It 175 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 1: was cathartic, it was. 176 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 14: It was syndicated worldwide, by the way, that's what's amazing 177 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:54,439 Speaker 14: about him. 178 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 15: Syndicated worldwide. 179 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 14: So it was a phenomenon of the workplace that emerged 180 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 14: in the eighties and nineties, probably in the s and 181 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 14: what people also probably don't know about Scott as he 182 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 14: authored a bunch of best selling books on persuasion, persuasion systems, 183 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 14: thinking personal success. 184 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: It just really great. God's why I talked to Scott. 185 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 15: On the phone. 186 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 14: I never met him in person. I talked to him 187 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 14: on the phone. A couple of times. I was on 188 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 14: the phone with Scott and Charlie, believe it or not. 189 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 14: We were talking about maybe getting him on the show, 190 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 14: how it could work together. Nothing ended up becoming of 191 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 14: those conversations, but you know, Scott did honor Charlie when Charlie. 192 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 15: Was killed, and we did that. He did we have 193 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 15: that clip. 194 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: Let's make sure we have the right one here, because 195 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 1: there were a few. Yeah, So this was He was 196 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: on Tucker's program shortly after and he was commenting on it. 197 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: So this is I can't imagine Adams ever thought he 198 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: would outlift Charlie, but this is what he had to say. 199 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: Clip two thirty nine. 200 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 16: When Charlie Kirk died, you could almost feel this massive 201 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,559 Speaker 16: energy being really least, you know, he sort of controlled it, 202 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 16: but when it was released, you know, his his mortal 203 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 16: coil was no more. I feel like that energy just 204 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 16: went into people and suddenly tens of millions of people 205 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 16: simultaneously said what can I do? What can I do 206 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 16: right now? 207 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 4: That's different. 208 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 16: People don't say I'm going to stop everything, tell me 209 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 16: what to do. 210 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 4: I'm going to go to church. 211 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 16: A lot of people did, I'm going to say stuff 212 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 16: on social media. I'm going to hunt down the people 213 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 16: who said bad things and cancel them. 214 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,199 Speaker 10: But I'm going to do something. 215 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 16: You know, We're going to figure out how to start 216 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 16: another chapter of you know, tp USA, and all of 217 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 16: that's happening, and it doesn't seem to be slowing down, 218 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 16: you know, the vigils, et cetera. If anything, the energy, 219 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 16: it might be growing. And I've never seen anything like 220 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 16: it in my life. I've never seen the Republicans turned 221 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 16: into their own machine. 222 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 4: And that it is. 223 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 14: And what's most important, I think as well, is that 224 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 14: Scott was wrestling with his own mortality towards the end. 225 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 15: You know. C. S. 226 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 14: Lewis would talk about how a soldier in a foxhole actually, 227 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 14: you know, because he was reflecting on World War One. 228 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 14: He was a veteran of World War One and he 229 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 14: was he was doing a lot of his writings and 230 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 14: his thinking in World War Two, and he said that 231 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 14: it can be a blessing to be faced with your 232 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 14: own mortality and to understand that you, as a soldier, 233 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 14: you might die, and to confront the almighty and to 234 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 14: make peace. And Scott was sort of that soldier on 235 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 14: a field in a cultural sense, in a media sense, 236 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 14: and he was staring down the sickness he had metastatic 237 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 14: cross state. 238 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 15: Can spread to his bones. 239 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 14: Yeah, and so he was dealing with the fact that 240 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 14: he knew he was probably gonna die. 241 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 1: He said it, I'm going We're all going to die, yes. 242 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 14: But imminently right and so uh and that could be 243 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 14: a real blessing. And so Scott was wrestling with his 244 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 14: own mortality and was never a believer, was never a Christian. 245 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 15: He had great respect for Christians, but he was not himself. 246 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 14: And so we have two clips where he himself was 247 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 14: describing this two thirty seven. 248 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 12: My Christian friends and Christian followers save me, Scott, do 249 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 12: you still have time? You should convert to Christianity? And 250 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 12: I usually just let that sit because that's. 251 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 10: Not an argument I want to have. 252 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:32,319 Speaker 12: I've now been a believer. But I also have respect 253 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 12: for any Christian who goes out of their way to 254 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 12: try to convert me, because how would I believe you 255 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 12: believe your own religion if you're not trying to convert me. 256 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 12: So I have great respect for people who care enough 257 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 12: that they want me to convert and then go another 258 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 12: way to try to convince me. So you're here for 259 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 12: the first time today that it is my plan to convert. 260 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 15: And that's that's a very Scott Adams to do it. 261 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 1: It's such an I'm a I'm a tech autist kind 262 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: of exactly. 263 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 14: It's like an engineer, you know, doing it and only 264 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 14: the way he can. And and I my word to 265 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 14: everybody that's like you know that might think that you know, 266 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 14: this isn't that's not an authentic way to convert. I 267 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 14: would just say everybody's different. God makes us in mysterious ways. 268 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 14: I actually the last DM I sent to Scott was 269 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 14: the parable of the workers in the vineyard, and we 270 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 14: wanted to read this really quick. For the Kingdom of 271 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 14: Heaven is like the landowner who went out early in 272 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 14: the morning to hire workers for his vineyard. He agreed 273 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,200 Speaker 14: to pay them a denarius for the day and sent 274 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 14: them into his vineyard. About nine in the morning, he 275 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 14: went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing. 276 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 14: He told them, you also go and work in my 277 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:47,679 Speaker 14: vineyard and I will pay you whatever is right. 278 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:48,320 Speaker 15: So they went. 279 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 14: He went out again about noon and about three in 280 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 14: the afternoon and did the same thing. About five in 281 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 14: the afternoon he went out and found still others standing around. 282 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 14: He asked them, why have you been standing here all 283 00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 14: day doing nothing? Because no one has hired us? They answered, 284 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 14: He said to them, you also go and work in 285 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 14: my vineyard. When evening came, the owner of the vineyard 286 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 14: said to his foreman, call the workers and pay them 287 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 14: their wages, beginning with the last ones hired, and going 288 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 14: to the first. 289 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:11,719 Speaker 15: The workers who were. 290 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 14: Hired about five in the afternoon came and each received 291 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 14: a dnarius. So when those came who were hired first, 292 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 14: they expected to receive more. But each one of them 293 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 14: also received a denarius. When they received it, they began 294 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 14: to grumble against the landowner. These who were hired last 295 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 14: worked only one hour, they said, and you have made 296 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 14: them equal to us, who have borne the burden of 297 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 14: work for the. 298 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 15: Heat of the day. But he answered to them, I 299 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 15: am not being unfair to you. Friend. 300 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 14: Didn't you agree to work for a denarius? Take your 301 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 14: pay and go. I want to give the one who 302 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 14: has hired last the same as I gave you. 303 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 15: We'll be right back. So we are back. 304 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 14: I want to finish reading that scripture, but I'm just 305 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 14: I have to share this.

Before long, murder will be legal. And 343 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,439 Speaker 1: then it shows him talking to his cowork afterwards. That 344 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 1: was the best mandatory meeting I've ever been to. They 345 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 1: hands it out free cash. Shut up, it's funny. 346 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 9: He's good. 347 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 14: I was never like really that into cartoons, but I 348 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 14: was really into like you know it was. 349 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,120 Speaker 1: One of it was we read like three of them 350 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 1: and that was one of them. Yeah, well there's not 351 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: a lot. There's a lot of them are really bad. 352 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 1: I do they still exist? I guess do newspapers still exist? 353 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 15: They do? 354 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:29,639 Speaker 1: They do exist? 355 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 15: Blake, It's yeah, there are newspapers. Listen. 356 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 14: I I want to I just want to remember that, uh, 357 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 14: that Scott took a great personal toll for this, and 358 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 14: and you know, I I the way the verse ends 359 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 14: with the parable of the workers in the vineyard is 360 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,920 Speaker 14: that you know the first will be last and the 361 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 14: last will be first. And so Scott Scott came to 362 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 14: his face faith almost at the end, almost as like 363 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:02,920 Speaker 14: Pascal's wager. And maybe Blake, if you want to describe 364 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 14: that for the audiences, Oh yeah, so he does. 365 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 1: Then there's another clip where he's more forth right about 366 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 1: it even that so Blaze. Pascal was a French mathematician 367 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,920 Speaker 1: who laid out an argument that basically, you should embrace theism, 368 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 1: you should embrace Christianity because the rewards of eternal life 369 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,640 Speaker 1: are great and the if you're wrong, you lose. You're 370 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,680 Speaker 1: just worm food, so you lose nothing. Now, the funny 371 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: thing is Pascal a very logical man himself did not 372 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 1: convert for that reason. He had a religious experience one night, 373 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,359 Speaker 1: like just had a divine vision and he was a 374 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 1: super Christian after that. But it's an argument that has 375 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,399 Speaker 1: a lot of it's debated a lot, certainly among you know, 376 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 1: computer programmer types. 377 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 15: Well, this is what exactly what Scott Adams is. 378 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 14: Is sort of an engineering brain, a contrarian thinker, and 379 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 14: so he did he did sort of wrestle with the 380 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 14: risk reward analysis. And some people might say that's not authentic. 381 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 14: I think it was the most authentic way Scott could 382 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,440 Speaker 14: approach faith that he struggled to embrace his whole life. 383 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 15: And so I would just say welcome, welcome to the fold. 384 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 14: You know, honor to have you, Scott, and you know, 385 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,880 Speaker 14: may you rest in peace, and we expect to see 386 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 14: you someday. 387 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 15: And I hope you say hi to Charlie for us 388 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:08,159 Speaker 15: up there. 389 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,640 Speaker 1: He was the man in the arena. That's all those 390 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 1: attacks on him. You think of that Theodore Roosevelt quote. 391 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: I know Charlie was a fan of it. It's not 392 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 1: the critic who counts. It's the man who's in the arena, 393 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 1: the man who is marred by dust and sweat and blood. 394 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: Who strives valiantly, that's the man who matters, and that's 395 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,120 Speaker 1: what he was doing. He could be attacked by people 396 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,439 Speaker 1: because he bothered to say something that was relevant and 397 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: controversial period. 398 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 15: Yep, exactly. 399 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,120 Speaker 14: And you know, I think it was Matt Walsh who said, 400 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,879 Speaker 14: you know, especially in the aftermath of Charlie's death, and 401 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 14: he was reflecting on all the attacks against Charlie from 402 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 14: the left or whatever, and he basically was just like, 403 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:49,640 Speaker 14: may we all experience May our enemies rejoice when we die, 404 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 14: because that means we were truly effective. And the fact 405 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,640 Speaker 14: that they just like the pettiness of it, I think 406 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 14: just makes them disgrace till the creator. I think it 407 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,439 Speaker 14: makes them look disgraceful. The only party just grace in 408 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 14: this instance is people, all right? 409 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:03,119 Speaker 15: That is it? 410 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 14: The fact that you could just say, Gilbert creator Scott 411 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 14: Adams dies at sixty eight. 412 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,679 Speaker 15: Why couldn't you just go with that, I guess not. 413 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 1: In famous cartoonist, famous cultural commentator. 414 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 14: Well yeah, I mean, like, for real, he and obviously 415 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 14: he means a lot to a lot of people. 416 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 15: We're mourning him.

