Speaker 1: great land of ours place sends you all high five.

8
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,600
Speaker 1: So she'll be back a week from today on Monday. Now,

9
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: let's start to look at where we're going here, my friends.

10
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 1: We have signs of America healing and then some signs

11
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: of the markets getting a little choppy. On the progress front.

12
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:48,480
Speaker 1: In Washington, DC, over the weekend there were cruise dismantling

13
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter Plaza, which is just a few blocks

14
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: north of the White House. It was there for over

15
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: four years. And we'll talk about this. What a change

16
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: is underway here. Also not a surprise, but Andrew Cuomo,

17
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: who is going to be running for mayor in New

18
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: York or is running for mayor in New York and

19
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: is already way ahead in the polls. He's starting to

20
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: carve out the quote unquote reasonable Democrat lane because he

21
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: thinks that there is an opportunity for him to not

22
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: just become the mayor, but to become the mayor on

23
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: his way to running for president. He's got some thoughts

24
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: on cops that you will say are obvious, because they are.

25
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: But for Democrats these days, nothing is obvious. And I

26
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: just got that to talk to you about here and

27
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: so much more that we will be diving into. But

28
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: first up, let's talk about where Trump is, where the

29
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,639
Speaker 1: economy is, and what we are going to be told

30
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: in the days ahead about all of this. First off, yes,

31
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: there is amazing stuff happening. Amazing stuff happening. I mean,

32
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: here's an example, a New York Times headline, Inside Trump's

33
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: war on the IRS a menufique. It is a perfection,

34
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,519
Speaker 1: isn't it? Inside Trump's war on the IRIS. Now they're

35
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: saying it's there's gonna stall your audits and the skeleton

36
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: stuff by did hire seventy thousand new IRS ages? What

37
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: are they all doing? Well, we all have some idea

38
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 1: I think of what they were gonna do. Things are

39
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: gonna be quite different. Now we can talk about this.

40
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: IRS might have to shed as much as fifty percent

41
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: of its workforce. This is all part of the remolding

42
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: of the American not just tax but I would say

43
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: American governance code in general. That is underway right now.

44
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: There is a major project of dare I say, national

45
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:08,279
Speaker 1: sovereignty reclamation underway. We are reclaiming things under this Trump administration,

46
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: like our right to not be spent into oblivion, our

47
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: right to say that bureaucrats do not rule over us.

48
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,519
Speaker 1: They are supposed to serve the public, not serve themselves.

49
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: They are not supposed to be tools of partisan attack.

50
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: They're not supposed to be weaponized at the IRS or

51
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 1: the DOJ. All of these things are now underway. It's

52
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: going to take some time. It's not going to happen

53
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: all at once. And this is the part that I

54
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: want to keep reminding you of because the first month

55
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: it was just amazing executive orders. We're all doing maga backflips, fantastic,

56
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: incredible win by Trump, defeated the deep state, defeated the

57
00:03:52,920 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: four farcical criminal prosecutions against him, survive to assassination attempts.

58
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: Just an unbelievable comeback story for Donald Trump. Month one,

59
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: it's setting the tone, setting the agenda, taking actions, executive orders.

60
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: Now we're getting into we're under the hood and it's messy.

61
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 1: There are going to be some tough moments here. It's

62
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 1: not all going to be clear sailing, even with the

63
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: right captain at the helm. And Trump is pointing this

64
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: out himself. He spoke to Maria Barromo over the weekend,

65
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: also speaking on Air Force one, and look, right now,

66
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: the stock market has gotten a little bit of a

67
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: tough day. Nasdaq has fallen three percent. Here as I

68
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: talk to you, Trump hasn't ruled out. Recession is something

69
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: that is now being reported. Trump is saying, look, everybody,

70
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: you can't just watch this has cut six. You can't

71
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: just watch the stock market day to day. We are

72
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: going long term, major transformation to put us in a

73
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: better place as an economy and as a country. Play six.

