00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 2: Welcome in July fourth edition of Clay Travis and Buck

Speaker 2: Sexton Show.

5
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: July fourth week edition.

6
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 2: I am down on the Gulf of America for what

7
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:24,959
Speaker 2: should be one heck of a celebratory experience surrounding the

8
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 2: very first fourth of July on the Gulf of America

9
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 2: and all weekend long, it just felt to me like

10
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 2: everything continued to break in Donald Trump's direction, and we

11
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 2: are living in a pretty phenomenal.

12
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 1: Timeline right now.

13
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 2: Updating you on the big stories over the weekend, the

14
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 2: big beautiful bill nearing its passage in the United States Senate.

15
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 2: We will talk with Senator Ron Johnson, who was one

16
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 2: of the last to flip and support this big news

17
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 2: in terms of the twenty twenty six elections, one of

18
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 2: the two individuals who voted against this bill, effectively Senator

19
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 2: Ran Paul One of the others, but Tom Tillis, who

20
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 2: was going to face a very difficult race in the

21
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 2: United States Senate in North Carolina, Republican Senator there is

22
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 2: not going to run for re election, so there will

23
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 2: be a big primary probably, although I would imagine whoever

24
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 2: Trump endorses, and there's some talk that Laura Trump, his

25
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 2: daughter in law, who was involved with the RNC, might

26
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 2: decide to step forward in that race, which will be

27
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 2: a big battleground and one of the top targets. Regardless

28
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 2: even if Tom Tillis was going to run North Carolina

29
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 2: battleground state, Democrats are going to feel like they have

30
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 2: a chance to win that Senate seat and try to

31
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 2: make a run at the fifty three forty seven margin

32
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 2: that Republicans have right now.

33
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: So that is big news.

34
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 2: The Mom Donnie fallout in New York City continues to build,

35
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 2: but I would say overall, even CNN I saw had

36
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 2: a Michael Schmerconish big discussion about how Trump is winning

37
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 2: on levels that we have not seen before. As we

38
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,519
Speaker 2: are speaking to all of you on Monday, stock market

39
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 2: to another all time high, buck, these are winning times,

40
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 2: and I gotta be honest, it feels pretty good.

41
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 3: Clay. There's one thing I think we left out of

42
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 3: the winning parade there that I want to throw for everybody. Well,

43
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 3: there's a few things we could talk about, but one

44
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 3: important one, because I know you're somebody who follows us

45
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 3: very closely, and let's just say, your trip to the

46
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 3: Gulf of America more economical than it would have a

47
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 3: couple of years ago. Gas price is my friend, Remember

48
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 3: the first thirty days of the Trump administration. Why hasn't

49
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 3: he brought prices down? Look how expensive eggs are? Trump

50
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 3: is lying? Remember all that here we have and that's

51
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 3: how they sound. By the way, that's that's how all

52
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 3: the guys reporting on it sound. It's actually a perfect

53
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,519
Speaker 3: representation of their voice. Here is on Good Morning America

54
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 3: reporter Goo Benitez on gas prices. Play it.

55
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 4: There is some good news, and that's good news because

56
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 4: most people traveling right now are traveling by road. Gas

57
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 4: prices three eighteen a gallon right now. That's the national

58
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 4: average for regular unleaded Last year that was three p

59
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 4: forty nine a gallon, so significantly lower.

60
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 3: So some good news if you're hitting the road, Clay.

61
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 3: It's the lowest that it has been in quite some time. Actually,

62
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 3: the gas price, isn't it fascinating? Donald Trump comes into

63
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 3: office and gas prices drop down quite a bit. Lowest,

64
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, the lowest, since I wanted to make sure

65
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 3: twenty twenty one lowest gas price in four years. Everybody

66
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 3: I think that's just a marker here, because you know,

67
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 3: if the gas price was the highest it had been

68
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 3: in four years, Clay'd be the number one story going

69
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 3: into Independence Day weekend.

70
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 2: No doubt, it's actually the four year low for summer,

71
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 2: because inevitably somebody's going to come out there and they're

72
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 2: going to be like, well, actually they were low. Yes,

73
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 2: gas prices, as everybody knows, for Independence Day weekend, the

74
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 2: lower summer years, and a lot of you will remember

75
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 2: down twenty twenty two. Summer was the absolute apex of

76
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 2: Biden inflation, and gas prices were out of control in

77
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 2: the summer of twenty twenty two. I noticed this in

78
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 2: a big way because I just drove. I just drove

79
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 2: from Nashville down to the lovely Gulf of America here

80
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 2: and along the way, I take note of what the

81
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 2: price of gas looks like. And you mentioned that clip

82
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 2: which includes the crazy prices that people have to pay

83
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 2: for gas in states like California, where they are taxing

84
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 2: you like crazy on gas.

85
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: Everywhere I drove.

86
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 2: Tennessee, Alabama, and Florida, all the gas prices unleaded are

87
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 2: under three dollars a gallon, sometimes as low as like

88
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 2: two sixty to fifty, even with the summer hike that

89
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 2: always happens because so many of you are going to

90
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 2: be on the road. So yes, you're one hundred percent right.

91
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 2: They tried to make egg prices a big story. Egg

92
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 2: prices are lower than when Trump came into office. Now

93
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 2: uh and uh and and people are recognizing. And by

94
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 2: the way, the reason that egg prices went up so

95
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,799
Speaker 2: much was because the Biden team decided to kill over

96
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 2: the bird flu fears. So many different, so many different

97
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 2: of the of the animals out here that are laying

98
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 2: the eggs.

99
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 3: Killed chickens.

100
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 2: They killed a lot of chickens. And now now the

101
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 2: gas prices are down. What is We talked about this

102
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 2: a little bit, but maybe we can get the clip

103
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 2: from Trump's press conference on Friday where he was directly

104
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 2: asked about this. As one so called expert economist is

105
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 2: now saying, actually, the impact of the tariffs on overall

106
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 2: inflation seems to not have emerged. They keep saying, Oh,

107
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 2: you're going to see this in a month, or you're

108
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 2: going to see this in two months. And we're sitting here.

109
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 2: When was Liberation Day so called early April? If I remember,

110
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 2: we have not seen any increase in prices by and

111
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 2: large associated with the tariffs, and now people are starting

112
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 2: to say, wait a minute, this is going to be

113
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 2: a four hundred or five hundred billion dollars net proceeds

114
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 2: to the government. And the overall prices are not increasing.

115
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 2: To your point, the average price that people are paying

116
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 2: for groceries, the average price egg, specifically gas, all of

117
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 2: it is down compared to in the Biden era. And

118
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 2: we have to also remember that while there's no inflation

119
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 2: from the tariffs, according to Secretary of the Treasury Vessened,

120
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 2: we also have very high rates right now. And the

121
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 2: Fed chair Jerome Powell, they're starting to say out loud

122
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 2: in the Trump administration, time for a successor at a pal.

123
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 2: If you get a start to get a substantial drop

124
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 2: in rates, that'll add some rocket fuel to the economy,

125
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 2: which will also help. But so we're already at all

126
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 2: time behind the stock market. Your four oh one k's

127
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 2: are absolutely cruising your pension plans because remember the pension

128
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 2: plan that you have that also requires a return in

129
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 2: the market based on.