So they did correct the record there, but 841 00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:24,759 Speaker 14: it was a lie from the from the go. 842 00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:26,120 Speaker 15: What are you hearing, sir? 843 00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:29,279 Speaker 18: Well, first of all, there are several people that play 844 00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:33,040 Speaker 18: a good role between the White House and the Senate. 845 00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:35,360 Speaker 18: I mean, the President has many friends, and I'm just 846 00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:38,640 Speaker 18: lucky enough to be called one of them. So first 847 00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:42,840 Speaker 18: of all, what Sancretary of hex Seth has said multiple times, 848 00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:46,759 Speaker 18: mess around to find out. I'm clear, I'm cleaning that 849 00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:48,279 Speaker 18: up because my wife'd be mad at me if I 850 00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:49,040 Speaker 18: said the other thing. 851 00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:53,960 Speaker 14: So our distributors of this program, yes, yes, right. 852 00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:57,080 Speaker 18: So see, I'm being very nice, and the President has 853 00:41:57,080 --> 00:42:01,000 Speaker 18: made it very clear that he will be willing to 854 00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:07,040 Speaker 18: protect the people of Iran if the murderous regime there 855 00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:10,680 Speaker 18: in Iran decide they're going to kill people in mass 856 00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:12,719 Speaker 18: and what that mass number is, I don't know what 857 00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:15,400 Speaker 18: the presence tolerance is, but I will tell you the 858 00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:18,880 Speaker 18: present doesn't bluff. And he's proven that he is not 859 00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:21,920 Speaker 18: afraid of Iran. He's not afraid of going in and 860 00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:25,879 Speaker 18: we've proven we have the capability to destroy their air 861 00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:29,719 Speaker 18: defense system and to strike any time, anywhere. And he 862 00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,000 Speaker 18: was made it very clear that he could have taken 863 00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,960 Speaker 18: out the leadership if he wanted to, but he decided 864 00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:39,520 Speaker 18: not to. And so I wouldn't be surprised if you 865 00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:43,720 Speaker 18: see some military action in defense of the Iranian people. 866 00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:46,759 Speaker 18: And I like to say this, in nineteen seventy seven 867 00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:49,439 Speaker 18: when I was born, Iran was a friend of us. 868 00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:52,200 Speaker 18: In fact, they were probably more Western advanced in the 869 00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:56,440 Speaker 18: United States than it was to accepting women and workplaces 870 00:42:56,600 --> 00:43:04,120 Speaker 18: and in to government and actually into and ethnic groups too. 871 00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:09,520 Speaker 18: This current regime is destroyed all that, and we'd love 872 00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:11,680 Speaker 18: to have a relationship back with their running people. 873 00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:13,160 Speaker 10: I think we have a lot in common. 874 00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:15,600 Speaker 18: There was a lot of business relationships that was between 875 00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:19,080 Speaker 18: Iran and the United States prior to nineteen seventy nine, 876 00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,399 Speaker 18: the overthrow of Shawl, And so. 877 00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:24,520 Speaker 10: I believe the president is. 878 00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:31,480 Speaker 18: Actively looking at at at his position and what is 879 00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:34,120 Speaker 18: the best way to support the people wanting to take 880 00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:35,360 Speaker 18: back their country in Iran. 881 00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:39,719 Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean, and listen, I I just you know, 882 00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:42,440 Speaker 14: we obviously support the people of Iran. We want independence, 883 00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:44,000 Speaker 14: we want them to thrive, we want them to throw 884 00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:46,880 Speaker 14: off these brutal dictators, want them to do it Canada 885 00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:48,320 Speaker 14: on this show, and I can tell you our audience 886 00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:52,120 Speaker 14: feels the same. I mean, you know, military action in 887 00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:55,360 Speaker 14: another foreign, far away Middle Eastern land, it's not like Venezuela, 888 00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,879 Speaker 14: Western Hemisphere, Monroe Donroe Doctrine. I think there's a there's 889 00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,759 Speaker 14: a broad basis of port for Venezuela. It's I think 890 00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:04,960 Speaker 14: less so for Iran. So I hope that you know, 891 00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,360 Speaker 14: I'm by the way, I'm all four cutting off the 892 00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:10,400 Speaker 14: oil flow, you know, the revenue from the CCP to Iran. 893 00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:13,040 Speaker 14: I think that's absolutely what we should do. Moral support. 894 00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:16,880 Speaker 14: Maybe there's some stuff that you know, off the books, maneuvering, 895 00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:18,920 Speaker 14: behind the scenes, that needs to happen with our special 896 00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:21,640 Speaker 14: ops guys or whatever I'm open to. I just you know, 897 00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:25,160 Speaker 14: I want to be cautious because regime change is messy. 898 00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:27,680 Speaker 14: It's always messy, and it's proven in the Middle East 899 00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:30,120 Speaker 14: more so than ever. But I will say there does 900 00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:33,799 Speaker 14: seem to be a legitimate, organic popular uprising. There is 901 00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:37,120 Speaker 14: this the son of the former Shah that it seems 902 00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:39,520 Speaker 14: like we had a guest on yesterday, Senator that has 903 00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:42,040 Speaker 14: a lot of support from the protesters movement. I have 904 00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:44,560 Speaker 14: no idea if he has a majority of support within 905 00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:47,600 Speaker 14: the country, but it does seem to indicate there are 906 00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:50,799 Speaker 14: some elements that are aligning for a real massive change 907 00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:51,520 Speaker 14: in Iran. 908 00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:53,800 Speaker 10: Well, a regime change. 909 00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:56,399 Speaker 18: This is much different than the regime change you saw 910 00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:59,280 Speaker 18: underneath a Secretary Clinton who had the air of Spring, 911 00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:03,640 Speaker 18: which met left the Middle East in complete disarray, versus 912 00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:06,600 Speaker 18: what's happening in Iran. This isn't This is an organic 913 00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:08,920 Speaker 18: group that has right risen up. And when anytime you 914 00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:11,920 Speaker 18: have these organic groups or someone be it the Shawl 915 00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:15,400 Speaker 18: Sun or not, you know there's difference of opinions. If 916 00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:17,440 Speaker 18: he's popular or not popular. I'd say he's not actually 917 00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:20,360 Speaker 18: that popular. But anytime you see a movement like this 918 00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:24,880 Speaker 18: leadership intents, you know, intends to move to the front. 919 00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:28,120 Speaker 18: And this is the people, not the United States trying 920 00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:30,200 Speaker 18: to have regime change. This is the people that's had 921 00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:32,360 Speaker 18: in the regime change. We're there to support the people 922 00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:35,640 Speaker 18: and the event that they start being slaughtered by their 923 00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:40,480 Speaker 18: own regime. Now to pivot back to pre to to 924 00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:45,439 Speaker 18: to a vice president jad Evans, I will tell you 925 00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:49,080 Speaker 18: there is no daylight. There's open discussions, but no daylight 926 00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:51,040 Speaker 18: when the decision is made between the. 927 00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:54,400 Speaker 10: President and JD. Evans. They have a great relationship. 928 00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:59,400 Speaker 18: Marco and our secretary Rubio and and the Vice President 929 00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:01,759 Speaker 18: have a great reship, but they also have such a 930 00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:04,680 Speaker 18: good relationship that they can have an open discussion, but 931 00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:07,680 Speaker 18: when the decision is made, when the play call is made, 932 00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:10,799 Speaker 18: they are together. And that's the whole present team. What 933 00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:13,560 Speaker 18: the president allows people to do is express his opinion. 934 00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:16,000 Speaker 18: I visit with the President most time when he's asking 935 00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,560 Speaker 18: me a question, what do you think about this? And 936 00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:22,760 Speaker 18: he's truly inquisitive. But when he decides to make a decision, 937 00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:24,040 Speaker 18: actually hears everybody out. 938 00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:25,720 Speaker 10: He decides and he moves. 939 00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:28,719 Speaker 18: And that's what's so good about this administration. 940 00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:30,600 Speaker 10: Is that when they move, they moved together. 941 00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:34,360 Speaker 18: And JD has been very open about his position sometime 942 00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:38,560 Speaker 18: on the use of military force. But he is probably 943 00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:40,719 Speaker 18: one of the smartest guys you'll set down and talk 944 00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:44,240 Speaker 18: to when he's truly wanting to get to the facts. 945 00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:47,320 Speaker 18: He's not a guy that makes decisions off emotions. JD 946 00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:51,080 Speaker 18: makes decisions off of facts, and he can change his 947 00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:53,359 Speaker 18: opinion because of that. That's why I have so much 948 00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:54,120 Speaker 18: respect for the guy. 949 00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:54,959 Speaker 15: I totally agree. 950 00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:56,880 Speaker 14: I mean, there's they're going to try and drum up 951 00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,040 Speaker 14: a lot of drama because twenty twenty eight is looming. 952 00:46:59,040 --> 00:46:59,600 Speaker 15: That's all it is. 953 00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:01,400 Speaker 1: Okay, just yes, of course. 954 00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:03,600 Speaker 14: Senator, thank you for your time.

