22
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 4: got busy here on Ringside Politics created a program that's

23
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 4: still rolland strong. It's called Project Keep the Republic. It

24
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 4: was inspired by the end of the Constitutional Convention when

25
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 4: Benjamin Franklin asked, what kind of government have you given us?

26
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 4: He replied, madam, a republic if you can keep it.

27
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 4: Notice he didn't say democracy. Now what does it take

28
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 4: it keep a republic? Real tangible action, adopting the warrior ethos,

29
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 4: placing the mission first and never accepting.

30
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 3: Defeat, and folks were never quitting.

31
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 4: We're organizing groups across the country based on the days

32
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,640

48
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,760

Speaker 4: pro Trump image to share with me, just email me

87
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 4: at Jeff at WGSO dot com. Hey, we also give

88
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 4: our kudos to the Ringside Politics Champion of the Week

89
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 4: this week. It's our good friends over at the Monumental

90
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 4: Task Committee. You can get more information at Monumental tasks

91
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 4: dot org. These are folks that are preserving history, working

92
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 4: to keep monuments up so that we don't forget our history.

93
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 4: The left wants to tear down monuments, wants to destroy history.

94
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 4: The left wants to revise history to make America seem

95
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 4: to be a horrible country. These folks are about preserving

96
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 4: our history so we can learn from it, and they

97
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 4: are out there throughout the Gulf South making sure that

98
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 4: these monuments stay looking good because the government certainly doesn't

99
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 4: pay for the restoration and upkeep of them. So check

100
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 4: out Monumental task dot org for more information. Hey, folks,

101
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 4: you know the economy the way it is now, we

102
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 4: certainly should be diversifying and also making sure that we

103
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 4: keep that strategy the same because you know, the president

104
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 4: could do what he can. We're still dependent on this

105
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 4: Federal Reserve chair who's still every now and then maybe

106
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 4: making some good comments like I did the other day,

107
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 4: but he can certainly send things into a tail spin.

108
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 4: So it's always good to have the same strategy. I

109
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 4: recommend Birch Gold. With all these things out of our

110
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 4: president's control and out of our control, we need a

111
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 4: safe haven. So can help you convert an IRA or

112
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 4: four to one k into an IRA in physical gold.

113
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 4: And the best news, folks, doesn't cost you a penny

114
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,000

120
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 4: some of these hot topics that we're following right here

121
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 4: on the program today. Big news on Friday, John Bolton's

122
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 4: home raided by the FBI. Now, this is a vicious

123
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 4: anti Trumper. This is a guy who served in the

124
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 4: Trump administration, horrible neocon, always a critical of the president.

125
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 3: Who knows what was in that house?

126
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 4: The reports are was more than just classified documents that

127
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 4: we're looking for. We'll see where it goes from here.

128
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 4: Obviously he didn't get the Roger Stone treatment, no scuba divers,

129
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 4: no hell copters, no.

130
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 3: Busting down the door.

131
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 4: He seemed to be treated a lot better than Roger Stone,

132
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 4: but the FBI still came a knocking. And we'll see

133
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 4: where this goes from here, and we'll see if also

134
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 4: there are going to be others in the anti Trump

135
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 4: universe of haters who will be visited by the FBI

136
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 4: in the near future. To partner Justice Number two guy

137
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 4: had to interviewed Gallaine Maxwell over two days in her

138
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 4: prison cell in Florida, where she's now been moved to

139
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 4: Texas in nice club fed gigs. She revealed a lot

140
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 4: in her testimony, and the full transcript and audio was released.

141
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 4: I think it's a good move as far as full

142
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 4: disclosure goes. Gallaine Maxwell pretty much claim you know nothing

143
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 4: to see here, saying she never saw anything that was illegal,

144
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 4: was very let's just say, supposedly unaware of illegal activities

145
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 4: going on.

146
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 3: You can believe that or not.

147
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 4: But hey, I give the Trump administration kudos for releasing

148
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 4: the information. That is what we have to do, Full disclosure,

149
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 4: all right. President Trump asked this week about the latest

150
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 4: with Ukraine and Russia. He says he's going to be

151
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 4: giving into about two weeks before he decides whether to

152
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 4: unleash very harsh sanctions on the Russians or get out

153
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 4: of this completely. He wants Zelenski and Putin to meet. Obviously,

154
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 4: since Cia Summit, the Russians have launched some pretty serious

155
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 4: attacks in Ukraine. I guess they're trying to gain as

156
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 4: much of an advantage as they can. We don't even

157
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 4: know if there's going to be a Trilodal summit or not,

158
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 4: or this is going to be coming to an end.

159
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 3: My view is this. I don't think it's our war.

160
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 4: I don't think it's the American interest to be funding

161
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 4: one side or another. But President Trump has authorized the

162
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 4: sale of a military equipment to Ukraine and we'll see

163
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 4: where it goes from here. He deserves credit for playing

164
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 4: the role of peacemaker for trying to bring this war

165
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 4: to an end. The last administration did zero. This administration,

166
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 4: under President Trump's leadership, has solved like seven wars. He

167
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 4: has been a dynamo for peace, and I just give

168
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 4: him credit for what he is doing.

169
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 3: This is not our war.

170
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 4: This is a war halfway around the world that he

171
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 4: is taking upon himself to try to solve because he

172
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 4: wants to end the killing. He's a humanitarian and the

173
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 4: peacemaker of the world and he deserves credit from everyone.

174
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:29,239
Speaker 4: Cambodian monks have nominated him to help for the Nobelb's Prize.