130
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 3: The capital pool. So if you've got retirement anything, the

131
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 3: market being really high is what you want to see,

132
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 3: and so we're looking at the possibility of I think

133
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 3: an even stronger economy going forward. You know, Canada said

134
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 3: it was going to have a digital services tax on

135
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 3: tech firms in the US. Getting a little frisky with

136
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 3: US over the trade negotiations, Trump said, you know what,

137
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 3: no more negotiations with you guys, and you're gonna get

138
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 3: hit with some big time tariffs. Guess what, Clay, they're

139
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 3: tough talk from Canada on the digital tax line about

140
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 3: seventy two hours and now here they are backing off

141
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 3: of that one, saying, you know what, we should talk.

142
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 3: We should talk on the tariff thing specifically. I just

143
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 3: want to add it's one thing wheneveryone who hates Trump

144
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 3: opposes something, because they'll oppose anything. Right. Trump can say, hey, guys,

145
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 3: I want to put one hundred billion dollars toward during

146
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 3: all forms of terminal cancer, and there'll be lunatic Democrats

147
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 3: who are like, they won't really spend the money on this.

148
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 3: It's all going to go to Trump's family member. You know,

149
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 3: they'll just they'll find some way to hate whatever it

150
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 3: is he says on tariffs. There was a lot of

151
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 3: dare I say the conservative orthodoxy on this was opposed

152
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 3: to Trump. You know, the old school National Review. Oh

153
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 3: what about Milton Friedman and William F. Buckley, et cetera.

154
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 3: They were opposed to him on this. And it turns

155
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 3: out it looks like Trump was right, even in the

156
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 3: face of a lot of people on his own team

157
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 3: who were rooting for him saying that this was going

158
00:08:58,920 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 3: to cause problems.

159
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 2: And here's a cut from the Friday news conference proving

160
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 2: that there is starting to be a reassessment. And I

161
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 2: would say in general that in the wake of COVID,

162
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 2: and I think you're probably the same as me, buck

163
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 2: my willingness to blindly accept expert opinion is basically at zero. Yeah,

164
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 2: because they're wrong on so many things that they're supposed

165
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 2: to be experts on. And here is that that question,

166
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 2: as one of the top economists has now said, looking

167
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 2: at the data, hey, and I give them credit for

168
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 2: being willing to acknowledge, Hey, maybe I was wrong. There

169
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 2: has not been any inflationary price pressure based on the tariffs.

170
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 2: And here is that question from Friday's news conference with Trump,

171
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 2: cut twenty five.

172
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: I believe let's play.

173
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 2: It, mister President.

174
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 4: A leading global economists just at a one to eighty

175
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 4: and says, your tariff plan you may.

176
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: Have as smart everybody with it.

177
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 3: So what is your message? I love this. I love

178
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 3: this question is a favorite.

179
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 5: This is the best question I've ever been asked, because

180
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 5: I've been going through abuse for years on this, mister,

181
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 5: because as you know, we're taking in hundreds of billions

182
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 5: of dollars no inflation, and.

183
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 2: He continued there, but I mean, this is the reality

184
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 2: when you look at what the data has shown so far,

185
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 2: it is that. And it makes some sense that price

186
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 2: competition is so intense in the United States that many

187
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 2: of these businesses don't have the capability to raise prices

188
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 2: right now. And frankly, as many of you know, they

189
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 2: used the Biden era inflation as an opportunity to massively

190
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 2: raise prices because everything was going up, and they also

191
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 2: shrunk the amount of product that you're often getting in

192
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 2: the prices in the process. Go look and right now,

193
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 2: because the economy is rolling and there is massive price pressure,

194
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 2: in fact contraction in many different things that you buy,

195
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 2: they have not been able to actually do what everybody

196
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 2: told you they would do, which is raise prices on

197
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 2: a substantial lay level to make the consumer cover the

198
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 2: inflation costs so far that is non existent.

199
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 3: If you're Trump, would you listen to any of these

200
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 3: so called experts ever again, who are all shouting at

201
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 3: you that they are econ models show that he's wrong,

202
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 3: You know, really like you know, if I'm Trump, I'm

203
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 3: just gonna say, you guys, shut up. I'm doing what

204
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 3: I'm doing for the next few years. You know, Trump's

205
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 3: going to be eighty years old soon. He's been to

206
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 3: the mountaintop. He knows what's going on here. He does

207
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 3: not need the chirping in his years from the economists.

208
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 3: Economists in quotes, what does it even mean. It's like

209
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 3: when people refer to consensus opinion on anything without actually

210
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 3: telling you who the consensus is. So I think Trump

211
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 3: is once. Remember we talked about this on China and

212
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 3: how everybody said he's going to start a trade war

213
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,599
Speaker 3: with China, and then he was so successful actually with

214
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 3: China that Biden didn't even mess with the China stuff

215
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,719
Speaker 3: that he did because everyone realized he was right. This

216
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 3: looks like another one of those moments, which is a

217
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 3: big win for Trump. That's why he was he was

218
00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 3: strutting his stuff in that SoundBite. You played because you

219
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 3: know no doubt.

220
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:02,839
Speaker 2: And also, I mean, I think it speaks to the

221
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 2: fear of challenging conventional wisdom in the so called expert class.

222
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 2: Nobody wants to step outside and be noticed by doing

223
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 2: something outside of the herd. It's human nature in many respects,

224
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,199
Speaker 2: but what you see as a herd of opinion, and

225
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 2: it can't be the case that everyone uniformly agrees on

226
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 2: a dynamic situation that is very difficult to predict. But

227
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 2: being wrong, the fear of being wrong is actually more

228
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 2: prevalent in most of these people than the risk of

229
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 2: being right.

230
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 3: You know, you're also getting we're all getting a real

231
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 3: vision here, real view of what does leadership look like

232
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 3: when you're the leader of the free world, which is

233
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 3: what the president is. What does leadership look like. It's

234
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 3: deciding that you're going to hit the Iranian bunkers, even

235
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 3: though people are shrieking about how it's going to cause

236
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 3: World War three, and being right, it didn't cause World

237
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 3: War three. It's set back the Iranian program and backed

238
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 3: up our Israeli allies. It means starting terariff negotiations. Despite

239
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 3: the so called consensus of economists out there shouting about

240
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 3: how it's going to cause inflation and price rises and

241
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,479
Speaker 3: everything else. This is real decision making with real consequence.

242
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 3: Where Trump has been right, he has been correct, and

243
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 3: I just don't think he gets enough credit. Everyone realizes, Clay.

244
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,199
Speaker 3: You know, he's a he's a political and cultural phenomenon,

245
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 3: and but he is making calls against what the so

246
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 3: called experts and certainly what the what the general momentum

247
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 3: on these issues has been, and he's already show a

248
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 3: huge result. So I think that going into this weekend,

249
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,959
Speaker 3: we all have to remember that this is not easy

250
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 3: stuff he's doing and we're all benefiting from it, and

251
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 3: we need to keep encouraging this sort of leadership and

252
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 3: supporting this kind of leadership, including with the big beautiful bill,

253
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 3: which we're gonna get to here in just a second

254
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 3: with Senator Ron Johnson. You know, I was at the

255
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 3: range this weekend, Clay. I'm now also a range safety

256
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 3: officer certified, so I really act think you are the

257
00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 3: boys down. I mean, I'm trained, i'm insured, I'm all

258
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 3: those things coming up this fall, so it's gonna be

259
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 3: good times. But I was talking to the guys out there,

260
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,319
Speaker 3: so many different law enforcement officers who are there as

261
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 3: well because they want to be able to either for

262
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,719
Speaker 3: training purposes themselves with their team or on their own.

263
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 3: They want to be an rs O rain safety officer.

