1 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,600 Speaker 1: This is the primal scream of a dying regime. 2 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:11,559 Speaker 2: Pray for our enemies, because we're going to medieval. 3 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:11,680 Speaker 3: On these people. 4 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,520 Speaker 2: You're not going to free shot all these networks lying 5 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:17,160 Speaker 2: about the people. 6 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:19,280 Speaker 1: The people have had a belly full of it. I 7 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:20,239 Speaker 1: know you don't like hearing that. 8 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:21,919 Speaker 2: I know you've tried to do everything in the world 9 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:22,760 Speaker 2: to stop there, but you're. 10 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:24,599 Speaker 1: Not going to stop it. It's going to happen. And 11 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 1: where do people like that go to share the big line? 12 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 4: Mega media? 13 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,479 Speaker 5: I wish in my soul, I wish that any of 14 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 5: these people had a conscience. 15 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 1: Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? 16 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 2: If that answer is to save my country, this country. 17 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:47,919 Speaker 1: Will be saved. Worry use your host, Stephen k Man. 18 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 6: There are a lot of people experiencing legitimate pain and 19 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 6: sadness and fear right now. English writer Evelyn Wall once 20 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:08,320 Speaker 6: wrote about a blow expected repeated falling upon a bruise 21 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 6: with no smart or shock of surprise, only a dull 22 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,679 Speaker 6: and sickening pain and the doubt whether another like it 23 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 6: could be born. And after twenty sixteen and it's aftermath, 24 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,759 Speaker 6: that sentiment for maybe half of this country or more 25 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 6: feels about right. Here we go again. Donald Trump now 26 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 6: has a real shot at winning the popular vote. He 27 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 6: is currently leading by six million votes. Republicans are projected 28 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 6: to take control of the Senate, and they are the 29 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,639 Speaker 6: odds on favorite to take control of the House of Representatives. 30 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,960 Speaker 6: How did this happen? Well, as we try to begin 31 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 6: to answer that, one of the best assessments I have 32 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 6: read of the current political climate came from journalist James 33 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 6: Pogue in Vanity Fair. 34 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 4: Earlier last month. 35 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 6: Pogue wrote a profile about Steve Bannon and the movement 36 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 6: he and Trump have been built on the American right. 37 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 6: In the piece, Pogue identifies some of the central motivations 38 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 6: in the MAGA movement, motivations like a yearning for traditionalism. 39 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 6: If you follow this election closely, you know what I'm 40 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 6: talking about. You've seen the term trad tossed around to 41 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 6: describe a movement of conservatives who want to return to 42 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 6: what they consider traditional American values, one centered around a 43 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 6: very retrograde version of the American family. Will point margin 44 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,799 Speaker 6: they at the very least were not put off by 45 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,679 Speaker 6: this vision of America as a rigid and sometimes violent patriarchy. 46 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 6: They maybe even supported it. People like Steve Bannon and JD. 47 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 6: Vance and Tucker Carlson the people who have worked to 48 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 6: craft Trumpism into a coherent philosophy. They have sought to 49 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 6: associate the loss of this kind of so called traditionalism 50 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 6: with the loss that many working family feels and feel 51 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 6: in a globalizing economy. To them, the end of a 52 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 6: male dominated household and to get by financially will those 53 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 6: are natural partners. Even before the pandemic, American middle class 54 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 6: wages were stagnating, and the very real loss in purchasing 55 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 6: power caused by the pandemic gave the Bannons and the 56 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 6: Advances of the world something to point to as justification 57 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 6: for this belief. This is not to say that so 58 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 6: called economic anxiety can explain away our country's embrace of 59 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 6: racist and sexist demagoguery. In fact, it's quite the opposite. 