A highlight from Neglect of Domestic Issues: Americas Growing Concerns with Karoline Leavitt
"Donald Trump is the only candidate in America, on both sides, that cannot be bought. He is running because he loves this country, he loves this country's people, and he wants to save it from the hell that Joe Biden has put it through. Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests, and my fellow citizens, America's comeback now. starts right All right, welcome back Financial Guys Media Network, Mike Sbarroza, in for another exclusive interview today. I have the pleasure of having Caroline Levitt, a spokeswoman for MAGA, Inc. with me today. Caroline, thanks for joining us. Thank you so much for having me, Mike. I appreciate it. Absolutely. So if you didn't get the hint, MAGA, Inc., she is working, you know, I shouldn't say for the president, but working on the president in terms of the campaign and plugging what he does really well. Caroline, I've seen you on Newsmax, I've seen you on Fox News, a lot of different places, and you've said a lot of great things. I saw you go at it with a Ron DeSantis campaigner the other day, I liked that, that was a lot of fun. Let me just talk about a few talking points, though, about the president and issues that the left is now claiming the president has. So just this week, he was in, was it New Hampshire he was in, South Carolina it was. Yeah. And he went to a gun store and now they're saying that he violated his legal obligations, he went and bought a gun. From everybody that was there said that was not true. Your thoughts on the left now saying he should be put in jail for buying a firearm. Honestly, it's completely unsurprising at this point. They will do and say anything that they possibly can to try and attack President Trump. He was visiting a small business, visiting a gun store in the great state of South Carolina. The owners there are big supporters of his, and they had gifted him a Glock that was ingrained with Trump 45. And then the Democrats, you know, absolutely went ballistic in trying to say that he was violating laws. And it's just ridiculous. This is how, this is what they do. They go after President Trump for absolutely everything, but then they turn a blind eye to the real crimes committed by their own party, namely Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden, who almost evaded charges on a federal gun violation, which he's now facing an indictment for with an attorney that was handpicked by Merrick Garland, who's from Biden's home state. So the corruption goes on and on and the Democrat side of the media says nothing, but they're constantly attacking the former president. Voters see right through this crap, really doesn't matter. You'll see that in the polls shortly.

Assistant Attorney General Kent Liu made the prosecution's opening statement telling the jury the officers failed in one of their primary duties to care for someone in their custody, especially under Instead, Lou said the officers ignored what turned out to be Manny Ellis's last word. The only thing he said was, I can't breathe, sir. We know that all these three defendants say heard it. him Lou described how Ellis offered no resistance when the officers confronted him in Tacoma on March 2nd, 2020, wrestled him to the pavement and tased him three times.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is picking up several endorsements here in Washington State. We get more Northwest from News Radio's Jeff Pojola. Lining up behind DeSantis are several key Republicans including former state party chair Susan Hutchison, State Senator Phil Fortunato and King County Councilman Reagan Dunn. I think he is the right person to lead the Republican Party and provide the best choice against what looks like a Joe Biden up for a second term. But Dunn concedes that Donald Trump is still more than 40 points ahead in the national polls. Hutchison, Fortunato and Dunn have all joined Ron DeSantis' campaign team here in Washington.

A highlight from Prioritizing American Families: A Disconnect with Career Politicians with Stefan Mychajliw
"American families are struggling to put gas in their car to pay six dollars a gallon. They're struggling to buy milk and eggs and groceries. People are really hurting in Joe Biden's America. The difference was crystal clear on that debate stage. The vague ramasami talked about his positive America First vision of how he's going to improve the American economy, put money in the pockets of people. Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests and my fellow citizens, America's comeback starts right now. We are live with Vivek Ramaswamy, deputy communications director and friend of the financial guys, Stefan Mihailu. Stefan, how are you? That's right. I'm a financial guys client and deputy comms director for Vivek Ramaswamy. I say that's a great one -two punch. That is. It's a great thing. So tell us a little bit about the overall feeling from Team Vivek or the Vivek camp, I should say, about the debate this past week. Well, I actually drove over with Vivek Ramaswamy here to the Reagan Library and there was a mission to do two things. One, let Vivek be Vivek, be presidential, be above the fray. We knew the attacks were coming. We knew the career politicians on that stage were going to attack Vivek Ramaswamy. And why? Because if you're, you know, getting kicked in the rear, that means you're out in front. So we're wholeheartedly expecting attacks from career politicians is exactly what happened. And so I'd be very concerned if a lot of the career politicians on the stage did not attack Vivek Ramaswamy. They did, and we are more than pleased with his sharing of the American people, what his America First vision is to build on the success of Donald Trump, to build on what Donald Trump laid down that foundation with Vivek Ramaswamy as a candidate for president now in 2024. So you mentioned being the hunted, and I talked to you at a different interview about this, but in debate number one, Stefan, people were trying to just learn who Vivek was at that point, right? He had a couple of zingers. He had a pretty good performance in debate one, but as debate one ended, he was getting attacked and mauled by everybody on the debate stage that night. And then debate two, they started right after him right from the get go. And I do agree with you. I think that was a very interesting thing to see. Hey, you know, and I'll tell you, Ron DeSantis didn't take that right. That beating that, or that, that try to take a beating like that. Nikki Haley didn't, Tim Scott didn't, they were going after one, well, two people, Donald Trump and Vivek Ramaswamy on that debate stage. I was really shocked at the fact that now Chris Christie has a potential running mate in his campaign of vengeance and anger and grievance against Donald Trump. And it's Ron DeSantis. Ron DeSantis attacked not only Vivek Ramaswamy, but Ron DeSantis attacked Donald Trump and Vivek Ramaswamy appeared presidential. He's staying above the fray and he's letting the American people know he's not running against Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis or any politician on that stage. Vivek Ramaswamy is running for the American people. So while we were in the green room, basically watching the debate unfold, we were very thrilled that all the queer politicians went after Vivek Ramaswamy and look, it's no different than what the queer politicians did in 2016 against Donald Trump. History repeated itself. The fact that they were going after Donald Trump in 2016 and they're doing the same thing with Vivek Ramaswamy. So let's look at a couple of those attacks that he received, Stefan. Number one was the TikTok, the TikTok attack with him doing a video. Was it Jake Paul or one of the Paul brothers? Many of the candidates on the debate stage had an issue with him doing any type of TikTok due to the China influence with TikTok. Your thoughts on that or Vivek's thoughts on that? Well, look, Vivek Ramaswamy did business in China. He saw how basically dirty and crooked the process was. So what did he do? As he said on the debate stage, he got the hell out. Now compare that with Apple and Nike and LeBron James who stayed in China, who's profiting from China. So Vivek Ramaswamy says all the time he is going to declare independence from America's greatest enemy and that is communist China. And who better to take out an enemy than someone who knows the enemy. And so as far as TikTok is concerned as well, look, Republicans, shockingly, are in the business of basically not playing within the rules and parameters of a campaign and letting Democrats run all over us for the past few decades. The Democrats are on TikTok. That's how you reach young voters. And that's exactly what Vivek Ramaswamy is going to do. Play by the rules and reach young voters. So I want to ask that question because Jake Paul actually tweeted about Vivek this week about this exact issue and I agreed with what Jake Paul said. The majority of young people between the ages of let's call it 12 and 30, their primary platform is TikTok, right? I mean, that's where they are. And was this totally calculated by Vivek Ramaswamy to get into that voting base because everybody's on Twitter, everybody's on Instagram, but TikTok and everyone can have their feelings on TikTok, Stefan. I don't personally love it either, but was this a calculated move? Vivek has feelings on TikTok. He is crystal clear about empowering parents to make sure that kids 16 and under are not on any social media platform, because as he says all the time, we don't like kids engage in highly addictive drugs like alcohol or tobacco at a very young age. And so Vivek Ramaswamy, his president, says he'll do the same with social media, empower parents and make sure they know that their kids are not on any of these platforms when it comes to running for president of the United States, you have to talk to voters in every means necessary. The Democrats are taking advantage of this medium and so too is Vivek Ramaswamy. We're here to win an election and talk to young voters. That's the way he's doing it. Before we get into the specific issues of the debate last night, I do want to talk about two quick things. Number one, what was Team Vivek's thought about the way that that was moderated, the way that the debate went? It looked very sloppy from afar. I was not in the room. I was not there like you were, but it looked very sloppy. It looked very messy with people talking over each other, people going over on their time, the moderators not asking pointed questions, getting lost in the shuffle. What were the thoughts from Team Vivek? Well, look, as a former news anchor, I know how hard it is to basically try and round up feral cats and get them to play by the rules. For the most part, Vivek Ramaswamy did. The most important rule that he honored was Reagan's 11th commandment, speak no ill will of a fellow Republican. That was the most important rule when it comes to either the moderators or the debate platform or being here in Reagan's presidential library. Don't speak ill will of a fellow Republican. Vivek honored that commandment. He talked about his positive America First vision, how he's basically going to increase and strengthen GDP growth, strengthen and protect the border using the US military to bomb cartels, keep us out of World War III, all the other career politicians on that stage just in the same way they treated Donald Trump in 2016. They wanted to attack and attack and attack not only a fellow Republican, but a business owner and political outsider. It happened eight years ago in 2016. It happened again in the second GOP debate here at the Reagan Library.
Bloomberg Surveillance
Fresh "Desantis" from Bloomberg Surveillance
"Means that basically states needs a simple majority so if he gets a few Republicans on board with all Democrats then the speaker will likely be vacated but there's also potential that there could be a motion to table which would you know basically stop the vote from happening in the first place maybe you're a beast on this I mean you're Politico and folks there's got to be somebody at Politico who actually monitors social media you know they have no life they work 85 hours a week you know they sleep and they look at tweet deck yep that was Maeve that's what Maeve did in a previous life is Gaetz swayed by the Beltway zeitgeist it all or is he just completely removed from it he's so that there are some rumors bounding that he might consider running for governor so he's less concerned about DC politics and more concerned about things at home you know Ron DeSantis' term limits out after this year so I think that that's probably where his focus lies right now is more on Florida than on DC politics as a whole Maeve what do we think the Democrats are going to do here I guess the question is will the Democrats come to the aid and support of the speaker or not what do we what's the calculus there the the political calculus Democrats are actually meeting right now and a big part of their meeting is going to be discussed how to proceed if just a few of them vote present so you know just basically don't vote on this they could potentially flip and the math make McCarthy keep his seat but Democrats even centrists have said that McCarthy will need to make some concessions if that's the case and at least publicly McCarthy has said that he's not willing to do that so give us a sense of timing here it feels like it's going to be a quick quick move here if there's anything that actually happens McCarthy said that he would like to bring the vote at about 2 p .m. today and that after what happens is probably a motion to table you know so a motion to basically say let's not do this vote and after that if the motion to table is successful then this will kind of be out of McCarthy's hands and he'll be fine if not it's then we'll have to move forward with a vote sometime in the next couple of days. And without whatever the outcome and I know Mr. Scalise of Louisiana has been mentioned but is there just a is there like a speaker of the deck? Yeah McCarthy when he first took the speakership he wrote a private name that went to the house clerk basically and if he is ousted then that person would become acting the speaker as they presided over election for a new speaker. It's not clear who the new speaker Steve -O, Scalise has been floated, Todd Emmer the whip has been floated so there's a lot of uncertainty around that. So I guess the question is if you're the Democrats you know I know what I've got with McCarthy I'm not sure what I may get with a new speaker. Have we heard from has there been anything from the White House this administration about how they'd like to see it play out? The White House has been pretty quiet on this although I will say that McCarthy did wear out some of his goodwill with the White House after the debt ceiling negotiations. There was some agreement on top -line numbers and the White House saw that as what appropriations bills would be written at and then the House actually ended up writing them at a lower number. So the White House sees McCarthy as having broken that deal which it kind of causes some feelings there. Also the impeachment inquiry that McCarthy announced also kind of complicates that relationship. We really don't care about Washington but the only reason we have to be fair and balanced here at Bloomberg Surveillance. I have been so duked out that I gotta go to 14th ranked UNC and they got a ginormous setup of two games here. They're playing Syracuse. Okay big game sold out. And then Miami ranked 17th shows up. This is real football Paul. Real football on tobacco road. Maeve you know please help us here with the durability of UNC football. Are they for destined a ballgame this year? It's still early you know they'll be fine they'll come back. But the real question is are they going to be able to field a basketball team this year? I think yes. I think we're going to do great in March. She's never coming out again. Maeve she thank you so much. This is great. Maeve you got to be on weekly here. We got to have the UNC hour with Maeve. Thank you so much. Thank you very And of course McCarthy and Gaetz very seriously folks working right now Gaetz scheduled to be with Amory Horton Joe and Matthew last night had to cancel it was that right had a small matter on the floor and he will be with Amory and Joe here in the coming days are working his people are you know what's so cool about this is his people are talking to the balance of power people we don't have any people we are the people but when you're in Washington you have people you have people are talking to their people and we'll move that forward but look to balance of power are tonight some key guests on tonight as well Paul explain the basketball rival rivalry for international audience in the how many it's like eleven miles eleven miles ten ten eleven miles between Durham North Carolina home of Duke University in Chapel Hill the home of that trade school over there University of North Carolina Apple Chapel Hill so they're really close and you know religion yeah it's religion and it's just a great great rivalry and the Eve so evenly matched every year in basketball that it just each game is really really a tough game we play him twice the minimum twice a year every year and then sometimes in the ACC tournament and sometimes in the NCAA tournament so legendary coaches over the year legendary players over the years so it's just been a great rivalry and you know we'll see I'm sure it's going to be another one another great season this season but now we've actually got football to talk about which we never talked we never talked about it it's like a dynamo UNC ranked 14th Duke 19th 19th okay We put up a good game against Notre Dame. It was a good game, I watched some. And it looked great on TV, the stands are packed. David called Rubenstein me I up have an important question though, you mentioned the ACC, as go we to March Madness are they going to blow up college basketball like they're blowing up college football yep it's the whole thing so we're gonna be playing Cal and Stanford as you're gonna have a league match yep at Duke against Stanford yep we're gonna travel out to the area and play Stanford play for game accounts yep so I think that starts next year as a matter of fact so very quick the whole it's we're ending up with two super conferences in this country the big 10 and the SEC the ACC is trying to figure out what to do here and so the solution was let's bring in some more West Coast schools out of the Pac -12 we're start gonna with a super data check we start with bonds actually let me give you the Dow negative 69 tape is improved in the last 20 minutes to your your 5 .08 percent lower yield in the last two hours but Wow statistics 4 .70 on the 10 -year yield I'm watching the bank rate 30 I don't have that number yesterday yet today yesterday seven point at that zero percent in the bank rate at 30 migrating to seven point eight percent yeah I feel pretty good with my six percent mortgage yeah you should I thought I was a Trump John Tucker's with Trump at the time 325 300 a month for a mortgage and you're for 1 ,500 in the city oh you know mailbox post office box now what you're committing charges per mile that is up to close to
The Eric Metaxas Show
A highlight from Kevin McCullough
"Welcome to the Eric Mataxas Show. Do you like your gravy thick and rich and loaded with creamy mushrooms? If no one was looking, would you chug the whole gravy boat? Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Stay tuned. Here comes Mr. Chug -a -Lug himself, Eric Mataxas. Hey folks, welcome to the program. If you're like me, last night you were able to watch the debate and you deliberately skipped it for your mental health. That's just where I am in life right now. I caught parts of it which made me wince and cringe, sometimes wince and cringe. I never wept, but you know what, it's probably better for me to find out what my guest thought. He may have watched the debate. My friend, Kevin McCullough, we call you votes tridamus because you are a prognosticator, a seer, a prophet politically speaking. Kevin McCullough of that Kevin show, how are you? I'm well and I can see some things very clearly today. There should be no more debates. These exercises in futility, and that's what they've turned into, are becoming embarrassing to the cause of what this election should be about. And last night, it's just hard to put into words how bad this debate was, from its execution to the policies, to the answers. It was just nothing good about it. Some people in my audience care about this. I'm in Irvine, California. I'm in a hotel room you people can see. I'm speaking today, so today's Thursday in Costa Mesa. So if anybody wants to come and hold my hand and hug me about the sadness of the debate, or just talk to me or get book signed or whatever I'm going to be tonight in Costa Mesa, you go to my website, ericmataxas .com, and you can see me and talk to me and hang out and whatever tonight in Costa Mesa. This is Thursday, folks. And tomorrow, there's a prayer breakfast here in Irvine that I'm speaking at. But the reason I bring this up, Kevin, is because I rarely have time to turn on the TV. And last night, I realized, oh, I'm pretty wiped out. Let me turn on the TV. Let me just look at the debate just to see. I literally really couldn't bear to watch it. So as someone who watched it, I'm talking to you. Am I being cruel or unfair? Because it was unfair. What little I saw was genuinely unbearable. No, as I was saying just a second ago, from the way it was structured, to the execution, to the answers to the substance, the format's wild and out of control. There's not really a possibility of getting very deep on any one of the single questions. And I think a lot of the questions that are being asked are not the right ones. And so as I've watched, and I didn't watch all of last night's debate in real time, I caught up on a bunch of it after the fact. But as I've sat through both of them now, it is easy for me to ascertain that no one in this field on that stage last night is serious about becoming president. And they're not biting into the enormous lead that the former president has only built on since the first debate occurred. The first debate, they had 11 million viewers put to put that in perspective, Eric, in 2015. For the first debate, they had more than 15 million viewers in 2020. For the first debate, they had about 18 million viewers. You're talking about a diminishing return a, a much less interested Republican base watching these, and they're not they're not going anywhere. And in the meantime, it's putting even with some of our better idea people on display as amateurs, even with Doug Burgum on the stage, hard to believe. Yeah. That would be like a rematch between Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson. You're telling me people, Lisa Hutchinson was not able to be on the stage this time, as far as we know. Yeah, I think he took a, he took a face shot in the early rounds, and he was in his dressing room. Honestly, the thing there, what I said on Twitter this morning, was that they acted like it was 1985. We are living in a time in America, where most people see, we are in freefall, hell has been unleashed. Things have gotten so bad on so many fronts that it is, if you don't believe in God, which I do, and I trust in him, but if it weren't for that, I'd be scared to death. What is happening in this country? And they acted like it's 1985. And we're gonna, we're gonna have this conversation. And I thought, this is this is bad. I mean, the way the the deep state has been weaponized to go after Donald Trump, for example, I don't care if you're running against Trump, if you like Trump, but if that doesn't strike you as, as fundamentally un -American and sick as anything, as though, you know, we were being bombed by China, it's pretty bad. They seem not to be concerned. Well, they're responding to questions that have been supposedly thoughtfully put together by the moderators that are doing the debate. And Ron DeSantis did a little bit more of this last night, all of them to have done more of this, where he actually came with a little bit of an agenda to give little speeches every time that he was given the opportunity to speak. And he got more things out on the record than what he was asked about. But that should be the strategy of every candidate going into every debate. That should be the strategy of every thinker going on every media outlet that you can. Sometimes, Eric, it's better for me to go on Fox or Newsmax or somewhere and have something that I'm more intent on saying that what they want to ask me about. And if you're, if you're running for president in times of crisis, and I don't, I don't view the period that we're in right now as a peaceful time. We're not actively at war with anybody, but we are actively at war with evil on, on almost every front. So we need, there needs to be an urgency. There needs to be a sense of, we cannot phone it in and do it like we've done it in the past, especially knowing that we are going to run up against probably illicit, illegal, cheating schemes, trying to keep the election from actually being determined by the people that have the right to determine it. And before people criticize me for that, we've replaced the population of the bottom eight states in just illegal entries into the country over the last three years. Well, let's do that in a minute, because you wrote an article at townhall .com. That is one of the stunning nightmares that they acted like not, not really a big problem. But what you just said about cheating, I think most Americans know the Democrats cheat at elections. How is that not the most important thing to discuss when you're talking about a presidential election? Are you and I imagining, are millions and millions and millions and millions of Democrats actually cheat? Now they've done it for decades, but now we know that they have turned it into a science. They are at war with we, the people, they don't actually care about winning in a fair way. They just care about winning. How is that not unbelievably important and something that has to be discussed? But the Fox hosts and the Latina from Univision, which is another bizarre thing, they seem to act like January 6 was Trump supporters being violent. They seem to act like the election was fair. Biden won. What world are they living in? All of them. I don't know what to say. And obviously, I think Vivek and Ron DeSantis, they're the only two candidates that I can take seriously. I've got problems with them a little bit. But the whole thing was like, they were all play acting like we're living in a different America than the one most of us are living in. Well, I will hold one exception out to what you just said. And I believe that Nikki Haley had a sense of urgency about her last night. And she did in the first debate as well. And I think that's why she's now out polling DeSantis in several polls, is that people are beginning to understand that as a former governor, she probably has a shot at the VP pick. I don't think the VP pick is going to come out of this group. But if Trump did want one that I'm seeing kind of be serious on the issues that are the most pressing, she's the one that kind of gets the vote in terms of... I think of her as deep state, neo -con, next. All right. That's fine. I'm just saying in terms of her performance thus far. We've got you our wonderfully. I'm so glad that we do. We'll be right back.