Obviously in Detroit, 969 00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:54,920 Speaker 17: you gotta talk about the automobile industry. 970 00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:58,480 Speaker 20: I would think, absolutely true, Terrence. 971 00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:01,200 Speaker 21: But he's buoyed by some great umbers that came out today. 972 00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:02,880 Speaker 21: We heard him talk about it before he got an 973 00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:05,520 Speaker 21: Air Force one headed for Detroit today. That is, the 974 00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:08,760 Speaker 21: inflation numbers are two point seven percent. This is coupled 975 00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,520 Speaker 21: with five point four percent GDP growth in December. Pretty 976 00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:13,760 Speaker 21: good numbers for the President to say, Look, the tariffs 977 00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:16,120 Speaker 21: didn't destroy anything. They're doing well for us. He's going 978 00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:19,120 Speaker 21: to certainly be talking about those numbers. Hey, he'll talk 979 00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:21,319 Speaker 21: about his tour at the Ford Motor Plant because one 980 00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:23,560 Speaker 21: of the things they're not building there is the Ford Lightning. 981 00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:26,359 Speaker 21: That was the all EV F one to fifty pickup truck. 982 00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:28,720 Speaker 21: It was canceled here at the end of twenty twenty 983 00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:31,400 Speaker 21: five by Ford. They wrote off about nineteen billion dollars 984 00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:34,839 Speaker 21: because the EV experiment, if you will, did not. 985 00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:36,080 Speaker 20: Go over well with consumers. 986 00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:39,120 Speaker 21: People in places like Michigan, frankly, where you've got winter 987 00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:41,920 Speaker 21: a lot of it. They don't want to rely on batteries. 988 00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:44,200 Speaker 21: They want gasoline, they want d s. I'm sure that's 989 00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:46,319 Speaker 21: what the president's learning today at the Ford Plan. So 990 00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:48,399 Speaker 21: a lot of good numbers for the President talk about. 991 00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:52,600 Speaker 21: I'm sure we'll also hear about things like Venezuela, maybe Greenland. 992 00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:55,480 Speaker 21: You know, he might just do the weave here today. 993 00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:57,839 Speaker 21: Brian's familiar with that. He does the weave, and he'll 994 00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:00,319 Speaker 21: get a lot of topics covered at different times when 995 00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:03,200 Speaker 21: he goes off script, which is always a possibility when 996 00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:04,960 Speaker 21: the President has the microphone. 997 00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:08,400 Speaker 17: Well, Brian, as the President, might bob and we or 998 00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:12,000 Speaker 17: weave in certain elements into his speech. I would imagine 999 00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:15,600 Speaker 17: that the ongoing Supreme Court case over men and women's 1000 00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:18,400 Speaker 17: sports will likely be something he addresses. 1001 00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:20,800 Speaker 1: Will Terrence. 1002 00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:22,800 Speaker 22: That has been one thing that has been talked about 1003 00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:25,640 Speaker 22: on the campaign trail, keeping men out of women's sports. 1004 00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:28,120 Speaker 22: And of course there was a bill passed just about 1005 00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:31,839 Speaker 22: a month ago banning the transgender surgeries on minors that 1006 00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:33,640 Speaker 22: needs to move on to the Senate. 1007 00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:34,799 Speaker 4: But I will add to this. 1008 00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:37,840 Speaker 22: I mean, Ford is seeing about a six percent sales 1009 00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:40,120 Speaker 22: increase from last year from. 1010 00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:40,759 Speaker 15: The previous year. 1011 00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:42,200 Speaker 4: So all the talk about. 1012 00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:46,520 Speaker 22: Tariffs maybe destroying the US auto industry, that simply has 1013 00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:49,239 Speaker 22: not happened. And of course President Trump has really been 1014 00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:51,879 Speaker 22: an advocate for the auto industry, and as you see 1015 00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:55,600 Speaker 22: him there in Detroit. Also, we talked about this at 1016 00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:57,319 Speaker 22: the end of last year, that this would be one 1017 00:49:57,320 --> 00:49:59,520 Speaker 22: of the things that President Trump will do going into 1018 00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:03,040 Speaker 22: the midterm. Do these economic mini rallies, if he will 1019 00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:06,000 Speaker 22: at manufacturing plants and corporate headquarters. And this is just 1020 00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:08,440 Speaker 22: a page out of that twenty twenty six playbook. 1021 00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:13,239 Speaker 17: You know, Steve, I'm wondering if President Trump, from your perspective, 1022 00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:17,040 Speaker 17: will be on the offensive today as he talks about 1023 00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:20,279 Speaker 17: say things like tariffs, talks about the economy. Obviously in 1024 00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:23,040 Speaker 17: the past he's talked about and really touted. 1025 00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:23,760 Speaker 4: What he's been doing. 1026 00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:27,000 Speaker 17: But unfortunately, there are many Americans who don't necessarily feel 1027 00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:29,920 Speaker 17: the impacts or don't believe they feel the impacts of 1028 00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:32,400 Speaker 17: the President's accomplishments. So do you think he'll be on 1029 00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:35,240 Speaker 17: the offensive or will he be defensive to some degree 1030 00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:38,360 Speaker 17: and explaining what all he's done. 1031 00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:39,440 Speaker 23: No. 1032 00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:42,399 Speaker 21: I think you'll see Donald Trump on the offensive today. Look, 1033 00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:44,439 Speaker 21: there are a lot of people hurting in this country still, 1034 00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:47,640 Speaker 21: there's no question about that. And he's going to say, look, 1035 00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:49,040 Speaker 21: it takes a lot of time to clean up a 1036 00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:50,000 Speaker 21: mass that I inherited. 1037 00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:52,200 Speaker 20: That will be the argument that he continues here today. 1038 00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:55,400 Speaker 21: Most likely, in my estimation, he's going to say, it 1039 00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:58,240 Speaker 21: doesn't happen overnight, but we had nine point one percent 1040 00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:00,879 Speaker 21: inflation with the Biden administration. It's a two point seven 1041 00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:03,479 Speaker 21: percent new numbers released today. He's going to say, look, 1042 00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:06,680 Speaker 21: three quarters in a row, four percent, four percent, and 1043 00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:09,799 Speaker 21: then five point four percent for December twenty twenty five. 1044 00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:12,080 Speaker 20: These are good numbers. He'll be here in Michigan. 1045 00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:14,840 Speaker 21: Look, this was the arsenal of democracy, a place for 1046 00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:18,200 Speaker 21: America's manufacturing heartbeat was felt every day. 1047 00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:20,280 Speaker 20: But a lot of those factories went away after NAFTA. 1048 00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:21,799 Speaker 20: We know that a lot. 1049 00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:25,360 Speaker 21: Of challenges with international trade that he's trying to refine 1050 00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:26,480 Speaker 21: and retune, if you will. 1051 00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:28,600 Speaker 20: So, I think you're going to hear him on the offensive. 1052 00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:29,880 Speaker 21: I think Donald Trump is going to be on the 1053 00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:33,319 Speaker 21: offensive until November of twenty twenty six, because he knows 1054 00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:36,480 Speaker 21: how important these midterms are. The Senate probably going to 1055 00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:38,680 Speaker 21: stay in Republican hands, but it's the House that is 1056 00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:43,080 Speaker 21: so so tight, raised within margins, so he'll be fighting 1057 00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:45,520 Speaker 21: for every congressional seat he can find. 1058 00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:49,080 Speaker 17: Brian Glynn Steve Gruber both reporting for us this afternoon. 1059 00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:50,000 Speaker 4: Good to see both of you. 1060 00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:52,640 Speaker 17: Steve will be talking to you throughout the day as 1061 00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:55,640 Speaker 17: Steve there in Detroit preparing to hear from the President. 1062 00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:58,319 Speaker 17: The President scheduled to speak at the top of the 1063 00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:00,480 Speaker 17: hour the moment he takes the podium.

