This is a monumental, colossal victory for 12 00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 3: the rule of law, for the Constitution, for our founding 13 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 3: generation John Adams who signed this law into effect in 14 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 3: seventeen ninety eight, and for President Trump and fulfilling as. 15 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 4: We take the long way, take the long way. 16 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 5: You never see what you want to see. 17 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: Paying to the gallery. 18 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 5: You take the long way home, take the long lane. 19 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 6: Well, look, I hear the president's plan on this in 20 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 6: the same plan you hand during the first administration. You 21 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 6: concentrate on the public safety threats and the national security 22 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 6: threats first. For THO are the worst to the worst, 23 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 6: So Trump be the worst. First that's how it has 24 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,320 Speaker 6: to be done. And we know a recog number picked 25 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 6: on the terrorist watchman's the process border. We know recon 26 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 6: number of terrorists have been released in this country. We've 27 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 6: already wrestled some planning attacks. So look, the President is 28 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 6: dead on when he says criminal threats, national security threats 29 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 6: are going to be prioritized, and that's whay its want 30 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 6: to be. 31 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: This is pretty remarkable. 32 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 7: The Trump administration has taken that controversial CBP one cell 33 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 7: phone app for migrants that the Biden administration was using 34 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 7: and they've repurposed it into a self deportation app. The 35 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 7: app is now called CBP Home. It allows illegal aliens 36 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 7: in the US to register to self deport They fill 37 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:14,079 Speaker 7: out biographical information including their countries of citizenship, which country 38 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,519 Speaker 7: they plan to return to, their alien registration numbers, their 39 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,519 Speaker 7: contact information, and it allows them to upload photos of 40 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 7: themselves to confirm their identity. All of it is then 41 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 7: submitted to CBP and they leave the country. So, in 42 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 7: a nutshell, vana Trump just took Biden's program which was 43 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 7: bringing migrants in and has now totally repurposed it to 44 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 7: get them out. 45 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 2: The media and our friends in the Democrat Party kept 46 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 2: saying we needed new legislation. We must have legislation to 47 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 2: secure the border. But it turned out that all we 48 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 2: really needed was a new president. 49 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: Contect the long lane protect Washington State man arrested kidnapped 50 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: his ex girlfriend's beloved pet chicken, Polly.

Quite a statement 94 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 1: from Senator Cornyn. 95 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 6: Corn N told Fox twenty six he won't be supporting 96 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 6: former President Trump and neither should other Republicans. 97 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 9: John Corny support jam the speed and says Texans should 98 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 9: just deal with millions of ilegal aliens. 99 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 6: The American people are a compassionate people that I think 100 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,039 Speaker 6: Favord find lays to deal with the twelve million people. 101 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 1: He even fought to stop President Trump's border wall. 102 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 3: Giant wall from sea to Shining Sea makes no sense whatsoever. 103 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 3: The idea of the wall is somewhat off putting to 104 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 3: a lot of people. 105 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 10: And when John Cornan joined Joe Biden to take away 106 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 10: our gun rights, President Trump sounded the alum, Yeah, there. 107 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: Are some Republicans, including former President trum who are ripping 108 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: this and ripping you as well. 109 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 5: John corn has decided to take guns from lawful gun owners. 110 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 4: And if there's one reason you vote Republican, it's prevent that. 111 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 9: John Cornyn doesn't share our values. It's time for a change. 112 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 9: Ken Paxton is the conservative fighter they couldn't cancel. 113 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 2: An attorney general who has really led the way, somebody 114 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 2: who has been brave and strong. 115 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 5: Ken Paxon. 116 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,119 Speaker 9: Ken Paxton is America's most conservative attorney general. 117 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: He sued Joe. 118 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 11: Biden over one hundred times to stop his lawless agenda. 119 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 11: His attorney general, Ken Paxton protected our gun rights, defended 120 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 11: the right to life, and took on the radical transgender 121 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 11: movement to keep men out of women's sports, locker rooms 122 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 11: and backwards. A fearless conservative has taken on the establishment 123 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 11: and held big techt and big pharma accountant. Now, Ken 124 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 11: Paxton is running for Senate to stand with President Trump 125 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:01,679 Speaker 11: and help. 126 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: Him make America great again. 127 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 10: As our next Senator, Ken Paxton will cut our taxes, 128 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 10: defend our borders, and eliminate old WOLPE programs. John corn 129 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 10: It's funding, stand up for Texas to fight for our future. 130 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 10: Join the Ken Paxton for Senate team today. 