1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,880 Speaker 1: Welcome everybody, Tuesday edition of Play and Buck and it's 2 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:09,559 Speaker 1: one hundred days of Trump into this second term. One 3 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:15,000 Speaker 1: hundred days of Trump, absolutely fantastic stuff to talk about here. 4 00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,759 Speaker 1: We will dive into all of the latest with the 5 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,120 Speaker 1: Trump administration, but also take a look at what has 6 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 1: gone on so far. It has been transformative, it has 7 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,320 Speaker 1: been fast and furious, and it is just the beginning. 8 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,240 Speaker 1: So we want to take a moment year to see 9 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 1: how it has been and will be on Trump two 10 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 1: point zero and we'll take your calls on this obviously 11 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: and have a free flowing conversation about the wins and 12 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: the challenges left to be tackled. We've also got JD Vance, 13 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,239 Speaker 1: Vice President Advance. Clay and I both will have to 14 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 1: try not to call him JD because we've known him 15 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: as JD for years, but now he is vice president 16 00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 1: of Vance. 17 00:00:58,840 --> 00:00:59,639 Speaker 2: He will be with us. 18 00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 1: We did an interview with him second hour of the program, 19 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,960 Speaker 1: so definitely want to tune in talking about all the 20 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 1: big stuff going on right now, everything from men and 21 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: women in sports, to tariffs to the border to Trump 22 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: two point zero, So definitely second hour diving into that, 23 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 1: looking forward to that conversation for all of you, and 24 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: we have more to look at here on the sports 25 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: side of things. Play The Philadelphia Eagles went to the 26 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: White House, which is very nice. They had a nice time. 27 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: From what I understand, the Canadian election didn't exactly go 28 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 1: the way we wanted to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, 29 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,759 Speaker 1: we won't spend too much time on this because well, 30 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: very few of you live in Canada, so not really 31 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 1: our problem. There are some we have some Canadian listeners, 32 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: but generally I don't know anything about Canadian politics. We 33 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: talked some about Pierre Polyev because he had a couple 34 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: of viral videos, but once Trump won, I gotta be 35 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: honest with you, my interest in what happened in America's 36 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 1: top hat really kind of vanished. I feel bad for 37 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: Canadians stuck behind enemy lines, but we're kind of rolling here, 38 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 1: so it's hard for me to get too worked up 39 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 1: about what happens in Canada. I think that's probably the 40 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: general perspective. But we do have empathy for those of 41 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: you a that are stuck above the border dealing with chaos, 42 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 1: and they say leadership. They didn't learn the lessons of 43 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:36,079 Speaker 1: Trudeau painfully enough. This is what you see in microcosm 44 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: in places well, actually I think California has more people 45 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 1: than Canada. But this is what you see in places 46 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 1: like California, where even when there's tremendous mismanagement, you have 47 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: Democrats who double and triple down on the madness. Well, 48 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: the liberals, the leftists in Canada doubling and tripling down 49 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: on the madness. They want everything to be dysfunctional. They 50 00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: want to have sky high housing prices and a mnemic 51 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: economy and all these things. Okay, they want to have 52 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 1: bad healthcare that they tell themselves is great because it's free. 53 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: But actually it's not free at all. It's very expensive 54 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: when you add the time and the cost and the 55 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 1: inability to get care. But like I said, Canada not 56 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: our problem. Not going to be the fifty first state either. 57 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 2: So who cares? 58 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,359 Speaker 1: Well, we care a little bit, but we don't care 59 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: that much. Now, one hundred days of Trump and some 60 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 1: exciting things going on. 61 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 2: Let's take it first too. 62 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: This cut to Caroline Levitt talking about what the some 63 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,119 Speaker 1: of the top line numbers are for this first one 64 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: hundred days of Trump. Two point zero play it so far. 65 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 3: Total investment commitments under the Trump administration have reached more 66 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 3: than five trillion dollars, including five hundred billion from Apple 67 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 3: and US based manufacturing and training, five hundred billion from 68 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 3: Navidia and AI infrastructure, one hundred billion from TSMC and 69 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 3: us BA chips manufacturing, and the five hundred billion dollar 70 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 3: private investment by Open Ai, Oracle SoftBank, and AI Infrastructure 71 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 3: as well. All of these investment commitments are estimated to 72 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 3: generate at least four hundred and fifty one thousand new 73 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 3: high paying jobs for American workers and families. At this point, 74 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 3: President Trump has secured more investments in the United States 75 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 3: of America in one hundred days than Joe Biden did 76 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 3: in four years. 