1 00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:05,360 Speaker 1: GOP leadership. Who are we gonna pick. We'll talk about that. 2 00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,600 Speaker 1: We'll talk about FTX, we have a hilarious light in 3 00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,360 Speaker 1: the mood. We'll talk about Trump's big announcement. All that's 4 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:22,119 Speaker 1: coming up and I'm right. So those are the two 5 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 1: big news items of the day. Out of the right. 6 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: Trump made his announcement for President's surprise, surprise, Kevin McCarthy's 7 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 1: gonna be speaker. The house looks like again, surprise, surprise 8 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,240 Speaker 1: that all this stuff is Earth's shattering. If you didn't 9 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,560 Speaker 1: know this stuff is coming, it's because you don't watch 10 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 1: I'm Right every single night, or read my boy Ryan Gerdusky, 11 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: who's one of the sharper political minds I know, joining 12 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 1: me now, founder of the seventeen seventy six pack. He 13 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: doesn't know I'm about to hit him up and come 14 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,840 Speaker 1: help out my school board in my hometown, Ryan Gerdusky, 15 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 1: Ryan Trump's Trump's running, Kevin McCarthy's running. Before we get 16 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: to my hometown. React, I'm not surprised by any of that. 17 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 1: I thought Kevin McCarthy was gonna win, and and I 18 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,960 Speaker 1: don't think he raised so much money. I don't see 19 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 1: how he had any serious opposition. The real question of 20 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 1: who wins the whip rays Tom Emmer or Jim Banks. 21 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: And they're just signing that right now, and I hope 22 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 1: it's Jim Banks, but will sit there and see. I 23 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: guess Ryan. Okay, let's move on from all this garbage 24 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: to Arizona. Looks like Arizona belongs to Katie Hobbs and everybody. 25 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: Whenever you lose an election, everyone picks the person they 26 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: liked the least and they blame them for it. Either 27 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: you're blaming fraud or Mitch McConnell or Donald Trump, or 28 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,839 Speaker 1: you blame the candidate too far right, too far left. 29 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: You look at this stuff fairly dispassionately, which I love 30 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: and I don't always do. Why do we lose Arizona? Well, 31 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: it's interesting. There were eight elections in Arizona, nine candidates, 32 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: because one of the races had two winners, like they 33 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: ran the top two in the top two one. And 34 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: Republicans won five of those races and lost four of them. 35 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: The people who lost or losing as of right now, 36 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: maybe one will win. We're big people who said that 37 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty election was stolen, and the five who 38 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: won did not mention it and whether you believe it 39 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: was stolen or you don't believe it was stolen, it's 40 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,679 Speaker 1: time to move on. It's exhausting. It's an exhausting thing. 41 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: It turns off college educated voters, it turns off people 42 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: who are moderate, It turns off people who dislike Rock, 43 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 1: dislike Joe Biden. But ye one, Tom Horn won. Tom 44 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: Horren is not being mentioned very often in the media 45 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: right now. He beat the incumbent Democrat for state superintendent 46 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: of Education. He ran an opposing critical race theory at 47 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 1: prosing dei, stopping bilingual education in Arizona and ending cultural 48 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: ethnic studies programs, and he won. You can win as 49 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: a fire breathing Republican. You just can't sit there and 50 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: exhaust and give anxiety that we're going to have another 51 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: four more years of debating ballots from two years years ago. 52 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: And I really think that negatively affected Carry Lake and 53 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: Blake Masters and mit A Finchman and Abe whatever his 54 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 1: last name is. May. When the Train General's race, it's 55 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: very very narrow, but it shouldn't be. But you can 56 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: run as a conservative, and you can when you can 57 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: a Maricopa County. We won the state DA's race in 58 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 1: Maricopa County, Republicans did. We just didn't focus on the 59 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: twenty twenty election anymore. It's time to move on. It 60 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: is so toxic to voters. Okay, Sondy Country, No, No. 61 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: I asked for a dispassionate answer, and I agree with you. 62 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: I believe, actually two things can be true at once, 63 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: that we have a long way to go to secure 64 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: vote voting, voter integrity in this country. Well, at the 65 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: same time, we could not campaign on the issue. I 66 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: don't see why those things are conflicting. I care about 67 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: a voter ID I care about making sure every vote 68 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: gets counted. But if you're out there running for it 69 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: as governor, senator, president, I think you are an absolute 70 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: You're a loser, and you're on a loser I losing 71 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: issue right. And here's the thing that I get so 72 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: annoyed about is that if it was a conspiracy that 73 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: they stole the election, why did they give the most 74 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: right wing person on the ballot against CRT o win. 75 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,720 Speaker 1: It's not about selling the election. It's about exhausting and 76 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,359 Speaker 1: alienating these very moderate voters who are with us on cline, 77 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 1: they're with us in immigration, they're with us in so 78 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: many things, but running people who want to relitigate twenty 79 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: twenty or want to talk about abortion sometimes in the 80 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: most extreme manners, pushes them towards Democrats when they're not 81 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: there to begin with. There is a real showing that 82 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: Bronda Santas and Greg Abbott and Lee Zelden ran very 83 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 1: effective and Mike Dwine ran very effective campaigns. And you 84 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,479 Speaker 1: could say some of them are more moderate Republicans, and 85 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: that's absolutely fine, but they won by gigantic margins. Eldon 86 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 1: win margin lost but forty seven percent and he won 87 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: the House. So that is what the important thing is 88 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: is that they removed the needle every which way you can, 89 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: and you know, spending your day, you could exhaust me. 90 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: What frustrates me about Carry Lake And I called her 91 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,479 Speaker 1: campaign and told her this over and over and over again. 92 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,279 Speaker 1: Stop attacking John McCain. There have been a lot of 93 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 1: bad Republicans in the history of bad Americans, bad politicians. 94 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: Ted Kennedy destroyed this country in so many horrendous ways. 95 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 1: No one runs against Ted kenn anymore because he's dead. 96 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 1: John McCain is dead. Let it rest and move on. 97 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: What's the future, not the past? That should have been 98 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: the message, and I think that was very telling and 99 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: very that hurt her down ballot in a lot of ways. 100 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 1: So I think going forward, let's tell out what we're 101 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: gonna do for the country. What are we gonna do 102 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 1: on education, What are we gonna do on quality of 103 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: life issues like crime, like our rows, like our infrastructure, 104 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: like jobs. This is what voters wanted to hear in 105 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 1: this election, not get caught up in Salem a new 106 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 1: shop up the past. Okay, Now I want to rewind 107 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 1: to leadership here, because well Josh Holly had this to say. 108 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: I think that this election was the funeral for the 109 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,599 Speaker 1: Republican parties. We know the Republican Party as we have 110 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: known it is dead, and voters have made that clear. Okay, Ryan, 111 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: whether or not you agree with him there, I don't see. 112 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: I don't see Republicans having the stones to bounce all 113 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,919 Speaker 1: these old establishment types like McConnell and choose a new direction. 