1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: It's all about more money and people's pockets that they

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 1: earned and that they deserve to spend or invest however

3
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 1: they want to.

4
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,639
Speaker 2: It's going to be great for the economy. The bet

5
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:13,319
Speaker 2: is Congressman.

6
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: David Kustoff talking about tax refunds. We've heard that they

7
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: are going to be the largest on record, and in

8
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:25,799
Speaker 1: many respects, the tax cuts that are going to be

9
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: realized come tax time, it's endemic. I think of Trump's

10
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: first eleven plus months endemic of the successes of twenty

11
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: twenty five, which is largely underappreciated and at times misunderstood.

12
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: It's been absolutely incredible, and just like with the case

13
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: of the tax cuts, they have so many people that

14
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: haven't realized the benefit yet. Yeah, the Trump tax policy

15
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: was made permanent, that was put in place during his

16
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: first time, so that happened. But the additional tax cuts,

17
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: so many people just have not realized that benefit because well,

18
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: they didn't change their withholding this year and so it's

19
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: not going to be until they file their taxes. They go, oh,

20
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: my gosh, that's what it really means to me. And

21
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: I think without a doubt that's what we're going to

22
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: see as we roll into twenty twenty six, is that,

23
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:20,479
Speaker 1: Oh we had that kind of success? Insert policy here.

24
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: Brian Mudd in for Clay and Buck and I'm the

25
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: hosts of The Brian Mud Show, broadcasting from my home

26
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: station in West Palm Beach, just miles away from El

27
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: Presidente and mar and Lago. It is always an honor

28
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: and a pleasure to have the opportunity to share time

29
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: with you. Thank you for taking time on this New

30
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: Year's Eve to join me, and you can always check

31
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 1: me out at Brian Mud Radio, socially the Brian Mud

32
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: Show podcast where you get your podcasts. And the first

33
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: hour of the show, I went through my expectations based

34
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: upon prisident Trump's twenty point plan is save America what

35
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: he ran on coming into this year, to see the

36
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: real progress that's been made, and rhetorically it's pretty clear that, yeah,

37
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: we made progress against all twenty of these things. Now

38
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: I want to get specific because the one thing I

39
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: always talk about there being two sides to stories and

40
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: one side of facts.

41
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 2: So let's talk facts.

42
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: When I talked about this being our year, what has

43
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: happened through the first eleven plus months, Well, take a

44
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: look at the first item, eye outline, if you waited

45
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: much of your life hoping for fundamental changes with the

46
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: way our federal government operates, like having the less of

47
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: it intruding into your.

48
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 2: Life, that this would be your year.

49
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: As of December twenty third, there are approximately two hundred

50
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: and seventy one thousand fewer federal government employees compared to

51
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: January twentieth of this year. The size of the federal

52
00:02:55,360 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: bureaucracy excluding the military, has shrunk by greater than nine

53
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: percent since Trump took office. Did you know, almost a

54
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: tenth of the federal bureaucracy Gonzo in year one. We've

55
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: shrunk the federal bureaucracy by almost one percent per month.

56
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 2: That Trump has been in office.

57
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: And I understand for those that our federal government employees

58
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: have been impacted, that might not necessarily be a good thing.

59
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: But for the rest of us, look, we don't exist,

60
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: and we don't go to work for a bloated federal

61
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: bureaucracy to exist. Mention that if you've been waiting for

62
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: the death of political correctness and wokeness, that this would

63
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: be your year, well, there's a lot of context that

64
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: goes into this. You have changes all over the place

65
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: to give you an idea. Let's talk corporate America for

66
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: a moment. So within corporate America, you've had twenty percent

67
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: of companies that have outright eliminated DEI programs altogether this year.

68
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: A lot of them that did it right after the

69
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: election last year that we're getting ready for Trump coming in.

70
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: You've had an additional ten percent of companies that had

71
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: DEI programs that reduced the spending or influence of those

72
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: programs this year on college campuses big time. Four hundred

73
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: and thirty two colleges and universities across forty seven states,

74
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: so almost all states, even most blue states, have eliminated

75
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 1: DEI programs this year. You start talking about college wokeness.

