That's pretty good. 178 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 10: I said, who is one hundred and twenty nine years? 179 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 10: What was that, doctor, Ronnie? What was who's one hundred 180 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 10: and twenty nine years ago? I never looked because it 181 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 10: started at being one hundred and then they uped it 182 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 10: to that. But it's a great compliment. We won the 183 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 10: majority by seven point one million. We won, which is 184 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 10: great because Republicans aren't supposed to be winning the majority. 185 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: Marjorie, you know that, right, And we won that, and we. 186 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 10: Wanted every way, all seven swing states by a lot. 187 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,079 Speaker 10: And then Michigan was great. Couldn't be better. I'll tell 188 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,679 Speaker 10: you Michigan was great. 189 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 9: And. 190 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: Michigan couldn't be better. He says. That's off to Pete Hookshare, 191 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 1: the Republican chair in Michigan, pulling off something nobody thought 192 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 1: could happen. 193 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 4: Just a year ago. 194 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 1: Now, hopefully John Thune got the message he said he 195 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: did earlier. He heard his comment two years ago. He 196 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 1: had a different message, and that's why I bring it back. 197 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 1: Two years ago he was anything but a supporter of 198 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 1: the president. He said he wanted other options, that he 199 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: wanted someone else anyone else to be the twenty twenty 200 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 1: four Republican presidential nominee. 201 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,079 Speaker 4: Now, hopefully he's. 202 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: A better political leader than he is a political analyst 203 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: or prognosticator. If he cares about maintaining his position at 204 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,079 Speaker 1: center majority leader, he will help President Trump, not hinder him. 205 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 1: And if you want proof of that, watch this. 206 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 7: If Donald Trump is the Republican nominee, would you support him? Well, 207 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 7: I'm I'm hoping leand to have other options and and 208 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 7: I think again, I think we have. 209 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: A robust primary process. 210 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 7: So you know that is a hypothetical, and I know 211 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 7: this is the way. 212 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 1: It's a cop out. 213 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 7: You don't I answer that question, but it truly is 214 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 7: at this. 215 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,239 Speaker 1: Point very preliminary. 216 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 7: And I guess what I would tell you is I 217 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 7: hope we have other options, and I think we will 218 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 7: have other options. You know, who all gets into this 219 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 7: race remains to be seen, but I know there are 220 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 7: a number of folks out there who are looking at 221 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,559 Speaker 7: it who I think represent you know, a sort of 222 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,559 Speaker 7: new generation of leadership, a leadership with a can articulate 223 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 7: a vision for the future of this country that is winsome, 224 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 7: that is you know, aspirational, and that appeals to people's hopes. 225 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 4: Appeals to people's hopes. 226 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,079 Speaker 1: Now filling can start by supporting President Donald Trump's Day 227 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,040 Speaker 1: one agenda, not just a word, but to throw that 228 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 1: out of way, but to do. 229 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 4: It in fact. 230 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: And he said yesterday as I played at the top. 231 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 4: Of this program, that he is on board. 232 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 1: He also said he will move Donald Trump's nooms through 233 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:10,439 Speaker 1: fast nominees. 234 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 4: Is what he meant. He's used the term knobs. 235 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 1: Of course, take for example President Trump's plan to cut 236 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 1: waste and stop inflation through impoundment. President Trump says he 237 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: will do everything he can to challenge the Impoundment Control 238 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 1: Act in court if necessary, and get Congress to overturn it. 239 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: He intends to deliver savings to the American people. That's 240 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 1: why Elon Musk is here, but the ake Kramaswami is here. 241 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: Efficiency is his rule, accountability, his directive. Savings is guaranteed. 242 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 1: With Elon Musk and Vivac kramas Swami, he will help 243 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,599 Speaker 1: him win with the support of Republicans in Congress. 244 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 4: Everyone wins here. 245 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 9: He is when I returned to the White House, I 246 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 9: will do everything I can to challenge the Impoundment Control 247 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,720 Speaker 9: Act in court. And if necessary, get Congress to overturn it. 248 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 9: We will overturn it. I will then use the president 249 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 9: long recognized empowerment power to squeeze the bloated federal bureaucracy 250 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 9: for massive savings. This will be in the form of 251 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 9: tax reductions for you. This will help quickly to stop 252 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 9: inflation and slash the deficit. To prepare for this eventuality, 253 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 9: on day one, I will order every federal agency to 254 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 9: begin identifying large chunks of their budgets that can be 255 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 9: saved through efficiencies and waste reduction using empowerment. 