Speaker 4: gonna go full prosperity.

10
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 5: Kamala Harris, She'll always serve this country of purpose and integrity,

11
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 5: and she always will.

12

Speaker 6: Context in which you exist.

16
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I did that. Uh huh.

17
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 3: Freedom is back in style.

18
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 4: Welcome to the revolution.

19
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 3: Will come.

20
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: To you, don't play gets talas and sang you a concount.

21
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 5: The New Sean Hannity Show, Morvy him the scenes, information

22
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 5: on freaking news, and more bold inspired solutions for America for.

23
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 2: Our final news roundup and information overload. Hey everyone, welcome

24
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 2: back to The Sean Hannity Show. This is Sarah Carter

25
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 2: filling in for my good friend Sean Hannity, and I

26
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 2: have another very good friend coming on the show. It's

27
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 2: Lewis Elizondo. Lou Elizondo. As you know, many of you

28
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 2: may have seen him. He has testified before Congress on

29
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 2: the unidentified aerial phenomena that is happening over our skies

30
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 2: and the history of that happening over our skies going

31
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 2: all the way back to the nineteen forties and before.

32
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: Folks, this is a big deal.

33
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 2: He was head of the Pentagon's A tip program, and

34
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 2: he is an integral part of the disclosure process that

35
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 2: is happening in the United States. That means talking about

36
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 2: what is happening in our skies and not feeling ashamed

37
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 2: to talk about things we do not understand, but instead

38
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 2: studying them an investigating them, not poo pooing them. Right

39
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 2: like we've seen in the news in the past. We

40
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,559
Speaker 2: have an issue though happening. Of course, everybody's been watching

41
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 2: the news. Hundreds of drones, thousands actually swarming over you know,

42
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 2: New Jersey. We've seen them coming off of the coast.

43
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 2: People have seen them.

44
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: All over Jersey.

45
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 2: I was concerned even flying into LaGuardia because I was like,

46
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 2: what is going on here? And I know the President

47
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 2: was concerned about this as well. We have a couple

48
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 2: of clips we want to play for you. I want

49
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 2: to go to cut five. First, if we could go ahead,

50
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 2: Ethan and play that, Thanks Jena Rider.

51
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:40,519
Speaker 7: So back to the drones. Can you I don't equivocally

52
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 7: say that none of the drones that are being spotted

53
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 7: are DoD assets or something that's being tested within the

54
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 7: Defense Department. Are all of these either civilian or otherwise,

55
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 7: but just not Department of Defense drums talking.

56
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,119
Speaker 6: About the drones in New Jersey up and down the Yes,

57
00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 6: they are not dood assets.

58
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 3: One of them are.

59
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 6: To my knowledge, none of them are.

60
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 7: Okay, And are there any sort of experimental programs going

61
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 7: on or maybe you know, drunes are being tested it.

62
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 6: To my knowledge? Note, Okay, is it possible that some

63
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 6: of those drones could be up to malign activity. It's

64
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 6: entirely possible, but the vast majority that is not, you

65
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 6: know the case, and in the case of drones flying

66
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 6: near over US military installations, that in and of itself,

67
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 6: just given the volume of drone flights we see on

68
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 6: a given day, is not something that's new. We take

69
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 6: all of those seriously.

70
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 2: You know, this is very serious. We don't know what

71
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 2: is in our skies. We know that we have people

72
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 2: that are investigating this. We want our pilots our military

73
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 2: and our senior officials to feel comfortable reporting this. And

74
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 2: I got to tell you, I was so disappointed when

75
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 2: I heard John Kirby about this and trying to gaslight

76
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,839
Speaker 2: the American public and other people in the Pentagon as well,

77
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 2: trying to gaslight the American public. Thank god we have

78
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 2: this General Pat Rder talking about this. But I'm very concerned.

79
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: We do not know.

80
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 2: We do not know what is going on because our

81
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 2: government is keeping us in the dark. And President Trump

82
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 2: made that very very clear. Lou, thank you so much

83
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 2: for being on the show, my friend. It's great to

84
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 2: have you here.

85
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 3: Sarah. It is always my honor and privilege to be

86
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 3: with you in your wonderful audience.

87
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: Matt, I got to tell you, Lou, you're the expert.

88
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 2: You're the expert. You were head of the A Tip program.

89
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 2: You probably know more than you can divulge. You testified

90
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 2: before Congress. Tell me what your assessment is on these UAPs.

