00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 4: some historic announcements, so let's roll through it for the

8
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:51,080

00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 4: the live entertainment market, which will put entertainment consumers first.

13
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 3: And he was there with the One and Only Kid Rock.

14
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 4: The President signed in executive order to establish an investment

15
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,640

Speaker 5: And Liberation Day arrived with President Trump implementing a ten

17
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 5: percent global tariff and additional reciprocal tariffs on countries around

18
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 5: the world who have been ripping off the United States

19
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 5: of America in our workforce. The President sent a very

20
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 5: strong message that Americans will no longer be taken advantage

21
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 5: of by globalist trade policies.

22
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 3: It's the Golden rule.

23
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 5: For the Golden age of American economic prosperity.

24
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 3: We will see you for next week's Maga minute. You

25
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 3: know if you're going to James A. Baker the Third,

26
00:01:55,720 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 3: who was Secretary of State under George HW. Bush, had

27
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 3: a line that sometimes, if you want your horn tuteth,

28
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 3: you must tootoeth your own horn. It's a kind of

29
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 3: joking way of saying, don't be afraid to tell people

30
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 3: what you've done. Gordon Bethune, who was the one of

31
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 3: the greatest CEOs of all time, he wrote a book

32
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 3: called Worse to First about his turnaround of then Continental

33
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 3: Airlines now United. And he told me at my first meeting,

34
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 3: which I'd read in the book already, but I listened,

35
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 3: tell him what you're going to do, do it and

36
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 3: tell them what you did. And he said that third part.

37
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 3: A lot of people tell what they're going to do.

38
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 3: That's how you get the job. A lot of people

39
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 3: do it because they wanted to do it, they believed

40
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 3: it was the right thing, and they're able to do it,

41
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 3: and they want the sense of accomplishment. But telling them

42
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 3: that you did it is the part in politics that's

43
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 3: most important. Many people will tell you that they did

44
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 3: it when they weren't responsible for doing it, or they'll

45
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 3: tell you that he did it when it wasn't done.

46
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 3: But if you did do it, and Trump does do

47
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 3: what he's said he was going to do, you have

48
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 3: to tell him that you did it, and he especially

49
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 3: has to tell you that he did it because the

50
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 3: media is not his friend. Let's stop for a moment,

51
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 3: put the headlines aside and think about something. Let's think

52
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 3: about Doge, and let's think about Trump's tariffs. I don't

53
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 3: think there's a single person in this country who's honest.

54
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 3: It's ok to dislike Trump. It's okay to oppose tariffs,

55
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 3: so kay to oppose anything else. You can do that

56
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 3: with a clean heart. But there's not one person that

57
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 3: believes that he's doing this with the intention of hurting

58
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 3: our country, or that he's doing this for personal gain.

59
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 3: There's not a single person believes that. There's not a

60
00:03:55,880 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 3: single person believes he's doing this because he's evil or

61
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 3: bored or on a power trip. The most important thing

62
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 3: you have to remember, and this is so hard for

63
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 3: people to understand, and this is why I say it

64
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 3: so often. They're not opposing him because his ideas are terrible.

65
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 3: They're opposing him because the ideas will work. They're not

66
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 3: opposing him because Americans are going to slide into a

67
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 3: horrible life and our economy is going to tank and

68
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 3: everything's going to hell. They're opposing him because we're going

69
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 3: to have a short term gain and a massive upside

70
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 3: on the back end. Well, Michael, I don't understand that.

71
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 3: Why wouldn't they want what's best for our country? Okay, Well,

72
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 3: let's go back. Remember when one criminal justice reform was

73
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 3: the term that was used that when somebody commits murder,

74
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 3: would release them so they go commit more. Yeah, okay,

75
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 3: they did that. Remember think of all the things they

76
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 3: did to destroy this country because that's what they want.

77
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 3: There are a lot of reasons. Some of them benefit financially.

78
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,679
Speaker 3: Some of them. You know, when you travel the world,

79
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 3: you'll notice that in most countries there's the very rich

80
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 3: and the very poor. The very rich do not want

81
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 3: the very poor digging themselves out of poverty because they

82
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 3: want to be the only ones with money. They want

83
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 3: labor to be very, very cheap, because when you're the

84
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 3: rich guy on the island and people there are so

85
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 3: poor that just the tiniest amount of money you give

86
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 3: them will make them happy. You have all the power.