256 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:32,560 Speaker 4: Yeah. 257 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,680 Speaker 1: Now, President Trump has began putting together the pieces of 258 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 1: what he opens as a winning team. He's turned a 259 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: political comeback into a civic comeback. He has returned to 260 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: Washington not to preside, but to lead. He is surprised 261 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: and impressed, proving that he will not only sacrifice the 262 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: the Democrats and the deep State. He will sacrifice them, 263 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 1: but he will not sacrifice his principles or break his promises. 264 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 1: And his promise here is to make America great again. 265 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 1: And we appreciate that. All right, coming up after the break, 266 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,679 Speaker 1: we have a lot more to cover here today. Over 267 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,839 Speaker 1: the last four years, we witnessed the near destruction of 268 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 1: the American auto industry bought A new dawn approaches as 269 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 1: Domedrump prepares to take office. What is he going to 270 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 1: do to repair all of this and the damage done 271 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 1: by this push for evs and green new deals and such. 272 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 4: We'll have it all after the Breakation. 273 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 1: Has been pushing policies they claim would prioritize clean energy 274 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 1: and electric vehicles, But many American auto workers have been 275 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 1: seeing their jobs disappear or get shipped overseas to places 276 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 1: like Mexico and China, which oftentimes. 277 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 4: Are one of the same anymore. 278 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: This comes at a time when some of America's biggest automakers, 279 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 1: like Ford, are pledging to keep production at home. 280 00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 4: The question is is it too little, too late? 281 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 1: Recently, US Senator Mark Warner, Democrat, warned that policies driving 282 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: American auto Americans offshore could be devastating for both HUHUS 283 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 1: workers and the economy. What will President elect Donald Trust's 284 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: policies do to change that trajectory here in the United States? Well, 285 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: let's ask My next guest join me now is the 286 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 1: CEO of MCQ Market's Kurt Hopkins. Kurt, nice to see you, today. 287 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 1: Good to see you as well, and I see you're 288 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: in London today and I appreciate you taking the time. Look, 289 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 1: if you go back to nineteen seventy nine, there were 290 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 1: one point five million members of the United Auto Workers Union. 291 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 1: Today it's about four hundred thousand, and only about half 292 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: of those, a little less than half, actually work in 293 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: the auto industry. We've seen Stilantis lay people off. Ford 294 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 1: Motor Company just called for an end of production of 295 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: the Lightning they pickup truck. That's an EV. All of 296 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 1: these pursuits of EV have been devastating for manufacturing here 297 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: in the United States, and I'm not sure it can 298 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: be reversed. 299 00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 11: What are your thoughts, Well, I mean, clearly there's a 300 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 11: big shift in those last you know, thirty years or so, 301 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 11: and so I think that this incoming administration definitely is 302 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 11: looking to lower energy prices and to provide incentives to 303 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 11: automakers to bring car production back to the US and 304 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 11: so hopefully that we'll really revitalize this once thriving industry 305 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 11: and create more jobs and strengthen the economy generally. 306 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, the economy has been. 307 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 4: Mixed, to say the least. 308 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 1: I mean, the markets go up but inflation goes up, 309 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 1: wages go up, but those wages are digested by the inflation. 310 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 1: As we see and look, the auto industry is not 311 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: what it used to be. I grew up near Lansing, Michigan. 312 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: There were seven auto plants. Then there are three now 313 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 1: and again we see plants closing, We see manufacturing being. 314 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 4: Sent to Mexico and elsewhere. 315 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: Will Donald Trump and his tariffs and his plans, will 316 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 1: that bring more manufacturing back here? 317 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 4: Do you think? 318 00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 6: Well? 319 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 11: I think it definitely will. The question is, and the 320 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:05,400 Speaker 11: possible downside is it may provide a bump to inflation again. 