Sharing his birthday 10 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: and his birth year really really very very sad, and 11 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 1: you know, it's just a terrible situation, and people are 12 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 1: so callous about it. I get in conversations all over 13 00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: the place and people are callous. You know, They're like, oh, well, 14 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: you had really strong opinions and whatever, like he deserved it, 15 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 1: and they just couldn't deal with it because he was 16 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: blowing their doors off in the civil dialogue and the discussion. 17 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 1: But I get listen, I have a great guest with 18 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: us right now.

I am a former 33 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 2: police officer, also a former federal police officer before I retired, 34 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 2: and after nine to eleven I went back into the 35 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:19,519 Speaker 2: Army and to go to Iraq, and I've been retired since. 36 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 2: Right now, I work for I'm a manager for Global 37 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,839 Speaker 2: SQ and we are a contractor through Toyota here, which 38 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 2: is the largest North American automotive plant here in Georgetown, Kentucky. 39 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 1: So okay, that's really that's really great. It's really wonderful. 40 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,679 Speaker 1: So why the hell do you want to get into politics? 41 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 1: It's vicious. It's vicious. There's going to be a real 42 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 1: contentious primary in Kentucky next year. It appears that way. 43 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: Thus far, so many issues right Kentucky. I was in 44 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: Louisville with Real America's voice on the ground. I couldn't 45 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: believe the crime. Just like every blue city across America 46 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: that I've been to, the crime is always three times 47 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: the rest of the state. Same for Louisville. 48 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 3: Right. 49 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 1: I know that's not your district, but it's important because 50 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: you're law enforcement, Yes, sir. 51 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 2: One of the things that they're fighting right now the 52 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 2: police department, I would have to say, is they're three 53 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 2: hundred officers short right now. 54 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: In that department. 55 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 2: They have over a little over one thousand, not quite 56 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 2: eleven hundred yet, but they're at three hundred officers shortage. 57 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 2: But they also lose officers to go to other departments. 58 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 2: They have better benefits, better pay, better incentives, and that 59 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 2: really hurts the department. When you start losing seasoned officers. 60 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 2: It's going to take They said that it takes about 61 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty recruits a year just to get 62 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 2: up to that three hundred. So now you're looking at 63 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 2: you're looking at two years, But then from there, I mean, 64 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 2: how much farther is it going to be with you 65 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 2: losing those officers too, I mean that you can't replace 66 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 2: now veteran. 67 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: Is it systemic? Is it the bail reform type agenda? 68 00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: What is it? Why can't they do it? 69 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 2: One of the reasons why, I think, is money there 70 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 2: and the incentives there? There's not there. Why work that 71 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 2: load that you're doing as a police officer when you 72 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 2: can go to a smaller town and be safer. I mean, 73 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 2: these cops all have families. 74 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 1: Sounds like I have city Yes, sir, yes, sir. 75 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,160 Speaker 2: It's a never ending battle, really, but I think when 76 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 2: your community support your law enforcement, that's when crime goes 77 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 2: down and money goes back into the departments like it should. 78 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 2: And I'm talking officers on the street. I'm not talking 79 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 2: non essential personnel. 80 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I get it. Tell us about your farmers. 81 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: You know, soybean farmers facing some challenges, but a lot 82 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,600 Speaker 1: of farmers around the country aren't just soybean farmers. They 83 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: grow other crops. We're waiting for this China thing to 84 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 1: play out. Tell us about how large the farming community 85 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: is in Kentucky. 86 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 2: In Kentucky soybeans alone is one point four billion dollars 87 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 2: a year for just soybeans in Kentucky alone. And then 88 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 2: you're talking about our beef industry. Here, our beef industry, 89 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 2: we're a little bit I mean, we're a little bit 90 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,679 Speaker 2: down on that as far as I think, we're right 91 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 2: around fourteenth in the nation on beef. But we're losing 92 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 2: beef farmers across the US every day. It seems like. 93 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 2: I had a farmer come to me yesterday. He did 94 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 2: nothing but soybeans, and he's he said, if it doesn't 95 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 2: pick up with this thing with China and stuff, he's 96 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,599 Speaker 2: going to lose his farm next year. And he's just 97 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 2: one across the state that I met yesterday. And it 98 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 2: was just one person out of twenty. 99 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it's terrible. I know that the farmers always 100 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: have it tough. The rugged individuals built. 