And 12 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 4: though it's a huge decision to make, which I know 13 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 4: you'll want to talk about about, you know, tax cuts 14 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 4: and what how you pay for those tax cuts, because 15 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 4: we learn time and the end they don't pay for themselves. 16 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 4: But now the Treasury Secretary, Wall Street, banks, the markets, 17 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 4: they're all very happy. 18 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:47,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, and we'll sail through. 19 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: There's no expectation of any concern there whatsoever.

There's some things we can do 30 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 6: in Congress, oversight and legislation, but you really need reformers 31 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,680 Speaker 6: at the head of these different agencies, and I think 32 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 6: you're seeing that as a common theme. I'm sure we'll 33 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 6: talk about more of them, but there really is a 34 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,759 Speaker 6: lot of reform that needs to happen in the administrative state. 35 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,199 Speaker 6: And He's talked about it a lot on the campaign trail, 36 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 6: and like I said, he's delivering on that. 37 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:30,680 Speaker 2: Fifty six it's all happening. 38 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 3: As treasury yields have come down.

The best in bounce, and we told 74 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 9: you for I don't know the past year that this 75 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 9: would happen. A safe pair of hands, steady pair of hands, 76 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 9: but a crisis. Nonetheless, you hear Morning joe yammer about 77 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 9: this all of a sudden. It's so important in them, 78 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 9: debt and deficits so important in them. After Biden added, 79 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 9: I don't know ten trillion dollars of debt. Did you 80 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,839 Speaker 9: ever hear them say one people about that the entire time? 81 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 5: No, you did not. 82 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 9: It's only now let's get to the signal and avoid 83 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 9: the noise. A lot of noise kicked up over the 84 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 9: weekend on President Trump in the direction there are three 85 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 9: you know, we have the resistance and you have this 86 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 9: this between the administrative state, outside groups and Geo's baillionnaires. 87 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 9: They're trying to regroup their media, but two weeks into this, 88 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 9: three weeks into this, they're shattered to a degree. Don't 89 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 9: don't get me wrong. They're going to regroup and be 90 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 9: a major piece. But what the most important thing that's 91 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 9: happening for President Trump's transition and the start of a 92 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 9: second term. And this is my point that my mantra 93 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 9: of seize the institutions is there's three lines of work 94 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 9: right now, and where the Biden regime, the illegitimate Biden regime, 95 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 9: I might add, is working against the country's interests and 96 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 9: working against President Trump's interests. Let's break it down to 97 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 9: the three broad lines of work of the fiasco and 98 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 9: disaster of the Biden regime. 99 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 2: The invasion of the southern. 100 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 9: Border that left I don't know ten eleven, fifteen million 101 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 9: illegal alien invaders, and I've said over and over again, 102 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 9: we do not demonize those folks that came across. They 103 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 9: were invited here by your government, your illegitimate regime that 104 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 9: stole the twenty twenty election, invited them here. I thought 105 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 9: it permanently would create not just a voting block, but 106 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 9: to drive down wages and to add to the economy 107 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 9: that they couldn't do themselves. 108 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 2: So it's the invasion. 109 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,160 Speaker 9: Todd Bensman is going to be on here because we're 110 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 9: going to show you exactly what this illegitimate regime of 111 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 9: Biden in the administrative in deep State are doing right 112 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 9: now to make it even a bigger problem, like it's 113 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 9: not big enough, even a bigger problem than what we have. 114 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 9: The second is the divorce World War three, as you know, 115 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 9: we've been the proponent that we're in the early stages 116 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:51,239 Speaker 9: of World War three. Karen Siegmann in the team overt 117 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 9: AFA or her alliance have had conferences. I've spoke at 118 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 9: these conferences. We've had I don't know, five or six 119 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 9: conferences over the last year and a half talking about the. 120 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 2: Early years of the Third World War. 121 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 9: Well, the Biden regime with NATO is doing as much 122 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 9: as they possibly can to throw gasoline onto the fire 123 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 9: over in Ukraine. 124 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,479 Speaker 2: Zero Hedge has a tremendous. 125 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 9: Story aggregates a lot that's going on, including not just 126 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 9: the NATO allies saying they want to put troops up there, 127 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 9: but Biden stockpiling weapons, Biden giving authority, giving authority for 128 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 9: the Ukrainians to fire American long range missiles into Russia. 129 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 9: I believe there's technicians now he's asked these questions, there's 130 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 9: American technicians over there. The British have just fired the 131 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,799 Speaker 9: British weapons. I believe there's British technicians over there, fire 132 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 9: control experts. But even more shocking and kind of breathtaking 133 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 9: is this revelation by the New York Times that American 134 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 9: officials with European officials have had this is the New 135 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 9: York Times, baby have had discussions about deploying nuclear weapons, 136 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 9: tactical nuclear weapons into Ukraine. Nothing could trigger a broader 137 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 9: shooting war than the tried. That is pure total insanity. 