He does it with 87 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: a custom sharpie, has made it a presidential priority to 88 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 1: reshore American manufacturing, and coincidentally, sharpie maker Newell Brands, is 89 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: a prime example. 90 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 2: I'm a big fan of Newell. As a matter of fact, 91 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 2: all the yellow highlighters, of which there are many, that 92 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 2: are dried out in studio are made by Sharpie. 93 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: I go through a lot of them. So when they 94 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: get low and they're not as bright as they typically are, 95 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: they go. 96 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 2: Into a glass. 97 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: And then if I run out and I haven't purchased 98 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 1: any new ones, I go back to the old ones 99 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 1: until they're completely run dry. I have a whole system 100 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: in place. And Sam shust in there looking at me, 101 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 1: shaking his head because he knows exactly what I'm talking 102 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: I do. 103 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 2: You gotta flip them upside down. That's the plane we 104 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 2: buy them in bulk. 105 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: I go through so many Newell Brands has transformed, though, 106 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: it's US operations with the massive on shoring effort that 107 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: has made its iconic markers and the manufacturing of them cheaper, faster, 108 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 1: and more efficient, all without cutting jobs or raising prices. 109 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,479 Speaker 2: Oh hell yeah, there is no longer. 110 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: A reason to manufacture Sharpie outside of the US, said 111 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: the CEO. 112 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 2: Of Newell Brands. 113 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: I'm trum at the company's Maryville, Tennessee plant, which produces 114 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: more than five hundred million Sharpie markers annually. Nearly every 115 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: part of the pen is made domestically. 116 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,719 Speaker 3: Oh hell yeah. 117 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 1: The only only the felt tip is imported from Japan. 118 00:05:58,680 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 4: So just the tip. 119 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 2: Comes from Japan. 120 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: The shift marks a dramatic turnaround from twenty eighteen, when 121 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 1: much of Sharpie's production was outsourced Newel or is it Newell? 122 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 1: Am I saying that wrong? Any ewe l Probably Newell? Sure, 123 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,039 Speaker 1: we'll go with Newell. We'll go with Newell. We'll go 124 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: with new I think I'm putting in proper emphasis on 125 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 1: the second salable, Just the. 126 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 2: Tip is important from Japan head Cordon in Atlanta. 127 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:38,280 Speaker 1: They invested nearly two billion to centralize its supply chain, 128 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 1: overhaul production lines, and retain workers for automation focused roles. 129 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: The investment has helped Newell offset inflation and keep prices stable, 130 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: as Sharpie still sells for about. 131 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 2: One dollar a pen. It's kind of a deal. 132 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 1: Well, fulfilling orders more quickly and cutting shipping costs. As 133 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: a result, the pen production is three to four times faster, 134 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 1: quality has improved, and the average wages at the facility, 135 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: which employs about five hundred and fifty people, has risen 136 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: roughly fifty percent. 137 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 2: Over the course of the past few years. 138 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: The investment also helped a new Ale offset inflation and 139 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: key price is stable. I'm right, so the Maryville plant 140 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: runs twenty four to seven, producing one point eight million 141 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: markers a day, and they plan to expand US production 142 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: even further.