175
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 4: Cambodians were outside of the White House chanting we love

176
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 4: President Trump.

177
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,079
Speaker 3: That was one of the wars he solved.

178
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 4: Canada, our neighbor to the north, has decided not to

179
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 4: take on the US in a trade war, so they're

180
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 4: relaxing tariffs on a US goods. They have succumbed to

181
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 4: the pressure of the President Trump and the administration. More

182
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 4: Trump winning as far as our trade deals go. We're

183
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 4: no longer the patsy of the world, no longer the

184
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 4: doormat of the world. Heraffs are now bringing in massive

185
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 4: new money for the United States. It could very well

186
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 4: have a huge impact on our debt in the months

187
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 4: and years ahead. And again, it is not leading to

188
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 4: inflation like a lot of these economists that it would.

189
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 4: It is a winning strategy. What is certainly not winning

190
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 4: is what has been going on with the illegals in

191
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,439
Speaker 4: this country, allowing in so many illegals Here in the

192
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 4: great state of Louisiana. We had a horrible situation the

193
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 4: other night. A fifteen year old boy killed by a

194
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 4: thirty one year old illegal alien drunk driver. Now this

195
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:40,839
Speaker 4: is in Livingston Parish, right between New Orleans and Baton Rouge,

196
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 4: right outside of Baton Rouge. And our prayers to the

197
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:49,079
Speaker 4: family of this fifteen year old boy viciously killed by

198
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 4: a drunk driver who shouldn't have been here in our country.

199
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 4: Another example of the problems when you allow the world

200
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 4: in here. You have criminals, you have people that shouldn't

201
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 4: be driving trucks, like that truck driver the other day

202
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,439
Speaker 4: who took a U turn. Three people were killed. This

203
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 4: is all got to end. I give Marco Rubio credit.

204
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 4: He has halted now all work visas for immigrant truck drivers.

205
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 4: We're going to reevaluate this whole situation. We have got

206
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 4: truck drivers on the road that are not from this

207
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 4: country and do not know how to read English and

208
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 4: cannot understand road signs.

209
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 3: That is a danger to drivers. It's a danger in

210
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 3: our country.

211
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 5: Now.

212
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 4: One of these illegals that the Left has been championing

213
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 4: is a guy named Kilmar Abrego Garcia, and he's now

214
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 4: in the custody of his relatives. He has now been

215
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 4: released from prison, but we're hearing that he could be

216
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 4: deported to Uganda, So the Trump administration has that option.

217
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 3: We'll see if that occurs or not.

218
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 4: The Left has made this guy their poster child for

219
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 4: the roughness of the Trump administration. He is accused of

220
00:11:55,280 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 4: human trafficking, spousal abuse, gang member, all kinds of crimes

221
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,599
Speaker 4: he's associated with. Not exactly someone the party should be

222
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 4: affiliating with. No wonder the Democrats are losing registrations and

223
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 4: finally President Trump, big kudos to the crackdown on crime

224
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 4: in DC. It has been a major success. Crime is

225
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 4: way down, and I hope this is going to be

226
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 4: expanded to other cities around the nation. My own city

227
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 4: of New Orleans would be a good candidate, certainly Atlanta,

228
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 4: Saint Louis, Baltimore, New York. I think Chicago could be next.

229
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 4: All right, folks, a lot to get to as we

230
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 4: roll on a springsty politics right here in real America's voice.

231
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 3: To have career with you.

232
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 4: We'll be right back, you know, folks, it is essential

233
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 4: for Republicans to maintain control of Congress. We can't give

234
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 4: Congress to the radical Democrats. And there's a representative who

235
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 4: resigned Green so there's a special election in Tennessee and

236
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 4: one of the leading candidates in that race is joining

237
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 4: us now. He was ranked as the most conservative state

238
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 4: representative in Tennessee history. So he represents the great state

239
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 4: of Tennessee and the legislature. He's also a husband and

240
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 4: father and small business owner. Let's say hello to Jody Barrett,

241
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 4: who's with us here in the Ringside Politics program.

242
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 3: Hey, Jody, welcome, Hey, good afternoon.

243
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 6: Good to be with you.

244
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 4: So you've got a great background serving the legislature. Obviously,

245
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 4: I love the fact you've got a conservative record. We

246
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 4: certainly need that in Congress with all the rhinos we've

247
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 4: got up there. So how do you stand out? We

248
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 4: were just talking off the air. There's like a massive

249
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 4: field of candidates, eleven Republicans and all these others running.

250
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 4: So how do you stand out from these opponents?

251
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 3: Jdy Well, I've.

252
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 7: Been running hard on my record, you know, as one

253
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 7: of three state legislators that are in this race. With

254
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 7: eleven Republicans in the primary, it's hard to differentiate yourself.

255
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,719
Speaker 7: Boddy saying, they're pro Trump, they're they're conservative, and they're

256
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 7: going to do all these great things. And so what

257
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 7: I've just been telling the voters is you don't have

258
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 7: to guess what I'll do in DC. You can look

259
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 7: at my voting records. You can see these accolades I've

260
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 7: received as receiving perfect one voting records. You can see

261
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 7: the type of bills that I've run over the last

262
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 7: three years, and you can know exactly I'm going to

263
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 7: do the exact same thing in DC I've been doing

264
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 7: here in Tennessee.

265
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 4: Do you consider yourself someone that would be like in

266
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 4: the Freedom Caucus, someone that would caucus with the Conservatives

267
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 4: up there in DC?