114 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: I wish they did, but I don't see elected Republicans 115 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: having the guts to do that, do you. I think 116 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: that there is two methods right now to the madness. 117 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 1: I think you'll have people like Ron Johnson, like Lindsey Graham, 118 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: like Marco Rubio, we're saying, bounce McConnell. And then you 119 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 1: have people like Tom Cotton who are saying there should 120 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: be new leadership, but let's wait till McConnell retires. And 121 00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: I think that that's really where that people are running 122 00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: on the inside track versus the outside track. McConnell is 123 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: in a very weak moment, not only because McConnell is 124 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: a man of a certain age and the election did 125 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 1: not go well, but for the fact that his two 126 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: biggest deputies, John Cornyn and John Thune, one from Texas, 127 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: one from South Dakota, are immensely weak people who cannot 128 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: follow in his footsteps and leadership. Change in leadership is 129 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: clearly capable of happening, and it's just a matter of 130 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: flying the one person that will take his place when 131 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: McConnell retires. I mean, McConnell's a man in particular age. 132 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 1: He's not going to sit there and last forever. And 133 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: if they don't have somebody that they're going to sit 134 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: there and work with and they're going to I mean 135 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: that they might just falter. But I think that the 136 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: inside track is there right now to replace the entire establishment, 137 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: and it's just really a waiting game. So find if 138 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 1: Tom Cotton wants it that he is the most likely 139 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: Candida to take over the entire Senate wing of the 140 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: g O Pig in my opinion. Okay, now let's move 141 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 1: on to the good news. Know how much I love 142 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 1: these seventeen seventy six Project Pack. I've told you that 143 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: personally and publicly several times. We are not going to 144 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: save this country from the filth of Washington. D C 145 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: will save it from local elections, school board elections. Everyone's 146 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: down and out. We don't have the Senate, we barely 147 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: have the House. Everything sucks, Ryan does everything sucker? Do 148 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: we win some school board races? We did win some 149 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: school board races. So we invested in I want to say, 150 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: a dozen school board districts, and we won in about 151 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: nine of them in major counties. What we did was, 152 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: and we do win the majority of candidates because one 153 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: of our the area. We had a lot of candidates 154 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: and didn't produce well in Michigan, but we did win 155 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,679 Speaker 1: in Carroll County, in Frederick County. We won in the 156 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: state school board in Ohio, we won statewide. Oklahoma, we 157 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: won in Florida, and we won a school board seat 158 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: in Arkansas. But more than just my pack and my packet, 159 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,440 Speaker 1: okay night, it was what We've had a great track record, 160 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 1: one hundred and two victories over the course of one 161 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 1: year for school board seats, bigger than just my pack 162 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:05,839 Speaker 1: school board candidates one in northern New Jersey, Minnesota, as 163 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 1: I said, in Maryland, Arizona, as I said before statewide, 164 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,079 Speaker 1: they swept the Kansas school Board of Education. All of 165 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 1: those places Conservatives one and they won in gigantic numbers. 166 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: And I'll say to anyone in your audience, if you 167 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 1: feel down and out, if you feel like, oh, this 168 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 1: was in a great election year, guess what. Twenty nine 169 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: states are holding school board elections this year, starting in April, 170 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: the April election in Illinois, Wisconsin, Alaska, and one other 171 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: state like almost Texas. I believe it is. Yeah, they 172 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 1: are holding school board elections and it'll be low turnout. 173 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 1: Every vote, every conservative vote will matter. We can literally 174 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: win with ten percent turnout in these style elections. This 175 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: is where my pack is dominated in the past and 176 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: where we're going to dominate in twenty twenty three. And 177 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 1: we can run the gamut run for school board. It's 178 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 1: so available and so easy. It doesn't take a lot 179 00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: of money, and it doesn't take a lot of votes, 180 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 1: and we can really win across the country. But I'm 181 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: not qualified. Maybe you're sitting there saying that to yourself 182 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: while Ryan says it. No, the dirty communist scum that's 183 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:12,839 Speaker 1: there isn't qualified. You normal person, You are qualified. Ryan, 184 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: don't be ignoring my text. What I call them trying 185 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: to be into my hometown. Thank you, brother, I appreciate 186 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: your boss. You are qualified. I'm just this. Everyone says 187 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: that I'm just a mom, just a stay at home mom. 188 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: You are qualified, Jesse, I'm not. I drive a forklift. 189 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 1: You're qualified. The people educating the children of this nation 190 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 1: have shaped this nation. If you are disgusted by the 191 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: state of this station, look to the people who've educated 192 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 1: the children and go become one of them. Take over 193 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,199 Speaker 1: your school board, and let me tell you something. Don't 194 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,959 Speaker 1: convince yourself because you're in a red area that, wow, 195 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 1: my school board's fine. Not true. There are blood red 196 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:59,079 Speaker 1: areas across the country with all Democrats on the school board. 197 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: Because we ignore it, we don't pay attention to it. 198 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: Go run or help someone else run we can win. 199 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 1: All right there. All that may have made you uncomfortable. 200 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 1: You're sitting there scrimming in your pants because you know 201 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,319 Speaker 1: you should run. But I'm still right now. If you're 202 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,679 Speaker 1: feeling uncomfortable right now, or you're anxious, I'm not sure 203 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 1: about the country. You're running for school board, you know 204 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,079 Speaker 1: what you need. This is what I do whenever I'm 205 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 1: feeling anxious or uncomfortable, I don't know what to do. 206 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: I eat a steak. That's what I do. I go 207 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 1: out and I find some form of delicious food and 208 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: I eat it because I routinely eat my feelings, and 209 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 1: I have an unhealthy relationship with food. That's why I 210 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:42,080 Speaker 1: have an unhealthy relationship with Shwank Grills. Because they have 211 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 1: a portable grill that cooks said fifteen hundred degrees, just 212 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:52,199 Speaker 1: like that steakhouse you love so much. We're talking steaks perfect, 213 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: three to four minutes, lobster tails, Sam, and it's portable. 214 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: You want to take it to the tailgate this Saturday. 215 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: Take it to the tailgate. I want to take it 216 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 1: to the neighbors. Take it to the neighbors.

