1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,680 Speaker 1: Welcome everybody to the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. 2 00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,640 Speaker 1: Excited to have you all with us. Clay on vacation 3 00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:11,040 Speaker 1: this week, as you know, having a great time out west. 4 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:13,680 Speaker 1: He'll be back with us on Monday. He sends his 5 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,480 Speaker 1: warmest regards to all of you, and I know he 6 00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 1: will be fired up to get back to the mic. 7 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 1: He's with his boys, he's having a great time towards 8 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:25,240 Speaker 1: some colleges. We have a lot of news going on here, 9 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 1: my friends. I want I'm going to start with this one, 10 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 1: although I think we're going to dive into the economy 11 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:35,839 Speaker 1: first today, but just for headlines sake. Department of Education 12 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 1: has fired more than thirteen hundred employees, closed offices for 13 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: security reason reasons yesterday. So that's actually happening, my friends. 14 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:53,480 Speaker 1: The Department of Education is getting cut down substantially, so 15 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: they had what are being called sweeping layoffs. We shall 16 00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: discuss because this raises so many interesting issues. What does 17 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 1: the Department of Education do? Again? Right the moment you 18 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: get into that, you start to think, do we want 19 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,040 Speaker 1: it doing that? Has it done a good job of 20 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: doing that? Is it worth what we're paying for it 21 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 1: to try to do the job that it may not 22 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: be doing so well. Of that, we will discuss all 23 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: of it. We've got some progress to speak of on 24 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 1: the Russia Ukraine war cease fire negotiations underway. We've got 25 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 1: Secretary Rubio with some quotes on that one coming up 26 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,680 Speaker 1: in a little bit, which is a very good thing. 27 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: We want that war to stop, we want the bloodshed 28 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: to stop. We want stability to slowly but surely return 29 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: to that region. Also. It's interesting, isn't it. Yesterday I 30 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: told you about the whole courtesy thing with trends identifying 31 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: individuals and how you are to be kind to them. 32 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: You are to be, you know, Christian or whatever your 33 00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: faith tradition is a good person to all people, of course, 34 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: including trans people. But you don't have to lie, right. 35 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 1: You don't have to pretend somebody who's fifty is actually 36 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 1: ten because they say so. And you don't have to 37 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: pretend that somebody who's a man is actually a woman 38 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: because they say so. This came up in Congress yesterday. 39 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: We have the clip and you will want to hear it. 40 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: Turns out I'm not the only one who feels this way. 41 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: There are some members of Congress who no longer wish 42 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 1: to refer to trans colleagues by their preferred pronoun or 43 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: their preferred gender. But I want to start with the 44 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: back and forth already on the economy today, because well, 45 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 1: look at effects all of us, and I get it. 46 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: You know, my wife's family has chickens in the backyard. 47 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: It's funny. Who would have thought that chickens now by 48 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: laying eggs. It's like they're laying golden eggs. Because eggs 49 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: are very expensive. They've gone up substantially. But you know 50 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: who do well of this is that they had to 51 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: kill so many ch I'm sorry, I shouldn't say had to. 52 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,239 Speaker 1: They chose to kill so many chickens because of bird flu. 53 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 1: That's part one of why there's been a run up 54 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: in prices. We've seen a run up in prices for staples, 55 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 1: for food goods going back for years in the Biden administration. Remember, 56 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: just by way of context, the worst inflation in forty 57 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: years occurred on Joe Biden's watch and began when he 58 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: took office. I think we can often forget about this, 59 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: right because Trump's come in and it's like, oh, look 60 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: at the look at the price of eggs. Trump's been 61 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: in office thirty days, and yes, the price of eggs 62 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: is coming down. I'm going to get to some of 63 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: the good economic news today because you'll notice they're going 64 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: to find something else to freak out about because things 65 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: I'm not saying we're out of the woods. You know, 66 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 1: you could have a big stock market drop next week. 67 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: But there are plenty of data points to look at 68 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: here to suggest that everything is going to be just fine. 69 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: But Biden had the worst inflation in forty years and 70 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: it started right when he came into office because he 71 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: spent trillions of dollars completely unnecessarily, and as we've seen 72 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: now in part because of the work of Doge, some 73 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: of this money just gets handed out to left wing 74 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: interest groups that are NGOs really in name only because 75 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 1: their government funded non government organizations. And there's all this money, 76 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: the green energy slush fund that has been part of 77 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: the Biden spending spree, and including these so called Inflation 78 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: Reduction Act which did not at all reduce inflation. It 79 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,479 Speaker 1: didn't even really address inflation, and if it did, it 80 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: made it worse, or rather, in the ways that it did, 81 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 1: it made it worse. Now we are starting to see 82 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: that the Trump plan is going to require fixing some things. 