1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 1: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child 2 00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:07,480 Speaker 1: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador 3 00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:11,840 Speaker 1: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with 4 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 1: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just 5 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,680 Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President 6 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,320 Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy nom the United States 7 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border 8 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 1: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over 9 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you 10 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 1: are here illegally, your next you will be fined nearly 11 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 1: one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned, and deported. You will 12 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: never return. But if you register using our CBP home 13 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 1: app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally. 14 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws, 15 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: border and families will be protected. 16 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 2: Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security. 17 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 3: What were your five biggest takeaways from the decision of 18 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 3: rating agency Fitch to downgrade US debt from the highest 19 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 3: rating of triple A to double A plus and does 20 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 3: this cause you to be concerned as an investor. 21 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 4: It was interesting to see this come out twelve years ago. 22 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 4: I remember when the S and P Global downgraded the 23 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 4: United States. Fitch is maybe the second, our third biggest 24 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 4: in that ratings game. But a few things that we 25 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 4: talked about before, Like the biggest takeaways I had is 26 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 4: our debt to GDP. 27 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 5: Ratio is too high. 28 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 4: If we're looking and we owe as a country thirty 29 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 4: one point four trillion dollars and debt, we're now in 30 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 4: the brink of Americans losing Social Security if you're under 31 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 4: the age of fifty. Our overall fiscal policy is a 32 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 4: absolute disaster. Higher interest rates, and that when we got 33 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 4: off quantitative easing as a part of this as well. 34 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 5: But even Bill Acklin said he's now. 35 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 4: Shortening thirty year treasuries for everyone in Sniper that would 36 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 4: be the equivalent of ZB And the truth is like, 37 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 4: we have to do a lot better job of managing 38 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 4: our debt. And the truth is like our leadership politically 39 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 4: has failed us so bad over the last. 40 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 5: Twenty years to put us in this position. 41 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:22,959 Speaker 4: If I'm going to be very honest, if I'm doing 42 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 4: a SWAT analysis, which is like the strengths and weaknesses. 43 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 4: We haven't had great leadership in a long time. And 44 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 4: if you take out quantitative easing, the presidency of Barack Obama, 45 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 4: which I know certain people will have an issue with 46 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 4: his reign as president, we've really been in trouble collectively 47 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:45,239 Speaker 4: as a country since nineteen ninety seven. Financially, rasha to 48 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 4: bring it up from time to time, but like tech 49 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 4: had a flat decade, and what really exacerbated excuse me, 50 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 4: or got us out of that crisis was quantitative easing, 51 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 4: and then we saw this miraculous tech boom from the 52 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 4: time Barack Obama gote and it started to taper off 53 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,679 Speaker 4: around twenty twenty. But if we didn't have those two 54 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,079 Speaker 4: things in place, who knows what we'll be. We probably 55 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 4: could have been the equivalent of Japan of having like 56 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 4: a flat two decades. Sweden, Norway, Australia did Mark have 57 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 4: amazing balance sheets. In comparison, we are leading the world's 58 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 4: race and having the most debt and we need to 59 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 4: borrow two trillion dollars in the next. 60 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 5: Two quarters to pay our bills. 61 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 4: So when I say our country is broke and the 62 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 4: positives are yes, amazing stock market, you probably have some 63 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 4: of the best opportunities here compared to other countries. I 64 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 4: think that leader is slowly diminishing. But I think we 65 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 4: need much better leadership politically. 66 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 6: Yeah, but now I was gonna say, I mean, that's 67 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 6: kind of like what the agency was saying. Like if 68 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 6: you even read their quote, it was one of the 69 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 6: reasons for the downgrade, the number one thing except was 70 00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 6: the repeated debt and the political standoffs and last lasts, 71 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 6: and so we've seen these Hey, the government's gonna shut down, 72 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 6: government's gonna shut down. 73 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean at the last minute, I will. 74 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 8: Figure it out, but there might be a time where 75 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 8: they don't figure it out. 76 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 4: That's really I was talking to my mom about this 77 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 4: the other day. But let's go back to nineteen seventy. 