1 00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:06,520 Speaker 1: This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray 2 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:10,040 Speaker 1: for our enemies, because we're going to medieval on these people. 3 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 1: You're not going to free shot all these networks lying 4 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:16,880 Speaker 1: about the people. The people have had a belly full 5 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,000 Speaker 1: of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I 6 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:20,279 Speaker 1: know you tried to do everything in the world to 7 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 1: stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's 8 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,160 Speaker 1: going to happen. And where do people like that go 9 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 1: to share the big line? Mega media? 10 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,800 Speaker 2: I wish in my soul, I wish that any of 11 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 2: these people had a conscience. 12 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,280 Speaker 1: Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? 13 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 1: If that answer is to save my country, this country 14 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:52,240 Speaker 1: will be saved. Worry. Here's your host, Stephen k Man. Yeah, 15 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 1: but we listen. 16 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 2: Like any autopsy requires being a doctor, right. You just 17 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,279 Speaker 2: have to look at this clinically. And there's no way 18 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 2: to look at the data and not say, you look 19 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 2: at that map of states where they did worse, or 20 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 2: counties were Democrats did worse, or even in cities where 21 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 2: they did worse, and not realize that it was a 22 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 2: pretty unambiguous verdict on the Democratic Party and one that 23 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 2: they did not expect. I mean, the good news for 24 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 2: Democrats will be like, listen, like, we live in a 25 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,119 Speaker 2: fifty to fifty country and redemption is always an off 26 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 2: your election away. But for a lot of Democrats you 27 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 2: talk to the same people we do, they feel like 28 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 2: they're lost. They don't really feel like they have an 29 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,680 Speaker 2: obvious route, they don't feel like they have an obvious 30 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 2: leader to lead them out of the wilderness. And so 31 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,559 Speaker 2: it's going to be, you know, a year, years long 32 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 2: project to figure out why are Republicans cutting into the 33 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,479 Speaker 2: working class, Why her Hispanics, which were so reliably Democratic 34 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 2: voters now turning to Republicans. 35 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: Why are even some young. 36 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 2: Voters who used to be really sympathetic to the Democratic 37 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 2: Party moving towards Trump. 38 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: And that's a lot to unpack. 39 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 2: And until you look at it clinically and clear eyed, 40 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 2: you're not going to come to the conclusions of how 41 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,040 Speaker 2: do you fix what you have? 42 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 3: Well, any thoughts, Jim from what you've heard, I mean, 43 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 3: you are right, it is. The good news is this 44 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 3: isn't an FDR fifty five to forty five nation or 45 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 3: a Reagan you know, forty nine state sweep. It is 46 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 3: at the end of the day, you take the three 47 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 3: Blue Wall states it would have elected Harris. You have 48 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 3: Democrats winning two of the three. 49 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: Senate seats there. 50 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 3: You have Kamala Harris within a point in Wisconsin, a 51 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 3: couple of points in Michigan, a couple of points in Pennsylvania. 52 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 4: Again, not a landslide there, but my. 53 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 3: Gosh, you did worse than forty eight Democrats and the 54 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,079 Speaker 3: worse than forty eight of the fifty states. 55 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: They got rounded. 56 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 3: By thirteen points or so in Florida, thirteen fourteen points 57 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 3: or so in Texas, when in Texas they were getting 58 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 3: closer and closer over the past fifteen years to actually 59 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 3: making that race competitive. 60 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: Nothing, nothing there. 61 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 3: So what are you hearing from Democrats mainly that is 62 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 3: there any sort of consistency in these early days. 63 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 2: I don't think there's any consensus, and there rarely is 64 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 2: as close to an election. I think you would kind 65 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 2: of hit on it at the top of your statement 66 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 2: right there, that the redemption probably exists in trying to 67 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 2: figure out why are they doing well with governors in 68 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 2: states like Michigan and in Pennsylvania, and why are some 69 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 2: of these Senate candidates able to win in states where 70 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 2: Vice President Harris could not win. Start to figure out 71 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 2: what's different about their politics than the politics you see 72 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 2: in Washington. They know, like listen, it is like we're 73 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 2: now twenty years into this trend where whenever we give 74 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 2: people that want something different, there's always a sort of 75 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 2: anti ruling class backlash. 76 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: So presumably in the. 77 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 2: Off yr elections or the next presidential election, they should 78 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 2: do better. But we've been talking about this a lot 79 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 2: on this show for the last year. The thing that 80 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 2: there's been a sire in Ringing, like, why were Hispanics 81 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 2: moving even long before this towards Republicans. Why are working 82 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 2: class voters used to be the bedrock of the Democratic Party, 83 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 2: you know, the Bernie Sanders crowd. Why are they suddenly 84 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 2: attracted to Trump? And it's very hard to win national 85 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 2: elections just having really rich educated people in big cities 86 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 2: loving you. 87 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: You need more. 88 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 2: You've got to have a more diverse coalition. You've got 89 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 2: to be able to appeal to working class voters who 90 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 2: are worried about inflation and economic topics. And so someone 91 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 2: will emerge at some point to be able to lead 92 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 2: them out of the Promised Land. But there's not an 93 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 2: obvious figure. I don't think Michelle and Barack Obama want 94 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 2: to lead a revival of the party, and Barack Obama 95 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,359 Speaker 2: can't run again anyways, It's going to be very hard 96 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 2: for Vice President Harris to say, hey, I lost and 97 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,599 Speaker 2: did worse than Joe Biden in forty eight states, but 98 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,039 Speaker 2: I'm the person to lead you. And so they're going 99 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 2: to have to find who are those figures to lead them? 100 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 1: It's hockeing. 101 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 2: Jeffery's probably going to be the most powerful Democrat by 102 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 2: virtue of his position. 103 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: Is he the future of the party. I don't know. 104 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,919 Speaker 2: Probably one of those governors you mentioned. 105 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: Okay, welcome, this is Friday, eight November. You're over a 106 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: lord twenty twenty four. Dave Brad joins me. So, look, 107 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: I want to already in a celebratory mood and reflecting 108 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: on the great work that this audience did and achieving this. 109 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: And if you were normal folks in a normal audience 110 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: or don't suit, we would just do this and celebrate 111 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:39,839 Speaker 1: and talk smack for weeks and weeks and weeks. The 112 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 1: reason we have this victory is because of you, and 113 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 1: because of the courage of President Trump, but also divine providence. 