<v Speaker 1>the hotline. Steve Moore. How you doing, hey.

0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:46.040
<v Speaker 2>Mark, I'm doing pretty well, although I'm getting a little

0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:48.440
<v Speaker 2>bit seasick watching this market go up and down and

0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:51.120
<v Speaker 2>up and down. I mean, we had a fabulous week

0:00:51.159 --> 0:00:53.600
<v Speaker 2>and then today there was a pretty big sellof but

0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:56.440
<v Speaker 2>overall it was a pretty good week. And look, I

0:00:56.440 --> 0:00:59.600
<v Speaker 2>think the economy is looking stronger. Trump is coming back

0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:03.280
<v Speaker 2>with a couple of big victories and is from China.

0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:06.679
<v Speaker 2>Looks like he got some good deals with with a

0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:09.959
<v Speaker 2>president g there in Beijing. So I'm doing pretty bullish,

0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:10.920
<v Speaker 2>pretty good about things.

0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:12.800
<v Speaker 1>So if things went so well in China, why the

0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:15.480
<v Speaker 1>market drop? Are they worried that he's going to go

0:01:15.560 --> 0:01:18.080
<v Speaker 1>back to bombing Iran or something like that.

0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:22.199
<v Speaker 2>Well, everything is so dependent right now, mark on what's

0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:25.039
<v Speaker 2>happening in the in the Strait of Hormuz and whether

0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:29.600
<v Speaker 2>that oil is flowing and right now. The last time

0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:31.639
<v Speaker 2>I checked them and looked in the last couple of hours,

0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:33.640
<v Speaker 2>but it was about one hundred dollars a barrel oil.

0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:37.759
<v Speaker 2>Remember before Duran conflicts started, we were about seventy dollars

0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:40.360
<v Speaker 2>a barrel. So when the price of oil goes up,

0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:42.240
<v Speaker 2>and the price of gasoline goes up, and the price

0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:45.160
<v Speaker 2>of energy goes up, it affects everything. It affects groceries,

0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:49.440
<v Speaker 2>it affects housing, it effects transportation. So but you know,

0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:51.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to use the word resilient. This is an

0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:56.880
<v Speaker 2>incredibly resilient economy, even though we've taken the shock hit

0:01:57.000 --> 0:02:01.680
<v Speaker 2>from the from the oil price in you know, look

0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:05.400
<v Speaker 2>at the investment by businesses very good. You look at

0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:08.440
<v Speaker 2>consumers are still spending, although they're getting angry when they

0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:10.320
<v Speaker 2>go to this gas pump. I know, my wife does.

0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:15.079
<v Speaker 2>And so that's the kind of situation. But I really

0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:18.520
<v Speaker 2>believe once this gets resolved in the Middle East, we

0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:23.399
<v Speaker 2>are primed for a major, major boom in the US economy,

0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:25.080
<v Speaker 2>just like we saw last year. I mean, last year

0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:27.720
<v Speaker 2>was a very good year. And people forget, before the

0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:30.600
<v Speaker 2>ram conflicts started, we had the lowest gas prices in

0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:32.920
<v Speaker 2>forty years adjusted for inflation.

0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so all you read about is the high gas prices. Now,

0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:38.679
<v Speaker 1>when this thing is over and the gas prices plunge,

0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:41.399
<v Speaker 1>you'll never hear about it. You'll never read about it anywhere.

0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:44.799
<v Speaker 1>It won't report it. But hey, the other good thing

0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:47.400
<v Speaker 1>besides getting rid of the worst terrorist regime in the world,

0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:49.640
<v Speaker 1>it looks like we might be getting rid of Opek.

0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:50.680
<v Speaker 1>Wouldn't that be a good thing?

0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:54.639
<v Speaker 2>Wow, that'd be so amazing, you know. So I'm sixty

0:02:55.280 --> 0:02:58.640
<v Speaker 2>six years old now, so for most of my life,

0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:02.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, the oil price has been dictated by this

0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:06.960
<v Speaker 2>cartel Opek, And you know, for decades now, they've had

0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:09.200
<v Speaker 2>a blade at our neck. And they could, you know,

0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:11.480
<v Speaker 2>just by turning on and off the spigots, they could

0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:15.639
<v Speaker 2>throw the American economy into a recession and cause real hardship.

0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:18.120
<v Speaker 2>I remember when I was a kid and my you know,

0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:21.120
<v Speaker 2>the sixteen years old, going up in Chicago and we

0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:24.560
<v Speaker 2>get up in the February morning and meet five degrees

0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:27.000
<v Speaker 2>and we'd pack up in the station wagon and have

0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:29.000
<v Speaker 2>to drive to the gas station. We'd be ateh the

0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:30.320
<v Speaker 2>line to get gas.

0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:34.920
<v Speaker 1>They ste gas lines around the block. Back then, exactly, Hey,

0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:37.640
<v Speaker 1>if you read the New York Times or you watch MSNBC,

0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:42.400
<v Speaker 1>our economies a total shambles. China's the most biggest powerful economy.

0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:43.680
<v Speaker 1>What is the truth?

0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:47.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh? My god, So you know, here's There was a

0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:50.040
<v Speaker 2>big piece in New York Times, shock Shocked that said, oh,

0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:52.760
<v Speaker 2>China is just kicking our body. The economy is doing

0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:54.080
<v Speaker 2>so well, and they're going to leave us in a

0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:56.520
<v Speaker 2>cloud of dust. And I just looked at the evidence.

0:03:56.560 --> 0:04:01.680
<v Speaker 2>Over the last ten fifteen years, we've been beating China.

