00:00:00.000
Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas will
00:00:04.320
travel to Mexico City today to meet with Mexican President Andres Obrador to discuss
00:00:09.740
new immigration policy between the two countries. That visit comes as a surge of thousands of
00:00:15.260
migrants making their way through Mexico to the U.S. border as we speak. Joining us now
00:00:20.720
from the southern border, NBC News correspondent Morgan Chesky. Morgan, good morning. What's the
00:00:25.680
latest there? Now, Willie, good morning. And the organizers of that very migrant caravan have
00:00:31.740
said that the group has swelled rapidly with the addition of more Central American families,
00:00:36.460
so many of them with very young children. Now, the past 24 hours here in Eagle Pass
00:00:42.340
has been surprisingly quiet, but that could soon be changing.
00:00:48.640
This morning, the southern border's migrant crisis marching on. This video capturing the largest
00:00:54.560
caravan in more than a year, an estimated 8,000 men, women, and children in Chiapas, Mexico,
00:01:00.280
near Guatemala. All of them headed north. Organizers say the group swelled by nearly 2,000 people in a
00:01:08.100
single day, many hoping for a better life, many more road-weary and exhausted. The caravan moving
00:01:15.800
as the Mexican President welcomes U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken. The Mexico City meeting set
00:01:21.380
for later today, expected to focus on the unprecedented irregular migration and border security
00:01:27.040
between the neighboring countries. The visit following a recent phone call between President
00:01:32.280
Biden and Mexico's leader. The two leaders agreed that additional enforcement actions are urgently
00:01:38.600
needed. It comes as the number of migrants in cities across the country are reaching record levels,
00:01:43.220
with New York City seeing up to 4,000 people arriving each week. Local shelters and services
00:01:48.840
overwhelmed and struggling. Switching gears now, Joe Biden arrived in the Caribbean earlier today for
00:01:53.700
yet another vacation. This one to ring in the new year as crises pile up for the president and his
00:01:58.960
administration at home. To keep up. We have no more room in the city. Meanwhile, on the ground in Eagle
00:02:06.480
Pass, a surprising lull in Crossings Tuesday, following a record-breaking week where thousands of
00:02:13.280
migrants lined the banks of the Rio Grande and processing took hours, if not days. Outside a
00:02:19.300
shelter, we met Osmani, Merian, and Edison. Where are you going now? Oklahoma. Oklahoma? Los Angeles. Los Angeles? Dallas.
00:02:29.140
Merian from Venezuela says she's now waiting until her asylum hearing. After a five-month journey here,
00:02:36.280
she describes similarly to so many other migrants we've heard from. A dangerous, potentially deadly track.
00:02:43.280
That, in her mind, is worth it. Morgan, we heard there from New York City Mayor Eric Adams showing
00:02:50.040
his frustration with the federal government and its approach and the impact on New York City and how
00:02:56.180
they are going to house migrants and have had to house migrants for several months now. So as we
00:03:01.020
approach these cold winter months in places like New York and Chicago and elsewhere, how are those
00:03:06.200
cities preparing? Yeah, well, they're absolutely having to get a little creative. We know that in
00:03:12.440
the case of Chicago, the state is sponsoring hotel rooms for migrant families, while in New York City,
00:03:18.380
a tent encampment has just opened up on the outskirts in a place that was once used as a campground.
00:03:24.580
We know that in some instances here, Willie, space is so tight that migrants are now being asked to
00:03:30.040
leave shelters after 30 days and then reapply every inch of available space for housing
00:03:56.560
Mr Biden, what would you like to hear from Mexico about the border?
00:04:00.120
We're seeing the erosion of the quality of life that we've improved on in such a short period of
00:04:16.220
time of this administration. And we have been impacted. For many months, we were able to keep
00:04:24.620
the visualization of this crisis from hitting our streets. But we have reached a breaking point.