114 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: Do not forget the assassination attempt became one eighth of 115 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: one eighth of one tenth of one twenty of one 116 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: millimeter from having President Trump's head blown off right on 117 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: live TV. That was the work. That was the hand 118 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: of God. That was the hand of God that gave 119 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: us the opportunity, the inflection point for you to use 120 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: your agency three months later, four months later and deliver 121 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: this stunning victory, the same divine providence to put me 122 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: into prison, right because it is God's plan. But now 123 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 1: we have new work to do in this audience is 124 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 1: just you got to get up, You got to get 125 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 1: to the ramparts because there's so much happening. But the 126 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: reason I want to start with Jim Vanderhey, he's one 127 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: of the smartest guys out there, and we'll have another 128 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: clip later. He's a progressive Democrat. He's Mike Allen's partner 129 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 1: of Axius. They built these guys were you know, staffers 130 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: at the Washington Post. They gave the Washington Posts an 131 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: idea but how to really cover politics in the Imperial Capitol, 132 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: and the Washington Post blew them off and they went 133 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: got other money from other people and they formed Politico. 134 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: They created political out of nothing career political and then 135 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: sold it for two billion dollars to the Germans. And 136 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: then they went and started axios because they said, hey, 137 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 1: we got to do it with less attention span, more 138 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: impact in axios, both political and axios. The reality is 139 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: it drives a lot of the thinking that what I 140 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: call the Washington consensus every day. It's what every power 141 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: player reads first thing, one of the first things. So 142 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: when Jim vander hay talks, people listened, but more importantly, 143 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: when he thinks, people want to know he's thinking. And 144 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: right there he lays it out. We are a red 145 00:07:53,200 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: country with blue cities and university towns. We've made inroads 146 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: into both of those. We held and added a little 147 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 1: bit to the suburban and exuberban in the rural, and 148 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 1: the rural stood up like nobody's business. But we've made 149 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: meaningful and significant inroads to the university towns with young people, 150 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: particularly men, young men, and into the blue cities. We're 151 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: now in New York City, the South Bronx Trump and 152 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: that is all because of Trump. We have in front 153 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: of us a duty and an obligation to the country, 154 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 1: to the citizens into Trump to make this work. Two 155 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,559 Speaker 1: things that we need to do. I think immediately is 156 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 1: number one with everything that's happening on transition. And I'll 157 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 1: get into this in a second, is that. I think 158 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: if you ask President Trump right now on his transition, 159 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: what he would tell you The one thing he wants 160 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 1: is for people to get along and for people to 161 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: figure out how to make it work. You're not going 162 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: to have all maga in the White House. You're not 163 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 1: going to have all maga in these cabinet Positions's just 164 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: not going to happen. You're going to get some, but 165 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 1: there are just going to be some establishment people in there. 166 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: That's just reality what President Trump I think wants, and 167 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 1: I think you can see how tired he is. Tired. 168 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 1: He's tired because look, he put the whole thing on 169 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: his shoulders for months and months, but for years back 170 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: from twenty twenty one. You know that you've been here 171 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: from the beginning, but in the last year and particularly 172 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: the last six months, it's almost superhuman what he did. 173 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 1: He put the whole thing on his shoulders in every 174 00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: day delivered. He deserve nerves people to try to make 175 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 1: this work and to try to get along. Now, there's 176 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 1: obviously some things we have to fight, and we have 177 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 1: to make sure that we have is back in this fight, 178 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 1: like against the lobbyists and the swamp that clearly wants 179 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 1: to come and just take over right now. The other 180 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 1: thing that we have to do is outside. I had 181 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: an opportunity to talk to the Freedom Caucus and their 182 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 1: conference last night day day. Brett went over with me 183 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: and Natalie and some of the producers. Because Congress is 184 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 1: the House is going to be everything. The House is 185 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 1: where the action is, and hey, this is kind of 186 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 1: the way the Framers set it up. They built it 187 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 1: upon the House of Commons. The Senate was always supposed 188 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 1: to be a more deliberative body, kind of the adults 189 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 1: in the room, but very removed from the day to 190 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,319 Speaker 1: day action. They wanted the action to be in the House. 191 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,719 Speaker 1: And what I would tell folks, particularly as we work 192 00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,839 Speaker 1: through this program, or what this program is going to 193 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,680 Speaker 1: be in the Trump's first one hundred days or first 194 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,679 Speaker 1: six months, because that is about as much time as 195 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:09,959 Speaker 1: you're going to get every day you have to come 196 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 1: to work. We have to say that they voted for Trump, 197 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: but we got the benefits of Trump in the House 198 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 1: and some of these Senate races, but what they're doing, 199 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 1: particularly the black community, Hispanic community, where we got paid 200 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: these pickups young men who may have never been involved before, 201 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 1: low proventacy voters. It's almost a cry for help. It's saying, hey, 202 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: I can't stand and I can't take what the Biden Harris, 203 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: you know, ruling class is doing to the country and 204 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:52,719 Speaker 1: doing to me personally. So help. I don't really know 205 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: who you guys are. I'm told you're racist, I'm told 206 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,199 Speaker 1: you're natives. I'm told you're xenophobic. I'm told you're homophobic, 207 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: I'm told you massa. I'm told every day that you're 208 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 1: the worst people on earth. But I'll give you a shot. 209 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: Because of Trump and crafting this program that focus on 210 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:21,560 Speaker 1: the economy and the sovereignty of the country, the immigration deportations, 211 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 1: which are the first thing that have to happen, just 212 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 1: drive this into the ground. He Keeme Jeffries could be 213 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: will be the Speaker of the House in two years, 214 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: and the first thing he will do in the early 215 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,559 Speaker 1: days of twenty to twenty seven is moved to impeach 216 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. Trust me, they're going to put ten billion 217 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: dollars in back of him. They have nobody else it's 218 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 1: it's all been washed away. The Biden and the and 219 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,839 Speaker 1: Obama didn't want it. That's what we kept saying on 220 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: the show. You could tell it was half hearted down there. 221 00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: Look he's glad and along. He's got one hundred million 222 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: dollars deal on Netflix.

