Speaker 1: night that the process was underway and that they were

9
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: optimistic in the next twelve to eighteen hours that the

00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,400

20
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,680

22
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: wild week of stock market action, and Larry, we appreciate

23
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: you coming on with us. This is the third straight

24
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: day I believe that we have had major economic breakdowns

25
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,199
Speaker 1: in the second hour of the show, which doesn't happen

26
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: all the time. We had an art laugher a couple

27
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: of days ago at this time Stephen Moore yesterday, please

28
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: to be joined by you now. And so mister Cudlow here,

29
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: what would you say to this huge audience out there

30
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: that we should know as we sit here on Friday,

31
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: and the trade war between the United States and Canada.

32
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,759
Speaker 1: You know, in the in terms of like hockey fight,

33
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: both sides have thrown down the gloves right, We've got

34
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,960
Speaker 1: the stare doown going on. The punches are being thrown.

35
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 2: Well, Clay, it really is. It's if you're looking for

36
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 2: a trade war, I guess it's China us. The Canadian

37
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 2: part is pretty quiet right now. In fact, Canada and

38
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 2: their new prime minister. But the name Mark Carney, I know,

39
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 2: the guy, he's the Central banker. Is you want to

40
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,399
Speaker 2: do a deal with Trump? He wants to do a deal.

41
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 2: So that's not the issue. But look what I think

42
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 2: you know, the major point here is Trump is waging

43
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 2: war and fighting back against unfair trading policies and rules

44
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 2: over the past many decades, probably have to go into

45
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 2: the mid to late nineties. And the key point is,

46
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 2: first of all, China was allowed most Favored Nations and

47
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 2: that meant that, you know, we could trade with them

48
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 2: without any legal constraints. And then they ended the World

49
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 2: Trade Organization w T I believe in the year two thousand.

50
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 2: All right, and so what did they do. They basically

51
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 2: had very high tariffs, much higher than ours. Okay, I

52
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 2: mean their average tariff rate was thirty forty percent United

53
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 2: States two and a half percent two point seven. That

54
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 2: disadvantage to us was it? You know, that means we

55
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 2: can't sell to them because their tariffs are so high

56
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 2: and they price out our goods. But they love to

57
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 2: sell to us, and with cheap goods. Their government, you know,

58
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 2: it's a communist country. Their government subsidizes all production and wages,

59
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 2: so they keep the wages low, they keep the production

60
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 2: low because all government subsidized. So they're selling cheap stuff

61
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 2: to us, and we have virtually no tariffs. We can't

62
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 2: and we can't sell to them because they have a

63
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 2: high tariff all right, and and what that did, Their

64
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 2: cheap goods, which went on for twenty five years, did

65
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 2: great damage to America's heartland manufacturing and automobiles and steel

66
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 2: and you know, you name it. And the results show that.

67
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 2: I mean, we lost hundreds of thousands of factories closed,

68
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 2: we lost jobs. So that had to stop, all right.

69
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 2: And the fact is also, you know, it's not just China.

70
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 2: For heaven's sakes. You go around the world. You look

71
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 2: at the EU high taffs, and you know what Trump

72
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 2: calls correctly non tariff barriers, which means regulations like they

73
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 2: can't buy the European Union won't buy a lot of

74
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 2: our food because they have all kinds of crazy regulations

75
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 2: on food. Okay, so that's a non terraff barrier. Or

76
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 2: for example, right now, our social media companies, our face in,

77
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 2: our chechee companies, they're trying to put a tax on

78
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 2: any internet service companies. Okay, so that you know that

79
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 2: has to change. It's a it's an unequal position, it's

80
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 2: not a level playing field, and it's done damage to

81
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 2: our economy. Trump is exactly right here. Now, it's a

82
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 2: hard thing to do. I get that, and I think

83
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 2: his shock therapy. A week ago or ten days ago,

84
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 2: did shocked at financial markets and probably shocked a lot

85
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 2: of ordinary folks. You know, wake up call. The liberal

86
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 2: media is trying to kill him with it. I'm trying

87
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 2: to defend them, all of the bunch of people. I

88
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 2: think he's doing the right and and you know the

89
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 2: most recent point, yesterday, two days ago, he declared a

90
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 2: ninety day pause on the tariffs that we would be

91
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 2: charging other countries. He raised those charges, but he did

92
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 2: it because seventy seventy five countries came to him and

93
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 2: Scott bestin the Treasury Secretary in Jamison Greer, the trade representative,

94
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 2: and said, no, we want to do business. We don't

95
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,679
Speaker 2: want to pay these tariffs. We want to do business.

