And he said, 176 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 8: what the Investor America Act does is it bottles up 177 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 8: hope for. 178 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 7: Every child in America. 179 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 8: Whether you're in rural Mississippi or rural Indiana where I 180 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 8: came from, inner city Trenton or Compton, You're now in 181 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 8: the game, right that act alone, I think reinvigorates the 182 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 8: American dream. It reinvigorates the idea of free market capitalism. 183 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 8: Too many people are losing faith, and you, sir, by 184 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 8: passing the Invest America Act and getting all these kids 185 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 8: into the game, this is a transformational act in this country. 186 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:09,079 Speaker 7: Forever more. 187 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 8: Every child starts off life in the game with the 188 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 8: piece of the American dream compounding in the upside of America. 189 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,959 Speaker 8: So thank you for having us here. 190 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 9: Take the victory first. I've heard of the breeze. 191 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 10: Good afternoon, everyone, And I think this is a major 192 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 10: change in philanthropy and for American working families. It is 193 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 10: the merging of President Trump's agenda of parallel prosperity. 194 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 4: Main Street meets Wall Street. 195 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 10: For the next five years, that every child born in 196 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 10: the US will get a thousand dollars Trump account that 197 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 10: will be with them and compound for the next eighteen years. 198 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 10: Treasury Department, with other branches of government is going to 199 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 10: do financial literacy and we are going to make sure 200 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 10: that all American families have a stake in the success. 201 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 4: Of the United States of America. 202 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,319 Speaker 10: So every day when the stock market goes up or down, 203 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,959 Speaker 10: and we believe over the eighteen years, it will go 204 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 10: up and families will learn the power of compounding. That 205 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 10: it will be a game changer. People who have a 206 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 10: stake in the system and become more and more vested 207 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 10: in the system. They do not want to bring down 208 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 10: the system. They want to make it better. So I 209 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 10: think we will look back on today and know that 210 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 10: these Trump accounts, they have started a new age of 211 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 10: the capitalism and market interests for the whole country. I 212 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 10: also think that it is a game changer, as we're 213 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 10: seeing with Michael and Susan Bell today that Americans are 214 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 10: the most generous people in the history of the world. 215 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 10: And the Trump accounts will provide a vehicle for philanthropists 216 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 10: such as Michael and Susan and many more to contribute. 217 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 10: And at Treasury we are working so Michael and Susan 218 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 10: want to do it for children or in the past 219 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 10: ten years, a certain income level, as Brad said, it 220 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 10: can be tailored, it can be to employees, it could 221 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 10: be a philanthropist adopt a state, they can adopt a school, 222 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 10: they can adopt a zip code, they can adopt a street. 223 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 10: And so we will constantly see these accounts the top 224 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 10: up for those of you on the Treasury will be 225 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 10: running this on the operational side. 226 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 4: For those of you who would like to, you can. 227 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:55,839 Speaker 10: Go to Trump Accounts dot gov today and see the 228 00:12:55,880 --> 00:13:01,960 Speaker 10: homepage that has a basic outline. Will become operational on 229 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 10: July fifth of this year, and we will have families 230 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 10: start signing up for them so. 231 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:12,719 Speaker 4: And that. 232 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 10: Homepage will answer all the questions on eligibility and investment. 233 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 10: And then finally today we're here on Giving Tuesday. Michael 234 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 10: and Susan have led the way, but I think that 235 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 10: there's a chance that every Tuesday can become Giving Tuesday. 236 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 10: As more and more philanthropist they see the power of this, 237 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 10: of giving to American families, giving to American children, and 238 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,439 Speaker 10: giving everyone a stake in our great economy. 239 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 4: So thank you very much. 240 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 9: I'll be brief. 241 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 11: There's a lot of symbolism here today, right here on 242 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,079 Speaker 11: the eve of the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of 243 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 11: the greatest nation in the history of the world. We 244 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 11: are the greatest nation by any objective measure. We're the 245 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,959 Speaker 11: most free, most powerful, most successful, the most benevolent nation 246 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 11: that's ever been. And I think what you're seeing here 247 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 11: is another exhibit of that this idea. 248 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:08,559 Speaker 9: This vision came about because. 