77 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: Trump is a deal maker, as we know, Clay, and 78 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: we'll talk more about Tariff's last JD vance about that too. 79 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 1: But in terms of the economy being open for business 80 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: in this country, and particularly look at things like going 81 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: to maximize trying to maximize energy production, going after our 82 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: own resources, a lot to be proud of so far 83 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 1: in one hundred days, totally, And some people are going 84 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: to say because the negative, given that we're at a 85 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: one hundred day is going to be Hey, let's look 86 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: at the polling numbers. Here's what I would say about 87 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: the polls. First of all, I don't really care, and 88 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: you might say, Okay, what do you mean by that? 89 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: Trump is not going to be eligible to run for reelection? 90 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 1: So I suspect that by the time Trump's term is 91 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: coming near an end, that he will be on a 92 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: popularity upswing, like we saw with Barack Obama and with 93 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: Bill Clinton. By and large, did you sign on to this, 94 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: Buck that the only two two term presidents that could 95 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: have been reelected if they had been able to run 96 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: would have been Bill Clinton in two thousand and Barack Obama, 97 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: I think would have won in two thousand and sixteen, 98 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,279 Speaker 1: now maybe not. I also think Ronald Reagan, if he 99 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: had been able to run in nineteen eighty eight, even 100 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: with his advanced age, would have likely won two. I 101 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: think Trump will be at his peak popularity. Here's a 102 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: three year in advance prediction. Trump in the fall of 103 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight will be at peak popularity because the 104 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: impact of his trade agreements and of his economic policies 105 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,840 Speaker 1: will be flourishing at a high level. I think we 106 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: will have peace, and I think that if Trump were 107 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: eligible to run for a third term, that he would 108 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: win again in twenty twenty eight. I think it very 109 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: attory early a lot of we can't test the thesis 110 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: one way or the other. 111 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 2: I mean, I think Bill Clinton. 112 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: Is incredibly lucky as a politician, the luck that that 113 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: guy had on a whole range of things. But if 114 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 1: he had been in office when nine to eleven actually happened, 115 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: the straight line between him being an imbecile on foreign 116 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 1: policy and missing every chance and US getting hit with 117 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: the worst attacks in Pearl Harbor would have been irrefutable, 118 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:53,160 Speaker 1: even for Democrats. 119 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 2: Also, the stock market crash also a. 120 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,839 Speaker 1: Lot of things this guy got out, But justin you 121 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 1: disagree that he would have one. 122 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:04,039 Speaker 2: I think he would have beaten George W. Bush. I 123 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 2: don't know. I don't know. 124 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: I think he would have won. I think Reagan would 125 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: have won an eighty eight. This is an argument in 126 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: favor Regan. Reagan would have been too Reagan would have 127 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 1: been too old at that point. That would have been 128 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: a problem for him. I think he would have won 129 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: because the only reason that George Bush Senior one was 130 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: because Reagan was so beloved, and obviously Ducacas was not 131 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: a candidate. You don't think Ronald Reagan would have beaten 132 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 1: Ducacas in eighty eight. Even Reagan, he would have won. You, 133 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: I mean, if you're throwing in the mix, like who 134 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: he's going up against? You know, Barack Obama though running 135 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 1: Barack Obama runing against Donald Trump. Actually don't think Barack 136 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 1: Obama would have won. I think Trump, I think I 137 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: think I think he would have won that election. I 138 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: think that Obama would have beaten Trump in sixteen. Well 139 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: remember not You and I disagree vociferously on remember Hillary. 140 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: First of all, I don't think Trump would have been 141 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: the nominee necessarily, but Hillary came within whatever it was 142 00:07:56,120 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: eighty that Hillary was an awful candidate, right, awful candidate 143 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: she was. I mean even Democrats looking back, they're like, man, 144 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 1: you know she just I don't know who she would 145 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: have been able to beat. I think Trump was a 146 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: great candidate against her. Ran a phenomenal campaign. But I 147 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: actually think the best campaign Trump ran was twenty four. 148 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: Of his three election campaigns, sixteen was phenomenal. I think 149 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: he was so well schooled by twenty four. Sixteen was 150 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: more haphazard. I think that this one was great. Again, 151 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 1: We're sixteen was was insurgency. He was the insurgency against 152 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 1: the machine, and just like happened sometimes in real life, 153 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: the insurgency overcame the superior force in terms of battlefield operations. 