00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.

00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 4: greatest era. With God's help, over the next four years,

9
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 4: we are going to lead this nation even higher, and

10
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:50,480
Speaker 4: we are going to forge the freest, most advanced, most dynamic,

11
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 4: and most dominant civilization ever to exist on the face

12
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 4: of this earth.

Speaker 2: Anywhere in the world. We are going to conquer.

17
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 4: The vast frontiers of science, and we are going to

18
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 4: lead humanity into space and plant the American flag on

19
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 4: the planet Mars and even far beyond. And through it all,

20
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 4: we are going to rediscover the unstoppable power of the

21
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 4: American spirit, and we are going to renew unlimited promise

22
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 4: of the American Dream.

23
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 2: Every single day, we.

24
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 4: Will stand up and we will fight, fight for the

25
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 4: country our citizens believe in, and for the.

26
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 2: Country our people deserve.

27
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,679
Speaker 4: My fellow Americans, get ready for an incredible future because

28
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 4: the Golden Age of America has only just begun. It

29
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 4: will be like nothing that has ever been seen before.

30
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 4: Thank you, God bless you, and God bless.

31
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 5: Honored you get to join you on this the National

32
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:58,600

00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 5: a prayerful home, hopeful, upper tunistic.

34
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 2: Positive note. I feel he struck number of listeners.

35
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,119
Speaker 5: We're not a breaking news show, but I will speak

36
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 5: to this because I can tell people who are upset

37
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 5: about it emailing me very concerned with with Mike Waltz

38
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 5: being out as National Security Advisor after the.

39
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 2: Signal chat leak.

40
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 5: Let me say to you, folks, to be more like

41
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 5: the Democrats. Focus yourself on the cause, on the movement,

42
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 5: and understand that the pieces are interchangeable. Don't worry about

43
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 5: winning every battle, don't worry about things that are not important.

44
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 5: You know, the serenity prayer. God grant me the strength

45
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 5: to accept the things I can't change and the wisdom

46
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 5: to know which those are or something to that effect. Okay, yeah,

47
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 5: you're right, I bungled it all right. Let me take

48
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 5: a deep breath and remember it is. God grant me

49
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 5: the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the

50
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 5: courage to change, that's right, yah, courage to change the

51
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 5: things I can, and wisdom to know the difference. Well,

52
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 5: it's not like I prepared ahead of time. I had

53
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 5: to remember it.

54
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 2: That's it. God. I remember things by wrote.

55
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 5: So when I first learned things, whether it be the

56
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 5: prologue to the Canterbury Tales or the message behind Thomas

57
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 5: Jefferson at the Jefferson Memorial in DC.

58
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 2: I just say it over and over again.

59
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 5: So I get into a routine, and you know, everybody

60
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 5: has their their tricks, but I've got to say the

61
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 5: words exactly because one word off and train gets off

62
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 5: the off tra. God grant me the serenity to accept

63
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 5: the things I cannot change, the courage to change the

64
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 5: things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. So, folks,

65
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 5: we have been on a honeymoon. You understand this. This

66
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 5: is literally referred to in political jargon as a honeymoon.

67
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 5: Trump didn't get the honeymoon most of but I'll tell

68
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 5: you this, he got more of a honeymoon this time

69
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 5: than he did the last time because he insisted on

70
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 5: it because he bulldozed his way through the honeymoon. You're

71
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 5: going to have to stay focused on the movement because

72
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,559
Speaker 5: you burn yourself out. We're going to lose some people

73
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 5: along the way. It might be Pete Hegseth, it might

74
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 5: be Christy Noum, it might be Marco Rubio. I don't

75
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 5: know that they're gonna be people we're going to lose

76
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 5: along the way. It is the movement that matters. It

77
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 5: is the war that matters. And do not fall in

78
00:05:55,120 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 5: love with people because they are expendable, I'm telling you,

79
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 5: And this is Trump's approach. He understands that there are

80
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 5: transactional relationships you can really like somebody. I despised Mike Pence.

81
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 5: I despised him the moment he was chosen. I despised

82
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 5: him as vice president, and I despised him more than

83
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 5: ever now. And Mike Pence is one of the kind

84
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 5: of guys that are supposedly Republican who work harder to

85
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 5: undercut Donald Trump than any Democrat ever has. And the

86
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 5: other one, who's the big fat guy that was Secretary

87
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 5: of State, Mike Pompeo, Pompus Pompeo, Chris Christy.