101 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 2: This, and the rise of the rise of seed and 102 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 2: the rise of fertilizer and equipment, the farmers are the 103 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 2: one that's carrying that load. It's not the meat packers, 104 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 2: and it's not the consumer. It's the farmers that's putting 105 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 2: that money right back into it, and their prices are 106 00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 2: going up. They're not seeing anything out of. 107 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: It, and the diemonium phosphate and fertilizes doubled and tripled 108 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: during the Biden years. Yes, and you got all the 109 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: legacy costs. Right, You're coming to the near end of 110 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 1: the farming season. You still got to carry farm through 111 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: the winter, right and if you didn't do that extra 112 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,479 Speaker 1: soybean farming or whatever else you had to do, that 113 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 1: could hurt, right, Yes, sir, Yes, sir. 114 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 2: And I don't mean to grite, but you know we've 115 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 2: got a governor now though with the soybean thing going on. 116 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 2: We got a governor that's in Europe right now, and 117 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 2: no one's saying anything about this. You know, we want 118 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,039 Speaker 2: Trump to meet with China, and if no one's going 119 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 2: to step up to meet with China, I'll do it. 120 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 2: I'll go with this envoy to do it. I'll represent Kentucky. 121 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 2: But it just seems like no one's taking that mantle 122 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 2: when they know that the farmer this is a major 123 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 2: thing for Kentucky. 124 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,919 Speaker 1: Is the tariff money going to go to help the farmers. 125 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 2: I'm hoping, I'm really hoping. But that's something that we 126 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 2: need to fight for and we need to make sure 127 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 2: and with me in Congress. This is something that's I'm 128 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 2: taking this fight head on. You have a small farm. 129 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: I'm right, you have a farm, you said, yes, sir, 130 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 1: I do. I have a small farm. 131 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 2: It's twenty five acres, but my neighbor's got four hundred 132 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 2: acres that surrounds me. And my costs keep going up, 133 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 2: and the money that I make every year, we put 134 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 2: it right back into it. I have a friend that's 135 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 2: down the road. They just sold all their cows and 136 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 2: they can't get They're not going to get any more 137 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 2: new cows. Number one, the insurance company's raising all their 138 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 2: rates on this, and so every time you buy a 139 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 2: new cow or a goat or a chicken, they want 140 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 2: to raise your rate. 141 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, sounds like the insurance companies are at the heart 142 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: of a lot of our problems. Yes, sir, Home owns 143 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: insurance and the likes why are you better than Thomas Massey? 144 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 2: Because I'm going to fight for this. All I see 145 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 2: is Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, you know, or he's known as 146 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 2: mister No in Washington. 147 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 4: You know. 148 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 2: My thing is, if it's a no, then I want 149 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 2: to know why it's a no.

I need my constituents to 152 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 2: tell me what they want me to do, and not 153 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 2: just know if you want me to make it a yes. 154 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 2: What do we need to go and do?

You know, the Republicans could pick up 161 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: as many as thirteen districts through redistricting alone next year, 162 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: but Dums is still favored to flip it. You know, 163 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: what do you think is going to happen. I'll give 164 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: you the final word.

But we have to 167 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 2: get out.

It's always some crazy scenario debauchery, you know, kids, 237 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 1: kids in eighth grade doing horrendous things and just terrible, 238 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: you know. And I want to discuss that with our 239 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,079 Speaker 1: next guest Coward Leopardo, Welcome to the show. 240 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 3: Thank you for having me and supporting with the Studios. 241 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,839 Speaker 1: Yes, so you are the co founder of We the Studios. 242 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: The streaming revolution rooted in real values. Tell us about it. 243 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 3: So it's real simple. I worked in Hollywood for seventeen 244 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 3: year and increasingly, year by year, day by day, the 245 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 3: talent went from being the most talented person in the 246 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 3: room to the biggest victim, the biggest challenge, or the 247 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,440 Speaker 3: biggest SOB story, and it was we just it wasn't 248 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 3: art anymore. It became these diversity type talents. So I 249 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 3: stepped away from the business for a few years, had 250 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 3: a few more kids, four in total, and when I 251 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 3: went wanted to go back to work, I was notified 252 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 3: that it will be very difficult for a white woman 253 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 3: to work in Hollywood with no pronouns, and jokingly I 254 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 3: told my agent, what am I going to do? He said, 255 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 3: start start a streaming platform, and so the exactly what 256 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 3: we did at with the Studios. We started our own 257 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 3: sting platform, Reality TV. But we're focusing on TV and 258 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 3: a value driven way. If you can imagine that. 259 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: Well, I've seen you guys, you've been everywhere. So I 260 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: wish you the best of luck, and you know, I'm 261 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: so tired of it. You know, I want to talk 262 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: on two levels. One is an adult watching movies. I 263 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: like a good comedy, Fast Times at Ridgemon High. Yeah 264 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: there's adult humor, but it's rated R. You know what 265 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 1: you're getting into now? Everything is not rated R. And 266 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: even if it is, if it's our it's just sick 267 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 1: in the head. And they always got to get like 268 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:17,079 Speaker 1: one or two like really graphic, runchy, disgusting scenes in there. 