The Financial Guys
Fresh update on "desantis" discussed on The Financial Guys
"What can happen in this debate or in the potential debate in November, if Trump goes, if Trump doesn't go, doesn't matter. What's the play for these other candidates, Caroline? Because Chris Christie's obviously is Trump's the worst. I can't stand him. That's Chris Christie's platform. The platform of the vague is very similar to that of Donald Trump. I really don't know what Ron DeSantis is doing to separate himself personally. What are the plays for these other people? I really don't know. That's a question you'd have to ask them. The only thing I know is that they are burning through millions and millions of dollars in their donors' cash. And their only return on investment is their plummet and demise in the polls. Nobody is catching up to Donald Trump. He has held a steady, commanding, dominant lead in this primary for months now. 30 points in Iowa, 30 points in New Hampshire, 40-plus points in many of the other early primary states. You've seen Ron DeSantis. He was the establishment darling, if you will, at the beginning of this primary. The legacy media was all about him. The corporate donor class that wants to try and buy our elections while we want to decide our elections were all about him too. Gave him hundreds of millions of dollars and he's burned it. And what has it gotten him? He's fifth in New Hampshire. He's fighting for his political life in second place in Iowa. He's now third or fourth maybe in South Carolina. And he's trending backwards and there's a couple of reasons. First of all, voters can smell a phony from a mile away. Ron DeSantis is a phony. He's a fake. He's owned by the corporate billionaire donor class. He's flip-flopped on multiple issues, particularly the war in Ukraine, which is the greatest foreign policy issue pressing the American people at this time. He called it a territorial dispute and one of his main billionaire donors didn't like that very much. And so just a couple of days later, Ron DeSantis walked that back and pledged to continually support the war in Ukraine. And so if he's already being pushed around now and he's not even our nominee, imagine what will happen when those donors feel as though they've bought him the White House. Donald Trump is the only candidate in America on both sides that cannot be bought. He is running because he loves this country. He loves this country's people. And he wants to save it from the hell that Joe Biden has put it through. Look at the record achievements that Donald Trump accomplished in his first term in office. You had a signing of the Abraham Accords, a Middle East peace agreement that no one could have ever dreamed of before an outsider like Donald Trump walked into the White House. You had record low unemployment for all Americans, Hispanic Americans, women, Black Americans. Everyone was making a heck of a lot more money than they are now under Bidenomics and Joe Biden. Our border was secure. Our law enforcement felt heard. There was peace around the world and also here at home. And so the American public wants that again. None of these other Republican candidates have a snowball's chance in hell at winning this nomination. And it's time for them, frankly, to suck up their ego, suck up their pride, and unify, drop out, endorse Donald Trump so we can take this fight and use these resources to go after Joe Biden and save our country.
The Eric Metaxas Show
A highlight from Gavin Wax
"Ladies and gentlemen, looking for something new and original, something unique and without equal. Look no further. Here comes the one and only Eric Mataxas. Hey there folks. Welcome. We have been told that tonight there's some kind of Republican debate. I'm not sure if that's a rumor, but it might be true. And in case it is, we thought maybe we should talk to somebody about it who can tell us what is going to happen. So we have back our friend Gavin Wax. He's with the New York Young Republicans. Gavin, welcome. Eric, it's great to be back and I'm looking forward to the vice presidential debate tonight. Oh, the vice presidential debate. Well, you know, I think Trump said it best that all these guys are looking for a job or trying to apply for a job. It's really just a job contest. No one actually on the stage is going to become president, certainly not this cycle. So we'll see how things unfold if that's how it's looking. It's funny and true, obviously. Many funny things are true. Many true things are funny, but you're right. Now, who tonight's debate? I'm planning not to watch it. What who has qualified, quote unquote, qualified to be in this debate? As far as I'm as I'm aware, it's nearly everyone from the original debate. I think maybe Asha Hutchinson has dropped off. You know, he was polling at, you know, point zero zero one. Now I think he's pointing at polling at point zero zero zero one. So, you know, that that decimal difference makes all the difference in getting on the stage. But you'll see the usual cast of characters. Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley, Tim Scott, Chris Christie, you know, those are the guys that are probably most will get most of the eyeballs, will get most of the attention. People will be seeing, you know, what they do, what they say, if they mess up, if they don't mess up. And then the others are basically just background actors, you know, just adding some ambiance to the stage, I assume. Yeah, it's really not ambiance, actually is the opposite of ambiance. But I know what you mean. Let me ask you, though, for sure. Chris Christie doesn't want to be Trump's vice president because he seems to be there only to express his peak and animus toward Donald Trump. He seems to to be there only to fulminate and to pummel the air with his horrible words against Donald Trump. Yeah, no, you're correct. He probably falls into the camp of people that is not that is not looking for a job, but it is on a on a revenge tour. Many people have accused President Trump of only running for a revenge tour type of campaign. But in fact, you look at individuals like Chris Christie, the only reason he's Donald J. Trump, President Trump, who he believes wronged him or slighted him after the whole presidential transition in 2016 or, you know, Christie didn't even do his job.

"Donald Trump is the only candidate in America, on both sides, that cannot be bought. He is running because he loves this country, he loves this country's people, and he wants to save it from the hell that Joe Biden has put it through. Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests, and my fellow citizens, America's comeback starts right now. All right, welcome back Financial Guys Media Network, Mike Sbarroza, in for another exclusive interview today. I have the pleasure of having Caroline Levitt, a spokeswoman for MAGA, Inc. with me today. Caroline, thanks for joining us. Thank you so much for having me, Mike. I appreciate it. Absolutely. So if you didn't get the hint, MAGA, Inc., she is working, you know, I shouldn't say for the president, but working on the president in terms of the campaign and plugging what he does really well. Caroline, I've seen you on Newsmax, I've seen you on Fox News, a lot of different places, and you've said a lot of great things. I saw you go at it with a Ron DeSantis campaigner the other day, I liked that, that was a lot of fun. Let me just talk about a few talking points, though, about the president and issues that the left is now claiming the president has. So just this week, he was in, was it New Hampshire he was in, South Carolina it was. Yeah. And he went to a gun store and now they're saying that he violated his legal obligations, he went and bought a gun. From everybody that was there said that was not true. Your thoughts on the left now saying he should be put in jail for buying a firearm. Honestly, it's completely unsurprising at this point. They will do and say anything that they possibly can to try and attack President Trump. He was visiting a small business, visiting a gun store in the great state of South Carolina. The owners there are big supporters of his, and they had gifted him a Glock that was ingrained with Trump 45. And then the Democrats, you know, absolutely went ballistic in trying to say that he was violating laws. And it's just ridiculous. This is how, this is what they do. They go after President Trump for absolutely everything, but then they turn a blind eye to the real crimes committed by their own party, namely Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden, who almost evaded charges on a federal gun violation, which he's now facing an indictment for with an attorney that was handpicked by Merrick Garland, who's from Biden's home state. So the corruption goes on and on and the Democrat side of the media says nothing, but they're constantly attacking the former president. Voters see right through this crap, really doesn't matter. You'll see that in the polls shortly.

I was just saying the news channel product last night was fun and it was great to hook up from the house and just join you in the immediate aftermath. We've slept on it now. Do you feel any differently? I may resent it even more now than I did last night. What a colossal waste of time. Not for Donald Trump. The winner was Donald Trump. That's just it. I mean, and you said it earlier. He's he's a genius once again in his decision to stay away. And I've been thinking a lot about DeSantis's decision to go after Trump on this issue. I would think, you know, Governor DeSantis, if he has any chance at all, has to win over Trump supporters. Correct. How do you win over Trump supporters by trashing the guy who made the brilliant decision to stay away from that train wreck last night? And it was a train wreck. How many times in your career, Mark, have you decided to do something that you just wish like heck you could take back? I mean, I don't know. Maybe. Oh, I could. I could just start with Monday. You know, I mean, if you're Dana Perino, you're going to spend the rest of your career asking yourself, why did I think the survivor question was going to go over? Well, so stupid. So stupid. And that couldn't have been couldn't have been her. That's got to be some staffer, even some executive or some consultant who said, hey, let's lighten the mood or do something kind of fun. And sometimes I'm actually OK with the moment that sort of humanizes them. I mean, like in a one on one debate or maybe when there's just two or three people left or to say, look, you guys are up there to sort of knock each other around. Tell me one really good, praiseworthy thing about each other, you know, about you, about your opponent. And that's kind of neat. And it sort of cuts. But this was so unbelievably stupid. And and there were a lot of cringe moments. I mean, poor Mike Pence. I've slept with the school teacher for 38 years. And everybody kind of groaned. And Chris Christie, oh, you're not Donald Trump. You're Donald Duck. Somebody wrote that for him and he thought it would go well. Or maybe it was his. Once again, I don't know whose idea it was, but it was terrible. And let's go back to programing decisions. The Univision lady, are you serious? I want to be as careful as I've ever been for anything. Univision, God bless them. Great. Univision, whatever Hispanic news media. Great. And I bet she's great on it. I bet she's wonderful.

And Donald Trump hides behind the walls of his golf clubs and won't show up here to answer questions like all the rest of us are up here to answer. Meantime, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said Democrats are shutting down the American dream with their reckless behavior. He then asked, where is Joe Biden in the shutdown debate?

