1 00:00:11,697 --> 00:00:14,977 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast, make sure 2 00:00:14,977 --> 00:00:17,977 Speaker 1: you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app or 3 00:00:18,017 --> 00:00:21,137 Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts. It's the art of the 4 00:00:21,177 --> 00:00:25,177 Speaker 1: deal on a global stage, my friends, Donald Trump showing 5 00:00:25,217 --> 00:00:29,617 Speaker 1: people how it's done. Market surging today all of a sudden, 6 00:00:29,697 --> 00:00:33,817 Speaker 1: the doubters and the haters and the losers are feeling 7 00:00:34,657 --> 00:00:38,337 Speaker 1: like maybe once again they counted Trump out when he 8 00:00:38,537 --> 00:00:42,217 Speaker 1: was just getting started. So what do I have for you? 9 00:00:42,937 --> 00:00:46,817 Speaker 1: First of all, the big news of today, other than 10 00:00:46,857 --> 00:00:48,937 Speaker 1: the fact that I'm going into the hospital to become 11 00:00:48,977 --> 00:00:50,897 Speaker 1: a dad for the first time, which we'll talk about later, 12 00:00:51,537 --> 00:00:54,097 Speaker 1: big news of the day is the Dow a Dow 13 00:00:54,177 --> 00:00:58,137 Speaker 1: Jones up twenty eight hundred points as I am talking 14 00:00:58,137 --> 00:01:02,097 Speaker 1: to you right now. That is up seven percent overall, 15 00:01:02,297 --> 00:01:06,697 Speaker 1: which is a huge bomp, a huge surge in things, 16 00:01:07,337 --> 00:01:11,697 Speaker 1: and it's looking good. My friends. Here's why it all 17 00:01:11,737 --> 00:01:14,537 Speaker 1: makes sense when you break it down, because Trump has 18 00:01:14,617 --> 00:01:18,617 Speaker 1: paused the tariffs for ninety days, the major tariffs for 19 00:01:18,697 --> 00:01:21,337 Speaker 1: ninety days against most countries. It's going to be kind 20 00:01:21,337 --> 00:01:24,057 Speaker 1: of a ten percent baseline tariff that he wants to keep, 21 00:01:24,097 --> 00:01:28,737 Speaker 1: but ninety day tariff pause for most countries, although China, 22 00:01:28,777 --> 00:01:33,577 Speaker 1: he says, is going to have to learn what's up, 23 00:01:34,137 --> 00:01:37,577 Speaker 1: and that's from well, that's what he talks about here, 24 00:01:37,617 --> 00:01:40,977 Speaker 1: because of the lack of respect that China has had. 25 00:01:41,017 --> 00:01:43,977 Speaker 1: This is Trump on true social lack of respect China 26 00:01:44,017 --> 00:01:46,097 Speaker 1: has shown to the world markets. I am raising the 27 00:01:46,137 --> 00:01:49,177 Speaker 1: tariff charge to China by the United States of America 28 00:01:49,217 --> 00:01:52,737 Speaker 1: at one hundred and twenty five percent effective immediately. At 29 00:01:52,737 --> 00:01:55,257 Speaker 1: some point, hopefully the near future, China will realize that 30 00:01:55,337 --> 00:01:59,257 Speaker 1: the days of ripping off the USA and other countries 31 00:01:59,297 --> 00:02:02,257 Speaker 1: is no longer sustainable or acceptable. So what this is 32 00:02:02,297 --> 00:02:07,297 Speaker 1: turning into is a art of the deal extraordinaire, where 33 00:02:07,337 --> 00:02:12,057 Speaker 1: you have all these different countries looking to reorient their 34 00:02:12,097 --> 00:02:16,097 Speaker 1: trade agreements now with the United States, allies like South 35 00:02:16,177 --> 00:02:18,937 Speaker 1: Korea and Japan, We're going to figure out a way 36 00:02:18,937 --> 00:02:22,137 Speaker 1: to do business with them so that it benefits all parties, 37 00:02:22,137 --> 00:02:24,977 Speaker 1: and everything's going to be good. But China is going 38 00:02:25,057 --> 00:02:28,097 Speaker 1: to have to figure a new