

608
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 2: It's so simple to do that. See.

609
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 6: But the reason Democrats don't is because they don't believe

610
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 6: in America. They're literally trying to overthrow the American Republic.

611
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 6: They are malice common munists in their general way of thinking.

612
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 6: When I say malice communists, I mean in the current

613
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 6: situation in China where they have this pseudo economic structure

614
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 6: that supposedly free market capitalism there really isn't because if

615
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 6: you do something wrong, your social credit score is going

616
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 6: to go down, you can't buy anything.

617
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 2: Like we haven't quite gotten.

618
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 6: There here in the US, but the Democrats would like

619
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 6: to take us there. I mean, that is literally their

620
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 6: governing philosophy right now. There was a time when Democrats

621
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 6: when even when they disagreed with Republicans and Republicans vice versa,

622
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:37,479
Speaker 6: would have this sense of we're America, We're a great nation.

623
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 6: Let's do what we can. And there was always the

624
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 6: stupidity of politics. But this is something much different. And

625
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 6: last night put on display the fact that Democrats are

626
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,919
Speaker 6: not from this country. In their mind. They are from

627
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 6: some other countries. It's China, it's Russia, It's I don't

628
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 6: know where it is. I mean, it's Africa maybe, Like

629
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 6: these are the things that they look up to as

630
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 6: a governing strategy, even maybe Great Britain. The way it

631
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:07,320
Speaker 6: is right now, their governing strategy is to close down

632
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:12,240
Speaker 6: citizens and to put them in their place, to censor

633
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 6: them so hard. The only way they can talk is

634
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 6: if they tow the party line, just like in communist Russia,

635
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 6: and the way that all those stories that existed during

636
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 6: the Cold War, that's what the governing structure that they

637
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:25,720
Speaker 6: are seeking.

638
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 2: It is literally what they seek.

639
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:31,839
Speaker 6: And they can't get excited about the goodness of America

640
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 6: unless they're the ones that are controlling it. Then they'll

641
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:36,720
Speaker 6: demand it of others and they'll throw you in jail

642
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 6: if you don't abide by it, just like they're doing

643
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 6: in Great Britain right now.

644
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:43,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, Rashida Talib and yeah, we've got about a minute

645
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 1: left here. And I guess some others on the Democrat

646
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:50,800
Speaker 1: side had on lapel pins last night that had the

647
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 1: words f ice on it, and of course it was

648
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:58,800
Speaker 1: the F bomb. It didn't We used to have some

649
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: some rules about the korum in the House and the

650
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 1: way you conduct yourself and the way you conduct your business.

651
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 1: Weren't things at one time like that frowned upon if

652
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 1: you would do something like that in the House, and

653
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 1: you know, be calls for removal from the chamber. Whatever

654
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:14,280
Speaker 1: happened to those.

655
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, well they were there. I thought there were

656
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 6: few restrictive. Always everyone got mad at Joe oh Man

657
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 6: and I even know him, Joe what's his name for,

658
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 6: Joe Hill, Joe Wilson when he said that Obama lied.

659
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 6: I always I always liked how they do it in

660
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 6: British Parliament. Frankly, where they're yelling and screaming at each other,

661
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 6: I don't That's not my concern. The decorum, though, that

662
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 6: we do need is a respect for our country, a

663
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 6: recognition that if we are going to be aggressive, I mean,

664
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 6: by the way, if we're going to do that to

665
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:46,760
Speaker 6: the Democrats, and we have to do it to Donald

666
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:48,879
Speaker 6: Trump's standing up in the podium, and I don't want

667
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 6: that to.

668
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 2: Happen because I think it's very effective.

669
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 6: The back and forth is not bad. It reveals a

670
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 6: whole lot more. When you have uber decorum, then people

671
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 6: have this idea that things are going well when what's

672
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 6: simmering beneath is everything that led to the problems that we.

673
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 2: Have right now.

674
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:06,919
Speaker 6: So I like it to be out in the open.

675
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 6: I like it to be aggressive. I'm all for aggressive

676
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 6: politics and because we need to stand for something. But

677
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 6: we used to do that together as a nation, because

678
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 6: we largely agreed. John F. Kennedy Junior, John Kennedy Senior.

679
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 6: He was a patriot, He was a cold warrior who

680
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 6: wanted to protect this country. And he might have gotten

681
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 6: killed for that, who knows.

682
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 2: But the point is that.

683
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 6: Democrats used to have a lot more of that, even

684
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 6: though you had your problems, you always do. They were

685
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 6: a lot more like that as a party than they

686
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 6: are now. This party right now doesn't even mirror anything

687
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 6: that we've experienced in this country except for Democrats.

688
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 2: Leading up to the Civil War. All right, and they're

689
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:48,879
Speaker 2: of the same milk.

690
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:50,760
Speaker 1: All right, well, Jim, we'll have to leave it there.

691
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 1: I'm going to give you a passing grade. I think

692
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:59,760
Speaker 1: your analysis tonight has that of the former vice president

693
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 1: and maybe future UH presidential candidate, which she she hinted

694
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 1: to today on some podcasts.

695
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:09,840
Speaker 6: So I do not like how you how poorly you

696
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 6: just treated me by bringing me up to such a

697
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 6: low standard.

698
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 1: It was, I'll admit it was a low bar, but

699
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:19,800
Speaker 1: you know you clear the bar. You cleared it quite easily,

700
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 1: my friend.

701
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:22,200

Speaker 8: You gave me a nine eighty.

703
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 2: S at score.

704
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 1: You and Gavin Newsom, Yeah, you suffer from similar difficulties,

705
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 1: I suppose. Jim, Hey, thank you, buddy. I appreciate the time,

706
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 1: and we'll do it again before too long, my friend, anytime.

Speaker 1: Glad you are here as well. We are continuing our

713
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 1: analysis of the State of the Union speech last night.

714
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:07,360
Speaker 1: After the speech, CNN was farewell be Actually I go

715
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 1: back to before the speech. All you heard about before

716
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 1: the speech was Donald Trump has these low approval ratings,

717
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 1: lowest approval ratings of his presidency, and people really don

718
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 1: very popular. It's gonna, you know, have that specter hanging

719
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:25,800
Speaker 1: over his head while he gives a speech. Tonight. Well,

720
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 1: here was a little CNN analysis after the speech about

721
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 1: what people think of Trump policies.

722
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 2: Russ.

723
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 1: Let's here cut number one.

724
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 9: Please, among speech watchers tonight, sixty four percent of his

725
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:37,880
Speaker 9: policies will move the US in the right direction. And

726
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:41,280
Speaker 9: look at the growth President Trump made over the speech.

727
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 9: So pre speech it was fifty four percent of speech

728
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 9: watchers said his policies will move the US in the

729
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 9: right direction. After the speech, that number goes up ten

730
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 9: percentage point. So Donald Trump made some progress with people

731
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 9: watching the speech from their pre speech expectations to what

732
00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 9: they saw in the speech itself and not sixty four

733
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:03,239
Speaker 9: percent number that's pretty much in range across all of

734
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:05,439
Speaker 9: his State of the Union addresses in his first term

735
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 9: last year the Joint Session. That's about what we've seen

736
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 9: is roughly two thirds have walked away from his speech

737
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 9: as thinking he's going to move it in the right direction.

738
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:15,479
Speaker 1: So a lot of red meat for the base. Yeah,

739
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 1: there's no doubt about that.

740
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:19,759
Speaker 9: If you're a Republican on the ballot in twenty twenty six,

741
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 9: I think you leave this speech being as happy as

742
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:25,799
Speaker 9: you could possibly be that he sort of stuck to

743
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 9: the script on the economy, He gave the red meat

744
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:30,799
Speaker 9: to the base on immigration, and they can leave the

745
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 9: home tonight and sort of take that out on the

746
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 9: campaign trail.

747
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 1: So there you go. When CNN is providing analysis like

748
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 1: that in the wake of a Trump speech, when the

749
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 1: left was absolutely losing their minds, you know, it was

750
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 1: a good night for the commander in chief. Joining me

751
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 1: now is Todd Sheets. He is the author of the

752
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 1: book two thousand and eight What Really Happened Understanding the

753
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:53,799
Speaker 1: Great Financial Crisis, and Todd Sheets it's great to have

754
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:55,280
Speaker 1: you back on seven hundred.

755
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 2: Ww Dan, great to be with you again.

756
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was. We're doing some analysis of the State

757
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 1: of the Union speech tonight, and I want to talk

758
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:07,399
Speaker 1: Trump talked about tariffs a little bit, and I want

759
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 1: to get into that. But in a general sense, I

760
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 1: really felt like Trump had a game plan last night,

761
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 1: and he pretty much stuck to that game plan, and

762
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 1: I think it's really going to wind up paying dividends

763
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 1: for him, and as you heard the analysis there on CNN,

764
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 1: maybe for other Republicans who see fit to take advantage

765
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:27,839
Speaker 1: of such a thing.

766
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:34,320
Speaker 10: Yeah, I completely agree with you. He definitely had a script.

767
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:40,799
Speaker 10: It was incredibly artfully well crafted and well delivered, and

768
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 10: he stayed to that script much more closely than he

769
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:47,360
Speaker 10: often does, which in that format I thought was perfect.

770
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 2: And in the times when he had lived a little.

771
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:53,280
Speaker 10: Bit and went off script, you know, he just happened

772
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:57,359
Speaker 10: to catch the moment almost perfectly. So I couldn't agree more.

773
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 10: I think it was one of the best speeches I've

774
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:00,399
Speaker 10: ever seen him give.

775
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, he actually he did talk about the Supreme Court

776
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 1: ruling in the tariffs, and he didn't spend as much

777
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 1: time on that as I anticipated. I thought he might

778
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:12,359
Speaker 1: spend a little more time on that, but I thought, well,

779
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:15,800
Speaker 1: you know, what he said was effective. And I'm reading

780
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 1: the piece that that you posted on your h I

781
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:21,959
Speaker 1: guess this is on your substack a few days ago,

782
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 1: and you're talking about how the president needs to accept

783
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:28,239
Speaker 1: this ruling and reaffirm his commitment to the rule of law.

784
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:31,520
Speaker 1: And I look at that, and then I think, in

785
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 1: in his history, I think when Trump has had Supreme

786
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 1: Court rulings that go against him, he really he really

787
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:42,359
Speaker 1: hasn't played that card to where he's going to try

788
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:46,320
Speaker 1: and defy or defy or yeah, defy the Supreme Court

789
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 1: and go against their rulings. So I think him doing

790
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 1: something like that would probably be a little out of character.

791
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 2: What do you say, Yeah, I agree.

792
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 8: I mean I think he has, uh, he's pushed the

793
00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 8: boundaries on.

794
00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 10: Executive power in lots of areas, but he has ultimately

795
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 10: followed the rulings that came to come down from the

796
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:08,919
Speaker 10: court system. And pushing those boundaries is really nothing new.

797
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 10: I mean, presidents have been doing that for a long time.

798
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,880
Speaker 10: And so you know, I think in that way, he

799
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 10: has shown that, you know, he's not a threat to democracy,

800
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:22,760
Speaker 10: like the Democrats have tried to portray.

801
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:25,760
Speaker 2: Him as being. He's also done that in other important ways.

802
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 2: You know, if this was.

803
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 10: A threat to democracy, who was trying to run a

804
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 10: hostile takeover of democratically run cities, for example, he would

805
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 10: not have put the National Guard into Los Angeles and

806
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 10: then withdrawn them, or done the same thing in Portland,

807
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:43,400
Speaker 10: or had them waiting to go in in Chicago until

808
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 10: the court made a decision, and then when the court

809
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:49,439
Speaker 10: decided against them, he pulled out. So I just thought

810
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 10: I made that comment because this was an especially.

811
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 2: Important moment where you know.

812
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:59,879
Speaker 10: This was probably this was I think, by a long shot,

813
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 10: long ways the most significant setback he's had on economic

814
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:07,319
Speaker 10: policy UH in this turn.

815
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 8: And his initial reaction was fairly.

816
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 2: Harsh, but I thought it was important for him to pull.

817
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 8: Back and accept the accept the decision.

818
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 10: Of the court, UH, deal with it in a dignified way,

819
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 10: and then find a way to move on. And I

820
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:25,359
Speaker 10: think in the State of the Union he did all

821
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 10: of those things.

822
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 8: And he also, as you said, he didn't spend.

823
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:31,880
Speaker 2: That much time on it, which I thought was critical.

824
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:35,240
Speaker 8: Because it basically sent the message, Yeah, you know, they.

825
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 10: Decided against this, but we've got a plan B and

826
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:40,279
Speaker 10: we're going to move forward and this is not going

827
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:42,520
Speaker 10: to affect our overall economic agenda.

828
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:45,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, because well I was just going to say the

829
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:48,880
Speaker 1: same day that the Supreme Court came out with that ruling,

830
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 1: Scompiscent had a had a some sort of event that

831
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:56,719
Speaker 1: that later that night, and he talked about how the

832
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:59,879
Speaker 1: President had available to him other tools in the tool

833
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 1: is the way he described, And so he talked about

834
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:06,719
Speaker 1: how the Supreme Court ruling was very narrowly focused on

835
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 1: one section of the law that the President used to

836
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:12,239
Speaker 1: get these tariffs in place, and he simply said, we,

837
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:14,759
Speaker 1: you know, we just will just change strategies now and

838
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:17,400
Speaker 1: use a different section of the law and have the tariffs,

839
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 1: and you know, it's just gonna maybe take a little

840
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 1: bit to get it up and running. But he I

841
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:26,719
Speaker 1: just think Scott Descent was terrific on that. When you

842
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:29,759
Speaker 1: look at a guy like percent, what kind of job

843
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 1: do you think he is doing at Treasury? I think

844
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:35,840
Speaker 1: every time I see him, I just I just literally

845
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:37,759
Speaker 1: stand up and clap my hands. I think he just

846
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:39,960
Speaker 1: knocks it out of the park time and time again.

847
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 2: I couldn't agree more.

848
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:46,239
Speaker 8: You know, Scott Descent is a superstar.

849
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 10: And this administration has a number of those superstars, and

850
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 10: I think that's an important thing. Also, you know, Trump

851
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 10: has appointed highly capable people you know, who have great

852
00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:02,360
Speaker 10: deal of experience in various parts of the private sector.

853
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:07,160
Speaker 10: Some also have experience in government. They understand the issues.

854
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:11,160
Speaker 10: These are not yes men, which many people have accused

855
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:14,880
Speaker 10: him of only being interested in appointing. These are people

856
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:17,880
Speaker 10: with strong opinions who I think have given him great advice.

857
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:21,839
Speaker 10: Marco Rubio falls into this category. And I also think

858
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 10: Kevin Worsh, his new appointment to lead the Federal Reserve,

859
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:28,600
Speaker 10: is another one that falls into this category.

860
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:29,560
Speaker 2: Trump could have.

861
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 10: Picked people, you know that were much more clearly aligned

862
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:36,880
Speaker 10: and likely to do Trump's bidding. And I think Warsh

863
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:39,759
Speaker 10: has clearly reached areas of agreement with Trump on what

864
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 10: the Fed should do. But Worsh has taken some very

865
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:46,360
Speaker 10: principled stands on reigning in the powers of the Fed,

866
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 10: on being careful with being too laxed with monetary policy,

867
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:55,040
Speaker 10: because he knows where that's where inflation and ultimate things ultimately,

868
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:57,480
Speaker 10: things like affordability problems come from.

869
00:48:58,000 --> 00:48:59,359
Speaker 2: So I think again, this is.

870
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:02,400
Speaker 10: Just as you're pointing out, you know, Besstt is another

871
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 10: feather in Trump's cap of having appointed a really strong

872
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:09,719
Speaker 10: team to work with him in this administration.

873
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:12,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, you use the word that's been the big bud

874
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:14,480
Speaker 1: buzz word for the last couple of months now. The

875
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:17,960
Speaker 1: flavor of the month word is affordability. And that is

876
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:20,960
Speaker 1: something when I look at and I think Trump was

877
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 1: right last night to call out the Democrats and talking

878
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:27,520
Speaker 1: about a lot of the problems when it comes to healthcare, affordability,

879
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:30,279
Speaker 1: and some of the other economic issues that he was

880
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:33,480
Speaker 1: talking about. He was essentially saying that these problems were

881
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:36,520
Speaker 1: caused by those folks right over there on the other

882
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:39,399
Speaker 1: side of the aisle. So when it comes to affordability,

883
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:42,919
Speaker 1: and I thought Spamberger was just an absolute joke last

884
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:45,919
Speaker 1: night when she was talking about She talked about affordability

885
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:49,279
Speaker 1: and trying to bring the prices down, and she talked

886
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:51,359
Speaker 1: about how she was going to do it, never mind

887
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:54,040
Speaker 1: the fact that her and her Democrat friends of Virginia

888
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:57,520
Speaker 1: have rolled out at least fifty new taxes that they

889
00:49:57,520 --> 00:50:00,719
Speaker 1: want to implement in the Commonwealth of Virginia. But when

890
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:05,719
Speaker 1: it comes to Trump, I look at affordability, and the

891
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:11,200
Speaker 1: notion that people are suffering with high mortgage rates, that

892
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:16,640
Speaker 1: they're suffering with high gasoline prices, high grocery prices, utility prices,

893
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:21,840
Speaker 1: things like that, somehow that they want to lay this

894
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:26,160
Speaker 1: at his doorstep and make the case that he's responsible

895
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:29,799
Speaker 1: for that when all this suffering was going on during

896
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:32,640
Speaker 1: the Biden administration before he got in it. And I

897
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:34,759
Speaker 1: really think now we're in a position now to where

898
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 1: all these things are going to stop coming down, and

899
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 1: affordability is going to be something that really starts to

900
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:43,719
Speaker 1: get a lot of traction here in the next six

901
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:44,719
Speaker 1: months or the next year.