The Financial Guys
A highlight from Republican Debates, Election Predictions, and Media Criticism
"At some point we have to take the economy seriously. We can't just keep printing money and sending it overseas. Welcome to another Financial Guys podcast. I'm Mike Hayflick along with my partner, Mike Speraza. We are always excited to be here, Mike. Um, we are here after the second Bill's win. Yeah. Yeah. We will, we'll keep it at that. Every time we talk very little, things go well. So let's, let's keep it at a win and big game Sunday. Miami. What should be right. A massively popular game. I mean, when they put up 70 against Denver and we, we basically, did we shut out the three points? Three, three. Okay. We held, held Washington, the Washington commanders to only three. That should be a really, really dynamite game. So. Had to change their name due to political correctness. I know, I know. And we had some conversation about that. The people I was watching the game with were reflecting on, I guess the good old days when the, the nicknames of teams just didn't seem to matter as much, but it matters now. Now they want to take down statues. You're an Iroquois guy. They're taking that name away. The chiefs because apparently saying chiefs is very, uh, politically incorrect. I mean, a leader. You can't be called the leaders anymore. Maybe it'll be the Iroquois comrades because everyone's got to just hold hands and sing Kumbaya. Yeah. And, and you know, nobody gets a gender anymore. Nobody can dominate one or the other. Even if it's a sport, there really might not even ever be winners or losers. They might not even keep score anymore in sports. Like it's just going to be for the experience of it trophy for the trophy for the trophy. Line them all up. They're all going to look exactly the same. There'll be gender neutral trophies. When will we have a they, them team name? Like the, the Washington they, thems, like when, when, I mean, I know that sounds outrageous, but that's where we're headed. Yeah, it's true. It's going to be comrades. Friends. Yeah. The friends, the Iroquois friends, the Iroquois comrades. It literally is heading that way though. Something where you go, what is, what is this sport? Like we don't even know based on the name, what the sport is. We don't even, yeah. You won't know. Like usually you could derive some more information from things like that. Oh, no, no, not anymore. No, you're going to have to dig real deep. You're going to have to show up at these events and, uh, you know, maybe wear a nice hoodie and a pair of shorts at the events. Yeah, I agree with you. And, uh, you know, maybe right after you went through the Senate chambers to vote on something, you can head and do a game with your hoodie and shorts on. Anyway, the next one, the last thing I'll say is the next one will be the Patriots. They'll be getting their name taken because that represents Donald Trump and his movement. We got to take away the name Patriot, right? That'll be the next one. There you go. You know, I just, I can't with these people anymore. It's really getting to be absurd. Yep. Totally. So, uh, Mike, let's start with this one. A second Republican debate coming this Wednesday night, September 27th, and Dana Perino, who I've always enjoyed listening to. Um, she will be joining Stuart Varney and Ilia Calderon at the Ronald Reagan library. presidential Suitable place. I love it. Yeah. And, uh, I, we were just chatting a bit before the podcast, so let's just line this up. All right. I don't know the order, but we're going to have Pence, Christie, DeSantis, Rama, Swami, uh, Doug Burgum made it Dougie Dougie. Um, who is that? Who else? I'm I've got five Nikki Haley. Thank you. And then, uh, there should be one more. Um, I did pens from, let's write this down. One more time for everybody. Pence, Rama, Swami, right? DeSantis. How do I not remember? Tim Scott, Tim Scott. Thank you. So, so seven this time, um, not Asa Hutchinson, I think you said he, he didn't make it. Didn't qualify. So, um, of course the big elephant in the room is that Donald Trump again will not be there. Just tell me your thoughts, I guess, on this next upcoming debate. Are we going to hear anything different? Is there any going to be anything that really makes people go, Whoa, this guy's really racing to the front or female. Um, if it's Nikki Haley, anyone going to race to the front after this one? I really, I mean, I think we're kind of wasting our time here and I'm not saying it as a, as a Trump voter. I'm just saying it realistically. Right. I mean, at this point, the lead is 40 to 50 points. Nobody makes up that ground than a debate, right? Like Nikki Haley had a great debate last time. She's still polling single digits. Right. I don't agree with Nikki Haley stance on a lot of things, but she, she fared well in that debate and she really didn't grow or fall behind anymore. Right. So I think that's the tough part. When we look at these debates, the Donald Trump in the 2015, 2016 campaign years, that is your like unicorn, right? Where, where you just go up there and go bananas. And then you end up, you know, taking over the field. The difference was there was no Donald Trump in that election, right? Like you had a Jeb Bush, but he wasn't the guaranteed slam dunk candidate right now. You have Donald Trump, Mike, and he is the guaranteed slammed on Canada. The only one that we thought maybe had a chance was Ron DeSantis and he has crumbled mightily, whether you like him or hate him. It's just the facts. He's, he's in trouble. Right. I mean, so what, what are we accomplishing with these debates other than kind of a, I guess I'll say wasting our time. Yeah. And I, I just, I just think it's worth breaking this down a little bit. Like what is it that people like you and I think that these others are just inferior to a guy like a Donald Trump? Like, and I'll tell you my opinion first. Mine is I just don't think they'll win. And I just feel like more and more people need to, you got to vote and expect that the conservative Republican candidate in this case wins. And I don't think any of these other people could, could actually win. I don't think they have enough, you know, experience. They don't have the fortitude that a Donald Trump has. Well, I think that that to me is, is there's two reasons why I'm voting for Donald Trump, right? Number one was I thought he had a very good four year term other than the COVID 19 issue. And I, I'm telling you right now, I say this to people all the time. If it was Ron DeSantis, if it was Donald Trump, if it was Hillary Clinton, that, that, that whole debacle was, was a disaster and there was no way you were going to look good in that debacle. I'm just telling you. Yeah. Number one, but that was a Trump fault that I have. And if I ever talked to him, I would tell him that that I do not agree with what he did with COVID. It's easy for me to say that now, but, but at the end of the day, he had a great four year term other than that, in my personal opinion. Number two is every time they've tried to knock him down at the knees, Mike, that has made me want him back more, right? The, the every time they indict him, I want him back more, right? Every time they try and silence him with gag orders, I want him back more. This is how I think a lot of conservatives are feeling. And at this point, it's kind of like, okay, is Rhonda, here's what my other point, I don't mean to keep going on, but at the end of the day is whether it's Ron, DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy, or Donald Trump, I'm going to use those three for a second. They will be treated the exact same way by the media, by the Democrat party. It doesn't matter who that candidate is. It doesn't matter. Right. People always say like, Oh, but, but Trump's hated. If DeSantis is a candidate, he's already taken crap from the leftist media, right? Like if he's the candidate, he's going to, it's going to be open up another can of worms. I don't think it matters. The reason why we got to go with Donald Trump is he's been there. He's been able to handle it. We know that whether you like him or not, he's handled the media and he's handled the Democrats well. And we need that experience. This is the election of our lifetime. And I will say that now, this is the election of our lifetime. We need to win. Dana Perino says, I believe the economy will feature prominently because we know that that is the biggest concern and preoccupation that is worrying Americans. And she says in many ways, in my opinion, the economy is the thread that runs through all of these other possible topics. For example, if you're concerned about crime, one of the issues is what kind of resources do you have and are you willing to use in order to help deal with that? I think she's spot on. I think when it comes to the economy, the economy sort of is the fuel and whether you then have a notion to, you know, actually shut down the border, improve childcare, improve education, then the, the economy obviously is the main thread that actually everything else seems to branch off of. If you have a lot of people working, for instance, you're going to have a thriving economy because supply and demand is going to balance out. You're going to have lots of products and services to offer and a lot of people can afford these things. Right. So, uh, I, I agree with her. Plus it is Fox business that's hosting the event. So might lean a little bit more toward economics. Yeah, I think it should. I agree with you. I mean, at some point we have to take the economy seriously. We can't just keep printing money and sending it overseas at some point, you know, and I say, I've said this to you, Mike before, going to get groceries now at times, like they ring all the stuff up and I'm like, Holy crap. I bought, I have a cat. I bought five cans of cat food. They're, they're the size of like a lacrosse ball, not even. And it's like $5 for five cans. I'm like this, this thing costs more than my kids at this point. This cat's going to be very thin. It's going to be out of crash diet. I mean, but seriously, how do people, Mike, that don't make money? And I say this in a sad way, like how do people that don't make money survive? Even going, you go to a local fast food restaurant for two people. My wife and I it's 30 bucks. I'm like, what the hell happened out here? I told that is what's going on. And that's scary. Yeah. When they have to make those kinds of hard choices. Right. Uh, all right. So, uh, let's move on. So speaking of Trump, we're talking about these other seven candidates that will be there Wednesday, this Wednesday night, nine to 11 PM in the second Republican debate, Donald Trump will not be there, but this came out like in a Washington post poll. Trump is now up 10%, uh, over a potential run against Biden, 10 % double digit. Now if you just pin Trump against Biden again, first your thoughts, and then we'll go a little deeper into this. Well, I'm not surprised. Um, I think, I think Americans are getting sick and tired of it. I think Americans are worried about our futures. I think the migrant crisis is hurting the Democrat party because you have liberal places like New York city that are waking up saying, Oh my God, we can't do this anymore. And there's like 10 ,000 migrants in New York city, not 10 million. Right. So like, like it's starting to click, I think with certain people, number one, number two, Mike, I think it's hard to hide Joe Biden's cognitive decline, right? The left can say whatever they want in the media. You just can't, when you fall over on things, when you do talk like that, I mean, they, it's a problem. It's a real problem and it's visible. Um, do I trust these polls? Yes and no. I think, if I think America is as smart as I think they would, the polls should be probably higher, like 30 % lead for Trump. Um, but I think the numbers that keep growing in Trump's favor, the margin of error is not that big, right? Michael, like you look at the Republican primary polls, the margin of error is not 40%, right? He's up 40%. So even if they're off by 20%, he's still up 20%. The same thing's starting to happen in these head to head polls with Biden. It started, you know, Trump down, then it was Trump even, then it was Trump three, five, now it's 10. I mean, that's a lot. Yeah. And so I want to read a little bit here. So the post ABC poll shows Biden trailing Trump by 10 percentage points at this early stage in the election cycle. This is, by the way, the Washington Post little write -up, uh, after the poll was done. Um, so this is, this is actually humorous. Although the sizable margin of Trump's lead in this survey is significantly at odds with other public polls that show the general election contest to virtual dead heat, the difference between this poll and others as well as the unusual makeup of Trump's and Biden's coalitions in the survey. So Mike, the more words, the muddier this all gets, right? It sounds like excuses coming up, right? It sounds like Kamala Harris. It really is. It's like, yeah, total word salad. Um, I just said suggested is probably an outlier, right? So, so this, this I thought was interesting. Um, Byron Byron York of the Washington examiner said the post dumped on headline news in quotes from its own poll. So basically they do a poll. They say that their poll is likely an outlier and, and he, he goes on to then say Washington Post sub heads suggests its own poll may be an outlier. That may be true, but they put no such disclaimer in headline three years ago when they published a poll of Wisconsin, right before election day in 2020, showing Biden up 17 points on Trump, 10 points more than the average of other polls at the time. That was real clear politics, president Tom Bevin. So, so funny to me, so interesting, right? Even when they try to do something where they want to take part in the polling process and inform all of us as Americans, Ooh, that's not really where we wanted to see that. That's likely an outlier folks. Yeah. Oh, Donald Trump's winning. Shit. That doesn't count. Okay. What are we going to do? Next one. Okay. These were registered voters. What are we going to do? This is 10 points. Holy shit. What are we going to say? Let's just say it's an outlier. Oh damn. That was a fake poll. Oh, those stupid polls. Yeah. I mean, and it might, I'll say this before we get onto another topic on what's, what's, you're starting to see it all come together. It's like, it's like when they see, you know, hurricanes forming in the ocean, right? We're starting to see it now. The polls are shifting to Trump. Now we have Hillary Clinton coming out saying things like, Oh yeah, who's to say Putin won't medal in the election in 2024 again, right? You have others saying like, Ooh, we got to get Trump off the ballot or people saying, let's indict Trump again for this or that let's put gag orders on him. It's all coming together. Now the new thing too, Mike is, Hmm, let's indict the Bidens and let's see if we can get, we can get a Joe Biden off the ticket. We've used him, we've abused him. Now we're getting them out of here. It's all, it's that wave in the ocean. It's that hurricane forming in the ocean. That's what's happening. And I believe that because why, why would Hillary Clinton come out and say, if you're so confident right in the 2024 election, if you're so confident and Trump's an idiot, he's never going to make it again and get rid of them. Why are you now saying, Hmm, maybe Putin will medal in the elections again. Why would you say that? Right. Right. And by the way, this is the same guy that's richer than ever because his country has been able to sell oil at a high rate since Biden's been in office. This is the same country that has had its way with the Ukraine walking in there and taking over land since Biden's been in there. Why would, why would Putin medal in the election to get in and probably in his mind, the nut job of Donald Trump back in office, it may drop a nuke on him. Why would he want Trump back in office? Ask yourself that question. Don't have to, if you have any sense at all, then you don't even have to ask that. Um, so anyway, let's see what the next number of polls start to reveal. Let's see if, let's see if polls stop coming out, Mike, right? Because once you have one that's got Trump winning by double digit, maybe they just start to say, polls are stupid. Polls are for racists. You're homophobic. If you read polls, I mean, we'll see. Or they come out with some poll from the middle of nowhere. That's like Biden up 35 points on Donald Trump. Right, right. This was from registered voters in the white house. Yes. We interviewed seven people and it was six to one, six to one. And the other one we fired, we don't even know who that was. Yeah. So, so let's go to this now. Every once in a while, Mike, I have to do this CNN, right? I go to the cnn .com site. I just got to see what they're finding note newsworthy, noteworthy, whatever you want to say. And honestly, and I've often reported this, I'm often in disbelief at what they aren't reporting. In this example though, I was like, Oh, a few stories down. Here's a story, Mike, why more women are choosing not to have kids. So right away I'm thinking, Oh my gosh, these are the most unlikable people, the most anti traditional family structure people ever. They probably don't want to have a relationship at all. They don't want to ever have true, you know, intimacy with anybody cause they just can't do it. They're just nasty. They're mostly on, you know, just awful. These lots, so many of these people. So I go on to read a little bit of this and you know, this is, this is someone named Diana Volek who, who never, who was never someone who dreamed of becoming a mother, right? And these are just some of the reasons given. They don't want the responsibility of being a parent. They fear a lack of support. They like their life as it is. They're still judged for being child free. So so even when they don't choose to have children, right? So I'm like looking at this and then suddenly I go, wait a second. This was published at midnight, uh, basically Sunday or Monday, you know, September 25th. That's that's now as we record editor's note, this story was originally published in August, 2021. Some details such as the ages of those interviewed remain the same as they were when the story first published. So you're telling me right away, I thought, is the Hollywood writers strike? Is it bleeding into CNN now? Cause there aren't enough stories. There aren't enough people to write like modern stories. There's not enough news. They had to pull a story from two years ago to talk about why many women are deciding not to have kids. Like how pathetic is that? How pathetic. This new trend too, of like, it's cool to just say, screw it. I don't want to have a family is the weirdest thing ever. And then we wonder why these people are miserable, right? I mean, again, is parenting easy? I'm a new parent. Mike, you know that you, you parented two girls for, you know, they're what? 25, 22, right? So you've had, you've had 25 years of parenting experience. I've had, you know, almost a year. It's the most enjoyable thing ever. Right? I mean you're finally, it's good not to be selfish. It's good to take care of somebody else and love somebody else. Right. And I'm not saying you don't love your spouse, but your spouse is an adult relationship. You have to have a relationship with a baby, which turns into a toddler, which turns into an adolescent, a young adult like that. There's nothing more special than that. You should want that. Instead it's like, Oh, kids are stupid. I'm going to be so rich. Really weigh me down. Yeah, yeah, sure. Okay. They're going to weigh me down. I want my independence. I don't want to be responsible to another human being. I've got myself to worry about and treat and, and you know, I don't know, a door like I get like, that's fine. I want to see the next story though be why many women are deciding that having a child is rewarding. It can become a very loving, you know, yes, you have to be responsible. Like it just was so gross to me like that. And two years ago, this isn't even news. This is like, Oh my gosh, we got to fill these headlines. What do we get out? Pull that one again. We don't like kids. We don't want anyone, you know, raising children, my God for, you know, I'll say this though, Mike and all seriousness too. Like, yes. Is, is it fun being a college degenerate and booze and all the time and having a blast? Sure it is. We all did it right. I mean, yes, of course it's a fun thing. Is it fun to not care if you can go to bed at 2am or 5am or 5pm? Sure. That's great. But at some point you have to mature as an adult, take your job seriously, take your family seriously and care about things like I always say this, Mike, and this is something I've brought up a million times. Think about being, you know, if you want it, like if you didn't want to have kids, I'm not saying people that can't have kids cause I feel for them. But if you, if you didn't want children, cause you didn't want the responsibility, what do you do in your sixties and seventies with no family? Like that breaks my heart, honestly. Right? Like I, what my relationship with my parents, my wife's with her parents, like it's, it's fun, right? It's, you're a family. You get to do things together and you get to enjoy each other. Who doesn't want that? I just don't get it. Well, there's a lot of people in Washington that actually have spouses and children and grandchildren. And clearly there is not a lot of love and support going on between all of them. Because some of these people, I mean, we know who we're talking about, the Mitch McConnell's, the Joe Biden's, they would not be in front of microphones if people actually cared about them. They would not let those loved ones go through what they go through on a daily basis, unless they have no connection, no personal connection at all. Um, all right. AOC. She's almost the last story of our day, but there's one more after this. So we got a bonus. We do a bonus story here, breaking news. So AOC wins the hypocrisy award mic for this, uh, at least this week, maybe the year on this one decade, this is hilarious. And, um, I'll just set this up for a second. So here she was on CBS's face the nation. And, um, she was discussing president Biden's plan to visit the Michigan auto workers on Tuesday. So host of CBS's face, the nation, Margaret Brennan points out a couple of interesting facts about AOC and her selection of vehicles. So let's go ahead and play that. Yup.

