Write 0:00:01.639 --> 0:00:04.559 down our toll free telephone number if you want to 0:00:04.600 --> 0:00:06.200 be a part of the program. It's eight hundred and 0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:08.360 ninety four to one, Shawn, if you want to join us. 0:00:08.800 --> 0:00:12.360 We are in our nation's capital. We are in the swamp. 0:00:12.400 --> 0:00:16.040 We're in the sewer known as Washington d C. I 0:00:16.079 --> 0:00:19.320 will say this as we start the show. Since Donald 0:00:19.400 --> 0:00:24.800 Trump has put out put in law enforcement in our 0:00:24.880 --> 0:00:30.720 nation's capital. It is a discernible difference. I have security 0:00:30.760 --> 0:00:33.120 with me today. You don't want to mess with MK. 0:00:33.840 --> 0:00:38.239 MK is a killer and he is. He's sitting out 0:00:38.280 --> 0:00:40.360 there laughing right. A discernible difference. 0:00:40.760 --> 0:00:42.920 I am calling it less of a swamp, more of 0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:43.479 a pond. 0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:47.440 No, it's still a swamp. Well, you have all the 0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:49.519 Democrats that live here. I mean no, thank you. I 0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:50.080 live without there. 0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:50.960 They're still in vacation. 0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:54.200 By the way, our prayers as we start the show today. 0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:59.000 John Fetterman, Pennsylvania, had to be hospitalized after a fall 0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:02.360 near his home, which caused minor injuries to his face. 0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:04.880 According to a spokesperson, he fell to the ground after 0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:11.000 feeling lightheaded due to a ventricular fib flare up. According 0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:15.200 to the statement, that's a type of irregular heartbeat. Fetterman 0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:18.560 is remaining at the hospital for observation, so doctors confined 0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:22.679 tune his medications. He had this to say. If you 0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:25.640 thought he's got a good sense of humor, If you 0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:28.640 thought my face looked bad before, wait until you see 0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:33.040 it now. Apparently doing well, receiving routine observation at the hospital. 0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:38.240 Our prayers are with him. Scary. Alena Habba was turned 0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:43.200 away of an attacker came armed with a baseball bat. 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:46.040 This is in the New York Times today. Law enforcement 0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:50.760 authorities were seeking a man who brings this bat to 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:53.640 the office of the acting US Attorney in New Jersey. 0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:56.760 Alena Habba. There's a long time front of this program, 0:01:56.760 --> 0:02:00.200 according to two people with knowledge of the matter. Here 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:05.280 it outside the Newark office wednesday, barred by security from 0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:09.440 entering with a bat. How many people enter a US 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:13.320 Attorney's office with a bat? Anyway? When the man returned 0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:16.400 without the bat, security officers allowed him to enter the building. 0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:20.960 Which is you know this, this is insane, You know so, DC. 0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:23.520 You can see a discernible difference, You see less of 0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:28.360 a homeless presence. Dramatically, dramatic decline in that area. You know, 0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:32.560 I don't understand this. Homeless people, if you're smart, take 0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:37.840 my advice. Go to California and Gavin Newsom. Gavin wants you. 0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:41.600 He's Gavin encourages you to go out there. Gavin will 0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:44.239 give you everything for free. If you don't want to, 0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:47.400 if you prefer the colder weather, go to New York, 0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:51.519 New York City and say he hid a Zorn Marxist 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:55.560 Kami Mamdani. He's going to feed you and how's you 0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:58.320 And he's going to take away rich people's homes and 0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:00.400 put you in it. I mean, you might end up 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:03.399 with a multimillion dollar Brownstone by the time he's done 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:06.560 in four years. Who knows. I mean, if I was homeless, 0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:09.639 why would you ever hang out in the freezing weather 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:13.360 in New York or in DC when you can go 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:17.000 to Gavin Newsom and hang out in LA or hang 0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:19.920 out in Santa Barbara. You know when I lived in 