131 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: The timing on this gets really interesting and could be 132 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: potentially a bit of a thorn because Cornyan is going 133 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: to be the Senator from now until January of twenty seven. 134 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: So for the next year, let's see what we've got. 135 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: A year that this thing's going to be battled out. 136 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: And Cornyan is a key vote in the Senate who 137 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 1: Trump meets but I think where to clear, Trump would 138 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: rather have Taxton. So this gets really interesting. 139 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 5: Michael Chocolate Freak, I would. 140 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: Paston announce so early in the race to unseat John Cornyn, 141 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: and the answer is to stave off of their challengers. 142 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 1: So Cornyn has the establishment support, and as the sitting 143 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,959 Speaker 1: senator who's been there for a long time, he's got 144 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 1: a lot of corporate support, a lot of CEO types 145 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: inside money and the lobbyists. So he will start the 146 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 1: race with a huge bank balance and all of the 147 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: federal lobbyists will come to his aid, and they will 148 00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 1: do so at the direction of the Mitch McConnell coalition, 149 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 1: and that will be the National Association of this and 150 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: the National Association of that, and the US Chamber of 151 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: Commerce and all the folks that basically buy our government. 152 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: And that is usually enough to keep an incumbent in 153 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: power because a challenger can't mount a campaign that can't 154 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: raise any money. This is a rather unique situation where 155 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: Cornyan is going to be challenged in a primary by 156 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: a candidate who will raise money and more importantly, has 157 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: the base. It's hard to mobilize the base, but Paxton 158 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: is very popular with the base. That's how he was 159 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 1: able to defeat the Bush machine in George P. Bush. 160 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:56,439 Speaker 1: And this guy's a fighter. He has mobilized the base 161 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:03,440 Speaker 1: better than anyone I've seen. Let me think about this 162 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: for a State of Texas candidate. Because Trump came from outside, 163 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 1: it a little more complicated. What Cruse did in twelve 164 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 1: was pretty shocking, especially because Dewhurst had all the money 165 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 1: and was spending all the money had statewide name Id 166 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: had never lost an election. He'd been spending money on 167 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:29,599 Speaker 1: local Republican parties across the country. Dewhurst had done everything. 168 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 1: Dewhurst was unbeatable. That that was the conventional wisdom, and 169 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: Cruise managed to pull that off. That was Dohurst doesn't 170 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,079 Speaker 1: look as strong today, so people don't understand, but I 171 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 1: can tell you in twenty twelve, Dewhurst had everything going 172 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 1: for him. Defeating Dewhurst putting him into the runoff, which 173 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 1: was when that's when you knew that Chris was going 174 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: to win, was a big, big deal. Paxton has a 175 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: level of support because of the battles he has fought. 176 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,679 Speaker 1: He also has some incredibly powerful people in this state 177 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 1: who are gonna be trying to take his head off. 178 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: They do not want him as a US Senator. It's 179 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 1: also going to create a very interesting twenty twenty six. 180 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,839 Speaker 1: We're going to see in twenty twenty six the likes 181 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 1: of which we haven't seen in over ten years, which 182 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 1: is a reshuffling of the deck because with Paxton seeking 183 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:29,439 Speaker 1: the US Senate seat, that pops open the attorney general seat. 184 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: You know, Glenn Hager moved from comptroller to president of 185 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: Texas A and M or chancellor I Guess of Texas 186 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: A and M University, So that means the comptroller's position 187 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 1: pops open. So you're gonna have the comptrollers position open. 188 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: You're gonna have the Attorney general's position open. And open 189 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 1: is important because as opposed to an incumbent running for 190 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 1: office who might have a challenger, when you have a 191 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 1: seat that pops open, you have people who will make 192 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: a move who might not have made a move because 193 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: these seats don't come open like that very often. So 194 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: now you've got a year where You're going to have 195 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:14,840 Speaker 1: a lot of people positioning for these seats who might 196 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: not have done it, but they know if I'm ever 197 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 1: going to make a move, this is going to be 198 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: that move. So you're going to have state reps and 199 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 1: maybe some state senators who are going to start looking 200 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: at these seats that will open, and then the seats 201 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: that they open to run for them will now be 202 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: open for someone else to So you see this, you 203 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 1: know the game of what's the game where they play 204 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: the music musical chairs, Because again this is a very 205 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,719 Speaker 1: important point that when a position is open because it's 206 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 