A highlight from 1410: Bitcoin Will Hit $10,000,000 Per Coin - Binance CEO CZ
"In today's show, I'll be breaking down the latest technical analysis. And also I'm going to be sharing with you a 48 ,700 Bitcoin price target, pre halving according to a top analyst. Also did you know it was exactly six years ago today, China tried and failed to ban Bitcoin for the second time and ever since the Bitcoin price action is up 600 % and the mining hash rate is back at all time highs. Also quitting Max Kaiser, Bukele has restored the human rights to 7 million Salvadorians that have been taken away by murderous runts, the British and American state, a 93 % approval rating tells the story of the most popular leader in the world. And now Bukele -nomics is being copied around the world as a blueprint for freedom and justice preach. Also in today's show, Mt. Gox repayments delayed yet again. Creditors are waiting on Bitcoin, Bitcoin cash and Yen payments until next year in 2024. We'll also be discussing, according to this latest report, Coinbase currently holds 5 % of the entire Bitcoin supply in existence. That's right. While Coinbase holds 25 billion in BTC, the exchange only owns around 200 million in Bitcoin and its wallets. We'll also be discussing the catalyst, which will catapult the Bitcoin price action. According to skybridge capitals, Anthony Scaramucci will also be discussing the latest with the Binance CEO CZ setting the record straight on $250 million loan claims. That's right. The US court had recently denied an inspection plea by the SEC. I'll be breaking down this latest FUD and speaking of CZ, the Binance CEO predicts the Bitcoin price will reach $10 million per coin. In fact, a couple of years back in an interview, he said, if all of the major institutions allocate 1 % Bitcoin, we're going to see 1000 X or more growth of the Bitcoin price. And if you run the math, 1000 times today's price action is 26 to $27 million per BTC. We'll also be taking a look at the overall crypto market, all this plus so much more in today's show. Yo what's good crypto fam. This is first and foremost, a video show. So if you want the full premium experience with video, visit my YouTube channel at crypto news alerts .net. Again, that's crypto news alerts .net and welcome everyone just joining us. This is podcast episode number 1410. I'm your host JV and today is September 23rd, 2023. So welcome to another sat stacking Saturday. Let's kick it off with our market watch as we do here each and every day, seven days a week. We can see Bitcoin back in the green trading above 26 .6 and we also have ether back in the green trading at roughly $1 ,600. The market cap is sitting at 1 .06 trillion with roughly 17 billion in volume. In the past 24 hours, we've got Bitcoin dominance at 49 .1 % and the ether dominance at 18 .2 % as Bitcoin continues outpacing Ethereum and checking out the top 100 crypto gainers of the past 24 hours, we've got theta lead in the pack up 7 % trading just under 64 cents followed by rocket pool up 4 % trading at $21 .63, followed by chain link up 4 % trading at $7 .18 and checking out the top 100 crypto gainers of the past week, we have WeMix leading this pack up 15%. We have PLS up 8 .2 % and XRD up 11, I mean 7 .4 % and checking out the crypto greed and fear index, we're currently rated a 47, which is neutral. Yesterday was a 43 in fear, last week also a 43 and last month a 41 in fear. So there you have it. How many of you have been stacking M -Sats and taking advantage of the recent dip in dollar cost averaging? Let me know. And how many of you are anticipating Bitcoin price action to maybe dip a little further south before packing some new positions? Let me know how you feel with the current status. And also just quick reminder, we're almost at the end of September historically, September is the worst month out of the entire year for the Bitcoin price action, but it's always followed by up tober, which is historically one of the most bullish months for Bitcoin. So we only have another week until we get out of September. So we'll see how this is likely to play out. Let's break down today's Bitcoin technical analysis. Bitcoin failed to reclaim 27 ,000, though we came close. It stalled at 26 ,500 as of right now. Meanwhile, the altcoins are in no better shape with minor losses coming from most of the larger cap ones. With Chainlink, the only one with a notable price increase. So last week was expectedly less volatile, aside from the brief spike on Saturday that pushed Bitcoin then to the multi -day peak of 26 ,400. But after failing to continue upwards, Bitcoin retraced at 26 ,000 and spent the rest of the weekend there. Then Monday didn't start all that positively either, but finished the way. Bitcoin went on the offensive and soared above 27 ,000 for the first time in weeks, but then shortly dumped after. But the bulls kept the pressure on and pushed Bitcoin to a new 20 -day peak at 27 ,500 on Tuesday. The next few days were rather calm with Bitcoin maintaining 27 G's, even after the US Fed's decision to stop raising the interest rates. Yet Bitcoin's momentum disappeared by Friday as it fell to 26 ,400. It even tried to bounce off the end of the day, but failed and currently stands at 26 ,500. Its market cap is south of 520 billion, while its dominance over the alts still just inches shy of 49%. So there you have it. And as we mentioned a little earlier, the altcoins, a lot of them are also in the red with the exception of Chainlink, which seems to be outpacing the rest of the major alts. Now for a prediction from Titan of Crypto, here's what he shared on X. Bitcoin 48 ,700 before the halving rocket ship to the moon. You might want to bookmark this one. Fam, never in history the halving occurred without Bitcoin reaching the 78 .6 % Fibonacci retracement level. So first off, first cycle price reached this four months before the halving, and the second cycle it was two months before, and then on the third cycle it was 12 months before. The next halving is now roughly six months away. Bitcoin might reach the 78 .6 % Fibonacci level within this period as it currently lies at 48 ,700, but the million dollar question remains, will this time be different? So as we enter this fourth halving, let me know where you feel the Bitcoin price action is likely to hit before we have liftoff. I mean, obviously that would be a bullish scenario setting us up for a perfect price discovery in 2024 post halving. So I cannot wait. I hope the analyst is right. And if you didn't know, it was exactly six years ago. China tried and failed to ban Bitcoin for the second time because guess what? You can't ban Bitcoin. You can try. Good luck with that. And ever since the price action on the King Crypto is up 600 % and the mining hash rate continues to hit all time highs. And as you know, hash rate is a good indicator for the strength of the network, meaning the market cap is just north of only $500 billion. And as Max points out here, referring to Bukele, he has restored the human rights of 7 million Salvadorans that have been taken away by murderous runts. The British and American state, a 93 % approval rating tells the story, the most popular leader in the world. And now Bukele Nomics is being copied around the world as a blueprint for freedom and justice. Massive shout out to Najib Bukele and the people of El Salvador. Which country do you feel is likely to adopt Bitcoin as a legal tender next? Let me know your honest thoughts in the comments below. I feel it's going to be another Latin American country. I'd say a great candidate for that is Argentina, which has hundreds of millions of people. We have Javier Malay, the pro presidential candidate. There is a 70 % chance plus that he is elected as the president. And we already know the likelihood he could make Bitcoin a legal tender, especially being orange -pilled by Max Keiser, who is the senior Bitcoin advisor for President Bukele. As Max has already announced, he can't wait to touch down in Buenos Aires to orange pill Javier Malay. Then we also have Mexico. We have people like Ricardo Salinas, the third richest man in Mexico, very pro Bitcoin, claiming Bitcoin has been his best investment ever because, again, Max orange -pilled him back in 2014. Then we have Brazil and so many other countries that make Bitcoin a potential to become legal tender. And we all know that's going to be a game changer. And that's just another catalyst on top of the Bitcoin halving scheduled in six months in 2024, plus the approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF in the United States. So can you say fireworks lays ahead? Let's go. Now let's discuss the latest more bullish news, meaning Mt. Gox is going to be delaying these payments, which means no crypto is going to be dumped onto the open market anytime soon, which again is good for the hodlers. Check it out. Now we got Nobuaki, the Mt. Gox trustee in charge of the funds owed to the exchange creditors, updated the public on September 21st, two days ago, according to the trustee, because of the lengthy discussions with specific payment providers, he could not make the October 31st deadline. That was the initial deadline, fam. And because of this reason, the repayments will start next year. And so they say, quitting him here. Therefore, with the permission of the Tokyo district court, the rehabilitation trustee changed the deadline of the base repayment, the early lump sum repayment and the intermediate repayment from October 31st, 2023 Japan time to October 31st, 2024 Japan time, respectively. By the letter of the Kobashi details, the Mt. Gox creditors waited nine years for payments. Good Lord. Currently, they're owed one hundred and forty one thousand six hundred and eighty six BTC plus one hundred and forty two thousand eight hundred and forty six Bitcoin cash and sixty nine is that billion yen. Good Lord. I'd love to know what that equates to in dollars anyways, though the delay has been extended. The creditors who have completed their claims might receive the payment by year's end, quoting them again. Rehabilitation creditors who have provided the necessary info to the rehabilitation trustee will see the payments made in a sequence as early as the end of this year, according to the letter. However, this schedule could change. Kobashi also said that due to the high volume of inquiries regarding the process, the rehabilitation team might not respond promptly. Well, that doesn't sound so promising, but I guess it's a good sign that most of this cash is not going to be dumped off any time soon, as there's a lot of FUD that's always circulating. The Mt. Gox, you know, sell off is going to crash the entire market. I think that is very unlikely and is nothing more than FUD. And again, we're gearing up for the most bullish sentiment in the four year cyclical cycle amongst us in twenty twenty four. So versus being in fear, I would be very optimistic about what's to come for the king crypto and the crypto market as a whole. But what are your thoughts, fam? Let me know in the comments right down below. Now let's discuss the largest crypto exchange in the United States. Clearly, it is Coinbase. The CEO is Brian Armstrong. But did you know, according to this latest report, they currently control and own over five percent of the Bitcoin in circulation. That's pretty hefty. And let's break this one down. And how many of you have used the Coinbase crypto exchange before? Let me know in the comments below. Here we go. Blockchain intelligence platform ARKAM recently identified the crypto exchange Coinbase holds almost one million Bitcoin in its wallets like, whoa, the coins are worth more than twenty five billion dollars at the current prices. Now, according to ARKAM, the exchanges holdings amount to almost five percent of all the existing Bitcoin. ARKAM said Coinbase holds a total of nine hundred forty seven thousand seven hundred and fifty five BTC. And at the moment, Bitcoin circulating supply is around nineteen million four hundred ninety three thousand five hundred thirty seven, according to coin info on CoinGecko. And as ARKAM shared here on X, ARKAM now identified twenty five billion of Bitcoin's Coinbase reserves with one million, approximately Bitcoin on chain. This makes Coinbase the largest Bitcoin entity in the world on ARKAM, with almost five percent of all the Bitcoin in existence, almost as much as Satoshi Nakamoto. Crazy, right? Furthermore, ARKAM noted that it has tagged and identified thirty six million Bitcoin deposits and holding addresses used by the exchange. And according to ARKAM, Coinbase's largest cold wallet holds around ten thousand BTC. And based on the exchanges financial reports, the intelligence company believes that Coinbase has more Bitcoin than are yet labeled and could not be identified. And while Coinbase holds over twenty five billion worth of Bitcoin in its wallets, the exchange only owns around ten thousand of all the Bitcoin in which it holds, which is roughly two hundred million dollars, according to the recent data. Meanwhile, community members express varying reactions to the news about the amount of Bitcoin on the centralized exchange in which they hold. Some believe it's a sign to withdraw their Bitcoin from the exchanges, warning hodlers not to wait until the exchanges start to halt withdrawals. Others say that since there are legitimate concerns over cold wallets, there is no good way to store your assets. I'd like to chime in real quick. Obviously, if it's not your keys, it's not your coins. So while a custodian such as Coinbase can hold your crypto, you've got to also note that it's not yours. So if something were to happen, hypothetically, like we've seen with FTX and the collapse last year, then not your keys, not your coins, they don't belong to you at the end of the day. So you've got to start to weigh the risk reward with having a custodian such as Coinbase or a centralized exchange hold your coins versus taking the responsibility for yourself and learning how to self custody your own crypto and call storage such as with a Bitcoin cold wallet, such as a treasure. So I just wanted to point that out. There's no right or wrong way to hold your crypto. You've got to do what's in your best interest, of course. So, you know, I mean, just want to keep it real at the end of the day. So check it when it comes to Bitcoin ownership by companies, business intelligence for MicroStrategy still owns most Bitcoin. I believe it's over one hundred and fifty two thousand eight hundred BTC, to be exact, worth over four billion dollars at the time of this recording, making them the largest publicly traded company to have Bitcoin on their balance sheet. Now, another major company that controls over six hundred thousand BTC is Grayscale in their GBTC product, the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, which they just recently had a lawsuit against the SEC with the plan to convert their trust into a spot Bitcoin ETF. So considering they already control the underlying asset in the sum of over six hundred thousand BTC makes them a pretty strong contender. Wouldn't you agree? Let me know your thoughts, fam. And now let's break down our next story of the day and discuss the Bitcoin price likely to catapult along with the altcoin to coin to SkyBridge Capital, Anthony Scaramucci. Let's break this down. Shout out to the Mooch, SkyBridge Capital founder Scaramucci is detailing how one catalyst could have a bullish impact on Bitcoin, as well as the alt. In an interview with the Wolf of Wall Street, Scott Melker Scaramucci says that a spot Bitcoin ETF could be approved in the first quarter of twenty twenty four, which seems to be a ninety five percent likelihood, according to top ETF analyst at Bloomberg, Eric Balchunes. So according to SkyBridge Capital founder, the approval of the spot Bitcoin ETF and the Bitcoin halving, which is expected to occur in April of twenty twenty four, could combine to ignite a crypto bull market. No, it's not. It could combine. It will combine. Just saying. Quitting him here as Wall Street or products on Wall Street are sold, they are not bought. And so there is going to be tens of thousands, if not one hundred thousand plus people at these Wall Street firms selling these products to their traditional investors. So people that are in Bitcoin understand the finite supply of Bitcoin, right? We all know there's a finite limited supply, 21 million, and they understand the nature and the quality the Bitcoin has. This will push Bitcoin up. Of course, it will have a dramatically positive effect on the altcoin market because it will lead to more capital into digital properties so people can think whatever they want. They can think short term about the near term volatility of Bitcoin. But these macro positive factors are overwhelming. And according to Scaramucci, the potential approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF filed by giant asset managers such as BlackRock, who controls over 10 trillion in assets under management and Fidelity, that controls over four and a half trillion in assets under management, can see Bitcoin increasing its market cap by roughly 24 times from the current level. We'll send it. Let's go quoting the Mooch here. It is important that now the largest asset manager in the world who started out with some level of skepticism related to digital assets and Bitcoin is now willing to adopt Bitcoin. I mean, I guess they mean BlackRock is willing to adopt Bitcoin, but even more important than that, they're willing to explain to their clients. I think BlackRock now has 13 trillion dollars in assets under management. So for them, seven trillion for Fidelity. While these numbers are higher than I even imagine, while their clients need exposure to digital property like Bitcoin. And so we have a five hundred billion dollar plus market for Bitcoin. So you and I know gold is at 12 trillion ish, depending on where it's trading. But yes, 12 trillion. There is no reason why Bitcoin couldn't get gold. So there you have it. And to watch this video interview he did with Scott Melker entitled 37000 Bitcoin. Can it skyrocket 35 percent? Check the show notes below the video in the description. And I think we all could agree it's only a matter of time before Bitcoin returns to price discovery mode, virtually meaning entering new all time highs. My personal prediction is sometime in 2024, considering the two biggest catalysts, which we just covered, the Bitcoin halving and Bitcoin ETF approval, which we know is going to be a given, especially considering the SEC is not going to be able to push it back and push back that deadline any longer because, you know, they just they have been pushing it back now for 10 years while they continue to approve futures ETFs, which can allow them to spoof and manipulate the market, which is all by design. At the end of the day, there's not new under the sun and three things cannot be long hidden. The sun, the moon and the truth. But just saying. Anyways, fam, now let's discuss the ongoing fight against CZ, the finance CEO with this 250 million dollar loan. And then I'll be breaking down his 10 million dollar price prediction and in fact sharing a transcription of him claiming that Bitcoin can thousand X from the current price, which would ultimately mean not 10 million, but we're talking twenty six to twenty seven million dollars per coin. Let's break this down. So here we go. First, with the FUD, the Binance CEO, CZ Shangping Zhao had refuted a recent report alleging that he received the 250 million dollar loan from BAM Management, the company that serves as the holding entity for Binance US. Now, how many of you have used Binance US or Binance before as the exchange? Let me know, fam. The development comes amidst Binance's struggles with plunging trading volume as the world's largest crypto exchange faces mounting lawsuits and increased scrutiny, regulatory which seems to all be by design by the SEC and the regulators. Right. The report published by Decrypt September 19th drew its conclusions from court documents associated with the ongoing lawsuit involving Binance and the United States. SEC, according to the news agency's interpretation, the Binance US legal representatives asserted in the documents that BAM Management US Holdings had issued a quarter billion dollar convertible note to CZ back in December. CZ, however, challenged the accuracy of the report when he tweeted the following. The amount of wrong information is just they got the direction wrong. I loaned 250 million dollars to BAM a while back, not the other way around, and have not taken it back. The Binance CEO clarified that the loan arrangement was, in fact, the opposite of what was reported in the post. The exec explained that he had extended a 250 million dollar loan to BAM Management and asserted that he had not yet received the payment. So there's nothing new under the sun. Just more FUD, it seems like, fam. The legal battle has taken a toll on Binance US, which saw a flurry of employee departures. The US SEC alleged that Binance was not cooperating in the ongoing probe and even claimed that BAM refused to make essential witnesses available for deposition. Concerns were also raised on CEFFU, which happens to be a custody service offered by Binance's international arm, Binance Holdings Ltd. The SEC's filing claimed that the platform appeared to be in violation of a previous agreement designed to prevent the transfer of the assets abroad. And despite the scathing attacks by the financial regulator, Binance scored a small win this week. The SEC's motion to approve an inspection into Binance US was denied by the USDC District Judge, Zia Farokhia. So there you have it. I mean, the ongoing FUD will more than likely continue, as obviously Binance is the largest crypto exchange in the world and regulators seem to have a problem with them and want to go after them for whatever apparent reason. So, like I said, hopefully in the end, you know, truth is revealed and the real story versus all the FUD and, you know, the manipulation of the price action and all the shenanigans we continue to witness in the market. And with that being shared, now let's dive into the Binance CEO, CZ and his 10 million dollar price prediction, as well as him predicting that Bitcoin price action could even a thousand X from here, sending the Bitcoin price parabolic to 26 or even 27 million dollars per coin. Let's break this baby down, shall we? Here we go. JV, have you ever heard of him? A crypto YouTube influencer from Crypto News Alerts remembered CZ's prediction. You're damn right I did. The Bitcoin would reach 10 million per coin. JV referred to the statement in a recent video uploaded on YouTube where he analyzes various aspects of the Bitcoin market development. Now, JV looked back at CZ's Bitcoin prediction while analyzing the Bitcoin CEO's recent Twitter comments. And in a Q &A session on July 5th, CZ addressed several issues, including Binance's reaction to the ongoing regulatory scrutiny. He also spoke about the rising interest of institutional investors in crypto currencies, as well as the proposed BlackRock spot Bitcoin ETF. CZ made the 10 million dollar price prediction back in 2021. In fact, I have the article already pulled up and I'm going to be reading word for word what he shared. Following MicroStrategy's announcement, allocating Bitcoin for the corporate strategy, CZ based his analysis on the possibility of several corporate companies, major institutions across the world, allocating just one percent of their corporate treasury into Bitcoin. And according to CZ, that would lead to a thousand X growth in the value of BTC. JV highlighted CZ's welcoming approach to institutional investors in the Bitcoin ecosystem, and CZ noted that advantages in traditional finance firms they bring to the crypto industry, despite concerns about their intentions clashing with Bitcoin's decentralized nature. And according to JV, CZ identified two key factors driving Binance's strategy for the next 18 months. They include the upcoming Bitcoin halving event now less than six months out, as well as, you know, we could be seeing a Bitcoin ETF here in the near future. The Bitcoin community expects the next halving to occur in April of 2024. Now quoting CZ word for word from the initial interview he made on Bloomberg Radio predicting a potential 1000 X increase in the Bitcoin price action. So here's what he had to say. Right now, I think only 11 companies again, this is right around the time that MicroStrategy announced putting Bitcoin on its balance sheet. They announced having allocating some talking about Bitcoin, like usually less than one percent of their corporate treasury to Bitcoin. And we think that it is most likely what caused the initial price rise. I think MicroStrategy's Michael Saylor started it first, but there are six hundred and fifty thousand companies in the world, like relatively established companies in the world, and their treasury is huge. Preach. So if all of them talking about these major institutions only allocated just one percent to Bitcoin, we are going to see, I don't know, 1000 X more growth in the Bitcoin price. And if they allocate more than one percent, then it's going to be even bigger. So I think people don't quite get the magnitude of the wave that is about to hit us. Now, let's run that math one more time. Fam, today's price is roughly twenty six thousand five hundred times that by one thousand. He's talking about a twenty six and a half million dollar Bitcoin price action. The potential if they only put one percent of their strategic reserves into Bitcoin, you do the math. If it's five X and five percent, what are we talking? One hundred and twenty million dollar Bitcoin price. Just saying this is coming from CZ, the world's richest man in crypto. So very powerful words indeed. Let's get back to this prediction of what he shared. So the finance CEO estimates that the flagship crypto can go up anywhere from nineteen hundred percent to twenty thousand percent from the current price levels from the time he made the prediction. And he goes on to share with price predictions. It is really, really difficult. I think it can go to, I don't know, one million dollars, ten million dollars. It is very hard to tell. And again, if we literally did a thousand X from today's price, we're talking twenty six and a half million per BTZ. So CZ also reveals that the exchange is onboarding new users as an at an unprecedented sustained rate during the bull run, outpacing its user growth during the twenty seventeen bull run. So again, this was during the twenty twenty one bull run. Here's what he had to share. Just to give people the idea, in twenty seventeen, when Bitcoin hit the peak of about 20 G's, we were seeing three hundred thousand new registered users per day. And that only happened for a couple of days. And that kind of trailed off and became slower. Now we're seeing sustained new user registrations above the peak and sustained like for over two to three months. So could you imagine running the world's largest crypto exchange and having over three hundred thousand new registered users every single day for like 90 days straight? That is insanity. And that's the previous market. I think twenty twenty four is likely going to outpace the previous market as Bitcoin becomes a common household name and as Bitcoin game theory continues in full effect. You have presidential candidates making Bitcoin a big determining factor. We have people like Ron DeSantis, Kennedy Jr., Javier Malay over in Argentina. So naturally, it's just going to create more commotion and positive catalysts for Bitcoin as we move forward into twenty twenty four. So, I mean, fireworks are ahead. Let me know how you feel. We're likely to finish out this year by December of twenty twenty three. Where do you feel the Bitcoin price action is likely to be?

The Crypto Overnighter
A highlight from 676:GOP vs CBDCs, JPEXs Collapse, and Vivek Ramaswamys Crypto Vow
"Good evening and welcome to The Crypto Overnight -er. I'm Nickademus, and I will be your host as we take a look at the latest cryptocurrency news and analysis. So sit back, relax, and let's get started. And remember, none of this is financial advice. And it's 10 p .m. Pacific on Tuesday, September 21st, 2023. Welcome back to The Crypto Overnight -er. Yes, but we do have the news, so let's talk about that. Tonight, we're diving deep into the House Republicans' latest move against central bank digital currencies. We'll also unpack the turmoil surrounding JPEGs in Hong Kong and what it means for global crypto regulation. GOP presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy has some bold plans for crypto policy, and you'll want to hear them. Meanwhile, the Republic of Korea grapples with a significant offshore crypto stash, and PayPal pushes its stablecoin into Venmo. And don't go away, we have an update on the never -ending Mt. Gox saga. House Republicans advanced a bill opposing U .S. central bank digital currency efforts. The bill, known as the CBDC Anti -Surveillance State Act, aims to prevent the Federal Reserve from issuing a CBDC to individuals. It was introduced by Representative Tom Emmer and has gained the support of 60 members in Congress. The bill has passed the House Financial Services Committee and will next face a congressional vote. Democrats, led by Maxine Waters, criticized the bill. Waters renamed it the CBDC Anti -Innovation Act and argues that it could threaten the U .S. dollar status as the global reserve currency. The bill has also faced scrutiny for its language and its impact on CDBC research. The Federal Reserve has been exploring the possibility of issuing a CDBC, but is not close to developing one. Some conservative politicians, including Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, have taken strong positions against CDBCs. The bill prevents the issuance of a CDBC without an act of Congress. This aligns with the Federal Reserve's stance. The committee rejected amendments to the bill and passed it, recommending it to the full House on a vote of 27 to 20. The advancement of the CBDC Anti -Surveillance State Act is a significant move in the ongoing battle over financial privacy and government control. Emmer's bill is a clear attempt to seize as an overreach by the Biden administration. His concerns about CDBCs turning into surveillance tools echo a broader distrust of government power. Maxine Waters' opposition to the bill highlights a divide not just among politicians, but also in the nation. Her renaming of the bill to the CDBC Anti -Innovation Act suggests that Democrats see CDBCs as a potential innovation, not a threat. However, her stance could be seen as naive, especially when considering the potential for CDBCs to be used for mass surveillance, as is the case in China. The bill's passage to the House Financial Services Committee is a telling sign of the times. It reflects a growing skepticism about the role of centralized financial systems and a preference for decentralized solutions. The rejection of amendments to the bill, especially those that would allow the Federal Reserve to study the Chinese digital yuan, indicates a reluctance to even explore centralized digital currencies. All that said, I don't see it passing. I've said many times that when crypto becomes a left versus right issue, both sides lose. The same thing goes for CDBCs. This bill likely doesn't stand a chance of becoming law because I don't see it passing the Senate. As divided as Congress is, I don't see the two sides putting down their torches and pitchforks long enough to do some good for the country. From lawmakers playing defense against CDBCs in the U .S. to a complete offensive on crypto exchanges in Hong Kong. Next up, the whirlwind around JPEGs.

