1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,760 Speaker 1: I thank Scott Canon, Hour two Sean Hannity Show, tot Free. 2 00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:05,840 Speaker 1: It is eight hundred and nine to four one Sean. 3 00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:07,400 Speaker 1: If you want to be a part of the program, 4 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 1: if you look at you know, thirty forty thousand feet down, 5 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 1: and I would tell you that we are where we 6 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 1: are as a country six months into Donald Trump's presidency, 7 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 1: and you think back a year ago or just now, 8 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,040 Speaker 1: a little over a year ago, and Butler had just 9 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: happened one millimeter away from assassinating candidate at the time, 10 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 1: former President Trump at the time, now President Trump, and 11 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:38,519 Speaker 1: look at what has happened, and it is it is 12 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 1: pretty spectacular in terms of what's changed. I watched the 13 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: President today, you know, given a press conference on every 14 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,960 Speaker 1: topic imaginable, and he's not looking at notes, and he 15 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,840 Speaker 1: didn't have prepared questions, and he wasn't briefed ahead of time, 16 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 1: and on by every measure, we are so much better 17 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: off than we were just a year ago. And this 18 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 1: victory was so consequential and transformational, and I think it's 19 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,320 Speaker 1: only going to get better. I hope it only gets better. 20 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 1: I don't care whether you like Donald Trump or not. 21 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:16,119 Speaker 1: There's no disputing the border secure there's no disputing that 22 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:20,559 Speaker 1: we're deporting all these criminal illegal immigrants. There's no disputing 23 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 1: that we've gotten inflation now under control. There's no disputing 24 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,559 Speaker 1: that we have the largest tax cut now signed into 25 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,119 Speaker 1: law in the history of the country. There's no disputing 26 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: that working men and women benefit the most from this 27 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: no tax on tips and over time, and the older 28 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: Americans also in terms of social security and preserving Medicare 29 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: and Medicaid, and we're putting in work requirements. There is 30 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: no disputing that the world is a safer place. With 31 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: the Iranians not months away from having nuclear weapons which 32 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: they've been threatening to use against Israel in the United States, 33 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: I think that makes the world a safer place. And 34 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: in that period of time, I mean, it is incredible success. Anyway, 35 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: here with some historic perspective, five days will be the 36 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 1: six month mark of Donald Trump being back in office. 37 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: He's a historian at heart, he's a professor at heart. 38 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: But he was a former Speaker of the House, the 39 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: last person to balance the budget as Speaker, and mister Speaker, 40 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: you might be pleasantly surprised to hear. And it was 41 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: reported by The Washington Examiner yesterday that the month of 42 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 1: June was the first month the federal government has had 43 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,399 Speaker 1: a surplus in over twenty years. 44 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 2: Well, I think that the establishment is in a state 45 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 2: of shock because for the last three months, the economy 46 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 2: has been responding to President Trump's strategy, and of course 47 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 2: with the passage of the Big Beautiful Bill and the 48 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 2: work he's doing on tariffs, and the amount of money 49 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:04,119 Speaker 2: he's getting invested, as you're seeing again today in Pennsylvania 50 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 2: at the Artificial Intelligence Summit where they're announcing huge investments 51 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 2: they're going to transform large parts of the Pennsylvania economy. 52 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,239 Speaker 2: All these things are moving and it's one of the 53 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 2: things that Reagan taught us. So when you have an exciting, enthusiastic, 54 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 2: entrepreneurial environment, people come out of the woodwork. People decided 55 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 2: to take risks, they decided to invest, They decide they 56 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,359 Speaker 2: want to go out and be part of the future. 57 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 2: And Trump, in that sense, it's much more than a 58 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 2: straight mathematical equation. There's a psychology to growth, there's a 59 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 2: psychology to investment, and President Trump is now tapping into 60 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 2: that sense in a way that frankly, as much as 61 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 2: I've admired him, he has done I would say twenty 62 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 2: to thirty percent better in the first six months than 63 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 2: I thought he would. It's really been a remarkable. 