78 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 4: What presidents would you have run your company or a 79 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 4: major company that were president over the last forty or 80 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 4: fifty years. It shouldn't take that long to answer, Like, Congress, 81 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,479 Speaker 4: I think we need to I think we're shot. You 82 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 4: brought this up a couple of weeks ago. There needs 83 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 4: to be an age limit on how long you can 84 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 4: be in Congress as well. I think some of the 85 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 4: leadership decisions that are being made would not be made 86 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 4: if we had more thirty year olds, forty year olds 87 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 4: and fifty year olds there. I know everyone dragted Nancy 88 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 4: Pelosi over the coldest for our stock and trade and 89 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 4: investment insights and returns that. 90 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 5: She's able to get, but I think we need a 91 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 5: complete overhaul of our political system because things are not 92 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 5: going well. 93 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 4: I know some people are going to argue that the 94 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,599 Speaker 4: rating agency doesn't matter, but I think in combination with 95 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 4: real estate going up as quickly as it did over 96 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 4: the last three years, we're going to hover around five 97 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,239 Speaker 4: to eight percent for the next seven to eight years 98 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 4: for the overall interest rates. This is going to drive 99 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 4: It's feeling like two thousand and seven. I remember when 100 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 4: I was in Atlanta in two thousand and seven and 101 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 4: Norcross and Alpharetta, and everyone was like, Yo, everything's going 102 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,359 Speaker 4: to be fine. And it took an act of God, 103 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 4: damn near to make the recession go away, and business 104 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 4: was a lot slower. And if we don't fix this 105 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 4: very soon, I think we can go back to a 106 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 4: much slower economy. I know we talked about it last week. 107 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,840 Speaker 4: Shout out to dbs Maul, I appreciate you. He'll drop 108 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 4: a lot of money bags in the comments, but there's 109 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 4: not a lot of people that have a lot of 110 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 4: money that is freely flowing around, and businesses are getting tighter. 111 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 5: And we'll talk about Apple later. 112 00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 4: Even Apple started to suffer slower iPad and iPhone sales 113 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 4: as a result because money is not flowing around. So 114 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 4: if we do not turn this around, it's going to 115 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 4: be an issue. I'll say this and wrap it up. 116 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 4: But I do think if we have a president that 117 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,359 Speaker 4: poses a real solution to some of these problems, he 118 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 4: could probably want to be one of the greatest superheroes 119 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 4: of this century. Because no one I hear on a 120 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 4: not Divivak, not Trump, not Robert F. Kennedy, not Biden. 121 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 4: I don't hear anyone talking about a real solution. So 122 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 4: for all the politicians that listen, man, if one of 123 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,119 Speaker 4: you gets on a platform like this one or invest 124 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,799 Speaker 4: that so market mondays and give people an actual solution 125 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 4: and tell people the truth about what it's going to 126 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 4: take to turn the country around. 127 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 5: You are there to be a dictator. 128 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 4: But I don't see anyone in the political landscape that 129 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 4: is willing to do so. But when I'm looking forward 130 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 4: to edge on what we need. We need a fearless 131 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 4: leader that can rally not only the citizens, but senators 132 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 4: and congressmen to have changed come about. 133 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 7: So does this affect us from an investor standpoint? 134 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 8: Right is absolutely, But from the standpoint like if we're 135 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 8: looking at politics, this doesn't mean we've seen there hasn't 136 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 8: been by partisanship for we could say last ten years, 137 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 8: but for the past five it's been terrible. 138 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 7: It's been absolutely terrible. 139 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 8: I don't see any let up on this, and so 140 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 8: can we can we say that this can We're only 141 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 8: getting downgraded in the first in the first agency. 142 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 7: Can you see it happening in SMP and Moodies as well? 143 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 4: Absolutely? I mean SMP was the one who did twelve 144 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 4: years ago. And if Moody does it, which is one 145 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 4: of my favorite stocks ticker MCO. So you guys can 146 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 4: watch that and put that in your watch list, but 147 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 4: if they do it as well, it's really just saying 148 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 4: what I've. 149 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 7: Earnest, what's up? 150 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 9: You ever walk into a small business and everything just 151 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 9: works like the checkout is fast, the receipts are digital, 152 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 9: tipping is a breeze, and you're out the door before 153 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 9: the line even builds.