60 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 6: Economic anxieties are a key part of an ideology that 61 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 6: bemoans the loss of white male power, even as macho 62 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 6: white dudes continue to dominate our politics. In exit polls, 63 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 6: white men without a college degree supported Donald Trump over 64 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 6: Kamala Harris by forty points. Voters, including men and women 65 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 6: who had served in the military, went for Trump. Over 66 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 6: harris By thirty one points to that end, Pogue identifies 67 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 6: another factor that I think motivates the MAC movement the 68 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 6: reassertion of a white male warrior class. As Pogue writes, 69 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 6: you'll often hear in conservative circles that America's warrior class, 70 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 6: which on the right is often believed to be from 71 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 6: ethnically Scotch Irish, disproportionately Southern families who treat military service 72 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 6: as family heritage, that they have been the ones who 73 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:24,280 Speaker 6: blend to build our empire and ended up with NAFTA, fentanyl, 74 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 6: and a coastal establishment that sees them and their values 75 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:31,919 Speaker 6: as backward and dangerous. That was a key part of 76 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 6: the message crafted by Trump accolades, a way to weave 77 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 6: together concerns about status laws and immigration and drug abuse 78 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 6: and American militarism into a eulogy for American toughness and 79 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 6: an attack on the so called ruling class that is 80 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 6: blamed for its demise. As Steve Bannon told James Pogue, 81 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 6: America isn't an idea. It is a country. 82 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 4: It is a. 83 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,559 Speaker 6: People with roots, spirit, destiny, and what you're talking about, 84 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 6: the liberal and the globalism, real American people are the 85 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 6: victims of that Now. Most voters were not listening to 86 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,600 Speaker 6: Steve Bannon's fevered ranting about liberalism and globalism, but they 87 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 6: heard one candidate talk about America as a virtuous experiment 88 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 6: in self governance, and they heard the other candidate call 89 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 6: America a garbage can, and a majority of them sided 90 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 6: with the guy calling this country a garbage can, which 91 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 6: brings me to the final element of this election that 92 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 6: is probably worth examining, the cultural realignment between the left 93 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 6: and the right over American institutions. Trump's just massively destructive 94 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 6: first four years in office forced the American left to 95 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 6: become defenders of institutionalism. Democrats had to speak up for 96 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 6: law and order, and for peace and stability and for democracy. 97 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 6: That was why people like Liz Cheney and her father, 98 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 6: Dick Cheney, among a handful of otherwise really quite conservative people, 99 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 6: It's how they became unlikely partners with Democrats in the 100 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 6: fight against Trump's dangerous vision for America and for the world. 101 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,280 Speaker 6: It was the right thing to do, but it had 102 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 6: a political cost. For most of my life, the American 103 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 6: left was the side channeling legitimate frustrations with American institutions. 104 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 6: Democrats were the ones who pointed out how innocent people 105 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,679 Speaker 6: could get caught up in America's criminal justice system. Liberals 106 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 6: and progressive were the ones who called out abuses by 107 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 6: the CIA and by America's military industrial complex. But the 108 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 6: realignment that happened under Donald Trump meant the Democrats had 109 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 6: to see much of that righteous outrage to Republicans who 110 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:41,480 Speaker 6: were trying to tear all of it down, and voters 111 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 6: who felt frustrated by those issues found their way into 112 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 6: Donald Trump's coalition. As former Obama foreign policy advisor Ben 113 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 6: Rhodes told James Pogue, I think the innovation of the 114 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 6: Ban and Advance project is that it's forced the left 115 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 6: to become defenders of the very institutions there's sposed to 116 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 6: be skeptical of, like the CIA, like the broader intelligence community, 117 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 6: like NATO, or, as Joe Rogan put it in his 118 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 6: interview with Trump, that is how Republicans became punk rock. 119 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 1: The rebels are Republicans now. 120 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 2: So like you want to be a rebel, want to 121 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 2: punk rock, you want to buck the system, you're conservative 122 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 2: now again. 