91
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 3: Well, Look, the drone issue is real and it's serious.

92
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 3: And despite even the state of New Jersey imposing a

93
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 3: moratorium in all drone flights until about mid January, as

94
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 3: of this morning, there's still drones that are flying around

95
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 3: the White House's assertion that all these are legal aircraft,

96
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 3: either hobbyists or you know, commercial aircraft or privately owned aircraft,

97
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 3: and even law enforcement aircraft. It just doesn't hold water.

98
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 3: And the problem is is that it's really eroding any

99
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 3: faith and confidence we have in our administration. And this

100
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 3: is a problem because they've already said, for the record, Sarah,

101
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 3: that these are not foreign adversarial technologies. They've also said

102
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 3: that these are not our technologies. Well, then if it's

103
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 3: not avissarion is not ours, who's is it? And simply

104
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 3: to say that these are you know, private people that

105
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 3: are legally operating their drones. You don't shut down military

106
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,679
Speaker 3: bases because people are flying their drones legally. You shut

107
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 3: them down because they're being flown illegally.

108
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 2: Right, let's talk about right Patterson. Right, there was an

109
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 2: issue there and they came clean. They said, yeah, we've

110
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 2: had these, you know, incidences where these drones have been

111
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 2: flying over. We've seen it in other bases. And lou

112
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 2: you talk about five observables. I've read your book, love

113
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 2: your book, and I you know, I pay a lot

114
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 2: of attention to what you say. But there are five

115
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 2: observables that the Pentagon looks for when it comes to UAPs,

116
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 2: when they are not either ours nor our enemies, and

117
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 2: when these technologies appear to be far beyond what we

118
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 2: have capabilities of.

119
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 3: That's correct, and that was a result of our scientists

120
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 3: looking into this and realizing that there are five distinct

121
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 3: performance capabilities for signatures, if you will, that make UAP

122
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 3: stand far and above beyond anything we have, and that

123
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 3: is the five observables are instantaneous acceleration, hypersonic velocities, low observability,

124
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 3: trans medium travel, and in the vernacular, anti gravity. And

125
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 3: believe it or not, Sarah, some of these UAP have

126
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 3: been described initially as as at least having some of

127
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 3: those characteristics. Some eyewitnesses report these drones coming out of

128
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 3: the water. Some of them report these drones when being

129
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 3: approached by another drone, is literally just disappearing into thin

130
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 3: air and maybe even having some sort of counter drone

131
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 3: measure on board, because at least on one or two occasions,

132
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 3: it appears that whatever these drones are are disabling other

133
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 3: people that are trying to fly a drone and get

134
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 3: a good picture of it, and in the words of

135
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 3: one source, literally disappearing into thin air. So I think

136
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 3: with creating so much problem here is that the administration

137
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 3: isn't being open and honest with the American people. And thankfully,

138
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 3: I think the new administration gets it and realizes that

139
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 3: the American people deserve the truth. You know, I've always

140
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 3: said we can handle the truth, and I think the

141
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 3: American people deserve the truth.

142
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 2: I think they absolutely do deserve the truth. And I

143
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 2: love what you said to John Kirby. It's like, I mean,

144
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 2: how can you sit there and you posted this on

145
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 2: your X How can you sit there and say what

146
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 2: you're saying. Why not just come clean with the American

147
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 2: people and let them know unless there's something that we're

148
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 2: not the government's trying to protect us from. I mean,

149
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 2: I've seen all the reports that these could be snippers,

150
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 2: that we've got drones out there that might be looking

151
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 2: for something, God help us, radioactive or something more that

152
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,239
Speaker 2: the possibility that we may have are US drones, although

153
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 2: right now the generals saying that there aren't any US

154
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 2: military drones, that they're monitoring foreign drones in the sky,

155
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,119
Speaker 2: or as you know, we have reported in the past,

156
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 2: and Lou you've talked about so I mean, look, if

157
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 2: there was anybody in the world out there, guys that

158
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 2: has made it easier for people to report what is

159
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 2: happening in our skies.

160
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: It's lou Elizondo.

161
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 2: I mean, you were the one that testified before Congress

162
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 2: along with other whistleblowers about what the Pentagon was hiding

163
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 2: from the American people and from the world for that matter.

164
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 3: I appreciate the accolades, but truth be told, I don't

165
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 3: deserve all that credit there was. It's always been a

166
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 3: team effort. There's a lot of people behind the shadows.