0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:04.560
<v Speaker 2>Our stock marker has got way way up. Theirs has

0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:08.680
<v Speaker 2>been flatlined. We still produce way more than the Chinese do. Now, look,

0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:12.040
<v Speaker 2>I take the China threat very seriously as Trump does.

0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:14.320
<v Speaker 2>And they are in an enemy, in an adversary of

0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:16.599
<v Speaker 2>the United States, and they're an enemy and adversary of

0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:19.920
<v Speaker 2>freedom and so Trump I was very glad to see

0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:23.120
<v Speaker 2>he took a very hard line, you know with President

0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:27.080
<v Speaker 2>g and these negotiations, because the real issue of the

0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:30.200
<v Speaker 2>next twenty to thirty years will the United States or

0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:33.839
<v Speaker 2>China be the world economic superpower? And Mark, I'm going

0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:35.880
<v Speaker 2>to put it my money on the United States as

0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:38.360
<v Speaker 2>long as we don't elect AOC as president.

0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:43.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. No, China economy is not strong. In fact, they're

0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:45.520
<v Speaker 1>trying to alter their business model a little with the

0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:48.000
<v Speaker 1>exporting and all that. The fact that the President brought

0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:51.719
<v Speaker 1>the most powerful, biggest business leaders in the world with

0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:54.320
<v Speaker 1>him in his entorage that was pretty impressive and almost

0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:56.160
<v Speaker 1>intimidating to China, wasn't it.

0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:59.200
<v Speaker 2>I think? So? I mean you had you had you

0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:02.080
<v Speaker 2>know a number of billionaires in that room. Who are

0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:04.680
<v Speaker 2>the I think Elon Musk was there? Was he not?

0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:08.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? Musk and Tim Cook and in video all those things.

0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:12.840
<v Speaker 2>These guys are creating these incredible companies, Uh that are

0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:14.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, some of these companies are work more than

0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:17.880
<v Speaker 2>some entire countries are. So they've done very well.

0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:18.400
<v Speaker 1>They're creating.

0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:21.839
<v Speaker 2>And look, all of us benefit when American companies benefit

0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:24.120
<v Speaker 2>because we almost all of us have four one k

0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:27.360
<v Speaker 2>plans and money invested in the market, and you know,

0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:30.080
<v Speaker 2>so uh so that's a good thing for America that

0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:32.320
<v Speaker 2>we've been so dominant. And I would say this the

0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:37.479
<v Speaker 2>big issue for America going forward is will the United States.

0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:42.359
<v Speaker 2>I think we will dominate the AI and robotics age

0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:46.360
<v Speaker 2>that's coming in the way that we've completely dominated mark

0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:49.520
<v Speaker 2>the Internet age. You know, we have these incredible companies

0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:53.760
<v Speaker 2>like Amazon and Google and Microsoft and on and on,

0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:56.760
<v Speaker 2>and now we have you know, in Nvidia and Tropic

0:05:56.920 --> 0:05:58.920
<v Speaker 2>and so I want to make sure. I think one

0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:01.599
<v Speaker 2>of Trump's you know, missions in life, is to make

0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:04.279
<v Speaker 2>sure that we remain number one. And I want to

0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:06.760
<v Speaker 2>mention something else that my may mark, which is the

0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:11.080
<v Speaker 2>tax cut, the big beautiful bill, huge positive impact on investment.

0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:12.720
<v Speaker 2>And by the way, I like getting a little bit

0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:15.440
<v Speaker 2>bigger reef on this year. I don't know about you.

0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:18.479
<v Speaker 1>No, it was good. It was good. However, bear in

0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:20.720
<v Speaker 1>mind I live in New York. How bad are our

0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:21.800
<v Speaker 1>taxes here in New York?

0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:25.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, my god, you know, we were just looking at

0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:28.960
<v Speaker 2>the per capita state and local taxes. This was in

0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:31.120
<v Speaker 2>our hotline this morning. So we're looking at all the

0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:34.640
<v Speaker 2>fifty states and not only does New York have the

0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:38.520
<v Speaker 2>highest per capita tax burden of any state. Are you

0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:40.440
<v Speaker 2>ready for this? Mark? Are you sitting down right now?

0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:42.560
<v Speaker 1>I hope for this. I better be lying down. I

0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:44.040
<v Speaker 1>think New York.

0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:49.120
<v Speaker 2>Is now has a per capita tax burden that's per person,

0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:53.800
<v Speaker 2>that's almost twice as high as most states. What money go?

0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:55.280
<v Speaker 2>Where's that all the money going?

0:06:57.480 --> 0:07:00.359
<v Speaker 1>Well, you know, they just put out the bar for

0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:02.760
<v Speaker 1>New York City one hundred and twenty four billion. That's

0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:06.200
<v Speaker 1>double the budget of the whole state of Florida. It's

0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:09.400
<v Speaker 1>just waste and fraud. What do we do?

0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:12.200
<v Speaker 2>And there's no evidence that you know, the one thing?

0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:13.800
<v Speaker 2>Did I go to from New York a lot? As

0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:15.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, I work for the Wall Street Journal and

0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:17.720
<v Speaker 2>don't anymore, But I did, And I used to go

0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:20.160
<v Speaker 2>up to Manhattan all the time, and it's still new.

0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:22.800
<v Speaker 2>And I've been to Florida many times. And I got

0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:26.520
<v Speaker 2>to tell you, Florida has better services, you know, better

0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:29.800
<v Speaker 2>public services than New York does and they spend half

0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:31.239
<v Speaker 2>as much money. How did it happen?