The business fundamentals 200 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 4: of the country is now. If I was to look 201 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 4: at the United States of America like a company, what 202 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 4: is this benefit really? Technology and some of the exports 203 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 4: that we do have great? Who is the CEO? Biden 204 00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 4: would be CEO? Is he the best? What are some 205 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,439 Speaker 4: of our weaknesses? And we have a bunch of industries 206 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 4: and a bunch of countries trying to team up at 207 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 4: one time to take us down. 208 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 5: There are some changes that need to be made. 209 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 4: So yeah, Tuesday through Friday of last week the market 210 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,599 Speaker 4: fell apart, like Apple went from one ninety something to 211 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 4: one fell four percent and one day. 212 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 5: That's not because of the earners report. 213 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 4: People are being a lot more And I always go 214 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 4: to Troy, like to Rashad's example. So whenever you tell 215 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 4: Rashad about investment, he's gonna We'll tell me how it 216 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 4: won't work. It reminds me a lot of my dad. 217 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 4: My dad doesn't want to hear about any of the upside. 218 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 4: Tell me what can go wrong. One of the things 219 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 4: that can drag tech and a nastack down dramatically is 220 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 4: these ratings. 221 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 5: And then if they. 222 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,559 Speaker 4: Start telling the truth about how our economy is doing. 223 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 4: This is just one rating agency that most people never 224 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,559 Speaker 4: heard of, and the market fell five percent. I imagine 225 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 4: if they come out and just say, yeah, without quantitative Eason, 226 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 4: we wouldn't have done well. We don't have a plan 227 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 4: to fix it because I'm not hearing many people pose 228 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 4: many solutions. That's why I think like Market Monday's the 229 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 4: show markut Monday's Live the Best that'st is so important 230 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 4: because you're going to get a chance to hear from 231 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,199 Speaker 4: billionaires and millionaires that are like. 232 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 5: Actively trying to fit some of these solutions. 233 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 4: But it definitely will affect us because if Yellow the 234 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 4: trucking company went out of business, Disney's having trouble. When 235 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 4: I when it did my analysis earlier, Disney only has 236 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 4: like a thirty seven percent excuse me, less than two 237 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 4: percent chance of going out of business, But ten years 238 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,679 Speaker 4: ago it was less than zero point three percent that 239 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 4: they zero point zeros are three percent that they could. 240 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 4: America I won't say is in a decline phase, but 241 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 4: it is. The economy is a lot softer than we 242 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 4: needed to be. And the truth is, we talked about 243 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 4: it before. There are a lot of jobs that are available, 244 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 4: but they are not high pain. And even when I'm 245 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 4: seeing travel internationally, I asked at the front, ask them 246 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 4: like how are sales? One of my favorite questions to ask, 247 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 4: and down sixty percent year of a year. We're the 248 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 4: customer base four turks. So if we're going most people 249 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,679 Speaker 4: are hurting. Rent is going up, mortgages are going up. 250 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,960 Speaker 4: This is definitely going to be a tougher time and 251 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 4: we need leadership to come in and fix us. But 252 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:11,719 Speaker 4: I definitely want to ask you guys, what do you think? 253 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 4: Because you're traveling around, you're talking to different people. Got 254 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 4: an amazing episode coming out Friday. We'll love to hear 255 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 4: their thoughts on economy. But but how do you guys feel 256 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 4: about this writing? 257 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think that it's a tremendously big deal 258 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 3: in the grand scheme of things, but when it's not, 259 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 3: it's not beneficial. That's why I always look at life like, 260 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 3: you know, some like it's like, okay, should we do 261 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 3: a commercial for market Mondays. It couldn't hurt, It might not, 262 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 3: might not be, might not be the most beneficial beneficial, 263 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,559 Speaker 3: but couldn't it couldn't hurt. And then it's like, all right, well, 264 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 3: if the audio is extremely bad on Market Mondays, right, 265 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 3: people still probably tune in, but it can't help. 266 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:00,599 Speaker 5: Yeah. 267 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 3: I mean like sometimes that's how I look at life, like, 268 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:09,359 Speaker 3: it can't be beneficial for America or for the economy. 