I saw an article in 57 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:44,319 the Washington I'm sorry, the Wall Street Journal opinion page. 58 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,719 I don't know whether it was today. It was entitled 59 00:03:48,759 --> 00:03:54,680 when we started to become Americans, and it highlights that 60 00:03:54,759 --> 00:03:57,439 this was it was two hundred and fifty years ago 61 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:05,599 this weekend the George Washington began to meld men from 62 00:04:05,639 --> 00:04:11,280 different colonies into an American army and met the man 63 00:04:11,319 --> 00:04:16,920 who would become perhaps his most valuable officer. And it 64 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:22,439 goes on from there that this is the week that 65 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:28,839 we quote unquote started to become Americans because it was 66 00:04:28,879 --> 00:04:35,360 a foreign nation, of course, of that continental army that 67 00:04:36,199 --> 00:04:40,680 led to this country being created. And this was the 68 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:46,839 week that Washington also met Nathaniel Greene, who would manage 69 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,600 the brilliant campaign in the South that led to the 70 00:04:49,759 --> 00:04:54,680 triumph of the Revolutionary War, which some of the people 71 00:04:54,759 --> 00:04:59,160 on the beach enjoying the holiday could not identify or 72 00:04:59,199 --> 00:05:01,519 even come close to what year any of this happened. 73 00:05:03,959 --> 00:05:08,360 What are your thoughts as we now enter another weekend, 74 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,519 this one the two hundred and forty ninth, where you 75 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:16,800 have the Party of old slavery Democrats hanging on. People 76 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,120 are gonna die, millions of people will die. There was 77 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:24,560 a poll today, There was a poll recently that highlights 78 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:29,360 the difference in patriotism between Democrats and Republicans. It's astounding. 79 00:05:30,519 --> 00:05:33,399 And so what are your thoughts as we are here 80 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,920 on the two hundred and forty ninth anniversary of the 81 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,519 acknowledge signing of the Declaration of Independence? It was actually 82 00:05:42,519 --> 00:05:44,879 we signed the night before. Anyway, go ahead. 83 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,519 Speaker 7: Yeah, there's so much about this holiday, and I wish 84 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,199 everybody shared our passion, but that's our job to share 85 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,120 with people and get them gone. I've written three columns 86 00:05:56,319 --> 00:05:58,439 at The New York Sun in the past few days 87 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,639 about this, including one about Mel Gibson's The Patriots. So 88 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,720 about the movie, because it's twenty five years old this 89 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,319 year this is twenty fifth Independence. 90 00:06:07,399 --> 00:06:11,199 Speaker 5: Yeah, I saw that, you know, I didn't even I 91 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:15,040 remember when I first saw that movie, mel Gibson's The Patriot. 92 00:06:15,079 --> 00:06:17,480 I'm glad you did a com one. It actually blew 93 00:06:17,519 --> 00:06:22,920 my mind. It was it was, it was really, it 94 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,519 was just an incredible movie. 95 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,319 Speaker 7: Yeah, it's something you don't usually see. Usually we see 96 00:06:28,319 --> 00:06:30,720 the big set pieces and you see a Washington, or 97 00:06:30,759 --> 00:06:34,199 you see the drama at what became Independence Hall, but 98 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,040 you don't see the South bunch that takes place in 99 00:06:37,079 --> 00:06:41,000 South Carolina, fictionalize the courses and it's it's Originally they 100 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,600 were going to do a documentary on the Swamp Fox 101 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,079 and then the mel Gibson's characters based on and then 102 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,480 they started looking at him and they said, oh gee, 103 00:06:49,639 --> 00:06:52,199 that guy. I had some personal props that are just 104 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,160 going to detract from it. And so they made an 105 00:06:54,199 --> 00:06:58,199 idealized version. But knowing that it helps people, especially when 106 00:06:58,199 --> 00:07:00,759 you look at the pole. You mentioned Man on the Street, 107 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,720 and I always give Man and the Street people a break. 108 00:07:03,759 --> 00:07:06,759 We used to have our buddy Brian do those in 109 00:07:06,759 --> 00:07:09,079 the old days at the Rustling Bo television show, and 110 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,120 you can get people people feel like they have to 111 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,600 answer you. I always feel a little bad for those montages. 