So 1122 00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:48,080 Speaker 14: John welcome back to the Charlie Kirkshow it's great to 1123 00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:48,400 Speaker 14: have you. 1124 00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:50,799 Speaker 9: Yeah, thanks for having me back. 1125 00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:51,680 Speaker 15: Yeah. Absolutely. 1126 00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:54,880 Speaker 14: So, you know, Trump has this twenty five percent tariff 1127 00:54:55,320 --> 00:55:01,120 Speaker 14: announcement for anybody doing business with Iran. Simultaneous, there is 1128 00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:04,719 Speaker 14: a Scotus ruling that we're eagerly awaiting, probably tomorrow, whether 1129 00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:07,360 Speaker 14: or not he's even lawfully legally able to do this. 1130 00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:09,440 Speaker 15: Give us the update, please, So. 1131 00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:12,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, we're waiting, and it could come tomorrow. 1132 00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:16,800 Speaker 19: The Supreme Court never tells us in advance what decisions 1133 00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:19,000 Speaker 19: are going to announce. We think they want to get 1134 00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:21,759 Speaker 19: to this one pretty quickly. A lot of people thought 1135 00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:25,160 Speaker 19: it was going to be the end of last week 1136 00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:30,880 Speaker 19: or this It could be on Wednesday or Thursday, or 1137 00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:32,720 Speaker 19: it could be anytime in the next couple of weeks. 1138 00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:34,720 Speaker 4: One of the things that Trump's. 1139 00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:39,560 Speaker 19: Recent tariff announcement does so it shows how important tariffs. 1140 00:55:39,160 --> 00:55:40,560 Speaker 10: Can be to foreign policy. 1141 00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:43,080 Speaker 19: And this is one of the arguments for why the 1142 00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:48,720 Speaker 19: president should be able to impose tariffs on countries, because 1143 00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:51,799 Speaker 19: it is really important to our attempt to try to 1144 00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:59,600 Speaker 19: contain Iran and to use the the US's consumer market, 1145 00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:05,319 Speaker 19: which everybody in the world wants access to to you discipline. 1146 00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:05,560 Speaker 4: The rest of the world. 1147 00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:08,640 Speaker 19: If you're going to do business with Iran, you're going 1148 00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:12,399 Speaker 19: to have to pay a lot higher tariff to sell 1149 00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:15,640 Speaker 19: your stuff into the US. I think that's it actually 1150 00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:19,120 Speaker 19: really does strengthen his position that this is a core 1151 00:56:19,640 --> 00:56:23,520 Speaker 19: part of a president's ability to deal with the rest 1152 00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:26,120 Speaker 19: of the world, a core foreign policy power. 1153 00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:28,880 Speaker 14: Yeah, it strikes me, John, is this kind of like 1154 00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:32,160 Speaker 14: Trump's this this maverick. He's creative with the way he 1155 00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:35,960 Speaker 14: approaches foreign policy, and he implements these new techniques. They're 1156 00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:39,840 Speaker 14: not new, but certainly in modern American especially presidential history, 1157 00:56:40,120 --> 00:56:42,479 Speaker 14: he's using them in ways others haven't really done before. 1158 00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:44,279 Speaker 14: And he's being more public about it. He's being more 1159 00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:47,360 Speaker 14: brash about it. And because he's he's been creative with 1160 00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:51,120 Speaker 14: how he's wielded tariffs, he's now getting pumped public. 1161 00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:51,680 Speaker 15: Punished for it. 1162 00:56:51,719 --> 00:56:53,759 Speaker 14: They're coming after him saying, well, now we want to 1163 00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:55,440 Speaker 14: take that away from you because you're doing it in 1164 00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:57,239 Speaker 14: a way that we hadn't thought about before, and so 1165 00:56:57,320 --> 00:56:59,800 Speaker 14: we just want to pun punish Trump. But to your point, 1166 00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:03,080 Speaker 14: what happens if the Supreme Court rules against the Trump 1167 00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:07,799 Speaker 14: administration in this particular case, I've seen some reports that 1168 00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:10,080 Speaker 14: we have to pay back upwards of three hundred billion 1169 00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:11,720 Speaker 14: dollars in tariff revenue. 1170 00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:13,920 Speaker 15: Is this even feasible? Is as possible? Is this going 1171 00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:14,360 Speaker 15: to happen? 1172 00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:18,080 Speaker 19: I don't think the Supreme Court is likely to order 1173 00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:22,640 Speaker 19: the US government to pay back hundreds of billions in tariffs. 1174 00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:24,840 Speaker 4: Which is one of the reasons. Look, I've listened to 1175 00:57:25,080 --> 00:57:28,360 Speaker 4: the oral arguments. They were soup. 1176 00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:32,240 Speaker 19: The justices were super skeptical about whether or not Trump 1177 00:57:32,360 --> 00:57:36,040 Speaker 19: really does have the statutory authority because, as you point out, 1178 00:57:36,480 --> 00:57:38,840 Speaker 19: there's not a lot of precedent for this. The law 1179 00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:44,120 Speaker 19: that they're using, the International Emergency Economic Paratact is people 1180 00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:46,440 Speaker 19: call it AIPA, has. 1181 00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:48,080 Speaker 10: Never been used to impose terriffs. 1182 00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:52,400 Speaker 19: Ironically, everybody agrees that the president could sanction a country. 1183 00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:54,520 Speaker 19: You could even embargo countries. 1184 00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:56,280 Speaker 9: You can say you can't sell anything. 1185 00:57:56,600 --> 00:57:59,560 Speaker 19: But apparently their theory is that you can say you 1186 00:57:59,560 --> 00:58:02,160 Speaker 19: can completely shut off a country from access to the 1187 00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:06,240 Speaker 19: US market, but you can't charge a ten percent tariff 1188 00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:08,720 Speaker 19: for them to be able to sell into the US market. 1189 00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:09,760 Speaker 4: That seems wrong to me. 1190 00:58:10,040 --> 00:58:12,600 Speaker 19: But the Supreme Court was skeptical that Trump has this 1191 00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:16,040 Speaker 19: much authority. I don't think they rule that he that 1192 00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:18,680 Speaker 19: it all has to be paid back from the US Treasury. 1193 00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:21,800 Speaker 19: I think what they're most likely to do is come 1194 00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:24,600 Speaker 19: to some sort of compromise where they say, yes, the 1195 00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:28,880 Speaker 19: President can impose some tariffs, and but there's a you know, 1196 00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:30,280 Speaker 19: they might make up a time limit. 1197 00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:30,800 Speaker 4: It's called the. 1198 00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:33,320 Speaker 19: Emergency Powers Act. So maybe they say an emergency can't 1199 00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:36,000 Speaker 19: last forever, so you have a year. So that would 1200 00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:38,120 Speaker 19: mean we could keep all the tariffs we have, and 1201 00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:41,560 Speaker 19: it gives the Trump administration some time to There's a 1202 00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:44,160 Speaker 19: lot of other statutes that allow the president to impose tariffs. 1203 00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:48,800 Speaker 19: So if these ones get struck down or get time limited, 1204 00:58:49,240 --> 00:58:51,960 Speaker 19: I think President Trump can come back with other ways 1205 00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:54,960 Speaker 19: of going of erecting tariffs. And frankly, I think the 1206 00:58:55,080 --> 00:58:58,880 Speaker 19: US Senate and the House should if the Supreme Court 1207 00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:02,640 Speaker 19: decides is actually just completely reverse it and say no, 1208 00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:04,720 Speaker 19: we think the president does need this power. 1209 00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:07,720 Speaker 14: Yeah, but it wasn't there, I mean, pushback even from 1210 00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:10,600 Speaker 14: the Republican side of the aisle. There was Ram Paul, 1211 00:59:11,360 --> 00:59:15,040 Speaker 14: I believe, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski. The question then becomes, 1212 00:59:15,560 --> 00:59:20,680 Speaker 14: you know, you've kind of got these these tricky Republicans 1213 00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:23,280 Speaker 14: in the Senate that we're not. So we talk about 1214 00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:26,400 Speaker 14: this when we're discussing Nuken the filibuster. For example, you've 1215 00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:29,880 Speaker 14: still got Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, Ram Paul, and Mitch McConnell. 1216 00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:32,080 Speaker 14: That puts you at forty nine. You're not even at 1217 00:59:32,080 --> 00:59:34,480 Speaker 14: that fifty to fifty mark. So Jadvance can cast a 1218 00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:37,040 Speaker 14: tie breaking vote. You got to get one of those 1219 00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:40,320 Speaker 14: those tricky senators on board. And then you got Tom Tillison, 1220 00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:43,200 Speaker 14: who knows what's happening with him right now, he's causing 1221 00:59:43,240 --> 00:59:44,040 Speaker 14: a stink with the Fed. 1222 00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:49,600 Speaker 19: So traditionally you had a lot of Democrats who would 1223 00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:52,960 Speaker 19: vote in favor of tariffs and supporting tariffs. 1224 00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:54,280 Speaker 9: There may still be. 1225 00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:57,200 Speaker 19: Some hiding out there. The question is whether or not, 1226 00:59:57,440 --> 01:00:02,400 Speaker 19: like their Trump derangement syndrome has overtaken what used to 1227 01:00:02,440 --> 01:00:05,440 Speaker 19: be their loyalty to the you know, to American labor 1228 01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:06,600 Speaker 19: and to the working class. 1229 01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:07,520 Speaker 4: Maybe it has. 1230 01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:10,800 Speaker 19: And maybe they cannot, as a Democrat, bring themselves to 1231 01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:15,080 Speaker 19: vote for a you know, in a terrrif authority for Trump, 1232 01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:18,360 Speaker 19: but they should. It's good for working Americans, and Democrats 1233 01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:22,040 Speaker 19: constantly claim that through they're protecting, and so you know 1234 01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:24,800 Speaker 19: the fact that they won't that would be a revealing moment. 