96
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 2: We want to level the playing field. We want to

97
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 2: make a deal. All right, and right now there's a

98
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 2: bunch of very hot deals on the front burner, Vietnam

99
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 2: and Taiwan and South Korea and India front burnt Argentina

100
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 2: is another one. Even the European Union talked about zero

101
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 2: tariffs on all goods. That won't be sufficient because of

102
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 2: their non tarif perrys. But the point is they came

103
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 2: to us, They didn't go to China. They came to us,

104
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 2: and so Trump suspended his tariff charges, recip tear out charges,

105
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 2: and we're going to make deals. And it's a very

106
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 2: good thing. It's not easy to do. You know. Maybe

107
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 2: it could have been handled a little better, a little

108
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,239
Speaker 2: maybe a little more gradual, but I don't really feel

109
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 2: like second guessing them. Trump's a very good negotiator after that,

110
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 2: you know, after that shock and awe, what did you

111
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 2: call it? Liberation today? I mean, all these countries came

112
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 2: to us, all right, they didn't go to China. What

113
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 2: they want to deal with us?

114
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: Talking to Larry Cudlow here, you can watch him on

115
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: Fox Business. I'll be on with him later this evening

116
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: in the Fox studios. What does a successful trade policy

117
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: with China look like to you? Let's pretend you were

118
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: a mediator. I know you're obviously skewed in favor of

119
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: the United States, but let's pretend you were hired as

120
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: a mediator. You're very knowledgeable economically, and your job was

121
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: to bring a solution to the United States and China.

122
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: What does fair trade policy with China actually look like?

123
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 2: If I were in China mediator, I'd probably resign and

124
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 2: look for another job. That's what I'd have to do.

125
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: But what does a successful trade package look like in

126
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: terms of if we could finally get a resolution, what

127
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: would it look like? From your person?

128
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 2: I was on the China trade team yep, in the

129
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 2: first term. Okay, I spent two years, all right. Our

130
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 2: team leader was Robert Lightheuser Bob Laser, who, by the way,

131
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 2: is a genius on this stuff. Steve Mushan then the

132
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 2: Treasury Secretary. He was handling the financial companies. I was

133
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 2: ANYC director. Wilbur Ross with Commerce Secretary. Wilber was on

134
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 2: the show last night. He and I handled the commodity section.

135
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 2: We had a huge We spent almost two years. We

136
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 2: made a deal was you know, China Trade Deal Phase

137
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 2: one and was signed in early January of twenty twenty,

138
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 2: and it included provisions to stop intellectual property thefts, to

139
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 2: allow American companies to operate in China as American run companies,

140
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 2: not Chinese run companies, so the forced technology transfer would

141
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 2: go away. Anyway, we did this whole deal and they

142
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 2: did not implement any of it. And then, of course

143
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 2: in January of twenty twenty, China already knew that they

144
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 2: were stuck with this COVID disease, this COVID virus, and

145
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 2: they tried to cover it up, and we learned in

146
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 2: the next There were always rumors, and we learned literally

147
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 2: in the next couple weeks in January, that China was

148
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 2: offering from a countrywide virus. And then of course the

149
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 2: rest is history. Now they say they didn't implement the

150
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 2: deal because of COVID Okay, but COVID has been gone

151
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 2: for a couple of years and China has not come

152
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 2: back to the deal. So I'm saying to you, it's

153
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 2: always possible that we could go back and work through commodities,

154
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 2: financial companies, insurance companies, intellectual property sets, forced transfer of technology,

155
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 2: American ownership, lower tariffs, get your tariffs down along with

156
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 2: all the non tariffayers. It's possible we could go back

157
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 2: and conduct a China deal, you know, Phase two, all right,

158
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 2: It's possible. It would look a lot like Phase one.