It's just about everything that's happened this week. I'm Eric Hanson, and we begin with President Trump, who made some controversial statements about abortion this week and called Ron DeSantis's six week abortion ban a terrible mistake. We might as well get this out of the way. We got President Trump with an answer to Kristen Welker on NBC's Meet the Press and her debut as the new host, which gave a lot of ammunition to Trump haters who want to hurt him and try to wreck his chances of becoming the nominee in 2024. This is an interesting dilemma that Republicans have. Here's the dilemma. Pro -life fighting for the sanctity of those unborn babies, the sanctity of their lives, the sacredness of the innocent. That's a centerpiece that's foundational for the Republican Party. And whether we like it or not, this particular debate that we're having in America over abortion is crushing us at the ballot box. And Donald Trump, I believe, was trying to address that with Kristen Welker on Meet the Press. Let's get it out of the way. I've been dreading this all weekend. Well, it wasn't all weekend. I mean, this first broke, I think, Saturday. They gave a little preview of his answer. I don't love his answer, but I also don't love the way Trump critics are pouncing on him, claiming he's not pro -life. I got into a big knockdown drag out, as I expected I would with my friend Mark Davis in Dallas, because Mark is now hell bent on proclaiming that Donald Trump is not pro -life. And he's saying that because of this exchange with Kristen Welker yesterday on Meet the Press. If a federal ban landed on your desk, if you were re -elected, would you sign it at 15 weeks? Are you talking about a complete ban? A ban at 15 weeks? Well, people are starting to think of 15 weeks. That seems to be a number that people are talking about right now. Would you sign that? I would I would sit down with both sides and I negotiate something and we'll end up with peace on that issue for the first time in 52 years. I'm not going to say I would or I wouldn't. I mean, the sanctus would really design a five week and six week ban. Would you support that? I think what he did is a terrible thing and a terrible mistake. But we'll come up with a number. But at the same time, Democrats won't be able to go out in six months, seven months, eight months and allow an abortion. Now, there are people who took that answer and proclaimed that Donald Trump is not pro -life, like it's important to proclaim or make some kind of declaration that he is not pro -life. I believe it's ridiculous to claim that a guy who's the only president to ever attend the March for Life, the guy who promised to get Roe v. Wade overturned because that was terrible federal. That was a terrible federal ruling and appointed Supreme Court justices who did just that to claim that Donald Trump is not pro -life is preposterous. It's absurd. It's virtue signaling. And perhaps it's just. The opportunistic way you chalk up some points for Ron DeSantis, because clearly Team DeSantis is pouncing on Donald Trump over this remark. I believe two things can be true at the same time. You can be pro -life and you can acknowledge that this issue is killing us at the ballot box. And we're losing elections. So President Trump has some campaign trouble to manage. Meanwhile, our current president can barely navigate a simple speech. If you miss Joe Biden at the U .N. this week, well, buckle up. Remember when Trump went to the United Nations and gave a really good speech and the media freaked out and said how goofy and wild and unpresidential and unprecedented it was, they had a complete meltdown and he gave a really decent speech. Compare that to the appearance of Joe Biden yesterday at the U .N. Now, even as we have all our institutions and drive creative new partnerships. Let me be clear. Certain principles of our international system are sacrosanct. Both Biden and Kamala Harris do the same thing when they say, let me be clear, run for the hills, because when they say, let me be clear, you're going to see nothing but mud and gibberish. I mean, babbling incoherently in front of the United Nations. And if that wasn't wild enough, you've got the Ukrainian President Zelensky. He marches in with his entourage. You know, I used to say I was torn about Ukraine. People that I respect insist that we have got to continue to fund the Ukrainian battle with Russia, that the American people have to help Ukraine with its border. We dare not have a wall for our own border, but we better, by God, help Ukraine with theirs. We better fund them. We better give them the missiles they want. We got to give them the ammunition they need. We need to. We got to stop Vladimir Putin. And if you push back against that, you're a stooge for Vladimir Putin. You're a Putin puppet. Just ask Tucker Carlson. When Tucker dared to express the belief that the American people have bigger fish to fry than funding Ukraine, he was thoroughly denounced and renounced as a stooge of Vladimir Putin. So there goes Zelensky marching into the UN yesterday with his bodyguards and his entourage, and he gets up to that podium. And what he said was pretty stunning. I expected he would stand at that giant podium in front of that ugly green background at the UN and talk about the need to fund his military. Talk about Russia's aggression against the Ukrainian people. Talk about Ukraine's place in the whole worldview of things instead. We got this. Even though humanity is failing on its climate policy objectives, this means that extreme weather will still impact the normal global life and some evil state will also weaponize its outcomes. And then people in the streets of New York and other cities of the world went out on climate protest. We all have seen them and when people in Morocco and Libya and other countries die as a result of natural disasters and when islands and countries disappear underwater and when tornadoes and deserts are spreading into into new territories and when all of this is happening, one unnatural disaster in Moscow decided to launch a big war and killed the tens of thousands of people. No wonder loony leftists have the Ukrainian flag in their front yard. You would think the Ukrainian president had bigger problems than climate change. Meanwhile, the United Auto Workers hit the picket lines this week. They made a few modest demands like a 40 % pay raise in a four day work week. Speaking of the UAW strike, I watched Sean Fain, the president of the United Auto Workers Union on the Sunday morning news shows. And you know, I admit I'm not a real big fan of unions. In fact, quite the opposite. I kind of think that unions have helped destroy many aspects of our economic system. In fact, it's a commonly held view that pension plans that used to be in place contributed to the decline of the U S automakers. Well, now the UAW is demanding pensions come back. They want the old fashioned defined benefit plan. And as Bloomberg points out, pensions are not worth striking over. You know what I find interesting about the UAW dispute? I heard all the talking points about how the corporate executives at the big three automakers make too much money. That's a Bernie Sanders mantra. That's an Elizabeth Warren trope. The executives make too much. You know, a company can be producing billions of dollars of revenue, but the Bernie Sanders of the world want to cap what an executive at one of those companies earns, which I always find so fascinating. It's as if they want to equate the guy or gal on the assembly line with the big automakers. Well, they're not the same. I mean it'd be nice if everybody made the same amount of money in life hate to break it to your life doesn't work that way. Some people make more than others and admittedly a lot of it is luck. I don't deserve the living that I make, but I'm very blessed to make a good living. There are people make a lot more than I do and I don't begrudge them anything, but simply because somebody that might have a show on television might make 10 times what I make. I don't think I should make what they make simply because we do the same essentially same thing. I mean, and Democrats always have such hypocrisy on this issue. Like somebody just texted me, how many homes does Bernie Sanders have again? It's more than one. But here's something that I noticed when I heard Sean Fain, the president of the UAW talk about executives compensation and how we're not making enough and we're taking steps backwards. I mean, the fact of the matter is the union gave up the defined benefit pension plan in a previous negotiation. Now they want it back. When you give up a benefit like that, you're not going to get it back. That's not realistic. And here's what I'm interested in. You know what was missing from all the coverage of the UAW strike? They never talk about what auto make auto workers make. Now I kept hearing how somebody on the assembly line can't feed their family. Really? What do they make? I kept hearing that Sean Fain kept saying the auto workers have taken three steps backwards. Really? How much do they earn? I know what they want to make. They want a 40 % pay increase and they want to only work four days a week. Now that's a pretty good deal.
The Financial Guys
A highlight from Growing Unease: Current Administrations Approach to Security and Travel with David Bellavia
"What do you think they're doing with cash, right? What deal do you make where someone says, I'll bring a box of money to you? Yeah. What do you, it's, this is a state sponsor of terrorism. Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests and my fellow citizens. America's comeback now. starts right Welcome back Financial Guys podcast. Mike Speraza in studio live today with a guest in the studio. I haven't had this in a long time. Staff Sergeant medal of honor recipient David Bellavia joining me for about a half hour today. David, thank you for joining us. Thank you for having me. I appreciate it. Absolutely. So I'm going to stick based on your background. I'm going to stick with a lot of military stuff today and I want to start, we'll go all the way back to the beginning of the Joe Biden presidency. The Afghanistan withdrawal, in my opinion, did not go very smoothly. I'm sure many people listening agree. What were your overall thoughts of that withdrawal and how it actually ended up happening? I know we lost, you know, sadly lost 13 soldiers in that, in that withdrawal. People say we went off the wrong air base. People say that we shouldn't have gone out in the middle of the summer. There was a lot of different things there. What were your overall thoughts on that? I think it's like the worst day in American history since Market Garden. Just absolutely. And the reason why it was so difficult was it was totally unnecessary. So let's rewind to the Obama trade, Bull Bergdahl and the three first round draft picks. They get Marshall, they get MacArthur and they get Patton that end up the resurgence of the Taliban. These men not just go back to the enemy, they go back to the battlefield. They're in power when the government falls. You have misinformation coming from the White House that the president of Afghanistan is leaving with billions of dollars on his plane, which wasn't true. And then you leave the equipment, the cash. There's no recovery. We're getting reports of sales of American equipment left in Afghanistan in Southeast Asia. We're moving material across the globe. Our children will fight and pay and have to atone for these miscalculations. Let's talk about that. You being in the military and you knowing that area too, why did they just find it the easiest way out to just say, you know, just leave that billion dollar billions of dollars of equipment there and not think, again, if it was me and I'm speaking that someone that's never been in the military, but if it's me and I'm the president, I'm thinking, OK, I don't want to leave all our weaponry there. I don't want to lose any of my men. Number two. And number three, I want to make sure that everybody knows when and how we're getting out of there. And it just felt like poof. One day they said we're getting out of here. Well, it's because the military didn't make any of those decisions. I mean, look, Millie, it can criticize him. You can criticize Secretary of Defense worthy of criticism. However, none of these individuals are making decisions. This is about NGOs on the ground. This is about the State Department. So you've got Bagram Air Base, the equivalent of JFK. You've got Karzai International Airport, the equivalent of Teterboro. Right. Why would you ever do an exfil out of Karzai International Airport? It makes absolutely no sense. It's tactically unsound. But and then you've got all the ISIS -K. We retaliate from the murder of 13 of our bravest and we drop a bomb on a guy delivering water. He's on our payroll and we kill children on that. Then we take out Borat on a tuk tuk driving around like that wasn't even really what was happening. It's just a den of lies. And Tony Blinken and Jake Sullivan, all the heroes that brought us, you know, the Bergdahl deal, the Iran nuke deal. This is these. They the State Department is running all foreign policy, including what the DOD used to run. Well, that's I was going to say. I mean, I know Biden's the president, but do you blame him at all or is it everybody underneath him that, you know, maybe was giving him bad information? And again, some of these decisions, David, is Biden even involved in some of these decisions? Like, I don't even know anymore. Is he around? Is he paying attention to anything going on? Well, I mean, just from the press conferences, it was apparent he didn't know what was going on. And the great irony is that they actually were predicting that Ukraine was going to be invaded and, you know, no one believed them. So it's like you can't influence your friends. The allies don't trust you. The enemy doesn't respect you. You know, I mean, you've got Ben Rhodes is really proud of this State Department. Susan Rice loves what they're doing. But, you know, again, Americans died. And, you know, and what is the perfect culmination of the adventure in Afghanistan? Looking at your watch at Dover Air Base when bodies are coming home. I mean, nothing could you couldn't ask for a just it's it's a debacle. Yeah. And it's sad that that's that's the leader of our country there. Let's move in. You brought up the Ukraine there. So the Russia Ukraine conflict will get to Zelensky in a minute. He is as we speak in New York City right now. But so Trump's in office. We don't see many of these conflicts or any conflicts actually started under his watch. And then we have the Biden administration come in. And a year later, we have Russia invading Ukraine. Why did this happen and why? Why the timing of February of 2022? So let's go back to when we were fighting ISIS. Trump engaged and destroyed estimated some say 300 members of Wagner forces. But those were Russian nationals. We engaged. We destroyed them. What was the response from Putin? Nothing at all. So what do people in that section of the world, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, what do they respect? They respect power. They respect authority. You're not going to get any respect if you don't engage the enemy when they present themselves. I don't understand the calculus of again, I'm trying hard to figure it out. I don't get it. I don't. You know, Romania and Hungary and Poland, you're letting them unilaterally decide whether or not they want to send reinforcements into Ukraine. That's an act of war. If NATO members engage the enemy, all of NATO is engaged against the enemy. Poland doesn't unilaterally make that decision. Hungary and Romania don't unilaterally make that decision. We can't even articulate what the mission is. And if you look, go to the Institute for the Study of War, there's a plug for them. Check out their overlay from when the battle started, when the war started with Russia. And tell me what success this offensive in Ukraine has produced. I mean, let me ask this question, because I get confused. The answer is nothing. I asked this on Twitter, X, whatever it's called, all the time. What is the end game and how do we get there? Because all I see the answer is, hey, just blank checks. Hey, just write a check. Hey, here's a billion. Hey, here's 20 billion. Hey, here's another 10 billion. I don't actually see a look. I mean, like anything, right? If I write a business plan of what I want to do in 2024, my goal is X. I write down my steps to get X. I don't just write down X and say it's going to happen. I don't really know. And then the answer always is, well, we have to fight. We have to back Ukraine. Okay. But when does that end? Because the Afghanistan war and the war in Iraq lasted 20 years plus, right? And was there a real end to it? I don't know. That's where it gets frustrating for me, Dave, where I'm like, how do we know what the end game is? Do you win or lose? When does that happen? I don't know. I don't know. At least you're thinking about it. And I have fear that our leaders aren't, and that's the problem. So here's what this comes out. You're going to get a negotiated settlement out of Ukraine, right? But you talked about the billions of dollars that we're spending and giving to Ukraine as a blank check. First of all, Zelensky visited Ukrainian soldiers in the United States. Did you know that there were wounded Ukrainian soldiers in the United States? I did not know that. Well, today he visited them. So what's happening there? So that's a cost that no one is putting on the ledger. So now let's look at the blank check that Ukraine is getting. And by the way, I'm pro Ukraine. I want to fight communists all day and night. So let's punch Putin hard in the face. However, you're giving them a blank check and you're giving them munitions. Now here's the problem. We have to replace those munitions. Those munitions were purchased for 20 year global war and terror. And let's be honest, inflation is involved. So what you purchased for $10 is now $17. So you're not just giving them the money. You're giving them the equipment and the munitions that you have to replace yourself at the value of what is valued today. We haven't scratched the surface for the amount of money. CBO absent at the wheel. No one is tracking this. 2024 can't get here fast enough. How does this work, though, when you talk about some of these NATO nations coming together and making decisions, but us not just giving weaponry, giving everything money, whatever we're giving there? Is that not an act of war, too, though, David, at some point? We're continuing to fund Ukraine continuing the war in Ukraine. I mean, that to me seems like we're backing a war. Well, I mean, by the letter of the law and NATO charter, it's not. But here's the problem. It's schizophrenic because we were told that what was an offensive weapon was going to mitigate, you know, that wasn't going to help peace at all. So we went from, I don't know if they should get tracked vehicles to I'm not sure an artillery piece is what they need to high Mars rockets being launched. And let's be honest. I mean, the Ukrainians are I mean, the payload that they're going through, what you would have to have cataclysmic casualty numbers to be able to to the spandex that they're doing on the ground that they need to replace Patriot. If you're going through thirty five Patriot to, you know, missiles, I would expect to at least the C 20 makes that are shot down. They're using them for air artillery. They're using there for indirect fire. I don't know what they're doing, but this is going to end with Don Boss going to Russia. This is going to end with that land chain that Putin wanted through Crimea. And again, our friends in NATO, what are they even doing for Ukraine? What? Look, if you they said that Trump wanted to kill NATO, Biden did it. Right. Biden did it. And now Germany. And so Putin was selling oil at thirty dollars a barrel. What's it at ninety six? Yeah. He's making more money than he did before. And he's financing a war and killing innocent people. You mentioned before, too, and I think this is a good point. Everybody on the left and I'll say the media, the establishment, whoever you want to say, says that if you don't agree with the war in Ukraine, you're like pro Putin. Right. And that's just the most outrageous thing in the world, because I agree with you. I feel for the people of Ukraine. I don't want this for them. I don't want this for innocent people. However, at some point, the world's every every one of the world's problems can't be America's problem when we have a border crisis. And then I think they said yesterday ten thousand people came across. They got, I think, eight thousand of the ten thousand. But you see the numbers day over day. It's a problem. We have crime that's rampant. We have overdoses that are at record numbers. We have we have suicides at record numbers. At some point, we have to maybe just think about ourselves and not everybody else, because if we fall, sadly, I think the world falls at that point. Amen. The thing that I would add is I love the way the Ukraine refugee has been crowbarred into the migrant crisis in the United States. New York leaders from the city to all over Kathy Hochul, the governor of the state of New York, mentioning that, you know, like the Ukrainians in Poland, the the Polish have no intention to keep Ukrainians forever. That's a temporary you know, they're leaving a conflict to return to their country after the conflict is over. Again, this is just we're we're putting a round peg into a square hole and just hammering it away. But but there's no the media. There's you're our destroying military. I go to parents all the time around this country and ask them to give us their sons and daughters to join the military. And the one thing they bring up is Afghanistan. It's not about anything. It's Afghanistan. How are you going to assure us that you're going to maintain your commitment to our son and daughter when you betrayed us in Afghanistan that has lasting effects? And there's not a I'm trying to find a segment of our of our of our nation that's functioning. I don't know what it is. I saw in Chicago, they're going to have municipally owned grocery stores. Maybe that will figure it out there. Yeah, yeah, it's good. Real quick, do you think and we'll finish up on this topic, but do you think that they will we will ever have boots in the ground on Ukraine? I mean, I hope not, because I just don't know what the I mean, look at I'm I'm we're getting ready for China. We're trying to revolutionize everything. I don't know what the what the plan is. I mean, again, if you want to put a base in Ukraine, and you want to make that a sustainment operation going forward, that I here's the point. I don't understand what the inactive ready reserve call up was for. Why are you bringing those troops in the non combat support? Why are they going to Ukraine? What are you building infrastructure there? Here's what I do know. We're talking a minimum of $11 trillion to build Ukraine back. That is cataclysmic amounts of money. There isn't water, electricity, internet, you know, you want to help Ukraine. You're going to Russia is not paying for that if you negotiate a settlement. So I don't know what the plan is. But I hope we never see boots on the ground. I could guess what the plan is. I won't I won't say for sure. But I could guess that we'll be paying a chunk of that. And I do have one last one. So I did interview Colonel Douglas McGregor a few months back. And he talked about he's a real optimist. But he is really very, very bullish on Ukraine. Yes, very, very optimistic. I'm dropping some all over the place. But he brought up some staggering numbers, though. And even if they're half true, it's a problem. The amount of casualties and wounded soldiers on the Ukrainian side that we're not hearing about the media. I don't know if you agree with some of those numbers or not. But he's saying, I mean, it's people are acting as if this is an even war right now. And it's not even close. First of all, McGregor's a stud. I mean, he's an absolute, you know, that we're glad he's on our side. He's a military mind. I don't know if those numbers are accurate. I could tell you they're juxtaposed to almost everything we're hearing from every institution that we have, including a lot of our intel from Germany and England. But again, I don't know what to believe. So when you don't have when you don't have transparency, when you're not holding regular press conferences, when your Pentagon spokesman is now working in the White House and now you're getting a triple spin. I mean, the U .S. Open double backspin. You've gotten so many spins on the narrative. I don't know what to believe. But if he is even close to what is a segment of truth, you know, then look, Ukraine needs an investigation. There's a lot of investigations. We've got to start on Afghanistan. We were promised that by Speaker McCarthy. We need a hot wash on Afghanistan. And then we need to go to what who is oversighting the money that's going to Ukraine. And what have we got for our return on investment? Yeah, I'm not asking for much. Really, all I'm asking for in this conflict is can we just talk about what the end game is? And to your point, can we get an accounting of where the money's going and what's being spent in a real accounting of it? The Iran deal that just happened last week. First off, the fact that that was negotiated and completed on 11th September to me is just the ultimate slap in the face. But you again, you know more about this than I do. We do a five for five trade. OK, I'm going to use sports analogies. We trade five for five. And then we also approved of six billion dollars that apparently wasn't ours, but it was in a fund that now they can release to Iran. How are we winning on that one? Well, first of all, I was hoping that at least it was a digital transfer. The fact that it went as euros in cash through Qatar. And OK, so what happens the 24 hours after that deal is made? We're now getting issues in the West Bank. We're now hearing about issues in Yemen. We've now got Hezbollah that's reinforced. I mean, look, what do you think they're doing with cash? Right. What deal do you make where someone says, I'll bring a box of money to you? What do you it's this is a state sponsor of terrorism. They haven't changed. By the way, their president is now in New York City addressing the United Nations. This guy's killed 6500 of his own people. He admits to it. He killed the students that revolted and wanted democracy when we did nothing. He killed 5000 of his citizens in 1988. He's killed over 300 Americans. There's no accountability whatsoever. I don't understand what it is about Jake Sullivan and Tony Blinken that believe that Iran is a partner. All you've done 10 years ago, they were refining 10 percent of their oil. And now they're a force. Now they're working with Maduro in Venezuela, and they're a huge part of their members of of the international community. They're in good standing there. I don't get it. Does anyone believe that the Iran nuke deal? Look, we got hit with cruise missiles under Trump in Iraq. How did they have those cruise missiles? Those cruise missiles were illegal under the Obama nuke deal. So how are you refurbishing missiles in two years? Do we believe that their centrifuges have stopped? That they won't have a program if they don't have one already? No, I mean, I guess my question, David, is how I mean, I know that you pay a lot of attention to this stuff, but how do people like in the media not ask these questions? Right. I mean, these are legitimate. I mean, we just traded to I put this on my notes here. This is on the heels of trading a WNBA basketball player for the Merchant of Death like six months ago. Right. I mean, and again, I'm glad Americans are coming back to America. I don't want to sound pessimistic on that. That's great news. But we also I mean, this this stuff just seems like I don't care what side of the aisle you're on. It warrants questions, but nobody seems to care. I'm in the world that if you take hostages, we take hostages. You want to exchange people? We'll exchange people. You know, we definitely have the partners in the area to do that. For whatever reason, this administration, they're they're they're contrarians. They're contrarians to you know, they claim Bush and Cheney are their best friends, yet they just go 180 degrees from that doctrine. I don't know what the Biden doctrine is. I don't know what Bidenonomics is either, but I could tell you that they believe that Iran is a partner. Now, here's another thing. Our envoy to Iran not only is no longer the envoy, he doesn't have a security clearance. Does anyone curious at The New York Times as to what happened to the lead negotiator in Iran that is escorted off a bus, taken into American custody, given a job at Yale or Princeton or wherever he's working now? I've never heard of a person going from top secret classified negotiations to no clearance whatsoever and in the custody of American intelligence community. No one cares. No one cares at all. It's fascinating. And again, for me, I mean, these are big decisions that we're making. And correct me if I'm wrong, but it used to be, you know, maybe we did a two for five deal and then we made the six billion. Now we're like, we're giving stuff away and we're on the losing end. Correct me if I'm wrong, but America was never, you know, America losing. It was always America winning, right? America getting the best of deals. At least McDonald's has a five for five. We didn't even get that. You know what this does though? Honest to God, if you're thinking about traveling overseas, things go sideways, cartel, South America, Mexico, wherever you're going, you have a price in your head now. No one in their right mind is going to bring you back whether it's Haiti or wherever you are, you're worth $1 .25 billion. And thugs and scumbags are going to take advantage of that. I mean, that's a great point too. Do you think about leaving the country? I don't know anymore. That's a little bit concerning. I don't care where you're going, right? That's concerning. This one I just had to bring up because it happened two days ago or yesterday. How do we lose a plane? And I heard that's like a third one in the last six weeks that something like this has happened. How are we losing $80 million planes? Well, they're not $80 million anymore because they've got a new engine and all this other stuff. Look, the F -35 program is a complete disaster. You want to talk about why our allies think we're crazy. We sold them a plane. This program has been around since the early 90s and we've got nothing on return for it. So basically two planes are flying in a buddy team. They're doing training and a guy punches out. We don't even know why he punched out, but that plane could have easily hit a building. It didn't, thank God. But the wingman didn't follow where his buddy went. So what is he doing? He just kind of went on and did his own thing. And now the Marine Corps put a Facebook post like a dog is missing. We're expecting the Ukrainian farmers to carry the F -35 out with their tractors. I don't know what the point of it's wild. Look, stop embarrassing us. Just stop humiliating us. That's all I'm asking. Just be the army and the Marine Corps that we know our men and women are capable of being. Get out of their way. This gender garbage, this social experiment nonsense, stop humiliating our military. That's all I ask. Why can we not get the... I mean, I know why we can't get the answer, but I'm asking this to you. But why can't we, at a press conference at the White House, why can't we say, I want to talk to the guy that was in the other plane, or you can tell us the transcript of what happened when that happened. Talk to the guy who jumped out of the plane. Why did you do that? And again, I'm not trying to put our military on the spot, but these are kind of big questions to ask, right? I mean, if I do something in my business, I have to go face the music on that. Why doesn't everybody have to face music for their decisions or why things are happening? I think it's kind of important. Well, you don't want to talk to generals because they're going to tell you the truth and they won't be generals anymore. True. And you don't want to talk to enlisted people. Because look, I mean, let's be honest. How many people are... Is this a merit -based military anymore? Do we have a meritocracy? Are we promoting people based on pronouns? Go figure. When we're putting politics above military strength, accidents happen. We don't know the facts, but the fact that nobody cares about getting to the bottom of it, the day of the Pentagon paper reporters are gone. Yep. Yep. Let's just talk about the 2024 race quick, and then we will wrap up for today. So your thoughts on the Republican primary so far, I'll stay away from the Democratic side till the very end, but your thoughts on, you know, there's obviously Trump who is now in a, has a huge lead. Ron DeSantis seems to be crumbling underneath himself. Vivek Ramaswamy has jumped up in the polls. Nikki Haley's there. Tim Scott's there. A few others that probably aren't going to get a lot of votes. Chris Christie's the anti -Trump candidate. Mike Pence is, I don't know what Mike Pence is. I'm not really sure. Your thoughts about the whole field so far? I mean, look, it's impressive. They've got a deep bench. There's a lot of diversity. I, you know, none of it matters. Trump is the guy. The more you indict him, the more you empower him. You know, I'd like him to work on his communications a little bit better. You know, but if Trump is Trump, Trump is a Frankenstein monster of Barack Obama. As long as you have that faction, you're going to get, you know, Trump is going to be empowered. I just don't want to see Governor Noem anywhere near the White House. And I, if he's going to pick a running mate, you know, it's hard to find an ally here, you know. But it would be nice to find a governor. I don't want to take anyone from the Senate. I don't want to take anyone from the House with the margins that tight. But I mean, the idea that Governor Noem is being floated right now. I mean, I'd rather take North Dakota. Yeah. A little sled there. You know, it's funny you mentioned that because I saw a lot of that this weekend. I mean, can we just, for lack of a better term, keep it in our pants for about a year and then do what you got to do? It really is. I mean, every time you turn, somebody's doing something idiotic, whether it's Boebert. And again, I say this, David, a lot of people know who you are. A lot more know who you are than they'll ever know who I am. But when you go out in public into a movie theater like that, and I'm going to Boebert, not Noem for a second, you're, you're extremely well known. I don't care if it's dark or if it's as light as it is in the studio right now. What are you thinking? I, you know, she's, she's, she's an embarrassment. She is. She's bad, too. Who would have thought that Marjorie Taylor Greene would have been the, the oasis of the Maryland? I mean, seriously, I, again, you're, you're in Congress every day. You're out in public, you're on the job. You know, at least she wasn't wearing a hoodie, you know, that's all in shorts. She was at least dressed for the occasion, but I, it was, it's wildly embarrassing. Vaping, singing, whatever you're doing. Getting groped. Yes. Who is your VP candidate then? Because I think, you know, you have names thrown around. There's, there's, the vague has been thrown around in there. You know, Byron Donald's has been thrown around in there. Carrie Lake has. I don't know. I love Carrie Lake. I just don't know that Trump needs to go with somebody so divisive there. I think he's got to go with somebody that's, that's firm in their beliefs, but also not maybe going to turn off half the country. Well, you know, it's, it's impossible. One of the, one of the problems with making Trump, you know, the, the enemy of the state that the left has done is that you've really made it difficult for him to even put a cabinet together. You know, I mean, what are you going to do with it? You've got a lot of loyalists out there. You know, the vague is, is I think maybe the most intelligent dynamic candidate we've ever seen run for president, but experience does matter. But you know, I love the way he thinks. I love the movement. I don't know if he would even take the job to be honest with it. I don't think he needs it. But you look at a Tim Scott, I think Tim Scott is, you know, there's a whole lot to his message and I think he's, he's got the experience in the Senate, but honestly, you could literally take the Clint Eastwood chair and, and throw it in there as vice president. I'm going with that because this, this from top to bottom, we have to have seismic change in 24. Do you think he would ever choose Kristi Noem at this point with all that now? Yeah, no one knew Mike Pence was a, was a 24 hour story and then he was the vice president candidate. So who knows? I mean, a lot can happen between now and then, but I just, I don't need, you know, let's just pick people on their merit. Let's pick people that are ready to be the president. Imagine this, imagine picking a vice president that can lead the country. If something happens to a 75 year old president, you know, like Kamala Harris. Yeah. Someone like that.