249 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 11: Brad and a couple of smart guys came up with 250 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 11: this idea and then took a few years to sell 251 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 11: the idea to everybody. And then these visionary legislators over here, 252 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 11: Senator Ted Cruz and Blake Moore in the House and 253 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 11: Jason Smith the Ways and Meatshare, really caught the vision 254 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 11: and we put it into the Big Beautiful Bill, the 255 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 11: Working Families Tax Cut We've been saying all along, that 256 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 11: was drafted to really help lower and middle class earners 257 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 11: in America. 258 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 9: And this is one of the great features. 259 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 11: One of the perils of having the Big Beautiful Bill 260 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 11: and having it all in there together. The President and 261 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 11: I have talked about many times, is that there's so 262 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 11: many great things in that legislation, we don't have enough 263 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 11: time to talk about all of it. So we need 264 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 11: a moment to really focus on this. Giving Tuesday is appropriate, 265 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 11: a perfect time to do it, and it's absolutely perfect. 266 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 9: I think that. 267 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 11: July fifth becomes the operational date, right after the nation's birthday. 268 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 11: So what we're going to see here is a model 269 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 11: that I don't think anyone has done anywhere in the world. 270 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 11: They wouldn't have the capability to do it. They wouldn't 271 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 11: have philanthropists and great Americans with big hearts like this 272 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 11: who've earned their way and really fulfilled the American dream, 273 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 11: and they have a vision and a desire for more 274 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 11: and more people to do that, and so now more 275 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 11: and more Americans will. It kind of evens the playing 276 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,359 Speaker 11: field in a way, right, and everybody has an opportunity. 277 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 9: So we're just excited to be a part of it. 278 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 11: Grateful to the vision, Grateful to a president who leads 279 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 11: from the front, who understands the potential of something like this, 280 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 11: And this will be one of the many marquee achievements 281 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 11: of the Trump administration. This will be one that people 282 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 11: remember for a long long time, and I think it 283 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 11: can change the country. So thanks, Miss President, Thanks Brad, 284 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 11: all of you for being a part. 285 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 9: Thank you to the deal.

I think the two most long 294 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 12: lasting and far reaching provisions are Number one, the school 295 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 12: choice provision that you sign in the law that is 296 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 12: going to unleash tens of billions of dollars to scholarships 297 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 12: to low income kids all over the country and is 298 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 12: going to change the lives of millions of kids. And 299 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 12: the second provision is this provision right here, the Trump accounts, 300 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 12: these Trump accounts. Starting on July fourth, every child in 301 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 12: America will have a personal investment account opened for them. 302 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 12: Newborn children will have it seeded with one thousand dollars. 303 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 12: Parents and family and employers can contribute up to five 304 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 12: thousand a year in a tax advantaged account. That money 305 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 12: will be invested in the S and P five hundred 306 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 12: and the stock market broad based Equity Index account. Two 307 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 12: massive benefits that change this country. Number One, every child 308 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 12: in America will experience the benefits of compound growth. Take 309 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 12: a little girl born next year. She's born next year, 310 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 12: she has the account opened for her. One thousand dollars 311 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 12: is automatically seated. Her parents or family or an employer 312 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 12: puts five thousand a year each year into that account. 313 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,719 Speaker 12: If you assume the historic rate of growth of the 314 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 12: S and P five hundred, which is seven percent a year. 315 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 12: By the time that little girl is eighteen, she will 316 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 12: have one hundred and seventy thousand dollars in that account. 317 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:26,879 Speaker 5: And if she keeps saving. 318 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 12: By the time that little girl is thirty five, she 319 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:34,360 Speaker 12: will have seven hundred thousand dollars in that account. 320 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 5: That is game changeing. 321 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 12: In We're not talking the children of Michael and Susan Dell, 322 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,439 Speaker 12: the children of Donald Trump, the children of people of 323 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 12: great success. We're talking the kids of a single mom 324 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 12: waiting tables, who could have seven hundred thousand dollars saved 325 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,680 Speaker 12: by the time she's thirty five, to get an education, 326 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 12: to start a business, to buy a house. 327 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 5: That changes their whole lives. 328 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 12: But the second benefit, and what I'm really excited about, 329 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 12: is we are creating a new generation of capitalists. Every 330 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,199 Speaker 12: child in America is going to be an owner of 331 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,879 Speaker 12: the biggest employers in this country. We've all seen the 332 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:14,640 Speaker 12: sad statistics of how many kids are losing faith in capitalism. Well, 333 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:16,399 Speaker 12: ten years from now, a little boy is going to 334 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 12: pull out his phone and he's going to look at 335 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 12: his app, and he's going to see his Trump account, 336 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 12: and instead of thinking of big, bad, scary corporations, that 337 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,920 Speaker 12: little boy is going to say, I own fifty bucks 338 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,679 Speaker 12: of Apple, I own one hundred bucks of Dell, I 339 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 12: own seventy five bucks of McDonald's. And every child is 340 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,400 Speaker 12: an owner of the biggest employers in this country. That 341 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:41,719 Speaker 12: will transform this country. Mister President, thank you for signing it. 342 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 12: Let me say, Brad, this would not be a law 343 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 12: if Brad Gersner did not pursue it with absolute, dogged determination, relentless. 