1
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: The Trump administration, nih is slashing funds to all of

2
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: the alphabet people problems, and the New York Times is

3
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 1: very obsess Speaking of the New York Times, they also

4
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 1: issued a hit piece on every Conservative's most unlikely lovable

5
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: Senator John Fetterman. And also California infrastructure is crumbling. But

6
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: I repeat myself, we hit California a lot, but guaranteed

7
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: it's well deserved. All that more coming up on this

8
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:34,840
Speaker 1: episode of Turning Point Tonight. My name is Joe Bob.

9
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 1: Thanks so much for tuning in. Together, we are charting

10
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: the course of America's cultural comeback. This is Turning Point Tonight. Now,

11
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: before we get to any of those stories and to

12
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: our fantastic panel, we have to talk about this really

13
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: interesting initiative out of New York City. Over the weekend,

14
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: Eric Adams, Mayor of New York, announced that the city

15
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: was going to spend one point six million dollars inserting

16
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: panic buttons into bodega's. Now, it isn't a secret that

17
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: bodega have been unfortunately ravaged with crime and burglaries and

18
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: therefore have been calling the cops a lot. These panic

19
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: buttons would apparently, you press it and it goes directly

20
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,559
Speaker 1: to the NYPD, and that all sounds great. A couple

21
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: things though, First of all, how are they over three

22
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: thousand dollars apiece? I don't know exactly how that works,

23
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: but that price seems high, especially if you divide that

24
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: by the five hundred and sixty one point six millions.

25
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: But that's not the big problem. The big problem that

26
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: I have with this is, while it is a step

27
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: in the right direction, what happens when nobody gets prosecuted.

28
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: For those of you who aren't familiar, and I can't

29
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: imagine there's a lot of you that aren't. New York

30
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: City is home to the Manhattan District Attorney named Alvin Bragg.

31
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,960
Speaker 1: And if you're not familiar with Alvin Bragg's work, he's

32
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: the one that brought all the bunch of nonsense crap

33
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: about President Trump and also doesn't prosecute trime crime. He's

34
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: the guy that has said, well, petty theft is a

35
00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: crime of poverty, and prosecuting these poor individuals doesn't make

36
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: anyone safer. In other words, the panic buttons, while I

37
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: believe could be a good idea, don't make a difference

38
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: if you don't freaking prosecute anyone. Arrests can go up,

39
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: but if they're not charged with crimes because the woke

40
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: DA doesn't think that people who are just committing petty

41
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: theft out of crimes of poverty need to be charged,

42
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 1: then none of it matters. In other words, New York Libs,

43
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: you're almost there, but not quite Here to comment on

44
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: that and so much more is chef Andrew Gruel. He

45
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: is now city council member in Huntington Beach and our

46
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: favorite Alex Stein comedian, podcast host provocateur, among many other things. Guys,

47
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: thanks so much for joining us.

48
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 2: Thank you for having me Andrew.

49
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: I want to start with you here because you live

50
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: in a state that is run by crazy people who

51
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 1: often have these ideas of this is gonna help this

52
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: and it never ends up working. Do you think that

53
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: there's a push now, that there is a push to

54
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 1: at the very least get these buttons installed in bodegas

55
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: because people want to see the crime stop. Do you

56
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: think there will be a push to actually charge criminals

57
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 1: in the City of New York as well as blue

58
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 1: places around the country. No, not at all.

59
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 3: The reality is this is.

60
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 4: Just another way in which they're saying look, we're taking

61
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 4: this problem seriously, but they're not. I'd like to know

62
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 4: who's providing all of those panic buttons. Probably a friend

63
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:24,679
Speaker 4: of the person who wrote the policy.

64
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 5: I mean.

65
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 4: The other thing is is that I still don't understand

66
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 4: what they're going to do when we always avoid the

67
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 4: most obvious solution to the problem, which is actually putting

68
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 4: these people in jail. What I would suggest is that

69
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 4: if you're gonna have these panic buttons, or you're gonna

70
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 4: end up giving each bodega owner, you know, three thousand dollars,

71
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 4: like have a button that just blasts out some crazy

72
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 4: music or like triple X rated, you know, noise in

73
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 4: the background, something to distract them.

74
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 3: How are these panic buttons going to distract them.

75
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 4: From actually stealing products, stabbing people, you know, the basic

76
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 4: resume of kind of what they do.

77
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, it's actually a pretty good point. The only

78
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: problem is I would imagine that the people robbing the

79
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: storm might like the loud blasting music because they seem

80
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: to be the ones who are blasting it in their partings.

81
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: Keeping everybody awake. Anyways, Alex, So we Andrew and I

82
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: unfortunately live in the godforsaken hell hole that is California. You,

83
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: on the other hand, live in a state that I

84
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: think actually prosecutes crime. Do you do you notice a

85
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: difference anywhere when you travel to these deep blue states

86
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: in contrast to where you live.

87
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I'm in Dallas, and believe it or not, Dallas, Houston,

88
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 2: San Antonio, and Austin they're all pretty blue. So you know,

89
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 2: we still have our fair share of illegal immigrants and

90
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 2: crazy crime. But when it comes to these buttons, you know,

91
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 2: unless this button, you know, fire is a gun back

92
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 2: at the criminal. Unless you press a button in it,

93
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 2: you know, shoots a bullet and somebody.

94
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 1: It's not going to help.

95
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 3: Because the NYPD, it's a bunch of overweight.

96
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 2: Women that you know, you you see these you see

97
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 2: some of these NYPD women.

98
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: I mean it is it's just a bunch of de women.

99
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 2: And I'm not trying to be disrestructed with women, but

100
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 2: like the NYPD is a joe can I talk to

101
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 2: people that were you know, a part of this at

102
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 2: are retired that are now and you know the you

103
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 2: know legal you know some of them are x NYPD

104
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 2: now they're attorneys, and they talk about how the NYPD

105
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 2: has gone downhill, so you can press a button all

106
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 2: you want. I don't really think you're gonna have a

107
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 2: great response time. And I think when they do respond,

108
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 2: they're gonna be too afraid to do anything, because you

109
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 2: know that Alvin Bragg. When these people get arrested, they

110
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 2: have bail reform, they get let out of jail. So

111
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 2: it's not even worth is NYPD's time to do the

112
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 2: paperwork to arrest these criminals when they know they're just

113
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 2: gonna be on the street, you know, instantly.

114
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it sounds like, again, without disparaging the good cops

115
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: at the NYPD, it might be filled with a bunch

116
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: of big booty latinas. Dare I say. I don't know

117
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 1: if that's a phrase that you've heard before, but potentially

118
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: speaking of this is a this is a terrible transition.

119
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 1: I was going to transition to big booty latinas getting

120
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: surgically ingested. Speaking of other medical health problems, the Trump administration,

121
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: the EDIH is pulling funding, or at least expected to

122
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: pull hundreds of millions of dollars in funding for what

123
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: they call unscientific, unreality based studies. Most of these LGBTQ,

124
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: two alphabet letters of all sorts, specifically targeting stuff for

125
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: changing genders in adolescents. Everybody thinks that this is probably reasonable,

126
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: but libs are freaking out. The New York Times had

127
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: a big, long piece basically telling everyone to panic Andrew,

128
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: is the panic justified in this? It feels like, hey,

129
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:31,559
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of studies operating on premises that aren't

130
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 1: even based in reality. And Trump's like, no, we shouldn't

131
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: do that. Is this a justifiable position to take it? Politically?