74
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: He said, Look, we're going to have a disruption, but

75
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: we're okay with that. Is that what you meant the

76
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: stock market going down was the disruption? What theuption where

77
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: you're alluding to?

78
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 2: What I have to do is build a strong country.

79
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 2: You can't really watch the stock market. If you look

80
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 2: at China, they have one hundred year perspective.

81
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 1: We have a quarter. We go by quarters.

82
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 3: That's true, and you can't go by that.

83
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 2: You have to do what's right. What we're doing is

84
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 2: we're building a tremendous foundation for the future, tremendous foundation.

85
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 1: I think Trump giving a little shout out there to

86
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 1: the one hundred Year Marathon about Chinese strategy, a book

87
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: by Michael Pillsbury which I've read and I think a

88
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: lot of you would enjoy it if you're interested in

89
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: the China's view of itself and of the twenty first century,

90
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: its role in the twenty first century. But I think

91
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: Trump is taking exactly the right approach here, which is, yeah,

92
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: we're not going to freak out based on a two

93
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: or three percent market swing in any given day. Here's

94
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: what we have to understand now as a country, as

95
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: Doge and Elon are doing their work, a lot of

96
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: bad stuff has been going on behind the scenes of

97
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: the government. And we look at something like the thirty

98
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: six trillion dollar national debt and we say, oh, my gosh,

99
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: what a massive number. How did we ever get here?

100
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: But there's also been a lot of shenanigans in the

101
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: way that, for example, employment data is reported. Just remember

102
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 1: every single one of Biden's quarters last year were over

103
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 1: reported for jobs, that's part one. So the perception management operation,

104
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: this is like info This is like information warfare that

105
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 1: you'll see in intelligence military side of things, psyops, psychological operations.

106
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: Perception management underway by the media, And the way they

107
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 1: talk about these things was very clear. So they over

108
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: reported the Trump jobs, I'm sorry, the Biden jobs dramatically.

109
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: And what else we've figured out or something else that

110
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: has come to the forefront. I mentioned this a couple

111
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: of days ago on the show, twenty five percent of

112
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: jobs under Biden. I think it was in twenty twenty three,

113
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: but I'm sure the twenty four numbers were very similar.

114
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: Were government chops. That is a massive percentage of government chops.

115
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: If we saw this in another country, we'd say, oh,

116
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: my gosh, they're creating a bureaucracy that is going to

117
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: strangle free enterprise and just be a weight on the

118
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: shoulders of the people. And sure enough, the more we

119
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: look at the numbers, the more we look at the truth,

120
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: we find out that that is what has been going

121
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: on all along. Because bureaucrats cost money. Bureaucrats also decide

122
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: that they want to justify their existence, and so they

123
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: start doing things things that are not necessarily helpful things

124
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: that often are going to slow down the economy and

125
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: going to hurt your freedom and your ability to just

126
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: engage in self determination day in and day out. And

127
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: then there's a step even beyond that, which is the

128
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: weaponization of the bureaucracy, which we have seen, where the

129
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: self aware, unaccountable bureaucracy, formerly known as the swamp, decides

130
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:34,479
Speaker 1: that it is a lever for one half of the

131
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: political spectrum in this country against the other. That is

132
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 1: an entirely unsustainable situation, and it is being addressed. Now. Finally,

133
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: this is happening. Now. I bring this up because there's

134
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: going to be some disruption, as Trump's already said, as

135
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: a result of this. Now, disruption is not a euphemism

136
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: for a depression. Okay, everything is going to be fine

137
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 1: and then better than fine. But when you have to

138
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: fix a problem, right when you go into a situation,

139
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:06,959
Speaker 1: when you step in I don't know how many of

140
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: you have watched the show Kitchen Nightmares with Chef Ramsey.

141
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: I like cooking. Clay does not like cooking. He doesn't cook.