123 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 6: I don't see any of this to endorse these ideas 124 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 6: or to chastise anyone, least of all Kamala Harris and 125 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 6: Joe Biden who displayed remarkable and responsible leadership of this 126 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 6: country during just enormously troubling times. A lot of you 127 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 6: listening to this program, including me, would like to not 128 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 6: have to think about anything Donald Trump or Steve Bannon 129 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 6: or jd Vance or Joe Rogan have to say about 130 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 6: our country, or its people or its place in this world. 131 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 6: But in order to do that, in order to reach 132 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 6: a point where these people are once again far away 133 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 6: from the levers of power in this country, we have 134 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 6: to begin by understanding how they got there in the 135 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 6: first place. 136 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 2: Okay, Thursday, seven November, year of Overlaerd twenty twenty four. 137 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 1: So the post game analysis. 138 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 2: Is now going through, and I think they realize the 139 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 2: scale of what this audience has brought about the victory, 140 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 2: and we have. 141 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: To and we're going to do. 142 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 2: Over the next couple of days some to make sure 143 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 2: that we show you the analytics to show you the 144 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 2: scale of this. 145 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 1: But right there, that's Alex Wagner. 146 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 2: Alex Wagner was in Obama's White House and she's one 147 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 2: of the I would say, the Rachel Matt She's like 148 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 2: Chris Hayes in a little bit of joy Anne reid Well, 149 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 2: I guess Chris Hayes and Jorian Reader Moore acolytes of 150 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 2: Mattow who runs the deal. But right there she's taken pogues. 151 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:06,199 Speaker 2: And that's the Vanity Fair story, which I recommend everybody reads. 152 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 2: And I know that a lot of folks in this 153 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,559 Speaker 2: audience don't does do not subscribe to Vanity Fair. But 154 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 2: if you go, get the addition of it's the November edition. 155 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 2: But I think it's on newsstands now. It has a 156 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,199 Speaker 2: cover story about this by this guy, James Poge. He does, 157 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 2: I think, a really fantastic job of talking about the 158 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,719 Speaker 2: war room and talking about what we have discussed and 159 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 2: the information we put forward to you this audience, and 160 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 2: actually who this audience is, and how it's made itself 161 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 2: into an army. It's kind of the army that's on 162 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 2: Trump's right flank. Remember, in every every war, every battle, 163 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 2: you have different ways that you align your forces, and 164 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 2: we're quite proud to be on the to the in 165 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,199 Speaker 2: the Maga movement, to the to the to the right, 166 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 2: on the recover the right, on the Maga movement. And 167 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,839 Speaker 2: right there they do. She does a brilliant job even 168 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 2: more so in her staff of taking Poe's article which 169 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 2: talks about traditionalism. It talks about what we've talked about 170 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 2: the economics of the working class in the middle class, 171 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 2: that you've heard over and over again. 172 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: But then she takes the flip. 173 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 2: And this is the important part of that, the most 174 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 2: important part. The progressive left became the defenders of the indefensible. 175 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 2: They became the defenders of the institutional rot. The problem 176 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 2: with our system, the problem we have is not just individuals. 177 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 2: It's just not that Komy is a bad guy. It 178 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 2: is not simply that Mary Garland is a bad guy. 179 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 2: It's not simply that you have bad people in these 180 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 2: positions of power. We have a structural problem. We have 181 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 2: a problem with kind of architecture and engineering. We have 182 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 2: a systems problem. Reason that that the lived experience of 183 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 2: the American citizen is not the best, and that the 184 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 2: lived experience of the American, of the American citizen is 185 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 2: that because of globalization and everything has happened in these 186 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 2: foreign wars and the building of the American Empire, is 187 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 2: that the oligarchs that control the American Empire controled the 188 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 2: institutions of the American Empire, which was. 189 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: Which were totally. 