269 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 3: It might not be the tipping point that's going to 270 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 3: break it at the stock market, but it's not helpful. 271 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 3: And you know, if this starts a trend and you know, 272 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 3: people become more and more you know, scary and weary 273 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 3: about you know, America's ability to pay back its loans, 274 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 3: that's never beneficial. So I think that I'm not one 275 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 3: hundred percent worried about this right now. I don't think 276 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 3: it's too big of a deal, but it is something 277 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 3: to at the very least be aware of and to 278 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 3: monitor because it's not something that you want to you know, 279 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 3: continuously go down. 280 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 7: It's this slope of getting downgraded. Yeah, I will add 281 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 7: just briefly to that. 282 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 8: I mean when we think of the word credit and 283 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 8: we think about even from a personal standpoint, and I'd 284 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 8: like to rely on that because it just means how 285 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 8: trustworthy are you? Yep, right, Like from a personal standpoint, 286 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 8: from a country standpoint, you're talking about the leader, and 287 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 8: from a global economy the United States, how trustworthy are 288 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 8: we if we continue to have so much debt and 289 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 8: our GDP is not matching or keeping up pace with that. 290 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 8: And so we name the non countries that have triple 291 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 8: A ratings, so you know, number one thing it tells 292 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 8: you is that these people are going to be trusted 293 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 8: and so what will business look like going forward for 294 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 8: those countries? 295 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 7: And how do we get back to that standpoint? 296 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 8: I know we sat from a political standpoint, that's the 297 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 8: first piece, but that's just one thing, right, Like the 298 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 8: political part is one part. 299 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 7: But how do we pay off the debt? 300 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 8: Like the piece putting the pieces in place are important, 301 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 8: but what is the action plan to actually alleviate some 302 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 8: of this debt? Because it hasn't it's only going up 303 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 8: over the past five ten years. 304 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, Trumack made the point, like we still 305 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 4: are the number one country, have the number one currency, 306 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 4: and what our investors alternatives with. The alternative is to 307 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 4: do nothing. You don't have to park your because like 308 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 4: a lot of foreign entities don't want to buy our 309 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 4: debt at this current rate. 310 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 5: Option is to put it elsewhere. 311 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 4: Like that's why we talked about the Saudi's and shout 312 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 4: out to whoever made the opinion piece talking about shit, 313 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 4: the Saudis go after Lebron after we talked about it 314 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 4: last week. I appreciate you, but give us credit. But 315 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 4: the option is to always do nothing. Like private equity 316 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 4: and like the top tier firms are very good at 317 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 4: putting their powder on the side and winning for the 318 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 4: right opportunity. And I keep saying that there shouldn't be 319 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 4: seven companies that are ruling the returns of twenty twenty three. 320 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 4: I mean, if you want to dice it down to 321 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 4: international companies as well, and maybe like fourteen companies overall 322 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 4: that are just like consistently dominating out of six thousand stocks. 323 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 4: If that isn't a sign that our credit is weakening 324 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 4: and that the economy is in the stable as it 325 00:16:58,320 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 4: should be, I don't know what it is, but. 326 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 5: Stay tuned. 327 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 4: And that's why I always say you have to invest 328 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 4: in the best companies because they'll provide your return regardless 329 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 4: of what the market is giving you at the time. 330 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 8: So how will they refinance the debt? That'll be the question. 331 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:17,160 Speaker 5: It's gonna be tough. 332 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 1: We'll see an illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping 333 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 1: a child in Massachusetts, an MS thirteen gang member from 334 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:30,160 Speaker 1: Al Salvador accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan 335 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 1: charged with filming and selling child pornography in Michigan.