87
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 3: You can have anything and everything. You can have your

88
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 3: feet massage or whatever else you want. You can have

89
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 3: your meals, cooked things brought to you, a punkuff fan

90
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 3: to cool you down all day. Your money is all powerful. Well,

91
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,679
Speaker 3: if you have all that money, you don't want people

92
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 3: to dig themselves out of poverty. In those countries, they

93
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 3: will intentionally keep what they pay their people low. You

94
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 3: think to yourself, what I'd pay them enough money they

95
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 3: can have a good quality of life. They don't do that.

96
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 3: They want to keep them so poor that they could

97
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 3: keep coming back for more. What Trump is trying to

98
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 3: do is create an environment in this country, some of

99
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:48,119
Speaker 3: it that we once had, where we are going back

100
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 3: to the kinds of jobs my dad had because those

101
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 3: jobs are gone. We have hollowed out our middle class.

102
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 3: We have absolutely hollowed out our middle class, and it's tragic,

103
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 3: but worse, we have hollowed out our working class. If

104
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 3: you graduate college, graduate high school, you can go to

105
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 3: the military. You can go to college and take over

106
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 3: one hundred thousand dollars in debt with no job at

107
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 3: the end of it. You can go to vocational school.

108
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 3: There's still vocations, especially welding. There's still vocations electrical plumbing,

109
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 3: because those things we still need, especially repair and installation,

110
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 3: new construction. But the idea of going to the chemical plant,

111
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 3: the idea of going to the construction site, that's gone.

112
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 3: So what has happened as a result. What do you

113
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 3: do when you flood the market with oxyconton cartels get rich,

114
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 3: the people grow more poor. You end up with divorce, hire, suicide, addictions.

115
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 3: That's not in America. I love this country. I love

116
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 3: the people in this country. I will disagree with Donald

117
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 3: Trump on some of the things he does, but by God,

118
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 3: he has a heart for this country, as does Elon

119
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 3: and they deserve our support. And by the way, we're

120
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 3: gonna see some short term pain, but this is going

121
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 3: to work. And I'm telling you I'm a classical econmass

122
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 3: I'm not a big terrorf fan.

123
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 6: Jum.

124
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 3: He's using these terrasts as a tool to get done

125
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 3: what we need to get you evil stunt cycle rum

126
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 3: I do. Oliver Anthony's is saying he was a guy

127
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 3: who lived with his dog, basically off grid, doing terrible

128
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 3: jobs most people wouldn't want to do. Wearehouse Kenna, living

129
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 3: in basically a shack out in the country. Thick thick

130
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 3: country accent, heavy.

131
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: Head.

132
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 3: This is the type of person that liberal white elites

133
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 3: hate more than anything else. They would kill him off

134
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 3: if they could. They hate him, They hate people like him.

135
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 3: They will couch it in a joke. I listened to

136
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 3: a lot of stand up and there is a certain

137
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 3: New York mentality, a coastal elite liberalism of like a

138
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 3: Luis c. K that looks down on this kind of person.

139
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 3: Not just a singer, I mean the people who live

140
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 3: this life and they hate him so much. What made

141
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 3: that song special was this wasn't a guy playing dress up.

142
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 3: This wasn't you know when bon Jovi did Slippery when

143
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 3: wet and they did want it dead or alive. They

144
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 3: put on costumes. Most of Nashville today, he's so further

145
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 3: talking like that gonna ride that tuck down a red

146
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 3: dirt road with my girl name on the door and

147
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 3: blue d shorts because that's what some guy in New

148
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 3: York wrote for him, because that's what the polling shows works.

149
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 3: Oliver Anthony was living it. And as much as we

150
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,199
Speaker 3: hate social media, but for social media, we don't hear

151
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 3: that song, and the song without a label behind it,

152
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 3: without any promotion behind it, purely organically, this just doesn't happen.

153
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 3: You ever go to Vegas and you walk the strip,

154
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 3: there's a neon everywhere, and there's something pulling at you

155
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 3: every different direction, and you don't see ninety percent of

156
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 3: what's there because you boom, this guy's over here. Hey,

157
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 3: this person's showing over here. Hey you want this hog huh?

