Hopefully the timing works 26 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,040 Speaker 3: out right. We're planning on it. It'll be on Friday 27 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 3: Night's edition of Hannity. And to get his first initial 28 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 3: reaction to all of this is going to be interesting. 29 00:01:55,880 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 3: Let me tell you what I always like to manage expectations. 30 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 3: And when I look at this, I just compare Donald 31 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 3: Trump in every regard to past presidents, and we just 32 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 3: have never seen anybody like this guy. And it's not 33 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 3: because he's my friend, not because I supported him. 34 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 2: It just is he's a force of nature. 35 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 3: And what really delineates him and separates him from so 36 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 3: many other past presidents and other leaders is the idea 37 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 3: that he is willing to expend all of this political 38 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 3: capital for the purpose really of benefiting the world way 39 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 3: more than the United States and Europe and Ukraine and 40 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 3: everything in between. Says a lot about him because I 41 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 3: can tell you how it works with past presidents. 42 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 2: It works. 43 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 3: Okay, they'll talk about the idea, and they'll get a 44 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 3: list of all they have all their advisors in front 45 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 3: of them, and they'll give them a list of upside 46 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 3: and the list of downside. And when they get finished 47 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 3: with the list of downside, then they'll ask themselves why 48 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 3: bother expending any political capital on something that may not 49 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 3: go perfectly there. I would say going into this, there's 50 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 3: a twenty five percent chance that President Trump's uh pulls 51 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 3: a Reagan and says yet and walks away from the 52 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 3: table like Reagan walked away from the table at Reikievik. 53 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 3: I don't think like in usually when there's a summit 54 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 3: of some kind, is usually a predetermined outcome that is expected. 55 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 3: I don't think that's the case here. I think a 56 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 3: lot of things have been discussed. I think the possibility exists. 57 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 3: I think the fact that the president, you know what 58 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 3: he's done so far in just the last eight months, 59 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 3: He's got he played a part in seven massive peace 60 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 3: deals that have taken place. I think you know two 61 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 3: of the biggest. They're Indian Pakistan. You know, tensions were 62 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:22,799 Speaker 3: flaring up. He got involved and they helped simmer that down. 63 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,919 Speaker 3: Israel Iran twelve days. I don't think anybody would have 64 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 3: thought that would have ended in twelve days. He was 65 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 3: active and involved in that too, and in the process 66 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:40,039 Speaker 3: also took out their nuclear sites. Rwanda, the Congo, Serbia, Kosovo, Thailand, Cambodia. 67 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 3: You saw last week, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Egypt, and Ethiopia, and 68 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 3: the President's going here and look, you can say what 69 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 3: you want. He's this is this is Joe Biden's conflict. 70 00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 2: And we've gone over this earlier in the week. 71 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 3: Oh Biden allowed Vladimir Putin to a massed troops and 72 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 3: military might on the border with Ukraine. And I think 73 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:15,160 Speaker 3: the worst part of the story is the president of 74 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 3: our country never picked up the phone and said, what 75 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 3: are you doing? Why is this happening, offered a potential solution, 76 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 3: offered to get involved, and then when asked about it, 77 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 3: you know, well it depends if it's a minor incursion, 78 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 3: and then asked in another case, don't him and him him, 79 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 3: and comm up don't. 80 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 2: Well he did. 81 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 3: And you know a lot of people probably would like 82 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,559 Speaker 3: President Trump to do what Biden did. And that's called 83 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 3: Vladimir Putin every name of the book. Now, if you 84 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 3: call him a murderer and a dictator and a thug, 85 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 3: that would be an accurate description from my perspective. 86 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 2: And I'm not saying that. 87 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 3: Ukraine has handled all of this perfectly either. Dumbest thing 88 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 3: Ukraine ever did is give up the nuclear weapons program. 89 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 3: You know, thanks to Bill Clinton, that was dumb, because 90 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 3: I don't think they would be in the situation they 91 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 3: now find themselves in. But if you look at when 92 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,160 Speaker 3: Crimea was annexed in twenty fourteen, that was under Obama 93 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,359 Speaker 3: and Biden. If you look at this minor incursion which 94 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 3: now has taken over you know, significant portions of land. 95 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 3: You know, it's that this is not a minor incursion. 