344 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,880 Speaker 12: I've gotten calls and texts from Brad at six. 345 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,400 Speaker 5: Am and at two am. 346 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 12: You may sleep less than the President, Brad, and then 347 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:00,679 Speaker 12: that is a remarkable thing, because I don't think he 348 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:04,199 Speaker 12: sleeps at all. And finally, I'll just say that to 349 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 12: Michael and Susan, incredible Texans. Six and a quarter billion 350 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 12: dollars is extraordinarily generous. Let me say, on behalf of 351 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 12: twenty five million kids who just got a gift from 352 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,679 Speaker 12: Michael and Susan. And it's not a gift of a 353 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,959 Speaker 12: video game, it's not a gift of a bicycle. It's 354 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,919 Speaker 12: an investment in their future that changes their lives. And 355 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 12: I hope and believe Michael and Susan are going to 356 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 12: inspire millions across the country to do the same thing. 357 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 12: When Congress passed section four oh one K of the ARISA, 358 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 12: I don't know that anyone realized how much it would 359 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,920 Speaker 12: change retirement plans. There's now trillions of dollars in four 360 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 12: oh one K plans. They're going to be trillions of 361 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 12: dollars and these these are four oh one k's for kids. 362 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 12: And mister President, these Trump accounts exist because you signed them. 363 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,120 Speaker 5: Thank you for your leadership. It's an honor to work 364 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 5: with you. 365 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:03,959 Speaker 9: To say it's come on for a second, perfect thank you. 366 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 13: First, I would just want to thank Michael and Susan 367 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 13: for the kind gift. What you all have done will 368 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:15,439 Speaker 13: be transformational for twenty five million million kids and a 369 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 13: lot of people. We can think for the provisions and 370 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 13: this big beautiful bill, but there is no one to 371 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 13: think greater than President Donald Trump. And I'll tell you this, 372 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 13: out of every executive I've ever worked with, there's no 373 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 13: one that's been more engaging, no one that has been 374 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 13: more involved. And the only reason why these investment accounts 375 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:42,200 Speaker 13: are in the Big Beautiful Bill is because he helped 376 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 13: convince other members of Congress that this is a good idea. 377 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 13: This has been something that has been discussed for a 378 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 13: long time, but no one could ever. 379 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 4: Get it passed. 380 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 13: But who helped get it passed was Donald Trump. I 381 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 13: can tell you that from day one throughout the process, 382 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:02,359 Speaker 13: and so that's going to affect billions, millions of kids 383 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 13: in their futures. 384 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,639 Speaker 4: Thank you, Thank you. 385 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 14: I was not planning or prepared to speak today, but 386 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 14: the gravity of the situation. 387 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 4: Is not lost on me. 388 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,640 Speaker 14: I have four boys of my own, thirteen and under, 389 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 14: and on the heels of a six billion dollar announcement, 390 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 14: I hope that that doesn't go without some major headlines. 391 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 14: That I will be making announcement of my own that 392 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,439 Speaker 14: I will be contributing sixty dollars to each one of 393 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:35,199 Speaker 14: my children's accounts today actually to make to try to 394 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 14: bring some levity to that every parent, every grand grandpa, 395 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 14: and grandma can now look and say, I can get 396 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 14: my grandkid this little toy or something. And may of 397 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 14: us going to continue to happen, but there is a 398 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 14: new option in another way for them to be able 399 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 14: to invest and have a lasting legacy.

This is 513 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,399 Speaker 8: the first time we've done that because we're auto creating 514 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 8: these accounts for every child at birth, and so we're 515 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 8: going to be very focused on making sure that every 516 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 8: family entitled to get one of these accounts is able 517 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 8: to claim it and get it. 518 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,440 Speaker 21: Yes, sir, this these program seemed to create an opportunity 519 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 21: for parents to create unprecedented financial. 520 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,439 Speaker 15: Securities where their children, Sir, do. 521 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,360 Speaker 22: You believe that these accounts will be a big part 522 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 22: of your legacy when everything goes down? We've heard that 523 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,199 Speaker 22: talks about you make legacy as a peace maker, but this. 524 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 1: Is a really idun Yeah, I appreciate that.