158
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 3: In the crowded, noisy world of algorithms, that video was

159
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 3: uploaded and one person watched it, and that person said, oh, wow,

160
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 3: I've never heard of this guy or this salmon. This

161
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 3: really speaks to me. And they posted it and they

162
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,959
Speaker 3: had ten people following them, and so this thing spread,

163
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 3: and it spread in the most beautiful natural way possible

164
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 3: because there was such pent up interest in what he

165
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 3: was saying, pent up frustration of the rich men north

166
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 3: of Richmond. And it was the combination of Wall Street,

167
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 3: private equity, government media, and the fact that they're getting

168
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 3: richer and we're getting poorer, and that our lives are miserable,

169
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 3: and all the while they're off on Epstein Island as

170
00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 3: pedophiles accumulating cash doing deals with each other. There was

171
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 3: so much anger. Well, people get it. People understand what's happening.

172
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 3: They understand what's wrong. They may not understand all the details,

173
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 3: but they've watched, especially the rest belt. They've watched the

174
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 3: factories close. They've watched the plants close. They've watched jobs

175
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 3: that once existed go away, and they didn't know why.

176
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 3: But now they're getting a sense because Trump, and this

177
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 3: Wall Street journal ridicules him for this, wants to bring

178
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 3: those jobs back. And I'm telling you, if you thought

179
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 3: Trump was popular before, when he succeeds, and he's going

180
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 3: to against all odds, if they don't kill him first.

181
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 3: And I don't say that joking. If he succeeds, he

182
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 3: will be the most popular president in American history. And

183
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 3: it want him to be close, but he'll be popular

184
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 3: with people that aren't the guest of Meet the Press

185
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 3: or Good Morning America or magazines or the Washington Post

186
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,559
Speaker 3: or New York Times. But there will be a Trump

187
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 3: burr in every town that will rename little towns for him.

188
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 3: There will be children named for him. If he does

189
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 3: what he has the ability to do, what he has

190
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 3: set out to do, if he's able to pull it off,

191
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 3: but make no mistake, they are going to blow the

192
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 3: Capitol up before they let him do it. Because if

193
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 3: he does it and he succeeds, so many people think, well,

194
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 3: how come him to be against him? Michael, He's just

195
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 3: trying to make things better, That's just it. If they

196
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 3: allow him to make things better, then that's how you'll

197
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 3: want things to be. And then they have no place.

198
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 3: The mafia doesn't want a crime free community, the cartels

199
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 3: don't want a drug free community. You understand this. They've

200
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 3: got to stop him because he's going to make your

201
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 3: life better. He's going to use tariffs as the tool

202
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 3: to make your life better. So stop panicking to the

203
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 3: people who brought you COVID. Run some way against the TIFFs.

204
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: A King, A Ding and this other guy Michael Barry.

205
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 3: Bukery Secretary Scott Bessen along with Tarker Carlson, and he

206
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 3: was talking about who these tariffs are four We do

207
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 3: have two Americas, there's no doubt about that, and more

208
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 3: than two Americas. But there was a writer for the

209
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 3: New York Times several years ago and she said she

210
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 3: made a statement, she said, I don't even know anyone

211
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 3: who draws the truck, and I think for a lot

212
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 3: of people that was a real ahall a moment I

213
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 3: was away cup call. The elites don't want their own

214
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 3: saying such things because it exposed the fact that this

215
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 3: woman's opinion on most things is so narrow and uninformed

216
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 3: that it shouldn't be taken seriously. These should not be

217
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 3: the thought leaders of our society. These should not be

218
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 3: the influencers. These should not be the people setting the

219
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 3: conventional wisdom. Flip side, I know almost only people I

220
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 3: know people who almost only drive trucks. I am the

221
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 3: flip side of that. Seventy percent of the people I

222
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 3: know drift trucks, maybe more. And by the way, I

223
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 3: don't claim to tell you what the best pizza joint

224
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 3: is at outside of Broadway because I don't live there,

225
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 3: don't live that life. I think I had a pretty

226
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 3: good idea of a way better idea of their life

227
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 3: than she had as of the people who listen to

228
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 3: our show. But the tariffs will benefit people that are

229
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 3: not private equity. They're not Black Rock, they're not in Congress,

230
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 3: they don't work for CNN, and therefore they don't have

231
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 3: a voice. This is why Trump won in twenty sixteen

232
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 3: and shocked America and shocked the power structure because they

233
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 3: don't know any of these people. The only people they

234
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 3: know that live in Virginia, which they think is all

235
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 3: of Virginia, is people that live in the suburb of Washington,

236
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 3: d C. Because they work in government, so they can't imagine.