902
00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:51,319
Speaker 10: Yeah, absolutely correct. You know the Biden deficits that he

903
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:56,080
Speaker 10: ran after coming into office, which occurred after the economy

904
00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 10: had already recovered from COVID, So this was not spending

905
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:03,080
Speaker 10: that was needed to prevent COVID from sending us into

906
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:05,480
Speaker 10: an even deeper economic decline.

907
00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:07,200
Speaker 2: We had already recovered.

908
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:11,799
Speaker 10: They undertook this massive spending policy, just like Obama did

909
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:14,360
Speaker 10: during his first term when he had an opportunity to

910
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:19,680
Speaker 10: do it. In both cases, it did not invigorate a

911
00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 10: rapid recovery in the economy that created the kind of

912
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:27,160
Speaker 10: job growth in that type of thing that they promised.

913
00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:31,480
Speaker 10: All it did was, in Obama's case, it funded or

914
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:34,959
Speaker 10: led to a massive and dangerous increase in the debt

915
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:38,319
Speaker 10: levels from what had been the high end of the.

916
00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:40,279
Speaker 8: Safe zone up into.

917
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 2: The low end of the dangerous zone.

918
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:45,319
Speaker 10: During Obama and then with Biden it led to the

919
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 10: inflation that Drome drove home prices up and other consumer

920
00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:55,279
Speaker 10: prices up so much. And the definition of an affordability

921
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 10: problem is when prices move up much more rapidly than

922
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:00,960
Speaker 10: ins are growing.

923
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 2: And that's what happens. And one thing that.

924
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:05,400
Speaker 8: The Democrats are trying to play this.

925
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 2: Game by putting this on Trump.

926
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:11,040
Speaker 10: But once those price levels move up, let's say your

927
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:14,040
Speaker 10: monthly costs go from I'll just pick a round number,

928
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:18,880
Speaker 10: one thousand dollars to thirteen or fourteen hundred dollars, and your.

929
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:20,239
Speaker 2: Income level doesn't go up.

930
00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:23,879
Speaker 10: Well, even if the rate of inflation, the percentage rate

931
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:28,440
Speaker 10: that it's growing each year, comes down, those overall higher

932
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:32,640
Speaker 10: prices are still baked into your monthly costs. And that's

933
00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:35,279
Speaker 10: what we're really dealing with right now. And the way

934
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:40,239
Speaker 10: you solve that is you get the economy growing and

935
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:43,399
Speaker 10: you get job growth going and you get wages going

936
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:46,759
Speaker 10: up so that the people's incomes can grow in to

937
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:52,480
Speaker 10: this cost problem that was created during the Biden years.

938
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:54,280
Speaker 8: And it takes time for that to happen.

939
00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:57,080
Speaker 10: That's the only reason why they're able to try and

940
00:52:57,120 --> 00:52:59,719
Speaker 10: hang this on Trump right now is because.

941
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:00,640
Speaker 2: It's going to take time.

942
00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:03,359
Speaker 10: Before you know, we've got an ocean liner that's been

943
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 10: steered into troubled waters, and I'm speaking about our economy

944
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:11,480
Speaker 10: for decades now, and it takes time to get that

945
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:14,840
Speaker 10: turn and back into you know, the kind of waters

946
00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:17,160
Speaker 10: where you have the kind of growth and upward mobility

947
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:18,399
Speaker 10: that people are looking for.

948
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:21,960
Speaker 2: But that should be coming, given the signs that we're seeing.

949
00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:24,839
Speaker 10: And once it does, then we'll start eating away and

950
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:26,880
Speaker 10: we'll solve this affordability problem.

951
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:27,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

952
00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:29,480
Speaker 1: And then when you talk about debts, when you talk

953
00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:32,000
Speaker 1: about deficits, that was something that I had a couple

954
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:35,200
Speaker 1: of callers last week where we were talking about and

955
00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:38,400
Speaker 1: I said, you know, I said, I like the Trump policies.

956
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:41,160
Speaker 1: I like the ideas that he has that he wants

957
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:46,120
Speaker 1: to have growth, work against these problems and try to

958
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 1: get the debt and try to get the deficits under control.

959
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:53,080
Speaker 1: But I don't know that he's done that in a

960
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:57,280
Speaker 1: meaningful way. And then I look at all the different

961
00:53:57,320 --> 00:54:00,719
Speaker 1: investment that is coming in the billions of some of

962
00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:04,480
Speaker 1: these companies are going to spend building new plants and

963
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 1: doing upgrades and bringing their business into the United States.

964
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:10,480
Speaker 1: So I think we're poised for that growth. But is

965
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:15,040
Speaker 1: that growth going to be enough to address these debts

966
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:16,680
Speaker 1: and deficits in a serious way?

967
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:20,200
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean I think you know, Bethan has talked

968
00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:24,320
Speaker 10: about basically cutting the deficit as a percentage of GDP

969
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:30,760
Speaker 10: roughly in half from what they inherited from the Biden administration.

970
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:35,719
Speaker 10: I think their primary focus in doing that is in

971
00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:38,799
Speaker 10: growing our way out of the problem, which is where

972
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:43,080
Speaker 10: you get the economy growing fast enough that the debt

973
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:47,560
Speaker 10: and the deficits start shrinking as a percentage of the economy,

974
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:51,040
Speaker 10: even though they may be growing in absolute terms. I

975
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:55,799
Speaker 10: think that's a very realistic set of expectations if they

976
00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:57,920
Speaker 10: can get things going the way that I expect that

977
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:02,600
Speaker 10: they will, I'm like you, I would also prefer to

978
00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:08,319
Speaker 10: see a stronger focus on the fiscal responsibility and the

979
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:11,319
Speaker 10: spending side of things, But I think we just have

980
00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:13,840
Speaker 10: to accept you know, Trump.

981
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:15,600
Speaker 2: Is a deal guy. He's a growth guy.

982
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:19,200
Speaker 10: That's where his focus and his forte is. You know,

983
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:21,360
Speaker 10: as a real estate developer in New York, you know,

984
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:24,719
Speaker 10: you're not necessarily a guy a super cost conscious kind

985
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:28,160
Speaker 10: of business. And so I think that's just not the

986
00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:31,600
Speaker 10: main focus of what he's trying to do. But I

987
00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:35,800
Speaker 10: do think that what he's working on can and will

988
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:38,399
Speaker 10: be successful. And I've gone back and looked at his

989
00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:41,600
Speaker 10: first term. You know, if you looked at before tariff,

990
00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:45,479
Speaker 10: before the excuse me, the COVID spending kicked in, which

991
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:48,759
Speaker 10: which was at the end of his term, if you

992
00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:52,640
Speaker 10: look at the controlled expenses, which exclude defense spending and interest,

993
00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:57,400
Speaker 10: he kept federal spending at a constant rate of GDP

994
00:55:57,640 --> 00:56:00,160
Speaker 10: through that period of time. So there's a little bit

995
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:04,080
Speaker 10: more cost consciousness there than meets the eye, just because

996
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 10: he doesn't talk about it as much as maybe some

997
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:07,080
Speaker 10: others have.

998
00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:10,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's another part in your piece that I was

999
00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:13,839
Speaker 1: looking at and you're talking about that. You wrote that

1000
00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:16,760
Speaker 1: we've reached a point where Trump's advisors need to stop

1001
00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:20,640
Speaker 1: assuming that he is politically infallible. It seems to me, like,

1002
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:24,759
Speaker 1: I mean, for a guy that has his background and

1003
00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:28,440
Speaker 1: is really still relatively new to the political scene. It

1004
00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:31,000
Speaker 1: seems like his political instincts have been pretty much right

1005
00:56:31,040 --> 00:56:33,480
Speaker 1: on the money the entire time he's been involved in

1006
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:33,839
Speaker 1: all this.

1007
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:36,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1008
00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:38,560
Speaker 10: Look, I think he came into the administration this year

1009
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:40,560
Speaker 10: and I think people thought this guy just can't make

1010
00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:41,640
Speaker 10: a political mistake.

1011
00:56:41,719 --> 00:56:42,759
Speaker 2: And it's understandable.

1012
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:48,520
Speaker 10: You know, he took on issues like abortion, immigration and

1013
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:52,200
Speaker 10: other things that people just thought, we're off the table,

1014
00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:55,160
Speaker 10: you know, you can't talk about these kinds of things

1015
00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:57,840
Speaker 10: or you're an automatic loser. And he ended up winning

1016
00:56:57,840 --> 00:57:00,479
Speaker 10: on and he took on a Democratic Party that tried

1017
00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:03,400
Speaker 10: to portray him as Hitler and the biggest threat to

1018
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:06,920
Speaker 10: democracy sense Hitler, and he beat them, So I think.

1019
00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:07,759
Speaker 2: That was understandable.

1020
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:08,879
Speaker 8: I do think there were some.

1021
00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:11,840
Speaker 10: Mistakes made this year, But when you're trying to do

1022
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:14,680
Speaker 10: as much as he's trying to do, you.

1023
00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:16,480
Speaker 2: Know you are going to make some mistakes.

1024
00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:18,080
Speaker 8: I think there were some mistakes.

1025
00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 10: On the messaging about affordability in the fall. I think

1026
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:25,440
Speaker 10: some of the deportation tactics, you know, went a little

1027
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:28,720
Speaker 10: bit overboard, and you know, of course they were having

1028
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:32,280
Speaker 10: to deal with this hostile environment that his opponents were

1029
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:35,000
Speaker 10: creating where they were trying to create an opportunity for

1030
00:57:35,360 --> 00:57:38,320
Speaker 10: problems to happen. But I think that they could have

1031
00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:41,479
Speaker 10: played it a little bit more safer there, a little

1032
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:43,880
Speaker 10: bit more careful, and that would have worked for their

1033
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:46,320
Speaker 10: advantage in maintaining support in those areas.

1034
00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:49,600
Speaker 8: But every administration, every president.

1035
00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:51,280
Speaker 2: Is going to make some mistakes along the way.

1036
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:53,800
Speaker 10: And the point I was making is, you know, he's

1037
00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:57,680
Speaker 10: got strong people in that administration. Let's understand that mistakes

1038
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:00,560
Speaker 10: can be made. Let's make sure we're giving him advice,

1039
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:02,760
Speaker 10: and then he's making decisions with that.

1040
00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:04,960
Speaker 2: And I think buy and Marge, that's been happening.

1041
00:58:05,040 --> 00:58:07,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, Todd Scheetz, I mean, you've been involved in investment

1042
00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:11,000
Speaker 1: banking and financial analysis for a long time. Are you

1043
00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:14,240
Speaker 1: gobsmacked at all by the amount of fraud that seems

1044
00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:16,720
Speaker 1: to be uncovered? Every time we look at a government

1045
00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:21,040
Speaker 1: program and any time money changes hands, it seems like

1046
00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:25,120
Speaker 1: there's just unbelievable amounts of fraud that get attached to it.

1047
00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:26,919
Speaker 11: Yeah.

1048
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:31,640
Speaker 10: You know, I think for me, maybe the biggest disappointment

1049
00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:33,160
Speaker 10: of the administration so far.

1050
00:58:33,560 --> 00:58:34,560
Speaker 2: And this isn't this.

1051
00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:38,200
Speaker 10: Isn't Trump's fault, but it was it was the failure

1052
00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:41,280
Speaker 10: of those with Elon Musk at the head of it,

1053
00:58:41,360 --> 00:58:44,560
Speaker 10: to really fulfill the mission and the potentials that they had.

1054
00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:46,400
Speaker 2: I mean, we had the most.

1055
00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:50,440
Speaker 10: Brilliant, entrepreneurial business person in the world who had dedicated

1056
00:58:50,440 --> 00:58:53,680
Speaker 10: his time to trying to find one to two trillion

1057
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:57,360
Speaker 10: dollars worth of waste, fraud and abuse. The Government Accounting

1058
00:58:57,440 --> 00:59:00,959
Speaker 10: Office in the past has estimated there's at least five

1059
00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:03,720
Speaker 10: or six hundred billion of that out there. You know,

1060
00:59:03,840 --> 00:59:06,840
Speaker 10: that would have cut the deficits so much. But you know,

1061
00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:12,280
Speaker 10: we had this such a powerful vic reality anti Trump

1062
00:59:12,360 --> 00:59:15,760
Speaker 10: reaction to this, and when they start burning you know,

1063
00:59:16,320 --> 00:59:20,600
Speaker 10: your car dealerships down and throwing bombs at him, and

1064
00:59:20,640 --> 00:59:24,400
Speaker 10: they start demonizing your customers, you know. Unfortunately got to

1065
00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:26,120
Speaker 10: the point where Musk had to walk.

1066
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:26,560
Speaker 2: Away from that.

1067
00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:29,439
Speaker 10: So I think that would have been a great opportunity.

1068
00:59:29,840 --> 00:59:33,880
Speaker 10: I think what's happened in Minneapolis is now showing what

1069
00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:36,760
Speaker 10: the potential for dose really is. And I think to

1070
00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:39,600
Speaker 10: the administration's credit, and Trump talked about this in the

1071
00:59:39,640 --> 00:59:44,200
Speaker 10: speech last night. You know, they are He's putting JD.

1072
00:59:44,360 --> 00:59:47,160
Speaker 10: Vance in charge of a task force that's going to

1073
00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:49,000
Speaker 10: go in and make sure, we get to the bottom

1074
00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:51,280
Speaker 10: of everything that happened in Minnesota and then go out

1075
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:52,880
Speaker 10: to California and do the same thing.

1076
00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:54,560
Speaker 8: So I think they're now coming.

1077
00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:57,880
Speaker 2: Back at this same thing from a different perspective.

1078
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:00,280
Speaker 8: And I'm really glad to see that, because it is

1079
01:00:00,520 --> 01:00:01,680
Speaker 8: mind blowing to see this.

1080
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Are you like me, would you like to see some

1081
01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:06,480
Speaker 1: accountability maybe at the end at least, say, is someone

1082
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:07,960
Speaker 1: being held accountable for all this?

1083
01:00:10,320 --> 01:00:11,000
Speaker 2: Absolutely?

1084
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:14,200
Speaker 10: And I think we will see that.

1085
01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:16,680
Speaker 1: I hope you're right. I'm not going to hold my breath, so.

1086
01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:21,640
Speaker 10: I understand that we will see it at.

1087
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:22,000
Speaker 8: The end of the day.

1088
01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:26,000
Speaker 1: Right to If people want to find out more about you,

1089
01:00:26,040 --> 01:00:26,800
Speaker 1: where do they do that?

1090
01:00:28,320 --> 01:00:30,439

Speaker 10: the point.

1100
01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:52,360
Speaker 8: You know, I was.

1101
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:54,480
Speaker 2: Fortunate enough to live the American dream.

1102
01:00:55,120 --> 01:00:57,480
Speaker 10: I know, so many other people that have done that,

1103
01:00:57,640 --> 01:00:59,880
Speaker 10: and for me this is a way of trying to

1104
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:02,880
Speaker 10: contributes something back to the country that's you know, helped

1105
01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:04,040
Speaker 10: me do so much.

1106
01:01:03,840 --> 01:01:04,520
Speaker 2: With my wife.

1107
01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:07,160
Speaker 1: All Right, Todd Sheets, I appreciate the time tonight, I

1108
01:01:07,240 --> 01:01:10,160

1110
01:01:11,720 --> 01:01:12,120
Speaker 1: too long.

1111
01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:14,480
Speaker 2: Great to be with you again, Dan.

1112

01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:27,640
Speaker 1: Carrol till midnight tonight, Wednesday Night edition of The Midweek

1116
01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:32,760
Speaker 1: Crisis five one, three, seven, four nine, seven thousand, eight

1117

Speaker 1: hundred the Big One if you want to get on board.

1118
01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:40,640
Speaker 1: One of the great soundbites from the State of the

1119
01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:45,720
Speaker 1: Union last night when Trump singled out his predecessor and

1120
01:01:46,440 --> 01:01:48,360
Speaker 1: pretty much lead it on the line, let's hear cutting

1121
01:01:48,360 --> 01:01:49,080
Speaker 1: the ber eight Russ.

1122
01:01:49,440 --> 01:01:54,320
Speaker 12: For decades before I came along, we had the exact opposite.

1123
01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:59,840
Speaker 12: From trade to healthcare, from energy to immigration. Everything was stolen,

1124
01:01:59,880 --> 01:02:02,160
Speaker 12: a rigged in order to drain the wealth out of

1125
01:02:02,240 --> 01:02:06,400
Speaker 12: the productive, hardworking people who make our country, great who

1126
01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:11,040
Speaker 12: make our country run. Under Biden and his corrupt partners

1127
01:02:11,080 --> 01:02:14,480
Speaker 12: in Congress and beyond, it reached a breaking point with

1128
01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:19,200
Speaker 12: the Green new scam, open borders for everyone. They poured

1129
01:02:19,280 --> 01:02:23,880
Speaker 12: in by the millions and millions from prisons, from mental institutions.