Each morning, 222 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 1: the President of the United States receives a highly classified 223 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 1: briefing on the most important issues facing the country. It's 224 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 1: called the President's Daily Brief or PDB. It's delivered by 225 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 1: America's spies and analysts. Well, now you can hear your 226 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: very own PDB in the form of a podcast hosted 227 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: by me Brian Dean Wright, a former CIA operations officer. 228 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,079 Speaker 1: Each morning at six am Eastern, I'll bring you fifteen 229 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: to twenty minutes of the most important issues facing the country, 230 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: giving you the critical intelligence and analysis you need to 231 00:12:55,520 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: start your morning. Despite all of what has been said 232 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: by Donald Trump and other election deniers, and now beginning 233 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 1: to be also Kelly Ward, who was falling behind about 234 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: you know, Katy Bob Hobbs, but the governor's phrase map. 235 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:25,319 Speaker 1: Maricopa County has some of the best vote counting processes 236 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: because of passport. Best vote counting. It's it's Tuesday. It's 237 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: been a week. Joining me now my friend Robbie Starbuck 238 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:42,319 Speaker 1: of the Robbie Starbucks Show that is coming to December. First, Robbie, 239 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 1: do they have some of the best vote counting processes 240 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 1: in Maricopa County. I had to really try hard to 241 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 1: not just be laughing like crazy for the next five minutes. 242 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 1: It's ludicrous. And by the way, I'm pretty sure Andrea 243 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: Mitchell has caught whatever brain worm Joe Biden has, because 244 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 1: it took her a long time to spit that out. 245 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,839 Speaker 1: I mean, what is there to say? Everybody saw what's 246 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 1: going on in Maricopa County. If you think that this 247 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 1: is good, I'd hate to see what you think is bad. Robbie, 248 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: all right, you were up against the machine. The machine 249 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 1: did you wrong? For those who don't know your story, 250 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: why aren't you a congressman elect? Right now? You know? 251 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: I think that a fair way to put this would 252 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 1: be that candidates like me and you know, Blake Masters 253 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: and say, carry Lake. There's a lot of mountains to climb, 254 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: and you know this having formally run for Congress yourself, 255 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: because you're fighting against a machine that opposes not just 256 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 1: what you believe in, but the way that you present 257 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: what you believe in, which is really a presentation that 258 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: is an alignment with your average American citizen. And so 259 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: a lot of people don't realize this sort of financial 260 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 1: burdens and everything else that goes along with this. But 261 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: when the establishment all that I was not going to 262 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 1: play ball on a lot of fronts, especially the pharmaceutical front, 263 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 1: they really turned their knives on me. And that was 264 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: really the turning point that I could pinpoint. People asked me, 265 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 1: what was the point where you really saw that they 266 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 1: turned on you, Because if you remember back Jesse, when 267 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: I was first running, there was a whole lot of 268 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: excitement and everybody was kind of behind me, you know, 269 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 1: it was pretty universal. And that was really when things 270 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 1: changed when they saw I refused pharmaceutical pack dollars and 271 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 1: I refused, you know, some of these big donors dollars, 272 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 1: and I said, you know, I'd rather my wife and 273 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 1: I even throw in our own money and go with 274 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 1: our grassroots donators and run things a little bit differently, 275 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 1: because I wanted it to be a model of really 276 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 1: working for the people and not owing votes to anyone. 277 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: And unfortunately that's a model that is very threatening to them, 278 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: because if we have a reality where that is what 279 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: our system is made of, is by the people, for 280 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 1: the people, then those big money globalist elites they lose 281 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 1: their power. And so when you threaten the system like that, 282 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 1: they will do everything they can to undermine you. And 283 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: they did that, you know, and so they use different 284 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: mechanisms try to get rid of me. We fought it, 285 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: but unfortunately fighting it is not only always good enough. 286 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 1: We took it as far as it could go to 287 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 1: the State Supreme Court, and of course, you know, there's 288 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: our political appointees, and we got a political decision and 289 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: I wasn't allowed to even be on the ballot. Moving 290 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 1: on to the kids stuff. You've made this a priority 291 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: for you, and I love that. What we're doing to 292 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 1: children in this country is disgraceful. Just telling me, Robbie, 293 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 1: are we winning? Are we losing? How's that going? I 294 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: would say it's a little bit of both. I mean, 295 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: we're winning on the front of battling this stuff and 296 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 1: getting it out of our red states, and I think, 297 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 1: honestly as speaks to the future of our country, where 298 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 1: I think we are going to balkanize in many ways 299 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 1: and have our states in their states, and we have 300 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 1: diametrically opposed views on what's appropriate. But you know, we've 301 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: led the church here in Tennessee to being lessay drag 302 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: shows for kids in general, mutilation for kids, and hormones 303 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: and puberty blockers. Those bills have all been introduced now here, 304 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 1: and I challenge state rep senitives across the country to 305 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 1: jump on board and do the same thing. And so 306 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 1: far in the last week from that challenge, we've had 307 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:10,159 Speaker 1: state reps from Idaho and Missouri also commit to introducing 308 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 1: bills that will copy the language from the Tennessee bill 309 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 1: here that Senator Jack Johnson brought forward that will essentially 310 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 1: ban all drag shows in public view where where a 311 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 1: child can see it. Anywhere in public or private view 312 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,199 Speaker 1: where a child can see it will be banned, but 313 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,959 Speaker 1: also being from all public property period because the idea 314 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,160 Speaker 1: that you know, we would host strip clubs on public 315 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:35,159 Speaker 1: property is absolutely ludicrous. So it's the same thing when 316 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 1: it comes to drag shows, whether or not children or there, 317 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 1: it's not something that the city needs to be involved 318 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,439 Speaker 1: in hosting in a public place. So that's sort of 319 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 1: the gist of the fight. That we're after on these issues, 320 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 1: but it goes even further. I mean, this is an 321 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 1: ideological war between two sides where you know, can we 322 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 1: co exist? And I argue that in any marriage or 323 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,919 Speaker 1: relationship you could not coexist with this large of a 324 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,680 Speaker 1: gap in terms of what you believe in and so, 325 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 1: you know, lives up. TikTok just posted fantastic account. I'm 326 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 1: sure people all follow, but if you don't, you need 327 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 1: to look it up. They just posted this Pride event 328 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 1: that happened and they had dial goes that they were 329 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 1: having children used for ring toss. Okay, I can't coexist 330 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: with people who believe that's appropriate. And I'm talking little kids. Okay. 331 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,880 Speaker 1: That is something that you know, ten, fifteen, twenty years ago, 332 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 1: everybody universally would have said this is insane, totally inappropriate. 