1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: Third hour of playing Puck kicks off now. Senator Marsha 2 00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:07,040 Speaker 1: Blackburn of Tennessee joins us. Senator, always going to talk 3 00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:08,119 Speaker 1: to you, Thanks for being here. 4 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:11,959 Speaker 2: It is always so good to talk to you. Thanks 5 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:12,720 Speaker 2: so much for. 6 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:16,320 Speaker 1: Having me on a bunch of issues. Wanted to get 7 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 1: your latest analysis on judiciary hearings, drug seize of the border. 8 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,160 Speaker 1: We're going to get into that momentarily. But first, I 9 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 1: know that Tennessee, your homestate, has been hit with some 10 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:32,480 Speaker 1: really scary storms and there's been some loss of life. 11 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 1: What can you tell us about these tornadoes and the 12 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:36,879 Speaker 1: efforts to get help to those who need it. 13 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,559 Speaker 2: Yes, we know that they have touched down in a 14 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 2: couple of counties, Hartiman County and McNairy County. The town 15 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 2: of Selmer has been the hardest hit. They have lost 16 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 2: six lives. And I know our governor and the Tennessee 17 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 2: Emergency Management my team, they've all been out this morning 18 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 2: and they're working hard to help people recover and to 19 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:09,039 Speaker 2: do a damage assessment. But McNairy County, Tennessee, really caught 20 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 2: the brunt of it last night, and we certainly are 21 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 2: praying for those individuals. And then we've got a lot 22 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 2: of flooding that is taking place in the middle Tennessee 23 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 2: area and continuing to watch that. It should be raining 24 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 2: for another eight hours or so and then we'll be 25 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 2: able to do a better damage assessment. 26 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 1: Is the is there a need centator for coordination with 27 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: the Trump administration the federal government on some of the 28 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: efforts to get help or is the State of Tennessee 29 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 1: mostly handling. 30 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 2: Well, we did the disaster declaration last night during the night, 31 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 2: and President Trump went ahead and approved that. So those 32 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 2: resources are being surged into the area now and we're 33 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 2: really grateful to the President for taking such swift action 34 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 2: on that and coordinating with our state. 35 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: All right, center, Well, thoughts and prayers go to everybody 36 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 1: in your state affected by this, and we know that 37 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: you and President Trump and also Tennessee emergency services are 38 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: on it. I had a friend who just moved to 39 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: Nashville and was surprised that at how these tornadoes rolled 40 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: in and it really rattled a lot of people. So anyway, 41 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 1: with Austin, prayers go to them, and we'll be thinking 42 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,679 Speaker 1: about the folks at Tennessee. Tell us about this judiciary 43 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: hearing on universal injunctions. This seems to be clearly the 44 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: universal injunctions one of the primary obstruction tools that have 45 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 1: been used against the Trump agenda so far. What came 46 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: out of these hearings and what do you think comes 47 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:42,679 Speaker 1: next on this issue. 48 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,239 Speaker 2: One of the things that really was so apparent on 49 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 2: this is how the Democrats have not been able to 50 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 2: get what they want. It's a ballot box, so they've 51 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 2: not been able to get what they want legislatively. And 52 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 2: they really were sent a message John November fifth if 53 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 2: they did not like so now they have turned to 54 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 2: the judiciary and time and again, as we heard from 55 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 2: the witnesses, there is absolutely no constitutional or statutorial authority 56 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 2: for a district judge to issue a nationwide injunction. And 57 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 2: a district judge is constrained by the case in front 58 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 2: of him and the district in which he is seated, 59 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 2: and he cannot go outside of that. And so it 60 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 2: just showed up, showed how the Democrats are trying to 61 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 2: politicize the courts this time to get their way, which 62 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 2: is to stop President Trump's agenda. And in the month 63 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 2: of February, these activist judges issued fifteen universal injunctions against Trump, 64 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 2: and during Biden's entire administration four years, there were only 65 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 2: fourteen against Biden in total. 