1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 1: Second hour of Clay and Buck kicks off right now, 2 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:06,240 Speaker 1: and we've got a couple things we're falling. One is 3 00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 1: today is the sentencing day for Brian Coberger, who is 4 00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:17,200 Speaker 1: convicted of those four horrific murders of those college students 5 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:21,640 Speaker 1: in Idaho and in Moscow, Idaho. 6 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:24,439 Speaker 2: And that is right now. 7 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 1: Victim impact statements are being read all out of the 8 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 1: court and we are at the end of that legal process. 9 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,879 Speaker 1: He is going to serve four consecutive life sentences. He 10 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 1: did not get the death penalty, which I think for 11 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 1: a lot of people feels like if there's ever somebody 12 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 1: who deserves it, but here we are. So that's that situation. 13 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: But if we have anything from that trial, it's been 14 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: covered live by a lot of news organizations out there. 15 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 1: We have an eye on that to be sure. We've 16 00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: also got, oh boy, a whole bunch of emails coming 17 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: in on the Russia collusion, Russia collusion accountability situation, right, 18 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 1: President Trump, I mean, we can just go right to this. 19 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,960 Speaker 1: This has become now because of some new documents that 20 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 1: have been released by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. 21 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: There are people focusing in on this who perhaps haven't 22 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: in quite some time. Meanwhile, just to say, you know, 23 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: there's some tariff stuff happening we can update you on 24 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: as well some good things on the economy, which is, 25 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: you know, there's a trade agreement now with Japan, create 26 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: a trade agreement with Indonesia. Trump says he just signed 27 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: the largest trade deal in history with Japan. So that 28 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: looks like a very good deal. Five hundred and fifty 29 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: billion dollars will be invested in the United States, which 30 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: will receive ninety percent of the profits, hundreds of thousands 31 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: of jobs, never been anything like it. Trump's very happy 32 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: about that. So there's there's a lot going on, and 33 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: I think one challenge Klay when you're covering the Trump 34 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: administration and trying to pick what you're focusing on. You've 35 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: got many different departments that are making big moves and 36 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: that are doing things that are worthy of public attention 37 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 1: and in some cases acclaim here as well, some very 38 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: good things that we see happening. So the trade agreements 39 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 1: that have gone through are certainly a good thing. Trump's 40 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: also talked about the lawsuits against sixty minutes CBS in 41 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:36,639 Speaker 1: paramount ABC George Stefanopolis. That is something that he spent 42 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: some time on. But here we go back to this 43 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 1: makes Watergate look like small potatoes. Victor Davis Hanson, Senior Fellow, 44 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: Hoover Institution. They are all caught irrefutable evidence. They should 45 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 1: all go to jail or it will never stop. Nobody 46 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: will believe the evidence, which is overwhelming. Make America great again. 47 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 1: That is from Trump's truth social and that is on 48 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: his That is just from the last twenty four hours. Clay, 49 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: Let's let's we should remind everybody. I don't think we've 50 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 1: played this yesterday. I think it's worth playing today. Just 51 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: how dedicated the media was to propagating this, this lie 52 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,679 Speaker 1: of Russia collusion back during We played this in the 53 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: first hour. 54 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:18,799 Speaker 2: Oh sorry, we did play in the first hour. 55 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: Sorry we we But we we have been following up 56 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: on this one, and we're looking more closely, I think 57 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: at the possibility of some kind. 58 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 2: Of accountability maybe happening. 59 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,239 Speaker 1: But we got a lot of these emails coming in, 60 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: like Jeff, he writes, So you're saying that all these 61 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: crooks will face no consequences because everybody does bad stuff. 62 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: If the parties were reversed and it was a Republican 63 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: that did the things Obama and the others did, guarantee 64 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: the Democrats would go for jail time, but we Republicans 65 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: can't do it. 66 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 2: This is ridiculous. Love the show otherwise, Jeff, uh. 67 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: We're not saying it's because everybody does bad stuff and 68 00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: so stuff just happens. And we're not saying we disagree 69 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: with you that Democrats are much more willing to go 70 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: for the jugular, especially weaponizing the system to go for 71 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: the jugular, than Republicans are, or just saying, based on 72 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: what's been laid out, it's going to be a challenge 73 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: to get any actual consequences for any of the people 74 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: involved in Russia collusion. 