83 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: And you know, when you go into an old house 84 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: and you know you're kicking at the wooden boards and 85 00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,919 Speaker 1: you're checking out, you know you got to fix a upper. 86 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: And some aspects certainly of our government but also of 87 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 1: our spending. You're in a unique fixer upper opportunity. When 88 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 1: you start to look at the different pieces. Sometimes you're 89 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: gonna pull a board off the wall end, maybe a 90 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 1: piece of the ceiling comes down. Stuff is gonna happen 91 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: a little bit, But the fundamental structure is sound, and 92 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 1: the fundamental approach of Trump and his team is the 93 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: right one. And here, first of all, Trump is talking 94 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: about since I talked, I spoke about the price of eggs, 95 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: And now you know, I don't have a yard here 96 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,919 Speaker 1: in Miami, and I do wish that I had a yard, 97 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: because well, one I would convince my wife that a 98 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: pet fox, which you can legally have in Florida if 99 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: you get a certain license, would be really cool. But 100 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,720 Speaker 1: put that aside. Maybe that's just a weird thing with 101 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 1: me having chickens and even ducks. I hear ducks are 102 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: great for the laying of eggs. Save yourself a bunch 103 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: of money eggs at my local. Uh So, first of all, 104 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: I've gone in there. There's been basically no eggs some days. 105 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: So that's a thing. But that's a supply shortage, in 106 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: large part caused by the killing of all the euthanizing 107 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: of chickens to prevent the bird flu thing, which I 108 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 1: think was excessive. But anyway, here's Trump, this has cut 109 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: five talking about how look everybody, the things are happening. 110 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 1: You gotta just be patient. Don't let the don't let 111 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: the anti Trump Trump Derange media get you all worked up. 112 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:22,559 Speaker 1: Play five. 113 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 2: But we didn't have these problems. I had no inflation. 114 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 2: I had a great economy. He gave you high prices. 115 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 2: You couldn't buy bacon, you couldn't buy anything. And also 116 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 2: I inherited a situation with eggs. The price of eggs 117 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 2: was through the roof. Well, now the price of eggs 118 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 2: has come down a lot. Interest rates have come down, 119 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 2: gasoline prices have come down. 120 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: It's all coming down. 121 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 2: It's all a beautiful thing. 122 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 1: I can do it the right way, the wrong way. 123 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 1: We're doing it the right way. 124 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 2: And I have tremendous confidence in this country and the 125 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 2: people of this country. Tremendous company, much more so than 126 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 2: if I sat back for four years and had a 127 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 2: good time in the ovelope. 128 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: Just remember this. There are some fundamental and obvious truths 129 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: about our situation right now, and Trump was getting to 130 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,600 Speaker 1: some of this in that sound bite. Yes, price of 131 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: eggs coming down a little bit, still needs to come 132 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: out more. But we know that there's an artificial specifically 133 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: with eggs, there's an artificial reason for why the price 134 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: has been so high. You can't kill all the chickens 135 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: and wonder where the eggs are pretty straightforward. But the 136 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: fundamental recognition that we should all remember is that Donald 137 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: Trump is better at this than the people who used 138 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: to be in charge until a minute ago. And then 139 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: the people who are criticizing him, what do they know 140 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: about any of this? What do these journals know about 141 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: supply and demand and how to actually get the American 142 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: economy up and running. Trump has done it. He has 143 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: done this successfully. He has a track record, he has 144 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: been in the big chair before. So all this stuff 145 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 1: and I see I I want to say, conservatives or 146 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 1: people on the right are they're not panicking about the 147 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: libs panic because it's trumped arrangement so that they look 148 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: for opportunities to panic. You know, everything is, oh did 149 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 1: I leave the gas on? Is the house going to explode? 