112 00:07:14,639 --> 00:07:17,800 But the polls don't lie about how little people know. 113 00:07:17,879 --> 00:07:21,160 The Cato Institute has a poll every July fourth, that 114 00:07:21,279 --> 00:07:24,879 morning Console does and fifty three percent of Americans don't 115 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:29,720 know why we declared independence at all. That's more than half, obviously, 116 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,000 although maybe we don't know math either. I'm a struggle, 117 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,560 but it going back to your theme. I had a 118 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,120 column that was before the World Street Journal, which is 119 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,079 why you should all absolutely go to MYSN dot com 120 00:07:42,079 --> 00:07:44,800 because I'm ahead of everybody. I learned something all those 121 00:07:44,879 --> 00:07:48,079 years with Rush, and I wrote a very similar column, 122 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,040 though in the same spirit, and that was when Washington 123 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,720 goes it gets the Declaration of Independence, and he puts 124 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,279 out the word in Lower Manhattan and he says, I'm 125 00:07:57,279 --> 00:07:59,360 going to read this and I'm going to tell you 126 00:07:59,439 --> 00:08:03,079 what they said in Philadelphia, and I'm going to make 127 00:08:03,319 --> 00:08:07,199 my case for why this war is necessary. And Washington, 128 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,560 who was not known as a fiery order. 129 00:08:09,399 --> 00:08:12,079 Speaker 6: It's not a guy who would move you with. 130 00:08:12,079 --> 00:08:14,519 Speaker 7: His words, yet other ways of leading. He was thinking. 131 00:08:14,519 --> 00:08:16,360 He was functional, but he wasn't a man of great 132 00:08:16,439 --> 00:08:21,000 letters and great verbosity. And so he goes he reads 133 00:08:21,079 --> 00:08:24,319 it on July ninth, seventeen seventy six at what is 134 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,399 now City Hall Park was called the Commons then, and 135 00:08:27,879 --> 00:08:30,879 these soldiers, civilians, the sons of liberty, all of these 136 00:08:30,879 --> 00:08:34,600 people listening, they get whipped into such a patriotic fervor 137 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,320 that they march over storm over to Bowling Green Park. 138 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,639 And they because they say, that's the last place there's 139 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,840 any king of the city where they tear down the 140 00:08:42,879 --> 00:08:47,120 statue of King George the Third. And I think that 141 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:48,919 that is a testament. And that's what I write about 142 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,240 here in my son column, that the decoration of Independence 143 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,159 is what Lincoln turns to rather than the Constitution, which 144 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,320 is silent on secession, and of course makes concessions to 145 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,159 this slaveholding states to get them to sign on to 146 00:09:01,279 --> 00:09:03,759 the Union. Lincoln reaches all the way back to the 147 00:09:03,799 --> 00:09:06,360 Declaration when it comes time to preserve the Union and 148 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,320 make his case, because that language is so moving, and 149 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,720 when you think about it, it starts with the world's words. 150 00:09:13,039 --> 00:09:15,720 We hold these truths to be self evident, which means, hey, 151 00:09:15,759 --> 00:09:18,039 this is pretty obvious, this is this is probably a 152 00:09:18,039 --> 00:09:21,279 boring thing. Everybody knows this, and yet it starts with that, 153 00:09:21,799 --> 00:09:24,240 and it kindles something new. And this is what connects 154 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,399 to that column you mentioned in the Wall Street Journal. 155 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,879 I said it kindled something new the American spirit. People 156 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,440 listened to Jefferson's words I've spoken by Washington, and they 157 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,799 listened to them still today, even though it was basically 158 00:09:35,919 --> 00:09:38,799 just our two weeks notice to Great Britain saying we're 159 00:09:38,919 --> 00:09:40,759 we're out of here. We think we should be our 160 00:09:40,759 --> 00:09:42,960 own country, get out and we'll fight for it. 161 00:09:43,399 --> 00:09:48,279 Speaker 5: I love it the way you just frame that our 162 00:09:48,279 --> 00:09:52,159 two weeks notice, our severance notice to Great Britain. And 163 00:09:52,159 --> 00:09:53,879 this is one of the reasons why Dean, I just 164 00:09:54,039 --> 00:09:58,080 absolutely adore what you do in terms of history dot 165 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,159 com and and this infacy that we have on history. 166 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,399 You know, I came across I'm trying to remember where 167 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:08,639 I came across a quote that is almost one hundred 168 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,600 years old from Calvin Coolidge. And by the way, the 169 00:10:11,759 --> 00:10:14,960 guy's not even you. Ask most people who Calvin Coolidge is. 170 00:10:15,759 --> 00:10:17,919 I give you, like the deer in the headlights, Look 171 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,919 who what? But and people don't even realize how what 172 00:10:23,039 --> 00:10:27,399 a prof If there was a predecessor to Reagan, in 173 00:10:27,399 --> 00:10:29,600 my view, I don't know about yours, it would be 174 00:10:29,639 --> 00:10:30,559 Calvin Coolidge. 