1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,280 Speaker 1: Good morning, Coon air country. I don't know if any 2 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:09,320 Speaker 1: of you saw his national address to the nation yesterday, 3 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:12,840 Speaker 1: but I got to tell you I had very high hopes, 4 00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:20,079 Speaker 1: very high expectations, and the President clearly delivered this. This 5 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 1: is the President Trump that won a national mandate in 6 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: November of twenty twenty four. It was an incredible speech. 7 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 1: It was a very strong speech. It was a very 8 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:40,559 Speaker 1: high energy speech at sometimes a defiant speech. But it 9 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: also now clearly set the terms and set framed the 10 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 1: debate for the next year for Republicans. His aims, his goals, 11 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 1: his objectives, and really now what he wants to achieve 12 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: in order to win the twenty twenty six midterms. So 13 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: the President spoke for about nineteen minutes to the country. 14 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 1: The first thing that struck me, it was night and 15 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 1: day in terms of vigor, in terms of passion, in 16 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: terms of energy, in terms of power, lucidness compared to 17 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:28,399 Speaker 1: the four years under Joey. It was night and day. 18 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: And the other thing that struck me about the speech, 19 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 1: so clearly we have a real activist, and I mean 20 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: active in the sense that you know, he's physically vigorous, 21 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: mentally vigorous, full of energy. We have now a real 22 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: president in the White House, who is engaged, who is passionate, 23 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: who is purposeful, and who wants to get so much done, 24 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: and reminded the country on how much he's all ready 25 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: accomplished in eleven months. Furthermore, it was a no nonsense speech. 26 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 1: It's not It wasn't Reagan, it wasn't John F. Kennedy, 27 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: it wasn't FDR. There wasn't, you know, soaring rhetoric or 28 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:22,399 Speaker 1: some poetic turns of phrases. That wasn't Trump's intent last night. 29 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: It was a no nonsense speech. It was almost a 30 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: speech delivered by the CEO of a company. In other words, 31 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: this is the mess that we inherited. It was the 32 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: dire situation we had when I first came into office. 33 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: And now almost like he's reporting to the board a 34 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 1: year later, here is how much we've done. Here are 35 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: the trend lines. We've reversed everything. It's all going in 36 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: a much more positive direction. And by next year, really 37 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: the second quarter, i e. The middle of the summer, 38 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 1: we are going to be clicking on all cylinders. So 39 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: it was a very matter of fact, very deliberate. Really, 40 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: he just he was all business He was very serious. 41 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 1: He was at times extremely powerful. You can see in 42 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: him he wants to shatter the democratic narrative that they've 43 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: been creating with the help of the media, that somehow 44 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: the quote unquote affordability issue, i e. High prices, i e. 45 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: High inflation is somehow Donald Trump's problem. Well, he smashed 46 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: that last night. I thought it was one of the 47 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: most effective parts of his speech. President Trump made it 48 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: very clear early on the administration and the president and 49 00:03:53,080 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: the party that delivered soaring inflation, high prices, the affordability 50 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: quote unquote crisis didn't happen on my watch. It was 51 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: caused by Biden. It was caused by the Democrats, and 52 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: it was caused under the four years of their administration 53 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: while they were in power. Listen now to President Trump saying, America, 54 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:28,160 Speaker 1: eleven months ago, I inherited a mess. Roll cut one, Mike. 55 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 2: Good Evening, American eleven months ago. I inherited a mess, 56 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 2: and I'm fixing it. When I took office, inflation was 57 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 2: the worst in forty eight years, and some would say 58 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 2: in the history of our country, which caused prices to 59 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 2: be higher than ever before, making life unaffordable for millions 60 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 2: and millions of Americans. 61 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:55,919 Speaker 3: This happened during. 62 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,679 Speaker 2: A Democrat administration, and it's when we first began hearing 63 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 2: the words word affordability. 64 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: Now, he twinned it right away, and I thought this 65 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: was very smart. Basically, his speech had two prongs. There 66 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 1: was more to it, but I'm giving you the essence 67 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: of the speech. It had two prongs to it. One, 68 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: I inherited a nation and economic crisis, a nation pummeled 69 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: and under siege and being crushed by inflation. This was 70 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: all caused by Biden and a wide open border, an invasion. 71 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: That's what they bequeathed us, an invasion, a border crisis, 72 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: an economy going downward, and an inflation crisis. Listen now 73 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: to Trump saying, not only did I have soaring inflation 74 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 1: and an economy flat on its back, I also had 75 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: to deal with one of the greatest crises at the 76 00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: border in the history of the United States, roll cut 77 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: one a Mike. 78 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,239 Speaker 2: Our border was open, and because of this, our country 79 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 2: was being invaded by an army of twenty five million people, 80 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 2: many who came from prisons and jails, mental institutions, and 81 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 2: insane asylums. They were drug dealers, gang members, and even 82 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,479 Speaker 2: eleven thousand, eight hundred and eighty eight murders, more than 83 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 2: fifty percent of whom killed more than one person. This 84 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 2: is what the Biden administration allowed to happen to our country, 85 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 2: and it can never be allowed to happen again. 