00:04:29.660
We're no longer able to do that because of the volume and numbers. Just last week, we had 3,900
00:04:35.860
people that arrived here. We are averaging anywhere from 2,500 to close to 4,000 a week. And if you do
00:04:43.920
the math, you see that's 8,000 every two weeks, potentially 16,000 a month that we must feed, clothe,
00:04:51.820
house, educate children, and all the services that you would give a normal adult. And we're seeing that
00:04:57.660
play out on our streets of New York. And that is what the breaking point looks like, what we are
00:05:03.860
This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies. Because we're going medieval on
00:05:15.760
these people. You've just not got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people. The
00:05:21.920
people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do
00:05:25.880
everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.
00:05:28.880
And where do people like that go to share the big line? MAGA Media. I wish in my soul, I wish
00:05:36.100
that any of these people had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:05:43.060
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:05:52.640
It's Thursday, 28 December, year of our Lord, 2023. How many of you went faced with a crisis,
00:06:06.500
particularly if you were faced with a crisis that involved the sovereignty of your country
00:06:11.600
and your fellow countrymen? How many of you would skip out and take a vacation in the Caribbean
00:06:17.480
where you have, because of an invasion of your nation where you planned it, initiated it,
00:06:30.320
exacerbated it, lied about it, spun it, tried to, what did the genius, what's the over and under,
00:06:38.900
by the way, Eric Adams having a three-digit IQ? What's the over and under on that?
00:06:43.140
Visualization. We didn't want the visualization. This is a guy that declared, you know, made New
00:06:49.660
York City a sanctuary city, bragged about it, and now every day just whines because Biden doesn't
00:06:55.660
want to be stuck with the problem in New York City. We wanted to hide the visualization,
00:07:02.680
the visualization, so citizens can't see what's going on right before him. So now you're going to have
00:07:08.420
the illegal alien invaders freezing in the streets of Chicago and New York because, hey, let's do the
00:07:15.900
math. I like that. You know, 4,000 one week, 8,000 the next week, 16,000 for a month. It's very good.
00:07:21.300
Maybe it is close to three digits, that IQ. Who would leave and go to the Caribbean for a vacation?
00:07:28.920
How could you enjoy yourself unless the destruction and breaking of the sovereignty of your country and
00:07:37.920
your fellow citizens was, you know, part of your plan? It's going, well, let me kick my feet up and
00:07:43.080
enjoy ourselves. He's in the Caribbean on vacation. You've got, note to self, the Israeli war with the
00:07:56.660
Muslim Brotherhood and the Persians is now in a new phase of spinning out of control. Benny Gantz said
00:08:01.720
today that they're going to, after they said, hey, Biden talked this out of its first couple of days,
00:08:06.720
they're putting warning signs up that they're going to start bombing the Persian-Lebanese-Shiite
00:08:16.020
militia in Lebanon because they're tired of taking incoming. You've got the situation,
00:08:22.860
somehow we've got a carrier up in the Red Sea, which is ridiculous. In the, in the, right
00:08:27.920
outside of the Red Sea, you know, they're taking incoming Houthi drones, the United States
00:08:35.420
Navy nonstop. So that's metastasizing over there. This is just one thing after the other,
00:08:42.140
after the other big article in the Telegraph yesterday about how she and the Saudis are now
00:08:48.300
very far down, you know, our allies, the Saudis, the ones that we've been assisting them fighting
00:08:53.940
the Houthi rebels on the, on the southern, on the Yemen part of their peninsula or the Saudi
00:08:59.060
peninsula, the Arabian peninsula, how they're cutting their long-term deal. They're, they're,
00:09:04.040
they're actually making more progress on the de-dollarization, the de-dollarization program.
00:09:10.040
So all that's going on and the guy skips out and goes on a vacation to the Caribbean. I mean,
00:09:18.260
couldn't you get some time off with the family in the White House and go to the West Wing and go
00:09:23.140
down to the, to the, uh, go down to the Kennedy room where the National Security Council is and,
00:09:30.200
you know, have some meetings and act like you're even concerned.