154 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: And then in twenty four it was the comeback campaign, 155 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: so the Great American Comeback, which so the narratives I 156 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: think were pretty clear in both of those. And then 157 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 1: twenty twenty was the COVID you know, freak show what 158 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 1: the hell is going on? Campaign for everybody, and I 159 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 1: know all the other stuff quote unquote shenanigans. We won't 160 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: talk about it right now, but anyway, Clay, I think 161 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: that Trump's first one hundred days, here's what we have 162 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: to remember about it. We wanted him to do the 163 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: things we want him to do, the things that he 164 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: promised to do, and some of those things are disruptive, 165 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: and disruptive things can be a little bit off putting 166 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: sometimes to the markets. It can feel a little bit 167 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: you can create a little bit of anxiety among people 168 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,199 Speaker 1: because oh wait, it's not exactly status quo is comfortable. 169 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 1: This is why so often, and particularly in politics, I 170 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,079 Speaker 1: think people get into inertia. Well, this is the way 171 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: it is, so, this is the way it will be. 172 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: This is the way we've done things, so let's keep 173 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 1: doing it that way. Trump isn't running again. I know 174 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 1: he jokes about the third term. That's the troll Libs. 175 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 1: It's like the fifty first state Canada. That's the troll, 176 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: you know, Canada and Trudeau and the rest of them. Clay, 177 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: he's not running again. We need him to do the 178 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: things that a politician who's obsessed with his next election 179 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: won't do. 180 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 2: Yes, And this is what is so key. 181 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 1: That's why I'm saying the polling I'm not focused on 182 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 1: if he were trying to run for reelection. I think 183 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 1: you'll look at polling and you think about how that's 184 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: going to play out. He is uniquely liberated to do 185 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: what he thinks the right results are without having to 186 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: worry about the day to day polling. And by the way, 187 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 1: that is potentially going to run out in twenty twenty six, 188 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: when they're likely going to impeach Trump again. If Democrats 189 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: take back control of the House, they don't have anything 190 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 1: new to hit him with, so expect for them to 191 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: go back to the tried and true, failed methods of 192 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 1: the past. We've already seen it with them trying to 193 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: broadcast and attack him by saying he's hitler. I think 194 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 1: where we are likely headed is Trump has got to 195 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,439 Speaker 1: get everything done between now and the summer of twenty 196 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,839 Speaker 1: twenty six, and then we will see the House come 197 00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: down to five or six different really close races, and 198 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 1: Democrats are either going to have a tiny minority or 199 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:09,200 Speaker 1: Republicans are going to have a tiny majority. Right, tiny leadership. 200 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: I think that we're going to see in the Senate 201 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: good stuff. Republicans are going to maintain control of the Senate. 202 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: So for judges things like that, Trump is going to 203 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 1: have four years to get his view of the judiciary through, 204 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 1: get as many different judges confirmed. But in order to 205 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 1: have both control of the House and the Senate, he's 206 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 1: got to be fast. He's got to be decisive, and 207 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: I think that's what you're seeing right now, and sometimes 208 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 1: that's going to make people a little bit upset. So 209 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 1: that's why I'm not concerned about any of the polling 210 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 1: to the extent it's accurate as we sit here at 211 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,439 Speaker 1: one hundred days, because he's making decisions that are multi 212 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 1: years in nature. Well, yes, and this is why I 213 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 1: want Trump to not care about the polls right now, 214 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: because the polls in a year as they pertain to 215 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 1: the midterms and the Republican Party in its future, will matter. 216 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 1: The polls right now do not matter at all. In fact, 217 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 1: all the polls really do is give a talking point 218 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: to anti Trump media and the Democrat Party that want 219 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 1: to create a perception of Oh, this isn't working, Oh 220 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 1: this is failing. Trump should not be doing the things 221 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 1: that he's doing. He's doing what he promised to do 222 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 1: when he ran. He said he would take on the 223 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: terriff issue. He said he would get a peace deal 224 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: between Russia and Ukraine. He said he'd secure the border. 