WEBVTT - The Old Liberal Playbook is Back - June 6th, Hour 1 0:00:00.760 --> 0:00:02.840 All right, thank you Scott Shannon, and thanks to all 0:00:02.840 --> 0:00:05.160 of you for being with us. A right down hour 0:00:05.400 --> 0:00:08.319 toll free telephone number of you want to be a 0:00:08.440 --> 0:00:10.479 part of the program, it's eight hundred and ninety four 0:00:10.600 --> 0:00:14.280 one Sean if you'd like to join us. What is 0:00:14.360 --> 0:00:18.000 like one of the things that drive you nuts about 0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:20.680 your kids when you're raising your kids. 0:00:21.520 --> 0:00:23.320 I mean, every kid's gonna do dumb stuff. 0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:26.480 I mean, if we made a list of dumb things 0:00:26.560 --> 0:00:29.520 kids can do, and I could pretty much check every 0:00:29.520 --> 0:00:35.720 item on that list, I guarantee you, and it's just infuriating, 0:00:35.840 --> 0:00:38.760 Like it's usually the cover up and I'll get to 0:00:38.800 --> 0:00:42.279 that later in the program. That that's where the trouble is. 0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:45.640 I mean, the issue about Joe's cognitive decline is one thing. 0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:49.199 The fact that everyone's lying and they covered up and 0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:52.760 God only knows who is making the decision is where 0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:57.760 the real controversy is in all of this. And you know, 0:00:57.840 --> 0:01:01.000 the President kind of opened the door saying, yeah, there 0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:03.920 are people here that know all about the auto pen 0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:06.800 and they were here when Joe was here. You get 0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:09.440 one honest person that says Joe Biden didn't have a 0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:13.679 clue about what they were doing and what they were 0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:16.960 having signed in his name. I mean, you have the 0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:21.360 biggest presidential White House scandal in the history of the country. 0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:24.520 But we got to have one honest person. Your kids, 0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:27.039 you know, do something wrong, they say, well, why did 0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:29.440 you eat the cookie? I used this example all the time. 0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:32.120 You see cookie all over the face. The kids come 0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:34.319 to you, can I have a cookie? No, you can't 0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:37.840 have cookie. You gotta eat your dinner. Please, please, pretty 0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:40.400 please please. I used to hate it when my kids 0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:43.240 would do that. Please please. The more they would say please, 0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:46.679 I'd say, every time you say it, your odds go 0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:51.040 down exponentially. And I used to say, well, my kids 0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:54.600 would light to me in please stopped insulting my intelligence. 0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:57.400 Please, Just you're not good at it. You know. 0:01:57.480 --> 0:02:00.600 Kids are never good at line. So they'd go behind 0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:02.640 your back even though you said no, and they'd have 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:04.760 the cookie and the cookie be all over their face, 0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:07.320 and you'd say, did you eat the cookie? Did you 0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:08.200 eat those cookies? 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:09.040 No? 0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:12.240 I didn't touch the cookie. Meanwhile, the cookies all over 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:16.320 their face. I'm more mad that they lied about eating 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:19.680 the cookie instead of owning it. I says, yeah, I 0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:21.880 know you said no. I shouldn't have done it. I 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:25.560 couldn't resist this. Whatever the answer is, it's better than no. 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:27.959 I didn't eat the cookie with cookie all over their face. 0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:33.600 And it's the lie. And that's what infuriates me now, Democrats. 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:37.320 I have pointed this out forever, and we see it 0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:41.440 every election season, and I go through the laundry list 0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:44.560 of the cards that they're going to play their playbook. 0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:55.119 Republicans are racist, they're sexist, they misogynistic, they're homophobic, xenophobic, islamophobic, transphobic, 0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:56.680 a lot of phobia there. 0:02:57.440 --> 0:02:58.519 They want dirty. 