333 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,159 Speaker 1: Someone needs to go to jail. Okay. Now today we 334 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 1: have an entire party defending this stuff as tolerance, equity, 335 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:42,439 Speaker 1: and inclusion. That's not something that's tenable in the United 336 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,639 Speaker 1: States in terms of our future staying as a cohesive union. 337 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 1: So I really think the next conversation that's going to 338 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 1: become a prominent one in the country is how do 339 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:53,479 Speaker 1: we move forward in a way where we have some 340 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 1: sort of shared defense agreement, but essentially Red states and 341 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:04,639 Speaker 1: blue states let apart. Robbie appreciate you, My brother appreciate 342 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 1: you too. Brother. All right, Joe Biden met with g 343 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 1: I'll talk to Stephen Yates about that in a second. 344 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: Before we get to that, I want you understand something. Everyone, 345 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 1: at some point in time gets sold. Everybody. I have 346 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 1: been sold more than once in my life. Maybe you've 347 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 1: been sold. Maybe you're currently the owner of a time 348 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 1: share and you don't want to be the owner anymore, 349 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 1: and you're sitting sitting there thinking to yourself, maybe talking 350 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 1: to your husband or your wife about it, and say, honey, 351 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 1: I can't believe we got sold. What I can't I 352 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 1: can't believe we can't get out of this thing. So 353 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:43,639 Speaker 1: that's what they do. They tell you can't get out. Sorry, 354 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:48,360 Speaker 1: just keep paying those fees. Who's this lone Star transfer 355 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 1: will get you out. Don't sit there licking your wounds 356 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: about getting sold. We have to pay forever. You don't 357 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 1: have to pay forever. You were a phone call away 358 00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: from freedom because they succeed ninety nine end of the 359 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: time at lone Star transfer ninety nine. That's pretty good 360 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:08,119 Speaker 1: odds right. They guarantee it in writing and in a 361 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,120 Speaker 1: specific time frame. We'll get you out by this time. 362 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 1: Pretty cool. Phone call away from freedom call eight four 363 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:19,640 Speaker 1: four three one zero two six four six eight four 364 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 1: four three one zero two six four six or go 365 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:37,439 Speaker 1: to lone star transfer dot com. We'll be bad. I 366 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,400 Speaker 1: absolutely believe there's need not be a new Cold War. 367 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 1: We I've met many times with Shijing Pang and we 368 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: were candid and clear with one another across the board. 369 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,680 Speaker 1: And I do not think there's any imminent of attempt 370 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,359 Speaker 1: on the part of China to invade Taiwan. And I 371 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,879 Speaker 1: made it clear that our policy in Taiwan has not 372 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:04,440 Speaker 1: changed at all. Okay, joining me now former Deputy National 373 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,159 Speaker 1: Security advisors Steve and Yates. Steve and I gotta be honest. 374 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 1: I never knew what to make of that China's gonna invade, 375 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,640 Speaker 1: not gonna invade stuff. But the second I saw Joe 376 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: Biden say they weren't gonna invade, I started counting down 377 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 1: to the minutes They're gonna invade. I know, it's really 378 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,919 Speaker 1: kind of crazy. No one in the world really cares 379 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 1: what Joe Biden thinks about whether China is going to invade. 380 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 1: It all comes down to whether She Jin Bing thinks 381 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: he's going to invade. And I doubt very very much 382 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: that Joe Biden, even in three plus hours of sitting 383 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:39,959 Speaker 1: down for an amazing conversation, perhaps knows any more than 384 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,360 Speaker 1: the rest of us do about what She Jinping intends. 385 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 1: And so I think it's kind of unsettling for a 386 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 1: president to come out and just say all as well. 387 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: I wish it were so. It would be much more 388 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 1: reassuring if She Jin Bing had to face the press 389 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 1: coming out of a meeting and said something about not 390 00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 1: invading Taiwan. Stephen, let's begin here, because we hear a 391 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,880 Speaker 1: lot about this China Taiwan, China Taiwan as an ugly 392 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,120 Speaker 1: American who's got my own problems, right procession, gas prices, 393 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:13,119 Speaker 1: We got our own problems. Tell me why I should 394 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 1: give a crap if China does invade. Well, there are 395 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 1: a few different reasons. Number one, it's never inconsequential for 396 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,959 Speaker 1: twenty three million people who live in freedom, and an 397 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,399 Speaker 1: American commitment of support has been extended, however ambiguous it 398 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 1: may have been over time, it's unambiguous that we have 399 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 1: made a commitment, and it's not right to lead people 400 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 1: to believe that you're going to help them and then 401 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: turn away when it goes the wrong way. So there's 402 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 1: that on top of everything else. Of course, that doesn't 403 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 1: motivate the Biden administration because everything from Afghanistan to Ukraine 404 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 1: to whatever else wouldn't have happened if they honored commitments. 