That's the guy I 77 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: was telling you about yesterday that you know, he's credited 78 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: with generating six thousand plus manufacturing jobs in Mississippi's Golden Triangle. 79 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 1: You know, when you kind of add in the truckers 80 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: and and those people that do transport of steel, and 81 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: the helicopters and and all the associated businesses, the restaurants, 82 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:46,679 Speaker 1: the stores, the walmarts, the targets, the grocery stores.

This was in 84 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 1: a very depressed part of the country, and this guy 85 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: is doing on a smaller scale what Trump is now 86 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: trying to do on a big scale. And what he's 87 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 1: done is he was able to convince local politicians. He 88 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: would fly around in a helicopter around the Golden Triangle 89 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: in Mississippi. He'd looked down and he said, Oh, there's 90 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: a good place to put a manufacturing center. There's a 91 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: good place to build a steel mill. Uh, there's a 92 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: good place to build a tire mill, a tire manufacturing center. 93 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: There's a good place to build uh engines, there's a 94 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 1: good place to build a drone plant. And he'd go 95 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: and build the roads, put the sewers in, and then 96 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: he would go fight for the jobs and incentivize the 97 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: companies and say, see, we've got everything built out for you. 98 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,159 Speaker 1: Why don't you come here and all the labor you 99 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: could ever want. And he was able to end up 100 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: getting one of the big tire companies to go there, 101 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: one of the big helicopter building companies to go there, 102 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: a steel mill to go there, an engine building company, 103 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: and a drone building company, and people that were once 104 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: out of work, you know. At the steel mill, in particular, 105 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 1: the average wages eighty thousand dollars a year. They interviewed 106 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: this one one young man working at the steel mill, 107 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: and he was trained to do the job. And this 108 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,479 Speaker 1: guy said, he's now making more than twice what he 109 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: used to make. He's got a bigger house, more property, 110 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 1: and nice car, and his kids go to better schools. Well, 111 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 1: that's kind of like the rungs of the ladder that 112 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: he keep telling you about that we want to put 113 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 1: in there. You know, winning elections isn't just about being 114 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: able to say it's it's what good is it if 115 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: we don't improve the lives of the American people. And 116 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: that's why I'm so disgusted with Washington Republicans and Democrats, 117 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: because they always want to do things the wrong way. 118 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: And here you got this guy, a former coach, Joe 119 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 1: Maxie likes to call himself uh. And he's out there 120 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 1: and and he's thinking outside the box. He's getting government 121 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:43,359 Speaker 1: government to partner with him in a smart way, incentivizing 122 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,480 Speaker 1: companies with the attitude, if we can make them money, 123 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: they're gonna create jobs for the people that live in 124 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: our town and our cities in our area. And those 125 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: people are gonna be happy and they'll have a better 126 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: future than they had before these manufacturing plans came in here. 127 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,719 Speaker 1: Do you realize we have lost and so Obama has 128 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 1: been president over a million, over a million manufacturing jobs gone. 129 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: You want to know why Donald Trump won, this is it. 130 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: He picked up the phone to carrier. He picked up 131 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: the phone, He got a surprise visit working behind the 132 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: scenes with the president of the CEO of soft Bank. 133 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: Fifty billion, fifty thousand jobs. That's not bad. It's a 134 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 1: good start. Now, if we can duplicate all of these 135 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: models on a grand scale. Well, you know, for example, 136 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: the the one company that he was able to bring in, Pacar, 137 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: truck maker um Pacar used to build engines only in Europe. 138 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: Well now they're building them in the Golden Triangle. You know, 139 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: the helicopter plant, Now they're there. You know, steel mills 140 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: used to be all over the rust belt Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin. 141 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: These states sound familiar to you. Well, those are the 142 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: people Hannity was talking about day in and day out 143 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: last year. Those are the real lives, the real people 144 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: in real poverty, on real food stamps, that can't get 145 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: a job, that can't buy a house, that can advance 146 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: whoa handedy You called this forgotten men election. Well, that 147 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: that's what we're talking about. You know what bothers me. 148 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 1: I was reading in Bright part today all right, radical 149 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: news site, right part, which isn't true, but that's the 150 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: way the left wants to project it GOP leadership to 151 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 1: delay Donald Trump's election winning priorities. This scared me today. 152 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 1: Now between this, you know, I'm thinking about this guy 153 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: who will talk to at the top of the next hour, 154 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: Joe Max, And I'm thinking about, all right, well, look 155 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,559 Speaker 1: at what he did in the Golden Triangle, And I'm thinking, well, 156 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: they're talking about Democrats are loving it. Any time you 157 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: talk about spending government money. They love it because that 158 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: means they get to hang onto their power base, and 159 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: that means they get to bring bacon back to their 160 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,079 Speaker 1: individual districts, and then they go out to brag to 161 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: their can it tuants look at what I did, and 162 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: basically all it is is bringing money back. And it's 163 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 1: like a big grand pay to play scheme. And I'm thinking, 164 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 1: if you're gonna spend a trillion dollars Paul Ryan was 165 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 1: on sixty minutes to we never explained how he's gonna 166 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 1: pay for it. How are we gonna pay for a 167 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,959 Speaker 1: trillion dollars in infrastructure without going further into debt. Well, 168 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: one of the ways you do it is you grow 169 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: the economy. Another way to do it is you know 170 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: there's all sorts of resources under our feet that we 171 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 1: don't tap into. Another way to do it is you 172 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: pay is you go based on how the economy is going. 173 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: The way that you do it and get the most 174 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: bank for your buck and don't lose fifty of every 175 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: fifty cents of every dollar in the bureaucracy in Washington 176 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: is you take it out of their hands. You take 177 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: it out of the hands of elected officials because they 178 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 1: have shown themselves incompetent, incapable of getting anything done. So 179 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: if you've got to spend five billion maybe to start, 180 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,319 Speaker 1: Because what worries me after reading this article in bright 181 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: part today is all they want to do even the 182 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,839 Speaker 1: Republicans is do the things that they want, not the 183 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 1: things that Trump wont on. And probably the most difficult 184 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: policy Trump is gonna faces controlling our borders, immigration reform, 185 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:19,080 Speaker 1: deporting criminals and others that are that didn't respect our 186 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 1: laws and sovereignty. But they got this guy, Representative Bill 187 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 1: Flores of Texas saying that he talked to Paul Ryan, 188 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: and their strategy is to isolate and block Trump's populist 189 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 1: campaign promises, Well, that's a problem to me. Like his 190 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: immigration reforms, Let's just do the things we agree on. 191 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: Let's do tax reform. Let's do Obamacare. It's replace Obamacare. 192 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: Let us start dealing with border security. Start start the 193 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 1: emphasis under the words starting, let us rebuild our national security. 194 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: And then on those areas where we're not exactly aligned 195 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,679 Speaker 1: with ours, we'll figure out the rest later in the 196 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: next six months. Let me translate what that means in Washington, 197 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 1: Go to hell, We're not going to do that. That's 198 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: getting the tax increase up front. You never get the 199 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: spending cuts ten years later. That's getting the amnesty, never 200 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: getting the wall built. That's the way Washington works. And 201 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 1: if I'm Trump, I'd read this very closely, because I'd 202 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 1: see this as the writing is on the wall, and 203 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 1: if he wants to get his issues passed, he's got 204 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:30,719 Speaker 1: to keep negotiating, just like he's doing with Carrier, with 205 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: soft Bank, and with everybody else. You know. I told 206 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: a very good friend of mine, strong conservative likes Trump 207 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,959 Speaker 1: is worried about protectionism and his call for thirty tariff, 208 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 1: and I said, look, I'm telling you right now, that's bluster. 209 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: It could happen. He said it, he would do it. 210 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,440 Speaker 1: I believe he do it. But I think that this 211 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: Why do you think Japan has soft Bank? And Japan 212 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: doesn't want to trade war with US. China doesn't want 213 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: a trade war with US. And if Trump goes in 214 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,439 Speaker 1: there and says, Okay, we're gonna let your products come 215 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,199 Speaker 1: in here for free the way they always do, but 216 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: you're gonna let our products in for free too, that's 217 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: called a negotiation. And one of the things I've learned 218 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: with Trump over the years is this guy never stops negotiating. 219 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 1: Everything in his mind circles around the prism of negotiation. 220 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 1: I don't think he all of this is him negotiating 221 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: with these countries ahead of time, and he's probably got 222 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: half of them literally wetting their pants over this, which 223 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: is a good thing to do. So the same thing 224 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: needs to be there for Congress as well. And Congress 225 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 1: needs to know that if they want those things that 226 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,680 Speaker 1: they've been wanting for a long time and promising their 227 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 1: constituents for a long time, well they've they've got to 228 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 1: do their part two. And that means there might be 229 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,439 Speaker 1: parts of the Trump agenda that they don't like that 230 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: he's got to use as a bargaining chip now, not 231 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 1: just give them what they want. And I'll tell you 232 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:59,319 Speaker 1: the the only thing that's scaring me about infrastructure is 233 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,840 Speaker 1: how do we pay for it? The second thing that 234 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 1: scares me about infrastructure is they constantly waste and and 235 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 1: abuse the process of spending your money. And I don't 236 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 1: want them wasting any more money with promises of shovel 237 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:22,199 Speaker 1: ready jobs that won't be so shovel ready, or infrastru 238 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,679 Speaker 1: or infrastructure projects that are never gonna get off the 239 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 1: ground that aren't the ones that are that should be prioritized, 240 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: but are only there because Congressman A is gonna say that, 241 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: Congressman B C, D E n F, if you support 242 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,319 Speaker 1: my project, I'll support your project, and maybe those aren't 243 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: the best projects that's gonna build the infrastructure in the 244 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: country the way we need to. And then the fact 245 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 1: that it runs through the Washington bureaucracy means that you're 246 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 1: really getting about fifty cents of every dollar because they wasted, 247 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: they squander it, and they basically piss it down the toilet. 248 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: And so what I'm saying is you get a guy 249 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 1: like Joe Max. Say Joe here, all of these congressmen 250 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 1: are gonna write you, all these senators are gonna write you. 251 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 1: Five thirty five people are gonna write you and tell 252 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 1: you what they want. After they write, I want you 253 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: to study it. And then I want you to go 254 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 1: through the infrastructure projects that every state needs, and I 255 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: want you to make a priority list. And the next 256 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 1: thing I want you to do is I want a real, 257 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 1: true competitive bidding on every single solitary penny that we 258 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: spend on infrastructure. In other words, run government like a business, 259 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 1: don't run it like they have been running it all 260 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: these years gone by. And that's that's common sense. I 261 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 1: means more jobs are gonna be created, more money is 262 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 1: available for those jobs. You get more bang out of 263 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 1: your buck. You'll actually get a dollar out of a 264 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 1: dollar spent rather than fifty wasted or fifty cents of 265 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: the dollar wasted, and you'll actually get some real things done. 266 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: There's other ways of doing things. And for all those 267 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: people want economic fascism, well, Joe Max Higgins who convinced 268 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: his government down in the Golden Triangle to go ahead 269 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: and invest in roads and sewers and electric grid for 270 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: a steel mill before they even agreed to come, well, 271 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say that's economic fascism to the twelve thousand 272 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 1: people that now have good, high paying jobs and careers 273 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 1: in industries that never existed there. And he's getting back 274 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: four times in some cases what their estimates were that 275 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: they would finally get back if they built it. And 276 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: the companies came, and then he went out and showed 277 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: these people, look at the Look at the roads we built, you, 278 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 1: look at the grid we built, you, look at the 279 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 1: sewers we built. You. There's where you're gonna build it, 280 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 1: and we've got all the permits and it's ready to go. 281 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 1: You want to start. That's how he did it. That's 282 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: called common sense. That's how smart business people work. Not 283 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 1: community organizers, not Acorn members, not a Lynsky Disciples, not 284 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 1: Church of g D Disciples, g D American Disciples. That's 285 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 1: how it works. And I'm gonna tell you there's a 286 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: reason those states voted the way they did. Now, Donald 287 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 1: Trump's got four years. You either deliver or you will 288 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: go home, because the American people will send you home. 289 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 1: And if he's counting on Paul Ryan and company in 290 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 1: the establishment to help him, forget it. They're only gonna 291 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: do what's in their best interest. That's my take. Anyway, 292 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 1: we want to hear from you.