way forward. They're not 39 00:02:28,177 --> 00:02:30,617 Speaker 1: going to be able to continue the same kind of 40 00:02:30,617 --> 00:02:34,457 Speaker 1: shenanigans that they've gotten away with in the past. And 41 00:02:34,937 --> 00:02:37,057 Speaker 1: that makes a whole heck of a lot of sense 42 00:02:37,057 --> 00:02:40,457 Speaker 1: to me. You know, it's really you have to separate 43 00:02:40,537 --> 00:02:44,457 Speaker 1: out even with trade allies and enemies. You know, we 44 00:02:44,497 --> 00:02:47,257 Speaker 1: think of allies and enemies in a national security context. 45 00:02:47,657 --> 00:02:50,697 Speaker 1: But the United Kingdom, we're not worried about the United 46 00:02:50,777 --> 00:02:56,177 Speaker 1: Kingdom trying to invade the United States, subvert and overthrow 47 00:02:56,217 --> 00:03:01,217 Speaker 1: our system of government. We don't view them as a competitor. 48 00:03:01,257 --> 00:03:03,977 Speaker 1: We view them as a friend on the world stage. 49 00:03:04,137 --> 00:03:07,217 Speaker 1: True of a lot of other countries too, too, Canada, France, 50 00:03:07,297 --> 00:03:10,897 Speaker 1: and New Zealand. I mean, these are countries that we 51 00:03:11,017 --> 00:03:15,057 Speaker 1: know see the world largely in this in least the 52 00:03:15,097 --> 00:03:17,537 Speaker 1: most basic ways, the same way that we do. In 53 00:03:17,537 --> 00:03:19,057 Speaker 1: the case of some of them, we even share a 54 00:03:19,057 --> 00:03:22,097 Speaker 1: common language. Not France, Spain, Germany. Those are great countries 55 00:03:22,097 --> 00:03:24,417 Speaker 1: as well that we have a good relationship with sound 56 00:03:24,457 --> 00:03:27,817 Speaker 1: like Trump, very good relationship with them. But when you 57 00:03:27,857 --> 00:03:30,537 Speaker 1: look at China, the considerations are more than just who 58 00:03:30,617 --> 00:03:33,417 Speaker 1: can make the cheapest stuff the fastest. And that's what 59 00:03:33,497 --> 00:03:37,057 Speaker 1: I think really comes to the forefront here. China has 60 00:03:37,137 --> 00:03:39,297 Speaker 1: been when people say, oh, they're not ripping us off, 61 00:03:39,297 --> 00:03:42,377 Speaker 1: they make this stuff, we buy this stuff, everybody wins. Well, 62 00:03:42,377 --> 00:03:45,937 Speaker 1: hold on a second, if that's true, what about all 63 00:03:45,937 --> 00:03:49,857 Speaker 1: the intellectual property theft, as in stealing our tech and 64 00:03:49,857 --> 00:03:53,417 Speaker 1: then making stuff with that tech that then they make 65 00:03:53,657 --> 00:03:57,417 Speaker 1: with state subsidy much cheaper than what we can make 66 00:03:57,457 --> 00:04:00,217 Speaker 1: it with because they've taken the secret sauce. If you will, 67 00:04:01,097 --> 00:04:04,057 Speaker 1: why do we have intellectual property protections in this country 68 00:04:05,297 --> 00:04:09,257 Speaker 1: if it doesn't matter, Well, obviously, because we're trying to 69 00:04:09,337 --> 00:04:14,097 Speaker 1: establish rule of the road that will encourage more research 70 00:04:14,137 --> 00:04:18,057 Speaker 1: and development, that will encourage more intellectual property discovery, and 71 00:04:18,497 --> 00:04:21,737 Speaker 1: China just violates that. This is one example. China just 72 00:04:21,817 --> 00:04:24,337 Speaker 1: rips off our stuff and then makes it. And you say, well, 73 00:04:24,337 --> 00:04:26,457 Speaker 1: hold on a second, why is that fair? It's not, 74 00:04:27,017 --> 00:04:29,137 Speaker 1: And they've agreed not to do that, and they are 75 00:04:29,257 --> 00:04:34,457 Speaker 1: breaking their word time and again. China has gotten very 76 