1130
01:02:23,960 --> 01:02:27,640
Speaker 12: They were murderers, eleven eight hundred and eighty eight murders.

1131
01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:28,760
Speaker 2: They came into our country.

1132
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:30,000
Speaker 1: You allowed that to happen.

1133
01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:35,040
Speaker 12: And record setting inflation that cost the typical family thirty

1134
01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:39,600
Speaker 12: four thousand dollars in just a speck of time. Now,

1135
01:02:39,640 --> 01:02:42,400
Speaker 12: the same people in this chamber who voted for those

1136
01:02:42,560 --> 01:02:47,080
Speaker 12: disasters suddenly used the word affordability a word.

1137
01:02:47,640 --> 01:02:48,840
Speaker 2: They just used it.

1138
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:52,560
Speaker 12: Somebody gave it to him, knowing full well that they

1139
01:02:52,840 --> 01:02:58,120
Speaker 12: caused and created the increased prices that all of our

1140
01:02:58,160 --> 01:02:59,520
Speaker 12: citizens had to endure.

1141
01:02:59,560 --> 01:03:18,959
Speaker 13: You cause that problem, You caused that problem.

1142
01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:20,880
Speaker 12: They knew their statements who were a lie.

1143
01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:21,440
Speaker 2: They knew it.

1144
01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:26,320
Speaker 12: They knew their statements were a dirty, rotten lie. Their

1145
01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:32,200
Speaker 12: policies created the high prices. Our policies are rapidly ending them.

1146
01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:36,800
Speaker 12: We are doing really well. Those prices are plummeting downward.

1147
01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:50,880
Speaker 12: The price of eggs is down sixty percent. Madam Secretary,

1148
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:51,320
Speaker 12: thank you.

1149
01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:52,720
Speaker 1: The cost of.

1150
01:03:52,760 --> 01:03:57,920
Speaker 12: Chicken, butter fruit, hotels, automobiles rent is lower today than

1151
01:03:57,920 --> 01:04:00,960
Speaker 12: when I took office by a lot, and even beef,

1152
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:05,040
Speaker 12: which was very high, is starting to come down significantly.

1153
01:04:05,080 --> 01:04:06,960
Speaker 12: This hold on a little while, we get it down,

1154
01:04:07,720 --> 01:04:11,280
Speaker 12: and soon you will see numbers that few people would

1155
01:04:11,320 --> 01:04:15,240
Speaker 12: think were possible to achieve just a short time. Will go.

1156
01:04:16,560 --> 01:04:20,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, it does happen overnight, but I would definitely say

1157
01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:24,000
Speaker 1: things are trending in the right direction pretty much as

1158
01:04:24,120 --> 01:04:26,760
Speaker 1: my last guest leader. Let's get to some of the

1159
01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:29,439
Speaker 1: phone calls and we'll start with Ken and Mason and Ken,

1160
01:04:29,480 --> 01:04:31,560
Speaker 1: you're back on seven hundred WIW.

1161
01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:34,480
Speaker 14: Got a great show going on tonight, Dan.

1162
01:04:34,600 --> 01:04:35,200
Speaker 1: Thanks Ken.

1163
01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:38,440
Speaker 14: I think a couple of things became crystal clear last night.

1164
01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:41,480
Speaker 14: I hope all the viewers saw it that the Democrats

1165
01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:47,280
Speaker 14: really a democratic mafia. They're absolutely opposed to getting rid

1166
01:04:47,320 --> 01:04:51,040
Speaker 14: of illegal citizens. They want the illegal citizens they can get.

1167
01:04:51,080 --> 01:04:54,240
Speaker 14: They didn't stand up to anything. They would rather work

1168
01:04:54,280 --> 01:04:58,520
Speaker 14: with the illegal citizens and American citizens. And when you

1169
01:04:58,560 --> 01:05:03,640
Speaker 14: watch Talida Rashiv Elanomar yelling and screaming when Trump's pointing

1170
01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:07,080
Speaker 14: out all the fraud, you know, you see people, they

1171
01:05:07,120 --> 01:05:10,520
Speaker 14: are not Americans, Jo, and you're listening, I see, you

1172
01:05:10,640 --> 01:05:15,360
Speaker 14: understand Talida Rashiev and Elanomar. Every election they won has

1173
01:05:15,400 --> 01:05:19,640
Speaker 14: been because of illegal votes. Both Michigan and Minnesota give

1174
01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:23,600
Speaker 14: driver's license to illegal aliens, and all you need to

1175
01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:26,200
Speaker 14: vote in those states are a driver's license, and then

1176
01:05:26,240 --> 01:05:30,640
Speaker 14: they call those legal votes. And these two ladies are

1177
01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:34,720
Speaker 14: no more American than anybody on earth. They hate America.

1178
01:05:34,760 --> 01:05:37,480
Speaker 14: And it became crystal clear last night what they're all about.

1179
01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:40,320
Speaker 1: Well, they got bent out of shape when when Trump

1180
01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:46,080
Speaker 1: was trying to talk about protecting Americans first, you know,

1181
01:05:46,320 --> 01:05:50,280
Speaker 1: when he was talking about how it's it's the job

1182
01:05:50,520 --> 01:05:55,000
Speaker 1: of the administration to protect the American people, not illegal aliens.

1183
01:05:55,360 --> 01:05:58,880
Speaker 1: When he talked about some accountability for all the fraud

1184
01:05:58,880 --> 01:06:01,320
Speaker 1: that's been going on. I mean, that's when Ilhan Omar

1185
01:06:01,480 --> 01:06:04,840
Speaker 1: got completely bent out of shape and her and Rashida Talib.

1186
01:06:05,120 --> 01:06:08,920
Speaker 1: I think at least in that instance, it made pretty

1187
01:06:08,920 --> 01:06:12,480
Speaker 1: clear what their agenda is, and their agenda has nothing

1188
01:06:12,520 --> 01:06:16,160
Speaker 1: to do with the greatness of America or doing anything

1189
01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:17,160
Speaker 1: for the American people.

1190
01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:20,160
Speaker 14: And Dan and one other thing I wanted to bring

1191
01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:24,200
Speaker 14: out tonight, there was explosive news. Today, over three hundred

1192
01:06:24,280 --> 01:06:27,520
Speaker 14: thousand pages were released in the State of George about

1193
01:06:27,520 --> 01:06:32,480
Speaker 14: how corrupt Fanny Willis Jack Smith the January sixth commission

1194
01:06:32,520 --> 01:06:36,560
Speaker 14: really are that was all engineered by the Attorney General.

1195
01:06:36,840 --> 01:06:38,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know it complete.

1196
01:06:38,960 --> 01:06:41,640
Speaker 1: I've got that report right here.

1197
01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:45,880
Speaker 14: Complete corruption. Fanny Willis is going to end up in prison.

1198
01:06:46,760 --> 01:06:49,320
Speaker 1: Well she, I mean, it shows again how the Biden

1199
01:06:49,400 --> 01:06:53,840
Speaker 1: it was the Biden administration that was completely hands on

1200
01:06:54,040 --> 01:06:57,800
Speaker 1: with the Fulton County District Attorney Fanny Willis, Fanny Willis

1201
01:06:58,160 --> 01:07:00,720
Speaker 1: or Fannie I guess she likes to be called. But

1202
01:07:01,120 --> 01:07:05,800
Speaker 1: they were coordinating extensively with the Biden Justice Department on

1203
01:07:05,880 --> 01:07:11,320
Speaker 1: the January sixth Investigative Committee. So and I mean, this

1204
01:07:11,400 --> 01:07:14,160
Speaker 1: had to do with the twenty twenty election results and

1205
01:07:14,200 --> 01:07:19,200
Speaker 1: everything else, and it was the Biden administration that was

1206
01:07:19,240 --> 01:07:22,360
Speaker 1: front and center on that. And we saw, ay, we

1207
01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:27,280
Speaker 1: saw the how the Biden administration was working closely with

1208
01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:32,800
Speaker 1: the Jack Smith and it's the corruption of the Biden administration.

1209
01:07:33,560 --> 01:07:35,760
Speaker 1: Absolutely knew no bounds whatsoever.

1210
01:07:37,120 --> 01:07:41,200
Speaker 14: Mary Garland is the most corrupt Attorney General of all time.

1211
01:07:41,240 --> 01:07:45,200
Speaker 14: He has never forgiven Mitch McConnell from preventing him from come,

1212
01:07:45,760 --> 01:07:49,600
Speaker 14: preventing him from becoming a Supreme Court justice, and his

1213
01:07:49,760 --> 01:07:53,840
Speaker 14: actions are so corrupt. This party, they're the mafia. People

1214
01:07:53,880 --> 01:07:56,880
Speaker 14: need to accept that they're the mafia. I mean, what

1215
01:07:56,960 --> 01:07:59,400
Speaker 14: they've tried to do to Trump. Trump is the most

1216
01:07:59,480 --> 01:08:02,560
Speaker 14: miraculous ME and I have ever seen to overcome all

1217
01:08:03,040 --> 01:08:05,520
Speaker 14: the bull crap you had to deal with from one

1218
01:08:05,600 --> 01:08:07,760
Speaker 14: court case to another. You know, I'm part of the

1219
01:08:07,800 --> 01:08:10,520
Speaker 14: commission to report today dan As. You know they tried

1220
01:08:10,560 --> 01:08:14,600
Speaker 14: to They tried tried four different times in four different

1221
01:08:14,640 --> 01:08:19,840
Speaker 14: areas on the same crime, which is totally unconstitutional. I mean,

1222
01:08:19,920 --> 01:08:22,200
Speaker 14: these people knew no bound.

1223
01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:25,120
Speaker 1: Well and they and every one of those prosecutions fell

1224
01:08:25,160 --> 01:08:29,479
Speaker 1: apart because they were on the flimsiest of legal ground

1225
01:08:29,520 --> 01:08:33,880
Speaker 1: to begin with, and over time those cases could not

1226
01:08:33,960 --> 01:08:36,760
Speaker 1: be sustained and there was no substance to them. So

1227
01:08:36,800 --> 01:08:38,000
Speaker 1: all those cases fell apart.

1228
01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:41,519
Speaker 14: And Fanny Willis spent about two hundred and fifty thousand

1229
01:08:41,560 --> 01:08:45,639
Speaker 14: dollars of taxpayer's money on dinners and trips and everything

1230
01:08:45,680 --> 01:08:48,880
Speaker 14: else to take her boyfriend who was part of the commission.

1231
01:08:50,439 --> 01:08:52,439
Speaker 14: She is one of the most corrupt human beings. She

1232
01:08:52,560 --> 01:08:55,759
Speaker 14: will up in prison that lady will go to prison.

1233
01:08:55,880 --> 01:08:57,439
Speaker 14: You think it's all said and done.

1234
01:08:57,400 --> 01:08:59,200
Speaker 1: You think are we are we ever going to see

1235
01:08:59,200 --> 01:09:00,960
Speaker 1: any accountability for any of this stuff.

1236
01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:04,200
Speaker 14: I think it's going to start to happen. I mean,

1237
01:09:04,240 --> 01:09:09,200
Speaker 14: you talk about Spanburger from Virginia, I mean pure Sololenski,

1238
01:09:09,840 --> 01:09:14,519
Speaker 14: pure solid accusing Trump of exactly what she's doing. She's

1239
01:09:14,560 --> 01:09:17,920
Speaker 14: the one line. Everything she said was a distortion and

1240
01:09:18,040 --> 01:09:21,120
Speaker 14: a lie and a sham. I mean, they're starting to

1241
01:09:21,160 --> 01:09:23,000
Speaker 14: tax people for walking their dog.

1242
01:09:23,200 --> 01:09:26,479
Speaker 1: Now, yeah, I know, I've got the list right here,

1243
01:09:26,520 --> 01:09:29,960
Speaker 1: and she you know, she's talking about how on day

1244
01:09:30,040 --> 01:09:32,919
Speaker 1: one she went to work for the people of Virginia

1245
01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:37,200
Speaker 1: the lower prices and have more affordability. But what she

1246
01:09:37,320 --> 01:09:40,240
Speaker 1: forgot to talk about was the Democrat Party in the

1247
01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:44,599
Speaker 1: fifty new taxes that they've proposed for all of Virginia.

1248
01:09:45,080 --> 01:09:47,200
Speaker 1: And you talk about a gun and amo tax, you go,

1249
01:09:47,360 --> 01:09:51,400
Speaker 1: there's a large employer tax, there's new income tax brackets,

1250
01:09:51,800 --> 01:09:55,880
Speaker 1: there's new car taxes and highway user fees. You have

1251
01:09:55,920 --> 01:09:58,360
Speaker 1: a storage facility, you got to pay a tax on that.

1252
01:09:58,720 --> 01:10:00,880
Speaker 1: You want some counseling, You're going to pay a tax

1253
01:10:00,920 --> 01:10:03,439
Speaker 1: on that. You ever do any dry cleaning? Ken, are

1254
01:10:03,479 --> 01:10:06,200
Speaker 1: you going to pay a tax on that? You ever

1255
01:10:06,240 --> 01:10:08,679
Speaker 1: have any repairs done to your home? Guess what, there's

1256
01:10:08,720 --> 01:10:11,559
Speaker 1: a new tax for that. I mean, this is this

1257
01:10:11,600 --> 01:10:14,479
Speaker 1: is what the Democrats do. And then of course they

1258
01:10:14,479 --> 01:10:16,759
Speaker 1: want to sit there and point the finger at people

1259
01:10:16,840 --> 01:10:19,559
Speaker 1: like Trump for everything going to hell in a handbask.

1260
01:10:20,520 --> 01:10:23,559
Speaker 14: That's their answer for everything, Dan, we spoke about it

1261
01:10:23,640 --> 01:10:26,160
Speaker 14: last week. All they know how to do is tax.

1262
01:10:26,520 --> 01:10:29,240
Speaker 14: They have no agenda, they have no policies, they have

1263
01:10:29,320 --> 01:10:32,559
Speaker 14: no way of making anything better. And you know when

1264
01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:35,960
Speaker 14: she was saying the economy was worse, ever, first of all,

1265
01:10:36,600 --> 01:10:40,120
Speaker 14: Trump took over a wrecked economy, a wreck and as

1266
01:10:40,160 --> 01:10:43,240
Speaker 14: your previous guest just said, it's you know, you don't

1267
01:10:43,360 --> 01:10:45,960
Speaker 14: you can't solve that in a year. It's going to

1268
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:48,240
Speaker 14: take some time. But people are going to start and

1269
01:10:48,280 --> 01:10:51,759
Speaker 14: see in May. You know when Jerome Powll is gone,

1270
01:10:51,920 --> 01:10:54,439
Speaker 14: how everything is going to start to improve, drastic home

1271
01:10:55,080 --> 01:10:58,320
Speaker 14: you know, interest rates will go below three percent, Grocery

1272
01:10:58,360 --> 01:11:00,720
Speaker 14: prices are going to come down. You know, all the

1273
01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:03,320
Speaker 14: things he's doing for the babies when they're born now,

1274
01:11:03,360 --> 01:11:05,880
Speaker 14: creating accounts for him, all that stuff is going to

1275
01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:08,680
Speaker 14: start to take effect. I just hope people you know,

1276
01:11:09,080 --> 01:11:11,280
Speaker 14: are smart enough to see. And you know, I don't

1277
01:11:11,320 --> 01:11:15,920
Speaker 14: trust anything the media ever says. You know, seven hundred

1278
01:11:15,960 --> 01:11:20,080
Speaker 14: WLW just shocks me to death. Dand how liberal they've become.

1279
01:11:20,520 --> 01:11:23,479
Speaker 14: I mean, and I just sit there and we talk

1280
01:11:23,560 --> 01:11:26,360
Speaker 14: about things, and I know your conservative bent. But then

1281
01:11:26,400 --> 01:11:28,880
Speaker 14: I hear the station it's they're so liberal. I can't

1282
01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:31,599
Speaker 14: believe it. And you read the inquir you know, they

1283
01:11:31,640 --> 01:11:34,920
Speaker 14: are the most liberal newspaper I've ever read. Susan Page

1284
01:11:35,439 --> 01:11:40,599
Speaker 14: is absolutely you know, far gone. These people, like Trump

1285
01:11:40,680 --> 01:11:44,519
Speaker 14: said last night, are crazy. Well, I mean, and they

1286
01:11:44,640 --> 01:11:45,240
Speaker 14: truly are.