142
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: I like cooking. Chef Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares show at its best,

143
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: was a very entertaining formula. I know, it's very stage

144
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:26,079
Speaker 1: then everything would put that aside. He goes in and

145
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,439
Speaker 1: he's like, who's in charge here? You know, he starts

146
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 1: yelling at him. It's because the place is a mess.

147
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: Trump elon the team. They are looking into the kitchen

148
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 1: and seeing all the creepy Crawley's scurrying around on the

149
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: ground and seeing the you know, the rotted stuff in

150
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: the meat locker, and they're saying, Okay, it's gonna get

151
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: ugly for a second here. To fix this, you got

152
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: to roll up your sleeves and get up to your

153
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: elbows in the muck to try to take this stuff

154
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: to a better place. And this is important for us

155
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: klobs get to understand this because to really do it,

156
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: you're going to have to be willing to take on

157
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:11,719
Speaker 1: some short term pain for long term gate. And when

158
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 1: you have twenty five percent of jobs coming from government jobs,

159
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: which is just adding to the burden on the taxpayer,

160
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: when you turn that around, the economy is used to

161
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: a lot of jobs coming from government, you know GDP growth.

162
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:26,719
Speaker 1: This is like one of the big arguments I used

163
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:31,439
Speaker 1: to have with the open borders Cato Institute Libertarian types. Well,

164
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: the more illegals we have, the bigger our GDP. Yeah,

165
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: but that doesn't mean that individually we're doing better. Quite

166
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: the opposite. Actually, if they are a net drain on

167
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: the economy, and then that's not even taking into it

168
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: the social, political, and cultural costs of unrestricted illegal immigration,

169
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 1: which is what we had under Biden. But of course,

170
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: there are going to be some things that happen here

171
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:56,719
Speaker 1: that can feel a little bit disruptive. One of the

172
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: big ones that I know people are concerned about is tariffs.

173
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: This has cut four Trump is saying, Look, tariffs are

174
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: going to work out phenomenally for us. Let's hear from

175
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: the man himself.

176
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 3: I think the tariffs are going to be the greatest

177
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 3: thing we've ever done as a country. It's going to

178
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 3: make our country rich again. We have many companies, as

179
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 3: you know, Auto companies are opening up plants now. We've

180
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 3: had four or five announced already, but many more are coming.

181
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 3: And we're basically going to take back the money, a

182
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 3: lot of the money that we've given away over many decades.

183
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 3: We've lost our jobs, we've lost our factories. We've lost

184
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 3: ninety thousand factories since the beginning of NAFTA. It's not

185
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 3: that long ago. Ninety thousand factories think of that, and

186
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 3: we're going to get them back, and they're coming back,

187
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 3: and they're coming back at the record.

188
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: This is where we start to see that Trump breaks

189
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 1: with the economic consensus really with both parties, which is

190
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: that tariffs are are a they see tariffs are tax,

191
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: tariffs are a bad thing, and I just take the

192
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 1: I take them expect. First of all, most economists know

193
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: nothing and or wrong about everything. It's just the truth. Okay,

194
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: most of you know. Macroeconomics is true. Microeconomics is generally guesswork.

195
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 1: If economists knew what was going to happen, they'd be

196
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 1: the most valuable people at you know, Goldman, Sachs and

197
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: at all these different We forget about what the CEO says.

198
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: Everyone should just be listening to the economists, right. Economists

199
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: are less reliable than weather men when it comes to prediction.

200
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,439
Speaker 1: And when you look at the trade issues that we're

201
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: talking about here, there are countries that I mean, I

202
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: know this went viral recently when it was pointed out

203
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: that Canada says tariffs are terrible. You know, I know,

204
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: they got the new leadership coming in tariffs are terrible.

205
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: Why are you doing tariffs to us? Why does Canada

206
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: have a tariff on us Gary of two hundred percent

207
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: or something like that. Why do they have to Why

208
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 1: does China have all of these terriffs if it's so

209
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 1: self defeating? Why do other countries do it to us?