264
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 3: And one thing we talked about was non lethals. Do

265
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 3: you know what the favorite by far pepper spray brand

266
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 3: of the officers to talk to is because a lot

267
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 3: of them carry the pepper spray Saber. So if these

268
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 3: guys who have to rely on this day in and

269
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 3: day out trust Saber more than anything else, you should

270
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 3: trust Saber too. It is the number one pepper spray

271
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 3: brand trusted by law enforcement. And I've got people telling

272
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 3: me exactly that face to face. Sabre is how you

273
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 3: spell it. Their pepper gel projectile launcher, shaped like a

274
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 3: pistol or a rifle depending on the model, fires off

275
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 3: of pepper gel projectile targeted goes a longer distance than

276
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:53,359
Speaker 3: you'd think, very effective stopping an intruder. Sabers spelled sabre.

277
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 3: Their website is Saber Radio Sabre saberradio dot com. This

278
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 3: is not about getting away from two A or guns.

279
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 3: This is about additional options, non lethal force escalation. Just

280
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 3: like cops have, you can have this too. I've got

281
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 3: a lot of guns. I've also got a lot of

286
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 2: We head up to Washington, d C. Now where Senator

287
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 2: Ron Johnson. I imagine a lot of people are heading

288
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 2: to the lakes up north in Wisconsin for this time

289
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 2: of year when it is spectacular. But you are working, Senator,

290
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 2: and we had you in studio a couple of weeks

291
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 2: ago breaking down the Big Beautiful Bill, and you changed

292
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 2: your vote at the last minute or signed on with

293
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 2: the bill at the last minute. What is the latest?

294
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 2: What can you tell us about where we are compared

295
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 2: to when we talked about talked with you on air.

296
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 6: Last Okay, yeah, I should be trolling for Walleye right now,

297
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 6: but we're here working on the Big Beautiful Bill. Iain

298
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 6: as far as the primary components of this bill, I'm

299
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 6: fully supportive of Right, We're gonna make sure that we

300
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 6: don't have a massive automatic tax increase. That's about that's

301
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 6: about four trillion dollars in the score. By the way,

302
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 6: nobody wants that. Nobody wants to default to our debt. Unfortunately,

303
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 6: Democrats left these enormous messes the open border, so we

304
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 6: have to provide funding for border, the wars, We have

305
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 6: to provide funding for the defense. Massive four year average

306
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 6: just in to one point nine trillion, the seven years

307
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 6: before the pandemic our death at average six hundred and

308
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 6: sixty billion. Four years afterwards under Biden Democrats one point

309
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 6: nine trillion. So again it is true the House provided

310
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 6: us with the spending reduction about historic spending reduction about

311
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 6: one point four trillion, tend to actually is about one

312
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 6: point six. Our difference in our scores is we make

313
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 6: sure the business expensing provisions are permanent versus the short term.

314
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 6: So that's the main difference between the House and the Senate.

315
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 6: Now you know we're hearing from the House, you're not

316
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 6: real happy, and we're short from their math somewhere around

317
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 6: six hundred billion dollars. Rick Scott has an excellent amendment

318
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:22,919
Speaker 6: which was not including the base film, and that was

319
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 6: really the sticking point on the motion proceed We got

320
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 6: the commitment of the leadership to now we offer amendment vote,

321
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 6: but whip it and try and make sure this thing

322
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 6: gets passed. I'm hoping President Trump helps us get this

323
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 6: thing passed because that heady on the date. So here's

324
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 6: what the amendment does. It doesn't kick anybody off of Medicaid.

325
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 6: What it does is it stops enrollment into the Obama

326
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 6: Care addition to Medicaid, which threatens traditional Medicaid for disabled children,

327
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 6: for example. So at some point in time in the future,

328
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 6: we're debating that you just don't allow states to enroll

329
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 6: them under the a nine dollars to one dollar match.

330
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 6: I mean, I think you guys realize that. Right for

331
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 6: a disabled child, for every dollar the state puts in

332
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 6: the Medicaid, the federal government matches it for a dollar

333
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 6: thirty three. But for the Obamacare single working age able body,

334
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 6: childless adults, for every dollars state puts in, federal government

335
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 6: kicks in nine. There's a huge incentive for states to

336
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 6: gain the system provider taxes, provider fees, which aren't healthcare,

337
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 6: by the way, but they get reimbursed nine dollars for

338
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 6: every dollar the states kicks in there. So against it's

339
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,439
Speaker 6: a financing scam. We're trying to end that because it's

340
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 6: causing the Outfloak comes to billions of dollars out of

341
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 6: the federal government. We don't have the money, so that

342
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 6: alone could feel about five hundred billion dollars of that gap.

343
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 6: If we give states until the first part of twenty

344
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 6: twenty nine and the scam I mean, very reasonable proposal

345
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 6: most Republicans support. In the Senate, we've got some holdouts

346
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 6: and that's where we need leadership for pressure people. You know,

347
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 6: there are other things in the build, some extraneous task

348
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 6: credits that you know, one word, thirty seven jillion dollarsand debt.

349
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 6: Do we really have to add task credits for this,

350
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 6: that and the other thing. So again, I think this

351
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 6: is entirely doable. It's going to take the President a

352
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,199
Speaker 6: weigh in, It's going to take Republican leadership to make

353
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 6: sure that we can satisfy the House requirements. And then

354
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 6: when all said and done, this would be the huge

355
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 6: achievement repealing at least the most damaging part of Obamacare,

356
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 6: which was the addition to Medicaid, which puts it risk

357
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 6: the Medicaid for disabled child. I mean, do you think

358
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 6: it's fair that for a disabled child the phedograph kicks

359
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 6: in a Dallas thirty three. But for a working age

360
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 6: person that should be working getting health care from their employer,

361
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 6: we provide nine dollars for everyone. It's just out of whack.

362
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 3: Senator Johnson. People are reading about I think many of them,

363
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 3: if not for the first time. It's certainly a helpful

364
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 3: reminder about the Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth McDonough, who has been

365
00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,239
Speaker 3: in this role since twenty twelve. This is on an

366
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 3: elected office. This is a it's pretty fascinating actually, right,

367
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 3: this started sometime around with the nineteen twenties, nineteen thirty,

368
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,120
Speaker 3: so it's about one hundred years ago. There's somebody who

369
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 3: helps with administrative procedures rules within the Senate. I guess,

370
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 3: like when you guys are allowed to have bathroom breaks

371
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 3: or I don't know, whatever it is. And now there's

372
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 3: somebody who is stripping out parts of the bill like

373
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:27,239
Speaker 3: the NFA National Firearms Act and silencers no longer being

374
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 3: an NFA item because the parliamentarian what is going on here?

375
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 3: And by the way, talk to you about that NFA

376
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 3: silencers or suppressors issue.

377
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:44,640
Speaker 6: Well, I believe that was included. So this is incredibly complex.

378
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 6: I mean, this all has to do with the Budget

379
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 6: Act sets up this reconciliation process where we can reduce

380
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 6: mandatory spending or we cut taxes or increased taxes with

381
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 6: a simple majority vote. Because of that process, the Senator

382
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,919
Speaker 6: Robert Byrd had rules in terms of what would qualify

383
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 6: for that what wouldn't qualify. From my standpoint, the parliamentarian

384
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,159
Speaker 6: has been pretty even handed. When Democrats wanted to include

385
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 6: things or more policy than budget, she didn't allow it.

386
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 6: She's done the same thing here by the way, We've

387
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 6: modified things that she wasn't going to kick out. We

388
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,919
Speaker 6: listened to her instructions, we got it back in. So

389
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 6: I realized that ends up being kind of a bonus contention.