159
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 2: They'd have to change their laws, which they never did.

160
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 2: By the way, part of that deal was stop producing

161
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 2: the parts for all and other drugs. They promised they

162
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 2: would do that in dinner in Blennis Aires in Argentina,

163
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 2: I was there as a G twenty meeting US China.

164
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 2: The first question Trump asked she was will you stop

165
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 2: producing fentanyl? And would mind you put a capital punishment

166
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 2: on people producing fentanyl? And she without batting, and I said, yes,

167
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 2: we will do that, and of course he lied through

168
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 2: his teeth. Right. This was This was in I don't know,

169
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 2: probably late sometime in late twenty nineteen.

170
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,439
Speaker 1: What do you think nine, No, this is all all

171
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 1: great detail. What do you think we know kind of

172
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: because you know Trump, well, we kind of have a

173
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: sense how Trump is responding. What do you think Chairman

174
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: Z's advisors are telling him right now in China? How

175
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: much do you think they are panicked about where we

176
00:11:55,400 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: are right now? How would you assess leverage negotiating ability here?

177
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: These are the US and China.

178
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:10,719
Speaker 2: Look, the reality in the economy is the United States

179
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 2: with a tariff of one hundred and forty five percent,

180
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 2: the United States is no longer a customer of cheap

181
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 2: China goods. Yep, period, full stop. Okay. That will ruin

182
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 2: an economy that's still reeling from a real estate collapse

183
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 2: bust that happened a couple of years ago, and they

184
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 2: still haven't recoveraging.

185
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:37,959
Speaker 3: Now.

186
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 2: The thing about she is he has economic advisors. By

187
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 2: the way, I knew some of them because we worked well,

188
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 2: and a couple of them were pretty good reformers on MINA.

189
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 2: But she doesn't listen to them. You talk to people

190
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 2: as I have, who are still operating, Americans who are

191
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 2: still operating in China, particularly the insurance industry, which has

192
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 2: a long history in China, American American owns. Okay, they

193
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 2: will tell you that she's in Ping is not just

194
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 2: the head of the Communist Party. He views himself as

195
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 2: as an emperor. As an emperor. They're running pictures and

196
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 2: clips of Maw Say Tong right now. I don't know

197
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 2: if you've seen any of this stuff. One of the

198
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 2: know all time great killers in humanity. She thinks he's emperor,

199
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 2: all right, and he's running the show, and if you

200
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 2: don't do what he wants, you're out. And so I

201
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 2: think it's almost impossible at this point they may be

202
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 2: brought to their knees on economic ground. They still have

203
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 2: a very strong military. They're pouring money into the military,

204
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 2: as I'm sure you know. You know, they had military

205
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 2: exercises circling Taiwan. The minute Pete Hegseth left after his

206
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,199
Speaker 2: meetings in Taiwan. So the military side is very difficult,

207
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 2: and that goes along with the economic side. So I'm

208
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 2: not optimistic about this. But here's the point. We don't

209
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 2: need them. We don't need them, Okay. I know there's

210
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,839
Speaker 2: supply chains that have to be altered. I get that.

211
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 2: But Vietnam, which is a communist country, has become an

212
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 2: American ally. They want to make a deal and they

213
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 2: can produce the same goods that China did. Malaysia the

214
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 2: same story, Cambodia the same story, India the same story,

215
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 2: Korea the same story, Taiwan the same story. It's not

216
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 2: like transshipping anymore, where China would use another country to

217
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 2: get around to terra. They're doing it themselves now. They've

218
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 2: grown up, their economies have grown up. So I don't

219
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 2: think we need them, and I think that she has

220
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 2: gotten boxed in. Trump completely out boxed them on this.