66 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: Now, what do you think should happen or what are 67 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: you hoping will happen next? On this? The Supreme Court, 68 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: I would assume, has to has to weigh in. So 69 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,919 Speaker 1: it feels like for a lot of us, are we 70 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: just in a weight and see mode for there to 71 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 1: be some sanity restored to this process. What happens next? 72 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 2: Well, we do have legislation and having the bill that 73 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 2: would clarify that the judge cannot go outside of his 74 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 2: district to end in making a ruling that helps to 75 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 2: elevate this issue because Justice Roberts, Chief Justice Roberts is 76 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 2: going to have to weigh in on this and the 77 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 2: Supreme Court is going to have to weigh in on 78 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 2: this issue. But we think it is a valid point 79 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 2: and something that is necessary to pull point out that 80 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 2: this authority does not exist with these federal district judges. 81 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 2: And again it points out the importance of having good 82 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 2: constitutional jurists on the bench. 83 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: Also, yesterday, Senator, there was a hearing Senate hearing with 84 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: the CEO, the current CEO of Boeing. You know a 85 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 1: lot of people are much more attuned to air safety 86 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: than they have been in a while, given some of 87 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 1: the very unfortunate situations both including some fatal accidents but 88 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 1: also some near misses that have been happening. I know 89 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 1: this specifically was focused on the seven thirty seven Max 90 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 1: nine jet incident and some other very high profile aviation 91 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,159 Speaker 1: aviation issues, But what happened to Boeing, I mean, that's 92 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people just curious. This used 93 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 1: to be considered a great American company with incredible safety procedures, 94 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: incredibly innovative, and there's been a loss of confidence in 95 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: Boeing as a corporation. What did the CEO tell you? 96 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: What do people need to know about air How this 97 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: company and just airline safety in general is getting the 98 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,119 Speaker 1: focus that it needs well. 99 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 2: And on airline safety, we have all been very concerned 100 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 2: about that and are pushing the FAA to make certain 101 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 2: that they are hiring people that are qualified to be 102 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 2: air traffic controllers. And last year, because of DEI requirements, 103 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 2: they had a thousand people that were qualified, but they 104 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 2: did not take them because they didn't need certain DEI requirements. 105 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 2: Now on Boeing, I think that many of us have 106 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 2: just been disappointed with how they've taken their eye off 107 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:55,799 Speaker 2: the ball, seemingly when it comes to safety and they 108 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,239 Speaker 2: I talked to with the CEO yesterday in my time 109 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:05,359 Speaker 2: of question about how their culture at the company just 110 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 2: seemed to have eroded and there was not that trust 111 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 2: among the employees and the leadership. And then also the 112 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 2: lack of protection that was given to whistleblowers because whistleblowers 113 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 2: had been fired, they had been isolated, and what we need. 114 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 2: If they had been heeding what these whistleblowers were saying, 115 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 2: maybe that would have helped with not having this diminished 116 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 2: work culture, and maybe they would not have taken their 117 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 2: eye off the safety provisions that they should be meeting 118 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 2: every single day as a guarantee to the flying public. 119 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: We're speaking the Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee and Senator 120 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: one of the areas where the Trump administration right out 121 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: of the gate has shown just incredible results is the 122 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: reduction in illegal entries in the United States. There's also 123 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: been a substantial reduction in the illegal importation of drugs 124 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: like fhentanyl, methamphetamine, cocaine, all the rest of it. But 125 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: you have raised you and along with your colleague, Senator 126 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: Ted Cruz have raised that there was an effort that 127 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: previously existed to add to the current, you know, the 128 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: current efforts to stop the drugs from flowing into the 129 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 1: country that involve interdiction at transit hubs, and that Biden, 130 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: the Biden administration turned this off. Can you tell us 131 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: about what this program was and what would it take 132 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 1: to get it going again. 133 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 2: Yes, and this was a program that was suspended. It 134 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 2: was a DEA program and it is called consensual encounters, 135 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 2: and it allowed DEA agents to inspect and conduct interdiction 136 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:03,079 Speaker 2: efforts in transit hubs. And we're trying to restore that. Now. 137 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 2: Let me just give you the Nashville Airport as an example. 