1287
01:11:45,800 --> 01:11:50,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. You know, when when you can't stand for prioritizing

1288
01:11:50,800 --> 01:11:55,559
Speaker 1: American citizens over illegal aliens, when you can't stand for

1289
01:11:55,880 --> 01:12:00,240
Speaker 1: securing the homeland getting rid of criminal illegal aliens. I'm

1290
01:12:00,240 --> 01:12:03,960
Speaker 1: talking about killers and rapists and gang members and traffickers

1291
01:12:03,960 --> 01:12:07,439
Speaker 1: and drug dealers and people who traffic little kids and

1292
01:12:07,479 --> 01:12:11,040
Speaker 1: the sex trafficking. You know, when you can't stand for

1293
01:12:11,160 --> 01:12:14,800
Speaker 1: cutting the flow of fentanyl into our country, When you

1294
01:12:14,880 --> 01:12:18,599
Speaker 1: can't stand for the murder rate dropping to the lowest

1295
01:12:18,680 --> 01:12:21,240
Speaker 1: number in one hundred and twenty five years, When you

1296
01:12:21,280 --> 01:12:25,559
Speaker 1: can't stand for a World War II hero who got

1297
01:12:25,600 --> 01:12:30,920
Speaker 1: the why should why should a couple of service members

1298
01:12:31,560 --> 01:12:35,439
Speaker 1: getting the Medal of honor? You had the the other one,

1299
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:40,080
Speaker 1: the kid from the Coastguard getting the Legion of Merit.

1300
01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:43,479
Speaker 1: You had the other one, the guardsman who was shot,

1301
01:12:43,880 --> 01:12:48,479
Speaker 1: who took a bullet just being on duty in the

1302
01:12:48,479 --> 01:12:51,120
Speaker 1: streets of DC, took a bullet to the head, got

1303
01:12:51,160 --> 01:12:54,040
Speaker 1: a purple heart. You know, when you have the American

1304
01:12:54,080 --> 01:12:56,880
Speaker 1: hockey team that just want a gold medal, come in

1305
01:12:57,160 --> 01:13:00,280
Speaker 1: when we if we can't even find common ground owned

1306
01:13:01,040 --> 01:13:04,800
Speaker 1: on those issues, those are not political issues. And it's

1307
01:13:04,840 --> 01:13:06,560
Speaker 1: like I talked about at the very beginning of the

1308
01:13:06,600 --> 01:13:11,479
Speaker 1: program tonight, there have been multiple times, many times when

1309
01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:18,639
Speaker 1: when you had Olympic athletes win gold medals and win

1310
01:13:18,800 --> 01:13:23,360
Speaker 1: championships in the Olympics under presidents that I didn't particularly

1311
01:13:23,400 --> 01:13:26,919
Speaker 1: care for. But that didn't stop me from celebrating those athletes.

1312
01:13:27,280 --> 01:13:29,680
Speaker 1: That didn't stop me from saying they shouldn't go to

1313
01:13:29,720 --> 01:13:33,599
Speaker 1: the White House. That didn't stop me from being any

1314
01:13:33,680 --> 01:13:37,720
Speaker 1: less proud to be an American. But yet somehow, I mean,

1315
01:13:37,720 --> 01:13:39,280
Speaker 1: if you look at some of the stuff that the

1316
01:13:39,360 --> 01:13:43,400
Speaker 1: left put out when it comes to their reaction to

1317
01:13:43,840 --> 01:13:46,400
Speaker 1: the USA hockey team, I mean they're having the You

1318
01:13:46,520 --> 01:13:50,599
Speaker 1: got the Huffington Post talking about how it was hard

1319
01:13:50,640 --> 01:13:53,760
Speaker 1: to watch the American hockey team celebrating in the locker

1320
01:13:53,840 --> 01:13:57,600
Speaker 1: room just because cash Pttel was there USA Today and

1321
01:13:57,640 --> 01:14:00,479
Speaker 1: op ed that the team failed to to meet the

1322
01:14:00,520 --> 01:14:04,960
Speaker 1: cultural what's the cultural moment that the USA hockey team

1323
01:14:05,040 --> 01:14:07,719
Speaker 1: was supposed to meet? Stand up and say no to Trump?

1324
01:14:08,400 --> 01:14:13,680
Speaker 1: Is that culturally acceptable? To the to the writers at

1325
01:14:13,800 --> 01:14:17,120
Speaker 1: USA Today, is that what we're supposed to expect. We

1326
01:14:17,160 --> 01:14:21,080
Speaker 1: can't even find common ground on celebrating the United States

1327
01:14:21,120 --> 01:14:23,960
Speaker 1: hockey team winning a gold medal. We're in a lot

1328
01:14:23,960 --> 01:14:26,640
Speaker 1: worse shape than it than probably most of us realize.

1329
01:14:27,160 --> 01:14:29,439
Speaker 14: Well, what the Goldberg today on the Views said that

1330
01:14:29,560 --> 01:14:32,160
Speaker 14: trus didn't celebrate any of the black athletes. All you

1331
01:14:32,280 --> 01:14:34,040
Speaker 14: celebrate was the white hockey team.

1332
01:14:34,800 --> 01:14:36,479
Speaker 2: And I'm sitting there, God's sake.

1333
01:14:36,720 --> 01:14:42,360
Speaker 14: This is amazing, absolutely amazing. Trump said, these people are crazy.

1334
01:14:42,520 --> 01:14:45,920
Speaker 14: The listeners have got to understand. The midterms coming up

1335
01:14:46,520 --> 01:14:49,160
Speaker 14: are the most important of all time. We say that

1336
01:14:49,240 --> 01:14:51,120
Speaker 14: almost every time, but it's getting to be the truth.

1337
01:14:51,840 --> 01:14:54,360
Speaker 14: You know, like Trump said last night, we just barely

1338
01:14:54,439 --> 01:14:56,719
Speaker 14: stopped what they were doing. We were on the edge

1339
01:14:57,120 --> 01:14:59,360
Speaker 14: we've just barely stopped it. We're beginning to turn a

1340
01:14:59,439 --> 01:15:02,240
Speaker 14: ship around and get things going in the right direction.

1341
01:15:02,360 --> 01:15:05,880
Speaker 14: We can't let these people destroy everything we've got because

1342
01:15:05,880 --> 01:15:09,439
Speaker 14: that's their goal. It's all about power. They want to

1343
01:15:09,479 --> 01:15:12,840
Speaker 14: take your power and your freedom away from you. People

1344
01:15:12,880 --> 01:15:15,280
Speaker 14: need to understand that all they're going to do is

1345
01:15:15,320 --> 01:15:18,800
Speaker 14: watch last night. They don't care about Americans. They care

1346
01:15:18,800 --> 01:15:22,960
Speaker 14: about illegal aliens because they can't win an election. They

1347
01:15:23,000 --> 01:15:26,000
Speaker 14: can't win an election without cheating. They need all the

1348
01:15:26,080 --> 01:15:30,160
Speaker 14: illegals voting, and they give them a driver's side so

1349
01:15:30,200 --> 01:15:31,559
Speaker 14: they can make sure they vote.

1350
01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:34,920
Speaker 1: People, you need to understand, well when you when Trump

1351
01:15:34,960 --> 01:15:39,840
Speaker 1: said pass the Save America Act that calls for identification,

1352
01:15:40,040 --> 01:15:42,679
Speaker 1: for voter identification when you go to register to vote

1353
01:15:42,720 --> 01:15:44,760
Speaker 1: and then you show your ID when you when you

1354
01:15:45,240 --> 01:15:48,320
Speaker 1: turn up to vote in person. They couldn't. They couldn't

1355
01:15:48,360 --> 01:15:51,400
Speaker 1: stand for that either. No, we can't. We still have

1356
01:15:51,479 --> 01:15:55,480
Speaker 1: to go along with this narrative that women and minorities

1357
01:15:55,720 --> 01:15:59,720
Speaker 1: and blacks are just don't have the wherewithal, just really

1358
01:15:59,760 --> 01:16:01,479
Speaker 1: don't have what it takes to be able to go

1359
01:16:01,520 --> 01:16:04,880
Speaker 1: out and complete the paperwork in order to get identification.

1360
01:16:05,800 --> 01:16:09,160
Speaker 14: Well, when the Democrats are all race that say that

1361
01:16:09,360 --> 01:16:12,000
Speaker 14: is when they want to say the twenty twenty election

1362
01:16:12,240 --> 01:16:14,559
Speaker 14: wasn't rigged, And I go, well, then explain to me

1363
01:16:14,640 --> 01:16:17,000
Speaker 14: how Joe Biden got eighty one million votes in brock

1364
01:16:17,040 --> 01:16:20,559
Speaker 14: O Gama. Obama got sixty seven million, and no one

1365
01:16:20,880 --> 01:16:23,920
Speaker 14: Democrat has ever gotten more than sixty seven million votes.

1366
01:16:24,240 --> 01:16:27,639
Speaker 14: But Joe Biden got eighty one million. And that proves

1367
01:16:27,680 --> 01:16:30,120
Speaker 14: to me right on this. They can't even they don't

1368
01:16:30,120 --> 01:16:32,040
Speaker 14: know what to say when you bring that up to them, Dan,

1369
01:16:32,479 --> 01:16:33,519
Speaker 14: You know they don't know.

1370
01:16:33,520 --> 01:16:34,080
Speaker 11: What to say.

1371
01:16:34,120 --> 01:16:36,639
Speaker 14: Now that the three hundred thousand votes have been found

1372
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:41,200
Speaker 14: in Georgia, five hundred thousand found in Arizona. Now you know,

1373
01:16:41,400 --> 01:16:44,040
Speaker 14: all to all these audits we're finding out and as

1374
01:16:44,080 --> 01:16:47,000
Speaker 14: you brought up many times, not a single court case

1375
01:16:47,120 --> 01:16:51,879
Speaker 14: was ever adjunicated on the voting. The courts aren't designed

1376
01:16:51,920 --> 01:16:56,040
Speaker 14: to work. They need to develop voting courts. They can

1377
01:16:56,280 --> 01:16:57,320
Speaker 14: act immediately.

1378
01:16:57,439 --> 01:16:59,680
Speaker 1: Yeah no, yeah, we've got we've got to set up

1379
01:16:59,680 --> 01:17:02,639
Speaker 1: some court can deal with that stuff in a timely way.

1380
01:17:02,760 --> 01:17:05,240
Speaker 1: Ken from Mason as always been appreciate the phone call.

1381
01:17:05,640 --> 01:17:06,639
Speaker 1: Appreciate you listening.

1382
01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:08,599
Speaker 14: All right, Dan, you have a great one.

1383
01:17:08,600 --> 01:17:11,280
Speaker 1: All right there we go. Ken from Mason always appreciate

1384
01:17:12,040 --> 01:17:14,160
Speaker 1: appreciate him picking up. Man, I've got some more phone

1385
01:17:14,160 --> 01:17:15,559
Speaker 1: calls to get to. We're going to do that on

1386
01:17:15,600 --> 01:17:17,960
Speaker 1: what I've got tons of audio that I want to

1387
01:17:18,000 --> 01:17:22,680
Speaker 1: get to tonight. Here's let's go with Major Garrett of

1388
01:17:22,760 --> 01:17:28,759
Speaker 1: CBS News, and this was some of his analysis after

1389
01:17:28,800 --> 01:17:31,400
Speaker 1: the speech was over last night. Russ, can we hear

01:17:39,439 --> 01:17:43,240
Speaker 1: is digging up at the table. Go ahead, cut number five.

1392
01:17:44,600 --> 01:17:46,280
Speaker 1: As we have Major here at the table, I want

1393
01:17:46,320 --> 01:17:47,959
Speaker 1: to bring the conversation back here.

1394
01:17:48,080 --> 01:17:50,640
Speaker 2: To our group watching along. Major, you've seen a lot

1395
01:17:50,680 --> 01:17:52,160
Speaker 2: of these, I think more than any of us. What

1396
01:17:52,240 --> 01:17:52,920
Speaker 2: stood out to you?

1397
01:17:53,000 --> 01:17:55,559
Speaker 15: Well, look before the speech, many Republicans said, one of

1398
01:17:55,560 --> 01:17:58,600
Speaker 15: the priorities for the President was to make sure Americans

1399
01:17:58,640 --> 01:18:01,560
Speaker 15: after this speech had to send yes that the opposition

1400
01:18:01,680 --> 01:18:06,120
Speaker 15: party was off the rails, was crazy, their terminology not mine.

1401
01:18:06,320 --> 01:18:10,920
Speaker 15: Many of the contrasts the President articulated tonight were to

1402
01:18:11,040 --> 01:18:14,480
Speaker 15: drive that message forward that not only do I disagree

1403
01:18:14,520 --> 01:18:17,360
Speaker 15: with the opposition party sitting before me in Congress, but

1404
01:18:17,439 --> 01:18:19,240
Speaker 15: I disagree with them so strong and they with me

1405
01:18:19,360 --> 01:18:22,479
Speaker 15: so much that they can't even applaud basic common sense

1406
01:18:22,520 --> 01:18:25,680
Speaker 15: thing In that line that you mentioned that he added.

1407
01:18:25,360 --> 01:18:27,200
Speaker 2: To the speech, whether it was ad lived or.

1408
01:18:27,200 --> 01:18:32,599
Speaker 15: Not, the first obligation American citizens versus illegal aliens was

1409
01:18:32,680 --> 01:18:37,200
Speaker 15: meant to create a visual moment of perpetual contrasts as.

1410
01:18:37,080 --> 01:18:41,600
Speaker 1: We have major here ats Major Garrett saw it in

1411
01:18:41,680 --> 01:18:44,800
Speaker 1: real time what we're talking about today. They can't even

1412
01:18:44,800 --> 01:18:50,320
Speaker 1: applaud basic common sense things, and that should have drawn

1413
01:18:50,400 --> 01:18:53,360
Speaker 1: a major contrast in the eyes of the people who

1414
01:18:53,400 --> 01:18:56,599
Speaker 1: watched that speed, but of course looked. There are still

1415
01:18:57,160 --> 01:18:58,960
Speaker 1: for as many I don't know what the numbers are.

1416
01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:03,720
Speaker 1: Many millions watched speech last night, but the likelihood is

1417
01:19:03,720 --> 01:19:06,880
Speaker 1: is that there's many millions more who did not watch

1418
01:19:06,920 --> 01:19:09,840
Speaker 1: that speech. And so we can sit here and talk

1419
01:19:09,880 --> 01:19:12,200
Speaker 1: about state of the Union. I can talk about it

1420
01:19:12,280 --> 01:19:15,439
Speaker 1: till midnight tonight. I'll be on again tomorrow. We can

1421
01:19:15,479 --> 01:19:17,679
Speaker 1: talk it about it tomorrow night. I'm in for Mike

1422
01:19:17,720 --> 01:19:20,200
Speaker 1: Allen on Saturday morning. We could probably talk about it

1423
01:19:20,200 --> 01:19:23,680
Speaker 1: again on Saturday morning. But there are still millions more

1424
01:19:23,720 --> 01:19:26,679
Speaker 1: who never saw that speech, who never saw the way

1425
01:19:26,760 --> 01:19:34,320
Speaker 1: the Democrats conducted themselves, who will do nothing but get

1426
01:19:34,320 --> 01:19:39,360
Speaker 1: their news from and again CBS had a moment of

1427
01:19:39,560 --> 01:19:42,559
Speaker 1: at least Major Garrett did a moment of honesty there.

1428
01:19:42,600 --> 01:19:45,519
Speaker 1: I played the cut from CNN earlier where they talked

1429
01:19:45,520 --> 01:19:50,000
Speaker 1: about their polling, how the majority of people that they

1430
01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:54,920
Speaker 1: were with that were responding to them watching the watching

1431
01:19:54,960 --> 01:19:57,960
Speaker 1: the State of the Union speech, and they were gauging

1432
01:19:58,000 --> 01:20:02,160
Speaker 1: their responses to the speech. Talked about how sixty percent

1433
01:20:03,280 --> 01:20:06,680
Speaker 1: had had a feeling that Trump's policies were going in

1434
01:20:06,720 --> 01:20:11,600
Speaker 1: the right direction. Now, the Democrats and you know, the

1435
01:20:11,600 --> 01:20:15,880
Speaker 1: people who run campaigns, there's still a great majority of

1436
01:20:15,920 --> 01:20:19,320
Speaker 1: people in this country who will never believe that any

1437
01:20:19,320 --> 01:20:21,880
Speaker 1: of that is true. Ten fifty six. We've got to

1438
01:20:21,880 --> 01:20:23,719
Speaker 1: get to a break news coming up top of the hour.

1439
01:20:23,760 --> 01:20:25,640
Speaker 1: But if you're on hold right now, we'll get to

1440
01:20:25,720 --> 01:20:27,439
Speaker 1: your phone calls after the news here at the top

1441
01:20:27,439 --> 01:20:29,800
Speaker 1: of the hour. As we roll on till midnight tonight

1442
01:20:29,840 --> 01:20:32,240
Speaker 1: on the Wednesday Night edition of The Midweek Crisis seven

1443
01:20:32,360 --> 01:20:45,120
Speaker 1: hundred WLW all right, seven hundred WLW eleven h seven,

1444
01:20:45,160 --> 01:20:48,360
Speaker 1: Final hour of the Midweek Crisis, Wednesday Night edition. The

1445
01:20:48,400 --> 01:20:50,600
Speaker 1: show is flying right by tonight. You can't believe we

1446
01:20:50,680 --> 01:20:54,200
Speaker 1: got two hours in the books already, five three seven,

1447
01:20:55,800 --> 01:20:59,960
Speaker 1: eight hundred. The big one. One of the great parts

1448
01:21:00,120 --> 01:21:03,040
Speaker 1: to the speech last night was when Trump was reviewing

1449
01:21:03,080 --> 01:21:07,439
Speaker 1: his border policies. Let's hear a little bit of that ross.