Why because they are the best for 315 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,439 Speaker 1: some companies. I'll sure it wasn't as great as they 316 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 1: thought it was, or as as it was portrayed to be. 317 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 1: Many of the companies said, hey, if it's going to 318 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,679 Speaker 1: be consumed in the US, we can produce it in 319 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 1: the US cheaper and more efficiently than we can elsewhere, 320 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,400 Speaker 1: and bringing in they save money by being here in Mississippi. 321 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: I'll tell our staff if you leave our office and 322 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,680 Speaker 1: you didn't do something like our place a better place 323 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:55,880 Speaker 1: today than you need to find another job. I said, 324 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,880 Speaker 1: these guys should be winning. You know, it's something's not right. 325 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 1: They didn't see, they didn't correct, They didn't realize that 326 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 1: they were big and strong and fast. Nobody ever told 327 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:07,919 Speaker 1: him they were big and strong and fast. I just 328 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 1: thought they were, you know, slow and stupid. I guess 329 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 1: Joe Max Higgins enlisted the community college to provide customized 330 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 1: training for Packard, so when the plant was ready, the 331 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:22,159 Speaker 1: workforce was ready. Is the workforce here prepared for these 332 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 1: new jobs coming in? Nobody in the Golden Triangle made engines, 333 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 1: Nobody made any of this stuff. So what you're really 334 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:32,639 Speaker 1: looking for is do our citizens have the acumen for work? 335 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,920 Speaker 1: Do they have the work ethic? Are they skilled enough 336 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 1: to be trained to do jobs? And the answer is yes, yes, 337 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 1: and yes. The school now gears its training for each 338 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 1: manufacturer coming in. Higgins told us it's the critical part 339 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:51,119 Speaker 1: of his business plan. The promise of a trained workforce 340 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:56,159 Speaker 1: caught I of his biggest catch yet. Yokohamattire. The Japanese 341 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: company plans to employ two thousand workers, not far from 342 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 1: the old Sarah Lee plan. It's considered every county in 343 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,680 Speaker 1: the continental US. So the people who say that the 344 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 1: glory days of American manufacturing are over, you say, I 345 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 1: think that's not right. These plants they pay well, most 346 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 1: of the working conditions are very good, and those are 347 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: the jobs that are in demand. If we can create 348 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 1: those types of industries, those taps of jobs, I think 349 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 1: the sky steal the limit for the United States. This 350 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 1: is Massa, a soft bank from Japan, and he's just 351 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:32,360 Speaker 1: agreed to invest fifty billion dollars in the United States 352 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 1: and fifty thousand jobs. And he's one of the great 353 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,919 Speaker 1: men of industry. So I just want to thank you, 354 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 1: thank you, thank you, thank you very much. This is 355 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,920 Speaker 1: uh and you. If you'd like to speak him, you can, 356 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:47,919 Speaker 1: but one of the truly great men. Thank you, thank you, 357 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 1: thank you, thank you, thank you. All right. That was 358 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 1: from sixty minutes on Sunday night. I was watching Paul 359 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: Ryan and then I stayed watching sixty minutes and they 360 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 1: did a feature on a guy by the name of 361 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,199 Speaker 1: Joe Max Higgins. He's the CEO of gtr Link, the 362 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 1: Golden Triangle Development Group of Mississippi. Now, this is a 363 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:08,399 Speaker 1: place that had disproportionate amount of unemployment. This is a 364 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: place that was suffering. And you know, in light of 365 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 1: the carrier deal and what Donald Trump announced earlier today 366 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: that you got a surprise visit in Trump Tower today 367 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: saying that Soft Bank of Japan is going to invest 368 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 1: fifty billion dollars into the US, creating fifty thousand new jobs. 369 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,359 Speaker 1: I guess the magic wand that Obama was worrying about 370 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,439 Speaker 1: was now being waived again. It was probably called the telephone. 371 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 1: And that's the difference between a businessman who has done 372 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 1: deals his entire life versus a community organizer who you know, 373 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 1: worshiped at the Church of a Lynsky and Frank Marshall, 374 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: Davis and Acorn and the Church of g D America 375 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,920 Speaker 1: Reverend Wright and hung out with unrepentent terrorists Hairs and Dorn. 376 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 1: So I'm watching this report and I'm blown away because 377 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 1: the Golden Triangle literally is a part of the country, 378 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 1: was a part of the country that was doing very, 379 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,199 Speaker 1: very poorly. We have lost since Obama has been president 380 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,919 Speaker 1: about a million manufacturing jobs. Some of these jobs we 381 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:07,479 Speaker 1: can't fill because factories can't find properly trained workers. And 382 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 1: here comes a guy they called the Coach Joe Max, 383 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,640 Speaker 1: he likes to call himself, and he takes it upon 384 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: himself to persuade local dumb politicians to build infrastructure, roads 385 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: and sewers, and, in the case of enticing a steel 386 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 1: company which eventually did move to the Golden Triangle, an 387 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 1: electric grid that they would need for their plan to 388 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 1: power their plant. So he brings a big tire company, 389 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 1: a helicopter building company, a steel plant. Then he brought 390 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 1: one of his biggest gets was the truckmaker pack Car 391 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,920 Speaker 1: to build engines. They used to only build engines in Europe. 392 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 1: Now they build him in Mississippi in the Golden Triangle. Now, 393 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,400 Speaker 1: if the government's going to spend a trillion dollars in infrastructure, 394 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 1: why do I not want that money in the hands 395 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: of Washington bureaucrats, five thirty five greedy politicians that only 396 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: know one way to spend your money, and that's to 397 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,119 Speaker 1: waste it. And Frank got to piss it all away. 398 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,199 Speaker 1: I'd rather put it in the hands of somebody like 399 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: Joe Max who joins us now from Mississippi. Here are you? 400 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:02,439 Speaker 1: I'm fine, sir, How are you? Did you get a 401 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,160 Speaker 1: lot of reaction in that sixty minutes piece we were 402 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 1: unprepared for the sixty minute piece. I I will tell 403 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 1: you our phones are blowing up, emails. Every one of 404 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 1: my staffers are doing nothing but answering the phone since that, 405 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 1: since that report and your teaser yesterday ran well, have 406 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 1: you heard from anybody related to the Trump organization? No? No, sir, Well. 407 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,400 Speaker 1: I personally wrote a summary of what happened on sixty 408 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 1: minutes and I sent it to the Trump kids and 409 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,479 Speaker 1: some of the people in the Trump campaign that they 410 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 1: may want to pay attention to it. And I hope 411 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:35,919 Speaker 1: one day you get a call. How did you do this? 412 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 1: Explain how you got this position, what was the state 413 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 1: of the Golden Triangle, and tell us about the business 414 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: deals you you put together. I'm in an economic development 415 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 1: doing deals for about thirty years. Just shot. About thirteen 416 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:49,360 Speaker 1: and a half years ago, I got a call from 417 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 1: a national head hunter that specializes inciting people like us. 418 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 1: She said, I've got a job for you in Mississippi. 419 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 1: I want you to look at uh. I said, you 420 00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 1: gotta be blank and kidding me. There's no blanking. Why 421 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 1: I'm going to Mississippi. I just watched Mississippi burning. I 422 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,920 Speaker 1: see I see poverty, despair, no future, and no hope 423 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 1: for a future. Not interested, Sehn, I need to tell you. 424 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: I was sitting in Arkansas doing this for a living 425 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 1: when I said that. So a lot of people get 426 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 1: tickled about that. But but I hung up owner uh. 427 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,679 Speaker 1: And then that night I looked on the computer. I 428 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: started looking to see about this Golden Triangle area, what 429 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,440 Speaker 1: was here? And I made a decision pretty quickly. I said, 430 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 1: if God could give it to them or man could 431 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,359 Speaker 1: build it, they're in pretty good shape. Good four lane roads. 432 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,880 Speaker 1: I got a waterway that connects the Great Lakes with 433 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: with with the Gulf of Mexico. Six railroads, major Research University, 434 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 1: Engineering major Engineering school at Mississippi State. And I said, 435 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 1: these guys are losers, but they should be winning. So 436 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,479 Speaker 1: I took the job. And the first six months I 437 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 1: was here, I was miserable as hell. Uh that we was. 438 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 1: I figured out pretty quickly that that they were they were. 439 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 1: They didn't know how to win, they didn't know what 440 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,919 Speaker 1: to do, and they they really just I mean it 441 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 1: was like pushing a noodle but couldn't get it done. First, 442 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 1: Christmas I was here. I came in June and Christmas 443 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,879 Speaker 1: I was here some of them new leadership try to 444 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 1: get me fired. The people that were on my board said, 445 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 1: now we're gonna keep him. Very shortly thereafter, t v 446 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,159 Speaker 1: A came out with this mega site certification program, one 447 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 1: of a kind never been done in the in the business. 448 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,159 Speaker 1: Could identify some of the best industrial sites in the 449 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: Tennessee Valley eighty thousand square miles. We entered a site 450 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 1: us in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. One we were certified and with 451 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 1: then just just months later, the steel mill came calling. 452 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,399 Speaker 1: And now there's a one point seven five b and 453 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,880 Speaker 1: dollar steel mill on that first megacite. How many people 454 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 1: are employed by the steel mill, well, directly directly employed 455 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,679 Speaker 1: getting a check from the steel mill six hundred and fifty. 456 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: And if you had all the associated jobs with the 457 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,960 Speaker 1: contractors and the other vendors on there, the truck drivers 458 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:40,920 Speaker 1: that delivered the steel in and outs, you can you 459 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 1: can times at times you got probably you probably got 460 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,360 Speaker 1: twice that mini that work out there that don't get 461 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,880 Speaker 1: a check from the steel of a six hundred fifty 462 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 1: at the steel mill at an average wage of eighty 463 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year. I saw the one guy on 464 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,639 Speaker 1: sixty minutes, he makes a hundred grandy year double what 465 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 1: he used to make. He's got a bigger house, more property, 466 00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 1: and more opportunity for his kids to go to better 467 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 1: schools and a better truck. Not a bad deal now, 468 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 1: and that well, and that that's that's the whole that's 469 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 1: the whole story of the whole triangle. Pat Carns, general manager, 470 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 1: lives across the straight from me, and we were talking 471 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 1: one day and he said, you know, the first year 472 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:12,680 Speaker 1: we were here, every three months we had on off 473 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,679 Speaker 1: day bring steam cleaners out and and squirt the oil 474 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,400 Speaker 1: off the parking lot where where the people that parked 475 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,639 Speaker 1: their cars. He said, we don't do that anymore. Well, wow, 476 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 1: let me ask this, how many deals have you now 477 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 1: brought to the Golden Triangle And explain the infrastructure set 478 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 1: up that you did to entice and how it paid off. 479 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,880 Speaker 1: In other words, when you were building the roads and sewers, 480 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 1: when you built that power plant whatever that thing is 481 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 1: that the extra power grid for the for the steel mill, um, 482 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 1: how that really turned the whole deal around so you 483 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 1: can have those jobs. You know, how did you convince 484 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 1: the local authorities to invest not knowing for sure they're 485 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 1: getting a return. Well, you know that that's a good question. 