269 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: What's the driving factor of that in Hollywood? Is it 270 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: that they're just it's like satanic, It's crazy. Tell us 271 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 1: about Hollywood all the time you spent out there, tell 272 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: us about your experience. 273 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 3: Well, it definitely brought me closer to my faith because 274 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 3: I somehow I met my husband and lived a really, 275 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 3: really great life out there. But in doing that, I 276 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 3: think they just really hate us. They hate the traditional 277 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 3: nuclear family. They don't want masculine men. They do not 278 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 3: want women to be wives and mothers and business women 279 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 3: all at the same time. They've told women for years 280 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 3: choose be a professional or be a mom, But you 281 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 3: can't be both. And I'm living proof. That's a complete lie. 282 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 3: So short answer of it is, I think they hate 283 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 3: us and they hate traditional American values, and they'll do 284 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 3: whatever they can to destroy it. 285 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, it makes sense. I cover a lot of the 286 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: other studios that have emerged in the last several years 287 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 1: that aren't hostage to Hollywood production and money. But I'm 288 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: really glad to see this. Now. You're a streaming platform, 289 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 1: you have shows and movies. Tell us about what you 290 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: have in programming. 291 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 3: So we currently for this year as well as twenty six, 292 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 3: we will have exclusive reality television. The reason for that 293 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 3: is it's the fastest way to market, and that's really 294 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 3: the only thing we can't control is time. Time is 295 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 3: not our friend and entertainment. So the fastest way to 296 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 3: market to make sure that we have a robust platform 297 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 3: with tons and tons of content is reality TV, and 298 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 3: we will. We'll focus on feature films and rom coms eventually. 299 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 1: Tell us about Raising Reynolds. It's one of your shows, right, Oh. 300 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 3: My gosh, it's so fun. Blake Reynolds.

And you know, 309 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 3: unfortunately they were in foster care for a period of time. 310 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 3: But the Reynolds scooped up these beautiful kids and they 311 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 3: they're raising them right, They're raising them without technology, They're 312 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 3: raising them with values, and the dad's involved in their life, 313 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 3: something Hollywood does. They just don't show that anymore. They 314 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 3: don't show the strong father involved with the kids.

We go where 339 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,919 Speaker 3: the talent is. With reality TV, you find the talent 340 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 3: and we pack up and we go there. 341 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 1: Tell us about the one in Miami. What's that called? 342 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,159 Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, it's so fun, mister Miami and me 343 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,119 Speaker 3: And it's on a single dad raising a girl, a 344 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 3: little girl by himself, and so, you know, we wreck. 345 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 3: While we love traditional American values, it's not it's not 346 00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:02,120 Speaker 3: like that. Not everybody has a mom and a dad, 347 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:03,960 Speaker 3: and so we felt it was important to tell the 348 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,400 Speaker 3: story of a divorced dad, being a great girl dad, 349 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 3: and that you know, he could be a role model 350 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,680 Speaker 3: maybe to dads that could potentially be struggling. How am 351 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:12,919 Speaker 3: I going to be a girl dad and do our 352 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,120 Speaker 3: hair and all of these things. The cool thing about 353 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,440 Speaker 3: it is he's also a top injector in the country, 354 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 3: and so he's managing fatherhood, this thriving business that he's 355 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 3: currently scaling in Miami. He lives in a health apartment. 356 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,480 Speaker 3: So it's it's all the things. It's family, it's Miami, 357 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 3: it's girl dad life. It's a really really fun show. 358 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,879 Speaker 1: So tell us, would you do a show about a 359 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 1: New York Man a father for a grandfather of for 360 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:48,680 Speaker 1: fighting the communists behind enemy lines? Yeah? Well absolutely, Okay, 361 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: So tell us about any opposition. Critics are critics reviewing 362 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 1: what you're putting out? Have you faced any opposition or 363 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: or any challenges? 364 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 3: Well, I guess we're starting to hit the wrong side 365 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 3: of social media because the trolls have found us. We've 366 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:12,119 Speaker 3: been called fascists, we've been called you know, you name it. 367 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 3: And at first I was a little upset, and now 368 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 3: we're saying, you know what, if they're coming after us, 369 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:21,159 Speaker 3: that means we're actually onto something and we welcome it. 370 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 3: I mean, First Amendment, all the way you want to 371 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:24,400 Speaker 3: call me what you want to call me, that doesn't 372 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 3: mean it's true. And so we're here. We're here to stay. 373 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,920 Speaker 3: And I guess we could be called worst thing, right. 