150 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: They're constantly freaking out because that's who they are. But 151 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 1: on our side, yeah, the market drops a little bit. Yeah, 152 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: there's some stuff back and forth on the tariffs, but 153 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: the conversation about tariffs, you have to keep in mind 154 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 1: it changes within a twenty four hour news cycle. Okay, 155 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: well we're gonna we're gonna delay that one. Okay, we're 156 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: gonna drop this one down a little bit. You know, 157 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: there's plenty of stuff that needs to happen that Trump 158 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 1: is doing that we need to let play out a 159 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: little bit. So the double tariff on Canadian medals, for example, 160 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: has been called off by Trump, and people say, oh, 161 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 1: this is so abrupt that how can markets react? He 162 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: is trying to negotiate with sovereign governments over trade agreements. 163 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 1: There's going to be some stop and start this. You know, 164 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,319 Speaker 1: we've seen Trump before, right, and we've seen him before 165 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,080 Speaker 1: on the economy when he's doing this stuff. And I 166 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 1: keep reminding everybody who will listen to me, you know, 167 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: I knew a couple of people who were true trade 168 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: nerds in the best sense in DC. I used to 169 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 1: have them on my old radio show back in the day. 170 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: I I knew a couple of people who were really 171 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: good on trade. They're the only ones early on in 172 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 1: Trump twenty seventeen who were saying to me, yeack, yeah, actually, 173 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,079 Speaker 1: we need to do something about China's trade barriers. We 174 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: shouldn't just sit here and take it. Yeah, we need 175 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: to do something to update the US Mexico Canada agreement. 176 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: We shouldn't just sit here and take it. And then 177 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: there's the same thing, Oh my gosh, what's Trump doing. 178 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 1: It's crazy, you know, it's no, it's all all within 179 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: his skill set, his strategy and the people he has 180 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: in charge. Now, look, I don't want to be fatalistic 181 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: about this, but when you look at Trump, you look 182 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: at Elon Musk. If they can't fix this, nobody can. 183 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 1: I hate to you know, in those jobs, in these roles. 184 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: If Trump can't fix this, if Elon can't give Trump 185 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: the advice necessary to have him take the actions to 186 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 1: pair things back with the spending and all the mission 187 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: that DOJE has, We're throwing our best at it right now. Okay, 188 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: the electorate sent us their best this time, and everyone 189 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: needs to just either let the things happen here that 190 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: are happening. Everything that is being done is one stuff 191 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 1: that Trump talked about doing, whether it's the border or 192 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: it's ending the Ukraine War with a ceasefire, and he's 193 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 1: taking all of these actions. But it's just so funny 194 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,559 Speaker 1: to me to see that. It's like all contacts with 195 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: the media is gone. Oh my gosh, you know things 196 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 1: were what things were so good before under Biden the 197 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 1: puppet dementia patient. You got to be kidding me, right, 198 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,839 Speaker 1: what is it? The only job Joe Biden knows how 199 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 1: to create was a corrupt pay to play for hunter. 200 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 1: All right, he has no idea what's going on, truly 201 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: had no idea what's going on. Look at the auto 202 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: pen stuff that's being talked about now. And now we 203 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: have a team that understands capitalism, understands markets, understands business. 204 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 1: So don't don't let them start to get into your 205 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: head because you know, now they start to look at 206 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,719 Speaker 1: the numbers. Now they start to pretend that they're objective 207 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 1: reporters again in the media. Oh, it's not that I 208 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 1: hate Trump, it's that I'm I'm worried about the stock 209 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:21,719 Speaker 1: market suddenly. Okay, well here you go. Here's CNN. This 210 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 1: has cut four saying that, you know what, there's actually 211 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: some good news in the economy this week on some 212 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:28,839 Speaker 1: things that really matter. Play it. 213 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 3: Finally we have some good news on the economy and 214 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 3: really the number one issue for many Americans the cost 215 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 3: of living. So we just learned that consumer prices in 216 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 3: February increased by two point eight percent year over year, 217 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 3: zero point two percent month of a month. Both of 218 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 3: these figures were a step in the right direction, and 219 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 3: both were better than expected. So this is definitely very 220 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 3: encouraging to see because it's going to I think relieve 221 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 3: some fears that inflation was perhaps reaccelerating, because this actually 222 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,959 Speaker 3: breaks a streak of four were straight months where I 223 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 3: think you could see it on the chart all the 224 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 3: way to the right, where the inflation rate was going 225 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 3: in the wrong direction. Right, it was going higher and higher. 