1235 01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:27,640 Speaker 15: Yeah, I totally agree. I totally agree, John. 1236 01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:30,800 Speaker 14: And you've got core consumer prices rise less than expected, 1237 01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:33,680 Speaker 14: so core CPI is less than expected. 1238 01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:35,840 Speaker 15: You've got what was it a four. 1239 01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:38,840 Speaker 14: Point I forget now, four point nine number that we 1240 01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:41,800 Speaker 14: got the revision for Q three, and now you know, 1241 01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:45,280 Speaker 14: you've even got the Atlanta Fed uh saying that we're 1242 01:00:45,320 --> 01:00:48,439 Speaker 14: expecting five point three percent GDP growth in Q four. 1243 01:00:48,480 --> 01:00:50,960 Speaker 14: Potentially that's their estimate, might be high, whatever, But the 1244 01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:54,200 Speaker 14: point is, it seems like the economic indicators are all 1245 01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:56,720 Speaker 14: going in the right direction right now. Part of the 1246 01:00:56,760 --> 01:01:00,600 Speaker 14: reason that is is because the doomsday is about ten have. 1247 01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:03,520 Speaker 15: Been proven wrong again and again and again. Thirty seconds. 1248 01:01:03,520 --> 01:01:04,680 Speaker 14: We're going to take a break and then we'll have 1249 01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:07,320 Speaker 14: you back on the other side, John, Yeah. 1250 01:01:07,160 --> 01:01:08,560 Speaker 4: No, absolutely been proved wrong. 1251 01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:12,680 Speaker 19: Look, unemployment fell, inflation is much lower than anybody expected. 1252 01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:15,919 Speaker 19: The economy is growing at rates much faster than any 1253 01:01:16,200 --> 01:01:20,920 Speaker 19: but he expected. I think that everybody's got this wrong 1254 01:01:21,160 --> 01:01:23,080 Speaker 19: when they said that the terriffs were going to somehow 1255 01:01:23,120 --> 01:01:26,320 Speaker 19: derail the economy or push up prices. The opposite has happened. 1256 01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:30,160 Speaker 19: We're having an investment boom in America. The news is good. 1257 01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:32,800 Speaker 19: The Trump administration needs to get that news out there. 1258 01:01:32,920 --> 01:01:34,800 Speaker 19: But frankly, I think it's going to get out to 1259 01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:37,840 Speaker 19: the American people because you just need to drive by 1260 01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:42,160 Speaker 19: a gas station and see that the Biden inflation crisis 1261 01:01:42,440 --> 01:01:45,560 Speaker 19: is in our rearview mirror and what's ahead, what's in 1262 01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:48,200 Speaker 19: our front, what's in front of us is very good. 1263 01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:53,600 Speaker 14: John Carney from Breitbart, the tariff man, We're. 1264 01:01:53,440 --> 01:01:55,080 Speaker 15: Going to be right back with him. Don't go anywhere. 1265 01:02:03,440 --> 01:02:06,360 Speaker 14: They will help you, no credit impact, they'll take back credit. 1266 01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:08,200 Speaker 14: They'll even let you skip a payment every six months 1267 01:02:08,280 --> 01:02:11,160 Speaker 14: up to twelve times. And they have a US based 1268 01:02:11,160 --> 01:02:14,840 Speaker 14: support team. It's simple. It's not a face's call center. 1269 01:02:14,840 --> 01:02:17,000 Speaker 14: It's a point they can help you out. And beyond that, 1270 01:02:17,760 --> 01:02:19,800 Speaker 14: I can vouch for just how amazing the people are 1271 01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:22,440 Speaker 14: that run this company. They are patriots that love this country, 1272 01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:25,439 Speaker 14: They love students, they love TPUSA, they love this show. 1273 01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:28,280 Speaker 14: So God bless them.

He posted a video in which he 1310 01:04:16,760 --> 01:04:21,400 Speaker 19: said that he has received subpoenas from the Justice Department, 1311 01:04:21,680 --> 01:04:26,040 Speaker 19: and he went far beyond denying having done done anything 1312 01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:30,040 Speaker 19: wrong with the renovation of what people are calling the 1313 01:04:30,080 --> 01:04:33,200 Speaker 19: Fed Mahal, this two point five billion dollar renovation to 1314 01:04:33,240 --> 01:04:37,760 Speaker 19: their headquarters. He and he denied, and he went beyond 1315 01:04:37,840 --> 01:04:40,400 Speaker 19: denying misleading a Senate panel when he. 1316 01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:41,240 Speaker 4: Testified about it. 1317 01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:45,480 Speaker 19: He actually accused the Trump administration of using this inquiry 1318 01:04:45,480 --> 01:04:50,440 Speaker 19: into these matters into to trying to subvert the independence 1319 01:04:50,480 --> 01:04:52,400 Speaker 19: of the Federal Reserve. He has no evidence of that 1320 01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:55,640 Speaker 19: at all, And in fact, the President immediately. 1321 01:04:55,040 --> 01:04:57,240 Speaker 4: Said no that We're not doing that. 1322 01:04:58,080 --> 01:05:01,800 Speaker 19: Judge Janine Janine Piro, who is the US Attorney for 1323 01:05:01,880 --> 01:05:05,120 Speaker 19: the District of Columbia, said, that's not what's happening. 1324 01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:06,640 Speaker 4: What happened was we had. 1325 01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:09,600 Speaker 19: A bunch of questions about the renovation. We tried to 1326 01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:12,840 Speaker 19: get the FED to answer them. They wouldn't answer the questions, 1327 01:05:12,880 --> 01:05:15,080 Speaker 19: which is outrageous for any part of the government to 1328 01:05:15,160 --> 01:05:18,920 Speaker 19: not answer inquiries from the Department of Justice, and so 1329 01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:21,600 Speaker 19: we had to issue subpoenas she pointed out that they 1330 01:05:21,640 --> 01:05:24,760 Speaker 19: haven't indicted anyone. What they are doing is just seeking 1331 01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:30,080 Speaker 19: answers to questions. Powell escalated this into eight crisis, and 1332 01:05:30,120 --> 01:05:33,640 Speaker 19: then you had, you know, the legacy media freak out 1333 01:05:33,720 --> 01:05:36,440 Speaker 19: act like you know, Donald you know again, sort of 1334 01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:41,160 Speaker 19: Trump arrangement syndrome, assuming the worst possible interpretation of this 1335 01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:44,200 Speaker 19: that Donald Trump was using the Justice Department to go 1336 01:05:44,240 --> 01:05:47,000 Speaker 19: after Powell to try to seize control of the FED. 1337 01:05:47,200 --> 01:05:49,160 Speaker 10: None of that is happening, and. 1338 01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:51,440 Speaker 19: In fact, that's one of the reasons that the markets 1339 01:05:51,480 --> 01:05:55,360 Speaker 19: have reacted to this so calmly, because people aren't seeing 1340 01:05:55,400 --> 01:05:58,880 Speaker 19: this as a power grab by Trump. They're seeing it 1341 01:05:58,960 --> 01:06:04,680 Speaker 19: as actually a very aggressive move by Powell. Book Powell 1342 01:06:04,800 --> 01:06:09,120 Speaker 19: is out of office as chairman in May. Trump doesn't 1343 01:06:09,120 --> 01:06:11,440 Speaker 19: need to go after anybody. He gets to appoint the 1344 01:06:11,480 --> 01:06:15,040 Speaker 19: next guy. So the idea that like Trump would use 1345 01:06:15,080 --> 01:06:18,080 Speaker 19: the Justice Department to pursue Pale now doesn't really make 1346 01:06:18,120 --> 01:06:20,360 Speaker 19: any sense and that doesn't appear to be what happened. 1347 01:06:20,760 --> 01:06:24,000 Speaker 14: Yeah, so Trump, thank you for that explanation. That's actually 1348 01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:28,080 Speaker 14: really clarifying. Trump is touring a Ford factory right now. 1349 01:06:28,600 --> 01:06:32,720 Speaker 14: He's kind of touting domestic manufacturing. So we hear this 1350 01:06:32,840 --> 01:06:36,520 Speaker 14: number a lot, John about how many trillions of dollars 1351 01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:39,800 Speaker 14: of investment foreign direct investment business is investing in the 1352 01:06:39,920 --> 01:06:43,120 Speaker 14: United States. Again, Scott Besson has said that we twenty 1353 01:06:43,160 --> 01:06:45,680 Speaker 14: twenty five was setting the table. Twenty twenty six is 1354 01:06:45,760 --> 01:06:48,800 Speaker 14: the banquet and the feast. How true is that going 1355 01:06:48,880 --> 01:06:52,080 Speaker 14: to be? What can we expect? What are you looking 1356 01:06:52,120 --> 01:06:54,560 Speaker 14: at as far as growth rates in twenty twenty six 1357 01:06:54,600 --> 01:06:57,120 Speaker 14: because I'm thinking about midterms, so I want to I 1358 01:06:57,160 --> 01:06:58,760 Speaker 14: want to know are we going to make the deadline? 1359 01:06:58,760 --> 01:07:01,480 Speaker 14: Are people going to feel it financially before the midterms? 1360 01:07:02,360 --> 01:07:05,560 Speaker 19: I do think they will. In fact, if you look 1361 01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:07,400 Speaker 19: at the growth rate we have three point eight, then 1362 01:07:07,440 --> 01:07:10,920 Speaker 19: four point one is three point eight in the second term, 1363 01:07:11,120 --> 01:07:15,200 Speaker 19: in the second quarter, four point one in the second 1364 01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:18,000 Speaker 19: or the third, and now it looks like we may 1365 01:07:18,040 --> 01:07:21,560 Speaker 19: be growing again. The Atlanta fat as you mentioned, says 1366 01:07:21,560 --> 01:07:26,040 Speaker 19: above five percent. That seems probably an overestimation to me, 1367 01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:27,760 Speaker 19: but we're certainly. 1368 01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:28,720 Speaker 10: Growing at a very rapid rate. 1369 01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:31,360 Speaker 4: The American people will feel this. 1370 01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:33,800 Speaker 19: One of the probably the biggest way they'll feel this 1371 01:07:34,440 --> 01:07:37,680 Speaker 19: is in their wages going up much faster than inflation. 1372 01:07:38,160 --> 01:07:41,400 Speaker 19: That's great because it means people have more purchasing power. 1373 01:07:41,800 --> 01:07:44,520 Speaker 19: It means that things that they need to buy become 1374 01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:49,000 Speaker 19: more affordable. We're also seeing the price of energy, particularly gasoline, 1375 01:07:49,240 --> 01:07:53,560 Speaker 19: come down dramatically. That will also help a lot going. 1376 01:07:53,320 --> 01:07:54,080 Speaker 4: Into the midterms. 1377 01:07:54,080 --> 01:07:56,040 Speaker 19: It is one of gasoline is one of those things 1378 01:07:56,080 --> 01:07:59,920 Speaker 19: that people really get upset about. I think the relief 1379 01:08:00,080 --> 01:08:03,760 Speaker 19: on the energy side will actually and then that filters 1380 01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:06,040 Speaker 19: into all sorts of products you buy, So I think 1381 01:08:06,120 --> 01:08:10,320 Speaker 19: that will indeed actually help us grow really rapidly going 1382 01:08:10,360 --> 01:08:12,200 Speaker 19: into this new year. We we sort of have this 1383 01:08:12,320 --> 01:08:16,639 Speaker 19: momentum built up from twenty twenty five twenty twenty six, 1384 01:08:16,760 --> 01:08:18,719 Speaker 19: looks like it's going to be even stronger. 1385 01:08:19,200 --> 01:08:22,720 Speaker 14: Yeah, and we're going to actually have EPA administrator, Lee 1386 01:08:22,840 --> 01:08:26,800 Speaker 14: Zelden on next, I'm going to talk about utility prices 1387 01:08:26,840 --> 01:08:29,639 Speaker 14: because I'm I don't know that those are coming down 1388 01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:33,280 Speaker 14: with the you know, commensurate with the rate of drop 1389 01:08:33,360 --> 01:08:34,559 Speaker 14: in gas prices. 1390 01:08:34,680 --> 01:08:34,880 Speaker 4: Right. 1391 01:08:35,080 --> 01:08:37,920 Speaker 14: We had Senator Mark Waynemullin on in our one and 1392 01:08:37,960 --> 01:08:41,040 Speaker 14: he was talking about you know, dollar eighty three in 1393 01:08:41,080 --> 01:08:45,679 Speaker 14: some counties per gallon of gas in Oklahoma. So we'll see, 1394 01:08:45,720 --> 01:08:47,400 Speaker 14: we'll see if utility bills are coming down. With a 1395 01:08:47,439 --> 01:08:50,960 Speaker 14: lot to discuss with him, John Carney, great work as always. 1396 01:08:51,160 --> 01:08:54,160 Speaker 14: We'll see what happens with Scotus on the tariff rulings. 1397 01:08:54,160 --> 01:08:55,880 Speaker 14: But it's good to hear that President Trump and the 1398 01:08:55,920 --> 01:08:59,160 Speaker 14: Trump administration have outs other levers they can pull to 1399 01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:01,960 Speaker 14: kind of exert their tarif agenda because I think it's 1400 01:09:01,960 --> 01:09:04,679 Speaker 14: actually really important from a foreign policy also a domestic 1401 01:09:04,680 --> 01:09:07,080 Speaker 14: policy standpoint. Thank you for adding a lot of light, 1402 01:09:07,120 --> 01:09:10,080 Speaker 14: a lot of clarity. Thank you, John Carney, Thanks for 1403 01:09:10,080 --> 01:09:10,400 Speaker 14: having me. 1404 01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:10,760 Speaker 4: Guys. 1405 01:09:10,840 --> 01:09:12,560 Speaker 14: Absolutely, we'll have you back on again soon, because I 1406 01:09:12,600 --> 01:09:16,879 Speaker 14: think this issue is not going away anytime soon.