0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:23.960 Santa Barbara back in the eighties, I mean I used to. 0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:26.799 At that point in my life, I had I had 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:30.880 had a very successful contracting business, and I just figured, oh, 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:33.040 we just I could bring that business and build it 0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:35.040 up as quickly as I did the first time when 0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:38.960 Rhode Island wasn't so easy in the beginning, and I 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:40.880 had these days where I had nothing to do. I 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:42.640 was bored out of my mind, so i'd, you know, 0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:45.760 get on my bicycle. At that point in my life, 0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:48.200 I had like this mopet and I'd fly down to 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:51.240 the beach and all these homeless people. There's this big 0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:54.360 fig tree that used to hang out under. You're finding 0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:56.840 this interesting? Why are you finding it interesting? And then 0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:59.400 I'd go to the beach and on the beach all 0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:02.320 these homeless and I used to hang with them a 0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:03.840 lot of for a lot of What year is this 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:06.920 eighty six, seven eight? 0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:08.880 Nothing has changed worse. 0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:10.920 No, I just i'd but I'd hang out with these guys. 0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:14.440 They a lot of them, for example, US vets. You know, 0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:17.680 we didn't really know about PTSD back then, right, and 0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:20.040 but it's not what they were talking about. We just 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:23.160 you know, shoot at them, shift and hang out. And 0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:25.320 a lot of them would be drinking, you know, whatever 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:26.960 they were drinking, they'd pass it on to me. I'd 0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:30.000 actually drink it, hang out with them. You know, there 0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:33.599 was a base. There was a softba like old guys 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:35.800 that would play softball, and I'd go join them and 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:39.360 you know, borrow mint and play softball for a couple hours. 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:41.400 I mean, I was bored. I didn't have anything to do. 0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:44.360 I mean, not working, not having a purpose in life 0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:45.080 is not a good thing. 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:47.480 But this is before Marine Blount or. 0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:51.599 After, No, that was after because I lived in Rhode 0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:54.480 Island five years, then California five years. California is when 0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:58.280 I started my radio career. Okay, but before that ever 0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:01.360 happened because once I got behind this this radio mic, 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:03.760 my life changed forever and didn't want to do anything else. 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:06.840 And I still don't want to do anything else, and 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:09.960 so I feel blessed to do what I do. And anyway, 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:12.960 long story short, I'd hang out with these guys and 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:14.920 I got to know them. They were actually nice people, 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:18.440 and a lot of them. Now, there was another group 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:22.080 of them that were crazy and mentally ill, and you 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:24.599 could obviously spot them and kind of keep a distance. 0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:27.320 But there were other people that you know, these to 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:30.000 use the term down on your luck, they were just 0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:33.600 people that were beaten, beaten up by life, beaten up 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:36.279 by you know, abandoned by their government, and you know, 0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:39.080 the veterans. We didn't know what PTSD was. There was 0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:44.000 no veterans facilities and falling into bad habits, bad cycles 0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:47.400 in life. Many of them became alcoholics. A lot of 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:50.520 them smoked weed, even back in that day. And I 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:54.480 never touched that stuff. And but on those days when 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:56.240 I had nothing to do, I just I'd hang out 0:05:56.240 --> 0:06:00.719 of the beach. I was pretty tan back done. No, 0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:07.120 that's true, Irish Federal judge, this does not surprise me. 