175 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 7: Yeah, abstually, in fact, he wanted to hang his picture, 176 00:10:35,279 --> 00:10:38,000 and he hung his picture. He loved in when he 177 00:10:38,039 --> 00:10:40,519 got to the White House, Reagan, because he was a mentor. 178 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:47,919 Speaker 5: I didn't know that. Wow, Okay, anyway it was he 179 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:52,840 was in Philadelphia in nineteen twenty six. I found it 180 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,840 again it Wall Street Journal, believe it or not, Okay. 181 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,440 And one of the things that he said, as for 182 00:10:58,519 --> 00:11:02,080 the Declaration of Independence, reading from this article, we celebrate 183 00:11:02,159 --> 00:11:05,799 this weekend. In nineteen twenty six, President Calvin Coolidge came 184 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:10,240 to Philadelphia to celebrate the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary, 185 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,720 and this is what he said. It was not because 186 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:18,679 it was proposed to establish a new nation, but because 187 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:25,240 it was proposed to establish a nation on new principles. 188 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,600 That July the fourth, seventeen seventy six has come to 189 00:11:29,639 --> 00:11:33,279 be regarded as one of the greatest days in history. 190 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:39,399 And that was to me, that's just a pretty profound line. 191 00:11:39,519 --> 00:11:41,639 Whether you celebrate the day or not. 192 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 7: Six percent that pole are with you and do not celebrate. 193 00:11:48,039 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 6: Therefore, by the way I made a note of. 194 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 5: It, you made a note of it.

And it's not that I don't 197 00:12:02,399 --> 00:12:06,120 acknowledge the profundity of it, and it's not that I'm 198 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:11,399 not glad for it and happy about it. I think 199 00:12:11,399 --> 00:12:14,799 we've discussed all of this before, which. 200 00:12:14,799 --> 00:12:17,799 Speaker 7: Yeah, we've discussed pretty much everything, but we bring it 201 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:18,799 fresh for everybody here. 202 00:12:18,799 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 6: It's pressed to everybody listening, So yeah, thanks for those. 203 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,960 Speaker 5: What we're dancing around is that I don't really celebrate. 204 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,919 I don't go all out with the whole fireworks, which, 205 00:12:27,919 --> 00:12:30,120 by the way, New York Times Today has an article 206 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,120 about how horrible it's gonna be next year because of 207 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:37,200 Trump's tariffs and nobody's gonna be able to afford fireworks anymore, 208 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,279 and everybody's gonna have that Fourth of July ruin next 209 00:12:40,399 --> 00:12:44,080 year because that damn Donald Trump and it's damn tariffs. 210 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 7: So anyway, well, you don't know hamburgers and hot dogs either, 211 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:52,279 there's no what would you barbecue?

Deancarrinasistoryauthor dot Com, 246 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:46,559 New York Sun columnist is with us. Dean, you asked 247 00:14:46,559 --> 00:14:48,799 me for this bumper music. You tell me there's this 248 00:14:48,879 --> 00:14:49,840 story behind it. 249 00:14:50,399 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 7: Yeah, you take requests, which is nice. I appreciate it. 250 00:14:53,159 --> 00:14:56,399 But yes, this song was not written at all by 251 00:14:56,799 --> 00:15:02,600 the great team of Elton John and Bernie Topin to 252 00:15:02,639 --> 00:15:04,519 talk about Freedom or even though it came out in 253 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,440 nineteen seventy five, it was written about Billy Jean King 254 00:15:07,759 --> 00:15:10,759 and her professional tennis team because her and Elton John 255 00:15:10,759 --> 00:15:14,320 were friends. Only lasted one season, did did Philadelphia Freedom, 256 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:18,440 But they were a real professional tennis team. And you know, 257 00:15:18,639 --> 00:15:21,960 I imagine Sir Elton asking Bernie, hey, can you write 258 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,759 a song about tennis? And Bernie Taupin said, this is 259 00:15:25,799 --> 00:15:28,600 a quote. I can't write a song about tennis. So 260 00:15:28,639 --> 00:15:32,320 he dug instead into that Philadelphia. 