132
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 4: You think, well, let's call this what this is. So

133
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 4: he's taking away money for gender reassignment surgery, whether it's a.

134
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 3: Study that leads to that.

135
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 4: But I look at all of this within the construct

136
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 4: of this is just studies related to mental illness. So

137
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,359
Speaker 4: if we take the eight hundred million or the amount

138
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 4: of money that he's removing, and we actually just apply

139
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 4: it to studying mental illness, we can still say that

140
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 4: it falls under the umbrella of lge bt Q plus nine.

141
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 3: So look, it's a win win for everybody.

142
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 4: We just got to put the money in a category

143
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 4: in which we understand what is driving this mental illness, uh,

144
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 4: and say we're moving the money from gender reassignment assignment

145
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 4: surgery to actually fixing the problem that or with all

146
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 4: of the issues that they're having. We can combine two

147
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 4: problems into one. We can take the people that are

148
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 4: freaking out about this, and we can place two or

149
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 4: three of them, because there's probably only like six hundred

150
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 4: people anyways across each three hundred of these bodegas, and

151
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 4: just by virtue of their presence, crime will go down

152
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:34,679
Speaker 4: in those stores.

153
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't uh, I don't hate that. That's not uh,

154
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: that's not the worst idea I've ever heard. Alex. You know,

155
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: you you get a lot of heat, especially online from

156
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: the uh the lg beats. Andrew, you did a very

157
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: good job at pronouncing all those letters. By the way,

158
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: I can never get it right in my head. The

159
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: alphabet people as they're affectionately called, you know, are are

160
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: they going to continue panicking after this? What do you

161
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: think the reaction online, uh or even in serious forms

162
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: is going to be from Trump pulling this this funding.

163
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 2: Well, Joe Bob, you know, I get accused of being

164
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 2: anti LGBTQ all the time and people call me a xenofo.

165
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 2: But you know, the idea that I could be anti

166
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 2: LGBTQ is impossible considering I'm a Dallas Cowboys fan. I've

167
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 2: been a Dallas Cowboys fan of all life, and so

168
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 2: there's no bigger amount of gay pride that I could have,

169
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 2: you know than that. So for the LGBTQ mafia to

170
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 2: come after me, it's just it just shows you that

171
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 2: they don't really know the real Alex. So, you know, honestly,

172
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 2: if you really ask me, when it comes to all

173
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 2: this trans stuff, there's there was a medical application a

174
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 2: long time ago, and I did a lot of these debates.

175
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 2: There are very few amount of people that are born intersex,

176
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 2: and when that is the case, you know, in that instance,

177
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 2: you do want to affirm their gender at a young age.

178
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 2: But we don't really need many studies, Like unless that's

179
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 2: the case, if you're under eighteen and you're not born intersex,

180
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,599
Speaker 2: it should be illegal. Like they don't even need to

181
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 2: do studies. You know, they should be like studying cocaine

182
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 2: or studying murder. I mean, interesting, we should We don't

183
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 2: need your study. We already know that if you're under

184
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 2: eighteen and you're cutting off your genitals, you're making a

185
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 2: lifelong decision that you're going to regret for the rest

186
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 2: of your life, So I don't even need these studies.

187
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 2: There's a waste of time in my opinion.

188
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, which is probably exactly the reason why the president

189
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: is pulling the funding for that. Speaking of all of

190
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: the trans folks, Andrew, we talked a little bit about

191
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,719
Speaker 1: this before we got on the air here. So you're

192
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: a city council member. You've got a bunch of these

193
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 1: blue haired people coming to all of your meetings and

194
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: you know, getting arrested if they do anything outside of

195
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: the bounds of legality. Can you kind of speak to

196
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: you know, the whole what did what'd you call it, Alex,

197
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 1: The lgbt mafia That that feels like a pretty good

198
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: term for what's what's that like? I think that's what

199
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: they call it.

200
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 2: The LGBTQ mafia is one of their adjectives.

201
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, what's that like?

202
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 4: What it comes down to is that this is a

203
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 4: small minority, right point zero zero zero one percent of

204
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 4: any population, and it's minority rule, which is really goes

205
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 4: all the way back to the Bolsheviks, is that if

206
00:09:58,360 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 4: you can kind of put all that focus on my

207
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 4: already rolled and you can uproot the foundation upon which

208
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 4: society is built and on more people from society and

209
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 4: then all of the you know, kind of those mindless people.

210
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 4: It's that mass formation psychosis that they used to talk about.

211
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 4: They follow that minority, which then becomes the majority. So

212
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 4: what they want to do is they want to attach

213
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 4: their agenda to every single issue, no matter how large

214
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 4: and small, and if they can't do so, well, then

215
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 4: they create issues. We're dealing with it here here with

216
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 4: the libraries in Huntington Beach, where there are all these

217
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 4: crazy books in the libraries, we remove them. Then it

218
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 4: turned into your banning books. This went on for years.

219
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 4: Fast forward. Now it's actually a measure a special election

220
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 4: that we're having in three or four weeks about whether

221
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 4: certain books can be in the library and then subsequently

222
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 4: whether we can privatize services in the library. So that's

223
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 4: become a crusade piece for these groups that then lump

224
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:52,199
Speaker 4: all of the kind of average spectators into this conversation,

225
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 4: and it always blows up in these city council meetings.

226
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 4: You know, I know, I have a friend of mine

227
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 4: actually who as a joke, he goes to city council

228
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 4: meetings and he's kind of a parody of this and

229
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 4: he makes these huge scenes which I've been watching him

230
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 4: for years, and then when I got on City Council

231
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 4: and I saw that he was mocking people that really exist,

232
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 4: it all tied together. Great guy, you should meet him,

233
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 4: Alex Stein.

234
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:15,439
Speaker 1: I appreciate that.

235
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 2: Thank you, Chef, thank you so much. You know, the

236
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 2: city councilman to chef pipeline though that hasn't be real quick.

237
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 6: Sorry job up.

238
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: I they introject is that.

239
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 2: Very rare pipeline.

240
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: Are you the first to do that?

241
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 7: That?

242
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 2: I mean, even super Chef Bobby Play has never been

243
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 2: a city councilman. Gordon Ramsay never been a city counselman.

244
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 1: I mean, Chef, you are in a rare.

245
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 5: Company, my friend.

246
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 4: I hold the power to touch something that everybody consumes,

247
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 4: and they do so in a happy manner. So food

248
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 4: is the great unifier. You can consider me to some degree,

249
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 4: you know the I was gonna say, I don't want

250
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 4: to get myself canceled, but just consider me, you know,

251
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 4: really the arbiter of truth here through food, uh and

252
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 4: now city council.