88
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 2: You get all these guys.

89
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 5: Around Trump that are you know, they're working as hard

90
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 5: as they can. Who was the woman that was the

91
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 5: Trump advisor and her husband? Uh, he's a big, fat guy.

92
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 6: He wanted to be.

93
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 5: He wanted to be attorney general than he wanted to

94
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 5: be an advisor to the president. He got neither. What

95
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 5: was her name. She was a little bit older, blonde haired,

96
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 5: she's real, real, real sharp, and then she ended up

97
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 5: kind of splitting with Trump and then came back to you.

98
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 5: But anyway, what point of all of this is, stay

99
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 5: focused on what matters here, folks. Stay focused on what matters,

100
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 5: and that is saving the country, winning the cause. We're

101
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 5: gonna have some scandals, or suppose it scandals. There's gonna

102
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 5: be some people who are cut loose because they cause problems.

103
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 5: This is the first. There will be many the later

104
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 5: you go into an administration. I've been at this for

105
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 5: a long time. The later you go into an administration,

106
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 5: the more you're gonna lose. You're gonna lose people that

107
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 5: make mistakes. They're gonna have sexual peccadillos. They're gonna have

108
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 5: a drug problem, they're gonna have a financial problem, they're

109
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 5: gonna have they're going to get in a fight, They're

110
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 5: going to get a DWI. It's just gonna happen. Meanwhile,

111
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 5: how bad is it for the Democrats? Kamala Harris making

112
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 5: her first major remarks after her embarrassing, humiliating election loss,

113
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 5: And it's not good.

114
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 2: In fact, please allow me, friends to digress for a moment. Okay,

115
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 2: it's kind of dark in here.

116
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 7: When I'm asked for show of hands?

117
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 8: Who saw that from a couple of weeks ago, the

118
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 8: one of the elephants at the San Diego Zoo during

119
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 8: the earthquake.

120
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 9: Google it.

121
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 2: I do not see it. Sne has been on my mind.

122
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 8: Everybody's asked me what you've been thinking about these days long.

123
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 2: These Michael Barry's shows.

124
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 5: The International Monetary FI the IMF was one of many

125
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,839
Speaker 5: international organizations that was used to meddle in the affairs

126
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 5: of third world countries. It was a way for the

127
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 5: globalists to control the third worlders. You give them some

128
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 5: money and that gave you control. When my wife was

129
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 5: growing up, the IMF, the United Nations, all these were

130
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 5: they were very respected in India. That's why that was

131
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 5: the reason she wanted to be an economist. At the time,

132
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 5: economists were very well respected in India because economists provided

133
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 5: the labor statistics and manufacturing and agriculture data and analysis

134
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 5: that the international organizations would use to figure out how

135
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 5: exactly they were going to control these people. And the

136
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 5: IMF was an organization that was in these third world

137
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 5: countries considered very important because they wrote the checks and

138
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,719
Speaker 5: pretended to care about the third world countries. But as

139
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,839
Speaker 5: Scott Bessant, President Trump's Treasury secretary, who, by the way,

140
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 5: is doing a great job. Is he the most powerful

141
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 5: homo in America?

142
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 9: Today?

143
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 2: Who's more?

144
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 5: Elton John may not be in him, He might be

145
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 5: in England right now? If you tell Elton John out,

146
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 5: is he the most powerful homeow in America? And why

147
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 5: is nobody celebrating him?

148
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 10: Right?

149
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 2: You think during Gay Pride Month?

150
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 5: You think during Gay Pride Month they're going to say,

151
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 5: Scott Besson, he's a hero.

152
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 2: He's one of us. No, no, they're not. And that's sad.

153
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:57,719
Speaker 2: That's sad. Anyway, here's what he had to say. I

154
00:09:58,240 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 2: like this guy. A lot.

155
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:05,239
Speaker 11: Was once unwavering in its mission of promoting global monetary

156
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 11: cooperation and financial stability. Now it devosts does proportion of

157
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 11: time and resources to work on climate change, gender.

158
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 12: And social issues.