75 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 2: That's it. 76 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 1: This isn't a I'm not saying I don't want them 77 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: to be charged. I'm saying it will be difficult to 78 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: charge them and even harder to convict them based on 79 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: federal law. And I just think that's where this is 80 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: because the other side of this, we could say, oh, yeah, Brennan, 81 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,599 Speaker 1: you're gonna frog march him out of his house and 82 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: he's gonna end up spending years in prison, and people 83 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,280 Speaker 1: would say to us in a couple of months, Clay, well, 84 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 1: maybe people just forget that this conversation even happened, but 85 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: they'd be saying in a couple of months, why did 86 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 1: you guys say that? Why do you say that there's 87 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: going to be justice and there's no justice. We're not 88 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: saying that because I don't see it. But I could 89 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,799 Speaker 1: be wrong. Anger is not a strategy. So most people 90 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: will only play on anger, and that's fine. That is 91 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: a strategy that works on social media. I'm mad, and 92 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: then you say, Okay, what's your plan? I always say 93 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: anger is an emotion. You need a plan that channels 94 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: the anger in a rational way. So I step back, 95 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 1: dispassionately and say, as an attorney, okay, what are the 96 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 1: methods by which you could channel this anger into charges 97 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 1: that lead to a significant punishment? Because I think for 98 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 1: most people the strategy should not be anger. Toddlers are angry, 99 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: they throw tantrums. Buck You're gonna find out about this 100 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: quite a lot. But their tantrums often have no tangible direction. 101 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: So I don't want to be a toddler. I don't 102 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 1: want to be just walking around throwing a tantrum. Here's 103 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:57,799 Speaker 1: a tangible action that happened yesterday. Trump ended men competing 104 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: in women's sports in the Olympics. Based on his executive order. 105 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: They looked at the issue. We don't think men should 106 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: be competing in women's sports. They analyzed thanks to the 107 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:14,359 Speaker 1: talented people he has around him, the relevant statutes, the 108 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,280 Speaker 1: executive order powers that he had, and he basically ended it. 109 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: Now we're still going to have court cases surrounding it, 110 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: because anytime the president does anything, somebody challenges it, they 111 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: don't like it, and the court cases transpire. But the 112 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 1: reality is men competing in women's sports was ended. 113 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 2: They found. 114 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 1: They were angry about it as you are, as many 115 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: of us are, and they said, we're going to solve it. 116 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,359 Speaker 1: So if you are angry about what you saw, I 117 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: look at this because I can make the arguments in 118 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 1: both directions as I think a criminal defense attorney would, 119 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: and based on all the documents that I have read, 120 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: and I've read a lot of them, what the clear 121 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 1: argument is going to be is, look, there were differing 122 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: interpretations about exactly what the impact of Russia's attempt to 123 00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: influence the twenty sixteen election were. Right, what were the 124 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: impacts one hand? Virtually nothing. I think that that's the reality. 125 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: I think you can go back and look and say 126 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: Russia did not in any way, I don't believe impact 127 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: that Trump won in twenty sixteen. I think most of 128 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: you probably agree with that. The other is, hey, they 129 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: changed election totals. Now, I don't think anybody's arguing that 130 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: they hacked and changed election totals. But Democrats are smart. 131 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,239 Speaker 1: They used the phrase hacked much like they said fifty 132 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: one intelligence agents. Remember the way has all the hallmarks 133 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 1: of Russian disinformation. They know the media are morons and 134 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: will carry their water, so they are very strategic in 135 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: what they put out there. How quickly did has all 136 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: the hallmarks of Russian disinformation for the hunter Biden laptop 137 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: get wandered into this is Russian disinformation almost immediately because 138 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: they skipped right over the language. Hacked can mean many things. 139 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: They did hack Hillary Clinton's emails. By the way, didn't 140 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: Russia hack or China hack a lot of Trump's emails 141 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: and Trump's team in the twenty twenty four election. You 142 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: could speak to this better than anybody. How much of 143 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: the time do foreign adversary spend trying to get access 144 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: to voicemails to emails like it's all they do? 145 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 2: Right? 