374 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 1: Well, I'm usually reserved, like in the movies. I love movies. 375 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: I think the seventies had the best movie, the French Connection, 376 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 1: Rocky Jaws, all those. But you know, I saw one 377 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: battle after another. I lasted thirty minutes with DiCaprio and 378 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,640 Speaker 1: it was such a left wing piece of garbage, portraying 379 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 1: all the Ice and Border agents as white men, military 380 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 1: men racist. Meanwhile, sixty percent of the border patrol that 381 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,639 Speaker 1: I've interacted with, the women and Hispanics, and you know, 382 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 1: the whole thing was just a And I walked out 383 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,399 Speaker 1: in thirty minutes and I had to say something. I 384 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,920 Speaker 1: was like, this is Hollywood garbage. And I walked out 385 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,399 Speaker 1: and somebody called me a Nazi in the audience, and 386 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,920 Speaker 1: you know, I couldn't take it. I'm so tired of 387 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 1: going to the movies and being subjected to this. This 388 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,399 Speaker 1: has got to have like changing the architecture in a 389 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: young people's brains. That's what I'm getting at, right, How 390 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: did they don't even have a chance out of the gate. 391 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 3: So we sort of noticing that when I, you know, 392 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 3: first became a stay at home mom for a little while. 393 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,199 Speaker 3: We noticed our kids, you know, we have values, we 394 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 3: go to church, we teach them right. They were hunting 395 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,200 Speaker 3: over and they were talking back, and they were being 396 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 3: disrespectful to us. And I finally found myself in front 397 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 3: of the TV with them one day and I was like, oh, 398 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,439 Speaker 3: this is it. They're emulating the characters on a major 399 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 3: streaming platform live action series, and so we promptly canceled 400 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 3: that streaming platform. This was really the foundation for me 401 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 3: the studios. It kind of festered in my brain for 402 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:57,440 Speaker 3: about ten years. And our kids. We had our kids 403 00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,239 Speaker 3: back with and week. It was almost like they went 404 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,959 Speaker 3: through this decomp Russian moment. And so I measure that 405 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 3: against ten years later, I'm bigger, My kids are bigger. 406 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 3: TV is worse, entertainment is horrible, and we're pentagrams in 407 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 3: the background. We're seeing Pride flags in the background, and 408 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 3: you know, all that wasn't everything I worked in Hollywood. 409 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 3: It's completely by design. And their favorite one. They want 410 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 3: to normalize the behavior and make it comfortable for our kills, 411 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 3: and we're fighting back against that. I mean, that's really 412 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 3: our at Studios. 413 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,200 Speaker 1: If you turn on like peacock, all these reality shows 414 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 1: are so awful, and our kids are watching this. You know, 415 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 1: they're watching all this stuff. The parents have it in 416 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,879 Speaker 1: the house and the dating shows. I mean, and not 417 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: only are the people really stupid and uninformed in the shows, 418 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 1: but they have no center of gravity there there, It's 419 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:51,920 Speaker 1: just you know, the content is beyond It's very frustrating. 420 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm venting to you because I'm so sick 421 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,680 Speaker 1: of it.

The 474 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 1: big beautiful Bill took like six months to put together, 475 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,119 Speaker 1: and they were behind on the appropriations stuff in Congress, 476 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 1: and the Republicans were only asking until like November twenty 477 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:09,120 Speaker 1: first to get this all together. And you know, these 478 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,880 Speaker 1: crs that Democrats have voted for in the past. This 479 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: is all a setup. This is all crazy. And by 480 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:19,879 Speaker 1: the way, I was watching Mamdannie, who's probably going to 481 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 1: be the next mayor of New York talk about this 482 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:27,120 Speaker 1: incredible killer. There's an animal in New York City who 483 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 1: stabbed somebody, who got out a few hours later, and 484 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 1: then stabbed somebody again, I think maybe the next day, 485 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,639 Speaker 1: if not the same day. And they asked him, you know, 486 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,159 Speaker 1: what he would do about it, because you know, he 487 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,919 Speaker 1: really doesn't believe in the police. And his answer was 488 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 1: so heinous. Oh, we're going to have like these intervention 489 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,479 Speaker 1: programs for mental health and all this gobbly book instead 490 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 1: of like sending the guy to like on an ice barge, 491 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 1: you know, in the Arctic Circle or something. You know, 492 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 1: this guy should have never been out on the streets 493 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: of New York And thousands of families have suffered, and 494 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 1: sixty one New Yorkers have been assaulted in the streets 495 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: in New York. So far this year between felony misdemeanor assaults, 496 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,680 Speaker 1: rape is up nineteen percent New York City. And this 497 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,119 Speaker 1: guy is only going to compound it because he's going 498 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,160 Speaker 1: to double down. And I'm just waiting for the next 499 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 1: mural he's going to paint in front of Trump Tower 500 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 1: when he's the mayor.

