It's capturing the tension of the world. 14 00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:49.679 And tonight's show because of what was going on, I 15 00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:52.759 was going to dedicate it exclusively to China, and I 16 00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:54.920 was gonna call it make Love not War. I don't 17 00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:58.119 want trade wars. I want fair trade. The world's not fair, 18 00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:01.399 but we just have to navigate through it. But then 19 00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:05.319 the whole subject of money and budgeting and where this 20 00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:09.719 country's spending their money captured my attention. I call. I 21 00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:12.959 need to remind you there's an old saying or important 22 00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:17.879 say that figures lie, but liars also. Figure numbers should 23 00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:20.840 be straightforward, but they're not. You have to look closely. 24 00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:24.640 You need to be smart, or your forensic accountant will 25 00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:27.760 be I want to talk money in its totality, corporate money, 26 00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:30.439 corporate budgets, but particularly I want to talk about how 27 00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:33.040 you approach it because the United States is under attack 28 00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:35.200 right now. We're at war with ourselves with the way 29 00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:40.280 we're spending money. The nonsense that USAID was laid for, 30 00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:43.400 it's just crazy. You know, we have a corporate budget. 31 00:01:43.480 --> 00:01:46.480 Let me just make it simple. Every single dollar is 32 00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:50.599 accounted for, every single dollar is approved. Everyone looks at 33 00:01:50.599 --> 00:01:54.560 everything you take marketing, travel, What class of service are 34 00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:58.000 you allowing? At what level we're hotels? Are you allowing? 35 00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:01.680 Are people allowed to take taxis limos? Every single line 36 00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:04.079 is looked at. Then in marketing you want to talk 37 00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:06.959 at advertising, men's how much money are you going to 38 00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:10.960 spend on men versus women? Which products? Where are you 39 00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:14.719 going to place your advertising? How often? And then there's 40 00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:17.840 the question of the course provide him? And then overall 41 00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:21.039 the most important question of all, why are you doing it? 42 00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:24.439 You go even further entertainment. Are you to spend your 43 00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:28.759 money on taking people's sports arenas or concerts? How about dinner? 44 00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:31.400 Are you going to take them to different countries and 45 00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:33.479 this is where you're going or the people in different 46 00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:35.879 comptries you're going to visit with they want to know, 47 00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:40.879 with whom they want to know? Always why you're doing it? 48 00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:44.360 With the big question why every single dollar is looked 49 00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:48.039 at an accounted for, except it seems in the USA budget. 50 00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:52.639 Donald Trump is president, but he's a CEO first, I bet, 51 00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:56.280 and in his heart CEO foremost. Now, he may love 52 00:02:56.319 --> 00:02:58.439 the presidency and he loves the country he's doing it, 53 00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:00.960 but he knows how to run. He knows how to 54 00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:03.960 plan and process. No one can run anything without a budget, 55 00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:07.439 let alone a corporation and of course the United States government. 56 00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:09.759 So now here we are in a show that I 57 00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:12.400 wanted to talk about. We're at war with Elon Musk. 58 00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:17.000 So much for the love. There's a great Einstein story 59 00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:20.599 that comes to mind. Einstein is teaching a class and 60 00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:23.520 he's working on a blackboard and he puts up the 61 00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:28.680 number nine times one equals nine. Then he puts up 62 00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:31.719 nine times two is eighteen, and he goes all the 63 00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:34.960 way through ten, and at nine times ten he puts 64 00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:38.360 up an answer in ninety one and the class starts 65 00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:42.680 laughing and ridiculing him. And when it dies down, he 66 00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:45.960 looks at them and said, you know, it's interesting. I 67 00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:49.879 got ten answers right. Nobody gave me any credit for that, 68 00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:53.000 and then one answer is wrong, and all you want 69 00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:54.919 to do is make fun of me and ridicule me. 70 00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:59.439 The point is, in life and society and media, people 71 00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:03.840 will always find your mistakes. And who doesn't make mistakes? 