The King Jefferys is 225 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: just sitting there right He's ready to go read Hoffman's 226 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: of the World and put ten billion dollars in back 227 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 1: them to win a couple of seats, a handful of 228 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:26,319 Speaker 1: seats in places that are kind of democratic anyway, everything 229 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: we do, you have to understand how do we deliver? 230 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,079 Speaker 1: How do we deliver? Now? What do these people need? 231 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 1: And I'm not for saying you've got to have government 232 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 1: personality that What do we need to revive this economy? 233 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: What do we need to really regain our standing in 234 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: the world without being the American Empire? What do we 235 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 1: have to do to get our sovereignty back. That's what 236 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 1: they're pleading for, and that's what we have to work 237 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: with President Trump to accomplish. If we do that, then 238 00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:01,319 Speaker 1: Tuesday is nineteen thirty two. If we don't do that, 239 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,960 Speaker 1: because you're not going to have another Trump. It's not 240 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 1: going to happen in this country. It's come along through 241 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: divine providence, a General Washington, a President Lincoln, a president 242 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 1: of a President Trump, a Reagan, an FDR next time, 243 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 1: Andrew Jackson. It doesn't happen that often, and once it happens, 244 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: it's decades and decades and decades and decades before it 245 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: happens again. What has happened as providential? And now it's 246 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: time for a gut check. Are we prepared to meet 247 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: the moment? Are we prepared to leave it all on 248 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: the field, and leave it all on the field now truth? 249 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 5: Bert Hughes, your host, Stephen k back, Okay, welcome back, 250 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 5: Dave brad. 251 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: We went over to the House Freedom Caucus had their seminar. 252 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: They've kicked off for the new members. What about five 253 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 1: hundred people, many of our colleagues and the movement conservatives. 254 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 1: I gave a variation of that last night, not quite 255 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: the I kept it more secular. Let's say, right your 256 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: thoughts of where we are right now, what we have 257 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 1: to you were in Congress, you know the pressures. The 258 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: pressure is that the cartel in the swamp. And look, 259 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: we're a massive industrial economy and post industrial economy, the people, 260 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: and the way we have it is Washington is a 261 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 1: little bit like a bizarre right and you have these 262 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 1: needs and wants, these major corporations and you have these 263 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 1: lot and that's just going to happen. But the thing 264 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 1: that is before us, and maybe we can do the 265 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: cuts on deportation, because totally is going to happen now 266 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 1: on the left, it's the point of contact, the point 267 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: of contact the stops is on the mass deportation. So 268 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: that's going to be a core point of contact. And 269 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: you got Bensman and Oscar Blue saying, hey, they're going 270 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 1: to get another five hundred thousand towl million in here 271 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: before the before they get cut off the economy, the 272 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 1: capital markets, the massive debts that were kind of stuck 273 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: in the system, and had he actually unwind it that 274 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 1: that they now got everybody on the government payroll, not 275 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 1: just people, not just the people, people in the government 276 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: prayer roll. But they've handed out so much stuff to 277 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 1: kind of entrap the working class, in the in the 278 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 1: middle class, it's very tough to unwind it's taking us 279 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 1: forty fifty years to get here. They've turbo charged it recently, 280 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: and they're trying to spike the cannon, says as Scott 281 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: Besson says in the capital markets. So we're in a jam. 282 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:04,879 Speaker 1: We're in a jam, and we got to fight our 283 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 1: way out of here now. And the American people said, hey, 284 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 1: I'm going to give you a shot. Right, I'm going 285 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 1: to give you a shot. So we got to take it. 286 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 6: Your thoughts, Yeah, well, I'm glad you opened with thankfulness 287 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:22,120 Speaker 6: to God because we are at a critical juncture right now. 288 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 4: The economy. 289 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 6: We all know, they printed nine trillion dollars, we're running 290 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:29,439 Speaker 6: two trillion dollar deficits, and so it's very important to 291 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,199 Speaker 6: lay out the economic baseline for us. 292 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 4: Where are we? 293 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 6: Productivity has been going down for seventy years, no human being, 294 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 6: even President Trump, with all the great things he's going 295 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 6: to do, he's going to turn that around to pay 296 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,680 Speaker 6: off thirty five trillion in debt. And when you got 297 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 6: Warren Buffett going, okay, stop, you're never going to pay off. 298 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:49,959 Speaker 6: Take this to the bank. You're never going to pay 299 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 6: off one penny of the face amount of the debt. 300 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 1: You just if you can just pay the interest right 301 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 1: right now, right and stop the bleeding. We're at thirty six, 302 00:17:58,280 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: we're going to be at forty before you know. It's 303 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 1: a tree in dollars every hundred days. If you can 304 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,159 Speaker 1: just stop that the first ord amante, you've got to 305 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,919 Speaker 1: stop that. You got to triage this. So the thirty 306 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 1: five tree in is like that. That is what modern 307 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 1: monetary theory got us. And it's not gonna you will 308 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,120 Speaker 1: never pay off of the thirty six tree in that's 309 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 1: there this morning. Not one penny of the face amount 310 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 1: of that will ever be paid off. Did you just 311 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 1: have to assume that because we're adding a tree in 312 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 1: dollars it every hundred days plus these massive interest bills, 313 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: is that not? 314 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 4: Yeah? 315 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:32,680 Speaker 1: No, that's right. 