268
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 7: Certainly I vote in a very similar fashion, and we

269
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 7: align in a lot of ways the same things that

270
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 7: the Freedom Caucus is worried about with regards to our

271
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 7: out of control spending, our deficit. Those are things that

272
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 7: are very important to me as well. So yeah, I

273
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 7: do believe if invited by the Freedom Caucus the join

274
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 7: that would be something that I would very, very seriously consider.

275
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 3: Right.

276
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 4: Do you have any role models up in Congress that

277
00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 4: you try to emulate if you're elected?

278
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 2: J Yeah.

279
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 7: If I could be half as funny as Tim Burchett,

280
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 7: that would be great.

281
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 3: He is a funny guy, isn't he.

282
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 4: Wow, He's a character but he's a hard one.

283
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 7: And loved by his people, you know, And that's the

284
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 7: thing that I think separates me from some of these

285
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 7: other folks. You know, We've got guys, we've got establishment guys,

286
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 7: We've got packed people that are backed by the big packs.

287
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 6: And I'm just one of these.

288
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 7: Little country dirt lawyers out here in the rural area

289
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 7: that is very.

290
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 6: Close to my people.

291
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 7: I communicate with them, I'm accessible to them, and I

292
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 7: stand with them on every vote. And that's a rare

293
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 7: thing when it comes to legislators.

294
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 4: Any differences between your, I guess platform and the platform

295
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 4: of the gentleman who is now leaving the seat, Mark Green,

296
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 4: Are you pretty much in line with him or there's

297
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 4: some differences there for the voters to them.

298
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think Mark tended to be, perhaps, you know,

299
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 7: with his military background, a little bit more prone to

300
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 7: support things like the money going over to Ukraine and

301
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 7: things like that. You know, the people that I represent

302
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 7: out here in the regular parts of Tennessee just don't

303
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 7: understand why we're sending billions of dollars overseas to Ukraine

304
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 7: for a war that doesn't appear to have any real

305
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 7: clear America first interests, and so you know that is

306
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 7: probably an area where Congressman Green and I might depart.

307
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 3: Well, I agree with you completely.

308
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 4: I mean I just said that in the opening, and

309
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 4: I'm still baffled as to you know, why we have

310
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 4: dumped all these hundreds of billions of dollars in that war.

311
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 4: How about President Trump? Are you pretty much in line

312
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 4: with his policies?

313
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 3: Jodie, Yeah.

314
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 7: So I've been running Trump administration bills or Trump agenda

315
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 7: bills for the last three years that I've been in

316
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 7: the legislature. You know, one of the big things that

317
00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 7: just recently President Trump put out was his EO on

318
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 7: election integrity, and that's something that I've been running bills

319
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 7: on that since I first got in here. I've run

320
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 7: the bills and passed things on humans smuggling, doing away

321
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 7: with the making it illegal and Tennessee for these protesters

322
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 7: to marching streets and lock up highways and bridges and

323
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 7: overpasses and things like that. So Trump's the law and

324
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 7: order guy, He's the anti immigration guy, He's the election

325
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 7: integrity guy. And I've been doing all of that at

326
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 7: the state level. And so I need to get up

327
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 7: there to DC to be able to help him out.

328
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 4: Let's talk about the number one issue in your district.

329
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 4: You know you've been going around talking to constituents, talking

330
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 4: to voters. What stands out to them is the most

331
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 4: important one?

332
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:43,400
Speaker 7: Jody, Well, I think everybody's talking about the economy. They're

333
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 7: all nervous about, you know, what's going to happen with

334
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 7: the tariffs, the impact on that, the debt and the

335
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,439
Speaker 7: spending that we have going on in DC. Everybody was

336
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 7: excited to see those get put in place and rooting

337
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 7: out some of this flawd and abuse that we've got.

338
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 7: Extending Trump tax cuts in the one big beautiful bill

339
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 7: was a huge thing. But when you boil it down,

340
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 7: it's the economy stupid, and everybody comes back to you know,

341
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 7: what's going on at the kitchen table and the price

342
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 7: of eggs and all of that. So it's still a

343
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 7: huge issue here in Middle Tennessee.

344
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 4: So how is the economy in your district? Is it

345
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 4: sort of a mixed bag? I mean, seems like we

346
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 4: have low inflation. We got to get these interest rates down, obviously,

347
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 4: I think that would really help.

348
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 3: So are people suffering there? Are doing pretty well?

349
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 7: Tennessee and this district in particular is very diverse. I

350
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 7: have the wealthiest county in the state, Williamson County. It's

351
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 7: the eleventh largest or eleventh wealthiest county in the country.

352
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 7: And I also have two or three of some of

353
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 7: the poorest counties in the state. In this district. You

354
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 7: also have Fort Campbell in Montgomery County near Clarksville. You

355
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,239
Speaker 7: have a university. So there's all sorts of varying and

356
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 7: competing interests. But out of fourteen counties in the day strict,

357
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 7: eleven of them are rural. So I have a lot

358
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 7: of agricultural and farmers that are very concerned about the

359
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 7: impact of what's going on in the economy on their

360
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,679
Speaker 7: business and their ability to make money and survive. So

361
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 7: it's all across the board. Some people are doing well

362
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 7: even in the agricultural community. Folks that are cattle farmers

363
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,719
Speaker 7: right now are doing really well. If you're a Roe cropper,

364
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 7: you're singing the blues and you know you're going to

365
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 7: lose money this.

