1 00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:05,120 Speaker 1: The shutdown is coming to an end. Why did we 2 00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:07,800 Speaker 1: have one? Why did it end? We'll talk about that. 3 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,360 Speaker 1: We're going to wish a happy birthday to the United 4 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,960 Speaker 1: States Marines. All these economic proposals, all that more coming 5 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 1: up on our right. Okay, so the government shutdown is 6 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 1: wrapping up. No, it is not wrapped up yet, but 7 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,559 Speaker 1: it is wrapping up. Let me just explain before we 8 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 1: get into the whys of everything. The Senate's good to go, 9 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,840 Speaker 1: but the House isn't actually convened right now. The long 10 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 1: story short, it's going to take two or three days 11 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 1: for the shutdown to officially end. Now, maybe this shutdown 12 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: affected your life deeply. Maybe it didn't affect your life 13 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: at all. I know that they've been canceling fifteen hundred 14 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: flights across the country. Maybe you're in the military, TSA, 15 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: maybe it affected you. Ch answers are unless one of 16 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,680 Speaker 1: those things apply to you, travel, TSA types of things, 17 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 1: chances are it didn't really have a huge effect on 18 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,759 Speaker 1: your life. But it did affect a lot of people. Now, 19 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: why was there ever one to begin with? Because it's 20 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 1: kind of odd if you're going to just wash your 21 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,680 Speaker 1: hands up everything and take a thirty thousand foot view. 22 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: Why would you do this? Why would Democrats not just 23 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: vote for ACR, which they always vote for. Republicans always 24 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: vote for it, Democrats always vote for it, which sucks, 25 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: by the way, But this time, why do something different? Well, 26 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: it's important before we get to their language on the thing, 27 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: it's important to understand this concept that we've talked about before, 28 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,119 Speaker 1: over and over and over and over and over again. 29 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: I love to use doctor Frankenstein's monster as an example 30 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: because it is the perfect example for what has happened. 31 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: Democrat elites, Democrat politicians, people in the media. They understand 32 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: that the motivation level of their base is really important 33 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: for them. That's what gets you people marching in the streets, 34 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: that's what gets people writing checks to your campaign, knocking 35 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 1: on doors. You need the Democrat base motivated. And to 36 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,920 Speaker 1: motivate the Democrat base, you have to give them something 37 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: to rage against. Rage never really something for, but always against. 38 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 1: There always has to be some big devil that you're 39 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: fighting against. And for ten years, ten years that has 40 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:37,639 Speaker 1: been Donald Trump. Endless media stories and Donald Trump is 41 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: Donald Trump, that Nazi hitler, Nazi hitler, Nazi hitler, Nazi 42 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:45,239 Speaker 1: Hitler and Democrats across the country at every level, local level, 43 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: national level, have been able to run against Donald Trump 44 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: to motivate their base. Nothing motivates Democrats like Donald Trump. Hey, 45 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 1: some guy will be running for constable vote. Vote for 46 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 1: me and I'll stop Trump. But works motivates a Democrat base. 47 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: But like all things, that can be a negative to 48 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: that positive. After ten years of programming, and the Democrat 49 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: base is extremely programmable. That's why they're communists. They're herd animals. 50 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: After ten years of that, what has happened is the 51 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: average Democrat. I'm not just talking about activists or crazy ones. 52 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: The average Democrat is insane, deluded. I don't know what 53 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: insulting word you want to put on it. I'm not 54 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: even trying to insult them. They are so brainwashed now 55 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: with ten years of Trump is Hitler propaganda. They are 56 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: so brainwashed that now, well, doctor Frankenstein, the elites created 57 00:03:53,880 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: this monster. Now the monster can't be controlled. Now it's 58 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: not necessarily the elites calling the shots anymore. Now the 59 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: monster the Democrat base. They have demands and their demand 60 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: is you stop Trump. Why don't you stopping Trump? You 61 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: have to stop Trump? To stop Trump to stop Trump. 62 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: They have demands and you can yell at them now 63 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 1: to you're blue in the face if you're a Democrat, 64 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: that these demands are wrong or bad for the country 65 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: or unrealistic. They don't want to hear that. Now ten 66 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: years of programming. They want Donald Trump stopped. And so 67 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 1: Democrats in Congress, in the House and Senate, they felt 68 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,919 Speaker 1: enormous pressure from their base to deliver some kind of 69 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: a win. Give me a win. But it's very difficult 70 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: to have a win in Congress, even when you have 71 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 1: the majority, unless you have a super majority. Even then 72 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,479 Speaker 1: it can be difficult. How do you get your legislation passed. 73 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 1: It's hard to get the votes when you have a minority. 74 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 1: It's pretty much impossible. So what to do? What to do? Well, 75 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: the only leverage you have is shutting down the entire 76 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 1: United States of America the government anyway, This is why 77 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:11,840 Speaker 1: they all talked about leverage. 78 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 2: We need to do this while we have the leverage. 79 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 3: Of course, there will be you know, families that are 80 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 3: going to suffer, but it is one of the few 81 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 3: leverage times we have. 82 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: You reopen the government and we lose our leverage. There 83 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 1: has to be an agreement right now. That's what this 84 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:31,919 Speaker 1: whole shutdown is about. 85 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,359 Speaker 4: Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. 86 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,359 Speaker 5: Frankly, this is our only moment of leverage. The idea 87 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 5: that you would give up all of your leverage and 88 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 5: then hopefully get some sort of great deal coming down 89 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 5: the pike is just a fool's Errand. 90 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 6: Why are working families the leverage the Democrats need? 91 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 2: You get Obamacare fixed. 92 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:55,359 Speaker 1: It's the only lever we have. 93 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,919 Speaker 2: Democrats have this one little sliver right now. 94 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 4: When we've got some leverage here. 95 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 7: Some Republican senator have pushed a bill that would pay 96 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:06,799 Speaker 7: government workers. 