159
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 11: These issues are not the IMF mission, and the ims

160
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 11: focus in these areas is crowding out its work on

161
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 11: critical macroeconomic issues. The IMF must be a brutal truth teller,

162
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 11: and not just to some members today IMF, the IMF

163
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 11: has been whistling past the graveyard. It's twenty twenty four

164
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 11: external Sector report was entitled in Balances Receding. This polyannish

165
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 11: outlook is symptomatic of an institution more dedicated to preserving

166
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 11: the status quo than answering the hard questions.

167
00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 5: The Federal Reserve Chairman is appointed by the President and

168
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 5: confirmed by the Senate for a four year term. The

169
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 5: Federal Reserve sets monetary policy. And I'm assuming you know

170
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 5: what that means, but in case you don't, that is

171
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 5: what affects the interest rate at which you can borrow money.

172
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 5: So if you borrowed money for a mortgage at eight

173
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 5: and a half percent versus to and a quarter percent,

174
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 5: those rates, the rate at which the bank borrows and

175
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 5: then sets rates for you, the end consumer, are set

176
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 5: by the Federal Reserve.

177
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 2: The Fed and as.

178
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,839
Speaker 5: Ron Paul said and his son after him, ran it's

179
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 5: an evil organization up to no good. Jerome Powell was

180
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 5: confirmed for his second term as chairman of that evil

181
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 5: empire in May of twenty twenty two. If that position

182
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 5: can be filled by the president, then does the president

183
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 5: have the power to fire the chairman. If he doesn't,

184
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 5: then that person is the most powerful person in the country,

185
00:11:58,320 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 5: right And that's what we're going to find out.

186
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 2: See Trump proves you don't just go hey.

187
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 5: People will say he can't fire the FED chairman. So

188
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 5: Trump understands, you fire him and then you force the case.

189
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 5: This is how you bring change. Senator John Kennedy from

190
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 5: wisy Ina was on Meet the Press and he said

191
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 5: he didn't think any president should have that power. Now

192
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 5: I'm playing this for all of you who love the

193
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 5: little bone moots of John Kennedy.

194
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 2: Oh, John Kennedy's great. He's like Will Rogers.

195
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 5: He's the folksy until it comes time that you need him,

196
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 5: and he'll always always let you down.

197
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 13: Tensions have been mounting between the president and the FED chair.

198
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 14: Would you support President Trump removing Jerome.

199
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 2: Powell as FED chair?

200
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 15: I don't think the president, any president has the right

201
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 15: to remove the Federal Reserve chairman. I think the Federal

202
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 15: Reserve ought to be independent. I think that j Powell

203
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 15: and President Trump need to sit down and once gain

204
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 15: have a hug and a cup of hot cocoa and

205
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 15: work it out. My experience with Jay Poal is that

206
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 15: he's got Tiger Blake. He's going to do what he

207
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 15: thinks is right, and he's not going to go down

208
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 15: in history as the Federal Reserve chairman that allowed inflation

209
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 15: to become wild, as a marqu hare, and he's going

210
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 15: to do what he thinks he's got to do.

211
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 5: The CEO of Azoria, James Fishback, was on Fox Business

212
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 5: with Charles Pain when he said the Fed cut rates

213
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 5: before the election to help Kamala Harris. You understand how

214
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 5: this works, right. They cut the interest rate so you

215
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 5: could borrow for less. That stimulates economic activity. They did

216
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 5: that to try to help Kamala Harris. Because when things

217
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 5: are going well, you're more likely to support the party

218
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 5: that's in power. When they're not going well, you're more

219
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 5: likely to oppose them. That's why they don't want to

220
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 5: lower interest rates because that would stimulate the economy, and

221
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 5: they don't want that to happen for Trump.

222
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 16: For every one republic economist who works at the Federal Reserve.

223
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 16: There are ten Democrat economists. For every one dollars donated

224
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 16: from FED employees in the twenty twenty election, ninety seven

225
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 16: cents went to Democratic candidates or causes. The rate cut

226
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 16: that had no justification in unfundamentals of the economy before

227
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 16: the election, was designed to throw Kamala Harris a lifeline.