72 00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:06.919 Only those people who do nothing. So here we are 73 00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:11.080 the leftis at war with Elon Musk. When I was 74 00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:13.360 ten years old, my mother and father sat me down 75 00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:15.719 and gave me a ten dollar bill and they said 76 00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:18.120 it's your allowance for the week. And they told me 77 00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:19.800 you have to think about it. Mark. You have to 78 00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:23.560 be very careful because you're only going to get ten dollars. 79 00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:26.319 So if you go to the candy store, don't spend 80 00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:28.680 all your money on the first day you need it. 81 00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:30.720 For the week. You have to look at the price 82 00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:33.680 of candy, your gum. You need to make a plan, 83 00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:36.639 and then don't come to us when your money runs out. 84 00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:39.000 It's your money. You have to respect it and you 85 00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:41.759 have to treat it well and talking respect and talking 86 00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:47.279 money and talking always in fashion. My lawyer, my co host, 87 00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:49.279 my son, Jesse Weber. 88 00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:51.680 Hello, La Lallo. Good to be back on the show 89 00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:51.920 with you. 90 00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:54.560 Hey, it's great. They have a question for you right 91 00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:57.800 out of the box. I've always been serious with you 92 00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:00.759 and money and budging when you got married. How did 93 00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:02.800 I cancel you on budgeting? I don't even remember. 94 00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:06.279 It was very very simple. I think that this feels 95 00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:08.160 like it would be straightforward. Maybe a lot of people 96 00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:11.199 don't know. You said you have to. You have to 97 00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:13.720 figure this out. How much are you making every month? 98 00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:16.720 And what are your expenses? That's what you're the number 99 00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:19.560 one thing. And are you making enough money to meet 100 00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:21.839 your expenses or things? You have to cut back on it? 101 00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:23.759 So you make a list. Here's the how much I'm 102 00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:26.000 taking in. Here are my list of expenses. And when 103 00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:29.639 I say expenses, it's things you absolutely need to pay for, 104 00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:33.079 things that you you could maybe be a little bit 105 00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:35.439 more flexible on, and things that you want to buy 106 00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:36.959 but you don't you don't have the money to buy. 107 00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:40.879 Give an example, rent rent every month, that's a you 108 00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:42.879 have to pay that every month, right, you have to 109 00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:46.439 Now now you have to eat, doesn't mean that you 110 00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:48.160 have to go out to restaurants all the time. 111 00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:50.439 Maybe you buy groceries, maybe you cook a little bit more. 112 00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:54.079 And then of course the bottom line is clothes or trips, 113 00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:56.000 things that you want to spend money on. But you 114 00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:57.680 have the actual money too, And as long as you 115 00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:01.480 are making it, taking enough money and save money properly, 116 00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:04.319 then you can have a little more discretionary income. 117 00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:07.360 And I guess I should is did you learn from it? 118 00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:08.560 And was I right about it? 119 00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:09.279 I did? 120 00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:09.759 I did. 121 00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:13.319 First of all, it's interesting because I've always done my 122 00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:16.360 own life, living by my own budget and taking care 123 00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:19.720 of myself. And then when you get married and you 124 00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:21.639 have somebody else and they have things that they want 125 00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:23.839 and things that they do, and you're together, and now 126 00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:27.240 the cost of a meal is double. It's an interesting thing. 127 00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:29.519 But she's also working as well. It's been a very 128 00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:32.519 good educational process and I think I think we're quite 129 00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:34.879 responsible when it comes to our budgets. 130 00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:37.959 Well, with that in mind, I think that the government 131 00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:41.879 has the right and has the obligation to do the 132 00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:43.959 same thing. Now would you agree with me on that? 133 00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:45.279 So far we're doing good today. 