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:10.479 I think there will be another way to go around 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:16.000 this today, suggesting that she could toss the charges against 0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:18.760 the ex FBI boss James call me in New York 0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:23.280 Attorney General Letitia James, because she agrees with their arguments 0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:28.560 that Lindsay Halligan, the prosecutor who brought the case, is 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:33.520 illegitimate and the Alexandria, Oh what a shock. District Judge 0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:39.560 Cameron McGowan Curry appointed by to the bench by Bill Hannany. 0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:41.800 I appointed that guy. And I'm telling you right now 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:44.320 Cameron is good dude, and you know he's in the 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:48.760 hot chicks like I am. Anyway here at skeptical of 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:51.599 several of the government's arguments about why the appointment of 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:55.480 Halligan has intermus Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia 0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:58.360 was above board. The core of the argument the question 0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:02.520 of whether the US Attorney General in this case, Pam Bondi, 0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:08.159 can make multiple interim appointments to fill a US attorney position. Anyway, 0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:13.960 so the prosecutor, Henry Whittaker, countered during the hearing the 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:18.920 attorney generals entitled to multiple one hundred and twenty day appointments. 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:22.280 Curry appeared not to agree with Whittaker's arguments. I would 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:25.720 imagine if that's the case, it wouldn't be double jeopardy 0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:28.840 because they never tried them. You just get a different 0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:33.560 person that can file the case against Komi and etc. Etc. 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:38.080 And because they were filed on time before the statute 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:40.560 of limitations had passed. I don't think that'll be a factor, 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:42.720 but you just, you know, sometimes you just never know. 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:47.520 Another sad story on the illegal immigrant front. DNA evidence 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:53.640 links to illegal alien who had been deported eight times, 0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:59.600 seventeen rapes in Nevada seventeen. You know what have I 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:03.120 said that nobody seems willing to say. All of these 0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:09.480 unvetted Biden Harris mayorcus illegals that have murdered and raped 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:15.360 and committed other violent crimes that Joe Kamala Mayorcus have 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:19.400 blood on their hands. And because we have known terrorists 0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:21.720 in the country. I mean last week we were reporting 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:26.520 cash Betel do oj Alina Hobb in that case, identifying 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:29.480 people involved in a terror plot, a Halloween terror plot. 0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:32.800 Was that a week and a half ago, and and 0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:35.920 you know, thank God, they've found them. But to me, 0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:40.280 it's if you have all these known terrorists, they're coming 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:43.720 from countries with all these terror tizes. They're coming from Iran, 0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:48.120 They're coming from Egypt, Muslim brotherhood, they're coming from you know, Syria. 0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:54.319 Isis it's inevitable. I don't see if we ever lucked 0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:56.640 out and did not have an attack on the homeland, 0:08:56.640 --> 0:09:00.160 I would be stunned, shocked and surprised. I don't want it. 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:02.720 I pray to God that I'm wrong, But I would 0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:04.920 say it's when and not if. And a lot of 0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:07.560 people think it's you know when I say, oh, that's 0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:11.800 just hyperb it's not hyperbole. It's not hard, it's not difficult, 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:16.120 it's not demanding. What I'm asking and that is that 0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:18.600 if you come into this country, you respect our laws, 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:21.200 borders and sovereignty, that we get a chance to vet you. 0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:24.560 That means we make sure you don't have radical associations, 0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:28.559 radical views. That means that in a post COVID world, 0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:32.240 we do a health check. That means that we means 0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:35.600 test you so that you do not become a financial 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:39.439 burden on the American people that are graciously opening their 0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:42.840 door and allowing you an opportunity to live in freedom. 