228
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 16: And now when there's a real justification with lower inflation

229
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 16: in the midst of a trade negotiation, a real justification

230
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 16: for lower rates, j Powell wants to do absolutely nothing

231
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 16: except stand in the way. And so it's right that

232
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 16: President Trump is calling this out. He has many options

233
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 16: in front of him. But I just wish that Jerome

234
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 16: Powell would do the right thing, look at the facts,

235
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 16: look at what his colleagues in Europe and Canada and

236
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 16: England are doing, and lower rates to support our economy

237
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 16: in this critical transition period.

238
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 11: So Day's many are concerned, myself included, at firing Pal

239
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 11: at this very second.

240
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 9: With the market as fragile ed as is, can actually.

241
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 11: Do more harm than good.

242
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 2: Some have also talked about as shadow FED chair. Would

243
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 2: you be open to that? I would be.

244
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 16: Open and I would be honored if the President would

245
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 16: consider me for shadow FED share. I've been following this

246
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 16: for a decade now, looking very closely at FED policy

247
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 16: and its implications not just on the stock market, Charles,

248
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 16: but on real America. As we speak, President Trump is

249
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 16: meeting with the executives of companies like Walmart, Home Depot,

250
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 16: and Target. He regularly meets with farmers, the unemployed retirees.

251
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 16: J Powell just sits around listen into whatever four hundred

252
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 16: PhD economists say talking about racial injustice and climate change.

253
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 16: We need a FED that is accountable to the American

254
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 16: people and that focuses on the real economy. To your question,

255
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 16: I'm going to be very honest with you. If President

256
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 16: Trump decided to fire J. Powell right now, the stock

257
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 16: market would panic. But at the end of the day,

258
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 16: our founding fathers would not want us to make long

259
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 16: term decisions based on the short term emotions of a

260
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 16: highly volable market. I think the President should consider his options,

261
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 16: and at the end of the day, ultimately the American

262
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 16: people and history, not the stock market, are going to

263
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 16: decide his faith.

264
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 5: While we're on the sub to finances, Treasury Secretary Scott Besson.

265
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 5: We think he's doing a great job. He said something

266
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 5: that resonated with me. He said, everyone should care about

267
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 5: financial literacy, and I agree with this.

268
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 12: Everyone should care about financial literacy, whether you are a

269
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 12: student with a summer job or a part time job

270
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 12: during school, whether you're in college, whether you're starting your career,

271
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 12: or whether you are at the end of your career.

272
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 12: Making good financial choices creates economic security.

273
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 2: And look, it's fun.

274
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 12: You learn about the markets, you learn how to.

275
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 5: Have almost went the lawless good of myself.

276
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 2: The Michael Verie Show.

277
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 5: I've had a lot of people tell me that they

278
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 5: should have been taught. I wish they'd been taught in

279
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 5: school how money works. But it's not just in school.

280
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 5: Read Thomas Soul's Basic Economics. Just start there and educate

281
00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 5: yourself on how the system works. People don't understand compounding interest.

282
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 5: They don't understand the effects of debt, they don't understand

283
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 5: the effects of equity, they don't understand any of these things.

284
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 5: You've got to teach yourself. Not whine about it, because

285
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 5: if you don't understand the rules of the game, then

286
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 5: you're you're not going to win.

287
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 2: You want to know.

288
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:20,919
Speaker 5: Who hadn't learned the lessons about basic economics. Oakland's mayor elect,

289
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 5: Barbara Lee. This is Barbara Lee during one of the

290
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 5: debates leading up to her election, advocating for a fifty

291
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 5: five zero dollar minimum wage.

292
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:32,919
Speaker 2: Good grief.

293
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 13: You're calling for a fifty dollars an hour federal minimum wage.

294
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 13: That's seven times the current national minimum wage of seven

295
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 13: to twenty five an hour. Can you explain how that

296
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 13: would be economically sustainable for small businesses? You have sixty seconds.

297
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 3: First, let me say I owned and ran a small

298
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 3: business for eleven years.

299
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 2: I created hundreds of.

300
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 3: Jobs, benefits, retirement benefits, also.

301
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 2: Held care benefits.

302
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 3: I know what worker productivity means, and that means that

303
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 3: you have to make sure that your employees are taken

304
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 3: care of and have a living wage. In the Bay Area,

305
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 3: I believe it was the United Way came out with

306
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:18,479
Speaker 3: the report that very recently one hundred and seven twenty

307
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 3: seven thousand dollars for a family of four is just

308
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 3: barely enough to get by. Another survey, very recently one

309
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 3: hundred and four thousand for a family of one barely

310
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 3: enough to get by low income because of the affordability crisis,

311
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 3: and so Just do the math.