225 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 1: You know, I could go down the whole list. He's 226 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: doing the things he said he would do. Some of 227 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: these things are, as we've said, a departure from the 228 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,079 Speaker 1: status quo. They are disruptive and so clay by their 229 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: very nature, they're going to create. 230 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,559 Speaker 2: A little bit of friction and a little bit of uncertainty. 231 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: If you don't want that, you don't want change, you 232 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: don't want someone to fix anything. You just want more 233 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: of the same. I think we all need to remember 234 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 1: that the first one hundred days has been a plus. 235 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 2: Overall. It's not perfect. 236 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,839 Speaker 1: Nothing ever will be and there's no certainties, there's no 237 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: guarantees in life. But he's doing what he said he 238 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: would do, and he I think he should have our 239 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: full support as he continues to pursue that mandate. If 240 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: he had veered off into nonsense, I'd be saying, why 241 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: did he veer off into nonsense? 242 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 2: That's not what has happened. 243 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 1: I also think, and we'll talk about this more, the 244 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: next one hundred days or so are set up to 245 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: be incredibly consequential. Hopefully we get some form of resolution 246 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 1: in Ukraine, more resolution in Gaza, and again inflation, which 247 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 1: to me, I'll hit you when we come back, Buck 248 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 1: with what the American public from an economic perspective is 249 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 1: most focused on, and inflation is at four year lows. 250 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,319 Speaker 1: To me, that is the number one laser focus. After 251 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 1: Biden took us over nine percent, people still feel like 252 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 1: things cost more than they should. Tomorrow, evening Israel begins 253 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: celebrating their own Independence Day seventy seventh anniversary. Is a 254 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: nation and like our Independence Day, it should be a celebration. 255 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: But this year, once again, it's going to be tense. 256 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: For the majority of people living in Israel. Freedom nothing 257 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 1: more than a daily struggle just to survive. There's no 258 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 1: real peace, only hesitation and fear of when another missile 259 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: attack might arrive. It's difficult to find moments of joy 260 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: when there is so much danger and suffering out there. 261 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: The Israeli government appreciates the International Fellowship of Christians and 262 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: Jews because they're helping to make sure the elderly, the sick, 263 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 1: the wounded soldiers and impoverished families they don't fall through 264 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: the cracks. I saw all the work that the Fellowship 265 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: does when I was in Israel during December. We can provide, 266 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 1: thanks to you guys, life saving a medicine, hearty meals 267 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 1: safety and comfort.

I 299 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 1: think we were talking. Also, they had flooding issues with 300 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: the birthplace of Davy Crockett. We also wanted to get 301 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 1: our coffee potentially in there to help those guys as well, 302 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 1: so you can help us continue to grow a great 303 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 1: American coffee company that loves American history. 304 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 2: Buck. 305 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 1: I've got a poll that is up right now, and 306 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: you guys can go vote in that asking what letter 307 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 1: grade would you give President Trump on the first one 308 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 1: hundred days. Twenty seven thousand people have voted so far, 309 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 1: and nearly eighty percent seventy nine percent of you have 310 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,439 Speaker 1: given an A or a B to the first one 311 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:16,679 Speaker 1: hundred days of the Trump administration. I would give them 312 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 1: an A. You said you would give them an A plus. 313 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 1: I think you can. You can break it down by 314 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: subject matter, the board, if you're really if. 315 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:26,399 Speaker 2: You're really going to hold me to this, Yeah, the 316 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 2: border clue is in A plus. 317 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,439 Speaker 1: Look, I would say A as well, just because you've 318 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,440 Speaker 1: always got to leave some room for improvement and nothing 319 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 1: is perfect. But yeah, I give them an A. I 320 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: give the first hundred days of Trump in twenty sixteen 321 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 1: a B. And I went the time year much messier, 322 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 1: the personnel issues it was not. You know, look, he 323 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 1: was new. 324 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 2: He would have been. 325 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,440 Speaker 1: I don't think Trump would even say that what he 326 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,120 Speaker 1: knew that wasn't his a game, So I would say 327 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: it was a b And I think you can break 328 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,440 Speaker 1: it down on different subject matters, as our friend Bill 329 00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 1: O'Reilly has said, and we'll do that as we can 330 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 1: you during the course of the program. We don't throw 331 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 1: around the term sovereign wealth fund very often, but funds 332 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 1: of this type do exist. Ten states have one set up. 333 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 1: In fact, the fund takes the net proceeds of a 334 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 1: natural resource that's been sold and distributes the money to residents. Now, 335 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 1: imagine that there's such a set up nationwide within our country, 336 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,880 Speaker 1: harnessing the value of one of our nation's greatest assets. 