That's off the uh that was uh that was my birthday five years ago. The uh the boss vocal performer that enables me to do things like this. Welcome. A little delight. Groove is in the heart. Topics are in the air. Mike is in the house. How you doing, man? I'm good. I'm excited for you. I'm looking forward to hearing your conversation with Ken Paxton following Tucker's interview with Ken Paxton. I watched it last night. You know, the significance of this is so profound. It strikes me as to all the examples we're seeing of the machine trying to shut people down that they want to stop. Yeah. And if they can't stop them legitimately, if they can't get them beat at the ballot box, if they can't win in legitimate ways, then let's figure out a way to cheat. Let's figure out, let's impeach. Let's, let's have trials. Let's, let's do, let's cancel them any way we can. Let's sue them. Let's, let's prosecute them. Look at what's happening with Trump. I mean, that's the Ken Paxton story in a nutshell. They've tried to stop. And I love the way Tucker framed this, and you have too, so brilliantly. Ken Paxton is arguably the biggest thorn in the, in the side of the Biden administration that he's, that the administration's got. And he has been relentless. And as you pointed out, he's, he's on the right side of every issue, borders, law and order, the Constitution, everything, the second amendment, first amendment, go down the list, everything we pray for and that we want, Ken Paxton's on the right side of. And so they've decided, okay, we can't, he wins in a landslide. We can't stop him there. I know, let's impeach him. Now it's the same thing with Trump. There's such an analogy between the Ken Paxton story and the Donald Trump story. We can't stop his skyrocketing poll numbers. He's, he's apparently going to be the GOP nominee. And now there's a path for a number two that might not be Ron DeSantis. I mean, all along we've said Trump or DeSantis, Trump and DeSantis, apparently the New Hampshire voters don't agree. Who's, who's second? Is Vivek second in there? I don't know. It's like a race for the, it's, they're all close, they're all clustered together for second, but it's, but DeSantis is fifth.

Leo Terrell: Black Voters Simply Care About American Issues & Values
"Not controversial at all we just the do numbers are we lose 90 % of black vote which is absolutely unforgivable but when you look at people who've have done well with the black vote and both Trump and DeSantis have done well they've done okay he did very well down here in Florida the key that they I think they they they both had both of them what were they didn't treat black black voters any differently they didn't talk to black voters like they had I mean black parents care about soccer games and jobs and I it's not it's just so ridiculous I think how we overthink this thing you know I knocked on doors for two years in Maryland which has the largest population of upper -middle -class black voters anywhere in the country and then this is nothing surprising oh yeah how's the job right that's what I want to talk about jobs health care public safety I mean I think we overthink this thing and I think in this election if Trump were to win the nomination he seems to really be in the black community I don't want to get crazy you ain't gonna get probably 25 % of the vote or anything but we could really stand a really good chance at pulling anywhere from say 12 to 20 % and that would be an earthquake in a national electoral politics oh you're absolutely right Dan and your summary was perfect spot on I mean look I left the Democratic Party because they abandoned law enforcement they basically schools abandoned Dan I'm not on this radio program with you if it wasn't for quality school and that's being denied to all Americans you think inroads in with community the black by talking about American issues because everyone suffers from inflation crime, lawlessness, poor schools so what Trump is doing because I left in 2020 and yes he makes some inroads you get if Trump gets 15 to 20 % of the black vote 12 % 14 % there's no Democratic Party and I'll tell you right now he's doing much

A highlight from Abortion Remarks From Gavin Newsom & Trump Creating Tons Of Controversy
"This is your source for breaking news and what to make of it all. This is the Mike Gallagher Show. Did you guys hear the U .S. Senate just eliminated its dress code because you got this guy from Pennsylvania who's got a lot of problems, I mean let's just be honest. This push from the UAW for a four day work week, do you see that as the future of labor in the U .S.? I happen to believe that as a nation we should begin a serious discussion about substantially lowering the work week. Now from the ReliefFactor .com studios, here's Mike Gallagher. We have a lot to keep up with a missing F -35 fighter jet that was found finally in North Charleston, South Carolina. You got all kinds of controversies involving President Trump in some of his interviews. You have the slaughter of a police, a deputy sheriff in Los Angeles, they caught the guy. A lot of breaking news, a lot of stories about the illegal immigration crisis in America. Lost in a lot of the headlines was the Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy, taking a bit of a pot shot at Ron DeSantis. It came during an interview over the weekend that he gave to Maria Bartiromo on Fox Business. I want you to hear this clip because I didn't catch this until last night. I was intrigued by this because all of us have to be very careful as this presidential election process plays out. As I've said over and over again, if you're a never -Trumper, what are you going to do if Trump's the nominee? If you're only in for Ron DeSantis and you hate Trump and Trump is going to be the nominee for the presidential race, what are you going to do? You're going to support Joe Biden? You're going to back a Democrat? How's that going to play out for you? I think the same standard has to apply to members of Congress, certainly members of Republican Party leadership like Kevin McCarthy. Now, I think he's pretty effective. I think he's been doing a good job and he's got a mess on his hands with this potential looming government shutdown. It's like herding cats trying to keep the various members of the caucus happy. Listen to what he said to Maria Bartiromo, though, about DeSantis and Trump. What's your take on this, that as we see more indictments of Donald Trump, he seems to be gaining in terms of popularity with the public? Will he be the nominee? I think he will be the nominee. The thing is, President Trump is stronger today than he was in 2016 or 2020. And there's a reason why they saw the policies of what he was able to do with America, putting America first, making our economy stronger. We didn't have inflation. We didn't have these battles around the world. We didn't look weak around the world. Well, it looks like Ron DeSantis is now trying to work with your colleagues who are pushing for a shutdown. Yeah, but I don't think that would work anywhere. A shutdown would only give strength to the Democrats. It would give the power to Biden. It wouldn't pay our troops. It wouldn't pay our border agents. More people would be coming across. I actually want to achieve something. And this is where President Trump is so smart that he was successful in this. You know, President Trump is beating Biden right now in the polls. Yeah, we have the poll. Let's show it. He's stronger than he has ever been in this process. And look, I served with Ron DeSantis. He's not at the same level as President Trump by any shape or form. He would not have gotten elected without President Trump's endorsement. And so I believe our best step forward, pass our appropriation bills. So we're stronger. Take the wokeism out, secure our border to make America stronger. Wow. I don't think that was on my I didn't have that on my radar. Does that surprise you that Kevin McCarthy is all in for Donald Trump? So I think to be fair and to be consistent, I have to say I have to apply the same standard to Speaker McCarthy, because if DeSantis becomes the nominee, they're going to have a bit of a bumpy relationship. Now, Ron DeSantis heard about Kevin McCarthy's position and responded as well. This is Ron DeSantis answering a question from a reporter regarding Speaker McCarthy's full -fledged endorsement of Donald Trump. Well, look, I would say I mean, I think that if you look at what's happened with D .C. Republicans, they worked very closely. You know, look, Donald Trump, he supported Kevin McCarthy very strongly for speaker. I don't think he would have won the speaker vote. Donald Trump was instrumental in him earning that speaker's gavel. And they worked hand in glove really throughout his whole presidency. They were on the same team on every major spending bill that came down the pike. And they ended up together adding seven point eight trillion dollars to our national debt. Never in a four year period has that much been added than what they did together. And so he said that we're different. We are different because in Florida we run budget surpluses. We've paid down almost 25 percent of our state's debt just since I've been governor. All the debt, all the way up for all of Florida's history, we've knocked off almost 25 percent of it. So it's a much different approach to where we're doing it right. We have the number one rated economy in the country. We've cut taxes. We've expanded school choice. And we've delivered in a way that has made the state sustainable.
The Eric Metaxas Show
A highlight from Mike Signorelli
"Trump calls Florida heartbeat bill a terrible mistake, and Mike Pence talks war with Russia. So I think if you will allow me to speak critically of Donald Trump for five minutes, I will speak critically. No, no, no, no. Look, you know, and I know, everybody listens who to this program knows that I don't think Trump is perfect. I think he ought to be the next president. And I think that, as you know about me and about many people listening to this program, that we are radically pro -life. We think it's a moral issue. And I think that Trump has made, I think he misspoke. I think it was, I don't know. Well, talk about it so people understand what we're talking about. Donald Trump went on face the nation and said that the heartbeat bill Ron DeSantis bravely signed in Florida was a terrible thing, a terrible mistake. And he said that he wouldn't commit to supporting any kind of federal restriction on the taking of unborn life. And he said with characteristic real estate bravado, well, I'm going to have policies that are going to make everybody happy. Everybody's going to walk away happy from the table. That is not how things work. When you're talking about life and death issues, Mr. President, that is how things might work. If you're negotiating over ownership of a golf course. All right. All right. Each of you is going to get nine holes. Okay. You'll each get nine holes. It's wonderful. You got, you've got half a golf course, half a loaf is better than none. But we remember from the story of Solomon, half a baby is not better than none. In this case, we're talking about cutting the baby in half. Literally we're talking about should abortion, should the pro -life position be, we want a bad abortion after maybe 15 weeks, which would only get rid of maybe 8 % of the abortions in America. If that's the pro -life position, it's not worth a damn thing. That's the law in Germany. That's the law in France. That's the law in Belgium. All these countries where euthanasia is now taking over. Having a 10 week, a 15 week abortion ban solves absolutely nothing. It just means the women who are so dopey, they don't even know they're pregnant until like 18 weeks won't be able to get abortions. That's all it means. He's really just punishing the stupid. It's not saving a significant number of babies. I don't know who Trump is getting his advice from on the abortion issue, but they're not on our side. They are like the Jared Kushner. They're not on our side. What Trump is saying is a complete loser position. It's like saying we're going to build the wall. We're going to build the wall with the Mexican border, except every 20 feet there's going to be a gap. We'll get most of the wall built. There'll guess who will come. I think a couple of things need to be said. First of all, I already said it. Trump is not perfect. So he often has done things that I think are harmful to himself. And saying that I think just politically is a mistake. But we also have to say without a doubt he has been the most pro -life president we ever had in this country. Because of him and standing up for Kavanaugh, Roe v. Wade was overturned. I want to remind people of that. I also want to remind people that he spoke at the March for Life. No other president had done that. And so right now, I guess I find everything with him, not everything, but a lot of stuff just funny. It's almost like he'll say anything Ron DeSantis says, he'll say the opposite. I know. You could be triggered and tripped into that. And it's his Achilles heel that whatever Trump, whatever DeSantis says, Trump will somehow try to spin it. Trump even said that Andrew Cuomo did a better job on COVID than Ron DeSantis. That is literally the most insane thing any American politician has said since Jefferson Davis said I want to secede from the union. It's up to that level of crazy. But Trump, I mean Trump does this stuff for effect. In other words, for political effect to drive people crazy. That's why I guess I find it at least partially entertaining that he'll go out on a limb and say something like that just to trigger DeSantis. The problem is this stuff isn't cute. There were thousands of people murdered in those nursing homes in New York. Abortion isn't cute. This is not something funny. This is not like letting Jared and Ivanka turn the White House into their own little party hut. This is really serious. And our only leverage over Trump is right now during the primaries. If he gets the nomination, he can do whatever he wants because he will be elected president unless they assassinate him, which I do not put past that. I do not put that past the deal. Oh, I know that there have been attempts that we haven't heard about, but obviously they would do anything to get rid of him. We have our leverage now, especially before the Iowa caucus. Trump needs to be told if you keep saying this weak, rhino, wimpy garbage about abortion, maybe we'll hold our noses and vote for you against Joe Biden because we don't want to be put in prison camps. But we're not going to go to the mattresses for you. We're not going to go to the wall for you. We're not going to be fanatical, devoted supporters. We will hold our nose and vote for you the way we held our noses and voted for George W. Bush. Do you want to be the next George W. Bush? Well, no, John, I think it's worse than that. I think what will happen, what will happen is many evangelicals, pro -life evangelicals simply won't vote, which I think is an unbelievable mistake because they feel it's principled not to vote for Trump because he said this about what DeSantis's view. On the other hand, let him think that and maybe it's true and let him act accordingly. It's like if we are so on the reservation, Eric, that they know they have our votes no matter what they do, the Republican Party will keep treating evangelicals and pro -lifers the way the Democratic Party treats blacks. That is, you have no choice where you're going to go, take whatever scraps we throw you. So no, I think it's good. Let him be a little afraid that we will go off the reservation. No, that's why I just said that. That's why I just said that. In other words, I actually believe that that's true because when you look at what happened in the last number of elections, there are many evangelicals who are so pious in the negative sense that they would say, I'm just going to sit home and I'm not going to vote because Trump had three wives and I'm going to let Hillary Clinton or Satan or Adolf Hitler take over America because I'm so pious that I won't pull the lever for somebody who doesn't agree with me on everything or who puts out mean tweets or says things I disagree with. That is effectively how we got Biden because we didn't have a serious situation that we're in. On the other hand, Mike Pence is saying that unless we give long range missiles to Ukraine so it can kill lots of Russians, we'll have to go to war with Russia because it will invade Poland. So in order to avoid war, we have to fight a war. It's exactly what George W. Bush said about Iraq, that we have to fight the terrorists over there so we don't have to fight them over here so they won't do 9 -11 again. Now we know now Iraq had nothing to do with 9 -11. It had no weapons of mass destruction. So he lied us into the Iraq war. In Vietnam, they told us we had to fight the Vietnam war so that the communists wouldn't take over Japan and then Hawaii. The whole domino theory is something that warmongers and the military contractors they work for, they whip it out every time they want to get us in a useless war. They say, well, remember Neville Chamberlain? Remember 1938? And I always say, remember August, 1914, when they blundered into World War I and destroyed all three of the main governments involved in it, all based on nothing, based on lies, based on garbage. Sometimes it's November, September, 1938. Sometimes it's August, 1914. And you're the idiot warmonger about to plunge the world into destruction because of your silly fantasies private about being a big man. Mike Pence is one of those warmongers and he's very dangerous right now. There's never enough time to talk to you, my friend. We'll get you back as soon as possible. Thank you, folks.