226 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 3: Finally we're seeing it dip. 227 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: Finally. Trump hasn't even been an office two months. Keep 228 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 1: that in mind. Now, I know they're going back even before, 229 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 1: but this, this is the data now that we're seeing. 230 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:26,679 Speaker 1: And remember the Biden data was suspiciously manipulated so that 231 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 1: the jobs numbers were always higher than they actually were. 232 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 1: That the recession that happened under Biden two quarters of 233 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 1: negative GDP growth. Oh, but is that really a recession. 234 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,959 Speaker 1: Let's change the definition of recession. Don't forget what they 235 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 1: have done to try to do this perception management, operation 236 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: information operation SYOP on the economy because they know that 237 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 1: more than anything else that drives votes, that that drives 238 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: power come election time. So they'll say whatever they have 239 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,839 Speaker 1: to say about it. Trump is in charge, His team 240 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: is awesome, They're doing good things. They know what they're doing. 241 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 1: If I feel like things are going off the rails, 242 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,439 Speaker 1: or I'll tell you and the people that are around 243 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: Trump who listen to this show, maybe they'll pass that along. 244 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 1: I've seen none of that. I've seen none of that. 245 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: All I see is Trump doing what Trump does. And 246 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 1: this week, I think is a reminder to all of 247 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,439 Speaker 1: us that the same media that told you that Trump 248 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 1: should go to prison for the rest of his life 249 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: for whatever the nonsense case was, there are four different ones. 250 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 1: Is now the media is saying, oh, can he really 251 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,319 Speaker 1: bring down inflation? What they don't want you to think 252 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: about us, how all of this is connected. What causes inflation? 253 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 1: Monetary supply, government spending, what causes that government doing dumb things? 254 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 1: Biden the Democrats by addressing that, by having those do 255 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 1: what it does, guess what, it addresses the inflation problem. 256 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 1: Democrats think you can mandate lower prices because I say so, 257 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: because they fundamental league want to pretend we live in 258 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 1: a different world than we do, and that they can 259 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:08,479 Speaker 1: artificially suspend the laws of supply and demand. They can't. 260 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 1: Trump knows that you want to address inflation. That's what 261 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 1: Trump is doing, That's what Elon is doing. That's what's 262 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: going on right now. So just but you know, tell 263 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: them to just stuff it. You've had enough of the 264 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 1: noise from oh my gosh, the recession depression Trump, Please, okay, 265 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 1: Biden didn't even know what year it was, and he 266 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: was a commander in chief and the economy didn't collapse. 267 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 1: I think we're gonna be okay.

But he also left us 306 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 2: a mess with millions of people that poured into our 307 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 2: country that are criminals. Millions of those people happen to 308 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 2: be criminals, and we're looking for them all over the place. 309 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 2: We're looking for him, and Homan and Christy are doing 310 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 2: an incredible job. But he left us a horrible situation, 311 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 2: and we're changing it. But one of the things we're 312 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 2: changing is we're gonna make our country really wealthy again. 313 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 1: We're gonna bring our jobs back right now. 314 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 2: We're like a chicken that's being plucked at from all 315 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 2: over the world. 316 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: We're not gonna let that happen anymore. You can't. You 317 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 1: can't pluck Trump like a chicken. All right, that's just 318 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 1: you know Trump quote, don't pluck me, don't pluck me 319 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,159 Speaker 1: like a chicken. I think that's fair to say, and 320 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: I think world leaders are gonna be well aware of 321 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 1: that one. So yeah, that's the situation that we have here. 322 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 1: And I do appreciate his reminding everybody. I mean, Biden 323 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 1: was terrible at this. We really lost four years post 324 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 1: COVID of what another thing that that people forget now 325 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: and all this. Biden was terrible at this. Yes, the 326 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,679 Speaker 1: economy should have been in boom, but they kept a 327 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: lot of it artificially shut down because of the vaccine 328 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 1: mandates and all the lunacy, and then they pretended it 329 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 1: was better by one misreporting stuff, but also just spending 330 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: us into oblivion. Spending us into oblivion that wasn't real productivity. 331 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 1: That's why you had twenty five percent government jobs. So 332 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,399 Speaker 1: that's right, No more treating America like a chicken to 333 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,359 Speaker 1: be plucked.