316 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 6: And as vesn't laid out yesterday, the bond market vigilantes 317 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 6: are starting to get nervous. I thought this was gonna 318 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 6: happen a few years ago. It should have happened a 319 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 6: few years ago, right, So the Fed policies going inverse 320 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 6: to what the bond market is doing. 321 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:47,880 Speaker 4: And that's a problem. 322 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:49,879 Speaker 6: And the main point I'm trying to make here is 323 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,719 Speaker 6: that this market is gonna crack. We just don't know 324 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 6: the timing, right, there's credit problems in the banks, et cetera. 325 00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:01,120 Speaker 6: And we need to just lay thatstline that things are 326 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 6: not good. Right now, there's twelve percent literacy in Chicago 327 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 6: for the kids. Right, you want to ask yourself, what 328 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 6: can this country do that's populous to help the black 329 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 6: brown Every church and every synagogue needs to get out 330 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,359 Speaker 6: in the city, in all your public schools and to 331 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,919 Speaker 6: help those kids learn to read. That will gain the 332 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 6: trust of the American people. And then in two years 333 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 6: you might not get the norm right. But I just 334 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,959 Speaker 6: want to go back to another baseline too. It's this 335 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:30,679 Speaker 6: whole country invoked God. President Trump invote God, Steve Bannon 336 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 6: invote God, Protestants, Catholics, Synagogues, everybody invoked God for the wind. 337 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 6: And then God delivers the wind. And now the question 338 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 6: is on us. Right, the ancient hebrew people, after they 339 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 6: were delivered from bondage, were complaining in the desert. You know, 340 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 6: within no time Jesus' own disciples tonight, the most important 341 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 6: night of his life prior to the resurrection, left them 342 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,679 Speaker 6: on the hard work that needs to be done. And 343 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 6: so that's the question now to the Christian church to 344 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:07,360 Speaker 6: the religious folks who invote God. If you invote God, 345 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 6: now is the time for action. And so that action 346 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,439 Speaker 6: takes place in a number of ways. And I just 347 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,640 Speaker 6: a couple of quick statistics which I just found fascinating. 348 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 6: Catholic vote plus ten for Trump. Evangelicals delivered eighty two percent. 349 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 6: So Ralph Reid was right. We had some naysayers on 350 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 6: that bit. On the Harris regime outperformed Biden in one 351 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:39,399 Speaker 6: key piece of infanty. I think you also saw the 352 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 6: thing that went viral where Kamala didn't outperform Biden on anything. 353 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 4: Actually she did. 354 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 6: She was plus ten over Biden with atheists and non believers. 355 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 6: And this is the thing we have to turn around. 356 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 6: It's not good in this country. We have forty eight 357 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 6: percent of the people on the other side of football. 358 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 6: They're not our enemies. They're made in the image of God. 359 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 6: So we've got a lot to do, and a lot 360 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 6: of this is mainstream media. And President Trump is going 361 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:07,119 Speaker 6: to come out now and explain the carnage due to 362 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 6: the CIA and the FBI and Department of Homeland Security, 363 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,199 Speaker 6: like we've been laying out on the war room, and 364 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 6: the war room has a huge audience. But Trump and 365 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 6: that bullhorn now to the country, and the press is 366 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 6: going to be captive to his message. And he needs 367 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:26,159 Speaker 6: to lay out with RFK Junior some of the tragedies 368 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 6: of who get shot when they're president of the United 369 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 6: States and why so very serious matters. He needs to 370 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 6: lay down that gauntlet very soon. And the Congress, Mike Johnson, 371 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 6: and the Senate, I hope you don't just talk about 372 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,360 Speaker 6: leaders and leadership. I hope you talk about the issues 373 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 6: that we just won on and that the leadership race 374 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,160 Speaker 6: and the Senate talks about those issues. And Mike Johnson 375 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 6: delivers a huge win for the president. They have a package. 376 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 6: We heard from some of the superstars last night. There's 377 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 6: some great stuff coming our way. But those are just 378 00:21:58,440 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 6: a few of the ideas. And the other the other 379 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:04,159 Speaker 6: king is President Trump won a majority of white women 380 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,480 Speaker 6: and that that, you know, cuts against the grain, and 381 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 6: the left is shrieking and howling because all the name 382 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:15,120 Speaker 6: calling didn't work. We're all good people and in this 383 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 6: country we can do much better. And Trump just reached 384 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:24,199 Speaker 6: out for the first time, black voters, Hispanic round voters, women, 385 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 6: everyone across a blue collar wages went up for the 386 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,640 Speaker 6: first time under his regime. We need to do it again. 387 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:32,919 Speaker 6: We can do it again. Let me just say to 388 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 6: a couple quick things to give some hope here. Right, 389 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 6: even though the macro economy is in trouble, Warren Buffett 390 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 6: is going from one hundred billion cash to three hundred 391 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:46,640 Speaker 6: billion cash in a bull market, right, Schiller, the Nobel Laureate, 392 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 6: the cape, the pe ratio. 393 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 4: The markets are way overvalued. 