97 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 5: I think that just gives the president more leverage. 98 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: Leverage. What leverage did they have because they didn't have 99 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 1: any leverage to pass actual legislation. Well, we'll shut the 100 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: whole thing down. We'll just make it so nothing happens 101 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: at all. But it's a very dangerous game, you know what, 102 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 1: Playing chicken is. There are various ways you can play it. 103 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 1: One of the most common ways you see it in 104 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: the movies maybe now and then, is you get in 105 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 1: a car, the other guy gets in a car, and 106 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: you drive right towards each other. Very stupid please don't 107 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: do this. And the idea is you want to see 108 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: who swerves first, who turns first. But the problem with 109 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:58,160 Speaker 1: chicken is you're banking on the other side giving in 110 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 1: at some point in time. If they don't, you either 111 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 1: have to crash or you have to turn. It's a 112 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: very very dangerous game. This chicken. Democrats decided to play 113 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: chicken with Republicans and try to hold them hostage to 114 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: get something. And by the way, they're talking about healthcare 115 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: tax credits, that's not important. What they wanted. What they 116 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 1: wanted was to go to their monster and say, hey, guys, 117 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: look we got you something. We're fighting, we got you something. 118 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: That's what they want. And the leadership in the Democrat 119 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: Party they're feeling the pressure because of this monster. That's 120 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: why Chuck Schumer faked outrage today. I must vote no. 121 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 7: This healthcare crisis is so severe, so urgent, so devastating 122 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 7: for families back home, that I cannot in good faith 123 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 7: support this r that that fails to address the healthcare crisis. 124 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 7: The American people know who is inflicting this healthcare trauma 125 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 7: on them, Donald Trump and the Republicans. Health Care costs 126 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 7: made a major impact on the twenty twenty five election, 127 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 7: and they will certainly have an even greater impact on 128 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 7: the twenty twenty sixth election. 129 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 5: I think Chuck Schumer his days are over and he 130 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 5: cannot put that. If he cannot keep his Cucketts together, 131 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 5: if he cannot keep hisquocketts together, he needs to go. 132 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: You can tell how passionate he is about this as 133 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 1: he with his reading glasses on and this is an 134 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 1: outrage about the healthcare and the hang on. Let me 135 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: switch to my Chuck Schumer knows that he has to 136 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: show his base that he's out ranged, he's really mad, 137 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 1: and he doesn't have to do this for any other 138 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 1: reason than his own power. And the fact is that 139 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: Democrats and it wasn't even Schumer that Democrats crossed the 140 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: aisle and reopen the government means Chuck Schumer may very 141 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: well be in trouble. They're already calling for his head. 142 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: Anythink Chuck Schumer needs to go after tonight. 143 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 8: He should have gone a week ago, a month ago, 144 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:16,079 Speaker 8: a year ago. Yes, yes, you talk about him and 145 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 8: not meeting the moment right. Every time he gets in 146 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 8: front of the camera, the average Democratic voter out there screams, 147 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 8: be done with you be done, and this will only 148 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 8: accelerate that. 149 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: Leadership. Doctor Frankenstein can't control this monster anymore. And look, 150 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,320 Speaker 1: there are so many people in the far far left 151 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: wing fringe of Democrat politics. They understand perfectly well with 152 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 1: the base wants, and they make it even harder for 153 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 1: Democrat leadership to do anything remotely reasonable. Did you hear 154 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders. 155 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 9: Study show that will mean that some fifty thousand Americans 156 00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 9: will die every year unnecessarily. All of that was done 157 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 9: to give a trillion dollars in tax breaks to the 158 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 9: one percent. As everybody knows. Just on Tuesday, we had 159 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 9: an election all over this country. And what the election 160 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 9: showed is that the American people want us to stand 161 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 9: up to trump Ism, to his war against working class people, 162 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 9: to his authoritarianism. That is what the American people wanted. 163 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 9: But tonight that is not what happened. 164 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders knows, he knows full well. The Democrat based this, 165 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: the average Democrat voter, probably the Democrat in your life, 166 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 1: if you have won, a family member, a co worker. 167 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: This is how they feel. There is nothing else but 168 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: stopping Trump. If you have to burn down the United 169 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: States of America, cancel every single flight, stop pay for 170 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 1: the military. Even though they may be uncomfortable with the 171 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 1: idea of those things, that does doesn't matter at all. 172 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 1: The top goal has to be stopping Trump. And of course, again, 173 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 1: these are programmed herd animals. That's what democrats are. They 174 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: don't know why if you ask them. But I love 175 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: doing this whenever I encounter democrats out in the wild. 176 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 1: I love just asking very calmly, not argumentative, probing questions 177 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 1: about why, oh, you got to stop Trump from what? Why? 178 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 1: What is it? You'll get this blind rage sometimes, these 179 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 1: vague things. Oftentimes things that aren't even real, almost all 180 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: the time, things that aren't even real, not necessarily knowledgeable 181 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: at all, but programmed over and over and over and 182 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: over and over again. But that monster is so incredibly powerful. Now, 183 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,319 Speaker 1: this is wonderful news for people like you and people 184 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: like me. We get to sit back and watch the carnage. 185 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:59,079 Speaker 1: But let's be frank, this is really bad for the country. 