190 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:36,320 Speaker 2: Complete opposite of what the Revolutionary generation fought for, the 191 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 2: exact opposite of what the Framers fought for. Hamilton may 192 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 2: be a slight exception to that, and I will go 193 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 2: through that in the next couple of days. But the 194 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 2: greatest generation, the ones that went to the battlefields, because 195 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,200 Speaker 2: remember they weren't the decision makers. They were they were 196 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 2: the uh they were the cannon fodder, but fought so 197 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,439 Speaker 2: valiantly and so bravely. 198 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: And uh and. 199 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 2: And and you know, we're a leading part of and 200 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 2: participant in the destruction of the Nazis and fascism and 201 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 2: imperial Japan imperialism they didn't support. This is all a 202 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 2: post World War two construct. Now, we had Tucker on 203 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 2: here the other day, and Tucker's going through some spiritual wakening. 204 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,559 Speaker 2: He's talking about demonic force, he's talking about the darker 205 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 2: forces in the world. He goes back to the Trinity 206 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 2: Project and he even takes it back for that that 207 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 2: the the the bringing of nuclear weapons and what nuclear 208 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 2: weapons meant and how that tied into the American Empire. 209 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 2: But the American Empire was also not just military. It 210 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 2: was it was a economic what is called neoliberal the 211 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 2: neoliberal neocons, and what that is is that the the 212 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 2: FDR's administration understood that unfettered, unfettered libertarian capitalism, it's just not. 213 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 1: Work that you need. 214 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 2: You need structures around capitalism, and that's what you know, 215 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 2: market reforms. 216 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: That's what became the kind of the neoliberal part. 217 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 2: The neocon part was the building of the military aspects 218 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 2: and the intelligence aspects and then the law enforcement aspects 219 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 2: of the empire, exactly what the Framers didn't want us 220 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 2: to do. And as this spread globally, what the leaders 221 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,679 Speaker 2: of that, many of whom came from working class in 222 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 2: the middle class. I went to Harvard, one of the 223 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 2: factories where they take working class kids in middle classes 224 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 2: at least some percentage, and they stamp you boom, you 225 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 2: get your union card and you go in and become 226 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 2: a foot soldier in the globalization army. And that built 227 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 2: up an empire that not just our framers in our 228 00:13:49,840 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 2: very original DNA of this country, of this country. It 229 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 2: it then worked for the oligarchs, it worked for these institutions. 230 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 2: The left has become the defenders of these institutions that 231 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 2: are clearly corrupt and need to both have purges and 232 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 2: also need to be reconstructed. The intelligence community, the Department 233 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 2: of Defense, the military, the DOJ, the FBI, the whole 234 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 2: law enforcement, the courts. These judges are out of control. 235 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 2: A lot of these judges are of control. You can 236 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 2: see this on the attacks of Trump in the Mega movement. 237 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 2: And President Trump is back like an avenging angel. 238 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: And this is the. 239 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 2: Long We have a long and difficult struggle ahead of us. 240 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 2: As I've been saying, Tuesday is so important. It's just 241 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 2: another marker on the road of this journey. 242 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 1: Short break. 243 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 2: I return in a minute or two and we'll continue 244 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 2: this discussion. 245 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 4: He is an aspiring authoritarian. 246 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 5: I mean, the guy does not have a democratic bone 247 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 5: in his body. He tried to overthrow the constitutional. 248 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: Order of violence. 249 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 5: We all saw it happen on that natural television he celebrated, 250 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 5: talked about using political. 