221
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 2: China has nowhere to turn now. I'm reading in the

222
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 2: papers he is going to Europe, okay, to try to

223
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 2: bring them on his side. They won't because they suffered

224
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 2: the same problem. China sends cheap goods, cheap cars, undercutting everybody.

225
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 2: Mercedes been into Europe, and Europe is sick of it.

226
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 2: And Europe is talking about tariffs on China, even Mexico.

227
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 2: All right, China use Mexico to transship well fentanyl for

228
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 2: one thing, but also automobile parts and so forth. Mexico

229
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 2: is slapping tariffs on China. So China can do and

230
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 2: go wherever they want. But right now they're at the

231
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 2: short end of the stick. Trump knows this right, and

232
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 2: he will keep tightening the noose around China. You watch you,

233
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 2: wait and see Larry Kudlow.

234
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: I will see you in a little bit in the

235
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: Fox Business studios. Keep up the good work. Appreciate the time.

236
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 2: Today, you got it anytime, take care of see you

237
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 2: later about it.

238
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, I will see Larry Kudlin put on

239

Speaker 1: Fox Business. You'll see us in the same studio here

240
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: in a little bit. But here in America, we can't

241
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: imagine living under the constant threat of terrorism and rocket attacks.

242
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: In Israel, it's a way of life. Parents taking their

243
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: kids to school suddenly drop to the ground as sirens blair,

244
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: or they rushed to the nearest bomb shelter. In fact,

245
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: we were over there last December, residents told us Israel

246
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: safe except for the terrorism. Think about that for a moment. Recently,

247
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: missile attacks from Hutis, Hasbla and Hamas Forrest's have started

248
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: up again. That's why we're partnering with the International Fellowship

303
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 1: guest before, that you should come on and tell the

00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 6: Well, first of all, Pete heg Seth held my hand

311
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 6: when I was getting my two legs on the show,

312
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 6: and Ainsley Earhart sent me really great advice. So I'm

313
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 6: going to should I just lay it out?

314
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: So just lay it out. And then, by the way,

315
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: for people who don't know, to reinforce if you haven't

316
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 1: gotten enough time with me already this week, I'll be

317
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: on for four hours on Saturday and four hours for

318
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,239
Speaker 1: Sunday with Rachel and Charlie Hurt. All right, so what

319
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: advice did you get?

320
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 6: Okay, So well here's the deal. First, you got to

321
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 6: get a good night sleepy. It took me a long

322
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 6: time to figure out that the best prep for this

323
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 6: show is sleep.

324
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: It really is.

325
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 6: Because it's four hours, it's a marathon. Your brain has

326
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 6: to be fine up, especially when you have amazing color

327
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 6: hosts like Charlie or when I had Will and Pete.

328
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 6: These are sharp people and you got to you gotta

329
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 6: be ready to go. So sweet, Well, okay, take your magnesium,

330
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 6: get a good night sleep, get in there early, get

331
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 6: your hair and makeup done, you know how to do that,

332
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 6: and then come with an appetite because this week and

333
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 6: we have several awesome food segments, so we eat a lot.

334
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 6: We don't think that we eat. We don't just eat.

335
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 6: We often order breakfast and then eat what we're doing

336
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 6: on the segment. So it's an eating show. So bring

337
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 6: your appetite. You're gonna get an eat packet in the morning,

338
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 6: which is like, you know, we have these awesome producers.

339
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 6: Is that amalgamate all the all the news of the

340
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 6: day or and the best stuff that happened the night

341
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 6: before in terms of clips, And so you're gonna read that.

342
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:11,880
Speaker 6: I read it on my way into the office because

343
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,360
Speaker 6: at about an hour drive in in the morning, you'll

344
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 6: probably had a hotel nearby. So take your time read

345
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 6: that and then just sit down and enjoy the show.