261 00:15:31,679 --> 00:15:33,919 Speaker 6: Sound and he came up with. 262 00:15:33,879 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 7: A song that because it was timed with the centennial, 263 00:15:36,279 --> 00:15:40,000 people just always assumed it was about America atriotism. And 264 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,279 then people thought that maybe it was an anthem for 265 00:15:42,559 --> 00:15:46,120 other causes that Elton John was favorable too. But no, 266 00:15:46,279 --> 00:15:48,879 it's really just a level letter to Philly Jean King. 267 00:15:48,919 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 6: It's her. 268 00:15:49,559 --> 00:15:51,279 Speaker 7: But it's a great song and I enjoined it and 269 00:15:51,559 --> 00:15:54,600 Philadelphia all eyes are on them right now and for 270 00:15:54,639 --> 00:15:57,039 the next year, I guess, because that's where America was 271 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,679 born in so many ways with the Declaration of Independence. 272 00:16:00,919 --> 00:16:03,759 Speaker 5: Wow, I never knew. I always assumed that this song 273 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,879 was about Philadelphia freedom. The declaration, what took place in 274 00:16:07,919 --> 00:16:12,519 Philadelphia now two hundred and fourteen, nine years ago didn't carry. 275 00:16:12,519 --> 00:16:14,240 And it says with us, he's gonna stick around. When 276 00:16:14,279 --> 00:16:16,639 we get back, we're gonna delve into the politics of 277 00:16:16,679 --> 00:16:22,480 the beautiful Big Bill and more.

I've got minutes 304 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:03,079 and minutes and minutes of the same theme people wishing. 305 00:18:03,559 --> 00:18:07,400 In some cases, one young girl volunteers she's ready if 306 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,160 she has the opportunity. I hope the Secret Service gets 307 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:11,839 hold left. But that's what some of the left are 308 00:18:11,839 --> 00:18:12,240 wishing for. 309 00:18:13,839 --> 00:18:14,039 Speaker 3: Huh. 310 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,559 Speaker 5: James Golden started with you here, Dean carry andis is 311 00:18:16,599 --> 00:18:20,240 with us hisstoryauthor dot com. Also, you know a Dean 312 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,200 and I work together on the Rush Lombaugh program with 313 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,279 a great, great, great staff. We were part of a 314 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:34,559 great staff there, Dean. The big beautiful bill. I have 315 00:18:34,799 --> 00:18:37,359 seen so much and there was so much going on 316 00:18:37,519 --> 00:18:39,680 today with the passage of that bill, some of it 317 00:18:39,759 --> 00:18:44,440 you might expect. James Carvill, I'm not going to play. 318 00:18:44,519 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 3: We have it. 319 00:18:45,039 --> 00:18:48,119 Speaker 5: A four minute, forty one second rant from James Carville 320 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:53,359 suggesting summon head suggesting that this should be the central 321 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:58,359 issue for Democrats in twenty twenty six mid term elections. 322 00:18:58,839 --> 00:19:01,839 What do you think about that analysis from Carville? 323 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 7: Well, I have to say we all on our side, 324 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,599 which I'll call and I don't mean the Republican side. 325 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,799 I think there's too many folks out there that think 326 00:19:12,839 --> 00:19:15,359 they're just arms of the RNC now, which we certainly 327 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,839 never were with Rush. But I think we want as 328 00:19:18,839 --> 00:19:21,960 fiscal conservatives, as people who realize you can't spend more 329 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:22,559 than you earn. 330 00:19:22,599 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 6: All the time people who. 331 00:19:23,839 --> 00:19:28,440 Speaker 7: Revere people like Calvin Kolidge kept spending down when he 332 00:19:28,559 --> 00:19:30,960 was president. We don't want to see all that spending. 333 00:19:31,039 --> 00:19:33,839 But we also recognize what I quoted in one of 334 00:19:33,839 --> 00:19:36,759 my New York Sun columns a few weeks ago, otto 335 00:19:36,799 --> 00:19:40,519 of m Bismarck, when Elon Musk was freaking out over 336 00:19:40,519 --> 00:19:42,880 this bill, and he said, politics is the art of 337 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:47,079 the possible, And unfortunately, trying to get them to cut spending, 338 00:19:47,559 --> 00:19:49,160 you know they are. They kick it down the road, 339 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:50,759 kick it down the road, kick it down the road. 340 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,359 They're not going to cut the spending right now, certainly, 341 00:19:54,599 --> 00:19:57,559 probably not ever. So what we're going to have to do. 342 00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,880 The only other option is grow your way out of it. 343 00:20:00,079 --> 00:20:02,119 If you're a family. 344 00:20:01,839 --> 00:20:03,599 Speaker 6: And your your. 345 00:20:03,559 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 7: Wife and kids, or your or your husband has a 346 00:20:06,039 --> 00:20:09,559 gambling problem and they need dialysis or whatever it is, 347 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,720 what are you gonna do If you can't cut those items, 348 00:20:12,759 --> 00:20:15,119 You can't cut the spending, even if it's frivolous, even 349 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,240 if you want to, You're gonna have to grow your 350 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,960 way out of it. And I think Carbill hoping that 351 00:20:20,079 --> 00:20:22,640 it's going to crash and burn. Some might there say 352 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:27,039 he's hoping for president Trump to fail or for his policies. 