Some big 355 00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 1: moves happening with the trumpetn crations efforts to get a 356 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:08,120 Speaker 1: ceasefire in the Ukraine Russia war. And here we have 357 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 1: this has cut three. President Trump announcing a first step here. 358 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 1: It's a first of many steps, and the Russians haven't 359 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 1: even come to agree to this point yet, but there 360 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 1: is progress to speak of for right now. And this 361 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: is cut three here. 362 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 2: It Ukraine ceasefire just agreed to a little while ago. 363 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,160 Speaker 2: Now we have to go to Russia and President hopefully 364 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 2: President Putin will agree to that also, and we can 365 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 2: get this show on the road. We can get this 366 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,639 Speaker 2: horrible war where two three thousand soldiers a week, every week, 367 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,399 Speaker 2: two three four thousand. Sometimes I get the reports and 368 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 2: they're not American soldiers, they're Ukrainian and they're Russian. But 369 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 2: people are being killed outside of that. People are being 370 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 2: killed in the cities as things explode throughout the cities, 371 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 2: and we want to get that war over with. I 372 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,679 Speaker 2: think it's a big difference between the last visit you 373 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,880 Speaker 2: saw at the Oval Office, and so that's a total 374 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 2: ceasefire Ukraine has agreed to it, and hopefully Russia will 375 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 2: agree to it. We're going to meet with him later 376 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 2: on today and tomorrow. 377 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 1: So the big outstanding component of this thing left to 378 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 1: be uh said, or to be done here to get 379 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:19,119 Speaker 1: it into a new phase is obviously Russia has to 380 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 1: agree to the ceasefire. So that hasn't but Ukraine has 381 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:28,160 Speaker 1: agreed for its part. I think that there's clearly been 382 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,880 Speaker 1: some pressure from Trump and his team. First, he's you know, 383 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 1: now it all starts to make more sense. Right. First, 384 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 1: he makes it clear a little Zelenski that the endless 385 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: spigot of money is no more. He makes it clear 386 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 1: to Zelenski that you got to focus on bringing this 387 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: thing to a conclusion and not just drag it out 388 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: and hope for a different situation, because that's not We're 389 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,440 Speaker 1: not paying for it, and that's not in anyone's interest 390 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 1: and a lot of people are gonna die time. So 391 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:07,439 Speaker 1: he has managed to I think pressure Zelenski not just 392 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,919 Speaker 1: with the words and the whole dust up in the 393 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 1: White House in the Oval Office, but by pulling intelligence sharing. 394 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 1: I told you there's there's what we talk about generally 395 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:21,439 Speaker 1: in terms of support to Ukraine a lot of money, 396 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 1: first and foremost, and munitions arms. It is tough to 397 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:31,679 Speaker 1: supply the Ukrainian army, even for American industry, because you know, 398 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 1: we're not in the middle of a war, so we 399 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 1: haven't gotten on a war footing, and we're supposed to 400 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 1: be sending them, you know, the bullets and the artillery 401 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 1: shells and all these things, and they're going through a 402 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,159 Speaker 1: lot of that stuff. You're talking about a long front, 403 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 1: a stalemate across what is it essentially a digital age 404 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: trench war. That's what's going on. It's trench warfare, but 405 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 1: with satellite pictures and drones and thermal imaging, right, It's 406 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 1: it's a new era of trench warfare. But as we 407 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,120 Speaker 1: all know, what's the thing about trench warfare, war of attrition. 408 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 1: War of attrition with men, which is a problem for Ukraine. 409 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: War of attrition with materio, which is a problem for 410 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: Ukraine because we're the ones that have to make up 411 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:16,920 Speaker 1: the shortfall. So Trump has managed to get the Ukrainians 412 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:21,360 Speaker 1: to accept for their part in Secretary Rubio, who from 413 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 1: everything I see, is just doing a fantastic job so far, 414 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 1: which is not a surprise. But everything he's doing has 415 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 1: been spot on. I know it's early days, but calin 416 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:33,879 Speaker 1: like I see it, this is cut one. He's just 417 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,160 Speaker 1: pointing out because he's involved very directly in the process 418 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 1: as the intermediary here, what's happened with Ukraine play it today. 419 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 5: We've made an offer that the Ukrainians have accepted, which 420 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 5: is to enter into a ceasefire and into immediate negotiations 421 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 5: to end this conflict in a way that's enduring and 422 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 5: sustainable and accounts for their interests, their security, their ability 423 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,640 Speaker 5: to prosper as a nation. I want to personally think 424 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,919 Speaker 5: we both want to thank the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's 425 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 5: majesty for hosting us, for making this possible. They've been 426 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 5: instrumental in this process, and we're very grateful to them 427 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 5: for hosting us here today. And hopefully we'll take this 428 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 5: offer and out of the Russians, and we hope that 429 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,159 Speaker 5: they'll say yes, that they'll say yes to peace. The 430 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 5: ball is now in their court. But again, the President's 431 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 5: objective here is number one above everything else. He wants 432 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,679 Speaker 5: the war to end, and I think today Ukraine has 433 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 5: taken a concrete step in that regard. We hope the 434 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 5: Russians will reciprocate. 