138 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 9: And i'll read you in a little while directly from 139 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 9: the New York Times with the statement is so in 140 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 9: the war, they're doing everything to exacerbate this, right, and 141 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 9: then you've got the Middle East. 142 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 2: You've got the Middle East War around Israel. 143 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 9: The International Criminal Court has named bib in his i 144 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 9: think his war minister international war criminals Hungary, Victor Orbin 145 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 9: and said, hey, welcome here, but if they go anywhere else, 146 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 9: they'll be arrested inside of Europe. So certainly the Persians, 147 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 9: it looks like they're trying to gear up, right, exacerbated 148 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 9: by the Biden regime in Ukraine. Definitely incredibly scary. The 149 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 9: Chinese Commanist Party has put at four red lines that 150 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 9: Biden's just kind of rolled over to four red lines, 151 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 9: including Taiwan, that Taiwan's a province, America can't defend it, 152 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 9: and particularly that America can't be supporting any democracy movement whatsoever, 153 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 9: And just to put a cherry. On top of that, 154 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 9: they arrested, they sent to prison forty five pro democracy 155 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 9: protesters in Hong Kong the other day. The last, but 156 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 9: not least, is the debt and the deficit in this 157 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 9: firestorm this coming. We still don't know, and it's still 158 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 9: hard to kind of deconstruct exactly what Janet Yellen in 159 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 9: the Federal Reserve have done this. Remember it was about 160 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 9: a year ago this time that you had this extraordinary 161 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 9: kind of merger of the Fed and the Treasury on 162 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 9: essentially turning the financing of our massive debt kind of 163 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 9: how Argentina used to do it, how developing nations and 164 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 9: third world countries used to do it, and they would 165 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 9: just because they had to just do short term financing 166 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 9: of ninety day bills six months, thirty days, just to 167 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 9: kind of kick the can down the road. With the 168 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,199 Speaker 9: Federal Reserve at the time cutting rates and adding more 169 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 9: liquidity to the market, I think the qts kind of 170 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 9: have had stopped. Now we're in a situation we've got 171 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 9: we just passed thirty six trillion. What did I tell 172 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 9: you the thirty five trillion? You passed thirty five trillion? 173 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 9: When I was in Danbury Prison, in July. I think 174 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 9: the middle of July, well, what were one hundred days 175 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 9: out right? Guess what added another trillion dollars. And now 176 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,079 Speaker 9: all of a sudden the left sitt and they go, oh, 177 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:35,439 Speaker 9: this is just is this is the worst thing in 178 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 9: the world. 179 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 2: How do you do this? 180 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 9: Bessent is a calming factor to the markets. Listen, he 181 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 9: is a maga guy, and he's got a maga growth scenario. 182 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:47,839 Speaker 9: The last chance that we have preached on here, the 183 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 9: last chance you're going to have to try to didn't 184 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,959 Speaker 9: say we're going to do it to try to, well, 185 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 9: you can definitely, I think stop the bleeding and try 186 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 9: to grow your way out of here, to have a 187 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 9: growth strategy, of economic growth and kind of going back 188 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 9: to the animal spirits. A combination of smart tax cuts 189 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,559 Speaker 9: can't cut everything. Remember, we're pretty opposed the fact, I 190 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 9: would say, we're very opposed tenny tax cuts to the wealthier, 191 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 9: to the billionaires kind of the guy the donor class 192 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 9: that got us into this jam with their political puppets, 193 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 9: but with smart tax cuts for working class and middle 194 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 9: class people particularly. We're huge advocates of no tax on tips, 195 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,439 Speaker 9: no tax on overtime, no tax on social security and 196 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 9: corporate taxes and the tax and the wealthy. 197 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 2: You're going to have to figure out how to fill 198 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 2: the gap. Right. But the problems even deeper than that. 199 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 9: The problems now are this massive, massive debt that's been 200 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 9: left to us by yelling by the Biden regime. 201 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 2: And now all of a sudden, morning, Jerry, morning. 202 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:53,319 Speaker 9: Joe's a hawk. He's a deficit deat hawk. There're all hawks. Now, Well, 203 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 9: how come we weren't hawks when we piled all this 204 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 9: debt on all this spending that we have no earthy 205 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 9: idea if the spending's going to have any impact or 206 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 9: not go back. Particularly folks have been on this show, 207 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,319 Speaker 9: been watching the show for a couple of years. Remember 208 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 9: in January and February of twenty twenty, twenty twenty, when 209 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 9: the pandemic first started, we were an advocate of what 210 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 9: President Trump did. You had to step into the breach, 211 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 9: had to step into the bridge because you had a 212 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 9: massive implosion of what's called in Kynesian economic theory, aggregate demand, 213 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 9: because people were locked in. People were you know, when 214 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 9: the code first hit, and nobody really kind of fully 215 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 9: understood what it was. You