0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:34.520
<v Speaker 1>Well, again, it's all waste and fraud. You know, we

0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:38.480
<v Speaker 1>spend it costs forty thousand a mile to pave a highway,

0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:42.000
<v Speaker 1>we spend a million a mile. It's stuff like that. Yeah,

0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:44.920
<v Speaker 1>and there's nobody to crack down on this or do anything,

0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:48.800
<v Speaker 1>certainly not Democrats. How can we can we ever fix this?

0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:52.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, how about you know the mayor of New York City,

0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:56.120
<v Speaker 2>Mondamine saying, you know, they're running a multi billion dollar devaity,

0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:59.440
<v Speaker 2>So we can't find anywhere to cut in our budget. Really,

0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:02.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you got one hundred billion dollar budget. You

0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:05.000
<v Speaker 2>couldn't find anything. So they want to raise taxes again.

0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:07.720
<v Speaker 2>And so this is the big story in America today,

0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:09.800
<v Speaker 2>the Blue states. All they want to do is raise

0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:11.640
<v Speaker 2>taxes high or hire. And how we're going to tax

0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:14.080
<v Speaker 2>the rich, tax the companies, tax with the stack if

0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:16.240
<v Speaker 2>you're success. By the way, they've defined someone who's rich

0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:18.680
<v Speaker 2>as anyone who has a job. Right, And so where

0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:20.400
<v Speaker 2>are all the all the people going, Where are the

0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:22.400
<v Speaker 2>company is going? Where is the money going? It's going

0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:25.120
<v Speaker 2>into the red states. I mean there's been a two

0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:33.040
<v Speaker 2>trillion dollar massive transfer of income and wealth out of

0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:37.840
<v Speaker 2>Blue states like California, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts.

0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:40.439
<v Speaker 2>Where's it all going? Oh, it's going to the Carolinas.

0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:43.319
<v Speaker 2>It's going to Texas, it's going to Florida, it's going

0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:45.800
<v Speaker 2>to Tennessee. By the way, Mark, do you know what Texas,

0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:52.000
<v Speaker 2>Tennessee and Florida have in common? No, no income tax?

0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:57.199
<v Speaker 1>Florida has no income tax. How are their services better?

0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:00.480
<v Speaker 1>And would you would you say There's schools are obviously better, right.

0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:04.280
<v Speaker 2>Because they as my mom used to say, my dear

0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:06.680
<v Speaker 2>old department, mom used to stay. They watched their p's

0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:07.200
<v Speaker 2>and q's.

0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:13.800
<v Speaker 1>But Florida they're talking about even getting rid of property text,

0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:15.160
<v Speaker 1>how would that even be possible?

0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:17.640
<v Speaker 2>And well, you know, this is a state that has

0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:20.440
<v Speaker 2>so much money coming in, so many businesses coming in

0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:23.839
<v Speaker 2>that they're able. You know, when you have economic growth

0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:27.760
<v Speaker 2>and you've got prosperity, guess what that helps pay the bills.

0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:30.760
<v Speaker 2>And that's why you know Texas the same thing. I mean,

0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:34.720
<v Speaker 2>my gosh, Texas Dallas is pretty practically the new Wall Street.

0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:37.839
<v Speaker 1>Wow. Hey, hey, Steve Moore, you know I used to

0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:40.240
<v Speaker 1>get my mail. You get a whole big bunch of envelopes.

0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:42.320
<v Speaker 1>You know, I get my mail. Not it's like one thing.

0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:44.840
<v Speaker 1>Do we really still even need this postal service?

0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:49.719
<v Speaker 2>But the postal service has lost one hundred and twenty

0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:54.000
<v Speaker 2>billion dollars. What eleven years one hundred and twenty billion dollars,

0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:56.679
<v Speaker 2>you know, I think, look, we all have a kind

0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:59.400
<v Speaker 2>of romantic vision of the blue and white and red

0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:02.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, trucks and the mail man coming to the door.

0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:04.960
<v Speaker 2>But let's face it, you know, in ten years there's

0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:07.200
<v Speaker 2>not going to be a lot of snail mail left.

0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:11.160
<v Speaker 2>It's a dying industry. I think it's probably time to

0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:13.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's like the telegram. Whence the last time

0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:13.920
<v Speaker 2>you got a telegraph.

0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:16.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't think you can send one anymore. Is there

0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:16.520
<v Speaker 1>such a thing?

0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:19.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So they've got to they've got to do something

0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:21.960
<v Speaker 2>about this because they can't keep losing, you know. And

0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:26.280
<v Speaker 2>when I say they, who's who's who's absorbing all that that?

0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:28.520
<v Speaker 2>Those losses you and I and all the people who

0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:31.160
<v Speaker 2>pay taxes. So it's just it's losing more and more

0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:34.240
<v Speaker 2>money all the time. And let's have some company. Let's

0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:37.560
<v Speaker 2>let anybody, you know, FedEx or any of these ups

0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:40.760
<v Speaker 2>or any service. They should be able to deliver the

0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:43.200
<v Speaker 2>mail and they wouldn't lose as much money as the

0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:45.040
<v Speaker 2>postal service does. By the way, the cost of a

0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:47.240
<v Speaker 2>stamp in just the last ten years has gone up

0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:48.840
<v Speaker 2>eighty percent. They're still losing money.

0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:52.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well I got these forever stamps which you just

0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:54.480
<v Speaker 1>use them forever whatever I paid for them.

0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:59.439
<v Speaker 2>My advice is use him quickly, folks.

0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:03.560
<v Speaker 1>All right, Well Steve Moore, great stuff. Now you should

0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:07.160

<v Speaker 1>All right, take care. Yeah. Actually I don't even mail

<v Speaker 1>any checks anymore. Online banking. You know, it's actually safer

0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:41.760
<v Speaker 1>now you put stuff in the mailbox. There's mailbox thiefs

0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:44.120
<v Speaker 1>that steal all the envelopes looking for checks in there.