486 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 1: And in the early days, you know, there's two key 487 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 1: county leaders here, the president Board of Supervisors, Harry Sanders, 488 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,399 Speaker 1: who is a Republican and the longest servant member of 489 00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 1: the county government, Leery Brooke Shus, a Democrat. And I 490 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,199 Speaker 1: brought him at both in and I said, guys, if 491 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: we're gonna win here, you can't make economic development be 492 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,160 Speaker 1: a football. You cannot do it. We have to play 493 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 1: for the long haul, and we have to invest in ourselves, 494 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:10,639 Speaker 1: and we have to reinvest in ourselves. And said, when 495 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,119 Speaker 1: we make money, we've got to take it as a corporation, 496 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,119 Speaker 1: not take it. Dived in and plow it back in 497 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 1: hard assets, water sewer, roads, acquisition of land, and and 498 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 1: those two guys, uh bought a hook line and sinker 499 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 1: and said we're in. And I mean men, and they've 500 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 1: been in since day one. And how much did they 501 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 1: have to invest that initial investment that well, the initial 502 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 1: investment to to to get the certified megacine was a 503 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy thousand dollars. We had to spend on 504 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,399 Speaker 1: engineering and and and work. Once that happened, when the 505 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 1: steel mill came, we had to invest twelve and a 506 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 1: half million dollars a local money, twelve and a half 507 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,719 Speaker 1: million dollars that purchased the site, and that did some 508 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 1: site improvement, UH, and that leverage that what was supposed 509 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 1: to be a six hundred twenty five million doll investment 510 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,159 Speaker 1: that ended up being a billion dollars. The math on 511 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 1: that work that we were gonna be able to pay 512 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:53,879 Speaker 1: our note, we won't be able to pay, and we 513 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,920 Speaker 1: sought out low interest loans with with good terms, and 514 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,200 Speaker 1: and we borrowed twelve and a half million dollars. And 515 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,959 Speaker 1: the way our model around is we anticipated we were 516 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:04,720 Speaker 1: gonna we were gonna profit a quarter of a million 517 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 1: dollars a year, get the plant, our bills, and and 518 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 1: put a quarter of a million dollars in the county's coffers. 519 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 1: As it turned out, the steel mill missed its estimate. 520 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,120 Speaker 1: It costs more to build it, but the incentives were 521 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 1: such that they didn't go up. So instead of making 522 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 1: a quarter of a million dollar profit on the deal, 523 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 1: we made a million dollars a year profit a year. 524 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 1: So we sat down and we said, okay, let's take 525 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 1: that money and let's plow that into purchase the land 526 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,120 Speaker 1: and other stuff. So since that time we have purchased 527 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,439 Speaker 1: almost eight thousand acres of land. We've installed miles and 528 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,679 Speaker 1: miles and miles of road, water and sewer lines. And 529 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,199 Speaker 1: by the way, you I just want people to know 530 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 1: you're you're building this out in the wilderness. The roads, 531 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 1: the power of the sewer lines. I mean, there's nothing there, 532 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:44,719 Speaker 1: but you're building it to show them, Hey, you can 533 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:46,880 Speaker 1: just drop your plan in here. We got everything set 534 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:48,359 Speaker 1: up for you. Yeah. And not only do we have 535 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:49,919 Speaker 1: the water and sewer there, but we've done all the 536 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,120 Speaker 1: environmental work, all the due diligence with the cultural resources 537 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 1: and all the wetlands, and all the rules and regulations 538 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,199 Speaker 1: you have to follow. We spend all the money to 539 00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,200 Speaker 1: do that up front, so that it is literally plug 540 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 1: and play when they come men, there is there is 541 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 1: no doubt, no chance. Uh. And and look, these companies 542 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 1: want to get Spade to market. You know, every day 543 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 1: every month that they're in construction, they're not making money. 544 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 1: And so the quicker you can get them to making money, 545 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 1: the quicker you can show them that that I can 546 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,880 Speaker 1: be succeeding. The more you increase your chance of winning. Well, 547 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, I found this whole thing amazing. 548 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question. If, like, for example, 549 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 1: we just had this this deal the Trump announced in 550 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 1: Trump Tower with Soft Bank, fifty billion dollars, fifty thousand jobs. 551 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 1: We know the carrier deal that was a thousand or 552 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,680 Speaker 1: eleven hundred jobs. Do you think you could duplicate this 553 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 1: model that you've created in the Golden Triangle? Can you 554 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:39,200 Speaker 1: help Detroit? Could you help Baltimore? Could you help Milwaukee? 555 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 1: Could you help any depressed city using this model with 556 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 1: government resources around the country, Like, for example, Detroit, they're 557 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 1: now talking about bulldozing entire neighborhoods to consolidate services because 558 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 1: the population has had to leave as the auto industry 559 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 1: has left Detroit one of our great cities of all time. 560 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 1: Do you think this model could be duplicate a do 561 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 1: you think government if if Donald Trump called you and 562 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 1: said I want you in charge of all the infrastructure money, 563 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:09,000 Speaker 1: and it was your job and your task to do 564 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 1: what you did in the Golden Triangle, could you duplicate 565 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 1: that on a grand scale. Well, Sean, I don't know 566 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 1: that I would be the guy to do that, But 567 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 1: what I will tell you. Well about this question, could 568 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 1: it be duplicated? What we what we have done here 569 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,280 Speaker 1: is no is no magic deal. It's not rocket sign 570 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 1: I tell my guys, it's blocking and tackling and and 571 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 1: I watched you every night and and and uh, you 572 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 1: know you're a football you're sports fan. And I will 573 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 1: tell you this. I told my guys when we came here, 574 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 1: I said, here's the way we're gonna run this program. 575 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 1: You're Sean You remember the Worston Redskins. Yeah, of course 576 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 1: you remember Rigo. You remember saying, yeah, I have I'm 577 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 1: friends with Joe. Yeah, well, introduced me done. What was 578 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 1: their signature play, Riggins and and Joe? The worst signature 579 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 1: play was the countertrait. Okay, so it was well, basically 580 00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 1: what happened is they come to the line tight ends 581 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 1: on the left side. He goes into agents the tide 582 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 1: and goes in motion to the right. When the ball 583 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,400 Speaker 1: is snapped, Riggins took one half step to the to 584 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 1: the left. The garden and tackle on the left side 585 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: pulled to the right side. Then Riggins turned and and 586 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 1: and and Fisman handed him off the ball. You had 587 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 1: two guards, two tackles, a center and a big gas 588 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,719 Speaker 1: tight end leading the way for Riggins to get that 589 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 1: second and two, second and third, or third and third 590 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 1: and two, third and three, whatever the play was, I 591 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 1: mean it was it was. It was crazy. And I 592 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 1: mean the Chicago Bears, I mean they would be sitting 593 00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 1: there and they knew what they were gonna run. They 594 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 1: couldn't stop them. So what I said was, we've got 595 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 1: to create in this business that that that countertrait mentality 596 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 1: that we do blocking and tackling we do. We do 597 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:37,959 Speaker 1: the small things, we do them right, We repeat them, 598 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:39,720 Speaker 1: repeat them ntil We can do them in our in 599 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 1: in in the dark, and and and more than likely 600 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 1: we're gonna succeed. So this is not rocket science. I mean, 601 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 1: people have to have infrastructures. They have to have good power, 602 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 1: they have to have water, they have to have sewer, 603 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:50,240 Speaker 1: they have to have those things. There's got to be 604 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 1: a tax climate available or there that will make them profitable. 605 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 1: These companies do not create jobs for the people. These 606 00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 1: companies create jobs to make a profit. And if you 607 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 1: can up the microprofit, they will continue to investing you. 608 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 1: You know, I gotta tell you that is the single 609 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 1: most You're right, it should be obvious but you see 610 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:12,320 Speaker 1: how government mismanages people's money. You see what they if, 611 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 1: for example, a stimulus bill ends up going all their 612 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 1: cronies and all their friends and and all their fellow 613 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 1: contractors and nothing gets done. I am going to put 614 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,120 Speaker 1: you in touch with New King Rich. I sent him. 615 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,720 Speaker 1: He wrote me back about you, and um, I I 616 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,720 Speaker 1: just I'm interested in pursuing this on a grand scale 617 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 1: because I'm worried about the amount of money they're talking 618 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 1: about for infrastructure, and knowing how Washington works, and I 619 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 1: think what you've done here, you know, like the seven 620 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 1: million dollars or billion dollars that what is seven million dollars? 621 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 1: That's all it is in the tax incentives the carriers getting. 622 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 1: But they're spending thirty five billion redoing the plan and 623 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 1: other things. But I'm very impressed you don't get paid 624 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 1: a whole lot, hell of a lot of money for 625 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:50,920 Speaker 1: what you do and the money you're making for your 626 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 1: community and the jobs you're creating for your community.

It does do one thing. It shows 662 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:52,920 Speaker 1: investors have confidence in the market competence in the economic 663 00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 1: plan of the incoming president.