321 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,679 Speaker 11: So that's something that he really needs to be careful of. 322 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 11: Has to balance protecting American industry and low prices, and 323 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 11: it's hard to have both. But certainly, if more auto 324 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 11: jobs can be brought back to the US, I think 325 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,119 Speaker 11: that'll make a massive difference. And I do know that 326 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 11: there's been major investments being made across the industry to 327 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 11: really bring back that investment and really to strengthen these 328 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,200 Speaker 11: domestic supply chains. 329 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,399 Speaker 1: You know, most people don't realize this, but it was 330 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 1: Lennon Johnson who put a twenty five percent tariff on 331 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 1: the importation of foreign built light duty pickup trucks. That's 332 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 1: why Toyota's manufactured here in America. That's why Nissan is manufactured. 333 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 1: I believe they're in Mississippi, if I'm not mistaken, and 334 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 1: Toyota is in California. Look, terras drive the industries in 335 00:17:56,560 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 1: America to build great things, and so when people criticize taris, 336 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,119 Speaker 1: I'm not sure they quite understand the goal here. And 337 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,120 Speaker 1: the goal is to bring manufacturing back to America. 338 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:09,159 Speaker 11: Right, Yeah, truly, And you're trying to protect industry, but 339 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 11: you just have to get balance it out and bear 340 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,199 Speaker 11: in mind that if you start putting tariffs on, the 341 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,880 Speaker 11: prices will go up, you know, eventually. So but at 342 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:19,880 Speaker 11: the same time, there can be a lot of incentives 343 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 11: to put on an American industry to grow, to build 344 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,400 Speaker 11: battery factories, to build new if you're producing new kinds 345 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 11: of evs, to produce those, and so I think over 346 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,199 Speaker 11: time it should be very very good to bring that 347 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 11: manufacturing capacity back to the US and to really gift 348 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,439 Speaker 11: more independent that way. 349 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,360 Speaker 1: Curtly, I mean, our EV is really the future. I mean, 350 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 1: I've got insurance companies now that won't even allow people 351 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 1: to put evs inside their garage. 352 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 4: These hurricanes that came through here in the. 353 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,879 Speaker 1: Last few weeks showed quite clearly that salt water and 354 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,399 Speaker 1: evs don't mix. Evs. You know, if I part my 355 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 1: my pwerful of petrol in the garage, it doesn't burst 356 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:02,200 Speaker 1: into flames spontaneously. Ev is on occasion. Do If I 357 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,399 Speaker 1: put my car full of gasoline or diesel in the 358 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 1: garage and it's full at night, it's full in the morning, 359 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,160 Speaker 1: EV's I might be a three quarters of. 360 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 4: A charge when I get out. There's a lot of 361 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 4: downfall to EV Do you think they're really the future? 362 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 11: You know, different strokes for different folks. I think if 363 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,879 Speaker 11: you're looking at just running around town, you're in a 364 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,440 Speaker 11: small area, and you won something that can zip around 365 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 11: town easily. I think in EV can be great for that. 366 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 11: But obviously for long distances, for being able to travel 367 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 11: and not have to worry about where you're going to 368 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 11: fill up, then all those things make a difference to 369 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 11: have a gasoline car, And so I think there's gonna 370 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,160 Speaker 11: be both. I don't think there is a single future. 371 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 11: I think it's going to be really multi modal, and 372 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 11: there's gonna be many electrics where it makes sense, but 373 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,439 Speaker 11: otherwise it's gonna stick with gas and diesel. 374 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: I think there's gonna be a lot of that, Kurt Hopkins, 375 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,160 Speaker 1: I really appreciate you joining us from the UK today.

Kurt Graile appreciates you being here. 391 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:46,719 Speaker 4: Thank you so much. Perfect I appreciate good conversation there all. 392 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 1: Right after the break, yesterday's special counsel Jack Smith asked 393 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 1: the court to pull the plug. Basically on this case 394 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,880 Speaker 1: against the sinity forty seventh President Donald Trump. I'll give 395 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: you more details and updates when we come back. Nice 396 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 1: to see you on a third day, all right. The 397 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 1: Justice Department's criminal cases against President Trump are slowly but 398 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 1: surely disintegrating. Now forty five, soon to be forty seven. Well. 399 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: On Wednesday, Special Counsel Jack Smith asked the Eleventh Circuit 400 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 1: Court of Appeals to press pause on its case to 401 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 1: quote afford the government time to assess this unprecedented circumstance 402 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:33,400 Speaker 1: and determine the appropriate course going forward with consistency. 403 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 4: With the Department of Justice policy. 