167
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,559
Speaker 3: And I got to tell you, Sarah, you know you've

168
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 3: been championing this cause too, and ultimately it's about transparency

169
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 3: and honesty with the American people that at the end

170
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 3: of the day, you know whether these drones are Chinese

171
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 3: or Russian or ours or anything else, just level with

172
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 3: the American people. Look, Americans are more sophisticated than I

173
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 3: think our government gives credit. And you know the reason

174
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 3: why we are at an all time low of distrust

175
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 3: of our government is because of this this type of

176
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 3: action of constantly lying and saying for things like, well,

177
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 3: the Afghanistan withdrawal was successful, No, it wasn't. You have

178
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 3: pictures of human beings clinging onto the skin of a

179
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 3: C seventeen that are going to be falling to their deaths.

180
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 3: It wasn't a success. And unfortunately this administration wherein now

181
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 3: has a bad track record of leveling with the American people.

182
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 3: I am extremely optimistic that this this new administration. There's

183
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 3: some key people there that feel very strongly about being

184
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 3: open and transparent with the American people and won't say

185
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 3: who they are, but they are in key positions, and

186
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 3: I think the administration is signaling correctly that it's about

187
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 3: time that we become more open and honest with the

188
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 3: American people, particularly about a topic that involves national security,

189
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 3: whether it's drones or UAP or a combination of either,

190
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:57,959
Speaker 3: or you.

191
00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 2: Know, I was thinking about that while you were talking

192
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 2: and about remember when the balloons were coming across the

193
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 2: United States and we eventually they had to admit that

194
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 2: these were Chinese and that they were probably measuring, you know,

195
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 2: they were penetrating our ground using ground penetrating radar.

196
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 1: What was going on.

197
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 2: It was EPP in Montana, and you know Montana, Wyoming,

198
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 2: that's where all our ICBMs are. It was actually up

199
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 2: there for Sean Hannity doing a story on the Chinese

200
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 2: basically putting in technology into our verizon towers in an

201
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 2: area that is highly sensitive. And now you see these

202
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 2: drones going over our US military bases.

203
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: There's a lot of concern.

204
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 2: And just today Lou the same general and Pentagon spokesman

205
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 2: Pat Ryder said that there are actually more troops than

206
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 2: what was being reported in Syria. It's like nobody knows

207
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 2: what the right hand doesn't know what the left hand

208
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 2: is doing. That literally, there are two thousand US troops

209
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 2: in Syria. I think we reported there was somewhere around

210
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 2: seven hundred, and now it's double that and I have

211
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 2: the thank you Linda, Linda brought it to me right now, Biden.

212
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 2: Pentagon spokesman Pat Ryder says he recently learned they're actually

213
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 2: two thousand plus US troops deployed in Syria, far more

214
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 2: than the nine hundred they had previously announced. You're a

215
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 2: military man. There's always reasons for things. But do you

216
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 2: feel like we're living in a time where the right

217
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 2: hand doesn't know what the left is doing.

218
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 3: Well, I think it's clear that is the case. We

219
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:30,559
Speaker 3: have this almost schizophrenic approach to public relations. Coming out

220
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 3: of the National Security Council and the White House and

221
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 3: even the Pentagon, and it's frankly, it's embarrassing in any

222
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 3: of our foreign adversaries, our allies.

223
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 2: Right, well, take a listen to this. This is the

224
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 2: actual audio. We've got that too, and then you respond

225
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 2: to it takes.

226
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 6: I know we have been briefing you regularly that there

227
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 6: are approximately nine hundred US troops deployed to Syria. In

228
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 6: light of the situation in Syria and the significant interest,

229
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 6: we recently learned that those numbers we're higher, and so

230
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 6: asked to look into it. I learned today that, in fact,

231
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 6: there are approximately two thousand US troops in Syria. As

232
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 6: I understand it, and as it was explained to me,

233
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 6: these additional forces are considered temporary rotational forces that deploy

234
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:21,079
Speaker 6: to meet shifting mission requirements, whereas the core nine hundred

235
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 6: deployers are on longer term deployments. And as you know,

236
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 6: for many of our deployments, numbers will fluctuate from time

237
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 6: to time. But given that this number is significantly higher

238
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 6: than what we've been briefing, I wanted to let you know.

239
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 6: As soon as I found out this information.

240
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,079
Speaker 2: It's like Okay, let's come clean now that we're leaving

241
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 2: office and we don't Yeah, we'll let everybody know the

242
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 2: truth about what's going on. I mean, I feel like

243
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 2: that's happening everywhere loo.