134 00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:48.560 I agree, but I also think that there are certain 135 00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:52.319 protocols and rules and laws put in place that, for example, 136 00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:53.519 a president can't just. 137 00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:55.319 Do everything that they want to do, even if you 138 00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:56.480 think it's the right thing to do. 139 00:06:56.959 --> 00:06:59.720 Well, that's not what we're talking about this week. In 140 00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:02.959 real we're talking about I wanted to what Elon Musk 141 00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:04.920 is doing with usam. 142 00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:07.240 And well, would you like to talk about that? 143 00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:10.839 I do. First of all, the Democrats are screaming, Elizabeth Warren, 144 00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:14.399 it's a constitutional crisis. What's the buzzword of the day, 145 00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:15.040 is it? 146 00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:19.040 Here's the first problem, Elon Musk. He's not an elected 147 00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:21.360 member of the Trump team. He's a private citizen who's 148 00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:22.879 directing where the money goes. 149 00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:24.560 That's I don't put it. 150 00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:28.000 Imagine it was a democratic president and imagine he had 151 00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:29.519 a private citizen. 152 00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:30.680 I don't know whoever that meant. 153 00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:32.879 Maybe it was a celebrity of some kind telling him 154 00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:34.439 this is where I think the money should go, this 155 00:07:34.519 --> 00:07:36.879 is what agencies I think should be cut. That's the 156 00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:40.759 first problem. Okay, that's number one. He's unelected number but he's. 157 00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:45.560 Acting on behalf of Trump. Trump is telling me exactlyet 158 00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:47.600 does should. 159 00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:49.360 He be seeing this financial information? Does he have the 160 00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:51.879 security clearance? That's number one. I'm just presenting the issues. 161 00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:52.480 That's number one. 162 00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:55.000 Number two, and this is the major issue. Even if 163 00:07:55.040 --> 00:08:00.000 you're Donald Trump, he is doing things that are arguably unconstitutional. 164 00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:03.399 He is he is moving funds around and moving things 165 00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:06.079 around with agencies that is really supposed to be the 166 00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:10.560 responsibility of Congress, that they're the ones who determine our budget, 167 00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:14.000 and that he might be violating federal laws in the 168 00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:15.480 Constitution by what he's doing. 169 00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:16.319 So somebody could be. 170 00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:18.959 Like, WHOA, WHOA said anything yet he didn't move anything. 171 00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:21.360 Yet he's pulling it out, saying what they should get 172 00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:24.120 rid of, making recommendations. He can't change it. 173 00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:27.600 Well, the I Trump has on it the idea of 174 00:08:27.639 --> 00:08:30.160 either getting rid of USAID or moving it to the 175 00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:33.799 State Department. That's an independent agency, who says he has 176 00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:34.639 the right to do that. 177 00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:37.039 This is going to be immediately challenged in court. 178 00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:39.879 It's an independent he's not saying it can be done. 179 00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:41.159 This is what he's recommending. 180 00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:44.000 It doesn't have the authority, and I think it's going 181 00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:46.320 to be challenged in court and he might lose. Now, 182 00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:49.080 somebody will say This is so unfair. This is so unfair. 183 00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:52.600 In hindsight, not he doesn't have the wrong thing. In 184 00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:55.120 the hindsight, he has the right intentions. He wants to, 185 00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:57.320 like you said, try to cut expenses. There might be 186 00:08:57.360 --> 00:08:59.720 things you look at USAID, which by the way, is 187 00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:03.120 the United States Agency for International Development, and you might say, 188 00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:05.159 why are they spending money here? Why are they spending 189 00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:07.919 money here. That's a fair conversation, that's a fair thing 190 00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:10.639 to have. But the question of how he goes about 191 00:09:10.679 --> 00:09:13.679 doing it, that's the problems. By the way, it's the 192 00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:17.320 same thing that happened last week where there was the 193 00:09:17.320 --> 00:09:21.279 firing of the inspector generals. On one hand, the president 194 00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:23.200 has the right to do it. On the other hand, 195 00:09:23.399 --> 00:09:26.240 he didn't quite follow the rules on how to fire 196 00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:28.399 them in terms of they have a due process rights. 