86 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: Now, what he showed, and I thought, some commentators, this 87 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,159 Speaker 1: is not my phrase or anything. As some commentators said, 88 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: this was political shock and awe. What he did was 89 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 1: he reminded the country of just how horrible the situation was, 90 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: and what a disaster Biden and the Democrats were, and 91 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,719 Speaker 1: how much of a hole they had dug for the country. 92 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: And so a, Trump is shattering the media narrative and 93 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 1: the democratic narrative. WHOA whoa? Since when am I to 94 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: have blamed for high prices? 95 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 4: Whoa? 96 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 3: Whoa? Whoa? 97 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 1: You guys are unhappy with all the deportations. You're unhappy 98 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: with Ice going into all these cities and deporting all 99 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: these violent, criminal illegals. Who let them all in. Biden 100 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: who allowed inflation to get out of control, Biden, who 101 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: destroyed the middle class. Biden. And so Trump's argument, and 102 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: I thought it was brilliant, and he laid it out 103 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: with charts. It was an incredibly effective use of charts 104 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: where we said, look, look at the data. Don't take 105 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: my word for it. Here is the data. Under Biden, 106 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: we had a wide open border. It is now the 107 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: most secure border in American history. Under Biden, twenty to 108 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: twenty five million illegals were allowed to pour in. Now 109 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: millions of illegals have self deported. Millions more are being 110 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: rounded up, detained, and being kicked out. In other words, 111 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: the trend now is in the opposite way. Under Biden, 112 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:33,119 Speaker 1: we were energy dependent. There was a war on oil, gas, 113 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 1: fossil fuel, coal. Now we are energy dominant. And then, 114 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: in one of the most effective parts of the speech, 115 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: he rolled out these graphs and showed that under Biden 116 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:54,319 Speaker 1: gas prices went between thirty to fifty percent, they practically doubled. 117 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: It was five bucks a gallon under Biden. Under Trump, 118 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 1: it's now less than three dollars a gallon across the 119 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:06,679 Speaker 1: country nationally and in some states now it's less than 120 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:13,439 Speaker 1: two dollars a gallon. Housing is coming down, Eggs are 121 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: coming down, Most groceries are coming down. In other words, 122 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 1: you look at prices across the board, they are starting 123 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: to finally come down. And on top of all of that. 124 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 1: Under Biden, real wages plummeted. In other words, you had 125 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 1: less money in your pocket. Under Trump, whether you're a 126 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 1: factory worker, a construction worker, a coal mine worker, or 127 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: you work in the private sector, your real wages are 128 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 1: going up. And maybe to me for me anyway, the 129 00:09:55,240 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 1: statistic that stood out under Trump, two million new jobs 130 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 1: have been created. All of it has gone to native 131 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 1: American born workers, not to illegals, not the people who 132 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: come from other countries on dubious visas like they did 133 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: under Biden. But that this is now an economy that 134 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: is working again for the middle working class, for law 135 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: abiding American citizens, every all the pieces are in place, 136 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: as he said, for one of the biggest roaring economic 137 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 1: booms in American history. It was positive. Okay, did you 138 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: watch last night's presidential address? What did you make of 139 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: Trump's speech? Did you like it? Not like it? Do 140 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 1: you think it shattered as I did? But I could 141 00:10:56,120 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 1: you know you may disagree with me. The Democrat media 142 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:05,439 Speaker 1: narrative that the country is in decline under Trump, that 143 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: we are in the grips of an affordability crisis, and 144 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: that the president is partially to blame and that he 145 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 1: has no solutions to get us out. What he did 146 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:19,319 Speaker 1: last night was he reset the table. He reminded everybody 147 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: of just how bad the situation was before he got in, 148 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 1: how much needed to be done, and what he expects 149 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 1: to accomplish going forward into twenty twenty six. Now, one 150 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,199 Speaker 1: of the best parts of the speech, and again I 151 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,559 Speaker 1: don't want to repeat myself for be labor this point, 152 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: but he used grafts, extremely well charts, grafts, evidence, facts, 153 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: data to back up his case. And so this is 154 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 1: what he said about Joe Biden, and in essence, he 155 00:11:53,600 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: was saying under Biden, inflation was soaring, wages were drop, 156 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 1: the debt was exploding. There was very little investment coming 157 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: into our country. It was horrible trade deal after horrible 158 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 1: trade deal under my leadership during the last nine months 159 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:21,319 Speaker 1: of the last eleven months. Forgive me, it's the exact opposite. 