346
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 6: You know, Tuck Carlson used to do the weekend Fox

347
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 6: and Friends show, and he would often say that you know,

348
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 6: he did he didn't like to prep. He just likes

349
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,919
Speaker 6: to see it unfold. And I have done shows like

350
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 6: that and I'd like it too. So there's a couple

351
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 6: of ways ways to do it. You can prep for

352
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 6: your segments or you can just watch it unfold before you.

353
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: Okay, we got a bunch. I'm gonna dive into this

354
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 1: in a sec. But you were instrumental. I believe in

355
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 1: getting Buck and Carrie together. Buck is out right now

356
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: because Carrie is having their first ever baby. You've had

357
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,199
Speaker 1: a few babies yourself. Do you want to take a

358
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 1: bow for helping them to get together?

359
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 6: I absolutely will. I am a perennial, hopeless matchmaker, and

360
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 6: I often bring up those two when I brag about

361
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 6: my efforts and my success. I believe the best relationships

362
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 6: these days are not done through apps, but through people

363
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 6: who know you and bring you together, and people who

364
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 6: advise you on like what is a great mate because

365
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 6: they have one themselves. And so I did have those

366
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 6: conversations with her and riccarry and I think that she

367
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:38,679
Speaker 6: took my advice and Buck had all the right qualities

368
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 6: and she was smart and she jumped on it.

369
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: And now they're having a baby, So like you're helping

370
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 1: to make the world's population grow in addition to all

371
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 1: the kids that you and your husband Sean have brought

372
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: into the world. Let me ask you about this, what's

373
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 1: it like to be married to a member of the cabinet.

374
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: How has that been going for you and your family?

375
00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: I actually saw your husband on Air Force one, which

376
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 1: is kind of a cool place to run into somebody.

377
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 1: He was coming back up for the weekend. But what's

378
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: that been like? I mean, you guys have done television

379
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 1: for a long time, You've done media for a long time.

380
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: I know he has the background in Congress too, but

381
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 1: what has being a member of the Trump cabinet been

382
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 1: like for you and your family?

383
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 6: Well, it is different. You know, when you call your

384
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 6: husband here, like I need to tell that there's a

385
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 6: leak in the bostice, I'm about to enter the cabinet meeting,

386
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 6: and I forget that he's doing that. So there's that.

387
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,880
Speaker 6: I think one of the hard parts is we never

388
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 6: get alone time. And what I need by that, Clay

389
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 6: is he now has secret a secret service detail. It's

390
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 6: not as large as Peak, for example, but he is

391
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 6: surrounded at all times, you know, whether he's in the

392
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,959
Speaker 6: car or you know, wherever, and so I just feel

393
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 6: like we don't we can't have these open, honest, you

394
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 6: know kind of conversations we normally have because people are around

395
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 6: and we're just used to having our own privacy like

396
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 6: that every couple does, and so that's really hard for me.

397
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 6: I can't when he get and then he comes in

398
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 6: the door and I want to grab him because I

399
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 6: have like thirty things I want to tell him, and

400
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 6: then the kids also want to grab them and talk

401
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 6: to him about what happened. And so it's just there's

402
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 6: just not enough. There's not enough Sean to go around play.

403
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,119
Speaker 1: I mean, that's got to be kind of wild, right,

404
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,719
Speaker 1: do you text? I remember reading before that people had

405
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: secret service details, they didn't want to disagree necessarily in

406
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: front of the secret Service details, so they would like

407
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: and this is in the last decade or so, is

408
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,120
Speaker 1: people text message? Do you text message?

409
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 7: Like?

410
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:31,919
Speaker 3: Uh?

411
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 1: I think I remember reading that that was the way

412
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: that they would have a conversation. Because my wife is

413
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: always like, you know, we're traveling or something, she's mad

414
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 1: at me about something. She's like, I don't want to

415
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 1: get mad because you because we're at the airport and

416
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 1: somebody's going to see it and everything else. What's it

417
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 1: like to have like a secret Service agent kind of

418
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: around all the time.