Thank you for joining us. Pleasure to 505 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 1: be with you as always. Yes, you know you really 506 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,919 Speaker 1: got to handle on things you always have and you 507 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 1: know you're one of my favorites out there for really 508 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 1: putting assessing what's going on out there in the world. 509 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 1: Can you talk about the deal Phase one that was 510 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:55,680 Speaker 1: put into effect the other day and then two days 511 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:59,680 Speaker 1: later Hamas is shooting Palestinians in the street in Gaza. 512 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:00,680 Speaker 1: What's going on? 513 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:08,199 Speaker 6: Well, everything that's going on is predictable. When we people 514 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 6: in the West, like America, Israel sign deals with people 515 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 6: from the Middle East, we think we're held by that contract, 516 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,400 Speaker 6: but the bad guys don't think they're held by the contract. 517 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:28,440 Speaker 6: So as soon the only thing that they delivered was 518 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:32,720 Speaker 6: the twenty healthy not healthy. But let's say the twenty 519 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 6: living hostages. Now Israel and America are begging for the 520 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 6: twenty eight deceased hostages that they were supposed to deliver. 521 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 6: Now they're slow walking them, and they're purposely slow walking 522 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 6: them because they don't want to go to Phase two. 523 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 6: In Phase two, they're supposed to be disarmed and leave deported. Well, 524 00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 6: they have no intentions of being disarmed and they have 525 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 6: no intention of being deported. So now they're showing their 526 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:08,400 Speaker 6: typical colors. They're killing any opposition they have in Gaza. 527 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:12,360 Speaker 6: So finally there is a genocide in Gaza. But Hamas 528 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 6: is leading the genocide, just as they did on October 529 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:16,679 Speaker 6: seventh against Israel. 530 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, and if they would have gave the hostages back 531 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,199 Speaker 1: two years ago, Israel never would have went into Gaza. 532 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,440 Speaker 1: So you know, I want to talk about the tunnel 533 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:29,880 Speaker 1: systems because they have not been destroyed by the Israeli 534 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:31,679 Speaker 1: forces the way they wanted to. 535 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 6: Right, Well, I hear different numbers. But let's say that 536 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 6: Israel destroyed half of the tunnel system. And I'm told 537 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 6: that the tunnel system is similar to the London Subway 538 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 6: or perhaps even the New York Subway. So we're talking 539 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 6: about huge tunnel systems here, and let's say Israel destroyed 540 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 6: half of it, so someone has to destroy the other half, 541 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 6: you would think, And that was also left vague as 542 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 6: to who had the responsibility for destroying the tunnels. It's 543 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 6: supposed to be some international peacekeeping organization. No one's ever 544 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 6: met an international peacekeeping. 545 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 1: Organization troops on the ground. Well, it's with all of 546 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 1: the above. 547 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 6: It could be Egypt, could be Turkeyari, Katar, study Arabia, 548 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 6: could be the Emirates. The only one I trust is 549 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 6: the Israel Defense forces. I mean, I trust America, but 550 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 6: America is not going to send It's the young men, 551 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 6: nineteen year old kids from Kansas looking for tunnels in Gaza. 552 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:42,720 Speaker 6: So to me, the logical one to fix the mess 553 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 6: is Israel. But in this deal, it's all the Arab 554 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 6: countries are supposed to fix the mess. 555 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 1: Do you think this ever could have happened without the 556 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 1: Abraham Accords under the first Trump administration. 557 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 6: Well, the Abraham Accords helps facilitate this because Israel has 558 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 6: some trust for the Emirates, has no trust for Star, 559 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 6: has no trust for Turkey, even though Israel has relations 560 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 6: with Turkey, yeah, and has some trust for Saudi Arabia, 561 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 6: has almost no trust for Egypt. So yeah, So the 562 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 6: Abraham McCord's facilitated in the sense that it made Israel 563 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,720 Speaker 6: feel comfortable with at least some of the parties to 564 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 6: this deal. 565 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 1: What about Turkey's ambitions in the theater, also going all 566 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 1: the way to Iran and you know, dealing with Salafis 567 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 1: and other groups. What's Turkey's endgame and want to restore 568 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 1: the caliphe. What's going on? 569 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 6: Well, everyone has nefarious instincts and desires. So the reason 570 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 6: why all the Moslim countries signed on to the deal 571 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 6: is they all signed on for different reasons. Egypt signed 572 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,360 Speaker 6: on because they want to take over gods Up, Turkey 573 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 6: signed on because they want to take over Gaza. Qatar 574 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 6: signed on because they want to take over Gaza. Suddi Arabian, 575 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:11,920 Speaker 6: the Emirates signed on because they want to take over Gaza. Meanwhile, 576 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:16,960 Speaker 6: by the way, nine hundred Israeli soldiers died to take 577 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:21,320 Speaker 6: over Gaza. Twelve hundred were killed with the Kamans genocide 578 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:26,960 Speaker 6: on October seventh, and the deal says they just give 579 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:31,239 Speaker 6: it to these Arab countries for free. So I'm not 580 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 6: very happy about the second part of the deal, except 581 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 6: the fact that President Trump says, I'm in charge of 582 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 6: face two, so I'm like the chairman of the board, 583 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 6: and I'll make sure that Fase two works out. So basically, 584 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 6: everyone trusted Trump, even though they don't trust each other. 585 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, I get that, and I'm sure that 586 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 1: he'll be watching that closely and if anybody pulls anything, 587 00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,120 Speaker 1: and if there's a large scale attack of any kind, 588 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 1: I'm sure all off right ken. 589 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 6: Well, my guests, given what President Jump said today that 590 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 6: I'm serious, I'm not joking. I'm putting worth it as well. 591 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:17,200 Speaker 6: I'm not joking around. I want Comas the Gaza militarized. 592 00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 6: I want Kamas to lay down their weapons. 593 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:21,160 Speaker 1: Uh. 594 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 6: Well, someone's got to enforce that, and I don't see 595 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 6: American soldiers boots on the ground enforcing it, but Israel 596 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 6: knows how to do it. And I hope and guests 597 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 6: that in about two to four weeks, President Trump will 598 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 6: run out of patients, will come as and authorize Israel 599 00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 6: to clink, clean up Kamas, all right and eliminate this 600 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:47,480 Speaker 6: death cult once and for all. 601 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 1: Can we have about twenty seconds?