237
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 3: They don't know anyone who lives in Florida other than

238
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 3: the small subset of private equity folks who live south

239
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 3: of Fifth in Miami Beach, in South Beach or South Fifth.

240
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 3: They know this little circle of people, and they don't

241
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 3: know real people out there who are struggling and working hard.

242
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 3: They don't know people who go sit at soccer games

243
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 3: and Little league games on Saturday all day long. They

244
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 3: don't know people who drive for five hours so their

245
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 3: kid can play on a travel team and have the

246
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,479
Speaker 3: belief that their kid may go pro. They don't know

247
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 3: any of these people. They don't know people who get

248
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 3: up early Saturday morning, go outside, put their truck up

249
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:29,439
Speaker 3: on a block, get up, get under there, and today

250
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 3: they're gonna, you know, do some major overhaul. Maybe their

251
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 3: buddy's gonna come over. Buddy's gonna come over. You paying

252
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 3: him no, huh. He's gonna stay all day long, and

253
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 3: then tonight to thank him, I'm gonna order in pizza

254
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 3: and beer. We're gonna watch the game together. Really, y'all

255
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 3: do it your How do you know how to do that?

256
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 3: How would you know? How would you even know where

257
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 3: to start? Because I've been doing it since I was

258
00:17:54,240 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 3: eight and help my dad. I don't that's weird to me. Yeah. Yeah,

259
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 3: you don't understand how these people think. You don't understand

260
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 3: the life these people live. You can't, you won't, and

261
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 3: you don't understand the pain they have suffered. The job

262
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 3: my dad did growing up for forty years does not

263
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 3: exist anymore. He worked for DuPont Chemical Company in the

264
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 3: Maintenance Department C unit Sabine River Works, which is along

265
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 3: the Sabine River, and he worked there. His father worked there,

266
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 3: his brother worked there, his sister worked there, His other

267
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 3: sister worked there. His other sister was a big deal

268
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,679
Speaker 3: in the family because she was the administrative assistant to

269
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,679
Speaker 3: the plant manager. That's right hand of the throne kind

270
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 3: of stuff, I'm telling you. And he was aggravated at

271
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 3: my brother. Why my brother didn't want to go to

272
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 3: work at DuPont and my brother said, because I would

273
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 3: die in that plant, Dad, it would sap the life

274
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,439
Speaker 3: out of me. I'm meant to be a cop. This

275
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 3: is not a life. People understand these people that are

276
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 3: making these statements. They don't know a single person lives

277
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 3: in a trader. They don't know a single person who

278
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 3: fixes their own car. They don't know anybody like this.

279
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 3: They don't understand the hallowing out of America, the decline, because,

280
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 3: believe it or not, people in private equity, people in digital,

281
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 3: people in media are richer today than they've ever been.

282
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:46,640
Speaker 3: Forbes just released their list of millionaires and billionaires said

283
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,880
Speaker 3: there are threeenty twenty eight billionaires on this year's list.

284
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 3: Threeenty twenty eight billionaires in the world. That's up from

285
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 3: twenty seven to eighty one last year alone, which means

286
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 3: that two hundreundred and fifty people crossed into the billionaire category,

287
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 3: not millionaire. Of those people who are billionaires, they have

288
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:19,199
Speaker 3: a collective net worth of more than sixteen trillion dollars,

289
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:27,439
Speaker 3: which in one year has increased by over two trillion dollars.

290
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 3: That's a substantial increase, So two million over fourteen about

291
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 3: a fifteen percent increase in net worth Now. Some of

292
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:42,360
Speaker 3: you hate rich people. I understand that. I get it.

293
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 3: It's the root of a lot of populism. You don't

294
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 3: hate Trump, but you hate rich people. Trump rich good,

295
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 3: other rich bad because rich people have nice things and

296
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 3: we hate them for having them. I don't get it.

297
00:20:54,400 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 3: I don't. But it's a thing when you understand that

298
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 3: rich people are getting richer on a faster scale and

299
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 3: what used to be the working class is falling into poverty.

300
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 3: It's very scary to watch. It's very scary for me

301
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 3: having grown up in it. The number of working class

302
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 3: people who have a decent quality of life has decreased

303
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 3: in this country dramatically. By decent quality of life, I

304
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 3: mean own their own, if modest home, two vehicles, kids

305
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 3: in public school, and can take a vacation per year,

306
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 3: even if that means driving to the big city and

307
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 3: state to night in the hotel and going to a

308
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 3: baseball game. The number of people who are making it today,

309
00:21:53,280 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 3: it is, it is in What's it led to? Oxyconon addictions,

310
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 3: busted up marriages, cynicism, frustration, alcoholism, different addictions, broken broken lives.