And I 668 00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:14,640 Speaker 1: say it all the time. The King of Saudi Arabia 669 00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,480 Speaker 1: said to me a year ago. He said, one year ago, 670 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,800 Speaker 1: your country was dead, and now you've got the hottest 671 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:22,960 Speaker 1: country anywhere in the world. 672 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:23,640 Speaker 2: And that's what we have. 673 00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,239 Speaker 1: And it's one of the reasons Michael is able to 674 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,239 Speaker 1: do this. It's one of the reasons I'm able to 675 00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,080 Speaker 1: be here. And you know, having really run a very 676 00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:34,799 Speaker 1: successful campaign. We won all seven swing states. We won 677 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:38,759 Speaker 1: the popular vote by millions, we won the districts. 678 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,800 Speaker 2: You the district vote is the most impressive. 679 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:46,440 Speaker 1: Two thousand, seven hundred and fifty compared to five hundred 680 00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:46,880 Speaker 1: and fifty. 681 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:48,240 Speaker 2: That's some difference. 682 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,239 Speaker 1: And we just had a you know, we just had 683 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:54,360 Speaker 1: a tremendous election and a tremendous vote of confidence. 684 00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:56,680 Speaker 2: And thank you very much for that question. Thank you. 685 00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:06,120 Speaker 22: So you make a deal with Democrats dress the president, Well, 686 00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 22: you just saw President Trump make an announcement from the 687 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,680 Speaker 22: Roosevelt Room at the White House regarding a six billion 688 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:15,320 Speaker 22: dollar investment in Trump accounts. Will certainly keep you updated 689 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,600 Speaker 22: on that story as we learn more big. 690 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:18,839 Speaker 27: Announcement from the Roosevelt Room. 691 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:23,879 Speaker 22: Meanwhile, Venezuela's president, Nicholas Maduro is facing limited options after 692 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,520 Speaker 22: a phone call with President Trump on November twenty first, 693 00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:30,399 Speaker 22: where Trump declined a series of requests from the Venezuelan leader. 694 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 22: According to four sources briefed on the call, Maduro told 695 00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:36,600 Speaker 22: Trump he was willing to step down and leave the 696 00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:40,800 Speaker 22: country if the United States guaranteed full legal amnesty for himself, 697 00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:44,120 Speaker 22: his family, and more than one hundred Venezuelan officials currently 698 00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:48,759 Speaker 22: under US sanctions. Those officials have been sanctioned for allegations 699 00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:52,280 Speaker 22: ranging from human rights abuses to corruption and drug trafficking. 700 00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:55,560 Speaker 22: Madua also sought the end of an international criminal court 701 00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,719 Speaker 22: case in which he is a central figure. The Trump 702 00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:02,799 Speaker 22: administration rejected those conditions now. The call took place after 703 00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:06,919 Speaker 22: months of increased US pressure, including strikes on alleged drug 704 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,680 Speaker 22: smuggling boats in the Caribbean and the designation of the 705 00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:13,120 Speaker 22: Cartel de los Soles, which US officials say includes Maduro 706 00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:17,239 Speaker 22: as a foreign terrorist organization. Maduro has denied all these 707 00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:21,080 Speaker 22: charges and is accusing the United States of seeking regime change. 708 00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:24,200 Speaker 22: Joining me to discuss this is retired Army colonel and 709 00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:28,760 Speaker 22: former Special assistant to President Trump, Colonel Derek Harvey. Colonel, 710 00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:30,800 Speaker 22: it's great to have you with us today. Now, the 711 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:35,239 Speaker 22: main problem here is the manufacturing of drugs that are 712 00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:38,359 Speaker 22: coming from Venezuela that enter our country and endanger all 713 00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:41,200 Speaker 22: American lives. Do you agree with the course of action 714 00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:53,480 Speaker 22: that the President has proposed thus far? Okay, I think 715 00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:55,160 Speaker 22: we've got some audio issues with the. 716 00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 27: Colonel, David. 717 00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,320 Speaker 22: Let's go to you then, David, you are in the Pentagon. 718 00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:01,680 Speaker 22: I know that you've been present for some press briefings 719 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,200 Speaker 22: there today. Let's go to the subject of Venezuela that 720 00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,040 Speaker 22: I was addressing with the colonel, and hopefully. 721 00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:06,759 Speaker 27: We'll have him back in a moment. 722 00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:10,480 Speaker 22: What have you heard about Venezuela and this particular delicate 723 00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,280 Speaker 22: situation from the Pentagon in those press briefings today? 