251 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 4: Violence repeatedly in his campaigns. 252 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 5: And because of all that, we know they're going to 253 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 5: try to do things to subvert and alter the constitutional order. 254 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 5: But the most important thing to those of us who 255 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 5: are committed to stopping them is to remember their success 256 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 5: is not fore ordained in any way. They're going to 257 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 5: try and they're going to be a lot of people 258 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 5: try to stop them, and the outcome of that is 259 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 5: as yet undetermined. And I'm not saying this from some 260 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 5: place of very hope. We've been covering Trump since twenty fifteen. 261 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 5: We covered his first term. He tried to do lots 262 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 5: of bad things and failed to do them because he 263 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 5: is completely distractable and inconstant, because he's a vortex of chaos, 264 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 5: because he cannot be stopped from doing stupid, self destructive 265 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 5: things all the time. None of that changed because he 266 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 5: won an election. Are all the same people, He's the 267 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 5: same guy. Are Republicans better prepaired this time? 268 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 4: Are they more loyal? Is are you just sharing more 269 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 4: in their favor? 270 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 7: Yes, yes, yes, with much of what you all have said. 271 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 7: The only piece that I think is missing is what 272 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 7: I think is essential for us to figure out how 273 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 7: to manage this period, which is we have to engage 274 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 7: in a forensic examination of how we got here, and 275 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 7: that forensic examination compels us to confront issues that we 276 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 7: progressive people and also just people who support democracy, have 277 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 7: not sufficiently. 278 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 1: Dealt with and confronted. 279 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 7: Obviously, you know, for me, one of them is ongoing 280 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 7: racism and white supremacy, which is such a part of 281 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 7: this country, and it has been kind of the gateway drug. 282 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 7: Trump couldn't have come to power without it, without making 283 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 7: appeals to our ongoing flirtation encounter embrace of racism and 284 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 7: white supremacy ideology. And every time he wasn't stopped. Every 285 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,159 Speaker 7: time we treat this as though it is not a 286 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,719 Speaker 7: deal breaker for leadership in this country, we open up 287 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 7: the door to the danger that Trump has represented. 288 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 1: Okay, this is going to continue. I want to go back. 289 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 2: There are a couple of moving pieces here, and I 290 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 2: need this audience to begin to understand that the framing 291 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,639 Speaker 2: of this and the architectonics of how we do this, 292 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 2: because we're going into the next phase. I told you 293 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 2: that if you did your job, and what you did 294 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:42,359 Speaker 2: was an incredible unique in American history. And you see this. 295 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,959 Speaker 2: It's not me saying that. It's the Financial Times of London. 296 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,399 Speaker 1: Look at that. Look at this cover story. 297 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:55,159 Speaker 2: Trump is back, resounding triumph, seals improbable comeback. What was 298 00:17:55,160 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 2: it improbable? They're still going to It's not improbable. Suck 299 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:05,359 Speaker 2: on that Financial Times not improbable. It's completely logical, and 300 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 2: it's the one that has it had to happen. 301 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 1: The New York Times. 302 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,159 Speaker 2: This went, Oh, I love this. We're gonna frame this. 303 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:16,159 Speaker 2: Trump storms back. Look at that Trump Storm's back, New 304 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 2: York Times. You think the Salzburger. You think the Salzburger family, 305 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 2: and you think Maggie Haberman. Think Maggie Haberman. 306 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 1: Like doing that Rupert Murdock, Wall Street Journal. 307 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:32,199 Speaker 2: Trump triumphs again Republican for us first in more than 308 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 2: a century to reclaim the White House after losing it. 309 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 1: He didn't lose that Wallstreet Journal. 