366
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 4: Year, right well, listen, we thank you so much for

367
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 4: joining us. How can our viewers get more information about

368
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 4: your campaign?

369
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 3: Jedding sure.

370
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 7: The website is Jodybarrett dot com and I'm on all

371
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 7: the social media's Instagram, Facebook, and x.

372
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 6: Jody Barrett for Tennessee.

373
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 4: All right, good luck to you, sir, Thank you so

374
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 4: much for being with us. We're going to be following

375
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 4: it very very closely.

376
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 7: So.

377
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 4: One of the issues that Jody mentioned about elections was

378
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 4: something that President Trump talked.

379
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 3: About the other day. Let's check out clip number one.

380
00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 8: Mail and ballots are corrupt.

381
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 2: Mail in ballots.

382
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 8: You can never have a real democracy with mail in ballots,

383
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 8: and we as a Republican party, are going to do

384
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 8: everything possible that we get rid of mail in bealots.

385
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 8: We're going to start with an executive order that's being

386
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 8: written right now by the best lawyers in the country

387
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 8: to end mail in ballots because they're corrupt. And do

388
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 8: you know that we're the only country in the world

389
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 8: I believe I may be wrong, but just about the

390
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 8: only country of the world that uses them because of

391
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 8: what's happened, massive fraud all over the place. The other thing,

392
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 8: we want change of the machines. For all of the

393
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 8: money they spend, it's approximately ten times more expensive than

394
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 8: paper ballots, and paper ballots are very sophisticated with the

395
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 8: watermark paper and everything else. We would get secure elections.

396
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 8: We get much faster results. The machines. I mean, they

397
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 8: say we're going to have the results in two weeks

398
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 8: with paper ballots, you have the results that night.

399
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 4: So you heard what the man just said, and I

400
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 4: grew them percent. Yet here in Louisiana, we have a

401
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 4: Secretary of State that's moving forward with one hundred and

402
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:09,919
Speaker 4: fifty million dollars in new voting machines direct contrast to

403
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 4: what the President just outlined. So people in Louisiana need

404
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 4: to speak out to their Secretary of State, woman named

405
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 4: Nancy Landry, about what she's trying to do. President also

406
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 4: discussed crime in DC and the tremendous improvements, but also

407
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 4: the roadblocks that are still there. Let's check out clip

408
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 4: number two.

409
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 8: And I'm tired of listening to these people say how

410
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 8: safe it was before we got here. It was unsafe.

411
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:36,680
Speaker 6: It was horrible.

412
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 8: And Mayor Bouser better get her acts straight or she

413
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 8: won't be there very long because we'll take it over

414
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 8: with the federal government. Run it like it's supposed to

415
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 8: be run. The numbers were horrible. There was a crime

416
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 8: infested rat hole, and they do have a lot of

417
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 8: rats we're getting rid of them too, and we've made

418
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 8: a lot of progress. And it was extremely unsafe, and

419
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 8: that it's extremely safe. We had virtually no crime.

420
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,919
Speaker 6: The number was down eighty.

421
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 8: Seven percent, and I'm trying to figure out where was

422
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 8: the thirteen percent, because I don't think it existed. The

423
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 8: National Guard has been unbelievable and they're working with the

424
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 8: police and they have some very good people. And there

425
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 8: they have some people that shouldn't be police, actually, but

426
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 8: they have some great people there.

427
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 4: You know, we need to focus on the real criminals,

428
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 4: not the people that were just supporting President Trump. Like

429
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 4: Peter Navarro, he spoke out the other day about the

430
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 4: John Bolton raid. Let's check out what he had to say.

431
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 4: Let's go to clip number three.

432
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 9: Lettissia James is another one that bloms in jail.

433
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 5: Look, look.

434
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:47,640
Speaker 9: The Democrats. Look, they really overplayed their hand on this

435
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 9: because they thought they could take Donald Trump out. They didn't,

436
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:56,160
Speaker 9: and in the process, they totally destroyed American people's faith

437
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 9: in our justice department and they got him a lot

438
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 9: lot of that prisident Trump a lot of votes because

439
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 9: of that. I mean the book I wrote about that

440
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 9: I went to prison, So you won't have to the

441
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 9: whole theme of that thing is that I'm the wake

442
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 9: up call. If they can come for me, they can

443
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 9: come for you. So people need to understand that these

444
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 9: are bad people. Letitia James, the Fonnie Willis in Georgia,

445
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 9: Alvin Bragg in Manhattan. The question is how coordinated were they?

446
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 9: And that's a question that needs to be answered by

447
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 9: an investigation.

448
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 4: Peter, the answer to that is very coordinated. He mentioned

449
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 4: Latitia James, not a good week for her. Let's check

450
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,679
Speaker 4: out clip number four.

451
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 10: And I will come back before you seeing with a

452
00:23:46,359 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 10: check for two hundred and fifty dollars.

453
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 4: All right, we'll take a brief time out, take care

454
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,439
Speaker 4: of some business. More great guests coming your way next

455
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 4: right here on ringside on Real America's Voice.

456
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 3: We'll be right back. Welcome back.

457
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 4: And you know, one of the things we always love

458
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 4: to champion here in this program is going after a

459
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,880
Speaker 4: waste and inefficiency and fraud, trying to do something about

460
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 4: our thirty seven trillion dollar national dret try to find

461
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 4: savings where we can.

462
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:56,959
Speaker 7: Well.

