On today's show, we have Coach Tuberville and Scott Bessant join us to discuss the possibility of him becoming the next Treasury Secretary. We also talk about CNN laying off hundreds of employees as their ratings continue to tank, and why this is a good thing.

00:03:56.000And increasingly, people don't need the media to be mediated through media mediated through the like a handful of TV networks that have this huge power to censor and dictate what they see.
00:04:09.000We can see that with Tucker Carlson, of course.
00:04:11.000He lost his show, stepped away, created his own thing.
00:04:22.000And that's going to be, I think, the biggest story of the 2024 election.
00:04:27.000And that's clearly what even the mainstream media is taking away from it.
00:04:31.000They're seeing it as this is the election where the alternative media stopped being alternative.
00:04:37.000That Joe Rogan, Charlie Kirk, Daily Wire, Substack.
00:04:43.000These sorts of outlets are strong enough and can reach enough people to reshape the zeitgeist to shape who actually wins a presidential election.
00:04:53.000You don't need to pander to a host who's on the evening news, who's on CNN, or even who's on Fox News in order to reach the audience you need to win a presidential election.
00:05:06.000and one of the few things they had holding in reserve was they could at least maybe limit the financial success of these a little bit because they haven't had the same access to mainstream advertising dollars and what I think will be very interesting is if we can see the shift towards you know a capitulation on this front if we see these advertising blockades and advertising boycotts go away if you start seeing Toyota or Ford or you know Budweiser,
00:05:35.000for that matter, start advertising on Joe Rogan, on the Daily Wire, on mainstream but alternative media outlets like this.
00:08:21.000And it's a I've called it, we have the potential for the golden age here, because if we unleash U.S. energy independence, energy dominance, I think we have the potential here to do a massive amount of deregulation, which really didn't get enough airplay.
00:08:45.000This administrative state is just, has been holding down U.S. business.
00:08:50.000And then I think, Charlie, what Fascinating and very hopeful for me is in Trump 1.0, everyone did well.
00:09:00.000Working people did well, the stock market did well, big companies did well, small companies did well.
00:09:06.000Under Harris-Biden, it was a bifurcated economy and only the rich and big did well.
00:09:13.000So, you know, we had this MAG7, you know, the seven big tech stocks in the stock market, and then the top 10 or 20% of Americans have never done so well.
00:09:22.000And the bottom 50%, they got killed economically and they came out and Revolted.
00:09:29.000And now I think we could see real wage gains.
00:09:33.000We could see the end of this affordability crisis.
00:09:36.000And I'm anticipating either this month or next month, just like we did in 2016 when Donald Trump won, I think we're going to see Main Street make a comeback.
00:09:46.000And I think we are going to see a big boost in small business competence.
00:09:53.000And Scott, you know, we're only about a minute in this segment here, but what does Congress need to do to make sure that this Trump economic boom materializes?
00:10:03.000Yeah, we got to come out of the blocks, big ball, first hundred days, say that we're going to get the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act either extended or made permanent.
00:10:15.000And we got to start cutting deregulations in finance, Today I want to talk to you about a very important issue.
00:10:32.000If you've recently engaged any sort of restricted diet or have taken medications to lose weight for the summer, be careful.
00:10:38.000There's a big chance that you create a nutrient deficiency that not only can harm your overall health, as it could jeopardize your weight loss goals.
00:10:46.000You know, 75% of Americans are deficient in magnesium.
00:10:49.000Magnesium is a crucial mineral that is involved in over 600 biological reactions and offers amazing benefits for sleep, stress management, and hormone balance, all key supporters for keeping your weight on healthy levels.
00:11:00.000And if you're still taking medications, you may be dealing with uncomfortable side effects like lack of sleep, digestive issues, or irritability that can also compromise your willingness to a long-term commitment to your goals.
00:11:11.000With or without medications, it is critical to set healthy habits to help you maintain your weight over time, making sure you have all the magnesium you need to optimally function is one of them.
00:11:20.000Don't let a magnesium deficiency derail your goals.