210
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: If it's so obviously why do they do it? And

211
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: the people that say that Trump shouldn't do this never

212
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: answer that really, or they say they're just making mistakes.

213
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: It's a lot of other places to be making mistakes

214
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: on this. And then you go beyond that, I think,

215
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: and you say, what are the long term implications for

216
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: this country having more domestic industry, of having more things here?

217
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: What does in America first? America first economic development policy

218
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: look like? It doesn't put all people on equal footing

219
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: around the world. It's what's best for Americans, right, So

220
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,199
Speaker 1: that doesn't necessarily look like what everybody else is going

221
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: to like and want to do or want us to do.

222
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,199
Speaker 1: So with Trump, I know, I said, Chef Ramsey, before

223
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 1: you know, Trump is in the kitchen. You gotta let

224
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 1: the guy cook, you gotta let him do his thing,

225
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: you gotta let him get after a bit some of

226
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: this is just going to be a negotiation tactic. Some

227
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: of this is going to be conversations that are had

228
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: behind closed doors that come to some you know that

229
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: they said, oh my gosh, Trump is going to tear

230
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: up NAFTA. I remember this, Trump is going to tear

231
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: up NAFTA. What's he doing? People who understood the economic

232
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:12,959
Speaker 1: realities of NAFTA across the board we're saying, which is

233
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:14,959
Speaker 1: very few people, I might add, not the politicians that

234
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: talk about it. They know nothing, but they would say,

235
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: of course NAFTA has to be renegotiated. It's been twenty years.

236
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: Of course it needs to be changed. NAFTA came into

237
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: existence initially before there was really much of an internet economy.

238
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: Things have changed. Trump was right, the other side was wrong.

239
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: Let's see how he does it. I think he has

240
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: earned the ability to have the support of all people

241
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: of good will in this country on some of these issues.

242
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: I know some of them are gonna hate him forever

243
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: because look at the incredible changes he is already engaged in,

244
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: and look at the way that he has proven the

245
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: detractors wrong time and time again. So a little bit

246
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: of disruption, a little bit of the markets. That's just

247
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: what the Democrats. Oh, let's talk about the Democrats in

248
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: their opposition to this. In a second, they're going to

249
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: start to hone in on this. Hey, Trump is tearing

250
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: everything apart. No he's not. They just have nothing else

251
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: to say. We'll get to it. So, as I said,

252
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: our stock markets are experiencing a little turbulence and investors

253
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: can sometimes panic, and I don't want you to panic.

254
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: I just want you to prepare, be smart, look at

255
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: where things are going, and take the long term view.

256
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: That is always so key. Buying gold right now, that's

257
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: long term view, especially with an economy that could have

258
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: some mumps and downs coming up here. So gold is

259
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,840

280
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: they're digging into right now for the opposition to trumpets.

281
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, he's going to he's going to run

282
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: the economy off a cliff. No, he's not, and we

283
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: all know this. But anything that they can say that

284
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: will sour the mood of some Americans about what Trump

285
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: is trying to do, they will do. But I will

286
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 1: just know this. In a New York Times piece about

287
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 1: Trump's possible recession, they're already talking about this. Remember under Biden,

288
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 1: they wanted to change the definition of recession. Two quarters

289
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 1: of negative negative growth recession. And then all of a sudden,

290
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: we're getting think pieces the New York Times because it

291
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 1: was Biden as president, puppet president, think pieces where they're saying, well,

292
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 1: is that really a recession? Though I think it's something

293
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: else makes it a recession. But here's what they say.