160 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:32,199 Speaker 1: Inflation is down, wages are up, employment is up, prices 161 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 1: are down. The trend lines are getting better and better 162 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: and better. Listen now to President Trump, roll cut five, Mike. 163 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 3: Here at home. 164 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 2: We're bringing our economy back from the brink of ruin 165 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 2: to last administration and their allies in Congress looted our 166 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 2: treasury for tridians of driving up prices and everything at 167 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 2: levels never seen before. I am bringing those high prices 168 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 2: down and bringing them down very fast. 169 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 1: Now, it's not just talk. So he said, Okay, you 170 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 1: don't believe me, that's fine. Don't believe me. He said, 171 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 1: Let's look at the facts. Now, this is what we 172 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 1: had under the Biden administration. Now, please, because I know 173 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,560 Speaker 1: we're a year almost a year into Trump's presidency, and 174 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 1: so we're kind of getting used to now, you know, 175 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: Trump's economy. Trump andomics to me, things have clearly gotten better. 176 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,679 Speaker 1: I know I want things to get even more better. 177 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: I hear you, But things have gotten so much better, 178 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 1: and I think we're forgetting like because Americans tend to 179 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: have a short, you know, a short memory just how 180 00:13:55,440 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 1: bad it was, just how bad it was, and the 181 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 1: sense that it was just all spiraling out of control. 182 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 1: Listen now to Trump layout the devastating facts. This was 183 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: the economy that he inherited from. Joey roll cut five A, Mike. 184 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 3: Let's look at the facts. 185 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 2: Under the Biden administration, car prices rose twenty two percent 186 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 2: and in many states thirty percent or more. Gasoline rose 187 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 2: thirty to fifty percent, hotel rates rose thirty seven percent, 188 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 2: airfares rose thirty one percent. Now under our leadership, they 189 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 2: are all coming down and coming down fast. Democrat politicians 190 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 2: also sent the cost of grocery storing, but we are 191 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 2: solving that too. The price of a Thanksgiving turkey was 192 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 2: down thirty three percent compared to the Biden last year. 193 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 2: The price of eggs is down eighty two percent since March, 194 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 2: and everything else is falling rapidly, and it's not done yet, 195 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 2: but boy, are we making progress. Nobody can believe what's 196 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 2: going on. 197 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: So look, I can just speak for myself, all right, 198 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 1: I go at the pump. There's no question. Gas prices 199 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: are lower. I mean, they just are. Gas prices are lower. 200 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 1: My grocery again, I wish I was paying less, There's 201 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 1: no question. But you know, grocery prices are coming down. 202 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 1: You know. I'm just overall inflation, you can see it's 203 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: really beginning to cool. Under Biden, it was, you know, 204 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: it depended on what you were buying, but you were 205 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 1: looking at inflation of nine, ten, eleven, twelve, double digit 206 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 1: inflation fifteen percent. Trump has it down to under three percent. 207 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 1: In other words, he stopped inflation. Inflation has been stopped now. 208 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 1: He then went on to say, just in terms of 209 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: your take home pay, real way, Okay, this is your 210 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 1: money after taxes, after inflation, he goes under Joe Biden, 211 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 1: the middle working class got destroyed under my leadership. Under 212 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: my leadership, you're getting now more take home pay, real wages, 213 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 1: especially if you work in the private sector. I don't 214 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: care construction, you work in a factory, you work in 215 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 1: a coal mine, anywhere in the private sector. Your take 216 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: home pay is going up. Your wages are going Your 217 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 1: real wages after taxes and inflation are going up. And 218 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 1: the best is yet to come. Roll cut five b 219 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 1: Mike here. 220 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 2: It's just some of the efforts that we have underway. 221 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 2: You will see in your wallace and bank accounts in 222 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 2: the new year. After years of record setting falling incomes, 223 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 2: our policies are boosting to compay at a historic pace. 224 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 2: Under Biden, real wages plummeted by three thousand dollars. Under Trump, 225 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 2: the typical factory worker has seen a wage increase of 226 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 2: one thousand, three hundred dollars. For construction workers, it's one thousand, 227 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:21,119 Speaker 2: eight hundred dollars for miners. We're bringing back clean, beautiful 228 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 2: call is three thousand, three hundred dollars. And for the 229 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:29,680 Speaker 2: first time in years, wages are rising much faster than inflation. 230 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 3: Remember that that's the key. 231 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,399 Speaker 1: That's the key. If the wages keep going up, and 232 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,119 Speaker 1: they will and I'm gonna explain this when when I 233 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:40,119 Speaker 1: come back from the break. 234 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 3: Uh. 235 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 1: If wages continue to go up and they keep it 236 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: continues to outpace inflation, well that's that's how you restore 237 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 1: and rebuild the middle class. Six one seven two six, 238 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 1: six sixty eight sixty eight is the number. 239 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 5: Uh. 240 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,120 Speaker 1: Let me put my cards on the table, my friends. 