312
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 2: Just do the math.

313
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 3: Of course, we have national minimum wages that we need

314
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 3: to raise to a living wage. You're talking about twenty

315
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 3: five dollars. Fine, but I have got to be focused

316
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 3: on what California needs and what the affordability factor is

317
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 3: when we calculate this wage.

318
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 12: MISLEI thank you.

319
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 5: It was just over a year ago when California raised

320
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,360
Speaker 5: the state's minimum wage to twenty dollars, and.

321
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,679
Speaker 2: Do you remember what happened? Do you remember the rising wages?

322
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 17: California's fast food workers started earning more money today, twenty

323
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 17: five percent more than they were making yesterday. The pay

324
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 17: raise could mean higher prices at some restaurants and has

325
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 17: reportedly prompted at least one Central Valley business to shutter today.

326
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 16: The employees of the Foster's Freeze and the more showed

327
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 16: up for work but got their.

328
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 13: Last paycheck instead.

329
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 14: Actually, news anchor and Ne Garcia was in the war

330
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 14: tonight and talked to workers about the abrupt closure.

331
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 9: Some of the people who worked at this Foster's Freeze

332
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 9: thought it was an April Fool stage joke until they

333
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 9: saw the clothes sign for themselves and reality sunk in.

334
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 18: I was like okay, uh huh, April fools before all

335
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 18: he had with Warner, not April fools. I realized that

336
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 18: she was not joking. I drove straight over here and

337
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 18: got my last check.

338
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 9: Mornica Nevadro got a phone call from her general manager

339
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 9: informing her the location would not open for business again.

340
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 2: All day would be customers drove.

341
00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 9: In and away as they learned what the employees learned

342
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 9: Monday morning. How does that feel to.

343
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,400
Speaker 2: Show up and there has not be a job.

344
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:08,199
Speaker 4: Jarring?

345
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 18: It's like, okay, you can go home, and then it's

346
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 18: like I thought.

347
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 2: I was gonna work today.

348
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 19: It's hard to take it when there was no notice

349
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 19: at all.

350
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 9: The closure comes the same day California's minimum wage for

351
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 9: fast food workers rises to twenty dollars an hour. Economic

352
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 9: experts have been predicting closures and layoffs in the months

353
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 9: leading up to the hike.

354
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,919
Speaker 5: Most of the time, not all of the time, the

355
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 5: business owners have to pass those costs increased onto the consumer.

356
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 9: At this Foster's freeze, the assistant general manager tells us

357
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 9: that was supposed to be the plan increased prices and

358
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 9: shortened shifts.

359
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 6: He had to.

360
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 8: Actually talk to us like we were preparing to pay

361
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 8: twenty dollars an hour, like it wasn't a possibility of

362
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 8: us closing. He had said, like, all right, on the schedules,

363
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 8: we're going to run smaller crews. We're gonna do a little.

364
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 2: Bit shorter shifts.

365
00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 8: People are gonna get the hours cut a little bit,

366
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 8: but we'll be to make it work. We're going to

367
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 8: raise some prices.

368
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 2: But like we're good.

369
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 9: That all changed Monday morning, Nevado says, the owner told

370
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 9: her he just couldn't afford to pay the new minimum wage.

371
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 9: We called him to ask about the closure.

372
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,719
Speaker 10: Any recording.

373
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,959

Speaker 18: for a job because I don't have one anymore without notice, And.

381
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 9: The challenge of finding a new job for some of

382
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,880
Speaker 9: the people here comes is they're trying to pay tuition

383
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 9: for college and deal with other expenses. Also challenging for

384
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 9: all involved, both the workers and the business owners, is inflation,

385
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 9: making cost cutting all the more difficult. In Lamar on

386
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 9: Nick Garcia, ABC thirty Action News.

387
00:21:55,840 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 5: Peter Thiel is the co founder of PayPal Smart guy. Oh,

388
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 5: we were talking about most powerful homos. He's up there,

389
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 5: but I think Scott Bess and Treasury secretaries is higher.

390
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 5: He sat down with Joe Lonsdale and they were talking

391
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 5: about DOGE and waste and.