310 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 2: They stole it from him and the Math, And I'm 311 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,120 Speaker 2: getting a lot of blowback from my staff at the Math. 312 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,880 Speaker 2: They're twelve million votes short. Where are they? They stole 313 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 2: it in twenty twenty. We have to have an investigation 314 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 2: of that. So Number one is for you to fully 315 00:18:56,280 --> 00:19:00,479 Speaker 2: understand what you have delivered here as the vanguard of 316 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 2: this movement and to fully appreciate, I think, what you 317 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 2: have accomplished through your efforts and through your work from 318 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 2: the agony and uncertainty of posts three November of twenty twenty, 319 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 2: when many of you had first started listening to the 320 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 2: show and started coming to the show because there was 321 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 2: a ray of hope to everything happened on January sixth, 322 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 2: and then everything happened on the twenty to January twenty 323 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 2: twenty one, when Boris was on the tarmac and called 324 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 2: into the show as we ended the show and then 325 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 2: shifted to coverage of Real America's voice coverage of Biden's Inargo. 326 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 2: Remember with like ten people out there in the grass 327 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 2: and at Andrew's Air Force Base. They played the Frank 328 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 2: Sinatra song and there were very few people out there 329 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 2: and no power players, very few power players. People, just 330 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:03,159 Speaker 2: people abandoned him, and the abandonment got worse in mar 331 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 2: Lago afterwards. The people that go down like McCarthy and 332 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 2: these people would be there to make sure he wasn't 333 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,199 Speaker 2: coming back, to try to modify him, to try to 334 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 2: keep him a lion in winter. 335 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:22,880 Speaker 1: But this audience let him know that if you have the. 336 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 2: Courage to do this, if you will do this, if 337 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 2: you will return from mar Lago to write this grievous wrong, 338 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 2: if you will return and show the world the warrior 339 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 2: courage that you have, we will have your back every 340 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 2: step of the way.

But that awakening has brought this victory. 379 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 2: And now we will go through the scale of it, 380 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,639 Speaker 2: the scale of it.

I completely disagree with that, and I 497 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 9: think that interest rates are going to go up for 498 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 9: the right reason, because growth is very high, and then 499 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 9: I think that everyone will discover that President trump policies 500 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 9: of the energy dominance deregulation. 501 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,240 Speaker 3: Will be disinflationary. 502 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 9: So I went on yesterday to try to calm the 503 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 9: markets and get the real talking points across instead of 504 00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 9: this hysteria that's been going on. 505 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 1: Ok On, Scott, hang on for one second. 506 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:03,960 Speaker 2: Let me play the CNBC clip which I have, Thank 507 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 2: you Denver palm Beach and my correct production team. 508 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 1: Let's play.

Bention. 511 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:26,720 Speaker 2: Here's the thing that Scott, I want to make sure 512 00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 2: we we set this in perspective because we still don't 513 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 2: technically have it. The what they're trying to make an argument, 514 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:38,440 Speaker 2: either bond vigilantes or whatever is that Trump's when you 515 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 2: look at Trump's. 516 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 1: Let me step back for a second for the audience. 517 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 2: What Scott Besson has come on this show and said 518 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 2: for the last couple of years is the following that 519 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:54,440 Speaker 2: we have given what the established order on Wall Street 520 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 2: in the local class, with this thing of called modern 521 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 2: monetary theory, we just have these massive deficits and keep 522 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 2: printing money forever, but eventually, you know, deficits. 523 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 1: Who has never had a big political. 524 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,600 Speaker 2: Traction gets into this, gets into the deficits, get to 525 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 2: debt and the way you finance it, particularly a short 526 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,480 Speaker 2: term that's where this inflation gets embedded. And that's where 527 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 2: the American people get crushed and never turn around. And 528 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 2: what Scott Besson has been warning Scott Bestman saying, hey, 529 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 2: if Trump does not get back in, this is your 530 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 2: last chance to actually have a supply side or a 531 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 2: Reagan type or you know, a growth policy that we 532 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 2: can grow our way out of here eventually, okay, And 533 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 2: that's based upon it is based upon energy, you know 534 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 2: of full spectrum energy dominance, the Trump theory. It's based 535 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 2: upon you know, decreasing the spending with Elon Musk, but 536 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,160 Speaker 2: get to like three percent of the deficit, not seven. 