404 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 1: The unprecedented circumstance from Smith in the DOJ's US President 405 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 1: Trump's reelection. Of course, the appeal in question was over 406 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 1: District Judge Eileen Cannon's dismissal of the document's case against 407 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 1: President Trump due to Smith being illegally appointed by the 408 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:54,920 Speaker 1: Justice Department in the first place. The prosecutions of President 409 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 1: Trump are being wiped off the board because the Justice 410 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 1: Department has a policy of not prosecuting sitting presidents. Smith 411 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,159 Speaker 1: is also expected to leave his position as Special Council 412 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 1: before President Trump takes office next year and fires him 413 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,639 Speaker 1: it's unknown if he'll author and release a report on 414 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:16,440 Speaker 1: the work he's done. Probably best not Jack. I'd probably 415 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 1: just leave it be and go. Parts of the Northeast 416 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 1: continue to deal with wildfires, the Northeast, not the west. 417 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 1: The Northeast dealing with wildfires that are tearing through real 418 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 1: estate is along in the New York and New Jersey 419 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: border or seeing significant damage as drought conditions are fueling 420 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:36,719 Speaker 1: the flames so bad that New Jersey's governor just declared 421 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 1: a drought warning. Meantime, helicopters are scooping water out of 422 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 1: a lake to dump on the wildfire. It's how it's done. 423 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 1: So far, nearly eight square miles have burned just in 424 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 1: that area, although homes. 425 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 4: Have been damaged. 426 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 1: Fire crews say the terrain is making it more difficult 427 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 1: to get the upper hand on the fire. Meantime, two 428 00:22:54,160 --> 00:23:00,399 Speaker 1: suspects now facing charges for setting that fire surprise right them. 429 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:01,160 Speaker 4: A juvenile. 430 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 1: Investigators say he deliberately set the fire of the day 431 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 1: before Halloween that burned less than a tenth of a 432 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,119 Speaker 1: square mile.

Here to discuss the importance of the TCJA 510 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 1: is the executive vice president of the National Taxpayers Union, 511 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 1: my friend Brandon Arnold. Brandon, nice to see you again, 512 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: Thanks Roy much for having me. Look if we can 513 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 1: lower if this is what I've never understood about the left, 514 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 1: I mean, you can see the cause and effect. Ronald 515 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,439 Speaker 1: Reagan did it help? John F. 516 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:31,199 Speaker 4: Kennedy did it. 517 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 1: If you lower taxes, you bring in more money. That's 518 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 1: generally how it works. You lower taxes, business ramped up, 519 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 1: people work more over time, although there might not be 520 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,479 Speaker 1: any tax and over time we'll see how that promise 521 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 1: plays out. But the point is people work harder, businesses 522 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 1: work harder. 523 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 4: More money is made. 524 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 1: If more money has made, more taxes are paid, one 525 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 1: thing happens, the next thing happens. So lowering taxes actually 526 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 1: stimulates growth in receipts to the irs. Pretty simple, try 527 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,959 Speaker 1: and true, isn't it. Yeah, I mean we saw this. 528 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:04,879 Speaker 12: We have to get in the wayback machine, look all 529 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 12: the way back to twenty seventeen and twenty eighteen. We 530 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,359 Speaker 12: passed one of the most significant tax relief bills in 531 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 12: a generation. And what did we see. The economy took off. 532 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,680 Speaker 12: Workers were working more hours and getting paid more. Businesses 533 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:21,720 Speaker 12: were succeeding at unprecedented levels. And what it also did 534 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 12: was improve our global competitiveness. We no longer had these 535 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:29,239 Speaker 12: companies inverting, moving their headquarters or other parts of the 536 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 12: company overseas to look for lower tax, more hospitable jurisdictions. Instead, 537 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 12: they were investing on the United States soil. That created jobs, 538 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,680 Speaker 12: that created economic activity, which, as you said, creates some 539 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 12: tax revenue. That's not the reason why we pass tax reform. 540 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 12: We do it to help workers, to help businesses. But 541 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 12: the added benefit that we get, of course, is more 542 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 12: tax revenue, and that allows us to not run up 543 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 12: these massive deficits and to avoid the kind of crisis 544 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 12: that we're in because Congress has spent money so irresponsibly. 545 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 1: I agree with that. So let's talk about the you know, 546 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,960 Speaker 1: the Trump tax cuts, which, as I recall the end 547 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 1: of twenty seventeen, the Democrats were targeting Donald Trump. 