And then I, you know, trolled around Twitter 1471 01:12:50,800 --> 01:12:52,680 Speaker 14: yesterday and I see that The New York Times is 1472 01:12:52,720 --> 01:12:58,639 Speaker 14: claiming Lee that you have you stopped considering live saved 1473 01:12:59,080 --> 01:13:02,320 Speaker 14: when setting police limits and instead calculate only on the 1474 01:13:02,320 --> 01:13:03,480 Speaker 14: cost of businesses. 1475 01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:05,920 Speaker 1: And I loved it on Twitter. 1476 01:13:06,000 --> 01:13:08,639 Speaker 14: It's now getting slapped with a community note because it's 1477 01:13:08,840 --> 01:13:12,040 Speaker 14: complete hogwash, but it's gone viral five point their tweet 1478 01:13:12,080 --> 01:13:15,080 Speaker 14: has five point one million views because they are lying 1479 01:13:15,120 --> 01:13:17,280 Speaker 14: to people correct, this. 1480 01:13:17,400 --> 01:13:18,320 Speaker 15: Is the news. 1481 01:13:19,720 --> 01:13:22,400 Speaker 23: Yeah, they like to write a headline like this to 1482 01:13:22,560 --> 01:13:26,880 Speaker 23: freak people out, to twist what would actually be accurate, 1483 01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:29,839 Speaker 23: because they're trying to advance the narrative. 1484 01:13:30,200 --> 01:13:32,240 Speaker 9: It's amazing how synced. 1485 01:13:32,080 --> 01:13:35,280 Speaker 23: Up they are with others in the left wing media, 1486 01:13:35,520 --> 01:13:39,679 Speaker 23: Congressional Democrats. All of a sudden at once, they're all 1487 01:13:39,720 --> 01:13:43,439 Speaker 23: advancing a narrative that is one hundred percent untrue. Of course, 1488 01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:47,640 Speaker 23: we are going to be considering to factor in the 1489 01:13:47,760 --> 01:13:52,439 Speaker 23: impact on lives when doing our job. Our core mission 1490 01:13:52,400 --> 01:13:53,919 Speaker 23: of EPA is protecting human. 1491 01:13:53,720 --> 01:13:54,759 Speaker 9: Health and the environment. 1492 01:13:55,840 --> 01:14:00,400 Speaker 23: But what we aren't going to do is just play 1493 01:14:00,400 --> 01:14:04,800 Speaker 23: along with whatever the left wing strategy is of the 1494 01:14:04,880 --> 01:14:09,240 Speaker 23: day to try to advance Trump arrangement syndrome at its 1495 01:14:09,520 --> 01:14:10,320 Speaker 23: highest level. 1496 01:14:12,400 --> 01:14:13,120 Speaker 9: For us. 1497 01:14:13,200 --> 01:14:15,439 Speaker 23: You know, we've rejected the notion that in order to 1498 01:14:15,479 --> 01:14:19,559 Speaker 23: protect the environment you have to destroy the economy. We 1499 01:14:19,640 --> 01:14:22,240 Speaker 23: inherited a mess on all sorts of different regulations that 1500 01:14:22,280 --> 01:14:25,800 Speaker 23: amount into the trillions we just saw some footage there 1501 01:14:25,920 --> 01:14:29,559 Speaker 23: President Trump at a Ford factory there. In so many 1502 01:14:29,600 --> 01:14:34,000 Speaker 23: different ways, the Obama and Biden administrations, with tailpipe emissions 1503 01:14:34,040 --> 01:14:38,560 Speaker 23: and electric vehicle mandates, working with blue states like California, 1504 01:14:39,360 --> 01:14:41,640 Speaker 23: have reduced consumer. 1505 01:14:41,280 --> 01:14:43,799 Speaker 9: Choice, have increased vehicle costs. 1506 01:14:44,400 --> 01:14:48,400 Speaker 23: And we inherited this mess and decided with this Trump mandate, 1507 01:14:48,840 --> 01:14:52,879 Speaker 23: President Trump winning all the battleground states, winning the popular vote, 1508 01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:54,920 Speaker 23: We're going to fix all of it at once. And 1509 01:14:54,960 --> 01:14:59,519 Speaker 23: whether it's sending to Congress the three Biden EP waivers 1510 01:14:59,520 --> 01:15:03,080 Speaker 23: to Californi that gave them permission to do their electric 1511 01:15:03,160 --> 01:15:07,360 Speaker 23: vehicle mandate, which Congress then passed the resolutions to reject 1512 01:15:07,360 --> 01:15:11,320 Speaker 23: and President Trump signed, it's the change to cafe standards 1513 01:15:11,360 --> 01:15:14,320 Speaker 23: that you saw Secretary Duffy announced with President Trump at 1514 01:15:14,320 --> 01:15:17,639 Speaker 23: the Oval Office a few weeks. It's the proposed repeal 1515 01:15:17,680 --> 01:15:20,880 Speaker 23: of the two thousand and nine Endangerment Finding and all 1516 01:15:20,880 --> 01:15:23,080 Speaker 23: of the greenhouse gas emissions of light, medium and heavy 1517 01:15:23,120 --> 01:15:27,599 Speaker 23: duty vehicles that followed, and that start stop, that annoying, 1518 01:15:27,800 --> 01:15:31,519 Speaker 23: almost universally hated start stop feature on these cars, that 1519 01:15:31,520 --> 01:15:33,360 Speaker 23: we're getting rid of, the off cycle credits, all on 1520 01:15:33,439 --> 01:15:36,519 Speaker 23: one proposal, which if finalized, would be the largest active 1521 01:15:36,560 --> 01:15:39,760 Speaker 23: deregulation in the history of the United States of America. 1522 01:15:40,080 --> 01:15:41,920 Speaker 9: We're going to push. 1523 01:15:41,720 --> 01:15:45,640 Speaker 23: Back on the left with their false narratives, their untruthed 1524 01:15:45,760 --> 01:15:49,120 Speaker 23: the mess of regulation that we inherited, and our goals 1525 01:15:49,160 --> 01:15:52,200 Speaker 23: to fix everything and to do it truthfully, promoting gold 1526 01:15:52,240 --> 01:15:55,679 Speaker 23: standard science and fulfilling that Trump mandate that the American 1527 01:15:55,720 --> 01:15:56,400 Speaker 23: public voted for. 1528 01:15:56,760 --> 01:15:57,920 Speaker 15: Yeah, well, that's exciting. 1529 01:15:58,200 --> 01:16:00,840 Speaker 1: It just strikes me. The EPA has always had to 1530 01:16:00,840 --> 01:16:03,760 Speaker 1: play in this unfair playing field where if you the 1531 01:16:03,760 --> 01:16:07,040 Speaker 1: Biden administration or the bomb administration does something not so 1532 01:16:07,720 --> 01:16:11,080 Speaker 1: to pursue a political agenda, and then if you repeal it, 1533 01:16:11,160 --> 01:16:14,679 Speaker 1: you have this panic attack where it's they're rolling back 1534 01:16:14,720 --> 01:16:17,400 Speaker 1: the environmental Well, that's exactly, I mean exactly, that's not 1535 01:16:17,840 --> 01:16:18,760 Speaker 1: We live in the nineties ago. 1536 01:16:18,880 --> 01:16:21,800 Speaker 14: Yeah, that's the headline. That's the implication. That's what they 1537 01:16:21,840 --> 01:16:24,320 Speaker 14: want to do. This is pravda. This is fake that 1538 01:16:24,360 --> 01:16:27,160 Speaker 14: they want to imply that you don't care about people's lives, 1539 01:16:27,360 --> 01:16:30,240 Speaker 14: that Trump administration does not care about people's lives, when 1540 01:16:30,240 --> 01:16:33,360 Speaker 14: the exact opposite is true, and we're actually creating an 1541 01:16:33,360 --> 01:16:35,880 Speaker 14: opportunity for growth again in this country and getting rid 1542 01:16:35,880 --> 01:16:39,120 Speaker 14: of nonsense regulations. Now, this is what's funny about having 1543 01:16:39,120 --> 01:16:41,720 Speaker 14: you on today. We had Senator Mark Wayne Mullin on 1544 01:16:41,800 --> 01:16:45,080 Speaker 14: an hour one uh and he was talking about gas 1545 01:16:45,080 --> 01:16:48,480 Speaker 14: prices at a dollar eighty three in some counties in Oklahoma. 1546 01:16:48,960 --> 01:16:52,040 Speaker 14: You clap back at the governor Governor Gavin Newsom's press 1547 01:16:52,080 --> 01:16:54,360 Speaker 14: off office. I loved this one, by the way, this 1548 01:16:54,400 --> 01:16:58,080 Speaker 14: is image three oh three. So Governor Gavin newsom Express 1549 01:16:58,120 --> 01:17:01,040 Speaker 14: office is bragging about the fact that at you know, 1550 01:17:01,080 --> 01:17:04,599 Speaker 14: in California, gas prices hit lowest levels in years. Here's 1551 01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:07,160 Speaker 14: what drivers will pay. So he's taken credit for what 1552 01:17:07,200 --> 01:17:08,639 Speaker 14: you and the president are doing. 1553 01:17:09,280 --> 01:17:10,960 Speaker 15: Meanwhile, what is it around? 1554 01:17:11,080 --> 01:17:14,000 Speaker 14: I think average price around four dollars for twenty I 1555 01:17:14,080 --> 01:17:16,800 Speaker 14: just googled it this morning in California and you got 1556 01:17:16,800 --> 01:17:21,640 Speaker 14: a buck eighty three in Oklahoma. Why is why are 1557 01:17:21,680 --> 01:17:26,240 Speaker 14: you calling let's just say garbage on this this note 1558 01:17:26,240 --> 01:17:28,880 Speaker 14: from Governor Gavin Newsom. 1559 01:17:29,120 --> 01:17:32,439 Speaker 23: Yeah, because California can have lower gas prices if the 1560 01:17:32,760 --> 01:17:36,720 Speaker 23: left wing Democrats who are destroying, pummeling that state into 1561 01:17:36,760 --> 01:17:40,840 Speaker 23: the ground, would be advancing great energy policies like you're 1562 01:17:40,880 --> 01:17:44,519 Speaker 23: seeing in states where energy costs so much less, where 1563 01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:46,160 Speaker 23: it costs less to heat your home to fill up 1564 01:17:46,160 --> 01:17:49,439 Speaker 23: your gas tank, where people are able to make their 1565 01:17:49,479 --> 01:17:53,240 Speaker 23: dollars stretch further because there are people in government at 1566 01:17:53,240 --> 01:17:57,920 Speaker 23: the state level who are advancing smart energy policies. But 1567 01:17:58,040 --> 01:18:02,880 Speaker 23: in California, Governor Newsom and the Democrats running the legislature 1568 01:18:02,920 --> 01:18:04,880 Speaker 23: have been beholden to the far left. Many of them 1569 01:18:04,880 --> 01:18:07,200 Speaker 23: are part of the far left, pandering the far left 1570 01:18:07,400 --> 01:18:11,000 Speaker 23: and pushing these energy and environmental policies that are driving 1571 01:18:11,080 --> 01:18:14,120 Speaker 23: so many Californians to leave their state permanently for good. 1572 01:18:14,800 --> 01:18:16,760 Speaker 9: President Trump has been able. 1573 01:18:16,520 --> 01:18:19,639 Speaker 23: To, through his policies, reduce gas prices to under three 1574 01:18:19,680 --> 01:18:21,519 Speaker 23: dollars in forty three. 1575 01:18:21,360 --> 01:18:22,439 Speaker 9: States across the country. 1576 01:18:22,479 --> 01:18:25,640 Speaker 23: California is not one of them, and that is because 1577 01:18:26,400 --> 01:18:29,439 Speaker 23: of these people at the state level in the Capitol 1578 01:18:29,479 --> 01:18:34,880 Speaker 23: of California pushing these bad energy and environment policies. So yeah, 1579 01:18:35,080 --> 01:18:39,040 Speaker 23: I think that if those Democrats in California wanted to 1580 01:18:39,080 --> 01:18:41,720 Speaker 23: truly be part of the progress, maybe they would get 1581 01:18:41,720 --> 01:18:44,760 Speaker 23: the heck out of the way going forward, rather than 1582 01:18:44,880 --> 01:18:47,559 Speaker 23: doing what they have been doing, creating a mess that's 1583 01:18:47,600 --> 01:18:50,720 Speaker 23: been increasing gas prices. And it's the reason why that 1584 01:18:50,800 --> 01:18:54,000 Speaker 23: list is in forty four instead of forty three is 1585 01:18:54,080 --> 01:18:57,040 Speaker 23: because of these people who are bragging now and trying 1586 01:18:57,080 --> 01:18:59,599 Speaker 23: to take credit for the progress that President Trump has 1587 01:18:59,600 --> 01:19:02,120 Speaker 23: been since the moment he came back into office. 