We'll talk 245 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: about this further when Andrew Langer joins us here in 246 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 1: just a moment on the show. 247 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 8: One thing I wish President Trump used is the word 248 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 8: liberation and liberate. When he sends National Guard troops into 249 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 8: these cities, he's liberating the populace and the people that 250 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 8: live there from crime and from not being safe. The 251 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,439 Speaker 8: people that are in power there allow the crime and 252 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 8: the safe, and he's liberating them. 253 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, I listen, it's not going to matter in terms 254 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: of the commentary surrounding Trump and these actions. I would 255 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 1: encourage you as you talk to your friends and family 256 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: or those on the left that you may know, Hans, 257 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,839 Speaker 1: and I would encourage you to use that, to use 258 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 1: that language. 259 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 2: It doesn't matter what Trump says. Listen. 260 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: I agree with your sentiment, and I think it's good 261 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 1: as people talk about it to view it in those terms. 262 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,440 Speaker 1: It's not going to matter in terms of the commentary 263 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 1: around Trump. 264 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 7: I'm a supportive of many of Trump's initiatives, as you are, 265 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 7: the border, bringing back manufacturing, etc. However, we both know 266 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 7: that the menuted democratic president regains power with the stroke 267 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 7: of the pen, they will not only reverse all of 268 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 7: the progress Trump made, that they will double down on 269 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 7: the progressive nonsense that necessitated trumps sections in the first place. 270 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 7: Does this not speak to the ineffectiveness of Congress and 271 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 7: how do we go back to Congress actually doing the legislating. 272 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 1: Well, I think the hope would be Listen, You're not 273 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: necessarily wrong. It doesn't mean and you didn't say this, Tom, 274 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: I understand that. I'm just adding this. It doesn't mean 275 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 1: that Trump shouldn't move forward and do what he's doing. 276 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: We shouldn't stop our efforts just because if and when 277 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: Democrats get back into power, and we hope they don't, 278 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 1: But if and when they do, they might reverse all 279 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 1: of this, but hopefully through what's happening right now, there 280 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 1: is a better slate of individuals who are elected that 281 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 1: will maintain. 282 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 2: The status quo. 283 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 1: As further people are exposed to just what the radical 284 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: left's intentions are. That's the only way that things change 285 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: is if we get a better crop of individuals serving 286 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: in positions of power across the country and in Congress, 287 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: regardless of political party. It's funny, and we'll talk about 288 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: this later on in the show. Not funny in a 289 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 1: haha kind of way, funny in this ad pathetic kind 290 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 1: of way. But when you consider what's taking place in Minneapolis, 291 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 1: as exposed in the Precarious State documentary and covered by 292 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: those that have been covering this for a long time, 293 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: those city council members they run on a different platform 294 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: when they go out to the voters and they campaign, 295 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: and then when they get into office, they go and 296 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 1: they govern a different way, completely to the left, radical 297 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 1: Marxist policies. The same thing has happened at the national 298 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: level when it comes to the Democrats. It used to 299 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 1: not always be that way, which means that it can 300 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 1: go back. We may disagree on policy, but we used 301 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 1: to be able to agree on fundamentals like keeping our 302 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 1: streets safe, not having the country flooded by illegal aliens, 303 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: holding people accountable when they go and commit crimes. In 304 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 1: terms of and as far as Democrats getting back into 305 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 1: power and what they will or will not do, it's 306 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 1: nothing until it's something, and right now Trump needs to 307 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 1: continue moving forward doing what he's doing. All right, and 308 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 1: we have to continue moving forward to Andrew Langer, president 309 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 1: of the Institute for Liberty, joins us here in just 310 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: a moment before we do, though, let's go here. 311 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 4: Come on, John, just play kiss the tip.

Just the tip comes from Japan. 345 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: I bet that Andrew Langer was not aware of that. 346 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 9: I was not. 347 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,359 Speaker 1: You learned something new every day that's a good subject 348 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 1: for your lunch hour podcast in case you needed one. 349 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 9: I suppose I think I would be more along the 350 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,679 Speaker 9: lines of my buddy Jerry's podcast, Business of America podcast. 351 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 2: But you're the regulatory guru. 352 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:19,639 Speaker 1: I mean, Sharpie making its markers in America great again. 353 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 1: Donald Trump signs as presidential documents by hand using a 354 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 1: custom Sharpie has made it a presidential priority to reshore 355 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 1: American manufacturing, and coincidentally, the sharpie maker, Newell Brands, is 356 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 1: a prime example. 357 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,639 Speaker 2: They've invested nearly two billion to centralized. 358 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: Supply chain and they've cut all their costs. They've continued 359 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 1: their twenty four hour operations.