337 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 1: Up until now, it's never happened. In our nation's case. 338 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 1: There are more than a few very well informed people 339 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 1: who believe that our nation has an asset worth one 340 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,959 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty trillion dollars buried on American soil and 341 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,160 Speaker 1: could be the basis for creating such a fund. This endowment, 342 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,359 Speaker 1: so to speak, could pay off our national debt four 343 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 1: times over. So why has it been kept secret for 344 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: so long? Thanks to a Supreme Court decision, President Trump 345 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 1: could soon release it to the public. To hear more 346 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 1: about this from Jim Rickard's former advisor of the White 347 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 1: House and the FED, go to Birthright twenty twenty five 348 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 1: dot com. That's Birthright twenty twenty five dot com to 349 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,359 Speaker 1: get the details free of charge, paid for by Paradigm Press. 350 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 1: All right, welcome back into Clay and office. A reminder, 351 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 1: we've got Vice President JD Vance at the top of 352 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 1: the next hour, so you definitely. 353 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 2: Want to stick around for that. Man. 354 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 1: I remember when I was I was telling Clay this morning. 355 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,919 Speaker 1: I remember when I was texting JD good luck and 356 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 1: then congrats when he won his Senate seat, which I 357 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 1: don't think was a big surprise, but it was certainly 358 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 1: he was a political newcomer, and from that to Vice 359 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 1: President has been quite a speedy process. So an incredible story, 360 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 1: and I think JD's personal story, his life story, is 361 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,679 Speaker 1: something that should be celebrated by all Americans because it 362 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 1: really is the American dream. 363 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 5: Right. 364 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: You can come from a difficult you could argue a 365 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 1: very much disadvantaged upbringing. If you've read Hillbilly elogy, as 366 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: Clay and I have, you certainly see that, and then 367 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,640 Speaker 1: you become a wealthy venture capitalist with a beautiful family 368 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 1: who is the vice President of the United States, not 369 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 1: because of who mom and dad are, not because of 370 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 1: any you know, any superficial character, just from ability hard work. 371 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 1: We'll talk to him about Ohio State Yale law, which 372 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,120 Speaker 1: is a pretty big part of both of that that 373 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 1: resume of success. And yet to your point, he was 374 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 1: in a really difficult Republican primary that for people who 375 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:22,360 Speaker 1: have forgotten how that race went. Until Donald Trump endorsed him, 376 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 1: it was unclear who was going to be the victor 377 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: in that primary and ended up pretting pretty close even 378 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,920 Speaker 1: even with the endorsement. Isn't it an amazing you think 379 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 1: about some of these I'm weaving. I feel like I 380 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 1: have to start giving that like a like a warning 381 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 1: before I'm weaving. But isn't it an amazing how the 382 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: stories of American success that are celebrated. When you really 383 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 1: start to pick this apart, you can see how obviously partisans, 384 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,880 Speaker 1: so much of this is jd. Vance is attacked by 385 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 1: people now who don't like him or don't support him 386 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 1: as a fat cat venture capitalists, you know, in with 387 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: Trump and and you know friend of Peter Teele and 388 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,879 Speaker 1: all this stuff, and you go, this kid had a 389 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 1: drug addicted mother and beat all of the odds. But 390 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 1: I just I want to point out, I mean, you 391 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: look at someone like, uh, Justice Thomas. 392 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,639 Speaker 2: For example, Justice Thomas. 393 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 1: Grew up speaking a dialect from the islands off of Georgia. 