00:04:34,937 --> 00:04:38,537 Speaker 1: wealthy as a country, and it has done so with 77 00:04:38,617 --> 00:04:41,577 Speaker 1: a lot of tariffs in place. Now you could say 78 00:04:41,577 --> 00:04:44,417 Speaker 1: that they'd be wealthier without the tariffs, but I think 79 00:04:44,457 --> 00:04:47,537 Speaker 1: the Chinese have a pretty good sense of what their 80 00:04:47,537 --> 00:04:51,977 Speaker 1: best interests are because they do pursue often a zero 81 00:04:52,097 --> 00:04:54,657 Speaker 1: sum game. They pursue their interest at the expense of 82 00:04:54,697 --> 00:04:57,137 Speaker 1: everybody else. So it would seem to me to be 83 00:04:57,217 --> 00:05:01,737 Speaker 1: quite presumptuous for anyone to think that they know better 84 00:05:01,777 --> 00:05:06,257 Speaker 1: than Cheshin paying what is going to help the Chinese 85 00:05:06,777 --> 00:05:13,377 Speaker 1: strategic vision of economic and events military dominance. You know, Oh, 86 00:05:13,457 --> 00:05:16,337 Speaker 1: they don't know what's good for them. That's very rarely. 87 00:05:16,417 --> 00:05:18,937 Speaker 1: Is that an argument that I think you'll see winning 88 00:05:19,017 --> 00:05:23,257 Speaker 1: the day when you're talking about major power conflicts, that 89 00:05:23,297 --> 00:05:25,217 Speaker 1: we know better than they do. It's not that countries 90 00:05:25,217 --> 00:05:28,017 Speaker 1: don't make mistakes about their interests, but assuming that we 91 00:05:28,097 --> 00:05:31,617 Speaker 1: somehow have just a better pathway than they do. China 92 00:05:31,697 --> 00:05:36,137 Speaker 1: has gone from a GDP per capita in the hundreds 93 00:05:36,177 --> 00:05:38,817 Speaker 1: to now in like the fifteen thousand dollars range in 94 00:05:38,857 --> 00:05:41,857 Speaker 1: a pretty short period of time. So they have become 95 00:05:41,977 --> 00:05:46,137 Speaker 1: dramatically wealthier as a country. And yes, they've made a 96 00:05:46,177 --> 00:05:49,217 Speaker 1: lot of stuff and they've a massive workforce, but they've 97 00:05:49,257 --> 00:05:51,897 Speaker 1: also been doing it at the expense of a lot 98 00:05:51,937 --> 00:05:56,697 Speaker 1: of other countries competing in the markets. Israeli citizens look 99 00:05:56,777 --> 00:05:58,897 Speaker 1: for the return of normalcy in their country. It's hard 100 00:05:58,897 --> 00:06:02,137 Speaker 1: to do when there's seaspar negotiations happening, when there's increased 101 00:06:02,137 --> 00:06:05,377 Speaker 1: tensions between Hamas and the IDF forces. Nearly eighteen months 102 00:06:05,417 --> 00:06:07,817 Speaker 1: after the Hamas invasion and brutal attack, life is not 103 00:06:07,937 --> 00:06:10,617 Speaker 1: normal for everyone in Israel. As israelis work hard to 104 00:06:10,617 --> 00:06:13,417 Speaker 1: return to a life of normalcy, the International Fellowship of 105 00:06:13,497 --> 00:06:15,777 Speaker 1: Christians and Jews has continued to support those in the 106 00:06:15,817 --> 00:06:18,817 Speaker 1: Holy Land facing the lingering horrors of war and those 107 00:06:18,857 --> 00:06:21,697 Speaker 1: who are in desperate need. Your ongoing monthly gift of 108 00:06:21,737 --> 00:06:24,457 Speaker 1: forty five dollars will provide critically needed aid to communities 109 00:06:24,457 --> 00:06:27,057 Speaker 1: in the North and South parts of Israel devastated by 110 00:06:27,057 --> 00:06:30,097 Speaker 1: the ongoing war. Your generous donation each month will help 111 00:06:30,137 --> 00:06:32,617 Speaker 1: deliver to those in need. You can provide hope during 112 00:06:32,617 --> 00:06:35,537 Speaker 1: a time of great uncertainty with your gift. Bless