1450
01:21:07,439 --> 01:21:08,840
Speaker 1: Can we hear Coup number nine? Please?

1451
01:21:09,120 --> 01:21:13,080
Speaker 12: After four years in which millions and millions of illegal

1452
01:21:13,080 --> 01:21:17,200
Speaker 12: aliens poured across our borders, totally unvetted and unchecked, we

1453
01:21:17,280 --> 01:21:20,560
Speaker 12: now have the strongest and most secure border in American

1454
01:21:20,800 --> 01:21:38,200
Speaker 12: history by far. In the past nine months, zero illegal

1455
01:21:38,240 --> 01:21:54,880
Speaker 12: aliens have been admitted to the United States. But we

1456
01:21:54,920 --> 01:21:58,400
Speaker 12: will always allow people to come in legally, people that

1457
01:21:58,520 --> 01:22:01,719
Speaker 12: will love our country and will work hard to maintain

1458
01:22:02,240 --> 01:22:03,000
Speaker 12: our country.

1459
01:22:14,439 --> 01:22:16,000
Speaker 1: The flow of deadly.

1460
01:22:15,720 --> 01:22:19,639
Speaker 12: Fentanyl across our border is down by a record fifty

1461
01:22:20,080 --> 01:22:34,360
Speaker 12: six percent in one year, and last year the murder

1462
01:22:34,439 --> 01:22:39,080
Speaker 12: rates saw its single largest decline in recorded history. This

1463
01:22:39,160 --> 01:22:42,400
Speaker 12: is the biggest decline, think of it, in recorded history,

1464
01:22:42,439 --> 01:22:46,519
Speaker 12: the lowest number in over one hundred and twenty five

1465
01:22:47,120 --> 01:22:52,800
Speaker 12: years year nineteen hundred. In fact, substantially before my wonderful father,

1466
01:22:52,880 --> 01:22:56,360
Speaker 12: I had a wonderful father, Fred before he was born.

1467
01:22:56,920 --> 01:22:58,719
Speaker 12: Substantially before he was born.

1468
01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:02,719
Speaker 1: It's a long time time ago. That's a long time ago.

1469
01:23:03,439 --> 01:23:06,240
Speaker 1: So some good stuff there from Trump last night talking

1470
01:23:06,280 --> 01:23:08,640
Speaker 1: about his border policies. Let's go to Monroe. Then we

1471
01:23:08,720 --> 01:23:12,040
Speaker 1: got Raphael and Bond Hill Mark and Monroe Mark seven

1472
01:23:12,120 --> 01:23:13,040
Speaker 1: hundred WLW.

1473
01:23:14,360 --> 01:23:19,200
Speaker 16: Hey, Dan, you, your guests and your callers did a

1474
01:23:19,240 --> 01:23:25,520
Speaker 16: great job in assessing last night's.

1475
01:23:25,280 --> 01:23:28,760
Speaker 1: Address, the State of the Union Address. Yeah, what's your

1476
01:23:28,800 --> 01:23:29,280
Speaker 1: take on it?

1477
01:23:31,120 --> 01:23:35,040
Speaker 16: Well, I'm just going to be used a little perody

1478
01:23:35,120 --> 01:23:41,479
Speaker 16: on my take on it. Uh, I'm just gonna I

1479
01:23:41,520 --> 01:23:44,920
Speaker 16: think the Democrats should get some credit because they didn't

1480
01:23:44,920 --> 01:23:48,280
Speaker 16: bring their tattles with them this time, like at the

1481
01:23:48,520 --> 01:23:51,800
Speaker 16: Joint Session. And you know, when you tell a kid

1482
01:23:51,800 --> 01:23:54,559
Speaker 16: to sit down, a boyceous kid to sit down and

1483
01:23:54,600 --> 01:23:58,479
Speaker 16: be quiet. The Democrats pretty much got that part right.

1484
01:23:59,439 --> 01:24:03,640
Speaker 16: And uh, I think a good nickname for the Democrats

1485
01:24:03,680 --> 01:24:11,040
Speaker 16: with the the lockstep monster, because everything they do is lockstep.

1486
01:24:11,680 --> 01:24:17,000
Speaker 16: There's nothing original about them. They can't they don't take well,

1487
01:24:17,560 --> 01:24:20,839
Speaker 16: there's another plan where they can't take a stand for anything,

1488
01:24:21,439 --> 01:24:23,960
Speaker 16: because obviously they sat down the whole time.

1489
01:24:24,240 --> 01:24:27,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, almost, there's a lot of things they wouldn't stand

1490
01:24:27,240 --> 01:24:30,880
Speaker 1: for last night, so they they're pretty much showing that,

1491
01:24:31,040 --> 01:24:33,960
Speaker 1: you know, when it comes to the American government protecting

1492
01:24:34,240 --> 01:24:38,559
Speaker 1: American citizens, and not illegal aliens. That's that's not something

1493
01:24:38,600 --> 01:24:43,120
Speaker 1: that that they're interested in. When it comes to a

1494
01:24:43,160 --> 01:24:47,120
Speaker 1: moment to recognize the mother, the mother of Irena Zarutska,

1495
01:24:47,680 --> 01:24:50,040
Speaker 1: the North Carolina woman, and we saw the video of

1496
01:24:50,080 --> 01:24:53,880
Speaker 1: her stab to death on on public transit there and

1497
01:24:54,200 --> 01:24:58,559
Speaker 1: in Charlotte, a horrible thing. They couldn't recognize her mother.

1498
01:25:00,640 --> 01:25:02,840
Speaker 1: It just it just goes on and on and on,

1499
01:25:03,080 --> 01:25:06,680
Speaker 1: the kind of stuff that they are willing to and

1500
01:25:06,360 --> 01:25:09,080
Speaker 1: and for what, I mean, does any of this accrue

1501
01:25:09,080 --> 01:25:11,799
Speaker 1: to the benefit of the people of the United States.

1502
01:25:11,840 --> 01:25:13,639
Speaker 1: I don't think so well.

1503
01:25:13,680 --> 01:25:17,840
Speaker 16: I don't think shame. I don't think shame bothers them whatsoever.

1504
01:25:18,040 --> 01:25:22,240
Speaker 16: And especially you know Trump, I think his best part

1505
01:25:22,280 --> 01:25:24,360
Speaker 16: of the night. I mean, there are a lot of them,

1506
01:25:24,360 --> 01:25:29,280
Speaker 16: don't get me wrong, but when he wanted a show

1507
01:25:29,280 --> 01:25:35,640
Speaker 16: of support for protecting American citizens versus illegal aliens, I

1508
01:25:35,640 --> 01:25:38,439
Speaker 16: think that, really, I think that was his biggest moment

1509
01:25:38,479 --> 01:25:41,719
Speaker 16: of the night. I mean that that one just stood

1510
01:25:41,760 --> 01:25:43,960
Speaker 16: out above all of them. And again there was a

1511
01:25:43,960 --> 01:25:47,320
Speaker 16: lot of other good parts of the night, but I

1512
01:25:47,360 --> 01:25:49,560
Speaker 16: think that was the highlight in my opinion.

1513
01:25:49,600 --> 01:25:51,800
Speaker 1: I just wonder if this is what state of the

1514
01:25:51,920 --> 01:25:55,439
Speaker 1: Union speechers are going to be from this point going forward,

1515
01:25:55,880 --> 01:25:59,519
Speaker 1: where if you have a disagreement with the president that

1516
01:25:59,640 --> 01:26:03,759
Speaker 1: you are now going to feel emboldened to to shout

1517
01:26:03,840 --> 01:26:07,599
Speaker 1: him out, shout him down, try to engage in an open,

1518
01:26:07,760 --> 01:26:11,120
Speaker 1: open debate right there on the floor. How do you

1519
01:26:11,160 --> 01:26:12,639
Speaker 1: know where where does it go from here?

1520
01:26:13,439 --> 01:26:16,200
Speaker 16: Well, let me ask you this. I mean, hal Green

1521
01:26:16,320 --> 01:26:18,360
Speaker 16: lay I support about two minutes last night?

1522
01:26:18,560 --> 01:26:22,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it seemed like maybe two maybe maybe about

1523
01:26:22,400 --> 01:26:25,920
Speaker 1: two minutes If it was that long, does he was

1524
01:26:26,160 --> 01:26:27,759
Speaker 1: he was out of there at the very beginning.

1525
01:26:28,840 --> 01:26:31,960
Speaker 16: I think Talib and Omar should have been right right

1526
01:26:32,000 --> 01:26:35,519
Speaker 16: behind him. I mean, I don't know why Mike Johnson

1527
01:26:35,640 --> 01:26:40,160
Speaker 16: was a lenient with them. And uh, you know I

1528
01:26:40,200 --> 01:26:43,080
Speaker 16: could I could read in and add because there's Islamic

1529
01:26:43,160 --> 01:26:44,280
Speaker 16: overtones and all that.

1530
01:26:44,280 --> 01:26:47,000
Speaker 1: Kind of Well I saw I saw the video of

1531
01:26:47,040 --> 01:26:50,000
Speaker 1: that part of the speech again today and Mike Johnson

1532
01:26:50,479 --> 01:26:55,000
Speaker 1: during that when when Talib and ilan Omar were shouting,

1533
01:26:55,120 --> 01:26:57,120
Speaker 1: trying to shout down the president, he was reaching for

1534
01:26:57,160 --> 01:27:00,160
Speaker 1: the gavel and he was he was getting ready to

1535
01:27:00,240 --> 01:27:02,560
Speaker 1: hit the gabble. But I guess, I don't know, I

1536
01:27:02,560 --> 01:27:05,519
Speaker 1: guess things got got under control to his satisfaction, so

1537
01:27:05,560 --> 01:27:06,360
Speaker 1: he didn't feel.

1538
01:27:06,120 --> 01:27:06,720
Speaker 2: The need to do that.

1539
01:27:07,120 --> 01:27:12,720
Speaker 16: Yeah, I was watching the body language with him in particular,

1540
01:27:12,840 --> 01:27:17,840
Speaker 16: but he was really taken with the you know, the

1541
01:27:17,960 --> 01:27:21,920
Speaker 16: incident with the pork Dale and you know, the ones

1542
01:27:21,960 --> 01:27:25,240
Speaker 16: that got murdered and all that kind of stuff. So

1543
01:27:25,320 --> 01:27:28,599
Speaker 16: I mean, at least you're watching the guy that has

1544
01:27:29,200 --> 01:27:32,240
Speaker 16: you know, some some heart out there, you know.

1545
01:27:32,400 --> 01:27:35,640
Speaker 1: And yeah, well the day before and I was on

1546
01:27:35,960 --> 01:27:41,320
Speaker 1: for Cunningham yesterday and and he the day before yesterday

1547
01:27:41,360 --> 01:27:43,880
Speaker 1: he had an event at the White House where he

1548
01:27:43,960 --> 01:27:46,240
Speaker 1: had the Angel Families in there. And these are families

1549
01:27:46,240 --> 01:27:51,040
Speaker 1: who had lost a family member to illegal aliens, whether

1550
01:27:51,080 --> 01:27:53,280
Speaker 1: they got you know, someone got killed by a drunk

1551
01:27:53,320 --> 01:27:57,120
Speaker 1: driver or someone was just outright murdered by an illegal alien.

1552
01:27:57,160 --> 01:27:59,000
Speaker 1: He had them into the White House and they came

1553
01:27:59,040 --> 01:28:01,439
Speaker 1: and told their stories, and I mean it was really

1554
01:28:01,479 --> 01:28:05,000
Speaker 1: some beautiful and some powerful and and some a very

1555
01:28:05,040 --> 01:28:08,240
Speaker 1: painful testimony that these families had. But when you talk

1556
01:28:08,240 --> 01:28:11,479
Speaker 1: about a guy who cares, who genuinely cares about these people,

1557
01:28:12,439 --> 01:28:14,439
Speaker 1: that that is what Trump does. But none of that

1558
01:28:14,479 --> 01:28:15,439
Speaker 1: ever gets reported on.

1559
01:28:15,520 --> 01:28:19,120
Speaker 16: It is Yeah, CEO, there's a broad spectrum. I mean,

1560
01:28:19,280 --> 01:28:24,960
Speaker 16: like I said, there's a tremendous where you know, you know,

1561
01:28:25,120 --> 01:28:29,519
Speaker 16: give credit where credits do. As far as I'm concerned, Uh,

1562
01:28:30,080 --> 01:28:35,000
Speaker 16: Trump and a Republicans did really great, and I think

1563
01:28:35,040 --> 01:28:41,640
Speaker 16: the left it miserably poor. So that's my assessment at the.

1564
01:28:41,720 --> 01:28:44,320
Speaker 1: Night, Mark. I appreciate the phone call, and I appreciate

1565
01:28:44,400 --> 01:28:45,240
Speaker 1: you listening, my friend.

1566
01:28:45,880 --> 01:28:46,439
Speaker 16: Okay, thank you.

1567
01:28:46,479 --> 01:28:48,120
Speaker 1: All right, there you go, Mark, have a great night.

1568
01:28:48,160 --> 01:28:50,479
Speaker 1: Let's go to bond Hill. We'll say hey to Rafael.

1569
01:28:50,520 --> 01:28:53,720
Speaker 1: Then we got Chris in Cincinnati and Raphael. What's going

1570
01:28:53,760 --> 01:28:54,240
Speaker 1: on tonight?

1571
01:28:55,200 --> 01:28:57,280
Speaker 5: Everything's good, brother, Dan? How are you?

1572
01:28:57,600 --> 01:28:59,400
Speaker 1: I'm living the dream man here at the Big One.

1573
01:28:59,400 --> 01:28:59,960
Speaker 1: What's going on?

1574
01:29:00,880 --> 01:29:06,719
Speaker 5: No doubt, no doubt. Hey Dan, you got to help.

1575
01:29:06,560 --> 01:29:07,000
Speaker 2: Me out here.

1576
01:29:07,040 --> 01:29:08,200
Speaker 1: I always got to rely.

1577
01:29:08,080 --> 01:29:08,760
Speaker 2: On you, you know.

1578
01:29:09,320 --> 01:29:16,160
Speaker 5: But when Don John took office the second time around,

1579
01:29:17,600 --> 01:29:19,720
Speaker 5: and I think that it was some shadiness going on

1580
01:29:19,800 --> 01:29:21,720
Speaker 5: with him getting in, but that's for another day.

1581
01:29:22,280 --> 01:29:24,840
Speaker 1: But well you don't. You don't have any evidence of that,

1582
01:29:24,960 --> 01:29:25,800
Speaker 1: So that's I.

1583
01:29:25,800 --> 01:29:28,760
Speaker 5: Don't need it. I don't need it. There's no evidence that.

1584
01:29:32,920 --> 01:29:41,639
Speaker 1: There's a lot more evidence, yes, okay, but anyway, hey Dan, So.

1585
01:29:43,560 --> 01:29:48,040
Speaker 5: When Don John took office this second time around, the

1586
01:29:48,280 --> 01:29:54,639
Speaker 5: very second after that, everything after that he owns. It's

1587
01:29:54,640 --> 01:29:58,680
Speaker 5: just on his watch. It's got nothing to do with

1588
01:29:58,760 --> 01:30:02,800
Speaker 5: any prior president or anything like that. It's all on him.

1589
01:30:02,960 --> 01:30:07,240
Speaker 5: And shortly after taking office, I don't remember the words verbatim,

1590
01:30:07,360 --> 01:30:10,960
Speaker 5: but he said that this and that and this and

1591
01:30:11,000 --> 01:30:14,200
Speaker 5: that and everything like you just wait and see, we're

1592
01:30:14,200 --> 01:30:16,840
Speaker 5: gonna fix that. We're gonna bring that down, gonna get

1593
01:30:16,880 --> 01:30:21,519
Speaker 5: rid of that. Everything's gonna in that national debt that's.

1594
01:30:21,320 --> 01:30:22,160
Speaker 2: Going to come down.

1595
01:30:22,240 --> 01:30:24,400
Speaker 5: You just wait and see, we're going to get rid

1596
01:30:24,439 --> 01:30:28,679
Speaker 5: of like that. And since he's taken office, the national

1597
01:30:28,720 --> 01:30:37,120
Speaker 5: debt has risen approximately two dollars, yes or no, Uh no,

1598
01:30:37,240 --> 01:30:37,840
Speaker 5: you're right.

1599
01:30:37,840 --> 01:30:40,240
Speaker 1: The debt has gone up. I don't know the exact number,

1600
01:30:40,320 --> 01:30:43,600
Speaker 1: but it has gone up in a significant way. That

1601
01:30:43,720 --> 01:30:46,479
Speaker 1: is a fact. And I've talked about that. I was

1602
01:30:46,479 --> 01:30:48,760
Speaker 1: talking about Who's what did you hear? Did you hear?

1603
01:30:48,800 --> 01:30:51,840
Speaker 1: My guest? Earlier tonight? We were talking about that earlier tonight.

1604
01:30:53,479 --> 01:30:55,240
Speaker 5: I heard some of it.