146 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: They hacked if I remember correctly Jade Vance's cell phone 147 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: China did, and he even came out and said all 148 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: they got were a couple of information messages that were 149 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: texts because everything else was on the cloud. And Apple 150 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: actually has pretty good protective mechanisms as long as your 151 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: phone remains in your possession such that it's hard to 152 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: actually see what those text messages are. My point on 153 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: this is, I just I think we have laid it out, 154 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 1: and I think there are people out there who are 155 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: going to tell you the opposite because they just want 156 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 1: to play on your anger and they're not going to 157 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: the next step of how does it happen? I just 158 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: I think it's important for the historical record. I think 159 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 1: that everyone should understand what they did, but I think 160 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 1: the odds of them being arrested and charged with crimes 161 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: are low. Part of this is because they have a 162 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:13,079 Speaker 1: kangaroo court in their favor. DC is the best possible 163 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: venue if you are a Democrat to try to hold 164 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 1: a Republican accountable, because ninety five percent people on any 165 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 1: jury pool are going to be voting Democrat and they 166 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 1: don't like Republicans, and they will hold you accountable. If Washington, 167 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 1: d C were located in in somewhere are like I 168 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 1: don't know, South Alabama, in a rural district. Yeah, the 169 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: grand jury would indict Obama. This is forum shopping. There 170 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: are lots of places. If I could find the county 171 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,320 Speaker 1: that voted ninety ten for Donald Trump, would they indict 172 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 1: Obama on this evidence? 173 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 2: Yes. 174 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 1: Obama would then argue it's within presidential powers, and I 175 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 1: think the Supreme Court would come down on his side, 176 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: just like they came down on Trump's side. I think 177 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,679 Speaker 1: it's gonna be very hard here now leaking classified documents. 178 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 1: I think, based on and all the evidence I've seen, 179 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 1: that's the best case buck. 180 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 2: How does that go? It's super hard to prove that. 181 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: It's incredibly hard to prove that it really and the 182 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: Obama administration went out for people very very aggressively on 183 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: that front and and had limited success, to be clear, 184 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,199 Speaker 1: So and trying to go after senior. 185 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,959 Speaker 2: Level officials for that stuff is, you know, it can 186 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 2: be a challenge. 187 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,839 Speaker 1: So I don't see that talking to the press about 188 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 1: different things, because they're going to say, yeah, I talked 189 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 1: to the press. A lot of people talk to that 190 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: that you know, unless you have a recording of somebody, 191 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: or they were dumb enough to put it in text 192 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: or email. You're not going to get them. I mean, 193 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: that's again, this is just the way it works. 194 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 2: Right. 195 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 1: People can be frustrated by it. They can be, but 196 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 1: just having a conversation if you're the CIA director with 197 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: the head of the Washington Post, you know, national Security 198 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: desk or whatever, that's not gonna get that's not going 199 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,079 Speaker 1: to get you a conviction and probably wouldn't get you 200 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: a charge. 201 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 2: So there's there's challenges with this. 202 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: I wish it were not so, and I think that 203 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: Trump talking about it is getting everybody on the same 204 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 1: page about just how egregious it was. But I mean, 205 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: I've been here's Victor Davis Hanson by I mentioned this, 206 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 1: this is top five play it. 207 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 3: They wanted Donald Trump's administration to fail, and they wanted 208 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 3: to destroy him career wise, presidential wise, psychologically, they wanted 209 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,239 Speaker 3: to destroy him, and so they went through the collusion 210 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 3: false narrative in twenty fifteen and sixteen that failed. They 211 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 3: took a little breath. 212 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 4: Then they ate up twenty two months and forty million 213 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 4: dollars of his administration to destroy it. Then they took 214 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 4: a little breath and they went into the first impeachment 215 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 4: phony a Zelenski phone call and Venman and the quote 216 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 4: unquote whistleblower. And so this was a three year project 217 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,079 Speaker 4: to overturn the will of the American people and to 218 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:53,079 Speaker 4: destroy administration. Mikes Watergate, as people have remarked on, looked 219 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 4: like small potatoes. 220 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 2: It's all true, it's all correct. 