76
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: The NCUBA, they changed their official policies stands to end

77
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: men that wake up and goo yeah, feeling like a

78
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: chick today, those kinds of people, the homosexual alphabetters. NCAA

79
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: changed their policy to end those people pretending to be

80
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: women and competing as though they are in collegiate athletics.

81
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 2: That was big time speaking of that type of thing.

82
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: President Trump also ended Trane's in the military. You still

83
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: have some legal battles about the extent of all this,

84
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: but the one of the big things the insane taxpayer

85
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: funded conversions for those who have enlisted, which, by the way,

86
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: for a lot of the people that identified on the

87
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 1: homosexual alphabet that ended up getting into the military the transitioners.

88
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: One of the big reasons that a lot of them

89
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: did it is because wellie, you and I tax pay

90
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 1: types would go ahead and pay for that. Previously, I

91
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: mentioned that if you had been waiting for a time

92
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: in which the godless Soulston's lenders legacy news media would

93
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 1: become irrelevant, that this would be your year.

94
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 2: And you have seen the.

95
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: Fallout all throughout this year, including massive leadership changes, massive

96
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: news organizations including CBS News, NPR, NBC including the big

97
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: breakup from ms NBC what is now ms now, and

98
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: even at the BBC because of their January sixth editing

99
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: fake news scandal. Mention that if you wanted the rule

100
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: of law to be upheld, that this would be your year.

101
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: And this can go in numerous directions, but consider this.

102
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: It's so easy to forget to talk about the success

103
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: that President Trump has had and how so much of

104
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: it is like, oh yeah, if you think about these specifics,

105
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 1: do you remember the very first law president Trump's signed.

106
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 1: What was the very first bill signed in the law

107
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 1: by President Trump happened in his first week.

108
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 2: It happened to be the Lake and Riley.

109
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 1: Act, Right, So, talk about the rule of law being upheld,

110
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 1: you had the Lake and Riley Act signed right away.

111
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,559
Speaker 1: He signed twelve executive orders this year beyond that aimed

112
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: at improving law and order and specific to legal challenges.

113
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: Because this has been front and center, right. I mean,

114
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 1: every time that Trump breathes, you have somebody that's suing

115
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: him because he took that breath, and so every executive order,

116
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 1: every policy announcement, somebody assuming about something.

117
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 2: But when the cases have made it.

118
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: To the Supreme Court, President Trump has still had favorable

119
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: outcomes on twenty one of the twenty four cases that

120
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: have gone that far. Twenty one of the twenty four,

121
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: which tells you that the role of law is largely

122
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: being upheld ultimately, despite all of the frustrations in getting there.

123
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: Oftentimes I mentioned that if you want an equal justice

124
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: under the law, this would be your year. And if

125
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: you wanted to seal the border, stop the migrant invasion.

126
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: Of course, this a big part of President Trump's twenty

127
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: point plan. Well, of all of the achievements, it's probably

128
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: the best known. That's also the most underappreciated, the success

129
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: with the border, because not only did President Trump follow

130
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: through on immediately sealing the southern border, total illegal border

131
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: crossings include gonaways, they're at the lowest level in recorded history,

132
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: having declined by well over ninety nine percent from those

133
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: Biden eural levels. And to put it in another way,

134
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: there were often more illegal border crossings in a typical

135
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: day under the Biden administration than we have had in

136
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: over eleven months under the Trump administration. Think about that,

137
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: We commonly had more illegal border crossings in a single

138
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: day with Biden than we have had through over eleven months.

139
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: And that goes hand in glove with the next piece,

140
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: which is, if you wanted the largest deportation operation in

141
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: American history to remove the record number of the illegal

142
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: immigrants from this country, that well, this would would be

143
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 1: your year. And it certainly has been so a lot

144
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: of people will take a look at the deportations by

145
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,839
Speaker 1: ice and miss most of the story. We have had

146
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: a record breaking two and a half plus million deportations.