Look at the stock market, and like people 667 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,200 Speaker 1: in poverty, you don't give a flying rip about the 668 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:08,200 Speaker 1: stock market. People out of work don't care about the 669 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,279 Speaker 1: stock market. You know, people on food stamps, they don't 670 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,480 Speaker 1: give a rip about the stock market. And I'll be honest, 671 00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:16,760 Speaker 1: I have money that I can invest in the stock market, 672 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,520 Speaker 1: and I don't ever want to invest in the stock mark. 673 00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:21,759 Speaker 1: I have the biggest fights with my financial guy who 674 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 1: wants me to put more money in the stock market. 675 00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:25,800 Speaker 1: And I'm like, I don't want money in the stock market. 676 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,280 Speaker 1: I don't trust it, I don't know it, I don't 677 00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 1: believe it. I don't trust it, and I want no 678 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:34,920 Speaker 1: part of it. And he's like, how do you really feel? Anyway? 679 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 1: So the President lack made the surprise visit Trump Tower 680 00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:42,280 Speaker 1: lobby today and says that Soft Bank of Japan company 681 00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:46,200 Speaker 1: is gonna invest fifty billion dollars into the economy. How 682 00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:50,600 Speaker 1: many jobs did they say? Fifty new jobs? Okay, Now, 683 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,040 Speaker 1: maybe maybe Obama is gonna say, well, what's the magic 684 00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:55,200 Speaker 1: wand how is he gonna make any hippen? I guess 685 00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:58,840 Speaker 1: the magic wand ends up being a telephone and maybe 686 00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,000 Speaker 1: and this is what I said. It was a very 687 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:04,799 Speaker 1: very good close friend of mine who's just livid over 688 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,600 Speaker 1: the idea of protectionism. It's a very close friend. And 689 00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,799 Speaker 1: I said, I'm telling you, I know this guy. All 690 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:15,360 Speaker 1: of that is a negotiation. Everything with Trump is a negotiation. 691 00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:20,239 Speaker 1: And by saying he's gonna put tariffs on Japan and China, 692 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,560 Speaker 1: guess what China and Japan are gonna do. They don't 693 00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:24,640 Speaker 1: want to stop their products from coming into the United States. 694 00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:28,640 Speaker 1: We're gonna get a much better deal. It's called the negotiation. Like, 695 00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:32,080 Speaker 1: for example, I negotiate a contract for radio, contract for TV. 696 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,799 Speaker 1: I say I want an obscene amount of money. They 697 00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:38,640 Speaker 1: come back within a scenely low amount of money, and 698 00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:40,440 Speaker 1: then I come down like an inch and then they 699 00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,319 Speaker 1: come up two ft. And that's how the negot Now 700 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,880 Speaker 1: I'm kidding, you know what I'm saying. I'm just you 701 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,560 Speaker 1: make a deal. We used to negotiate for cars. We 702 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,719 Speaker 1: don't really negotiate for cars anymore because everybody knows what 703 00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:53,960 Speaker 1: the price of the car is, what the car dealership 704 00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:57,200 Speaker 1: paid for it. You know what the deals are. And frankly, 705 00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,000 Speaker 1: they want to sell cars so bad they're gonna tell 706 00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:00,440 Speaker 1: you what the deals are, even if you don't know 707 00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:05,880 Speaker 1: what the deals are. And I my buddy King O'Rourke Cadillac, Um, 708 00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,040 Speaker 1: what's it, the Dave Paracone, Like all I do is 709 00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,400 Speaker 1: call him. I don't even ask what the prices because 710 00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:13,160 Speaker 1: he's not gonna screw me, because that's the kind of 711 00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:17,319 Speaker 1: relationship we have. He's not he's he actually called me 712 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 1: back after I bought my last escal and he said, well, 713 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:21,719 Speaker 1: if you wait a little longer, they have this incentive 714 00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,680 Speaker 1: that's coming out. Why don't you just wait? I mean, 715 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,480 Speaker 1: that's that's a guy that's looking out for my interests. 716 00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,879 Speaker 1: Why would I go anywhere else. That's a guy When 717 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:32,759 Speaker 1: I call him and said the stupid card doesn't work, 718 00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:34,799 Speaker 1: and you pick it up. He comes by my house, 719 00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:38,120 Speaker 1: send somebody over, picks up the car, leaves me another 720 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,160 Speaker 1: car so I don't have to worry about the car, 721 00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,399 Speaker 1: and and I get it back fixed and it never 722 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,880 Speaker 1: cost me a time because that's what my warranty is 723 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:50,200 Speaker 1: included with. I mean, that's how you want to do business. 724 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:54,360 Speaker 1: So Trump picks up the phone, makes a deal with carrier. 725 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:56,520 Speaker 1: Carrier on top of the money, all right, they are 726 00:36:56,560 --> 00:37:01,879 Speaker 1: getting incentives from Indiana, just like every other state offers incentives. 727 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,880 Speaker 1: The only thing Trump offered was he's going to advance 728 00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:08,680 Speaker 1: his agenda, which is a corporate tax. It's definitely gonna 729 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:12,800 Speaker 1: be lower than the is. Now he's gonna eliminate regulations. 730 00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,960 Speaker 1: They will have a seat at the table carrier because 731 00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,120 Speaker 1: now if the head of carrier, the CEO of that 732 00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:22,520 Speaker 1: company calls and says this regulation is killing my business. 733 00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,720 Speaker 1: Please help me. Trump will look at it. That's called 734 00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:30,600 Speaker 1: win win. It's not pay to play, it's called business. 735 00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:34,719 Speaker 1: It's keeping American jobs here. And this is what Democrats 736 00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,680 Speaker 1: don't seem to understand this. Look. I keep going back 737 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,000 Speaker 1: to three reasons why this election came out the way 738 00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:44,320 Speaker 1: it did. It's simple Obama screwed up royally. Hillary is 739 00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:49,160 Speaker 1: a horrible candidate with with ethical and honesty issues. And 740 00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:52,560 Speaker 1: Trump was able to talk to the people that have 741 00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:54,680 Speaker 1: suffered the most and say this is how I'm gonna 742 00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:58,640 Speaker 1: fix it, and now he's following through on it. You know, 743 00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,440 Speaker 1: I keep saying, the best Donald Trump can do just 744 00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:06,080 Speaker 1: stay focused on your promises. If I was him, I 745 00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:09,040 Speaker 1: put a big checklist on his desk when he gets 746 00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:12,240 Speaker 1: to Washington and on his dad's gotta have my checklist. 747 00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,319 Speaker 1: And that means the first people he's got to watch 748 00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,560 Speaker 1: out for Republicans, because they're only gonna want to pass 749 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,920 Speaker 1: their agenda. And I'd say, Okay, we'll pass your agenda 750 00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,879 Speaker 1: and my agenda, and we're gonna pass this and this 751 00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,439 Speaker 1: and this too, or you're not getting what you want, 752 00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,279 Speaker 1: and they'll have the cave that's the difference between a 753 00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:34,880 Speaker 1: community organizer and Acorn Frank Marshall Davis Church of g 754 00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:39,480 Speaker 1: D America, of Reverend Wright and Bill Ayres and Bernardine 755 00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,520 Speaker 1: Dorn that couldn't get the only president in American history 756 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:44,440 Speaker 1: that couldn't get a single year of g d P 757 00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,880 Speaker 1: over three percent, and a guy that's been a businessman, 758 00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:52,759 Speaker 1: that that's made deals his entire life, you know, the 759 00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:56,319 Speaker 1: most one of the more fun things aspects in my 760 00:38:56,480 --> 00:39:00,279 Speaker 1: life and career have been deal negotiations. And I do 761 00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,400 Speaker 1: it all the time, you know. I I've told you 762 00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,480 Speaker 1: very honestly on this program. I don't like stocks and 763 00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:10,879 Speaker 1: I prefer bricks and mortar. You know. I recently helped 764 00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:14,680 Speaker 1: somebody buy a place, a house, and so I told 765 00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:17,480 Speaker 1: him exactly what to put in as a bid. I 766 00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:21,319 Speaker 1: researched the neighborhood for this friend. This friend just doesn't 767 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,799 Speaker 1: know how to do it. Research the neighborhood, researched the 768 00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:28,240 Speaker 1: last two years recent sales, got a really good feel 769 00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:31,160 Speaker 1: for what the price of the house should be. I 770 00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:33,880 Speaker 1: factored in how long the house had been on the market, 771 00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:38,440 Speaker 1: which was a fairly long period of time, and I said, okay, 772 00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:42,760 Speaker 1: I would go in with this offer closing thirty days, 773 00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:47,000 Speaker 1: say you want to keep the furniture, and they will 774 00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,439 Speaker 1: accept it, and say you need to know within two 775 00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:52,280 Speaker 1: hours or else you're gonna go bid on another property. 776 00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:56,879 Speaker 1: And I said, also take it furnished. There's a long 777 00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:58,839 Speaker 1: story why they did that. And then I said, they're 778 00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,360 Speaker 1: gonna come back. This is gonna be their counter and 779 00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:03,680 Speaker 1: they're gonna say, Okay, we'll do the deal, but we 780 00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:06,600 Speaker 1: need five pieces of Grandma's furniture because Grandma gave it 781 00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:07,839 Speaker 1: to us and we have to take it with us. 782 00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:13,239 Speaker 1: It came back exactly at the number I said, and 783 00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:16,440 Speaker 1: five pieces of Grandma's furniture and they can keep everything else. 784 00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:19,319 Speaker 1: And I don't believe it was Grandma's furniture, by the way, 785 00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:23,520 Speaker 1: just they wanted that furniture. Um, you just you get 786 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,920 Speaker 1: a feel for doing these deals. You just do. The 787 00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,320 Speaker 1: more you do them, the better you get at them. 788 00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:31,520 Speaker 1: And a deal is not good if it doesn't benefit 789 00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:36,920 Speaker 1: both signs. When I do contract negotiations, okay, this is 790 00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:38,840 Speaker 1: what I want, this is what I bring to the table, 791 00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:43,239 Speaker 1: And everything that I do is based on performance and 792 00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:45,680 Speaker 1: based on how hard I'm willing to work on my 793 00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:49,640 Speaker 1: job and serve you my audience every day.

I predicted every horrible thing 832 00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,880 Speaker 1: that would happen. Nobody ever, becauays, you know Honity was 833 00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:50,440 Speaker 1: wrote about Obama. They don't say that either. What what 834 00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,160 Speaker 1: am I seeing that everybody else seems to be missing? 835 00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:57,520 Speaker 1: It's not that complicated. If you understand that there's actually 836 00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:01,319 Speaker 1: real people that lived between New York, d C. And 837 00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:06,000 Speaker 1: San Francisco in l A that work hard, build the country, 838 00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,200 Speaker 1: produce all the goods and services that people want, need 839 00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:12,000 Speaker 1: and desire, and they're the forgotten men and women that 840 00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:15,120 Speaker 1: have been screwed. Then you kind of find out it's 841 00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:19,120 Speaker 1: pretty easy to just listen to them and see the 842 00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:23,280 Speaker 1: status of their lives. And the rungs of the ladder 843 00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:25,920 Speaker 1: that I once climbed up are all gone but below 844 00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:29,240 Speaker 1: my feet, and the idea is to put the wrongs 845 00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:31,640 Speaker 1: of the ladder back in so everybody can climb up. 846 00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:35,520 Speaker 1: It's not that complicated, Linda, Am I right about this? 847 00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,960 Speaker 1: You have to not nodding your head doesn't work on radio, 848 00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:43,520 Speaker 1: I tell you every day. I think that you're making 849 00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:46,160 Speaker 1: a lot of really good points that America we all 850 00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:48,160 Speaker 1: work together to be spokes in a wheel, and that 851 00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:50,520 Speaker 1: we all you weren't paying attention, were talking about the 852 00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:54,759 Speaker 1: ladder and beneath you, I'm listening. I'm just commenting on 853 00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:57,040 Speaker 1: all of it. It's a grand theme that you're putting 854 00:43:57,040 --> 00:44:00,000 Speaker 1: out today. I'm just saying it's it's very profound and you, miss, 855 00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:03,239 Speaker 1: I'm having a moment of your profound statement where I'm 856 00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:06,839 Speaker 1: encompassing it with the prelude. She was totally distracted, half 857 00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:09,759 Speaker 1: paying attention. She picked up a couple of words, and 858 00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:12,960 