186 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: It's really a bad thing for the United States of 187 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 1: America that one of the two political parties completely sucks 188 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: and the other one is a suicide pack trying to 189 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: burn the nation down. This is an uncomfortable place to be, 190 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,199 Speaker 1: but we'll get through it. All that may have made 191 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 1: you uncomfortable, but I am right. We're going to talk 192 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 1: about this and much more with Chloe. In a moment 193 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: before we talked, Chloe, I want to talk to you 194 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 1: about sleeping. Yesterday was Sunday, and look Sunday was a 195 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 1: busy day, a lot of caffeine, and already you start 196 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: thinking the Sunday night. You start thinking about work, don't you. 197 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: Oh my aunt got a work week coming up, school, 198 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: got all kinds of things. I need a good night's 199 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: sleep tonight. Start off on the right foot. That's what 200 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: dream powder is here for. You need a bag of 201 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 1: it in your house at all times, just as bad 202 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,199 Speaker 1: I have the cinnamon chocolate. It's hot chocolate, but this 203 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 1: is a special hot chocolate. It's hot chocolate that puts 204 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: you to sleep, not with drugs. Natural things inside of 205 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 1: dream powder will have you sip on a cup of 206 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 1: hot chocolate. Half hour later. I'm tired, you drift off 207 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: to sleep. Went a nice fat discount Shotbeam dot com 208 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,319 Speaker 1: slash Jesse Kelly, We'll be back. 209 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 4: You'd have to go back to what the strategy was 210 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 4: at the beginning of the shutdown, there were two goals, 211 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,559 Speaker 4: both of which I support. One was standing up to 212 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 4: Donald Trump. The other was getting some resolution on the 213 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 4: ACA premium tax credit issue. The problem was the shutdown 214 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 4: wasn't accomplishing either goals, and there was practically well it 215 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,680 Speaker 4: was zero likelihood that it was going to in terms 216 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 4: of standing up to Donald Trump. The shutdown actually gave 217 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 4: him more power. 218 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 2: Do you wish that you would have started looking for 219 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,719 Speaker 2: this off for him sooner? He said that Republicans were 220 00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 2: never going to change in their position. 221 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 3: I I didn't fully understand how dug in they were 222 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 3: again because I was so focused on the Virginia elections. 223 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 3: I wasn't in this discussion on the healthcare to see 224 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 3: how dug in they were. 225 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 1: Okay, joining me now, Chloe Trapenado, host of The Chloe 226 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 1: Trapanado Show. Chloe, Okay, So what was this? Simply a 227 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: gamble that the low TGP would grab its ankles like 228 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: they always do and they just didn't. Is that what 229 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 1: it was? 230 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 2: I think it was a sanctimonious facade. It didn't take 231 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 2: them any time at all. When the masks are off, 232 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 2: every single Democrat we know and love so dearly, that 233 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 2: comes on our television screens every day is now saying 234 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 2: the exact same thing. Our number one priority was to 235 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 2: stop Orange bad Man. We really didn't care that we 236 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 2: were making forty two million American suffer. We didn't care 237 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 2: that we were hurting military families. We didn't care at 238 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 2: all that you were going to miss your Thanksgiving dinner 239 00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 2: because you couldn't go fly to see your aunt. We 240 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 2: just needed to beat Donald Trump. How are they so 241 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 2: publicly admitting all of this, just mere moments after the 242 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 2: shutdown has ended forty days, and all they have to 243 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 2: claim is that they tried their best, They tried to 244 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 2: stop Trump, they didn't end up getting anything in return, 245 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 2: and all they did was hurt the American people. I 246 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 2: think it's quite rude. 247 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, rude is actually a perfect way to put that. 248 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 1: Cloie I talked in the open about this doctor Frankenstein situation. 249 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: At least it appears to me we have where Democrats 250 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: have programmed their herd base animals for so long to 251 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: believe that Trump is the end of all, the sum 252 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: of all fears, that now that even if it hurts 253 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: the country, even if it burns down the country, you 254 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: have to at least appear to be fighting him, or 255 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 1: you're not going to stay in office. 256 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 2: Exactly, exactly. That is all they have. And whenever Trump 257 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 2: leaves office, I have no idea what their claim is 258 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 2: going to be. I don't know what they're going to do. Well, next, 259 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 2: they're going to try to say that JD. Vance is 260 00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 2: Hitler and they're going to try to make him up 261 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 2: just as bad as Orange bad Man. He'll be bad 262 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 2: couch man. But that's all they have right now. But 263 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 2: I guess there is one good thing that came out 264 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 2: of this. Americans are paying attention to civics. We're learning 265 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 2: a little bit more about our government. Every time Democrats 266 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 2: do stupid things like this, we learn that there is 267 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 2: a filibuster and there's a threshold. And just because they're 268 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 2: spouting off that Republicans are in control of everything and 269 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 2: it's all Trump's fault that you're not getting your snap benefits, 270 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 2: Americans did a little bit more digging. They did a 271 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 2: little research, and they started discovering some things about our 272 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 2: government that they might not have known before. That, Hey, 273 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 2: just because Republicans have a majority in the Senate, the House, 274 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 2: and the presidency, that doesn't mean they can just do 275 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 2: whatever they want. Our founding fathers made it so that 276 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 2: the party in power could not just do whatever they want. 277 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 2: They need to work with the other side of the aisle, 278 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 2: the Democrats, to get major bills and legislations passed through. 