197 00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:32.000 And somebody could say, ah, due process, schmooth process. 198 00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:35.200 But he'll go back into place, go. 199 00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:37.960 Back and do it. Meanwhile, Elon Musk is making recommendation, 200 00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:42.080 he's bringing out the craziness that's going on. So is 201 00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:45.000 it or is it not a constitutional crisis? So Foley's 202 00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:47.320 doing is recommending to the president, what do you think should. 203 00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:50.559 Be if Elon Musk is doing this and directing this 204 00:09:51.039 --> 00:09:53.240 and acting on behalf of the president. It could be 205 00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:56.879 a constitutional crisis. It's the Congress under Article one of 206 00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:01.200 the Constitution that controls the money. Elon Musk, not the 207 00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:03.080 President of the United States. There's a law in place 208 00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:06.679 about you know, president just can't change where the money goes, 209 00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:09.679 where discretionary spending goes. It's part of Congress. 210 00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:13.360 We will see, you know. I think the Democrats are crazy. 211 00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:15.159 Look what they're standing up and fighting. 212 00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:17.919 So they have to pick their battles. They got to 213 00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:20.440 pick their battles, right. I think Donald Trump right now 214 00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:22.440 is trying to go down in history as the best 215 00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:24.519 president of the United States. I'm not saying he is 216 00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:26.679 or will be, but what I'm saying is by how 217 00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:28.960 he's changed, you know, trying to get rid of income tax, 218 00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:31.960 trying to move on with tariffs, try to end to 219 00:10:32.039 --> 00:10:35.960 trade war, ending the war in ending the conflict in 220 00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:37.799 the Middle East, trying to end Ukraine. 221 00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:40.039 He's trying to do everything. I get it. He's got 222 00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:40.720 well intentioned. 223 00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:43.360 How he goes about it and what he says and 224 00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:45.679 does about it, that's it's important too. 225 00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:49.519 Okay, did you see Schumi yesterday by the microphone, Win 226 00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:50.039 win Win. 227 00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:51.960 Did you see I try to ignore him? 228 00:10:51.960 --> 00:10:56.080 But now, oh he's embarrassing, and so is that Maxine 229 00:10:56.120 --> 00:11:00.639 Waters and then Elizabeth Warren. Oh my, thank god, they 230 00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:02.559 have the hands in the air because they got their 231 00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:05.519 hands caught in the pork barrel. You know, where were 232 00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:09.159 their line items? No one looked at them, No one 233 00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:12.039 looked at them, No one shared where the money was going. 234 00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:16.759 The committee, now this whole week saw the craziness and 235 00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:20.399 seeing the waste. They're looking at the nonsense. I got 236 00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:23.799 to ask a question, you're worried about constitutional crisis? Is 237 00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:28.159 Elizabeth Warren and your crew there? Where were you? You're 238 00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:32.080 the elected officials, You're the ones who should be responsible 239 00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:35.759 for all of this. And those Republicans and those Democrats 240 00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:39.279 who did take a look, why didn't you object? Was 241 00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:42.320 it out of fear of reprisal or was it worse? 242 00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:46.480 You didn't think anything was wrong. It's moronic. And what's 243 00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:50.399 even moronic these Democrats are doubling down on the country 244 00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:55.559 when the country voted against all of this nonsense. Have 245 00:11:55.679 --> 00:11:59.720 they forgotten the shellacking they took their parties and shambles 246 00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:01.840 Right now? Now, the part of me that is a 247 00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:05.480 Democrat is embarrassed to support them. They have to wake up. 248 00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:08.879 Trump is here, Musk is here. They're agents for change, 249 00:12:08.919 --> 00:12:12.480 and change is happening. I have a different question. 250 00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:14.559 Well we move that, I guess. 251 00:12:14.559 --> 00:12:17.000 Then I guess the counter argument to that would be, 252 00:12:17.720 --> 00:12:20.200 what about the seventy five million people that voted against 253 00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:22.320 Donald Trump and voted for Kamala Harris. I guess they're 254 00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:24.519 representing them. They like, we can't sit back, we can't 255 00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:25.919 stay silent, voted. 