253
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: The the arbor of truth through food and also the

254
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: what did you call use some better words that I'm

255
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: going to use the City Council provocateur extraordinary will be

256
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 1: back after the break to discuss the New York Times

257
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: hit piece against every Conservative's surprisingly favorite Senator John Fetterman,

258
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: and so much more coming up after the break. Don't

259
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: go away, We'll be right back. Welcome back to Turning

260
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 1: Point tonight. We're together. We are charting the course of

261
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: America's cultural comeback. It's time to check in with Turning Points.

262
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: White House correspondent Monica Page. Monica joins us from the

263
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: White House. A lot of stuff going on today. Fill

264
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,079
Speaker 1: us in on what you think is well, so there's

265
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: very important, serious things and also some less serious but

266
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: still influential and impactful things.

267
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 8: What's going on, Yeah, let's start with some of the

268
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 8: lighter stuff first here Joe Bob, but well, we had

269
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,319
Speaker 8: Roger Goodell, NFL Commissioner in the Oval Office this afternoon

270
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 8: with President Trump as well as DC Mayor Muriel Bowser,

271
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 8: which is unlikely guessed as well, people did not expect

272
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 8: either of them to be in the.

273
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 9: Oval Office this week. But essentially the President is saying

274
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 9: that the twenty twenty seven NFL direct will be here

275
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 9: in Washington, DC on the National Mall, which is pretty

276
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 9: big news considering the fact that it, I mean, last

277
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 9: year it took place, I believe in Michigan. This past

278
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,559
Speaker 9: year it just took place in Wisconsin, so naming off

279
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 9: all these you know, major cities in the Midwest. But

280
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 9: now you're bringing it here back home in President Trump's

281
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,319
Speaker 9: White House. So a very interesting development. Of course, DC

282
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 9: Mayor and Miro Bowser also being there. It's such a

283
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 9: star contrast because back in twenty twenty you had the

284
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 9: BLM Square here open. Now things have seemingly changed, especially

285
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 9: in the football sphere. You had you know, players kneeling

286
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 9: for the national anthem, you know, making such a message

287
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 9: to BLM back in twenty twenty. But now they're in

288
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 9: the Oval Office with the President. So that was pretty

289
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 9: crazy this afternoon, That's for sure.

290
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 1: It is weird to see some of the people that

291
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: were so against President Trump show up in the House.

292
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: I'm curious, and I don't know if you would know

293
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: this specifically, did Muriel Bowser take a page out of

294
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: Gretchen Whitmer's book and just cover her face in the

295
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,559
Speaker 1: in the the Oval Office?

296
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 9: Not that I saw, but I do want to mention that, Joe,

297
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 9: But I'm glad that you brought that up because seeing

298
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:17,839
Speaker 9: you know, these Democrat leaders in the Oval Office, who

299
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 9: at one time really saw an enemy from President's groans,

300
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 9: are now in the White House meeting whip him. Those

301
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 9: are the President is open to conversations, so just about anybody.

302
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 9: It's not only those of his own party. You've got

303
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 9: Democrat leaders across the country essentially wanting to go see

304
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 9: and and wanting to visit him.

305
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: It's almost as if the Libs around the country, especially

306
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: in seats of power, we're lying the whole time about

307
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: how evil of a man he is Monica to some

308
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: of the more I guess serious. But it's nothing new.

309
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: There's a new illegal immigration initiative to try and promote

310
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: people self deporting. Can you tell us about that?

311
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 2: Yeah?

312
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 9: So, of course, as we know, the CDP Home app

313
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 9: is now with the DHS is pointing this latest initiative

314
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 9: to get illegal aliens to self deport themselves out of

315
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 9: this country back to where they came from of pushing

316
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 9: under Joe Biden's presidency is the CDP Go app, which

317
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 9: they used or had trouble using because he was open

318
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 9: to such errors like malfunctioning and crashing to come into

319
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 9: this country instead of appointments to come into the country.

320
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 9: But it really didn't work. So now this hope administration

321
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 9: is taking initiatives to get these illegal aliens back home,

322
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 9: and they're actually offering an incentive of a one thousand

323
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 9: dollars stipend or incentive to deport back to their home country.

324
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 9: We know that then when you break down the numbers

325
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 9: to arrest, detain, and deport each illegal alien, it's about

326
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 9: seventeen thousand dollars. So this will really give people the

327
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 9: chance to go home without having to face any more

328
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 9: serious repercussions than they would if they were to just

329
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 9: have stayed totally.

330
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: Last thing I want to ask you about. The mainstream

331
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: media is in just full meltdown mode over the announcement

332
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: of President Trump saying, hey, we're going to open up Alcatraz. Now,

333
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: I don't actually know how serious. If he's just yanking

334
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: their chain or if he's actually going to open it

335
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: up to criminals across the country. God knows, we need

336
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: more prisons to house all the people that are breaking

337
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: our laws. How serious is this? Do you think there's

338
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: a pathway to actually make it happen? What's the White

339
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: House saying about this, Yeah, I think.

340
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 9: There definitely could be a pathway to making Alcatraz become

341
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 9: you know, where a lot of these violent illegal criminal

342
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 9: aliens would go. Of course, we already know they're already

343
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 9: in Guantanamobay they're being sent off there, but they could

344
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 9: end up also being in Alcatraz. They also know that

345
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 9: American criminals, the most violent American criminals, could also end

346
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 9: up there. You know that Alcatraz as of right now

347
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 9: it's been shut down to be a museum, but and

348
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 9: it housed about two hundred and fifty tw about two

349
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 9: hundred and seventy five criminals at that time. But given

350
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 9: that Alcatraz is a federal prison, the president can kind

351
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 9: of use that as leverage to essentially make this happen

352
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 9: and use the fact that it's a federal prison to

353
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 9: really check off another box on his wishlist and making

354
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 9: this Trump agenta come true. So we could see this

355
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 9: become a thing. Of course, and you know, we know

356
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 9: of prisons at home could become overrun. Why don't open

357
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 9: up Alcatraz? It's very hard to escape. I'm sure the

358
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 9: conditions there are not the best. But now listen, you

359
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 9: might as well, just make use of it, right.

360
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, it feels like either way, whether it's a publicity

361
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,479
Speaker 1: stunt and a headfake to get the media all riled up,

362
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: which he loves to do and I appreciate that about it,

363
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 1: or if it's an actual hey we're going to open

364
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:21,679
Speaker 1: up this other prison. Either way seems good to me.

365
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 1: Monica Page turning points, White House correspondent, Thanks so much

366
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:25,719
Speaker 1: for joining us. Really appreciate it.

367
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 9: Thanks so much, Jobob.

368
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: The New York Times had a piece over the weekend

369
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: about Senator Fetterman's mental health. Now this has been no secret.

370
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 1: He checked himself into a rehabit Walter read in twenty

371
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 1: twenty three. But the point that the New York Times,

372
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: and subsequently the people that are leaking to the New

373
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 1: York Times, his former staff, former chief of staff, is fascinating.

374
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 1: The point that they're trying to make, they're effectively trying

375
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: to say, well, the reason we knew that Senator Fetterman

376
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: was losing his mental ability because some of his policies

377
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 1: started becoming more conservative. I kid you not. That is

378
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: the point that the New York Times, I believe, is

379
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: trying to make. Let's bring our panel back Andrew Grule

380
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 1: and Alex Steiner here to comment on this. Andrew will

381
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: start with you. The New York Times had again big,

382
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: long article about the concerns that his staff has. They

383
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: even let me read you a quote, or at least

384
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: categorize a quote or a characterize a quote saying that

385
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 1: his behavior has been erratic. He even bought a gun,

386
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: God forbid. That clearly is a sign of mental decline,

387
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: that the staff is worried about your thoughts.