221 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: I just to be clear, I agree with one hundred 222 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 1: percent of what Victor Davis Hanson just said, and I've 223 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 1: agreed with it all along, and I've been saying it 224 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 1: all along. I now, what do we do about it? 225 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 1: Is the question or what's going to be done about it? 226 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 1: Is actually the question we're addressing today. I may be 227 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: in the minority here too. This is all very significant. 228 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: I think the twenty twenty election rigging was far more 229 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: significant than the twenty sixteen allegations, because I don't think 230 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 1: anything in twenty sixteen changed the outcome. I think the 231 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 1: decision to argue the New York Post Hunter Biden laptop 232 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 1: wasn't real. I think the fifty one intelligence agents there, 233 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: I think that actually swung the election. 234 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 2: Right. 235 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 1: If you told me right now, Clay, what are you 236 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: angrier about the fallout of twenty sixteen or what happened 237 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. By far, I am angrier about twenty twenty. 238 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 1: Now we're going all the way back to twenty sixteen. 239 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: But remember the FBI had Hunter Biden's laptop in their possession, 240 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: knew it was one hundred percent real, and yet allowed 241 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,320 Speaker 1: out the New York Post story to be treated as 242 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 1: if it were Russian disinformation. Now what they were smart about, 243 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: and they're smart about the way they see narratives. Man, 244 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 1: they already had put out there Russia wants Trump to win. 245 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 1: So twenty twenty, their protective cloak for anything that was 246 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 1: negative about Biden was what Buck, this is just Russia disinformation. 247 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 1: We're not going to let them hack twenty twenty like 248 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: they did twenty sixteen. They are just diabolical, man. Yeah, 249 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 1: And a part of it you have to step back 250 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: and just say, Man, the stories they tell and the 251 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: narratives they build are so compelling, and they act on them, 252 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: and they're nastier, and they're willing to do things frankly 253 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,199 Speaker 1: that I think in general Republicans are not. I think 254 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: that's the reality. Maybe Trump changes that now that is possible. 255 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 1: Maybe Trump decides the gloves are off. That could happen 256 00:13:55,440 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 1: hasn't happened yet with this kind of legal let's be honest, 257 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,839 Speaker 1: counter lawfare, that's really what we're talking about. 258 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 2: Counter lawfare. Maybe that changes, we shall see. 259 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,079 Speaker 1: You know, there's more than one name for people who 260 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 1: steal online identities and make money off of them. The 261 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: polite name is cyber thieves. Well, the less polite terms 262 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 1: you can think. 263 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,559 Speaker 2: Of what those are. Call them what you will. 264 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: These criminals crack into company databases and create phony identities 265 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: with the info they steal. These are the modern day 266 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: bank robbers. My friends, cops have a hard time finding them. 267 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 1: A lot of the time they're offshore.

Probably. 320 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think you guys are looking at this whole 321 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 6: Obama thing and Russia colusion the wrong way. They have 322 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 6: to be brought out in the daylight, whether there's consequences 323 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 6: or not. It's too easy for Democrats to do whatever 324 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 6: they want and know the Republicans will never retaliate. 325 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 5: Maybe they'll think twice in the future. 326 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 2: Well, that's what we've agreed. Poitical question. We actually agree 327 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 2: with you. 328 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,919 Speaker 1: We're saying yes, and you need this d and I 329 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: Gabbard needs to get this stuff out there. The people 330 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 1: need to know the truth. We're just saying that those 331 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 1: who are claiming that, you know, Barack Obama is going 332 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:39,439 Speaker 1: to go to prison over this or something, and there 333 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,639 Speaker 1: are people out there making those kinds of claims, I 334 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 1: think they're very likely to be wrong about that. Those 335 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,640 Speaker 1: are different things though, one hundred percent. And look, we're 336 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 1: widely and want this to be widely distributed, all of 337 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 1: it for the historic record. I think it's fabulously important. 338 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 1: But there's a difference between that and somebody being walked 339 00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 1: out in handcuffs, and we're trying to analyze that distinct 340 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,120 Speaker 1: between political and legal.