1605
01:30:55,240 --> 01:30:55,800
Speaker 1: But I don't know.

1606
01:30:56,479 --> 01:30:59,880
Speaker 5: I don't remember hearing the part about the debt specifically.

1607
01:31:00,160 --> 01:31:03,360
Speaker 5: But my point is is that that's on his watch,

1608
01:31:04,720 --> 01:31:09,320
Speaker 5: and in his first administration, where he got help from

1609
01:31:09,360 --> 01:31:11,360
Speaker 5: pootying them and over there in the Kremlin.

1610
01:31:12,040 --> 01:31:17,320
Speaker 1: But no, why are you saying that? Are you You're

1611
01:31:17,320 --> 01:31:20,519
Speaker 1: still are you're still buying all the the the Russia

1612
01:31:20,560 --> 01:31:23,880
Speaker 1: Russia Russia stuff? Are you still still all that all

1613
01:31:23,920 --> 01:31:27,439
Speaker 1: that has been totally and completely debunked?

1614
01:31:28,080 --> 01:31:28,320
Speaker 14: Are you?

1615
01:31:28,560 --> 01:31:30,720
Speaker 1: I mean, do you want to relitigate the whole Russia thing?

1616
01:31:31,840 --> 01:31:32,080
Speaker 5: No?

1617
01:31:32,680 --> 01:31:37,080
Speaker 1: I mean the FISA courts were lied to. James Coney,

1618
01:31:37,160 --> 01:31:41,400
Speaker 1: the FBI director, signed off on fraudulent warrants, the uh,

1619
01:31:42,120 --> 01:31:47,080
Speaker 1: the whole Steele dossier. I mean, all that stuff, fake phony,

1620
01:31:47,200 --> 01:31:50,360
Speaker 1: fraudulent as the day is long. And it was Barack

1621
01:31:50,439 --> 01:31:54,639
Speaker 1: Hussein Obama who had meetings in the Oval Office and

1622
01:31:54,760 --> 01:31:58,040
Speaker 1: signed off on it with the Hillary Clinton campaign to

1623
01:31:58,120 --> 01:32:01,720
Speaker 1: try and create this phony narrative about the Trump ban

1624
01:32:01,760 --> 01:32:06,880
Speaker 1: inca hoots with the Russians in Vladimir Putin. All fake,

1625
01:32:07,160 --> 01:32:11,080
Speaker 1: all phony, completely made up. Raphael, come on, man, you

1626
01:32:11,120 --> 01:32:13,040
Speaker 1: got it. You're better than you got it.

1627
01:32:13,080 --> 01:32:13,680
Speaker 16: You gotta know.

1628
01:32:13,960 --> 01:32:17,800
Speaker 1: You can't, you cannot. You cannot come on on maybe

1629
01:32:17,800 --> 01:32:20,280
Speaker 1: some other shows on this radio station. You can come

1630
01:32:20,280 --> 01:32:22,280
Speaker 1: on and get away with that kind of stuff, But

1631
01:32:22,320 --> 01:32:25,400
Speaker 1: you can't come on my show and try and tell

1632
01:32:25,439 --> 01:32:29,839
Speaker 1: me that the whole Russia collusion thing actually happened, because

1633
01:32:29,880 --> 01:32:33,920
Speaker 1: we know anyone with any comments to anyone that's able

1634
01:32:33,960 --> 01:32:37,000
Speaker 1: to read knows that it didn't happen, that it was

1635
01:32:37,040 --> 01:32:40,160
Speaker 1: all completely fake, all completely phony.

1636
01:32:40,840 --> 01:32:44,599
Speaker 5: And during that first administration, did the debt go up

1637
01:32:44,640 --> 01:32:46,759
Speaker 5: around seven point eight trillion?

1638
01:32:49,840 --> 01:32:56,200
Speaker 1: I don't. Yes, the debt has been going up exponentially

1639
01:32:56,600 --> 01:33:00,960
Speaker 1: under the last four three or four or five administrations. Right,

1640
01:33:01,160 --> 01:33:02,440
Speaker 1: that's a major problem.

1641
01:33:03,000 --> 01:33:07,040
Speaker 5: So when Don john says that he's going to reduce

1642
01:33:07,120 --> 01:33:09,519
Speaker 5: the dead and he brought up the teris and I

1643
01:33:09,680 --> 01:33:11,599
Speaker 5: had an adverse effect in a sense.

1644
01:33:12,360 --> 01:33:15,240
Speaker 2: And why does he lie down?

1645
01:33:15,840 --> 01:33:16,080
Speaker 15: Dan?

1646
01:33:16,240 --> 01:33:22,800
Speaker 1: Why it's not a lot you did you listen, Raphael. Look,

1647
01:33:24,280 --> 01:33:27,920
Speaker 1: the ship of the ship of the economy of the

1648
01:33:28,000 --> 01:33:32,599
Speaker 1: United States is huge. It goes, it goes in one direction,

1649
01:33:33,280 --> 01:33:35,439
Speaker 1: and to be able to slow it down or turn

1650
01:33:35,479 --> 01:33:39,960
Speaker 1: it around midstream is a major undertaking. These things do

1651
01:33:40,040 --> 01:33:44,799
Speaker 1: not happen overnight. But we've got billions and billions. Apple

1652
01:33:44,840 --> 01:33:48,280
Speaker 1: has pledged over six hundred billion dollars to expand US

1653
01:33:48,320 --> 01:33:52,559
Speaker 1: manufacturing in the coming years. Navidia has committed over five

1654
01:33:52,640 --> 01:33:57,000
Speaker 1: hundred billion dollars to build AI supercomputers, You've got all

1655
01:33:57,040 --> 01:34:00,160
Speaker 1: these IBM one hundred and fifty billion dollars, Amazon one

1656
01:34:00,280 --> 01:34:03,920
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty or one hundred billion dollars for infrastructure

1657
01:34:03,920 --> 01:34:07,639
Speaker 1: in data centers. Japan is going to spend five hundred

1658
01:34:07,680 --> 01:34:14,040
Speaker 1: billion dollars on industry and gas and minerals here in

1659
01:34:14,080 --> 01:34:18,120
Speaker 1: the United States. Saudi Arabia has pledged nearly a trillion

1660
01:34:18,160 --> 01:34:21,719
Speaker 1: dollars in investments in the United States. All these things

1661
01:34:21,760 --> 01:34:24,920
Speaker 1: are in the pipeline. All these things are coming. So

1662
01:34:25,240 --> 01:34:29,960
Speaker 1: Trump wants to if I honestly, I wish Trump would

1663
01:34:30,520 --> 01:34:33,200
Speaker 1: commit himself to try and spending less. I think he

1664
01:34:33,320 --> 01:34:36,280
Speaker 1: is in some areas. But we've got six hundred billion

1665
01:34:36,439 --> 01:34:39,800
Speaker 1: in fraud every single year. That is going to be

1666
01:34:41,080 --> 01:34:44,400
Speaker 1: something major. If we can take a huge bite out

1667
01:34:44,400 --> 01:34:46,559
Speaker 1: of that amount of fraud every year. When you've got

1668
01:34:46,600 --> 01:34:48,680
Speaker 1: all these companies that are going to come to the

1669
01:34:48,800 --> 01:34:52,800
Speaker 1: United States and build new factories, create new jobs, do

1670
01:34:52,840 --> 01:34:56,679
Speaker 1: all this investment, this economy is poised to take off

1671
01:34:57,439 --> 01:35:00,120
Speaker 1: and there is going to be growth unlike we have

1672
01:35:00,200 --> 01:35:04,679
Speaker 1: seen maybe in our lifetime. That are all the different

1673
01:35:04,720 --> 01:35:07,000
Speaker 1: amount of analysts, the different people that I talk to

1674
01:35:07,640 --> 01:35:11,559
Speaker 1: that understand these economic things. That's what they all tell me.

1675
01:35:11,960 --> 01:35:16,800
Speaker 1: So there is great economic activity that is going to happen. Again,

1676
01:35:16,840 --> 01:35:19,800
Speaker 1: when you talk about unleashing the energy sector and all

1677
01:35:19,880 --> 01:35:22,719
Speaker 1: the development and all the infrastructure and all the jobs

1678
01:35:22,720 --> 01:35:27,040
Speaker 1: that get created, all the economic activity that happens around that,

1679
01:35:27,080 --> 01:35:30,320
Speaker 1: there is going to be money just flooding into the treasury.

1680
01:35:30,640 --> 01:35:35,080
Speaker 1: Now what has to happen is that just because more

1681
01:35:35,120 --> 01:35:38,080
Speaker 1: money is coming in doesn't mean it all needs to

1682
01:35:38,120 --> 01:35:40,920
Speaker 1: go out. That we have a huge spending problem in

1683
01:35:40,920 --> 01:35:44,840
Speaker 1: this country. And it's not just Democrats. Plenty of Republicans

1684
01:35:45,680 --> 01:35:49,800
Speaker 1: are and have been over the decades, responsible for out

1685
01:35:49,800 --> 01:35:53,080
Speaker 1: of control spending. So the spending is going to have

1686
01:35:53,160 --> 01:35:57,720
Speaker 1: to be rained in. I mean that's not strictly a

1687
01:35:57,800 --> 01:36:01,000
Speaker 1: right or left or Democrat or Republican or liberal or

1688
01:36:01,040 --> 01:36:04,679
Speaker 1: conservative problem. It is an American problem, and there's plenty

1689
01:36:04,680 --> 01:36:07,519
Speaker 1: of blame. And I've said this many many times, plenty

1690
01:36:07,560 --> 01:36:09,840
Speaker 1: of blame to go around. It needs to be dealt

1691
01:36:09,880 --> 01:36:12,439
Speaker 1: with in a serious manner. I don't think we're there yet,

1692
01:36:12,680 --> 01:36:15,280
Speaker 1: but I think we're going to have the economic wherewithal

1693
01:36:15,439 --> 01:36:18,559
Speaker 1: under this president to address it in a meaningful way.

1694
01:36:19,080 --> 01:36:21,960
Speaker 1: And if it doesn't get done, then that's going to

1695
01:36:22,040 --> 01:36:26,479
Speaker 1: be just an unbelievably terrible missed opportunity. But if the

1696
01:36:26,520 --> 01:36:29,280
Speaker 1: Democrats get back in control, all of this stuff is

1697
01:36:29,320 --> 01:36:31,720
Speaker 1: going to be short circuited and it's all going to

1698
01:36:31,760 --> 01:36:32,280
Speaker 1: be wasted.

1699
01:36:33,520 --> 01:36:36,160
Speaker 5: I don't necessarily believe that, real quick, Dan, And then

1700
01:36:36,160 --> 01:36:37,759
Speaker 5: I'll let you get to have the cause. I appreciate

1701
01:36:37,800 --> 01:36:43,000
Speaker 5: the time as always. Now, the fentanyl, I think Don

1702
01:36:43,120 --> 01:36:48,400
Speaker 5: John said last night that it's dropped sixty and everything now.

1703
01:36:50,439 --> 01:36:50,840
Speaker 2: I think.

1704
01:36:52,439 --> 01:36:58,040
Speaker 5: So with the borders closed, where is the fentanyl still

1705
01:36:58,200 --> 01:36:58,760
Speaker 5: slipping in?

1706
01:36:58,960 --> 01:37:02,680
Speaker 1: That's a good question. That's a good question. I mean,

1707
01:37:02,800 --> 01:37:07,840
Speaker 1: if we if we're cutting down fifties. Look, drug dealers

1708
01:37:08,160 --> 01:37:10,679
Speaker 1: are some of the most industrious people you'll ever meet.

1709
01:37:11,000 --> 01:37:13,400
Speaker 1: I mean, they've got who knows how many ways they've

1710
01:37:13,400 --> 01:37:17,599
Speaker 1: got them getting illegal drugs into the country. But uh,

1711
01:37:18,000 --> 01:37:20,800
Speaker 1: you know, look, there's no one, there's no one who

1712
01:37:20,840 --> 01:37:24,080
Speaker 1: hates illegal drugs more than Trump. So Trump is going

1713
01:37:24,160 --> 01:37:27,400
Speaker 1: to do everything he can to cut down the flow

1714
01:37:27,400 --> 01:37:27,680
Speaker 1: of that.

1715
01:37:28,520 --> 01:37:32,680
Speaker 5: But the reports are you know, by the experts in

1716
01:37:32,800 --> 01:37:37,840
Speaker 5: that seal with DA agents and you know, a drug

1717
01:37:37,920 --> 01:37:45,520
Speaker 5: enforcement and whatnot. But China is still the main culprits

1718
01:37:45,520 --> 01:37:50,719
Speaker 5: for funneling in Santandel into the United States, and I

1719
01:37:50,760 --> 01:37:54,400
Speaker 5: thought some time ago it was like over the Canadian borders,

1720
01:37:54,680 --> 01:37:59,639
Speaker 5: but it couldn't come in. He doesn't slap one hundred

1721
01:37:59,640 --> 01:38:04,400
Speaker 5: and third terrifone on President g in the gang over there.

1722
01:38:04,479 --> 01:38:08,519
Speaker 5: So I'm just wondering, like, if it's true that China

1723
01:38:08,640 --> 01:38:13,479
Speaker 5: is responsible for the influx of fentanyl into the United States,

1724
01:38:13,640 --> 01:38:17,720
Speaker 5: go out to China. Don't set up deals and bitcoin

1725
01:38:17,800 --> 01:38:20,639
Speaker 5: deals and and things like this with with China.

1726
01:38:21,640 --> 01:38:25,479
Speaker 1: Well, that's that's one of the paradoxes that that I

1727
01:38:25,520 --> 01:38:28,680
Speaker 1: think that needs to be dealt with because China is

1728
01:38:29,439 --> 01:38:32,320
Speaker 1: has definitely been doing a lot of spying and doing

1729
01:38:32,360 --> 01:38:35,000
Speaker 1: a lot of things to undermine the United States of America.

1730
01:38:35,360 --> 01:38:37,920
Speaker 1: But then on the other hand, they're a major economic

1731
01:38:37,960 --> 01:38:41,840
Speaker 1: power and you have to have engaged in trade with

1732
01:38:41,880 --> 01:38:44,800
Speaker 1: them in a certain way. So uh yeah, there's uh,

1733
01:38:45,000 --> 01:38:47,559
Speaker 1: there's a lot of issues I think as it relates

1734
01:38:47,600 --> 01:38:51,400
Speaker 1: to China and getting the drug thing under control, I

1735
01:38:51,439 --> 01:38:53,639
Speaker 1: know is something that Trump Trump wants to do. But Rafael,

1736
01:38:53,680 --> 01:38:54,479
Speaker 1: we got to get to a brain.

1737
01:38:54,479 --> 01:38:55,960
Speaker 2: I appreciate you, brother, I appreciate it.

1738
01:38:56,560 --> 01:38:59,880
Speaker 1: I appreciate the conversation. As always, Raphael and bond Hill

1739
01:39:00,080 --> 01:39:02,360
Speaker 1: five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven thousand and one,

1740
01:39:02,479 --> 01:39:04,840
Speaker 1: eight hundred, the Big One. If you want to get

1741
01:39:04,880 --> 01:39:07,320
Speaker 1: on board, we're here till midnight tonight on the Wednesday

1742
01:39:07,360 --> 01:39:11,320
Speaker 1: night edition of The Midweek Crisis on seven hundred WLW

1743
01:39:16,680 --> 01:39:20,840
Speaker 1: seven hundred WLW, Dan Carroll the Wednesday night edition of

1744
01:39:20,920 --> 01:39:24,360
Speaker 1: The Midweek Crisis. Back tomorrow night for the Thursday night edition.

1745
01:39:25,120 --> 01:39:27,720
Speaker 1: Always looking forward to that. In case you missed some

1746
01:39:27,760 --> 01:39:30,559
Speaker 1: of the idiotic things that came out of the mouth

1747
01:39:30,600 --> 01:39:34,760
Speaker 1: of Abigail Spanberger last night, here's a little taste of that.

1748
01:39:35,200 --> 01:39:36,679
Speaker 1: Russell's here cut number three.

1749
01:39:37,040 --> 01:39:40,439
Speaker 3: But as the President spoke of his perceived successes tonight,

1750
01:39:40,920 --> 01:39:45,559
Speaker 3: he continues to seed economic power and technological strength to Russia,

1751
01:39:46,280 --> 01:39:50,480
Speaker 3: bow down to China, bow down to a Russian dictator,

1752
01:39:50,560 --> 01:39:54,400
Speaker 3: and make plans for war with Iran. But as the

1753
01:39:54,400 --> 01:39:57,720
Speaker 3: President spoke of his perceived successes tonight.

1754
01:39:57,479 --> 01:40:01,920
Speaker 1: So there's maybe that's where Rafia was getting his information

1755
01:40:02,040 --> 01:40:05,640
Speaker 1: from that he was trying to tell me that the

1756
01:40:05,720 --> 01:40:07,800
Speaker 1: Trump is bound down to China. Do you really think

1757
01:40:07,840 --> 01:40:09,759
Speaker 1: do you do you really think that Trump is bound

1758
01:40:09,840 --> 01:40:15,080
Speaker 1: down the China and to Putin? I don't think so.