0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:01.880 Air and water, and they want grandma and grandpa to 0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:05.200 be put in a wheelchair after years of eating only 0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:09.200 dog and cat food and some you know, prominent Republican 0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:11.880 throwing him off a cliff. I'm sure now that commercial 0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:14.560 would probably have a Donald Trump look alike in it, 0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:20.400 and they just, you know, Democrats lie and let me 0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:25.200 play for you. Democrats their new talking point, and that is, 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:31.200 you know, we're all going to die. Act Chuckie Schumer, 0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:35.320 this is his brainchild, and he's talking about the big 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:38.760 beautiful bill. And then I'll give you the facts and 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:41.760 explain the magnitude of the lie that he's telling. 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:47.160 We're All going to Die bill, and that shows the callousness, 0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:53.480 the callousness of this Republican majority in the House and 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:56.800 the Republican majority in the Senate. And the reality is 0:03:56.840 --> 0:03:59.640 because of his House Republican bill, if it were to pass, 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:04.119 and because on law, people will die. 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:07.080 People are going to die. It's a going We're all 0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:10.120 going to die act. Oh, we actually are all going 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:13.720 to die. And those of us that believe, we believe 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:20.080 in an afterlife, Heaven, Paradise and Jesus in my case, 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:23.560 and I believe that that's where you end up. That's 0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:27.000 a different story for a different day. There's no We're 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:30.640 going to All Die Act. And this is what infuriates me. 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:36.640 There are no cuts, and we've experienced this big lie 0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:41.520 because it's part of the playbook that Republicans are racist, sexist, misogynists, homophobics, 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:42.720 and in public, the whole list. 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:45.240 It's all part of it, and that is. 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:49.360 They're going to cut Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid. 0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:54.000 And it's not true. Just the opposite is true. I mean, 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:58.719 the scary part of all of this is Medicaid, for example, 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:03.200 has grown by nearly fifty percent in the last five years. 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:11.279 And we've got to address the problem of entitlements and waste, fraud, abuse, mismanagement, 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:15.440 and moneies that have come out of control. You know, 0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:19.160 Medicare for example, I mean, it's it's it's one example 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:22.440 is it's designed for poor people. 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:23.920 You're Medicare. 0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:27.120 They're gonna pay you three times what a provider would 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:27.960 pay to medicaid. 0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:29.720 How insane is that? 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:32.920 It's sort of like we create in America eighty percent 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:36.839 of medicines and drugs that save lives and help blood 0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:42.600 pressure and demote therapy drugs and blood pressure medicines and 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:46.880 all sorts of medicines we create. I know, people like 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:49.320 to talk about the evils a big farmer. Big farmers 0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:51.400 not completely evil. They do a lot of good things. 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:56.040 And then also the government lies to us. Dan Bongino's 0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:59.440 pretty clear that there's direct evidence that they knew damn 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:01.680 well that this shot should not have been given to 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:04.919 every American and they didn't care, and they forced it 0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:09.159 into us anyway. And that is infuriating to me because 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:11.479 they're playing with our lives in the process, and there's 0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:15.480 been a lot of fallout from it that is very underreported. 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:17.440 We report on it on this program. 