537 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:50,600 Speaker 1: Or eight percent. 538 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 2: But it's all these things, these and these are going 539 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:57,280 Speaker 2: to be and hang and deregulation, as the deconstruction ministry state. 540 00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 2: The deregulation part of it to unlock the animal spirits 541 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,640 Speaker 2: in the entrepreneurial spirits because remember the mag of movement. 542 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 2: We're both populous nationalists. But it's the where the entrepreneurs. Also, 543 00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:14,640 Speaker 2: it's entrepreneurial populism. Now against that, you have this narrative 544 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 2: from Wall Street in the central banks. Every says no, no, no, no, no, no, 545 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 2: no Trump. But Trump's saying what he's got this theory 546 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 2: is actually more inflationary. 547 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:23,120 Speaker 1: And so pick it up. 548 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,480 Speaker 2: That's what happened yesterday, That's what was in the bond 549 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 2: market yesterday. And tell them about what you said on 550 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 2: CNBC that quite frankly stopped this. 551 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 3: Sir, Well, look, I just gave the facts. 552 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 9: And the facts are easy because, to use a favorite 553 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,800 Speaker 9: term of the progressive left, we have a lived experience. 554 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:46,160 Speaker 9: We have the lived experience of Donald Trump one point 555 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:50,719 Speaker 9: zero from twenty sixteen to twenty twenty. And you know what, 556 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 9: to be fair, I'll take out the COVID years, because 557 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 9: they take it on the deficits. I'll take it out 558 00:32:55,480 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 9: on the inflation side, that the growth was high and 559 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:06,760 Speaker 9: inflation was low and everybody won. And you just it's 560 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:11,800 Speaker 9: absurd that they are concocting this boogeyman that what didn't 561 00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:15,280 Speaker 9: happen before is somehow going to happen now. 562 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 3: And you know, I am worried Steve, that. 563 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 9: The the elites the other side. 564 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 3: They tried lawfare that didn't work. They tried impeachment that 565 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,520 Speaker 3: didn't work. And now I am worried that they have. 566 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 9: Taken the economy to such a bad place and getting 567 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 9: ready for the election, they may try to spike the 568 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,440 Speaker 9: cannon on the way out the door. Because one of 569 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:51,280 Speaker 9: the things that would surely the cripple or the cut 570 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 9: back the very ambitious programs that President Trump has for 571 00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,560 Speaker 9: the first one hundred days, for the first year, for 572 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 9: the four years, would be an economic problem. So I 573 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,960 Speaker 9: actually think that they are going to use the economy 574 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:11,360 Speaker 9: this time to slow down hang on the America. 575 00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:15,480 Speaker 2: First move Trump Trump is We're gonna get more into 576 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 2: the next place. Trump is stepping into a firestorm created 577 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:24,719 Speaker 2: by them. Remember, the theory of modern monetary theory is 578 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:28,040 Speaker 2: deficits don't matter, and hey, if they ever become a problem, 579 00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 2: we just raised taxes a couple of hundred percent and 580 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:30,960 Speaker 2: you paid. 581 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:32,840 Speaker 1: It's all nonsense, it's all fantasy. 582 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,880 Speaker 2: It was a dangerous, stupid theory that no, and we 583 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:40,400 Speaker 2: used America as the as the experiment, and now we're in. 584 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:44,880 Speaker 2: President Trump is walking into a situation, the ticking time 585 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 2: bomb on our national security is not Ukraine, and not 586 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,839 Speaker 2: the Middle East, and not even my beloved let's take 587 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:54,640 Speaker 2: them down Chinese Communist Party around Taiwan. The ticking time 588 00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,759 Speaker 2: bomb in the national security of the United States is debt. 589 00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,160 Speaker 2: That's adding a tree in dollars of debt every hundred days. 590 00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,319 Speaker 2: And now the interest rates are over, We're paying over 591 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,800 Speaker 2: a trillion dollars every year in interest. That's the ticking 592 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:08,200 Speaker 2: time bomb is ticking loud and fast. So everything bestn't 593 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:12,840 Speaker 2: and uh and in warsh and Larry Kudlow and everybody's 594 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 2: trying to work together in Navarre and the whole team 595 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,759 Speaker 2: with President Trump, a businessman and a financier, is to 596 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:20,840 Speaker 2: work in this. I know you get a bounce, but 597 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:24,759 Speaker 2: your your term spiked the cannon before they leave. 