405 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:54,440 Speaker 1: So the other reasons are the important advanced semiconductor chips 406 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 1: on which we depend. Taiwan is a major economy despite 407 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: its size of only twenty three million people, it's one 408 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: of our top trade partners, and so supply chain impacts 409 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,160 Speaker 1: on the United States would be significant if something happened, 410 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,440 Speaker 1: and even if just brass tacks were not all of it. 411 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 1: It's fundamental to our concept of alliances in East Asia, 412 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:17,200 Speaker 1: especially with Japan, that we that we honor these commitments, 413 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:21,440 Speaker 1: and once China breaks that island chain and undermines our alliances, 414 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 1: it's really kind of the war of all against all, 415 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 1: and it comes to our shores. And so I believe 416 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,880 Speaker 1: in supporting those on the front lines to help themselves 417 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 1: so that we don't have to be the one to 418 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,120 Speaker 1: be their nine one one, but I certainly don't want 419 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:39,880 Speaker 1: the fight coming here. Stephen. Okay, you mentioned what our 420 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:44,199 Speaker 1: commitment is ambiguous. To put it mildly, what do we 421 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 1: think we would do if China starts at amphibious assault, 422 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:52,359 Speaker 1: lobbing missiles, fighter jets overhead. If we've committed to do 423 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:58,200 Speaker 1: something everything, what do we think we would do? Yeah? Well, first, 424 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: before we got to that position, if we had leadership, 425 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 1: and I will grant that we don't, we would be 426 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:10,400 Speaker 1: providing them as much advanced capability and asymmetrical capability as 427 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 1: they can afford to buy and use. We should make 428 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 1: them as capable of self defense as possible, and same 429 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:21,400 Speaker 1: goes for Japan. Encourage cooperation between the two, but positing 430 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,160 Speaker 1: we have failed in that endeavor right now and are 431 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,640 Speaker 1: playing catchup. If the balloon were to go up, I 432 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 1: don't think that we would be sending troops to Taiwan 433 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 1: by way of like a land invasion to liberate the island. 434 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,959 Speaker 1: I would think, at a minimum, the version of the 435 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 1: financial kitchen sink that we thought we threw at Russia 436 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,719 Speaker 1: would be on the table to throw at China. There 437 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 1: would be some argument about it, but I'd like to 438 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:49,440 Speaker 1: believe that that argument should be winnable under those circumstances 439 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 1: as something short of hot war. But also it's greatly complicated. 440 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 1: If China it goes into Japan's airspace, or happens to 441 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 1: hit some of our material that's in a base nearby. 442 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 1: There's so many different ways this can go bad. That's 443 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,439 Speaker 1: why I want our current leadership. As much as I 444 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 1: doubt their capabilities and intentions right now, I want them 445 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:15,640 Speaker 1: to go above and beyond that on deterrence. Now, Stephen, 446 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:19,400 Speaker 1: you mentioned Japan a couple of times. People aren't familiar 447 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:23,919 Speaker 1: with Japan's military capabilities. What can they do to China? 448 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 1: If China starts to go, they can do a lot. 449 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 1: And one of the reasons that a lot of Americans 450 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 1: haven't heard about this for a long time is because 451 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:36,120 Speaker 1: after World War Two we imposed a constitution on them, rightfully, 452 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,400 Speaker 1: so since we were at war with them and defeated them, 453 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:42,720 Speaker 1: that kept their military capabilities for self defense. But it's 454 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 1: been a few generations since that time. There are a 455 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,679 Speaker 1: full democracy. We have a greater threat coming from China. 456 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:53,119 Speaker 1: The former Prime Minister Shinzoai, who sadly was assassinated, tried 457 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: to move Japan in the more normal nation direction. They 458 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 1: have missile capability, they have air capability, they have seat 459 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: surface see capabilities, all of what should be much more 460 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 1: interoperable and capable with hours should the need arise. And 461 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 1: I think it would be great if they had that 462 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: independent capability that complicates Beijing, so they're not just looking 463 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:18,959 Speaker 1: at Washington alone, all right, Joe Biden, Well, this is 464 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,399 Speaker 1: what he had to say over there. I'm happy to 465 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,159 Speaker 1: take questions, and I'm told there are going to be 466 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,959 Speaker 1: four questioners, but I'm not going to do ten questions 467 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,119 Speaker 1: from each questioner. All right, let's make that clear to 468 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 1: the outset here. I can't how Joe reading this Reuters 469 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:45,959 Speaker 1: and the tangent about both Stephen, I'm worried about what 470 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 1: jj and Ping thinks about America after spending three hours 471 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,119 Speaker 1: in a room with that man. I know it may 472 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 1: be uncomfortable to talk about, but person to person interactions 473 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 1: matter a lot historically when it comes to these world 474 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 1: changing decisions in events, especially strong man leaders look at 475 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:07,399 Speaker 1: their counterparts of are they also strong man leaders? And 476 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:11,720 Speaker 1: certainly she's Jinping coming out of his kami rara fest 477 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:15,880 Speaker 1: for an unlimited new term feels somewhat of his oats, 478 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 1: and it came to that setting, feeling pretty sure of himself. 479 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 1: He sees our president walking in a fragile way, speaking 480 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 1: in a mumbling way, and definitely is not seeing strength 481 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 1: and resolve. But worse than all of that, he got 482 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,439 Speaker 1: the President of United States to tell everyone, don't worry, 483 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,200 Speaker 1: be happy. We're gonna talk. We're gonna focus on climate. 484 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 1: There's gonna be efforts of cooperation. No mention of COVID, 485 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 1: no mention of the muscling up of Taiwan. After Pelosi, 486 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:46,639 Speaker 1: there's a whole bunch of things that matter to the 487 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,880 Speaker 1: American people that didn't make the list. And she had 488 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 1: to be smiling from ear to ear. He got the 489 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 1: President to do his pr forum Steve and Yates, thank 490 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 1: you so much, brother, come back soon, my pleasure. Thank you. 491 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,440 Speaker 1: All right, we still have a lot more. Don't worry, 492 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 1: we have a ton more. What's FTX mean? I hear 493 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,240 Speaker 1: that word a lot past couple of days. I don't know. 494 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 1: I don't know what these numbers, these numbers, what these 495 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,479 Speaker 1: letters mean. So before we get to that, let's get 496 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,360 Speaker 1: to this. I want you to picture something. I want 497 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 1: you to picture before Joe Biden walks in to meet 498 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:26,360 Speaker 1: with Jig and Ping. Joe Biden gets a massive boost 499 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:31,359 Speaker 1: on his testosterone levels instead of walking in, Hey Heyji, 500 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 1: and Steady kicks in the door and says, now, sit down, China, 501 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 1: I got some things to say. Don't you think things 502 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: would be going better for us if all of our 503 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 1: politicians on both sides actually had testosterone. I think that's 504 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 1: probably what DC is lacking the most. We'll praise God 505 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 1: Chok is here to help them and you. Testosterone levels 506 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 1: are free falling, free falling. They are half of what 507 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 1: they were fifty years ago. We won't be a country 508 00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 1: in fifty years if that continues, because we simply won't 509 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 1: be able to reproduce enough to remain a nation.