256 00:12:25.879 --> 00:12:31.759 For a transgender opera in Vietnam, or they voted millions 257 00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:35.200 of dollars in Vietnam to spend on convincing them to 258 00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:38.919 burn their garbage. This is where we're spending our money. 259 00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:41.440 How can anybody defend that? 260 00:12:42.080 --> 00:12:42.480 You can't. 261 00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:44.360 I'm just I'm just saying. This is why you see 262 00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:45.919 them jumping up and screaming. 263 00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:49.879 Yeah, okay, for what reason they're they're they're they're defending 264 00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:54.159 the ridiculous. You know, I have a problem with charity. 265 00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:57.639 I hate it. I give money, but I never understand it. 266 00:12:57.960 --> 00:13:03.080 Why do hospitals need money? Why isn't all the money 267 00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:05.480 there for hospitals to do what they can to make 268 00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:09.600 our lives simple to save lives. I never understood why 269 00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:12.240 a hospital needs money. They should have all the money 270 00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:17.840 they need. I never understood why our government doesn't support 271 00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:23.399 veterans they needed to raise money. These people who have 272 00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:26.279 stood on our behalf and forught wars and got hurt. 273 00:13:27.080 --> 00:13:32.159 I'll never understand this. It's crazy. Wounded warriors should have 274 00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:34.559 to put their hands out. They don't have enough money 275 00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:36.840 to get whatever they need to live a fair life 276 00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:43.360 after the sacrifices they made. You, politicians, that's the constitutional crisis. 277 00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:48.080 Veterans and wounded warriors don't have money, but you're sending 278 00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:51.919 money to Vietnam to tell them to burn the garbage. 279 00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:55.159 What's going on here? And then, of course there's our 280 00:13:55.240 --> 00:14:00.840 senior citizens who've lived their lives working, paying taxes, and 281 00:14:00.919 --> 00:14:04.519 they get older and in their golden years their financial trouble. 282 00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:08.600 Why not take back all those millions and millions and 283 00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:11.679 hundreds of millions of dollars in just this one organization 284 00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:15.120 and spend it on our people. Why are we spending 285 00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:18.840 it outside the United States? I don't get it. I 286 00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:21.720 understand no one voted for Elon Musk, but nobody should 287 00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:24.200 vote for you. You want to scream, we win, we 288 00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:26.720 win that this that. Why don't you just do the 289 00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:29.919 right thing. Why don't you save the money and let 290 00:14:29.960 --> 00:14:32.240 it work for you. Why don't you do the right 291 00:14:32.279 --> 00:14:36.039 thing to bring back the money to help our own people. 292 00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:41.159 Some common sense is in order. Some common sense is 293 00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:43.080 about taking care of each other. 294 00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:44.039 By the way. 295 00:14:44.120 --> 00:14:46.840 I don't know if you saw this on Dan Dan 296 00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:49.960 Abrams Dan's News Nation show. He had on a guy 297 00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:55.759 who has made money starting this X account. It's I 298 00:14:55.840 --> 00:14:59.399 think it's called the Nancy Pelosi stock tracker. I might 299 00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:02.240 be misnouncing it. But what they do is they track 300 00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:05.120 what stock she's buying, and they buy it. 301 00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:07.279 And they're getting rich. 302 00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:09.639 Off of it because they're like, how does she making 303 00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:11.559 so much money on it? So they're just following her, 304 00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:14.639 following what she does. It's actually hysterical. 305 00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:18.320 I'm sure it's not inside of trading. I mean, heaven forbid. 306 00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:20.799 There was a time. I don't know what the laura 307 00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:24.159 is if there was a time that Congress was voted 308 00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:27.919 that they couldn't trade any longer, and now I think 309 00:15:27.960 --> 00:15:30.639 it disappeared. I don't know what happened. I don't know 310 00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:33.159 enough about it. Yeah, what do I know? You know, 311 00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:36.360 I'm not really qualified to talk about this stuff. It's logic, 312 00:15:36.440 --> 00:15:39.440 it's common sense, it's business. Take care of your own. 313 00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:42.320 Take a break. We'll be back in a minute. 314 00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:44.919 Always in fashion. 315 00:15:44.919 --> 00:15:48.200 I spent a lifetime of my career building the van 316 00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:51.320 Usen brand, and I am so pleased that they're back 317 00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:56.519 with us now talking about suits. Men were dressing up again, 318 00:15:56.759 --> 00:15:59.559 and it's become cool to wear a suit. Suits can 319 00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:03.240 be one of multiplicasions in multiple ways.

