And interest payments on our debt are now 172 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 1: more than our defense spending. 173 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 2: So we're in serious trouble. 174 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: Just no chance of anybody ever coming out and saying 175 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:33,079 Speaker 1: that there's no constituency for Isn't that crazy?

But it's pretty 189 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: silly that we don't. You are plainly blaming Trump. And 190 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 1: while Jack wants to trump bash, I want to seal 191 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: the borders.

Importing these 195 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 3: cultures through unrestricted immigration and open borders brings those problems 196 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 3: right here to the USA. And it is the American 197 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 3: people who pay the price in higher medical bills, car insurance, race, 198 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 3: rent taxes, and perhaps most importantly crime. 199 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 2: We will take care of this problem. We're going to 200 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:50,959 Speaker 2: take care of this problem. 201 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 4: We are not playing games, Delilah. 202 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: The first two thirds of that, the culturals especially, is 203 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 1: one hundred percent correct, and any honest political scientists or 204 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 1: sociologist would tell you that that's one hundred percent correct. 205 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:15,679 Speaker 1: But that caused the squad to just boil. That's when 206 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: the eyes got wild and the spittle was flying from 207 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: the mouths of to. 208 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 2: Leave the Omar and others, And that's when Trump set 209 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 2: the drop. 210 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 3: One one of the great things about the State of 211 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 3: the Union is how it gives Americans the chance to 212 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 3: see clearly what their representatives really believe. So tonight, I'm 213 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 3: inviting every legislature to join with my administration and reaffirming 214 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 3: a fundamental principle. If you agree with this statement, then 215 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 3: stand up and show your support. The first duty of 216 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 3: the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal areas. 217 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 3: In that shame, you should be ashamed of yourself not 218 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 3: standing up, You should be ashamed of yourself. That is 219 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 3: why I'm also asking you to end deadly sanctuary cities 220 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:21,560 Speaker 3: that protect the criminals and enact serious penalties for public 221 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 3: officials who. 222 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 4: Block the removal of criminal aliens. 223 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 3: In many cases, drug lords, murders all over our country. 224 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,680 Speaker 4: They're blocking the removal of. 225 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 3: These people out of our country, and you should be 226 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 3: ashamed of yourselves. 227 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 1: I gotta believe that segment there eighty percent of America 228 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: agreed with, if not ninety percent. 229 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 2: And listen to the unhinged screen. 230 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,679 Speaker 1: How interrupting do you have to be before you get 231 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,720 Speaker 1: the gable and they say, hey, you got to shut up. 232 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 1: This is the State of the Union address. The President speaks, 233 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: and you listen and that's what it is. Yeah, that 234 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,839 Speaker 1: absolutely could have happened. But Trump loved it. 235 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 2: He can handle it very very well, and he no, 236 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,319 Speaker 2: I think it's beyond that. I think he likes it. 237 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: Oh. 238 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 2: He likes to be seen in the face fighting those people. 239 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: And I think that's a net positive that that little 240 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: episode there was definitely a net positive for Trump in 241 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: the jump. But I would think that that was violating 242 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,199 Speaker 1: whatever rules they have there in the house. 243 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right.

Let's give him as much rope as 248 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 2: they want. 249 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:43,319 Speaker 1: Let him's from quote little Anderson Cooper final thought. We 250 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 1: had to edit that for length. But if you didn't 251 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: see it, when he said stand up, if you believe this, the. 252 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 2: Republicans roared and roared and. 253 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 1: Clapped and clapped for a full sixty seconds, as the Democrats. 254 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 2: Sat there glowering, Oh, it was such good. 255 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: Unwilling to say they prioritize American citizens over illegals. 256 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 2: That's crazy, That is crazy town. 257 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 4: That is so. 258 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 1: Nuhing and Trump put them on the train to crazy 259 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 1: Town and made him get off and waved to the citizens. 260 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 2: N bought a brilliant a. 261 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,839 Speaker 1: First class take it the smile on their face.