138 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 2: If you take the period of time from twenty twenty 139 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:16,079 Speaker 2: two to twenty four, then they apprehended thirty three kilograms 140 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 2: of fentanyl pills, sixteen kilograms of fentanyl powder, and over 141 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 2: fifteen hundred kilograms of marijuana as they were conducting these interdictions. 142 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 2: And the DOJ's Inspector General had concluded that the Biden 143 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 2: administration DEA was not following these policies that are put 144 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 2: in place, and we should be using every federal agency 145 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 2: and everything that we have in order to conduct these 146 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 2: searches and to keep these drugs from coming into the kind. 147 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: Is there anything else that you would like to see 148 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: on the congressional specifically Senate side, a congressional side to 149 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 1: help with border related efforts. Is there anything else that 150 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: as a member of Congress you could help get done, 151 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: because it's great what Trump has done so far, but 152 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,080 Speaker 1: it feels like legislation could always help, or maybe in 153 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: this case it could help. 154 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 2: Well, we do need legislation because we need to codify 155 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 2: the actions of the president, and we need to make 156 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 2: certain that we go back to building the wall so 157 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 2: that we deter that entry on the southern border. And 158 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 2: we have to turn our attention to the northern border 159 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 2: with Canada. When you look at the amount of fintannol 160 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 2: that was apprehended not by Canadian manted police but by 161 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 2: the US border patrol up there on that northern border, 162 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 2: it was enough to kill nearly fifty million people. And 163 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 2: we know that the drug traffickers are now changing their 164 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 2: route and they're going up to the Canadian border and 165 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 2: then coming back down into the US.

I'm gonna tell you this 250 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 1: right now. I look this up, and the best information 251 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: that I can find online is that this is not 252 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 1: in fact a question of mispronouncing one way or the other, 253 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 1: but it is whether you prefer to speak in the English, 254 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: UK English or American English version of this. So over 255 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 1: in the UK, where they started the language, they say tournament. 256 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 1: Here in America, it is more common to say tournament, 257 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: but I would say it's a bit like theata and theater. 258 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 1: You can say it either way and it's still English 259 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: and it's still the way that people pronounce the words. 260 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 1: So it's a tomato tomato pronunciation police tomato now. But 261 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 1: you know what annoys me about that one? No one 262 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 1: actually does anyone say tomato. I don't. I've never heard 263 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 1: anyone say tomato. So that whole thing probably is not 264 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: actually helping my argument. But some of you are like, oh, 265 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 1: Bucky pronunciation. You know, this is what happens. Pronunciation police 266 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: go after Clay. That's way more fun. He gets all 267 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: twangy sometimes and says crazy things. But yeah, I know 268 00:16:58,400 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: you guys. You guys have been lighting me up today. 269 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 1: So I did want to give give fair airtime on 270 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 1: that one. And look, I'm going to come back here 271 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 1: in a second and talk a little bit about the 272 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 1: the efforts of doge Elon Musk and what's going on 273 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 1: on that Secretor of the Economy, because you know, it 274 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 1: was really important when we talked to Jim Jordan the 275 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: last hour, Congressman Jordan that he said there needs to 276 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 1: be a recision bill. Remember, Elon is really just identifying 277 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 1: what should be cut. He's identifying the fat that should 278 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: be cut, and it has to be done by Congress 279 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 1: for it to really stick. And so that's a very 280 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 1: important component of this. And Democrats are still enraged at Elon, 281 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 1: number Elon his influence. First of all, what is Elon 282 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,399 Speaker 1: like fifty? Is that right? How old is Elon fifty 283 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 1: to fifty five? Something like that? I would say, I 284 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 1: think these early fifties they're worried he's going to be 285 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,119 Speaker 1: around for a long time, making the Communists miserable. So 286 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,360 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk more about this. This is a program 287 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 1: that welcomes state lovers.