64 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 3: Run, you know. And look, you're the historian. I'm not. 65 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: An amateur historian. Love to read history, but this has 66 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: been your life's work. And I can't think in the 67 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: modern era, at least maybe maybe one comparison could be 68 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:17,559 Speaker 1: I don't know, Roosevelt World War two and coming into 69 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: office and dealing with you know, economic problems that were 70 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: you know, unprecedented at the time. 71 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 3: But I can't think of and and you know. 72 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: The whole New Deal aspect of his agenda, even though 73 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 1: I don't think it was necessarily all good. But I 74 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,479 Speaker 1: can't think of a more transformational or consequential six months 75 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 1: than these six months. And I don't think people are 76 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,799 Speaker 1: getting the big picture of view of of how deep 77 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: and profound these changes are. 78 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 2: Look, I just start with the border, and you look 79 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 2: at the number coming across one year ago, and how 80 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 2: dramatically the border has been tightened up. That by itself 81 00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 2: would be historic. You look at this the skyrocket revenue 82 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 2: out of tariffs, which nobody fully projected, that would be historic. 83 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 2: You look at the scale of an announced public investment 84 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,160 Speaker 2: in the trillions of dollars for new factories, for new 85 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:18,720 Speaker 2: artificial intelligence projects, etc. That would be historic. You look 86 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 2: at the amount of change going on at the Department 87 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 2: of Education, you look at the changes in the big 88 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 2: beautiful Bill. All of these things, I mean, any one 89 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,280 Speaker 2: of them would be big when you add all of 90 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 2: them together. Along with the work he's been doing in 91 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 2: the Middle East, the steps he took in Iran, the 92 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 2: actions he's now taking with Russia, He's clearly making an 93 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 2: impact beyond anybody. The only one close to it with 94 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 2: the Franklin Roosevelt in the nineteen thirties. Nobody else in 95 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 2: the modern era comes close to Trump for for sheer 96 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 2: impact and have been being a president of enormous consequence. 97 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 1: You know, what I think identifies him as unique and 98 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:04,280 Speaker 1: special is that most presidents are very calculated in terms 99 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: of moves that he make, but they make and you know, 100 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 1: every single one of the things that we discussed when 101 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 1: it relates to Donald Trump, be it taking out Iran's 102 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: nukes or taking now new action against Vladimir Putin after 103 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 1: desperately trying to get him to get to the table 104 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: and get to a ceasefire, and hopefully end the war 105 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: in Europe. Okay, now he's got to go to the 106 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: next step. He gave Iran sixty days. On the sixty 107 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,720 Speaker 1: first day, Israel just started wiping them out, and then 108 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: of course we finished the job taking out their nuclear sites. 109 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: I don't care if it's building the wall, ending illegal immigration, 110 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: the massive deportations of very dangerous criminals that Biden, Harris 111 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 1: may Orcus allowed into the country. His policies on energy, 112 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: I believe will refuge dividends down the road. It is 113 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 1: the lifeblood of the world's economy. I think what he's 114 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: been able to accomplish with tariffs and trade deals that 115 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: he's been putting together is a precedented as well. It's 116 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: resulted in ten trillion dollars in committed moneies and manufacturing 117 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 1: over the next four years, and manufacturing in very key industries. 118 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: That would be automobile manufacturing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, semiconductor chip manufacturing, 119 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: but also rare earth metals and magnets and things that 120 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: we've been far too dependent on other countries for all 121 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: of that. And the biggest tax cut in history I 122 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: think lays the foundation, but perhaps the greatest era of 123 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: economic growth we have ever seen. I don't know why 124 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: even some conservatives don't seem to understand that when you 125 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: cut taxes, you do stimulate the economy, you do end 126 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 1: up with more money in government coffers. It's the exact 127 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: inverse thought pattern that the left has. But some conservatives, 128 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: you know, they seem skeptical of it. 129 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 2: Oh you know, look, I think that there is a 130 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 2: dynamic that This was a fight I was involved in 131 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 2: starting in the nineteen seventies with Barry Kudlow and Art 132 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 2: Laffer Jack kemp All arguing that there's a dynamic kind 133 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 2: of economics that changes everything. It became called supply side, 134 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 2: but it basically meant you encourage people to invent, You 135 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 2: encourage people to produce, You encourage people to create, and 136 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 2: they mop up the inflation by the sheer flow of 137 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 2: goods and services so that you no longer have a 138 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 2: problem of inflation. The loss always believed in a very 139 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 2: static model where nothing changes and the only way you 140 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 2: can stop inflation is caused massive pain on the American people. 141 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 2: I mean, if you watch Mondami, for example, who's going 142 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 2: to be one of the great educational experiences in American politics. 143 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,319 Speaker 2: He says, I don't believe in billionaires. Well that's fine, 144 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,719 Speaker 2: except he says, here are all the free things I'm 145 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 2: going to do by raising taxes on billionaires. And nobody 146 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 2: seems to have told him they can leave. 147 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 3: You know, they're not listen. 148 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,079 Speaker 1: I'm one of the people that left, So I'm very 149 00:08:58,080 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 1: aware that you have the choice to leave. 150 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 2: That's right, and so what you have on the left. 151 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 2: And unfortunately, some conservatives buy into this sort of polaroid 152 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 2: snapshot model. They don't understand that life occurs as a video. 153 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 2: It's a dynamic. It evolves, and sometimes you can start 154 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 2: small and grow very, very big. You go back and 155 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:24,839 Speaker 2: look at the original Jeff Bezos Amazon store in Washington State, 156 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 2: and then look at the scale of Amazon today, Or 157 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 2: go back and look at Henry Ford's very first car, 158 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 2: which was in eighteen ninety nine, and then look at 159 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 2: the scale of the modern automobile industry. And people don't 160 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 2: realize that there's a dynamic here. And with Trump, as 161 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 2: a businessman who had been very successful, had learned you 162 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 2: ride the wave of enthusiasm, you ride the wave of vision. 163 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,439 Speaker 2: You create an idea of a better future, You recruit 164 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:57,079 Speaker 2: people of that better future, and suddenly everything gets begins 165 00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 2: to rock and roll and people just do better. And 166 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 2: I think you'll find by my prediction is we can 167 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 2: come back and visit this in a year that by 168 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,599 Speaker 2: the summer of twenty twenty six we will be in 169 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 2: a Trump boom and people will be seeing levels of investment, 170 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 2: levels of creativity, levels of new potions. And by the way, 171 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 2: it'll be a major step towards balancing the federal budget, 172 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 2: both because the economic growth will increase revenue, but also 173 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 2: because all of these new technologies are going to make 174 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 2: government much much less expensive. 175 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: All right, quick break more with former Speaker of the 176 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: House Newkingridge, and we'll get to your calls coming up 177 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,079 Speaker 1: eight hundred and nine to four one Sean, if you 178 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: want to be a part of the program as we continue. 179 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 1: Continue now, Former Speaker of the House New King Rich 180 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: is with us five days away from the six month 181 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: mark of Donald Trump's presidency. You kind of made history 182 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,319 Speaker 1: because you were able at a point when Bill Clinton 183 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: was at his weakest, caused him to at least have 184 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,839 Speaker 1: some course correction. There was some introspection there, and there 185 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: was an understanding that but if he continued down the 186 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: path he was headed that he would be a one 187 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: term president after Hillary Care died, and he was smart 188 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: enough to partner with you and then together when he 189 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 1: said the era of big government is over, the end 190 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 1: of welfare as we know it. I mean, he sounds 191 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 1: like a Trump Conservative today. The party does not represent 192 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: anything that Bill Clinton represented. Now what do you make 193 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 1: of this? How the radicals have taken over? I mean, 194 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 1: Hakeem Jeffries is going to meet with Mamdani, and I'm 195 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: not sure what the purpose of the meeting is, but 196 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: the leadership of the Democratic Party is scared to death 197 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 1: of the squad AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Mamdanni, Bernie Sanders, and Pocahontas. 