390
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 6: What we don't want to do is eliminate the philibuster.

391
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 6: I know a lot of people want us to, but

392
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 6: the filibuster has protected us from all kinds of massive

393
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 6: Democrats spending programs because in the minority, Republics had the

394
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 6: right to block some of that stuff. So, I mean,

395
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,199
Speaker 6: I realized at the moment, it's like, get rid of

396
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 6: that so we can get everything we want. That would

397
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 6: be pretty short sighted thinking, but yeah, we've got a

398
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 6: way to do this. You know, Rick Scott knows healthcare

399
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 6: like nobody else. So he brilliant proposal doesn't keep anybody

400
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 6: off Medicaid, just ends the Medicaid scam a few years

401
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 6: in the future, gives states, gives propriet writers a chance

402
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 6: to readjust how they're budgeting. Basically, states and providers are

403
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 6: based in their budget off of this financing scam that

404
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 6: has to end. We simply can't afford it.

405
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 2: Where we stand now. I know that Chuck Schumer made

406
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 2: the entire bill be read aloud in the Senate chamber,

407
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 2: and that took a long time. There's talk that Trump

408
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 2: wants to get this thing signed on July fourth. You're

409
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 2: in the Senate right now. What does the timeframe look

410
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 2: like for everybody out there? And where do we go

411
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 2: from here?

412
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 6: Well, we're in the voter rama, so it's unlimited amendments,

413
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 6: so I can't predict how long it'll go. Again, we're

414
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 6: in very close conversation with conservatives in the House. They're

415
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 6: telling us this product right now is debt on arrival.

416
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 6: I actually take them seriously. You know, we kind of

417
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 6: ignored their formula, their math. They looked at this differently

418
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 6: than we did. We're I think about six hundred and

419
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:55,360
Speaker 6: fifty billion dollars short. Now, from my standpoint, I'm I'm

420
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 6: fine it satisfying their requirement again, use Rick Scott's amendments

421
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 6: and in enrollment for new Obamacare nine dollars a one match.

422
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,959
Speaker 6: Those guys can go on to standard Medicaid, get get reversed,

423
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 6: same things as a sable child. Okay, do that start

424
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 6: at twenty twenty nine that say, this is about five

425
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 6: hundred billion dollars. Get rid of some of these extraneous measures,

426
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 6: some of these new task credits that just some some

427
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 6: Republicans center thought, oh this is an important thing. Now

428
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 6: just get work. Thirty seven trillion dollars in death this

429
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 6: is not a time for additional task credits. For jumping

430
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 6: out our task gode further. So, I would have no

431
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 6: problem taking a look this, going look at this and say, okay, no,

432
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 6: we can reduce the deaths at by six hundred and

433
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 6: fifty billion. Not a problem. Again, Politically, you've got constituencies.

434
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 6: You've got people that apparently like to spend money, like

435
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 6: to offer new tax credits, refuse to do what they

436
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 6: promised to do, you know, repeal Obamacare, rip it out

437
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 6: by the root and branch. This is just one route

438
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 6: that is probably the most damaging aspect of Obamacare. And

439
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 6: we've got Republicans now that aren't willing to do it.

440
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,400
Speaker 6: Just where we need presidential leadership, say honor your promise,

441
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 6: get that additional death suit relief, get this past to

442
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 6: the Senate, get this pass to the House, and then

443
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,120
Speaker 6: we really will end up with one big, beautiful bill.

444
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 2: Outstanding stuff, Senator Ron Johnson. We appreciate all the work

445
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 2: you're doing and keep us updated. You can hop on anytime.

446
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: Have great day you too.

447
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 3: Product innovation is critical in business. It gives you that

448
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 3: competitive advantage. Rapid radios walkie talkies are an incredible example

449
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 3: of this. You see, you remember walking talkies, probably even

450
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 3: from when you were a kid. You have those little

451
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 3: walkie talkies, pressed the button you could talk to a

452
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 3: friend somewhere. Well, now imagine those many decades later with

453
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 3: all of the latest souped up technology out there, and

454
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 3: that's what you have with rapid radios. They don't require

455
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 3: any setup. You just pull these walkie talkie push to

456
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 3: talk rapid radios out of the box, You press a

457
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 3: button and boom, you are good to go. One touch connection. Now,

458
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 3: what can you use us for it's perfect to talk

459
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 3: with one employee or two hundred employees that are on

460
00:24:57,920 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 3: the go all at the same time. Also, if you

461
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 3: aging parents, you just want to keep a close, close

462
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 3: ear on if you will you give them some of these.

463
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 3: Remember this works across the country. This isn't just like

464
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 3: somebody down the street. Nationwide, LTE coverage and rapid radios

465
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,520

00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 1: To listen to.

502
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 2: I was listening to some podcasts on my drive down

503
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,360
Speaker 2: to the Gulf of America on Saturdays, in the car

504
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 2: for about nine hours, lots of traffic, and got through

505
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 2: a lot of different cool podcasts, so I know a

506
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 2: lot of you are going to be on the road

507
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 2: and Buck as we went to break at the end

508
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 2: of that first hour, we were talking about some of

509
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 2: the situation that's going on in New York City where

510
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 2: Mom Donnie, this crazy left wing effective communist, has won

511
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:39,640
Speaker 2: the nomination for the Democrat side of the mayoralty. There

512
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:43,160
Speaker 2: has not yet been a decision by Andrew Cuomo about

513
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 2: whether he's going to run as an independent or drop out.

514
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 2: To me, and I'm just kind of assessing this from afar,

515
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 2: the decision has to be Eric Adams versus Mom Donnie.

516
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 2: I think that's the only way Mom Donnie loses if

517
00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 2: there's multiple independents, if you have a Republican nominated like

518
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:04,400
Speaker 2: Curtis Lee while running aggressively, I just don't the more

519
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,679
Speaker 2: opposition there is to Mom Donnie, the better it is

520
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 2: for his likelihood. But I bet you were like me.

521
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 2: Over the weekend, a lot of deep dives into his

522
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 2: videos started to go public, and these are I would say,

523
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 2: truly outrageous perspectives that he has adopted publicly and I

524
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 2: know you've been following it, You've got some you want

525
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 2: to kind of shine a spotlight on.

526
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 3: Jane because I keep hoping that New York is going

527
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 3: to wake up and go through a Juliani Bloomberg Golden

528
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 3: Era again. But you have a lot of people that

529
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 3: know nothing about that era. That's part of the problem.

530
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 3: The people like me who grew up in very dangerous

531
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 3: New York City, and I would people say, oh, no,

532
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 3: it was very dangerous in the seventies. The most dangerous

533
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 3: was the late eighties, early nineties. By the numbers, no question.

534
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 3: Go check it out for yourself. Over two thousand murders

535
00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 3: in New York City when I was in grammar school

536
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety nineteen ninety one, two thousand plus murders. Think

537
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 3: about that, all right. New York City has gotten down

538
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,239
Speaker 3: as low as I think, below three hundred at one

539
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 3: point in the last decades, so massive, massive, And people say, well,

540
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 3: that's just murders. Yeah, but murders are very very solid

541
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 3: proxy for overall pretticly violent crime. But crime in general,

542
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 3: it's tough to hide dead bodies and people are upset

543
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 3: about them. Right. Burglaries don't necessarily get reported or investigated.