353 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:28,319 Speaker 5: Can you imagine that? 354 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:35,680 Speaker 7: But think about it. In twenty seventeen, the CBO predicted 355 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,559 disaster from the Trump tax cuts. They missed what the 356 00:20:39,599 --> 00:20:42,480 revenues would be by two point three trillion with the 357 00:20:42,599 --> 00:20:45,960 T dollars. And they always miss that. They always score 358 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,160 the tax cuts in a static way. They never think. 359 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,519 Speaker 5: Instead of a dynamic way. This is an argument that 360 00:20:51,599 --> 00:20:54,720 we have been having in this country. Look, the idea 361 00:20:54,759 --> 00:20:56,359 is that this country is done. I don't want to 362 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,279 get two into weeds today. I went into weeds the 363 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,359 other day with this on this baseline budgeting nonsense. And 364 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:05,400 apparently the Senate adopted another score in the way that 365 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,319 they did their scoring, which I hope becomes permanent. But 366 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:14,359 that's in the weeds stuff. The idea that we could 367 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,200 finally grow our way out of some of these things. 368 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:21,920 And the CBO, which the Congressional Budget Office, this isn't 369 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,599 the first time they've been wrong. They've been consistently wrong 370 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:26,400 about things. 371 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 7: They always are. Think about it. If you have a business, 372 00:21:30,839 --> 00:21:33,200 I think an easy way that's not in the weeds. 373 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,079 And I understand what you mean, because we like to 374 00:21:35,079 --> 00:21:36,680 go in the weeds. Some of us like to eat 375 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,799 in graze on the weeds, and that includes greeds because 376 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,519 a lot of our spices are weeds. But anyway, is 377 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,400 you think of a business, right, think of a restaurant, 378 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,559 since we're talking about that. To continue, you slashed the 379 00:21:49,599 --> 00:21:53,519 price on your early bird specials. And you say, well, 380 00:21:53,759 --> 00:21:55,519 is that going to lose you money? No, because you 381 00:21:55,559 --> 00:21:57,559 get more people to come in. This is the idea. 382 00:21:57,759 --> 00:22:01,319 Find tax cuts, more people, you sell more volume. Less 383 00:22:01,319 --> 00:22:03,920 of your food is going to spoil. You get more customers. 384 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,079 They decide maybe I'll get drink while I'm here, because 385 00:22:07,079 --> 00:22:10,160 you brought them in with the with the cheaper happy 386 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,400 hour food. And this is how the economy as a 387 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:17,920 whole works. Where with Reagan he cut taxes. He almost 388 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,720 doubled the size of the economy in eight years, and 389 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,640 JFK had done the same thing before. We've heard many 390 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,240 times that speech that he gat to the Economic Club 391 00:22:26,279 --> 00:22:28,160 of New York when he talked when he uses that 392 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:29,400 famous metaphor. 393 00:22:29,279 --> 00:22:34,839 Speaker 5: Rising tide lifts all bolks. Yeah, yep, exactly right. Well, 394 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,039 let me just do this because time is running short. 395 00:22:37,079 --> 00:22:39,920 This is the fastest hour in American media. I want 396 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,160 to play you some audio bites and play the audio 397 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,279 of some of the reactions that people are having, and 398 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,480 have you just give a brief comment after each one. 399 00:22:46,559 --> 00:22:49,759 Let's start with one of our old favorites. She's no 400 00:22:49,839 --> 00:22:54,200 longer on PMS DNC Joy Raid the joy Read they 401 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,160 threw out of there, but she's doing her own thing 402 00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:00,400 now when she had on Representative Promila Jayapow on her 403 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,799 joy Read winith On And this is what they came 404 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,599 up with on the DHS part. 405 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,759 Speaker 9: This is really important because this Big Bad Betrayal Bill 406 00:23:10,839 --> 00:23:14,119 is not disconnected from what we're seeing with immigration on 407 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:21,559 the streets. It actually supercharges ICE's activities in terrorizing local communities, 408 00:23:21,599 --> 00:23:26,480 in kidnapping and disappearing and deporting immigrants across this country 409 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,640 right now for detention. For ICE attention, we spent about 410 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,200 three and a half billion dollars. The Big Bad Betrayal 411 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:39,079 Bill increases that number to forty five billion. Forty five 412 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,880 billion from three and a half billion, so across the board. 