388
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 4: Well, keep in mind that the crux of this article

389
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 4: was from an email that his staffer wrote well over

390
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,880
Speaker 4: a year ago, So they've known about this and they've

391
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 4: held on to it. So the reason they're bringing it

392
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 4: out right now is because they're trying to go after Fetterman. Well,

393
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:47,439
Speaker 4: how funny is it? Somewhat ironic but not really to

394
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 4: us that he was at peak democrat acceptance when he

395
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 4: was virtually brain dead after the stroke, and now that

396
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:59,360
Speaker 4: he's actually gotten healthier and he's starting to think logically, well,

397
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 4: then they don't like him anymore. And so it goes

398
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 4: to show that the apex of being a democrat is

399
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 4: right after you have a stroke, when you're effectively brain dead.

400
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 1: That's gonna say, yeah, so people who can't think tend

401
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 1: to be at the top of the totem pole of

402
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 1: the Democrat Party. Alex again, John Fetterman. I think a

403
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: lot of us while he was running would have called

404
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,239
Speaker 1: him a freaking socialist, probably because he has said as

405
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 1: much himself, it seems like, but nowadays kind of starting

406
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 1: to surprise a lot of people. It's been happening for

407
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: a while. Do you think the push to belittle his

408
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 1: opinion in stuff like this is going to continue the

409
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: more I guess conservative beliefs he believes to have.

410
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I have teased John Fetterman a lot

411
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 2: for his outfits and the fact that you know, he

412
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 2: doesn't you know, really hold up much to Korum when

413
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 2: he is presenting himself, you know, as a senator. But

414
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:54,199
Speaker 2: when it comes to John Fetterman, we have to remember

415
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 2: that he is from Pennsylvania. You know, he's in Pennsylvania,

416
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 2: Philadelphia Eagles fans. I mean, if people in it was

417
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 2: what I'm the point I'm trying to make is these

418
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 2: are normal people. These you know, we all try to

419
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,879
Speaker 2: think there's like lib tards and crazy leftis these are

420
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 2: people that like the Philadelphia Eagles. These are people like

421
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 2: the Philadelphia Phillies, and he actually relates to those people,

422
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 2: So him being just a little bit more moderate. Of course,

423
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 2: you're going to attack his ability to think, and they're

424
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 2: going to say that he's, you know, losing his cognitive ability,

425
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 2: which in reality, I think he's just the same guy.

426
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 2: He's always kind of been an idiot, but his true

427
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 2: colors are just coming out more and he's just a normal,

428
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 2: everyday guy. He's obviously a victim of his own success.

429
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 2: He doesn't want to be a politician. He can't even

430
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 2: put on nice pants or a jacket, so you know,

431
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,439
Speaker 2: he probably hates having to go in that building and

432
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 2: see everybody dressed all nice. Yeah, I'm saying, Chef Croll,

433
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 2: I admit that you go in those councilors. You want

434
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,679
Speaker 2: to look nice. You're conducting serious business. Could you imagine

435
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 2: you're at the top political position and you're in sweatpants.

436
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: You would have to The only reason you.

437
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 2: Would do that is if you're a little mentally ill.

438
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 2: So I don't disagree that he's got a little screw loose,

439
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 2: but I think he's a normal guy and probably not

440
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 2: a bad one of them.

441
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 4: One of the first comments I got at a city

442
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 4: council meeting that was directed specifically to me was an

443
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 4: older gentleman who's While I don't like you and I don't.

444
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 3: Agree with you, mister Gruhle, I appreciate that you wore

445
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 3: a suit.

446
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: And it means everything.

447
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 2: And that's why I wear a suit because I'm a

448
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,160
Speaker 2: total freak. But if I wear the suit, they give

449
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 2: me a little more respect. I don't understand why this

450
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 2: guy wouldn't just go to a big and tall store

451
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 2: and order ten suits that fit him. He would get

452
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 2: so much more respect. But he doesn't have the he

453
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 2: doesn't have the self esteem. There is something inside of him.

454
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's a cognitive issue, but he

455
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 2: does probably suffer from depression.

456
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: Because, I mean, Chef Grule, you go to.

457
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 2: That nice pressure, could you imagine. I'm sure you have

458
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 2: repeat customers that are super wealthy that dress down, you know,

459
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 2: their whole gimick because they don't want.

460
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 3: To dress nice.

461
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 2: But when you're conducting serious business, you know, like going

462
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 2: to a wedding or a funeral, there's some times you

463
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 2: have to dress nice, whether you want to or not.

464
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 2: And I would think being a senator, you would have

465
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 2: to dress nice, right, I mean, is that insane that

466
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 2: he's wearing that type of those clothing, you know, for

467
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 2: serious governmental business.

468
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:56,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, draws back to the wife, another episode for another time.

469
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 4: I'm telling you there's some something going on there.

470
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: Yeah. The the cognitive decline I think hits it on

471
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: the head and both him his wife specifically because she's Yeah,

472
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: she's the real crazy one. Speaking of cognitive decline, the

473
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: California voter populous overall seems to be a cognitive decline,

474
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 1: continuing to elect the people that they elect. We all

475
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: remember the Palisades fires, a terrible, horrible tragedy, and we

476
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 1: all remember one specific thing about that. Well, the reservoir

477
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 1: at the top, the Santa Ynez Reservoir one hundred and

478
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: seventeen million dollars gallon complex, was empty very very quickly.

479
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: Well it's empty yet again because they keep finding leaks

480
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 1: in the reservoir. Alex, I want to ask you about this.

481
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: There's been a lot of talk about this reservoir in California.

482
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: None of it seems to have gotten any better. They

483
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 1: were warning that in January twenty twenty four that there

484
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 1: were hey leaks in this a year before this fire

485
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 1: happens and nobody did anything about it, and unfortunately, thousands

486
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: of people paid the consequences. Any sign that this is

487
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 1: going to get to from like a populis perspective.

488
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 2: I know everybody in that comments to be like, you're

489
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 2: an idiot, but California is the only state that can

490
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 2: run out of water when they're next to the ocean.

491
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 2: And I get it. That why salt water and they

492
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 2: can't use it, this and that, but seriously, California used

493
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 2: to be the greatest state, and it really still should

494
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 2: be the greatest state, but it's mismanagement like this where

495
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 2: they don't even have water to put out the fire.

496
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 2: So that's why I'm empathetic, and that's why the state

497
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 2: really is lucky. Not to kiss you dairy, are that

498
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 2: they have people like chef Andrew Gruel that actually, you know,

499
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 2: put in the work that healthy citizens. Because it just

500
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 2: seems like they're just so incompetent. The people that are

501
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 2: running California. Do they want it to fail?

502
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 3: I don't know why they would.

503
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 2: I just think that they're not good at their job

504
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 2: and they care more about social justice issues than actually

505
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 2: support and safety of their citizens.