544
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 3: I mean there's other things ways you can mess with

545
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 3: the stats, murders or murders. So a lot of people

546
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 3: Clay who voted for Momdani are either too young. You

547
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 3: know he got because he was huge with gen Z,

548
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 3: or they came here in the last fifteen hund and

549
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 3: twenty years. They don't know. They're foreigners who have become

550
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 3: you know, green card holders, or they maybe become citizens.

551
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 3: And now they're saying, oh yeah, I like this guy.

552
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 3: Like what he's saying. He's going to make you know,

553
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 3: he's going to make food cheaper in the kabab stands,

554
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 3: he's going to make groceries cheaper, and he's talking about

555
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 3: all this stuff. Let's get into some of the things

556
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 3: that this guy has had actually said. The Kami mom

557
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 3: Donnie here he is. I mean, we've got so many

558
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 3: of these. I'll start with this one. He talked about

559
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,239
Speaker 3: increasing Well, here, let's do this one. First, billionaires. We

560
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 3: shouldn't even have this is cut seven. We shouldn't even

561
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 3: have billionaires. Play seven.

562
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 4: You are a self described democratic socialist.

563
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 2: Do you think that billionaires have a right to exist?

564
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 7: I don't think that we should have billionaires because Frankly,

565
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 7: it is so much money in a moment of such inequality.

566
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 7: And ultimately what we need more of is equality across

567
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 7: our city and across our state and across our country.

568
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 7: And I look forward to work with everyone, including billionaires,

569
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 7: to make a city that is fairer for all of them.

570
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 3: I hate this so much because we can sit here, Clay,

571
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 3: and we will and make all the arguments about how

572
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,719
Speaker 3: you can take all the money from the I don't know,

573
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 3: one hundred two hundred billionaires whatever it is in New

574
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 3: York City, or a few hundred billionaires maybe maximum. You

575
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 3: could take all the money they have and try to

576
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 3: redistribute it. You wouldn't solve poverty in New York City

577
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 3: for a year, Okay, it wouldn't change it. They're spending

578
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 3: fourteen billion a year just on the illegals in New

579
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 3: York City, fourteen billion a year on special care for illegals.

580
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 3: You think you're gonna seize a few hundred billion dollars

581
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 3: from New York's billionaires, you're gonna fix the problems. But

582
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 3: even beside that, Cly, the whole argument here is just

583
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 3: one about envy. It's one about emotion. This is why

584
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 3: it's so pernicious and why communism keeps creeping up wherever,

585
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 3: you know, wherever there's prosperity in the West, and it's

586
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 3: because it just makes people who are upset feel better

587
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 3: about themselves to think that there's some other person who's

588
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 3: their problem.

589
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 2: Look, I really do think it sums up the flaw

590
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 2: of capitalism is it creates wealth in leisure, which leads

591
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 2: to the illusion that capitalism is unnecessary. And the reason

592
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 2: we have the wealth and the leisure that exists in

593
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 2: this country. And by leisure, I mean you don't have

594
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 2: to constantly be in a mad scramble to have water

595
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 2: or food or the ability to you know, the poor

596
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 2: people in the United States are not actually poor relative

597
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 2: to the standards for what poverty looks like in the

598
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 2: rest of the world. Our poor people, I think one

599
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 2: of the great stats that kind of brings this home.

600
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 2: Even in a country like India, the poorest people in

601
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 2: the United States would be in the top twenty percent

602
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 2: richest in India. That's true for almost every country that

603
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 2: is in the world. The poorest people here would be

604
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 2: among the wealthiest anywhere else. And if you wonder why

605
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 2: people are risking their lives to come through the Darien

606
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,479
Speaker 2: Gap during the Biden era or come across the Rio Grande.

607
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 2: It's because even being poor in the United States makes

608
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 2: you wealthy in.

609
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: Many other countries. And that's an incredible degree that we have.

610
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 3: But the poverty, it comes along with obesity in this country,

611
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 3: which is an excess for example, of food. There's a

612
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 3: correlation between poverty and obesity. There were times actually, like

613
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 3: all of human history, for the laste hundred or so years,

614
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 3: where poverty and starvation were actually what we're correlated.

615
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 2: And actually being fat was a sign of tremendous wealth

616
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 2: because it meant that you had to your point another

617
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 2: all time.

618
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 3: To tell my wife, but she wanted me to get

619
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 3: in shape anyway.

620
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 6: You know.

621
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 2: It was kind of sad if you go back and

622
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 2: look at all the kings, you know in England back

623
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 2: in the day, for instance, when they became super wealthy,

624
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 2: they were often very fat because that meant that you

625
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 2: had the ability to have too much to eat, which

626
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 2: was a rarity. But the billionaire thing to me is

627
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 2: it's it's it's so important for everybody to focus on.

628
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 2: First of all, I want there to be way more billionaires.

629
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 2: I want there to be way more millionaires. I want

630
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 2: the overall pie of economic wealth in the United States

631
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 2: to grow massively, and I want everybody to be able

632
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 2: to feast on economic success, whatever your current status of

633
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 2: life is. But this is so important, and I think

634
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 2: you're a perfect example of this because what this happens

635
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,280
Speaker 2: is and you're going to start to see this in earnest.

636
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 2: I think I would even argue this is a generational

637
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 2: story that you need to put a pin in and

638
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 2: pay attention to. People who have success in life who

639
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:24,280
Speaker 2: have wealth are far more mobile in general than people

640
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 2: who do not have success in life and do not

641
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 2: have great opportunity. Right with wealth comes the ability to

642
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 2: go to different places to relocate your life. And what

643
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 2: a lot of people found out during COVID is they

644
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 2: could move to different parts of the United States or

645
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 2: even the world and they would have never tested it

646
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 2: but for COVID, and they found out, Hey, I can

647
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 2: be running Wall Street from Miami just as well as

648
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 2: I can from Greenwich, Connecticut, or a super luxury pad

649
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:02,399
Speaker 2: somewhere in a high rise bill overlooking Central Park. And

650
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 2: what you are going to see. And I want all

651
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 2: of you to kind of think about this because it's

652
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 2: going to happen La Chicago, New York City. They are

653
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 2: going to increasingly tax the successful people in these communities.

654
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 2: And Mom Donnie is reflective of this, and the successful people,

655
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 2: the most successful people in those communities. You just saw

656
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 2: Ken Griffin Citadel. He just up and said, screw it,

657
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 2: Chicago's not safe. I'm moving all my people to Miami.

658
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 2: You are going to see I just mentioned Buck, born

659
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 2: and raised New York City kid who probably would love

660
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 2: to have stayed in New York City. But you start

661
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 2: to have success and you look at other parts of

662
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 2: the country and they're they're grabbing so much of your

663
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 2: money that at some point you just say enough, I

664
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 2: can't deal with this anymore, even in a city that

665
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 2: you may have grown up in and loved.