Clay, So I was going to do. 370 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,200 Speaker 2: Stock market new record highs. 371 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,400 Speaker 1: As you know, I pretty much check the stock market 372 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:35,200 Speaker 1: constantly during the course of of the day, and we're 373 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 1: at new all time highs because of very positive economic 374 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 1: news out there. I just think it's worth taking a 375 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 1: moment to review some of the Trump economic decisions from 376 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:51,439 Speaker 1: this past six months or so. Trump says we are 377 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: getting shafted by the trade deals that we currently have. 378 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 1: Everybody says, I say everybody in votes, but you know 379 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 1: what I mean, the consensus. The consensus, including a lot 380 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 1: of people in the right say oh, no, you can't 381 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: do this. It's gonna create trade wars, and there's going 382 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 1: to be a huge shop in the stock market, and 383 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:17,199 Speaker 1: all these terrible things will happen. There's a momentary blip, 384 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 1: if you will, in the stock market drops a bit, 385 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: comes back, roaring back, and now it's higher that it's 386 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 1: ever been. And on top of that, you've got some 387 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,160 Speaker 1: big trade deals that have gotten done that are going 388 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: to affect the economy, are going to do things that 389 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 1: I think will be really beneficial for the American people. 390 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 2: You know, Trump, there's a lot of talk around. 391 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: Some of these issues of let's say, transparency and fighting 392 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: back against the deep state, and that's all very important, 393 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 1: but let's not lose sight of the fact that a 394 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 1: fantastic Trump economy is one of the core promises. You know, 395 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 1: we voted for this, right, we voted for a fantastic economy. 396 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 1: And here you go, here he is announcing this has 397 00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,880 Speaker 1: cut seventeen. The trade deal that just got done with Japan, 398 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 1: obviously a major economic powerhouse play seventeen. 399 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 7: They just signed the largest trade deal in history, I 400 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:13,160 Speaker 7: think maybe the largest deal of history with Japan. And 401 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 7: that was done with Japan. 402 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:15,440 Speaker 2: They had the top. 403 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,400 Speaker 7: People here, and we worked on it long and hard, 404 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,959 Speaker 7: and it's a great deal for everybody. I always say 405 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,200 Speaker 7: it has to be great for everybody. It's a great deal. 406 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 7: A lot different from the deals in the past, I 407 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 7: can tell you that. But we're doing really well as 408 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 7: the country was strong, we have a lot of money 409 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 7: flowing in. The tariffs are kicked in better than anybody 410 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,199 Speaker 7: other than me, and a few of the people in 411 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 7: the room thought it could happen. 412 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:43,640 Speaker 1: So Clayton, it sets tariffs, reciprocal tariffs at fifteen percent, 413 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 1: five hundred and fifty billion dollars. Japan's going to invest 414 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:52,399 Speaker 1: in the United States auto tariffs on Tokyo fifteen percent. 415 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: Like I said, a few other parts of this that 416 00:21:56,080 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 1: you can look at more specifically, but basically, overall, like 417 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 1: a very good deal. Trump's certainly really excited about it, 418 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,399 Speaker 1: and I think it could have some positive impact on 419 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 1: the economy. In addition to this, one of the things 420 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 1: that the consensus kept saying was it's going to raise 421 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 1: your prices. And here's Scott Bessant, he was on MSNBC 422 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:19,880 Speaker 1: this morning. Is that where this clip is from Gus 423 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 1: Because I was actually watching this in real time I think, 424 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 1: did I just out that I was watching some Morning 425 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:24,640 Speaker 1: Joe this morning? 426 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 2: I think I would. 427 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 1: I think I just let that slip on the air. 428 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,639 Speaker 1: I was, I was, I'm sorry, it happens. It's a habit. 429 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,880 Speaker 1: It's hard to break that habit. Here it is nineteen 430 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 1: play Scott Bessant. 431 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 8: Who pays the terriffts is a choice, And what we've 432 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:43,439 Speaker 8: seen thus far is that the manufacturers are eating a 433 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:47,920 Speaker 8: substantial portion of the tariff and taking it into their 434 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 8: profit margins. So you might see, for instance, Toyota hasn't 435 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 8: raised prices and they may choose to go for market 436 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 8: share rather than raising prices. 437 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 2: Clay, all these things that a lot of people said 438 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,959 Speaker 2: that Trump was wrong on doesn't look wrong yet. 439 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 1: Also reports that we're close to a trade deal with 440 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,719 Speaker 1: the EU that would be very favorable to the United 441 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:20,440 Speaker 1: States as well. I think one of the great stories 442 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,159 Speaker 1: that just kind of slid under the radar was that 443 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: we actually had one of the first balanced budgets in 444 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: years in June, the month that just passed, and we're 445 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 1: on track to bring in hundreds of billions of dollars 446 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 1: in tariffs, and right now there appears to be zero 447 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 1: significant inflationary pressure related to it, and I saw a 448 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,120 Speaker 1: story this morning. Let me give you, let me give 449 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 1: a positive shout out again. Marjorie Taylor Green not gonna 450 