0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:47.600
<v Speaker 1>You're actually safer now with online banking. Hey, we got

<v Speaker 3>You know what, Mark, any day that I get to

0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:19.280
<v Speaker 3>spend with you and your illustrious talent is a day

0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:22.280
<v Speaker 3>that I don't even deserve the fact that I get

0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:24.400
<v Speaker 3>to be here among such greatness.

0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:26.520
<v Speaker 1>What a phone?

0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:29.240
<v Speaker 4>I feel like that's kind of what happened between g

0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:32.480
<v Speaker 4>and Trump. No, you're wonderful. No, no, no, you're wonderful.

0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:35.840
<v Speaker 1>Yes, uh no. Hey, she agreed to a lot of stuff.

0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:37.959
<v Speaker 1>He agreed to buy two hundred Boeing jets, he agreed

0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:40.120
<v Speaker 1>to help with the RAM. Well, now the good news

0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:40.920
<v Speaker 1>is they never live up.

0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:41.959
<v Speaker 4>Then I was gonna say, I.

0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:45.080
<v Speaker 3>Was like, well, you know, it's kind of like promises

0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:47.880
<v Speaker 3>me promises, kep, we shall see you know, show me

0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:48.520
<v Speaker 3>your actions.

0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:52.480
<v Speaker 1>Tire history. China's never lived up to an no one thing.

0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:55.080
<v Speaker 1>That's why it's heeasy to negotiate with them. How about

0:12:55.080 --> 0:12:56.280
<v Speaker 1>eight hundred Yitess you got it.

0:12:56.480 --> 0:12:59.480
<v Speaker 4>That's great. Absolutely, it's like the Ponzi scheme of all

0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:00.360
<v Speaker 4>Ponzi's schemes.

0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:03.240
<v Speaker 3>Whatever you say, we got it. In fact, we got

0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:04.440
<v Speaker 3>four of them, all yours.

0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:06.680
<v Speaker 4>Whatever you need, just give us, you know is what

0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:07.079
<v Speaker 4>are you gonna do?

0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:08.439
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't buy the jets, what are you gonna do?

0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:10.400
<v Speaker 1>Take the court as nothing.

0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:14.480
<v Speaker 3>Although I did think I'm curious how the summit was

0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:20.160
<v Speaker 3>written up in Chinese newspapers. Obviously the government is overseeing everything,

0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:23.280
<v Speaker 3>but there's a lot of undercurrent, you know, Epoch Times

0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:26.120
<v Speaker 3>talks about that a lot that there's this undercurrent of

0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:28.280
<v Speaker 3>news where you can find out what's actually really going

0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:31.040
<v Speaker 3>on and what the Chinese people think. And obviously before

0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:33.600
<v Speaker 3>the American detail got back on Air Force one, they

0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:36.640
<v Speaker 3>dumped everything, every gift.

0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:40.160
<v Speaker 4>Every on your phone, every everything went into the trash.

0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:42.160
<v Speaker 4>So I'm like, okay, yeah.

0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:44.560
<v Speaker 1>Everything is bug tampered with, embedded with stuff. So they

0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:45.600
<v Speaker 1>get rid of everything.

0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:47.959
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So I'm kind of curious about, you know, how

0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:49.520
<v Speaker 3>that was written up, like if they thought was it

0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:52.160
<v Speaker 3>was ungrateful or I don't know where they would have

0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:54.080
<v Speaker 3>disposed of said items.

0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:56.239
<v Speaker 1>Right over the ocean Jesus.

0:13:56.600 --> 0:13:58.520
<v Speaker 3>But do you know what I'm saying, Like, how do

0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:01.560
<v Speaker 3>you tactfully do that? Because they're in a surveillance state

0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:04.360
<v Speaker 3>quite literally, So no matter what you do, no matter

0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:07.160
<v Speaker 3>where you go, no matter what you're throwing away, right, Yeah,

0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:07.560
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:09.760
<v Speaker 1>They probably brought like some kind of secure bag to.

0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:11.839
<v Speaker 4>Lock it in, and then I guess I don't know.

0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Hey, my phone is blowing up right now.

0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:15.079
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, people are upset.

0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:17.680
<v Speaker 1>Huh No, because I went to the doctor today. Oh,

0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:20.400
<v Speaker 1>you make a doctor's appointment, you get a text before

0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:22.280
<v Speaker 1>you even hang up, thank you for making your appointment.

0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:25.600
<v Speaker 1>Click here. Then I get a text every five minutes

0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:27.280
<v Speaker 1>just to confirm your appointment.

0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:30.000
<v Speaker 3>I actually asked my friend about this, who's a physician,

0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:31.080
<v Speaker 3>and she's pretty.

0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:33.080
<v Speaker 4>She's here in New York and she's got a great practice.

0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:35.560
<v Speaker 3>And I said to her, you know your office, since

0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:38.080
<v Speaker 3>like thirty nine text messages to day off, I already

0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:40.120
<v Speaker 3>told you I was coming. She goes, we have zero

0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:42.440
<v Speaker 3>control over that. She's like, it's a hot mess. We

0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:43.240
<v Speaker 3>can't control it.

0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:45.840
<v Speaker 4>It's super annoying, you know, shut it down.

0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:48.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm walking to the doctor's I'm like a block away.

0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:50.960
<v Speaker 1>You can check in now if you want text, so.

0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:51.960
<v Speaker 4>Can we talk about that?