294
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: The economic backdrop this the New York Times is still

295
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 1: solid by many metrics, but policies like tariffs, deportation, and

296
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 1: steep government spending cuts will test that resilience. So having

297
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: illegals in the country makes us richer, and having government

298
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: spend us into oblivion makes us richer. According to The New

299
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 1: York Times, apparently, I think we should address this. Rapid

300
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 1: Radio's walkie talkies are incredible. They let you communicate with

301
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 1: the touch of a button, kind of like those old

302
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 1: school walkie talkies you had as a kid, except these

303
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: let you talk to anyone throughout the country. Rapid radios

304
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: operate on a nationwide LTE network of cell phone towers,

305
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: which is key during a disruption. They became invaluable to

306
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: my in laws last October when Hurricane Helene left the

307
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: family and so many others without a way to communicate.

308
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,520

Speaker 1: back in to Clay and Buck and oh my, so

319
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 1: much going on here. I just touched on this before

320
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: because you have I have wampomp stock markets not having

321
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: a great day, and a lot of you are like, well,

322
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:08,199
Speaker 1: I'm not even that into the market, right, Maybe some

323
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: of you don't don't really actively trade anything. Yeah, but

324
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 1: people use this as a proxy for economic sentiment. It's

325
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 1: really not economic fundamentally. It's really just the fear and

326
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:22,919
Speaker 1: greed that drive the markets. And we should keep that

327
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: in mind because addressing those fundamentals, looking at what has

328
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 1: gone wrong within the economic machine of America. You know,

329
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 1: starting to pull some of the old broken wires and

330
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 1: things like that and starting to deal with it is

331
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 1: going to create some moments of unease. Also, we have

332
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: a spending addiction in this country. We should be honest

333
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: about that. Politically speaking, we have a spending addiction. Both

334
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,679
Speaker 1: parties spend too much money. And we've known this for

335
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: a long time. Remember I got into this fifteen years ago.

336
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: Fourteen years ago whatever the tea party. I wasn't a

337
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: tea party guy. I got in a media and then

338
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: the tea party was happening. But everybody was very concerned,

339
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: rightly so, about the spending that was going to occur

340
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: under Obama. And it was a blowout of spending was crazy.

341
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,719
Speaker 1: And we've had nothing but the continuation of that since.

342
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: And this is a big problem now. I know, under

343
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 1: the first Trump term, you could say, look COVID once

344
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: in a century situation with the pandemic. Yeah, but we

345
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 1: spent too much money. It was an emergency, but because

346
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: we had already been racking up too many debts before that,

347
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: it still hurts, right, we didn't have the emergency fund

348
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: for COVID. We just printed more money, and now we

349
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 1: have stubborn inflation. Now we have these problems. Trying to

350
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: address this is going to cause some of its own

351
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: short term issues. And this is why I think it's

352
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:59,159
Speaker 1: important to understand what democrats view as the economy versus

353
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: what is the real economy. I mentioned in the New

354
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 1: York Times, they had the economic This is the quote

355
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 1: from the It's all about is Trump causing a recession?

356
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 1: This is the moment, this is what they're in right now.

357
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: Is Trump causing a recession? And even if there's no

358
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,679
Speaker 1: data to support this, if it clearly does not happen,

359
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. The damage is done. They're doing perception warfare,

360
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: Trump bad, Tariff's bad, Trump recession. They're just trying to

361
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: like an ad campaign, almost, they're trying to associate words.

362
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: In your mind, it's a mass conditioning of the public

363
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: that they're engaged in. So, you know, people would say

364
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 1: it's Pavlovian, like you hit the bell, though it actually

365
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: wasn't a bell. It was a metronome or a buzzer.

366
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: But that's a whole other conversation. People just think what

367
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 1: they think about this stuff, same way that people think

368
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: that lemmings commit suicide. No, they don't go find out

369
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 1: what Disney did to make people think that lemmings commit suicide.

370
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: Mass psychology is a fascinating area of study, perhaps a

371
00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: fascinating area of study for a book that will be

372
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: coming out next fall anyway, by yours truly. So we

373
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 1: have the Democrats trying to make this case. Meanwhile, in

374
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: the New York Times, peace on is this a recession?