724 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,600 Speaker 28: You got there and this won't be the last of 725 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:27,760 Speaker 28: the boat strikes over there. And Secretary Press Secretary Kingsley 726 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:31,760 Speaker 28: Wilson addressed it as well that these are legal strikes 727 00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:33,960 Speaker 28: and they're going to continue to do so. She covered 728 00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:38,120 Speaker 28: a number of topics here today, especially about the National 729 00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:41,160 Speaker 28: guardsmen here bo if I could just address that, you know, 730 00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,880 Speaker 28: twenty two hundred serving in DC right now, five hundred 731 00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,040 Speaker 28: more coming. And I got to ask her, ask her 732 00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:52,359 Speaker 28: the question about how many of the National guardsmen will 733 00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,320 Speaker 28: be armed going forward and are there any more cities 734 00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,680 Speaker 28: on the agenda and under Title ten under the President's 735 00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:02,120 Speaker 28: authority and also so under Title thirty two, which the 736 00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:05,040 Speaker 28: governors of each state have the right to request National 737 00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:09,799 Speaker 28: Guard And she was very clear and resolute about protecting 738 00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:13,520 Speaker 28: our National Guard troops in the streets of America here. 739 00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:18,640 Speaker 28: But it did focus on Venezuela as well, and about 740 00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,920 Speaker 28: the boat strikes and the legality of them. A lot 741 00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:25,399 Speaker 28: of questions here, you know, a new team here, new 742 00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:29,560 Speaker 28: media week here at the Pentagon, and questions were asked 743 00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,960 Speaker 28: about our involvement also in Somalia and other places here. 744 00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:36,879 Speaker 28: So a very productive day here. And you know, we're 745 00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,640 Speaker 28: going to meet and gaggle with Pete Hegseth tomorrow morning 746 00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:41,960 Speaker 28: at nine forty five, so I'll get to ask him 747 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:45,160 Speaker 28: some questions there, hopefully about Venezuela and then we have 748 00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,160 Speaker 28: media row here tomorrow from two pm to three point 749 00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:51,520 Speaker 28: thirty where eighteen Pentagon officials will come by and we'll 750 00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:53,840 Speaker 28: get to interview many of them on camera tomorrow. So 751 00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,080 Speaker 28: we'll have a lot of information for you in the 752 00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:57,600 Speaker 28: audience at Real America's Voice. 753 00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:00,560 Speaker 22: Yeah, and David, I think it's so to note that 754 00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,120 Speaker 22: Real America's Voice does as a presence there at the Pentagon. 755 00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,520 Speaker 22: I think this is incredible access that we have. It's 756 00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:07,720 Speaker 22: amazing that we have you there. We have Steve Ruber, 757 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:09,560 Speaker 22: of course I'm feeling in for today because he's with 758 00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:11,680 Speaker 22: the President, and so I'd like to turn the conversation 759 00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:13,480 Speaker 22: back to you, Colonel Harvey, and hopefully we have your 760 00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:17,120 Speaker 22: audio cleared up now, specifically regarding Venezuela that David Zeer 761 00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:19,839 Speaker 22: just referenced. Do you agree with this course of action 762 00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:22,280 Speaker 22: the President has taken us far and is it effective? 763 00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:26,480 Speaker 20: I think it's effective. It's a majored approach. It's a 764 00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:31,240 Speaker 20: diplomatic strategy as well as economic law enforcement, but also 765 00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:35,279 Speaker 20: military pressure. The force demonstration is what we would call 766 00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,800 Speaker 20: it in the Pentagon, and continuing to ratchet up with 767 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:42,400 Speaker 20: US Navy forces off the coast. Pressure suggesting that there 768 00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:46,440 Speaker 20: may be air operations or land operations. You know, if 769 00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:48,760 Speaker 20: there are going to be those, they would be precise 770 00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:50,200 Speaker 20: because this president does. 771 00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:52,040 Speaker 2: Not want to get engaged in a land war. 772 00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:56,239 Speaker 20: But the key point here is it's a majored, continuous 773 00:40:56,400 --> 00:41:01,600 Speaker 20: pressure campaign to cause this regime to rethink its place. 774 00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:05,920 Speaker 20: And Maduro asking for eighteen months leeway in order to 775 00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:09,160 Speaker 20: facilitate his departure is a nogo. The president wants the 776 00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:12,000 Speaker 20: movement in the very near term, and the fact that 777 00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:14,439 Speaker 20: they're talking about that and it's shaking up the inner 778 00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:18,080 Speaker 20: circle in Venezuela is a key component. I think the 779 00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:19,360 Speaker 20: president is succeeding. 