96 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 3: This is a full on war. But if you really 97 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 3: just stop and think about it, there are not many politicians, 98 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 3: and I'm talking worldwide now or former presidents that would 99 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 3: be willing to expend all of this political capital when 100 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 3: you would argue that the downside for the president could 101 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 3: be significant, but I don't really think it's as significant 102 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 3: as people think, because really the only the only thing 103 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 3: the president trust is offering here. 104 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 2: And he was very clear this week. 105 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 3: He said he thinks he'll know within two minutes whether 106 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 3: or not Vladimir is Sirius. He also thinks he also 107 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 3: had a conference call with NATO leaders, Western European leaders, 108 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 3: and Ukraine earlier today and you know, laid out what 109 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 3: I'm sure they all discussed, what their expectations are. You know, 110 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 3: a best case scenario would be to hopefully maybe put 111 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 3: a ceasefire in place. And in the lead up to this, 112 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 3: my take is there is a reason that Putin is 113 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 3: coming to the table, and I'm looking at three specific, 114 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 3: three specific things that Donald Trump that has brought him 115 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 3: to the table. Now, what has been funding his war 116 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 3: machine is energy. And you know, remember when go back 117 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 3: to what Angela Merkel was the chancellor of Germany and 118 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 3: is now a pretty famous story. He's told it a 119 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 3: couple of times when I interviewed him, meaning President Trump, 120 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 3: and that is once he handed her the white flag 121 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 3: of surrender and she goes, what's this and he goes, 122 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 3: that's the white flag of surrender. And that was after Germany. 123 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 3: He had done this, you know, one hundred plus billions 124 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 3: of dollars in an energy deal and the lifeblood of 125 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 3: their economy was going to be reliant on a bad actor. 126 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 3: That bad actor being Vladimir Putin. And remember it was 127 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 3: President Trump already has been able to more than double 128 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 3: the contributions of Western European countries as it relates to NATO. 129 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 3: Because after this incident with Ukraine, maybe they're all beginning 130 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 3: to realize that Vladimir Putin is a hostile actor on 131 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 3: the world stage. I'm not sure why it took this 132 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 3: to make them aware of it, But can you name 133 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 3: any European leader that would be able to go and 134 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:52,199 Speaker 3: sit with Putin and possibly hammer out a ceasefire or 135 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 3: some type of negotiated peace with Ukraine. Now, nobody's going 136 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 3: to like the outcome of this. I can tell you 137 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,679 Speaker 3: that ahead of time, I mean, had Joe Biden had 138 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 3: enough sense to maybe stop this and nip this in 139 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 3: the bud and have a negotiated settlement. For example, I 140 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 3: don't think the Dombas region is going back to Ukraine. 141 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:16,199 Speaker 3: Why well, it's about seventy to eighty percent Russian nationals 142 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 3: to begin with. So I'll use Lindsey Graham's term, there 143 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 3: will be some type of land swap. And if I'm 144 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 3: Ukraine in this situation, you know what Joe Biden allowed 145 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 3: to have happened, and what he allowed to evolve in 146 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 3: this situation is that this became a proxy war. As 147 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 3: he was giving all of these weapons to Ukraine. It 148 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:42,319 Speaker 3: became a proxy war between the US and Putin in Russia. 149 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 3: But Putin was still selling his oil to Western European countries. 150 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,679 Speaker 3: And the three things that the president did that I 151 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 3: think have been game changing. If you look at the 152 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 3: trade deal that he made with the European Union, part 153 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 3: of that deal includes a trillion dollars in energy that 154 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 3: they will be buy from America because of his energy dominant. 155 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 2: Policies that he's put in place. 156 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 3: Well, that's money directly that was directly going to fund 157 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 3: Putin's war machine. Now also you've got a factor in 158 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 3: the Putin's economy has not been doing particularly well in 159 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,559 Speaker 3: part because he's been funding his war machine. The fifty 160 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 3: percent tariff that the President just imposed on India. Also, 161 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 3: they're getting most of their energy from Vladimir Putin in Russia. 