1759
01:40:15,880 --> 01:40:18,720
Speaker 1: One more one more Lion Democrat. Let's hear here's Chuck

1760
01:40:18,720 --> 01:40:22,240
Speaker 1: Schumer on CNN earlier today, cut for well.

1761
01:40:22,120 --> 01:40:22,559
Speaker 9: Just is it?

1762
01:40:22,600 --> 01:40:28,360
Speaker 17: What have him said? Bottom line is very simple. We

1763
01:40:28,479 --> 01:40:30,960
Speaker 17: agree we need to protect Americans.

1764
01:40:31,000 --> 01:40:31,360
Speaker 2: He's not.

1765
01:40:32,080 --> 01:40:37,479
Speaker 17: By his reckless Ice agency in Minnesota. Two Americans were killed.

1766
01:40:37,800 --> 01:40:40,479
Speaker 17: Americans are being pulled out of their cars and beaten.

1767
01:40:40,920 --> 01:40:42,120
Speaker 1: Americans houses.

1768
01:40:42,439 --> 01:40:45,960
Speaker 17: The doors are being knocked down, you know, without a warrant,

1769
01:40:46,600 --> 01:40:50,640
Speaker 17: and no other police departments in America run by Americans.

1770
01:40:51,040 --> 01:40:54,760
Speaker 17: UH has has done what Ice has done. So yes,

1771
01:40:54,880 --> 01:40:57,160
Speaker 17: we want to protect Americans. He's not doing it, and

1772
01:40:57,160 --> 01:41:00,559
Speaker 17: that's why the American people are against what Ice is doing.

1773
01:41:01,000 --> 01:41:03,759
Speaker 17: So it was legitimate and right not to stand.

1774
01:41:05,080 --> 01:41:07,479
Speaker 1: The American people are not against what Ice is doing.

1775
01:41:08,320 --> 01:41:13,479
Speaker 1: So Chuck Schumer has he has nothing left other than

1776
01:41:13,520 --> 01:41:17,680
Speaker 1: to to to mouth flat, flat outlies. Chris has been

1777
01:41:17,680 --> 01:41:19,360
Speaker 1: holding on for a while. Then we got Lewis in

1778
01:41:19,479 --> 01:41:21,440
Speaker 1: Hyde Park Chris seven hundred WLW.

1779
01:41:22,600 --> 01:41:23,360
Speaker 11: How's it going to see?

1780
01:41:23,479 --> 01:41:23,639
Speaker 14: Hey?

1781
01:41:23,680 --> 01:41:25,719
Speaker 1: Thanks for hanging on, man, I appreciate your patience.

1782
01:41:26,400 --> 01:41:29,160
Speaker 11: Think that I just got a question about the tariff

1783
01:41:29,360 --> 01:41:34,640
Speaker 11: and the refund and maybe to help me out. So

1784
01:41:35,560 --> 01:41:38,599
Speaker 11: it found illegal. So the first thing these companies do

1785
01:41:38,800 --> 01:41:41,360
Speaker 11: they're going to sue and get the money back from

1786
01:41:41,360 --> 01:41:41,879
Speaker 11: the tariffs?

1787
01:41:42,560 --> 01:41:44,280
Speaker 1: You know what, I've I've got to talk to some

1788
01:41:44,360 --> 01:41:48,439
Speaker 1: of my some of my legal experts on that it was.

1789
01:41:48,600 --> 01:41:51,840
Speaker 1: It was a section of and I don't know that

1790
01:41:51,880 --> 01:41:54,559
Speaker 1: it was that they was found illegal. It was found

1791
01:41:54,560 --> 01:41:56,920
Speaker 1: it was found that the tariffs. It was a very

1792
01:41:57,000 --> 01:42:01,479
Speaker 1: narrow section of whatever statute Trump was using to put

1793
01:42:01,520 --> 01:42:02,519
Speaker 1: these terroiffs on it.

1794
01:42:03,040 --> 01:42:05,400
Speaker 11: So it was a mistake, it was a mistake made

1795
01:42:05,439 --> 01:42:06,479
Speaker 11: by the government.

1796
01:42:06,600 --> 01:42:11,719
Speaker 1: Well it quite possibly, but the notion that the notion

1797
01:42:11,880 --> 01:42:15,599
Speaker 1: that that these companies are going to get a refund,

1798
01:42:15,600 --> 01:42:18,200
Speaker 1: and then I know there were some members of Congress

1799
01:42:18,200 --> 01:42:21,200
Speaker 1: and Democrats in Congress who were saying, all the American

1800
01:42:21,240 --> 01:42:24,599
Speaker 1: people should get a check for seven because they did

1801
01:42:24,640 --> 01:42:26,679
Speaker 1: the math and they're saying, we all the terrorists carels

1802
01:42:26,680 --> 01:42:30,040
Speaker 1: cost every man, woman and child seventeen hundred bucks something

1803
01:42:30,120 --> 01:42:32,120
Speaker 1: like that. I don't know that any of that. I

1804
01:42:32,120 --> 01:42:34,040
Speaker 1: don't know that any of that is going to go anywhere.

1805
01:42:34,680 --> 01:42:38,839
Speaker 11: So right, well, here's my question, because is it fair

1806
01:42:39,479 --> 01:42:45,120
Speaker 11: and that this has happened before, seen video, seeing core documents.

1807
01:42:45,560 --> 01:42:50,120
Speaker 11: Let's say, if let's say if you're carrying twenty thousand

1808
01:42:50,160 --> 01:42:52,160
Speaker 11: dollars in a briefcase to go buy a car in

1809
01:42:52,240 --> 01:42:56,040
Speaker 11: Las Vegas. Okay, but you're flying out there to pay

1810
01:42:56,080 --> 01:43:02,360
Speaker 11: cash for it. They take your money because they think

1811
01:43:02,400 --> 01:43:06,000
Speaker 11: that you're doing something illegal and you have everything, all

1812
01:43:06,000 --> 01:43:08,280
Speaker 11: the documents you need or see let's say, if you're

1813
01:43:08,320 --> 01:43:09,760
Speaker 11: driving a car, you get pulled.

1814
01:43:09,520 --> 01:43:12,840
Speaker 2: Over, yeah, you have it in a car rental car.

1815
01:43:13,479 --> 01:43:16,880
Speaker 11: They because they think that you're doing something illegal, they

1816
01:43:16,920 --> 01:43:19,240
Speaker 11: take your money. You go back to court and the

1817
01:43:19,280 --> 01:43:21,320
Speaker 11: course says no, you can't have your money back, or

1818
01:43:21,920 --> 01:43:23,720
Speaker 11: the police say no, we're not giving you this back

1819
01:43:23,760 --> 01:43:26,479
Speaker 11: because we think that it's illegal. Now, how is that

1820
01:43:26,640 --> 01:43:29,599
Speaker 11: fair for US citizens not to be able to get

1821
01:43:29,680 --> 01:43:33,439
Speaker 11: our own money back? There we're doing something legal, but

1822
01:43:33,840 --> 01:43:36,880
Speaker 11: when it's a mistake in the government, these big companies

1823
01:43:37,320 --> 01:43:38,599
Speaker 11: consue to get their money back.

1824
01:43:40,320 --> 01:43:43,679
Speaker 1: I have never liked that idea that if you've got

1825
01:43:43,680 --> 01:43:45,760
Speaker 1: a large amount of cash on you when you get

1826
01:43:45,760 --> 01:43:51,000
Speaker 1: stopped by a police officer for whatever reason, that they

1827
01:43:51,080 --> 01:43:54,080
Speaker 1: can see fit to confiscate that money and hold on

1828
01:43:54,160 --> 01:43:56,880
Speaker 1: to it. I don't like that. I think that was

1829
01:43:56,960 --> 01:44:00,799
Speaker 1: something that was put in place years ago to combat

1830
01:44:00,880 --> 01:44:06,120
Speaker 1: drug traffickers. But I think I think especially I would

1831
01:44:06,120 --> 01:44:09,439
Speaker 1: think that I would hope that something like that would

1832
01:44:09,439 --> 01:44:12,160
Speaker 1: get revisited and changed. I think we've got a lot

1833
01:44:12,200 --> 01:44:15,400
Speaker 1: more sophisticated methods now to be able to determine if

1834
01:44:15,400 --> 01:44:18,640
Speaker 1: someone's engaging in the drug trade. Rather than just so

1835
01:44:18,600 --> 01:44:22,839
Speaker 1: that I think there can be there can be hundreds

1836
01:44:22,840 --> 01:44:27,519
Speaker 1: thousands of reasons, legitimate reasons why people at any given

1837
01:44:27,560 --> 01:44:30,920
Speaker 1: point in time would have large amounts of cash on

1838
01:44:30,960 --> 01:44:33,880
Speaker 1: their person. I mean, I don't I don't recommend that

1839
01:44:33,960 --> 01:44:36,760
Speaker 1: you do that, but there but there are plenty of

1840
01:44:36,840 --> 01:44:40,439
Speaker 1: legitimate reasons why something like that would happen. And and

1841
01:44:40,600 --> 01:44:44,960
Speaker 1: just the notion that that money gets automatically confiscated and

1842
01:44:45,040 --> 01:44:48,000
Speaker 1: held on to until the case goes to court I

1843
01:44:48,000 --> 01:44:48,639
Speaker 1: think is wrong.

1844
01:44:49,520 --> 01:44:52,160
Speaker 11: And the case goes to court, and even if they're

1845
01:44:52,160 --> 01:44:55,280
Speaker 11: found not guilty of whatever crime of whatever they got

1846
01:44:55,280 --> 01:44:57,960
Speaker 11: put over with the police too, do not give that

1847
01:44:58,000 --> 01:44:59,000
Speaker 11: bad money back to them.

1848
01:44:59,520 --> 01:45:01,439
Speaker 1: I think they're I think there's times when people do

1849
01:45:01,520 --> 01:45:02,599
Speaker 1: get their money back.

1850
01:45:03,000 --> 01:45:05,400
Speaker 11: The times when they're doing and there's times when they haven't.

1851
01:45:05,600 --> 01:45:07,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I know I think that's I think I

1852
01:45:07,640 --> 01:45:11,360
Speaker 1: think that's wrong. I think that I've never liked that that, uh,

1853
01:45:11,800 --> 01:45:12,439
Speaker 1: that part of the one.

1854
01:45:13,320 --> 01:45:16,400
Speaker 11: But these big companies are going to sue. Said, let's

1855
01:45:16,400 --> 01:45:18,200
Speaker 11: say say, because they're the first one to file.

1856
01:45:18,360 --> 01:45:18,800
Speaker 1: I saw that.

1857
01:45:18,800 --> 01:45:21,519
Speaker 11: They said they were going to foul so and they're

1858
01:45:21,520 --> 01:45:22,880
Speaker 11: going to get their money back.

1859
01:45:24,720 --> 01:45:27,080
Speaker 1: Try I don't I don't know if they are. I

1860
01:45:27,120 --> 01:45:29,000
Speaker 1: don't know if that's going to happen. We'll see what.

1861
01:45:28,920 --> 01:45:32,400
Speaker 11: Happens with that, and then yep, let's let's revisit when

1862
01:45:32,439 --> 01:45:34,800
Speaker 11: it happens and if it's fair or not.

1863
01:45:36,040 --> 01:45:38,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see, We'll see what happens. But Chris, is

1864
01:45:38,880 --> 01:45:39,759
Speaker 1: that all you got tonight?

1865
01:45:41,080 --> 01:45:43,960
Speaker 11: Well, it wasn't. It wasn't a Democrat who said seventeen

1866
01:45:44,040 --> 01:45:47,400
Speaker 11: hundred is actually when it when it all started with

1867
01:45:47,400 --> 01:45:49,840
Speaker 11: the tariffs, Trump said he was giving everybody two thousand

1868
01:45:49,880 --> 01:45:50,599
Speaker 11: dollars checks.

1869
01:45:50,880 --> 01:45:54,720
Speaker 1: Well, that hasn't happened yet either, right, But yeah, now

1870
01:45:54,760 --> 01:45:57,160
Speaker 1: they shut those terrors. There goes my two thousand thanks

1871
01:45:57,160 --> 01:46:02,439
Speaker 1: to the Supreme Court. Chris, thanks buddy, appreciate it. Let's

1872
01:46:02,479 --> 01:46:05,200
Speaker 1: go to Hyde Park and say hey to Lewis. Lewis

1873
01:46:05,240 --> 01:46:07,160
Speaker 1: seven hundred, ww.

1874
01:46:07,760 --> 01:46:10,840
Speaker 18: Hey, Dan High, you came down pretty hard on that

1875
01:46:11,040 --> 01:46:14,599
Speaker 18: gentleman who caught up and was trying to say that

1876
01:46:15,439 --> 01:46:23,600
Speaker 18: the Putin alleged, allegedly got into the US election. But

1877
01:46:23,720 --> 01:46:30,120
Speaker 18: my question is do you think that the Trump has

1878
01:46:30,200 --> 01:46:38,719
Speaker 18: any legitimacy in saying that in the election of twenty

1879
01:46:38,760 --> 01:46:44,040
Speaker 18: twenty in Georgia that he is legitimacy in trying to

1880
01:46:44,080 --> 01:46:47,240
Speaker 18: bail out the Georgia legislature.

1881
01:46:48,600 --> 01:46:51,560
Speaker 1: Well, as far as Georgia is concerned.

1882
01:46:51,760 --> 01:46:54,439
Speaker 18: I mean, you came down hard on your you came

1883
01:46:54,479 --> 01:46:55,599
Speaker 18: down hard on that person.

1884
01:46:55,800 --> 01:46:59,960
Speaker 1: Well, Raphael, Yeah, Well, he was trying to go back

1885
01:47:00,160 --> 01:47:03,880
Speaker 1: the old narrative that has been proven to be totally fake,

1886
01:47:03,960 --> 01:47:07,200
Speaker 1: false and phony, that there was Trump a collusion with

1887
01:47:07,280 --> 01:47:08,240
Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin in.

1888
01:47:08,320 --> 01:47:12,040
Speaker 18: Russian Do you think it's false and phony that Trump

1889
01:47:12,120 --> 01:47:17,559
Speaker 18: is trying to say that the election in Georgia was stolen? Well,

1890
01:47:17,680 --> 01:47:21,120
Speaker 18: I think that's false. And the way you criticize this

1891
01:47:21,240 --> 01:47:26,680
Speaker 18: guy from your previous collar. Yeah, so you believe you believe.

1892
01:47:26,479 --> 01:47:30,599
Speaker 1: The Fulton Lewis. Look, I'm not going to do your

1893
01:47:30,640 --> 01:47:33,200
Speaker 1: work for you, but go look it up. The Fulton

1894
01:47:33,280 --> 01:47:38,200
Speaker 1: County Board of Elections has admitted that they've got I

1895
01:47:38,240 --> 01:47:40,719
Speaker 1: think the number is three hundred and twenty thousand votes

1896
01:47:41,080 --> 01:47:44,400
Speaker 1: that should have never been certified because those votes do

1897
01:47:44,520 --> 01:47:47,559
Speaker 1: not have those votes do not have the computer tapes,

1898
01:47:47,600 --> 01:47:50,759
Speaker 1: and they do not have the signatures required for the

1899
01:47:50,800 --> 01:47:53,719
Speaker 1: proper chain of custody and the way those votes should

1900
01:47:53,720 --> 01:47:56,840
Speaker 1: have been handled, and those votes should have never been

1901
01:47:57,360 --> 01:48:00,879
Speaker 1: been counted and put into the system.

1902
01:48:00,960 --> 01:48:03,640
Speaker 18: So how many times has that been looked at? And

1903
01:48:03,760 --> 01:48:05,439
Speaker 18: why do you think I'm telling you?

1904
01:48:05,680 --> 01:48:09,960
Speaker 1: Look, I'm telling the board, the Board of Elections came

1905
01:48:10,000 --> 01:48:13,240
Speaker 1: to that conclusion about three or four months ago. It's

1906
01:48:13,320 --> 01:48:16,800
Speaker 1: out there. Look it up. Well you can, you can,

1907
01:48:16,920 --> 01:48:18,920
Speaker 1: you can. You cannot believe me if you want to,

1908
01:48:18,960 --> 01:48:21,400
Speaker 1: But I'm telling you that's what that that's what happened

1909
01:48:21,400 --> 01:48:22,280
Speaker 1: in Fulton County.

1910
01:48:22,920 --> 01:48:25,160
Speaker 18: Well, what about all the other people, all the other

1911
01:48:25,280 --> 01:48:29,559
Speaker 18: election interrogations that came out that said there was no

1912
01:48:29,600 --> 01:48:32,760
Speaker 18: evidence of any any wrongdoing.

1913
01:48:32,960 --> 01:48:35,439
Speaker 1: There's all kinds, there's all kinds of there's all kinds

1914
01:48:35,479 --> 01:48:38,960
Speaker 1: of evidence out there, all kinds.

1915
01:48:39,439 --> 01:48:42,320
Speaker 18: Okay, So you're just going to believe what you want

1916
01:48:42,320 --> 01:48:46,400
Speaker 18: to believe because it's Trump And you found one study

1917
01:48:47,040 --> 01:48:51,040
Speaker 18: that said this is what this is what was found,

1918
01:48:51,240 --> 01:48:56,000
Speaker 18: even though there have been multiple other investigations that have

1919
01:48:56,080 --> 01:48:59,040
Speaker 18: found that there was no wrongdoing. So you're just picking

1920
01:48:59,080 --> 01:49:04,720
Speaker 18: on one thing to back your candidate because you cannot

1921
01:49:05,160 --> 01:49:09,040
Speaker 18: openly say that this is what's true or not.