780 00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:23,360 Speaker 27: And Colonel I got to ask you this. 781 00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:25,520 Speaker 22: You know, President Trump has given Madua and ultimate him 782 00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,200 Speaker 22: in one which he ultimately has rejected. And now it's 783 00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:31,080 Speaker 22: been reported that Maduro's phone calls are not getting answered 784 00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:32,600 Speaker 22: at the White House. What do you make of this 785 00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:35,360 Speaker 22: and what positioning does this place Donald Trump in in 786 00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:38,359 Speaker 22: terms of what cards he may hold in moving forward 787 00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:39,400 Speaker 22: and what ultimately happens. 788 00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:43,160 Speaker 20: Do you think, Well, clearly, the President and the administration, 789 00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,200 Speaker 20: you know, have the dominant position here. You know, they 790 00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:48,600 Speaker 20: can shape the environment. They've got a lot more tools. 791 00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:52,480 Speaker 20: They're trying to isolate Maduro. There are strategic objectives here 792 00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:57,680 Speaker 20: besides Maduro. There's interest in economic and trade relationships. It's 793 00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:01,680 Speaker 20: interest in limiting what Madua has been doing in destabilizing 794 00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:05,800 Speaker 20: neighbors and threatening neighbors. It's going after not just the 795 00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:10,680 Speaker 20: drug trade, but the facilitation of what I would call 796 00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:15,719 Speaker 20: terrorist or you know, destabilizing forces in the neighborhood. So, 797 00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:18,359 Speaker 20: you know, there are a number of strategic objectives as 798 00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:21,879 Speaker 20: well well as localized objectives. And the president has time 799 00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,919 Speaker 20: on his side. He knows sometimes this takes quite a while. 800 00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:29,680 Speaker 20: He's been engaged with Ukraine and Russia for ten months now, 801 00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:33,000 Speaker 20: and the president can keep this up. He's got the 802 00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:37,200 Speaker 20: long view in mind, I think, with certain advantages that 803 00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,640 Speaker 20: play to our strengths, and we're not going to allow, 804 00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:44,160 Speaker 20: you know, Venezuela to try and sidestep this delay it. 805 00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:46,319 Speaker 20: That's why they're not answering the phone calls. 806 00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:49,680 Speaker 22: Yeah, it'll be interesting to see what happens. Well, Colonel 807 00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:51,759 Speaker 22: Derek Harvey, David Zeer, thank you guys so much for 808 00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:52,239 Speaker 22: joining me. 809 00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:54,480 Speaker 27: Have a blessed rest of your day.

At the moment, 836 00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:25,800 Speaker 22: we're starting December with a sharp risk off move. Crypto 837 00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:29,400 Speaker 22: in particular has taken a beating. However, gold has remained 838 00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:32,360 Speaker 22: above the four thousand dollars mark. Joining me to discuss 839 00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:35,000 Speaker 22: this is precious metal specialist from the Birch Gold Group, 840 00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:37,759 Speaker 22: our good friend Philip Patrick. Philip, it's great to see 841 00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:40,440 Speaker 22: you as always on this beautiful second day of December. 842 00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:43,120 Speaker 27: First off, Philip, what's going on with crypto right now? 843 00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:46,600 Speaker 29: Yeah, it has been an interesting couple of months, to 844 00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:49,360 Speaker 29: say the least. We've seen nearly a billion dollars in 845 00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:53,320 Speaker 29: leverage crypto bets wipe down in twenty four hours. We 846 00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:56,279 Speaker 29: saw a small recovery today, but that was on top 847 00:44:56,320 --> 00:45:02,120 Speaker 29: of nineteen billion dollar liquidation castade that early October. Bitcoin 848 00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:05,080 Speaker 29: at the moment is down almost ten percent year to date. 849 00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:08,279 Speaker 29: The lower tier old coins, the bottom half of the 850 00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:11,880 Speaker 29: top one hundred, They're down roughly seventy percent for the 851 00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:15,200 Speaker 29: year so far. In my mind, this isn't a random 852 00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:19,480 Speaker 29: sell off. This is the unwinding of hidden leverage that's 853 00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:22,879 Speaker 29: built up when everything was rallying and doing very well. 854 00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:25,640 Speaker 29: And I think traders are finally admitting that they don't 855 00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:29,000 Speaker 29: know how much leverage is really in the financial system 856 00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:33,480 Speaker 29: because exchangers don't disclose this data. What we do know, though, 857 00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:37,200 Speaker 29: is about four point six billion dollars has been abandoned 858 00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:39,680 Speaker 29: from the bitcoin market over the last. 859 00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:40,000 Speaker 15: Week or so. 860 00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:45,440 Speaker 29: Put it simply, when liquidity titens, the most speculative assets 861 00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:47,759 Speaker 29: full first. So I think what we're seeing in the 862 00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:50,719 Speaker 29: crypto markets could be the canary in the coal mine 863 00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:51,880 Speaker 29: for the broader economy. 