435 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 1: Now the ball is in Russia's court, Putin's court, and 436 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: now we can see, we can test for the first time. 437 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 1: Is he willing to stop the bloodshed and come to 438 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:37,120 Speaker 1: some kind of a deal. And if his demands are 439 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:43,119 Speaker 1: completely unrealistic or you know, unfair, fair, of course in 440 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 1: these kinds of a all's fair in love and war. 441 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 1: But you know what I mean. If it's just a 442 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 1: non starter, and if he says, well, I get keV 443 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,119 Speaker 1: and everything east of it, you know they're not going 444 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,160 Speaker 1: to agree to that, right. But let's see what it 445 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 1: is that he says. Does he engage, Does he accept 446 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: the cease fire? That's part one? Does Putin say okay, 447 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,439 Speaker 1: let's let the guns go silent for a while, let's talk. 448 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 1: If he says no to that, well, at least then 449 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,880 Speaker 1: we know that his plan is to grind this thing 450 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 1: out and probably take at least half, if not all, 451 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 1: of Ukraine over time, and we have to do it. 452 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 1: And then we can look at this and say, okay, well, 453 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 1: what are we going to do about this? How much 454 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 1: do we But we'll have more information, will have critical information. 455 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 1: What do we know about what Biden did you notice 456 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 1: there's a trend here today? 457 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 2: Right? 458 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 1: Because Biden was president for at least theoretically president for 459 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,640 Speaker 1: four years. So what did he do when it came 460 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,679 Speaker 1: to Ukraine? First of all, the war starts on his watch, 461 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 1: as we know, and there was a whole thing, Are 462 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: there Russians really going to invade? 463 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 2: I don't know. 464 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 1: They're massing all these forces on the Ukraine and border, 465 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 1: they're really going to invade? And yeah they did on 466 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,399 Speaker 1: Now I understand there have been smaller incursions in the past. 467 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 1: I understand there was the plebiscide in Crimea, which people 468 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 1: say was, you know, fraudulent whatever, But those were taking 469 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 1: little bites around the edge of the cookie. They took 470 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,679 Speaker 1: a big bite of the cookie in this invasion, a 471 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 1: very different level, a very different scale of military incursion, 472 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 1: trying to take the whole country, trying to the capital city. 473 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: But let's not forget that the Biden all these people 474 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 1: who are Ukraine flags out their windows and Ukraine flags 475 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,120 Speaker 1: in their bio, A lot of whom honestly couldn't find 476 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 1: Ukraine on a map and probably still can't. They'll tell 477 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 1: you they can. Certainly, I have no idea how many 478 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 1: casualties have occurred in this conflict. Hundreds of thousands, hundreds 479 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:33,399 Speaker 1: of thousands of people dead, named, homes, businesses destroyed, in 480 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 1: numbers that will never even know productivity, future generations, future 481 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 1: families lost. I mean, the carnage. The cost of this 482 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: is appalling. And yes, is it Putin's fault for starting it? Yeah, 483 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,399 Speaker 1: but what's more important figuring out whose fault it is 484 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:55,719 Speaker 1: or stopping it? Right, This is the nature of warfare. 485 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,679 Speaker 1: You have to understand how you're going to get it 486 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 1: to a conclusion around The costs are borne by people 487 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: who have no ability to make it end. And this 488 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,159 Speaker 1: is where Trump and Rubio and the rest come in. 489 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 1: So we'll see does Russia play ball in this initial phase? 490 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 1: Do they go to a ceasfire be a thirty day 491 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: you know, we have some of the text here, a 492 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:20,440 Speaker 1: thirty day renewable ceasefire, So they go to ceasefire thirty 493 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,639 Speaker 1: days they talk. If Russia doesn't do that, well, then 494 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,159 Speaker 1: we know that they're going all in, and that you 495 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:27,959 Speaker 1: know that there were in a new phase of our 496 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:32,719 Speaker 1: understanding of the conflict, the old understanding. I remember this 497 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:34,919 Speaker 1: because I came on this show. What did I tell 498 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,920 Speaker 1: you this is going to cost a trillion dollars all 499 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 1: in between the US the EU, and yeah, I think 500 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,640 Speaker 1: that's prob I told you that three years ago, right 501 