"Why are we sending money to Ukraine? They want to say, shut up, serf. Go do opioids. Shut up, peasant. You're not allowed to have a voice. We only listen to oligarchs. It is this, Plato wrote about this in the Republic. It's this idea of the secret knowledge. It's very important without getting too deep into this. Plato believed in two separate forms of knowledge, messaging to the commoners and then a secret gnosis or a secret knowledge or a secret mind. They don't think that you are capable of being able to understand the deeper things. They have contempt for you. They say this out loud, right? They call you deplorable, smelly Walmart people. What is the essence of that? The essence is that you are not part of the secret society. You don't have the degrees. You're not part of the Harvard club. We are going to wall off all of society so that we're in charge. The founding fathers did not believe this. The founding fathers believed that all men are created equal. All of you have the ability to access wisdom. They believe in a philosopher king. We're the only ones that are able to actually call the shots. The founding fathers believed in the empowerment of all citizens. Huge difference. That's really what's at play here. Woodrow Wilson believes in a unelected technocratic elite. Founding fathers believe that people are the driving force of a republic. And so we're seeing these polls, and I just want to reiterate, what is the plan, man? I think Ron DeSantis has an unbelievably bright future in politics. I think Ron DeSantis has an extraordinary role to play to keep Florida red, to keep Florida this beacon of freedom. I am, and the fact I say this, people attack me. I don't care. I say things on this program that I get attacked every single day. So bring it on, man. With all due respect, Governor DeSantis and your team, you're messing up your future with this, the way you're running this campaign. You are damaging future political prospects, and that pains me. They refuse to acknowledge that. They're like, no, we're going to pierce through. I mean, I saw Ken Cuccinelli being interviewed by Matt Gaetz. He's like, well, I've never known a front runner that is a leader in the summer who ends up winning the Iowa caucus. First of all, Trump was winning all throughout that summer, especially post-Megyn Kelly debate. Number two, how many times do I have to say this? And it's like, I'm talking to myself. The rules of politics do not apply to Trump. You can argue with that. You can not like that. You could scream at the sky and be mad that it's raining. It doesn't stop raining just because you start screaming at the sky. Donald Trump can, he levitates against the forces of political gravity. Oh, well, it's not fair. He's a once in a century political figure. You can like it. You can hate it. But if you refuse to acknowledge it, you're delusional. I don't like delusional people. Usually they're in the trans lobby. Stop acting in a different reality. It's going to damage us ahead of November of 2024. The fierce response to my take here is they say, you don't understand. And again, with all possible due respect, I kind of do understand. Okay. We literally talk to millions of people every single week. We receive 35,000 emails every 10 to 15 days. Like we were pretty in touch with the Republican base, probably above most of the people online that talk a big game. My number one driving motivator is not even like, oh, Donald Trump versus DeSantis. I am deathly afraid and I'm not afraid of a lot. I'm not. When I acknowledge my fears, it's very few things. I am deathly afraid that the Democrats are going to steamroll us in November of 2024. Why? Because we have a $1.5 billion vanity project and we are running out of time. We are running out of time and we are running out of time. You know, it's funny when you host a show like this, you can never host a show to make people happy. You just have to tell the truth and whatever. Do you know what? The number one criticism I'm receiving is people think I'm being too nice to DeSantis. That's the number one piece of the, I don't care. It's everything I've said about DeSantis is true. Whatever. This is, this is a big problem. So what are, what are the Democrats spending money on right now? The boring stuff. Just look at America's votes 990, $230 million, not on a primary. Go to americavotes.org.

"It's the first day of August. You know that July and August, or straight from the Roman times, Julius Caesar and Caesar Augustus. That's some nice trivia for you. Honored to be with you. Email us, freedomatcharleykirk.com. No, I do not know as much about the Roman empire as Blake, but I know enough to be dangerous. Honored to be with you guys. I want to tell you about a tweet I sent yesterday, which is a perfect lead, but before I get into that, let me just build up to it. I find in life, whether I'm doing meetings at Turning Point USA, giving people advice, receiving emails, there's a difference between activity and results-driven behavior. Far too often, people meander through life. They don't really know what their goal is. They don't know where they're going. What is the destination? What does success look like? This seems so obvious, but it's also helpful in your own life. Have you written down on a piece of paper, what does success look like? What does a 90-day goal look like? What does a 120-day goal look like? What does a six-month goal look like? In politics, this is rarely ever said out loud. The Democrats, they have very specific goals of ushering in a progressive, totalitarian, some would say Marxist or communistic version of government over America. Now, Marxists need to do three things. It's called the big three. You've heard me talk about this before, but if you ever want to explain Marxism to a friend, it's very simple. They must destroy private property, family, and religion. That's it. Marxism must get rid of those three things. Karl Marx wrote extensively about removing those three things. Family, religion, property. Everything the parasitic left is focused on is making it harder to own private property. They want you to be a renter, harder to raise your kids, destroy the family, and less attached to a religion or a belief in a higher power, a transcendent order. So what is the goal here? I have to ask this question, which again, I should not have to ask. I have a chance to talk to some amazing people that are in the conservative movement, some people that have been unbelievably successful in business, and I had a conversation recently with someone who wrote a seven-figure check to a super PAC that was not Donald Trump's. Wrote a very big check in support of a certain candidate. It's not Ron DeSantis. And I was nice about it, but I asked, what is the goal here? Why are you writing a seven-figure check to a candidate who almost certainly is not going to win? And the donor said, well, it's a good candidate, good message. I think that this person would be a better choice than Donald Trump. But I said, yeah, have you thought through though, do we have ballot chasing, secure elections, grassroots workers in and I said, well, that's, that's actually not true. You have to make those investments. Now you have to hire the ballot chasers and it just wasn't resonating in the conversation. Basically went a different direction. Reports are coming out that tens of millions and soon to be hundreds of millions of dollars are going into super PACs to boost candidates that absent a black Swan event, that money is going to be burned. That money is going to be incinerated. Now, while Joe Biden is under legitimate accusations, cause he's a trader to the country of selling on America for cash. And I just laugh. People say, Oh yeah, Joe Biden was just talking about the weather. Right. And Loretta Lynch was just talking about golf and grandkids on the tarmac at Phoenix sky Harbor airport. Sure. It's always just golf grandkids weather. Joe Biden is under serious accusations, but the Democrats are confident because they don't have any such primary. They're building billions of dollars of war chests for infrastructure. Republicans are doing no such investments. Instead, we are interested in vanity projects, msn.com. I know some of these donors and I'm not going to criticize them. I see things differently, but it's cnbc.com by Brian Schwartz pelts Druckenmiller Navarro give big to Tim Scott's pack as DeSantis falters. I know some of the people running Tim Scott's packs. Very sweet people. I do not think this is the best expenditure of resources at all. Given the set of circumstances, our money is getting flushed largely down the toilet while Democrats are building the real plumbing of elections. So I had enough of it. You know, we had a team meeting. I said, let's send up a tweet. I don't know if it's going to be a popular tweet. I don't know if it's going to be an unpopular tweet. Donald Trump is going to be the nominee absent a black Swan event. These indictments only boost them in the polls. By the way, I'm being told by people that January six indictments are going to be filed today. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm right. We'll find out. It seems as if any moment now the January six indictments are going to come down. Maybe my sources are wrong. We'll see, but it seems like it's imminent. Plus you've got Fulton County and all this. We're so desensitized to indicting the opposition leader. We just say, oh, it's indictment day. It's another day that ends in Y. The fact that we're desensitized to it is sick. It's cruel. It's awful. It shows how effective the Marxist totalitarian progressives have been at moving the Overton window. So I said, let's send up a tweet. This is a complete and total waste of time. What's going on in this primary. We are not building Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin infrastructure. We are in a place where we have limited resources. The left has unlimited resources. We had an event attorney point action conference. I'm telling you right now, Donald Trump is not going to have his support eroded. I had another call with a donor recently, and he said, Charlie, Donald Trump is not going to win the nomination because Ron DeSantis, once he gets him on a debate stage, the country will see the contrast. I said, with all possible due respect, you do not understand the Republican base. You just don't. The Republican base is not looking at this as a policy debate. We've been through this in great detail. I try to communicate this to people and I do so unsuccessfully because there's just such a huge disconnect. And I know that's kind of a very cliche thing to say. I'm happy to try to explain it to you, but I'm also telling you I'm in touch with the base and I'm part of the base. Not going to happen. Donald Trump's basement is now 50%. His ceiling is upwards of 75 to 80%. So it's going to be somewhere in that range, which by the way, means he'll win like 95% of all the delegates. So we sent out this tweet that made people so angry in the DeSantis camp and other places. And I went out of my way to be nice. In fact, I received criticism for being too nice to Ron DeSantis. In fact, people said, Charlie, how dare you be so nice? Okay. I said this, the newly released New York Times, CNN poll should confirm what many of us have suspected for months now. The GOP primary is over. The poll showed Donald Trump up, what, 35 points, guys, right? 35, 40 points. Is that right? Something like, I want to make sure I'm precise, 37 points. Thank you. I like Governor DeSantis and have tremendous respect for him as a man and as a governor. I consider him a friend and I believe he's America's greatest governor. As such, I have refused to get in the mud and attack him. He's a great American. I want him to remain a dominant political player for years and decades to come, but his campaign has failed to gain traction. Pause. I got attacked for even that paragraph. Now is the time for conservatives unite and defeat the Democrats and their machine in 2024. Yes, Trump will be facing four or five indictments, but the American people see through them as the political witch hunt that they are. They recognize that the Intel agencies and federal Leviathan have been weaponized to eliminate their number one threat. But our greatest challenge ahead of 2024 is the billions of dollars being spent on ballot harvesting, negative ads and lawsuits by a well-funded and motivated left. They will outperform polling in key districts because they are investing resources to get out low propensity voters who otherwise couldn't be bothered. Will the GOP do the same? We cannot afford to waste $1.5 billion on a pointless massacre of a primary. We will not have enough money left over to properly invest in ballot chasing in key states. Investment must be made now. We must unite. And again, I will get back to how I started. What is the goal? Is the goal to spend a bunch of money, make yourself feel good? Or is the goal to defeat the Marxist Democrats in November of 2024? And I could be honest with you based on conversations with some, not all, based on conversations with some donors, they don't care about beating the Marxist Democrats in 2024. They would rather spend all their money to disrupt and confuse and upset Donald Trump than make any investments in Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin. And we're seeing that now. It's going to be a billion dollar primary. Donald Trump has a chance to just run the table. Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Nevada. But for what? What is the goal here? And the Democrats are delighting. The Democrats know that their path to holding on power, despite them being unpopular, illegitimate and traitors to America, is that our own side can't get its act together, that we're going to have a one point five billion dollar primary. And then all of a sudden in April, the next year, I guarantee you, some of these donors will change their tune. They'll say, oh, Donald Trump's not that bad. I've been through this. I've seen it before. OK, and they're going to be like, well, where can we spend money? And what I'm going to say is too late. It's too late. While we were warning you, you guys wanted Tim Scott to become president. Yeah, he finished fifth in New Hampshire and third in his home state of South Carolina. Did we hire the ballot chasers? No. Did we secure the elections? No. But hey, you guys ran your super PAC ads. How'd that work out for you? Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

What makes this show different is that we're doers. Show's the main thing I do every day, and then I do my day job, organize students on campus. We're hiring 50 new people. We raise a good amount of money. Praise the Lord. We have 280,000 donors. Why does that make the show different? I can speak from authority of what is working and what is not working. Building an actual organization like our 501 C for turning point action. It's not easy. Tyler Boyer does a great job. Austin Smith, the whole thing. The point is this is that I'm able to give some insight. I believe that these other people, you know, like this one guy who I'm not going to say who hosts a radio program like, oh, the real reason they're indicting Trump is because they want to run against Trump. I'm like, dude, just like stick to sports. Okay. It's ridiculous. So I could tell you that one of the conversations I had recently was with some DeSantis advisors and they said, Charlie, how dare you send out these sort of tweets? This is before the tweet, but at the essence, I've been not how dare you like Greta Thunberg, but they were pretty upset. And they said that, you know, a vote has not even been cast. That's true. Sort of. There were votes cast, not officially at the turning point action conference, where you guys decided not to show up. And 85% of our attendees support Donald Trump. So my message or my question to anybody, and they're welcome on the program, Tim Scott or Chris Christie or Nikki Haley or Ron DeSantis, how do you plan to win over Trump voters? You have to answer that question directly and you can't dodge, or you could do the Chris Christie thing, which is just be super against Trump. And yes, you will get like five or 6% of the vote. Okay. So what is the plan? What is the path? And if you don't have an answer to that, you're running for president for the wrong reasons. What is your path to beating Trump, to moving his ridiculously loyal supporters away from him? Do you have any evidence that those voters will walk away from Trump? Any evidence in a straw poll, in an event, in donations, in a primary previously? Do you have any evidence that in a Republican primary, when Donald Trump is enthusiastically involved, that you can go head to head and beat him? Not hopium, not that I'm sitting on $120 million. That sounds like John Ellis Bush, Jeb, who sat on $100 million. So I don't need to hear these like long lectures about how your campaign strategy is different. And some people say, well, Charlie, you know, one of the DeSantis intelligentsia people, which again, I love DeSantis as a governor. Terrific. 100%. I refuse to say a negative word about him. That nuance is lost on some people because they think I'm against him. I'm pro-America because I want to defeat the Marxists. Okay. So I say to them, I say, they say to me, oh, we're going to expand the primary electorate to low propensity Republicans and people that are outside of the Trump base. Like that's not going to happen. Okay. The only person to ever substantially and significantly expand the Republican primary electorate is Donald J. Trump. And if that were true, why is it that Ron DeSantis does not have an avalanche of small dollar donations? Small dollar donations, you can not fake. Even more than rally attendance, small dollar donations are the harbinger of everything. How do I know that? This is how you knew Bernie Sanders was going to give Hillary Clinton a run for her money. Bernie Sanders should have been the nominee in 2016. Not that I am a big Bernie Sanders guy. He's a Marxist hates the country. Hillary Clinton robbed it from Bernie Sanders. In fact, I think some of that resentment actually resulted in Donald Trump winning the presidency in 2016. That's a deeper conversation, but I think that the Sanders primary Trump general voter was actually completely ignored by the Clinton campaign. Not my main point. Bernie Sanders, Blake, you can get the numbers. I think he had like 1.3 million donors, something unbelievable. Small dollar donors results in caucus attendance. It results in all the different metrics. And here's the thing, if anybody wants to listen to me, if you're going to give 20 bucks to Donald Trump, you're not a persuadable voter.

"And when you look at that and you look at the attacks on black history, you look at the attacks on Latinos, you look at that and then you see him promoting AAPI, you see his agenda a little bit more. And, yeah, he plans to take that to the White House. He's going to use every bit of the immigration, all the crackdowns, all that stuff. And he's probably not going to talk about the economic impacts to his state. Like I said earlier, Ron DeSantis is dangerous, very dangerous because he's smarter than Donald Trump and he has the policy people around him, policy wonks, legal wonks, all that stuff. And that makes him so much more dangerous. And if he gets into the White House, and I have my serious doubts about that, but still, if he does, like, it's going to be a bad time for immigrants. And with all the rhetoric, the way that anti -immigrant rhetoric is worded, it's mostly anti -Latino, it's Latino phobia. It's we're all going to pay for that if we speak Spanish or if we're a little browner than the next white guy, you know, might be paying for that. So hate crimes against us are rising. And I think a lot of it has to do with the rhetoric that people like Ron DeSantis use. And if he gets a platform like Donald Trump had in the White House, I think we're going to be in some dire straits in the Latino community. Well, listen, we got to bring you back because we haven't even dug deep into sort of like how Florida is a Latino state to begin with and how he does really well with that sector. And I do question whether he will continue to do really well if this law becomes real and you see the impacts. But that's another conversation. We'll have you back, Arturo.

"Last year in April, when Texas governor Greg Abbott had a different kind of political stunt involving truckers, when remember his enhanced safety inspections of truckers entering the state from Mexico ended up costing taxpayers billions, not millions, billions. In fact, between April 6th and 15th of 2022, when the rule was in effect, the US lost close to $9 billion because of delays at the border and Texas alone lost close to $444 .7 million per day. And you have these local news outlets in Florida already talking about the potential economic impact of a trucker boycott or just the economic impact of the state law of SB 1718, when it's just being so punitive. So you saw it in Texas last year, Arturo. Yeah. Like why is it happening? This is just almost carbon copy. Like how can you, what do you make out of all this in Florida? I mean, we can definitely talk about DeSantis and running for president and the timing of all this in a second, but just what happened in Texas, it didn't work in Texas, it's probably not going to work in Florida in the end. Thoughts? When it comes to the Florida law, it's clear they didn't pay attention to history, they didn't pay attention to what happened in Texas, Alabama, Arizona, and all these other places where they passed anti -immigrant laws. And to, I hate to say these words, but to Ron DeSantis' credit, this is what makes them more dangerous than Donald Trump. Donald Trump was surrounded by internet bros, basically, right? Guys that made their name on the internet, spreading hate, blah, blah, blah. Ron DeSantis is surrounded by people that understand the legislative process. They understand what they can get done, what can get passed, what can't get passed, the language that needs to be used. They're slick. I mean, they're way slicker than Trump could ever be. And that's the biggest part that scares me about Ron DeSantis. The question now is, is that law going to hold up to the inevitable lawsuits that are coming? Cause you know they're coming.