162 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 3: And what he's saying to India is no, you're not 163 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 3: going to do business with the US if you continue 164 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 3: to do that. And then I think the President did 165 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 3: one other very important thing that got Vladimir's attention, and 166 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 3: that is he's selling Unlike Joe Biden, he's not giving. 167 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 3: He's selling very sophisticated weaponry and technology that is needed 168 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 3: for Ukraine to fight their own conflict. And because Putin 169 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 3: has been you know, so stubborn, uh, he's like, Okay, 170 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,680 Speaker 3: if this is what you want, if you want more 171 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 3: death than fine, We're not going to abandon Ukraine under 172 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 3: those circumstances. Now, if I'm Ukraine in this situation, you 173 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 3: have to recognize it that that there's going to be 174 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 3: a realignment in some capacity, part of which you're not 175 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 3: going to like. However, in exchange for that, if you 176 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 3: if you want to, if they want to stop the killing. Now, 177 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 3: the President was also clear that he's this decision ultimately 178 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,959 Speaker 3: is going to be made by Ukraine and by Europe. 179 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 3: In the end, the US does not have to involve 180 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 3: itself in any of this. We really don't. But I 181 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 3: don't believe in isolationism. This would have the potential, I think, 182 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 3: over time, to spiral out of control and become part 183 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 3: of a wider conflict in Europe. 184 00:11:58,160 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 2: We don't. 185 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:00,680 Speaker 3: I know that's not going to end well, it's not 186 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 3: good for anybody as part of the equation. So the 187 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 3: you know, but you know, all, how do you define 188 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 3: success here? I would say, Well, the president the fact 189 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 3: that he's willing to do that which no other leader 190 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 3: could do. Name one of the persons in your own mind, think, 191 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 3: who do you think would be capable of sitting across 192 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 3: from Vladimir Putin and saying you got to stop the killing. 193 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,839 Speaker 3: This has to come to an end. What country has 194 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 3: the strength to impact Russia in significant ways, especially the 195 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 3: funding of their war machine. There's no country on the 196 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,319 Speaker 3: face of the earth that has that power the way 197 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 3: the United States of America has it, And there's no 198 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 3: president that understands America's power more than President Trump. Now, 199 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 3: do I think there's a twenty five percent chance that 200 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 3: that President Trumps realizes Putin's full of crap? I mean, 201 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 3: but you know, Putin sent his message by you know, 202 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 3: bombing out innocent women and children in the last couple 203 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 3: of days. That was his message to say, oh, just 204 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 3: so you know, I could keep this war going on 205 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 3: in perpetuity, which everybody knew going in. But then why 206 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 3: is he wasting everybody's time and going to sit down 207 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 3: with President Trump? That's him in his mind. He thinks 208 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,319 Speaker 3: he's showing strength to me. He's just showing that he's 209 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 3: a murdering, brutal dictator thug. And you know, one of 210 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 3: the things, if you look at how Israel fought fights 211 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 3: their conflicts and wars, they have purposely over the years 212 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 3: gone out of their way not to target, not to 213 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 3: have civilian targets. Hamas made it nearly impossible because they're 214 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:53,560 Speaker 3: firing missiles from hospitals and schools and their you know, 215 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 3: terror tunnel network that they built out and the brutality. 216 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 3: I mean, we still have American hostages being held by 217 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 3: Hamas for crying out loud, and then we have Israeli 218 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 3: hostages being held. And you know, hopefully we now have 219 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 3: the foundation laid that can be an inevitable piece there. 220 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 2: So, you know, with the President. 221 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 3: Now putting all of this on the line, the President 222 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 3: has said he thinks he'll know in two minutes. He 223 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 3: also thinks the ultimate decision is going to be Europe's 224 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 3: and it's going to be Ukraine's. He's also warned that 225 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 3: Russia will face very severe consequences if Putin continues the 226 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 3: Ukrainian War after this summit. He said, there'll be consequences. 