279 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 2: And unfortunately it took forty days for five more sane 280 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 2: Democrats to work with Republicans and come over to the 281 00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 2: side of common sense. And Americans are seeing that out 282 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 2: the people that we elect actually do need to work together, 283 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 2: They do need to have some sort of common sense 284 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,439 Speaker 2: and some sort of morality to get things done in 285 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 2: this government. And so hopefully that shed a light on 286 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 2: who these people are, what they're actually electing them to do, 287 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 2: and then Americans might think to themselves the next time 288 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 2: there's a vote an election, Okay, well, let's maybe get 289 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,200 Speaker 2: somebody in here, somebody else like John Fetterman. Maybe let's 290 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,360 Speaker 2: return to the moderates. Let's elect more people like that 291 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 2: that can actually pass legislation, get things done, and not 292 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 2: just throw temper tantrums and lead the American people suffering 293 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 2: for months on end. 294 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 1: Well, part of the problem is, as you well know, 295 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 1: is that you don't control the Democrat Party. Neither do 296 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: I even all the normies out there. It's Democrats who 297 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,360 Speaker 1: control the Democrat Party, and they don't want John Fetterman. 298 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,119 Speaker 1: I mean sure, Josh Shapiro can't even entertain running for 299 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,360 Speaker 1: president because he's a Jew. Chuck Schumer is already facing 300 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,119 Speaker 1: calls to get not kicked out of leadership or to 301 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 1: get kicked out of leadership. The Demo O base is 302 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:04,679 Speaker 1: not crying for moderation or reasonable or anything good for 303 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 1: the country. None of these calls are coming within Democrat Party. 304 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: How do we deal with that? 305 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,639 Speaker 2: How do we deal with the mom Donnie's of the world. 306 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 2: That's a great question, Jesse. I was reading Denise Jesus's 307 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 2: book this week kind of just started at the United 308 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,639 Speaker 2: States of Socialism, and I think what we do is 309 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,160 Speaker 2: we start to have young people my generation especially, start 310 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,359 Speaker 2: to read, start to do a little bit more primary 311 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 2: research and read books like this that very articulately lay 312 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 2: out the history of socialism and how we got to 313 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 2: where we are today. And maybe that won't happen. Maybe 314 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 2: it's going to take the younger generation many more years 315 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,919 Speaker 2: to come to common sense and realize that socialism is 316 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 2: not the way to go. So until them, I think 317 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 2: the Republicans just need to do a really good job 318 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,639 Speaker 2: of painting a very clear picture of exactly who they 319 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 2: are and what they stand for. We need to tell 320 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 2: our kids, our students, our friends exactly what it is, 321 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,639 Speaker 2: socialism is, exactly what communism is. We need to have 322 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 2: the facts on our side so that we can lay 323 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 2: out who the enemy is and how to defeat them 324 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 2: with words, with debate, because until then, Democrats are just 325 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 2: going to continue to spread this false messaging and promulgate 326 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 2: these same poisonous ideas on TikTok throughout all of the 327 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,439 Speaker 2: different algorithms, that really socialism is fine, that people like 328 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 2: mom Donnie are normal, that radicalism is totally cool, it's hip. 329 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 2: I mean, there's girls on TikTok that are saying, after 330 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 2: Mom Donnie one democracy is hot. You know, they're throwing 331 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 2: out everything they can. They're going to say they will 332 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,359 Speaker 2: make everything free. Socialists will make everything free. Obviously, the 333 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 2: economy is not in the best place right now, so 334 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,479 Speaker 2: it's working. So I think Republicans are just going to 335 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 2: have to get past that messaging. When the messaging war 336 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 2: on different platforms like social media, we're gonna have to 337 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,920 Speaker 2: do more of this new media stuff and just try 338 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 2: to best articulate to Americans that that's not the way 339 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 2: to go again. Read nineteen eighty four by George Orwell. 340 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 2: I'm telling all of my tikto fans and Instagram audiences 341 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 2: that we just have to be armed with verbal weaponry 342 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,400 Speaker 2: to win, because that is how we're going to get 343 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,680 Speaker 2: past people like Zoe Run Mom Donnie. Plus they will 344 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,360 Speaker 2: see over time that Zo Run Mom Donnie is horrible 345 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:17,399 Speaker 2: for New York, and socialists overall would be horrible in 346 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 2: any form of leadership because it just doesn't work here 347 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:24,679 Speaker 2: in America. We are a capitalist, constitutional republic. The reason 348 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 2: that millions and millions of immigrants are trying to get 349 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 2: to America every single day is because we are a 350 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,879 Speaker 2: capitalist society where the American dream can happen, where we 351 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:38,360 Speaker 2: can prosper And I think the more we let socialism pervase, 352 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 2: the more that people won't want to come here. And 353 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,920 Speaker 2: they will because they're seeing that socialism does not equal prosperity. 354 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 2: So I think over time the pendulum will swing back, 355 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 2: but it's just going to take a lot of communication, 356 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 2: a lot of clear messaging and prayers because Mom Donnie 357 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 2: will ruin New York City. 358 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think prayer are most definitely the order of day. 359 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 1: Can how much hope should I as a cynical crust 360 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: the old guy with gray and my beard, how much 361 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 1: faith should I put in people realizing that communism socialism 362 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 1: fails when you have cities like Chicago, they'll even go 363 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: kick their mayor out and then go find a bigger 364 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,919 Speaker 1: scumbag and install them as mayor. The lesson across the 365 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 1: country has not been Democrat voters learning the lesson that 366 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 1: Democrat policies suck. In fact, I haven't seen much of 367 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 1: that at all. 368 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,199 Speaker 2: I think you're right. I'm also cynical trying to be 369 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 2: positive on this lovely Monday, but it's hard in the 370 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:39,639 Speaker 2: wake of everything that's going on. I just saw a 371 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 2: video of a Chicago person murdered on the side of 372 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 2: the street and cars were just driving past, no care 373 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,119 Speaker 2: in the world. Oh dead body. That's normal there in 374 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 2: Chicago because the leadership is so abhorrent to look at 375 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 2: things glass half empty. Forty nine to sixty percent of 376 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:05,120 Speaker 2: gen Z and young people see socialism quite favorably, So 377 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 2: it's actually probably not going to get much better before 378 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 2: it gets much much worse. Obviously gen Z has a 379 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 2: lot of learning to do before they start to change 380 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:18,160 Speaker 2: their tune. So the youngest generation of voters, they love socialism, 381 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,400 Speaker 2: they love communism. Why is that because they're not reading. 