392
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:11,719
Speaker 2: Fraud and abuse.

393
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 5: It's been found and Peter Thiel said, virtue signaling is

394
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 5: a sign of doing something evil.

395
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 19: What do you think of doge? Speaking of efficiency gangs?

396
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 19: It's like, can they get half a trillion dollars with doge?

397
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 18: Like?

398
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 2: What can they do? What do you think?

399
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 12: Give me more?

400
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot you can get. There's gonna

401
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: be a lot of resistance to getting it. You have

402
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:35,439
Speaker 1: to you know, the the correct answer is just you

403
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: need you know it is always my correct you know

404
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: my answer on tax policy? You know what should tax

405
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 1: rates be? Just always a little bit lower? I'm i

406
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 1: gonna tell you the number. They should always be a

407
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,679
Speaker 1: little bit lower. And you know how much should it

408
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 1: should always be? The government should be more efficient and

409
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: then once you made it more efficient, you should make

410
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: it more efficient.

411
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 2: And there's a lot of room for that. And there's

412
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 2: a lot of so there's a lot of shocking stuff.

413
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 2: They're Finney even I would want to limit it to half.

414
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's it's a it's a four trillion

415
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 1: dollar and you will spend budget things.

416
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 10: I think.

417
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 2: I think it's higher now, and of course you.

418
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 1: Know, a lot of that's entitlements, but I think I

419
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 1: think at.

420
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 2: Six and a half now.

421
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 19: Actually guess I think fourths that we're taking in forwards,

422
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 19: somethings were taken in. We're spending six and a half

423
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 19: because three point eights entitlements is a lot.

424
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,919
Speaker 1: And but even even the non entitlement pieces, you know,

425
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: is incredibly is incredibly off.

426
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 19: No, and entilement's had lots of fraud too, probably, but

427
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 19: I usually I've been a little bit shocked, like I

428
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 19: knew there was waste, but there seems like a lot

429
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 19: of scams they're finding. I guess, like a lot more scams,

430
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 19: I guess.

431
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 2: Than I think there's scams.

432
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: I think the nonprofit stuff is really out of control.

433
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 2: It's it's it's sort of like.

434
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's it's it's sort of like virtue

435
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: signaling is a sign that you're doing something evil. And

436
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: and so many, so much of this uh left wing philanthropy,

437
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 1: nonprofit world I think was you know, it was just

438
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: a cover for you know, borderline criminalize.

439
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 19: It's how you shelled your soufia, put a virgie signal

440
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 19: players stealing money if you have everyone.

441
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 5: Peter Thiel said, since Trump's inauguration, he's been the most

442
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 5: hopeful he's.

443
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 2: Ever been in a long time.

444
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 5: And this is a guy who wants to travel to

445
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 5: Mars or live out in the sea, and this is

446
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 5: a guy who thinks on a plane that I can't

447
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 5: even imagine.

448
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 1: I'm the most hopeful I've been about things in a

449
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: in a long time. I think, uh, I think there

450
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 1: are some very deep problems that need to be fixed.

451
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: I think, uh, I think the opposition is completely exhausted

452
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 1: and out of ideas and so so it's it's it's

453
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 1: maybe the first time since since early Reagan that there's uh,

454
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 1: there's really an opportunity to to uh to change some

455
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: things in this country. And and and it's not the

456
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 1: sort of lame Bush Republican thing we had in the

457
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 1: you know, for for a long time in between. And

458
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 1: I don't think it's the completely sabotaged first Trump administration

459
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: where you had I don't know, it got blocked on

460
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 1: every level outside and inside the administration. So I think

461
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: they will get you know, it's very unusual. Normally the

462
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 1: second term does less than the first term.

463
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 2: This is going to be the I think people will

464
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 2: be the real first.

465
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 20: They are telling you what's called onesies, these little things

466
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:19,719
Speaker 20: clothing for a baby.

467
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 2: I like Malca Barry Ship.

468
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:23,919
Speaker 14: You're one of.

469
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 2: All these onesies.

470
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 5: The polling shows Democrats strange was going to have very

471
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 5: very low approval ratings, horrible approval ratings. So that's why

472
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 5: the media keeps saying Trump's bad. His numbers are forty four,

473
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 5: Democrats are twenty five. Put it into perspective. So Democrat

474
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 5: Congressman James Clapperton, the guy who brought you Joe Biden.