394 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 6: That's what I'm talking about when I say there we 395 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 6: need to lay the economic baseline. The stock market is 396 00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 6: way overvalued. It's gonna come to its mean. Goldman Sachs 397 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 6: last week said we're going to have one percent real 398 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 6: returns for the next decade. One percent real returns on 399 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 6: the stock market for the next decade. 400 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 4: That's what I want to lay down here. 401 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 6: What President Trump is able to do when he does 402 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,359 Speaker 6: all the right things right, when he returns capital from 403 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 6: China and puts that capital back in the hands of 404 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 6: the American worker so they can make a wage again, 405 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,639 Speaker 6: When we deport the illegals and the criminals and get 406 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,399 Speaker 6: rid of the fentanyl, and he goes down to the 407 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 6: Mexicans and says, you're cleaning up this border and all 408 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 6: your drug cartels are going bye bye. Zelenski's already talking peace. 409 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 6: He's going to do all the right things. 410 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:39,920 Speaker 4: Even if he. 411 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,679 Speaker 6: Does all that that the economic baseline is what it 412 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:47,199 Speaker 6: is because we have had the worst economic policy for 413 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 6: the past twenty years imaginable. And so that's the way 414 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 6: I'm seeing it right now, and the American people. The 415 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 6: good news, the hope is when you're raising your kids, 416 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 6: your kids can still it will be utter success stories 417 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 6: right with God, with faith behind them. If they choose 418 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 6: the right courses to study, they learned the right materials 419 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 6: in college and university. 420 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:11,919 Speaker 4: I'm at Liberty University. 421 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,919 Speaker 6: I tried not to get too political prior, but proud 422 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,239 Speaker 6: to be there teaching the best young kids imaginable on 423 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,399 Speaker 6: the planet. There's hope because they can make it happen. 424 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 6: And if they all do their part and study and 425 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,440 Speaker 6: work hard and have that work ethic, this country will 426 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:31,160 Speaker 6: return to its original status. And I'll just close on 427 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 6: one footnote which some people may not know. Back in 428 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,640 Speaker 6: seventeen seventy six, so when this country's going economic growth 429 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 6: had just started. Globally, prior to seventeen hundred, everyone on 430 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 6: the planet made about one thousand dollars a year. Everybody 431 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 6: on the planet made one thousand dollars a year. Then 432 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 6: modern economic growth started up in all Protestant countries under 433 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:59,680 Speaker 6: Adam Smith. At first the Catholics copied that cookbook, but 434 00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 6: the Shaker is in Bradford, DeLong Backs is all up 435 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:07,920 Speaker 6: in high end economic papers. The Judeo Christian tradition is 436 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 6: responsible for that economic growth. We just had two Nobel 437 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 6: Laureates win a Nobel Prize for the shocking inclusion. 438 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, but hang on it. It was because of 439 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 1: human because divine providence work through the Judeo Christian West 440 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:27,440 Speaker 1: and particularly places like Scotland. Right, it's called the Industrial Revolution, 441 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,120 Speaker 1: the invention of the steam engine. You can go through 442 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 1: human history and it's basically flat, no growth from in 443 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 1: sixteen hundred. It was barely any different than one thousand BC. Right, 444 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 1: and then you get you get the Judeo Christian West 445 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 1: with science and then technology, and then you get the 446 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,160 Speaker 1: steam engine and then you explode. That is what gave 447 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 1: us all these opportunities, right yep. 448 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,879 Speaker 4: And to call out the Catholics, I get short shripped 449 00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 4: on it. The dark Ages were not so dark. 450 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 6: Go look up Rodney Stark for a complete modern revisionist 451 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:03,960 Speaker 6: story on that. 452 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 4: The target amongst the science that emerged out of that. 453 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 1: Period the Irish.

Back in a moment, here's your host. 471 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 1: Even gay bad. 472 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:13,680 Speaker 7: American voters actively chose him over her. Women all over 473 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 7: this country know what it feels like to be the 474 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 7: far more qualified woman who loses the job to mediocre 475 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 7: or underqualified men. 476 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 4: Black women doubly so. 477 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 7: And people are rightfully depressed and scared. The Republican Party 478 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 7: has made it clear they're not mad at the whole 479 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:35,120 Speaker 7: Nazi thing. They actually find some of the ideas mass 480 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 7: deportation and tournament camps, white Christian nationalism to be kind 481 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:44,200 Speaker 7: of okay, and autocracy definitely feels imminent. This era is 482 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,640 Speaker 7: especially frightening if you're a woman, or black, or gay, 483 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,720 Speaker 7: or by or trans, or in an immigrant or in 484 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:54,399 Speaker 7: a mixed status family, and that danger is not in 485 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:54,880 Speaker 7: your head. 486 00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 1: And even in a normal time, when an. 487 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,920 Speaker 7: Election goes sideways, it is tempting to feel kind of 488 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 7: dumb for having ever believed that the change you dreamed. 489 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:06,480 Speaker 4: Of was possible at all. 490 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 7: I mean, who were we to believe that America would 491 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,439 Speaker 7: ever elect a woman, let alone a black and Asian 492 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 7: woman as it's president. I mean, sure, Mexico just did it, 493 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:16,159 Speaker 7: but not us. 494 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:17,640 Speaker 4: We're America.