know, the bio weapon from 216 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,439 Speaker 9: the Chinese Comedies Party, right, maybe with a little help 217 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 9: from Barrick down at the University of North Carolina and 218 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 9: Fauci with an assist from Fauci and Barrack and others 219 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 9: funded by US tax payers, but weaponized and then let 220 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 9: out by the Chinese Comties Party at a Wuhan. Oh yeah, 221 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 9: oh yeah, that's exactly what happened. And major parts of 222 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 9: the intelligence community and the FBI and others know that, 223 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 9: and that all all come out in the fullness of 224 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 9: time starting after January twenty or twenty January twenty twenty five. 225 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 9: There was a need at the time because of imperfect 226 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,599 Speaker 9: information in the fog of war about you needed an infusion, 227 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 9: and President Trump gave that to kind of bridge as 228 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 9: we said that bridge to for aggurate demand was going 229 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 9: to get us from one side of the pandemic to 230 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 9: the other. With the economy still hitting on, trying to 231 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 9: hit all cylinders, as Trump had it in eighteen and nineteen. 232 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 2: Okay, that's not what Biden did. 233 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:37,679 Speaker 9: And now we're left with a massive fiscal and financial 234 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 9: and economic crisis. 235 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 2: So let's go back and we've said the cr. 236 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 9: Is on the We weren't run out of money on 237 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 9: the twenty of December, based on Christmas Eve, essentially less 238 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 9: than a month from now. 239 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 2: I think what they'll do is kick that over. 240 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 9: And we're not, as you know, we fight all these crs, 241 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 9: but in this regard, it actually kicks in to let 242 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 9: President Trump and his team cut their first budget. At 243 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 9: the same time, I think it's January third that we 244 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 9: hit the debt ceiling. Now, Scott Bessen and Russ vote 245 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 9: the one the touchdown twins of this economic program. I'm 246 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:22,319 Speaker 9: sure we'll come up with some way to waterfall the 247 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 9: cash flow that we can kick you down a couple 248 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 9: of months. But the debt ceiling deal expire essentially expires 249 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 9: on two January, three January, and then you have the 250 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 9: revision of the of the reversal of the tax cuts. 251 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 9: All three of those hit, and we've said for months 252 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 9: and months and months that's going to be an economic firestorm. 253 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 9: Gave a speech of Pinehurst a year ago talking about 254 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 9: the convergence of that financial crisis coupled with the mass deportations. 255 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,679 Speaker 2: Okay, Roger Kimball's going to join us. 256 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 9: He's got a great piece up and I think American greatness. 257 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 9: We've got Chris Brooke Buskirk's American Greatness. We've got Todd 258 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 9: Benzman with breaking news on the border. We're going to 259 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 9: break down all of this and what President Trump and 260 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 9: the transition team what they are doing as a workaround. Remember, 261 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 9: there's one central item of this transition. There's been no 262 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 9: sign dealed actually formally engage with the Biden regime in 263 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 9: a transition. 264 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 2: There's pretty good reason for that. President Trump, you. 265 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 9: Know, was not born yesterday, and he's not going to 266 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 9: allow the deep state and the administrative state to do 267 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 9: to him in twenty twenty four and twenty five what 268 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 9: they did to him in sixteen and seventeen. 269 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 2: Short commercial break, you're in the war room. Be back 270 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 2: in just a moment. 271 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 10: Take a look here President Trump's transition net approval. 272 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 5: You go back to November at twenty sixteen. 273 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 10: Look at this, it was just a plus one point, 274 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 10: just a plus one point that. 275 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 5: Is well well well below the historical norm. 276 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 10: Look get where we are today, significantly higher, plus eighteen points, 277 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 10: that seventeen points higher on the presidential transition net approval rating. 278 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 10: The bottom line is this, if eight years ago Americans 279 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 10: were lukewarm on Donald Trump at this particular point, they're 280 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 10: giving him much more of the benefit of the doubt. 281 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 5: A lot more Americans are in love with this transition. 282 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 10: This much more meets the historical norms where normally presidents. 283 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 5: Get that boost coming out of their victory. 284 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 10: And what we're seeing here is Donald Trump's presidential transition 285 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 10: is getting a thumbs up and dare I say two 286 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 10: thumbs up from the American people. 287 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 11: And you know, we're still on the appointment phase at 288 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 11: this point, but it does give insight to sort of 289 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 11: where this team is thinking to lead some of these 290 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 11: key departments. 291 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 5: Of course, I mean, but how do. 292 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 11: People feel about the prospects of his presidency given the 293 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 11: context of some of these big. 294 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 10: Yeah, it's not just that they like what Donald Trump 295 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 10: is doing right now. They're optimistic for the future. So again, 296 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 10: let's compare ourselves now versus where we were eight years ago. 297 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 5: And what you see. 298 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 10: Eight years ago, fifty three percent of Americans were scared 299 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 10: or concerned, the majority towards the upcoming Trump term. Look 300 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 10: at where we are now. The shoe is on the 301 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 10: other foot. Fifty three percent of Americans are excited or optimistic. 