864 00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,400 Speaker 22: Philip, you know President Trump has said he's chosen his 865 00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:56,399 Speaker 22: next bed chair. 866 00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:58,640 Speaker 27: How does that change the situation currently? 867 00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:04,759 Speaker 29: Normally a new fed chair is sort of glossed over 868 00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:08,000 Speaker 29: by financial markets, but today I think it's much more 869 00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:11,840 Speaker 29: important than it would be. Interest costs on the national 870 00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:14,040 Speaker 29: debt are over two trillion dollars a year, so the 871 00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:18,600 Speaker 29: states are very very high. The President clearly understands this, 872 00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:21,960 Speaker 29: and that's why I think this appointment matters so much, 873 00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:25,440 Speaker 29: we'll off next FED chair support lower interest rates to 874 00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:27,000 Speaker 29: relieve the debt burden. 875 00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:27,880 Speaker 26: Are they going to. 876 00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:31,719 Speaker 29: Prioritize inflation control and raise rates at the cost of 877 00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:34,799 Speaker 29: slowing the economy. Investors at the moment are trading off 878 00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:39,200 Speaker 29: two realities. They know that Washington cannot afford higher rates, 879 00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:42,680 Speaker 29: but at the same time, the Fed can't really justify 880 00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:47,359 Speaker 29: very big rate cuts without risking another inflation flare up. 881 00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:50,360 Speaker 29: So I think until we have clarity and the policy 882 00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:53,239 Speaker 29: direction becomes clear, I expect to see a little bit 883 00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:56,360 Speaker 29: more volatility in every corner of the financial. 884 00:46:56,000 --> 00:47:00,200 Speaker 22: Sector until finally, just to touch on the announcement was 885 00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:02,880 Speaker 22: made right before we came on air, which is regarded 886 00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:06,000 Speaker 22: the Trump accounts and Michael Dell's huge investment. I believe 887 00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:07,960 Speaker 22: it's six point twenty five billion dollars, which will be 888 00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:10,640 Speaker 22: two hundred and fifty dollars to twenty five million kids 889 00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:12,960 Speaker 22: who are in kind of lower income areas. This is 890 00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:16,000 Speaker 22: a huge private investment from a very well known wealthy man. 891 00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:18,640 Speaker 22: Do you think we're going to see more private investment 892 00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:21,440 Speaker 22: like this? And is this a really good sign of 893 00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:24,600 Speaker 22: things to come during this administration? For the future of 894 00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:28,000 Speaker 22: children learning the concept of compound interest and what that 895 00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:30,040 Speaker 22: can do for them in terms of what they say 896 00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:32,000 Speaker 22: is educating a new generation of capitalists. 897 00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:35,760 Speaker 29: The answer is absolutely yes, and this is just another 898 00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:39,960 Speaker 29: sign of how President Trump has attracted a ton of investment. 899 00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:44,520 Speaker 29: This specifically, though, six point four billion dollars for America's 900 00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:49,520 Speaker 29: children is absolutely massive. They will learn the power of 901 00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:53,280 Speaker 29: compounded interest. As you say, two hundred and fifty dollars 902 00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:57,320 Speaker 29: over an eighteen year period will be tens of thousands 903 00:47:57,400 --> 00:48:00,239 Speaker 29: of dollars, and it could give these kids this art 904 00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:03,120 Speaker 29: that they need. As we know it's become much more 905 00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:06,759 Speaker 29: difficult for middle class and working class Americans to just 906 00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:10,239 Speaker 29: make ends meet. To give children a leg up in 907 00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:13,160 Speaker 29: this climate, I think is huge, and like I said, 908 00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:16,400 Speaker 29: it's just the sign of how President Trump does business. 909 00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:20,680 Speaker 29: Really encouraging and obviously kudos to Michael Dell and his wife. 910 00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:25,520 Speaker 29: It's a huge charitable donation and it's the most important 911 00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:26,360 Speaker 29: thing our children. 912 00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:27,240 Speaker 27: I mean, it's incredible. 913 00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:29,600 Speaker 22: Yeah, And I think one thing that's so cool about it, 914 00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:31,520 Speaker 22: Philip is I have a very young child, he's under two, 915 00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:34,440 Speaker 22: and just the concept of investing in the notion of family, 916 00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:36,959 Speaker 22: the nuclear family unit is something we haven't heard about 917 00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:37,640 Speaker 22: in a long time. 918 00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:39,799 Speaker 27: The incentive is now is for the family. I think 919 00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:41,200 Speaker 27: that that's a really great thing that he's doing well. 920 00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:42,960 Speaker 22: Philip Patrick, it's always great to see you.