00:09:33.280
And as, as the, the, and now the only reason they're sending Blinken, remember this is the
00:09:40.200
team that's done such a great job in Ukraine, uh, Ukraine, which the war is over there as
00:09:45.460
everybody knows, except they got to get their $80 billion into the money laundering operation
00:09:52.120
and what they're doing. They're, they're, they're holding the border hostage. The only reason they're
00:09:56.760
prepared to have any border discussion at all is because they need the, they need the, uh, they need
00:10:01.660
the $70 billion for the money laundering operation of Zelensky in a war that's essentially over.
00:10:09.220
Except when Zelensky gets his 500,000, what's the over and under he's going to get his 500,000
00:10:13.800
new troops? Cause baby, they ain't volunteering. You're going to have to go to Ireland and drag
00:10:18.380
them back, the draft dodgers. The only reason that Biden's doing anything now, he's got Blinken in,
00:10:24.240
in the, that, that for Mayorkas and Blinken. How would you like that to show up as a
00:10:28.500
representative of the United States of America? Mayorkas and Blinken. That's the best of the best.
00:10:34.560
Mayorkas and Blinken show up to your, uh, good God, don't send them to the CCP. Don't send them
00:10:39.680
to Beijing. Don't send them to Moscow. Don't send them to Tehran with the mullahs. I mean,
00:10:43.760
they laugh at the, the, how hapless the Americans are. You send them down to Mexico, which is by the
00:10:49.240
way, uh, the president's totally in bed with the cartels. The cartels are making more money than
00:10:53.720
they've ever made off of drugs with human trafficking. So they're going to go down and
00:10:57.740
have a, have a meeting with the cartel sponsorships. I'm sure they're going to get
00:11:01.120
some very precise answers and assistance, but the invasion is so bad that, and you can't
00:11:08.540
hide it. The visualization as a mayor, Eric two digit IQ Adams would tell us, uh, the
00:11:16.120
visualization is so bad that the Biden regime now is, is concerned because the American
00:11:21.600
people have awakened to the fact that, Hey, uh, in Wichita, Kansas and, uh, in, uh, Lansing,
00:11:28.120
Michigan, and you can go anywhere in the country and see that the streets are flooded now with
00:11:32.680
the illegal alien invaders and who's supposed to pay for all this because right now the
00:11:38.660
Republicans have to say, absolutely no way you did the invasion. You figure out where you
00:11:43.400
get the money from no additional money to pay for this invasion. No way all the, all this
00:11:48.420
thing, when they talk about, Oh, Ukraine, but we're going to have a border security
00:11:51.580
part of it. All it is, is for more processing. All this is for more housing. All it is, is for
00:11:56.420
more cell phones and cash money and education and healthcare and all of it. And they say right
00:12:02.340
there, while the folks are coming. And if you and I were in the same situation, we would be
00:12:07.340
coming. So let's not demonize the individual people because Hey, if uncle sugar is going to
00:12:12.940
open the gates and Biden saying, come on in. And he knows that president Trump's going to return
00:12:17.600
and you're going to have real adults. Of course, you're going to flood the gates. This is what the
00:12:21.620
surge is about. It's not quantum mechanics. What's going on here, but you're seeing the destruction of
00:12:27.100
your country. And I hope everybody under 35 pay attention. Don't look away because the removal of
00:12:33.580
these people are, is going to engulf the nation, getting our arms around the financial situation,
00:12:39.860
which is discretionary spending on defense and on, uh, social programs is going to have to have
00:12:47.540
massive cuts. I mean, massive cuts, not that things are talking about capital 1% of this and
00:12:52.120
some, some, Oh, waste, fraud, and abuse. No, I'm talking about massive cuts, a five-year program,
00:12:57.920
a five-year program to get to balance budget. Couple that with the deportation of what is Todd
00:13:04.300
Benson tell us it's going to be 12 or 4 million to 12 to 14 million, uh, illegal alien invaders by
00:13:12.320
the time president Trump gets back in there. Okay. We got a lot going on today. We continue
00:13:18.320
to celebrate the Christmas season. Bing Crosby is going to take us out. We're going to be back.