241 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,159 Speaker 1: I think this was one of the most important speeches 242 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: that Trump has ever delivered in his political career. I 243 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 1: think there's no question it was an incredibly powerful speech. 244 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:10,639 Speaker 1: As you can tell by the clips. It was a 245 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: no nonsense speech. It wasn't one of his campaign rally speeches. 246 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 1: He wasn't taking potshots at his political opponents. He you know, 247 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: wasn't having a little bit of fun with the crowd 248 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 1: or anything. It was all business. And what he did 249 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:34,120 Speaker 1: on many levels is he now has really reset the debate. 250 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 1: He in fact, he destroyed the entire narrative, the lies 251 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 1: being peddled by the media. No, we have an inflation problem. 252 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: We inherit it from Biden. Don't try to pass it 253 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 1: off on me. You want to call it quote unquote affordability, 254 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:54,200 Speaker 1: call it whatever you want. This was all created by 255 00:18:54,280 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 1: Joe Biden and his reckless spending and his reckless parties. 256 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:06,400 Speaker 1: All I'm doing now is fixing his mess, his disaster. 257 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: That's all I'm doing now. What he clearly laid out 258 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 1: is that he's put the pieces together now for rebuilding 259 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:21,640 Speaker 1: the American economy and really centering it on the private sector, 260 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:26,159 Speaker 1: on the middle and working class. And so what he 261 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 1: said yesterday in a nutshell, I'll give you Trumpenomics. We're 262 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,880 Speaker 1: gonna make energy low, the price of energy low. We're 263 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:38,120 Speaker 1: gonna be energy dominant. We're drilling oil, natural gas, we're 264 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:42,160 Speaker 1: developing clean coal. This is gonna drive energy costs down. 265 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,680 Speaker 1: Gas prices are going way down. There are at three 266 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:49,440 Speaker 1: dollars a gallon nationally. He says, give this another six 267 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 1: more months, because you look at the trend line, it's 268 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,479 Speaker 1: gonna be at about two bucks a gallon nationally. So 269 00:19:55,520 --> 00:20:00,640 Speaker 1: you're gonna have low energy gas prices that's going lower 270 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: inflation across the entire economy. Then you have the massive 271 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: tax cuts that he signed in the one big, beautiful 272 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 1: bill that is only gonna kick in next year. That's 273 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:21,160 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six. So you're gonna get the largest 274 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 1: tax cut in American history. No tax on tips, no 275 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security. As he 276 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: said in part of his speech, wait until the spring, 277 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:42,199 Speaker 1: you're gonna get the largest tax refund check maybe in 278 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 1: the history of the United States. So as he put it, 279 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: we're gonna be saving you in total eleven to twenty 280 00:20:52,480 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year per family. That's gonna be real money, 281 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 1: real savings in your pocket. Furthermore, because of the tariffs, 282 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,679 Speaker 1: and I'm telling you, I am a big tariff person. 283 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,880 Speaker 1: I am an economic nationalist. I always have been, all 284 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: the way back to George Washington. Washington was pro tariff, 285 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 1: and I could go on and on. Successive presidents have 286 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 1: always said, use a tariff. Better to use a tariff 287 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,200 Speaker 1: than to use an income tax. And I completely agree, 288 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 1: but let that go. His tariffs have done now two things. 289 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: He has now sold trillions of dollars of American products 290 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,919 Speaker 1: to countries all over the world. So we're gonna be 291 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 1: selling a lot more, making a lot more, and we're 292 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 1: reshoring trillions and trillions. In fact, it's about twenty trillion 293 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: dollars in investment, which means plants are being built, factories 294 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:05,679 Speaker 1: are being built, manufacturing is coming back. We're set for 295 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,119 Speaker 1: one of the greatest booms in the history of the 296 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 1: United States. And as he told the country last night, 297 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: I need a Federal Reserve chairman that isn't trying to 298 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:22,400 Speaker 1: choke and strangle the economy. I need someone and I'm 299 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 1: gonna put this person in by the early next year. 300 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 1: Who's gonna cut mortgage rates and interest rates so you 301 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,639 Speaker 1: can afford to borrow money, you can afford to buy 302 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 1: a home. Developers will want to build homes. So it's 303 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:42,919 Speaker 1: all gonna come together at the right time. Listen now 304 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 1: to President Trump, roll cut six, Mike. 305 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 2: I've secured a record breaking eighteen trillion dollars of investment 306 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:02,120 Speaker 2: into the United States, which means jobs, wage increases, growth, 307 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:06,199 Speaker 2: factory openings, and far greater national security. 308 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 3: Much of this success has. 309 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 2: Been accomplished by tariffs, my favorite word, tariffs, which for 310 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 2: many decades have been used successfully by other countries against US, 311 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:23,120 Speaker 2: but not anymore. Companies know that if they build in America, 312 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 2: there are no tariffs, and that's why they're coming home 313 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:30,199 Speaker 2: to the USA in record numbers. They're building factories and 314 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:35,200 Speaker 2: plants at levels we haven't seen AI automobiles. We're doing 315 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:39,639 Speaker 2: what nobody thought was even possible, not even remotely possible. 