You might have 936 00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:26,440 Speaker 26: seen or heard as. 937 00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:28,200 Speaker 23: In with the President as they announced a six point 938 00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:32,200 Speaker 23: twenty five billion dollar investment in our children's future coming 939 00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:35,040 Speaker 23: from Michael Dell and his wife, a remarkable investment two 940 00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:37,239 Speaker 23: hundred and fifty million children will get two hundred and 941 00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:39,040 Speaker 23: fifty dollars if they're under the age of ten and 942 00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:43,320 Speaker 23: living in certain zip codes that have a median income 943 00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:45,080 Speaker 23: of less than one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. It's 944 00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:47,279 Speaker 23: the latest way that Trump administration is trying to invest 945 00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:48,120 Speaker 23: in America's children. 946 00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:49,759 Speaker 26: You know already from the Big Beautiful Bill. 947 00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:52,880 Speaker 23: Children to and under get one thousand dollars in their 948 00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:55,560 Speaker 23: account to start life, and then two hundred and fifty 949 00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:57,600 Speaker 23: dollars for kids that are under ten. This is a 950 00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:02,239 Speaker 23: really game changing announcement because they leave other wealthy entrepreneurs 951 00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:04,440 Speaker 23: and people that have found their American dream are going 952 00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:05,320 Speaker 23: to share the wealth. 953 00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:06,719 Speaker 26: And that's big news. 954 00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:09,520 Speaker 23: Look, compounding interest at two hundred and fifty dollars, you 955 00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:12,040 Speaker 23: heard Ted Cruz do the numbers. If they hold that 956 00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:15,240 Speaker 23: money until they're thirty five, it's seven hundred thousand dollars. 957 00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:18,080 Speaker 23: Because you can invest up to five thousand dollars a year. 958 00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:19,960 Speaker 23: It could be an uncle, could be an aunt, it 959 00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:22,560 Speaker 23: could be a philanthropic group, it could be all sorts 960 00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:24,800 Speaker 23: of people. What a remarkable way to invest in America. 961 00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:26,719 Speaker 23: And it comes at a time and I talked to 962 00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:28,640 Speaker 23: the President about this while we were in there. It 963 00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:30,400 Speaker 23: comes at a time when we just saw a record 964 00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:34,480 Speaker 23: setting Black Friday, almost thirty billion dollars spent on Black Friday. 965 00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:37,880 Speaker 23: Remarkable online five point one million dollars a minute was 966 00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:40,239 Speaker 23: being spent on Black Friday, not by me, but by 967 00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:43,520 Speaker 23: people in general. And that's a four point one percent 968 00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:45,439 Speaker 23: increase over last year. See you hear all this doom 969 00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:47,440 Speaker 23: and gloom, but the fact of the matter is the 970 00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:53,560 Speaker 23: economy is doing well. Inflation below three percent adjusted for inflation, 971 00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:55,799 Speaker 23: gasolines that are about the cheapest it's ever been. It's 972 00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:59,120 Speaker 23: below three dollars now for a national average, a number 973 00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:01,400 Speaker 23: of states under two dollar and fifty cents. And if 974 00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:05,320 Speaker 23: it continues on this trend, we could see gasoline below 975 00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:08,799 Speaker 23: two dollars. Wouldn't that be something? Right now, there are 976 00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:11,200 Speaker 23: gas stations I'm told that have already reached that mile 977 00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:14,480 Speaker 23: so of a dollar ninety nine. That helps out the economy, 978 00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:16,960 Speaker 23: that helps out inflation, that helps out the average American. 979 00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:19,000 Speaker 26: So you do that with the backdrop of investing in 980 00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:20,399 Speaker 26: the nation's children. 981 00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:24,840 Speaker 23: Teaching them the value of capitalism, of supply and demand, 982 00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:28,680 Speaker 23: and they also talk about economic literacy That's something I've 983 00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:31,520 Speaker 23: talked about for years.
