Learn English with California Governor Gavin Newsom. In this episode, Newsom talks about the devastating fires that have ravaged California since the fires broke out in the southern part of the state on Nov. 4, and how he and other first responders are responding to the crisis.
00:03:15.420And, you know, we take it seriously to the extent that in the past, it's taken a little bit more time.
00:03:23.140I've been pretty expressive about that in the context of someone threatening our first responders in terms of supporting the immediacy of their needs.
00:03:34.780That's what you take it as, that president-elect Trump is threatening the first responders here.
00:03:39.080He said, I'm not going to support the firefighting efforts.
00:03:41.020I'm not going to support the state of California as it relates to its emergency management.
00:03:46.040He made this pretty clear during the election, unless they do my bidding.
00:03:50.340And again, these are familiar terms, and they're familiar to a lot of other states, not just my state.
00:03:55.180And they're familiar to not just me as governor, but the previous governor of California, Governor Brown, that was battling with these same things.
00:04:01.580So you just work through these things, and I'm just blessed.
00:04:06.640I have 40 million Americans that happen to live in California, that Joe Biden's president of the United States, and did what he did immediately.
00:04:13.080And to the extent that we can work with the same relationship and that same spirit with Donald Trump, I hope we can.
00:04:18.240China's cyber program is by far and away the world's largest, bigger than that of every major nation combined, and has stolen more of Americans' personal and corporate data than that of every nation, big or small, combined.
00:04:33.720But even beyond the cyber theft, there's another part of the Chinese cyber threat that I think has not gotten the attention publicly that it, I think, desperately deserves.
00:04:45.740And that is Chinese government's pre-positioning on American civilian critical infrastructure to lie in wait on those networks, to be in a position to wreak havoc and can inflict real-world harm at a time and place of their choosing.
00:05:06.020The Chinese have already insinuated malware into critical American infrastructure.
00:05:16.860We're talking about transportation systems.
00:05:19.400We're talking about targeting of our energy sector, the electric grid, natural gas pipelines.
00:05:24.480And recently, we've seen targeting of our telecommunications system.
00:05:31.040RFK Jr., then you have Kash Patel, and then Tulsi Gabbard.
00:05:35.540Who do you think is the least likely to get through?
00:05:38.220If you talk to Republicans right now, I think every single one that we've talked to wants all four to get through, believes all four will get through, unless something new is presented during those congressional hearings.
00:05:50.480So if we're just litigating the things that are the known knowns in public, I think all four get through.
00:05:56.700I know there's a lot of work being done, particularly on Hegseth by Democrats, to try to get somebody involved in the various allegations against him to testify, to go public, so that they have new information to tie it to.
00:06:10.180So far, my understanding is there's not been a lot of luck in getting that done.
00:06:14.000And so unless that happens, Republicans want to unite, want to be able to give Trump the cabinet that he wants, whether people like it or not.
00:06:22.360He won, and they believe that he has a right to have it.
00:06:25.320So, and I think you saw it with Jody Ernst.
00:06:27.320Like, listen, you've got to be one hell of a tough person with the skin of a rhino to take the crap that you have to take on social media, advertising, back in your state.
00:06:37.460If you're thinking of running again, if you worry about a primary, there's been a lot of money, there's been a lot of agitation, there's been a lot of threats about what happens if you don't support the nominees.
00:06:47.820And so there just aren't that many people that are like, hell yeah, sign me up for that.
00:06:51.240I want to be the person to tank, to tank one of these nominees.
00:06:54.700So it would take something new, I think, to do that.
00:06:59.880This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:07:04.760Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.
00:07:09.960Here's when I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
00:07:14.260The people have had a belly full of it.
00:07:47.340It's Monday, 13 January, Year of Our Lord, 2025.
00:07:55.380Days of Thunder, the preamble, starting tomorrow with the amazing, really flood the zone of the confirmations.
00:08:03.820We're going to get to all that in a moment.
00:08:05.100But I want to go, I've got Eric Prince.