311
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 3: And a big part of that is economic because people

312
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 3: start finding ways to hide from that life, to seek

313
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 3: refuge from that life. And Trump knows this intuitively, he

314
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,919
Speaker 3: knows this. This is the most important thing. He's going

315
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 3: to do this in the border. This is it, folks.

316
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 3: We need to be all in for this. Southern pride.

317
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 3: Southern pride. To Michael Berry Show, Scott Bessen's there's turned

318
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 3: out to be a pretty good Treasury Secretary was talking

319
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 3: to Did we play that audio? I'm meant to remind

320
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,360
Speaker 3: you got to you gotta keep me on pace. He's

321
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 3: talking about this. That's what led me to say. The

322
00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 3: people who will benefit from tariffs are not the people

323
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 3: who are doing the Sunday morning talk shows or writing

324
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 3: for the big magazines or newspapers are on CNN. It's

325
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 3: people in what Ronald Reagan called flyover country, the part

326
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 3: of the country that most people never stop in Omaha, Nebraska.

327
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 3: The people that go see Larry the Cable Guy. The

328
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 3: people that go to the lake that you've never heard

329
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 3: of because it's not fancy enough. The people who save

330
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 3: up for one time to take their kids to Disney

331
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 3: and can't believe how much it costs. The people who

332
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 3: are carrying a few extra pounds and don't have the

333
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 3: money for a weight loss program. The people who pay

334
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 3: off debt because they're scared to death of it and

335
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 3: they only take it when they absolutely need to. That's

336
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 3: who these tariffs are going to help. That's the design

337
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 3: of it. But that has no interest to the people

338
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 3: who are opposing it. The distribution of equities across households.

339
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 3: The top ten percent of Americans own eighty eight percent

340
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,439
Speaker 3: of equities, eighty eight percent into the stop market. The

341
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:05,919
Speaker 3: next forty owns twelve percent of the stop market. The

342
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 3: bottom fifty has debt, they.

343
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 2: Have credit card bills, they rent their homes, they have

344
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 2: auto loans, and we've got to give them some relief

345
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:20,400
Speaker 2: that I was struck by the statistic from last year.

346
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 3: There's a message right there. Just as a bystander, I'm like, wow, okay, right,

347
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 3: or that I like the examples.

348
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,640
Speaker 2: And I was really struck by two different statistics last year.

349
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 2: Summer of twenty twenty four, Americans took more European vacations

350
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 2: than they had in history. Summer of twenty twenty four,

351
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 2: more Americans were using food banks than they ever have

352
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 2: in history. I went into two food banks that near

353
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 2: my hometown to ask what's the story, and they said,

354
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,679
Speaker 2: you know, it really takes for a lot of people.

355
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 2: It's a loss of ding to walk in a food bank. Course,

356
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 2: but they were seeing something, a new phenomenon that it

357
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 2: wasn't their traditional clientele. Wasn't people who'd lost their homes.

358
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 2: Were was it people out on the street. These were

359
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 2: working families who could no longer one hundred dollars at

360
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 2: the grocery store. That basket of groceries every week, they

361
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 2: were missing five, six, seven things and they were coming

362
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 2: to the food bank the top up. So that's not

363
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 2: a great America record, European vacation record food banks, and

364
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 2: no reason we can't keep the record European vacations going.

365
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,159
Speaker 2: But we got to take care of these other people.

366
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 3: You begin to understand when you study how complicated the

367
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 3: American economy is and how massive this country is. Environmental

368
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:55,919
Speaker 3: regulations that make people in San Francisco happy cause people

369
00:25:55,960 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 3: in small towns in West Virginia to go vote. And

370
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:05,160
Speaker 3: these aren't people with a safety net. These are people

371
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 3: with permanently blackened nails and inmphysema, and they live in

372
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 3: a trailer of the floor is falling out of and

373
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 3: there is a disdain from the coastal elites for these

374
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 3: sorts of people. It was Hillary Clinton, I will remind

375
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 3: you who said, Yeah, I'm going to cost you your job.