506
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: Alex, I think You're right, Governor Gruhle does have a

507
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: pretty nice ring to it. Auditory wise entered the California

508
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: has not built any meaningful water storage in over fifty years.

509
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 1: At some point, does any start to realize, Hey, we

510
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: keep talking about this water storage and you can only

511
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: water your lawns once a day or once a week,

512
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: and you have to keep your showers to a thirty

513
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: second minimum. But at the same time, if nobody's actually

514
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: doing anything to increase the water storage, is that gonna

515
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 1: Is that gonna get through to folks of like, hey,

516
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 1: maybe they're not actually taking this stuff seriously.

517
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 4: That's the thing that I wonder about, is that these

518
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 4: middle of the road Californians who are just walking through

519
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,360
Speaker 4: World War iie in California, and I mean that figuratively,

520
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 4: and they don't recognize because at the end of the day,

521
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 4: it's just money. All of this comes down to money.

522
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 4: We don't have the money. Why don't we have the money?

523
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 4: Because the money has been spent on fake projects, Ponzi

524
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 4: schemes that have enriched a select few at the top

525
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 4: and through the bureaucracy. As the Democrats have galvanized their

526
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,199
Speaker 4: power of fifteen years of Democrat rule now and the

527
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 4: state has completely fallen apart. This reservoir is a metaphor

528
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 4: for the brains of those in charge of California.

529
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 3: It's always empty.

530
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, unfortunately that seems to be the case. I wish

531
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: I didn't have to live in the worst run life

532
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 1: laboratory of democracy, but I guess somebody has to do it. Alex.

533
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 1: Hopefully people in Texas take note and don't do what

534
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 1: California has done. Don't California, my Texas. I believe they

535
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 1: say prime time. Alex Stein and Chef City Council and

536
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 1: Andrew Grill, thank you guys so much. Really appreciate you

537
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 1: taking the time. We'll have you back as soon as

538
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: we can. Thanks for having us, Thank you, Thank you

539
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:20,919
Speaker 1: coming up here on turning point tonight. We've got an

540
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: awesome clip from Alex Clark's Culture Apothecary podcast. Don't go away,

541
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:25,400
Speaker 1: We'll be right back after this.

542
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 10: Okay, we have to talk about the tongue things. This

543
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 10: is like the weirdest thing doctor has ever done. Tell me,

544
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 10: what does the tongue tell us about our health?

545
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: Yeah?

546
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 11: It tells people a lot. It's funny, you know, when

547
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 11: we go to a doctor as a kid and have

548
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 11: to stick our tongue out. It's almost always just to

549
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 11: look at the ear tonsils. But throughout Chinese medicine, or

550
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 11: through throughout history, medi some practitioners, Japanese medicine, practitioners, even

551
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,439
Speaker 11: in the Middle East, in India, they would look at

552
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 11: the tongue to be able to read what was going on.

553
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 11: In Greek medicine all the way back to Hippocrates, they

554
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 11: would look at the tongue. And so here's a few

555
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 11: things you'll see. One most of us know this already.

556
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 11: If there's a white coating on your tongue, that is

557
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:23,239
Speaker 11: candida building up or yeast overgrowth. In Chinese medicine, they

558
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 11: call that dampness. And that's also connected too much phlegm,

559
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 11: too much mucus. It could be not it could be

560
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 11: again phlem all the way from your nose to something

561
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 11: like ulcer of colitis, where there's mucus and phlem building

562
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 11: up in your colon. But we can tell that by

563
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 11: if there's a coating on the tongue. Okay, if the

564
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,719
Speaker 11: coating is white, it means that it's just candida. If

565
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 11: it's orange or yellow, it means that it's dampness with heat,

566
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 11: with inflammation. If you have ridges on the side of

567
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,160
Speaker 11: your tongue that almost look like bite marks or scrapes

568
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 11: on the side of your tongue, you're a lizard. Well

569
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 11: maybe that or it could be that, or it could

570
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 11: be what's called a spleen cheet efficiency, which is really

571
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:06,239
Speaker 11: a digestive system deficiency tied to the pancreas and the

572
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 11: digestive system, and so that we need to strengthen up

573
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 11: the digestive system. If the tongue is too red, it

574
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 11: is inflammation. If it's too if it turns blue, there's

575
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 11: a lack of oxygen in your body. And if it's almo.

576
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 11: If the color of the tongue not the coating, but

577
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 11: the color is more pale, that's indicative of a blood deficiency.

578
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 11: And so there are ways to treat that blood deficiency.

579
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,159
Speaker 11: We need to do herbs like don qua. You need

580
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 11: to do iron, more red meat, more green leafy vegetables,

581
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 11: more organ meats.

582
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 10: Anytime I have my Chai tea, my tongue looks kind

583
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 10: of like yellow green on the top.

584
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 11: Yeah, it would be a little yellow. The reason is

585
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 11: is chai is full of a lot of warming spices,

586
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 11: and so if you already have a little bit of

587
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 11: a coat, the black pepper in there, the cinnamon, those

588
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 11: are more warming spices. Some of that might be to

589
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,399
Speaker 11: the coloring of the actual herbs and the tea. So

590
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 11: if you have something that's brown, that can make your

591
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 11: tongue look more orange or yellow. So you really want

592
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 11: to do it in the morning before you eat anything

593
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 11: to get the most accurate diagnosis.

594
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 10: You said that my tongue looked white, pale as a ghost. Basically,

595
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 10: I'm like a dead person walking. That was your words,

596
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 10: exactly right.

597
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 11: Well, no, those are definitely those are definitely your words.

598
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:16,959
Speaker 11: What I said was your tongue is more pale than

599
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 11: it should be, okay, which means we need to build

600
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 11: your blood. And that's and there are different things that

601
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 11: cause low energy, right. One is a blood deficiency, which

602
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 11: could be anemia anyone with it's like borderline anemic. When

603
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 11: I say blood deficiency, think about the equivalent of pre

604
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 11: diabetes to anemia. It's like your your sort of borderline

605
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 11: anemic in a way.

606
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 10: Okay, So my conspiracy theory is that that day when

607
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 10: you checked my tongue out a couple of weeks ago,

608
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 10: I just happened to have eaten a certain thing, or

609
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 10: it was cold out or whatever, I drank a certain thing.

610
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 10: So I want you to look at my tongue again

611
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 10: and tell me if it looks the same or things

612
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 10: have changed.

613
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 11: Yeah, it looks the same.

614
00:28:57,760 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 9: It's the same.

615
00:28:59,040 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 10: I have no blood.

616
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 6: I'm a vampire.

617
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 11: So what I'm saying in your tongue right now is

618
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 11: it's pale. There's a little coating in the middle, and

619
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 11: it's a little bit orange, and that's tied to your

620
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 11: digestive system. And so what we need to do is

621
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 11: we need to build your blood and we need to

622
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:14,959
Speaker 11: strengthen your digestive system.

623
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 10: You showed me a chart and it had all these

624
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 10: pictures of all these tongues and what they mean and

625
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 10: all that, and probably a thousand people said, where can

626
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 10: I see this chart? So where can they get that?

627
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 10: Is that something.

628
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 1: Specifically with you?