00:13:25.320
I've got Brett. I've got Harnwell Raheem. We've rang the bell, got everybody up. Everybody's working.
00:13:30.520
It's a work day here in the war room. Hope you're enjoying your Christmas holiday. We'll be back
00:13:36.560
in a moment. This blessed babe was born and laid within a manger upon this blessed morn.
00:13:47.960
The witch, his mother Mary, did nothing take in score. Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.
00:14:02.000
Comfort and joy. Oh, tidings of comfort and joy. From God, our heavenly Father,
00:14:16.000
a blessed angel came. And unto certain shepherds brought tidings of the same. How that in Bethlehem
00:14:32.440
was born, the Son of God was born, the Son of God by name. Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.
00:14:44.720
Comfort and joy. Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.
00:14:57.760

00:15:04.540
will be a tumultuous year like no other. How will your hard-earned savings fare during this year?

Good King Wenceslas looked out on the feast of Stephen. When the snow lay round about deep and crisp and
00:16:33.080
even. Brightly shone the moon at night. Though the frost was cruel. When a poor man came
00:16:43.280
inside. Gathering winter fuel. Hither pageants stand by me. If thou know's to tell it. Welcome
00:16:57.140
back. It's Christmas week here in the world. What a crisis for our country. We're going to end this
00:17:08.980
year, historic 2023. And by the way, we're going to be doing our New Year's Eve special. And we're
00:17:14.380
also going to have our New Year's Day special, packed with a review back of the year, the historic
00:17:21.200
year we just came through. And as importantly, on New Year's Day, a look ahead of one of the
00:17:27.680
most important years in the history of your republic. Dave Bratt, how can a guy, help me
00:17:37.080
out here, how could you possibly leave, I mean, it's just a middle finger to the United States,
00:17:42.660
how can you possibly leave, go down and hang out in the Caribbean and some billionaires hang
00:17:47.200
out, where all the billionaires hang out in, in, in, you know, they all go to the Caribbean for New
00:17:52.680
Year's, Christmas and New Year's. How could you go down there and hang out when your country is
00:17:59.420
literally being invaded every day, 10, 14,000? Remember, that's that that's the ones that are
00:18:04.880
processed through. And they're not eligible for asylum. Everyone that comes up there, hey, I want a
00:18:11.260
better life. I understand that is a, a driving element of humanity. I want a better life for
00:18:18.420
them and their children. I got that. That's not a, that's has nothing to do with our asylum laws.
00:18:24.460
That's how you get in line. And you try to get into in this country through immigration. And yes,
00:18:31.020
it takes years. And most of those people are not going to be eligible and never get there. I got that.
00:18:36.600
That's how you have control of your of your border. That's how you and we don't have a border.
00:18:40.300
It's not even about border control. Oh, but Mike Johnson is going to go down. He's going to take a
00:18:44.660
congressional delegation. A CODAO is going to go down, I think, on the second and third. And we're
00:18:49.500
going to have a couple of photo ops down there and some happy talk. Here's let me just lay it out.
00:18:54.380
This is simple. So Mike Johnson, everybody can get it. Shut down the border or shut down the
00:19:00.240
government. That's the simplest thing you can get. Just defund the whole thing. You get back on the
00:19:05.620
ninth. The 19th, I think, is the first big, the first big CR. Instead of doing a CR for the year,
00:19:13.160
just shut it down until they're prepared to get serious. Get to the southern border and shut this
00:19:19.100
nonsense down. Then, you know, they're serious or not. And totally decouple it from Ukraine. Ukraine,
00:19:24.860
no, not a penny. How can you afford a penny? Ukraine got $2 trillion, $2.5 trillion trailing 12
00:19:30.820
months deficit. No even possibilities. Nobody's even talking about how you pay for this anymore.