0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:54.320
<v Speaker 3>Is there a reason why I can no longer check in?

0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:56.640
<v Speaker 3>I went to the dentist today. They are lovely. By

0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:59.640
<v Speaker 3>the way, if anybody's looking for a dentist, doctor Abadeinio

0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:03.160

<v Speaker 4>in person. I don't need to predo anything.

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's the way to do it, you know. I

0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:15.640
<v Speaker 1>go to the doctor, he's great. I'm leaving. I walk out.

0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:17.320

<v Speaker 1>get a text. How was your appointment? Take our survey?

0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:20.640
<v Speaker 4>It's ridiculous.

<v Speaker 3>I had the they came to like college hunks taking

0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:25.360

0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:27.040
<v Speaker 3>survey requests. I'm like, yeah, they were great.

0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:27.680

<v Speaker 1>impressive entourage he brought with him, wasn't it?

0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:28.400
<v Speaker 5>Oh? It was incredible And I mean he had, of

0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:31.240
<v Speaker 5>course his fantastic cabinet, but he had all the big

0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:35.160
<v Speaker 5>business people that I'm sure President g was very keen

0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:39.800
<v Speaker 5>to get his clutches into. So it seemed to.

0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:40.840
<v Speaker 2>Go off really well.

0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:44.040
<v Speaker 1>Now you think this was better than Joe Biden bringing

0:16:44.120 --> 0:16:46.840
<v Speaker 1>his crazy son Hunter that was his entourage.

0:16:49.120 --> 0:16:52.040
<v Speaker 5>It's so funny that you say that exactly. How could

0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:57.200
<v Speaker 5>we forget December twenty thirteen, there was Joe Biden arriving

0:16:57.200 --> 0:17:00.520
<v Speaker 5>on Air Force two, and behind him trooping along in

0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:05.600
<v Speaker 5>his groovy sunglasses, just like dad was Hunter. And you know,

0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:09.919
<v Speaker 5>Joe Biden was supposed to leave China with things for

0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:15.720
<v Speaker 5>America and he didn't. China just kept on militarizing the

0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:20.040
<v Speaker 5>South China Sea, kept on stealing our ip. Joe Biden

0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:23.520
<v Speaker 5>got nothing, but Hunter Biden got a share in a

0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:28.359
<v Speaker 5>billion dollar company. You know, I don't think that Donald

0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:31.320
<v Speaker 5>Trump was doing that. Instead, I think he got a

0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:35.239
<v Speaker 5>whole lot of promises from China. Let's see. I mean,

0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:38.760
<v Speaker 5>you never trust a thing they say, but to invest

0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:41.520
<v Speaker 5>in America. And you know he brought along chim Apple

0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:46.320
<v Speaker 5>and Elon Musk and the sort of business titans of America.

0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:49.160
<v Speaker 5>And so I think it has to be good for us.

0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:53.400
<v Speaker 5>Even though China is an adversary, we have to learn

0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:54.520
<v Speaker 5>how to get along with them.

0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:57.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, now you're the Hunter expert. Hunter made as you said,

0:17:57.760 --> 0:17:59.840
<v Speaker 1>he had that billion dollar deal. He made millions in

0:17:59.840 --> 0:18:02.720
<v Speaker 1>the Ukraine, he made millions on the paintings. Why is

0:18:02.760 --> 0:18:05.800
<v Speaker 1>he now broke. Apparently Campase bills.

0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:09.960
<v Speaker 5>Well, he says he's broke to the court because Abby

0:18:10.080 --> 0:18:16.440
<v Speaker 5>loll hilariously. His lawyer is looking for money, and I mean,

0:18:17.320 --> 0:18:20.399
<v Speaker 5>I hear it's millions of dollars that he's owed. And

0:18:20.480 --> 0:18:25.520
<v Speaker 5>obviously his sugar brother Kevin Morris in California has closed

0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:29.840
<v Speaker 5>his wallet, having forked out several million dollars to keep

0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:34.560
<v Speaker 5>Hunter in the lifestyle that he's become used to. Hunter

0:18:34.760 --> 0:18:37.040
<v Speaker 5>is still living high on the hog. He told the

0:18:37.040 --> 0:18:40.040
<v Speaker 5>court that he was living overseas, which is why he

0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:43.320
<v Speaker 5>couldn't show up in person. And he has been known

0:18:43.480 --> 0:18:47.760
<v Speaker 5>to travel and have holidays in South Africa, which his

0:18:48.680 --> 0:18:54.720
<v Speaker 5>new wife's second home or original home, but he's not

0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:58.680
<v Speaker 5>there all the time. He's constantly popping up in California

0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:05.640
<v Speaker 5>at various places that expensive restaurants, at swanky digs of billionaires,

0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:10.639
<v Speaker 5>where I suppose he's still getting free holidays, free vacation time.

0:19:11.720 --> 0:19:16.600
<v Speaker 5>And in fact, London Roberts his baby mama, whose little

0:19:16.600 --> 0:19:19.880
<v Speaker 5>girl Navy must be God, she'd be six by now,

0:19:19.920 --> 0:19:25.720
<v Speaker 5>I think, and Hunter. She kindly agreed to Hunter reducing

0:19:25.760 --> 0:19:29.639
<v Speaker 5>his child support payments, and then he renigged on the

0:19:29.720 --> 0:19:33.199
<v Speaker 5>new cheaper deal been paying her, so she's had to

0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:36.800
<v Speaker 5>go back to court. And as her lawyer, who's fantastic

0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:41.600
<v Speaker 5>Clint Lancaster pointed out in the Arkansas court, Hunter has

0:19:41.680 --> 0:19:47.640
<v Speaker 5>been living the high life. And Clint Lancaster just listed

0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:50.959
<v Speaker 5>out a whole lot of the swanky restaurants and you

0:19:50.960 --> 0:19:55.800
<v Speaker 5>know the expensive rentals that he has. How on Earth,

0:19:55.880 --> 0:19:59.080
<v Speaker 5>when the man does not have a job he can

0:19:59.280 --> 0:20:02.240
<v Speaker 5>afford to live the way he does and you can

0:20:02.640 --> 0:20:05.119
<v Speaker 5>I mean, the trips back and forward to South Africa

0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:08.280
<v Speaker 5>are not cheap, and you can bet he's not flying economy.