375
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: The economic backdrop looks solid. They have to say that

376
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: because they look at the numbers and also hasn't been

377
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 1: that long. They were telling us it was fine under

378
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: Biden a few months ago. Now it's all our weat

379
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: a recession. Policies like tariffs, okay, that one that one

380
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 1: people of good you know, goodwill can disagree or people

381
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: who know what they're talking about can come to different conclusions.

382
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,679
Speaker 1: I think tariffs are a tool, and I think that

383
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: it's specific to which tariff against whom, in what context.

384
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: You know, the country was funded by tariffs until we

385
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 1: had the income tax the United States was, which is

386
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 1: another thing that more people should know. Think about that

387
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: we lasted a long time without an income tax. We

388
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: just we just had tariffs. So but the fact that

389
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: deportations and government spending are listed here as two things

390
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 1: to be concerned about. Now. On the government spending part

391
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: of this, Yeah, but that's money we shouldn't be spending.

392
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: Right If you're running up a credit card bill and

393
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:17,719
Speaker 1: I tell you can't keep going to you know, the

394
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: air Mez store for your wife and buying five thousand

395
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: dollars handbags and you that's a thing. I know people

396
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: spend that time. I don't know ladies love bags. I

397
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,160
Speaker 1: don't know what that is. But my bag is from

398
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: north Face, It's twenty years old. Uh, but lately you

399
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: know this like my backpack. If I told you to

400
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 1: stop spending, yeah, I would be decreasing your economic activity,

401
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,439
Speaker 1: That is true. And for a moment you'd be like,

402
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 1: but I like going to Costco and running up all

403
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 1: those debts. But the point is to get under control,

404
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 1: you have to stop doing that. There's a trade off

405
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,120
Speaker 1: in this. So of course, if you stop the out

406
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 1: of control government spending, there's going to be a little

407
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 1: bit of a of a shock factor in some of

408
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 1: the economy. With we're not just creating this illusion of

409
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: economic growth, because that's really what it is. And then

410
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: on deportations. This is because they keep telling us, Oh,

411
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 1: but who's going to, you know, work construction. Let me say,

412
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 1: most construction is not done by illegals. So they say

413
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:18,919
Speaker 1: these things, they don't know the numbers. A vast majority

414
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: of construction is not done by illegals. But they'll say,

415
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 1: who's going to work in agriculture, who's going to do

416
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: And you say Americans? And they might have to get

417
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: paid a little bit more, yes, and that might result

418
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 1: in some additional costs. But you know what also won't happen.

419
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: Fifteen billion dollars being spent by New York City born

420
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 1: as an expense by taxpayers, by Americans to put illegals

421
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,160
Speaker 1: in hotels and pay for their food and everything else.

422
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 1: The notion that illegals who come here are a net

423
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: positive to the economy is lunacy. Is lunacy. We the

424
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: American people, have run up thirty six trillion dollars of debt.

425
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: A lot of that is is sure, there's the waste fraud,

426
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 1: an abuse component, but a lot of it is entitlement spending.

427
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 1: A lot of it is just the government using your

428
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: tax dollars like a little piggy bank. That's the American people,

429
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: you're gonna tell me that what happens to the twenty

430
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 1: or thirty million illegals And I don't know the number,

431
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 1: nobody does, but twenty or thirty million illegals were in

432
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: the country. When they're all at retirement age, they're just

433
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 1: going to be depending on the system for healthcare. Trust me,

434
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 1: they don't have four oh one k's to pay for

435
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: all of their healthcare. So that's not going to happen.

436
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: It's going to be an expense on all of us

437
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:32,679
Speaker 1: when you look at the long term implications, when you

438
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 1: look at how in our immigration policy currently, in our

439
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: immigration laws, you are not allowed to be a dependent

440
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: on the state if you come to it. And that's

441
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:49,120
Speaker 1: for legal immigrants too. This is a promise made via

442
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: legislation by Congress to the American people that is completely ignored.