Here's so many topics. I want to 674 00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:19,600 Speaker 1: start with the markets. Gold at like almost forty two 675 00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:24,880 Speaker 1: hundred dollars the other day, you know, oil dropping, but 676 00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:30,879 Speaker 1: the dow it's pretty high. What's your forecast for what's 677 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:31,560 Speaker 1: going on here? 678 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:36,200 Speaker 4: The gold part scares me. Let's never forget that gold 679 00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:40,200 Speaker 4: is a known It's known as wealth the world over, 680 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:44,040 Speaker 4: and so when you buy it, you're not discovering anything 681 00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:48,360 Speaker 4: you knew it's already there. Gold doesn't so much go 682 00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:50,839 Speaker 4: up as the value of the dollar in which it's 683 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:54,319 Speaker 4: measured goes down. And so to me, this is a 684 00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:59,520 Speaker 4: dangerous signal that signals less investment flowing into new ideas, 685 00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:03,600 Speaker 4: OX and bonds, representing the creation of future wealth and 686 00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:07,920 Speaker 4: instead people essentially protecting their wealth in a coffee can. 687 00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,400 Speaker 4: A coffee can that goes up in value if the 688 00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:14,680 Speaker 4: value of the dollar declines. And so to the extent 689 00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:17,600 Speaker 4: that I know people close to President Trump or near 690 00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:22,040 Speaker 4: the administration, I always tell him no president has ever 691 00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:27,520 Speaker 4: succeeded in the way he should with a declining dollar. 692 00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,840 Speaker 4: It SAPs the very investment that drives economic growth. 693 00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:35,440 Speaker 1: Right, But people are buying gold because they feel safer 694 00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:39,560 Speaker 1: to be prepared, right, And it could go up. It 695 00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:41,879 Speaker 1: could go up to forty five hundred five thousand, right, 696 00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,200 Speaker 1: it could keep going up. It could. 697 00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:47,799 Speaker 4: But what a dangerous signal, because if you buy gold again, 698 00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:53,080 Speaker 4: you're just buying a protection, wealth protection. If you buy stocks, 699 00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:57,359 Speaker 4: if you invest in someone you are creating, you are 700 00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:01,160 Speaker 4: buying shares in the creation of new wealth. And so 701 00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:04,720 Speaker 4: if you look throughout the you know, we until nineteen 702 00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,319 Speaker 4: seventy one, the dollar was defined in terms of a 703 00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 4: fixed amount of gold, and so this was never a problem. 704 00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:13,920 Speaker 4: But gold skyrocketed in the nineteen seventies. It's no surprise 705 00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,760 Speaker 4: that was a slow growth a decade for economic growth. 706 00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,759 Speaker 4: It's skyrocketed in the two thousands and Similarly, we had 707 00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:26,160 Speaker 4: a huge decline in IPOs and stock market vitality. This 708 00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:28,680 Speaker 4: is a dangerous This is a dangerous direction to be 709 00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:32,080 Speaker 4: going when when confidence in the dollar is declining, that's 710 00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:33,840 Speaker 4: bad not just for the US, but it's bad for 711 00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:36,280 Speaker 4: the world because the dollar is the world's currency. 712 00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,959 Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I think people should have a diversified portfolio too. 713 00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:44,680 Speaker 1: But I understand what you're saying here fed printing money, right, 714 00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,880 Speaker 1: you know, tell us what's going on out there in 715 00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,880 Speaker 1: the marketplace. I'm a builder from New York, commercial broker 716 00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:55,239 Speaker 1: for thirty eight years. You know, I see a lot 717 00:39:55,280 --> 00:40:01,080 Speaker 1: of people struggling in business, subcontractors. Building costs are forty 718 00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:05,080 Speaker 1: percent tyres are temporarily hurting a lot of guys in building, 719 00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,520 Speaker 1: but I think that'll adjust at some point. What's your outlook? 720 00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,799 Speaker 4: Well, you bring up a crucial point about this and 721 00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:17,920 Speaker 4: about the importance of a strong, stable dollar. What goes 722 00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,680 Speaker 4: into the creation of a building is remarkable. You know 723 00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,719 Speaker 4: this much better than I do. But one of the 724 00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:27,960 Speaker 4: books I wrote featured the people who build tall buildings 725 00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,680 Speaker 4: and the enormous amount of global know how and global 726 00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:34,879 Speaker 4: inputs that go into it. Well, so if we're devaluing 727 00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:38,600 Speaker 4: the dollar, We're raising the cost of all sorts of 728 00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,840 Speaker 4: global inputs that go into the creation of a building, 729 00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:45,160 Speaker 4: and so it makes all of this more expensive. It 730 00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:48,520 Speaker 4: raises the cost, and so I can't say I'm totally 731 00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:52,920 Speaker 4: surprised by what you're reporting. If we had a stronger 732 00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:56,080 Speaker 4: and more certain dollar, it strikes me that the cost 733 00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:59,960 Speaker 4: of building the future would be quite a bit lower. 