1588 01:19:02,200 --> 01:19:05,320 Speaker 15: It's so like brazen, That's what I can't get over. 1589 01:19:05,439 --> 01:19:08,160 Speaker 14: So they have their average gas prices in California are 1590 01:19:08,400 --> 01:19:12,000 Speaker 14: dollar forty above the national average, except for twenty one, 1591 01:19:12,120 --> 01:19:15,000 Speaker 14: it's a dollar forty above the national average. And you 1592 01:19:15,040 --> 01:19:17,519 Speaker 14: have Gavin Newsome taking a bow saying, look at what 1593 01:19:17,560 --> 01:19:20,120 Speaker 14: I've done in the state of California, when everybody with 1594 01:19:20,120 --> 01:19:22,519 Speaker 14: a brain knows this is because President Trump's policies. What 1595 01:19:22,560 --> 01:19:26,120 Speaker 14: you guys are doing at the EPA, it's just, I 1596 01:19:26,160 --> 01:19:28,640 Speaker 14: mean you you almost have to tip your hat at 1597 01:19:28,680 --> 01:19:31,400 Speaker 14: the brazenness of the lie, like the fact that the 1598 01:19:31,439 --> 01:19:34,360 Speaker 14: fact that he's willing to do this on Twitter when 1599 01:19:34,360 --> 01:19:36,960 Speaker 14: he knows the administrator the EPA is gonna come out 1600 01:19:37,120 --> 01:19:41,719 Speaker 14: and knock him for. Another question we have Lee here 1601 01:19:41,840 --> 01:19:44,920 Speaker 14: is that we we're kind of looking at utility prices 1602 01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:48,200 Speaker 14: as well. Are we seeing those drop commensurate with the 1603 01:19:48,200 --> 01:19:50,800 Speaker 14: price of energy in other ways like gas prices. 1604 01:19:51,760 --> 01:19:53,920 Speaker 23: Well, there's such a huge difference in red states and 1605 01:19:53,920 --> 01:19:54,800 Speaker 23: blue states. 1606 01:19:55,080 --> 01:19:56,799 Speaker 9: Yeah, and you know, we saw. 1607 01:19:56,680 --> 01:20:00,519 Speaker 23: For example, President Trump's from pushing this pipeline called Constitution Pipeline, 1608 01:20:00,600 --> 01:20:04,000 Speaker 23: or to deliver a natural gas from Pennsylvania into New England. 1609 01:20:04,040 --> 01:20:06,200 Speaker 9: The New Englanders need natural gas. 1610 01:20:06,280 --> 01:20:10,320 Speaker 23: It would reduce our reliance on foreign sources of energy, 1611 01:20:10,400 --> 01:20:15,280 Speaker 23: it would make energy prices more affordable, and it's being 1612 01:20:15,760 --> 01:20:20,200 Speaker 23: blocked by the left wing. And you look at you 1613 01:20:20,240 --> 01:20:23,559 Speaker 23: compare policies in red states where it costs so much 1614 01:20:23,640 --> 01:20:26,760 Speaker 23: less to heat your home than when you look at 1615 01:20:26,760 --> 01:20:31,120 Speaker 23: these Democrat run states. It's not a coincidence, you know, 1616 01:20:31,120 --> 01:20:34,080 Speaker 23: It's not like there's nothing else to it. No, that 1617 01:20:34,120 --> 01:20:36,919 Speaker 23: it actually tells a pretty big story when you compare 1618 01:20:37,360 --> 01:20:40,759 Speaker 23: the price differential between the two states. Now all across 1619 01:20:40,840 --> 01:20:44,280 Speaker 23: the entire country, the numbers were going up big time 1620 01:20:44,360 --> 01:20:48,120 Speaker 23: when President Biden was in office, the policies of his 1621 01:20:48,240 --> 01:20:55,360 Speaker 23: administration with all sorts of new regulations and favoring intermittent 1622 01:20:55,439 --> 01:20:59,680 Speaker 23: sources over base load power. President Trump understands the need 1623 01:20:59,720 --> 01:21:01,800 Speaker 23: to run but baseload of power in his country. He 1624 01:21:01,960 --> 01:21:04,360 Speaker 23: understands the need to unleash entergy dominance. 1625 01:21:04,520 --> 01:21:04,680 Speaker 4: Well. 1626 01:21:04,720 --> 01:21:08,120 Speaker 23: He wants to see more pipelines being built, thankfully they 1627 01:21:08,160 --> 01:21:11,160 Speaker 23: now are. He wants to see more power plants being built. 1628 01:21:11,280 --> 01:21:16,639 Speaker 23: President Trump has saved the clean, beautiful coal. President Trump 1629 01:21:16,880 --> 01:21:20,960 Speaker 23: has been getting new nuclear sites online. I've been at 1630 01:21:20,960 --> 01:21:26,200 Speaker 23: groundbreakings all across this country. Idaho Falls, Idaho new nuclear facility. 1631 01:21:26,200 --> 01:21:29,320 Speaker 23: I was there for the groundbreaking. I was in West Memphis, Arkansas, 1632 01:21:29,360 --> 01:21:33,080 Speaker 23: where a four billion dollar data center was being built. 1633 01:21:33,200 --> 01:21:34,479 Speaker 4: And it was built with. 1634 01:21:34,479 --> 01:21:37,800 Speaker 23: A partnership with Arkansas that provides a net benefit to 1635 01:21:37,960 --> 01:21:38,439 Speaker 23: rate pair. 1636 01:21:38,680 --> 01:21:40,040 Speaker 9: This is a registate policies. 1637 01:21:40,160 --> 01:21:43,840 Speaker 14: Yeah, this is my question for you, mister administrator, is 1638 01:21:43,920 --> 01:21:46,920 Speaker 14: what so you've got all these new data centers going 1639 01:21:47,000 --> 01:21:49,559 Speaker 14: up right? They we know that it's we need it 1640 01:21:49,600 --> 01:21:52,240 Speaker 14: for to fuel the AI revolution. We know that we, 1641 01:21:52,320 --> 01:21:54,240 Speaker 14: the President Trump and the administration. You guys at the 1642 01:21:54,240 --> 01:21:56,400 Speaker 14: EPA have made this a core tenant. We want to 1643 01:21:56,400 --> 01:21:59,600 Speaker 14: be the AI center, crypto center, but that takes a 1644 01:21:59,600 --> 01:22:03,080 Speaker 14: ton of energy. Are we worried that these new demands 1645 01:22:03,120 --> 01:22:06,320 Speaker 14: from these data centers? Obviously Arkansas is a good example 1646 01:22:06,680 --> 01:22:09,680 Speaker 14: of it not being a concern, but because they're building capacity. 1647 01:22:09,760 --> 01:22:12,080 Speaker 14: But are we worried that these data centers are going 1648 01:22:12,120 --> 01:22:15,320 Speaker 14: to drive up prices for consumers at home? 1649 01:22:16,920 --> 01:22:18,760 Speaker 9: It's all about how you do it. Andrew. 1650 01:22:18,560 --> 01:22:22,200 Speaker 23: And when you reference that West Memphis, Arkansas example, you 1651 01:22:22,200 --> 01:22:26,200 Speaker 23: have a partnership with the State of Arkansas and Energy 1652 01:22:26,760 --> 01:22:31,320 Speaker 23: where the ratepayers end up receiving a net benefit, not 1653 01:22:31,439 --> 01:22:35,200 Speaker 23: a net cost, a net benefit because of that project. 1654 01:22:35,479 --> 01:22:37,120 Speaker 9: By the way, over a billion dollars. 1655 01:22:37,240 --> 01:22:39,360 Speaker 23: So you get the jobs for the construction, you get 1656 01:22:39,760 --> 01:22:42,160 Speaker 23: the jobs long term because we're talking about a multi 1657 01:22:42,160 --> 01:22:46,600 Speaker 23: billion dollar project in Arkansas. And what do you have 1658 01:22:46,680 --> 01:22:49,880 Speaker 23: in Arkansas that really makes it all possible nuclear energy. 1659 01:22:50,560 --> 01:22:53,200 Speaker 23: We have retrofits that are going on across the country. 1660 01:22:53,240 --> 01:22:57,360 Speaker 23: We have small and large new builds. President Trump has 1661 01:22:57,439 --> 01:23:02,240 Speaker 23: saved plants that we're going to under at EPA. 1662 01:23:03,040 --> 01:23:03,799 Speaker 20: We have been. 1663 01:23:03,800 --> 01:23:09,000 Speaker 23: Pushing forth regulatory proposals that would allow more plans to 1664 01:23:09,040 --> 01:23:12,400 Speaker 23: be built, to streamline the process, to make sure that 1665 01:23:12,439 --> 01:23:14,800 Speaker 23: it takes less time, it costs less money. There's more 1666 01:23:14,840 --> 01:23:18,920 Speaker 23: certainty when making this investment. See when President Trump talks 1667 01:23:18,920 --> 01:23:22,160 Speaker 23: about trillions of dollars of new investment coming into this country. 1668 01:23:22,640 --> 01:23:27,080 Speaker 23: This isn't some hypothetical claim of something that might happen 1669 01:23:27,240 --> 01:23:31,080 Speaker 23: years from now. The ground is being broken all across 1670 01:23:31,160 --> 01:23:36,040 Speaker 23: America already. Of these massive new investments that are taking place, 1671 01:23:36,680 --> 01:23:38,720 Speaker 23: and We're just going to keep it going. We'll end 1672 01:23:38,800 --> 01:23:43,800 Speaker 23: up with more finalized deregulatory actions at one agency at 1673 01:23:43,840 --> 01:23:48,200 Speaker 23: the EPA in one year that entire federal governments have 1674 01:23:48,240 --> 01:23:52,360 Speaker 23: done in the past, across all federal agencies, across entire presidencies. 1675 01:23:52,800 --> 01:23:59,559 Speaker 23: We're finalizing deregulatory actions into the trillions of dollars and. 1676 01:24:00,080 --> 01:24:00,519 Speaker 9: Out of it. 1677 01:24:01,080 --> 01:24:04,120 Speaker 23: And we're going to continue to stay focused no matter 1678 01:24:04,160 --> 01:24:06,920 Speaker 23: what you know The New York Times, the Washington Post, 1679 01:24:07,120 --> 01:24:09,479 Speaker 23: or you know any of these other left wing out outlets, 1680 01:24:09,479 --> 01:24:12,080 Speaker 23: no matter how much you might be, you know, upsetting 1681 01:24:12,160 --> 01:24:15,920 Speaker 23: some of the furthest left wing Democrats in Congress. They 1682 01:24:15,920 --> 01:24:19,320 Speaker 23: are not going to bully and intimidate the Trump EPA 1683 01:24:19,800 --> 01:24:22,880 Speaker 23: out of doing the right thing to follow through on 1684 01:24:22,960 --> 01:24:27,080 Speaker 23: this deregulatory pledge to the American public to grow the economy. 1685 01:24:27,920 --> 01:24:29,639 Speaker 15: Great work. I want to say it again. 1686 01:24:30,240 --> 01:24:33,680 Speaker 14: Of all of the operators in Trump's cabinet, you at 1687 01:24:33,680 --> 01:24:36,920 Speaker 14: the EPA, I only hear what a great job you're doing. 1688 01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:39,599 Speaker 14: So Lee's Eldon, Administrator of the ep A. Great work 1689 01:24:39,880 --> 01:24:44,200 Speaker 14: is no longer impediment to growth but a boon. And 1690 01:24:44,520 --> 01:24:46,639 Speaker 14: so we thank you for your work. We'll see you again. Soon, 1691 01:24:46,720 --> 01:24:47,200 Speaker 14: Thank you, Lee. 1692 01:24:47,960 --> 01:24:48,479 Speaker 9: Thanks guys. 1693 01:24:48,720 --> 01:25:05,360 Speaker 14: Final segment of the show comes up next. All right, 1694 01:25:05,479 --> 01:25:08,920 Speaker 14: we have updates coming from Scotis. There's a few clips 1695 01:25:08,960 --> 01:25:13,040 Speaker 14: here that our team is pooling right now. You you 1696 01:25:13,200 --> 01:25:15,160 Speaker 14: had one, I could you read it to us or 1697 01:25:15,160 --> 01:25:16,600 Speaker 14: do we need to wait for the clip? 1698 01:25:16,840 --> 01:25:18,679 Speaker 15: This was the Alito clip. 1699 01:25:19,160 --> 01:25:22,320 Speaker 14: Oh yeah, the ACLU was forced to admit and we're talking, 1700 01:25:22,360 --> 01:25:25,360 Speaker 14: of course about there's a case before the Supreme Court 1701 01:25:25,400 --> 01:25:29,000 Speaker 14: about trans sports. 1702 01:25:28,360 --> 01:25:29,120 Speaker 15: Trans athletes. 1703 01:25:29,160 --> 01:25:30,559 Speaker 1: This, by the way, you see all right here we 1704 01:25:30,600 --> 01:25:32,800 Speaker 1: got it. So this is supposedly I don't have the 1705 01:25:32,840 --> 01:25:37,320 Speaker 1: audio clip, but this is uh Alito to decide if 1706 01:25:37,320 --> 01:25:39,760 Speaker 1: there is discrimination on the basis of sex under Title nine. 1707 01:25:39,840 --> 01:25:42,160 Speaker 1: We need to define what sex is right and the 1708 01:25:42,200 --> 01:25:45,559 Speaker 1: A c l U says yes. So Leo says, what 1709 01:25:45,600 --> 01:25:47,360 Speaker 1: does it mean to be a man or a woman, 1710 01:25:48,000 --> 01:25:51,400 Speaker 1: a boy or a girl? A CLU says, we do 1711 01:25:51,479 --> 01:25:53,040 Speaker 1: not have a definition for the court. 1712 01:25:54,280 --> 01:25:56,439 Speaker 14: You know, it reminded me because you told me this 1713 01:25:56,479 --> 01:25:58,000 Speaker 14: in the break and I was like, that's this is 1714 01:25:58,040 --> 01:25:59,200 Speaker 14: why Charlie was so good. 1715 01:25:59,240 --> 01:26:01,679 Speaker 1: He was he just stuck on this question again. 1716 01:26:01,479 --> 01:26:03,679 Speaker 14: And again and again because he knew he knew it 1717 01:26:03,840 --> 01:26:04,760 Speaker 14: fried a liberal do. 1718 01:26:05,080 --> 01:26:07,439 Speaker 1: It just thinks it actually short circuits a lot of 1719 01:26:07,479 --> 01:26:10,240 Speaker 1: their Imagine if they just had to go, imagine if 1720 01:26:10,240 --> 01:26:12,200 Speaker 1: they tried to run past the lido with a well, 1721 01:26:12,200 --> 01:26:14,639 Speaker 1: it's if you define as a woman, then you're a woman. 1722 01:26:15,479 --> 01:26:17,400 Speaker 14: Yeah, well we've got hold on, do we have the 1723 01:26:17,400 --> 01:26:19,880 Speaker 14: clip yet? We might have the clip yet. Okay, okay, 1724 01:26:19,960 --> 01:26:21,800 Speaker 14: we're working on the clips. This just happens, So this 1725 01:26:21,840 --> 01:26:24,320 Speaker 14: is all breaking. So the production team is doing a 1726 01:26:24,320 --> 01:26:30,160 Speaker 14: great job. I'm feeling very negative about the Supreme Court 1727 01:26:30,240 --> 01:26:33,519 Speaker 14: currently because I'm expecting them to come down against Trump's tariffs. 