443
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: So that alone, when you start to look at the

444
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: numbers the long term costs, you realize, oh my gosh,

445
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 1: we've been had, We've been lied to about all of this.

446
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 1: And then you have the other thing to really keep

447
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: in mind, which is that the Democrats are nuts. Here's

448
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: Trump cut three reminding everybody that while what he's doing

449
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 1: is going to require a little bit of patience and

450
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: a little bit of trust, a little bit of faith

451
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: in the America First Agenda. The other side are the

452
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: wackos who are the reason that Trump is back in

453
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 1: charge again because they can't do, they can't govern, they

454
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 1: don't know what they're doing. Play three.

455
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 3: The Democrats are out of control. You saw that the

456
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:38,399
Speaker 3: other night during the speech when they wouldn't stand up

457
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 3: for two of the young ladies were killed by illegal aliens,

458
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 3: one with the cancer, the young man with the cancer.

459
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 3: And all you want to do is stand up and

460
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 3: employed the man.

461
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 1: And the boy a young boy.

462
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 3: And nobody's ever seen anything like that. They're out of control.

463
00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 3: They've lost their minds.

464
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 1: True, they are out of control and they have lost

465
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: their minds. And this is a massive problem for the

466
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 1: country because even though they're not in power right now,

467
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 1: for one of two major political parties in America to

468
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 1: be in a state of perpetual delusion is really bad

469
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: for us. It would be nice if we had the

470
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: America First Agenda, Trump the Trump team, and then there

471
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,919
Speaker 1: was you know, the second option was people who weren't

472
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: as good but weren't crazy. But no, we have crazy.

473
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 1: We have people who are dealing with an alternate reality

474
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 1: as their vision of what should be going on in America.

475
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: And you know, you see this even if some Democrats

476
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: come forward and they try to seem reasonable and rational.

477
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 1: You see this with Gavin Newsom, you see this with

478
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:56,360
Speaker 1: Andrew Cuomo. These people, the top figures of the Democrat

479
00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 1: Party know that what the Democrat Party he wants and

480
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: where it stands on some issues does not work in

481
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,679
Speaker 1: the real world. But they also know that their constituents,

482
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 1: they're voters, the dem machine doesn't care. They want what

483
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 1: they want because it feels good to want it. And

484
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 1: this is true when you hear them talking about Ukraine

485
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 1: as well. I keep saying this. People are asking, oh, well,

486
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: what do you think about what Trump is doing on Ukraine,

487
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 1: and say, well, hold on a second. This is like

488
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:35,199
Speaker 1: asking me to assess how well a coach did in

489
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 1: the super Bowl the day before the super Bowl. I

490
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: don't know yet, but I do know that if he's

491
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 1: made his way to the super Bowl, and in this

492
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: case that's Trump, if he's gotten that far, if he

493
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: has a track record of extreme success, to bash him

494
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: before he's able to do the thing he's trying to

495
00:28:54,720 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: do makes no sense, and so on you frame which

496
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: you have are people who have become and when I

497
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: say people a party, the Democrat Party, which has become

498
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: so emotionally invested in this. They really believe that this

499
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 1: is just a good versus evil contest and anything we

500
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: can do to help the good Ukraine against the evil

501
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: Russia we should do. But to this I always say, well,

502
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 1: hold on, if it's that important, why not send US

503
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 1: troops to do the fighting, which I know is terrible

504
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 1: and I would never want that, but I would ask

505
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 1: this question to people that believe in it. So, oh, well,

506
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: we don't have to do that. Ukraine is going to

507
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: keep fighting where they're running out of people. They've lost

508
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: an entire generation of young Ukrainian men, and for what.

509
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: When you start to look at this conflict like an

510
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: adult instead of looking at it like it's you know,

511
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 1: Frodo and Sam Wise against Sourn and the Lord of

512
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: the Rings, you start to see that there's more nuanced here,

513
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 1: and we need to bring this to a conclusion. Here's Trump,

514
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: by the way, getting getting annoyed when he's this cut.