734 00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:03,120 Speaker 1: Now, borrowing money at six and seven percent for our 735 00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:07,360 Speaker 1: business doesn't work. If they drop another hundred basis points, 736 00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:10,840 Speaker 1: you know, within a few months by the spring, I 737 00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:14,400 Speaker 1: don't think that's enough personally. But if they do, do 738 00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,520 Speaker 1: you think that and all the manufacturing that Trump has 739 00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:21,480 Speaker 1: going on, people recommitting back to America, other companies expanding, 740 00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:26,280 Speaker 1: do you think between the manufacturing, say boom, the energy 741 00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:30,440 Speaker 1: type boom in all categories, do you think that's going 742 00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:33,040 Speaker 1: to help? I think the economy is going to take 743 00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:34,560 Speaker 1: off next spring. What do you think? 744 00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:36,160 Speaker 6: Well? 745 00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:39,560 Speaker 4: I think is what about the US economy is that 746 00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:43,280 Speaker 4: it's always growing. All we know in the US is progress. 747 00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:46,480 Speaker 4: Even the nineteen thirties, if you look back to it 748 00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:49,279 Speaker 4: was a very productive decade. For any other country, it 749 00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:53,120 Speaker 4: would have been viewed as a boom. America is populated 750 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:57,080 Speaker 4: by the most innovative, ambitious, and enterprising people on Earth, 751 00:41:57,120 --> 00:42:00,719 Speaker 4: and you're going to get a lot of growth there where. 752 00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:03,760 Speaker 4: I'm skeptical that the FED fiddling around with the rates 753 00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:06,640 Speaker 4: is going to change anything. Is ultimately interest rates are 754 00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:08,839 Speaker 4: set in the marketplace, and that's what we want. If 755 00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:12,200 Speaker 4: central planning worked, we'd go back to the twentieth century. 756 00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:15,000 Speaker 4: But we know it was an abject failure, and so 757 00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:19,080 Speaker 4: it wouldn't surprise me if the FED continued to reduce 758 00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:23,279 Speaker 4: rates but actual market rates stayed high, stayed where they are, 759 00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:28,160 Speaker 4: or went higher to reflect uncertainty, including uncertainty about the dollary. 760 00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:30,600 Speaker 4: You just can't trample on the message of the market. 761 00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:32,399 Speaker 4: The market's going to speak no matter what. 762 00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:37,440 Speaker 1: Right. So there's three schools basically right, the left claims 763 00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:41,160 Speaker 1: you tax people more, which I don't think is the answer, 764 00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:43,720 Speaker 1: because you know, the top ten percent pay like ninety 765 00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:47,520 Speaker 1: percent of the taxes as it is. And people on 766 00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:51,520 Speaker 1: the right, you know, want spending cuts increase tax revenue 767 00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:56,759 Speaker 1: to the treasury. And then this supply siders right, tell 768 00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:59,880 Speaker 1: us you know what's the ultimate combination of any of 769 00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:01,480 Speaker 1: those to make the economy. 770 00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:05,680 Speaker 4: Hum, I think you hit on the most crucial point 771 00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:08,880 Speaker 4: that I think left and right miss, including supply siders. 772 00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:13,279 Speaker 4: The rich drive all growth, and as you point out, 773 00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:16,759 Speaker 4: they pay the vast majority, they account for the vast 774 00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:20,840 Speaker 4: majority of federal revenues. If you give me a tax cut, 775 00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:22,759 Speaker 4: I'm not a rich man, and so if you give 776 00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:25,680 Speaker 4: me a tax cut, I want it, but I've got 777 00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:29,319 Speaker 4: bills to pay. If you give Jeff Bezos a tax 778 00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:33,439 Speaker 4: cutter Steven Schwarzman, or Donald Trump a tax cut, they've 779 00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:36,320 Speaker 4: already got all the houses they want, they've got the planes. 780 00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:39,680 Speaker 4: All they can do with money not taken from them 781 00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:44,360 Speaker 4: by government is invested. Investment is what drives economic growth. 