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,359 Speaker 1: when the war started. I was like, this is going 502 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 1: to be way where people said, oh, Ukraine is going 503 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 1: to win. I said, no, Russia. We're underestimating the Russian 504 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 1: war machine. The Russians will just keep throwing mena material 505 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 1: at this It's very hard to push them back, given 506 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,639 Speaker 1: the scale of what the Ukrainian forces can deal with. 507 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 1: Now that you granted, forces have gotten much better. Are 508 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: they brave? Yes? Do I respect very much that they're 509 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:10,119 Speaker 1: defending their homeland and their way of life. Absolutely, But 510 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:11,679 Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that I want us to fund this 511 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 1: thing forever and that I want a lot more of 512 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,880 Speaker 1: them to die, because ultimately, this is about who controls 513 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 1: a portion of a country that doesn't really matter to 514 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 1: us all that much. And Putin isn't Nazi Germany. Another 515 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 1: part of this, no one's No one's being taken off 516 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 1: into uh, you know, concentration camps. If in Crimea, there's 517 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,119 Speaker 1: no gas chambers there for for for millions of people. 518 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 1: They're not they're not exterminating minorities or anything like that. Okay, 519 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 1: a lot of we had a call or call us 520 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 1: from American from Moscow yesterday. It's not Nazi Germany. I'm 521 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 1: not saying it's free and fair. I'm not saying it's 522 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 1: a Jeffersonian democracy whatever, but it will be. Okay. I 523 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 1: have known you, believe it or not. And you can't 524 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 1: even really say this out loud because people get so angry, 525 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 1: some of them about this. I know Ukrainians. I know 526 00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:01,159 Speaker 1: Ukrainians who are pro Russian conflict, believe it or not. 527 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,719 Speaker 1: They're from the Eastern Region, they're from the Dawnbass. They 528 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 1: live in America now, but they'll say, yeah, this should 529 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 1: be part of Russia, we'd be better off. You never 530 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,119 Speaker 1: even hear that. And there's a lot of Russian sp 531 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,920 Speaker 1: I know, they say, oh, it's Russian propaganda, not justifying 532 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,720 Speaker 1: the invasion, just telling you facts, just telling your reality. 533 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,440 Speaker 1: This is the truth. There are people who feel like, hey, 534 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 1: Ukraine is a corrupt kleptocracy. Russia is too, but they 535 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 1: have a lot more oil and a lot more military 536 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 1: and a lot more stuff that benefits this citizen rate 537 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 1: than you know. I'm not saying it's a majority. Maybe 538 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 1: it's five percent. I don't know. The point is this 539 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 1: is more complicated than it's Hitler and Neville Chamberlain, which 540 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 1: is the way it's all been lined up. Another really 541 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 1: important part of this New York Times. You go back 542 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 1: and find it yourself. I told you it's going to 543 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: cost a trillion dollars, which if you look at the 544 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 1: all in costs, I think that's going to look pretty 545 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 1: prophetic in retrospect. I told you they wouldn't be able 546 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 1: to defeat the Russian war machine. You can go back 547 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 1: to February of whatever this thing started, twenty twenty one 548 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 1: or twenty twenty two. I can't remember now the year. 549 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 1: All these years now blend together in my head. But 550 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 1: when you look at this, they kept telling us, oh, 551 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:15,120 Speaker 1: Ukraine is on the verge New York Times during Biden's 552 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: I keep saying Biden's reign, as if he was in charge. 553 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,240 Speaker 1: But you know, it just makes it easier for our conversation. 554 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 1: Ukraine's going to break through this fighting season. Ukraine's gonna 555 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 1: break through. They're going to push the Russians back on 556 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 1: their heels. Just wait, just wait, didn't happen. In fact, 557 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 1: Russia is in a better position now militarily than they 558 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 1: were last year or the year before. So what exactly 559 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 1: are we supposed to do here? The people who are 560 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 1: telling you don't negotiate were the same people, the same voices, 561 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 1: the same Democrats who were saying that Ukraine was going 562 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:50,480 Speaker 1: to be able to punch through and turn the tide 563 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 1: of this war. They were wrong, wrong in a big way. Wrong, 564 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,040 Speaker 1: the same way that people who said, hey, if we 565 00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,160 Speaker 1: just stick it out longer in Afghanistan, eventually it'll be 566 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 1: a self sustaining sovereign nation with you know, basic pluralistic 567 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 1: rights and democracy, fantasy land stuff. I was there in 568 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 1: twenty ten. Let me tell you it was obvious in 569 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:16,720 Speaker 1: twenty ten that Afghanistan was not going anywhere good. It 570 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 1: was in the Obama administration. But you know, people didn't 571 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 1: want to look at that and speak the truth about it. Right, 572 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 1: you're oh you're defeatist. Oh okay, well, same thing here 573 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 1: with Ukraine. Oh you're a Putin stooge. Anyone who makes 574 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,680 Speaker 1: this argument is just being an idiot. You know, I've 575 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 1: never gotten any money from Pootin. I'm not even I 576 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 1: don't think anyone thinks I'm pro Russian I'm not. I'm 577 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 1: just pro war end and we not pay for it, 578 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 1: which is I think where Trump is on this true. 579 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,560 Speaker 1: But for Trump, because of Trump's arrangement syndrome, you get 580 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 1: all this other stuff gets thrown into it of look, 581 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 1: oh he's Putin's puppet and no, no, no, Trump is 582 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 1: first of all, the notion can we just say this 583 00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 1: out loud, the notion that Trump is anyone's is insane, Okay, insane? 