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,919 Speaker 1: agree with everybody on everything, but she has introduced a 451 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 1: bill and team in New York. Make sure that I'm 452 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: getting this one hundred percent correct that would eliminate capital 453 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:04,119 Speaker 1: gains axes on the sell of your primary residence. One 454 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 1: of the big challenges that the Trump team has recognized 455 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,119 Speaker 1: is the housing market is completely frozen in many respects 456 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:15,200 Speaker 1: because Biden's economic stewardship took us from two and a 457 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 1: half three percent mortgages almost overnight to seven percent, a 458 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: rapid raise the likes of which we haven't seen in 459 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 1: a very long time. And I come back to it 460 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: all the time because I think it's foundational in the 461 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 1: economy right now that until rates back up to around 462 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 1: five percent, a lot of you out there, in fact, 463 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: you can flood my mentions right now, and let me know, 464 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 1: if you bought a home and you have a two 465 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 1: and a half percent mortgage rate out there, you're never 466 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 1: going to give it up, even if you've added kids, 467 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,400 Speaker 1: even if your kids have gone away to college, because 468 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 1: in order to sell your home, you have to pay 469 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,919 Speaker 1: capital gains tax and you would have to trade in 470 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,640 Speaker 1: potentially one low rate mortgage for a seven percent mortgage. 471 00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 1: And Marjorie Taylor Green, I think this is a really 472 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: good idea. They're talking about eliminating capital gains taxes on 473 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,640 Speaker 1: your primary residence. Let me give another shout out. Ron 474 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:08,679 Speaker 1: DeSantis is asking a question that I think is a 475 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 1: really good question. Why should you have to pay property 476 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,919 Speaker 1: taxes every year when you buy a home. It's a 477 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,640 Speaker 1: lot of our taxes are just embedded and nobody goes 478 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:19,359 Speaker 1: back and ever looks at them and says, boy, does 479 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: that really make sense? I mentioned yesterday on the program 480 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,879 Speaker 1: I do this show Monday to Friday. The government gets 481 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 1: every dollar I make Monday and Tuesday. I work for 482 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,120 Speaker 1: the United States government on Monday and Tuesday every day 483 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,360 Speaker 1: on this program. They get every dollar that I make. 484 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 1: And a lot of you out there, whatever you do 485 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 1: for a living, the government gets every dollar that you 486 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 1: make on Monday and Tuesday too. Does that make sense? 487 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 2: Like that? 488 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,399 Speaker 1: That's a lot I'm working really hard for the federal 489 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,879 Speaker 1: government out there to take all the money that I 490 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 1: make on Monday and Tuesday, all year round the rest 491 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,440 Speaker 1: of my life. And a lot of you are paying 492 00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:00,880 Speaker 1: fourteen percent state income taxes in California or New York 493 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: or Illinois, and a lot of you are paying huge 494 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 1: property tax bills such that over half of your money 495 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,680 Speaker 1: goes to the government every year. I think we need 496 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 1: to be dialing that back. The Trump tax cuts are helping, 497 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 1: but we've also embedded a huge percentage of this. And 498 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 1: if we could take away the capital gains tax on homes, 499 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: I think it would help to free the housing market 500 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 1: and make that more lubricated, easier to trade. There are 501 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:28,199 Speaker 1: some challenges in the housing market, and specifically homeownership and 502 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 1: first time homeowners and the barriers to homes to buying homes. 503 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 1: Four hundred and thirty five thousand dollars, according to the 504 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal, is the national median existing home price 505 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 1: four hundred and thirty five thousand dollars. Now, if you 506 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 1: look at the average household income, which I think in 507 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:56,400 Speaker 1: the US is was like six sixty I think it's 508 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,200 Speaker 1: up to like seventy seventy seven. I mean, again, household 509 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 1: how you define it, but it average household is about 510 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:02,959 Speaker 1: seventy seventy five K. 511 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 2: I think now. 512 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: But you look at seventy let's say, let's say seventy 513 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,359 Speaker 1: ish thousand dollars a year average household income, and you 514 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: look at a four hundred and thirty five thousand in 515 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 1: our medium price house with a interest rate of close 516 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:18,120 Speaker 1: to seven six six point six or something six point eight, 517 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 1: depends on your credit score obviously, and all that, it's 518 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 1: really tough to buy a home. It's really tough for 519 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 1: the average American right now to buy an for the 520 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,200 Speaker 1: average American family to buy an average priced American home 521 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,680 Speaker 1: is a big challenge. Stephen Moore, well known economist Wall 522 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 1: Street journal guy, friend of the Trump administration, he said 523 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 1: something about this that I think is getting some attention. 