666
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, And it's frustrating because you can also see the

667
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 3: recent history of cities that have gone down this pathway

668
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:01,800
Speaker 3: and it is universally a bad idea. It universally creates

669
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 3: more negative things, whether it's crime, disorder, you know, filth

670
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 3: on the streets, economic light from the city is. We

671
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 3: go through this over and over again. But this brings

672
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 3: me back Clay. The reason I'm concerned about Mom Donnie

673
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 3: is that he is good, He is slick, He is

674
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:28,839
Speaker 3: adept at appealing to people's emotions who are frustrated and

675
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,320
Speaker 3: who don't want to even get into the merits of

676
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 3: the argument. They want an excuse. It is the politics

677
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 3: of envy. Somebody else has it better than me, by

678
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 3: the way, you don't even know. I mean, there's some

679
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 3: of the happiest people I know lead some of the

680
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 3: most humble and basic lives, and truly some of the

681
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 3: most miserable people I know have the most money and

682
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 3: the most influence and the most power, and they just

683
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 3: can't escape their daily misery. But put that aside for

684
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 3: a second. And I know that sounds like a cliched

685
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 3: I swear it is true, Okay, I mean I could

686
00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 3: go through chapter and verse. People who have you know,

687
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:04,320
Speaker 3: they're having a very sort of you know not moditor

688
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 3: is not the word I'm looking for. What do you

689
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 3: call modest, very modest life in America? And they're very,

690
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 3: very happy, and people who have incredible lives of extravagance,

691
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 3: and they're truly miserable. But again, aside Clay, this is

692
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 3: the politics of somebody is excusing all of my choices

693
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,240
Speaker 3: and says, they're going to make my problems go away.

694
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:26,479
Speaker 3: And it never works. It never works. It's not going

695
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 3: to work this time. It has never worked before. But

696
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 3: people like to believe this is why socialism is actually

697
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 3: a religion. I mean, communism is a religion. This is

698
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 3: not an economic system because the economics can't work. We

699
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 3: just went through it. You can take all the money

700
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 3: from the rich people in New York, it's not going

701
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 3: to pay for all the poor people stuff forever. It's

702
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 3: not going to make the poor people not poor. But

703
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:50,359
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. They want this, they

704
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:54,320
Speaker 3: feel this, and Momdani feeds it to them, he gives

705
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 3: it to them. He makes it seem like none of

706
00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 3: this is anyone's fault. No one stays in life. Is

707
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 3: the result of choices, no one's It's the system. And

708
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:09,319
Speaker 3: what's going to happen is the system is going to

709
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 3: have a lot less money because when you go dive

710
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 3: into the actual revenue produced by taxation, the billionaires that

711
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 3: Mom Donnie claims shouldn't exist, in fact, if New York

712
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 3: wants to have the best quality of life, they should

713
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:25,399
Speaker 3: have way more billionaires. They're going to leave and then

714
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 3: that's going to create a vicious cycle because you're going

715
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 3: to have to increase taxes in order to try to

716
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 3: replicate the services that the taxes are creating. Now, the

717
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 3: tax dollars are going to leave, They're going to go

718
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:41,399
Speaker 3: to states like Florida, Tennessee, Texas where there's zero state

719
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:45,720
Speaker 3: income tax. I mean, again, this is a generational flaw

720
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 3: of Democrats that I think is going to be exposed

721
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 3: in a big way. And again, if you make a

722
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 3: million dollars, let's say you make a million dollars a year.

723
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 3: Not that many people who make a million dollars a year,

724
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 3: but let's say you do.

725
00:38:56,440 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 2: You're paying one hundred and fifty thousand dollars extra for

726
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 2: the privilege of living in New York City. Okay, if

727
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 2: you make ten million, you're paying one point five million

728
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 2: dollars for the privilege of living in New York. You're

729
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 2: getting up to the high levels above ten million dollars.

730
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 2: Think about even at a million dollars, you can pay

731
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 2: an entire mortgage living in Tennessee or Texas or Florida.

732
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 2: That increases your assets compared to what you're paying. And

733
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:29,760
Speaker 2: people would say, okay, well, there's a benefit to living

734
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 2: in New York City, right, or Chicago or La. I'm

735
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 2: here to tell y'all, I've spent a lot of time

736
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:39,280
Speaker 2: in all these places. It's fun to visit. Uh, there's

737
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,920
Speaker 2: no city in America I would pay one hundred and

738
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 2: fifty thousand dollars extra of my tax dollars to live

739
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:47,840
Speaker 2: in compared to Florida, Tennessee.

740
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 3: Or Texas. Now, you guys, have you guys have good

741
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 3: food in Nashville too. I can't even I can't even

742
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:53,879
Speaker 3: throw shade at some of these other cities thirty years

743
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 3: ago New Yorkers. I'm just telling you guys the truth.

744
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 3: New Yorkers could be like, honestly, we just have better

745
00:39:58,239 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 3: food than you guys. And that was true of most

746
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 3: cities he's in America thirty years ago, maybe even twenty

747
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 3: years ago. Nashville, Charleston, you know, Atlanta. I mean you

748
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 3: just look like you know, Phoenix. These places all have

749
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:12,439
Speaker 3: great food. Now, I mean it's great food.

750
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 2: It's not even cool enough to know good restaurant stuff.

751
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:17,839
Speaker 2: I've never even noticed that, but I am told that

752
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 2: the foody scene for people who love restaurants in a

753
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 2: city like where I live.

754
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 3: Nashville is out of control. Ever, you can't even keep

755
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 3: up well in Nashville. Nashville Punch is way above its way.

756
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 3: But every decent mid size city and above in America

757
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 3: has great food now. So I'm saying some of the

758
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,240
Speaker 3: advantages that New York used to have as a place.

759
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 3: New York, Chicago, and LA used to just have better

760
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 3: job opportunities and better food than most of the rest

761
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 3: of the country. And it's just you can say you

762
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:42,879
Speaker 3: want to live in a rural area, that's great, that's fine.

763
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:44,359
Speaker 3: But if you're looking to work at a top law

764
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:45,879
Speaker 3: firm and you want to go to a Michelin three

765
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 3: star restaurant, those were really in San Francisco too. Those

766
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:50,920
Speaker 3: are really the choices that you had, which is not

767
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:53,280
Speaker 3: true anymore. To your point, you can do these jobs

768
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:53,760
Speaker 3: from wherever.

769
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:54,400
Speaker 1: Everywhere.

770
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:56,880
Speaker 3: It's got great food. You can buy anything anywhere you

771
00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:59,359
Speaker 3: want now thanks to the Internet. But Clay, I mean,

772
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 3: we can make these arguments all day. Here's a stat

773
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 3: one percent of New Yorkers pay fifty percent of New

774
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:08,760
Speaker 3: York City's tax rate. One percent, one in one hundred

775
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 3: people are paying for fifty people. And Mamdani's like that's

776
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 3: not enough. It's unequal. How much more does it have

777
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 3: to be? How much more is there going to be? Look,

778
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 3: this is the problem, friends, is these budgets can get

779
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 3: out of control and the Democrats want to keep spending

780
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:26,839
Speaker 3: us into oblivion. You need to take action. Next week,

781
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:28,359
Speaker 3: the US dollar is going to be at the center

782
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 3: of a debate among nations gathering in Arrea Detionario, Brazil.

783
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 3: The Brick nations are meeting. Okay, now, these nations want

784
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,800
Speaker 3: to move away from the US dollar as the reserve currency.

785
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 3: They're trying to do this slowly, but surely if that happens,

786
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 3: our quality of life takes a huge hit and the

787
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 3: dollar takes a bath, it's going to be rough. You

788
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:50,839
Speaker 3: should prepare for this possibility today and also just diversify

789
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 3: because inflation is going to continue slowly but surely. I

790
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 3: know Trump's doing a great job with it, but in

791
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:57,879
Speaker 3: the next ten to fifteen years going to chip away

792
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 3: at that dollar. How can you protect your eye four

793
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 3: one k? It's on you to take action. By the way,

794
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 3: you can't rely on the government to protect you here.

795
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:06,759
Speaker 3: How can you protect your Irara four o one k

796
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:11,280
Speaker 3: gold with the birch gold group diversify with Birch Gold.

797

798
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 3: uncertainty all throughout history. Birch Gold is who I buy

Speaker 1: Buck.