0:20:09.560 --> 0:20:13.920
<v Speaker 1>So he has a current wife. You say, how desperate

0:20:13.960 --> 0:20:16.280
<v Speaker 1>do you have to be to marry Hunter Biden?

0:20:17.440 --> 0:20:20.080
<v Speaker 5>Well, I guess she was from South Africa, so she

0:20:20.080 --> 0:20:23.040
<v Speaker 5>didn't know any better. The only thing I can think.

0:20:23.320 --> 0:20:28.080
<v Speaker 5>And look, a lot of people are very attracted to celebrity,

0:20:28.920 --> 0:20:32.199
<v Speaker 5>and Hunter Biden is a sort of a celebrity. You know,

0:20:32.280 --> 0:20:36.320
<v Speaker 5>he's the son of the notorious son of who was

0:20:36.359 --> 0:20:38.919
<v Speaker 5>then the president when they got married, So that, I

0:20:38.920 --> 0:20:43.639
<v Speaker 5>guess is a pretty heady combination power and celebrity to

0:20:43.760 --> 0:20:46.679
<v Speaker 5>a young woman. So she's there, she seems to be.

0:20:47.760 --> 0:20:48.680
<v Speaker 2>She's still with him.

0:20:48.720 --> 0:20:50.679
<v Speaker 5>They have a son together, so they seem to be

0:20:50.720 --> 0:20:52.679
<v Speaker 5>happy enough, but who knows.

0:20:53.560 --> 0:20:55.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm sure this will have a very happy ending,

0:20:55.680 --> 0:20:58.959
<v Speaker 1>this marriage. But what does Joe Biden do all day?

0:20:58.960 --> 0:21:00.440
<v Speaker 1>We don't hear from What do is think he does

0:21:00.480 --> 0:21:00.880
<v Speaker 1>all day?

0:21:02.160 --> 0:21:04.639
<v Speaker 5>Well? I actually quite like the fact that it's the

0:21:04.680 --> 0:21:07.280
<v Speaker 5>one good thing I will say about Joe Biden, although

0:21:07.320 --> 0:21:10.959
<v Speaker 5>he may not have any control over it. We haven't

0:21:11.040 --> 0:21:13.320
<v Speaker 5>seen very much of him at all. He gives the

0:21:13.680 --> 0:21:18.679
<v Speaker 5>occasional ridiculous speech, but he's obviously his services are not

0:21:18.880 --> 0:21:22.239
<v Speaker 5>sought after as a speech giver. But the person that

0:21:22.280 --> 0:21:27.200
<v Speaker 5>we see ad nauseum the former president is Barack Obama.

0:21:27.520 --> 0:21:33.160
<v Speaker 5>Unlike all other past presidents, he inserts himself repeatedly into

0:21:33.200 --> 0:21:38.240
<v Speaker 5>the political process in a very slimy, cunning, sly way.

0:21:38.880 --> 0:21:42.400
<v Speaker 5>And whenever I see Barack Obama pop up, I think

0:21:42.400 --> 0:21:47.600
<v Speaker 5>to myself, there's trouble brewing. Trouble always follows him. I

0:21:47.600 --> 0:21:50.840
<v Speaker 5>think part of the reason that he's so frenetically involved

0:21:50.840 --> 0:21:54.119
<v Speaker 5>in the Democrats issues now is not because he's a

0:21:54.160 --> 0:21:57.199
<v Speaker 5>great party man and he wants to help the party

0:21:57.200 --> 0:22:02.360
<v Speaker 5>that's in dire straits. I think it's because he's concerned

0:22:02.640 --> 0:22:07.919
<v Speaker 5>that the Trump doj is closing in on him. That

0:22:08.040 --> 0:22:13.800
<v Speaker 5>there's a attorney in Florida, Jason Miarez, who is looking

0:22:13.840 --> 0:22:18.479
<v Speaker 5>at a conspiracy case which involves all of those people

0:22:18.840 --> 0:22:24.119
<v Speaker 5>James Comey, John Brennan, James Clapper, etc. Who were involved

0:22:24.200 --> 0:22:32.119
<v Speaker 5>in that dodgy intelligence assessment just after the election in

0:22:32.160 --> 0:22:37.720
<v Speaker 5>twenty sixteen that basically fingered Donald Trump or framed Donald

0:22:37.720 --> 0:22:42.080
<v Speaker 5>Trump I should say, as an agent of Vladimir Putin,

0:22:42.680 --> 0:22:46.320
<v Speaker 5>and kept that Russia hook collusion hoax going right through

0:22:46.359 --> 0:22:51.159
<v Speaker 5>the Muller investigation and crippled Donald Trump at least the

0:22:51.200 --> 0:22:54.639
<v Speaker 5>first half of his presidency and has left, you know,

0:22:54.920 --> 0:22:58.240
<v Speaker 5>attained ever since. There's still some people who still believe

0:22:58.600 --> 0:23:03.080
<v Speaker 5>that Donald Trump is a rush An agent. So Barack Obama,

0:23:03.600 --> 0:23:07.040
<v Speaker 5>he was the one who held the meeting, who came

0:23:07.160 --> 0:23:11.640
<v Speaker 5>up with this, or instructed his minions Brennan and co.