Israel 113 00:06:35,577 --> 00:06:39,297 Speaker 1: and her people by visiting SUPPORTIFCJ dot org. That's one 114 00:06:39,297 --> 00:06:42,297 Speaker 1: word support, IFCJ dot org. We're called eighty eight four 115 00:06:42,377 --> 00:06:46,377 Speaker 1: eight eight IFCJ. That's eight eight eight four eight eight IFCJ. 116 00:06:46,857 --> 00:06:49,057 Speaker 1: The nature of competition, I think this is, you know, 117 00:06:49,417 --> 00:06:51,737 Speaker 1: in competition, there have to be winners and losers in 118 00:06:51,737 --> 00:06:55,417 Speaker 1: some ways. Right now, there can be competition that is friendly, 119 00:06:55,457 --> 00:06:58,417 Speaker 1: and there could be competition that is a winner take 120 00:06:58,497 --> 00:07:02,177 Speaker 1: all or ultra high stakes. We know there's differences even 121 00:07:02,217 --> 00:07:06,457 Speaker 1: among competition, but you know this notion that everybody wins 122 00:07:06,497 --> 00:07:09,977 Speaker 1: there's no downside in trade with China. Is just that 123 00:07:10,057 --> 00:07:13,657 Speaker 1: that's a fallacy. That's impossible. There's no way that that's 124 00:07:13,697 --> 00:07:16,497 Speaker 1: the case, because why would China then not just do 125 00:07:16,617 --> 00:07:19,897 Speaker 1: what we want them to do and have no trade 126 00:07:19,897 --> 00:07:22,657 Speaker 1: barriers and play by wto rules. As I've been saying, 127 00:07:22,817 --> 00:07:25,097 Speaker 1: If China is in the World Trade Organization and part 128 00:07:25,137 --> 00:07:29,577 Speaker 1: of that is agreeing to operate its businesses and its 129 00:07:29,617 --> 00:07:32,857 Speaker 1: economy in a certain way, why not just do that 130 00:07:33,377 --> 00:07:36,177 Speaker 1: if they didn't get some advantage from breaking those rules. 131 00:07:37,057 --> 00:07:39,417 Speaker 1: You can just apply logic to this and see that 132 00:07:39,537 --> 00:07:43,777 Speaker 1: the free trade religion that a lot of people espouse 133 00:07:43,977 --> 00:07:47,337 Speaker 1: is divorced from the reality of what's actually happening in 134 00:07:47,377 --> 00:07:50,457 Speaker 1: a lot of these places. So I think that the 135 00:07:50,617 --> 00:07:53,577 Speaker 1: ninety day pause from Trump is a good thing. Very 136 00:07:53,657 --> 00:07:58,577 Speaker 1: encouraged by this, and I think that the market reaction 137 00:07:58,657 --> 00:08:01,897 Speaker 1: to it shows you that they the market wants stability. 138 00:08:02,297 --> 00:08:06,257 Speaker 1: The market wants a sense that what's going on here 139 00:08:06,577 --> 00:08:09,137 Speaker 1: is following some kind of a plan and a strategy. 140 00:08:09,257 --> 00:08:12,377 Speaker 1: And I think the Trump's strategy here has been brilliant. 141 00:08:12,617 --> 00:08:16,297 Speaker 1: He had to convince the world that he was willing 142 00:08:16,377 --> 00:08:18,497 Speaker 1: to go to the mat on this. You know, you've 143 00:08:18,537 --> 00:08:21,537 Speaker 1: got to to have leverage. People have to believe you're 144 00:08:21,537 --> 00:08:25,457 Speaker 1: willing to pull the lever that if you do X, 145 00:08:25,577 --> 00:08:28,297 Speaker 1: I do Y, if you do wid Z, they have 146 00:08:28,377 --> 00:08:30,337 Speaker 1: to think that that's real. If they figure that it's 147 00:08:30,377 --> 00:08:34,497 Speaker 1: all bluster, nothing changes. So he had to be willing 148 00:08:35,057 --> 00:08:39,657 Speaker 1: to get some rattled markets going or else. Everybody with 149 00:08:39,697 --> 00:08:42,177 Speaker 1: thought it was just bluster. But now that bluster has 150 00:08:42,217 --> 00:08:44,977 Speaker 1: turned into Okay, okay, you're