1: being vacated due to death or the person leaving, that 207 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 1: creates an opportunity for people that will make a move 208 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 1: that otherwise would not have or were planning to wait. 209 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 1: So you'll have some first time state reps, for instance, 210 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 1: who will run for I wouldn't be surprised to see 211 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: Mitch Little run for attorney general, for instance. That's one 212 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: of the things that somebody mentioned to me. I don't 213 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: know if that person wanted him to run or had 214 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 1: had a conversation with him. Both of those are possible, 215 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 1: but that would be one of those things. And then 216 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 1: that would of course mean that his state rep seat 217 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: would be open. It'll also mean that you're going to 218 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 1: have some transition into coalitions in the House and in 219 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: the Senate, because now everything starts moving toward the primary, 220 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,079 Speaker 1: the Republican primary, which is going to become very important 221 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six. You will not have Donald Trump 222 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: in that election, so you're going to have a reduced 223 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: turnout and you'll have a reduced MAGA turnout typically as 224 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 1: a result, because you won't have Trump at the top 225 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: of the ticket, you'll have a who shows up becomes 226 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: as important and as how they vote, and people vote 227 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 1: differently in presidential years every quadrinial then they do off years. 228 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 1: This is the reason that school districts hold their bond 229 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: elections and their school board elections. They don't hold them 230 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: at a time when people are already showing up to 231 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: vote because they wouldn't win. And I think Katie asd, 232 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: I think our buddy Victor made a mistake out there 233 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: by not doing what some other school districts did, and 234 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 1: that is moving the election calendar to the time when 235 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 1: we're already all showing up to vote in November. For 236 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: statewide seats, these school districts don't the teachers' unions and 237 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 1: the teacher groups, the education lobby. They don't want these 238 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 1: elections to be held in November when we're already showing 239 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 1: up to vote for Trump, because if we're showing up 240 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 1: to vote for Trump, we're going to vote them out. 241 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 1: But if they have an election that is just their 242 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 1: school board, they use the school and the teachers and 243 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 1: the people who submit bids for the buildings, and the 244 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 1: people who get contracts, and the people who and the 245 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 1: families of the teachers. And that's how they pass these 246 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: big bonds, and that's how they get all this money, 247 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 1: and that's how they're their budget grows because they have 248 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 1: an election when nobody is voting on anything else, So 249 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 1: the only people voting are them, because they're voting for 250 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 1: a pay raise for themselves. It's hard to get people 251 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 1: to show up to vote against all that. 252 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 10: Friend Welcome in the gate is open wide. 253 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: The Michael Berry Show long to be a fight and 254 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: Breathe Finanza. Since seven one, three, nine, nine, one thousand ninety, 255 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 1: you either know or you don't what happened with stock market, 256 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 1: and that tends to be related to how actively you 257 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 1: manage your portfolio. Most people do not follow the ups 258 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 1: and downs of the stock market, are the reasons for 259 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 1: the swings very closely, because they may have a four 260 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 1: oh one K or a basic plan and they're not 261 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 1: terribly interested in it. It's not really covered very broadly 262 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 1: considering the the the importance of it. It's not covered 263 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 1: the way whatever AOC says that day is or Jasmine Crockett. 264 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 1: But it has a great deal more to do with 265 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: your life than what Jasmine Crockett says. But you know 266 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: what Jasmine Crockett says is more. It is more water 267 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 1: cooler conversation. I suppose. Now there is CNBC, and there 268 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: are financial sites and those talking, but most people I 269 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 1: find are not very interested in it, don't talk much 270 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 1: about it until it becomes a news story in and 271 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: of itself, and then there will be this sweeping reference 272 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 1: to the stock market, and people will dutifully repeat it 273 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,880 Speaker 1: because I hear them do that, and that stock market's up, 274 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 1: stock markets stop, market's going to crash, stock market's going 275 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:13,120 Speaker 1: to a little more complicated than that. But let's operate 276 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:19,119 Speaker 1: from that promise for MoMA. So most of the stock market, 277 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 1: most of the stock market dip that we were seeing 278 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 1: was not based on fundamentals. Nobody had lost any money, yet, 279 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: nobody was even really sure how they were going to 280 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: lose money. It's not true that everyone's going to lose money. 