475
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 2: He was on MSNBC. And you gotta admire these people.

476
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 5: You know, I have buddies that are lawyers that have

477
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 5: to represent murderers or drug dealers or whatever else. And

478
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 5: and and you know the hired guns the or hired assassin.

479
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 2: They make jokes about it. You know, I get paid

480
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 2: to lie.

481
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,440
Speaker 5: One of my buddies a criminal defense attorney, Dan Cogle says,

482
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 5: I get paid to lie. The other day I said,

483
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 5: you know, everybody thinks you're a liar, and he goes,

484
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 5: I get paid to lie.

485
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 2: That's what I do.

486
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 5: I'm an advocate, and in the purest sense, that's what

487
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 5: a lawyer does. He says things that he may or

488
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:22,360
Speaker 5: may not believe because his job is to provide advocacy

489
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 5: or a canon, and that's for his client. That's hard

490
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,160
Speaker 5: for people to understand. But at least he's honest about it, right,

491
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:30,679
Speaker 5: and we have a lot of fun with that. But

492
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 5: James Clavern, he's supposed to be a trustworthy guy. He's

493
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 5: supposed to be somebody who's a leader, but he's not.

494
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 2: He's an idiot.

495
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 5: He said with a fate, with a straight face, that

496
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:47,199
Speaker 5: Democrats have a great message. Their only problem is the media,

497
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 5: because the media is not left wing enough. So what

498
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 5: you have here is both sides blaming each other for

499
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 5: the mess they got themselves in.

500
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 10: Well, I'll think the message that consan do a kind

501
00:26:59,000 --> 00:26:59,439
Speaker 10: of party.

502
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:00,719
Speaker 2: It's a good adpass.

503
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 10: It's the problem we've got is that we have to

504
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 10: depend upon the media to deliver it. If we have

505
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 10: the Washington Post, for instance, caving to this will be dictated.

506
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 10: And we've got other media entities that seem to rather

507
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 10: push a narrative that will bring eyes to their newspapers

508
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 10: or to their television sets and not really give a

509
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:39,679
Speaker 10: fear sharing or reporting to what we're doing. And I

510
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 10: have to rely upon people like yourself. You do a

511
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 10: great job of this.

512
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 2: That's why I like coming on your shows on.

513
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 10: The weekends, because you do a real good substantive reporting

514
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 10: of what the issues are around us. But when you've

515
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 10: got people say we're not going to fact check, we're

516
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 10: not gonna worry about whell not you tell the two

517
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 10: and just let the reproachs go out there, that's what's

518
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 10: killing us as Democrats.

519
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 5: Ramon, did you watch The Office? I never watched The Office? Okay, well,

520
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 5: but I know who the characters are, a lot of

521
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 5: memes about them, and I know I was. I meant

522
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 5: to talk about this other that. I don't know if

523
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 5: I got to it. But Rain Wilson is a lefty

524
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 5: who was famous for playing the character of Dwight shrewt

525
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 5: Am I pronouncing that right on the Office. He sat down,

526
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 5: Oh it's been Polly a week ago now with MSNBC

527
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 5: Stephanie Rule, and she says that the public has a

528
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 5: lack of faith in the media and that that's because

529
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 5: of Donald Trump and Elon Musk. And he was supposed

530
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 5: to say that's true. Trump and Musk are bad guys,

531
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 5: but for some reason he didn't, which is surprising considering

532
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 5: what he does for a living.

533
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 6: Of Americans don't trust mainstream media.

534
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 2: Why is that?

535
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 7: How do we get here?

536
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 14: Listen, we are seeing a huge loss in trust of all.

537
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 2: Of our institutions.

538
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 14: It's the media, it's medicine, it's banking. It's a huge

539
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 14: problem because when you think about democracy and all of

540
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 14: these pillars, they need to stand tall, they need to

541
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 14: stand strong, and sort of losing that trust is not

542
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 14: by accident, it's by design. If you remember when President

543
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 14: Trump was running the first time, Steve Bannon once said,

544
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 14: the goal is to blow the whole thing up.

545
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 2: And so I think that you've.