Speaker 1: now she's like trying to cover her tracks. But it's 859 00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:15,640 Speaker 1: all right. You have other duties besides listening to every 860 00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:18,000 Speaker 1: word that I listened, and I'm staring at you every 861 00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:20,200 Speaker 1: word and the last words. I have the reason I 862 00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:23,200 Speaker 1: talked to you because you were looking at me. So 863 00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:26,879 Speaker 1: whatever you were multitasking. No, right at that moment when 864 00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:28,839 Speaker 1: you asked me to turn my mic on, someone did 865 00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:32,480 Speaker 1: ask me a question. Oh it was Ethan. Let me guess. Listen, 866 00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:36,200 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna believe Ethan or Lauren or Jason because 867 00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:38,440 Speaker 1: you cover for them and they'll cover for you. You 868 00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:43,640 Speaker 1: just left Linda. You left her speechless, Shan. Okay, this 869 00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:46,000 Speaker 1: is now the whole team covers from Like, for example, 870 00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:48,040 Speaker 1: let's say somebody screws up the time that somebody is 871 00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:50,680 Speaker 1: supposed to call into the show, and I'm like, now 872 00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:53,480 Speaker 1: should I feel should I do another segment or should 873 00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:56,280 Speaker 1: I just sit here on live radio and say, Okay, 874 00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:58,120 Speaker 1: we're waiting for so and so to call in and 875 00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:00,760 Speaker 1: or should I go in another direct ship in the show, 876 00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:03,399 Speaker 1: because I'm always way overprepared anyway, I don't care which 877 00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:06,520 Speaker 1: way it goes. And Linda will say, I'll say, well, 878 00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:09,719 Speaker 1: who screwed it up? I did? I did it. I 879 00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:11,839 Speaker 1: did it. But let me just give while she had 880 00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:13,920 Speaker 1: nothing to do with, let me answer your because you 881 00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:16,839 Speaker 1: cover up for your team in there, and they now 882 00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:20,719 Speaker 1: are covering up for you. It's like they're not how 883 00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:23,040 Speaker 1: out of touch people are with the middle of the country. 884 00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:24,960 Speaker 1: And you know, Mark Wahlberg, I don't know if you 885 00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:28,959 Speaker 1: saw his comments. I did. Actually, that is literally someone 886 00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:31,880 Speaker 1: in Hollywood saying what you're saying. You know, the rest 887 00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:34,440 Speaker 1: of the world. Hollywood is not in touch with the 888 00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:37,680 Speaker 1: middle of You know why I like I met Mark Wahlberg. 889 00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:41,439 Speaker 1: He's amazing. I met Mark Wahlberg at a super Bowl 890 00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:43,680 Speaker 1: when you know, that's my son's Christmas president every year. 891 00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:46,799 Speaker 1: All right, So I'm not a super Bowl and I 892 00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:49,680 Speaker 1: went to like a pre super Bowl party thing. I 893 00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:51,200 Speaker 1: don't even know what the hell I mean. There's so 894 00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:53,480 Speaker 1: much nonsense that you gotta go to before you actually 895 00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:55,800 Speaker 1: get to the game, which is all I really care about. 896 00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:57,560 Speaker 1: And I met him there, and you know what, I 897 00:45:57,560 --> 00:46:00,520 Speaker 1: like the guy immediately. He's hanging out. He's got his 898 00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:04,160 Speaker 1: he's got his Harley boots on, he's got jeans on, 899 00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:06,800 Speaker 1: he's got a T shirt on, and he was handity, 900 00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:08,359 Speaker 1: what's up man? How are you? Hey? My buddy likes 901 00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:10,799 Speaker 1: your show? Did you say hi to him? Just very 902 00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:14,880 Speaker 1: normal and I'm just assume he's a big Hollywood star, right, 903 00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:18,080 Speaker 1: I mean he's Mark Wallburg. Are you joking? He's like 904 00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:21,399 Speaker 1: a really big deal. He's like the biggest deal. Well, 905 00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:23,480 Speaker 1: he was very nice to me. He's incredible and he 906 00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:25,640 Speaker 1: was laughing. He goes, my buddy so and so is 907 00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:27,239 Speaker 1: a big fan of yours. Oh my god, he's gonna 908 00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:28,799 Speaker 1: go nuts. What he was on our show? You do 909 00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:32,640 Speaker 1: remember that, right? Remember he was incredible. I thought he 910 00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:36,640 Speaker 1: was amazing. And that's that movie. But the point is, 911 00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:40,480 Speaker 1: there's a Hollywood star who put himself and his brother 912 00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:45,759 Speaker 1: does that that cheeseburger place, Walburg's or whatever Burgers. They 913 00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:48,000 Speaker 1: have a great family that he believes in family. He's 914 00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:50,520 Speaker 1: the Boston kid that grew up and did well. That's 915 00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:52,719 Speaker 1: not my point. My point is that he went out 916 00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:54,799 Speaker 1: on a limb because all his Hollywood friends are going 917 00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:56,479 Speaker 1: to smack the crap out of him. And he said, 918 00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:58,200 Speaker 1: you guys need to be quiet. You don't get the 919 00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:01,839 Speaker 1: middle common you know for man, And that's exactly what 920 00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:03,520 Speaker 1: you say. And that's where I was going with all 921 00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:06,200 Speaker 1: of this before you berated me break you. I just 922 00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:08,920 Speaker 1: was pointing out the obvious that you're being covered for 923 00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:12,120 Speaker 1: by your by my staff in there. Now. We're not 924 00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:15,719 Speaker 1: working on a deportation force. Here's what we're working on 925 00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:18,319 Speaker 1: with the repect the immigration, securing our border, enforcing our 926 00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:22,400 Speaker 1: current laws. He talked about criminal aliens. That's just enforcing 927 00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:24,520 Speaker 1: laws for people who came here illegally, who came and 928 00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:28,960 Speaker 1: committed violent crimes. Um, we should enforce those laws. But 929 00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:31,799 Speaker 1: really what we're focused on is securing our border. Tu 930 00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:33,319 Speaker 1: said he was going to build a wall. I think 931 00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:35,640 Speaker 1: conditions on the ground determine what you need in in 932 00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:37,960 Speaker 1: particular areas. Some areas you might need a wall, so Mary, 933 00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:40,560 Speaker 1: you might need double fencing. My own view on this 934 00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:45,440 Speaker 1: is whatever kind of device or barrier or policy to 935 00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:47,560 Speaker 1: secure the border is necessarily to secure the border, then 936 00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:51,359 Speaker 1: do it. Abdul Razik ali Artan, the Man police say 937 00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:54,960 Speaker 1: deliberately rammed a car into a group of pedestrians, then 938 00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:58,000 Speaker 1: got out and started slashing people with a butcher knife. 939 00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:01,239 Speaker 1: According to Federal Law Enforcement of chells Artan was an 940 00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:04,719 Speaker 1: eighteen year old Somali citizen living near the university as 941 00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:08,560 Speaker 1: a legal permanent resident. Isis is now claiming responsibility for 942 00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:12,360 Speaker 1: inspiring the attack on the Ohio State University campus. Sometimes 943 00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:14,400 Speaker 1: when I'm talking to young interns of the White House 944 00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:19,279 Speaker 1: who are still immunizing themselves from the cynicism that's so 945 00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:23,160 Speaker 1: chronic in this town, um, I remind them, if you 946 00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:26,040 Speaker 1: had to choose a moment in history to be born, 947 00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:27,400 Speaker 1: and you didn't know ahead of time who you were 948 00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:30,439 Speaker 1: going to be, you choose now because the world has 949 00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:35,160 Speaker 1: never been less violent, healthier, better educated, more tolerant, with 950 00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:39,080 Speaker 1: more opportunity for more people, and more connected than it 951 00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:41,920 Speaker 1: is today. I have no idea who he's talking about, 952 00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:44,680 Speaker 1: none but what country is talking about either. Anyway, News 953 00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:48,120 Speaker 1: round Up and Information Overload our here on the Sean 954 00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:51,800 Speaker 1: Hannity Show to free telephone numbers eight hundred nine for one, Shawn, 955 00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:53,080 Speaker 1: if you want to be a part of the program. 956 00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:57,000 Speaker 1: As I mentioned earlier, the thing that is concerning me 957 00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:01,080 Speaker 1: the most in what I see Congress and their priorities 958 00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:03,640 Speaker 1: and what they're laying out now. Of course, they hope 959 00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:06,280 Speaker 1: to adjourn for the year by the end of the week, 960 00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:10,160 Speaker 1: and we're told that the Continuing Resolution budget is is 961 00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:14,120 Speaker 1: unveiled along with a final deal on water resources and 962 00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:19,520 Speaker 1: that bill. And but what concerns me is after January. 963 00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:22,200 Speaker 1: You've got a top a top ally of House Speaker 964 00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:26,200 Speaker 1: Paul Ryan outlining the GOP leadership strategy to in the 965 00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:31,680 Speaker 1: beginning isolate and block President Donald Trump's populist campaign promises, 966 00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:35,200 Speaker 1: which includes some of his immigration reforms. For example. What 967 00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:38,320 Speaker 1: they're saying is, and this was quoted by Bill Flores, 968 00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:41,680 Speaker 1: Congressman from Texas, we all agree that some of the 969 00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:45,120 Speaker 1: president's proposed policies are not gonna line up very well 970 00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:48,360 Speaker 1: with our policies. Let's do the things we agree on. 971 00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:51,879 Speaker 1: Let's do tax reform, Let's do Obamacare, let's replace Obamacare, 972 00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:55,880 Speaker 1: let's start dealing with border security, let's rebuild our national security, 973 00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:58,600 Speaker 1: and that on those areas where his agenda is not 974 00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:01,319 Speaker 1: exactly aligned with our, we'll figure out the rest in 975 00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:04,680 Speaker 1: the next six months. The GOP congressional leadership In other words, 976 00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:07,040 Speaker 1: they want to pass all their priorities, but they don't 977 00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:10,440 Speaker 1: want to pass Donald Trump's priorities, which means Donald Trump, 978 00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:12,520 Speaker 1: I'm sure, at some point is going to figure out 979 00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:16,759 Speaker 1: that there might be typical Washington maneuvering in in place here, 980 00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:19,759 Speaker 1: and I hope that he is aware of what's going on. 981 00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:24,000 Speaker 1: Congressman Dave Brad Is from Virginia and Representative Congressman Brian 982 00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:26,440 Speaker 1: baban Is from Texas here to talk about this, some 983 00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:29,360 Speaker 1: of the few congressmen that actually come on this program anymore. 984 00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:33,000 Speaker 1: Congressman Brad, how are you hey? Doing great? Shawn? Feeling 985 00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:35,439 Speaker 1: feeling good with the new momentum we have, And you're 986 00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:38,440 Speaker 1: right the the the election year issues that the seismic 987 00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:41,680 Speaker 1: shift everyone felt was due to precisely these issues that 988 00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:45,600 Speaker 1: affect the forgotten man, right the immigration issues to trade 989 00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:48,840 Speaker 1: issues to cleaning the swamp. Paul Ryan's Better Way agenda 990 00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:51,080 Speaker 1: has some great stuff in it, right, tax reform, We're 991 00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:53,440 Speaker 1: all going to get to that, but we we've got 992 00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:58,720 Speaker 1: the the issues that won this election for us in Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, etcetera. 