394 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 1: Some of you, I forget what it's called. Some of 395 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 1: you are Gulla. Thank you, Gulla speaking Gulla and had 396 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 1: a dirt floor in his house and is now a 397 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,399 Speaker 1: I mean they obviously the left disagrees a giant of 398 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,640 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court. You want to talk about coming from 399 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,360 Speaker 1: humble beginnings, right, I mean you can do. But notice 400 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,919 Speaker 1: if you if you are a constitutionalist, a conservative, you 401 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,679 Speaker 1: know your stories and then they tell us, Oh, Obama, 402 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:55,920 Speaker 1: for example, look at look at Obama's personal story. Grew 403 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,680 Speaker 1: up in Hawaii and was kind of like waved into 404 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 1: Harvard and made the he said, there you go. I 405 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: don't know, I mean, I don't think it's as impressive 406 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,199 Speaker 1: as some of these other guys. But all the you know, 407 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,920 Speaker 1: dreams from my father and all this stuff, like it's 408 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,920 Speaker 1: just all partisan to them, right, the great American success 409 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 1: story doesn't count if you were on the right. That's 410 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,880 Speaker 1: essentially my thesis here and for everybody who's connected to him. 411 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 1: I mentioned this earlier, but it should I have not 412 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 1: read this piece. Maybe there is somebody who has written it, 413 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 1: and if so, you can tag me. I would love 414 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,640 Speaker 1: to read it. He and his wife just toured India. 415 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 1: I believe they have three kids. His wife is an 416 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: incredibly accomplished woman too. She went to Yelle Law School. 417 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 1: My understanding is that's where they met. They went to India. 418 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:45,679 Speaker 1: She is an immigrant, her family are legal immigrants. And 419 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: there was almost nothing written about the fact that he 420 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 1: took his wife as vice president on a state visit 421 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:58,400 Speaker 1: to India and the connection that that likely inspired. 422 00:22:58,440 --> 00:22:59,440 Speaker 2: Can you imagine, buck? 423 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,199 Speaker 1: Just think if if you're an Indian kid and you 424 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 1: suddenly are looking around and the vice president is touring 425 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 1: your country and his wife has family that is all 426 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: from India. India is now the most populous country in 427 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,200 Speaker 1: the world. Right, I believe it has past China and 428 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 1: is now the most populous country in the world. Can 429 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 1: you imagine the cultural connection that that likely created. Jade 430 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 1: Vance half Indian kids, half white kids, and nobody's even 431 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 1: mentioned it, right, I mean, if he were a Democrat 432 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:34,360 Speaker 1: and he was taking his wife, who was an Indian 433 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 1: immigrant back her family and they were visiting that country. 434 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: It would have been the lead story for the entire 435 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: trip that they were there. Almost no one even mentioned it, 436 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 1: and yet it feels to me like a compelling part 437 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,199 Speaker 1: of his and his family story as well. We have 438 00:23:53,320 --> 00:24:00,439 Speaker 1: had two biracial vice presidents, as we know, Kamala Harris 439 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,880 Speaker 1: the most most recent, But do you remember the first 440 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: one all the time, the first biracial president, vice president 441 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 1: vice president. Yes, TikTok TikTok Clay. This is a very tough. 442 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:14,679 Speaker 1: This is very tough. This is not this is not 443 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 1: an easy one. I no, I don't even know Charles Curtis. 444 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: Under Herbert Hoover. He was a member of the Call 445 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: Nation in the so he's Native America. He's partially like 446 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 1: half Native American. Essentially, Is this like Elizabeth Warren Native American? 447 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,959 Speaker 1: Or are we confident? I don't want to throw him 448 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:40,399 Speaker 1: under the bus here, no officially recognized member of the tribe. 449 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:44,880 Speaker 1: I don't think anybody not like one fourth Native American 450 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: like I am. 451 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 2: I'm sure you are too. 452 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 1: I am Elizabeth Warren and I did not get to 453 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 1: check that box to get into Harvard, much to my chagrin. 454 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 1: But yeah, so the Charles Curtis fun fun trivia for 455 00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 1: all of you. Here the thirty first vice president the 456 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:01,919 Speaker 1: United States. It's under Herbert Hoover. He is the first 457 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 1: biracial vice president. Kamala Harris is the second biracial vice president. 458 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:06,880 Speaker 2: But JD. 459 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 1: Vance's family is biracial, which is what makes me think 460 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,399 Speaker 1: of this which you never hear, and he. 461 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,439 Speaker 2: And they just India. Are you with me? 462 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 1: That feels like it was kind of a compelling thing. 463 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 1: There's a billion people in that country. I imagine it 464 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:24,119 Speaker 1: was a big story. There almost no blip here. The 465 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,440 Speaker 1: more the US can have. India is a multi confessional, 466 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,919 Speaker 1: you know, multi multi ethic, to say, multi lingual. It's 467 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,119 Speaker 1: just I think there's three hundred plus languages or some 468 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 1: crazy number of languages spoken there. 