227 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 3: I don't have to say what they are. There will 228 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 3: be severe, he said. Talking to reporters at the Kennedy Center, 229 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 3: he said that the summit is about setting the table 230 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 3: for a potential follow up meeting involving both Putin and Zelenski. 231 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 3: He said, there's a very good chance we're going to 232 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 3: have a second meeting that will be more productive than 233 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 3: the first, he said, because I'm not sure if the 234 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 3: two guys. 235 00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 2: Can be in the same room. 236 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 3: To be very honest, I really don't anyway, because the 237 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 3: first is I'm going to find out where we are 238 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 3: and what we're doing. 239 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 2: So I want to. 240 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 3: Manage everybody's expectations here. I'm not sure what people think 241 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 3: is going to happen. 242 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: Now. 243 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 3: Putin does have nuclear weapons. Out of factor that in 244 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 3: America doesn't want to have a nuclear war with Russia, 245 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 3: but Russia doesn't want to have one with us either, 246 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 3: And the one president he really doesn't want to mess 247 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 3: with is Donald Trump. So I could tell you the 248 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 3: next you know, by Friday, I mean, history will be made. 249 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 3: It was made in Reikiya Vic when when President Reagan 250 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 3: walked away and said no deal, it hinged on the 251 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 3: issue of strategic defense SDI, and it ended up he 252 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 3: ended the Cold War in the end. It may be 253 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 3: a case like that where we don't see the benefit 254 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 3: of all of this until much later. 255 00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 2: I don't know. 256 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 3: But you got to say this President Trump, he's not 257 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 3: wringing his hands and he's not you know, asking his advisors. 258 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 2: Oh, what's the downside? 259 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 3: He's just going in head first like he always does, 260 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 3: which to me is very courageous, which defines who he 261 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 3: is as president. Let me let me go back to 262 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 3: the summer one more quick time here, because what we 263 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 3: know about this, and it is as the President said, 264 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 3: he's going to allow Europe, He's going to allow Ukraine ultimately, 265 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 3: I mean Zelenski, we know, cannot make the ultimate decision 266 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 3: on his own. He's got to go to his legislature 267 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 3: and the way their government is formed, so is not 268 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 3: going to be a peace deal. The best maybe the 269 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 3: best case scenario you walk away with a ceasefire. And 270 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 3: but what frustrates me is all of these European leaders 271 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 3: that have, if you really look at it, not stepped 272 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 3: up to help their own continent. They have no It 273 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 3: was Joe Biden, America, American taxpayer dollars, America military might, 274 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 3: and Joe Biden foolishly gave it all away when Ukraine 275 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 3: could have paid for it. A separate issue, Donald Trump 276 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 3: is helping Ukraine. I think it made a big impact 277 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,159 Speaker 3: in Putin's mind, the fact that he's now willing to 278 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 3: sell all of this weaponry to Ukraine's who he can 279 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:25,199 Speaker 3: defend itself because he's given Putin every opportunity to go 280 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 3: for a ceasefire. I think putting the sanctions on India, 281 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 3: as I stated, I think that's a big, big factor 282 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 3: as well. I think the President making the trade deal 283 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,919 Speaker 3: with the European Union, and they are going to stop 284 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 3: buying a lot of their energy from Vladimir Putin, the 285 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 3: lifeblood of their economy, and they're committing to nearly a 286 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 3: trillion dollars in American energy purchases. That is playing a 287 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 3: big deal. What frustrates me is the ever impotent European 288 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 3: Union and European countries and Western European countries. Is not 289 00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:02,640 Speaker 3: one of these leaders, not one could even possibly arrange 290 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,239 Speaker 3: a sit down, a meeting with Vladimir Putin and have 291 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:11,439 Speaker 3: a serious, significant, meaningful conversation about a potential piece in 292 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 3: this conflict. And they all want to tell Donald Trump 293 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:21,199 Speaker 3: what to do. I mean, it's it's almost unbelievable to me. Anyway, 294 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:25,120 Speaker 3: They're they're now telling, okay, we're only we only want 295 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 3: an enforcable ceasefire. There is no enforceable ceasefire. That would 296 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,639 Speaker 3: be a great result. Nobody can guarantee it. 297 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:33,120 Speaker 2: Today. 