302 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 10: It's flip flop where a majority, a narrow majority eight 303 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 10: years ago, we're scared or concerned about the upcoming Trump term. 304 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 10: Now what we see is that the majority is excited 305 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 10: or optimistic about the Trump term. So what we're just 306 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 10: seeing is very different numbers from where we were eight 307 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 10: years ago. Eight years ago, folks, really we're not that 308 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 10: in love with the Trump transition. Now they are and 309 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 10: more than that, looking forward to the upcoming Trump term. 310 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 10: Four eight years ago, the majority we're scared of concern. 311 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 10: Now the majority are excited or optimistic. 312 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 11: And look, I mean the reality is for these cabinet picks, 313 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 11: they've got to get confirmed by the SENNI here and 314 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 11: so I think rightfully, so a lot of concern has 315 00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 11: gone into Okay, where will Republicans fall in supporting these 316 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 11: picks since they're the majority. But Democrats were also very 317 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 11: opposed to Trump's picks and his presidency overall in twenty 318 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 11: seventeen coming in. 319 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 5: Where are they now? 320 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,359 Speaker 10: I think one word to describe Democrats now, it's just 321 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,160 Speaker 10: they're exhausted, They're tired. You know, it's very hard being 322 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 10: in the opposition. Donald Trump wears out his opponents, and 323 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,399 Speaker 10: I think they've done that here. So Democrats trump Trump's 324 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 10: win motivates me in what way to do things? Just 325 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:30,160 Speaker 10: forty four percent say to oppose Donald Trump. The majority 326 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 10: the fifty six percent either forty six percent it doesn't 327 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,199 Speaker 10: motivate me at all, which I think is really the 328 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,160 Speaker 10: exhaustion pick right, this is the plurality or ten percent 329 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 10: say it actually motivates them to support Donald Trump. Together, 330 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,159 Speaker 10: these numbers get fifty six percent, far higher than the 331 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 10: forty four percent who. 332 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 5: Say oppose Donald Trump. 333 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 10: The bottom line is this Republicans very motivated by Donald 334 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,479 Speaker 10: Trump's win, and compared to eight years ago, Democrats just 335 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 10: really really tired. 336 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,880 Speaker 5: They have just given up.

That's just you know, you got 506 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,000 Speaker 9: to get And I'm sorry that I'm sorry to build 507 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,200 Speaker 9: your hang on, I'm sorry to build your new mansion 508 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 9: down on the on the beach in Jersey or wherever. 509 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:22,879 Speaker 2: That you got to. 510 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 9: You got to get a couple of permits or Roger, 511 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,439 Speaker 9: they make you to get another you know photo, but 512 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 9: hang on. So and this is the and this is 513 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 9: the point they point a finger to the Roger Kimballs 514 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,160 Speaker 9: of the world and the Steve Benniswueld said, you guys 515 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,440 Speaker 9: went to all these high falutant schools. You're all ivy 516 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 9: league guys. You know that there's no administrative state, but 517 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 9: you're you're you're feeding uh, you're feeding the hard right 518 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 9: of the Trump movement. With all these fantasies that there's 519 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 9: there's some administrative state, and then there's a rogue element, 520 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 9: the deep state, which is the intelligence, military, and law 521 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 9: enforcement aspect of it. So once again I'm gonna ask you, 522 00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 9: why do you say in your piece that this is 523 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 9: a unique moment in time for President Trump and the 524 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 9: people around him to actually deconstruct the administrative state and 525 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 9: take down the deep state? 526 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 2: Sir? 527 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 3: Right? 528 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 12: Okay, So you've asked two questions here. Why is this 529 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 12: a unique moment? I'll get to that in just a second, 530 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,720 Speaker 12: But the first question is is this really? 531 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,480 Speaker 3: Isn't this just buocracy? Isn't this just government? 532 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 12: Isn't it aren't we just witnessing the operation of a standard, 533 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 12: huge administration. It's a complicated country, after all. 534 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 3: And my answer is no. And for two reasons. 535 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 12: One, people like to use the phrase conspiracy theory as 536 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 12: if that somehow negates the legitimacy of what's being described. 