Sure, it didn't 285 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: have anything to do with the politics. But a lot 286 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: of attention is being pointed at the New York Times 287 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 1: and other publications the way they're handling this whole thing. 288 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 1: Here's the senior writer for the Athletic, and that is 289 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: the New York Times Sports, their own sports thing, so 290 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 1: it's a big deal. New York Times Athletic Jerry Brewer wrote, 291 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: the US men's hockey team won gold and then lost 292 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: the room. A column on fragile, fleeting unity and an 293 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 1: historic team that let its moment drift into political manipulation. 294 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: All right, that's the way you see it. Also being 295 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 1: pointed out by Rich Lowry of The National Review, how 296 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 1: they handled the hockey team versus the way they handled 297 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: Eileen Gou, who freaking competed for our main enemy on Earth, 298 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 1: the Chinese, and one of the most evil, repressive regimes 299 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 1: on Earth. So their story about her was Eileen Gou 300 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 1: was the highest earner at the twenty twenty six Winter Olympics. 301 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 1: The scientist, politician, skier, model and student is like a magician. 302 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 1: The audience dazzled by her mastery, but somewhat irked about 303 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 1: how she does it, our columnist writes. Then their story 304 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 1: about the hockey team. US men's hockey stars Jack and 305 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: Quinn Hughes responded to what Jack called the backlash the 306 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 1: team is faced surrounding their post Olympic call with President 307 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: Trump and his comments about the US women's team. So 308 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 1: they turned that into a political story. The United States 309 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: winning the gold medal in hockey. The woman competing for 310 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 1: the Chinese is just her scientist, politicians, skier modeling student, 311 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 1: dazzling Americans. 312 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 2: Blah blah blah blah blah. Right, how do you do that? 313 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 2: So cuddling up to Shijin Ping good and not political 314 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 2: at all. No reason of bringing politics into that. 315 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 1: Accepting the congratulations of the President of the United States bad. 316 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: According to The Athletic in The New York Times and Kaily, 317 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: politics need to be injected into that story, right exactly? Okay, 318 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: we know who you are. How frustrating is that. 319 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 2: Makes you want to pound on their heads with hockey sticks? Well? 320 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 2: If I have one hand to yes, Yeah, we got 321 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 2: more on the way. 322 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: If you miss a segment, get the podcast Armstrong and 323 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,160 Speaker 1: Getty on demand. 324 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty. 325 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,119 Speaker 7: The CEO of Dominoes, said in a new interview that 326 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 7: the pizza chain is looking to double its market share, 327 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 7: in part by targeting lower income customers. Oh you mean 328 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 7: hoping rich people order Dominoes hasn't worked. 329 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:38,160 Speaker 2: What's the matter. 330 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 7: They can't read the pizza tracker through their monocle. 331 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 1: He's not wrong, Dominoes. What does it rank in terms 332 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 1: of your chain cheap pizzas? 333 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 2: Katie?

I would say it's gotten better and they 340 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:12,200 Speaker 5: started offering like my favorites, the pan pizza. 341 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 2: You prefer them to round Table or the Hut? For 342 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 2: the price, I prefer them to round table. 343 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: Yes, hugely different price point than round table. Oh yeah, okay, 344 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 1: I didn't really. I don't order Dominoes because I'm better 345 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 1: than you.