244
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 3: Yeah. Correct, It's basically, once we got caught with our

245
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 3: hanes in the cookie jar, then we'll decide to come clean.

246
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,839
Speaker 3: And you know, oh, by the way, you're right, we've

247
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 3: been putting out inaccurate information and I think that is

248
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 3: again part of the problem that we're seeing is that

249
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 3: the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing.

250
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 3: And more importantly, you know, when you start doing these

251
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 3: semantics between deployed and temporarily depoloid and rotational troops, look

252
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 3: to that troop on the ground. It doesn't matter. You

253
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 3: can ask your hero husband who actually served as well.

254
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 3: You know, for those troops on the ground, they're on

255
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,079
Speaker 3: the ground, and you know, for the administration to say, oh, well,

256
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,079
Speaker 3: because they're rotational, we really didn't count them, that's a

257
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 3: bunch of whoy And that's a disservice to our men

258
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,719
Speaker 3: and women in uniform who are actually serving because, let

259
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 3: me tell you, in combat, there's no distinction. You know,

260
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 3: you're all in combat you're in combat and the multives

261
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 3: are flying, So these folks are in danger. They're over

262
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 3: there in Syria, and these underestimations are unfortunately more routine

263
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 3: than most people realize. They're doing the same thing with

264
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 3: the drowns. It's the same exact thing. They're doing it

265
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 3: with just about every other topic right now. And I suspect,

266
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 3: I don't know for sure, but I suspect that this

267
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 3: administration is probably checked out at this point. They've got

268
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 3: a lot on their plate. They got to deal with.

269
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 4: The new allegations that maybe there are some people that

270
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 4: knew that the press and it had some some some

271
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 4: of his mental faculty compromise early on is now finally

272
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 4: coming to light, and that some decisions remained that you know,

273
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 4: maybe some staffers were in positions that, you know, maybe

274
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 4: they shouldn't have been, and we're making decisions that they

275
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 4: didn't have the authority.

276
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 5: To make one percent.

277
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 1: I've always said, who's really running that White House? Right?

278
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: I mean, is it Obama through staffers? Is it?

279
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 7: You know?

280
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: Is it Michelle?

281
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 4: No?

282
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 2: I mean, it was certainly it was certainly a problem,

283
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 2: and they were trying to keep that from the public,

284
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 2: and it was a run a muck.

285
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: It was It was an administration. An administration, run a muk.

286
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 2: Look, I'm going to be letting you go in a

287
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 2: few minutes, but I want everyone to hear this is

288
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 2: your book, Inside Inside the Pentagon's Hunt for UFOs Eminent.

289
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 2: You gave people a lot of courage Loo, you and

290
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 2: Christopher Mellon among others, but you in particular to speak

291
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 2: out and speak up and tell the truth. The American

292
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 2: people can handle it. We can handle it right, and

293
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 2: people should continue to speak out and tell the truth

294
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 2: about what they see in our skies.

295
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 3: Absolutely, Sarah, thank you for your courage, for always being

296
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 3: one of the first to report this. You and a

297
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 3: few others were really the first journalist to decide to

298
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 3: cover this topic. And you know what, history is going

299
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 3: to prove you're right, so you know.

300
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 2: Hey, thank you so much. I was reporting on it

301
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 2: back in twenty ten. And I'll see you again, my

302
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 2: friend back on the show. Thank you so much for

303
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 2: being with us today. Folks will be back in a moment.

304
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 2: This is Sarah Carter for the Sean Hannity Show. Hey, everyone,

305
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 2: welcome back to the Sean Hannity Show. This is Sarah Carter,

306
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 2: in for Sean Handity on this beautiful evening. I hope

307
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 2: you're all enjoying yourselves and getting everything you need for Christmas.

308
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 2: By the way, there is a strike at Amazon. I

309
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 2: am very concerned about. That's why I'm bringing on an

310
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 2: expert at our last segment, Anthony Esposito, to talk to us.

311
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: What's going to happen? Are we going to get our packages?

312
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: What is going on?