00:11:59.000So, Scott, a looming issue that I think we have to figure out, we have to, is our exploding national debt and our deficit.
00:12:08.000Unfortunately, D.C. tends not to care very much about the spending practices.
00:12:12.000What can be done and should be done and how great of a threat is this to our future economic prosperity?
00:12:17.000Look, Charlie, it's one of the reasons, you know, other than the inspiration of President Trump and my admiration for him, the other reason that I've become so involved here is that I think that this was for all the marbles.
00:12:35.0002024 was our last chance to begin implementing growth positive policies, get the spin We're going to become a European-style social democracy where basically you just live to service the debt.
00:12:53.000We're seeing that in Europe right now.
00:12:58.000Charlie, I am quite optimistic on two fronts.
00:13:02.000One, that Donald Trump, with the must cost-cutting commission, if you think about a very simple formula, G equals S minus T. So, government equals spending minus taxes.
00:13:19.000Everyone always solves the government problem by more taxes, and Donald Trump wants to change the spending problem.
00:13:28.000Because I tell you, this Biden administration, they have just spent, spent, spent.
00:13:33.000They have blown out the spending, and we better get it under control.
00:13:38.000And more importantly, Like in the UK, they call it value for money.
00:13:42.000I think the American people should not come to expect that the government's mediocre.
00:13:47.000I think the government can be at the forefront of things.
00:13:56.000And then the thing that will solve the deficit problems, debt and deficit problems more than anything else, is unshackling the US economy and changing the growth trajectory.
00:14:10.000If we can get real growth, with low real inflationary growth over 3%, that will stabilize the debt and we will begin paying it down in a few years.
00:14:29.000For a day or two afterwards, on Sunday, I had conversations with two of the greatest venture capitalist household names in America, and they are so constructive that the U.S. could enter this new golden age, you know, powered by—they basically said,
00:14:46.000Scott, if Team Trump can get the economic framework and the regulatory framework right, That the technological innovation that we are about to see accelerate through AI and other industries could lead to a new golden age in the US. And they said, look, you and Larry Kudlow are the highest that we could have 3% growth.
00:15:15.000And in some ways, Scott, that unintentionally addresses the debt issue, right?
00:15:20.000I mean, meaning if you are outpacing the rate of which you are borrowing and inflation, it calms things down a little bit, right?
00:15:28.000So if you have really high growth, not to make an excuse for inflation, but if you have a 2.5% inflation rate and a 5% growth rate, that can buy you a lot of economic leeway.
00:15:57.000Let's grow our way out of this, because I will tell you, my biggest worry last week, I had been predicting that we'd have this big Trump stock market rally, but I was worried that the long end of the bond market, which is where everything is financed from Factories to housing would blow out, and it went up a lot on Wednesday.
00:16:22.000And by the end of the week, because of the talk of cost cutting and fiscal prudence, The 10-year bond rate was lower on Friday than where it was on Monday, and it's even lower today.
00:16:40.000So that tells me the bond market is sniffing out the idea that we can have low inflationary growth and get ourselves out of this mess.
00:16:51.000Now, it's not going to be easy, but I am very optimistic after what happened on Tuesday night.
00:16:59.000Scott, I'm going to be advocating in any way I possibly can.
00:17:02.000I don't know what the plans are over at Mar-a-Lago, but I think you'd be a great Treasury Secretary.
00:17:07.000So keep up the great work and thank you for your contribution to this nation.
00:18:47.000Well, first of all, Charlie, let me thank you for having me on, and also what you did for President Trump in our country during the election.
00:18:54.000Your forums that you did on campuses, I watched most of them, were absolutely amazing, and you turned a lot of people's heads, so thank you for what you did there.
00:19:34.000We're pushing hard to get the right person in place here in the Senate that's going to lead our Senate, that's going to get us going in the right direction, that can communicate with President Trump.
00:19:45.000We have a new demographic in our conference now.
00:19:49.000If you go back and look at the election, President Trump got three-fourths of the Native American vote.
00:19:55.000He got 55% of the males, 45% of females.
00:20:00.000Almost 60% of the Asians, 45% of the Hispanics.
00:20:04.000We have so many more new people that voted for President Trump and our party that we've got to make sure that they stay on board with us, not just for a month, but for years and years to come.
00:20:17.000So we've got to have somebody in Senate leadership that understands all that, that can get us all on the same wavelength, that helped President Trump save this country.
00:20:26.000Yeah, so let's just ask the question here.
00:20:31.000Why is it that your colleagues are ignoring the mandate of the voters?
00:20:35.000Look, you've got to get along with all 53 of your friends.
00:20:38.000But why is it that there seems to be this obstinance, this reluctance to listen to the mandate that the voters just loudly sent to all of you?
00:20:51.000Well, one of the things I'll tell you is tradition, a tradition of possibly somebody that's been second in charge, that takes the job when somebody steps down.
00:21:01.000I was a football coach for a long time.
00:21:03.000When I went into a new job, I didn't keep anybody because I wanted people around me that's going to be on the same team as me.
00:22:00.000Fifty-three of us, we work together, we laugh together, we've cried together for the last four years.
00:22:05.000And it's hard to overcome sometimes friendships, but friendship can't be in play here.
00:22:10.000This has got to be the best person that can get our team together to play the best during the week against the Democrats because they're going to come on strong.
00:22:34.000You know, whoever, and I've talked to all three of them, whoever is leader this time, the next time we have a vote is not going to be secret ballot.
00:22:41.000People need to know where their senators stand.
00:22:45.000And I think it's easier probably to vote for somebody when it's a secret ballot and try to hide it.
00:22:51.000I don't think there's going to be any hiding this time, even though it is a secret ballot.
00:22:54.000I think people are going to have to come out and say, Who they voted for and why.
00:22:59.000Because the American people, again, a mandate last week was that, hey, we have got to turn our country around and we don't need any of the same rhetoric, not just from the White House, but also from Congress and the Senate.
00:25:24.000Now, we have a meeting tonight at 6 o'clock with all three.
00:25:27.000Of the candidates, along with every senator, and I would hope JD would get up and give his opinion about what we're looking for, how he thinks we need to go, because he's been a great spokesman for the Senate, even though he never wasn't a senator, but for two years, he had a great influence on all of us.
00:25:47.000So, Coach, let's talk about then recess appointments and getting this done.
00:25:52.000What can we do to make sure that President Trump does not have a repeat of his first administration where it took two to three years to get his cabinet filled?
00:27:50.000Did you guys ever have that, by the way, in practice or a game where someone had a clear shot touchdown and they dropped the ball before they went in the end zone?
00:27:57.000Did you ever see that happen as a coach?
00:27:59.000I'm sure you're familiar with the play.
00:28:02.000You're talking about intentionally dropping it and celebrating?
00:28:05.000No, they think that, yes, exactly, exactly.
00:28:08.000You know, I'd have probably got fired that night if one of my players had done that, you know, without protecting the ball so they clearly threw the end zone.

00:31:39.000You may disagree with that reality, but that's why Republicans kept running those ads over and over and over again because they saw the metrics suggested that they were working.
00:31:47.000And lying in those ads over and over again and using rhetoric like you just used, saying this is boys playing girls sports.
00:31:53.000First of all, we're talking about five people in the entire country.
00:31:56.000We're talking about trans girls playing, being allowed to play with the people who are in their gender.
00:32:02.000And if you don't believe the truth, you don't have to listen to me.