515
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 1: Five reporter annoys Trump asking if Putin was disrespecting him

516
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 1: by attacking Ukraine. Play this by attacking Ukraine?

517
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 3: Who put disrespecting you by attacking What did he do?

518
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 2: Well?

519
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: He's attacking Ukraine?

520
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 3: Is he disrespecting me?

521
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:28,239
Speaker 2: Who?

522
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 1: Who are you? As'm Michael Burbout Washington.

523
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 3: Uh, you must a lot of credibility. Go ahead? What else?

524
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's exactly the you know, you know what? This

525
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 1: is where I want to bring out one of my

526
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: old favorite Trump memes from term one. Stupid question, stupid question,

527
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 1: A very stupid question from the Washington Post supporter. There

528
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 1: there's a war going on. Is putin disrespecting you by

529
00:30:55,840 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 1: his military on the ground continuing to make advance? Is

530
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 1: where they like? What kind of a question is that?

531
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 1: How does this person have a job where their job

532
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 1: is to ask questions to get people information they need

533
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: for our democracy. That's not the job though, as you know,

534
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: the job of the Washington Post is trash Trump and

535
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: help Democrats. That's the app Now Jeff Bezos is tinkering

536
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 1: with that a little bit. But the job of the

537
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 1: Washington Post is absolutely not to get important information out

538
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: to the public without fear or favor. That's laughable. We

539
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 1: all know that. I mean, we don't have to get

540
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: into that. But the childlike understanding of these of this

541
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: conflict that so many Democrats seem to have, it's it's

542
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 1: astonishing to me. And they don't even have a better alternative.

543
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: If it's so important, why don't they gear up themselves

544
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: and go volunteer. There are volunteer brigade brigades in Ukraine.

545
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: If Russia, somehow we are to believe that Russia, which

546
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: is stalled out fighting right now against Ukraine, although they

547
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:05,239
Speaker 1: do have the momentum, but still it's been years that

548
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: Russia is stalled out fighting against Ukraine. But if we

549
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: don't continue this conflict ad infinitum, Russia is going to

550
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 1: run over the rest of European contiguous countries with the

551
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: Russian Federation, triggering Article five and NATO and no big

552
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,959
Speaker 1: deal because they'll just be able to do that. That's insane,

553
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: This is crazy. That's not gonna happen, Okay. Putin is

554
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 1: not about to roll tanks into Warsaw or Berlin next.

555
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 1: That's not happening, but they say it will. I don't

556
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: think you should listen to people who have no idea

557
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 1: what they're talking about, and that includes all these people

558
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 1: criticizing Trump on Ukraine right now. They have no better

559
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 1: ideas and they don't see this clearly. It's kind of

560
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: a trend when it comes to the critics of Trump lately. Look,

561
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: these are good days to be a sports fan, even

562
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: I the occasional fan, as you know, I am aware.

563
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: I mean Major League Baseball's opening day starts in less

564
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: than two weeks, and in Japan this year no less,

565
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: very cool. NHL and NBA leagues are heating up with

566
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,440

Speaker 1: of your emails, all that great stuff. Let you know

590
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 1: where we're going here. Cuomo Andrew Cuomo. He is running

591
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 1: for mayor, and it is probably he's gonna win. Probably

592
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 1: it's not guaranteed, but it is likely he's gonna win

593
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 1: mayor of New York, which I mean New York is

594
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 1: always gonna it's always gonna be my hometown, you know.

595
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm always gonna be partial to NYC.

596
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:40,800
Speaker 1: I cannot believe this guy's gonna be the mayor, but

597
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be the mayor. We'll talk about

598
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 1: one way that he is packaging himself, not just for that,

599
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 1: but I think for the national stage that he is

600
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 1: going to try to vault himself onto and also want

601
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: to remind you. Get to Crocket Coffee, my friends. I'm