313
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 2: And why is all the breaking news happening today? Right

314
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 2: It's happening like right now, I'm just learning how to

315
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,040
Speaker 2: do this radio show. This is crazy, and I'm we

316
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 2: got breaking news all over the place. By the way,

317
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 2: one is which the cr the Continuing Resolution, which went

318
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 2: from over one thy, five hundred and forty seven pages

319
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 2: down to one hundred and sixteen. It was sixteen Linda,

320
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 2: one hundred and sixteen Linda. Did we do we know

321
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 2: what pork was left in that bill? Yet we don't

322
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 2: because we got it about twenty five minutes ago and

323
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 2: they're voting at six o'clock. So yet again, see the

324
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 2: insanity of this, folks, the insanity that we don't even

325
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 2: have a chance. But thank god, it's I mean, it's

326
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 2: been reduced, but we still don't know what's in it.

327
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 2: We still don't understand what's going on. And this is

328
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 2: the reason why we have people like you know, Congressmanship

329
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 2: Roy fighting it. We've got Senators like Mike Lee screaming

330
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 2: mad about it. Elon Musk vivek Raamswami. I mean, we're

331
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 2: gonna we're gonna update you. I'm sure on this. We're

332
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 2: gonna find out what is going on in that CR.

333
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 2: I'm grateful it wasn't the one thousand, five hundred and

334
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 2: forty seven.

335
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: But we will be right back.

336
00:16:56,120 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 2: With Anthony Esposito, CEO of Island Capital Investments, to talk

337
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 2: about Amazon, Will you get your Christmas Presents?

338
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 7: The radio show, the mainstream media, a love state.

Speaker 2: This is the Sean Hannity Show. All right, everyone, Hey,

00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 2: Jeffries just came in the House Minority Leader Hakim Jeffries.

344
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 2: He said, no Democrat's gonna vote for this CR bill.

345
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 2: So what happens next? I guess well, we're gonna have

346
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 2: to wait till six pm to find out, find out

347
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 2: if they're gonna vote for it or if they're gonna

348
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 2: cave in and they're gonna do what. I don't even

349
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 2: know what the Republicans say should be done some of

350
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 2: these Republicans, not all Republicans. I say, we need more time.

351
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 2: We need to look at this bill. We need to

352
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 2: find out what's going on. We can't just cave in

353
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 2: whenever you know, somebody screams on Capitol Hill. But guess what,

354
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 2: right now, Amazon workers across seven facilities and this is

355
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 2: just the worst time. But this is what unions do.

356
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 2: They like to do what the lawmakers are doing right now.

357
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 2: They wait for Christmas and try to ruin it for

358
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 2: everybody to try to get their way.

359
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: These are babies.

360
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 2: These are legislative bullies and Amazon bullies. Right in New York, Georgia, California, Illinois.

361
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 2: They go on strike, they go on strike, these team stirs,

362
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,439
Speaker 2: and they want to shut down Christmas. They are the

363
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 2: grinches that want to steal Christmas so that they can

364
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 2: get more money. That's all they care about. That's what

365
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 2: they're caring about right now. It's not about Christmas, not

366
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 2: about you. But I'm gonna find out if this is

367
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 2: really going to happen. Are we really not going to

368
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 2: get our Christmas presents on time? My daughter will flip

369
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 2: and that's okay. It's first world problems. I've got Anthony

370
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 2: Esposito on. He's CEO of Island Investment Capital Investments LC

371
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 2: and host of Policy and Profits. I love this podcast.

372
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 2: It's a podcast on our economy and on our government,

373
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 2: and it helps me learn what I don't know about

374
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 2: the stock market. He joins us now to discuss the

375
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 2: Amazon strike. Hey, Anthony's so nice.

376
00:18:59,080 --> 00:18:59,679
Speaker 1: To have you on.

377
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 5: Hey, Sarah, thank you so much for having me. How

378
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 5: are you.

379
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: Oh, it's great.

380
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 2: I'm so glad I could get you because this is

381
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 2: breaking news. Of course, today is just breaking news all

382
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 2: over the place. It's like I'm being tested feet to

383
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 2: the fire right and now with the Amazon strike, can

384
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 2: you explain exactly what's going on?

385
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: Do you know what's happening here?

386
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 3: Yeah?

387
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 5: Sure, I think. I think honestly, it's being blown out

388
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 5: of proportion by the teamsters and by the Amazon employees

389
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 5: that are on strike. It's ten thousand employees out of

390
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:36,239
Speaker 5: an employee base of one point five million people. And

391
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 5: it's Amazon. So you have the most sophisticated logistics system

392
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 5: in place in the world within Amazon, and you have

393
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 5: ten thousand employees who, by the way, some of which

394
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,439
Speaker 5: you don't even work for Amazon. They're trying to strike

395
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 5: against Amazon because they want to become employees of Amazon

396
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 5: directly and then stay on strike to get a better deal.