463
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 4: The National Taxpayers Union and the National Taxpayers Foundation does

464
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,199
Speaker 4: a great job on these issues. We're pleased to have

465
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 4: with us. A vice president of research at Damian Brady,

466
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 4: who was with us, and Damian, welcome, how are you.

467
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 11: I'm doing well, Thank you for having me on. It's

468
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 11: a good discussion. It's we just had a action form

469
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,360
Speaker 11: and acted. We have a thirty seven trillion dollar debt.

470
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 11: It's only going to rise unless we do something, and

471
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 11: the quick redoing it, quick we do that, the better

472
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 11: offen future taxpayers will be right.

473
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:29,160
Speaker 3: Well, exactly right.

474
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 4: I mean, the debt is spiraling out of control here

475
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 4: thirty seven trillion, and it's just going up like crazy.

476
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,400
Speaker 4: Many people out there might be watching and saying, hey,

477
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,719
Speaker 4: what's a big deal thirty seven trillion dollars? It give

478
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 4: you another thirty seven trillion? How does that affect us?

479
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 4: Tell us, Damien.

480
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 11: Well, yeah, we built up this debt over decades and

481
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 11: decades of overspending going back really started around World War one,

482
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 11: World War two, the debt climbed a lot more, and

483
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 11: then with the growth of the welfare state over the

484
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 11: nineteen sixties, nineteen seventies, and then you know, ever since then,

485
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 11: we've had balanced budget I think two years over the

486
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 11: last couple of decades. So Congress just continually spends more

487
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 11: than the collects and revenue. So yeah, there's my little

488
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 11: things we can do along the way to reduce spending

489
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 11: is we have a new report out about some of

490
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 11: the perks that go to former presidents and these people

491
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 11: are very, very wealthy, and this is one way where

492
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,919
Speaker 11: we can save there's a little bit of money.

493
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 4: Well yeah, and that's what I wanted to talk to

494
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 4: you about also. But you know, as you look at

495
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 4: all this, it's such a massive undertaking, you know, Doze

496
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 4: when they came in highlighted some of this waste, fraud

497
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 4: and abuse.

498
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 3: I mean, look at.

499
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 4: The pushback they got, and I mean Elon Musk was targeted.

500
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 3: I mean he sort of ran him out.

501
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 4: I mean, they really threatened his businesses and the left

502
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 4: went crazy. So do you think we can continue? I mean,

503
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 4: do you do you like what doses? I mean, do

504
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 4: we need to continue down that road?

505
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 3: Damien?

506
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 11: Yeah, Doose has been doing a lot of great work

507
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 11: and it is continuing with a lot maybe less fairfair

508
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 11: than before now that Demascus is out of the picture,

509
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 11: but they're still working behind the scenes, going through agencies

510
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 11: and getting rid of useless contracts and subscriptions to various

511
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 11: things that were provided at taxpayers expense, a lot of

512
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 11: duplicate programs across the government, so I mean lots of

513
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 11: opportunities for them to continue working and highlight and eliminate

514
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 11: ways across federal bureaucracy.

515
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 4: All right, So the PC just did, and we recommend

516
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 4: people check out the website there at the National Taxpayers

517
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 4: Union Foundations. Right on the site concerns these former presidents

518
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,919
Speaker 4: and a lot of perks involved with them. Tell us

519
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:50,919
Speaker 4: about that, Damien.

520
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, So this all goes back to the late nineteen fifties.

521
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 11: Harry Truman had just left office, and there was a

522
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 11: widespread belief at the time that or he was down

523
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 11: on his luck, and so they wanted to protect the

524
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 11: dignity of the office. So they created they enacted the

525
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 11: Former President's Act, which provides funding for a pension and

526
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 11: funding for an office, funding for a staff, and the

527
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 11: idea being that some of the responsibilities of being president

528
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 11: linger on after you do leave.

529
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 2: The White House. So that was the justification for it.

530
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,640
Speaker 11: Then we since found out in more recent years, when

531
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 11: harre At Truman's widow's papers were double to the public,

532
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:31,239
Speaker 11: that this financial state was really much stronger than it

533
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 11: was believed at the time.

534
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 2: Especially now in the modern era, presidents.

535
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 11: Leave the House White House generally with a lot of wealth,

536
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 11: and they have significant opportunities to earn additional income through

537
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 11: book deals for their memoirs, production deals, and giving speeches.

538
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 11: These perks have become antiquated in the modern era, especially

539
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 11: given the massive deficit indent that we've talked about.

540
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 4: So, I mean, yeah, it's just one after another, right,

541
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 4: I mean, look at Joe Biden. I mean, he's going

542
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 4: to be getting massive pensions, right, I mean from from

543
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,719
Speaker 4: his I mean, guy was in the Senate for what

544
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 4: fifty years and he's getting uh, you know, he just

545
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 4: got signed a massive book deal, and guy's getting fabulously wealthy,

546
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 4: right on the taxpayer's time.

547
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 11: Yeah, So, I mean a pension is fair you served

548
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 11: in office. So but they also get, as I mentioned,

549
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 11: all this money for office spending and staff.

550
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 8: You know.

551
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 11: And one interesting thing here is that the presidents tend

552
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 11: to former presidents tend to locate their offices around the

553
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 11: same area where they have their foundation.

554
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 2: So we don't know what kind of colemingling is going on.

555
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 11: You know, there's been reforms introduced in Congress to put

556
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 11: a cap on the pension amount given just the immense

557
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 11: wealth of these people, and to to cap the office

558
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 11: expenses given the depending on how how wealthy the people are.