198 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,680 Speaker 1: They seem to dominate that party, and the leadership is 199 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 1: powerless and unwilling to take them on. 200 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 2: I'll be very surprised if both Kim Jeffries and Schumer 201 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 2: don't both endorse Mandami. He won the Democratic primary. He 202 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 2: is the nominee of the party. And look, I just 203 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,559 Speaker 2: did a piece for the New York Sun just talking 204 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 2: about this, And I'll tell you what had made All 205 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:07,959 Speaker 2: the years you and have chatted it, it never quite 206 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 2: occurred to me. We keep talking about these highly educated 207 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 2: young people. They're not highly educated, they're brainwashed. When you 208 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 2: deal with kids who went to Harvard or Yale or 209 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 2: Princeton in the last ten or fifteen years, they didn't 210 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 2: get an education, they get brainwashed. They believe things that 211 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 2: aren't true. That's why Mondomini can basically you can summarize 212 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 2: Mondombie's campaign pledge, I will turn New York into Caracas. 213 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 2: I mean, that's the essence of what he's talking about. 214 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 2: He's going to destroy capitalists, don't drive out everybody who 215 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 2: has any kind of money, replace the private sex or 216 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 2: grocery stores of the government bureaucracy, offer everybody free goodies 217 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 2: that nobody's going to pay for, and somehow magically solve 218 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 2: the problem of rent control, which is just what created 219 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 2: by rent control. I mean, it's rent control itself which 220 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 2: is the problem. And yet that was the key to 221 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,839 Speaker 2: his campaign, was appealing to all of the young new 222 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 2: people who felt cheated because when they left college they 223 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 2: couldn't afford to buy anything because New York has become 224 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 2: absurdly expensive and Mondonmi will just make it worse. 225 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 3: Well, it's pretty amazing. 226 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,439 Speaker 1: I actually like the fact that the radicals have taken 227 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 1: over their party, because I think that increases the odds 228 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:22,679 Speaker 1: that history can be made in these midterm elections. If 229 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 1: the Democrats win in the midterms, we know what the 230 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 1: next two years would be like, and that would be 231 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: two years of never ending impeachment, NonStop obstruction, hearings and 232 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,319 Speaker 1: hearings upon hearings, and probably stop the Trump agenda dead 233 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 1: in its tracks. 234 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 3: Am I wrong? 235 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,839 Speaker 2: No? I think that's right. And I think that everybody 236 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:48,320 Speaker 2: who wants us to transform the country back into the 237 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 2: kind of dynamic, exciting, market oriented system that has made 238 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 2: us so great has to recognize that two twenty twenty 239 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 2: six is one of the key elections in American history 240 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 2: because it's very clear that the left has learned and 241 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,679 Speaker 2: I might not learn anything, but they're getting worse and 242 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 2: they're moving towards a Marxist socialist, hard left cultural value system. 243 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,679 Speaker 2: And the work we do at the America's New Majority 244 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 2: Polling Project, our guest is they represent about fifteen percent 245 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 2: of the country, but they have so much money from 246 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 2: people like Soros, They have the muscle of the teachers 247 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 2: Union and other big unions, and they're gradually taking over 248 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 2: their party to the enormous disadvantage of the country. And 249 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 2: I think ultimately the great disadvantage of the Democratic Party 250 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 2: is in the end, their programs just don't work. I mean, 251 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 2: their greatest problem is that they just don't work. 252 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, by the way, New Gingrich, we appreciate your time. 253 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 1: His new book is out. It's Trump's Triumph, America's greatest comeback. 