147
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: That's right, We've had over two and a half million

148
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 1: deportations that taken place since the onset of the Trump administration.

149
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: That includes one point nine million self deportations. As I

150
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: mentioned in the first hour, that is the single best

151
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: thing that can possibly happen, because not only does that

152
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: solve itself that problem, but it also saves us greater

153
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 1: than seventeen thousand dollars per person in the process, because

154
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 1: that's how much it costs to go through the detention process,

155
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: to send ice out, to have them detain these people,

156
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: to put them in the deportation facilities, to keep them there,

157
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 1: and then eventually to take them wherever. So effectively, in

158
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: the first eleven months of the Trump administration, what's been accomplished, Well,

159
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,439
Speaker 1: they've reduced the illegal immigrant population by somewhere in the

160
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: neighborhood of about one year's worth of Biden's open border policies.

161
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: Not bad, lots more to go, but given how much

162
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: harder it is to actually deport people are already here

163
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: compared to just letting anybody and everybody across that border,

164
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: or flying them in, or the CBP one home map,

165
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: as the case happened to be, it's pretty remarkable. What's

166
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: more is that Trump administration recently finalized the deal with

167
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:27,719
Speaker 1: Boeing to significantly accelerate deportations going forward. And so if

168
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 1: they're able, if ICE is able to do a lot

169
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 1: more going forward, and you start having kind of that

170
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: next tier with those who have self deported, Like you

171
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: know what, it's getting a little close to home with

172
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: these deportations, maybe it's time for us to reconsider we

173
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: can maybe even accelerate that progress into twenty twenty six.

174
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: So I mentioned if you wanted an end to high

175
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: inflation and for life to become more affordable again, well,

176
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: this would would be your year. Okay, So of anything,

177
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: this is where a lot of folks are like, Look,

178
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: life's expensive. Life is really expensive. Inflation is still how

179
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: things cost too much. Okay, Now, a couple things about this.

180
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 1: I've always said that you can lie to people about

181
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: what policy will do, and those who are inclined to

182
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 1: believe that politician might for a time, but you can't

183
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: lie to people about what is or isn't in their

184
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: wallet because they know which. By the way, as we

185
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: are talking about Obamacare subsidies coming to an end today

186
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: that you have the left that's freaking out about. In reality,

187
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: I actually went all the way back in my analysis

188
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: of Obamacare, which evidently was greater than Nancy Pelosi's at

189
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: the time. Remember, we had to we had to sign it,

190
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: I had to pass it to know what was in it.

191
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 1: That's actually where I came up with that, saying that

192
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: you can lie to people about what policy will do,

193
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: and those who are inclined to believe my for a time,

194
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: but you can't lie to people about what is or

195
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: isn't in their wall because they know. When I was

196
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,719
Speaker 1: dealing with the Obamacare issue way back when, and I

197
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: ended up bringing out analysis that show now, this is

198
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: actually going to create more problems. You're not going to

199
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:09,319
Speaker 1: be able to keep your doctor, You're not going to

200
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: be able to keep your insurance plan if you want to.

201
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 2: All these things.

202
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: That was the response I had for people who didn't

203
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: want to hear it. No, because Obama said, well, you can.

204
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 2: See what is or isn't in your wallet.

205
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: You can see what the real healthcare crisis is, which

206
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 1: is Obamacare. Some people are really continuing to struggle under

207
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: the way to cost pressures generally and affordability issues. Don't

208
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: want to minimize that it's real. But with that said,

209
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: the fact of the matter is that the average American

210
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: it's actually fearing far better today compared to prior to

211
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: January twentieth. Consider this Consumer Price Index, that's your inflation.