And there's like at least a dozen, probably 338 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:49,159 Speaker 1: more like twenty different specific ways that people speak English 339 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,679 Speaker 1: in the United Kingdom that are recognizable to other people. 340 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: And that's not even that's not even adding in the 341 00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 1: languages like Gaelic and Welsh and these things which are 342 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: you know, been around for thousands of years. So yeah, 343 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: I definitely want to go spend some time over there, 344 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,880 Speaker 1: looking forward to that, looking forward to getting that done. 345 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about Elon here for a second. 346 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: Talk about what's going on with Elon Musk the company 347 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 1: Tesla and I know today, Oh you know here, here's 348 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:23,439 Speaker 1: before I get into Elon, before I get into Elon. Uh, 349 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 1: don't look at your form on Ky today. Don't you 350 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:31,919 Speaker 1: know that's a long term thing, right, that's a long 351 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:36,160 Speaker 1: term play. Don't don't look at your just you want 352 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 1: to let these things play out over time. It's about 353 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,679 Speaker 1: the long game, not the short game. And just don't 354 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,920 Speaker 1: fall into it because the worst thing that people do 355 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 1: is they go, oh my gosh when they start to panic, 356 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 1: and then there's more panic, and then and and then 357 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: you have people that understand the cycles of this stuff 358 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 1: and they just start buying up things when the price drops. 359 00:21:58,560 --> 00:21:59,919 Speaker 1: Don't take mine work. If you go listen to one 360 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 1: of it, listen to what he's saying on this stuff. 361 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 1: You know, yeah, I could things get a little bit choppy, sure, 362 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 1: but that doesn't mean that the fundamentals of America as 363 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: the best country to invest in with the best companies 364 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 1: in the world has actually changed. And if anything, I'm 365 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: very optimistic about what this will do once Trump gets 366 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:21,719 Speaker 1: things gets things going. So just saying there's all this 367 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: panic out there, I know, I actually here you go, 368 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:29,120 Speaker 1: here's here's Uh. Well, no, I don't want to get 369 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 1: into it. We already talked about it as those people. 370 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,640 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it's so much worse than I ever 371 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 1: thought was possible. You know, it's okay, it's it's all 372 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 1: going to uh it's it's all going to make sense. 373 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,239 Speaker 1: And you know Trump will adjust too. This is this 374 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 1: is not anything that has been done that is it 375 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,880 Speaker 1: cannot be undone. This isn't like we invaded some country 376 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,400 Speaker 1: in bombed a city to smithereens it's like, well, maybe 377 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:55,120 Speaker 1: we shouldn't have done that. Uh, he's negotiating with these 378 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: different countries, the tariffs there's there's uh, there's flux, there's 379 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,879 Speaker 1: flow here of what's going to be going on. So 380 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 1: it's all good. I'm just here to tell you See, 381 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,159 Speaker 1: if I wanted to just get attention, I'd say, oh 382 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:11,439 Speaker 1: my gosh, what's going on the markets. I'd make it. 383 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 1: Make it like that scene in Ghostbusters where Staypuff has 384 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 1: exploded and there's marshmallow falling from the sky, like melted 385 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,639 Speaker 1: marshmallow falling from the sky, and everybody, you know what 386 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 1: I mean, I could I could take that approach to this. Oh, 387 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 1: the markets and the marshmallows. It's fine, it's all fine, 388 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,879 Speaker 1: It's gonna be all right. The people in charge know 389 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,479 Speaker 1: if Joe Biden and I think this is really going 390 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,880 Speaker 1: to resonate with all of you, if Joe Biden, who 391 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 1: they admit, and I'm actually gonna do a buck brief 392 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 1: on this right after the show, so you should check. 393 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,120 Speaker 1: You should check it out, subscribe on YouTube buck Brief. 