You wear a suit to the office with 322 00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:11.360 or without a tie. If you look closely, now fashion trends, 323 00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:15.240 suits are being worn with turtlenecks or mack next. The 324 00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:19.840 choices are endless, and every one of them looks right. 325 00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:23.159 You could really really look the part. I believe that 326 00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:26.879 packaging yourself is as important does the products you package, 327 00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:29.039 and wearing a suit is one of those things that 328 00:16:29.200 --> 00:16:33.720 make men look their best.

Here's your host, 343 00:17:24.880 --> 00:17:25.559 Mark Webber. 344 00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:29.640 Tonight's show is Make Love Not War. My intention tonight 345 00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:32.880 was to talk about China, and I will in a moment, 346 00:17:32.920 --> 00:17:35.319 I will. So many things are going on in the government. 347 00:17:35.640 --> 00:17:38.799 President just began. He's in in three weeks. He's making 348 00:17:38.920 --> 00:17:43.960 massive changes. Pretty much everything he's doing makes incredible sense. 349 00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:46.200 And the Democrats are back at it. 350 00:17:46.599 --> 00:17:46.759 All. 351 00:17:46.799 --> 00:17:49.559 The hate is coming out, everything is being criticized. It's 352 00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:52.640 like nothing ever happened. It's like there was no election. 353 00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:55.680 There's not even a minute that they won't take a 354 00:17:55.799 --> 00:17:59.359 pranknon pause and set to themselves. Maybe what he's doing 355 00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:03.960 makes sense. Maybe now I want to talk about China 356 00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:07.640 because of the trade war where it's going. I have 357 00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:12.880 uniquely qualified position on China. I am uniquely qualified to 358 00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:16.519 talk about China. I was in China a lot of times, 359 00:18:16.559 --> 00:18:20.240 growing up in this industry. Active matter of fact, I 360 00:18:20.279 --> 00:18:22.920 was always referred to by the Chinese in Beijing as 361 00:18:22.920 --> 00:18:25.880 a friend to China. I don't think it's written anywhere. 362 00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:28.519 It was a long time ago. The concept is a 363 00:18:28.559 --> 00:18:31.279 friend in need is a friend. Indeed, I was a 364 00:18:31.279 --> 00:18:34.559 friend who helped at a difficult time to and then 365 00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:38.680 our friends in China. I helped and they helped us. 366 00:18:39.160 --> 00:18:41.119 My first trip to China was in the early eighties, 367 00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:43.720 at a time when China was reopening to the West. 368 00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:46.599 Most of you were too young to remember. Hey, I 369 00:18:46.680 --> 00:18:49.359 was too young to remember. Now let me give you 370 00:18:49.839 --> 00:18:53.119 a moment of backdrop for those of you who don't 371 00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:56.039 understand the history of China, which is thousands of years old. 372 00:18:56.079 --> 00:19:01.200 But let's go back to nineteen forty nine Chairman Mao 373 00:19:01.880 --> 00:19:06.079 Mount Saint Tung. He believed that to the west Europe, 374 00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:10.160 the West the United States were harmful to his culture. 375 00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:13.200 He believed we were ruining China and he didn't want 376 00:19:13.400 --> 00:19:16.559 anything to do with it. He embarked upon a principle. 377 00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:19.200 They called it Maoism officially Mount Saint Dung thought it 378 00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:23.200 was a variety of Marxism Leninism, and he developed it 379 00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:26.720 while trying to realize a social revolution and it was 380 00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:31.640 pre industrial society of the People's Republic of China. How he, 381 00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:34.559 Mao was considered one of the most significant figures of 382 00:19:34.599 --> 00:19:38.759 the twentieth century. His politics and his policy were responsible 383 00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:42.720 for a lot of maybe deaths since starvation and persecution, 384 00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:44.200 but he had a point of view and he had 385 00:19:44.200 --> 00:19:47.680 a vision for the country. During this time, when he 386 00:19:47.720 --> 00:19:50.759 started to try and take China to a different place, 387 00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:54.000 there was equivalent of a civil war. There was the 388 00:19:54.160 --> 00:19:57.559 General Chiang Khai Schech one of the leading politicians, was 389 00:19:57.599 --> 00:20:00.720 pushed out of China. He went to Formosa, which eventually 390 00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:04.079 became Taiwan. It started a new Chinese government called the 391 00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:09.400 Republic of China. And to this day, the history seventy 392 00:20:09.519 --> 00:20:13.799 years later is about who owns China? Does the PRIFC 393 00:20:14.319 --> 00:20:17.519 owned Taiwan? And it's a problem. But back in nineteen 394 00:20:17.640 --> 00:20:21.480 forty nine when Mao made a decision to close his 395 00:20:21.640 --> 00:20:25.920 doors to the West. And when I say closed, no contact, 396 00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:33.000 no commerce, no dialogue, no visitors. He closed China. He 397 00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:36.000 felt the Commers party felt that the West was polluting 398 00:20:36.200 --> 00:20:39.240 and they wanted nothing to do with us. As this 399 00:20:39.279 --> 00:20:45.119 went on for fifty years, there was no direct contact 400 00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:48.640 with China, between our government and their government, perhaps behind 401 00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:52.440