212
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: Right for the first three quarters of President Trump's administration,

213
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: it's averaged two point seven percent. Now, that's lower than

214
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: the rate that Trump inherited from the Biden administration, despite

215
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: the impact of tariffs. But what is most important, and

216
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: this is what didn't happen during the Biden administration, the

217
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: average income has increased by three and a half percent

218
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 1: year every year. Okay, so if you're the average person,

219
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: net of inflation, you're actually doing about one percent better off.

220
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: You got money that's left over that you didn't have

221
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: prior to January twentieth. That's the big difference, because under

222
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: the Biden administration, the average American was worse off progressively,

223
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 1: the average American by the time Biden was done with

224
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: inflation and what happened with income growth, with the average

225
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: person about three percent worse.

226
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 2: Off than they were previously. So it was real.

227
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: We've reversed that in the first year by about one percent.

228
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: So it still isn't exactly where it needs to be.

229
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: Trump knows that, but we have made a lot of

230
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: progress there in eleven plus months. Well, what's more is

231
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 1: that as US economic growth has been surging, as was

232
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: evidenced by the four point three percent third quarter growth rate,

233
00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: which by the way, that followed the three point eight

234
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: percent economic growth r in the second quarter, the economy

235
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: keeps doing a lot better than the so called experts

236
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:09,079
Speaker 1: think it will. We're seeing the economy grow far in

237
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: excess of inflation two and that should really help continue

238
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 1: to facilitate wage growth and job opportunities despite the impacts

239
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: of ai AS. That's part of the conversation too, So

240
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: there's a lot to feel good about on that front

241
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: as we enter twenty twenty six. We'll continue with the

242
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: receipts next. I'm Brian mudd in for Klay and.

243
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 3: Buck, Patriots radio hosts, a couple of regular guys, Clay

244
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 3: Travis and Buck Sexton. Find them on the free iHeartRadio

245
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 3: app or wherever you get your podcasts.

246
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 4: They're trying to whitewash the operational facts on the ground

247
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 4: purporting to be a legitimate business I have legitimate business

248
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 4: operations when it's all a fugazi. So we're going to

249
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 4: continue to ask those questions we're learning more and more,

250
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 4: especially with the FBI and our DOJ partners on the ground.

251
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: Come Lands Security Assistant Secretary Trisha McLoughlin talking about the

252
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: efforts in Minnesota that we discussed largely in the second

253
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: hour of the show. As we're going through the receipts

254
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: right now on Trump's twenty point plan through the first

255
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: eleven plus months, often so much more progress that's been

256
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: made than I believe what people necessarily even Trump supporters

257
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: often will fully appreciate. You go through and it's really

258
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: an incredible story. Taking a look at the receipts, will

259
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: continue to break that down. We do have someone who

260
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: are not happy with all the receipts. Apparently, I'll get

261
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: Andrew in Houston with the talkback.

262
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 5: Hey, Brian Mud, you're talking about all these accomplishments, and

263
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 5: I'm a Trump supporter. I voted for him in the

264
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 5: primary in sixteen. You're touting off this twenty point thing.

265
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 5: What about this question?

266
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 2: What are we going to get more money in our pockets?

267
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 5: I don't work on overtime, I don't work on tips,

268
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 5: I'm not on Social Security. I'm not getting any more

269
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 5: money on the tax recurrent. Your guys are trying too

270
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 5: hard to convince people.

271
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, look.

272
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: Two sides of the stories to one side of facts.

273
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: Your taxes would have gone higher if the one biggest

274
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: setically pleasing acts had in passed, because remember the Trump

275
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: tax cuts would have gone away, so down't have been

276
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: a tax increase. And then secondarily what I mentioned, the

277
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: average person is doing better net of inflation than a

278
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: year ago because of these Trump policies. So even if

279
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: you didn't get an additional tax break, above and beyond,

280
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: as you're talking about, the odds are you're doing better

281
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: than you were if you're just the average person then

282
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: on January twentieth. So it's not about trying, it's about

283
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: there being two sides of stories and one.

284
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 2: Side of facts.

285
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what we will continue to do as

286
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: I break down the receipts of that twenty point plan.