806
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 2: I saw over the weekend, as you look ahead to

807
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 2: twenty twenty eight, the data on who people would support,

808
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 2: and I just feel like I should make a public

809
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 2: announcement here.

810
00:42:58,080 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 1: Mayor Pete was the leader.

811
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 2: Okay, I just came back from Traverse City, Michigan. I

812
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 2: think Mayor Pete has moved to Traverse City, had a

813
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:08,239
Speaker 2: good choice there. I saw that people are saying, oh,

814
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:12,359
Speaker 2: look he started following the UFC our Buddy Jesse Kelly

815
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 2: had a tweet about that.

816
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 1: Here's the deal.

817
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:21,360
Speaker 2: Mayor Pete is the leading Democrat projected favorite in twenty

818
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 2: twenty eight. Right now he gets zero percent of the

819
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 2: Black vote, zero percent. I feel like we need to

820
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 2: make a PSA to Mayor Pete. Maybe in twenty years

821
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 2: you can be the Democrat nominee.

822
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 1: Black dudes are not voting for a white guy who

823
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 1: is gay.

824
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 2: You have a zero percent chance of actually being the nominat.

825
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 2: Remember when nobody would talk about this. He was having

826
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 2: a great campaign. He did well in Iowa, he did

827
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 2: well in New Hampshire. White Democrats love Mayor Pete. The

828
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 2: fact that he's gay might even help them. Black people,

829
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 2: black men in particular, they're not voting for a gay

830
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:07,280
Speaker 2: white dude.

831
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:08,320
Speaker 1: He cannot.

832
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:11,880
Speaker 2: We went to South Carolina, his entire campaign collapsed. He

833
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 2: went across to the South. All the black people in

834
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 2: the South voting in the Democrat primary a gay white dude.

835
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:20,399
Speaker 2: I don't think a gay black dude would do well.

836
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 2: I don't think a gay Hispanic guy would do well.

837
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 2: I don't think gay people are going to be supported

838
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:27,279
Speaker 2: by most black voters, but a gay white dude is

839
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 2: definitely not.

840
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 1: So what does Mayor Pete do.

841
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:32,840
Speaker 2: He's got all these aspirations to be the next president

842
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:36,240
Speaker 2: of the United States, and nobody else will even address

843
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 2: this on the left because that would require you to

844
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:45,320
Speaker 2: acknowledge that the most prominent bits of homophobia are actually

845
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 2: from black voters in the Democrat Party, and nobody will

846
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 2: even address it because that requires them to honestly assess

847
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 2: what's going on here.

848
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 3: Should we just.

849
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 1: Tell mayor Pete he has no chance of being president.

850
00:44:58,040 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 1: Maybe he could be.

851
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:01,799
Speaker 2: Vice president, but he's not gonna get He's not gonna

852
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 2: win Democrat primary because the black bass will not vote

853
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 2: for a white dude who is gay.

854
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 1: I don't think they would vote.

855
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 2: For a gay guy, period, but I do think that

856
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 2: this is a funny thing. To get zero zero percent

857
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 2: of the black vote is really really funny to me,

858
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 2: and yet he was.

859
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:22,920
Speaker 1: Still the leader.

860
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 7: The law.

861
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:30,919
Speaker 3: Also won't be any effort to push on this, push

862
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:35,359
Speaker 3: back on this from the Democrat powers that be. I mean,

863
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 3: they're not going to say, they're not going to try

864
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:41,759
Speaker 3: to strong arm, if you will, the members of the

865
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 3: black community into voting from a or P. You know

866
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 3: you're not going to see You're not going to see

867
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 3: pushy lectures on MSNBC about this, which I think is

868
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 3: also interesting. So just just put that. Put that aside

869
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 3: for a moment. Notice how quickly the whole Kamala situation

870
00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 3: has faded to as a possibility for the Democrats going forward.

871
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:02,440
Speaker 3: As I've said all along, she's going to be a

872
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:05,919
Speaker 3: provost at a second tier UC school. Just give it time.

873
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 3: She cannot win. They know she cannot win. She's a

874
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:13,400
Speaker 3: horrible politician, and that will become more apparent as time passes.

875
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 3: I think that that's why the Mamdani situation Clay is

876
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:23,480
Speaker 3: interesting because it's an indicator of Democrat base sentiment right now,

877
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:28,440
Speaker 3: which is very strongly with AOC and Bernie Sanders. You

878
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:31,879
Speaker 3: do not see anybody who is a more centrist Democrat

879
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:35,440
Speaker 3: catching fire again with the Democrat base. I'm not talking

880
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:38,400
Speaker 3: about how they would even do nationally, but you have

881
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:40,920
Speaker 3: to win a primary before you'd get further. And you

882
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 3: also want to know who the biggest voices are in

883
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 3: the Democrat Party going into the midterms, and they're leftists.

884
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 3: And the ones that still get attention are Bernie Sanders,

885
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 3: Elizabeth Warren, AOC. What centrist Democrat and I say centrist

886
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 3: in quotes, but you know more mainstream Democrat is getting

887
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 3: That's not even the way to say it. I'm not

888
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 3: even sure you know Purple State Democrat. Maybe you could

889
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:07,320
Speaker 3: say you know somebody who operates someone like a Gretchen

890
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 3: Whitmer who operates as a as a governor in a

891
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 3: purple state. They don't get any attention right now. The

892
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:15,799
Speaker 3: base is not excited about them, and I think that

893
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:20,239
Speaker 3: that's likely to continue. So, yeah, Mayor Pete is not

894
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:23,799
Speaker 3: going to become president of the United States. It's to

895
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:26,120
Speaker 3: me what the data shows you is that there is

896
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:28,320
Speaker 3: the fact that he is the leader of the Democrat

897
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:32,360
Speaker 3: Party in terms of choice right now for nominee. Is

898
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 3: actually just proof positive that there is no leader of

899
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:38,760
Speaker 3: the Democrat Party for the nomination right now. It's totally

900
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 3: an open field.

901
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:44,800
Speaker 2: Also, has there ever been a leader of a party

902
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:50,360
Speaker 2: that has done less in his life than Mayor Pete?

903
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:53,880
Speaker 2: I mean, he was the mayor of Southend in Indiana.

904
00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 2: He was a disaster of a transportation secretary. I'm not

905
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 2: sure that we've ever had a less accomplished person than

906
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 2: Mayor Pete. As I mean, he's still only like forty

907
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 2: two or forty three years old. I think he's a

908
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:11,400
Speaker 2: young guy. But yeah, he has zero chance of actually

909
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 2: being the nominee you mentioned. Gretchen Whitmer. I'm actually reading

910
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 2: the original sin Book. I know, I know, I know,

911
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 2: I am reading the original sin book. I did find

912
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:26,840
Speaker 2: this interesting. The book they say that Kamala, you know,

913
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:29,920
Speaker 2: the public reporting was that it was that Biden decided

914
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 2: he was going to pick a black woman, and so

915
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:34,680
Speaker 2: there was a lot of discussion about who the black

916
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 2: woman he would pick would be. They actually say in

917
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:41,799
Speaker 2: the book that Gretchen Whitmer was the runner up for

918
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 2: Joe Biden in the twenty twenty decision making. If he

919
00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:50,840
Speaker 2: had picked her, she would have run as a much

920
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:54,160
Speaker 2: better contender when they had to bump up the VP

921
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:55,839
Speaker 2: than Kamala did.

922
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 3: Right, huge mistake.