394 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 1: It's a little extra thing that I do after the show. 395 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,120 Speaker 1: Here and go check it out. It's in the podcast 396 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 1: network too. I'll do a whole thing on this. But 397 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,919 Speaker 1: Joe Biden, they're now full on saying we had to 398 00:23:55,960 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 1: create little visual cues on the stage for him neon 399 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 1: tape because he didn't know where to walk. And they 400 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 1: said he didn't They said he truly did not know 401 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 1: who he was the day of the debate, And they're 402 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,199 Speaker 1: not They're saying he actually didn't know who he was 403 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 1: at one point his brain had stopped being able to 404 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 1: process who are you. They let that guy be commander 405 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 1: in chief for four years, They let him be the 406 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 1: head of the executive branch for four years. They lied 407 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 1: to us about it. We all know they're disgraceful. But 408 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: if that imbecile and his socialist cronies around him were 409 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 1: not able to tank the US economy, I assure you 410 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:45,920 Speaker 1: Donald Trump, the mega capitalist, multi billionaire, you know, international 411 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 1: brand builder, and he's not going to be the one 412 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:55,200 Speaker 1: that tanks the US economy. Okay, I'm not saying it's 413 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: going to be perfect, you know, to like I said today, 414 00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: I don't look at things, but if Joe Biden didn't 415 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,119 Speaker 1: just the economy, there's zero chance in my mind that 416 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 1: Donald Trump's going to destroy the economy. And I think 417 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 1: that the overwhelming likelihood is you're gonna see an economic boom. 418 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,439 Speaker 1: And you know what, they're gonna say, get ready for 419 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:14,120 Speaker 1: this when the economy and you know what I'm going 420 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 1: to say too, but we should just say it out 421 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:19,680 Speaker 1: loud together. Ready, Oh, it's because of all the things 422 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:23,879 Speaker 1: that the Democrats did before Trump took office. If whether 423 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 1: it's in three months or six months or or you know, 424 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 1: right before the midterms, when things start to really cook, 425 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,159 Speaker 1: when things start to really look good, you're gonna hear 426 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:38,160 Speaker 1: them all. Who look at the price of eggs before 427 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 1: Trump came in was already going down. The price of 428 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 1: eggs was going down, and it was all Biden, you know, 429 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,679 Speaker 1: when he knew where he was, which was not often. 430 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 1: But they'll say anything, but I want you to be 431 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 1: prepared for They'll never admit that they're wrong, is the 432 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 1: point here, So don't ever expect self correction for them. 433 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:59,639 Speaker 1: The Democrat mindset is incapable of self correction, and so 434 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:03,200 Speaker 1: on the economy, that's exactly where things will be. Okay, 435 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 1: now we can get into the Elon thing. I just 436 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,199 Speaker 1: I wanted to get that off my chest because I 437 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 1: know I'm gonna get emails this weekend. Oh I'm so 438 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 1: worried and all my retirement accounts and I'm gonna be fine. 439 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 1: Look at the look at the stock market even under 440 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 1: even under now. Part of the problem is that the 441 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,879 Speaker 1: stock market was getting propped up by all the money 442 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 1: printing that was going on, and asset prices were going up, 443 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 1: which is crushing the middle class. You see, Trump understands 444 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 1: all these mechanisms. Part of the problem is that if 445 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: your work for wages instead of owning assets, that will 446 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 1: get inflated by all of the money sloshing around that's 447 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 1: being created by the government through the overspending and the 448 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: quantitative easing policies. Uh, yeah, it's rough for if you're 449 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 1: working for wages for a living, which a vast majority 450 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:52,160 Speaker 1: of Americans do. If you have a lot of money 451 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,120 Speaker 1: in the stock market, if you own a lot of properties, yeah, 452 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,160 Speaker 1: then your asset values get increased and you don't care 453 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 1: about the cost of to day items because it doesn't 454 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 1: affect you enough to make any difference. And so this 455 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 1: this makes things harder for the vast majority, but it 456 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,679 Speaker 1: elevates the elites. And then you have so many elites 457 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 1: turn around and say, what do you mean the economy's great? Well, 458 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,159 Speaker 1: hold on is it? How is it great? 