281 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 1: It's not true that tariffs are going to harm everyone. 282 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:43,439 Speaker 1: There are a lot of people making important decisions on 283 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 1: the basis that tariffs are going to hurt people who 284 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 1: don't even really understand how that would happen or who 285 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 1: would be hurt. I've seen it. I've seen it at play. Nevertheless, 286 00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 1: those actions are real actions. And I have three show 287 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 1: sponsors who are sort of counterweights to the stock market 288 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,199 Speaker 1: because they are alternative places to put your money, and 289 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:14,879 Speaker 1: all three of them have seen a huge upswing during 290 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: this One of them is Kenny Duncan Jr. At us 291 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: Coins because people buy and sell gold, and he's probably 292 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 1: the biggest I'm sure he's the biggest in Houston, He's 293 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,639 Speaker 1: one of the biggest in the country. I speak for 294 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 1: him in Houston, but I also speak for him nationally 295 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,640 Speaker 1: on Premiere and we have listeners literally across the country 296 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 1: who are buying and selling gold through US Coins. You 297 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 1: wouldn't believe the volume that they do out of one 298 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:46,440 Speaker 1: building on iten just outside the loop. Wouldn't believe the 299 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:51,639 Speaker 1: volume of people and the volume. Gold hit thirty one 300 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 1: twenty five though that I don't know what it did 301 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:54,639 Speaker 1: after that, but I called him, I had him on 302 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 1: the evening show. For those of you who listened, I 303 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 1: had him on the evening show to talk about this. 304 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: This just bump in gold prices. So whether it's up 305 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: or down, there's a lot of action in gold and 306 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 1: precious metals, but particularly in gold right now. So that's 307 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,639 Speaker 1: one and that money is coming out of the stock market. 308 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 1: A lot of that money is money that was in 309 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,399 Speaker 1: the stock market that's being pulled or is on the 310 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: sideline and doesn't go in the stock market, think gets 311 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,440 Speaker 1: active overnight. So gold is one of them, and gold 312 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 1: is what you would most expect is kind of the 313 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:31,880 Speaker 1: alternative to equities to stocks. Then there is our Bitcoin 314 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 1: show sponsor, which is Archie Public, which is actually a 315 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 1: software platform to get you to bitcoin, which is mostly 316 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 1: the winkle of us twins or clearing those trades, so 317 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: you can think of them almost like an e trade 318 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 1: for bitcoin, so you're not buying your bitcoin from them 319 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 1: or selling you. They are easiest way I could explain 320 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 1: it is the stock market's only open a few hours 321 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,920 Speaker 1: a day. Bitcoin trades twenty four to seven. So if 322 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: you say I'm going to use round numbers, let's say, 323 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 1: and they're not accurate numbers, but let's say you want 324 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:14,879 Speaker 1: to sell bitcoin at eighty five thousand, and if it 325 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 1: gets to eighty five thousand, then sell's that's the point 326 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:18,640 Speaker 1: in which I think is the high, because you want 327 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 1: to buy the dip, and well, you know the job. 328 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 1: So let's say if it gets to eighty five, I 329 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,399 Speaker 1: wants you to sell, and if it drops to thirty 330 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,399 Speaker 1: one thousand, I want you to buy. And that's your strategy. 331 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: You're looking for those two numbers to either buy or sell. 332 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,119 Speaker 1: And the problem is, like the day to have a 333 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: buddy's a day trader, and he can't do anything when 334 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 1: the stock market is open because if he is exposed 335 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,640 Speaker 1: in a trade, he's got to be able to act 336 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 1: on that when it happens, because it might just be 337 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 1: a second. And now they're competing. This is what quantum 338 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,399 Speaker 1: was all about. They're competing over being able to trade 339 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 1: within a second or nan a second. Now they're putting 340 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: an these high powered lines between Chicago and New York 341 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 1: because you want to get your trade in before the 342 00:20:56,040 --> 00:21:01,680 Speaker 1: next guy. Well, this bitcoin arch public is you set 343 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 1: your numbers and your trade may execute at three fourteen 344 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,679 Speaker 1: am while you're asleep. But if you had to be 345 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 1: actively trading it, you'd have to be awake at three 346 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 1: fourteen to see that was happening, and there may have 347 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 1: been no real clue it was going to happen. So 348 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 1: that's what they do. Well, they're seeing a lot of 349 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: our listeners. We had a listener it's been seven hundred 350 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: thousand dollars with them the other day. Well, that money 351 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,879 Speaker 1: comes out of the market. It's a pretty big swing. 352 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: And so that's what they do. They're a platform for bitcoins. 353 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 1: So you've got gold is one the platform for bitcoin. 