316 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 2: There has never, frankly been anything like it. 317 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: Amen, Brother, Amen, that one of the big changes. And 318 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 1: he addressed it last night, and I thought he was 319 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 1: a thousand, not one hundred, one thousand percent correct. Biden 320 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 1: was killing the auto industry. There's no question he was 321 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:01,919 Speaker 1: killing killing the auto industry. He was forcing them to 322 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 1: make these electric vehicles, these evs that nobody wanted to buy. 323 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:14,680 Speaker 1: They were making cars that people didn't want, and they 324 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 1: were trying to force people to buy cars we didn't want, 325 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 1: and the car companies to make cars they didn't want 326 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 1: to make because there was no real market for these 327 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,399 Speaker 1: evs and these electric vehicles. All in the name of 328 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:33,120 Speaker 1: quote unquote climate change, all in the name of quote 329 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: unquote green energy. Trumps came in. Trump has said over 330 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:42,119 Speaker 1: the last eleven months, I saved the American car industry 331 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 1: what I said was build the cars that your customers want. 332 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:53,680 Speaker 1: They want the internal combustion engine, Give it to them. 333 00:24:54,320 --> 00:25:00,360 Speaker 1: They want gas powered cars, Give it to them. And 334 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,919 Speaker 1: now cars are flying off. I mean they're just flying 335 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 1: off the factories they're starting.

Under Trump, 367 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:34,400 Speaker 1: he has shattered that model. And now what he's told 368 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 1: the country is now, it takes time. As he said, 369 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 1: Rome wasn't built in a day. Okay, as the famous 370 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:44,680 Speaker 1: saying goes, but we're going to build a middle working 371 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:54,919 Speaker 1: class economy that puts the taxpayer and productive citizens first first.

So one 387 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 1: of the new proposals that came out of yesterday's speech, 388 00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 1: one was not so new, He's been talking about it 389 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 1: now for months.

Okay, do you like this idea? 416 00:30:56,160 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 1: Do you support this idea? Already the left Democrats are 417 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 1: poo pooing it, saying it's a gimmick. What's one thousand, 418 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 1: seven hundred and seventy six dollars, He's trying to buy 419 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 1: votes of the military. Blah blah blah blah. Look, I 420 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 1: can tell you this. I got text after text from 421 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 1: service members, many of them listen to the show, love 422 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 1: this show. They go, you know, to these rich Democrat fatcats. Yeah, 423 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 1: maybe they can scoff at seventeen hundred and seventy six dollars. 424 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 1: Let's just round it off, eighteen hundred dollars. You know, 425 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 1: when you're struggling and you're living check to check, and 426 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,400 Speaker 1: you're living hand to mouth, as many members in our 427 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:45,760 Speaker 1: military do, believe me, an eighteen hundred dollars check, especially 428 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,360 Speaker 1: at Christmas time, pay for some gifts, Maybe put a 429 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 1: little money into bank. I don't know, maybe go out 430 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 1: and buy some extra groceries, maybe pay some bills. It helps. 431 00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 1: Let me put it to you this way. So is 432 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:03,280 Speaker 1: it better for them not to have seventeen to one, 433 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 1: seven hundred and seventy six dollars. It's better for them 434 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:11,240 Speaker 1: to have no refund whatsoever, no dividend check whatsoever. If 435 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,239 Speaker 1: someone said to you, hey, would you rather get an 436 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:18,240 Speaker 1: eighteen hundred dollars check from the government, a dividend check 437 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 1: for your service to our country, a little bonus, or 438 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 1: to get zero? Would you turn down the eighteen hundred. 439 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 1: I wouldn't turn down the eighteen hundred. Now, maybe for Pelosi, 440 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 1: maybe for Kamalaw, maybe for the Clintons, maybe for the Obamas, 441 00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 1: maybe for the Bidens. Maybe this is tipping money. I 442 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:42,320 Speaker 1: get it, but not everybody's a politician and not everybody's 443 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 1: a crook. So to me, I like the gesture. I 444 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 1: think they deserve it. I wish they could get more. 445 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 1: But something is better than nothing. That's me. Now. I 446 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 1: want to ask you, let's set the table. Did you 447 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 1: watch Trump's speech? Question number one? What was your reaction? 448 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 1: Did you like it? Did you not like it? What 449 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:10,520 Speaker 1: did you make of him trying to reframe the issue 450 00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 1: and the debate over his first year in office, especially 451 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 1: on the affordability issue. Did he shatter the Democrat media narrative. 452 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,120 Speaker 1: Or do you think that Democrats are still going to 453 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 1: run on so called affordability next year? And is did 454 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:35,880 Speaker 1: trump speech sway you or persuade you that the trend 455 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 1: lines are going up, They're looking good. He's made some 456 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:44,640 Speaker 1: inroads and more and the best is yet to come? 457 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 1: Or do you think it was all smoke and no fire. 458 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 1: I'm just curious six one seven two six six sixty 459 00:33:55,280 --> 00:34:00,600 Speaker 1: eight sixty eight over the last eleven months, dominating now 460 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:07,040 Speaker 1: to today under Trump as your personal economic standard of living, 461 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:14,000 Speaker 1: your personal economic life, has it gotten better or worse? 462 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:20,880 Speaker 1: And are you happy with Trump's stewardship of the economy 463 00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:27,440 Speaker 1: six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight.