382 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 2: They're getting spread very poisonous messaging through TikTok via China 383 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 2: and so yep to feed into your cynicalness. I do 384 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,919 Speaker 2: think it's going to get worse. But that's why people 385 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 2: like me exist. I'm common sensical. I'd like to think 386 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 2: I was raised conservative. I was raised Catholic with good parents, 387 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 2: and so I'm going to do the best job that 388 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 2: I can to spread to my audience. Is that communism, socialism, 389 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 2: it's not the way forward. We need to return to 390 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 2: our capitalist values. We need to love this country once again. 391 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,880 Speaker 2: We need to understand why it's good to go to church, 392 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 2: why capitalism works, why our founders were geniuses who made 393 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 2: America the way it's supposed to be. They did not 394 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,119 Speaker 2: foresee a man like mom Donnie coming into the picture 395 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 2: and ruining everything. So just I think explaining to young 396 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 2: people why we did the things, why we did things 397 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 2: the way that we did, and try to, I don't know, 398 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,399 Speaker 2: reroute their minds to head back to that reality. 399 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,880 Speaker 1: Deprogramming. If you will, Chloe, thank you, I appreciate it. 400 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,680 Speaker 1: Democrats have a Jihati problem, a big one. Dustin Gregy outa, 401 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 1: Minnesota is going to come talk to us about it. 402 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,680 Speaker 1: In a moment before we talked to Dustin, I want 403 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 1: to talk to you about your testosterone levels. No, no, no, no, 404 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,879 Speaker 1: believe me. I'm not running a low TE clinic or 405 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 1: something like that. But there is a reason there's a 406 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,400 Speaker 1: low T clinic on every corner in your town. We've 407 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 1: lost fifty percent of our testosterone in fifty years. The 408 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,160 Speaker 1: reason you're tired all the time, the reason you're always 409 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:58,199 Speaker 1: in a bad mood, You've been drinking estrogen. It's in 410 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,920 Speaker 1: our waters. We shower in it. How do we reverse it? Though? 411 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: When we don't want to take drugs, I want a 412 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 1: needle in my arm.

Hold on, let me check my notes 430 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 1: Minneapolis joining me now, Dustin Greggy, wonderful columnists with townhall 431 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 1: dot com. Hey Dunston, I'm just confirming that is in Minneapolis, Minnesota, right. 432 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 5: That is correct, That is in Minneapolis, Minnesota. 433 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,199 Speaker 1: So this is where we are now. In order to 434 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,679 Speaker 1: win the Democrat primary in a major American city, a 435 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,359 Speaker 1: formerly wonderful city, I should note that you have to 436 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:00,679 Speaker 1: ablah the land and go or what. 437 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's quite fascinating how electoral politics have kind of 438 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:10,920 Speaker 5: happened in this country, let alone, just in a small city. 439 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 5: Here in Minneapolis is a relatively small city in terms 440 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 5: of some of these other major populaces. But we also 441 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,920 Speaker 5: just happen to have the largest concentration of Somali immigrants 442 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,399 Speaker 5: in the entire country. I want to say, something like 443 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,639 Speaker 5: ninety percent or eighty percent of all of them in 444 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:33,479 Speaker 5: the entire United States live in a seven county metro 445 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 5: of Minnesota, the Minneapolis Twin Cities Saint Paul area. So yeah, 446 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:40,920 Speaker 5: it's kind of come to that point where in order 447 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 5: to win, in particular in Democrat primary, you have to 448 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 5: really dig into a certain population, which I want to 449 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 5: say is maybe eight percent of this metro, but that 450 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,399 Speaker 5: small of a concentration, if you were able to actually 451 00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 5: get into that demographic and win over their vote votes 452 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 5: in particular, just really hammering down at a certain clan 453 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 5: within that population and be able to turn out their 454 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:12,920 Speaker 5: vote because you can one speak the language, and to 455 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 5: target these individuals because whatever reason that it might benefit 456 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 5: them that you can actually go win a mayor election. 457 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,919 Speaker 1: Okay, that'stin. Before we go on, I needed to go 458 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:29,399 Speaker 1: ahead and explain what you just said. A clan we 459 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,200 Speaker 1: have now clan wars. What. 460 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's quite fascinating and I've been talking about this 461 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,399 Speaker 5: since I don't know, probably twenty eighteen now there have 462 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 5: actually been four Somali candidates that have run since that 463 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 5: time in the state of Minnesota as Republicans. All four cases, 464 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,160 Speaker 5: all four of those candidates have requested I run their 465 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 5: campaigns because I actually am quite in depth with the 466 00:27:55,560 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 5: small Smali community here in Minnesota, not as much it 467 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:06,440 Speaker 5: was before in Minneapolis. There's actually another neighboring area by 468 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 5: Saint Cloud, minnisotes in the central part of the state. 469 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 5: That's where I went to college at Saint Cloud State 470 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 5: University and where I ultimately got my start with the 471 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 5: small community. A lot of the elders when they came 472 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 5: over here after the Siad bar regime, which is socialism 473 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:28,680 Speaker 5: or like communism, They like all the things that kind 474 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,880 Speaker 5: of come from Russia and Hitler and all these different 475 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 5: They're terrible ideologies, but they brought that over here, and 476 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 5: a lot of the individuals that actually ended up translating 477 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 5: those tons to word are from the same Cloud community 478 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 5: where I went to college, So I got into these 479 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 5: communities a little bit already. I've known a lot of 480 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 5: their business leaders that are more on the conservative side 481 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 5: of things, and we've worked in small parts to try 482 00:28:57,760 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 5: to bring more of those over to our side because 483 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 5: they are here legally unfortunately, you know, just part of 484 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 5: those robots. You have to kind of come a hard 485 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,960 Speaker 5: to try to take away votes from the Democrats. But yeah, 486 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 5: when you're talking about a Democrat primary, it just brings 487 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 5: it to a completely different level in which you have 488 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 5: to try to go get those votes. And in this case, 489 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 5: Mayor Fry almost speaks better Somali than Omar Fetal, which 490 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 5: is kind of funny when you talk to some of 491 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 5: those Somaliti activists and you know it's paid off for him. 492 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 1: Skip. Okay, Dustin, I'm sorry, but I can't get over 493 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 1: this exactly. How do we end up with so many 494 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 1: Somalis that we have clan wars to get elected mayor 495 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 1: in Minneapolis. What is the history of this? I know 496 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 1: you're bowned up on this stuff. 