serious. Let's talk this thing 151 00:08:45,097 --> 00:08:48,857 Speaker 1: through with our allies, and then with China. It's China, 152 00:08:48,897 --> 00:08:51,497 Speaker 1: no more free paths view on this stuff, and look, 153 00:08:51,537 --> 00:08:55,617 Speaker 1: is that going to result in some economic dislocation in 154 00:08:55,657 --> 00:08:58,097 Speaker 1: the meantime? That could mean that things get more expensive, 155 00:08:58,457 --> 00:09:00,657 Speaker 1: some consumer goods get more expensive for example. Yeah, I 156 00:09:00,697 --> 00:09:03,977 Speaker 1: think so this is not going to be pain free. 157 00:09:04,257 --> 00:09:07,017 Speaker 1: But as long as it makes sense, there's a strategy 158 00:09:07,057 --> 00:09:09,857 Speaker 1: and there's an endgame that we can see in that 159 00:09:09,857 --> 00:09:12,057 Speaker 1: the market can see, I think it's all going to 160 00:09:12,177 --> 00:09:15,457 Speaker 1: be fine. And I have never lost faith in Trump 161 00:09:15,537 --> 00:09:17,577 Speaker 1: on this. I have said it on the radio show. 162 00:09:17,617 --> 00:09:19,937 Speaker 1: I said it just earlier today before the Good News 163 00:09:19,937 --> 00:09:23,977 Speaker 1: broke about the ninety day pause. I said, I am 164 00:09:24,057 --> 00:09:25,857 Speaker 1: right or die with Trump on this one. I see 165 00:09:25,897 --> 00:09:27,857 Speaker 1: what he's trying to do. It makes sense to me. 166 00:09:28,417 --> 00:09:30,697 Speaker 1: He was right in his first term when everybody else 167 00:09:30,737 --> 00:09:33,777 Speaker 1: was wrong on the US Mexico Canada agreement. When I 168 00:09:33,817 --> 00:09:36,777 Speaker 1: see everybody, I mean the so called consensus out of DC, 169 00:09:37,297 --> 00:09:39,257 Speaker 1: and he was willing to take the heat and get 170 00:09:39,337 --> 00:09:44,497 Speaker 1: to a place of real change and positive change, you know, 171 00:09:44,577 --> 00:09:47,697 Speaker 1: to make things, to fix things. You can't do things 172 00:09:47,737 --> 00:09:51,097 Speaker 1: the same way. To alter the status quo, you can't 173 00:09:51,097 --> 00:09:54,177 Speaker 1: do business as usual. This is a tautology. It's very obvious, 174 00:09:54,217 --> 00:09:57,377 Speaker 1: but a lot of it's sort of like politicians who 175 00:09:57,417 --> 00:10:00,177 Speaker 1: actually keep their word. Is a revolutionary idea, Well, it 176 00:10:00,177 --> 00:10:03,017 Speaker 1: should be the most obvious thing, but in fact that 177 00:10:03,137 --> 00:10:05,857 Speaker 1: is not the case because of the habit that we've 178 00:10:05,857 --> 00:10:07,737 Speaker 1: gotten into. And I think the habit we've gotten into 179 00:10:07,777 --> 00:10:09,857 Speaker 1: with our economy is the way things are is the 180 00:10:09,897 --> 00:10:12,097 Speaker 1: way things they always must be. We have to spend 181 00:10:12,097 --> 00:10:14,417 Speaker 1: too much, we have to be at the mercy of 182 00:10:14,577 --> 00:10:18,337 Speaker 1: other countries trade policies with regard to our industry and 183 00:10:18,377 --> 00:10:22,017 Speaker 1: our national security concerns. And Trump is changing that, and 184 00:10:22,297 --> 00:10:25,857 Speaker 1: I think it's a very very good thing. You know, 185 00:10:26,657 --> 00:10:29,577 Speaker 1: it's also a very good thing to look to the 186 00:10:29,577 --> 00:10:33,777 Speaker 1: future and take action. Now. Look at the price of gold, Okay, 187 00:10:33,817 --> 00:10:36,497 Speaker 1: if you want to create some stability for yourself owning 188 00:10:36,537 --> 00:10:39,337 Speaker 1: some gold when you see it, Yes, I know it's 189 00:10:39,937 --> 00:10:42,577 Speaker 1: hitting all time highs lately, but there's a reason for that, 190 00:10:42,817 --> 00:10:45,777 Speaker 1: the trajectory of gold over the last thirty years. Look 191 00:10:45,817 --> 00:10:48,617 Speaker 1: at it, Look at that price line, look at what's happening. 