548 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 4: Every which way. But Sunday, as Chuck Schumer put it, right, they're. 549 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 1: Coming over and all of a sudden, almost out of 550 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 1: the blue, here came these tax cuts, enormous tax cuts, 551 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 1: and that was a real driver for the economy we 552 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 1: had until COVID hit, right, I mean, that was a 553 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 1: real driver that drove the economy forward, right absolutely. 554 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 12: I mean we saw a tremendous boost of investment. People 555 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 12: were investing more, businesses were investing in the United States. 556 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 12: Soil absolutely critical. And if I may be so bold, 557 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 12: I would say the reason why Trump just won the 558 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 12: election is because people fought back to that economy in 559 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 12: twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, that pre pandemic economy, and they 560 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 12: want to get back to that place. They want to 561 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 12: get back to a place where they're not racking up 562 00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 12: credit card debt. We're seeing credit card debt are the 563 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,960 Speaker 12: forms of household debt skyrocket. We talk a lot about 564 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,360 Speaker 12: the federal debt. We don't talk as much about the 565 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 12: debt that families are facing as they take on more 566 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 12: debt just to afford their afford their grocery bills, or 567 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 12: pay their utility bills and so forth. People are taking 568 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 12: on debt, they're beginning to default on that debt. They 569 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 12: want to get back to those good old days twenty 570 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 12: eighteen twenty nineteen, when jobs were plentiful, wages were going up, 571 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 12: and we were seeing the economy really just start to 572 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 12: take off. 573 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 1: Well, you're exactly right, And look, I just looked at 574 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 1: the numbers. 575 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 4: I think that. 576 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 1: Individual debt in America here today, If I'm not it's 577 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 1: between seventeen and eighteen trillion dollars with a t trillion 578 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 1: dollars right. The biggest drivers of debt credit. 579 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 4: Cards and car loans. 580 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 1: And while people are are making more money and they're 581 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 1: able to service that debt for the most part, we're 582 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 1: still at like eighty percent debt to income ratio. Tough 583 00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 1: place to be, the worst place been since the Great 584 00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 1: Recession of two thousand and eight. Brand And if I'm 585 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 1: not mistaken, so we've got this tremendous consumer debt. We've 586 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,120 Speaker 1: got national debt of thirty five trillion dollars, which has 587 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,400 Speaker 1: to be addressed us. So you can't ignore it forever 588 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 1: because that'll come back and haunt us all. What do 589 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 1: you want to see from this administration for fiscal policy, 590 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 1: for policies, addressing debt, for policies, addressing tax levels. Thank god, 591 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 1: we're not going to be seeing tax on unrealized gains. 592 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 4: We've got that going for us. But what is it 593 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 4: you would like to see? 594 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean, we need to preserve the gains that 595 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 12: we made in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 596 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 12: twenty seventeen. That's first and foremost. As you noted from 597 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,160 Speaker 12: the outset, the majority of that tax package is going 598 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 12: to expire at the end of twenty twenty five, so 599 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 12: we need to lock that in. That means keeping individual 600 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 12: tax rates low, that larger child tax credit, the standard 601 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 12: deduction doubling, which meant that a lot of people now 602 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 12: file their taxes using the standard deduction rather than itemizing 603 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 12: a lot of taxlicity as roll as lower taxes. But 604 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 12: we also need to be mind that we can't keep 605 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:04,640 Speaker 12: spending in this direction, putting those additional debt dollars on 606 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 12: the backs of our children and grandchildren. Is morally wrong. 607 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 12: So we need to start taking on the debt too. 608 00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 12: And now that we have a president that wants to 609 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,800 Speaker 12: address the debt, of Congress that wants to address the debt, 610 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:16,680 Speaker 12: they need to actually roll up their sleeves and put 611 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,360 Speaker 12: their money where their mouth is. That starts with a commission. 612 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 12: I know we've talked about one with Elon Musk leading 613 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 12: the charge. That's very exciting news, but there's a lot 614 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 12: more that needs to be done. We need to roll 615 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 12: up our sleeves start cutting the debt. If we do that, 616 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 12: not only what we see an improvement in our overall 617 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,800 Speaker 12: debt picture, I think that will put a downward pressure 618 00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 12: on inflation. Coupled with good investment oriented tax reform, I 619 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 12: think we'll start getting those inflation numbers back to where 620 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:44,280 Speaker 12: they were before the pandemic. 