497 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, so you'd actually have to go back to Siad Bar, 498 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 5: the former ruler of Somalia way back in the day. 499 00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 5: That was in the early nineteen nineties, and yeah, the 500 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 5: war has kind of just kind of come over here 501 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 5: a Somali land, which is actually a country north of Somalia. 502 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 5: This is when Siad Bar was actually basically committee in 503 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:17,800 Speaker 5: genocide between these two countries trying to basically have a 504 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 5: regime up there, and a lot of people are starting 505 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 5: to finally click onto this. But one of Siad Barr's 506 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 5: main colonels in his army was actually the father of 507 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 5: Ilhan Omar, So she's actually a big part of this 508 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:38,440 Speaker 5: entire process and why, you know, kind of why socialism 509 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 5: has kind of come over while her dad was under 510 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 5: a socialist regime, and she's kind of carried those politics 511 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 5: over here, which is why she probably doesn't mind as 512 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,040 Speaker 5: much going back because she'd be going back into socialism again. 513 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 5: She's actually a part of a minority clan here in Minneapolis. Granted, 514 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 5: they hold most of the power in the Minneapolis area, 515 00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 5: whether it be political acumen and having insider ways about 516 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 5: getting donors, political organizers, people who know how the politics 517 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:12,480 Speaker 5: actually work in Minneapolis to get elected because the three 518 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,880 Speaker 5: main Somali individuals who are elected to political office are 519 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,160 Speaker 5: all a part of that klan, the klan that holds 520 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:23,640 Speaker 5: the power. But Mayor Fry isn't a dumb guy. He 521 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 5: realizes that these clan wars are occurring and they actually 522 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 5: are part of the minority clan, So hey, what if 523 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 5: I go over to these majority clans get in with 524 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 5: them and actually try to viy for their vote. We 525 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 5: can actually outnumber and end up coming down to basically 526 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 5: the margin of victory. We're only talking about eight percent 527 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 5: of the Minneapolis community. It's not that much, but it 528 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:50,920 Speaker 5: can play a major role if you know how to 529 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 5: actually get into those communities and buy for their vote. 530 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,960 Speaker 5: And he decided to go up to the majority clan 531 00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 5: in those clan wars that have gone all the way 532 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 5: back to genocide in the early nineteen nineties with Somalia. 533 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 5: But at the end of the day, a lot of 534 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:11,000 Speaker 5: people don't realize that the Samali community have some conservative 535 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 5: routes to them and in this case, they care about 536 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:17,920 Speaker 5: family and not aborting their children. So as these new 537 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 5: generations come along, they're going to reproduce, and that's a 538 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 5: major reality that we're facing here in Minnesota. So you 539 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 5: do have to buy for their vote, and especially if 540 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 5: you have a majority chunk of those clans from those 541 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,480 Speaker 5: clan wars, you can win some elections, not just now, 542 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 5: but two for six eight years from now as they 543 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,720 Speaker 5: become voting age. 544 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:49,000 Speaker 1: Dustin, thank you, that was illuminating. Thank you. We have 545 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 1: Somali clan wars in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I need some chips. 546 00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,720 Speaker 1: It makes me feel better. Look, I'm not proud of 547 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 1: what I'm about to say, but i'm gonna say it. 548 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 1: I'm a comfort eater. When I'm down or maybe stressed 549 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:12,440 Speaker 1: out about something, I'm gonna snack. Now. It's normally a 550 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,720 Speaker 1: dangerous thing when I go wandering into the pantry. But 551 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,560 Speaker 1: now I have a big old box of massive chips 552 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,440 Speaker 1: in there. They send me big boxes of them. Not 553 00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:23,720 Speaker 1: to brag, but they have all these all kinds of 554 00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,400 Speaker 1: different flavors, right, And normally, if I come out of 555 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 1: the pantry with the bag of chips, ob is gonna 556 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,720 Speaker 1: be giving me the side eye. Not with mass chips. 557 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:35,080 Speaker 1: I grab a bag of mass of chips, pop open 558 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,000 Speaker 1: the fridge, grab a little thing of hot sauce, and 559 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:39,719 Speaker 1: I just go sit down in my chair, little dab 560 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:44,480 Speaker 1: and I munch gilt free three ingredients, no seed oil, filth, 561 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 1: none of this cancer causing garbage. You're not gonna feel 562 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,880 Speaker 1: fat and bloated afterwards, and you don't have to feel bad. 563 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:56,920 Speaker 1: They're delicious and they're nutritious. Massa chips dot com slash 564 00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:11,480 Speaker 1: jessetv gets you a big discount we'll be back. All right. Well, 565 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:15,399 Speaker 1: there's very clearly a shift that's happening now and you're 566 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,360 Speaker 1: going to see it happening in the coming days. A 567 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:22,120 Speaker 1: shift from the Trump administration focusing on a lot of 568 00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:25,040 Speaker 1: foreign affairs, which they've been you know, Ukraine and trade 569 00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:29,000 Speaker 1: deals and things like that, to domestic They have heard 570 00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 1: the domestic displeasure with the economy, and it seems like 571 00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,160 Speaker 1: they're going to focus on that. Joining me now, Carol Roth, 572 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:41,440 Speaker 1: two time best selling author recovering former investment banker. Okay, Carol, 573 00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 1: the administration is going to focus domestically. Some of that 574 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:47,759 Speaker 1: might be good, some of that might be bad. What 575 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:49,719 Speaker 1: kind of things are they tossing out there? What is 576 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:50,560 Speaker 1: this dividend? 