00:08:07.440I've only got him for a while, but I want to start with, in California, I wanted to start with that video of just the civilian that looked like he was, I don't know, in his 70s.
00:08:19.080Said he had a garden hose and just kind of kept the water on it and everybody fled and no firemen showed up.
00:08:25.640And then you've got Gavin Newsom sitting there whining.
00:08:29.940He wants an unlimited check to, I think, paper over what has just been an absolute complete debacle.
00:08:37.060Number one, for the first couple of days, and I think the wind's about to start again, you know, where were the firemen?
00:08:42.500Not that they're not brave and want to go in.
00:08:46.200And what's the organization, what commands were they given, and the logistics.
00:08:49.900I'm shocked all week as we monitor this, just to see a couple of planes in the air.
00:08:54.620I mean, it's pretty shocking, particularly given the amount of damage.
00:09:00.960Walk me through your understanding of exactly what the plan has been out there in California to combat this.
00:09:07.580Well, Newsom is definitely deflecting from his decades of environmental and state resource mismanagement.
00:09:18.940Certainly, if he really had all the water that I think they needed, certainly those lines are cross-connected.
00:09:25.940Pacific Palisades could have drawn from something else if there was actually enough water.
00:09:29.980But the fact is, as the video clip of the lone survivor guy who saved his house, he got it done, probably pulling off of his own swimming pool supply.
00:09:41.260The state has cataclysmically failed the overtaxed taxpayers of Southern California.
00:09:50.020And, you know, the vignettes of private sector showing up and getting it done gives courage.
00:09:56.900It reminds us of what made America in the first place.
00:10:00.700But for the citizens of California, they have to be wondering what the hell have they been paying for for so long when in this absolute hour of need, the state has really dropped the ball.
00:10:12.300All the airplanes that are flying around are contracted by CAL FIRE.
00:10:16.600But those are largely private planes, private owners, private crews, in many cases flying aircraft that are 60 or more years old to provide the kind of precision drops to fight those fires.
00:10:34.580They couldn't fly in the first, I think, day, day and a half because of the excessively high winds.
00:10:39.620They were blowing 80 even to 100 miles an hour in some of those mountain passes, which they can't deliver water accurately in those kind of conditions.
00:10:51.100But it's a sad case that the private sector shows up on time and gets it done.
00:10:58.500And Caruso, the guy who ran against the idiot mayor of L.A., he actually saved his shopping mall by contracting with private firefighters to come and make sure it didn't burn.
00:11:40.340The Army's got tremendous logistics in this.
00:11:42.940And when I see just a couple of planes flying around, I think they've got 2,500 National Guard.
00:11:47.780So it's going to be kind of a lot of looting going on.
00:11:50.920Are they – is Gavin Newsom on top of this thing to actually get the right resources there?
00:11:57.280Look, throwing troops at a fire is not necessarily the answer.
00:12:01.060They don't have training in fighting wildfires or certainly in structure fires.
00:12:04.980It appears that a lot of these additional fires are actually set by arson.
00:12:11.360And there's been a number of citizens that have apprehended some very shady-looking people setting additional fires.
00:12:20.620So, again, a lack of law and order, a lack of consequence for people committing crimes.
00:12:25.960Remember, in Gavin Newsom's California, you can steal just under $1,000 and not be charged with a felony.
00:12:33.260I would say if the mayor put out a – arsons will be shot on sight, you might get a different string of behavior.
00:12:45.540But there's – it's like the left cannot ever embrace a law and order mentality or to bring order to these things.
00:12:54.600And sadly, the people of Southern California are suffering from what they voted for.
00:13:00.840Let's talk about – before I go to break, I want to talk about – he's whining already about unlimited resources.
00:13:06.920I mean, he even had Barrasso on the show yesterday saying, hey, we're not going to write unlimited checks given the – not just the politics but the incompetence and almost malfeasance and criminal negligence of some officials.
00:13:50.880You know, not cleaning out all the fuel sources out of all these hillsides has made them a big tinderbox.