1728 01:26:33,560 --> 01:26:36,200 Speaker 14: And then we have Senator Mark Wayn Mullen saying some 1729 01:26:36,240 --> 01:26:41,040 Speaker 14: not nice things about Neil Gorsicch, Justice Gorsicch, and then 1730 01:26:41,080 --> 01:26:43,679 Speaker 14: you've got you know, Amy Cony Barrett is basically saying 1731 01:26:43,800 --> 01:26:46,120 Speaker 14: similar to like calling them trans girls. There's a boy 1732 01:26:46,520 --> 01:26:49,840 Speaker 14: and there's a girl, and there that's what the options are. 1733 01:26:49,880 --> 01:26:52,559 Speaker 14: There's this trans girl stuff. Is is it's not a 1734 01:26:52,600 --> 01:26:55,360 Speaker 14: good start. It's not a good start that they're actually 1735 01:26:55,479 --> 01:26:59,719 Speaker 14: misrepresenting the sex of the the the children. 1736 01:27:00,000 --> 01:27:03,479 Speaker 1: It's interesting that Kavanaugh does seem the most on our side, 1737 01:27:03,520 --> 01:27:07,479 Speaker 1: because Kavanaugh was annoying in that I can't remember the 1738 01:27:07,520 --> 01:27:08,720 Speaker 1: name of it. But the gay rights case that was 1739 01:27:08,800 --> 01:27:12,840 Speaker 1: during the Trump first admins, Oh uh, it wasn't that. 1740 01:27:13,200 --> 01:27:14,720 Speaker 1: It was well, so, now that I think about I 1741 01:27:14,720 --> 01:27:16,680 Speaker 1: actually think he ruled our way. But he did right. 1742 01:27:16,960 --> 01:27:18,800 Speaker 1: It was like an annoying thing where it was when 1743 01:27:18,840 --> 01:27:21,360 Speaker 1: they ruled that like gender identity was a protected class. 1744 01:27:21,400 --> 01:27:23,840 Speaker 1: I thought, right, well, and then in the ruling he says, like, 1745 01:27:23,880 --> 01:27:26,040 Speaker 1: I ruled against this, But I want to applaud you guys, 1746 01:27:26,040 --> 01:27:27,840 Speaker 1: because you've made a lot of progress over the last 1747 01:27:27,840 --> 01:27:28,920 Speaker 1: few years. I'm just really happy. 1748 01:27:29,040 --> 01:27:31,200 Speaker 14: I have a theory on Kavanaugh that he got he 1749 01:27:31,280 --> 01:27:32,840 Speaker 14: got red pilled during the. 1750 01:27:32,880 --> 01:27:36,879 Speaker 1: Com people have speculated on that. I don't think. I truthfully, 1751 01:27:36,920 --> 01:27:39,200 Speaker 1: I don't think his record bears that out because he's 1752 01:27:39,240 --> 01:27:43,519 Speaker 1: been lived on stuff. He's been more good than bad overall. 1753 01:27:43,520 --> 01:27:45,519 Speaker 1: But I don't think. I don't think he People have 1754 01:27:45,560 --> 01:27:48,760 Speaker 1: reacted to him by going, wow, he's way more conservative 1755 01:27:48,760 --> 01:27:51,439 Speaker 1: but than we anticipated. And it must be because problem 1756 01:27:51,439 --> 01:27:52,320 Speaker 1: he's basically gone the way. 1757 01:27:52,320 --> 01:27:55,360 Speaker 14: Problem to the Supreme Court right now is that Trump's 1758 01:27:55,560 --> 01:27:58,639 Speaker 14: first term, we have some kind of they're not swings 1759 01:27:58,640 --> 01:28:02,360 Speaker 14: and misses, but they're not they're not dominant, right they're 1760 01:28:02,400 --> 01:28:05,160 Speaker 14: not an Alito, they're not a here we go right 1761 01:28:05,160 --> 01:28:09,559 Speaker 14: behind your head, right here, Clarence Thomas, Charlie's favorite Supreme fing. 1762 01:28:10,200 --> 01:28:12,880 Speaker 1: It's worth noting. Yeah, like probably you know, the best, 1763 01:28:13,240 --> 01:28:16,800 Speaker 1: the two best Supreme Court justices we have were picked 1764 01:28:16,800 --> 01:28:17,719 Speaker 1: by two bushes. 1765 01:28:17,840 --> 01:28:20,439 Speaker 14: Well, and they're a little older now, that's they are. 1766 01:28:20,600 --> 01:28:22,800 Speaker 14: That is so both of them are old. And the 1767 01:28:22,840 --> 01:28:24,719 Speaker 14: trouble is what I've heard. 1768 01:28:24,800 --> 01:28:27,719 Speaker 1: I remember speaking with someone who knew the court well, 1769 01:28:28,080 --> 01:28:31,000 Speaker 1: and the problem was was, like Alito and Thomas, they 1770 01:28:31,000 --> 01:28:32,760 Speaker 1: both kind of react to the vibe around them. So 1771 01:28:33,160 --> 01:28:37,880 Speaker 1: they get depressed when it's a liberal presidency, and you know, 1772 01:28:37,880 --> 01:28:40,000 Speaker 1: if they feel or if they feel outnumbered on the court. 1773 01:28:40,479 --> 01:28:43,080 Speaker 1: But when they don't feel at number, when it's when 1774 01:28:43,080 --> 01:28:45,200 Speaker 1: they're getting good cases, they get excited and they enjoy 1775 01:28:45,240 --> 01:28:47,479 Speaker 1: being a justice, and then they're less likely to retire. 1776 01:28:48,120 --> 01:28:50,240 Speaker 1: And that's a bother because you know it is it 1777 01:28:50,280 --> 01:28:54,400 Speaker 1: has to be said. Justice Thomas especially is old. It 1778 01:28:54,479 --> 01:28:58,800 Speaker 1: would strategically be sound for him to retire now rather 1779 01:28:58,880 --> 01:29:01,679 Speaker 1: than I mean, even if you were to wait another year, 1780 01:29:01,760 --> 01:29:04,000 Speaker 1: if we've lost the Senate through some fluke, or if 1781 01:29:04,040 --> 01:29:07,519 Speaker 1: it's a one you know, one vote margin, then they 1782 01:29:07,520 --> 01:29:08,080 Speaker 1: could conceive that. 1783 01:29:08,920 --> 01:29:11,760 Speaker 14: Yeah, seventy seven years old in nineteen forty eight, and 1784 01:29:12,360 --> 01:29:15,599 Speaker 14: he's he is an amazing he's an incredible Just Alito 1785 01:29:15,680 --> 01:29:16,160 Speaker 14: is amazing. 1786 01:29:16,200 --> 01:29:17,240 Speaker 15: What's Alito's age? 1787 01:29:17,640 --> 01:29:19,800 Speaker 1: I don't think he's that much. He's certainly not youth. 1788 01:29:19,960 --> 01:29:23,720 Speaker 14: I think he's over seven. Well, we'll find out. I'm 1789 01:29:23,800 --> 01:29:24,920 Speaker 14: looking it up right now. 1790 01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:27,400 Speaker 15: Seventy five years old, he's were in nineteen fifty, so 1791 01:29:27,520 --> 01:29:28,000 Speaker 15: they're both. 1792 01:29:28,240 --> 01:29:31,120 Speaker 14: Let's let's play a clip here from Alito questioning this. 1793 01:29:31,479 --> 01:29:36,840 Speaker 14: Kathleen Martinetti, the attorney arguing before the Supreme Court case, 1794 01:29:36,960 --> 01:29:40,080 Speaker 14: I think on behalf of trans sports rights or whatever. 1795 01:29:40,280 --> 01:29:40,920 Speaker 15: Three zero nine. 1796 01:29:41,640 --> 01:29:45,880 Speaker 24: Well, that has a boys, let's say, track team and 1797 01:29:45,960 --> 01:29:53,280 Speaker 24: a girls track team. A student who has the genes 1798 01:29:54,040 --> 01:29:58,200 Speaker 24: and the reproductive system of a male and had those 1799 01:29:58,240 --> 01:30:05,759 Speaker 24: at birth, and he's never taken puberty blockers, never taken 1800 01:30:07,960 --> 01:30:13,680 Speaker 24: female hormones, never had any gender altering or affirming surgery, 1801 01:30:14,120 --> 01:30:18,480 Speaker 24: says nevertheless, I am a woman. That's who I am. 1802 01:30:18,760 --> 01:30:18,960 Speaker 4: Quit. 1803 01:30:19,120 --> 01:30:23,519 Speaker 24: Can the school say no, you cannot participate on the 1804 01:30:23,520 --> 01:30:27,120 Speaker 24: girls team, Yes, they can, but that person is that 1805 01:30:27,160 --> 01:30:29,960 Speaker 24: person not a woman in your understanding. If the person 1806 01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:33,320 Speaker 24: says I sincerely believe I a woman. I am, in 1807 01:30:33,320 --> 01:30:36,000 Speaker 24: fact woman. I think that person not a woman. 1808 01:30:36,920 --> 01:30:40,040 Speaker 6: I would respect their self identity and addressing the person. 1809 01:30:41,960 --> 01:30:46,680 Speaker 25: Self identity, I would respect their pronouns. Yeah, I mean, 1810 01:30:46,760 --> 01:30:50,479 Speaker 25: it's the big picture thing is is neither of them 1811 01:30:50,479 --> 01:30:52,679 Speaker 25: they're not imminently at death's door. 1812 01:30:52,760 --> 01:30:52,960 Speaker 15: No. 1813 01:30:53,040 --> 01:30:55,439 Speaker 1: But and we have had justices who made it two 1814 01:30:55,560 --> 01:30:58,200 Speaker 1: ninety I believe Stevens did. And he only he lived 1815 01:30:58,200 --> 01:30:59,639 Speaker 1: a long time after he retired too. 1816 01:31:00,040 --> 01:31:01,800 Speaker 15: You got the Ruth Bader Ginsburg. 1817 01:31:01,520 --> 01:31:04,760 Speaker 1: Exactly though, So you can have people if you do 1818 01:31:04,840 --> 01:31:07,559 Speaker 1: not choose the time of your retirement, God will choose 1819 01:31:07,560 --> 01:31:09,519 Speaker 1: the time of your retirement, and it may not be 1820 01:31:09,880 --> 01:31:14,120 Speaker 1: the time that men would prefer. And so we have 1821 01:31:14,160 --> 01:31:15,479 Speaker 1: to think about that. And we have to think about 1822 01:31:15,520 --> 01:31:18,320 Speaker 1: these Supreme Court appointments because I don't think the three 1823 01:31:18,360 --> 01:31:20,720 Speaker 1: appointments we made, none of them were catastrophic. 1824 01:31:21,160 --> 01:31:21,479 Speaker 10: They're not. 1825 01:31:21,880 --> 01:31:24,160 Speaker 1: We had suitor who was picked by a Republican and 1826 01:31:24,160 --> 01:31:27,639 Speaker 1: became a liberal member of the court. But they're also 1827 01:31:27,760 --> 01:31:30,719 Speaker 1: not home runs. And we're also seeing how issues have evolved. 1828 01:31:30,840 --> 01:31:33,320 Speaker 1: So for decades, the top concern of a lot of 1829 01:31:33,320 --> 01:31:36,040 Speaker 1: conservatives was, oh, we need to overturn Roey Wade, for example, 1830 01:31:36,240 --> 01:31:38,400 Speaker 1: we now have that, we need to be thinking about 1831 01:31:38,640 --> 01:31:42,519 Speaker 1: what are the other issues that we're looking towards. And so, 1832 01:31:42,600 --> 01:31:44,640 Speaker 1: for example, now it's a much bigger deal. You have 1833 01:31:44,680 --> 01:31:47,400 Speaker 1: to have justices who are ready to overturn you know, 1834 01:31:47,479 --> 01:31:51,280 Speaker 1: the DEI regime, the anti white, anti male discrimination stuff, 1835 01:31:51,280 --> 01:31:55,200 Speaker 1: really enforce that stuff, and not everyone is great on that, 1836 01:31:55,240 --> 01:31:57,680 Speaker 1: and you have to make sure you're getting justices who 1837 01:31:57,680 --> 01:31:59,800 Speaker 1: will be skilled at that and also skilled at the 1838 01:31:59,840 --> 01:32:02,240 Speaker 1: co relition building aspect of it. And I talk to 1839 01:32:02,240 --> 01:32:05,080 Speaker 1: people who are clerks lawyers, and they have a lot 1840 01:32:05,080 --> 01:32:07,680 Speaker 1: of a lot of interesting takes on this because there 1841 01:32:07,680 --> 01:32:11,280 Speaker 1: are judges who might be really good on the ideology stuff, 1842 01:32:11,280 --> 01:32:13,800 Speaker 1: but they alienate people. And then there are judges who 1843 01:32:13,840 --> 01:32:16,240 Speaker 1: are good on the ideology stuff, but they're also very 1844 01:32:16,280 --> 01:32:19,160 Speaker 1: good at that back room dealing stuff, and it's very 1845 01:32:19,240 --> 01:32:20,160 Speaker 1: interesting to talk to them. 1846 01:32:20,240 --> 01:32:25,000 Speaker 15: Yeah, you have a lot of connections within within this area. 1847 01:32:25,080 --> 01:32:27,600 Speaker 14: You're always talking to clerks and you backchannel with a 1848 01:32:27,600 --> 01:32:29,280 Speaker 14: lot of these people. So I take your word for this, 1849 01:32:29,520 --> 01:32:32,160 Speaker 14: I think there. I will tell you I not too 1850 01:32:32,160 --> 01:32:33,880 Speaker 14: long ago, I was back east, was in DC, and 1851 01:32:33,880 --> 01:32:35,680 Speaker 14: I was meeting with some people that this is all 1852 01:32:35,720 --> 01:32:40,559 Speaker 14: they focus on. It is picking and sifting through the 1853 01:32:40,600 --> 01:32:43,720 Speaker 14: potential nominees for a next Supreme Court justice. And there's 1854 01:32:43,720 --> 01:32:46,479 Speaker 14: already names being floated, they're being vetted right now, I'm 1855 01:32:46,479 --> 01:32:49,800 Speaker 14: telling you. So there's work being done, and there's a 1856 01:32:49,840 --> 01:32:51,599 Speaker 14: lot of disagreement about who's going to be the best, 1857 01:32:51,600 --> 01:32:53,720 Speaker 14: who's going to be the right pick. But it's very 1858 01:32:53,720 --> 01:32:57,160 Speaker 14: possible that Trump will have another pick or potentially two. 1859 01:32:57,479 --> 01:33:00,120 Speaker 1: And we might have a majority Trump chosen Supreme Court 1860 01:33:00,120 --> 01:33:02,160 Speaker 1: and it would be a huge miss if that's not 1861 01:33:02,280 --> 01:33:03,439 Speaker 1: an amazing Supreme Court. 1862 01:33:03,520 --> 01:33:05,720 Speaker 14: There's a lot of people that don't want it to 1863 01:33:05,800 --> 01:33:08,320 Speaker 14: just go through the Federalist Society again. So that's a 1864 01:33:08,320 --> 01:33:11,160 Speaker 14: whole can of worms for another day. It's been a 1865 01:33:11,200 --> 01:33:12,280 Speaker 14: fun show. We'll be back tomorrow. 1866 01:33:12,320 --> 01:33:12,680 Speaker 15: See then,