537 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 12: But some conspiracy theories are correct. So when Caunt Pernia 538 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 12: told Julius Caesar that there were conspiracy theories about his 539 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 12: being assassinated in forty four BC in the Eye of 540 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,280 Speaker 12: the March, he scoffed at it, but it turns out 541 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 12: that was a true conspiracy theory. But that's one point 542 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 12: that do not let people delegitimate what you're saying by 543 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 12: the epithet conspiracy theory, because sometimes conspiracies are real. The 544 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,960 Speaker 12: second point is this, what we have seen is the 545 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:23,480 Speaker 12: administrative state real? 546 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 3: Yes? Is the deep state real? Yes? 547 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 12: For the same reason that the Stalinist and the Leninist 548 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 12: deep state was real. Lenin said that communism means keeping 549 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 12: track of everything, and that is what the administrative state 550 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 12: is trying to do. We've erected this gigantic surveillance regulatory apparatus, 551 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:52,120 Speaker 12: and just as a subject of the Soviet Union would 552 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 12: have been subjugated to that administrative state, so we in 553 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 12: this country are in increasingly subject to the American version 554 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:07,000 Speaker 12: of that. It's not as brutal yet I hope it 555 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:12,360 Speaker 12: never will be, but it is every bit as active 556 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 12: and reaching into all aspects of our life. So when 557 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 12: people say, well, is there this thing called the administrative state? No, 558 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 12: but what it is is you can see with your 559 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 12: own eyes the way in which we have gradually and 560 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 12: then rapidly moved away from the vision of the founders, 561 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 12: where we have three branches of government and only three, 562 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 12: not four. They didn't have a provision for this vast 563 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:47,719 Speaker 12: cadre of again unelected and accountable bureaucrats. That is one 564 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 12: of the keys here. They're not elected by anyone. You 565 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 12: can't get rid of them except with grave difficulty, and 566 00:31:55,920 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 12: they run our lives. So the reality of this deep state, 567 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 12: this administrative state, I think, I mean, who are you 568 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 12: going to believe you know me or you're lying eyes 569 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,720 Speaker 12: as I think it was Graucho Marx said. But to 570 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 12: the second point, why is this an historic moment? Because 571 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 12: Donald Trump has just won a decisive victory, and he's 572 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 12: won not just the electoral votes, not just the popular. 573 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 3: Vote, he has won the zeitgeist. 574 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:29,080 Speaker 12: There you just were playing a segment from CNN of 575 00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:35,240 Speaker 12: all places, noting the the Trump effect that somehow everybody 576 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 12: seems to be a little more positive about this transition, 577 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:44,840 Speaker 12: and the opportunity that has been given to us is 578 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 12: very very rare, and I really hope that Elon Musk 579 00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:56,520 Speaker 12: and Vivek Ramaswami, with their Department of Governmental Efficiency, are 580 00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,280 Speaker 12: able to do what they outlined in their Peace in 581 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,800 Speaker 12: the Wall Street a few days ago, in which I 582 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 12: summarized in my piece in American Greatness yesterday, which is 583 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 12: to attack the regulatory apparatus, to lower the headcount of 584 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:18,880 Speaker 12: the number of bureaucrats, and finally to effect you know, 585 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 12: important cost savings for the for the American people. 586 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,400 Speaker 3: I think it can be done. 587 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,360 Speaker 12: And by the way, know they mentioned things like the 588 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 12: Corporation for Public Broadcasting and Planned Parenthood, you know, a 589 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 12: few billion dollars of expenditures. But one they didn't mention 590 00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:42,160 Speaker 12: that I'd like to mention is the National Endowment for Democracy, 591 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:46,360 Speaker 12: which gets I think about three hundred and twenty million 592 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 12: dollars from the from the government. It's a private entity. 593 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 12: It's a private entity that Congress funds. On their board 594 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 12: are people like Victoria Newland and an Applebaum. This is 595 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 12: these people are out there, you know, promoting war in 596 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:07,400 Speaker 12: Ukraine and elsewhere. 597 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:09,359 Speaker 3: It's it's very if. 598 00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:12,840 Speaker 9: As we've gone through in the show many times, the 599 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:16,000 Speaker 9: National Delma for Democracy started with Jesse Helms and the 600 00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:19,240 Speaker 9: anti Communist warriors, yes back in the eighties and nineties, 601 00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 9: but it is it has been taken over by the 602 00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:25,879 Speaker 9: Color Revolution crowd of Robert Kagan and his quite destructive 603 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 9: and dangerous wife Victoria Neulan and others an apple bomster 604 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:34,520 Speaker 9: world which you are always trying to get us into. Roger, 605 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:36,920 Speaker 9: We're one thing if you're going to make us see 606 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:40,120 Speaker 9: by the way, I love the Caesar and uh with 607 00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:44,719 Speaker 9: Caesar's Caesar's wife warning him. The other conspiracy too was 608 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:49,400 Speaker 9: that And this relates directly to Trump, is that they 609 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:54,040 Speaker 9: you know, his guy's warning that the Senate were coming 610 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:58,120 Speaker 9: after him on a conspiracy to charge Caesar with corruption 611 00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 9: and gaull of all the great work he had done talkering. 612 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,279 Speaker 9: That's why he headed back to the Rubicon and said, 613 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,799 Speaker 9: maybe I have something to say about that. But this 614 00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:09,440 Speaker 9: was this was exactly like, this was exactly like what 615 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:10,680 Speaker 9: what the deep state. 616 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:12,319 Speaker 2: Let's take the deep state aspect of this. 617 00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:16,239 Speaker 9: The deep state came after Trump in a way that 618 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 9: is unfathomable to the American people and unprecedented. MSNBC and 619 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,360 Speaker 9: the New York Times put they put they put democracy 620 00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:25,799 Speaker 9: on the ballot as their number one thing. We had 621 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:29,320 Speaker 9: a referendum on that. The American people rendered a verdict. 