What's FTX? I've never been more confused by 522 00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: a news story that everybody's talking about in my I 523 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 1: like to consider myself fairly in the know, don't you. 524 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 1: I mean to seek out the news. You watch things 525 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 1: like I'm right, listen to the radio, you read articles. 526 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 1: You're fairly in the know. I'm fairly in the know. 527 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,720 Speaker 1: I have no idea what people were talking about, Sam 528 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 1: Bankman fried FTX some kind of scam or was it 529 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 1: an accident? We got to talk to our friend Carol 530 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:26,240 Speaker 1: Roth about this joining me now our friend recovering investment 531 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 1: banker and author of the outstanding book The War on 532 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 1: Small Business, Carol Roth. Carol, pretend like I'm really dumb. 533 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 1: That should be easy, explain, FTX. Explain. So this is 534 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 1: gonna be a strategy to pretend like you're really dumb, 535 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 1: and I will I will buckle down and do my best. 536 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna start up by saying that I can't 537 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 1: actually even tell you what FTX is. I can only 538 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:56,920 Speaker 1: tell you what they represented themselves to be. Because this 539 00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 1: is the most messed up rabbit hole of a story 540 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 1: that we are going to be peeling back the onion 541 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 1: on probably for years. Could end up being a top 542 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 1: story of the decade. So here's the weird stuff I've learned, 543 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna just couch it all saying this is 544 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 1: all alleged and reported. I'm just basing this on what 545 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 1: other people and other news outlets are saying. So this 546 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: is a cryptocurrency exchange that kind of came out of 547 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 1: nowhere a couple of years ago. You may have been, 548 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,239 Speaker 1: if you're not a crypto person, familiar with it, if 549 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 1: you watched the Super Bowl and you saw the Larry 550 00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:34,640 Speaker 1: David commercial, or if you went to the arena and 551 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 1: Miami and saw FTX arena. So this is this cryptocurrency exchange. 552 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 1: It was founded by this guy who was now thirty. 553 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 1: He was in his late twenties. Came out of nowhere. 554 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 1: He when they said where did you get the money 555 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 1: for this, he kind of was really vague and said, oh, 556 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,320 Speaker 1: I had a bunch of lines of credits that I 557 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 1: kept snowballing, which by the way, is not the way 558 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,400 Speaker 1: that you create a multipi billion dollar company. And within 559 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 1: a few years it goes to a valuation of thirty 560 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 1: two billion dollars and then in a couple of days 561 00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:09,840 Speaker 1: goes to zero. So allegedly what they were doing is 562 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 1: if you gave your money to the crypto exchange to 563 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 1: trade on it, they were allegedly giving it to their 564 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 1: sister company, this hedge fund, and they were investing it 565 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:22,959 Speaker 1: in all kinds of things, which is not something you're 566 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 1: supposed to be doing with client money. And then the 567 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:31,080 Speaker 1: sister company was taking the tokens that FTX who created. 568 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 1: The best way I can explain that is, let's say 569 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,400 Speaker 1: you decided, Jesse, that you were gonna have Jesse coins, 570 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 1: and we know that Jesse coins, you know, you just 571 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,400 Speaker 1: made them up. You don't necessarily have any value, but 572 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,080 Speaker 1: you're starting to sell them to people, and I go, hey, Jesse, 573 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,280 Speaker 1: let's really do this. I'm gonna buy a bunch of 574 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,600 Speaker 1: you a bunch of them, and will pump up the price, 575 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,239 Speaker 1: and then we'll make everybody think that Jesse coins are 576 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 1: something big, even though there was nothing underneath it. So 577 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 1: that's what the sister company is doing. So basically, this 578 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 1: guy in the twenties who always kind of creeped me out, 579 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 1: you know, I just thought in a normal crypto way, 580 00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:06,480 Speaker 1: not in an ultra scammy Shenanigan way. But he said 581 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 1: he was an effective altruist. He just wanted to get really, 582 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,200 Speaker 1: really rich so he could give away his money. And 583 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 1: he did this while being the second largest Democratic donor 584 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 1: to the two of them, around forty million dollars in 585 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 1: the last election cycle. And he's telling you this from 586 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 1: a forty million dollars penthouse in the Bahamas, because you 587 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 1: know he's doing it for the going to the people. 588 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,800 Speaker 1: He's got this huge penthouse. And of course while importing 589 00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 1: the Democrats big policy, he's in the tax haven of 590 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,760 Speaker 1: the Bahamas now also, and I know that, I know 591 00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:42,760 Speaker 1: that you've got lots of questions, but it just gets 592 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:47,440 Speaker 1: really even weirder. His parents are two Stanford professors. His 593 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 1: father has helped Elizabeth Warren draft legislation for taxes back 594 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen. She thanked him on his website. His mom, 595 00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 1: with no experience, came up with this huge pack and 596 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,360 Speaker 1: all of a sudden this major impact donor. He was 597 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 1: tied to the WEF, which scrubbed their partnership from the website, 598 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,320 Speaker 1: but you can find it from the way back machine. 