0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:45.760 Likely better from wherever you're coming role as you wouldn't 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:51.000 be coming here. All right, the Schumer's shut down officially over. 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:56.320 The government is officially open. That's the good news. And 0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:59.280 by the way, all credit to the president. You know, 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:02.319 he said the not going to extort a million five 0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:06.280 which a couple one hundred million would go to illegal immigrants, 0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:13.520 refunding MPR, PBS DEI programs, not even within American shores 0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:17.720 but abroad, not going to happen, and that the President 0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:22.160 said he will never give in to extortion. This whole 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:26.520 shutdown of Schumer, this this performative stunt of the Democrats, 0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:31.520 have cost the Republicans and estimated one point five trillion dollars. 0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:35.520 The President, you know, he said something last night, I'm 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:37.400 not sure if I got picked up by many people 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:43.600 thanking unions, thanking, the Government Workers Union largely Democrat, the 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:48.800 Teamsters unions, the Paternal Order of Police unions, because all 0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:55.120 of these unions rightly advocating on behalf of those people 0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:57.440 that work for them, their rank and file that were 0:10:57.520 --> 0:11:00.960 getting no paychecks. You know, never mind the pain that 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:05.719 was inflicted on what forty two million Americans that are 0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:08.600 beneficiaries of snap And it's not like they got a 0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:11.800 no pun intended snap their fingers and make it all 0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:14.240 open in a second. That's still going to take time. 0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:17.360 I had Sean Duffy on this week twenty thousand plus 0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:21.920 delays cancelations if you're flying out of an airport. The 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:24.200 President did point out we've had this. I know the 0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:27.280 stock market wasn't great today, but it set a record 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:30.880 forty eight records in terms of the stock market. I 0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:33.760 don't view the stock market as my biggest best barometer 0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:35.680 because a lot of people aren't in the stock market. 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:40.640 And so however, it is an indication. And I want 0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:42.719 to just go over some of the numbers that I 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:46.160 gave to you yesterday because I think it is I 0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:49.240 think it's critical that people understand the economy a little 0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:53.240 bit more and it's hard to say this. I spent 0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:56.679 time after I interviewed the Vice President with some of 0:11:56.720 --> 0:12:00.720 the political team at the White House, people that you know, 0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:04.079 they live, eat, breathe, sleep, politics, et cetera, et cetera. 0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:10.520 And I said, when will people feel that the economy 0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:14.640 is better? Because there is a ten percent improvement from 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:16.840 when Joe Biden was president to where we are now. 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:20.160 And I can give you some examples, like one example 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:23.400 would be you know, Target announcing they're cutting their price 0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:27.160 on thousands of food items. By the way, go shop 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:29.760 at Target. I love Target. That's where Linda we couldn't 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:32.679 pick out her train. You have been traumatized by going 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:34.560 to Target after you wouldn't pick out a train for 0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:36.960 an hour. So I bought the whole lot out. 0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:39.920 I have to tell you, Ethan on our team put 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:44.439 together the funniest video of you into Target swiping all 0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:46.120 the trains off of the shelf. 