993 00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:00,960 Speaker 1: Are the issues we've been flight before I came in 994 00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:04,520 Speaker 1: the week of Obama's unconstitutional amnesty and Bayner said, we're 995 00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:06,279 Speaker 1: going to fight tooth and nail on that, and we 996 00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:09,000 Speaker 1: didn't lift a finger. And then there's been executive action 997 00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:12,080 Speaker 1: ever since. And then my good friend Brian Babin from Texas, 998 00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:14,200 Speaker 1: I will tee it up. But he's had the great 999 00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:17,320 Speaker 1: bill on the refugee clean up, which he can explain 1000 00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:20,000 Speaker 1: to you. And uh, he's had the vetting stuff before 1001 00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:23,440 Speaker 1: it was cool. And so uh, we've had bills in 1002 00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:25,719 Speaker 1: the opera. We have five bills that have passed out 1003 00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:29,000 Speaker 1: of Good Lads Committee Judiciary on Immigration, and good lad 1004 00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:31,960 Speaker 1: is a very rational chairman. These are not hair on 1005 00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:34,920 Speaker 1: fire bills. These are just five immigration bills that will 1006 00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:37,320 Speaker 1: make this country's a safer place. And we have not 1007 00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:39,960 Speaker 1: our leadership has not moved these bills. And so that's 1008 00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:42,200 Speaker 1: the issue. These five bills have to go. Well, I 1009 00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:44,960 Speaker 1: agree with them, and look for example, I mean they 1010 00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:48,160 Speaker 1: have funding over the government that Obama. Obama's demanding three 1011 00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:52,400 Speaker 1: point nine billion for refugee resettlement. That's a two increase 1012 00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:55,000 Speaker 1: over the current year funding. And I'm saying, well, Congress 1013 00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:56,799 Speaker 1: has the power of the purse. The last time I 1014 00:51:56,880 --> 00:51:59,680 Speaker 1: checked our constitutions that still exists or was it? Did 1015 00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:02,520 Speaker 1: we have an amendment that I didn't know about, as Brian, 1016 00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:05,000 Speaker 1: you went to weigh in? Sure I will, Sean, how 1017 00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:08,040 Speaker 1: are you great to be back with you? Yeah, I'm good. 1018 00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:10,480 Speaker 1: Good to be on My friend Dave Brad as well. 1019 00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:14,839 Speaker 1: It's it's uh the continuing resolution negotiations that are going 1020 00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:18,560 Speaker 1: on right now. Uh. We I have we I've had 1021 00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:21,279 Speaker 1: an op ed out, I've talked to the conference, I've 1022 00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:23,680 Speaker 1: talked to a lot of my colleagues, including Dave, and 1023 00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:27,720 Speaker 1: he understands this. We cannot add an increase the budget 1024 00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:30,840 Speaker 1: of the o r R or the Officer Refugee Resettlement 1025 00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:34,040 Speaker 1: and the refugee program. We did that last December in 1026 00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:37,120 Speaker 1: the omnibus. We increased it by a hundred million dollars 1027 00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:42,160 Speaker 1: and we must, we absolutely must prevent uh increasing the 1028 00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:45,000 Speaker 1: budget because we know, as you just said, Sean, this 1029 00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:47,399 Speaker 1: president is trying to get an end of the year 1030 00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:52,000 Speaker 1: gift of two point two billion to his refugee program. Well, 1031 00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:55,319 Speaker 1: we know absolutely on the heels of this Ohio state 1032 00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:58,759 Speaker 1: attack a Somali refugee, we have got to stop the 1033 00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:02,279 Speaker 1: program until we can vet these people, and we need 1034 00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:07,640 Speaker 1: to stop it from these hotbeds of Islamic terrorism. And uh, this, 1035 00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:12,640 Speaker 1: this refugees, whole refugee program has been just taken over 1036 00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:16,080 Speaker 1: by this president. Uh you know this, this bill started 1037 00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:20,439 Speaker 1: in this law. It was sponsored by Ted Kennedy none other, 1038 00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:24,120 Speaker 1: and signed by President Carter. It was funded at two million, 1039 00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:26,920 Speaker 1: and now it's approaching two billion. We don't really even know. 1040 00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:30,400 Speaker 1: Actually it's it's sitting. He's demanding three point nine billion. 1041 00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:32,879 Speaker 1: It's not even My only point is this. I mean, 1042 00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:35,360 Speaker 1: I think one of the reasons and I keep arguing 1043 00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:38,640 Speaker 1: that the Republican Party created Donald Trump is because they 1044 00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:41,320 Speaker 1: don't keep their promises. They did, they had show votes 1045 00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:43,920 Speaker 1: to repeal or replace Obamacare, but they've never used the 1046 00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:46,920 Speaker 1: power of the purse. Ted Cruz became a pariah because 1047 00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:49,239 Speaker 1: he tried to. And and then when it comes to 1048 00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:51,279 Speaker 1: initially like this, that they don't want to fight before 1049 00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:53,480 Speaker 1: they go home for their Christmas vacation, and then I 1050 00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:55,560 Speaker 1: look at their priorities, well, let's only do the things 1051 00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:58,239 Speaker 1: we agree on first. And that to me is Washington 1052 00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:00,200 Speaker 1: speak for we're not going to do the thing that 1053 00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:02,880 Speaker 1: you really want that you promised, Mr Trump, which tells 1054 00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:05,040 Speaker 1: me that Trumpet to get his negotiating hat on and 1055 00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:07,120 Speaker 1: go in there and say, well, if we do what 1056 00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:09,400 Speaker 1: you want, we're also doing what I want. We must 1057 00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:13,480 Speaker 1: we must support this pre this president elects agenda and 1058 00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:17,200 Speaker 1: immigration is one of the if not the top plank 1059 00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:19,960 Speaker 1: in his platform. And uh so, this is why I 1060 00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:22,480 Speaker 1: think that my bill, or any of the other bills 1061 00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:26,799 Speaker 1: that would stop this program is Dave uh mentioned a 1062 00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:30,520 Speaker 1: second ago has got to be followed through with. Well, Dave, 1063 00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:33,279 Speaker 1: I do you see what I'm seeing here? Why you know, 1064 00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:36,759 Speaker 1: for example, every time you're told with from Washington that 1065 00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:40,040 Speaker 1: you're gonna get a spending cut or or a tax 1066 00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:42,440 Speaker 1: you're gonna get the tax increase, but you're also going 1067 00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:44,480 Speaker 1: to get a spending cut, you always get the tax 1068 00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:47,280 Speaker 1: increase upfront. Ten years later, you never end up getting 1069 00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:50,239 Speaker 1: that spending cut. Ever, if you offer amnesty, always get 1070 00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:52,480 Speaker 1: the amnesty, you never get the wall. That's the way 1071 00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:55,120 Speaker 1: Washington works. I'm tired of that game. I'm tired of 1072 00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:58,200 Speaker 1: Republicans playing that game. Yeah, you got it right. I'm 1073 00:54:58,239 --> 00:55:00,760 Speaker 1: on the Budget Committee, and I think everybody know Trump 1074 00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:03,040 Speaker 1: just one because we've had a vacuum here when it 1075 00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:06,320 Speaker 1: comes to fiscal responsibility. The debt's at twenty trillions, the 1076 00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:10,640 Speaker 1: unfunded liabilities, Medicare and soil security are insolvent in twelve years, 1077 00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:13,120 Speaker 1: and we have a hundred trillion dollar bill and the 1078 00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:15,600 Speaker 1: kids won't get those programs. And so for the last 1079 00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:18,160 Speaker 1: six years, instead of doing a budget, we don't do 1080 00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:21,040 Speaker 1: a budget. We do an omnibus right before Christmas, loaded 1081 00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:24,000 Speaker 1: up with every toy imaginable that adds to the debt, 1082 00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:26,160 Speaker 1: and then go home. And and for some reason, the 1083 00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:29,319 Speaker 1: American people, we had a huge outsider wave this year, 1084 00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:34,440 Speaker 1: right with Trump. And outsider wave is only what it is, 1085 00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:36,560 Speaker 1: what it is. But the reality is, we all know 1086 00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:42,640 Speaker 1: jerrymandering has rendered nine of politician seats safe. Let's be honest, 1087 00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:45,239 Speaker 1: look and money and well, and the problem is, like 1088 00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:48,640 Speaker 1: I know, they're talking about one trillion dollars in infrastructure 1089 00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:51,760 Speaker 1: spending and Democrats love it and Republicans love it because 1090 00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:54,160 Speaker 1: they're thinking it's gonna work the same old way it's 1091 00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:57,120 Speaker 1: always work, which is, Okay, I'll give you this number 1092 00:55:57,120 --> 00:55:59,480 Speaker 1: of dollars for the project and your district, you give 1093 00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:02,240 Speaker 1: me the number of dollars for the project in my district. 1094 00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:05,200 Speaker 1: It runs through the Washington bureaucracy, you get fifty cents 1095 00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:07,840 Speaker 1: on the dollar rather than having a guy like a 1096 00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:10,160 Speaker 1: hat On in the last hour Joe Max Higgins, the 1097 00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:12,480 Speaker 1: guy that was featured on sixty Minutes this weekend, a 1098 00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:15,920 Speaker 1: guy that has figured out how to transcend the bureaucracy. 1099 00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:20,279 Speaker 1: Incentivized businesses to build in the Golden Triangle in Mississippi, 1100 00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:22,560 Speaker 1: and he's creating thousands of jobs. If if we were 1101 00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:26,080 Speaker 1: to duplicate that success, that paradigm, that model, and take 1102 00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:28,840 Speaker 1: washing like, for example, if we're gonna spend one trillion 1103 00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:30,759 Speaker 1: in infrastructure, how are we gonna pay for it? Paul 1104 00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:33,120 Speaker 1: Ryan didn't answer that question Sunday night. He was asked 1105 00:56:33,120 --> 00:56:34,839 Speaker 1: that he just went right around it. Now, there are 1106 00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:38,120 Speaker 1: ways to pay for things. I would prefer infrastructure spend 1107 00:56:38,120 --> 00:56:40,560 Speaker 1: as you go and take it out of the hands. 1108 00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:43,120 Speaker 1: With all due respect to you guys of your five 1109 00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:48,480 Speaker 1: and thirty three other congressmen and senators that have agendas 1110 00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:51,560 Speaker 1: that basically the top agenda being them being reelected. Am 1111 00:56:51,600 --> 00:56:54,720 Speaker 1: I wrong? Well, that's right. Money's money's in the circle 1112 00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:57,160 Speaker 1: there and it's running the city and everybody knows that. 1113 00:56:57,320 --> 00:56:59,560 Speaker 1: And so the key is, can Trump set up some 1114 00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:02,040 Speaker 1: new capital pool where the money goes directly to show 1115 00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:05,319 Speaker 1: a ready job and bypasses the federal government network of 1116 00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:07,600 Speaker 1: cronies right where we doled out to our buddies and 1117 00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:10,360 Speaker 1: the state senators and the U. S senators or whatever. 1118 00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:13,160 Speaker 1: And that's the challenge going forward. I think he's up 1119 00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:14,920 Speaker 1: to it. I mean, he's been brilliant so far on 1120 00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:18,320 Speaker 1: the first few moves here. It's looking good, but that's everybody. 1121 00:57:18,320 --> 00:57:20,479 Speaker 1: All of a sudden, the Democrats found the debt clock 1122 00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:22,800 Speaker 1: hiding somewhere back in the closet, and the press is 1123 00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:25,000 Speaker 1: the case, and the Democrats are on our case, and 1124 00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:27,560 Speaker 1: it's it's almost comical. Congress were being held up to 1125 00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:30,400 Speaker 1: all these standards and on ethics reform and and the 1126 00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:33,560 Speaker 1: you know, the walling off Trump from his money after 1127 00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:37,240 Speaker 1: the Clinton Foundation has two billion dollars and no press 1128 00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:40,760 Speaker 1: reports at all. I watched Congressman Babman this morning. I 1129 00:57:40,800 --> 00:57:43,760 Speaker 1: saw this article. Donald Trump tweeted out, the President look 1130 00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:46,440 Speaker 1: tweeted out that he didn't want he wanted to cancel 1131 00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:49,439 Speaker 1: the building of a brand new seven forty seven air 1132 00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:52,160 Speaker 1: Force one for future presidents because he said they were 1133 00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:55,920 Speaker 1: going to spend four billion dollars, and he later spoke 1134 00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:58,920 Speaker 1: to reporters and a Trump Tower saying the project is ridiculous. 1135 00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:01,040 Speaker 1: I think Boeing is doing a little bit of a number. 1136 00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:02,760 Speaker 1: We want Boeing to make a lot of money, but 1137 00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:05,520 Speaker 1: not that much money, he said. They issued a statement 1138 00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:07,600 Speaker 1: saying that the company is currently under contract for a 1139 00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:11,080 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy million to help determine the capabilities of 1140 00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:14,760 Speaker 1: these complex military aircraft that served the unique requirements of 1141 00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:17,439 Speaker 1: the President of the United States. Um, did we really 1142 00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:20,600 Speaker 1: spend four billion dollars on an airplane? I mean, did 1143 00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:22,960 Speaker 1: we really spend that much money? It certainly has the 1144 00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:26,640 Speaker 1: appearance of that Sean And uh, you know, as far 1145 00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:29,440 Speaker 1: as this is the man who when you're talking about Trump, 1146 00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:31,959 Speaker 1: this is the man who's not even gonna take a salary. Uh. 1147 00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:34,280 Speaker 1: These are the kinds of things that I believe show 1148 00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:37,400 Speaker 1: a great example. He is determined to drain the swamp. 