376
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 3: You need to find another job. I'm going to take

377
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 3: measures that are going to destroy the company that you

378
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 3: work for and they will no longer need you. And

379
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,679
Speaker 3: that's the only thing you know how to do. And

380
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 3: you should probably move anyway, because you're in a broken

381
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 3: down little town without any sophisticated restaurants or a public

382
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 3: transit or bike lanes or vegetarianism. You should probably move anyway.

383
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 3: This kind of disdain creates in me such an anger,

384
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:04,120
Speaker 3: such of bitterness, such a resentment, that if I do

385
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:08,919
Speaker 3: not contain it, it will overwhelm me. And the reason

386
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 3: is most people live on one or the other extreme.

387
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 3: I've lived in both. I know am related to love,

388
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 3: adore care for extremely poor people, and I know have

389
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 3: been assisted by, have been befriended by very wealthy people.

390
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 3: And I understand the two lives rather clearly. When those

391
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:42,919
Speaker 3: very wealthy people have absolutely no compassion for poor people,

392
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 3: especially poor white people. They like the idea that they

393
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 3: want to help poor black people, but they don't. They

394
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 3: want to own poor black people. It's modern day slavery.

395
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 3: The idea is we'll have them as a pet. We'll

396
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 3: give them their food, we'll tell them how to vote,

397
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 3: we'll tell them what their opinion is, will show that

398
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 3: we really care for them. Because we saw the movie

399
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 3: The Help and we don't want to eat the poop sandwich.

400
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 3: We love that line. We cheered for the black lady,

401
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 3: not the racist white lady. A lot of this virtue signaling,

402
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 3: you see, very very common. Victor Davis Hanson echoed what

403
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 3: Scott Bessant, the Treasury Secretary, had to say on Tucker Carlson,

404
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 3: and he said, it's a class thing. If you've listened

405
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 3: to me very long, you know that that is my

406
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 3: belief what all this is. It is a class issue.

407
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 3: This is a class thing. It really is.

408
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 6: Don't Trump Mirrabelle dick to I can't believe he did

409
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 6: it as a classical Republican. He's not classical Republican. But

410
00:28:55,800 --> 00:29:01,239
Speaker 6: what Don't Trump did was he said, this Republican is

411
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 6: going to side on This Republican is going to choose

412
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 6: the side of the working man.

413
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 3: It's not going to choose Wall Street. Wall Street hates

414
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 3: Donald Trump.

415
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 6: Have you ever seen anybody in this audience it's watching

416
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 6: or listening. Has anybody ever in their wildest imagination think

417
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 6: that Democrats would be on the floor of the Congress

418
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 6: blasting Donald Trump and worried that Wall Street's going to

419
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 6: be hurt and not talking one word about the working

420
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 6: classes that are all for this because they think, finally

421
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 6: somebody is listening. And the final thing is hasn't had

422
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 6: any effects. Donald Trump says four trillion dollars in foreign investment.

423
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 6: The figures I've seen are commitments, they're not actualizations yet,

424
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 6: but three point one trillion. If that comes in three

425
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 6: point one trillion, there'll be million of jobs that come

426
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 6: in here for people to avoid these terra because he's

427
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 6: just saying, if you come in the United States and

428
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 6: you want to help us, you can.

429
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 3: Keep the profits. You just have to have the jobs here.

430
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 6: If your Mercedes Benz and you get a three to

431
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 6: eight percent profit on your sales, fine, but the cost

432
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 6: and the services and the labor's going to be here.

433
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 6: You're going to pay for things here, and so it's

434
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 6: going to be a boon to the interior of America

435
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 6: and the Democrats because they have no other alternative. Agenda.

436
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 6: They are taking the side of the uber rich even

437
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 6: while they blast olive arts and aristocrats and plutocrats. Now

438
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 6: you're on the side of plutocrats and aristocrats. You guys

439
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 6: were the party of globalization under Bill Clinton that started

440
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 6: it all off.

441
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 3: You were the people who.

442
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 6: Thought globalization was neat because you could wean the billionaire

443
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 6: class over to your site, which is about seventy percent

444
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 6: of them are on their side, so they are speaking

445
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 6: in their interests. They're not speaking for the people of Pennsylvania,

446
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 6: are Michigan or Wisconsin.

447
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 3: The working people don't think it's just India that has

448
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 3: a caste system. We have a very clear cast system.

449
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 3: Nobody likes to talk about it. Trust me, we do