469 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 2: But India is a is a. 470 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 1: Multi religious, multi racial democracy that we absolutely want to 471 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 1: have as good a relationship with as we can. Because 472 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,879 Speaker 1: if you want to talk about somebody that can hem 473 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:55,719 Speaker 1: in you know, boxing Chinese aggression and ambition, you know, 474 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,640 Speaker 1: India plays a very important role of this. Now, of course, 475 00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: India and Pakistan, as I've mentioned on the show or 476 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: at each other. There's throats right now. This is I 477 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,880 Speaker 1: saw this yesterday. I couldn't believe that it was real, 478 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,360 Speaker 1: but it is real. At that terror attack that happened 479 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 1: where it's KASHMIRI separatists on behalf of Pakistan. I know 480 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 1: Pakistan says they're not, but they are. Okay, Pakistan, consume me. 481 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,440 Speaker 1: They had a terror attack killed twenty six people. There's 482 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 1: a guy on a zipline. I check this out. This 483 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 1: seems to be real, Clay. It looked like it was 484 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 1: an AI video at first. A guy on a zipline 485 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 1: in this area of Kashmir. He is going on the 486 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 1: zip line and he is videoing it himself like almost 487 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,400 Speaker 1: like a selfie video. And there are people falling from 488 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 1: being shot below him in the terror attack in real time. 489 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 1: It is a gut punch video. I mean, it is crazy. 490 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 1: But India and Pakistan are at each other's throats right 491 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:52,919 Speaker 1: now in a way that look it'll probably be a 492 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:54,120 Speaker 1: limited military incursion. 493 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:55,880 Speaker 2: I don't think it's going to escalate to nuclear war. 494 00:26:56,040 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 1: But when you have two countries with deep antagony against 495 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:04,399 Speaker 1: each other, that share a border, that have territorial disputes, 496 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:09,439 Speaker 1: that have long standing you know, violence issues between the 497 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 1: anyway that this could this could escalate, this could become 498 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,919 Speaker 1: a real problem, all right. I thought that Charles Curtis 499 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 1: though trivia question for all of you would be it 500 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 1: would be an I never I don't think I've ever 501 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 1: heard that. 502 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 2: Well, you know that's what you know what I mean, 503 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 2: that's the Buckster likes to keep you on your. 504 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,159 Speaker 1: Toes man, you know, just just sitting here, sitting here 505 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 1: dropping civil war knowledge all the time. We got to 506 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:33,159 Speaker 1: bring you into the Herbert Hoover administration a little bit. Okay, 507 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 1: now let's get back to uh. Does anyone remember anything 508 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,120 Speaker 1: about Herbert Hoover, by the way other than womp wamp 509 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 1: not the damn and womp womp the economy. I will 510 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:47,399 Speaker 1: say I've visited Stanford, the Hoover Institute, very positive like 511 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 1: what he did at that university where he is in 512 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 1: a lum. I didn't remember the connection there, but they 513 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 1: have a you've been a guest right at the Hoover 514 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 1: Institute that I was a camp a media a media 515 00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 1: fellow for a week at Hoover Institute. Hoover is a 516 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,639 Speaker 1: great play with some fantastic scholars. So yes, thank you 517 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,640 Speaker 1: for reminding me of that. I don't want to see 518 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 1: him ungrateful to the Hoover Institute. But who for the 519 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 1: presidency had some issues. Okay, let's talk about this presidency again. 520 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:16,119 Speaker 1: The weaving is done. Scott Bessant. He is a guy 521 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 1: who I think a lot of people who are focused 522 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:21,320 Speaker 1: on the markets in the economy are happy is involved 523 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 1: in this administration. This guy knows this stuff at a 524 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 1: high level. He is very People within the industry recognize 525 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 1: he is very smart. And here he is saying a 526 00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,200 Speaker 1: few things. First of all, let's get to the Chinese tariffs. 527 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:39,200 Speaker 1: Actually first, this is cut four Scott Bessant, talking in 528 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 1: advance of the one hundred day anniversary hit it. 529 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 5: I think that over time we will see that the 530 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 5: Chinese terrorists are unsustainable for China. I saw I've seen 531 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 5: some very large numbers over the past few days the show. 532 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 5: If these numbers stay on, Chinese could lose ten million 533 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 5: jobs very quickly, and even if there is a drop 534 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 5: in the tariffs that they could lose five million jobs. 535 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 5: So remember that we are the deficit country. They sell 536 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 5: almost five times more goods to us than we sell 537 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 5: to them, So the onus will be on them to 538 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 5: the take off these tariffs. They're unsustainable for them. 539 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 1: Bestin is saying they're going to have to blink on 540 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,960 Speaker 1: this one, and I you know, look, Trump is a brawler, 541 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 1: and maybe he gets a little ahead of his skis sometimes. 542 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 1: But when Trump and best and are aligned on something, 543 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 1: I think people can feel pretty confident that we have 544 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 1: the upper hand here well, and I think they're going 545 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 1: to be smart about the way they start to roll 546 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 1: out these tariff agreements with a lot of countries that 547 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 1: we have good relationships with, whether it's Japan, we just 548 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 1: had the Italian president Maloney, I believe, come and visit. 