1149 00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:40,720 Speaker 1: As Dave said, he has made some great appointments already 1150 00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:43,720 Speaker 1: for his inner circle as far as his cabinet goes. 1151 00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:47,720 Speaker 1: And we must, by all means, as as a body 1152 00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:51,240 Speaker 1: in the converse, both House and Senate, support this man 1153 00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:54,160 Speaker 1: and his agenda and push it through. Okay, So now 1154 00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:57,720 Speaker 1: my next question, Congressman Babin, are you getting the any 1155 00:58:57,800 --> 00:59:01,240 Speaker 1: indication from Speaker Ryan, who's set on sixty minutes that 1156 00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:04,320 Speaker 1: he talks to Trump almost daily, that Speaker Ryan is 1157 00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:08,000 Speaker 1: also gonna look at Trump's priorities not only the things 1158 00:59:08,080 --> 00:59:10,680 Speaker 1: quote that are on his agenda. Well, you know, we 1159 00:59:10,760 --> 00:59:14,240 Speaker 1: have a Better Way agenda in the House and Trump's 1160 00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:16,960 Speaker 1: got his agenda, and there's quite a bit of overlap there. 1161 00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:20,480 Speaker 1: I mean, there's some really really good stuff. And uh 1162 00:59:20,640 --> 00:59:23,960 Speaker 1: when when right before the Speaker for our conference, when 1163 00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:27,560 Speaker 1: we were gonna talk about leadership, I talked to Speaker 1164 00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:30,440 Speaker 1: Ryan on the phone with a private conversation. I ask him, 1165 00:59:30,440 --> 00:59:32,840 Speaker 1: white blank, are we going to a push will will 1166 00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:36,920 Speaker 1: you be pushing the uh the uh president alex agenda? 1167 00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:41,920 Speaker 1: And he said he would. It really jives with with 1168 00:59:42,040 --> 00:59:44,560 Speaker 1: our better Way And I really do agree with that. 1169 00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:46,880 Speaker 1: With all that, well, why do I think, why, why 1170 00:59:46,920 --> 00:59:50,200 Speaker 1: does the suspicious side of me? And maybe I'm too cynical. 1171 00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:52,640 Speaker 1: I've only been in radio now thirty years. Maybe maybe 1172 00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:55,680 Speaker 1: I've seen too much, maybe I've become too big a skeptic, 1173 00:59:55,720 --> 00:59:57,920 Speaker 1: But why do I think Donald Trump better trust and 1174 00:59:58,080 --> 01:00:00,640 Speaker 1: verify and make sure the drain is warm part of 1175 01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:03,440 Speaker 1: the agenda, the building the wall part of the agenda, 1176 01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:05,880 Speaker 1: the deportation part of the agenda. Why do I think 1177 01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:08,280 Speaker 1: that has to be done upfront? Well, I agree with 1178 01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:10,680 Speaker 1: you a hundred percent. Were in the We're in the 1179 01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:14,680 Speaker 1: process of negotiating this continuing a resolution, and the proof's 1180 01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:16,360 Speaker 1: going to be in the pudding. And if we can't 1181 01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:20,320 Speaker 1: stop the increase of the budgets of our refugee program 1182 01:00:20,360 --> 01:00:25,240 Speaker 1: and riff in the immigration UH money is being funded 1183 01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:29,600 Speaker 1: to UH to build new infrastructure and housing, and moneys 1184 01:00:29,680 --> 01:00:34,360 Speaker 1: to spend on unaccompanied miners pouring across the Texas border. Uh. 1185 01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:37,600 Speaker 1: These these are the things that Americans, Americans stood up 1186 01:00:37,640 --> 01:00:40,320 Speaker 1: and had a revolution of the ballot box to stop. Well, 1187 01:00:40,360 --> 01:00:43,040 Speaker 1: I just hope, I I just hope. Look, apparently Ryan's 1188 01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:46,240 Speaker 1: gonna remain speaker. I just hope that Ryan is cognitive 1189 01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:48,280 Speaker 1: of the fact that Americans are fed up with the 1190 01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:50,760 Speaker 1: old way the Congress works and this is an opportunity 1191 01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:53,960 Speaker 1: to reform Congress, get rid of the bureaucracy, drained the swamp, 1192 01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:56,120 Speaker 1: all those things that we've been talking about. And if 1193 01:00:56,120 --> 01:00:57,920 Speaker 1: he's unwilling to do so then I guess, you know, 1194 01:00:57,960 --> 01:01:00,480 Speaker 1: maybe a Freedom Caucus member will have to change own him. 1195 01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:02,320 Speaker 1: But if he says he's willing to follow through on it, 1196 01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:03,880 Speaker 1: I guess the proof, as you said, will be in 1197 01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:05,600 Speaker 1: the pudding. But I hate to rush you guys off. 1198 01:01:05,640 --> 01:01:07,400 Speaker 1: I wish we had more time, but we don't. I 1199 01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:09,160 Speaker 1: appreciate you both being with us. By the way, you 1200 01:01:09,160 --> 01:01:12,439 Speaker 1: both members of the Freedom Caucus. Yes, yeah, absolutely so. Yeah, 1201 01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:14,600 Speaker 1: And on the on the Speaker vote, I did lay 1202 01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:17,120 Speaker 1: out my position in News Max. If your folks want 1203 01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:19,800 Speaker 1: to google Bratt and news Yeah, you're not voting for Ryan, right, 1204 01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:23,120 Speaker 1: You're not voting for Ryan. Yeah. I I didn't last time. 1205 01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:25,760 Speaker 1: And so far he has not met my criterion for 1206 01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:27,800 Speaker 1: the vote yet. And so and it's tied to what 1207 01:01:27,840 --> 01:01:29,960 Speaker 1: you're talking about. I we need there are five bills 1208 01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:33,200 Speaker 1: out of the House mandatory you verify strong Interior enforcement, 1209 01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:36,840 Speaker 1: refugee program, Babin's Bill, asylum reform, and an end to 1210 01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:39,880 Speaker 1: Central American unaccompanied mine. I gotta run. But you know 1211 01:01:40,040 --> 01:01:42,160 Speaker 1: it is interesting. The only people that will come on 1212 01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:44,720 Speaker 1: my show now are Freedom Caucus members. The only you're 1213 01:01:44,760 --> 01:01:46,760 Speaker 1: the only people. You're the only people that like me 1214 01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:51,040 Speaker 1: it's interesting that other people won't come on anymore. All Right, alright, Sean, 1215 01:01:51,240 --> 01:01:53,920 Speaker 1: thank you for what you do. I appreciate well. In fairness, 1216 01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:56,800 Speaker 1: Kevin McCarthy said he'd come on the program when I 1217 01:01:56,920 --> 01:01:59,440 Speaker 1: talked to him fairly recently before the election. Let me 1218 01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:03,000 Speaker 1: just warn all of you, after talking with Congressman Dave 1219 01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:06,640 Speaker 1: Bratt and Congressman Babin of Texas and other Freedom Caucus 1220 01:02:06,680 --> 01:02:09,640 Speaker 1: members that I check in with on a fairly regular basis, 1221 01:02:10,320 --> 01:02:14,800 Speaker 1: I don't trust the Republicans in the House. Sorry. I'm 1222 01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:18,160 Speaker 1: a Reaganite, a trust but verified guy. That's how I 1223 01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:21,720 Speaker 1: That's how I view all of these things anyway. So 1224 01:02:22,760 --> 01:02:26,200 Speaker 1: to me, Donald Trump has got to be very careful 1225 01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:29,120 Speaker 1: because it is a swamp in d C. And while 1226 01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:32,600 Speaker 1: I guess there's agreement on taxes and seven brackets to 1227 01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:37,320 Speaker 1: three and a corporate tax, although Ryan wants a corporate tax, 1228 01:02:37,360 --> 01:02:41,120 Speaker 1: I prefer the fiferent and repatriation and energy independence and 1229 01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:44,760 Speaker 1: building the wall or you know, there's some agreement on 1230 01:02:44,800 --> 01:02:47,680 Speaker 1: some things, but if you really want to get the 1231 01:02:47,720 --> 01:02:50,560 Speaker 1: reforms that he wants, If he wants to get those reforms, 1232 01:02:50,560 --> 01:02:54,840 Speaker 1: he's got to understand that every time we get a 1233 01:02:54,960 --> 01:02:58,400 Speaker 1: tax increase and spending cuts. We only get the tax 1234 01:02:58,480 --> 01:03:02,240 Speaker 1: increase and the spending are pushed way down the line, 1235 01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:06,320 Speaker 1: and they never happened. Every time we talk about border security, 1236 01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:09,880 Speaker 1: you get the amnesty, you get the forgiveness upfront, but 1237 01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:13,919 Speaker 1: you never get the wall. And that's just the way 1238 01:03:14,080 --> 01:03:19,040 Speaker 1: Washington works, and he needs to be fundamentally aware of 1239 01:03:19,040 --> 01:03:22,800 Speaker 1: what he is dealing with there. These are people Democrats 1240 01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:26,560 Speaker 1: and Republicans that the only thing they really seem to 1241 01:03:26,560 --> 01:03:30,120 Speaker 1: care about is getting reelected. You know, infrastructure, you're gonna 1242 01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:32,640 Speaker 1: spend a trillion dollars. You better pay for it as 1243 01:03:32,680 --> 01:03:35,120 Speaker 1: you go. Figure out a way to pay for it, 1244 01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:38,560 Speaker 1: unleashing America's resources. That would be at least a good 1245 01:03:38,560 --> 01:03:41,160 Speaker 1: way to start when the money comes in, I'd do 1246 01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:43,720 Speaker 1: it to spend as you go, but I'd also pick 1247 01:03:43,800 --> 01:03:45,919 Speaker 1: somebody like this guy we had on earlier today, Joe 1248 01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:48,840 Speaker 1: Max Higgins, and I'd give put him in charge, have 1249 01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:52,880 Speaker 1: Congress appropriate the money to him so they don't have 1250 01:03:52,960 --> 01:03:55,360 Speaker 1: any say in this. They can send in their request, 1251 01:03:55,840 --> 01:03:59,080 Speaker 1: they can give him ideas, but ultimately you need an 1252 01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:03,400 Speaker 1: outsider that's not gonna benefit from that money in charge 1253 01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:07,600 Speaker 1: of that money arose it's never gonna work. Just telling you. 1254 01:04:07,640 --> 01:04:10,400 Speaker 1: I've been around this game too long. I know how 1255 01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:12,960 Speaker 1: this all works. All right, let's go to our busy 1256 01:04:13,240 --> 01:04:17,960 Speaker 1: telephones here. Adam is in Montana, Adam High, how are you? 1257 01:04:18,040 --> 01:04:21,480 Speaker 1: And We're glad you called? Thanks Sean love you love 1258 01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:23,240 Speaker 1: your show. I've been listening for a long time. And 1259 01:04:23,720 --> 01:04:26,080 Speaker 1: I'm a guy that used to be a liberal Democrat 1260 01:04:26,200 --> 01:04:29,480 Speaker 1: and was sanitized. Oh, thank you used to How long 1261 01:04:29,520 --> 01:04:32,640 Speaker 1: were you a Democrat? Oh? I was a musician in 1262 01:04:32,720 --> 01:04:36,320 Speaker 1: Los Angeles, playing forever. You know, growing up my dad 1263 01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:39,040 Speaker 1: was a Reagan night and back then, you know, we 1264 01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:43,440 Speaker 1: just flashed heads all the time. But anyway, my question 1265 01:04:43,520 --> 01:04:45,919 Speaker 1: to you is, did your heart think a little bit 1266 01:04:46,360 --> 01:04:50,760 Speaker 1: when Trump brought a Lane Show to the fold and 1267 01:04:50,760 --> 01:04:54,320 Speaker 1: and and Corker? These are that's not draining the swamp 1268 01:04:54,360 --> 01:04:56,840 Speaker 1: is As far as I'm I'm not a fan of 1269 01:04:57,080 --> 01:04:59,120 Speaker 1: I don't know Lane Show. I know she was Labor 1270 01:04:59,160 --> 01:05:01,680 Speaker 1: Secretary for some period of time. I know she's related 1271 01:05:01,680 --> 01:05:04,960 Speaker 1: to Minch McConnell. It's his wife. Um, you know that's 1272 01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:08,120 Speaker 1: not the biggest assignment to me in my mind, And 1273 01:05:08,560 --> 01:05:11,000 Speaker 1: you know I'm looking at some of the other appointments 1274 01:05:11,040 --> 01:05:14,360 Speaker 1: that I view as far more critical. I am a 1275 01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:17,880 Speaker 1: little concerned about some of the past positions of divorce 1276 01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:21,280 Speaker 1: at education. I do like Mad Dog Matt it's as 1277 01:05:21,320 --> 01:05:25,520 Speaker 1: as defense secretary. Um. You know, there's you know, look, 1278 01:05:25,560 --> 01:05:28,080 Speaker 1: I like Carson at at HUD. I think that's a 1279 01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:30,760 Speaker 1: good selection. I can't even remember them all off the 1280 01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:32,640 Speaker 1: top of my head. Look, there's good people out there. 1281 01:05:33,080 --> 01:05:35,640 Speaker 1: I don't know why we're agonizing and we're having a 1282 01:05:35,640 --> 01:05:38,440 Speaker 1: public I don't know. It's like a public trial, a 1283 01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:41,880 Speaker 1: public audition for everybody that wants to be secretary of State. 1284 01:05:41,920 --> 01:05:44,200 Speaker 1: But that's you know, Donald Trump's a smart Guy's way 1285 01:05:44,200 --> 01:05:48,520 Speaker 1: ahead of where other transition administrations coming in have been 1286 01:05:48,600 --> 01:05:52,040 Speaker 1: at this point in the transition. So I'm fine with it, um. 1287 01:05:52,080 --> 01:05:53,800 Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, it's got to 1288 01:05:53,840 --> 01:05:57,520 Speaker 1: be people that want to advance his agenda, not their 1289 01:05:57,520 --> 01:06:00,440 Speaker 1: own agendas. You know, they call it public service for 1290 01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:04,320 Speaker 1: a reason, and you're supposed to serve the public. Well, 1291 01:06:04,320 --> 01:06:07,080 Speaker 1: when you think of a servant, what does a servant do? Well, 1292 01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:09,680 Speaker 1: servant cooks your meals, I guess, cleans your house if 1293 01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:11,320 Speaker 1: you have a servant at your house. And by the way, 1294 01:06:11,320 --> 01:06:13,560 Speaker 1: I know that's not the politically correct term, you know 1295 01:06:13,560 --> 01:06:17,120 Speaker 1: what I mean. I'm making somebody who serves somebody else. 1296 01:06:17,680 --> 01:06:23,160 Speaker 1: Jesus served people when he was beaten and died on 1297 01:06:23,240 --> 01:06:27,440 Speaker 1: a cross to serve others. He washed the apostles feet, 1298 01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:31,880 Speaker 1: which I'm sure we're particularly disgusting, considering they were walking 1299 01:06:31,880 --> 01:06:36,280 Speaker 1: around in sandals and uh, we're probably pretty dirty. And 1300 01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:38,560 Speaker 1: it was accustomed to be gracious, and I'm sure it 1301 01:06:38,600 --> 01:06:40,360 Speaker 1: wasn't the most pleasant thing in the world to do, 1302 01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:44,600 Speaker 1: but it was a show of humility by Jesus. Okay. 1303 01:06:44,680 --> 01:06:47,280 Speaker 1: I don't see a lot of politicians that have the 1304 01:06:47,320 --> 01:06:51,200 Speaker 1: idea of public service in their minds. There are some. 1305 01:06:51,920 --> 01:06:55,960 Speaker 1: I don't speak with a broad sweeping generalization here, but 1306 01:06:56,040 --> 01:06:59,640 Speaker 1: that's what I'm really wanting.

I 1325 01:08:02,120 --> 01:08:05,720 Speaker 1: was m seeing that event at the Cobb Galleria in Georgia. 1326 01:08:05,920 --> 01:08:09,120 Speaker 1: We're really good friends. He knows when I'm tweaking, and 1327 01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:13,520 Speaker 1: he knows what I'm playing with him and he plays along.