Si nosotros nos metemos al rollo y decimos pura verga que vamos para Florida, a ver si es cierto cómo le van a llegar las cosas a Florida. Boycott officially hasn't started yet. There are several local TV outlets in Jacksonville, West Palm beach, and Miami that have already reported about the economic impact of a possible boycott. And even organizations like LULAC, the NAACP and human rights campaign have issued travel advisories for Florida. So, okay. I've laid it all out for you, Arturo. You saw it on TikTok. You broke the story. It took off. You wrote a piece for Latino rebels a couple of days later. So give us an update or give us sort of a chronology of how this mobilization has been spreading on social media and this growing call to boycott the state. It originally started by me just screwing around. Like I haven't been on TikTok, but for like a couple of days at this point. So you were just like, we're like on TikTok. So you're just like, join TikTok. And I did not know that. Yeah, no, yeah, yeah. So like I don't post videos or I haven't started anyway. So I stumbled on it and I was like, I saw one, didn't think nothing of it. Later on, I see another one, then another one, then another one. And I'm like, this might be a thing. So I started looking up the hashtags they were using and man, that was a lot. So, you know, I went with the first three I saw because yeah, I wasn't going to download everybody's stuff posted everywhere, but I went with the first three I saw because there was a lot of people saying, yeah, I doubt that this is misinformation, blah, blah, blah.

He dropped some nuggets of wisdom and I really enjoyed having Eric on and hoping that damn strike ends soon and that the writers get what they want. But we'll keep following it as we always do. So listen, today on the show, we're going to talk a little bit about Florida, as my stepmother says. But, you know, recently Governor Ron DeSantis is just passing all this anti -immigrant legislation just as he conveniently announced his presidency this week for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. Well, I am running for president of the United States to lead our great American combat. I think what was done with Twitter is really significant for the future of our country. We cannot have a society in which government is colluding with major tech platforms to enforce an orthodoxy. So that happened and Elon Musk was involved, but I'm not ready for 2024. I say that on In the Thick all the time. But listen, going back to Florida, so this latest crackdown on immigration has prompted a lot of truck drivers, Latino truck drivers, a lot of speaking Latino truck drivers to go on social media in an effort to boycott the state in protests against SB 1718, which was a law that was recently passed by the legislature and signed into law by DeSantis. And one component of the bill includes invalidating out of state driver's licenses, as well as forcing government contractors to use the e -verify system, which could put some businesses at risk of losing a substantial amount of their labor force or face heavy fines. So as a result, Latino truck drivers have gone to TikTok to urge other drivers, both in English and in Spanish, to boycott the Sunshine State. And it's also prompted a lot of non -Latino truckers to also call for a boycott in solidarity. So we're going to get into all this and we're

"But now to Disney, let's begin with the key finding yesterday that governor desantis made in his statement about Disney and what the fast one Disney attempted to pull when they were losing the many state of Disney, which very few people, including me, that didn't know existed, cut number 21 governor to Santa at a press conference yesterday. You know, one of the things they tried to do was put restrictive covenants on the land that the district owns. So if you look at this whole special district, Walt Disney corporation obviously owns a lot of it, but the district owns other land. You know, quite frankly, I wasn't even thinking about that land. This was not something that was really important one way or another. We just wanted to live on the same rules, pay the debt, pay the taxes, all that stuff. We'll come to think of it now, people are like, well, what should we do with this land? And so, you know, it's like, okay, I mean, people have said, you know, maybe have another maybe create a state park. Maybe try to do more amusement parks. Someone even said like, maybe you need another state prison. Who knows? I mean, I just think that the possibilities are endless. And so that is now going to be analyzed. It's now going to be analyzed. Good. I myself. A land use lawyer for 30 plus years. I've retired from the active practice of lie to teach constitutional law now. I do this show. I write a column for The Washington Post. I do others speaking events through the Washington speakers bureau. I'm busy. But I don't miss land use because it was endlessly trying to try to get remote and often indifferent government to pay attention to your needs and legitimate requests for zoning changes. But it's not unconstitutional to have zoning power not since village of Euclid versus ambler realty in 1923. It's been constitutional to zone for a hundred years. And when I found out that Disney had the right to zone its own property, I thought that that's constitutionally suspect. That's a category of one. That tonight due process to every other landowner in Florida. It's a nice every other landowner in Florida the equal protection of the laws. And I am glad that it's changing more of the governor desantis presser in a moment because the Disney issue is a much bigger issue for all of corporate America. I do want to know, play for you what Kevin McCarthy had to say at the New York Stock Exchange. We'll come back to Disney in a bit. Cut number 15, please. Kevin McCarthy at the New York Stock Exchange yesterday. Since the president continues to hide, House Republicans will take action. Okay, so here's our plan. In the coming weeks, the house will vote on a bill to lift the debt ceiling into the next year. Save taxpayers, trillions of dollars, make us less dependent upon China, curve our high inflation, all without touching, social security and Medicare. Simply put, it puts it on a fiscal responsible path in three ways. It limits for 75 days. The president has ignored the debt ceiling. All right, stop right there. And now go down to cut number 17, Jacob, cut number 17. Unfortunately, I have not heard from The White House since our very first meeting. President Biden has been missing in action and misleading the public. Mister president, with all due respect, enough is enough. This is not how the leader of the free world should act. Your partisan political gains are provoking the very crisis you claim to avoid. The problem is getting worse, not better. We are now $31 trillion in debt. That is so stunning that the president has not called the speaker in 75 days. It is it's remarkable. It is to the discredit of Joe Biden and team Joe Biden that they want us to be in a fiscal crisis. They want the markets to be jittery. They need anything to pretend that he's actually in charge. And this is manufactured. Disney and Joe Biden share one thing in common arrogance. You know what happens to arrogance in the United States, people respond badly to arrogance. Very, very badly. Disney was arrogant..

"I think Trump truths something like this saying, hey, desantis, you haven't experienced this, I don't know the exact words, but basically saying you may experience this in the future, like what I'm experiencing now. This persecution or the media coming after you and so on. Do you think this one sided political persecution using our justice system is something that a lot of people care about who aren't super conservative people because some people say, oh, Trump has more of the right wing base, but desantis could win because he's going to get all these other center people and all this. I'm concerned though because I kind of feel like our country is so divided that I'm not really sure how many how many people that would be in that kind of center part that might be the people who desantis would win over. And if he's kind of giving up a lot of the more of the base who might care about these kind of issues, like how do you think that would play out? My case for desantis is he does not drive out Democrat turn off the way Trump does. So Trump drives out Republican voter turnout in a way that no one has ever seen and he also drives out Democrat voter turnout in a way that no one has ever seen. If you look at the Florida election, Democrat turnout was kind of abysmal. So if desantis were somehow able to run in the general, then it wouldn't be a give me election for him, but Democrats would

"You know, I like both these people or I just want there to be a fair justice system. I don't want there to be this political persecution of only conservatives or Soros, DAs, and so on. And so it seems like the right thing to do would have been to rise above the personal, the personal, but to make it more about that issue, which is obviously such a key problem for so many people, even besides Trump, like you mentioned. And I saw Vivek Rama Swami did kind of a good response on that. Did you feel like his response was pretty positive? Yeah, he understands the issue on a very conceptual intellectual level, which is what you would expect a desantis too, but maybe you get to Trump hitting you and you think the last thing I want to do is defend Trump, but you realize you're not defending Trump, you're defending the principle. You didn't have to mention Trump. You can just do what I did and mention all these other cases that have happened. And say, this is what they're doing to Trump because he's the biggest great white whale. He's what they want. And that means if they can get him, they can get anyone so something has to be done. And then of course, desantis, people go, well, if he brought that up in court, then, but this is showing me that they don't really understand the moment. I'm sure we know all this. We know Trump is going to surrender himself anyway. So that's an easy win. It's sort of like when I tell people when they're planning a wedding or something like that. And invite people that you know or expect aren't going to show up because they're glad that you invited them so you've extended good grace to them. And they're not going to show up anyway. It's just an easy win, so you're not even you're not even expanding your headcount. So everyone who's done any kind of social planning knows, oh yeah, these people probably aren't even going to show up even better. I'll make sure I'll invite those people because then it's a nice sentimental moment for them and it feels good. And it doesn't cost us anything because they're actually not going to show up. Yeah, for sure. And it seems like desantis does have some of that political acumen when it comes to other things. If someone or business in Florida goes against his roles, he definitely fights back against them. So it's kind of out of character for him to not have a stronger stance in the situation. So maybe it is because of the personal personal stuff. But when it comes to this kind of desantis moment, I know you wrote that desantis, may have missed the moment here. What moment do you feel like this could have been for desantis? Had he chosen a different path and chosen to have a stronger stance to Soros? Right. Excuse me. If I'm desanto or desantis that I'm writing his speech or giving him the

"And the voters will reward you. And just as Trump and his cpac speech made some thinly veiled references to desantis without naming him, so too did Ron DeSantis do that in his Reagan library address, he clearly was drawing a contrast with Trump here, even though he did not cite the former president's name. You didn't see our administration leaking like a sieve. You didn't see a lot of drama or paulus intrigue, which you saw was surgical precision execution. Day after day after day, and because we did that, we beat the left day after day after day. Desantis will be front and center in the political news this week because he's got his legislative session opening tomorrow Tuesday in Florida. He's got a state of the state address and at the end of the week he's making his debut trip to the kick-off state in the nomination contest, Iowa, which will no doubt get a ton of attention and Donald Trump, the other FrontRunner in this race right now is just three days behind him, he'll be in Iowa next Monday. While a lot of the potential 2024 field decided to skip cpac altogether, there are two former Trump administration officials who showed up to address the gathering at cpac and yes, they may have gotten a far more tepid response than Donald Trump got in this maga conference, if you will, but it was interesting to listen to both Nikki Haley, the former UN ambassador in the Trump administration. And Mike Pompeo, Donald Trump's former Secretary of State offer up, again, some contrast with Trump without taking Trump on directly. If you're tired of losing, put your trust in a new generation. And if you want to win, not just as a party, but as a country, then stand with me. We can't become the left.

"Your justice, and for those who have been wronged and betrayed, I am your retribution. I am your retribution. You can hear in those remarks right there that he's grievance politics is still front and center as the part of his brand. Either they win or we win, and if they win, we no longer have a country, and I promise you this. And it has proven to be a very central component to the appeal where he taps into this notion of the forgotten, how he portrays it, that millions and millions of Americans have been forgotten by the elite establishment of both parties and that he can serve as their voice as their comeback to some vision of America from some previous time. That's the whole sort of make America great again. And we have seen over the course of the last 8 years where it has met with success and where this brand of politics has met with failure for Donald Trump, that is the big question that sort of hangs over 2024, first in a Republican primary context, and then in a general election context, if indeed, he can meet with success again with this brand and messaging. Certainly, Donald Trump showed no more allegiance to the truth than he did when he was in office or as a candidate for president prior to that, he delivered this nearly two hour speech and CNN's facts first reporter Daniel Dale said it was one of his most thoroughly dishonest speeches. You can go to CNN dot com and read Daniel Dale's fact check, which is not at all to dismiss that very real appeal that Donald Trump has with tens of millions of Americans, it's just that he has the ability to do a nearly two hour speech and have unbelievable, untruths, falsehoods, deliberate lies, inserted into the text. Donald Trump did make note in a gaggle with some select reporters over the weekend that if indeed he is indicted on either federal or state charges, as you know, he's got multiple investigations ongoing right now against him, he said he will still proceed with his 2024 presidential candidacy, and it's less interesting that he would continue with his candidacy, that sort of fits with what we expect. What's more interesting to me when I heard that news over the weekend is that Donald Trump actually acknowledged these investigations in a way that could potentially result in an indictment. He dismisses them out of hand pretty regularly. This was a clear admission from him that there could be that eventuality, even if he would not, of course, see those indictments as the fair carrying out of justice in any way. Meanwhile, on the other coast, in California at the Reagan library, Ron DeSantis gave a preview to high profile Republicans, party activists, some high dollar donors there. Of his vision of what it takes to both win and govern as a Republican. Once again, desantis uses his experience in Florida as the very blueprint for what he could take nationally as a potential presidential candidate. And so the lesson is, swing for the fences, you will be rewarded. Don't worry about the polls. Don't worry about the daily news cycle. And for Pete's sake, don't worry about the media, what they say, do what

"So the cpac snub is a problem for team desantis. Now I want to say this because we have a lot of desantis listeners in our audience. And I like desantis. I really like desantis. I want Ron DeSantis to succeed. I believe that Ron DeSantis would make a great president. The question is, the timing is this the time for desantis to make his move. Well, his team is making some missteps, and these missteps need to be corrected, and I want to go through this. And then we're going to play we're going to play this interview with Mike Pompeo. But one of the issues with desantis, his team is keeping him cloistered. They don't want him out. They don't want him doing meet and greets with the rank and file. Big dollar donors, no problem. Fox News channel interviews that's great, but by and large, his team has kept him isolated from conservative media platforms and it's a very odd decision. But they are holding all of the conservative journalists at arm's length and quite frankly, it's very condescending. Now, again, I want to stress this. I like desantis, and I'm just I'm offering some free advice here, but he needs to loosen up any east to stop reading his own headlines. That's what he's got to do. Now, there's no doubt. No doubt that desantis, I get it, those big dollar donors from club for growth very tempting, and there's no doubt that it's very flattering to be wined and dined by the party elders and the bright lights of Fox News channel, no doubt intoxicating. But if Ron DeSantis really wants to win hearts and minds of conservatives, then he needs to be walking the halls of cpac and not sipping the fruity drinks on the beach with Jeb Bush. And again, I like the guy. I really do. But he had a choice to make and he chose to hang out with the can the art crowd instead of the meatloaf crown. And I think it was the wrong decision to make. So look, here's where we need to go from here, and this is my takeaway from cpac and where we are. There's no reason we shouldn't have thousands and thousands of people here, but we don't. That tells me that we may have an issue here. There are fissures growing within the Republican Party. Now I believe that we ought to have a very vigorous debate. I believe we ought to have a very vigorous campaign season. And if there are 13 people running for The White House and the Republican nomination, then so be it, made the best person win the day. But that person has to be the best person and the person who's going to represent the base of the party who's going to represent the party platform. And whoever that person is, everybody has to agree to get behind that individual. Got to do it. And if we don't, we're going to fight, we're going to stay divided, and we will lose in the general election. It's really that simple ladies and gentlemen. All right, as you know what we're going to do, we're going to take a break. When we come back, we're going to dip into this interview we did yesterday with senator with former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo..

"Office. And immediately. He had a ton of support because of his open racism and white supremacy. And Ron DeSantis has found a way to basically use the word woke in place of black, so when he says woke policies, he means policies that benefit black people. So his office literally fought to keep important parts of black history being taught in the AP African American studies course. He is banning books that are basic black history books. A book on Jackie Robinson, banned teachers have had to remove every book from their shelves. It is a disgusting time. In the state of Florida, because Ron DeSantis knows that the more racist he is, the more support he'll get the more he

"And that was his whole objective. Wind big in Iowa and New Hampshire and then basically use that to catapult him as the FrontRunner, but he hit a brick wall in South Carolina with minority voters. And that was his Achilles heel. So now you go ahead now to 2024 and president Trump. Heads up, he will be in trouble. So if you're around desantis and you say, okay, I'm going to go, I'm going to run. You basically want as soon as possible after your initial primaries to have a heads up race. You do not want a multi candidate primary, because that will only help the FrontRunner in the same way it did to Trump in 2016. But your question is, are all of those other folks who think they can be president and that they can beat president Trump when they can win in a Republican primary? Will they step aside? And the answer is going to be no because everybody thinks they can be president and they can topple someone into primary. And I think to complete that thought and to finish up today, I think my biggest thing is that what separates you from everybody, right? Donald Trump in 2016, what separated Donald Trump from everybody, loud New Yorker, tell us how it is, doesn't care about people's feelings. Superstar, again, TV real estate mogul, whatever you want to call it. He was different. There's just no doubt about that. Again, I think desantis is different. He is the number one governor in the country, right? Well known for many things. Good things that we think are good, bad things that maybe the left things are bad. But he's well known on both sides of the aisle. Everybody knows that guy. That's what I think separates him as, again, mister governor. I don't know what anybody else has that truly separates them to say, wow, that guy could make a splash or that girl could make a splash. I just don't know what it is. And if you look at the Republican presidential primary in 2024, Donald Trump already has a dedicated base. Whether there's one opponent or 50. He's going to get a certain percentage of the vote no matter what. And the problem for the challengers is going to be okay. How do I separate myself from this entire pack? And then be the only person running against Donald Trump, because a lot of those undecided voters, I'm telling you, they will split amongst the ten or so other Republicans and just like in 2016, Donald Trump could win these primaries and pick up delegates with 25, 30% of the vote. That's how it's going to play out in 2024. I'm telling you, history is going to repeat itself. If you want to find a crystal ball, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out, folks. Just look at the 2016 Republican primary campaign season and it's going to repeat itself in 2024. Last question, 30 seconds, who's the democratic nominee as well? Joe Biden, Joe Biden. A 100%. Other people are going to run, but it's going to be Joe Biden as the democratic nominee. And he and president Trump will just sit back, let all the for lack of a better phrase lower tier candidates, rip each other apart, and those two guys, I believe, will be a match up in 2024. A rematch all right, folks,

"Words, there are so many growing parallels now between the 2024 primary and exactly how the 2016 Republican primary played out. How it was basically 17 candidates. Donald Trump is the FrontRunner in these 16 other Republicans. I guess sitting outside of the bubble just didn't know what to do. No one could have escaped that 16 candidate PAC. No one can get out of that bubble and make a dent on Trump. Okay, so I'm going to ask a follow-up to that. So in 2016, though, that was not the case up front though, right? Donald Trump was not the favorite up front, correct? Now from the establishment, no, I mean, the establishment pick was Jeb Bush. Yeah. I mean, can you imagine Jeb Bush running against Hillary Clinton? But Donald Trump had name ID, he maximized earned media. And you know what? His credit and the democratic side of the Pete Buttigieg. He was broke as a joke at the very beginning. Nobody knew who he was, but he maximized earned media, like no other, and he rose to the path. But what did Buttigieg in? He lost the black vote in South Carolina. South Carolina elected Joe Biden. Buttigieg had a ton of momentum after New Hampshire and Iowa, but he basically had a death knell in South Carolina. So on the Republican side of the aisle though, it's going to be really interesting because desantis alone. Now, if it were a heads up race, if it were just Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis, president Trump would be in trouble. If it was just Donald Trump in just Nikki Haley, president Trump would be in trouble. You really think so. A 100% based on polling based on data a 100%. But the problem that the Republican PAC is going to have is that Donald Trump just like 2016, he's going to be considered the FrontRunner. He's going to basically be this huge media spotlight and the other candidates in 2024 are just basically going to devour each other and take from each other's numbers. You know, Haley is going to take from desantis. Desantis is going to take from Haley. They're not going to be taking from Donald Trump. So I firmly believe if it's a big, multi candidate race, Donald Trump will be the nominee in 2024. If it's president Trump heads up against one Republican, there's going to be trouble. So isn't there something to say then to, I guess, now I'm speaking about egos too.

If they're willing to sell two thousand plus powered weapons. we know about to mexican drug cartels vicious vicious. Wouldn't they just ignore it. Can't be that far fetched that they might just simply ignore something that they know might blow up at some point right. I don't know. I hope that's not the case. I hope it's just gross incompetence however when you start again to connect the dots and you see the pattern. You really have to wonder and if they are that grossly incompetent. They need to be eliminated and they need rebe rebuilt from the bottle back to draining the swamp which trump did not do a very good could have done much better. He tried but but he could have done a much better job. Tell you first of all every everybody up at the higher levels of the fbi. Got that first week by. I would just eliminate the whole agency.