0:23:12.240 --> 0:23:16.159
<v Speaker 5>To do his bidding and create this false intelligence assessment.

0:23:17.080 --> 0:23:19.760
<v Speaker 5>And he's gotten off scott free. And you just hear

0:23:19.840 --> 0:23:24.960
<v Speaker 5>rumbles sometimes, you know, when I interview some senior administration people,

0:23:24.960 --> 0:23:28.320
<v Speaker 5>that maybe Barack Obama is not going to get off

0:23:28.400 --> 0:23:31.680
<v Speaker 5>scott free. So I think he might be worried and

0:23:31.720 --> 0:23:36.439
<v Speaker 5>he's trying to keep his profile high so that it

0:23:36.560 --> 0:23:39.560
<v Speaker 5>seems like if they do in diet him, will come

0:23:39.600 --> 0:23:42.679
<v Speaker 5>after him in some way that he can pretend that

0:23:42.760 --> 0:23:46.800
<v Speaker 5>it's because he's such a potent political adversary, they're trying

0:23:46.800 --> 0:23:47.920
<v Speaker 5>to neutralize him.

0:23:48.200 --> 0:23:52.520
<v Speaker 1>Ah. Interesting, So hey, Miranda Devine, your latest calm. It's

0:23:52.560 --> 0:23:55.680
<v Speaker 1>a great combat the violence, which is all coming from

0:23:55.680 --> 0:23:58.720
<v Speaker 1>the left. Yet all the you know, the Biden types

0:23:58.800 --> 0:24:04.359
<v Speaker 1>kept talking about ultra maga domestic terrorists. Will the public

0:24:04.440 --> 0:24:06.920
<v Speaker 1>ever get the story straight from the regular media?

0:24:08.640 --> 0:24:13.680
<v Speaker 5>I don't think so. It really is quite scary and

0:24:14.320 --> 0:24:18.640
<v Speaker 5>sinister that you still have the New York Times talking about,

0:24:19.440 --> 0:24:23.080
<v Speaker 5>you know, domestic terrorism being a right wing issue and

0:24:23.119 --> 0:24:28.400
<v Speaker 5>talking about right wing violence that is so outdated if

0:24:28.400 --> 0:24:31.359
<v Speaker 5>it was ever true at all. And they always rely

0:24:31.560 --> 0:24:35.240
<v Speaker 5>on January sixth, which was a riot at the Capitol

0:24:35.320 --> 0:24:41.000
<v Speaker 5>and reprehensible those people who broke in and you made

0:24:41.040 --> 0:24:44.840
<v Speaker 5>a mess, I guess, and fought with police more importantly,

0:24:45.720 --> 0:24:49.080
<v Speaker 5>but they were a minority of the Trump supporters who

0:24:49.280 --> 0:24:51.680
<v Speaker 5>turned up at the capitol, and many of those who

0:24:51.680 --> 0:24:56.560
<v Speaker 5>were indicted in the biggest FBI investigation in its history. Ridiculously,

0:24:57.600 --> 0:25:01.360
<v Speaker 5>we didn't even go into the Capitol. They were totally peaceful.

0:25:02.000 --> 0:25:05.600
<v Speaker 5>This was an unarmed protest or turned into a riot,

0:25:06.720 --> 0:25:10.760
<v Speaker 5>and only one person was killed, and that was Ashley

0:25:10.800 --> 0:25:15.280
<v Speaker 5>Babbitt by a Capital police officer who was then protected

0:25:15.720 --> 0:25:20.320
<v Speaker 5>and his name was suppressed, etc. Unlike all the cops

0:25:20.359 --> 0:25:25.400
<v Speaker 5>we had seen on the other side, and unlike the

0:25:25.440 --> 0:25:29.159
<v Speaker 5>reaction to the Summer of Love, the BLM and TIFA

0:25:29.240 --> 0:25:33.520
<v Speaker 5>riots that we all suffered through in twenty twenty, this

0:25:33.760 --> 0:25:36.560
<v Speaker 5>was brought up as if it was worse than Pearl Harbor.

0:25:36.640 --> 0:25:40.400
<v Speaker 5>That's what Kamala Harrison, Joe Biden said, worse than nine

0:25:40.440 --> 0:25:43.119
<v Speaker 5>to eleven the Capitol right. That went on for a

0:25:43.160 --> 0:25:45.480
<v Speaker 5>couple of hours. So the New York Times and the

0:25:45.560 --> 0:25:48.600
<v Speaker 5>Washington Posts go along with that narrative. And I don't

0:25:48.640 --> 0:25:52.280
<v Speaker 5>see them ever breaking from the Democrat narrative. And you're

0:25:52.320 --> 0:25:55.080
<v Speaker 5>seeing them even with their anti Israel, the New York

0:25:55.119 --> 0:26:00.439
<v Speaker 5>Times with its disgusting anti Israel lies, there's still running

0:26:00.840 --> 0:26:02.159
<v Speaker 5>the left wing playbooks.

0:26:02.560 --> 0:26:07.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, and you've had how many three assassination temps

0:26:07.640 --> 0:26:10.080
<v Speaker 1>on the president, plus if you count the guy with

0:26:10.160 --> 0:26:12.639
<v Speaker 1>the bomb heading to mar Alago. That's for you were

0:26:12.720 --> 0:26:15.200
<v Speaker 1>sitting there right at the White House Correspondence dinner when

0:26:15.200 --> 0:26:15.720
<v Speaker 1>that happened.