629
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 10: They have to go to you to get that, or

630
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 10: can they google it?

631
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 11: No, they can do google it, and they just simply

632
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 11: need to look up TCM, which stands for Traditional Chinese

633
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 11: Medicine Tongue Mapping, and if they do a search on

634
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 11: Google or whatever search engine they use, they can look

635
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 11: at sort of different mapping and different different examples there

636
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 11: of what tongues look like and maybe compare theirs. Another

637
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 11: great thing to do is just go see a TCM

638
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 11: practitioner and acupuncture is They could tell you what's going

639
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 11: on the pattern in your body, give you some advice

640
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 11: on what to do next. The thing I love about

641
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 11: Chinese medicine it's just it's very accurate. I think it's

642
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 11: more accurate than Western medicine. It gives you a better picture.

643
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 11: I'm obsessed of exactly what's going on.

644
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 10: I want to learn everything, Like what are the books

645
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 10: I should be reading about Chinese medicine and to like

646
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 10: really radicalize me.

647
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 11: Let me say this, there actually are not that many

648
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 11: good books now. I wrote a book years ago. I

649
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 11: think it's maybe the best for the average person to

650
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 11: read on the topic. It's called uh, it's called Ancient Remedies,

651
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 11: And that book really gets into all of this.

652
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 10: You had this whole little formula for me of like

653
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 10: what I need to be doing to warm and warm

654
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 10: my blood, correct and recipes and all kinds of cool things.

655
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 10: Could we don't have to go through my whole thing,

656
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 10: but just like so they have an idea like it

657
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 10: was such a customized cool plan, Like can you just

658
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 10: give a couple examples of like what you had told

659
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 10: me to do.

660
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 11: Yeah, So so with you in particular, again, we need

661
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 11: to build the blood, and we need to build up

662
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 11: that the kidneys and digestive system, and so what we

663
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 11: want to do is focus on the foods and herbs

664
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 11: and supplements that are going to help you do that.

665
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 11: So in order to build the blood. From a food standpoint,

666
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 11: it's going to be some of the things I mentioned earlier.

667
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 11: It's red meat, it's organ meats, it's deemed green leafy vegetables,

668
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 11: it's beetroot juice. Those things in particular are going to

669
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 11: help really build the blood. So foods that are reds

670
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 11: and greens tend to be the most blood building.

671
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 10: Everything was like we need to warm up your body,

672
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 10: warm up your womb like you were like lamb and

673
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 10: stews and soups, basically like treating like my bodies in

674
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 10: like hibernation winter mode, you know.

675
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 11: But again with hypothordism, people's body temperature lowers. We have

676
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 11: to raise it up.

677
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 10: Do you think this tongue thing is connected to the hashimotos.

678
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 1: One hundred percent?

679
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 11: Oh, absolutely, yeah, So in hashimotos, it tends to be

680
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 11: a few different Now there can be multiple causes, but

681
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 11: it tends to be an adrenal issue with what's called

682
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 11: your adrenal yang and your connected to your gut as well,

683
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 11: your gut microbond. That's the autoimmune component there with your

684
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 11: tongue in particular. Not everyone with hashimotos also has a

685
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 11: blood deficiency, but that's why I'm recommending you get more

686
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 11: of these blood building foods that we talked about, like

687
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 11: in the goji berries are included in that too. Now,

688
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 11: the other thing that everybody across the board with hashimotos

689
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 11: has is their adrenals are overstressed, and so there's a

690
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 11: lot of adaptogenic herbs that help that, like asha Ganda

691
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 11: and then one I really like if you also have

692
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 11: autoimmune is astragalus. So Ashwa ganda and astragalus both are adaptogens.

693
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 11: They both strengthen the adrenals. One astraglus strengthens the digestive

694
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 11: system in your immunity as well.

695
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 10: I ordered every single supplement you recommended. I feel like

696
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 10: you put a straggleus on there.

697
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 11: I think capsule or something that was on there.

698
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 10: Which I am really thankful for because somebody else told

699
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 10: me to do a liquid supplement of astragalus tastes like poop.

700
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 10: I hate these liquid ones.

701
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 11: Well, a lot of these herbs are bitter, Yeah, very bitter,

702
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 11: and so they're yeah, they don't they don't taste too good.

703
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 10: So my recommendation and I mean, it's not bad, it's

704
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 10: just some and is it is there some benefits like

705
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 10: I don't know, it starts working faster when you do

706
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 10: the liquid version of these herbs.

707
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 11: The only thing I will say, historically these are always

708
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 11: taken as tease. Now, they didn't have the power to

709
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 11: encapsulate things back then, but maybe there is an impact

710
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 11: in terms of you actually tasting something because with the

711
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 11: capsule you're not tasting it.

712
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 5: Now.

713
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 11: I still think the capsules are fantastic, but I think

714
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 11: that certain drinking certain teas.

715
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 10: She didn't know if they're more bio of it available

716
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 10: or something.

717
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 9: No.

718
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 10: Oh, so I'm just suffering for no reason.

719
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 11: Really.

720
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: Okay, well that's now.

721
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 11: Let me say there are some people that believe that

722
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 11: if you know, you can absorb things if they're held

723
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 11: under your tongue, and it is true, I mean your

724
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 11: mouth and under your tongue. It does have the ability

725
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 11: to absorb absorb certain things. But I think most people

726
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 11: are going to get just as good as results doing

727
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 11: the capsules versus the liquid.

728
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 10: Well, if you have to do any liquid supplements, I

729
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 10: mix them all the other, whatever the amount is, I

730
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 10: put it all in a shot glass and I quick

731
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 10: because it is the worst tasting thing you've ever had.

732
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 10: Do that quick, and then I have like an ollipop

733
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 10: or something like a strong fizzy, you know, kombucha. It's

734
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 10: got to be something like that to kind of like

735
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 10: get the taste off.

736
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 11: Keny, Can I tell you who else we do that with?

737
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: What My four year old she loves that. See, And

738
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: that's what you have.

739
00:33:58,120 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 11: Now, this is a lot of people I have to

740
00:33:59,400 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 11: deal with.

741
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 1: My dad to in his seventies.

742
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 8: So okay, so talk about you.

743
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 10: We're going to talk about the hashimotos. Yeah, because so

744
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 10: many people have it.

745
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 5: Yeah.

746
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 11: So hashimotos is known as a Chi and Yang deficiency

747
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:15,359
Speaker 11: with also a immune component where your immune system is overburdened.

748
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 11: And so what we need to do is and here's

749
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 11: what most people do. Most doctors prescribe synthroid or steroid

750
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,720
Speaker 11: two weaken the immune system. A lot of natural doctors

751
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 11: will say, hey, let's maybe do some herbs and some

752
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 11: vitamins and some dietary changes as well, like an AIP

753
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 11: diet or gaps diet or something along those lines keto carnivore.

754
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 11: But what Chinese medicine will really look at is saying, okay, well,

755
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 11: we need to get to the root of the issue here.

756
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 11: Let's first strengthen up the adrenals. We're going to do

757
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 11: that with ashwa gandha, astragolus, don qui, licorice, root, rishi, mushroom,

758
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 11: some of these herbs, cordyceps, and then we also need

759
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 11: to really support the digestive system, and that's going to

760
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 11: be things like ginger. It's going to be doing bone broth, soup,

761
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:05,320
Speaker 11: I mean soups in general, doing meat, cooked vegetables, bone broth.