287
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: And let's remember it's only been eleven plus months too,

288
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: there is much more to come. I just think that

289
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: it's important to take note of the accomplishments that we've

290
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: already seen.

291
00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 2: Brian Mudd in for Clan Buck.

292
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 3: Slee, Travis and Buck Sexton on the front Line of Truth.

293
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 6: We're in the bullseye here. It was the snowiest day

294
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 6: on record for Syracuse two feet in one day, and

295
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 6: now we have mounds of snow all over the city

296
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 6: that are taller than us, taller than cars, and people

297
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 6: are just digging out. This brings the city to three

298
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 6: feet above average for the season.

299
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: That is Fox Weather's Katie Byrne, and that Lake Effect

300
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: snow of State New York. I have a feeling it

301
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 1: will be a lot of New Year's celebrations that will

302
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: be inside and just with the family's indoors. So I

303
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,880
Speaker 1: do hope you and your family have had a very

304
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:52,199
Speaker 1: merry Christmas season. Happy New Year to you as we

305
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: roll into twenty twenty six. Brian Mudd here for Clay

306
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: and Buck, and I've been going through the receipts on

307
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: President trump twenty point plan that he ran on and

308
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: that he's worked on every single one of those points

309
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:10,719
Speaker 1: during the course of this first eleven plus months. And

310
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 1: it's easy even for a Trump supporter to overlook the

311
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: extent of the success and in so many different areas,

312
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 1: I tell you, in researching and analyzing this for you,

313
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 1: that plenty of surprised this for me, I'm pretty informed

314
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: on this stuff, but there's still things like Holy Cow

315
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: or things that I'd forgotten because he accomplished them so quickly.

316
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: And so we're up to energy in the twenty point plan.

317
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: And when I mentioned that if you wanted to take

318
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: advantage of US energy resources as opposed to being reliant

319
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,120
Speaker 1: on foreign sources of energy, well this would.

320
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 2: Be your year.

321
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 1: We certainly have seen that type of policy in placed

322
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: by the Trump administration. And what has the net result been, Well,

323
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 1: total domestic energy production record high right now, it's increased

324
00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: by about four percent. And that is not mostly the

325
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: because of oil. I mean, oil is a big part

326
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 1: of it. Oil productions up three percent, but electricity productions

327
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: up to you've had a five percent increase in that gas.

328
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: But here's something that probably surprised a lot of people.

329
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: The biggest percentage growth increases come with renewables. Yeah. Trump

330
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 1: just canceled the wind offshore program, and yet you've had

331
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 1: solar that has really led the way and renewables. There's

332
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: eleven percent more energy being produced right now today by

333
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: renewables then we had on January twentieth. If you've wanted

334
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: American companies to return manufacturing to the US instead of

335
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: relying on countries like China. Well, this would be your year.

336
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at the scorecard in this one.

337
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: All in, fifty nine percent of manufacturing companies that do

338
00:19:55,880 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: business in the United States have increased manufacturing activity and

339
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: that has come through either existing footprints or restoring operations.

340
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 2: So what does that actually mean.

341
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 1: Well, US manufacturing employment has increased by two hundred and

342
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: forty four thousand jobs this year. You've also had an

343
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: additional one hundred and seventy four thousand jobs estimated to

344
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 1: have been protected be saved by the Trump administration policies

345
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 1: on manufacturing specific to reliance on China. China, the tariff

346
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: policies and everything that have been put in place that

347
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 1: have been aimed at the resurgence in US manufacturing.

348
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 2: What's happened this probably will surprise you.

349
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: Prior to January twentieth, just over a fifth of all

350
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: the stuff you bought was made in China. Twenty two

351
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: percent of stuff purchased in the US made in China,

352
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: most recently fourteen percent. We're at fourteen percent. It's pretty

353
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: significant and the short window a time. Funny what happens

354
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 1: when you have American first executive orders when you encourage

355
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: US manufacturing, and you also see the impact of tariff

356
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: policy that way as well. Mention that if you want

357
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 1: to lower taxes, including an end to taxes on tips, overtime,

358
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 1: social Security, this would be your ear so done, done

359
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: and done on that one. President Trump's one big beautiful bill,

360
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 1: you know, so you might take a look at it

361
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:31,360
Speaker 1: and go, well, and it might be somewhat potentially esthetically pleasing.