621 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,800 Speaker 1: And you want to touch on one thing, Yeah, I 622 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 1: want to touch on one thing before I let you 623 00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 1: go here today, Brandon. That is, we have, according to 624 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 1: everything that I see and read, about a trillion dollars 625 00:32:56,080 --> 00:33:01,640 Speaker 1: of unspent COVID stimulus money hanging out there. The COVID's done, 626 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 1: we have twenty dollars. It hasn't been spent and you 627 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 1: know how government works. 628 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:05,840 Speaker 4: Oh, we got to spend them. 629 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 1: We gotta get I hope that Donald Trump, Elon Muggs, 630 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,120 Speaker 1: the Vectoramaswami, whoever, can stop that money from going on 631 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,760 Speaker 1: through and saying wait a second, we're not going to 632 00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 1: spend all this money on your little peck projects. We're 633 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,440 Speaker 1: going to haul that trillion dollars back in and say look, 634 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 1: we can't do this and save the American taxpayer from 635 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:27,160 Speaker 1: spending money. 636 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,040 Speaker 4: That should not be spent. I'll give you the last word. 637 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,880 Speaker 12: Yeah, it should be easy. It's never easy, but it 638 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 12: ought to be easy when we gave hundreds of billions 639 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 12: of dollars to state and local governments. Some of them 640 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 12: use them for reputable things, but a lot of people 641 00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 12: were used a lot of these jurisdictions. We're using them 642 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,800 Speaker 12: for pickleball courts and other ridiculous items. We can't allow 643 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:49,360 Speaker 12: that to happen. We need to protect taxpayer dollars, use 644 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 12: it more judiciously. Bring those dollars back. Let's use that 645 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:56,520 Speaker 12: to pay for tax relief, permanent tax relief at all possible, 646 00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 12: and let's run this government a little bit more efficiently 647 00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,280 Speaker 12: than it's been done. I think we can do that. 648 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,880 Speaker 12: It's a tough job, but I think the Trump and 649 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:05,760 Speaker 12: the Congress are up to the task. 650 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,879 Speaker 4: They better be, all right. 651 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:13,960 Speaker 1: Brandon Arnold, President the National Taxpayers Union, Brandon, always good 652 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 1: to see you, my friend, Thank you. 653 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,480 Speaker 4: My pleasure, thanks a lot, all right Now. 654 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 1: For more than ten years, Patriot Mobile has been America 655 00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:24,040 Speaker 1: is only Christian conservative wireless provider standing behind. 656 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:25,880 Speaker 4: Their service and their value as a company. 657 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,400 Speaker 1: They're an example putting the cause ahead of profits.

All right, after a quick break, 678 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,720 Speaker 1: I'll be discussing a great way to diversify a secure 679 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,200 Speaker 1: all your extra money you'll be saving under a Trump administration. 680 00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:48,200 Speaker 4: That's right, it's fight ahead. 681 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:59,560 Speaker 1: As we just discussed, taxpayers could see some great benefit 682 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,120 Speaker 1: under a t Up administration. But we still have over 683 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,200 Speaker 1: two months to go into the current administration, and there's 684 00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,600 Speaker 1: no doubt pushback will be coming from the left. Here'll 685 00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,760 Speaker 1: be to discuss what could be on the horizon. Precious 686 00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:12,560 Speaker 1: metal specialist at Bert's Gold. 687 00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:14,359 Speaker 4: Philip Patrick. Philip, nice to see you here. 688 00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,719 Speaker 1: Today, Thank you and nice see you. 689 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,120 Speaker 4: Look here here's the problem. 690 00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,480 Speaker 1: We still have thirty five almost thirty six trillion dollars 691 00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:24,879 Speaker 1: of debt. We don't have some magic wand that can 692 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,920 Speaker 1: make that go away. We still have challenges with inflation, 693 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:31,000 Speaker 1: We have challenges with we just talked about consumer debt 694 00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:34,440 Speaker 1: is eighteen trillion dollars. I mean, when you look at 695 00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:37,799 Speaker 1: all of this gold reached to all time highs, it 696 00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:42,000 Speaker 1: it's moderated some. But everybody I'm talking to Philip says, yeah, 697 00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:43,799 Speaker 1: it's going to moderate some, a little bit of sell off, 698 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:45,480 Speaker 1: and then it's going to resume where it's. 699 00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:48,560 Speaker 4: Always gone, which is up. What do you think is coming? 700 00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,960 Speaker 5: I mean, I agree demon Lee obviously very excited for 701 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:57,560 Speaker 5: a Trump victory, but this isn't you know Trump in 702 00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:01,680 Speaker 5: twenty sixteen. He's walking into a very different economy. He's 703 00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:05,319 Speaker 5: going to be facing roadblocks from the Democratic Party, I think, 704 00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:10,200 Speaker 5: bureaucratic inertia, red tape, you know, fighting the deep state, 705 00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:14,080 Speaker 5: and of course the bigger issues are the big economic 706 00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:17,840 Speaker 5: problems that he's inheriting one point two trillion dollars of 707 00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:21,239 Speaker 5: debt service on an annual basis. I think it's going 708 00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:25,320 Speaker 5: to be very difficult for the administration to curb spending. 