Basically, i'd say about one hundred and fifty 490 00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 1: thousand a year. My family is barely scraping by car 491 00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:14,560 Speaker 1: insurance jumped forty percent this year. Wow, I just got 492 00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:20,520 Speaker 1: my homeowner's insurance renewal, it's going up thirty three percent. 493 00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:26,640 Speaker 1: My employer provided health insurance at work is going up 494 00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:33,080 Speaker 1: twenty five percent in January, and the collpays and deductibles 495 00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:38,200 Speaker 1: are soaring.

My raise 506 00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:21,640 Speaker 1: for this year two point five percent. Did I get 507 00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:27,560 Speaker 1: a quote unquote raise this year? Hell no, Sure. Gas 508 00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:32,440 Speaker 1: is down. I can't afford to drive anywhere except to 509 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:37,279 Speaker 1: work anyway, So what's the difference. Eggs are down, so 510 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,560 Speaker 1: what I can't eat them or my cholesterol will go 511 00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:42,759 Speaker 1: through the roof and I'll end up with a ten 512 00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:45,920 Speaker 1: thousand dollars hospital bill from my deductible. When I have 513 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,480 Speaker 1: to pay, I have to have to have stints put 514 00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:53,600 Speaker 1: into my arteries. The political party in power always quote 515 00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:58,000 Speaker 1: unquote cooks the books when it comes to job reports 516 00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:02,880 Speaker 1: and inflation reports. People out there aren't falling for it. 517 00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:08,040 Speaker 1: We know what the real inflation rate is because we 518 00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:12,640 Speaker 1: have to try to pay the bills each month. The 519 00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:18,120 Speaker 1: Republicans are tone deaf. Trump is more interested in foreign 520 00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:22,839 Speaker 1: affairs in an attempt to win the Nobel Peace Prize. 521 00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:27,479 Speaker 1: He is completely out of touch. The Republicans are going 522 00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:31,520 Speaker 1: to get decimated in the midterms. It is too little 523 00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:37,200 Speaker 1: too late. That speech should have been given on January 524 00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:43,760 Speaker 1: twenty first, twenty twenty five. I e over eleven months ago. 525 00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:50,920 Speaker 1: I've been a Republican my whole voting life. My friends 526 00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:56,439 Speaker 1: are all Republicans, and we all say the same thing. 527 00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:05,879 Speaker 1: So Michael Powerful eloquently personally is saying, my life under 528 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:12,200 Speaker 1: Trump hasn't gotten better. My home insurance up, my car 529 00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:16,680 Speaker 1: insurance up, my healthcare costs up. I go to the 530 00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:21,920 Speaker 1: grocery store, I buy one bag. It's over one hundred dollars. Yes, 531 00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:24,640 Speaker 1: some things are better, but it doesn't make much of 532 00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:27,760 Speaker 1: an impact in my life. Yeah, gas is down, eggs 533 00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:31,320 Speaker 1: are down, but so what on the bigger ticket items 534 00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:35,799 Speaker 1: I'm bleeding And that he believes and many like him 535 00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,239 Speaker 1: do believe his friends and others. I know because I 536 00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:41,120 Speaker 1: get the emails in the text all the time that 537 00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:44,720 Speaker 1: Trump has squandered too much of his eleven months in office, 538 00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:51,040 Speaker 1: chasing a Nobel Peace Prize, overly preoccupied with foreign affairs, 539 00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:55,840 Speaker 1: and he has not focused on affordability issues and on 540 00:39:55,880 --> 00:40:03,000 Speaker 1: the domestic economy enough on the border, yes, on deportations, Yes, 541 00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:08,920 Speaker 1: on drugs and fentanyl, yes, but on bread and butter, 542 00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:13,920 Speaker 1: economic cost of living issues. This is the I'm hearing 543 00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:18,319 Speaker 1: this criticism of many Trump supporters. They feel he has 544 00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:24,080 Speaker 1: fallen down on the job or not delivered. Michael expressed 545 00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:29,040 Speaker 1: that in his email to me. Do you agree with Michael? 546 00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:34,480 Speaker 1: Do you disagree with Michael? Six one seven two six 547 00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:38,680 Speaker 1: six sixty eight sixty eight is the number I can 548 00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:42,560 Speaker 1: tell you from my experience, and this is just my life. 549 00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:49,840 Speaker 1: My family life has gotten better under Trump, not dramatically better, 550 00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:54,080 Speaker 1: but better. And the key is the bleeding has stopped. 551 00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:58,640 Speaker 1: It was infinitely worse under Biden. And I'm feeling more 552 00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:04,200 Speaker 1: optimistic today than I was eleven months ago. But that's me. 553 00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,800 Speaker 1: I want to hear from you. All right, Let's unleash 554 00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:11,280 Speaker 1: the hounds, as they say, best audience in the business, 555 00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,520 Speaker 1: Let's go to them. Six one seven two six six 556 00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:22,120 Speaker 1: sixty eight sixty eight. Dave in Western Pennsylvania, our constitutionalist 557 00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:27,359 Speaker 1: correspondent out in the Pittsburgh area. Did you watch the speech, Dave? 558 00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:30,080 Speaker 1: What did you make of it? Go my friend? 