254 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 1: It's on Amazon dot Comhannity dot com, and bookstores all 255 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: across the country. Mister speaker, you offer us insight that 256 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: nobody else really can. I appreciate and thank you as 257 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: always for being with us. Take you all right, twenty 258 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: five now till the top of the hour. Eight hundred 259 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 1: nine four one shown is a number if you want 260 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 1: to be a part of the program. Look, we see 261 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: how dire the situation has now been, I mean since frankly, 262 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: it's been going on for decades. The number of rockets 263 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands over the years. But all that Israel 264 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 1: has been through from October seventh on, it is tens 265 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 1: of thousands of Israelis have been displaced, and it is 266 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: a very fragile time, and Israeli neighborhoods have been destroyed. 267 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: Dozens of Israelis are dead, untold others are injured. The 268 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: need for humanitarian assistance is great. That means food, water, medicine, clothing, housing, 269 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: you name it. 270 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 3: They need it all. 271 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: And you know, the people of Israel have known nothing 272 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 1: but you know, never ending NonStop attacks against radical by 273 00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 1: radical Islamic terrorists. And not only do they need need 274 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 1: humanitarian assistants, they also need you know, they need bomb shelters. 275 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: I mean, this is their reality. Look at Tel Aviv 276 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: was pounded, and the few missiles that made it through 277 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: are more powerful than they've ever been. Two thousand pound 278 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: Iranian missiles that they're now trying to build four thousand 279 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 1: pound missiles, which can do an awful lot of damage 280 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 1: to an awful lot of people. And they are targeting 281 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 1: densely populated civilian areas anyway. Now, that's why the IFCJ 282 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 1: we have proudly partnered with them, the International Fellowship of 283 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: Christians and Jews. They're working around the clock and they 284 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 1: are providing that humanitarian assistance. They're also building you know, 285 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: hundreds of concrete reinforced bomb shelters, each of them ready 286 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 1: when the next rocket strike occurs, and it's pretty pretty 287 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: certain that will and anyway, they're now deploying sixty new 288 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: bomb shelters, ten immediate placements, fifty upgraded models with blast 289 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 1: resistant steel doors, and they just need our help in 290 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 1: their time of need. Whatever you can do, learn more 291 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,919 Speaker 1: about their life saving work, donate as generously as you 292 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:13,160 Speaker 1: can as they battle for their very survival. It's IFCJ 293 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 1: dot org. That's IFCJ dot org. 294 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 3: Today. 295 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 1: When I saw our old friend Gavin Newsom Linda in 296 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,199 Speaker 1: South Carolina, because he's been swearing up and down to 297 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: me when I interviewed him and debated, oh, no, I 298 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,439 Speaker 1: have no interest in running for president. When I was away, 299 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,159 Speaker 1: did you notice that he was in South Carolina? So, 300 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,479 Speaker 1: being the wise ass that I am, I texted him. 301 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 1: I said, I believe you're not running for president. I'm 302 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 1: sure you're just visiting South Carolina for the weather. And 303 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,359 Speaker 1: he gave me some snarky remark, which I'll keep private 304 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: because it was not on the record. Here's Gavin's problem. 305 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,359 Speaker 1: And I think, Gavin, you know that day that he 306 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,879 Speaker 1: slung his jacket over his shoulder and he walked in 307 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: the Oval office and Joe Biden wasn't there. In my mind, 308 00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:02,439 Speaker 1: I saw a guy that was picking out the drapes 309 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,679 Speaker 1: and thinks and believes and wants to believe that he's 310 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:08,120 Speaker 1: going to be president and bragging how blue cities are 311 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,400 Speaker 1: creating seventy one percent of the country's GDP. Not sure 312 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,120 Speaker 1: where he gets this information. I don't really even care. 313 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: I could just say if if the country goes the 314 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 1: route of New York and California, it will be an 315 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 1: unmitigated disaster of the highest taxes, sanctuary cities and states. 