397
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 5: So those are the drivers that work for a third

398
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 5: part it's delivery service partners. I was reading up on

399
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,439
Speaker 5: it earlier. They don't even work for Amazon there on strike.

400
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 5: And then you have employees on strike, for example at

401
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 5: the Sutton Island facility that Amazon is challenging the constitutionality

402
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 5: of them actually becoming part of the union of the Teamsters.

403
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 5: So there are legal battles in the background, and then

404
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 5: there's some really illogical kind of pieces of the puzzle

405
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 5: to fit together. And then around it you have ten

406
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 5: thousand employees who are basically, you know, crying foul. They

407
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 5: want more money, they want better break time, they want

408
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 5: what they're calling safer environment to work. And at the

409
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 5: end of the day, honestly, Amazon, this is not even

410
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 5: a ripple for them. They're They're going to handle this fine.

411
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 5: Every all the packages are going to run through. This

412
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 5: is not This is probably pretty akin to what they

413
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 5: deal with on a day to day basis, between weather,

414
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 5: between disruptions on roadways, between airline disruptions. I don't think

415
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 5: it's a big deal. I would say as far as

416
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:05,400
Speaker 5: the timing it is certainly the timing of it is

417
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 5: to kind of strike everyone right, Like it's right. Everyone's

418
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 5: struggling to make ends meet, everyone's forcing a little extra

419
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 5: trying to grab a little extra work, trying to grab

420
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 5: a little extra cash, trying to extend their credit a

421
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 5: little further, just to make Christmas nice. And they want

422
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 5: people to see the headline and say, oh, Amazon is

423
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 5: the worst and Amazon is the devil in corporate America

424
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 5: needs to fall in all the things. So the timing

425
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 5: of it's great, But will it really make a difference.

426
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,479
Speaker 5: I don't think anyone's going to even realize it.

427
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 2: Well, I think that's great news, especially for all of

428
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 2: us parents out there who ordered presidents on Amazon.

429
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: That is great news.

430
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 2: And you know, Amazon had said that they were doing

431
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 2: this for a year long campaign to intentionally mislead the public.

432
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 2: I mean, the teamsters have been working on this and

433
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 2: then they strike. When you know, Christmas is hot, right,

434
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 2: and then they want and they want everybody to go

435
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 2: into a panic. But a lot of people, Anthony, have

436
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 2: been worried about the economy anyways. I mean everyone's word,

437
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 2: you know, with the stock market back and forth, with

438
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 2: you know, trying to make ends meet. Talk a little

439
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 2: bit about that, I mean, because I think this is important.

440
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 2: You know a lot of families out there, you know,

441
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 2: are spending money on their credit cards, money that they

442
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 2: don't have.

443
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 1: They got to pay that back. What are you seeing

444
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: as far as that?

445
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think, well to start right there, that the

446
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 5: economy is not in great shape. And I do believe that.

447
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 5: I mean I am very very bullish on President Trump

448
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 5: and his policies and h his administration coming in. But

449
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 5: we're hurting. I mean, we're literally limping across the finish

450
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 5: line from the Biden administration. And even as early as

451
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 5: yesterday you had Powell come out and cut rates again

452
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 5: at the said, which is creating more of a problem.

453
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,880
Speaker 5: It seems like there's more hand grenades getting tossed over

454
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 5: at President Trump missing a pin than not as he

455
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 5: steps into his second term.

456
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:55,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, so exactly what are they trying to do there? Like,

457
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 2: what are they trying to do there at the Fed?

458
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 5: Well, the biggest problem we have, and I would lump

459
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 5: I would lump mister Powell and Janet Yellen together. We

460
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,199
Speaker 5: have the Seed who's cutting rates, which is essentially not

461
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 5: doing anything because the market itself is raising rates, Meaning

462
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 5: the Feed is trying to say they're going to reduce

463
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 5: the bar and costs, reduced rates and make money looser

464
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,479
Speaker 5: as inflation is actually starting to tick back up. That

465
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 5: makes zero sense. And then you have Janet Yellen, who

466
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 5: has personally over overseen sixteen trillion dollars in debt creation

467
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,879
Speaker 5: our tenure in non elected public office. To put that

468
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,959
Speaker 5: in perspective, our entire debt is thirty six trillion dollars,

469
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 5: so she's overseen close to half of our debt creation,

470
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 5: and on her way out yesterday said, hey, I think

471
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 5: we really have a problem and we're probably going to

472
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 5: have a massive issue if we don't reduce debt.