559 00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:31,759 Speaker 3: So I did. 560 00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:35,320 Speaker 6: Jeff, I'm really getting on at seven. But that's okay. Listen, Jeff, 561 00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:37,359 Speaker 6: I think Trump hit the ball out of the park. 562 00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:39,279 Speaker 6: That guy that just emailed you. I don't know what 563 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:42,239 Speaker 6: universe he's on, but he's out. He's out in the 564 00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:45,360 Speaker 6: outer part of the Milky Way, near the Uranus the planet. 565 00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,120 Speaker 6: But Jeff, listen, he hit the ball out of the pocket. 566 00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,960 Speaker 6: Could give the military maybe twenty one seventy six that 567 00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:54,840 Speaker 6: would be better, but you know who's counting. But you 568 00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,480 Speaker 6: know what, Jeff, It's okay because you know what, Usually 569 00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:00,719 Speaker 6: the Democrats give a response to these speeches, right, they 570 00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:03,120 Speaker 6: will left dumb, null and void, as they always are. 571 00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:05,799 Speaker 6: And Jeff in what he needs to do, He needs 572 00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:08,960 Speaker 6: to do more of these during this midterm election year. 573 00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:11,480 Speaker 6: Come on like every two weeks and maybe twice a month. 574 00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,600 Speaker 6: Remind Look, and he needs to say this, Jeff, because 575 00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:17,120 Speaker 6: you know there's a lot of dumb Rhinos and middle 576 00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:19,959 Speaker 6: of the road conservatives out there. I'mti party, Jeff. Okay, 577 00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:23,160 Speaker 6: here's a Jewish Christian, a Messianic jew that's my faith. 578 00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,480 Speaker 6: Like we said last time, you're a Catholic. I respect that, 579 00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,320 Speaker 6: But Jeff, here's what it is. He needs to remind people. 580 00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:30,920 Speaker 6: I may not be on the ballot, but act the 581 00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:32,920 Speaker 6: zip I'm on the ballot because that's going to help 582 00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,960 Speaker 6: us keep the House and keep the center his Membersjef in. 583 00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:39,920 Speaker 6: In the midterms, usually the inside patty loses, you know, 584 00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:43,320 Speaker 6: the web As a presidency, and when Trump's name is 585 00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:46,399 Speaker 6: on the ballot, Republicans, there's no red wave, Jeff. There 586 00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:49,279 Speaker 6: needs to be a red wave, Jeff, conservative wave, not 587 00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,120 Speaker 6: a Rhino wave, a conservative wave. 588 00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:55,719 Speaker 1: Well, Dave, I got to tell you, I'm so with 589 00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:58,319 Speaker 1: you Trump. When you were talking, I'm nodding my head 590 00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:01,719 Speaker 1: up and down. Yes, yes, yes. He needs to do 591 00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:04,640 Speaker 1: a lot more of these, the way FDR did his 592 00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:09,480 Speaker 1: fireside chats. I love the speech. He gave yesterday. I 593 00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:12,600 Speaker 1: thought it was a great speech. He finally's really communicating 594 00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:16,920 Speaker 1: his message directly to the American people. I want more, 595 00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:20,279 Speaker 1: and he needs to do more. That's the only way 596 00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:23,760 Speaker 1: he can bust through that filter that the media has 597 00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:27,880 Speaker 1: where they just keep running him down, running the country down, 598 00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:31,560 Speaker 1: running the economy down, always with doom and gloom. The 599 00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:35,799 Speaker 1: sky is falling. So I agree with you. I'd like 600 00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:39,399 Speaker 1: to see it once a week, every week. And if 601 00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:43,080 Speaker 1: he can't, you get the networks to carry him. Do videos, 602 00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:46,400 Speaker 1: do whatever you got to do, but keep getting that 603 00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:49,879 Speaker 1: message out. Dave. I know you're a worker. You got 604 00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:51,360 Speaker 1: to go into work. I want to ask you this 605 00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:55,000 Speaker 1: question in relation to Michael's email, and I don't want 606 00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,960 Speaker 1: you to react to Michael. I want to he says, Look, Jeff, 607 00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:01,360 Speaker 1: and he's just ticking stuff off my car insurance, my 608 00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:05,000 Speaker 1: health insurance. Uh, you know, right down the line, my 609 00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:08,360 Speaker 1: my home insurance. When I go to the grocery store, 610 00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:14,160 Speaker 1: everything inflation is killing me. Things are becoming too expensive. 611 00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:16,920 Speaker 1: I'm drowning man.