419
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 6: So I've been in the car with Sean and I

420
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 6: want to tell him something personal and I'm we're literally

421
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 6: in sitting next to each other texting each other. Yes,

422
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 6: but also I'm Latin really hot, like I run hot,

423
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 6: you know, and so like I will text him stuff

424
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 6: and he'll be like, and this even happened before he

425
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 6: was in in the cabinet. And you know, we know

426
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 6: all of our you know, you me, Sean, we are

427
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 6: target of you know, the the intelligence agencies under the

428
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:22,719
Speaker 6: Biden administration. So Sean would text Bac go really, Rachel,

429
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 6: is that what you want the FBI to know about us?

430
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 6: So text fighting sometimes I can't resist, and he always

431
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 6: gives me that reminder that you know, there is nothing

432
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,120
Speaker 6: private anymore, which is really sad. I wish we lived

433
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 6: in a little bit more privacy.

434
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: No doubt. I mean, I've joked about that with my wife.

435
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 1: I'm like, you really want China knowing this, because I.

436
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 6: Just China is fighting.

437
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,959
Speaker 1: Well yeah, that's probably true too, but I've just presumed

438
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 1: my phone's been hacked by China for years. So tomorrow

439
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,679
Speaker 1: we're gonna be live six to ten. You talked about

440
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 1: the big takeaways for people. I imagine that it's a

441
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: great question. What percent of the audience right now has

442
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: never watched Fox and Friends. I would think almost everybody

443
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 1: has watched Fox and Friends Weekend that's listening to us

444
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 1: right now, But let's pretend they have not. What time

445
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,479
Speaker 1: do you try? What do you hope that a viewer

446
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 1: would get from Fox and Friends Weekend? I'm going to

447
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: be on the next couple of days, but you've been

448
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: doing this for a while. Now, what's your goal from

449
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 1: six to ten am? What do you hope people take

450
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 1: away from the show?

451
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,919
Speaker 6: Friends? Yeah, I mean that's the real thing, Like, we

452
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,399
Speaker 6: are all really friends, and I think people saw that

453
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,959
Speaker 6: when Pete was going through the transition process and then

454
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 6: they were being really mean to him and unnecessarily evil,

455
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 6: and Will and I were like, you know, because we

456
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 6: really do love each other. And I feel the same

457
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 6: way about Charlie, and you're our friends, and so I think,

458
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 6: you know, we're just gonna people who will tune in

459
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,959
Speaker 6: and they'll see friends hanging out having coffee and they

460
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 6: just feel like they're I mean, that's what people say,

461
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 6: I feel like I know you, And to me, it's

462
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 6: the highest compliment because it means they get up in

463
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 6: the morning, they're in their pgs or pouring their coffee

464
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 6: they're making their pink and they're with us as we

465
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 6: go through the morning and we do everything. You know,

466
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 6: we'll do a really hard you know, ethonomic segment, you know,

467
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 6: on sheriffs, and then you know, we're eating hot dogs,

468
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 6: you know, or we're you know, there's puppies on the set.

469
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,000

474
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 6: going to go in for a right. I think people,

475
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 6: if you haven't watched it, you should tune in because

476
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 6: it's a it's a great fun show. You'll get opinions, news,

477
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 6: you know, tips on your life, tips on what to

478
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 6: do with your home, food, food segment. It's just got everything.

479
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 6: You know what Roll Caine used to call it, Clay,

480
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:54,679
Speaker 6: he called it signs it and Will Caine is actually

481
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 6: much more Latin than people know, the fact that he

482
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 6: had that reference. That's a Saturday variety show that was

483
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 6: also like four or five hours long on Telemundo, And

484
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 6: so it's a little bit like an English version of

485
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 6: So bring your Latin game two today.

486
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: Man, I'm awful at accent, says everybody who's listening right now.

487
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 1: Well knows, okay, So last question for you. You just

488
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:17,439
Speaker 1: we talked about the fact that you got Buck and

489
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 1: Carry together. I believe you have seven kids. We have

490
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: obviously a lot of people outr No. Oh my goodness.