298 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:37,439 Speaker 3: We would Donald Trump can't redraw the map. Donald Trump 299 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 3: can't talk about land swaps. Donald Trump can't talk about 300 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 3: land for peace. Donald Trump can can't can can't, can't. 301 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 2: Uh. 302 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:48,679 Speaker 3: And then you have one idiot European Union, you know, 303 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 3: wedded to their their unbelievable, pathetic appeasement policies. You know, 304 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,880 Speaker 3: the same people that again funded his war machine. Oh, 305 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 3: Putin's got to be told he must respect international law. 306 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 3: He doesn't respect international law. He didn't give a damn 307 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:10,399 Speaker 3: about international law. And the only one that showed any sense, 308 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 3: the only people that showed any sense in this were 309 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 3: the first people to make a trade deal with Donald Trump. 310 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 3: And that's our friends in Great Britain. Anyway, British officials 311 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 3: are telling these idiotic EU leaders to shut up and 312 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 3: stop being unhelpful with their never ending running commentary on 313 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:32,440 Speaker 3: this looming Ukraine peace talks between Trump and Vladimir Putin, 314 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,400 Speaker 3: especially when you factor in that none of them are 315 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 3: capable of making this happen on Friday again, no guarantee 316 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 3: of the result. We don't over promise an under deliver. 317 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,919 Speaker 3: It could end the way Rekievik ended. And that is 318 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 3: I'm an American president standing up and saying no, yet 319 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,879 Speaker 3: not happening. Ronald Reagan was not willing to give up 320 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 3: on strategic defense, and good thing he wasn't, because you know, 321 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,920 Speaker 3: when the media made fun of strategic defense and called 322 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,120 Speaker 3: its Star Wars, we've watched all of that play out 323 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,919 Speaker 3: in real time. It's amazing if you go back and 324 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 3: look how realistic the media was mocking then President Reagan, 325 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:20,360 Speaker 3: and they'd come up with these graphics where missiles were 326 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 3: being shot out of the sky and it was like 327 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 3: contempt and laughter. I think it probably is Reagan's greatest legacy. 328 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 3: You know, in the end, it won't happen in our lifetime, 329 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,439 Speaker 3: but if the president gets the technology moving on a 330 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 3: golden dome, that might end up being his greatest legacy. So, 331 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,200 Speaker 3: you know, let's see what the president's able to pull 332 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 3: off here. I do think that there are the conditions 333 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 3: are ripe, The conditions are right for Vladimir Putin to 334 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:55,159 Speaker 3: maybe consider the alternative of peace and put an end 335 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 3: to the killing. There's no guarantees, there's no guarantees in life. 336 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 3: They'll be guarantees of life, but unlike every other political leader, 337 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 3: he can make it happen. Unlike other political leaders, he 338 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 3: is willing to expend political capital. So far it has 339 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 3: paid off big time with all the other piece deals 340 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 3: that he has been a part of. To his credit, 341 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,200 Speaker 3: it's getting interesting watching the radical left in this country. 342 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 3: It's always interesting watching the radical left in this country. 343 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 3: So the National Republican Congressional Committee, the NRCC, has rolled 344 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 3: out a new ad tying the politics of radical Democrats 345 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 3: like New York City, you know a mayoral candidate Marxist 346 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:47,479 Speaker 3: Mumdani to the future outlook of the Democratic Party. Now 347 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 3: they're targeting twenty five vulnerable house Democrats across the country. 348 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 3: What's really a somewhat modest ad buy, but it's sending 349 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,400 Speaker 3: a message, are you going to let them? 350 00:21:59,440 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 2: Now? 351 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 3: This is a very very smart ad on behard on 352 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 3: the on the part of the Republicans, and everything they're 353 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 3: saying in this ad that Democrats want to do is 354 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,959 Speaker 3: one hundred percent true. You only need to listen to 355 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 3: their leaders, and one of them now is the rising 356 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 3: star marxistmm Danni or Jasmine Crockett or AOC or Grandpap 357 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 3: Bernie who I mean, the suck up on fake news 358 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 3: CNN to Grandpa Bernie was beyond the pale, I never 359 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 3: heard anything like it, or Pokahontas is out there campaigning 360 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 3: with him and making them cry and everything. Is a 361 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 3: very touching moment. But they do plan to remake America. 