354 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 1: And the other one is a group called Hawthorne Capital, 355 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 1: which is a private equity group in downtown Houston. And 356 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: what they do is you put your money into their 357 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,400 Speaker 1: private equity fund and they see the writing on the wall. 358 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: They're buying land out in the country, rural land. They're 359 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: buying it subdividing. They get it all ready for people 360 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 1: to then go in. They're like a developer, if you will, 361 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 1: a rural land out in the country and they're offering 362 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: I don't make promises of returns. It's a principal thing 363 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 1: I've done because I'm not the one the return. But 364 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:08,959 Speaker 1: they're offering some pretty impressive returns, and so people are saying, Okay, 365 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 1: I don't know what will happen in the stock market, 366 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 1: but I think that rural land, the higher the crime 367 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,880 Speaker 1: rate goes in Houston, in the big cities, and all 368 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 1: the problems that happened and Lena had all go and Rodnielis, 369 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 1: I see the writing on the wall that people are 370 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 1: going out to place this light republic grand range. I 371 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,160 Speaker 1: see that people are going out to northwest, They're going 372 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,360 Speaker 1: out every different direction. And so this group does that 373 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:36,159 Speaker 1: and it becomes an investment vehicle as an alternative to 374 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 1: the stock market. So aggressive land, private equity, bitcoin, gold. 375 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,680 Speaker 1: You're seeing this money presumably being pulled out of the 376 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:49,159 Speaker 1: stock market. Well, a lot of people have been doing this. 377 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 1: That's why our show sponsors are getting all this action 378 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 1: because the media has been reporting, same media that wants 379 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: to bring Trump down. Stock Market's going to be down. 380 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: He's tanking the stock mark, he's tanking the American economy, 381 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 1: and idiot Dave Portlans is tanking the American economy. Well, 382 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 1: then he held off on the tariffs for ninety days and. 383 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:16,360 Speaker 3: Market Michael Berry fring bias. 384 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 1: Kelly Johnson. He was a Harris County Democrat judge speaking, 385 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: I said, here, Bob pick and she is as ghetto 386 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 1: awful as you can imagine, drunk, screaming at people, but 387 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 1: mostly just never comes to court. You know, the perfect ride, 388 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:48,440 Speaker 1: yellows judge. It's not like it's not like he has 389 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,200 Speaker 1: a first round draft pick as to who he's putting 390 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,399 Speaker 1: on these benches. I mean, I think he goes to 391 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 1: brunch at Turkey leg Hunt and just starts picking from 392 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 1: the crowd and him on the bench. In some of 393 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 1: these girls, I mean, they are a mess, just a mess. 394 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 1: So let's take the case of Judge Kelly Johnson. Back 395 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:21,439 Speaker 1: in July, she reportedly allegedly was rumored and reported to 396 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:29,639 Speaker 1: have trashed her courtroom during a mental health episode. Oh okay, Well, 397 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 1: as long as you're having a mental health episode, who 398 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:37,679 Speaker 1: am I to criticize the fact that a judge did that. 399 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:42,879 Speaker 1: You know, we have to be understanding that when people 400 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 1: in powerful positions do absolutely horrible things, it is not 401 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:52,960 Speaker 1: for us to criticize if in fact they are having 402 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,159 Speaker 1: a mental health episode. Do I have to remind you 403 00:24:56,280 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 1: people that Lena had Algo went missing for three months, 404 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 1: and when finally the question was asked, Hey, where's the 405 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: county judge, Rodney just real nonchalant, said, oh, she's in 406 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,719 Speaker 1: the nuthouse. She's been in a nuthouse for three months. 407 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:21,639 Speaker 1: It's very brave of her to go to the nuthouse 408 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 1: and get help for being nuts. Whereupon we find out 409 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:33,639 Speaker 1: I didn't know already she had had mental health episodes 410 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:38,199 Speaker 1: in the past, she had melt downs in college. She 411 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 1: knew she had melt downs in college because she was 412 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:45,879 Speaker 1: institutionalized then as well. So what on earth was she 413 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 1: doing running for office knowing that she's as crazy as 414 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:56,120 Speaker 1: a well, you know how that phrase goes. But she did, 415 00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: and now here we are back again the Merry deVie composition. Y'all, y'all, 416 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,640 Speaker 1: I's gonna have to understand sometimes I'm gonna be gone 417 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 1: for months at a time. Nuthouse taxpayers are gonna pay 418 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 1: for it. It's not your time in the nuthouse that scares me. 419 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 1: It's when you bring the nuthouse to the County courthouse 420 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:18,880 Speaker 1: and you start conducting nut activity from the bench. Yeah yeah, 421 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,400 Speaker 1: go back over there with one flow over the cuckoos 422 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 1: nest and let Nurse Ratchet deal with you. It's when 423 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 1: you do it behind the gabble of one of the 424 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 1: biggest counties in the country that I happen to live in, 425 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 1: that's when I have prob Okay, So we got Democrat 426 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 1: Judge Kelly Johnson trashed her courtroom.