524 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 1: He's saying that there are a lot of boomers sitting 525 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 1: on very expensive housing that they should sell. I'm just 526 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 1: telling you what Steven Moore is saying is cut eighteen 527 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: eighteen play it. 528 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,200 Speaker 9: The one thing probably everybody at this table can agree 529 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,880 Speaker 9: on is we do have a housing problem in this country, 530 00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 9: and we need you know, especially for people like I 531 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,120 Speaker 9: have two so that are in their early thirties, that's 532 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 9: about the time when people start talking about buying a house. 533 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 2: They can't afford a house. 534 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,120 Speaker 9: Right now, housing is so expensive, so this is one 535 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 9: way you could maybe make housing more affordable, encourage older 536 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,160 Speaker 9: people to sell out. By the way, what I would 537 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 9: do is I would index capital gains for inflation. Somebody 538 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,359 Speaker 9: who bought a house in the seventies for one hundred thousand, 539 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 9: that house is probably worth what five hundred thousand dollars 540 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,160 Speaker 9: today and most of that gain was just due to inflation. 541 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,200 Speaker 9: So we want to encourage people to sell their homes 542 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 9: as they get older and free up housing for younger people. 543 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,679 Speaker 1: Okay, this is important, and I know it sounds like 544 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 1: we're going into some nerd talk here when it comes 545 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 1: to the economy, But I think Trump gets this. Housing 546 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 1: costs matters to everybody. I think Clay, I think everyone 547 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 1: sees this as a big challenge, a big concern if 548 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 1: you can. He said, index capital gains when you sell 549 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 1: your home. A lot of people because this is the reality, 550 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 1: and I'm sure some of you have thought through this. 551 00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 1: He mentioned, you buy a home in the nineteen seventies 552 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 1: for one hundred k. Let's say that house is worth 553 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 1: seven hundred k. Now, which is not crazy. You would 554 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 1: owe capital gains tax if you sold it on some 555 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:09,000 Speaker 1: of that. 556 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 2: Income in the middle. 557 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 1: I think there's a five hundred thousand dollars wipeout, right. 558 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 1: But so if you die, your heirs take the home 559 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 1: at the value that it is on that day. So 560 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 1: instead of having to pay capital gains tax, they take 561 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 1: it at Let's say that one hundred thousand dollars house 562 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 1: now worth seven hundred k. Your heirs take it at 563 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 1: seven hundred k. Well, you out there living in that 564 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 1: house might have thought, hey, you know what, it's time 565 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 1: to sell. But I don't want to have to give 566 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 1: the government capital gains tax on this. We should wipe 567 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 1: out capital gains on primary residents. 568 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 2: I think it. 569 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 1: Would drastically improve the overall housing market. I think that 570 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 1: people would buy and sell homes at more freely, and 571 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 1: I think it's a no brainer. I give credit to 572 00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 1: Marjorie Taylor Green. I think it would help a lot 573 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 1: of people. And by the way, we also need to 574 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 1: get mortgage rates back down to around five percent. I 575 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 1: was looking at my mentions right after I said that, 576 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 1: a bunch of you reached out, sent me messages, hopped 577 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 1: in and said, Clay, you just nailed me. I got 578 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 1: a two and a half percent mortgage. I just had 579 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 1: another kid. Hey, my kid just left for college. Your 580 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 1: family circumstances changed. I need to be in a new 581 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 1: school district. I can't afford to sell my home potentially 582 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 1: pay capital gains tax on it and take on a 583 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 1: seven percent mortgage. It's broken the housing market. The best 584 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 1: thing we can do for the economy is fix it. 585 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 1: This is where Trump is right about the Jerome Powell. 586 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,239 Speaker 1: We need to bring back down rates and start to 587 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 1: balance out that crazy increase that we saw from around 588 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 1: two and a half percent to seven. 