559
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 11: And Biden is an interesting case too, because a former

560
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 11: president will get a tension that's equal to the salary

561
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 11: of a cabinet official. But as you noted, he served

562
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 11: in the Senate for a long time and that also

563
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 11: includes eight years as vice president. So he's a rare

564
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 11: opportunity of rare case where he gets a presidential pension

565
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 11: and he gets a congressional pension. So if he knacts

566
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 11: out his congressional pension, he's currently collecting more than the

567
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 11: president gets. The president gets a salary at four hundred

568
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 11: thousand dollars, we've estimated his pension could be worth as

569
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 11: much as four hundred and seventeen thousand dollars per fine.

570
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 4: That's crazy. President Trump didn't even collect his salary. He

571
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 4: donates it, which is you know, very I think generous

572
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 4: of him to do that. Back to the Biden situation,

573
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 4: you know, he's got these family members and we had

574
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 4: heard that you know, there were Secret Service protection for Hunter,

575
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 4: and I think that was cut off. If I'm not mistaken, Damien.

576
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 4: And does this extend to children of other former presidents?

577
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 4: So they get Secret Service protection?

578
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 2: There are some provisions for that up to a certain age.

579
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 11: I do believe that Trump caught off the additional security

580
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 11: that have been provided for Hunter. Now, now we've fascinated

581
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 11: that taxpayers are standing about five million dollars a year

582
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 11: on all the perks for former presidents, but that does

583
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 11: not include any of the security issues. All that stuff

584
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 11: is classified, so we don't know about that. And say,

585
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 11: these reforms that we're talking about wouldn't impact the security

586
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 11: provisions at all.

587
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 4: So they get all this security and I guess their

588
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 4: children unless it's cut off by the president, and then

589
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 4: you know, all these other perks and everything. I mean,

590
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 4: we've got to rein it in somewhere, and this is

591
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 4: a good place to start. So I'm glad you highlighted this.

592
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 3: Damien. Thank you for your work. Thank you for being

593
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 3: with us here on the.

594
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 4: Ringside Politics Program. Obviously, we got a lot of work

595
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 4: to do. We're thirty seven trillion in debt and I

596
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 4: think a lot of this needs to be cut out.

597
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 4: All right, We've got another who can give us some

598
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 4: insights into what's going on. With our financial situation. Our

599
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 4: first guest was saying that, you know, the situation involving

600
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 4: you know, the economy was a real problem in his district.

601
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 4: Certainly some people were hurting, some were doing well, and

602
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 4: we've got a gentleman who can give us some insight.

603
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,479
Speaker 4: He's a well known financial advisor. John Grace is with

604
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 4: us here in the rings Ibotics program.

605
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 3: John. Are you there, Yes, sir, how are you? Jeff?

606
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 3: Very good, Welcome aboard. John.

607
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 4: So, you know, we've been talking about the debt and

608
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 4: certainly the interest rates could be coming down. We saw

609
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 4: sort of the stock market take off on Friday after

610
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 4: that news came out. But as my first guest was

611
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 4: pointing out, the economy is sort of uneven for some people.

612
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 4: I from my viewpoint, I was pretty happy with how

613
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 4: things have been going under President Trump because you know,

614
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 4: the experts kept saying, well, you know, inflation is going

615
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 4: to skyrocket with the tariffs, and it really has not.

616
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:04,239
Speaker 4: So what's your analysis, John.

617
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 12: I would say, stay tuned. Jeff film at eleven. All Right,

618
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 12: we do not know how these tariffs are going to play.

619
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 12: But if we look at the first example that was

620
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 12: with President Hoover, took office in March of nineteen twenty nine.

621
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 12: The Great Depression started just seven months after he took

622
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 12: office in late October nineteen twenty nine. And let's understand

623
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 12: what that means is because I've only been in the

624
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 12: securities industry since nineteen seventy nine, and the securities industry

625
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 12: wants everybody to just make like it's always happy. Days

626
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 12: are here again. After the Great Depression. They asked that, well,

627
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 12: we only had the Dow and I suspect back in

628
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 12: nineteen thirty it was just the Dow of ten. It

629
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 12: was off eighty seven percent. And the securities industry says, Jeff,

630
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 12: you and your audience don't need to worry. It always

631
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 12: comes back, and you, being right on top of things,

632
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 12: say hey, well, how long did it take.

633
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 6: Well, here's the answer.

634
00:33:56,240 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 12: It only took twenty five years for the stuff market

635
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 12: to come back. And that's assuming you did not do

636
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 12: what you didn't sell a share. I'm sure no one

637
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 12: needed any money for twenty five years.

638
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 3: Right.

639
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 12: A year later, with the yeah, the capital of capitalism,

640
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 12: New York City dropped seventy percent, and the National Association

641
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 12: Relature Economists would tell you, Jeff, it always comes back.

642
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 12: How long did it take, you would ask, and the

643
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,760
Speaker 12: answer is just about forty years after being.

644
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 6: Off seventy percent.

645
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,280
Speaker 12: And then the last you to drop, my friend, yeah,

646
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 12: is life expectancy if we were adults in the nineteen twenties,

647
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 12: was all of fifty seven. So just notice you got

648
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 12: kicked in the assets, as did I if we were

649
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,800
Speaker 12: adults back then, both in stocks and in real estate,

650
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 12: and neither came back while we were still here.

651
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 6: So I think we died with regret. Could this play

652
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 6: out again?

653
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 12: And let's notice the terrorists were imposed June seventeen, nineteen thirty.

654
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 6: I just saw a gentleman on Bloomberg.