0:26:16.640 --> 0:26:21.760
<v Speaker 5>Yes, I was, and you know, it was remarkable how

0:26:21.960 --> 0:26:26.760
<v Speaker 5>calm and sanguine Donald Trump was just even while it

0:26:26.800 --> 0:26:31.359
<v Speaker 5>was all happening. He sort of just surveyed the room,

0:26:31.680 --> 0:26:34.760
<v Speaker 5>and I guess he saw that there was an immediate

0:26:34.840 --> 0:26:38.359
<v Speaker 5>danger from his vantage point up high, looking towards the

0:26:38.359 --> 0:26:40.760
<v Speaker 5>back of the room. I was sitting up the front,

0:26:40.800 --> 0:26:47.119
<v Speaker 5>facing towards him the stage, and so all I heard

0:26:47.440 --> 0:26:50.800
<v Speaker 5>was some plates what sounded like plates or glasses breaking,

0:26:50.800 --> 0:26:53.600
<v Speaker 5>and I just thought, Oh, a waiter's dropped a tray.

0:26:53.680 --> 0:26:59.119
<v Speaker 5>How embarrassing for them. And then everyone around me just

0:26:59.359 --> 0:27:02.800
<v Speaker 5>got under the table because I think, if you grew

0:27:02.880 --> 0:27:07.960
<v Speaker 5>up in America, which I didn't, you maybe I used to.

0:27:08.840 --> 0:27:13.800
<v Speaker 5>You've been trained, you've been drilled into, you know, take cover.

0:27:14.880 --> 0:27:17.280
<v Speaker 5>So I wasn't. So I was sitting there like a

0:27:17.280 --> 0:27:19.320
<v Speaker 5>bunny looking around and would have been a sitting duck

0:27:19.359 --> 0:27:21.440
<v Speaker 5>if if there had been a gunman in there, which

0:27:21.480 --> 0:27:24.720
<v Speaker 5>there could have been. And then I eventually went down,

0:27:24.720 --> 0:27:27.359
<v Speaker 5>and then Scott Bessant, who was I was sitting next

0:27:27.359 --> 0:27:31.600
<v Speaker 5>to Treasury Secretary by kindly offered me to go with him.

0:27:31.680 --> 0:27:35.520
<v Speaker 5>So we went back to his house and I continue

0:27:35.560 --> 0:27:39.840
<v Speaker 5>doing some work from back there. But it was, you know,

0:27:40.280 --> 0:27:45.720
<v Speaker 5>another frightening reminder of the fear. And well he doesn't

0:27:45.760 --> 0:27:48.480
<v Speaker 5>feel fear, it doesn't seem, but certainly the threat around

0:27:48.560 --> 0:27:52.200
<v Speaker 5>Donald Trump, they're never going to stop trying to kill him,

0:27:52.680 --> 0:27:57.000
<v Speaker 5>whether it be left wing assassin's young men who have

0:27:57.080 --> 0:28:02.360
<v Speaker 5>been groomed I believe, like Thomas Crooks, or whether it's Iran.

0:28:02.960 --> 0:28:06.120
<v Speaker 5>You know, whether Iran is behind any of these other attempts.

0:28:06.240 --> 0:28:10.240
<v Speaker 5>We know certainly there was one Iranian well he was

0:28:10.480 --> 0:28:14.480
<v Speaker 5>not Iranian, but he was ordered by the IRGC in

0:28:14.520 --> 0:28:18.320
<v Speaker 5>Iran to take out Donald Trump. And he was convicted

0:28:18.400 --> 0:28:23.320
<v Speaker 5>recently in New York. So these threats are known by

0:28:23.400 --> 0:28:27.919
<v Speaker 5>the Secret Service, by the CIA, by the FBI. I

0:28:27.960 --> 0:28:30.040
<v Speaker 5>think we just see the tip of the iceberg. And

0:28:30.359 --> 0:28:34.479
<v Speaker 5>it's really remarkable that President Trump just you know, popped

0:28:34.560 --> 0:28:38.200
<v Speaker 5>up just very shortly after that, gave a press conference

0:28:38.200 --> 0:28:41.680
<v Speaker 5>in his tuxedo and was just you know, making jokes

0:28:41.720 --> 0:28:46.640
<v Speaker 5>and on top of things and making everybody calm, because

0:28:47.160 --> 0:28:49.760
<v Speaker 5>I think you had the whole press gallery who then

0:28:49.920 --> 0:28:53.080
<v Speaker 5>had to assemble over at the White House, and they

0:28:53.200 --> 0:28:55.840
<v Speaker 5>I think they were calmed by the fact that he

0:28:55.960 --> 0:28:59.520
<v Speaker 5>wasn't panicked. I think the entire country gets calmed, just

0:28:59.680 --> 0:29:02.560
<v Speaker 5>like at Butler when he stood up and raised his

0:29:02.640 --> 0:29:05.719
<v Speaker 5>fist in the air, blood streaming down his face, and

0:29:05.760 --> 0:29:08.959
<v Speaker 5>said fight, fight, Fight. It just makes you realize that

0:29:09.040 --> 0:29:12.000
<v Speaker 5>things are not spiraling out of control. The president is

0:29:12.000 --> 0:29:15.720
<v Speaker 5>still the president, He's still in charge. And for most

0:29:15.760 --> 0:29:20.360
<v Speaker 5>Americans who aren't psychopaths or totally unhinged, that's a good thing.

0:29:20.960 --> 0:29:23.440
<v Speaker 5>And let's hope on keeping on well.