No, 348 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,920 Speaker 2: round tables more expensive. Okay, well, I'll put my pinky 349 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,440 Speaker 2: out when I talk about roundtable. Yes, yeah, oh yeah, yeah, 350 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,920 Speaker 2: it's it might be twice as much cheap. Is Dominoes 351 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 2: like real cheap? Yeah? 352 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: I got two teenagers to feed. Okay, we're going, what's 353 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 1: what we're doing tonight? I guarantee you. 354 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 2: And they got the coops. There are so many coupons. 355 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, normally we make people buy advertising. What is happening here? 356 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,159 Speaker 1: Did did you get together and sell out to dominoes? 357 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 1: I'm just so outrageous, single full time dad trying to 358 00:18:58,720 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 1: figure out how to feed my kids. 359 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 2: That's all outrageous. Oh, speaking of wish. 360 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,160 Speaker 1: Just very briefly off the air, we were talking about 361 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 1: that obnoxious editorial in the Athletic the New York Times 362 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 1: about how the hockey team had dropped the ball, which 363 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:16,679 Speaker 1: is a sucky sports metaphor, too stupid, but how you 364 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 1: know by cozying up to Trump, they'd ruined the unity 365 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 1: of the country above. 366 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 2: It's just gratuitous. It was one sided, unfair, ridiculous. 367 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: Probably kind of welcome home with this audience, though I'm 368 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: guessing a lot of New York Times readers. 369 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 2: Felt that way. 370 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 1: Hi. I liked watching the hockey team win, but it 371 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 1: got completely ruined that they didn't. Immediately when Donald Trump 372 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,119 Speaker 1: called into the locker room, say yeah, what about the 373 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,640 Speaker 1: people you murdered in Minnesota and hung up on it, right, 374 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 1: like that's what was supposed to happen, right, exactly. Yeah. 375 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: I've had a freshing experience recently of talking to quite 376 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,639 Speaker 1: a few people who don't follow politics at all, and they. 377 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,880 Speaker 2: Have no idea that any of this stuff is going on. 378 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:03,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, and so even crossed their minds that if the 379 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,680 Speaker 1: hockey team wins the gold medal, that there's anything wrong 380 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:09,199 Speaker 1: with talking the president, calling and talking to him. Wouldn't 381 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: even think about it, of course not, because there's not anyway, 382 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:19,160 Speaker 1: here's something nobody wants. A great piece by Bill Galston 383 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:23,199 Speaker 1: about America's large and deepening budget deficit. We're in a 384 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:24,439 Speaker 1: hole and we're still digging. 385 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:25,680 Speaker 2: I don't want to hear about news. 386 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 1: By La la la la la Fingers Myers the la 387 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,200 Speaker 1: la la la la. Here are a couple of exhibits 388 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 1: to break through the la la las of America. The 389 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 1: administration asked for a fifty four percent cut in appropriations 390 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:36,919 Speaker 1: for the EPA. 391 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 2: It got four percent. 392 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,439 Speaker 1: It asked for a forty one percent reduction for the 393 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:44,159 Speaker 1: Centers for Disease Control prevention, got one percent for twenty 394 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 1: eight percent. Yeah, ask for a twenty eight percent cut 395 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,360 Speaker 1: from health and human services and got almost nothing. 396 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 2: And he writes, there's no. 397 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 1: Reasonablieve next year's proposed cuts will fare any better. We 398 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,680 Speaker 1: need another half trillion dollars for defense, but they won't 399 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: cut anything. And and then I will leave it alone, 400 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,679 Speaker 1: I promise. The CBO issued its budget predictions for the 401 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 1: next decade federal deficit. Nobody cares about that. The federal debt, 402 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 1: which stands at more than thirty trillion dollars, will soar 403 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:18,399 Speaker 1: to fifty six trillion dollars by what year twenty thirty six. 404 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 1: It will go from one hundred percent of our GDP 405 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: to one hundred and twenty percent. And this year, this year, 406 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,120 Speaker 1: interest payments on the federal debt will be more than 407 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 1: what trillion dollars, which is larger than the defense budget. 408 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 2: That's just the interest, friends. 409 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,640 Speaker 1: And that one hundred and twenty percent of your GDP 410 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:41,959 Speaker 1: number stuff. No country or entity has ever done that 411 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,880 Speaker 1: and survived ever in the history of the world. Our 412 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 1: government is turning the greatest economic country in the world 413 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,880 Speaker 1: into France, partly because they're responding to what voters. 