413 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:47,519 And then there's separate money for ICE agents for any 414 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:52,000 number of pieces of the transportation, the deportation, all of that. 415 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:57,200 So it is really essentially saying we whatever you see 416 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,759 right now, Joy multiply that by ten to twelve. That's 417 00:24:00,799 --> 00:24:05,720 what we're going to start seeing in terms of ice agents, terrorizing, disappearing, 418 00:24:05,839 --> 00:24:12,279 kidnapping immigrants, deporting them to third countries, holding them, incarceration facilities. 419 00:24:12,319 --> 00:24:16,359 These are jails now, These are not really civil detention centers, 420 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:17,559 which is what they're supposed to be. 421 00:24:18,559 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 5: I mean concentration, Dane, What do you think about all that? 422 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,680 Speaker 7: Well, I'll tell you the thing that jumps out at 423 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,640 me is trying to rebrand the Big Beautiful Bill, which 424 00:24:29,759 --> 00:24:31,880 Chuck Schuber was taking a victory lap the other day 425 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,039 because he said he struck the name and put in 426 00:24:34,079 --> 00:24:38,559 a resolution, And you're going against Donald Trump, who is 427 00:24:38,759 --> 00:24:41,319 a master of branding things, and they're going to try 428 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:45,319 to make it some evil, horrible name, Big bad Betrayal 429 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:46,880 Bill is not going to stick. It was out of 430 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,039 my brain the second she said it, and fortunately she 431 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,119 said it again so I was able to write down 432 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,000 so that I could repeat it to all of you 433 00:24:53,079 --> 00:24:56,119 find people in the audience. But this is like trying 434 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:57,440 to arm wrestle Superman. 435 00:24:57,519 --> 00:24:59,400 Speaker 6: Here. This is the guy's talent and. 436 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,920 Speaker 7: They don't recognize it. There he's also a master marketer, 437 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,200 and you're going to try to outmarket it with all 438 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:09,119 this usual doom and gloom and horror stories and also 439 00:25:09,839 --> 00:25:13,720 pitch it to people who aren't voting, and you know 440 00:25:13,799 --> 00:25:15,759 they can. They can try to also a rebrand, which 441 00:25:15,759 --> 00:25:18,480 they've been very successful with every bogat there. 442 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,640 Speaker 5: Now, let me just say something, Gane. People, there are 443 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:25,680 people that are genuinely frightened, and I can't play them well. 444 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:27,759 I've been watching these things since last night. There were 445 00:25:27,839 --> 00:25:32,599 people that are genuinely frightened because they watch the media 446 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,680 and they've been told what is going to happen for 447 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:40,119 instan cut fifteen Carlos. This is a reaction and it's 448 00:25:40,319 --> 00:25:43,200 variations of the theme are all over the place on 449 00:25:43,319 --> 00:25:44,359 social media today. 450 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 10: I'm in shock and I haven't been able to get 451 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:52,200 on here. The last few days been torturous. I've been 452 00:25:52,839 --> 00:25:58,599 doing everything, calling, emailing everything i can today my disease. 453 00:25:59,039 --> 00:26:02,599 You are going to die, lots and lots of my 454 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:08,279 friends are gonna die because of Medicaid. Once they start 455 00:26:08,279 --> 00:26:11,880 cutting medicare, I'm gonna die and I don't know what. 456 00:26:11,799 --> 00:26:14,680 Speaker 3: To do and I can't do anything. And then on 457 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:15,240 top of the. 458 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:21,319 Speaker 10: Food sexual he got off, what's the point what's the 459 00:26:21,559 --> 00:26:22,359 point anymore. 