00:19:35.680
He's just going to print money and bury the generation under 35 years old who are now paying
00:19:41.560
attention. And that's why they're supporting Trump. Brat, your assessment of all this?
00:19:48.580
Yeah, no, it's spot on. And I totally agree with it. This is the fight. This is the fight we should
00:19:53.700
take on. All political views are just my own, right? The president and his elites are off on island
00:19:58.640
hopping because they're arrogant. They think the old formulas of pulling certain levers are going to
00:20:03.660
work. I'm going to prove that's not true right now in the charts that are upcoming. But Congress
00:20:09.160
should shut down the government until we shut down the border. That is the fight that Americans want
00:20:15.060
to see. And that is the right play call. And the American people know two things right now with
00:20:21.700
certainty that have changed the game. They know the government has systematically lied to us for four
00:20:26.660
years. From COVID to masks to Russiagate for three years, backed by our top intelligence officials,
00:20:34.400
CIA, FBI, and all the lies on economics we've borne from the Federal Reserve Bank to the Treasury
00:20:40.800
secretary saying inflation is transitory. It's not. The charts below are going to show that. The people
00:20:47.900
know very well prices have never gone down. They've only gone up, up, up. The prices are still up.
00:20:54.040
That's the number one indicator of misery for the American people. And then the whopper of the year,
00:21:00.280
the lie, the lie in the Christmas season, the lie, which still has not been renounced.
00:21:05.640
Homeland Security Mayorkas declares, I want to be very clear, our borders are not open, right? I mean,
00:21:13.360
the American people are sick of getting gaslighted with yes being called no, up being called down
00:21:20.240
in the Christmas season, especially the truth matters. So that's fact number one. You're being
00:21:25.080
lied to. You know it now. And then the second new part is the American people now know the government
00:21:30.940
is in full control and they don't care about you. So you put those two together, you're being lied to
00:21:36.100
across the board. Your own government is lying to you. They've shown they don't care about you.
00:21:42.020
If you step out of line, you will pay a price. It doesn't matter whether you're a Catholic nun
00:21:46.240
or a homeschool mom. They'll be at your door knocking. If you get too far out of line,
00:21:51.800
you'll be deplatformed. You will lose your freedom. We're not living in a free country right now
00:21:56.460
when you have to walk around that scared. And so that explains the poll numbers, right? Biden's down
00:22:01.760
at 34 percent. Seventy percent of the people think he's got it wrong on inflation. Of course,
00:22:07.840
that's true. Fifty percent of people think he's got it wrong on jobs when all the headline numbers
00:22:13.040
are good. And so that's the mystery, right? How in the world are all the headline economic numbers
00:22:19.240
good? But everybody knows it's not true. And so if Denver wants to put up the first chart,
00:22:24.120
here's the evidence, right? I mean, that first chart is just devastating. This is Michigan Consumer
00:22:30.140
Sentiment Index. It's been around for a long time. It's basically, how do you feel? How's it going for
00:22:34.500
you? And you'll see the sentiment now, the feelings of the American person are worse now than they were
00:22:41.240
after the 07-08 financial crisis, right? That got down pretty far than that gray bar. Now at the far
00:22:47.960
right, consumer sentiment, your feelings, your lived experience is miserable. Next chart, Denver, just shows
00:22:56.860
the current state of affairs, right? So in 2020, Trump's trajectory and the economy had some momentum
00:23:04.140
still going up. Bidenomics kicks in, it goes down, it comes up a bit, but now it's going back down
00:23:11.000
again. And so the American people got a good sense of what's going on. And now what's really going on
00:23:17.260
here is people don't care about the headline statistics. They care about their lived experience,
00:23:22.980
their lives. So let's just, I'm not cherry picking. This is out of Axios, right? Not a right-wing
00:23:28.440
place. Here's the change in the share of Raleigh, Carolina, metro area households by income.