362
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,640
Speaker 1: It delivered in a big way.

363
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 2: So the average.

364
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: Employee who earns tips saves now about two thousand dollars

365
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 1: annually in federal taxes. The average employee who works overtime

366
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 1: during a given year will save about fourteen hundred dollars

367
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 1: and federal income taxes annually. And as for those collecting

368
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: Social Security, which is just about everyone, in a certain point,

369
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: approximately ninety percent of recipients will have absolutely no federal

370
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: income tax liability for Social Security going forward.

371
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 2: What does that mean?

372
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: Savings A fifteen hundred dollars per Social Security recipient per year?

373
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,880
Speaker 1: Kind of a big deal, right, kind of a big deal.

374
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: All these different things, and again most of that hasn't

375
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: been realized because people haven't adjusted their withholding and so

376
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: it's going to show up when it comes time to

377
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 1: file taxes. Mention that if you wanted a president who

378
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 1: will defend our constitution, our constitutional rights, this would be

379
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:39,919
Speaker 1: your year. Well, ninety seven Biden era executive actions have

380
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: been formally rescinded by President Trump. Sixteen Biden era regulatory

381
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 1: rules have been overturned through the Congressional Review Act process.

382
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 1: You got a lot more that are still currently under

383
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 1: consideration through federal courts. And again, President Trump's win rate

384
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: by the time you get to the Supreme Court not

385
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: ninety percent, so most of what's under review he'll win on.

386
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: Trump has taken executive action to protect free speech, on

387
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: Second Amendment rights, restore a meritocracy, establishing a Religious Liberty Commission.

388
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: He's taken executive action on voter integrity, on treating homosexual

389
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: alphabet people as a protected class, and notably the birthright

390
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: Citizenship executive Order that is of course under consideration by

391
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,199
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court. Will be a hot button into the

392
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 1: next year. Mention that if you've wanted an end to

393
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 1: foreign wars and conflicts that entangle and are often paid

394
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 1: for by you and me, that this would be your year.

395
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: Holy Call has it ever been. I mean, there's no

396
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: doubt that he's had more success. I think just about

397
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: anybody would have thought he possibly would have une peace.

398
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 1: President Trump proved during his first term that he was

399
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: the ultimate arbiter at piece. Then you get Biden's weakness,

400
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: all the messes, all the wars that up, and you

401
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 1: start taking a look at what a peacemaker and unifier

402
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: he's already been. What has he done as your band

403
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: in Armenia, negotiating peace there, Cambodia and Thailand, peace there,

404
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 1: Israel and Iran, ending that war, Gazan's in Israel, bringing

405
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:22,120
Speaker 1: that to resolution, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo,

406
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: Indian Pakistan, Egypt, in Ethiopia, Serbia and Kosovo. Again, things

407
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 1: that people didn't even really realize were going on. He

408
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 1: had success in bringing peace to.

409
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 2: Nothing.

410
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 1: You in Trump he's brought a record amount of peace

411
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: in a short period of time. And of course he's

412
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: actively working right now to bring an end to the

413
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: Russian Ukraine War. Hearing that very possibly could have progress here.

414
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 1: There's still some details to be worked out, but as

415
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 1: close as they've been to maybe getting to that finish

416
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 1: line of that war, and again even when the US

417
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: has taken sides and we've gotten involved, it's no longer

418
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: free lunch.

419
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 2: We don't get taken advantage of the way we used to.

420
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,640
Speaker 1: So you know, we get minerals from Ukraine, rare earth

421
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 1: minerals and related natural resources. Weapons that we supply Ukraine.