I just want you 1333 01:08:27,040 --> 01:08:30,720 Speaker 1: know we enjoyed that little fun interaction between you and 1334 01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:35,200 Speaker 1: Newton Lauren. But hey, Sean, I'm the Supreme Court, Pip. 1335 01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:39,960 Speaker 1: There's there's no listen. I feel like I'm a second 1336 01:08:40,040 --> 01:08:44,080 Speaker 1: you and in the Democrats will not they play to win. 1337 01:08:44,320 --> 01:08:48,120 Speaker 1: I guarantee you they are going to do a recess 1338 01:08:48,200 --> 01:08:51,759 Speaker 1: appointment with this Garland or whatever his name is after 1339 01:08:51,880 --> 01:08:54,759 Speaker 1: January three, whenever they're gonna do it, because they're gonna 1340 01:08:55,160 --> 01:08:58,439 Speaker 1: flip the finger too to everybody. And I'm also willing 1341 01:08:58,479 --> 01:09:01,320 Speaker 1: to bet you I believe he's gonna do it. I 1342 01:09:01,360 --> 01:09:04,719 Speaker 1: cann't want you to be thinking on that and getting 1343 01:09:04,720 --> 01:09:06,840 Speaker 1: the battle plan for it. And I also think he's 1344 01:09:06,880 --> 01:09:09,040 Speaker 1: in a pardon Hillary. I'm willing to bet that he's 1345 01:09:09,080 --> 01:09:12,880 Speaker 1: gonna pardon Hillary, do the recess appointment, and pardon Hillary. 1346 01:09:12,920 --> 01:09:15,840 Speaker 1: I think those bombs are common because they will do 1347 01:09:15,960 --> 01:09:21,160 Speaker 1: anything well. I don't doubt at all on the Hillary issue. Um, 1348 01:09:21,200 --> 01:09:23,120 Speaker 1: I don't doubt a lot of things that he's gonna 1349 01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:24,800 Speaker 1: do on the way out are gonna be pretty ugly 1350 01:09:24,960 --> 01:09:29,880 Speaker 1: and and pretty shocking. I think he doesn't care and 1351 01:09:30,040 --> 01:09:32,880 Speaker 1: he really doesn't have a whole lot to hang onto 1352 01:09:32,920 --> 01:09:35,960 Speaker 1: in terms of a legacy. Do you realize because Obama 1353 01:09:36,040 --> 01:09:41,120 Speaker 1: acted so unconstitutionally and illegally so often that Donald Trump 1354 01:09:41,200 --> 01:09:45,960 Speaker 1: will probably spend the first hours of his presidency undoing 1355 01:09:46,240 --> 01:09:51,920 Speaker 1: eight of the Obama presidency, which was executive order, fiat, etcetera. 1356 01:09:52,640 --> 01:09:55,080 Speaker 1: I mean, then Obamacare gets taken away. What's let what 1357 01:09:55,240 --> 01:09:58,600 Speaker 1: is his legacy but poverty, food stamps, a doubling of 1358 01:09:58,640 --> 01:10:01,799 Speaker 1: the debt, the Iranic, the Any Deal, Uh, the creation 1359 01:10:01,880 --> 01:10:06,960 Speaker 1: of Isis, Benghazi, Libya, North Africa. Uh, the emergence or 1360 01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:11,160 Speaker 1: reemergence of Russia, and putin There's there's no legacy here. 1361 01:10:11,880 --> 01:10:14,920 Speaker 1: You're gonna watch and I'm sure CNN, the Clinton News 1362 01:10:14,960 --> 01:10:17,720 Speaker 1: Network and MSNBC will try and thread the needle and 1363 01:10:17,760 --> 01:10:21,000 Speaker 1: make something up that he did, and they'll use the 1364 01:10:21,120 --> 01:10:24,519 Speaker 1: unemployment number that's when it went in half. Yeah, of 1365 01:10:24,560 --> 01:10:26,960 Speaker 1: course it goes in half when you don't count half 1366 01:10:27,000 --> 01:10:29,040 Speaker 1: the people that are still unemployed, but you don't count 1367 01:10:29,120 --> 01:10:33,320 Speaker 1: him anymore. It's so idiotic, But I mean whatever, it's 1368 01:10:33,400 --> 01:10:37,240 Speaker 1: kind of stupid to me anyway. I UM, I would 1369 01:10:37,240 --> 01:10:39,839 Speaker 1: say to the Republicans on the recess appointment in the Senate, 1370 01:10:40,040 --> 01:10:43,120 Speaker 1: don't shut the Senate down, keep him in session. Just 1371 01:10:43,280 --> 01:10:46,400 Speaker 1: keep it in session, like they've done before. In fairness 1372 01:10:46,439 --> 01:10:51,120 Speaker 1: to McConnell, he did it before, he can do it again. Uh. 1373 01:10:51,120 --> 01:10:55,320 Speaker 1: Tom is in Altoona, p A, Pennsylvania, the now swing 1374 01:10:55,479 --> 01:10:59,760 Speaker 1: red state. How are you hi? I'm good. I just 1375 01:10:59,760 --> 01:11:02,360 Speaker 1: want to say Trump needs to focus on pushing it 1376 01:11:02,400 --> 01:11:07,400 Speaker 1: in agenda and not worrying about compromising with Democrats right now, 1377 01:11:07,439 --> 01:11:09,479 Speaker 1: because if he does, he's gonna get rolled by them. 1378 01:11:10,560 --> 01:11:14,599 Speaker 1: I mean, they're vicious and they won't stuff at anything. 1379 01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:20,840 Speaker 1: I have told many people that the that are around 1380 01:11:21,560 --> 01:11:26,000 Speaker 1: the President elect exactly that thing. Look, I'm telling you 1381 01:11:26,080 --> 01:11:29,000 Speaker 1: right now things are gonna get ugly. You've got all 1382 01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:31,680 Speaker 1: the signs, all the evidence, all the indications that the 1383 01:11:31,800 --> 01:11:35,639 Speaker 1: left is not accepting defeat. They're not gonna go away. 1384 01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:39,040 Speaker 1: They're gonna do exactly what they did during the Bush years. 1385 01:11:39,560 --> 01:11:42,880 Speaker 1: They're the looney left is going to emerge, and it 1386 01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:45,800 Speaker 1: just is what it is. And I just think it's 1387 01:11:46,280 --> 01:11:48,240 Speaker 1: you know, if they put Keith tell Us in, great, 1388 01:11:48,280 --> 01:11:51,400 Speaker 1: they keep Nancy Pelosi, I'm all for that. They want 1389 01:11:51,400 --> 01:11:54,640 Speaker 1: to go looney left, I'm I'm all for it. And 1390 01:11:54,680 --> 01:11:59,720 Speaker 1: if Donald Trump. Look, conservatism works. The reason that I 1391 01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:05,200 Speaker 1: warned about Obama because the very things that happened, the 1392 01:12:05,200 --> 01:12:09,439 Speaker 1: the labor participation rate, the poverty rate, the numbers of 1393 01:12:09,479 --> 01:12:12,360 Speaker 1: people on food stamps, the doubling of the debt. You 1394 01:12:12,400 --> 01:12:15,519 Speaker 1: know I warned about foreign policy. The one thing I'll 1395 01:12:15,520 --> 01:12:21,320 Speaker 1: say about Obama he is a rigid radical ideologue. And 1396 01:12:21,400 --> 01:12:24,000 Speaker 1: say what you will about Bill Clinton. I was never 1397 01:12:24,080 --> 01:12:27,320 Speaker 1: a fan of his. Bill Clinton was a lot smarter, 1398 01:12:27,960 --> 01:12:33,640 Speaker 1: far more pragmatic, pragmatic and far less ideological than Obama. 1399 01:12:34,280 --> 01:12:36,799 Speaker 1: And Hillary was more like Obama than her own husband, 1400 01:12:37,360 --> 01:12:40,519 Speaker 1: inasmuch as you know, when give me one example where 1401 01:12:40,560 --> 01:12:44,400 Speaker 1: Obama had a Sister Soldier moment, give me one example 1402 01:12:44,400 --> 01:12:48,719 Speaker 1: where he said something unpredictable, The era of big government 1403 01:12:48,960 --> 01:12:52,599 Speaker 1: is over, the end of welfare as we know it now. 1404 01:12:52,720 --> 01:12:56,680 Speaker 1: You can argue that New Gingrich's election and a Republican 1405 01:12:56,720 --> 01:12:58,920 Speaker 1: Congress for the first time in forty years had a 1406 01:12:58,960 --> 01:13:03,240 Speaker 1: pretty dramatic impact on them President Clinton, but it doesn't matter. 1407 01:13:03,280 --> 01:13:06,280 Speaker 1: At least there are examples where he got it. He 1408 01:13:06,400 --> 01:13:12,080 Speaker 1: understood the the electorate that they were speaking loudly to him, 1409 01:13:12,600 --> 01:13:17,360 Speaker 1: rejecting Hillary Care and his way of governance. And lo 1410 01:13:17,520 --> 01:13:19,719 Speaker 1: and behold, it was one of those rare times where 1411 01:13:19,880 --> 01:13:22,400 Speaker 1: you have a democratic president going along with a strong 1412 01:13:23,360 --> 01:13:27,200 Speaker 1: vision from a strong congressman. I viewed Newt as a 1413 01:13:27,200 --> 01:13:30,160 Speaker 1: bit of a visionary, great historian, and they were able 1414 01:13:30,200 --> 01:13:32,800 Speaker 1: to balance the budget. We haven't done it since, and 1415 01:13:32,800 --> 01:13:35,560 Speaker 1: it would be nice to see it happen again. It 1416 01:13:35,640 --> 01:13:38,800 Speaker 1: would like I'd like to see him these years government 1417 01:13:38,880 --> 01:13:42,640 Speaker 1: bureaucracies transformed. You know why did I spend time on 1418 01:13:42,680 --> 01:13:45,559 Speaker 1: the program today talking about, well, if you're gonna spend 1419 01:13:45,560 --> 01:13:48,000 Speaker 1: a trillion dollars in infrastructure, give it to the Higgins, 1420 01:13:48,080 --> 01:13:51,040 Speaker 1: give it to the coach Because I know how these 1421 01:13:51,080 --> 01:13:55,320 Speaker 1: people act in d C. And they're not changing. You know, 1422 01:13:55,439 --> 01:13:57,200 Speaker 1: some of them will go along with the flow, but 1423 01:13:57,240 --> 01:14:00,719 Speaker 1: as soon as the tide in their mind lines begins 1424 01:14:00,760 --> 01:14:03,120 Speaker 1: to shift, it's just gonna be like Hillary voting for 1425 01:14:03,160 --> 01:14:06,000 Speaker 1: the war and pulling out. They're not standing on principles 1426 01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:08,840 Speaker 1: that guide them. They're standing on Oh, let me put 1427 01:14:08,880 --> 01:14:11,080 Speaker 1: my finger in the air, let me see which way 1428 01:14:11,120 --> 01:14:13,720 Speaker 1: the winds blowing, and let me catch the wind, and 1429 01:14:13,720 --> 01:14:16,599 Speaker 1: I'll surf on with the wind at my back. Always 1430 01:14:16,640 --> 01:14:18,360 Speaker 1: they always want the wind at their back, they never 1431 01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:20,519 Speaker 1: want it in their face. Well, I want the guys 1432 01:14:20,600 --> 01:14:23,120 Speaker 1: that can accept that the wind is not always gonna 1433 01:14:23,160 --> 01:14:25,000 Speaker 1: be at your back in life, and life is a 1434 01:14:25,040 --> 01:14:27,479 Speaker 1: little tougher than that, and you're gonna have head winds. 1435 01:14:27,800 --> 01:14:29,600 Speaker 1: And when you have head winds, your job is to 1436 01:14:29,640 --> 01:14:31,800 Speaker 1: plow through and fight for the things you believe it. 1437 01:14:31,880 --> 01:14:35,400 Speaker 1: That's why the Reagan presidency was so successful. I'd argue, 1438 01:14:35,520 --> 01:14:39,080 Speaker 1: that's why New King Ridge's governance was so successful. And 1439 01:14:39,160 --> 01:14:40,960 Speaker 1: what did New Kingridge get for? He got thrown out. 1440 01:14:41,040 --> 01:14:43,160 Speaker 1: There's only so much time that that he had the 1441 01:14:43,160 --> 01:14:45,880 Speaker 1: good will of Congress, and and finally they blew up 1442 01:14:45,880 --> 01:14:48,840 Speaker 1: on him and they abandoned him. That's how I view it. 1443 01:14:48,960 --> 01:14:51,160 Speaker 1: And I'm sure some will think they were so principled 1444 01:14:51,160 --> 01:14:53,080 Speaker 1: and what they were doing, That's not really what happened. 1445 01:14:53,120 --> 01:14:55,320 Speaker 1: You know. I saw that the winds will shift against 1446 01:14:55,360 --> 01:14:58,240 Speaker 1: Donald Trump, and probably sooner than later. The media has 1447 01:14:58,280 --> 01:15:06,120 Speaker 1: already latched on to doing everything they can do to smear, slander, besmirch, undermine, 1448 01:15:06,280 --> 01:15:09,200 Speaker 1: and destroy the Trump presidency before he's even taken office. 1449 01:15:09,320 --> 01:15:12,320 Speaker 1: The games are only beginning. I'm telling everybody you know, 1450 01:15:12,360 --> 01:15:14,840 Speaker 1: go have your nice Christmas vacation, because when we come 1451 01:15:14,880 --> 01:15:16,880 Speaker 1: back in January, you better be ready to hit the 1452 01:15:16,880 --> 01:15:20,879 Speaker 1: ground running and buckle up. You've got very rocky waters 1453 01:15:20,880 --> 01:15:22,560 Speaker 1: ahead of you. And the only thing I'd say to 1454 01:15:22,640 --> 01:15:25,760 Speaker 1: President elect Trump, don't trust these people, none of them. 1455 01:15:25,840 --> 01:15:29,200 Speaker 1: They're not your friends. If you want a friend in Washington, 1456 01:15:29,439 --> 01:15:32,360 Speaker 1: I'll buy you a dog. Okay, I'll buy you any 1457 01:15:32,400 --> 01:15:34,759 Speaker 1: puppy you want, you can have it. I'm not gonna 1458 01:15:34,800 --> 01:15:37,599 Speaker 1: rescue I buy real dogs. Look at little go ahead, 1459 01:15:37,600 --> 01:15:39,479 Speaker 1: put your mike on. It was a joke. Say it. 1460 01:15:39,600 --> 01:15:41,439 Speaker 1: Say what you want to say, Swallow. You should just 1461 01:15:41,479 --> 01:15:44,240 Speaker 1: say you're gonna rescue a dog. Rescue a dog. You 1462 01:15:44,360 --> 01:15:47,240 Speaker 1: rescue dogs, dogs needs. There are plenty of dogs that 1463 01:15:47,280 --> 01:15:49,839 Speaker 1: need to be rescued.