782 00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:48,799 Speaker 4: And I wish the Republicans would for once stick to 783 00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:52,080 Speaker 4: this message. The media say about them every time, no 784 00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:54,520 Speaker 4: matter what, that they're cutting taxes for the rich even 785 00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:58,560 Speaker 4: when they're not. So, how about a massive reduction in 786 00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:01,480 Speaker 4: what we take from the rich, because that's the surest 787 00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:04,640 Speaker 4: way to drive growth, simply because the rich will invest 788 00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:07,799 Speaker 4: it in ways that the typical American will not and 789 00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:09,000 Speaker 4: also cannot. 790 00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:14,520 Speaker 1: Right, So, what do you mean when you say that 791 00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:19,320 Speaker 1: government debt is a logical and perilous effect of market 792 00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:24,080 Speaker 1: optimism when it comes to like raising tax revenues and 793 00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:28,480 Speaker 1: the expectation of exponentially more tax revenue coming, and what 794 00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:29,239 Speaker 1: does that all mean? 795 00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:32,680 Speaker 4: To be clear, that's not me saying that I like 796 00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:35,920 Speaker 4: government debt. I think government spending is the biggest tax 797 00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:40,080 Speaker 4: of all. But think about you at your age now 798 00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:44,040 Speaker 4: relative to when you're twenty one. Can you borrow more 799 00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:47,440 Speaker 4: now or when you were twenty one? You don't have 800 00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:49,480 Speaker 4: to answer, because I know you can borrow more now 801 00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:53,320 Speaker 4: because you've got decades worth of income, You've got wealth 802 00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:56,680 Speaker 4: that you probably didn't have when you're twenty one. That's 803 00:44:56,719 --> 00:45:00,000 Speaker 4: true for individuals, that's true for businesses twenty five years ago. 804 00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:03,560 Speaker 4: And Nvidia couldn't borrow a dollar today, it can borrow 805 00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:07,520 Speaker 4: billions of dollars. Why, Because the market's trust is future 806 00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:09,919 Speaker 4: revenues that they are going to go up, up, up up. 807 00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:15,600 Speaker 4: Government is no different Precisely, because the US Treasury has 808 00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:19,720 Speaker 4: taxable access to the most productive people on earth, the richest, 809 00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:24,560 Speaker 4: most enterprising people on earth, it can borrow any enormous amounts. 810 00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:28,239 Speaker 4: And it can because government revenues go up, and then 811 00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:31,160 Speaker 4: then they keep going up. And so I'm making the 812 00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:34,120 Speaker 4: case in the deficit delusion that if we really want 813 00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:38,600 Speaker 4: to reduce the debt, we must reduce the taxation of 814 00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:42,400 Speaker 4: the rich so substantially that what they pay to the 815 00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:47,520 Speaker 4: government goes down substantially and revenues decline. Only then will 816 00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:49,799 Speaker 4: people say, hey, wait a second, the US means what 817 00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:52,800 Speaker 4: it says. It does not it wants to reduce taxes 818 00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:55,480 Speaker 4: on the rich. So the US is no longer a 819 00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:57,840 Speaker 4: good loan like it used to be. Now it's a 820 00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:00,959 Speaker 4: great loan. Jeff Bezos is overtax, SOO is Elon Musk. 821 00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:02,880 Speaker 4: So's Donald Trump go down the list. 822 00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:08,560 Speaker 1: I don't think that our money, you know, keeps up, 823 00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:09,760 Speaker 1: you know, with inflation. 824 00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:10,360 Speaker 3: You know. 825 00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:12,399 Speaker 1: I use the pizza index as a laugh of curve. 826 00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:14,799 Speaker 1: Then there's the Dave Zier pizza index. You know, when 827 00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:16,400 Speaker 1: I was a kid, it was fifty cents for a 828 00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:19,080 Speaker 1: slice of pizza, and now it's three seventy five. You know. 829 00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:22,560 Speaker 1: So does that mean since nineteen seventy five that money 830 00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:25,640 Speaker 1: money is seven times less valuable? 831 00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:31,600 Speaker 4: Yes, but it probably hides how much less valuable money is. 832 00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:35,440 Speaker 4: Let's never forget what is capitalism or the profit motive, 833 00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:38,160 Speaker 4: but the process whereby we produce more and more goods 834 00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:41,560 Speaker 4: and services at lower and lower prices. The first laser 835 00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:44,400 Speaker 4: printer costs seventeen thousand. Now you can get one for 836 00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:49,520 Speaker 4: one hundred dollars.