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:20.320 You know, instances of young people that never they were 0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:23.960 never susceptible or at risk of dying if they were healthy, 0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:26.839 and now as a result had taken the jab and 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:32.800 the shot. You know, instances of myocarditis and other complications 0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:36.720 have kicked in in a major way. This is unconscionable. 0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:37.800 Now. 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:41.359 I remember when new Gingrich was Speaker, and I remember 0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:47.400 when Bill Clinton tried to push Hillary Claire through as 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:52.080 the healthcare of the land. It didn't pass, and he 0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:57.080 was he got just walloped in the midterm elections. And 0:06:57.160 --> 0:07:00.000 in nineteen ninety four, two years after he became president, 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:04.040 was elected president. Then Nuke Gingrich became the Speaker of 0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:07.599 the House and for the first time in forty years, 0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:10.600 Republicans had the majority in the House of Representatives. Can 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:14.520 you imagine forty years of democratic rule. By the way, 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:16.680 there is a model to learn from here, and that 0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:21.840 is the FDR model. When you become so transformational, it 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:24.960 can your power can go on for decades. And I 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:26.800 think that's a direct result of that. But that's a 0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:29.760 different story for a different day. And if Donald Trump 0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:33.560 completes the task of reforming the Republican Party into the 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:36.880 party of hard working men and women by saying no 0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:40.480 tax on tips, no tax on overtime, the largest tax 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:45.119 cut in American history. And then of course bringing manufacturing 0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:49.160 jobs that Obama and Biden and so many other Democrats 0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:52.200 claimed would never be coming back, but doing it on 0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:56.240 steroids and human growth hormone. And we're going to bring 0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:59.640 back auto manufacturing, high paying career jobs for working men 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:02.720 and women and the people that make this country great. 0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:07.280 Then we're going to bring in house pharmaceutical manufacturing in 0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:10.080 this country that's good for national security. We can't rely 0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:12.880 on China or any other country for medicines that we 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:16.800 desperately need. That in most cases we created ourselves, or 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:19.880 the idea that we create these medicines and we invest 0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:23.280 the money for the medicines. And then these socialized countries 0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:25.600 that you know, whether it's the NIH in Great Britain 0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:29.160 or the single payer system in Canada, you know, they 0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:31.920 just limit what they're going to pay for any medicine. 0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:35.560 So even though we created it, they get the medicines 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:37.880 cheaper than we do, which is why President Trump came 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:40.240 up with Now we're going to have most favored nation 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:43.960 pricing for our citizens. First, considering eighty percent of those 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:47.720 medicines are made here. It's crazy, you know, it's just insane. 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:52.160 But anyway, when Nu King Rich and and Bill Clinton 0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:55.960 had to adapt if he wanted any chance at a reelection, 0:08:57.000 --> 0:09:00.880 and so he had to partner with new Gingrich to 0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:03.360 his credit, and he said things like, the era of 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:05.440 big government is over. The under welfare as we know 0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:10.080 it now. The argument then was that Republicans would reduce 0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:15.720 the double digit projected rate of growth Medicaid, Medicare, et 0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:21.800 cetera entitlements, and they would reduce it the rate of growth, 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:27.120 meaning increasing spending to seven percent a year every single 0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:30.520 year for seven years, and that it would result in 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:34.400 a balance budget. And as a result of implementing that, 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:37.640 they balance the budget four or five years in a 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:40.080 row of where the total is. And the budget has 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:44.160 not been balanced ever since. Right now, we have seen 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:48.679 a fifty percent increase in the last five years for Medicare. 