473
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 3: So what is it?

474
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:53,719
Speaker 1: Cya?

475
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 2: It's like, I feel like everything in the Biden administration

476
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 2: is kind of cya. Admit it on your way out

477
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 2: the door. It was with the Obama administration did too.

478
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 2: It's kind of like, oh, by the way, we don't

479
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 2: have nine hundred troops in Syria, We've got two thousand.

480
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 2: And Hey, guess what, we have this huge deficit in

481
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 2: this debt. Now, you guys got to take care of it.

482
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 5: What's going on? It is c ya. They have made

483
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 5: a mess of what's going on, a mess of the system.

484
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 5: Top down policy has been horrendous. And the big kicker

485
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 5: is no one expected President Trump to win.

486
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's I mean, that really is the big kicker.

487
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,919
Speaker 2: How do you think Trump's win is going to, you know,

488
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 2: affect the economy?

489
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: You said, you're very bullish on it. You have big hopes.

490
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: I do. Two, what do you see in the future

491
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: under President Trump? I mean, deregulation is going to be

492
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 1: a big deal.

493
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 2: I think small businesses are going to benefit greatly from

494
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:49,360
Speaker 2: a Trump presidency.

495
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: What are you seeing?

496
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think So to start with, what's really an

497
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 5: issue here? It's inflation, and it's a massive debt and

498
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 5: deficit situation that we've created in the country. And that

499
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 5: inflation and that and poor real GDP growth and real

500
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 5: employment has pushed people into a place where they can't

501
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 5: afford to live. So consumer credit is a real issue.

502
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 5: Inflation is a real issue. These are going to be

503
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:19,679
Speaker 5: things that we need to deal with. Employment, real jobs growth,

504
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 5: not government jobs, because if you look at the jobs

505
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 5: and the jobs creation, you know upwards of ninety percent

506
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 5: of those jobs created each month that are being reported

507
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 5: our government jobs, healthcare and education and low paying services jobs.

508
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 5: That is not how we build an economy. So we

509
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 5: need employment to increase, inflation to come down, we need

510
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 5: people's credit or the amount of credits people are caring

511
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 5: to come down. We need rates on that credit to convey.

512
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 5: We need all these things to kind of work together.

513
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 5: So the positive is the sentiment numbers are definitely popping.

514
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 5: Even as far as small businesses. The NFIB Small Business

515
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 5: Survey had sentiment at a under with it below the

516
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 5: fifty year moving average for the entire presidency of Joe

517
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 5: Biden at Trumps and upon Trump's win, we spiked back

518
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 5: above one hundred, which is a three and a half

519
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 5: year high in optimism for the small businesses. So that's

520
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 5: a good thing. And you see the same thing in

521
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:27,959
Speaker 5: in consumer sentiments, so that's good. I think Vesince three

522
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 5: three three plan is important. I think it leverages the

523
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 5: balance sheet of the United States, and it also leverages

524
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 5: our natural resources to try and a reduced deficit and debt,

525
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 5: which will bring down inflation and be create real growth

526
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 5: in the economy. So what that plan says, pretty simply put,

527
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,360
Speaker 5: is the goal is to grow GDP by three percent,

528
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 5: and a real three percent, not an inflated three percent,

529
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,919
Speaker 5: which is what we've seen under Biden, which is why

530
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 5: we're being told things are good, but we don't feel

531
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 5: like things are good. We wit the kitchen table and struggle,

532
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,679
Speaker 5: but the headlines and Biden is like, Hey, we're se

533
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 5: best economy in the world. Everyone's envious of us. No, no,

534
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 5: they're not. Everyone's hurting, and we're hurting worse than everyone else.

535
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 5: You're just kind of doing a good job with the

536
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 5: smoke and mirrors.

537
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, honestly, the whole world is hurting.

538
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 2: There's a global there was. Certainly under Biden, the world

539
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,679
Speaker 2: felt that. I mean it was a shock to our system.

540
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 2: With the economy we're seeing, we're seeing some changes, I

541
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 2: mean significant changes across the globe. With the election of

542
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 2: Javier Malay, we see the economy, you know, in Argentina

543
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 2: doing a lot better. We're seeing it in El Salvador.