316 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 1: You know, But this is what Gavin is not factoring 317 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:37,440 Speaker 1: in every person in his sanctuary state of California, every victim, 318 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:42,199 Speaker 1: every person murdered, every person raped, every person that was 319 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 1: a victim of violent crime by these unvetted illegal immigrants 320 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:51,160 Speaker 1: that he offers sanctuary status to and free healthcare courtesy 321 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 1: of California taxpayers and frankly American taxpayers, And how it's 322 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,680 Speaker 1: inundated their school system. My free state of Florida number 323 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 1: one school system in the entire country, and California ranks 324 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 1: near the bottom. If you look at crime and you 325 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: look at quality of life issues, I mean, all of 326 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 1: these things are going to come up. The names of 327 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 1: all of these victims are fair game to ask, what 328 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 1: do you say to the family of fill in the blank. 329 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:24,199 Speaker 1: So there's an example of this. He was asked of 330 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,680 Speaker 1: an if eight year old should be able to have 331 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:31,239 Speaker 1: gender reassignment surgery. I mean I listened, I kind of 332 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 1: heard a little bit of Kamala Harrison a little bit 333 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 1: of a word salad in his answer. But this is 334 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,160 Speaker 1: the problem for every Democrat that's going to be running. 335 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,879 Speaker 1: They're going to have to defend the American public are 336 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 1: now fully aware of the damage that was done the 337 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 1: most preventable national security disaster and the damage done by 338 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,679 Speaker 1: Biden Harris, mayorcus unveted illegals. 339 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 3: Anyway, this is what he said. 340 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,920 Speaker 1: And then of course, Kamala Harris wants sex change operations 341 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 1: taxpayer funded for criminals, any illegal immigrants. Tampon, Tim wants, 342 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: you know, to put in grammar schools and boys' bathrooms 343 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,679 Speaker 1: feminine hygiene products. On top of that, he wants, you know, 344 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 1: taxpayer funded college education for illegals. And then you know, 345 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,679 Speaker 1: of course gender affirming care for kids without parental consent. 346 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 3: This is madness anyway. 347 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,120 Speaker 1: And Newsom has asked, you know whether or not eight 348 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,920 Speaker 1: year old should be able to have gender reassignment surgery. 349 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,719 Speaker 3: Let's listen to his answer. What about for your values? 350 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 3: I mean, is eight years old too young? 351 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 4: Yeah? 352 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 5: I mean, look now that I have a nine year 353 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 5: old just became nine.

Listen, I 403 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 4: wanted to I know people don't farewell with you when 404 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 4: they do this, but I want to pick on one 405 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,120 Speaker 4: thing about the big beautiful Bill. I did support his passage, 406 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 4: even with any flaws that I might consider it has. 407 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 4: That is in particular with respect to no tax on 408 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 4: tips and no tax on overtime. And the reason I 409 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:04,879 Speaker 4: say that is is that I mean, I've heard you 410 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:10,120 Speaker 4: say Democrats pick winners and losers and Republicans don't do that. Well, 411 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 4: that's exactly what we did here. We picked the waiter 412 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 4: over the chef. They may make the same amount of money, 413 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,479 Speaker 4: but the waiter gets ducked up to twenty five thousand 414 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:23,440 Speaker 4: dollars of his tips. 415 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:30,119 Speaker 1: The have you ever have you ever worked in a restaurant? Yes, sir, okay, 416 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,880 Speaker 1: so then you would be aware that if you mostly 417 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 1: get paid on tips, you know that you get paid 418 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,640 Speaker 1: a lower amount of money and even below the minimum 419 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 1: wage at least when I was working there, than hourly workers, 420 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: and that they factor in the tips are a big 421 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 1: part of your pay. 422 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:53,160 Speaker 4: Correct. That's exactly right, And it's the diamer you're looking 423 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 4: for is two dollars and thirteen cents an hour for 424 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 4: tipped employees. 425 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,119 Speaker 1: Okay, So if you don't, if you don't get a 426 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,119 Speaker 1: lot of tips on a given day, you're making a 427 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,360 Speaker 1: lot less than everybody else because they're still getting their 428 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 1: hourly rate, right, and the only reason you're going to 429 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 1: get a big tip, you know. And I'm kind of 430 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,679 Speaker 1: known for giving good tips because I always think of 431 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 1: my father, the waiter when I go to a restaurant, 432 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 1: and I always want to take care of people that 433 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:19,679 Speaker 1: are give good service. But you know that you know 434 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 1: they're not getting rich being a server in a restaurant, 435 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 1: and if you're working overtime. To me, that's the ultimate meritocracy. 