1922
01:49:11,600 --> 01:49:15,320
Speaker 1: Well, I am not trying to relitigate the twenty twenty election.

1923
01:49:15,479 --> 01:49:18,640
Speaker 1: That is water under the bridge. That is that is

1924
01:49:18,680 --> 01:49:21,760
Speaker 1: old news. It is all said and gone. But there

1925
01:49:21,800 --> 01:49:24,080
Speaker 1: has been all kinds of evidence that has come to

1926
01:49:24,200 --> 01:49:27,680
Speaker 1: lights in the last several months that shows that there

1927
01:49:27,720 --> 01:49:35,080
Speaker 1: were major improprieties in Wisconsin, in Michigan, in Nevada, in

1928
01:49:35,120 --> 01:49:40,080
Speaker 1: all these other states that were contested. So yeah, I mean,

1929
01:49:40,160 --> 01:49:42,000
Speaker 1: I mean, we can sit here and argue about it

1930
01:49:42,040 --> 01:49:42,599
Speaker 1: all night long.

1931
01:49:42,640 --> 01:49:44,120
Speaker 2: Tell me, do you have anything else me?

1932
01:49:44,160 --> 01:49:47,360
Speaker 18: Whose sponsored that? You tell me if you're going to

1933
01:49:47,400 --> 01:49:51,040
Speaker 18: believe those investigations, those studies, you tell me who were

1934
01:49:51,080 --> 01:49:56,200
Speaker 18: the sponsors of those particular studies which you are quoting,

1935
01:49:57,280 --> 01:50:00,360
Speaker 18: Because you're not being honest to quote all of the

1936
01:50:00,439 --> 01:50:06,200
Speaker 18: different studies that have been done to determine whether there's

1937
01:50:06,240 --> 01:50:10,200
Speaker 18: been fraud or not. You're just picking on one thing

1938
01:50:10,920 --> 01:50:12,600
Speaker 18: to say that there's fraud.

1939
01:50:14,400 --> 01:50:17,559
Speaker 1: Well, no, there's there's there's multiple different things out there.

1940
01:50:18,120 --> 01:50:20,599
Speaker 1: I don't have Look, I don't have it. I don't

1941
01:50:20,640 --> 01:50:22,160
Speaker 1: I don't have it all in front of me. Right

1942
01:50:22,200 --> 01:50:25,440
Speaker 1: this second. But I'm telling you all that the information

1943
01:50:26,000 --> 01:50:29,040
Speaker 1: is out there and if if you look, I'll look

1944
01:50:29,040 --> 01:50:30,800
Speaker 1: it up. I'll look it up and I'll bring it

1945
01:50:30,840 --> 01:50:33,280
Speaker 1: in tomorrow night. Okay, So let's call me back tomorrow.

1946
01:50:33,320 --> 01:50:37,280
Speaker 18: Tell your listeners that there's more than one study, for

1947
01:50:37,479 --> 01:50:41,640
Speaker 18: one investigation for each of those different states that you

1948
01:50:42,200 --> 01:50:46,760
Speaker 18: just described. You should say that in this instance, for

1949
01:50:46,840 --> 01:50:49,639
Speaker 18: the state of Georgia, there's this study.

1950
01:50:49,720 --> 01:50:55,080
Speaker 1: There's this I just toold well, the one in Fulton,

1951
01:50:55,360 --> 01:50:58,000
Speaker 1: the one in Fulton County, Georgia. I just told you

1952
01:50:58,040 --> 01:51:01,000
Speaker 1: it was the Board of Elections. They've been looking at this,

1953
01:51:01,360 --> 01:51:04,040
Speaker 1: They've been looking at this for you for ever since

1954
01:51:04,080 --> 01:51:08,000
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, and they just had They just came They

1955
01:51:08,080 --> 01:51:10,760
Speaker 1: just came to the They admitted it. They admitted it

1956
01:51:10,800 --> 01:51:13,480
Speaker 1: that that those both votes should have never been certified.

1957
01:51:15,439 --> 01:51:17,559
Speaker 1: Look at it. I mean, Raffie, I mean, don't try

1958
01:51:17,600 --> 01:51:19,800
Speaker 1: and tell me that I don't know what I'm talking about.

1959
01:51:19,920 --> 01:51:26,760
Speaker 1: You go look it up, do your own work. Yeah,

1960
01:51:27,560 --> 01:51:29,439
Speaker 1: all right, let's go to Covington and talk to Lou

1961
01:51:29,760 --> 01:51:31,680
Speaker 1: Lou seven hundred ww.

1962
01:51:32,840 --> 01:51:34,439
Speaker 2: Hey, Dan, nice fiery evening.

1963
01:51:34,479 --> 01:51:34,920
Speaker 16: We got here.

1964
01:51:35,040 --> 01:51:38,799
Speaker 2: Huh, it's good radio.

1965
01:51:39,000 --> 01:51:41,080
Speaker 1: I'm telling you man, I don't know why no one

1966
01:51:41,120 --> 01:51:42,680
Speaker 1: believes me about the Fulton County thing.

1967
01:51:44,840 --> 01:51:48,080
Speaker 2: I think Rafael might be datsure. It sounds really similar

1968
01:51:48,120 --> 01:51:49,080
Speaker 2: to the Full Rock.

1969
01:51:49,360 --> 01:51:54,800
Speaker 19: But the anyway, UH, I'm interested in following up about

1970
01:51:54,880 --> 01:51:57,320
Speaker 19: this data center of stuff that Trump was talking about

1971
01:51:57,360 --> 01:51:58,719
Speaker 19: in the UH.

1972
01:51:58,840 --> 01:52:04,240
Speaker 2: In the address, he said that they could it could be.

1973
01:52:03,840 --> 01:52:06,320
Speaker 19: Taking over the grids that we can't handle because our

1974
01:52:06,320 --> 01:52:09,400
Speaker 19: infrastructure is so old, and that they're going to be

1975
01:52:09,439 --> 01:52:12,240
Speaker 19: building and they're allowed to build their own power plants

1976
01:52:12,760 --> 01:52:16,639
Speaker 19: at the data centers. I would like to hear more

1977
01:52:16,640 --> 01:52:22,439
Speaker 19: about this plan because I know that vivik Ramaswami is

1978
01:52:22,880 --> 01:52:25,920
Speaker 19: big on the data centers in Ohio, and we've got

1979
01:52:25,920 --> 01:52:27,720
Speaker 19: this new one out in Adams County that's going to

1980
01:52:27,760 --> 01:52:30,639
Speaker 19: put the grid completely out of out of the out

1981
01:52:30,640 --> 01:52:33,120
Speaker 19: of reach for the regular citizens. And I think the

1982
01:52:33,200 --> 01:52:36,080
Speaker 19: data center would use more energy than all of the

1983
01:52:36,840 --> 01:52:38,439
Speaker 19: residents of Adams County currently.

1984
01:52:38,920 --> 01:52:41,200
Speaker 1: My understanding on this is that it all, it all

1985
01:52:41,240 --> 01:52:45,240
Speaker 1: has to do with with AI, artificial intelligence, and the

1986
01:52:45,320 --> 01:52:50,240
Speaker 1: computers that run that make the AI happen use enormous

1987
01:52:50,280 --> 01:52:54,840
Speaker 1: amounts of energy, enormous amounts of electricity. So and I

1988
01:52:54,880 --> 01:52:57,680
Speaker 1: think it was Bill Gates that started this, that he

1989
01:52:57,960 --> 01:53:00,240
Speaker 1: was looking for permission to build his own nucle your

1990
01:53:00,280 --> 01:53:03,920
Speaker 1: power plants, and it's so he could so he could

1991
01:53:04,040 --> 01:53:06,599
Speaker 1: generate enough. Look, and it's not going to happen through

1992
01:53:06,600 --> 01:53:10,439
Speaker 1: windmills and solar panels. So they got to have yeah,

1993
01:53:10,439 --> 01:53:13,240
Speaker 1: they got to they got to have reliable sources of

1994
01:53:13,280 --> 01:53:17,360
Speaker 1: electricity and and so they've got to build these power plants.

1995
01:53:17,400 --> 01:53:21,080
Speaker 1: And I think initially they were trying to do a

1996
01:53:21,160 --> 01:53:25,760
Speaker 1: deal with the different regional power companies to add all

1997
01:53:25,800 --> 01:53:30,519
Speaker 1: this infrastructure and create all these new power generating plants. However,

1998
01:53:30,520 --> 01:53:32,439
Speaker 1: they're going to do it natural gas or whatever. The

1999
01:53:32,479 --> 01:53:35,719
Speaker 1: source is going to be clean, beautiful coal, as Trump

2000
01:53:35,840 --> 01:53:40,200
Speaker 1: likes to say. However, they're going to do this. And

2001
01:53:40,200 --> 01:53:43,280
Speaker 1: and if I'm not mistaken, what Trump was talking about

2002
01:53:43,320 --> 01:53:47,320
Speaker 1: last night was was his plan was that look, uh,

2003
01:53:47,439 --> 01:53:50,160
Speaker 1: these individual companies that want to engage in all this

2004
01:53:50,280 --> 01:53:56,280
Speaker 1: AI activity, that the cost of building those power plants

2005
01:53:56,439 --> 01:53:59,320
Speaker 1: is going to be borne by those companies instead of

2006
01:53:59,360 --> 01:54:03,000
Speaker 1: the people who are paying. You know, around here we

2007
01:54:03,080 --> 01:54:05,880
Speaker 1: pay Duke Energy, and other parts of the country there's

2008
01:54:05,920 --> 01:54:11,040
Speaker 1: other different power companies that get paid. So instead of

2009
01:54:11,520 --> 01:54:14,280
Speaker 1: you know, adding all that, and to my way of thinking,

2010
01:54:14,320 --> 01:54:16,600
Speaker 1: I think that's a great thing. I guess in the

2011
01:54:16,600 --> 01:54:19,600
Speaker 1: long run we're all going to benefit from AI. But

2012
01:54:20,640 --> 01:54:22,680
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but my electric bill is

2013
01:54:22,720 --> 01:54:25,719
Speaker 1: through the roof this month. Absolutely. Yeah.

2014
01:54:25,920 --> 01:54:29,120
Speaker 19: There are only fifty four power plants nuclear power plants

2015
01:54:29,160 --> 01:54:32,280
Speaker 19: in America, so that's barely one per stake at this

2016
01:54:32,400 --> 01:54:36,240
Speaker 19: point in twenty twenty six. I find it funny that

2017
01:54:36,480 --> 01:54:39,400
Speaker 19: we a lot of Americans make fun of the French.

2018
01:54:40,760 --> 01:54:43,240
Speaker 19: I haven't seen a nuclear disaster in France, and they

2019
01:54:43,280 --> 01:54:47,800
Speaker 19: are heavily invested in nuclear power and a three mile island,

2020
01:54:47,800 --> 01:54:51,160
Speaker 19: I might remind the listeners was not a complete meltdown

2021
01:54:51,320 --> 01:54:55,240
Speaker 19: like for Nioble. So I think nuclear power and all

2022
01:54:55,280 --> 01:54:59,280
Speaker 19: these guys like Martin Sheen and Sam Shepherd and Jane

2023
01:54:59,360 --> 01:55:02,840
Speaker 19: Fond of no nukes and all that business, we really

2024
01:55:02,880 --> 01:55:05,320
Speaker 19: need to take a look at this situation because we're

2025
01:55:05,320 --> 01:55:07,839
Speaker 19: going to need a lot more power. Our economy is growing,

2026
01:55:07,960 --> 01:55:11,360
Speaker 19: our population is not growing, but we've got a lot

2027
01:55:11,360 --> 01:55:12,640
Speaker 19: of people in this country.

2028
01:55:12,800 --> 01:55:15,560
Speaker 2: Will be at four hundred million before you know it. Yeah,

2029
01:55:15,600 --> 01:55:19,080
Speaker 2: and I think I think them.

2030
01:55:19,680 --> 01:55:21,040
Speaker 1: No, I was going to say, I think this is

2031
01:55:21,080 --> 01:55:24,760
Speaker 1: one of those situations where the technology is outpacing the

2032
01:55:25,160 --> 01:55:28,120
Speaker 1: infrastructure that is available to support it. So if we're

2033
01:55:28,120 --> 01:55:30,320
Speaker 1: going to have AI and our lives are going to

2034
01:55:30,320 --> 01:55:32,560
Speaker 1: be right, I mean, God, I don't know if I'm

2035
01:55:32,560 --> 01:55:34,480
Speaker 1: looking forward to this at all. I mean, how are

2036
01:55:34,760 --> 01:55:37,920
Speaker 1: we going to have our lives, our daily lives dominated

2037
01:55:37,960 --> 01:55:40,360
Speaker 1: by artificial intelligence and everything we do?

2038
01:55:41,040 --> 01:55:41,240
Speaker 16: Right?

2039
01:55:41,840 --> 01:55:42,880
Speaker 2: It's concerning to me.

2040
01:55:42,960 --> 01:55:47,839
Speaker 19: And then passing here and closing AI equals China because

2041
01:55:47,960 --> 01:55:51,280
Speaker 19: all of those computers have microchips, and we can build

2042
01:55:51,720 --> 01:55:54,320
Speaker 19: more microchip factories in this country, but at this point

2043
01:55:54,320 --> 01:55:56,000
Speaker 19: we are still beholden to China.

2044
01:55:56,280 --> 01:55:57,200
Speaker 2: It's going to take a.

2045
01:55:57,120 --> 01:56:01,640
Speaker 1: While, and I've seen I've seen a lot of reporting

2046
01:56:01,640 --> 01:56:04,960
Speaker 1: about whoever winds up controlling AI is going to wind

2047
01:56:05,040 --> 01:56:07,320
Speaker 1: up controlling the world. So Lou, with that, we got

2048
01:56:07,360 --> 01:56:08,840
Speaker 1: to run. I want to thank you very much for

2049
01:56:08,920 --> 01:56:13,040
Speaker 1: your phone call before I go. Here's the story on

2050
01:56:13,240 --> 01:56:20,600
Speaker 1: WALB News Channel ten. In Atlanta, Fulton County officials admitted

2051
01:56:20,680 --> 01:56:24,360
Speaker 1: they did not properly sign tabulator tapes after the twenty

2052
01:56:24,440 --> 01:56:28,680
Speaker 1: twenty election, a violation of state regulations. The county also

2053
01:56:28,760 --> 01:56:33,440
Speaker 1: noted it had misplaced other tabulator tapes and documents related

2054
01:56:33,680 --> 01:56:36,919
Speaker 1: to the election. The admission was made by county attorney

2055
01:56:36,960 --> 01:56:40,240
Speaker 1: and Broombaugh during a December ninth, twenty twenty five meeting

2056
01:56:40,320 --> 01:56:44,200
Speaker 1: of the state Election Board. Tabulator tapes are special receipts

2057
01:56:44,320 --> 01:56:48,240
Speaker 1: printed from ballot tabulation machines that help verify the number

2058
01:56:48,240 --> 01:56:53,360
Speaker 1: of votes the voters match the vote that verify the

2059
01:56:53,480 --> 01:56:56,680
Speaker 1: number of voters matches the number of votes. They are

2060
01:56:56,720 --> 01:57:00,440
Speaker 1: a key piece of the verification and certification process in

2061
01:57:00,640 --> 01:57:05,680
Speaker 1: every county election across the state. Georgia. Regulation state that

2062
01:57:05,840 --> 01:57:10,720
Speaker 1: poll managers and two witnesses must be present during the printing, checking,

2063
01:57:10,800 --> 01:57:14,080
Speaker 1: and signing of each tape from the machines. We do

2064
01:57:14,200 --> 01:57:16,560
Speaker 1: not dispute that the tapes were not signed. It was

2065
01:57:16,600 --> 01:57:20,200
Speaker 1: a violation of the rule. Broombas said they should have

2066
01:57:20,360 --> 01:57:26,960
Speaker 1: done it. So there you go, and then she starts

2067
01:57:27,000 --> 01:57:29,800
Speaker 1: talking about how they've got procedures in place to make

2068
01:57:29,840 --> 01:57:37,960
Speaker 1: sure that it doesn't happen again. Look it up. It's

2069
01:57:37,960 --> 01:57:40,920
Speaker 1: out there. I just found it. Just now. You can

2070
01:57:40,920 --> 01:57:43,320
Speaker 1: find it yourself. There's a lot more reporting on it

2071
01:57:43,360 --> 01:57:45,680
Speaker 1: though than that. That's it for me. I got to

2072
01:57:45,680 --> 01:57:47,800
Speaker 1: get out of here. Russ Jackson, thank you for everything,

2073
01:57:48,120 --> 01:57:50,520
Speaker 1: and we will see you again tomorrow night for the

2074
01:57:50,520 --> 01:57:53,400
Speaker 1: Thursday Night edition of the Midweek Crisis on seven hundred

2075