577 00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:50,799 Speaker 2: What? 578 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:54,600 Speaker 6: Well, first of all, I've got three letters for you. 579 00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,759 Speaker 6: Tys told you so I knew this was going to 580 00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:02,040 Speaker 6: be happened. We talked about the choreography of focusing on affordability, 581 00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 6: because that is the reason that President Trump was put 582 00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,320 Speaker 6: into office. It was the number one thing that people 583 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:12,600 Speaker 6: were concerned about. So I give the administration props for now, 584 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,520 Speaker 6: you know, starting to home in on this. The challenge 585 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,000 Speaker 6: is that some of the ideas that are coming out 586 00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:19,719 Speaker 6: are a little nutty, so we're going to need to 587 00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:23,760 Speaker 6: work through them and hopefully twist it and change things around. 588 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,960 Speaker 6: On the tariff front, we know that the tariffs are 589 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,759 Speaker 6: in front of the Supreme Court right now, and I 590 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:34,000 Speaker 6: think to try and drum up, you know, more support 591 00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:37,239 Speaker 6: on the President's side, he is now throwing out the 592 00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:42,800 Speaker 6: idea of UH stimulus checks basically two thousand dollars tariff 593 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:47,880 Speaker 6: freebates whatnot, although Scott Bessant, the Treasury Secretary, has walked 594 00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:53,040 Speaker 6: that back. They're floating ideas like fifty year mortgages to 595 00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:56,000 Speaker 6: you know, keep you indebted to the bank forever. I 596 00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:57,799 Speaker 6: mean you might as well at this point have two 597 00:35:57,920 --> 00:35:59,840 Speaker 6: hundred dollars mortgages and just you know, keep it in 598 00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:03,160 Speaker 6: the family for a few generations. So some of these 599 00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 6: ideas are a little wacky, but you know, we want 600 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:08,719 Speaker 6: to be positive, we want to be optimistic, and we 601 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,759 Speaker 6: want to be problem solvers. So we want to say, hey, 602 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:13,680 Speaker 6: you know, here are the ways we can approach these 603 00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:17,239 Speaker 6: things you're talking about and make them better. On the 604 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:21,279 Speaker 6: tariff fronts, I think the biggest gift that Scotus could 605 00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:24,840 Speaker 6: give the President is by striking down the tariffs, but 606 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:30,440 Speaker 6: also making them basically proactive but not reactive in terms 607 00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:34,319 Speaker 6: of you know, their non application. Refunding is going to 608 00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:36,239 Speaker 6: be a big issue, even though it's money that they 609 00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,319 Speaker 6: shouldn't have gotten and a lot of people will want 610 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 6: that back from a purely you know, gift to the 611 00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,000 Speaker 6: president's standpoint saying you know, we're drawing a line on 612 00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,400 Speaker 6: the stand it will be a boon to the market, 613 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:48,920 Speaker 6: it'll be a boon to the economy. And if the 614 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:52,160 Speaker 6: President is able to let that go and refocus, then 615 00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:54,920 Speaker 6: he can start focusing on some of the different options 616 00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,960 Speaker 6: for affordability in lots of different categories. 617 00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,640 Speaker 1: Okay, you know, we'll come back to the affordability thing. 618 00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:05,080 Speaker 1: I want you to expand a little bit on how 619 00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:08,560 Speaker 1: does this help us if the Supreme Court strikes down 620 00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:12,279 Speaker 1: some tariff stuff, how does this translate into things being 621 00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:13,880 Speaker 1: more affordable for normal people. 622 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:16,680 Speaker 6: Well, the tariffs are a tax. 623 00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:17,160 Speaker 2: You know. 624 00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,600 Speaker 6: You can call it a licensing fee, you can call 625 00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:22,880 Speaker 6: it an extra fee, but ultimately it's extra money that 626 00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:26,359 Speaker 6: is paid by businesses and then ultimately consumers that's going 627 00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:29,520 Speaker 6: to the government. So in my world, that is a tax, 628 00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,279 Speaker 6: and having more taxes is a bad thing, which I 629 00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:34,440 Speaker 6: think most of us can agree to. So if we 630 00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,239 Speaker 6: can get rid of the tariffs, if we can say, 631 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,839 Speaker 6: you know, that is not in an emergency power, that 632 00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:44,080 Speaker 6: you know, it doesn't match up with emergency powers these 633 00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:47,440 Speaker 6: tariffs that he is undertaking, then I think that is 634 00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,200 Speaker 6: a good thing because people won't have that extra cost, 635 00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:54,480 Speaker 6: Businesses will have more certainty, the market will have more 636 00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:58,439 Speaker 6: certainty on policy, and it will allow the Trump administration, 637 00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:02,439 Speaker 6: instead of focusing on this relentlessly, to focus in other 638 00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:05,480 Speaker 6: areas which are desperately needed. So I think that's going 639 00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:07,960 Speaker 6: to be a benefits all around. 640 00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:08,319 Speaker 9: Now. 641 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:10,960 Speaker 6: Certainly, even if they strike them down, he could just 642 00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,680 Speaker 6: you know, dig in and he could take his proposals 643 00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,239 Speaker 6: to Congress and try to get them to put those 644 00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:20,359 Speaker 6: into law. But if that path opens up, if the 645 00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:24,279 Speaker 6: Supreme Court offers the gift, I hope somebody says, please 646 00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:25,480 Speaker 6: take the gift. 647 00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:31,680 Speaker 1: Okay, let's focus on affordability here. And I understand that 648 00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:36,080 Speaker 1: we have decades and decades and decades of idiotic fiscal 649 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:39,880 Speaker 1: policy that has made us It's made how's it going affordable? 650 00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:42,479 Speaker 1: Just focus on that portion of it. And so look, 651 00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:46,400 Speaker 1: if you're a populis president. You can throw out ideas 652 00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,480 Speaker 1: like fifty year mortgage all you want. Much as I 653 00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:54,120 Speaker 1: hate that idea, it doesn't fix any of the foundational problems. 654 00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:57,560 Speaker 1: Do you sense the administration is at all focused on 655 00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:02,240 Speaker 1: the foundational problems that make life unaffordable for younger people? 656 00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:06,160 Speaker 6: I hope so. I think that when many of us 657 00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:09,800 Speaker 6: spoke out and said, you know, fifty year mortgages doesn't 658 00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:14,960 Speaker 6: fix the affordability issue. It's just basically monetizing it, you know. 659 00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:17,000 Speaker 6: I think that some of the people involved in the 660 00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:20,800 Speaker 6: administration picked up on other ideas that have been floated. 