549 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 1: That feels very likely England is going to happen quickly. 550 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 1: A lot of these deals are going to be I think, 551 00:29:55,880 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: hammered out very rapidly. And then we're going to you see, 552 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 1: who has a higher basic, basic willingness to have a 553 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 1: little bit of pain, And again it should be China 554 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:14,400 Speaker 1: having way more pain than us because they rely on 555 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 1: exporting goods to the United States way more than the 556 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:23,480 Speaker 1: United States relies on exporting goods to China. And we'll 557 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,840 Speaker 1: talk about this with the Vice President because one of 558 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:31,240 Speaker 1: the challenges about US China trade policy is the fact 559 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 1: that we have a situation where China produces materials that 560 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 1: we have to have rare earth, minerals, variety of different aspects. 561 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:42,960 Speaker 1: It's one thing to choose whether or not you want 562 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 1: to buy a cheap pair of pants on a fashion 563 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,480 Speaker 1: app from China or not. Most people are going to 564 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 1: be fine with that. But China thinks they have us 565 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:56,160 Speaker 1: over necessary goods that they create. So that's going to 566 00:30:56,240 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 1: create another aspect of this battle. But really China is 567 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 1: the one that has a lot more to lose here, 568 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 1: and so will they blink, well, we get a more 569 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 1: rapid resolution than maybe some anticipate. I think that's likely. 570 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 1: I think also Trump has shown that part of the 571 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 1: strategy here is to isolate China and to make everybody 572 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 1: take a moment, take a beat. I'm talking about the 573 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 1: rest of the world are allied countries and look at 574 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 1: what China is really doing and understand this is not 575 00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:32,680 Speaker 1: the status quo. Is not okay, right, That's what people 576 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:36,960 Speaker 1: The problem with the free trader mantra here is they 577 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,200 Speaker 1: act like we have free trade. Why is Trump messing 578 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 1: it up with China? And we absolutely do not have 579 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 1: free trade with China at all. We have a one 580 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 1: way trade war. We have China waging trade war against us, 581 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 1: and all the IP theft and intellectual property theft and 582 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 1: all of the ways that they rig the system to 583 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,240 Speaker 1: get mac some benefit for China. 584 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:02,440 Speaker 2: There's no such thing other way. 585 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 1: This is just true of the Chinese Communist Party in general, 586 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,320 Speaker 1: and this is the way their economy functions. Clay, There's 587 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 1: no such thing as fair. China doesn't care about fair 588 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 1: or honest or this is the way it is. It's 589 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:18,720 Speaker 1: what benefits China. So we've been lulled into this false 590 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:20,720 Speaker 1: sense of like, well, they're doing it their way, we're 591 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,080 Speaker 1: doing it our way, and everything is fine. No, the 592 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 1: status quo is not good for us over the long run, 593 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,520 Speaker 1: and addressing that requires a little bit of growing pains, 594 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 1: no doubt, just as we thought it was. In fact, Clay, 595 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 1: wouldn't it be weird if we try to do this 596 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 1: with China? And there were no reactions in the markets, 597 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 1: and there was no sense of oh gosh, we're doing something. 598 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 1: You know, if you're not going to take risk, you're not. 599 00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:43,120 Speaker 2: Going to get reward. 600 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 1: Well, yes, and this is also what I said about 601 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 1: Trump not making decisions based on the short term because 602 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 1: he's not focused on re election right now, which is 603 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 1: why I'm not very concerned with what the immediate reaction is. 604 00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 1: In the larger marketplace, the president president's running for reelection, 605 00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,320 Speaker 1: you sit there and you say, oh boy, let's figure 606 00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 1: out how exactly this is going to play out right now. 607 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 1: I think Trump is playing the long game, and he 608 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 1: can afford to play the long game because he doesn't 609 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,160 Speaker 1: have to worry about being reelected. I think he's making 610 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:17,920 Speaker 1: decisions that he believes are important for decades to come. 611 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:19,880 Speaker 2: Look playoff action right now. 612 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 1: Heating up in the NBA and the NHL and Major 613 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 1: League Baseball.

I think there's still a lot 657 00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:59,480 Speaker 1: of anger over what things cost as a result of 658 00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:03,360 Speaker 1: the inflation that Biden put in place, and that, to 659 00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:07,120 Speaker 1: me is still the number one economic focus in most 660 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,760 Speaker 1: of the conversations I see, and I think it's reflected 661 00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,719 Speaker 1: in what the data shows.