655
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 12: He's none other than the head guy for the textile

656
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 12: industry in the country, and he reported that textiles were

657
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,280
Speaker 12: imposed with fourteen ten percent teriffs back in nineteen thirty

658
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 12: that are still in place ninety five years later.

659
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 6: I did not know that.

660
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,280
Speaker 12: He points out that ninety seven percent of our clothing

661
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 12: across the waters, you know, and make you wonder what

662
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 12: other tariffs are still in place. So I don't think

663
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 12: this is going to end well. I want you to

664
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 12: know we're preparing now ye here.

665
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,720
Speaker 4: So you are you are anti you are anti tarriffs.

666
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 4: You you don't like these reciprocal tariffs. You think it

667
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 4: could hurt the economy. You think inflation could kick in.

668
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 4: You think we could have a similar situation where we

669
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:35,439
Speaker 4: had in the thirties, which was a disaster. So I'm

670
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:39,360
Speaker 4: hoping you're wrong, John, because we haven't seen We haven't.

671
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,399
Speaker 4: We haven't seen much so far. But let's talk about

672
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 4: another issue that you're that you're an expert on.

673
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:48,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, just just notice that the summer tends to be calm.

674
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,280
Speaker 12: This summer was not calm, But it's when the fall

675
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:54,399
Speaker 12: hits that the October or the September becomes a month

676
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 12: to remember.

677
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:56,320
Speaker 6: So stay tuned.

678
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 12: This takes a while to actually show up, kind of

679
00:35:58,680 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 12: like a slow growing tree.

680
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 6: It takes a while for it to grow and blossom.

681
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 6: So stay tuned.

682
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 4: But let's just summarize where we are now. So the

683
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 4: tariffs have brought in more revenue for the country, Inflation

684
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 4: does seem to be relatively team, and the stock market

685
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:18,880
Speaker 4: is hitting a record highs. And we've got now word

686
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 4: on Friday than interest rates could be coming down. Isn't

687
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 4: that what we've been needing for another industry? You're very

688
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 4: familiar with the real estate industry. Hasn't that been hurting

689
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 4: because interest rates are so high or not?

690
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 12: Tell us John, Well, you know, listen, we need to

691
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 12: look a little bit closer under the hood.

692
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 6: Okay, the real estate industry is not just a function

693
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 6: of interest rates, location or inventory. Where we missed the boat.

694
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:47,360
Speaker 12: I mean to almost every expert I know, every pundit

695
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:49,399
Speaker 12: I know in the real estate industry, we're not looking

696
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 12: at the buying and selling behavior Jeff, of consumers based

697
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 12: on age. Are you kidding me? It's that simple. Yes,

698
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 12: it's that simple. When rates were sixteen percent for thirty years,

699
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:00,760
Speaker 12: boomers were standing in the line to buy a house.

700
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,360
Speaker 6: Nothing to do with interest rates, location or inventory.

701
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,919
Speaker 12: Thirty one has historically been the age most Americans bought

702
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,760
Speaker 12: their first house. Forty one is the age most Americans

703
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 12: have bought their biggest house, and seventy eight is the

704
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 12: age that most Americans start selling their homes. And also

705
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 12: that's when we start dying off. So we have just

706
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 12: entered the twilight zone in real life. This is completely uncharted.

707
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:28,400
Speaker 12: And just notice that there's sixteen million bacant homes in

708
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 12: America today. The top two states of Florida one point

709
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 12: seven in California one point two. Something's happening here and

710
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 12: here comes seventy six billion people.

711
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 3: So you, I mean, do you.

712
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 4: Think and we only have a minute, so I know

713
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 4: you said there are other factors, but do you think

714
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 4: reducing interest rates will help move some of these homes

715
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 4: or not?

716
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 12: It might, but let's understand, we've got twenty percent of

717
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 12: the population who own over forty percent of the homes

718
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:57,720
Speaker 12: who are subsequently going to be going to heaven.

719
00:37:57,800 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 6: Inventory is going to remain pretty flat.

720
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 12: Can tell me where prices are going to go, And

721
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 12: we're suggesting don't be surprised to see the market off

722
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 12: eighty stocks and don't be surprised to see real estate

723
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 12: off sixty go back to ten years ago to see

724
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 12: what the house was worth it. That might be your future.

725
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 12: Might be a good time to take your chips off

726
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 12: youy right.

727
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 4: I like having contrarian voices here on the program. We

Speaker 4: Oh well, thank you, sir and Michael, thanks for everything

762
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 4: you do. Give our viewers a brief overview of how

763
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 4: invest USA helps protect our law enforcement officials.

764
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 13: Well. Invest was started thirty two years ago and it

765
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 13: was done for the particular purpose of making sure our

766
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 13: officers have the necessary equipment to protect themselves, ie body armor,

767
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 13: bulletproof vests. And what we found out is that fifty

768
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 13: two percent when we started did not have this protective gear.

769
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 13: We got that down to nineteen percent, and then the

770
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 13: criminals decided to instead of using handguns, which is what

771
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 13: the best were rated for, decided to start using long

772
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 13: range rifles AK forty sevens and others. So we had

773
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 13: to stop creating new technology called active shoot invests, which

774
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 13: have titanium plates in them. But unfortunately, since this relatively new,

775
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 13: we only have temper of allbatros across the country that

776
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 13: have this vest, ninety percent do not, and definitely they

777
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 13: need it from everything they're experiencing out in the field.

778
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:12,840
Speaker 4: Michael, let's talk about the crime crackdown going on in DC.