599 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 1: Oh and he helped the Ukraine. They had fifty four 600 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:19,000 Speaker 1: million dollars in crypto donations that were converted into currency 601 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:22,319 Speaker 1: for them to spend on their war. Some piece of 602 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 1: that came with help of FTX that allowed you to 603 00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,719 Speaker 1: take your crypto and they would turn it into other 604 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:32,800 Speaker 1: currency and donate to the exchange. So there's a lot 605 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:36,839 Speaker 1: going on here. There are many, many more questions than answers, 606 00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:42,680 Speaker 1: but it is one word, and that is bananas. Okay, 607 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,279 Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask about a couple of details here, because look, 608 00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,359 Speaker 1: I'm much more knowledgeable now than I was a couple 609 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 1: minutes ago when we started this conversation. But one thing 610 00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,160 Speaker 1: you said, he took all this money as a crypto 611 00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,799 Speaker 1: exchange and then gave it to a hedge fund. Now, 612 00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:59,799 Speaker 1: I understand you're not supposed to do that, and that's bad, 613 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,480 Speaker 1: maybe illegal, all those things, but that actually sounds more 614 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:05,680 Speaker 1: productive to me. If I was giving a bunch of 615 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 1: money instead of having it in crypto a hedge fund 616 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:10,600 Speaker 1: doesn't sound like a bad idea. So what happened to 617 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:12,919 Speaker 1: the hedge fund where he sat all the money? It's 618 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,479 Speaker 1: his hedge fund, it's a sister company, So it's him 619 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:21,400 Speaker 1: and his supposed alleged girlfriend that may or may not 620 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:25,520 Speaker 1: be part of this polyamorous cabal of ten twenty something 621 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,839 Speaker 1: year roles that are living in the Bahamas. She was 622 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:32,399 Speaker 1: the one who was in charge of this, is twenty 623 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,920 Speaker 1: something who if you listened to videos with her, if 624 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:37,920 Speaker 1: you saw her Jesse, you'd have words. But I'm just 625 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:39,680 Speaker 1: not going to go there. But at any rate, so 626 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:43,960 Speaker 1: he's taking in and basically funneling it to a sister company, 627 00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,319 Speaker 1: So it's not like he gave it to like, you know, 628 00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,239 Speaker 1: some major hedge fund as an investment, which still, by 629 00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:52,879 Speaker 1: the way, would be entirely illegal with customer deposits, but 630 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,440 Speaker 1: it's going to his people. And now all of a 631 00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,279 Speaker 1: sudden there was a hack and money had been you know, 632 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:03,440 Speaker 1: dissipainted and disappeared, and it's unclear as you know, in 633 00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:06,480 Speaker 1: a process, they brought in the guy who did them 634 00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,600 Speaker 1: the clean up for Enron to now take over this 635 00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,520 Speaker 1: company and try and get the people who made deposits 636 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,320 Speaker 1: and other creditors back at you know, some of their money, 637 00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,520 Speaker 1: but there's just no idea of how much of it 638 00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:22,640 Speaker 1: at this point has been completely dissipated through you know, 639 00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:29,600 Speaker 1: highly questionable to possibly fraudulent and illegal activity. Okay, you 640 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:31,800 Speaker 1: know what, We're just gonna We're gonna set that story 641 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,200 Speaker 1: aside for a moment because but honestly, well, here's here's 642 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:37,160 Speaker 1: the thing. Hero. What I don't understand is fraud, no 643 00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:40,600 Speaker 1: fraud scam. How you go from a country worth twenty 644 00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:44,200 Speaker 1: to thirty billion dollars to worth zero? I don't understand 645 00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:48,120 Speaker 1: how that's even possible. Yeah, I mean so, I think 646 00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:51,319 Speaker 1: that's part of the question, these fraudulent activities. I think 647 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,160 Speaker 1: the things that people are going to be looking into 648 00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:59,120 Speaker 1: are obviously the ties to democratic donors, that ties to Ukraine. 649 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,680 Speaker 1: You know this fraud. Who were the folks who benefited 650 00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:06,000 Speaker 1: from it? And I think, you know, based again on 651 00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,359 Speaker 1: some of the things that I'm seeing that I think 652 00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:12,000 Speaker 1: we'll probably revisit again soon. You know, there could be 653 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:15,000 Speaker 1: also all kinds of other really bad, weird things going on. 654 00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,839 Speaker 1: And I do think, you know, when you look at this, 655 00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:21,480 Speaker 1: I think this is a conduit, whether intentional or not, 656 00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,279 Speaker 1: for our government to come in and they're not going 657 00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:25,960 Speaker 1: to give a bailout, but they're going to say this 658 00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:29,239 Speaker 1: is why we need crypto reticulation, and they're going to 659 00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:33,360 Speaker 1: use that because you need congreditional approval for ACBDC, a 660 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,880 Speaker 1: central bank digital currency back by the Fed. They're probably 661 00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:40,080 Speaker 1: going to try to sneak that into that bill and 662 00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,759 Speaker 1: get Congress to approve it. So we need to be 663 00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:45,400 Speaker 1: a visualant and keep our eyes on what's happening. I 664 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,600 Speaker 1: don't know if this is a useful crisis or an 665 00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,920 Speaker 1: intentional one, but I'm telling you this has the underpinnings 666 00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:54,280 Speaker 1: of a huge story. And because it's it's complicated, people 667 00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:56,120 Speaker 1: are not going to want to get into the weeds. 