584 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 1: Like this is like somebody's saying, oh yeah, like there's 585 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,480 Speaker 1: a wild grizzly bear in the woods. I'm just gonna, like, 586 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 1: you know, yoke it up with a saddle and take 587 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 1: it for a ride. No chance, no chance, all right, 588 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 1: it's completely of Look what Putin has the leverage over Trump? 589 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,719 Speaker 1: Putin is a This is just but think about how 590 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 1: many times you've heard this, Oh, he's an asset of 591 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 1: the Kremlin. Oh he's People who say this are out 592 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 1: of their minds. It's like they haven't been paying attention 593 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:35,000 Speaker 1: for the last decade to everything that has actually happened, 594 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 1: and it's like they have no idea who Donald Trump is. 595 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 1: Nobody calls the shots with Trump, Nobody puts Trump in 596 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:45,640 Speaker 1: a corner I think that's quite clear. So now we're 597 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 1: at this ceasefire. Now we see whether or not the 598 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 1: Russians will start to play ball. And yeah, I know 599 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,720 Speaker 1: all the there's all the criticism, you know, and the 600 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 1: people up in the bleachers. Oh but what if Russia 601 00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 1: uses this to rearm? Oh but what if? It's not easy? 602 00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 1: This is not a guarantee. I'm not saying it will work. 603 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 1: I'm saying we have to try to get it to 604 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 1: work because of where things are right now, which is 605 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 1: what Trump had to slap Zelenski around in the Oval 606 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,800 Speaker 1: office to get through his head. And I think it worked. 607 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 1: And also now the intelligent sharing the weapons of support 608 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 1: has come back for Ukraine. So the whole point here was, Hey, 609 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 1: show us you want to cease fire. We'll keep helping 610 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 1: you hold the line for now, but show us you 611 00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,440 Speaker 1: really want to cease fire. Ukraine says, Okay, we're willing 612 00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 1: to go forward with the ceasefire. Let's do this. Now 613 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,080 Speaker 1: we see what's going on with Russia. I got news 614 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 1: for anybody who thinks that Trump is Putin's puppet. If 615 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,920 Speaker 1: Russia balks at this whole thing, doesn't want to play 616 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,160 Speaker 1: ball at all, Trump's going to turn up the heat 617 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 1: on Russia, almost like he's a deal maker who knows 618 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:45,680 Speaker 1: what the heck he's trying to get done here, almost 619 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 1: like there's some method to the madness, sort of like 620 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 1: with the economy. It's really the theme this week, isn't 621 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 1: it all? Right? This morning, before we started the program, 622 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 1: my dad and I were online having a chat, making 623 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 1: a little history with a big prediction from him. I 624 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 1: may have helped organize the event, but it was my 625 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 1: dad whose insights are what's so critical for where the 626 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 1: financial markets are going.

He created a name for himself, 632 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 1: like I said, back with the eighty seven crash. But 633 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:27,720 Speaker 1: he's also advised some of the biggest hedge funds in 634 00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,880 Speaker 1: the world.

I just want 681 00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,719 Speaker 1: clarity on what if the authority is that the Secretary 682 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:06,040 Speaker 1: of State can say the Secretary of State can say 683 00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,400 Speaker 1: you're here at a student visa and you're acting like 684 00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:12,719 Speaker 1: a jerk because I say so, You're gone. Okay, if 685 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,240 Speaker 1: that is the authority that he has, which has rarely 686 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,359 Speaker 1: ever been used. But if that's the authority, this guy 687 00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:20,680 Speaker 1: should go. I just want us all to be clear 688 00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:24,320 Speaker 1: on the authority because now that it's out there and 689 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,080 Speaker 1: people know about it, there's going to be democrats who 690 00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:28,360 Speaker 1: are in charge at some point. I just want ever 691 00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,520 Speaker 1: to be clear on that so you know, and is 692 00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:34,000 Speaker 1: this the standard now only for anti semitism on campus 693 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,560 Speaker 1: or is this going to be for other things that 694 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:41,760 Speaker 1: are activist protests, etc. Again, I'm just asking for clarity 695 00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:43,759 Speaker 1: for the administration on what it is so we know 696 00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,040 Speaker 1: what the standard is.