But yeah, I'm 450 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:05,120 Speaker 9: it is it is humor for a very specific subset 451 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 9: of an audience. 452 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,679 Speaker 1: Well, and it's also you know, humor based off of 453 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 1: current events that. 454 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,160 Speaker 2: I don't know really you can lampoon. 455 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 1: I mean when you look at the audio of what's transpiring, 456 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 1: like what I mean, let me let me back up, Like, 457 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,879 Speaker 1: which way on the left does it go? Do you 458 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 1: want to think that it's a joke what's taking place? 459 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: Or is this you know, the actions? Are these the 460 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:35,439 Speaker 1: actions of an authoritarian tyrant that is the second coming 461 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: of of Hitler? I mean, which way do you guys 462 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 1: want to go on this? And I think that in 463 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 1: and of itself is why you know that type of 464 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:47,160 Speaker 1: comedy and an attempt to parody Pete hex that just 465 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 1: kind of falls falls flat. 466 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 2: I mean that on top of the fact that right. 467 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 9: You know, you know, it's one of those things where 468 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,399 Speaker 9: what they're trying to do is capture the oversimplification of 469 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:02,439 Speaker 9: the parody, right which you know, if you could hinge 470 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,880 Speaker 9: on something in terms of an impression of Pete Hegseth 471 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 9: that could simplify it, then that's all well and good. 472 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 9: And by that I mean, you know Tina Fey, you know, 473 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,640 Speaker 9: doing Sarah Palin. You know, she was able to sort 474 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 9: of distill it down into its essence. It's what Dana 475 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 9: Carvey talks about when he talks about how he does 476 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,640 Speaker 9: impressions of people. He sort of hinges on on one 477 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 9: thing and then pulls on that thread. But you know, 478 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 9: this idea that they're trying to oversimplify Pete Hegseth into 479 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 9: some kind of overly buff Fox host who wound up 480 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 9: being you know, who wound up becoming accidentally, you know, 481 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 9: Secretary of War or Secretary Defense, whatever you want to 482 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:47,719 Speaker 9: call him, you know, ignoring you know, his military career, 483 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,879 Speaker 9: which is what got him onto Fox in the first place. 484 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:56,159 Speaker 9: It just falls flat because you know, it assumes a 485 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,880 Speaker 9: lot from the audience that the audience just isn't going 486 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,919 Speaker 9: to going to pick up on and in an impression 487 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 9: that is just going to be jarringly wrong. 488 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 2: Let's let's go here. 489 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: I had a talk back that I played a moment ago, 490 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:09,199 Speaker 1: and I have a couple that I want to that 491 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,160 Speaker 1: I want to play in response to it and get 492 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 1: your thoughts talking with Andrew Langer. But friend of the show, Tom, 493 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,199 Speaker 1: he let the talk back basically saying that, you know, 494 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,920 Speaker 1: he's a supporter of Trump's initiatives, you know, when it 495 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 1: comes to the border manufacturing. But we know that if 496 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 1: a Democrat president were to get power, that they would 497 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 1: probably reverse the progress that Trump made and would more 498 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 1: than likely double down on the progressive nonsense that necessitated 499 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: Trump's actions in the first place. He talks about, you 500 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,360 Speaker 1: know this speaking to the ineffectiveness of Congress and how 501 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 1: do we go back to Congress actually doing legislation.

The 509 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 11: problem is the Democrats are no longer democrats. They're communists. 510 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 11: And that's one way to usher in communism is to 511 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,439 Speaker 11: make it so unsafe that the people start begging for 512 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 11: the government to. 513 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,119 Speaker 4: Save them, no matter the means. 514 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:20,879 Speaker 11: We have to stop electing communists to positions of power 515 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 11: in this country. 516 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: Now, I have my own thoughts on that, Andrew, but 517 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 1: I'll just before I play the next one, let me 518 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:29,200 Speaker 1: what's your instinctive reaction to the listener there on that talkback? 519 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 4: Well, I mean this is this is you know, classic 520 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:32,679 Speaker 4: Marxist dialectic. 521 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:36,119 Speaker 9: You know, you you create the problem, you exacerbate the problem, 522 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,240 Speaker 9: and then you you know, government has to step in 523 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 9: there solve the problem. 