0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:53.320 Now Medicare pays three times what Medicaid does. And you 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:55.400 know this is supposed to be for poor people. Now 0:09:55.440 --> 0:10:01.000 we're also finding widespread fraud. Democrats are saying, you know, 0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:04.360 they're giving out their their little talking point and they 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:08.000 think that they're clever and it is from their old playbook. 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:11.720 You know that we're all going to die. But what 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:14.640 is what are they actually saying. They're saying that claiming 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:17.800 that people will die. Well, let me give you the 0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:21.240 facts so you have them over the next ten years. 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:25.600 Over the well, first, over the past five years, federal 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:30.120 spending has exploded, and you know we're now thirty seven 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:33.760 trillion dollars in debt. Okay, Now, Donald Trump, whenever you 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:37.000 cut taxes, revenues in the case of Reagan, doubled to 0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:40.280 the federal government. And lo and behold, we had the 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:43.160 longest period of peacetime economic growth. Twenty one million new 0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:46.040 jobs were created. So we're going to bring in more money. 0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:49.480 The ten trillion in investments with companies and countries in 0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:53.760 this country for manufacturing, that's going to bring in massive 0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:56.000 amounts of revenues to the federal government that I don't 0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:58.280 think the CBO or anybody else is projecting at this 0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:01.360 point in time. That will help us if Jerome Powell 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:05.000 would get off his ass and stop being political, especially 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:08.400 in light of the pretty incredible job numbers that came 0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:11.800 out today, and I think he should be cutting interest 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:14.480 rates a full basis point the rest of the world 0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:17.800 is doing it. We're at inflation a two point one 0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:21.199 percent that their goal number was two point zero percent, 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:24.640 and him playing politics is not helping the economy because 0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:28.640 that would result in more investment and more jobs created 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:31.679 and more revenues to the federal government. But you know, 0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:35.400 we have under this bill, Medicaid is one of the 0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:41.400 fastest growing government programs. Medicaid is now projected according to 0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:45.560 the CBO, it's showing in the next ten years, seventy 0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:51.200 eight percent growth, Medicare sixty five percent growth, Social Security 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:55.960 seventy three percent growth. Now, that's why it's imperative that 0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:59.560 we get these things right now. Can they get everything 0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:03.440 done this one big beautiful bill. They actually can't because 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:08.440 the reconciliation process, for example, they're only focused on mandatory spending, 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:12.240 and changes to social security can be part of reconciliation. 0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:15.280 A lot of people don't know about these arcane rules 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:18.440 and they have to work within that framework. Medicare has 0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:21.240 been untouched in the in the House and Senate proposals 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:26.960 and Medicaid reforms, you know, like work requirements. As I 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:31.320 told you yesterday, you have people able bodied dealing with 0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:36.840 the you know, provider you know, scams are sources of 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:41.080 legitimate savings without reducing benefits to the people that actually needed. 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:45.040 Medicaid spending has grown by nearly fifty percent in five years. 