192 00:10:49,177 --> 00:10:51,497 Speaker 1: Gold is good, it is solid. It as a store 193 00:10:51,497 --> 00:10:54,337 Speaker 1: of value. And Birch Gold Group is who I turn 194 00:10:54,457 --> 00:10:57,337 Speaker 1: to for my gold. That's who you should use as well. 195 00:10:57,617 --> 00:11:00,817 Speaker 1: They've helped tens of thousands of people convert an existing 196 00:11:00,857 --> 00:11:03,377 Speaker 1: IRA or four to one k into an IRA and 197 00:11:03,377 --> 00:11:05,097 Speaker 1: physical gold. That's a great thing to do. If you've 198 00:11:05,097 --> 00:11:07,857 Speaker 1: got an IRA sitting around, you know, not a ton 199 00:11:07,897 --> 00:11:09,737 Speaker 1: of money in it, but you'd like to see it 200 00:11:10,097 --> 00:11:12,177 Speaker 1: maintain value and grow over time and you can just 201 00:11:12,217 --> 00:11:15,937 Speaker 1: set it and forget it. That's where converting that IRA 202 00:11:16,057 --> 00:11:18,377 Speaker 1: or four one k into a physical gold IRA makes 203 00:11:18,417 --> 00:11:21,937 Speaker 1: so much sense. Also, you can just buy physical gold, 204 00:11:21,977 --> 00:11:24,857 Speaker 1: as I did recently. You can buy gold coins, gold bars, 205 00:11:25,257 --> 00:11:27,377 Speaker 1: have it delivered right your home.

Now. 216 00:11:57,417 --> 00:11:58,937 Speaker 1: I think the price of gold is only going up. 217 00:11:59,737 --> 00:12:02,457 Speaker 1: Just look at look at a chart of gold. They 218 00:12:02,497 --> 00:12:05,297 Speaker 1: can't they can't just print gold, right, I mean, you 219 00:12:05,337 --> 00:12:08,377 Speaker 1: have to mine it. There's a reason why gold historically 220 00:12:08,417 --> 00:12:11,817 Speaker 1: has been a store of value. So I would go 221 00:12:11,937 --> 00:12:14,457 Speaker 1: check that out for yourself. Today. Something else that got 222 00:12:14,457 --> 00:12:17,817 Speaker 1: my attention, and it is something that is unsurprising to 223 00:12:17,857 --> 00:12:20,857 Speaker 1: me but still galling to see it. The acting head 224 00:12:20,857 --> 00:12:26,497 Speaker 1: of the IRS resigning because the Trump administration is mandating 225 00:12:26,617 --> 00:12:30,217 Speaker 1: sharing of IRIS information for the purposes of immigration enforcement. 226 00:12:30,577 --> 00:12:33,857 Speaker 1: First of all, why aren't we taxing the remittances? Let's 227 00:12:33,857 --> 00:12:37,897 Speaker 1: put that out there. Pretty hefty tax on remittances. I 228 00:12:37,897 --> 00:12:39,537 Speaker 1: think that would be a good thing. I'd like to 229 00:12:39,537 --> 00:12:41,577 Speaker 1: see that because that's money that's not going into the 230 00:12:41,657 --> 00:12:45,657 Speaker 1: US economy, right, that's money that's going elsewhere people who 231 00:12:45,697 --> 00:12:48,017 Speaker 1: aren't supposed to be here in the first place. So 232 00:12:48,377 --> 00:12:54,417 Speaker 1: I don't like that. Beyond that, though, beyond that, the 233 00:12:54,577 --> 00:12:58,737 Speaker 1: law is supposed to be the law, and the IRS 234 00:12:59,057 --> 00:13:03,137 Speaker 1: is involved in let's be honest, it's involved in law 235 00:13:03,177 --> 00:13:08,057 Speaker 1: enforcement essentially. That's what tax law. It's the tax law authority. Yeah, 236 00:13:08,097 --> 00:13:10,457 Speaker 1: they'll send the FBI to arrestue. But IRSA are the 237 00:13:10,497 --> 00:13:12,137 Speaker 1: ones