544
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 2: Under naibukeyle really quickly. What can we do? What can people,

545
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 2: I guess within the Trump administration in particular, do look.

546
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,360
Speaker 1: At Elon musk I vek Ramaswami.

547
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 2: I mean Doge coming in do to really pump our

548
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 2: economy up and give us that Trump bump that everybody's

549
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 2: talking about.

550
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,120
Speaker 5: Look, I think it's growing gdpaid at a three percent

551
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 5: level in real terms. I think Doze is a very

552
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 5: important part of reducing the desol So the second part

553
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 5: of the plan is to reduce the deficit to three

554
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 5: percent of GDP by twenty twenty eight. The best way

555
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 5: to do that is to start cutting fat and trimming fat.

556
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 5: And there is a ton of it. I don't care

557
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 5: what the dem say, I don't care what the left

558
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 5: talking points are. There's a ton of fat, and we

559
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 5: can reduce costs.

560
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: Okay, talk about that fat.

561
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 2: Let's talk about that's where can we reduce the fat?

562
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: Right here? When it comes to the economy.

563
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 5: I'll tell you an item that's near and dear to

564
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 5: my heart, and I think it's one of the first

565
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 5: things that needs to get done. Mister Holman has to

566
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 5: shut down the border. We're spending hundreds of billions of

567
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 5: dollars on illegal aliens coming across our border. If we

568
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 5: can save hundreds of billions of dollars there, we're starting

569
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 5: to dig into a one point eight trillion dollar deficit.

570
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 5: It matters. I mean, these things matter. That's the first

571
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 5: place when we start looking at the spending bills and

572
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 5: how much money. Look at the Inflation Reduction Act, which

573
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 5: was anything but it was climate legislation. It added almost

574
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 5: a trillion dollars to our.

575
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 2: Deficit for what well, absolutely, And you brought in a

576
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 2: subject that's dear to my heart too, and that is,

577
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 2: of course, our US Mexico border and the hundreds of

578
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 2: billions of dollars that have been allocated US taxpayer dollars

579
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 2: that have gone to nonprofits and other organizations just to

580
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 2: assist the federal government, the Biden administration with their open

581
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 2: border policy. It was like we were taking our money

582
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 2: and feeding it back into the beast and creating a

583
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 2: problem not only for the world, but for us in

584
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 2: particular the American people. It's been a four year mess

585
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 2: at the border.

586
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 5: Absolutely, and it's costing us. Not only is it costing

587
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 5: us money directly in direct payments, we're paying for healthcare

588
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 5: we're paying for housing, we're paying for schooling, and we're

589
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 5: giving direct payments to the illegals coming across.

590
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 4: Yeah.

591
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: I don't even understand how this is. Okay, do you

592
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying?

593
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 2: Like there was something wrong when I go and I'm like,

594
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 2: I was in Chicago. I was there with our Border

595
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 2: nine one one foundation and I was giving a speech.

596
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 2: I was there with Rodney Scott, and this gentleman stood

597
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:08,959
Speaker 2: up Anthony and he was in the audience and he

598
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 2: had his daughter in his hands, and he said, you

599
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 2: know what, I'm from South Chicago.

600
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: I lost my job months ago.

601
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 2: I have been looking for a job, but I ended

602
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 2: up losing my apartment, losing my job. My wife and

603
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 2: I and my daughter been living for the last few

604
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 2: weeks in a vehicle, in a car. That's how I've

605
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 2: been sending my daughter to school, cleaning her up at

606
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,959
Speaker 2: a local restaurant, sending her to school until I can

607
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 2: find another place to live.

608
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 1: And I've got.

609
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 2: Illegal immigrants, illegal aliens getting you know, debit cards and

610
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 2: apartments and housing, and I mean, the American people are

611
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 2: fed up with this. And I really think this is

612
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 2: the reason why we saw such a successful election with

613
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 2: President Trump overwhelming because Americans are like, we're done.

614
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,959
Speaker 5: There's no doubt, there's no debt to cost. It's not

615
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:04,239
Speaker 5: it's not a dollar cost. It's the dollar. And then

616
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 5: it's multiple derivatives right of that dollar, whether it's the

617
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 5: direct payment, whether it's paying for hotel rooms for these

618
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 5: illegals to stay, or housing where otherwise American citizens could

619
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 5: be or I'll give you a great example of a

620
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 5: cost natural born citizens. Native born Americans employment levels today

621
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 5: are lower. We've actually seen negative employment. Wow, for native

622
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,440