362 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 3: What will happen? Democrats just voted for the largest tax 363 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:50,720 Speaker 3: increase in history and voted against the largest tax cut 364 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:56,719 Speaker 3: in history. They voted against working men and women. You know, 365 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 3: because the one big beautiful bill out non tax on 366 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,919 Speaker 3: tips are so social security or overtime. They voted against 367 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 3: all of that. And none of these so called democratic leaders, 368 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 3: none of them are willing to take on the likes 369 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 3: of Mamdani AOC the squad, none of them. They won't 370 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,680 Speaker 3: say a bad word about him, Hakeem Jeffreys, Chuckie Schumer. 371 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 3: They're only quote leaders, minority leaders in name only, anyway, 372 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,119 Speaker 3: And what would happen with the border. They would open 373 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,919 Speaker 3: the border, they would have mass amnesty. I think they 374 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 3: would probably follow the advice of people like James carvill. 375 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 3: I do think they'd look for DC statehood, Puerto Rico's statehood. 376 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 3: I do think they'd like to pack the courts. I 377 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 3: think there's a lot of stake. They'd impeach Trump, a 378 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 3: thousand million times if they absolutely could. You know, my 379 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:50,360 Speaker 3: Mamdani now is centering his campaign on going all over 380 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:54,160 Speaker 3: New York City and surrounding boroughs in New York and 381 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,680 Speaker 3: you know, making this an election about President Trump. It's 382 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:01,439 Speaker 3: actually very clever on his part. In a place like 383 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 3: New York City that is so radically left, running against 384 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 3: Donald Trump is not a bad idea. And as others, 385 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 3: you know, desperately try to get some attention and some 386 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 3: traction anyway it prevents focus on his privilege is inexperience. 387 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:21,440 Speaker 2: What we talked about yesterday. 388 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 3: This guy has a rent stabilized apartment which is designed 389 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 3: for working men and women and for low income and 390 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:32,119 Speaker 3: for four people. I meanwhile, you know him and his 391 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,360 Speaker 3: wife make a couple of hundred grand a year. And 392 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,919 Speaker 3: you know, Andrew Cmo is not wrong in saying that 393 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 3: he ought to give the apartment back. He's not going 394 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,920 Speaker 3: to do it. But it is the vanity of the left. 395 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 3: This is now the modern extreme radical Democratic Party. This 396 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,879 Speaker 3: guy is winning. His new poll has him at forty 397 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:57,120 Speaker 3: four percent. Andrew Cmo is at twenty five percent. He's 398 00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 3: up nineteen points. Adams is only at seven. My friend 399 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:06,199 Speaker 3: Curtis Slee was at twelve. But this is this this, 400 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 3: I mean, you can make the argument politically speaking that 401 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:15,400 Speaker 3: Ma'm Donnie winning in Fatah, in Minneapoli is winning and 402 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:19,359 Speaker 3: this being the new direction of the radicalized Democratic Party 403 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 3: is not going to hurt Republicans or Gavin Newsom's screaming 404 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:27,159 Speaker 3: about fight fire with fire. This is your last chance. 405 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 3: It's none of It's gonna work when the Democrats and 406 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,639 Speaker 3: and JB. Pritzker and all these other people that have 407 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 3: ambitions to run for president in twenty twenty eight, I 408 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 3: don't think it's gonna work. Michael Moore shaming, disgusting Democrats 409 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:48,240 Speaker 3: for not supporting Mam Donnie, begging to lose more races. 410 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 3: You keep going, Michael, don't stop. You're doing great. I'm 411 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,680 Speaker 3: Donnie pressed on his pledge to be Trump's worst nightmare. 412 00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,160 Speaker 3: By the way, we have we have Hannity taped tonight. 413 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 3: We sent one of our reporters out and they confronted 414 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 3: Mamdani not once, but twice today and will air that tonight. Anyway, 415 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 3: the Republican National Congressional Committee, the NRCC, rolling out this 416 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 3: new ad, I think is a good idea, and I 417 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 3: think it's definitely going to be impactful. I think it's 418 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 3: going to be pretty powerful. These horrible tariffs of Donald 419 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 3: Trump are now projected to generate one point three trillion 420 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 3: dollars in government revenue in the next couple of years. Oh, 421 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,120 Speaker 3: I thought they were terrible. I mean, the President keeps 422 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 3: signing deal after deal after deal that's a win after 423 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:47,200 Speaker 3: win after win, and we're not paying you this. We've 424 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,159 Speaker 3: been abused and taken advantage of. In a way, you 425 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 3: can kind of argue that the script is flipped, and 426 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,959 Speaker 3: now these countries that have taken advantage of us, now 427 00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,400 Speaker 3: they're paying the tariff and we're not paying any tariffs. 