661 00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,560 Speaker 6: I've floated ideas. I think I've talked to you about 662 00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:28,759 Speaker 6: some of them before, like making mortgages assumable and portable, 663 00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,600 Speaker 6: and so some folks in the administration have said that 664 00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,960 Speaker 6: they are considering that as well. So that gives me 665 00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:39,560 Speaker 6: at least a moment of optimism to say, Okay, this 666 00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:42,280 Speaker 6: is not the only thing that they're going to consider, 667 00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:44,960 Speaker 6: and this is the first trial balloon that they're floating. 668 00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,239 Speaker 6: I think that one's sort of gone over more like 669 00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:50,640 Speaker 6: a lad balloon. But hopefully they will get involved in 670 00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:52,840 Speaker 6: some of the things that they can. There are certain 671 00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,960 Speaker 6: things that they won't be able to get directly involved, 672 00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:59,280 Speaker 6: you know, things like zoning issues at the local level, 673 00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,960 Speaker 6: but the president using his platform to shine a light 674 00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,520 Speaker 6: on them. I do think he can create that kind 675 00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:09,799 Speaker 6: of pressure and then help people sort of double down 676 00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,160 Speaker 6: on that pressure to do what needs to be done 677 00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:15,239 Speaker 6: at the local and state level while he's doing the 678 00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:16,920 Speaker 6: things he can do at the federal level. 679 00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:24,359 Speaker 1: Carol, what do we think about this meat packing collusion? 680 00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:27,880 Speaker 1: What did he call it? Illicit collusion and price fixing? 681 00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,840 Speaker 1: This is something that Trump administration has spoken out about. 682 00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,160 Speaker 1: I understand there is a beef shortage in the country. 683 00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,160 Speaker 1: Anyone who's tried to buy a t bone at the 684 00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:39,000 Speaker 1: grocery store is well aware that there is a beef 685 00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,120 Speaker 1: shortage of some kind in the country. What is going on? 686 00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:45,080 Speaker 6: Yes, well, obviously I am not a rancher and I 687 00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:48,040 Speaker 6: don't even play one, and a great drama on television, 688 00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:51,960 Speaker 6: but obviously there are issues. And you know, it's interesting 689 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:55,000 Speaker 6: how politicians, you know, even the President, tend to go 690 00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:59,000 Speaker 6: to big bad corporations and collusion and price fixing, and 691 00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:02,600 Speaker 6: if that's happening, should absolutely stop that. But where they 692 00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:05,680 Speaker 6: never go where I think they should go is the 693 00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:10,879 Speaker 6: deregulation and helping the smaller players in the industry. I've 694 00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:13,640 Speaker 6: heard from many people, you know, whether it's related to 695 00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:17,160 Speaker 6: ranching or farming, that there are restrictions that make it 696 00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:20,759 Speaker 6: harder for them to do business, and we should be 697 00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:23,560 Speaker 6: making it as easy as possible for them to do 698 00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:27,040 Speaker 6: business and to feed the country. And so, going back 699 00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:28,960 Speaker 6: to one of the tenants that they ran out of, 700 00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:32,759 Speaker 6: the deregulation and the focus on main street America, on 701 00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:36,839 Speaker 6: our ranchers, on our farmers. Yes, we want to get 702 00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:38,680 Speaker 6: rid of collusion with the big guys, but we want 703 00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:41,840 Speaker 6: to make it easier for the small guys to compete, 704 00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:45,800 Speaker 6: and that is something that they should be focused on highly. 705 00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:51,360 Speaker 1: Now, Carol, as we wrap this up here, the Trump administration, 706 00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:54,399 Speaker 1: at least the first time, they were pretty dagone good 707 00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:57,680 Speaker 1: about deregulation and it's something Trump does very very well. 708 00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:00,560 Speaker 1: He's big on that. Are they not can sing on 709 00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:01,760 Speaker 1: that as much this time? 710 00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:05,200 Speaker 6: I think they got distracted. I think it should have 711 00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:07,840 Speaker 6: been the first thing that they focused on out of 712 00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:11,800 Speaker 6: the gate, as well as the making the tax code permanent. 713 00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:14,880 Speaker 6: They obviously got the latter piece of that done, but 714 00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,560 Speaker 6: the tear of policy and shoring some of that up, 715 00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:19,880 Speaker 6: which some part of that has actually been great. So 716 00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:22,759 Speaker 6: let me give the president props. You things like focusing 717 00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:27,799 Speaker 6: on rare earth elements and securing our border and national security, like, 718 00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:29,680 Speaker 6: some of those things are really good and we're really 719 00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,360 Speaker 6: glad he did it. But I do think the focus 720 00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:36,839 Speaker 6: on tariff and some of the international trade didn't give 721 00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:39,680 Speaker 6: them as much time to focus on main street, you know, 722 00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:43,200 Speaker 6: even something like we've talked about the Corporate Transparency Act. 723 00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,919 Speaker 6: They haven't even come out with the final rule yet, 724 00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:49,320 Speaker 6: so that hasn't been codified. So they've taken some steps 725 00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,760 Speaker 6: in that direction, but they need to do massive deregulation, 726 00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:56,520 Speaker 6: particularly as it pertains to the things that create barriers 727 00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:59,840 Speaker 6: for small businesses in this country. We want this country 728 00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:02,920 Speaker 6: to grow and to thrive. It benefits everyone, and that 729 00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:06,440 Speaker 6: starts with the backbone of the economy. So deregulation and 730 00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:10,040 Speaker 6: helping out the little guys in a very pro free 731 00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:12,360 Speaker 6: market way makes all the sense in the world. 732 00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:17,600 Speaker 1: Carol, I'm so glad you're with us and you're not 733 00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:23,120 Speaker 1: an investment banker anymore. Come back, So we have lightened 734 00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:27,680 Speaker 1: the mood. It's time for a very special happy birthday. Next, 735 00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,640 Speaker 1: it is time to lighten the mood, and to lighten 736 00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:44,640 Speaker 1: the mood today, we're going to wish a happy birthday. 737 00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:50,240 Speaker 1: A happy birthday to the most wonderful organization on the planet. 738 00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:55,200 Speaker 1: Today is the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of my 739 00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:59,840 Speaker 1: beloved United States Marine Corps. I only dedicated four years 740 00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:02,880 Speaker 1: of my life to this wonderful institution. So many others 741 00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:06,840 Speaker 1: that dedicated so much more, But I am very, very 742 00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:09,880 Speaker 1: proud to be a very teeny tiny part of the 743 00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:13,080 Speaker 1: history of an organization that has been fighting for this 744 00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:16,680 Speaker 1: country and fighting in bars for now two hundred and 745 00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:20,360 Speaker 1: fifty years. Thank you to the finest light infantry on 746 00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:30,400 Speaker 1: the planet. I'll see them all.