460 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 7: I'm gonna die. I'm gonna die am my Rare dies 461 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:28,079 ease community. 462 00:26:28,839 --> 00:26:30,799 Speaker 3: And I've done everything in my power. 463 00:26:31,039 --> 00:26:35,799 Speaker 10: I've wroten, I've emailed, I've done everything forever, and there's 464 00:26:35,839 --> 00:26:36,799 nothing we can do. 465 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:41,160 Speaker 5: This is insane. We're gonna die. 466 00:26:41,279 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 3: My rare disease family is going to die. 467 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:48,319 Speaker 5: I'm gonna die. List enough, we get to hint, what 468 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,880 do you think this is? This is a dean. There 469 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,680 are people who honestly believe this, and I'm not making 470 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:55,920 fun of him, and I'm not going to make fun 471 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:56,319 of them. 472 00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:02,279 Speaker 7: They believe this, Yeah, they been really scared. This makes 473 00:27:02,279 --> 00:27:05,880 me think of Poldergeist. I know only lame hosts go 474 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:07,920 to movies all the time, but it makes me think 475 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,160 of polar guys. They all believe the old Man and 476 00:27:10,319 --> 00:27:12,119 bury themselves in the ground. 477 00:27:11,839 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 6: Because they think the end times is coming. 478 00:27:13,759 --> 00:27:16,799 Speaker 7: And it turns out the day comes and goes that 479 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:18,920 he predicts for the end and it doesn't happen. And 480 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,599 so anybody can be susceptible to that. And now you 481 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:24,759 look at Threads. I go to Threads just because it's 482 00:27:24,799 --> 00:27:27,400 an amazing window. And to the way folks like this 483 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,960 lady think and as a human being, you get to 484 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,359 that higher level, as you're saying, which is your obligation. 485 00:27:33,519 --> 00:27:36,559 You're not You're not somebody's just gonna mock people. These 486 00:27:36,599 --> 00:27:39,880 are human beings who've been so badly misled. But I 487 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,119 would encourage them, she says, I've done everything in my power. Well, 488 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:47,440 people are free still to pay for other people if 489 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,640 they want to. You can ask people. You can go 490 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,359 to your neighbors. So something that rushes to say, right, 491 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,799 you can. Nobody would ever go to their neighbor and say, hey, 492 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:56,200 can you pay my medical bills? 493 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,440 Speaker 6: I'm making a collection. And yet they're happy to have. 494 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 7: The state come and do it and take it from you. 495 00:28:01,599 --> 00:28:04,440 And in any case, these things are just not going 496 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:08,319 to come to past, you know, Michael Crichton said, Come, 497 00:28:08,799 --> 00:28:11,599 Mike Crichton said, there's nothing so sobering as a thirty 498 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,440 year old newspaper. Now we've heard this doom and gloom 499 00:28:14,519 --> 00:28:18,039 constantly for our entire lives, and these things, how many 500 00:28:18,039 --> 00:28:19,799 of them really ever come to pass? 501 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:23,640 Speaker 5: First on the Medicaid Dean on the Medicaid thing number one, 502 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,680 Most of the provisions don't go into effect for over year. 503 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:31,400 They don't. That's number one. Number two, there are no 504 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:38,200 real cuts. Once again, we are all using the word 505 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:43,000 cuts when what we're talking about is a slower rate 506 00:28:43,319 --> 00:28:49,119 of growth. Next year Medicare will be spending more money 507 00:28:49,279 --> 00:28:52,799 than this year. The year after that, they will be 508 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:57,400 spending more money than the year before. What is being 509 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:02,000 talked about now is number one, getting people who should 510 00:29:02,279 --> 00:29:06,000 not be on the roads because they're ineligible for it 511 00:29:06,759 --> 00:29:10,039 under the way it was supposed to be adjudicated. Number 512 00:29:10,079 --> 00:29:14,839 two is slowing the rate of growth in these by 513 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:20,480 careful management of it. There are people I saw a doctor, 514 00:29:20,519 --> 00:29:25,839 a doctor whining and moaning about the fact that children 515 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,680 are going to be she's running for Lindsey Graham as 516 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:34,599 it turns out in South Carolina. But this absolute fear mongering, 517 00:29:35,079 --> 00:29:37,960 and people are buying it and have bought it, which, 518 00:29:38,039 --> 00:29:39,799 by the way, I think is why it would be 519 00:29:39,799 --> 00:29:42,799 a good idea if Democrats use this as their twenty 520 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:47,319 twenty six campaign, so that finally, in the face of 521 00:29:47,359 --> 00:29:52,319 what will be a profoundly growing economy, some of these 522 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:53,960 lies can be dispelled. 