491
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,360
Speaker 1: Well I'm glad I got that fixed before television. All right,

492
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 1: what advice would you have because we'll clip this and

493
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: we'll share it for Buck and Carrie. You've been through

494
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: this so many times, now, what advice would you have

495
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:40,479
Speaker 1: for new parents? I've got three, my wife and I

496
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: obviously you've got nine, so you've been through this a

497
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 1: ton of times. What advice would you have for new

498
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: parents out there?

499
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 6: I always tell new parents that the first one is

500
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 6: the hardest, and it is the first one, So don't

501
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 6: don't stop because it was hard. Because the first one

502
00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 6: is the hardest. It interferes with like it's just your

503
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 6: whole like freedom thing like ends right, and that's a

504
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 6: hard adjustment. And you're learning how to do things with

505
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 6: a baby for the first time and how to figure

506
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 6: them out once you get past three. It's so easy.

507
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 6: It's great. And you know, obviously every kid has challenges everything,

508
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 6: you know, nothing's ever perfect, but as far as the

509
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 6: baby phase, that gets easier. And I would say this,

510
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 6: this is the best advice I ever got, Claive, and

511
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 6: I give this to every single mom I talk to you,

512
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 6: and they always want to ask me about how many

513
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 6: they should have, and how do I have so many?

514
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 6: I have a lot because I'm Catholic, I'm Hispanic and Catholic,

515
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 6: and Sean is Irish and Catholic, and the number just happens.

516
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 6: But the best advice is, don't plan how many you

517
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 6: want right now. Don't think about, oh my god, I'm

518
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 6: going to go into diapers right now. Think give yourself

519
00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 6: a pause and think twenty years forward. How many do

520
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 6: you want around the Thanksgiving cable.

521
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 1: That's great advice, that's great. That's how we ended up

522
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 1: with three. My wife was like not. I managed to

523
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 1: convince her to go for three, and I think she

524
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: would say that that's the best decision she's ever made.

525
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: So I think that is great advice. Rachel. I can't

526
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: wait to hang out with you for four hours tomorrow

527
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 1: and four hours and Sunday. I'm gonna do my best

528
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: to get my sleep and be bright eyed and bushy tailed,

529
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: and it should be a lot of fun.

530
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 6: Wear your sleep mask tonight.

531
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: I don't even know what that is, but I think

532
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: I'm in trouble. No matter what I'm gonna be, it's

533
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 1: gonna be hard to fall asleep because I'm gonna be excited.

534
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: But I can't wait. It's gonna be fun.

535
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 6: You got it all right?

536
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: Think that is Rachel Compost Duffy. Thanks to her for

537
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: helping to get Buck and Carry together. And you'll be

538
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,959
Speaker 1: able to hang out with us on Saturday and Sunday

539
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 1: if you so desire. As you wake up and you

540
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: have your Crocket coffee in the morning, use codebook. You

Speaker 1: to crack at coffee dot com and we also want you.

543
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 1: Buck is getting ready to have a new baby. What

544
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 1: do you need when you have a new baby? For

545
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: anybody out there, energy. It takes a lot to take

546
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: care of a new baby. And Buck has been on

547
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: chalk and it makes a huge difference for him, and

548
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: it can make a huge difference for you too. So

549
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: that you have Donald Trump energy and not Joe Biden. Energy.

550
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: Male Vitality Stack Controls has a leading ingredient that has

551
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 1: been proven to increase testosterone by as much as twenty

552
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: percent just three months time. That's your body's natural source

553
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: of energy. Over time, it naturally reduces, that's what happens.

554
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 1: But twenty percent increase and as little as three months time,

555
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,080

574
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 1: give you the last hour of the week next. I've

575
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 1: got really interesting take here. The House passed a bill

576
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: that would do something crazy, would require you to have

577
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: an ID to actually vote. We're going to play that

578
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 1: for you at the top of the next hour. But

579
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: let's dive into some of your questions. A ton of

580
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 1: you wanting to weigh in. We try to take calls

581
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: on Friday to make sure on top of it. Greg

582
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 1: and Walder Bow I probably missus mispronounced that main Greg,

583
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: I'm not familiar with that town. Appreciate you calling it.