668 00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,800 Speaker 1: We need to get into the weeds on this one. Okay, 669 00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,520 Speaker 1: Well that's why we keep bringing you on, Carol. Plus, 670 00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,000 Speaker 1: you can tell us how to save money on Thanksgiving 671 00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:08,840 Speaker 1: because turkey's up seventeen percent, frozen pies up nineteen percent, 672 00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:13,240 Speaker 1: potatoes are up fifteen percent. Carol, you're the finance wiz. 673 00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:17,320 Speaker 1: People are hurting, people are making decisions about whether or 674 00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,279 Speaker 1: not they're even going to buy a turkey this year 675 00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:22,520 Speaker 1: for Thanksgiving. Give us a tidbit of some kind, got 676 00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,440 Speaker 1: something in my eye. Give us a tinbit on how 677 00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:26,840 Speaker 1: to save some cash for Thanksgiving. Yeah, I mean, I 678 00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,280 Speaker 1: don't even know where you're getting those numbers, because I've 679 00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,400 Speaker 1: seen that the wholesale price of turkey, like since twenty 680 00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,719 Speaker 1: nineteen has gone from ninety cents put dollar eighty five 681 00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,960 Speaker 1: a pound a dollar ninety nine a reads tail. So 682 00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:42,120 Speaker 1: there and by the way, on top of just normal 683 00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:44,840 Speaker 1: inflation issues and supply chain issues, there's an av on 684 00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:47,520 Speaker 1: flu going on, so there may be a shortage. So 685 00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:49,839 Speaker 1: you know, I think the very important thing. The first 686 00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:51,960 Speaker 1: thing is that you want to lock your turkey down. 687 00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:53,560 Speaker 1: You want to get it and put it in your 688 00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:56,440 Speaker 1: freezer if you're picky about what kind of turkey you 689 00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:58,000 Speaker 1: have and you don't want to just end up with 690 00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:00,680 Speaker 1: like a package of sliced turkey and put that around 691 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,920 Speaker 1: the Thanksgiving table or in December of the Christmas table. 692 00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:09,160 Speaker 1: But you know, I would look at the different grocery store. 693 00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,560 Speaker 1: Some of them may use that as an enticement to 694 00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,040 Speaker 1: get you into the store and come up with some deals. 695 00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:17,319 Speaker 1: The second that you see one, I would jump on it, 696 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:21,080 Speaker 1: because you're contending not just with price, issues, but also 697 00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:24,760 Speaker 1: with the availability issues. And it just goes to show 698 00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:28,080 Speaker 1: that you know, these policies, whether they be monetary or 699 00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:33,640 Speaker 1: government physical policies, are creating real issues that the average American. 700 00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:38,560 Speaker 1: Are you the one who's footing the bill for kill Roth? 701 00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:46,239 Speaker 1: Come back soon, my pleasure. All right, we have a 702 00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:49,400 Speaker 1: light in the mood to remember coming for you in 703 00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:51,120 Speaker 1: just a moment before we get to that skin to 704 00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:55,719 Speaker 1: this real quickly.

Look, it fixed my allergies that that alone 715 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,160 Speaker 1: would be enough for me to tell the whole world 716 00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:29,400 Speaker 1: about it, because I'm so freaking tired of having my 717 00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:33,239 Speaker 1: eyes be itchy and snotty.

I 727 00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:11,480 Speaker 1: was thinking the other day, I think it was yesterday, 728 00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,040 Speaker 1: do you remember when Joe Biden pooped his pants at 729 00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:18,920 Speaker 1: the Vatican. Look, I know the media covered it up, 730 00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,960 Speaker 1: and as story leaked out, it kind of got forgotten 731 00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,520 Speaker 1: about right away. But Joe Biden went to the Vatican 732 00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:27,920 Speaker 1: and he pooped his pants, and it got me thinking, one, 733 00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:33,280 Speaker 1: that's kind of funny. Do democrats have a pooping problem? 734 00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:36,920 Speaker 1: Is there's something about communism that leads you to be 735 00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:40,000 Speaker 1: not in control of your bowls. So I thought, for 736 00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:41,759 Speaker 1: tonight's light in the mood, we could do a little 737 00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:44,880 Speaker 1: reflection on them and then maybe talk a little bit 738 00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:48,080 Speaker 1: about you. I mean, they have a problem. This is 739 00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:52,080 Speaker 1: a theme. I remember when Swalwell busted a bubble on 740 00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:57,440 Speaker 1: National TV uncontradicted that the president used taxpayer dollars to 741 00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:02,799 Speaker 1: ask the Ukrainians to help them cheat and election. We 742 00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:06,840 Speaker 1: didn't get it that he did it. I didn't. Al Roker, 743 00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:11,680 Speaker 1: famous Democrat, do you remember what he said? And as 744 00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:15,160 Speaker 1: I'm walking to the press room, well, I think I gotta, 745 00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:17,680 Speaker 1: you know, pass little gas here. So I'm walking by myself. 746 00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:21,000 Speaker 1: Who's gonna know? Only a little something extra came out? 747 00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:26,319 Speaker 1: Pops in your pants? I poop my pants. Al Roker 748 00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:32,280 Speaker 1: pooped his pants? Or who can forget Jerry Nadler having 749 00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:36,279 Speaker 1: to do the butt clenched waddle of fame as he 750 00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:39,840 Speaker 1: pooped his pants right up there by the podium. Work 751 00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:43,400 Speaker 1: on this subject not part of this package, but part 752 00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:47,880 Speaker 1: of preserving our democracy. With that, I'm pleased to go 753 00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:54,279 Speaker 1: to the distinguished chairwoman, do Democrats have a pooping problem? 754 00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:56,800 Speaker 1: And look, you didn't even have to see Nadler's waddle 755 00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:59,880 Speaker 1: to know he pooped his pants. That face, that expression 756 00:42:59,880 --> 00:43:03,200 Speaker 1: on his face, that expression said one thing. I've got 757 00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:06,480 Speaker 1: poop in my pants and it's mine. I'll see them 758 00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:18,880 Speaker 1: all each morning the president of the United States receives 759 00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:22,080 Speaker 1: a highly classified briefing on the most important issues facing 760 00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:25,680 Speaker 1: the country. It's called the President's Daily Brief, or PDB. 761 00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:29,120 Speaker 1: It's delivered by America's spies and analysts. Well, now you 762 00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:31,960 Speaker 1: can hear your very own PDB in the form of 763 00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:35,280 Speaker 1: a podcast hosted by me Brian Dean Wright, a former 764 00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:39,040 Speaker 1: CIA operations officer. Each morning at six am Eastern, I'll 765 00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:41,440 Speaker 1: bring you fifteen to twenty minutes of the most important 766 00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:44,600 Speaker 1: issues facing the country, giving you the critical intelligence and 767 00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:47,480 Speaker 1: analysis you need to start your morning.