She literally texted me, how do 521 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 8: I protect my students? 522 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 1: Now we'll say what do I do? 523 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 8: And I wanted to make sure I say that because 524 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 8: I can only imagine how many teachers, employers, co workers, 525 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 8: neighbors who are neighbors to undocumented immigrants all across the country. 526 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 8: That conversation is like, how are you going to protect 527 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 8: your people? 528 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 1: Right? 529 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:07,760 Speaker 8: Because minu and documented immigrants, we did not vote because 530 00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 8: we cannot vote. No matter how many lies elon musk 531 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 8: and the truck, we cannot vote. I've never voted, been 532 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 8: here thirty one years, So we were on the menu 533 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 8: in this election, but we couldn't order. And now the 534 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 8: reality is our fate and our destiny is tied to 535 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 8: what kind of risk American citizens, from teachers to co workers, 536 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 8: to employers to church people, what kind of risk are you? 537 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 1: You see that you see the mentality we didn't even 538 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 1: get a chance to vote, No, because you're not a 539 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 1: citizen of this country. The American First Movement and the 540 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 1: reason these new these new folks came on the black 541 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: and Hispanic men, black and Hispanic families is because they 542 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,960 Speaker 1: would like a deal that American citizens come first, just 543 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 1: basic since they got to pay the tax, they got 544 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 1: to fight the wars. They build civic society, you know 545 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:08,479 Speaker 1: Edmund Burke's civic society. We're not an economy with the country. 546 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,719 Speaker 1: Where a civic society where a country that has an 547 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 1: economic And we've got to get more capitalistic, and I 548 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 1: mean real capitalistic, where we have everybody in the country 549 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 1: is a capitalist. What I mean by capitalist means you 550 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 1: own a little piece of the action, right, You've got 551 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 1: to own a piece of the action. And here this 552 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 1: is going to be at the point of attack. So 553 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 1: the first all of the transition, what is a transition? 554 00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:42,720 Speaker 1: A transition? You basically have eighty days, about eighty days 555 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:49,800 Speaker 1: to about eighty days eighty some days to put together 556 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:53,920 Speaker 1: an entire government. What do I mean by that? Let's 557 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 1: go back so you understand some basic architectonics. The federal 558 00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 1: government right now is essentially a seven trillion dollar a 559 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:06,520 Speaker 1: year cash money going through the system, but it's massively 560 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 1: bigger than that with the assets. The Department of Interior 561 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:13,760 Speaker 1: owns half of the West government land. The assets side 562 00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 1: of the balance sheet is massive. Right. Then you have 563 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,400 Speaker 1: an income statement. You have you know, we raise five tradeing, 564 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,400 Speaker 1: we spend seven training, So you got basically a train 565 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 1: and a half and two trading dollar gap that goes 566 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 1: to debt. That debt has to be financed. Inside the 567 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 1: apparatus itself. You have about two let's say two and 568 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 1: a half million, two and a half million civilians. You 569 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,600 Speaker 1: have about two million or so military. Those are directly 570 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 1: on the payroll. So you have four four and a 571 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 1: half five million let's say, folks directly in payroll. But then, 572 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:53,760 Speaker 1: and this is how the military got off of trying 573 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,440 Speaker 1: to get guys off, men and women off because they 574 00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 1: don't want to pay. They don't want to pay the retirement, 575 00:32:58,360 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 1: they don't want to pay the benefits they can't take, 576 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 1: or the healthcare. We have about eighteen million contractors. Now 577 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,880 Speaker 1: half of those contractors are the SEI got the guys. 578 00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,640 Speaker 1: They clean the buildings, maintain the buildings, keep all those up, 579 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 1: and do other service related things. You know, essentially nine million, 580 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 1: half of them are in some sort of contractual position. 581 00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 1: And I am told let's say four million of those 582 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:28,360 Speaker 1: or five million are actually at kind of an executive level. 583 00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 1: This is all very a little bit of MorphOS because 584 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:34,800 Speaker 1: they don't want you to actually know the number. So 585 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:36,360 Speaker 1: essentially it kind of makes sense. 586 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 6: So we have. 587 00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:45,000 Speaker 1: About four or five million employees either military or civilian, right, 588 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:47,840 Speaker 1: and you have about another four or five million contractors. 589 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,880 Speaker 1: So let's say, and I'm just round these are around numbers. 590 00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 1: Let's say you have eight to ten million folks billets 591 00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,560 Speaker 1: that run what we call the government and every aspect 592 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:04,600 Speaker 1: of it. And this thing is vast. The current administration, 593 00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,840 Speaker 1: whether it's Obama or whether it's Bush, or whether it's 594 00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 1: Biden or Trump one or Trump two, you have four 595 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:17,400 Speaker 1: thousand people. Now you've got committees and commissions, but basically 596 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 1: four thousand people. Three thousand of those do not have 597 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:23,840 Speaker 1: to be confirmed by the Senate. They literally are at 598 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:28,320 Speaker 1: the working level, that level beyond either cabinet secretars or 599 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 1: just below cabinet secretors or the head of the bureau, 600 00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:32,720 Speaker 1: prison of the deputy, and just below that the assue. 601 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,239 Speaker 1: These are the people that kind of you come in 602 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:40,399 Speaker 1: and you manage part of that eight or ten million, right, 603 00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,120 Speaker 1: that are doing stuff every day. And you come in 604 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,719 Speaker 1: and you have departments, so you have three thousand, the 605 00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,920 Speaker 1: process of what we call transition and what's happening down 606 00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,280 Speaker 1: there now, and hey, in some of the knife fights 607 00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:55,840 Speaker 1: right behind the scenes are staffing out. Those three thousand, 608 00:34:56,040 --> 00:35:03,759 Speaker 1: of which approximately I don't know, one hundred, the NSC 609 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,640 Speaker 1: was one hundred, let's say three or four hundred of 610 00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 1: those are associated somehow with the White House of the 611 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:10,600 Speaker 1: White House staff, and you go see the chief of Staff, 612 00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,320 Speaker 1: but the entire executive office bulla has got tons. So 613 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:18,879 Speaker 1: the White House has the National Security Councils. I guess 614 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:20,879 Speaker 1: we count ob age. It gets a little come against 615 00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,320 Speaker 1: three thousand, but it's basically a couple of hundred what 616 00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,400 Speaker 1: we call White House staff. And you see chief of 617 00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:28,880 Speaker 1: staff and the major people up on the and you 618 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,640 Speaker 1: have assistance to the president, which are a dozen that 619 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:38,759 Speaker 1: report or a senior level I was senior counselor chief strategist, 620 00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:40,879 Speaker 1: and assistant to the president. Those are the highest level. 621 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:44,520 Speaker 1: They're twelve of them that basically report directly to the 622 00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:46,720 Speaker 1: president or through the chief of staff to the president, 623 00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:51,160 Speaker 1: or have what's called walk in privileges that are directly 624 00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,680 Speaker 1: to the president. So then you got the White House staff, 625 00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:56,600 Speaker 1: and that's that's when he sees every day and works 626 00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:58,279 Speaker 1: them every day.