422
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:22,400
Speaker 1: They're paid for through NATO, and all that mention that

423
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: if you wanted an end to the weaponization the federal

424
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,400
Speaker 1: government against select groups of people, this would be your

425
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: year well. From Arctic frost and the Biden administration's unconstitutional

426
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,360
Speaker 1: targeting of members of Congress, among others, to the IRS

427
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 1: targeting of conservatives, pressure put on financial institutions to de

428
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:43,640
Speaker 1: bank conservatives or purchases they didn't like, to the pressure

429
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: put on big tech to censor conservatives speech, to platform conservatives.

430
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 2: All that stuff, it's all gone.

431
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 1: It's kind of easy to forget that all that was

432
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: in place not long ago, all been taken care of.

433
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: If you've wanted an in to the migrant crime and

434
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: drug get epidemic, this would be your year well. When

435
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,640
Speaker 1: non citizens having become greater than nine times more likely

436
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 1: to commit crimes compared to legal citizens like you and me,

437
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: natural born Americans by the end of the Biden administration

438
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: because how many bad Ombras were brought into this country.

439
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 1: No surprise that when you close the border and have

440
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 1: over two point five million fewer illegal emigrants in this country,

441
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna have a significant decrease in crime. And that's

442
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:36,199
Speaker 1: exactly what we've seen. And by the way, when you

443
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: talk about the specific some lower crime since January twentieth,

444
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: homicides seventeen percent lower, robberies twenty five percent lower, thefts

445
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: twenty five percent lower. Overall violent crimes down eleven percent

446
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:55,120
Speaker 1: this country, property crimes twelve percent lower. It's not bad

447
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: for eleven months. One of the things if you want

448
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,159
Speaker 1: to see safety we restored to our large cities, this

449
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,439
Speaker 1: would be your year. You pick up on the overall

450
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: numbers the improvements and crime across large cities where the

451
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 1: Trump administration has been brought allowed to be brought in

452
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: and do what they want to do with the guard

453
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: had a huge success. For example, if you take a

454
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 1: look at DC, the crime rate is greater than twenty

455
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: percent lower than a year ago. Memphis another big time

456
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: success story. That way, you just have far too many

457
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,640
Speaker 1: local governments that are like now, we like the illegals.

458
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: We like the crime and the violence. Beyond me mention

459
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 1: that if you wanted to see our military rebuilt without wokeness,

460
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 1: this would be your year.

461
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 2: Well.

462
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 1: As previously mentioned, the President ended the days of trening

463
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 1: policies in the military, but the overall impact has extended

464
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 1: well beyond just that, because while rebranding the Defense Department

465
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: of the War Department, you have War Secretary Pete Hagseth

466
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: that's focused on reinstilling fitness readiness to the armed forces,

467
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:03,360
Speaker 1: and also that the readiness needs to be there from

468
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 1: generals on down. They need to be ready to serve

469
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: to fight even if they were if it were necessary.

470
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 1: The discipline back in the military. If you've wanted to

471
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 1: see the integrity of the US dollar preserved around the world,

472
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 1: this would be your year. Well, after years of the clients,

473
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 1: the US dollars place is the world's reserve currency. It's

474
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: grown this year from a total of just under twelve

475
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 1: point four trillion being held by foreign governments to thirteen

476
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,479
Speaker 1: trillion most recently. Again, a lot of people will take

477
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 1: a look at the US dollar and think, oh, it's

478
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 1: weaker than it was and o gold and silver.

479
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 2: It means things are bad.

480
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: Actually, if you take a look, the US dollar has

481
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 1: five percent more influence around the world today than it

482
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: did prior to January twentieth. If you wanted to see

483
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 1: Medicare and Social Security strengthen so that they're not soon insolvent,

484
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 1: this would be your year. There's a lot of work

485
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:56,719
Speaker 1: to do there, and again a lot of that has

486
00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 1: to come with Congress. But starting with DOGE and continue

487
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: with some of the provisions and the One Big Beautiful

488
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 1: Bill Act, you get a total of nine billion dollars

489
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 1: annually and fraudulently issued benefits and Social Security that have

490
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 1: been eliminated. One billion an administration expense of the program

491
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 1: that's been eliminated. You have enhanced security measures for accessing

492
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: Social Security and Medicare. You might have noticed you try

493
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: to log into your accounts. During the course of this year.