589 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 2: Or the other option is to. 590 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 1: I'm actually in favor of this in a lot of ways, 591 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 1: especially in a lot of cities or in an expensive 592 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 1: suburbs around cities, you go for multi generational housing setup 593 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 1: where if you have the space, you know, you get 594 00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 1: the grandparents living with the parents living with the kids, 595 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,479 Speaker 1: or you know, if you can. It depends on how 596 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 1: much base we're talking about here. That's very common in 597 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 1: some places in Europe now. Europe is far less wealthy 598 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 1: per capita than America is, which I think people often 599 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 1: forget about. Their fancy baguettes and espressos do not make 600 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 1: up for the fact that Americans are far wealthier on 601 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 1: average than all you really, all major European countries. I 602 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 1: should say, you know, if you have these players don't 603 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,400 Speaker 1: have air conditioning. This was an article in the Wall 604 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,959 Speaker 1: Street Journal this morning that how hot it is they 605 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 1: don't even have air conditioning. Yeah, well, now did you 606 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 1: see there's they're trying to say. It's something about there's 607 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 1: a like a thermal shock, but cold shock from air 608 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: conditioning is bad for you. 609 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 2: They're trying to say, yeah, fifteen different. I'm like, we 610 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:44,520 Speaker 2: don't even want your stupid air conditioning. Not necessary for us. 611 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 1: No, no, no, Jacques, I'm sorry, you want the air conditioning? 612 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 1: My man, take the beret off. Let the air conditioning flow. 613 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,160 Speaker 1: I don't hear very many Southerners who say, you know what, 614 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,480 Speaker 1: it's one hundred degrees outside in July and August. You 615 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 1: know what I'd really like, I'd like to feel it 616 00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 1: inside of my home. No, I'll take the I'll take 617 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,680 Speaker 1: the air conditioning. I would argue air conditioning. Where does 618 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 1: air is a good question? Is the fun debate You're 619 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 1: about to go off on vacation. We could save this sometime. 620 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:14,560 Speaker 1: Where does air conditioning rank on greatest inventions of all time? 621 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,840 Speaker 1: Just in terms of improving the overall quality of life. 622 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 1: You wouldn't live in Miami if air conditioning didn't exist, 623 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 1: zero percent chance, zero change. Well, this is why it wasn't. 624 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:30,960 Speaker 1: Miami wasn't a year round town until pretty recently. Yes, right, 625 00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 1: I mean it's kind of really post World War Two. 626 00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 1: Before that, it was a place where people would go, 627 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,040 Speaker 1: uh in the winter time. South, the whole South was 628 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 1: revolutionized by air conditioning because otherwise it was too brutal. 629 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 1: I know, everybody's like climate change, climate change. Yeah, talk 630 00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,080 Speaker 1: to your my parents, talk about how hot it was 631 00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,200 Speaker 1: in the summer and you have to sleep outside in Tennessee. 632 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 2: You know it was. It didn't cool off very much. 633 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,960 Speaker 1: Trump administration is working hard to make our economy grow. 634 00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 1: We're just talking about it. Great things are happening, but 635 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,720 Speaker 1: you still have to make the right choice. Is for 636 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 1: you as an individual and your wealth and your family 637 00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,760 Speaker 1: and the hard earned dollars that you are accumulating. Is 638 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,360 Speaker 1: where gold comes in. Gold just makes sense. Look at 639 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,800 Speaker 1: gold up forty percent in the past year, and you 640 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:14,920 Speaker 1: just check that for yourself. Look at gold over the 641 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,479 Speaker 1: last ten years. You'll notice something, right, Gold maintains value 642 00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 1: and grows in value historically over time. With thirty seven 643 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,760 Speaker 1: trillion dollars a debt still accumulating, guess what you're gonna 644 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,240 Speaker 1: have inflation. It's going to eat away at your savings. 645 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 1: A portion of what you have in gold just makes sense. 646 00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,320 Speaker 1: And here's another idea for you.

Listen, truth be told. 686 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,320 Speaker 10: Able to come up with anything redeeming about mister Coberger 687 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 10: because his grotesque acts of evil have buried and hidden 688 00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 10: anything that might have been good ortrinsically human about him. 689 00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,680 Speaker 10: His actions have made him the worst of the worst. 690 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:56,440 Speaker 10: Even in pleading guilty, he's giving nothing hinting of remorse 691 00:35:56,680 --> 00:36:01,839 Speaker 10: or redemption, nothing suggesting even a record or understanding, let 692 00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,759 Speaker 10: alone regret for the pain that he has caused. And 693 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,560 Speaker 10: therefore I will not attempt to speak about him further 694 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,319 Speaker 10: other than to simply sentence him so that he is 695 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,920 Speaker 10: forever removed from civilized society. 696 00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,319 Speaker 1: We'll talk about this maybe a little bit in the 697 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:19,120 Speaker 1: third hour, because I think the decision to allow him 698 00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,200 Speaker 1: to plead guilty and avoid the death penalty might make sense. 699 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:26,279 Speaker 1: I don't agree with the decision to not require him 700 00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,480 Speaker 1: to explain in full detail why he did what he 701 00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:33,279 Speaker 1: did and tell the family so they can have some 702 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:37,080 Speaker 1: form of peace exactly what went down.