00:23:35.160
Take a look at that chart for a minute. Everybody look at this chart. Everybody making less than
00:23:39.380
$25,000 a year, the poor, their incomes went down. The purple arrow is going to the left,
00:23:45.200
25 to 49 down, 50 to 74 up, 1% up, 75,000 down. But the 100K or the rich folks, way down at the bottom
00:23:56.420
right. Doesn't even look like it's on the right chart. That green arrow, their incomes go up from
00:24:00.900
39 to 47%. And so, okay, you say, well, Dave, you just picked one city, an outlier. Denver,
00:24:08.640
the next chart, if you want to go to the US of A, basically the green there are the moderate to good
00:24:16.980
news. Everything else is bad news for the United States of America. So if you want to know why Biden's
00:24:22.320
at 34% and it is cratering and why the American people feel terrible, this is it. This is the
00:24:28.920
change in medium income households from 2019 to 22. Everything's going down. The rich are getting
00:24:36.880
richer. The mainstream economic press and headlines, the financial channels only pay attention to the
00:24:44.040
stock market, not to this. This is a real economy. Yeah. And the last chart, if you want to just look
00:24:49.020
at one more. Yeah. Hang on for the last chart. Hang on. Hang on for the last chart. Cause I may want
00:24:55.340
to go to break. Hey, I want to summarize this. Number one, the 34% is everybody. Remember you got
00:25:01.500
the partisan Republicans and MAGA, you got the hard little Democrats. If you look at the proxy for the
00:25:06.520
American people right now is independence. I think he's in the mid twenties. Right. I mean,
00:25:10.420
these numbers for approval are like unheard of because of the lived experience. Also, this goes
00:25:15.800
back to our basic thesis that all these top line, top line numbers and all this happy talk is because
00:25:22.260
of massive Keynesian, a massive Keynesian infusion of government fiat money. It's just, it's just
00:25:30.220
the printing presses are turned up and that's why it's not coming down into the lived experience of
00:25:34.980
people. The purchasing power, at the same time, they're destroying the purchasing power of the
00:25:39.460
federal reserve note of the dollar. And that's why people's lived experience is harder and harder
00:25:44.500
and harder. This is pretty straightforward. I tell you, we're going to play some Christmas music.
00:25:48.460
Hang on. I want to get your, we're going to get your last chart up. We're going to get drilled down
00:25:52.320
more into it, tie it together. Also, we got Ben Harnwell. We're going to talk about Ukraine.
00:25:57.080
Also the geopolitics of it. Rahim's going to join us in a little while. Ed Dowd's going to join us.
00:26:03.180
He's got some new statistics on your vaccines on the, you know, suddenly died. We're going to get
00:26:09.280
into that. He's got a new update for the year. Okay. We're going to take it. We're going to go out.
00:26:12.240
How can you do bad going out? How can you not love going out with Bing Crosby? Bing Crosby,
00:26:16.940
Hark the Herald Angels Sing, I think it is. Let's roll.
00:26:26.920
Glory to the newborn King. Peace on earth and mercy mild. God and sinners reconciled.
00:26:40.160
Joyful all ye nations rise. Join the triumph of the skies.
00:26:48.920
The angelic host proclaiming. Christ is born in Bethlehem. Hark the herald angels sing. Glory to the newborn King.
00:27:06.920
Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria.
00:27:18.640
It came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old.
00:28:17.440
Question, who protects the troops who protect us?
00:28:23.560
Imagine you're serving halfway around the world
00:28:29.960
That legal document that proves it's actually yours
00:29:07.600
Home Title Lock protects their most valuable asset
00:44:06.220
Natum videte, regem angelorum, venite adoremus.