923
00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 2: I mean, she would she would have won, unfortunately, because

924
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:03,600
Speaker 2: I think she's been a bad governor, but she is

925
00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:06,279
Speaker 2: very popular there and look at and wiscon so go

926
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:08,920
Speaker 2: with Michigan probably so go with Wisconsin.

927
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 3: I think. So it would have been very tough, would

928
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:14,839
Speaker 3: have been very tough if she had been the Kamala was.

929
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 3: It would be hard to find a worse choice than

930
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris, given the way that it all played out

931
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:24,440
Speaker 3: with Joe Biden. That's what I mean. It really was

932
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:30,080
Speaker 3: what did she bring to the table California machine party

933
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:31,880
Speaker 3: machine politicians.

934
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 2: She was back all she brought was black women, which

935
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:40,960
Speaker 2: theoretically we're going to vote Biden anyway. But that's the calculus.

936
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:43,960
Speaker 2: I mean, it was the ultimate identity politics calculus. The

937
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 2: same reason sadly Katanji Brown Jackson is on the Supreme Court.

938
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 2: They eliminated ninety seven percent of all lawyers. Basically, I

939
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 2: think black women are three percent of the overall three

940
00:49:55,520 --> 00:50:00,399
Speaker 2: or four percent of the overall legal profession, and they her,

941
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:04,880
Speaker 2: and so she is nowhere near the most qualified Supreme

942
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:08,920
Speaker 2: Court justice. I think similarly, Kamalo was nowhere near the

943
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:11,399
Speaker 2: best choice that Joe Biden could have made, even when

944
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 2: he said I'm going to pick a woman, which I

945
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:18,480
Speaker 2: think was a poor choice to say, like, hey, I'm

946
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 2: eliminating half of all the contenders, because whenever you give

947
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:26,960
Speaker 2: the criteria, you delegitimize whoever you pick. Because you're not

948
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:28,919
Speaker 2: saying I'm picking the best person, you're saying I'm picking

949
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:30,799
Speaker 2: the best woman, or I'm picking the best black woman.

950
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:34,840
Speaker 2: You're automatically making it clear that they're not the best

951
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 2: contender by delegitimizing them publicly in playing that identity politics game.

952
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:43,800
Speaker 2: But I think Gretchen Whitmer, if you go back in time.

953
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 2: If Biden makes that pick, then when he steps down,

954
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:49,920
Speaker 2: she's a far better candidate than Kamalo would have been.

955
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:52,120
Speaker 3: Well, I do like that, And this I'm sure comes

956
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:54,440
Speaker 3: across in the book that you're reading as unfortunate it

957
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:58,439
Speaker 3: is that you are helping to pay the Tapper industrial

958
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:01,960
Speaker 3: industrial propaganda complex. But that's fine, that's fine. I'm glad

959
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:03,600
Speaker 3: one of us is reading. At least one of us

960
00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:06,799
Speaker 3: can reference it from having actually read it. I'm sure

961
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:09,160
Speaker 3: this comes across. There's an assumption. I think that a

962
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:12,440
Speaker 3: lot of people have that. The other side, meaning the Democrats,

963
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 3: are they're always a step ahead, and they're so smart

964
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:18,640
Speaker 3: and they're so crafty. Joe Biden was a dementia patient

965
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 3: and he was done before he had dementia, and he's

966
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 3: making a lot of these decisions. Sometimes they just make

967
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:25,319
Speaker 3: dumb moves. Yeah, And with Joe Biden, they made a

968
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 3: lot of dumb moves. And Biden himself, I should say,

969
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:30,440
Speaker 3: made a lot of dumb moves. There were things that

970
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:33,880
Speaker 3: he did that were not It was not for dchs.

971
00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:36,879
Speaker 3: It was a blunder and they paid the price for

972
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:39,120
Speaker 3: it in this last election in a big way, as

973
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:40,960
Speaker 3: they should have totally.

974
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:44,760
Speaker 2: And I do think it's interesting because I Gretchen Whitmer

975
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:46,560
Speaker 2: is going to think of herself as a contender in

976
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 2: twenty eight. Wes Moore is going to think of himself

977
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:50,920
Speaker 2: as a contender in twenty eight. A lot of these

978
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:54,280
Speaker 2: governors Josh Shapiro are going to try to stay away

979
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:58,960
Speaker 2: from the Washington mess and run as outsiders in twenty

980
00:51:59,040 --> 00:51:59,560
Speaker 2: twenty eight.

981
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:02,640
Speaker 3: And meanwhile, Thrump's walking around right now. This is cut

982
00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 3: too saying it's only taking me six months, but I'm

983
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 3: turning things around and kicking ass and taking names. Play two.

984
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:12,240
Speaker 7: Have you been able to digest what has occurred.

985
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:12,880
Speaker 8: In the last seven days?

986
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:13,560
Speaker 7: Not really.

987
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:16,799
Speaker 8: It was pretty wild period of time. And I really

988
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:19,320
Speaker 8: think in six months we've taken the country and turned

989
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:23,160
Speaker 8: it around. I was told by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,

990
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 8: by the leader of Qatar and the leader of Yuoe

991
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:28,759
Speaker 8: when we went over there, we've worked back five point

992
00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:32,000
Speaker 8: one trillion dollars investment into the United States. They said,

993
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:35,319
Speaker 8: you know, you're presiding now over the hottest country in

994
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:38,240
Speaker 8: the world, and a year ago we thought your country

995
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:41,120
Speaker 8: was dead. It could never come back. It was so

996
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:46,839
Speaker 8: incompetently run by a very band president, and I said,

997
00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:48,240
Speaker 8: you're right. This country is hot.

998
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:53,400
Speaker 3: Country's hot played. It's doing great, very exciting.

999
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:53,880
Speaker 1: No doubt.

1000
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:56,279
Speaker 2: And I think that's one reason why everybody should be

1001
00:52:56,280 --> 00:53:00,439
Speaker 2: excited as we get ready for this celebration of July fourth.

1002
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:01,520
Speaker 1: Everything.

1003
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 2: Even if you're a crazy left wing Democrat, Trump's making

1004
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 2: decisions that are actually benefiting you in terms of the

1005
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:09,399
Speaker 2: direction of the nation.

1006
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:12,520
Speaker 3: Close out with some of your calls, your thoughts, your talkbacks,

1007
00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:15,560
Speaker 3: So throw them in now, get in the mix. Eight

1008
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:18,799
Speaker 3: hundred and two two two eight a two. Since nine eleven,

1009
00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:22,080
Speaker 3: the Tunnel the Towers Foundation has been supporting America's greatest

1010
00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 3: heroes and their families, Heroes who protect our communities and

1011
00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:29,920
Speaker 3: our countries. Hero like firefighter James Dickman. He was passionate

1012
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:32,239
Speaker 3: about fire safety and aspired to do everything in his

1013
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:35,120
Speaker 3: power to keep his community and his fellow firefighters safe.

1014
00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:37,719
Speaker 3: While responding to an apartment fire, James and his crew

1015
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 3: tried to save people who are thought to be trapped inside.

1016
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:43,760
Speaker 3: When the situation escalated, James was not able to escape.

1017
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:46,319
Speaker 3: He perished in the blazing inferno. The cause of the

1018
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:49,360
Speaker 3: fire was arson. James leaves behind his loving wife Jamie,

1019
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 3: and his children, Page and Grant. Tunnel the Towers gave

1020
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:54,640
Speaker 3: the Dickman family the gift of a mortgage free home.

1021
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:57,240
Speaker 3: Jamie is grateful to Tunnel the Towers and to caring