0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:49.199 We cannot sustain that level of growth. We can't improve 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:52.400 the bill in terms of cost savings. And we'll talk 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:54.240 to Lindsey Graham at the top of the hour, but 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:56.480 one of the main things we've got, I'm just tired 0:12:56.520 --> 0:12:59.800 of Democrats lying to us. There is no cuts to 0:12:59.880 --> 0:13:04.560 me Medicaid, no cuts to medicare, no cuts to social Security. 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:07.720 We are getting the largest tax cut in the history 0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:10.839 of the country. It will include no tax on tips 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:15.840 or over time. We do have ten trillion dollars in investment. 0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:20.160 We have opened up energy so that we can become 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:24.079 an energy dominant country again, more high paying career jobs 0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:27.560 for Americans. We have stopped the flow of illegal immigrants, 0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:29.200 and we see it in the job numbers, and the 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:32.560 job numbers are very clear that these are our jobs 0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:35.600 that Americans are taking. Previously, under Biden of his jobs 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:38.040 for people that were in the country illegally or people 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:42.640 from foreign countries. But we got to start somewhere, and 0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:44.760 I think if you start with the largest tax cut 0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:49.360 in history. Conservative, no tax on tips, no tax on overtime. 0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:51.760 You know what we're looking out for, hard working men 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:55.520 and women. Eliminating waste, fraud and abuse of medicaid and 0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:58.880 having a work requirement I think is a good thing 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:04.479 as well. And then doge looking for ways and will continue. 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:07.080 They'll get to the spat with Elon Musk in a minute. 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:09.640 Then we're at a point where we can actually help 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:13.040 the country. And notice Democrats never talk about the fact 0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:16.560 that they're stealing from our children and our grandchildren. I 0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:19.680 don't mention that fact a right twenty five until the 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:22.360 top of the ARCA. You know, I think Pail is 0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:25.840 tired of trying to do this giar me phalo on purpose, 0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:28.960 because every night now he's calling me, Hey, what do 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:29.760 you think of this bit? 0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:32.120 What do you think of this? Adding this to the routine? 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:33.400 What do you think if I do this? What do 0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:33.600 you think? 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:36.960 I'm like, Oh, are you just trying to intimidate me? 0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:39.480 Are you just trying to show off? Are you just 0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:42.360 trying to make me feel like, uh, oh, I am 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:46.280 going to be inadequate in all that. No, I'm gonna 0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:48.800 work hard and we have a great show we have 0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:52.240 two great shows planned. They're back to back. And if 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:54.320 you're in clear Water, if you're in Tampa, if you're 0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:58.240 in Sarasota, Fort Myers, if you're in the Panhandle Orlando, 0:14:58.320 --> 0:14:59.360 we hope you'll come join us. 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:00.480 In c Water. 0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:04.040 It's a Ruth Eckert Hall Saturday, June twenty eighth, that's 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:08.680 going into the holiday week. Perfect time to come.

If we should have all of Atlantic Avenue 0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:22.440 co we should probably do one on Atlantic Avenue in 0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:25.920 Delray Beach. It's a great place, and that would also 0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:27.760 include you know, all the way up to Palm Beach, 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:29.840 West Palm Beach. You can make the run. We're going 0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:32.240 to be at the Broward Center for Performing Arts.