622 00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,480 Speaker 9: And you're right, they want to change to the zeitgeist. 623 00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,239 Speaker 9: They want that to go away. Is that is that 624 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,240 Speaker 9: part of your understanding of why this is a moment. 625 00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:42,520 Speaker 12: Sir, Yeah, well absolutely, you know and I you're the 626 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 12: people you just had on the from CNN they said 627 00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:50,799 Speaker 12: the Democrats are tired. They're very tired, but you were right. 628 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:56,239 Speaker 12: They will regroup. And this, this moment is really it's rare, 629 00:35:56,360 --> 00:36:00,640 Speaker 12: maybe unique in our history. We must seize it, uh 630 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:04,640 Speaker 12: and Elon Musk and be the Akaramaswami. I really, you know, 631 00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,040 Speaker 12: they are going to be part of the transition. They 632 00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:10,440 Speaker 12: will be able to do this stuff if if we 633 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:10,960 Speaker 12: let them. 634 00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,680 Speaker 3: And I think it's it. 635 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,879 Speaker 12: It's it's this moment's not going to come again, and 636 00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,480 Speaker 12: it's the only way in which we can begin to 637 00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:22,319 Speaker 12: whittle away at the deep state. And I mean, we 638 00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:23,640 Speaker 12: are in a fiscal crisis. 639 00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:25,680 Speaker 3: I don't you know. You get up in the morning, 640 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:27,440 Speaker 3: you have your coffee, you may not quite. 641 00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:30,080 Speaker 12: Recognize it, but we have a federal debt of almost 642 00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:34,080 Speaker 12: thirty six trillion dollars. That's it's you know, it's an 643 00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:38,800 Speaker 12: unfathomable number. And if we do not get our fiscal 644 00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:43,400 Speaker 12: house in order, it's this country will it will be 645 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:44,640 Speaker 12: swallowed up by debt. 646 00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:47,520 Speaker 3: That's part of what they. 647 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:52,880 Speaker 2: Where where do people get Where do people get access 648 00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:54,880 Speaker 2: to you, sir well. 649 00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:58,680 Speaker 12: I write a weekly column for American Greatness, and I 650 00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:02,680 Speaker 12: write regularly for The Spectator, both the English and American version. 651 00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:06,120 Speaker 12: And I write for the New Criterion, my magazine, and 652 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:12,560 Speaker 12: other places in the London Telegraph, for example. And I'm 653 00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:16,560 Speaker 12: on x formerly Twitter. Just my handle is just at 654 00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:17,840 Speaker 12: Roger Kimball. 655 00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:22,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, there you are, Roger, Thank you so much. Great piece. 656 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:24,400 Speaker 9: We're going to make sure it gets out where grays 657 00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,480 Speaker 9: and we are going to push this out hard today. 658 00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:31,440 Speaker 9: Thank you brother, appreciate you. Let's talk about the conversion 659 00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:33,520 Speaker 9: of which Roger is talking about that. You've got the Doge, 660 00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:39,239 Speaker 9: you got the Doge cadre of Elon Musk and the 661 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,279 Speaker 9: Veck Ramaswami and a team they're putting together, and that 662 00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:47,640 Speaker 9: team has put a landing team in the Imperial capital 663 00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:49,279 Speaker 9: of what you're going through. 664 00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,279 Speaker 2: Remember the Wall Street Journal article and you can get 665 00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,080 Speaker 2: it all. Roger breaks it all down for you. 666 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,520 Speaker 9: Number one, start to take apart the regulatory apparas. Obviously 667 00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:00,360 Speaker 9: you need certain regulations and nobodys saying you need that, 668 00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:03,560 Speaker 9: but to take a part of the regulatory apparatus that 669 00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:09,160 Speaker 9: is choking entrepreneurism. Number two, go to headcount, and that headcount, 670 00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,319 Speaker 9: I might add, because we've done the math, you got 671 00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:13,239 Speaker 9: two and a half million federal employees, about two and 672 00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:17,240 Speaker 9: a half million military. Of the eighteen million contractors, about 673 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,360 Speaker 9: four or five million I believe are in kind of 674 00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,680 Speaker 9: managerial functions. I just rounded, kind of rounding there, but 675 00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:24,960 Speaker 9: roughly then you have if you add that together, you 676 00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:25,719 Speaker 9: get about. 677 00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:26,520 Speaker 2: Ten million people. 678 00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:30,080 Speaker 9: That folks that are running this six and a half 679 00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,800 Speaker 9: trillion dollars apparatus. You got to reduce the head count 680 00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:37,160 Speaker 9: and the billets, and you need cost savings dramatic. 681 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,520 Speaker 2: It's not just waste, fraud and abuse. Let's let's put that. 682 00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:44,439 Speaker 9: Yeah, there's certainly waste, there's certainly some fraud, no doubt 683 00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:48,480 Speaker 9: about it. There's certainly abuse, inefficiencies all that. But this 684 00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,240 Speaker 9: is programmatic and that is the second part of the puzzle. 685 00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:54,040 Speaker 9: Remember those at the end of the day, when you 686 00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,920 Speaker 9: look at their agreement, is nothing more than an advisory 687 00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 9: and consulting group. 