494
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: As for Medicare, three hundred and twenty four arrests for

495
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: fraud had been made. Althost fifteen billion dollars in annual

496
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: fraud has been eliminated from the program. You have additional

497
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: savings of twelve billion annually that have been achieved through

498
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: Trump's renegotiation of prescription drug prices, which is another huge

499
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 1: way that many people are saving on prescription drugs these

500
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: days as well, but also medicare specifically. So yeah, a

501
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: lot of work to do, huge progress that's been made

502
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: through eleven months. And Jim that if you wanted to

503
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: end federal regulations, the limit consumer choice, drive of prices,

504
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 1: this would be your year. Well, the Trump administration's cut

505
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 1: a total of six one hundred and forty six regulations.

506
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 1: What does that meant to you, Well, about six hundred

507
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 1: dollars less and consumer expense annually. One of the ways

508
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 1: that you're doing better net of inflation than January twentieth

509
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: when you take a look at the cost of these

510
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: regulations is saved American consumers two hundred and twelve billion

511
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: dollars or six hundred per household annually. Not in significant money.

512
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 1: If you want reform and education, the end of a

513
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 1: funding critical race theory, gender fluidity, all those woke agendas

514
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: through the US Department of Education, this would be your year.

515
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 2: So about that.

516
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: No federal department cut as much as the Department of

517
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: head Over fifty percent of the employees have been eliminated.

518
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: Big swaths of the department's responsibilities redirected, including K through

519
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 1: twelve and post secondary education and oversight to the Department

520
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: of Labor, Indian education programs to the Interior Department, childcare

521
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 1: grants and accreditation to health and Human Services international programs

522
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: to the State Department. So there's been huge progress that's

523
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 1: been made. I'm doing just about all I can without

524
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: an active Congress to actually eliminate the Department of Ed

525
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: once and for all. We still have more receipts here

526

539
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,959
Speaker 1: Been going through the receipts and there have been so

540
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 1: many Trump's twenty point plan to save America. You know,

541
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: the next one up on the agenda, the wokeness in

542
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 1: women's sports and so On February fifth, Trump signed the

543
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 1: Executive Order Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports, and that

544
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: interpreted Title AGT or Title nine to require that, you know,

545
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: women's sports categories be reserved just for individuals assign female

546
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: gender at birth and imagine that. And so the NCAA

547
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: they responded in kind.

548
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 2: That was huge.

549
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: Another one, Trump talked about putting an end to anti

550
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: semitism on college campuses. What's happened while he signed that

551
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 1: executive order in January, sixty schools have had action taken

552
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: against them by the administration, over four hundred million dollars

553
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 1: in funds, withheld a lot of changes in policies, including

554
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: changes in personnel and many of the schools as well.

555
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 2: One of the things that may not have known voting.

556
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, the President got involved in voting too, mandating documentary

557
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: proof of US citizenship on mail voter forms, among other things. Yeah,

558
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 1: the President, he said that he wanted this country to

559
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: be more prosperous than it's ever been. He has secured

560
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 1: a total of nineteen point six trillion dollars in new

561
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 1: investment into this country in eleven months. So yeah, are

562
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 1: we exactly where we want to be? Probably not? Is

563
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: there more work to do?

564
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 2: Yeah?

565
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 1: Has it been an incredible eleven plus months, agad has,

566
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: and so taking account of that and then getting ready

567
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 1: for what comes in the new year is something we

568
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: all can do. We are set for success, and if

569
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 1: we control what we can control, including is showing up

570
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 1: at all elections and put the right people in the

571
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: right places, we can have an even more successful twenty

572
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 1: twenty six than this year's been.

573