I 671 00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:25,480 Speaker 1: mean give or take a few bucks. 672 00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:28,520 Speaker 4: Correct, Yeah, yeah, because visa was up over five dollars 673 00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:30,719 Speaker 4: a gallon, So yeah, I mean. 674 00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:33,080 Speaker 1: That's that's three hundred bucks a load. I mean, correct 675 00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:37,440 Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong, Tom, That's that's not peanuts. Am 676 00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:37,879 Speaker 1: I wrong? 677 00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:38,840 Speaker 7: Sure? 678 00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:42,680 Speaker 4: No, it's sir.

But yeah, 681 00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:53,279 Speaker 4: food's still expensive. You know, it's and you know, it's 682 00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:55,439 Speaker 4: like the old thing, you know, you gotta walk before 683 00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:57,520 Speaker 4: you run. It's gonna take a while, you know, for 684 00:47:57,719 --> 00:47:59,200 Speaker 4: this to come back around. 685 00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:03,600 Speaker 1: We got hit, Tom. I gotta say, I think your 686 00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:07,160 Speaker 1: analogy is brilliant. Really. It's like it's like disaster relief, 687 00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:11,239 Speaker 1: you know, like the disaster recovery. I mean it's sort 688 00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:14,360 Speaker 1: of like, you know, like a plane crash and it's like, 689 00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:16,560 Speaker 1: you know, Trump is like pulling people out of the plane, 690 00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:20,040 Speaker 1: you know, and Okay, we're gonna start and we're gonna 691 00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:22,279 Speaker 1: rebuild a plane. Now you know what I mean, Like 692 00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:26,399 Speaker 1: we're saving lives, we're rescuing people. Okay, now we're gonna 693 00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:29,920 Speaker 1: start rebuilding the plane. Uh. And I think that's pretty 694 00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:32,200 Speaker 1: much that, you know, if I was to summarize the speech, 695 00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:33,240 Speaker 1: I think that was a speech. 696 00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:34,600 Speaker 5: Uh. 697 00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:37,200 Speaker 1: And he's basically saying I just he really saying give 698 00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:40,160 Speaker 1: me six more months. He's really basically what he said 699 00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,279 Speaker 1: is give me to the second quarter. The end of 700 00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:45,440 Speaker 1: the second quarter, you're gonna get the tax cuts kicking in. 701 00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:48,480 Speaker 1: You're gonna get your tax refund. I'm gonna give everybody 702 00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:52,839 Speaker 1: a two thousand dollars tariff refund check. You're gonna see 703 00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:57,320 Speaker 1: prices continue to go down. He's basically saying by about 704 00:48:57,400 --> 00:49:01,880 Speaker 1: six about say, June of next year, he says, the 705 00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:06,000 Speaker 1: economy is going to be clicking on all cylinders, So 706 00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:11,799 Speaker 1: we'll see fingers crossed.

He's been in 713 00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:46,719 Speaker 7: office eleven months. I mean, give me a break. What 714 00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:50,600 Speaker 7: are they expecting? He needs to lay the ground walk 715 00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:56,200 Speaker 7: to get all of this charging again, That's what he's doing. 716 00:49:56,640 --> 00:50:03,040 Speaker 7: And we as Republicans do exist exactly what our you know, 717 00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:08,040 Speaker 7: in our Congress and the Senate do.

And I honestly believe Trump is doing 723 00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:36,279 Speaker 7: exactly the right thing. Look at what's happening with all 724 00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:37,600 Speaker 7: of these lawsuits. 725 00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:39,880 Speaker 1: Mary, can you do me a favor.