436 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,200 Speaker 1: If you're willing to work, go the extra mile, work 437 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:33,120 Speaker 1: harder than other people, you know, and I think people 438 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 1: are over taxed to begin with. Why are we going 439 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 1: to tax people for working harder? I thought we wanted 440 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,439 Speaker 1: to reward that behavior. And then this is for working 441 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,399 Speaker 1: men and women. You know, it's not going to be executive. 442 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 1: It's a big you know, fortune five hundred companies that 443 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 1: are going to benefit from that. 444 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 4: Sean though, it is the floor supervisor, the shop supervisor 445 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 4: who's now salaried exempt, who works just as hard is 446 00:25:56,119 --> 00:26:00,199 Speaker 4: that hourly employee. It probably works maybe more hours. And 447 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 4: by the time you get factor in the overtime for 448 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 4: the factor worker, his pay may not be much less 449 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,159 Speaker 4: than the supervisors at that point, but he has it. 450 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 1: I think I think there's got to be adjustments with companies, 451 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 1: within companies. I mean, certainly you don't want people. I 452 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:19,160 Speaker 1: just like the idea of rewarding hard work. I don't 453 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,679 Speaker 1: think Americans are taxed too little. I think they're taxed 454 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 1: too much. The beauty of this is it incentivizes all 455 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 1: the right behavior in people, and that is for them 456 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 1: to get ahead. 457 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 3: And I like that part of it. I like that 458 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:36,439 Speaker 3: aspect of it. 459 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,719 Speaker 1: In terms of the nuanced issues that you're bringing up, 460 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 1: I can understand it, but I don't think it's government 461 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 1: doing anything except you know, you want to work extra hard. 462 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 1: You should be rewarded for your extra work. 463 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:54,440 Speaker 4: But you're okay, let's get go extra hard when you 464 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 4: sign up to be a layer. And if your employer says, okay, 465 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,360 Speaker 4: we're going to pay you the federal minimum wage, which 466 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,680 Speaker 4: is two dollars and thirteen cents, if he doesn't get 467 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 4: enough tips to get to the seven dollars and fifty 468 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 4: cent federal minimum wage or whatever the state minimum wage is, 469 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 4: sixteen fifty, seventeen fifty, whatever it happens to be, the 470 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 4: employer has to make that up so that he gets 471 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:19,199 Speaker 4: he doesn't he act. 472 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,400 Speaker 1: That's news to me because that was never the case 473 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,200 Speaker 1: when I'm when I was being paid that little. 474 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 3: Because I was being paid that little, it's it is. 475 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:30,119 Speaker 4: However, it's Fair Labor Standards Act, and it's as absolutely 476 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,679 Speaker 4: that way. So they so see they're there, Let's say 477 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:34,719 Speaker 4: they just get seventeen fifty an hour, and let's say 478 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 4: they're in California and the other guy's getting sent day 479 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 4: fifty an hour. 480 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: But you're kind of you're kind of accusing me of 481 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 1: taking the left's position, and I would argue with you 482 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,119 Speaker 1: that you're kind of taking the left's position that you want, 483 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: you know, total equality here. I think salary people that 484 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 1: maybe work eighty hours a week, if they agree to 485 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: that salary, then they've and. 486 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:56,359 Speaker 3: That's the agreement that they've made. 487 00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 1: I mean, and if they don't, if they want to 488 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,680 Speaker 1: make more money or advance themselves, than they can either 489 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,639 Speaker 1: negotiate a new deal with their company or look for 490 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,640 Speaker 1: other positions and and and move on. I mean, that's 491 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:10,959 Speaker 1: the beauty of freedom, isn't it. 492 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 4: Well, well, yeah, I mean I think they may be 493 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,120 Speaker 4: very happy with their salary, and the gay that's thinking 494 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,439 Speaker 4: in the overtime is very happy with his and they 495 