523 00:29:56,039 --> 00:29:59,359 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think they have to just get over this 524 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,440 idea of bashing every single thing the guy does and 525 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,240 being complete in total reactionaries. And it's fun to be 526 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,680 able to call other people reactionaries after being called that 527 00:30:07,759 --> 00:30:12,400 many times. But they have to realize it's something that 528 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,640 Doug Shoan, who obviously was key in the Clinton re 529 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,599 election campaign, said to me for one of my columns. 530 00:30:18,599 --> 00:30:22,279 He said, when the Republicans took over Congress, we found 531 00:30:22,319 --> 00:30:24,920 ways we could work with them, and they passed things 532 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,640 like Welfare Form, which had also guess what, work requirements. 533 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:32,000 Nobody was out there screaming this is going to kill people. 534 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,920 Certainly not I am going to die. As this lady said, 535 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,839 people understood, well, this is something that makes sense. If 536 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,119 you're able bodied, not only should you be working, but 537 00:30:41,279 --> 00:30:43,960 it's better for you to get up, get out there 538 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,759 and find a job. And now, by the way, there's 539 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,039 many more jobs becoming available because guess what, it goes 540 00:30:50,079 --> 00:30:53,200 hand in hand with getting all of the people that 541 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,920 these companies are hiring and that are coming here to 542 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,480 work for people and cut lawns and do all these 543 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:02,240 things that people would rather pay somebody slave wages. Never 544 00:31:02,279 --> 00:31:05,519 worry about them making an ohsher complaint, never worry about 545 00:31:05,519 --> 00:31:09,119 them filing for unemployment and paying them off the books. Well, 546 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,440 those jobs are opening up now, and so people are 547 00:31:12,519 --> 00:31:16,000 finding jobs. And that's the idea that work is something 548 00:31:16,119 --> 00:31:19,799 horrible when it's really something key is also missing here 549 00:31:19,839 --> 00:31:23,039 because they're just hair on fire twenty four to seven 550 00:31:23,119 --> 00:31:26,039 about anything and everything that Trump does. 551 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 5: Absolutely, Dean, thank you so much. I want to just 552 00:31:30,079 --> 00:31:34,279 suggest to Democrats. I rarely do investment advice, but I'm 553 00:31:34,279 --> 00:31:36,319 gonna leave you, Dean with this thought and leave this 554 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,799 thought to my Democrats out here who are listening. Perhaps 555 00:31:39,799 --> 00:31:46,160 you might want to consider investing in diapers. In diapers. 556 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:50,799 I say that because Speaker Johnson let something out of 557 00:31:50,839 --> 00:31:54,839 the bag earlier today, and diapers might be the best 558 00:31:54,839 --> 00:31:56,559 thing for Democrats at this point. 559 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:07,039 Speaker 11: Speaker Johnson reconciliation build today was a big giant leap forward. 560 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:08,279 Speaker 3: But we're going to do this again. 561 00:32:08,319 --> 00:32:10,599 Speaker 11: We're going to have a second reconciliation package in the 562 00:32:10,599 --> 00:32:13,200 fall and a third win in the spring of next year. 563 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:13,960 Speaker 3: For the next two. 564 00:32:13,799 --> 00:32:16,559 Speaker 11: Fiscal years, and we're going to have recisions packages. The 565 00:32:16,599 --> 00:32:19,160 White House is sending us collections of items to claw 566 00:32:19,279 --> 00:32:22,279 back the spending that was wasted in fraud, wasting abuse, 567 00:32:22,519 --> 00:32:24,960 and we're going to appropriate at lower levels the Republican 568 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,200 Party is the party to get us back to fiscal responsibility. 569 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,119 We can't do it overnight, though, Raymond. It took us 570 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,000 a while to get in this situation, but we are 571 00:32:32,079 --> 00:32:34,200 on the right track and the President is committed to 572 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,000 it as well. 573 00:32:36,039 --> 00:32:39,039 Speaker 5: More to come.