762
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 11: Those are gonna be the most healing foods for most

763
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 11: people with autoimmune disease. Soups, soups and more soups, and

764
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 11: things like cooked sweet potato or fine as well, pumpkins

765
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 11: and pumpkins, squashes, rice cooked for a long time to

766
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:22,280
Speaker 11: where it's mush that's called kan g. If somebody consumes

767
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,799
Speaker 11: a diet like that, predominantly, and they take some of

768
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,280
Speaker 11: the submlements I talked about now, I talked about the herbs.

769
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 11: I think a couple subments that really help people with

770
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:35,840
Speaker 11: hashimotos are a methylated bee complex and soil based probacks.

771
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 11: So high dose probiotics along with methylated bees along with

772
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,240
Speaker 11: the herbs I talked about. And then if people can then.

773
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: Also just lower the stress levels.

774
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,280
Speaker 11: Almost every single time I have people with hashimotos reverse

775
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 11: it completely get off their medications. I mean predominantly that happens,

776
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:56,839
Speaker 11: and people with hypothyroidism either get completely off the medications

777
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 11: or get just to the minimal dosage. Almost every single time.

778
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 6: Immediately nobodys thought about you, who's just twenty four to

779
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 6: seven flooding the zone, back to my thirteen year old

780
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 6: owning this space every day, getting a convert and then

781
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 6: I'm thinking about we're gonna stand back and watch you

782
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:29,799
Speaker 6: run circles around us.

783
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 7: He said it best at Turning Point USA. We're relentless.

784
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 7: We're changing minds on campuses every semester, defending conservative values

00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 1: charting the course of America's cultural comeback.

789
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 3: You know.

790
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:54,919
Speaker 1: Again, the best place you can put your money if

791
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: your goal is to keep conservative conversations going, especially on

792
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 1: college campuses, is in Turn Point TPUSA dot com. You

793
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: can also email the show TPT at tpusa dot com.

794
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:08,760
Speaker 1: Lots of emails from last week about how much people really,

795
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 1: really really dislike ilhan Omar, which you know, I'm surprised

796
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 1: to see. Wait, I'm not surprised at all. She's a

797
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:18,880
Speaker 1: very dislikable person, you know. So we have to acknowledge

798
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 1: that today is Cinco de Mayo. And of course just

799
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 1: to just I can't even get through what I was

800
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: gonna say, mostly because I'm thinking about this just terrible

801
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 1: meme that was sent to us, and I want to

802
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 1: show you this as an example of something that we

803
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 1: will not be showing on this show. This is again

804
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 1: grotesque and horrible and I do not condone it. So

805
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 1: whoever you are who found who made this meme, you

806
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 1: know know that this is not something that we like

807
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 1: to show on this show. Go ahead and pull that up,

808
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 1: just to give an example of a Mexican word of

809
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 1: the day, Nacho Nacho president and of course a picture

810
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 1: of kamla ayrs again that is as horrible and disgusting,

811
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 1: so much so I think we should bring bring it

812
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 1: back again because I want to make sure people know

813
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 1: that we will not tolerate jokes and memes like this,

814
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 1: especially on this sacred day that is Sinco de Mayo

815
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:22,240
Speaker 1: and horrible joke. I don't appreciate it, and don't don't

816
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 1: send us stuff like this folks again, tpt at tpusa

817
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,399
Speaker 1: dot com. Let's play this other clip that I think

818
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,439
Speaker 1: is fascinating before we run out of time. Holy cal

819
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 1: the time it goes five fast play this clip of

820
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 1: this just lovable lib talking about Cinco de Maya. Watch this.

821
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 12: You don't get to celebrate a culture that you've tried

822
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:44,840
Speaker 12: to erase. So for all you maggots out there this Monday,

823
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 12: it's not Senco then Mayo for you, it's just May fifth,

824
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 12: and that is all, and that is how it should be.

825
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 12: If you've ever said speak English, if you've ever called

826
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 12: an immigrant illegal, or if you cheered for walls bands

827
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:01,919
Speaker 12: or mass deportations, don't don't you dare celebrate sinko than mayo,

828
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 12: no margarita's, no tequila, no taco's.

829
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:12,360
Speaker 1: I love those one because the inability to recognize the

830
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,359
Speaker 1: fact that a lot of the things that you're talking

831
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 1: about aren't specific to Mexico. Mexico specifically has Sinco de Mayo.

832
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 1: I would almost guarantee you if you ask that lady, Hey,

833
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 1: what is Cinco de Myo, she'd be like, Mexican Independence Day, No,

834
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 1: that's not actually what it is. Go ahead and look

835
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 1: it up for yourself, lady. But then to say all

836
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 1: of these things, if you ever said any of these things,

837
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 1: if you ever wanted a wall, if you ever wanted

838
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 1: a secure border, then you don't get to celebrate a

839
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 1: specifically Mexican holiday. Newsflash, lady, I don't want anybody coming

840
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 1: into the country illegally, whether or not they're from Mexico

841
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 1: or other places. There was a horrible story out of

842
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 1: La of a home break in that happened to be

843
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 1: done by illegal immigrants, and I think somebody was killed.

844
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 1: Is just a horrible disaster. I was reading about it

845
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 1: this morning, and it turns out none of the people

846
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 1: were Mexican or even Latino descent. They were all Georgians,

847
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 1: so Eastern European people coming into the country illegally. I

848
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 1: will tell you straight right now, I don't want those

849
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 1: people here either. Doesn't matter their race, doesn't matter their

850
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 1: cultural or ethnic background. They're not supposed to be in

851
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:19,959
Speaker 1: the country legally. Don't be in the country legally. Geez,

852
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: that is going to do it for us here at

853
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 1: turning point tonight, Charlie is gonna take us out. You guys, remember,

854
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:28,400
Speaker 1: keep watching every night at seven pm Pacific, ten pm Eastern.

855
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for tuning in. Really really appreciate

856
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:33,360
Speaker 1: all of you. Email the show TPT atbusa dot com.

857
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:35,760
Speaker 1: We will see you tomorrow, same time, same place.

858
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:47,359
Speaker 13: God bless America.

859
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 7: So last evening I was part of a let's just say,

860
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 7: a ruling class dinner. These are the people that make

861
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 7: the decisions economically, culturally, politically. As a side note, I

862
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 7: got to check to meet ross Albricht, which was amazing

863
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 7: and I want to put that up on screen. And

864
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:09,359
Speaker 7: that was just awesome. And ross Albrick is now free

865
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:12,280
Speaker 7: from prison with a full pardon thanks to President Donald Trump,

866
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 7: something I advocated for fiercely and forcefully for quite some time.

867
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:19,319
Speaker 7: And it was just awesome. There it is up on

868
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:22,440
Speaker 7: screen to be able to meet ross Albricht, one of

869
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 7: the more let's just say, satisfying accomplishments. Ross Albrick was

870
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 7: given two life sentences plus forty years and egregious over

871
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 7: sentencing for what he did, and I was NonStop focused

872
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:40,320
Speaker 7: on getting him out of jail. And President Trump deserves

873
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:42,359
Speaker 7: all the credit. So I was thrilled to be able

874
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 7: to meet him in person. It was very surreal because

875
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 7: I actually never had a chance to meet him. I'd

876
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 7: only communicated through letter while he's in a maximum security prison.