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 4: end up making the same amount of money, but one 496 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 4: pays less in taxes. That's not a matter of I 497 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 4: want everything equal like some socialists. It's not want everything fair. 498 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 1: And that's I'm I'm but but kind of fairness is 499 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:32,639 Speaker 1: the argument of the left. 500 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,399 Speaker 3: To me, I think, what we want, what we want, 501 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 3: what we what we want, what we don't want. 502 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 1: What we want is people too to be incentivized to 503 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 1: work harder. We start with the premise that people are 504 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 1: over taxed, not under taxed. We start with the We 505 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 1: start with the premise that it's better for people to 506 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 1: work than to not work and to to be dependent 507 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 1: on government. We want to create independence, we want to 508 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 1: create savings for family. We want the American dream to 509 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 1: exist for everybody. And for most people, that means they're 510 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 1: gonna have to put in overtime. They're gonna have to 511 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 1: work more than forty hours a week, especially if you're 512 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 1: the breadwinner for your family. And I think this bill, 513 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 1: these provisions do just that. They incentivize people to work more. 514 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 1: And I think it's a great idea. 515 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 3: I like it. 516 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 1: I think it's thinking out of the box. I think 517 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 1: it's looking out for working men and women. They're the 518 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 1: people that really do make this country great. They never get, 519 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 1: you know, they never get the credit that they deserve. 520 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 1: You know, I've explained this to my kids. 521 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 4: And that's all true, Sean, But they're not. They're all 522 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 4: the chef is just as hard working as the waiter. 523 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 1: Again, I'm hearing what you're saying. But if the chef 524 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 1: isn't being paid what he thinks he's worth. There's a 525 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 1: million of the restaurants he can go work at and 526 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 1: get paid more money if he's really great at what 527 00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 1: he does. So you know, he has choices and freedom 528 00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 1: to But I will say this, and I teach my 529 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 1: kids this is that if you think about and I 530 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 1: said to my you know, my mission to my kids 531 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,959 Speaker 1: is they've got to participate in life and they got 532 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 1: to serve other people. And I don't care what you 533 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 1: do in terms of the service. I don't care if 534 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 1: you drive an uber. I don't care if you work 535 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,000 Speaker 1: at McDonald's. I don't care what you do. I like 536 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 1: the idea of taking care of working men and women 537 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 1: because they are the backbone of the country. You know, 538 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 1: I hear your argument. I'm just not as you're not 539 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 1: persuading me, but I hear it. I hear where you're 540 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 1: coming from, and I understand it. Anyway, I do appreciate 541 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 1: the call. I'm just out of time. I wish that's 542 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 1: something I think that it's important to talk about. All right, 543 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,960 Speaker 1: when we come back, we'll check in with our friend 544 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 1: James Comer of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. 545 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 1: We'll discuss with him the progress he is making investigating 546 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,920 Speaker 1: the issue of Joe Biden and the autopen issue, especially 547 00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 1: in light of the New York Times piece that says, well, 548 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 1: we'll just set up parameters and his staff ordered the 549 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 1: use of the autopen that would probably invalidate a lot 550 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,600 Speaker 1: of the clemencies and pardons that he put forth last minute. 551 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,920 Speaker 1: We'll ask James Comer about that, and also how the 552 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 1: door is now open for a special prosecutor looking into 553 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 1: the weaponization of the federal government going all the way 554 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 1: back to Russia. Russia all the way up to including 555 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 1: Hunter's laptop, the fifty one former Intel agents, the pony 556 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 1: valuation of mar A Lago, the double standard of justice 557 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 1: when it comes to top secret classified materials and the 558 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 1: rate at mar A Lago, and the double standard of 559 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,480 Speaker 1: justice there. We'll check in with James Comer on the 560 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 1: other side.