And uh, we're I'm really excited 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:42.680 about it's gonna be This is not gonna be your 0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:48.080 average shelf, just not. It's not gonna be woke, it's 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:52.840 not gonna be politically correct, it's gonna be pretty irreverent, 0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:55.640 and there's a lot to make fun of and also 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:58.280 a lot to talk about, and that's why it's punched 0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:01.560 lines on patriots. Anyway, So Teyla calls me every night, 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:03.000 What do you think of this routine? 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:06.320 What do you think of that routine? It's having me crazy? Anyway. 0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:09.160 Twenty five now till the top of the hour, and 0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:12.040 I want to remind you of friends in Israel. They're struggling, 0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:15.400 they're surrounded by enemies, they are fighting for their very survival. 0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:20.160 I met with the IFCJ this week. Wonderful people. They've 0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:24.240 been on the ground for decades, but ever since October seventh, 0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:29.800 twenty twenty three, I mean they have. They are providing everything, 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:33.400 so much humanitarian assistance. You have tens and tens of 0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:38.360 thousands of Israelis they need everything, food and water and 0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:41.280 medicine and shelter and clothing. 0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:42.280 They need it all. 0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:46.480 They're also providing security measures like flack jackets and these 0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:52.400 mobile bomb shelters, and they're doing wherever they see a need, 0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:55.600 they are trying to fill it. They can't do any 0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:59.600 of this without your kindness and your generosity, and that's 0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:03.640 why they fight radical Islamic terrorists that surround them, that 0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:06.720 want to destroy them, and their stated goal is to 0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:10.760 destroy them. And as they defend their country and their 0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:13.920 liberty and their freedom, you know, we need they need 0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:16.399 our help. Whatever you can donate is going to be 0:17:16.440 --> 0:17:19.520 so greatly appreciated. They have a toll free number. It's 0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:21.600 eight eight eight four eight eight I f c J 0:17:21.840 --> 0:17:24.720 eight eight A four eight eight I f CJ. On 0:17:24.800 --> 0:17:27.840 the web, it's I f CJ dot org. That's if 0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:31.320 CJ dot org today, and you'll be doing good. I look, 0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:35.159 I understand. I guess maybe it's because people know that 0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:38.080 I know both people really well. I've known Donald Trump 0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:41.640 longer than Elon Musk. I'm gonna be very clear. 0:17:41.680 --> 0:17:46.400 I like Elon Musk. I do. The guy is a genius. 0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:48.359 There's no other way to put it. 0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:53.320 I am grateful for all the contributions that he is 0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:58.040 made to President Trump. He absolutely played a role and 0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:01.080 going out there and put his neck on the line 0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:05.520 and helping elected guy. I do like the fact that 0:18:05.920 --> 0:18:09.640 DOGE was created and they've saved hundreds of billions of dollars, 0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:14.480 and that that that process is going to be ongoing. 0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:17.920 We need to root out waste, fraud, abuse and corruption. 0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:23.040 I am grateful that he rescued those astronauts that were 0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:27.119 abandoned by Joe Biden. I am grateful, you know, for 0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:30.000 the other work that he does. I think he's got 0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:33.480 the greatest engineered car in the history of a man in Tesla. 0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:37.520 And you know what is he experience for all of 0:18:37.560 --> 0:18:40.240 this because he was associated which he's paid a deep price, 0:18:41.320 --> 0:18:45.520 a very deep price, and it's sad. And you know, 0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:49.200 I'm very, very supportive of the fact that, yes, Starlink, 0:18:49.840 --> 0:18:53.960 that he's launches satellite communications satellites. He's been very generous 0:18:54.000 --> 0:18:57.000 to the people of North Carolina and Tennessee and the 0:18:57.080 --> 0:19:01.800 people of the Pacific Palisades. They needed communication help and 0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:06.320 assistance and he provided Starlink stations for them. And then 0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:11.040 of course his work with Neuralink definitely is dazzling, giving 0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:14.280 hope that maybe one day, but with the use of 0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:17.919 artificial intelligence, will help the blind to see and people 0:19:17.960 --> 0:19:22.399 with spinal cord injuries walk. And I also accept that 0:19:23.240 --> 0:19:27.680 I don't know, I've always been interested most interested in 0:19:28.400 --> 0:19:33.960 people that are kind of nonconformist or not your average person. 