877
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:52,800
Speaker 7: So I was at this dinner and it was mixed politically.

878
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,719
Speaker 7: I would say it was probably thirty to forty percent Republican,

879
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 7: thirty to forty percent Democrat, and then kind of in

880
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 7: the middle. So this was not an ideological dinner. This

881
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 7: was one where they're kind of just talking about current events,

882
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 7: artificial intelligence, all that. And I'm not going to tell

883
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 7: you what it was or all that because there's all

884
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 7: these confidentiality agreements. But here's the important point is that

885
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:13,879
Speaker 7: at one point somebody asked the groom, raise your hand

886
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 7: if you are bullish on the economy and the state

887
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 7: of America. For the next next six months and almost

888
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 7: no hands went up. Well, group of about one hundred

889
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 7: very important economic titans, how many you are bullish on

890
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:34,360
Speaker 7: the country a year from now, about one fourth of

891
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 7: the hands went up. How many of you are bullish

892
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 7: on the company? Two years from now? Almost every hand

893
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:42,800
Speaker 7: went up. How many you are bullish on the company

894
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 7: a country three years from now? Every single hand went up.

895
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 7: And for me, in this off the record kind of

896
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:56,799
Speaker 7: private gathering, it was very interesting that there might be

897
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 7: some short term pessimism. I took this actually as a

898
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 7: major positive. And the reason there's uncertain even the next

899
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 7: six months, it says, there's just too much on predictability.

900
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:07,719
Speaker 7: That's what they're saying. We don't know where the tariffs are,

901
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:09,839
Speaker 7: we can't plan anything, we don't know if we're going

902
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 7: in recession. We're delaying, we're delaying some investments, all sorts

903
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 7: of excuses. I actually think I'm more bullish for the

904
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 7: short term economy than they are, but that's not worth debating.

905
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 7: What was telling, though, is that they believe that long

906
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 7: term Trump is going to be long term great for America.

907
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:29,840
Speaker 7: And that was the kicker, is that when the money

908
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 7: is on the line, there is a long term bullish

909
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:38,400
Speaker 7: perspective on this country, that there might be dips, and

910
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 7: there might be little speed bumps, and there might be corrections.

911
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 7: But there is an even private agreement amongst people who

912
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 7: hate President Donald Trump. They believe that this long term

913
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 7: economic realignment will work and that it is necessary, and

914
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,440
Speaker 7: that I think is lost in all of the coverage.

915
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 7: And finally, we have a present that is rejecting the

916
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 7: temptation to indulge and engage in immediate gratification.

917
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:10,279
Speaker 5: It's easy to just get the hands in the room

918
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 5: about the next six months.

919
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 7: What is difficult, but what is necessary is what is

920
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 7: the economy you're building for the next three years, the

921
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:19,719
Speaker 7: next ten years, and the next thirty years. That is

922
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 7: the instrumental question. And President Trump wants a real legacy.

923
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 7: And of all the things that President Trump will be

924
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 7: reminded for, will be honored for, is cutting us off

925
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 7: from the instant gratification of the lords of easy money,

926
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 7: of getting high on low interest rates while we are

927
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 7: barreling towards a financial and fiscal apocalypse. And then also

928
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 7: making the provocative and yet so necessary truth claim that

929
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:52,360
Speaker 7: if you don't make stuff in your country, you're not

930
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 7: actually a country. And finally he has awoke in the

931
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:59,800
Speaker 7: United States to what could be called the New co

932
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 7: Old War. Whether we like it or not, we are

933
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 7: involved in some form of a conflict with the Chinese

934
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:10,439
Speaker 7: Communist Party. And let me just say it right here,

935
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 7: there's going to be a testing time. The Chinese Commis

936
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:17,720
Speaker 7: Party very well might go and play their Taiwan card

937
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 7: in this presidency.

938
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:21,799
Speaker 5: And what that looks like we don't know.

939
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:24,360
Speaker 7: And if they're able to get TSMC, which is the

940
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 7: Taiwan semiconductor plant, which is the backbone of the semiconductor

941
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:33,560
Speaker 7: chips for the entire industrialized world, billions of them every year.

942
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 7: Now TSMC is investing in America in Arizona, but they

943
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 7: do not have the highest grade plant. They have what

944
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:42,320
Speaker 7: is a three out of four plant, and only a

945
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 7: four out of four plant is actually able to make

946
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 7: the semiconductor chips that are necessary for the latest iPhones

947
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 7: and the latest devices that power the entire world economy.

948
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:56,959
Speaker 7: We hardly ever talk about Taiwan, and we talk about

949
00:45:57,040 --> 00:46:00,760
Speaker 7: Israel and Ukraine a lot. There's a lot of interesting

950
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:04,759
Speaker 7: elements here, but I found this to be an incredibly

951
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 7: optimistic take, full of growth, one that is against the

952
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:16,799
Speaker 7: narrative that they're trying to paint on television, because if

953
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:18,920
Speaker 7: you think about it, what does the next six months

954
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:22,080
Speaker 7: matter if in three years you're going to be in

955
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:26,800
Speaker 7: economic free fall. Let's play part of President Trump's phenomenal

956
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 7: interview from NBC. He sat down with Kristin Welker, asking

957
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:35,760
Speaker 7: all about small businesses and tariffs, and instead the question

958
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 7: should be how do you think the economy will be

959
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:42,360
Speaker 7: in two years? How are you reconfiguring how the economy

960
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:47,760
Speaker 7: is currently composed. That's the more critical question. In America.

961
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:51,360
Speaker 7: Our goal is growth, and this is such an important point.

962
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:54,440
Speaker 7: When you talk to European CEOs and you talk to

963
00:46:54,480 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 7: European leaders, their goal is sustainability. De industrialization so much

964
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 7: to the developed world just wants to die because they

965
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:07,920
Speaker 7: think that growth means more carbon emissions. Here in this country,

966
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:10,880
Speaker 7: we are a country of flourishing. We're a country of

967
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 7: risk taking, or a country of building, or a country

968
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 7: of inventing, or a country of innovating.

969
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:21,040
Speaker 5: And it's so against the framing of this.

970
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:25,239
Speaker 7: Ridiculous question from Welker from NBC, which I can't get

971
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:27,239
Speaker 7: away from. We got to play cut one forty eight

972
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:28,280
Speaker 7: play cut one forty.

973
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 12: Eight to small businesses say they are being hurt by

974
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 12: the Chinese tariffs.

975
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 1: So many businesses have been helped. Are you relief for

976
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:38,280
Speaker 1: small business?

977
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 6: Why do you always mention that you know, you pick

978
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 6: up a couple of little businesses, what about the car business?

979
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:46,440
Speaker 6: They're going to make a fortune because of the terriffs?

980
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:52,800
Speaker 7: And instead the question should be, well that small business

981
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:59,880
Speaker 7: even have an economy to be able to trade in