0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:47.560 It was hysterical. I have to post it. 0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:50.360 I want to say. But Kraft Mac and Cheese is 0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:55.560 down significantly, Gerber Kids snacks is down a lot. A 0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:59.000 lot of people prefer hamover turkey for Thanksgiving. Okay, they 0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:04.760 have market pantry, Hickory smokes a spiral cut bone in Ham. 0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:07.319 It used to be two forty nine pound, Now it's 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:09.600 a buck forty nine pound. That's a big difference. I 0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:12.679 love by the way, I love Ham. I love it. 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:18.760 Pillsbury pie crust, I don't know, it sounds great. Used 0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:21.720 to be four fifty nine now three nineteen. Target highlighted 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:24.360 their Thanksgiving meal for four that could cost less than 0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:29.040 twenty dollars before taxes. Walmart they made the big announcement. 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:30.520 I think it's a big announcement. I think it's a 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:34.480 big deal that they're down twenty five percent. So I'm 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:37.720 talking to these guys and let me get the exact 0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:41.200 number from Walmart. Yeah, yeah, No, they're down twenty five 0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:43.720 percent in terms of Thanksgiving meal than where they were 0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:49.560 last year. That's a big friggin deal. Now. Now, Treasury 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:53.760 Secretary Bessen predicted Americans will soon feel more confident about 0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:58.319 their finances. Hinted price prices on grocery store items now 0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:02.439 we're getting lower. Here's the these guys told me today. Yeah, 0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:05.240 it's all true, Sean. We are down. We've improved at 0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:09.160 ten percent. The problem is under Biden from where Trump 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:12.600 left it, it went down a whopping twenty six percent, 0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:17.840 so people are still lagging behind sixteen percent. That's what 0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:22.960 I affectionately refer to as the Biden Harris economic hangover 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:28.200 that we're all living through. And they're pretty confident first 0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:32.280 quarter to second quarter latest third quarter next year, which 0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:35.240 would be just enough time for the American people to 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:39.680 factor into their voting in a year in the midterms, 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:43.280 that Donald Trump changed the economy. You know, we have 0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:47.320 all the manufacturing commitment money, trillions and trillions of dollars. 0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:51.400 The energy, it's a factor, is incalculable. It's the lifeblood 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:53.440 of the economy. Saving money. There is going to be 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:58.080 tremendously important, largest tax cuts in history that Democrats voted against, 0:14:58.120 --> 0:15:02.680 no tax on tips, overtime social You know, this is 0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:07.040 a big problem and perception sometimes is reality for a 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:09.840 lot of people. And I was mentioned in the economy 0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:15.000 and the Schumer shutdown cost. I couldn't believe this when 0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:18.560 I saw this today. National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett 0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:22.080 said today the Democratic Force government shut down. The Schumer 0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:25.440 shut down cost the country about fifteen billion dollars per week. 0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:28.800 It is expected to knock one to one and a 0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:33.360 half percent off the GDP oh trumpnomics has fail. You 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:37.240 can hear the argument. Now. Meanwhile, they caused it. They 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:40.600 knew the impact that this would have. The airline industries 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:44.680 were screaming that they're going bankrupt because of this. They 0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:47.800 cannot afford. You know what it's like, if your plane 0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:51.000 can't take off, they usually go through check system. Right 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:54.040 if you have good pilots and friends of mine or pilot. 