709 00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:28,960 Speaker 5: So there's some real challenges, and you know, the fundamentals 710 00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,680 Speaker 5: are no different today than they were a week ago. 711 00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:35,080 Speaker 5: We have better leadership, but it is a long term 712 00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:38,000 Speaker 5: plan to get out of this mess. The one encouraging 713 00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:40,960 Speaker 5: thing is at least we're not being gas lit anymore 714 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,719 Speaker 5: by the administration. They're telling us it's going to be 715 00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,600 Speaker 5: a rough road to getting on a better path. 716 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:49,319 Speaker 4: Well, and that's exactly true. 717 00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,400 Speaker 1: And look, you and I have talked about this before, 718 00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,400 Speaker 1: and I have been of the opinion for a while, 719 00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:56,520 Speaker 1: and I'm not here to be, you know, a doom 720 00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:58,640 Speaker 1: and gloom guy, but I've bet out of the opinion 721 00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,000 Speaker 1: for a while now reading a variety of sources that 722 00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:03,959 Speaker 1: come mid twenty twenty five or late twenty twenty five, 723 00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,680 Speaker 1: what are these bubbles is going to blow? And what 724 00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:08,120 Speaker 1: it does is going to be a correction in the 725 00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,160 Speaker 1: stock market. Stock mark's been great, it's been off the hook, 726 00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:13,120 Speaker 1: setting records as well, but that doesn't last forever. Sometimes 727 00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:14,799 Speaker 1: that ride comes to an end and it could be 728 00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,759 Speaker 1: a rough landing. And that's why I personally invest in 729 00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,400 Speaker 1: gold and silver because I don't want to be destroyed. 730 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:24,240 Speaker 1: And have you know my my market portfolio by ten percent, 731 00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:25,560 Speaker 1: thirty percent? 732 00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:26,160 Speaker 4: Who knows? 733 00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:29,000 Speaker 1: Right? You just never know, do you? 734 00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,680 Speaker 5: No, You're you're absolutely correct, And that's the idea with 735 00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:35,120 Speaker 5: precious metals. It's about making sure we have a hedge 736 00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:37,680 Speaker 5: for the climate in front of us. And when the 737 00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:41,080 Speaker 5: problems are things like inflation which is going up again, 738 00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:44,920 Speaker 5: like devaluation of the dollar which is continuing, you know, 739 00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:48,239 Speaker 5: these problems are not going to disappear overnight. 740 00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:49,799 Speaker 1: It doesn't work that way. 741 00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:53,040 Speaker 5: Listen to Elon Musk, right, he's been telling us that 742 00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:56,920 Speaker 5: there is going to be hardship under his leadership as 743 00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:00,759 Speaker 5: a result of efforts to stabilize the national debt. It's 744 00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,879 Speaker 5: what we've needed to do for a long time, take 745 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,160 Speaker 5: some short term pain for longer term gain. And we've 746 00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:10,560 Speaker 5: had Democrats doing the opposite for so long, putting money 747 00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,319 Speaker 5: in people's hands, you know, making things good in the 748 00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:17,680 Speaker 5: shorter term, but creating an unsolvable debt problem. So now's 749 00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:21,960 Speaker 5: the time to go through some hardship. It is long overdue, 750 00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:23,759 Speaker 5: but it's the only way we. 751 00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:24,799 Speaker 1: Get through this mess. 752 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:28,800 Speaker 5: And at least we have an administration no longer gaslighting us. 753 00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,480 Speaker 1: And when Elon muss says we're going to face hardships, 754 00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:34,960 Speaker 1: I would take him at his word. 755 00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:36,160 Speaker 4: Now here's the real question. 756 00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:38,640 Speaker 1: How can everyday Americans make sure the savings that they 757 00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:41,120 Speaker 1: have can be secured from the long run. 758 00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:45,160 Speaker 5: Look, I think we've touched on some good ideas already. 759 00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,880 Speaker 5: We need to start diversifying and making sure that we 760 00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:53,000 Speaker 5: have portions of our portfolio that are geared to grow 761 00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,359 Speaker 5: in the climate in front of us. So I think 762 00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:58,400 Speaker 5: everybody needs to reach out get the information as they 763 00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:00,160 Speaker 5: can see in front of me. All they have to 764 00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:03,560 Speaker 5: do is text America to ninety eight ninety eight ninety eight. 765 00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:07,120 Speaker 5: That will give them access to the information. Start there, 766 00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:09,400 Speaker 5: and I think the more we learn, the more we 767 00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:12,560 Speaker 5: understand the problems, the easier this decision will be. 768 00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:15,600 Speaker 4: Billip, I completely agree with you. 769 00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:17,880 Speaker 1: By the way, text word America to the number he 770 00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,759 Speaker 1: just said, ninety eight ninety eight ninety eight.