428 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 3: And in the process, as a result of all this, 429 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 3: we have over fifteen trillion dollars in committed manufacturing investments 430 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:13,919 Speaker 3: in automobiles, semiconductor chips, rare earths, pharmaceuticals. 431 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 2: And I mean, it's working out great. 432 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,119 Speaker 3: And you know, speaking of this mass migration out of 433 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 3: places like New York, New Jersey, Illinois, and California, you 434 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:30,679 Speaker 3: look at the state controller controller of New York is 435 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:35,880 Speaker 3: now sounding the alarm about the state's cash shortfall. Apparently 436 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 3: it's the worst it's been in like decades and decades, 437 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 3: and they knew trouble was coming. But the legislature quit 438 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 3: for the year, having given Governor Hokel the power to 439 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:52,119 Speaker 3: cut as needed and anyway. She now is asking state 440 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 3: agencies to find seven hundred and fifty million dollars in 441 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:59,879 Speaker 3: savings in the current year budget. But next year, the 442 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 3: you know that nut jumps to three billion. Long term, 443 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,199 Speaker 3: the state is facing their worst short fall since the 444 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:12,880 Speaker 3: Great Recession, thirty four point three billion dollars in red 445 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 3: ink in New York. And this guy's gonna come in 446 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,720 Speaker 3: and he's going to threaten at tax corporations. Good luck, 447 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 3: that's not going to end well for them. It is, 448 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 3: you know, fake news. CNN was reading the economic statistics 449 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 3: and like, wow, this is amazing. You know, Oh the 450 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:33,640 Speaker 3: expert's wrong again. Implation didn't go up. It remains steady 451 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 3: below expectations. Whoopsie daisy. Trump's terrors jumped to twenty five 452 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 3: billion dollars a month and play as inflation holds steady 453 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 3: and you know, never mind the president's other success. Look, 454 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:49,719 Speaker 3: if you actually look at the numbers, I have an 455 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 3: article here somewhere in front of me in my as 456 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,880 Speaker 3: Rush used to say, stack of stuff in my big 457 00:28:55,920 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 3: pile of junk. But if the CPI report that came 458 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 3: out yesterday, it showed that inflation beat market expectations. Tariffs 459 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 3: are raking in billions of dollars. Small business optimism is 460 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 3: now at a five month high, and real wages are rising. 461 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,960 Speaker 3: Inflation is down since Donald Trump took office one point 462 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 3: nine percent. If you look at the price of gasoline, 463 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,720 Speaker 3: it's down a whopping ten percent. That's a lot of 464 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 3: money in people's pockets. 465 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 1: You know. 466 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 3: The price of eggs is down twenty percent, the price 467 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 3: of phones down fourteen point seven percent, Internet services down, 468 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 3: energy commodities are down nine percent. Don't mean everything's perfect. 469 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:43,240 Speaker 3: Real average weekly earnings increased in July. America's real wages 470 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 3: are up one point three percent over last year and 471 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 3: have increased each month since Donald Trump took office. Wage 472 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 3: growth for American workers is beating inflation, which is good. 473 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 3: So inflation comes down, people pay less. If you look 474 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:03,440 Speaker 3: at the sentiment a small businesses Bloomberg reporting, it climbed 475 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 3: to a five month high in July as owners grow 476 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 3: more upbeat about the economic outlook, fueling a pickup and 477 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:14,480 Speaker 3: expansion plans. If you look at the you know, fifteen 478 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:19,920 Speaker 3: trillion dollars in expected manufacturing expenditures. You know, there's something 479 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 3: in that big beautiful bill that nobody pays attention to. 480 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 3: It's called bonus depreciation for manufacturing. Now, what does that mean. 481 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 3: That means they can build out a manufacturing center, if 482 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 3: you build it out in a year, you can deduct 483 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 3: the entire project in terms of business taxes. And that's 484 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 3: going to incentivize these businesses to move that much faster