0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:56.080 Everyone I've ever methods of pilot is wanted to be 0:15:56.120 --> 0:15:59.360 a pilot their entire life. Everyone that's a cop that 0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:01.000 I've met my life, they always wanted to be in 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:04.600 law enforcement their entire life. Everybody, every teacher, same thing, 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:07.080 every nurse the same thing, every doctor the same thing. 0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:10.520 I'm the only one that never thought I could ever 0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:13.680 be a talk show host, and I just listened to, 0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:17.520 you know, in my early teen years, talk radio, the 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:19.840 Great Pioneers, and I'd stay up all night. My parents 0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:22.560 would scream, shut that radio off. It wasn't TV for me, 0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:25.520 it was radio. Turn the radio off. Now it's TV 0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:29.960 and radio. Now it's TV radio and multitasking on my phone. 0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:32.360 It's like it just never stops and playing chess dot 0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:35.440 com simultaneously, which by the way is an art in 0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:38.480 and of itself. I'm getting better at chess anyway. Our 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:42.080 Council of Economic Advisors said that, you know, fifteen billion 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:45.280 dollars a week. You know, that accumulates to one to 0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:47.680 one and a half percent of GDP when you count 0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:52.680 for multiplier effects. Their current estimate is that sixty thousand Americans, 0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:56.120 not government workers, have lost their jobs because of reduced 0:16:56.200 --> 0:16:59.560 economic output. And again, I go back to the airplane 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:02.920 for a second. You know, you're an airline and you've 0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:06.840 got schedule flights. Okay, you go through your checklist, you 0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:11.280 start your engines. When you're sitting on a tarmac, they 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:16.640 are burning fuel, and you know, jet fuel is much 0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:19.480 higher than what you're paying at the pump for a 0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:23.160 gallon of gasoline, you know, like three times the amount, 0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:28.440 and they're burning through it like crazy. So they then 0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:30.399 they're turning their engines off. Then they have to go 0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:32.680 back and they'll taxi back. Then they're told no, it's 0:17:32.680 --> 0:17:34.840 going to be about a half hour. Okay, we'll keep 0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:38.320 the engines on. They're burning more fuel and never mind, 0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:41.679 the flights get canceled, and now they're losing revenue because 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:44.800 you know the way they run these planes, is all right? 0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:48.760 You start out that a plane starts at six o'clock 0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:54.240 at say JFKO LaGuardia, heads out to Lax and lands 0:17:54.240 --> 0:17:57.400 at Lax, and it is they have a turnaround time, 0:17:57.480 --> 0:18:00.920 they clean out the plane, they refuel it, they get 0:18:00.960 --> 0:18:03.879 new pilots, and they're ready to you know, turn and 0:18:03.920 --> 0:18:06.680 burn and head on back to New York or DC 0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:08.960 or wherever else on the East coast that they're going. 0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:12.240 And then they have another late night flight. Those those 0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:17.120 planes don't stop. You ask yourself in aviation. I only 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:21.440 learned this from some of my pilot friends. Aviation's fascinating. 0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:25.919 Probably most of you, without even knowing it, have flown 0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:32.560 in a plane. If you're let's say you're a baby boomer, 0:18:32.640 --> 0:18:35.280 I guarantee you've flown in a plane from the nineteen sixties. 0:18:35.960 --> 0:18:38.399 I guarantee you've flown in a plane from the nineteen 0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:44.679 seventies in your adult life. And planes are constantly being rebuilt. 