that flag you, and they're the ones that you 238 00:13:12,337 --> 00:13:14,977 Speaker 1: do your audits and everything else, And that the head 239 00:13:14,977 --> 00:13:18,337 Speaker 1: of the IRS would think that they should have the 240 00:13:18,457 --> 00:13:22,377 Speaker 1: right to demand receipts of a restaurant you went to 241 00:13:22,537 --> 00:13:25,257 Speaker 1: two years ago that you wrote off as a work 242 00:13:25,297 --> 00:13:29,417 Speaker 1: dinner or something. They can demand that of you, but 243 00:13:29,777 --> 00:13:34,977 Speaker 1: they won't share information about the returns. That effect that 244 00:13:35,017 --> 00:13:38,457 Speaker 1: that show who's illegal and where they are is outrageous. 245 00:13:38,777 --> 00:13:40,857 Speaker 1: It just goes to show you that even in the 246 00:13:40,897 --> 00:13:44,937 Speaker 1: apparatus itself, there are a lot of clearly Democrats who 247 00:13:45,017 --> 00:13:47,977 Speaker 1: think that illegal aliens are a special instead of being 248 00:13:48,057 --> 00:13:52,257 Speaker 1: a class of illegal, a legal actor in this country, 249 00:13:52,297 --> 00:13:54,457 Speaker 1: somebody who is violating the law, not just with their status, 250 00:13:54,457 --> 00:13:57,657 Speaker 1: but often with social security fraud, using fake social security information, 251 00:13:57,737 --> 00:14:00,657 Speaker 1: all kinds of stuff, that they are a special instead 252 00:14:00,657 --> 00:14:03,337 Speaker 1: of a special class of criminal they are. And again 253 00:14:03,417 --> 00:14:05,617 Speaker 1: I understand a lot of them are hardworking people and 254 00:14:05,657 --> 00:14:08,817 Speaker 1: they're not doing, you know, evil crimes, but they are 255 00:14:08,857 --> 00:14:11,857 Speaker 1: violating our laws and they do so with impunity. Are 256 00:14:11,897 --> 00:14:13,857 Speaker 1: you an evil person if you, you know, shave a 257 00:14:13,857 --> 00:14:16,577 Speaker 1: little bit off your tax return and Uncle Sam gets 258 00:14:16,617 --> 00:14:18,217 Speaker 1: a little less of your money. No, you're not an 259 00:14:18,217 --> 00:14:20,097 Speaker 1: evil person, but the I R S will say you 260 00:14:20,137 --> 00:14:22,497 Speaker 1: better pay fines, that we're throwing you in prison, and 261 00:14:22,537 --> 00:14:24,297 Speaker 1: maybe they throw you in prison anyway, depends on how 262 00:14:24,337 --> 00:14:28,377 Speaker 1: big the shaving of your tax return, if you will 263 00:14:28,857 --> 00:14:31,777 Speaker 1: ends up being. So you don't pay the I r 264 00:14:31,817 --> 00:14:33,377 Speaker 1: S enough, you can go to prison. But the IRS 265 00:14:33,457 --> 00:14:36,577 Speaker 1: doesn't want to help with immigration enforcement because those people 266 00:14:36,577 --> 00:14:40,217 Speaker 1: are allowed to break the law because because there's some 267 00:14:40,817 --> 00:14:44,257 Speaker 1: bizarre left wing we are one world humanitarian religion that 268 00:14:44,297 --> 00:14:48,257 Speaker 1: they belong to. It's appalling, it's shocking, and it should 269 00:14:48,537 --> 00:14:51,897 Speaker 1: it should enrage you, and ranges enrages me. And I'm 270 00:14:51,977 --> 00:14:54,497 Speaker 1: very happy to see that Trump is saying no more 271 00:14:54,617 --> 00:14:58,457 Speaker 1: of that nonsense. And with that, my friends, I gotta 272 00:14:58,457 --> 00:15:00,337 Speaker 1: tell you this is it for me for this week, 273 00:15:01,177 --> 00:15:03,177 Speaker 1: because I'm going to the hospital to night my wife. 274 00:15:03,217 --> 00:15:05,657 Speaker 1: We are expecting the birth of our first born, a 275 00:15:05,817 --> 00:15:08,857 Speaker 1: baby boy.