688 00:38:59,080 --> 00:38:59,360 Speaker 2: Two. 689 00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,520 Speaker 9: Wait for it, RUSS vote in OMB. This is why 690 00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:05,799 Speaker 9: RUSS vote is so important. RUSS votes now announced as 691 00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:08,040 Speaker 9: the director of O and B, and that's been I 692 00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:11,000 Speaker 9: think embraced except for the madness that they're thrown at 693 00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:14,080 Speaker 9: him as being a Christian nationalist and twenty twenty five 694 00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,759 Speaker 9: and all that. But Russ's O and B will be 695 00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,200 Speaker 9: the driving force, with Doge kind of on a flank 696 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:22,799 Speaker 9: helping them, assisting them, highlighting as these guys can really 697 00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,200 Speaker 9: get to the media. The other aspect of that you 698 00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:28,080 Speaker 9: also have is the legislative branch, because remember we go 699 00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:31,760 Speaker 9: through a process. We fought back with the McCarthy situation 700 00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:35,399 Speaker 9: in January and February of twenty twenty three to get 701 00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:38,359 Speaker 9: the appropriations process to be twelve individual bills are all 702 00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:41,879 Speaker 9: going through that appropriations process now with subcommittee. 703 00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:43,799 Speaker 2: I think Joni Ernst in the Senate. 704 00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:47,520 Speaker 9: MTG in the House will also be on I think 705 00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:50,799 Speaker 9: in oversight working with appropriations. When you merge all of 706 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:55,520 Speaker 9: that together, you have, for the first time, after decades 707 00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:59,720 Speaker 9: and decades and decades of talk about about taking down 708 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:03,239 Speaker 9: the leviathan of two bigger government to get back to 709 00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:07,560 Speaker 9: limited government, you actually have the forces of raid for battle, 710 00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:11,960 Speaker 9: right from tech entrepreneurs, people that are bringing about cutting 711 00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:13,959 Speaker 9: costs all the way to Russ vote in the team 712 00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:17,360 Speaker 9: over at OMB two now Capitol Hill awaken to the 713 00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:20,080 Speaker 9: fact that why do we appropriate this just to cut 714 00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:22,840 Speaker 9: it later. Maybe we get into the appropriations process and 715 00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:24,600 Speaker 9: cut it out at the beginning. 716 00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:28,399 Speaker 2: This is the beginning of action, action, action, and usion. 717 00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:34,160 Speaker 9: You're using your agency short commercial break. 718 00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:36,480 Speaker 2: Warpath Coffee. 719 00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,080 Speaker 9: You know, when you go over to the Birch Gold site, 720 00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:43,759 Speaker 9: get a big pot of Warpath going Mariners Blend. You know, 721 00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:45,759 Speaker 9: I hate to say it, I like my old packaging 722 00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:47,000 Speaker 9: better than the new packaging. 723 00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:47,439 Speaker 5: Is cool. 724 00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:51,320 Speaker 2: I love my original packaging for the dark Ross Warpath 725 00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:53,919 Speaker 2: Dot Coffee. Go check it out. Five thousand and five 726 00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:57,160 Speaker 2: star reviews. Short Break Ben'sman at the Border Next. 727 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,279 Speaker 10: Now, I think one word to describe Democrats now, it's 728 00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:04,720 Speaker 10: just they're exhausted, tired. 729 00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:06,880 Speaker 5: You know, it's very hard being in the opposition. 730 00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,080 Speaker 10: Donald Trump wears out his opponents, and I think they've 731 00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:12,400 Speaker 10: done that here. So Democrats Trump Trump's win motivates me 732 00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:15,720 Speaker 10: in what way to do things? Just forty four percent 733 00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:19,000 Speaker 10: say to oppose Donald Trump. The majority the fifty six 734 00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:22,080 Speaker 10: percent either forty six percent, it doesn't motivate me at all, 735 00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:24,400 Speaker 10: which I think is really the exhaustion pick. Right, This 736 00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,360 Speaker 10: is the plurality, or ten percent say it actually motivates 737 00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,760 Speaker 10: them to support Donald Trump. Together, these numbers get fifty 738 00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,120 Speaker 10: six percent, far higher than the forty four percent who 739 00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:36,279 Speaker 10: say oppose Donald Trump. The bottom line is this Republicans 740 00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,040 Speaker 10: very motivated by Donald Trump's win, and compared to eight 741 00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:43,719 Speaker 10: years ago, Democrats just really, really tired. 742 00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:49,080 Speaker 2: Think about this. So please never forget. I know this 743 00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:50,719 Speaker 2: audience won't, but for. 744 00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:55,640 Speaker 9: Those or maybe new viewers and new listeners, the Nikky 745 00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:59,160 Speaker 9: Haley and Ron de Santas and the Mike Pompeo and 746 00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:02,520 Speaker 9: all the Mitch McConnell and particularly Paul Ryan. In fact, 747 00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:04,200 Speaker 9: if my team can we cut some of the Paul 748 00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:07,800 Speaker 9: Ryan vitriol Trump can't win. Trent Concier, where are they now? 749 00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:12,160 Speaker 9: Where are they now? They're all skipping around and loving 750 00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:15,360 Speaker 9: what Trump's doing. They love, they love the wins. They 751 00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:16,759 Speaker 9: don't want to work for the wins, in fact, they 752 00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:18,920 Speaker 9: want to work against it. And then what they want 753 00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:23,279 Speaker 9: to do now is thwart the full on assault. 754 00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:24,080 Speaker 2: On the administrative and deep state. 755 00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:26,719 Speaker 9: This is what the Gates appoint was the attorney general 756 00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:31,200 Speaker 9: in Pam Bondi. She's a tough ombre, right, She'll be 757 00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:32,960 Speaker 9: finding the guy. She has a great team around her. 758 00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:36,520 Speaker 9: She's not Gates, but then Gates is pretty unique. This 759 00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:40,440 Speaker 9: is why they stopped you. This convergence to get on 760 00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:43,560 Speaker 9: with it has to be more than the deregulator. Look 761 00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:46,480 Speaker 9: what the Doose guys are laying out is absolutely solid. 