414 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 2: Ask what was that? Is all? 415 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 1: I will say, Well, I got one more question, where 416 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 1: were they predicting for the yearly deficit? Because I'm amazed 417 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: how we've just accepted these trillion a year is perfectly okay. 418 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 1: One point nine trillion dollars for this year. That's virtually 419 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 1: almost two trillion overspent for the year. It will rise 420 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 1: to three point one trillion per year in overspending by 421 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 1: twenty thirty six. And that's the assumption is if the 422 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 1: trends continue. But as the previous part of the article 423 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,639 Speaker 1: pointed out, no matter how hard you try, one branch 424 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,159 Speaker 1: or the other says no, the trends will continue. Imagine 425 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 1: if you use a family spent significantly more than you 426 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:40,159 Speaker 1: make every year and just kept thinking, well, you know, 427 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 1: we probably. 428 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,679 Speaker 2: Ought to do something about this, but yeah, yeap. So 429 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 2: moving along because it's depressing and makes everybody angry. This 430 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 2: is a funny story. But at the end, Jack, there's 431 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 2: a twist. 432 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:58,679 Speaker 1: So here's this thirty seven year old tax economist Alan 433 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,439 Speaker 1: Cole is his name. He puts all of his life 434 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:07,359 Speaker 1: savings into one of those prediction markets. In this case, 435 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,640 Speaker 1: it was what the heck's the name of this market. 436 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,919 Speaker 1: It's got a funny name. I'll hit on it in 437 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 1: the second you'll hear. But anyway, he came across a 438 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:22,120 Speaker 1: bet that Elon Musk and Doge would fail to cut 439 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 1: the federal budget. There were actually a handful of bets 440 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: but that were all kind of similar, but the main 441 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 1: one was that in all four quarters of twenty twenty five, 442 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 1: the federal government would spend more than it spent the 443 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:42,880 Speaker 1: previous year, and that Doge would essentially fail completely. Calshi 444 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 1: is the website Calshie prediction market, and he won. 445 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 2: And you can actually bet on these things and they 446 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 2: actually pay off. 447 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, because you're betting against other people and you're not 448 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,160 Speaker 1: betting against the house in these prediction markets. 449 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,159 Speaker 2: I feel like I would have been an agreement with 450 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 2: this guy. Yeah, I w'd expect that we're going to 451 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 2: spend more all four quarters. Yeah. 452 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: But this guy, who's like a hardcore tax geek, he 453 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 1: put his life savings into this. He risked three hundred 454 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:17,119 Speaker 1: and forty two grand. He made one hundred and twenty 455 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:23,920 Speaker 1: eight thousand dollars of profit by winning this bet. All right, 456 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:29,920 Speaker 1: you ready, you ready for the twist? Mister Cole will 457 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 1: incur capital gains taxes on the money he removed from 458 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,880 Speaker 1: the investments to make the wager, and he missed some 459 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:42,119 Speaker 1: stock market gains. He'll also pay top rate on the 460 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 1: taxes on the winnings, a high rate on the taxes, 461 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,400 Speaker 1: so a lot of it's going back to the government. 462 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 2: Wah wah wah. 463 00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 1: Oh golly, So he took money early out of his investments, 464 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,639 Speaker 1: or took money out of his investments to do the bet. Okay, 465 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 1: he's a tax guy. He should have known that was well. 466 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 1: He still ended up profit. One could argue that the 467 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 1: risk to gain was a little out of whack, but 468 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 1: he won, so what the heck he knew what he 469 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 1: was doing. 470 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:17,439 Speaker 2: He was one anyone. 471 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 1: Uh A couple of trends allegedly that make me want 472 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 1: to either pluck my eyes out or or burn burn 473 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: the world down or I don't know, how would plucking 474 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 1: your eyes out help the situation I used just as 475 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 1: a show of my frustration, Katie. 476 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:33,119 Speaker 2: This one kind of goes out to you. 477 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 1: I've got another one coming up that really makes me 478 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 1: want to commit mass murder, but I'm not a man 479 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 1: of violence, so I'm not going to. 480 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,880 Speaker 2: I never would makes you want to commit mass murder. 481 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 2: All right, we're gonna start with this one though.