584
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 1: Sounds like he might be there. Greg is gone. Let's

585
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 1: go to James down in Gulf Shores, Alabama. I love

586
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 1: it down there. People who don't know I've spent a

587
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 1: lot of time on the Great Gulf of America established

588
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five. James, what you got for us?

589
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 3: It's beautiful. It's a hidden paradise.

590
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 4: You know.

591
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 3: The tree ins of dollars debt that we have in

592
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 3: the revenue we have. Most of the people don't understand

593
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 3: what that means. So let's dumb it down. All right,

594
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 3: Let's act like the national revenue coming in and the

595
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 3: spending pattern is a household. So take eight zeros off

596
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 3: a four point five trillion dollars that's what we take in,

597
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 3: So that's forty five thousand. So you're making forty five

598
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 3: thousand dollars a year, but you spend six point five trillion.

599
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 3: So let's dumb that down. Take eight zeros off. That's

600
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 3: sixty five thousand, So you spent twenty thousand more than

601
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 3: you took in on your household budget. No worry, just

602
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 3: put it on the credit card. The credit card is

603
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 3: thirty six trillion dollars. Take a zero's off. That's three

604
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 3: hundred and sixty thousand dollars. How many households can live

605
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 3: with a budget revenue coming in, expenses going out, and

606
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 3: then the major dead.

607
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,359
Speaker 1: Nobody can thank you for the call. I mean, if

608
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: you break it down on a family household basis, we're bankrupt, right,

609
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 1: every household in America would be bankrupt. Johnson City, Tennessee.

610
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: Oh it's a good place, good song. What you got

611
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: for us.

612
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 7: Frank, Well, Hi, I'm a long time listener to Rush

613
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 7: and now you and Buck appreciate that. I was wondering

614
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:08,720
Speaker 7: how much weight you put in Trump's paraph policy in China.

615
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 7: Is that he's been after China roll along, especially in

616
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,959
Speaker 7: his first administration, had a screwed him in his last

617
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 7: year with the COVID and Noan Trump he likes to

618
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 7: get back. You know he will. I'm sure he plotted

619
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 7: this out and put it all together and he was

620
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 7: ready to do it.

621
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 1: Thanks for the call. I think I'm not sure how

622
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 1: much of it's related to COVID. I've made this argument

623
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 1: for a long time. I know Buck would sign off

624
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 1: on it as well. The fact that we have allowed

625
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 1: China to effectively get away with lying about everything having

626
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: to do with the origin of COVID, and the fact

627
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 1: that our tax dollars through doctor Fauci went in some

628
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,399
Speaker 1: ways to expand the gain of function research that helped

629
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 1: to create COVID as indefensible, to say nothing of the

630
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 1: way that we responded to COVID all that's indefensible. But

631
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 1: I think based on my interaction with him, based on

632
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:03,320
Speaker 1: the time that I've spent with him, Trump sees three existential,

633
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 1: massive threats that the United States faces. One is the border.

634
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 1: He's effectively shut down the southern border. He's trying to

635
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 1: deport violent felons. He's on the ball there. Two is

636
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,479
Speaker 1: the budget. As our last caller before our Johnson City,

637
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,280
Speaker 1: by the way, wagon Wheel, great song, Johnson City, Tennessee.

638
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: I can't even hear Johnson City without immediately thinking about

639
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:25,320
Speaker 1: the line from wagon Wheel. But as we said, border

640
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:27,880
Speaker 1: getting worked on budget is a mess. That's what Elon

641
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 1: Musk is doing with Doges, trying to save money there.

642
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 1: And then the third thing that is a mess that

643
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: is unsustainable is our trade imbalance with China and the

644
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:40,399
Speaker 1: fact that China is cheating on trade. Trump sees it

645
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,360
Speaker 1: as his opportunity in the next eighteen months to fix

646
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 1: three existential crisises in the country. We'll talk about that

647
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 1: next