0:19:34.680 --> 0:19:38.760 And Elon just isn't that guy most people don't wake 0:19:38.880 --> 0:19:42.960 up thinking about space every day. Now, you know, it 0:19:43.720 --> 0:19:46.240 sounds like it's not gonna sound right when it comes out, 0:19:46.280 --> 0:19:50.560 but I think you'll understand what I mean. With such genius, 0:19:51.000 --> 0:19:55.400 you know, which is a blessing, you know, oftentimes there's 0:19:55.200 --> 0:20:00.120 the curse side of it, and I think probably Elon has, 0:20:00.840 --> 0:20:04.720 you know, if a little bit of that in terms 0:20:04.760 --> 0:20:08.280 of his personality. I mean, it was a week ago today, 0:20:08.320 --> 0:20:12.840 these guys were praising each other. It's funny, and that might, 0:20:13.080 --> 0:20:15.119 you know, make him go, you know, shoot off the 0:20:15.119 --> 0:20:17.480 handle or get angry or whatever it happens to be. 0:20:18.000 --> 0:20:20.480 That's why I'm not taking it as seriously as everybody 0:20:20.480 --> 0:20:22.840 else seems to be taking it or caring that much 0:20:23.040 --> 0:20:26.879 about it, because I you know, we all know President Trump. 0:20:27.280 --> 0:20:32.160 He's the president, he's duly elected. It's his agenda. He's 0:20:32.200 --> 0:20:36.160 got to make the ultimate decision. I mean, I wouldn't. 0:20:36.240 --> 0:20:41.359 It's it's very hard to be a president. And he's 0:20:41.440 --> 0:20:47.119 got an incredible problems that he has inherited. The disaster 0:20:47.240 --> 0:20:50.280 at our border that he fixed, he's already fixed that part. 0:20:50.840 --> 0:20:54.680 He's in the process of fixing our economy, and he's 0:20:54.720 --> 0:20:58.720 doing it by by getting ten trillion in commitments for 0:20:59.160 --> 0:21:03.280 manufacturing this country. He's doing it through energy dominance, He's 0:21:03.280 --> 0:21:06.280 doing it through the largest tax cuts in history. He's 0:21:06.520 --> 0:21:09.119 doing it by helping working men and women with no 0:21:09.320 --> 0:21:14.359 tax on tips or overtime. And he also understands the 0:21:14.400 --> 0:21:18.439 need that that we've we've got to work towards getting 0:21:18.480 --> 0:21:21.719 our budget and balance. That's the whole purpose of DOGE. 0:21:22.080 --> 0:21:26.320 And so, you know, a one day, you know, kind 0:21:26.359 --> 0:21:30.280 of back and forth fight between the most powerful man 0:21:30.320 --> 0:21:32.080 in the world and the richest man in the world. 0:21:32.160 --> 0:21:35.359 I'm sorry, I'm kind of non plus fire to be 0:21:35.480 --> 0:21:39.520 very honest. It just really doesn't mean that much to me. 0:21:39.560 --> 0:21:43.119 And it seems like that's, oh, what about this fight, Henny, 0:21:43.200 --> 0:21:47.840 what are you gonna do? You get nothing. The answer is, 0:21:48.680 --> 0:21:51.200 you know, every day of my life. I fought when 0:21:51.240 --> 0:21:54.040 I was when I was a kid. You know, it 0:21:54.080 --> 0:21:57.120 didn't matter what sport we were playing. It didn't man, 0:21:57.200 --> 0:22:00.119 we fought hard. We were playing hockey. He was in 0:22:00.200 --> 0:22:02.040 a single time I can think of I ever played 0:22:02.040 --> 0:22:05.440 hockey where the gloves didn't get dropped and we didn't 0:22:05.440 --> 0:22:08.040 start throwing punches as hard as we can, and we 0:22:08.040 --> 0:22:09.639 were pissed off at the time, and that we were 0:22:09.680 --> 0:22:12.080 throwing them. I can't think of a single time we 0:22:12.080 --> 0:22:16.879 didn't do that, And I think it's just unrealistic to 0:22:17.080 --> 0:22:21.520 expect people that are, you know, used to being in 0:22:21.600 --> 0:22:27.080 charge and getting their way and admitting, like they did 0:22:27.160 --> 0:22:31.200 a week ago, that they only that they don't agree 0:22:31.240 --> 0:22:33.800 on everything, they agree about it on eighty percent of things, 0:22:34.280 --> 0:22:35.920 that they might have a fight. 0:22:36.960 --> 0:22:40.360 I mean, my hope for both of them is because. 0:22:41.960 --> 0:22:44.800 There was somebody that wrote on Twitter our x rather 0:22:45.760 --> 0:22:51.879 that I think it's you two work better together than separately, 0:22:53.119 --> 0:22:58.040 and Elon wrote, yeah, I think you're right. I mean, 0:22:58.119 --> 0:23:01.240 after all that, after all all that was said and done, 0:23:01.880 --> 0:23:04.480 I mean, that's how it ended, and nobody in the 0:23:04.480 --> 0:23:07.040 media seems to care about that part. That's why I'm 0:23:07.080 --> 0:23:09.800 thinking I'm a little bit more helpful hopeful than maybe 0:23:09.800 --> 0:23:12.359 the average person. What we'll see over time, I hope. So, 0:23:13.960 --> 0:23:17.840 but you can recognize, you know, some of the you know, 0:23:17.920 --> 0:23:21.719 Donald Trump is a fighter, Elon Musk is a fighter. 0:23:22.440 --> 0:23:25.200 All right, So two guys getting along now they're having 0:23:25.200 --> 0:23:28.760 a fight, big deal. Not the first fight I've seen 0:23:28.800 --> 0:23:30.600 in my life, not the first fight I've been involved 0:23:30.600 --> 0:23:34.600 in my life. Lights don't bother me. What I am 0:23:34.680 --> 0:23:38.359 worried about is Iran. Wall Street Journal pointing out it 0:23:38.400 --> 0:23:44.080 looks like Iran is now planning for this possible attack 0:23:44.119 --> 0:23:46.119 on the nuclear facilities, and it looks like they have 0:23:46.280 --> 0:23:49.280 planned B. And this was in the Wall Street Journal, 0:23:49.520 --> 0:23:51.920