762 00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:48,919 Speaker 9: We've argued for this for years and now they bring 763 00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:52,320 Speaker 9: the throw weight to actually get it done. You combine 764 00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:55,080 Speaker 9: that with RUSS vote, You combine that with some savvy, 765 00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:58,680 Speaker 9: tough people, particularly people that understand the appropriations process and 766 00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:02,440 Speaker 9: media like MTG. That's a powerful combo. That's a team 767 00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:04,759 Speaker 9: and this has to be a team sport. It's not 768 00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,319 Speaker 9: going to be anyone individual because the administrative state is 769 00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:08,000 Speaker 9: too vast. 770 00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:12,000 Speaker 2: So it's looking good. But that's why in the moment 771 00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:12,799 Speaker 2: of history. 772 00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:16,560 Speaker 9: Agency agency, agency attack, attack, attack, be on offense. 773 00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:17,880 Speaker 2: Right now, when. 774 00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:19,440 Speaker 9: You have them shattered and you have them in the 775 00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:22,879 Speaker 9: fetal position, sucking their thumb looking for a pacifier, this 776 00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:26,759 Speaker 9: is when you roll hard, hard, hard. This is the 777 00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:29,480 Speaker 9: reason we won. We're harder than they are. There are 778 00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:31,680 Speaker 9: a lot of people I respect their fight. On the 779 00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:35,319 Speaker 9: other side, I totally disagree with the ideology, but I 780 00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:38,160 Speaker 9: respect their fight. But there's not. Their bench is not 781 00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:40,799 Speaker 9: that deep when it comes to fighters, their quitters. You 782 00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:43,439 Speaker 9: see them about running and leaving the country. Right, That's 783 00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:46,919 Speaker 9: why now we turned out to be harder. We never 784 00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:49,480 Speaker 9: after they came out of this with total state power. 785 00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:54,200 Speaker 9: People did not collapse. People did not run away. Traditional 786 00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:57,000 Speaker 9: Republicans ran away, the established order ran away. 787 00:43:57,120 --> 00:43:57,600 Speaker 2: You know this. 788 00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:02,120 Speaker 9: Look at your friends, look at people the conservative media space. 789 00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,560 Speaker 2: See where they were a couple of years ago. Why 790 00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:08,280 Speaker 2: they're not hard enough, They're not tough enough. 791 00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:12,640 Speaker 9: We went through this kind of Darwinian process and guess 792 00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:17,440 Speaker 9: what this audience won because you're hard, you're tough, you're focus, 793 00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:18,399 Speaker 9: you're relentless. 794 00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:20,320 Speaker 2: You've got that good old. 795 00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:24,040 Speaker 9: American grit and cussedness that made this country the most 796 00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:27,400 Speaker 9: powerful nation in the history of the earth. Todd Bensman, 797 00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:30,719 Speaker 9: there are forces out there aligned against us that are 798 00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:32,880 Speaker 9: trying to destroy this country and still trying to do it. 799 00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:37,160 Speaker 9: And they've targeted working class African Americans and working class 800 00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:41,920 Speaker 9: Hispanic citizens as their target to destroy because they are 801 00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:44,239 Speaker 9: not giving up on the invasion of this country as 802 00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:44,760 Speaker 9: you report. 803 00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:46,080 Speaker 2: Can you get us up to date, sir? 804 00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:50,719 Speaker 8: Right, So what's happening at the border right now is 805 00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:53,640 Speaker 8: the Trump effect two point zho. If you remember, the 806 00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:59,160 Speaker 8: Trump effect was the term given to the first term 807 00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:03,520 Speaker 8: the talk, the tough talk that was heard around the 808 00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:08,279 Speaker 8: world among the aspiring illegal aliens, and they decide to. 809 00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:09,760 Speaker 2: Stay home just at the talk. 810 00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:13,439 Speaker 8: You got to have follow through with action though we're 811 00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:16,719 Speaker 8: at the tough talk part again. Two point zero. The 812 00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:20,040 Speaker 8: numbers are about eighteen hundred a day border wide, five 813 00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:23,960 Speaker 8: hundred in Texas and the rest California and Arizona. For 814 00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:30,120 Speaker 8: the most part, those numbers are low historically. By four years, 815 00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:32,800 Speaker 8: we want to see those things down below one thousand 816 00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:37,360 Speaker 8: a day, even when Trump is actually doing deportations and 817 00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:41,160 Speaker 8: pushbacks under remain in Mexico. But it's looking good right now. 818 00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:47,520 Speaker 8: But there are hundreds of thousands of aspiring illegal aliens 819 00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:50,880 Speaker 8: in Mexico that are just busting to get over the border. 820 00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:54,960 Speaker 8: Still the Mexican military is holding them back right now 821 00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:59,160 Speaker 8: because Trump threatened trade tariffs. If you let any of 822 00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:03,400 Speaker 8: them through, Claudia Shinbaum, the new president, it's going to 823 00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:06,120 Speaker 8: be a big problem for your economy. Nice economy. You 824 00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:08,520 Speaker 8: got there be a shame if anything bad happened to it. 825 00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:09,080 Speaker 2: Sort of thing. 826 00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:12,040 Speaker 8: And then you have Tom Homan out there on the 827 00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:15,160 Speaker 8: media circuit that cannot be by accident that he's on 828 00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:18,279 Speaker 8: every media outlet that'll take them right now, because he 829 00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:24,160 Speaker 8: is messaging deportations. So he wants those hundreds of thousands 830 00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:27,360 Speaker 8: to just like go home or stay in place. And 831 00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:30,040 Speaker 8: I think, so far, so good. But they could rush 832 00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:34,359 Speaker 8: that border between now and inauguration and hope that they 833 00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:39,520 Speaker 8: get in and don't get caught up in mass deportation plans. 834 00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:40,080 Speaker 2: Or anything like that. 835 00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:45,279 Speaker 8: So things are unstable, but pretty good so far with 836 00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:46,800 Speaker 8: Trump effect two point zero. 837 00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:53,680 Speaker 9: Okay, and give me a thing again about but what 838 00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:56,160 Speaker 9: are the Biden guys trying to do.