Now we then 646 00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:06,040 Speaker 1: have another thousand, remember four thousand, three thousand and go 647 00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:08,560 Speaker 1: and they have to get Look, you have to do 648 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:12,480 Speaker 1: due diligence, you have to get your security clearances.

They 699 00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:49,560 Speaker 1: had gone to the National Archives to get the bridge 700 00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,680 Speaker 1: log of the USS Paul at Foster d D nine sixty. 701 00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:57,080 Speaker 1: If we're my destroyer, they actually recreated when I was 702 00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,680 Speaker 1: an officer of the deck in the straits of Herr 703 00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,759 Speaker 1: move into the Persian Golf where we were doing kind 704 00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:07,640 Speaker 1: of forward air radar support for the hostage crisis. We 705 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:12,000 Speaker 1: hadn't launched yet. They actually recreated the entire scene on 706 00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:18,000 Speaker 1: the bridge from the log my point before high noon 707 00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:21,560 Speaker 1: on the twentieth of January of twenty twenty five, when 708 00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:24,400 Speaker 1: Donald Trump puts his hand on the king his family's 709 00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:27,919 Speaker 1: King James Bible and raises the right one, a whole 710 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:31,719 Speaker 1: group of people will relieve the watch, and at one 711 00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:35,160 Speaker 1: minute after that it's Trump's and this is all being 712 00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:39,120 Speaker 1: worked and very few or none of the top guys 713 00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:44,200 Speaker 1: will be confirmed because that's a whole nother process. So 714 00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:46,960 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk transition, what it means, and how you 715 00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:50,320 Speaker 1: can help the president of the United States or the 716 00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,840 Speaker 1: president elected the United States. I guess he's President's our 717 00:40:53,920 --> 00:41:01,480 Speaker 1: president since twenty twenty short perpet your host, Stephen K. 718 00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:01,879 Speaker 7: Bam. 719 00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:07,640 Speaker 1: Okay, so this is all about remember controlling the government, 720 00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,799 Speaker 1: or when you say control the government, Trump's just got 721 00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:15,360 Speaker 1: four thousand people. This is why when you sit in 722 00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:17,960 Speaker 1: the Oval office and you make decisions go through do 723 00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:20,680 Speaker 1: you think that the apparatus are going to sit there 724 00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:22,719 Speaker 1: and give you a cheery eye eye and go, okay, fine, 725 00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,719 Speaker 1: that guy's gonna do No. This is what we talk about. 726 00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:29,360 Speaker 1: The administrative state is this massive bureaucracity that the founders 727 00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:33,880 Speaker 1: and Framers never envisioned. And that's what the Chevron exemption 728 00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:35,960 Speaker 1: has done so with the courts have said, hey, guess what, 729 00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:40,520 Speaker 1: the bureaucrats don't run themselves. Either the courts that makes 730 00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:45,000 Speaker 1: these decisions, or this is empowered Congress and quite frankly, 731 00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,920 Speaker 1: even the executive branch that want if you want to 732 00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:54,040 Speaker 1: cut the size of the Leviathan Dave Bratt, you gotta 733 00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:57,520 Speaker 1: you gotta like take programs out. You got to deconstruct 734 00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:01,680 Speaker 1: the administrative state. This is why Russ v vote, the 735 00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:03,440 Speaker 1: great Russ vote. To me, he's got to be O 736 00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:03,719 Speaker 1: and B. 737 00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:04,120 Speaker 7: He was. 738 00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:06,000 Speaker 6: He was O and B. 739 00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:08,000 Speaker 1: He was O and B the second O and B 740 00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,400 Speaker 1: under Trump. It didnt amaze that this is how good 741 00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:13,759 Speaker 1: Russ vote was. He was Mulvaney's deputy. And I'm not 742 00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:18,680 Speaker 1: a Mulvaney fan, and Molvney's not a bandoned fan. Just 743 00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:21,520 Speaker 1: to make sure it's it's we're on the same I'm 744 00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:26,200 Speaker 1: not taking a cheap shot. But in June of twenty seventeen, 745 00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:29,200 Speaker 1: I set up a mini war room over in the 746 00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:33,720 Speaker 1: EOB and guess what we were doing. We were walking 747 00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:38,320 Speaker 1: through the mathematics about shutting down the government on September thirtieth, 748 00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:41,200 Speaker 1: September thirty coming up, I said, hey, we're gonna hit. 749 00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:43,240 Speaker 1: We're never going to get a consensus on a new budget. 750 00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:45,040 Speaker 1: They're fighting us every step of the way. We want 751 00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,600 Speaker 1: to get to a balanced budget within three hundred bion dollars, 752 00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:48,920 Speaker 1: we can do it. They're gonna be a huge fight 753 00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:50,960 Speaker 1: by Paul Ryan, remember Paul Ryan speaking of the House 754 00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:52,640 Speaker 1: of Mitch McConnell. They're telling us, I'm gonna face is 755 00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:56,239 Speaker 1: not going to happen. So at the time, I'm telling Trump, 756 00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,320 Speaker 1: let's let's push it. Let's go to the thing, and 757 00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:02,359 Speaker 1: Russ votes. The AT O and B w omb comes 758 00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:04,960 Speaker 1: in and has all these float charts, all these waterfalls 759 00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:08,480 Speaker 1: that