598 00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:28,239 Speaker 1: Be specific about that. 599 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,719 Speaker 2: What does god Bessett mean when you use that that quite. 600 00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:35,560 Speaker 1: Explosive phrase, sir. 601 00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:39,120 Speaker 9: Well, So Steve Jenny Yellen, who I think is going 602 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:42,160 Speaker 9: to go down as the worst Treasury secretary in modern history. 603 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:48,759 Speaker 9: The has run and emerging style, emerging market style election economy. 604 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:52,239 Speaker 9: So what what what has she done? She has the 605 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:57,719 Speaker 9: we run a seven percent budget deficit to GDP, the 606 00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,680 Speaker 9: largest deficit when there wasn't a re set and not 607 00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,759 Speaker 9: a war. We have never done that before, and it 608 00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:07,520 Speaker 9: is just pure spending. They tried to spend their way 609 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,480 Speaker 9: to a victory like they do in Argentina, like they 610 00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:16,840 Speaker 9: do in Turkey, and by creating they have inflated an 611 00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:23,120 Speaker 9: asset bubble in housing and in the stock market, but 612 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:27,160 Speaker 9: only the top twenty percent benefit from that. So you've 613 00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:31,440 Speaker 9: got an asset bubble and housing and stocks twenty percent, 614 00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,880 Speaker 9: a seven percent deficit to GDP. And then, just like 615 00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,920 Speaker 9: they do before an election in Turkey, she moved all 616 00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:41,799 Speaker 9: the borrowing to the front end of the curve to 617 00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:43,080 Speaker 9: keep interest rates down. 618 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:47,600 Speaker 3: And now that debt's going to have to be turned out, 619 00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:51,080 Speaker 3: and that I. 620 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,000 Speaker 2: Full stop, full stop, full stop, full stop, full stop, 621 00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:54,480 Speaker 2: full stop. 622 00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:56,040 Speaker 1: I need to hit I know you got to go 623 00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:56,680 Speaker 1: and need a mine on this. 624 00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 2: It's like paying a mortgage on a credit card. Bessing 625 00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,440 Speaker 2: came of that phrase about six months ago. It's like 626 00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:04,479 Speaker 2: you're paying your mortgage on your credit card at twenty 627 00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:08,920 Speaker 2: five percent APR. Okay, they were just like, we're no 628 00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:13,120 Speaker 2: different than Argentina. One third of the debt, one third 629 00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:14,839 Speaker 2: of the debt's got to be refinanced every year. They're 630 00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:18,239 Speaker 2: just doing a short term and bills and notes and nineties, right, 631 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:20,920 Speaker 2: because they don't have the guts to actually go out 632 00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,480 Speaker 2: and determine out long term, which you should do as 633 00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:27,680 Speaker 2: like a major country, you know, the most powerful economy world, 634 00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,960 Speaker 2: the largest, most powerful nation in post industrial world. 635 00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:33,480 Speaker 1: Scott Bessant. She did the opposite. 636 00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:36,480 Speaker 2: And now Trump has got to come in and put 637 00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:38,960 Speaker 2: you know, he's supposed to be the sower of chaos. 638 00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:41,760 Speaker 1: He's supposed to be the sower of disorder. He's supposed 639 00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:42,759 Speaker 1: to be the disruptor. 640 00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:47,120 Speaker 2: No, the established order is chaos because they put more 641 00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,680 Speaker 2: money in their pocket and they keep more control and power. 642 00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:53,280 Speaker 1: That's what this has always been about. Scott Bessant. 643 00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,399 Speaker 9: Yeah, and that's why Tuesday night was a great night 644 00:37:56,600 --> 00:38:02,359 Speaker 9: because ordinary American people, the entrepreneurs and patriots pushed back 645 00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:06,399 Speaker 9: against it and said it's our country and we're going 646 00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,400 Speaker 9: to fix this. And I am confident the President Trump 647 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:11,799 Speaker 9: is going to have a great four years. He gave 648 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:17,319 Speaker 9: a wonderful acceptance speech.