00:44:44.080
Welcome back. This is Bing Cosby, Deste Fidelis.
00:44:50.080
I was going to do, on Christmas Day 1973, some of the greatest films in modern American cinematic history were released, it's kind of extraordinary.
00:45:10.080
I was going to do kind of an analysis of, I think, what was the most important film, Magnum Force, Clint Eastwood, the sequel to Dirty Harry.
00:45:22.080
But I think I'm going to do that tomorrow, because there's a couple of people I want to pull into the show to talk about it.
00:45:29.080
A film more relevant today than the day it was made, and it was a pretty shocking film at the time.
00:45:37.300
For those of you who don't remember it, I'll give you full details tomorrow as we break it down.
00:45:41.860
Birch gold, I think gold hit a high, 2080, it's off a couple of bucks, 2078, but the daily price is not the thing that we talk about here, it's the macro.
00:45:55.300
We're going to be talking a lot about macro over the next couple of days as we end the year,
00:45:59.100
and look back over the historic 2023, and look forward to the more historic 2024.
00:46:10.060
More turbulence today in the Middle East, I think, I've got to think, and maybe Ben can help me out here,
00:46:16.680
that any time, you know, it's an act of war going on there right now in the Holy Land.
00:46:21.220
And people should pay attention to that, of exactly what the stakes are for us as Catholics and us as Christians.
00:46:31.560
But that's why you need to understand the geopolitical and, how do I say this, financial forces in back of gold as a hedge,
00:46:42.040
of which it's been for 5,000 years of mankind's history.
00:46:46.420
Why has gold always been a hedge against turbulent times?
00:46:49.840
Go to birchgold.com slash ban, and you get the end of the dollar empire.
00:46:55.320
And baby, over the last couple of days, as Ben Harnwell can attest with the article in the Telegraph,
00:47:03.660
which is quite brilliant, about our allies, the Saudis, trying to get off the petrodollar in a deal with the Chinese,
00:47:10.100
as we've told you about for, what, two or three years here now.
00:47:12.700
It's kind of a big shock to the guys at the Telegraph, but at least they're reporting on it.
00:47:16.780
The de-dollarization march just continues on, and it is to make sure that the foundational element of the United States' power,
00:47:29.420
And this is because of one disastrous decision by our elites after the other.
00:47:35.060
That's why I say if we had the choice to be governed by the first hundred participants that walked into the Cowboy Church for the Eli Crane Town Hall,
00:47:45.500
what, a week ago, right before Christmas, I think it was on the 20th, right before Christmas,
00:47:51.440
versus the elites at Goldman Sachs or McKinsey or your bettors in the U.S. government,
00:48:05.280
Also, as people know, I'm still a little bit under the weather, but we're powering through this, as you have to.
00:48:12.580
I don't remember him ever missing work for being sick, ever.

Dave Bratt, I've got about a couple, I'll tell you what.
00:48:49.720
I want to get to the chart and get, I'm still, I'm on a roll,
00:48:52.960
and I want to end with, was it Bing Crosby's Faith of Our Fathers?
00:48:59.960
And the reason Bing Crosby, I don't think there's a better, obviously, voice, right, crooner,
00:49:09.340
But it's also about the confidence, the confidence of the post-war era.
00:49:12.980
That's when President Trump talks about making America great again.
00:49:16.680
It's to harken back to those days when we were at the top of our game,
00:49:21.880
and we had, it's just not material, it's just not the ability to be the arsenal of democracy,
00:49:27.760
it's just not the valor and courage of the greatest generation.
00:49:35.280
Why could Rosie the River, why could we turn on a dime and become the arsenal of democracy?
00:49:39.940
It's because of confidence in one's culture and one's civilization.
00:49:44.300
You can see that in the music and the films and the voices.
00:49:49.880
That is what Trump, that is what Trump represents.
00:49:54.380
We're going to turn to the warm in just a moment.