show, hey, we're not going to default. Plenty of 760 00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:13,080 Speaker 1: cash comes in. You can make all your contractual debt obligations, 761 00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,759 Speaker 1: play the interests, pay the face amount. You stroll down. 762 00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:18,160 Speaker 1: Guess what. There may be a couple of three programs 763 00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:22,320 Speaker 1: down there that you've got to tap along. But that 764 00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:25,239 Speaker 1: is what the staff does and O and B does. 765 00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:27,279 Speaker 1: That's what's helping working at the president every day of 766 00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:29,440 Speaker 1: different alternats and kind of managing the government. At O 767 00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:31,640 Speaker 1: and B and I think you get X amount of 768 00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:34,080 Speaker 1: political pointies. They have a vast they have like a 769 00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:38,439 Speaker 1: three thousand They have like a three thousand person, you know, apparatus. 770 00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:42,799 Speaker 1: So this is what's happening right now. I talk about 771 00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:46,000 Speaker 1: the knife fight. What people are fighting for are two 772 00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:49,760 Speaker 1: basic things right now, and I say it's a kniefight. 773 00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:51,400 Speaker 1: It's always kind of a knife fight. Biting them have 774 00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:54,320 Speaker 1: it because you have different philosophies. And if even on 775 00:43:54,480 --> 00:44:00,640 Speaker 1: the winners, we are still a coalition of MAGA and 776 00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:04,680 Speaker 1: hardcore MAGA and ultra MAGA. But you still have rhinos, 777 00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:07,439 Speaker 1: you still have establishment and look, to be brutally frank 778 00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,640 Speaker 1: about it, the people that wrote checks and particularly towards 779 00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:15,399 Speaker 1: the end, Hey, they all have economic interest in making 780 00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:18,359 Speaker 1: sure that their needs are provided. And it's a very 781 00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:20,880 Speaker 1: imperfect world. I'd love to be I'd love to be 782 00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:23,320 Speaker 1: Pollyanna here and tell you that we can get all Magan. 783 00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:24,520 Speaker 1: This is not going to happen. 784 00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:24,759 Speaker 7: Now. 785 00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:28,160 Speaker 1: What you have to do is pick inside the apparatus 786 00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:33,160 Speaker 1: those nodes of real power, of which I'm not going 787 00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:36,080 Speaker 1: to mention because we're gonna lose nose some of these guys. 788 00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:40,560 Speaker 1: But I think from President Trump's perspective, and here's a 789 00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:43,680 Speaker 1: guy that's been through it for four fricking years. Think 790 00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:47,319 Speaker 1: of the I tell people the tension. Like last Nime, 791 00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:49,600 Speaker 1: I gave that speech. That's a little five hundred speech thing, 792 00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:52,640 Speaker 1: but you get so jactive and adrenaline. He's doing it 793 00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:55,920 Speaker 1: for hours, four and five times a day at seventy 794 00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:58,600 Speaker 1: eight years old. You give it up. Who can do that? 795 00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:03,120 Speaker 1: That's sooner superhuman? Okay, And to get on the plane 796 00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:04,560 Speaker 1: and go do it again and be so clear and 797 00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:08,879 Speaker 1: so funny at the others, Hey, I spent four months 798 00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,760 Speaker 1: in a federal prison just for a misdemeanor. This guy's 799 00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:14,400 Speaker 1: got ninety two felonies court. He was in court for 800 00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:19,400 Speaker 1: almost a year, dragged into court and ripped apart in 801 00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:21,440 Speaker 1: front of national TV in the media. Remember they're all 802 00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:23,560 Speaker 1: out there and they're all giddy and dancing around and 803 00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:27,160 Speaker 1: skipping around. The American people came back with the verdict. 804 00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:30,040 Speaker 1: They're the jury and they said, screw you, we want 805 00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:33,640 Speaker 1: this guy. But just the tension and all that. So 806 00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:37,080 Speaker 1: President Trump, who has super energy, clearly, I mean most 807 00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:38,680 Speaker 1: guys say a couple of weeks off, he's still done 808 00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:41,719 Speaker 1: to marlogo, taking the meetings. But I think what he 809 00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:48,279 Speaker 1: wants is just peace in his camp and I think 810 00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:51,879 Speaker 1: he deserves that. Now we're going to fight as hard 811 00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:54,480 Speaker 1: as possible, but I think there has to be approachman 812 00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:58,600 Speaker 1: with the people that are working on it. Everybody's got 813 00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:01,320 Speaker 1: the overall interests of the country in their mind and 814 00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:04,640 Speaker 1: President Trump in their mind as they see it, or 815 00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:07,600 Speaker 1: as Lincoln said, as God gives you the right to 816 00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:13,000 Speaker 1: see it right the second inaugural address. Yep. So this 817 00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:16,960 Speaker 1: is and the staff is everything in the transitions everything 818 00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:21,200 Speaker 1: right now. Of course, you get the leadership in the House, 819 00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:24,600 Speaker 1: you have the leadership in the Senate. But because you're 820 00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:26,120 Speaker 1: part of the show and been part of the show 821 00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:28,480 Speaker 1: and have been the drivers of action, use your agency. 822 00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:32,640 Speaker 1: You're a decision maker.