524 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 1: How many individuals that are serving on the left, like 525 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 1: the Democrats on the left, like, how many of them 526 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 1: are just aligning with the way the party is going, 527 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 1: and how many of them are actually sort of true 528 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,359 Speaker 1: believers in all of this Because it wasn't always this way. 529 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,200 Speaker 2: There was a moment in time not that long ago. 530 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 1: And I've used this example many times when we used 531 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 1: to sort of refer to that portion of the party 532 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 1: as almost exclusive to like the squad, And the squad 533 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 1: was unique because they were the most radical of the 534 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 1: Democrat Party, and now we know that, well, the policies 535 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,680 Speaker 1: of the Squad have now been adopted by the Democrat 536 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 1: Party as a as a whole. I'm just curious your 537 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:17,880 Speaker 1: thoughts on, you know, how many people are just sort 538 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:21,159 Speaker 1: of following and how many people are actually leading in 539 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 1: these Marxist efforts, because I think the answer to that 540 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,360 Speaker 1: is going to be whether or not Democrats and Republicans 541 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 1: can ever come back to the table and agree on 542 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 1: certain baseline issues like public safety and secure borders and 543 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:36,200 Speaker 1: illegal immigration. 544 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 9: Well, no, I mean I think listen, I think it 545 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 9: has less to do with ideology and and more of 546 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 9: it having to do with with, you know, marketing and 547 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 9: social media influence and the kinds of folks that are 548 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 9: that are you know, that are that are getting elected 549 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 9: on that side of the islunless is again, it's not 550 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 9: about what about ism. This is not about you know, 551 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 9: the the equivalencies that are there, because certainly you know 552 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 9: there are the equivalencies. 553 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 4: That are there. 554 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 9: But you know, it gets down to something that I 555 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:08,600 Speaker 9: think the original Talkbacker was was circling around, which is 556 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 9: what does it mean to be ideologically consistent? What does 557 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 9: it mean to have sort of a political philosophy, and 558 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 9: are we at a time now where the adherence to 559 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 9: a consistent political philosophy is is out of fashion. 560 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 4: And that's a very troubling place to be, you know. 561 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 9: I think you add into this the one fundamental least, 562 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 9: what should have been and should be the fundamental difference 563 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 9: between let's say progressives and conservatives, or Republicans and Democrats, 564 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 9: is that they live a life that is untethered from 565 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 9: objective reality. 566 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 4: And that's purposeful. Right. 567 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 9: This is not me, you know, making a joke here, 568 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 9: but when everything is sort of up for grabs in 569 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 9: terms of that fluidity, what we have to be stealing 570 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 9: ourselves against is to have that, you know, turn itself 571 00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 9: into ideological fluidity, you know, on our side of the aisle. 572 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 4: That's a real problem. 573 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 2: Let's play this comment here from the iHeartRadio app. 574 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 5: In regards to Tom's comment, I think it's an excellent one. 575 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 5: And this is is this is the frustration I have 576 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 5: with Congress. Trump's doing a fantastic job. Congress needs to 577 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 5: follow up and start codifying into lass some of the 578 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 5: things that Trump is doing with eos and they're not. 579 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 5: So Who's who's dropping the ball? Here, Republicans in Congress 580 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:32,480 Speaker 5: need to get their heads together and and start codifying 581 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,960 Speaker 5: the things that Trump's I think I think. 582 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 1: A part of that though, Andrew Langer, you know, and 583 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 1: feel free to fill in the gaps here, but I 584 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 1: think a part of that. Part of the issue with 585 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 1: that is is procedural. I mean, there's only so much 586 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:47,200 Speaker 1: that Congress can can do. I mean, right now, obviously 587 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 1: they're focused on the on the budget and the shutdown, 588 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 1: which I want to talk to you about. But I 589 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 1: think with regard to what the talkbacker is saying, and 590 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 1: I've heard other comments like this, I think a part 591 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 1: of the issue is just how Congress operates and what 592 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 1: can be codified and it can't be codified. 593 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 4: Well, there's that aspect of it. 594 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 9: But let's remember that when the Chefron Doctrine was overturned 595 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 9: last year, it really was supposed to push this power 596 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 9: back into the hands of the legislature, for them to 597 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:19,239 Speaker 9: be very specific in how the executive branch creates and 598 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,920 Speaker 9: enforces use statutory policy through regulation. I know, it gets 599 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:27,480 Speaker 9: very complicated there. The Trump administration is doing what it 600 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 9: can and it'll have great force and effect down the 601 00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 9: road by dealing with regulatory reform to bring laws back 602 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 9: in line with what the underlying. 