459 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 2: Uh? 460 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,680 Speaker 1: And and look at all of the ways that people are. 461 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 1: I mean, the easiest way to put this is, you 462 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:27,199 Speaker 1: can afford under Biden from the beginning to the end, 463 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:31,359 Speaker 1: you could afford half the house. You could before Biden 464 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 1: came into office. By the time when inflation kicked up, 465 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:37,159 Speaker 1: half the house based on the rates. Think about that 466 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 1: for a moment. So if you could afford, you know, 467 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 1: really nice four or five hundred thousand dollars home in 468 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,680 Speaker 1: a in an you know, in a like a nice 469 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 1: suburb somewhere some community want to live in whatever, Now 470 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 1: you can afford a two hundred, two hundred fifty thousand dollars. 471 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,400 Speaker 1: That's a big difference, isn't it. What changed? Your job 472 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 1: didn't change. Did your job start paying you fifty percent 473 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:00,879 Speaker 1: more because of us? 474 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 2: No? 475 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:05,639 Speaker 1: What changed is the system. What changed is the tax 476 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:10,879 Speaker 1: on savers and wage earners that comes from the inflation 477 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 1: that was imposed on us by the people controlling the 478 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:18,120 Speaker 1: spigots at the top, who don't really care about what 479 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 1: the inflation does, what inflation does to the cost of goods, 480 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 1: because they have enough wealth already that it doesn't affect 481 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,199 Speaker 1: them in any meaningful way. Or they work for the government, 482 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 1: or they work for the federal government. They're making one 483 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,480 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty grand to do nothing, to not even 484 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:37,159 Speaker 1: show up. That's a pretty nice gig. Think about that. 485 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 1: Think of all these they all vote Democrat. As you've now, 486 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 1: we've all figured this out, right. You think of all 487 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 1: the dual income DC based households where you have two 488 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 1: people that are making let's say, roughly one hundred and 489 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 1: fifty grand each, probably not doing much of anything and 490 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 1: working for the Education Department and working for the USAID 491 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 1: thousand take home pay plus amazing benefits to not do anything. 492 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 1: I mean, think about what a great gig that is, right, 493 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 1: Think about a great gig that is people think, you know, media, 494 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 1: when you do well and you build over time is great. 495 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 1: I'll just be honest with you about this Media is 496 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I love this job. It is a privilege, 497 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 1: and Clay and I feel this way every day we 498 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 1: truly do.

This is going back to the early 510 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 1: days of my career, and I was happy to do 511 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 1: it because I wanted to prove that I could do 512 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 1: this and build an audience.

Right Imagine that world, and 522 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 1: then you can go into the world of you have 523 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 1: amazing health care you basically pay nothing for that covers everything, 524 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 1: and you have three or four weeks of paid time 525 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 1: off a year at least, and you work from home 526 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 1: and you're making three hundred graand between you and your spouse, 527 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 1: you have no real work product expected of you, and 528 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:49,080 Speaker 1: you're unfireable.

That is what is the 530 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 1: monetary value of that? And this is why they get 531 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 1: so upset at Elon, and this is why they hate 532 00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 1: Dog so much, and they're trying so hard to make 533 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 1: everybody you know upset about what is going on with this.

And they're going after Elon and AOC will 537 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 1: refuse to say that the Democrats completely demonizing this guy 538 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 1: has anything to do with the fact that maniacs are 539 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,080 Speaker 1: torching Tesla's. This has cut twenty one. 540 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 6: Do you see a connection at all between the rhetoric 541 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 6: we're hearing from Democrats on Musk and Tesla connection to 542 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 6: the violence at all?