779
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 4: Isn't this going to protect the citizens and the law

780
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,400
Speaker 4: enforcement officers in the DC. If you bring in the

781
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 4: National Guard, bring in all these federal agents, it seems

782
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:23,320
Speaker 4: to be working.

783
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 3: But the left is very critical of it.

784
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 13: What say you, Michael, Well, we expect the left to

785
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,279
Speaker 13: be very critical of there's a reason why. Let's go

786
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:32,280
Speaker 13: back to your first taatement.

787
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 2: It is exceptionally successful. Crime.

788
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,879
Speaker 13: Zero murders you never heard of in a week in DC.

789
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:42,760
Speaker 13: Last time that happened with decades ago. Zero murders last

790
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 13: week and eighth day now was zero murders in DC.

791
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 13: Crime violent crime that's car jackings, et cetera. Down eighty

792
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 13: six percent. The populace is absolutely a static. Now you're

793
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:01,400
Speaker 13: going to hear different. It just came out today saying

794
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:04,359
Speaker 13: we're bringing in another seven hundred and fifty guardsener, we're

795
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 13: bringing up to fifteen hundred. We had it initially, but

796
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 13: we do eight hundred. We're up to fifteen hundred now.

797
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:11,839
Speaker 13: And now they're saying, oh, that's too many. People are

798
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 13: going to be upset. They're complaining, they think you're making

799
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 13: it a militarized zone. And actually we've not been able

800
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:20,320
Speaker 13: to find any of those residents. I'm sure a few exists.

801
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:24,319
Speaker 14: But the vasty the vast majority. It doesn't take a

802
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 14: rocket sciences Jeff to know that when you have massive

803
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:31,959
Speaker 14: presents on the street, you have zeroed almost zero crime.

804
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:33,799
Speaker 13: It's just a fact the life.

805
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 4: And you know, the people that live there appreciate that

806
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 4: because they've been carjacked, they've been robbed, they have loved

807
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 4: ones who have been killed. These outside agitators, these hippies

808
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 4: is as Steven Miller called them, coming in and complaining,

809
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:50,839
Speaker 4: they're the ones that are clueless. Now, let me ask

810
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 4: you this. We just got about two minutes left. As

811
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,759
Speaker 4: far as expanding this across the country. Do you think

812
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 4: we should move this to Chicago and other areas like

813
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:00,880
Speaker 4: New Orleans that are crime ridden.

814
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:04,719
Speaker 13: Oh, there's no question. In fact, this is where the

815
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,400
Speaker 13: left is so upset. Why you see them getting so

816
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 13: hotile and so negative towards the program. They understand this

817
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:14,840
Speaker 13: very clearly, Jeff. In the last election, one of the

818
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 13: key components in the landslide by Donald Trump was the

819
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:20,319
Speaker 13: fact that he was guaranteed and we were going to

820
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 13: do something about crime. Everybody knows that's the key issue.

821
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:26,359
Speaker 13: This is being so successful, we've already established it. We're

822
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 13: going to move this across the country. It's going to Chicago, Detroit,

823
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:33,320
Speaker 13: New York, LA. It was just a few Portland, Seattle,

824
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:36,800
Speaker 13: going into Austin, Texas. You're going to see this program

825
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 13: expanded as crime goes down. We have big term elections

826
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:42,919
Speaker 13: next year, people's recognition of who did it goes up,

827
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 13: and that's a bad recipe for the Democrats.

828
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:49,720
Speaker 4: Amen to that, Michael Letts, as always, you're the best.

829
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 4: Thank you so much. Keep up the great work. And

830
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 4: that's invest USA. And of course Michael less has a

831
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:59,360
Speaker 4: great team that helps him with all of his wonderful

832
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:02,200
Speaker 4: work that he does for our law enforcement officials. All right,

833
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 4: talking about these blue areas with these blue politicians that

834
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:09,839
Speaker 4: are doing horribly. There's this leftist that wants to win

835
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:13,279
Speaker 4: the erace for governor in Virginia and one of her

836
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:17,440
Speaker 4: supporters was brandishing a pretty racist.

837
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 3: Sign the other day.

838
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 4: To give you a little insight into these left wingers,

839
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 4: let's check out clip number five of Unifies that's getting

840
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 4: a lot of play on TV erasist sign. So she's like,

841
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 4: oh no, yeah, that's very racist, lady. And that's where

842
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 4: we see a lot of the racism from these left

843
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 4: wingers that are always accusing conservatives of being racist, you know,

844
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 4: look in the mirror, folks. And then what about corruption?

845
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 4: Of course Mayra Adams in New York, a Democrat. He

846
00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 4: has an assistant who wound up giving a bag of

847
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:05,239
Speaker 4: cash to a reporter and this was exposed and a

848
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:08,439
Speaker 4: reporter went up and talked to her about it. Let's

849
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:10,280
Speaker 4: check out clip number six.

850
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 11: Can you please tell.

851
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:15,879
Speaker 7: Us focusing what was the purpose between.

00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 3: Then I.

Speaker 5: That's Chinese culture, So I've got to have your birthday gift.

00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:56,399
Speaker 5: That's somebody to be my birthact gift.

Speaker 4: Yes, she has been fired from her role in the

870
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 4: Adams administration. That explanation made zero sense. All right, let's

871
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 4: check out some of these memes of the week. The

872

881
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 4: forward and continue on with the show. He lost it

882
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 4: all when he became so incredibly anti Trump. We've got

883