It's time for a story to remind 792 00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:24,440 Speaker 1: us of just how wonderful America is. We do it 793 00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:26,600 Speaker 1: every day here in the program because I want to 794 00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:29,319 Speaker 1: leave you with a smile on your face every single day. 795 00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:31,840 Speaker 1: So today we take a look at a Georgia homeowner 796 00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:35,200 Speaker 1: who was saved from his burning house just last month 797 00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:37,799 Speaker 1: by a good samaritan who kicked down the storm door 798 00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:41,400 Speaker 1: and helped him the safety you see. David McCall reported 799 00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:43,959 Speaker 1: that he was taking a nap in his Winterville home 800 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,399 Speaker 1: one afternoon when a noise from the kitchen will came up. 801 00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:49,959 Speaker 1: Within a few moments, the fire alarm was going off, 802 00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,680 Speaker 1: causing David a spring out of bed, only to find 803 00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:56,600 Speaker 1: thick smoke had filled his home. He stated that he 804 00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:58,759 Speaker 1: tried to exit the house to his front door, but 805 00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,719 Speaker 1: found the storm door alone. Decided to check the back, 806 00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:03,960 Speaker 1: where he found himself lost in the smoke. He was 807 00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:08,520 Speaker 1: confused and disoriented. Dylan Batt's, a good Samaritan, was driving 808 00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:11,680 Speaker 1: on his way home from work. He stopped when he 809 00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:15,400 Speaker 1: saw the smoke raced in to help. Dylan then kicked 810 00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:18,200 Speaker 1: down the storm door and stepped inside the home through 811 00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,040 Speaker 1: a thick wall of black smoke and called out. David 812 00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,440 Speaker 1: heard his voice and came right to him after a 813 00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:27,640 Speaker 1: few minutes. When the outlet asked Dylan why he risked 814 00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:31,000 Speaker 1: his life to save a stranger, he responded, why not. 815 00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:36,600 Speaker 1: It's America. David said that his family calls Dylan our hero. 816 00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:40,120 Speaker 1: Even gave Betts tickets to a Georgia Tennessee football game 817 00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:42,560 Speaker 1: as a small thank you for saving us life. You 818 00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:46,359 Speaker 1: know what makes America wonderful the heroic actions of good 819 00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:49,120 Speaker 1: Samaritans who will do anything, risk their own lives to 820 00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:52,920 Speaker 1: save a stranger. Because you know what that is America? 821 00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:55,279 Speaker 4: All right? 822 00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:58,160 Speaker 1: Your question of the day, what are your thoughts on 823 00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:02,600 Speaker 1: President Trump's cabinet selections? So Mike Horger the left is 824 00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:07,320 Speaker 1: melting over every pick, so I am loving them. Susan Brumbaugh, 825 00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:10,960 Speaker 1: it's pretty great so far. Jenna Crumley writes this. I 826 00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:17,360 Speaker 1: think it's great, clean house day one. Don Raley shares this. 827 00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:20,759 Speaker 1: Love most of them. Rubio worries me. He's part of 828 00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:24,440 Speaker 1: the establishment. We'll see how it works out. Pat Downing 829 00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:27,839 Speaker 1: rights love all of them except Gates. He may have 830 00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:30,600 Speaker 1: too many skeleton in the closet. We might find out 831 00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:34,240 Speaker 1: on that on Friday. By the way, this ethics report 832 00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:38,120 Speaker 1: apparently is going to be released on Matt Gates, and 833 00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:41,919 Speaker 1: from everything I'm reading here, it's not particularly flattering. We'll 834 00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:44,160 Speaker 1: have to wait to see what's in it. That's from 835 00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:47,759 Speaker 1: pat Downing. By the way, Grandma's Tammy it's good, but 836 00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:48,560 Speaker 1: still got an. 837 00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:52,200 Speaker 4: Eye on thuone. I pray's true. I agree with you 838 00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:52,520 Speaker 4: on that. 839 00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:57,560 Speaker 1: Christopher Lynn writes, Gates and Rubio has picked. Surprised me.