0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:48.439 So for example, whatever the hours are, I don't know 0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:51.000 the exact number of hours, I'm not that deep in 0:18:51.040 --> 0:18:56.960 the weeds. But engines on planes you get X number 0:18:57.000 --> 0:18:59.359 of hours that you can use it. Let's say the 0:18:59.400 --> 0:19:04.080 engines are perfect, they're running perfectly. There's nothing wrong with 0:19:04.119 --> 0:19:08.320 the engine. Doesn't matter X number of hours that engine 0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:11.600 gets pulled, that engine gets taken out, a new engine 0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:15.480 gets put in landing gear, you get x number of landings, 0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:19.639 landing gear comes out, pull it out, boom. Then you know, 0:19:19.840 --> 0:19:23.720 every number of years they have to strip the entire 0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:26.879 airplane down to the you know, pop rivets for crying 0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:31.240 out loud, and they go over with basically a magnifying 0:19:31.280 --> 0:19:33.480 glass and they look at every inch of that plane. 0:19:33.480 --> 0:19:35.960 They're looking for cracks, they're looking for corrosion, they're looking 0:19:35.960 --> 0:19:39.440 for all this other stuff. So you know, these planes 0:19:39.480 --> 0:19:43.480 are meant to fly. They are designed to fly continuously 0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:48.199 and anyway. So you know this is you know, you 0:19:48.320 --> 0:19:51.720 have to factor this in. Now. There are gonna be 0:19:51.800 --> 0:19:54.160 some of you that say, Okay, well, Hanna, you're telling 0:19:54.200 --> 0:19:56.720 me that Donald Trump and the price at Walmart and 0:19:56.760 --> 0:19:59.840 the price at Target. Somebody just texted me, you do 0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:04.520 Target supports DEI. I'm I wasn't talking about that part 0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:08.960 of it. I don't support DEI in companies period, and 0:20:09.080 --> 0:20:13.240 of sentence and gender affirmation and all those madness. That's 0:20:13.320 --> 0:20:16.840 that to me is like, how do I chase customers away? 0:20:17.480 --> 0:20:21.280 Because people don't want your your crazy politics when in 0:20:21.320 --> 0:20:24.200 the store that they go to. I've never really seen 0:20:24.240 --> 0:20:27.639 that with Walmart. I don't think Walmart's had those costcos. 0:20:27.640 --> 0:20:30.920 And know I love costcos. Costcos. What do you pay 0:20:30.920 --> 0:20:33.800 for hot dog? But the buck ninety nine for a 0:20:33.840 --> 0:20:37.000 hot dog and a coke and a slice of pizza 0:20:37.200 --> 0:20:40.760 means nothing. They lose money on it. It's a lost 0:20:40.840 --> 0:20:44.840 leader because and in people. I know people friends of mine, 0:20:45.520 --> 0:20:48.600 by the way, wealthy friends of mine that go there 0:20:48.880 --> 0:20:51.159 like once a week and get either hot dog, a 0:20:51.200 --> 0:20:53.479 pizza and a coke for next to nothing, and they 0:20:53.560 --> 0:20:55.760 think it's the greatest thing in the entire world that 0:20:55.800 --> 0:20:58.360 they save that money. But here's the best part. 0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:02.200 You can just admitted it. You've made it. No, it's fine, 0:21:02.200 --> 0:21:02.760 you can say it. 0:21:03.160 --> 0:21:07.359 I am if I can go, if I can, if 0:21:07.400 --> 0:21:10.000 I can go to any of those stores, I'm going, 0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:13.080 I love it. I'm a big proponent of them. I'm 0:21:13.119 --> 0:21:16.800 grateful for the Walmarts, the super Walmarts. I'm the Costco's 0:21:16.840 --> 0:21:19.520 of the world. I'm grateful for all of them. Here's 0:21:19.560 --> 0:21:21.679 the thing. They give you, all the stuff that you 0:21:21.800 --> 0:21:24.840 want at the best prices, and they buy in bulk, 0:21:24.880 --> 0:21:28.359 and they buy in volume. I remember when my first book, 0:21:28.400 --> 0:21:31.200 Left Freedom Ring came out. It was a big deal 0:21:32.119 --> 0:21:38.320 that these companies took on my book. It ended up 0:21:38.880 --> 0:21:45.119 I sold more books at Walmart and Costco than any 0:21:45.160 --> 0:21:49.680 other books chain store in the country, you know, because 0:21:50.720 --> 0:21:53.159 they put like a big bin and they'd have hundreds 0:21:53.200 --> 0:21:55.520 and hundreds of books in a setup. Boom. You know. 0:21:55.600 --> 0:21:57.920 People see it, they get it, by the way, at 0:21:57.960 --> 0:22:00.720 a discounted rate, at a good price, and they buy 0:22:00.760 --> 0:22:03.920 in bulk, which was cool, and I was very grateful. 0:22:05.680 --> 0:22:08.639 But uh, I'm not planning on writing any more books. 0:22:08.640 --> 0:22:11.600 If I do, Uh no, I'm not. Well say it 0:22:11.600 --> 0:22:13.640 on the caras stay it on air. Don't just sit 0:22:13.680 --> 0:22:14.240 there and. 0:22:14.440 --> 0:22:16.879 You are so full of crap. No, we're totally going 0:22:16.960 --> 0:22:17.520 to write another. 0:22:17.800 --> 0:22:18.199 No I'm not. 0:22:18.440 --> 0:22:20.920 Yes, you are no, just like you're going to retire young. 0:22:21.400 --> 0:22:23.960 Just like you won't sign another you won't do another 0:22:24.400 --> 0:22:27.280 full of bologney. What do you I think your next 0:22:27.320 --> 0:22:30.520 book should be. Everything Linda said was right, and I 0:22:30.560 --> 0:22:32.359 can finally say it. It's a great title. It has 0:22:32.400 --> 0:22:33.399 a nice ring to it, you know. 0:22:33.440 --> 0:22:36.400 Flow How long was it twenty when I came out 0:22:36.440 --> 0:22:39.200 with Live for You or Die America in the world 0:22:39.240 --> 0:22:41.160 on the brink how many years? 0:22:41.240 --> 0:22:43.239 Hard because that was during COVID. We did a lot 0:22:43.280 --> 0:22:44.320 of virtual stuff, but. 0:22:44.240 --> 0:22:46.440 We did no okay, and it was the number one 0:22:46.440 --> 0:22:49.000 New York Times bestseller for weeks on it end. Okay, 0:22:49.600 --> 0:22:52.080 and I'm very grateful, But I felt the moment needed 0:22:52.080 --> 0:22:53.679 it because yeah. 0:22:53.560 --> 0:22:55.280 Our chapter four was all on socialism. 0:22:55.280 --> 0:22:58.000 Socialism and its history of failure. That was the chapter. 0:22:58.359 --> 0:23:02.080