546
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 14: Got mistakes made or things starting to slip. Well, at

547
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 14: the same time, there's a concerted effort to destroy the media,

548
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 14: because the media, that the news media is, in my opinion,

549
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 14: the last slide of defense of holding power accountable.

550
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 2: Right, And you had a.

551
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 14: Bit of a perfect storm, right, President Trump won and

552
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 14: tons of people were shocked or angry or frustrated and

553
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 14: they're tuning out. And at the same time you have

554
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 14: the Elon Musk media machine because they want you to

555
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 14: leave traditional media and they want you to go to

556
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 14: x which is a bastion of misinformation or there is

557
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 14: no fact checking.

558
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 2: So it's a perfect storm of people.

559
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 14: Saying, I'm angry, I'm frustrated, I'm tuning out, I'm disconnecting,

560
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 14: and then you have a force pushing it. But even

561
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 14: in the last two weeks, what we need to do

562
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 14: is just cover.

563
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 2: What's happening in America.

564
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 18: Right.

565
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 2: We have to cover Democrats.

566
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 14: Trying to figure out what their lane is and how

567
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 14: they're going to get back on their feet, and we

568
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 14: have to simply cover what this White House is doing.

569
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 14: And I think if we do that right, there's that saying,

570
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 14: you know, trust is gained in rain drops and it's

571
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 14: lost in buckets, and it's not a yes, you're not

572
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 14: incorrect that the media.

573
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 2: Has lost trust.

574
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 6: This is where I would push back when I see

575
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 6: this kind of insight and passion being directed at the

576
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,479
Speaker 6: current administration and the lack of this kind of insight

577
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 6: and passion being directed at the previous administration, where again

578
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 6: I'm not talking about you, talking out left leaning news

579
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 6: media organizations were kind of like.

580
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 2: La la la, la la, everything's fine with the environments.

581
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 2: I mean, look, the.

582
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 6: Economy's great, La la la, Immigration's not that much of

583
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 6: a problem. And really being Cleopatra Queen of denial, thank

584
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 6: you boom.

585
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 5: I could literally do an entire show with highlights of

586
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 5: Scott Jennings just humiliating his colleagues at CNN, just humiliating.

587
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 5: He told Jeff Jarvis and Abby Phillips that the reason

588
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 5: the public has lost in the media has Sorry, the

589
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 5: reason the public has lost faith in the media should

590
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 5: be obvious to them, but we all know it's not.

591
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 2: Hello, Scott has.

592
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 20: Taken advantage of this situation, I think, quite cleverly, quite lively.

593
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 20: They've played into a weakness. What situation, the situation of

594
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 20: media being under attack, and so they've created the situation.

595
00:31:58,680 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 2: They've almost got it keep going.

596
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 21: What the right wing has taken advantage of is finally

597
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 21: the American people saying enough is enough. They're tired of

598
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 21: feeling like the mass media screens out one viewpoint versus

599
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 21: another in political coverage. They're tired of media institutions favoring

600
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 21: one party over another.

601
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 2: They're tired of.

602
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 21: Narratives over factual stories. If I had any advice for

603
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 21: sixty Minutes or anybody else, it would be just cover

604
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 21: the news and try to be fair about it and

605
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 21: stop putting your finger on the scale, especially.

606
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 20: If that's that you're you're you're talking about the old

607
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 20: mass media myth that you could have this thing that

608
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 20: was in the middle of the Walter Cronkite saying that's the.

609
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 2: Way it is when it wasn't for.

610
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 20: Many Americans the way it was when people were passive,

611
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 20: people trusted the media, didn't know. They just couldn't be

612
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 20: heard because there was no two ways.

613
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:48,959
Speaker 21: Now we have the internet.

614
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 2: Look at that it was here and now it's here.

615
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 2: It's falling off of a cam. We do have.

616
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 7: We do have that gallop pulling it terrible in media

617
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 7: and now has in recent years. And let's be honest, Scott,

618
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 7: a lot of this is driven by the rhetoric of

619
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 7: the other.

620
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 10: Side of what.

621
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 18: You think.

622
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 2: It's driven by the rheor not to perform absolutely question.

623
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 21: My point is this, if your CBS or any other

624
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 21: news outlet, the reason that you have lost trust ought

625
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 21: to be obvious to you, and the way to fix

626
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 21: it also ought to be obvious to you. And it

627
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:20,920