603 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 4: Statutes say they ought to be. 604 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 9: It makes it harder down the road for a progressive 605 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:47,200 Speaker 9: administration to turn around. Our problem is when we start 606 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 9: making interpretations on things and again changing ideological policy because 607 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 9: we want to get stuff done before this administration goes out, 608 00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:01,400 Speaker 9: that can then be boomeranged again us right, you know. 609 00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 9: And one of the things, well, anyway, there are lots 610 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 9: there's lots of there's lots of potential pitfalls out there, 611 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,480 Speaker 9: so you just have to be mindful that as the 612 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:13,760 Speaker 9: pendulum swings. Obviously, if you make regulations that are more 613 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 9: in line with statute, it makes it harder for these 614 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,480 Speaker 9: you know, broad interpretations to come into place in the 615 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:21,640 Speaker 9: post Trefron world. But it would be so much better 616 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,440 Speaker 9: if Congress would just do its job and be very 617 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:24,720 Speaker 9: specific in its legislation. 618 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,800 Speaker 1: Before we wrap up this morning, we're in day six 619 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,080 Speaker 1: of the shutdown now, and you know, it looked heading 620 00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,480 Speaker 1: into the weekend like the Democrats have been losing the 621 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 1: argument on this. There was a Newsmax piece this morning 622 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 1: that was running through a handful of different polls that 623 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,480 Speaker 1: were done over the course of the past few days, 624 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,200 Speaker 1: and it's kind of a mixed bag, but leaning more 625 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 1: towards this looking to be negative towards Republicans. 626 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,680 Speaker 2: I mean, you're just outside of of DC, you're sort 627 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:52,440 Speaker 2: of in that area. What's your thought right now? 628 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:56,239 Speaker 1: I mean, who's benefiting the most over the shutdown or 629 00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 1: the least in you know, if it drags on, you know, 630 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 1: what are the ramification is going to be for either party? 631 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,320 Speaker 9: Well, listen, I think actually the longer drags on, the 632 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:11,040 Speaker 9: more it boomerangs against the Democrats because at the end 633 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,120 Speaker 9: of the day, right, yes, the Democrats have the media 634 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:17,000 Speaker 9: narrative that's out there, and they always will, right you know, 635 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 9: ninety five percent of the stories will be pro Democrat. 636 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 9: But what we've seen obviously in recent years is the 637 00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,640 Speaker 9: fundamental disconnect between what the media is saying and how 638 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,440 Speaker 9: that gets interpreted by your average as the average everyday 639 00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 9: American sees what's in front of them and as they 640 00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 9: see the government shutdown. 641 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 4: Now, honestly, John, I don't think that. 642 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,960 Speaker 9: I don't think the shutdown is going to last past 643 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 9: this week. And let me explain why real quick. The 644 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,160 Speaker 9: Democrats are supposed to go this coming weekend to Napa 645 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,760 Speaker 9: Valley to do a major retreat in the wine country, 646 00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 9: and yet they could cancel it. 647 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:51,800 Speaker 4: And if they cancel, well then all bets are off. 648 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,160 Speaker 9: But the Democrats are not going to want to go 649 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 9: off to do this fancy wine country weekend retreat while 650 00:33:57,840 --> 00:33:58,960 Speaker 9: the government is shut down. 651 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,760 Speaker 4: That will boomerang against them. 652 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,280 Speaker 9: But the longer the government shut down and your average 653 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 9: everyday American doesn't see any negative impact towards them, it 654 00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:12,719 Speaker 9: really blunts the uh, it blunts the idea that for 655 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:14,480 Speaker 9: the Democrats that the skies are falling as. 656 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:15,040 Speaker 4: A result of us. 657 00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:16,680 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, that's a hell of a narrative. 658 00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,120 Speaker 1: If the Democrats end up caving on the shutdown into 659 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:23,480 Speaker 1: the GOP's demands, also they can go and hang out 660 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,440 Speaker 1: together in a posh wine country, right. 661 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,120 Speaker 2: I'd be dealt with that one. That's pretty funny. 662 00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,279 Speaker 4: Absolutely absolutely. I mean, listen, you know, we're seeing it. 663 00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:38,000 Speaker 9: We're seeing an upswing in obviously, we're seeing the possibility 664 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,640 Speaker 9: that a Republican can win this New Jersey governor's race. 665 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,760 Speaker 9: We've got win some series in Virginia, making great gains 666 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,640 Speaker 9: in the final month.