00:13:56.620So, cascading bad decisions made by government officials in California are not the responsibility of the federal taxpayers of the United States government.
00:14:07.280And especially when you look at the demands that Newsom is putting out compared to the people in North Carolina, significant suffering from the flood damage.
00:14:17.060And they have been truly left wanting an inadequate response by FEMA, the Biden administration, the federal government.
00:14:26.460And sadly, politics should not play into this.
00:14:29.860But, you know, Pacific Palisades, they voted 70-some percent for Karen Bass, and they are getting that – they're getting Mayor Bass's governance right now.
00:16:30.520But, you know, Tulsi Gabbard, RFK, Russ Vogt, and Pete Hexeth.
00:16:35.360So, in other words, they want to get the more less controversial picks in there.
00:16:39.940Remember, these controversial picks are in there for a reason.
00:16:42.660Eric, I just want to make sure I give you, because it's already blowing up in the chat, a little bit on social media, that Eric Prince shoot arsonist on sight.
00:16:51.920But, I understand that's in the war room, rough Roman justice.
00:16:58.200But didn't even the Romans give them a drumhead trial first, sir?
00:17:21.000Gavin Newsom is a disaster as a governor.
00:17:24.960I think Elon Musk should lead a recall effort against Gavin Newsom.
00:17:32.000Musk will have to move back to California.
00:17:34.400But Musk should lead the recall and be the next governor of California.
00:17:38.440He can't be president because he was born in South Africa, but he can definitely fix California.
00:17:42.240And I would rather have 1% of Elon Musk's brain dedicated to fixing California than 100% of the Democratic Party of California having anything to do with the governance of the state going forward.
00:18:27.000Talk about the insurance industry is going to implode.
00:18:28.880So it's not just they're looking for a federal bailout to take care of what's going on now.
00:18:34.500They're going to need a massive bailout of the insurance industry.
00:18:38.160And Gavin Newsom yesterday spent with this Soborov guy at MSMEC, I think, five minutes going through some futuristic, you know, 5D chess city, the city of the future.
00:18:51.980He just goes on and on like he's detached from reality.
00:19:11.560We have pumps that can fix those things.
00:19:14.640But when you have multi-decade loaded up hillsides of fuel because of environmental wackiness that prevents you from thinning it, culling it, logging it, then this thing explodes on top of not having enough water in the system.
00:19:37.160On the rest of the U.S. economy, everyone pays more for insurance when there's a massive insurance loss, not just the people of Southern California.
00:19:46.340People in this audience understand in North Carolina where they're MAGA voters, they're not getting any aid.
00:19:55.160And I think it's also Northwest Georgia, right?
00:19:58.280But here, all they're doing is begging for more and more of a bailout, more and more aid when they're the first people to have – remember, this is going to be the big center of resistance.
00:20:07.580This was the big center of resistance to President Trump, the Trump movement, MAGA, and President Trump as president.
00:20:14.220You had the mayor who knew winds were coming.
00:20:17.360She went to Ghana for the inauguration of their president.
00:20:21.600You had a fire chief I think the other day, a deputy fire chief who didn't understand about how the water flowed and the Palisades Reservoir being empty, didn't understand that the 117 million gallons was not there.
00:20:35.480You've had Gavin Newsom whose performance has been there for everybody the last couple of days.
00:20:40.440Do you believe this is more an incompetence and malfeasance?
00:20:43.140Do you actually think it rises to the level of criminal negligence and one of the things that has to happen here?
00:20:48.000As President Trump steps in and looks at – and we've been a big advocate of President Trump going out there as soon as possible because they need to see what real leadership looks like, not a beta male like Gavin Newsom.
00:20:59.300Do you think this rises to the level of criminal negligence on the part of these officials?
00:21:04.860Look, when you have hiring that – when people are saying we're hiring not based on skill but based solely on diversity, and then this happens where not just 10, dozens of people are going to die.
00:21:16.820Tens of thousands of people have lost everything in terms of their house, their business, any kind of place to sleep.
00:21:26.660Yeah, it's definitely getting – it's way beyond incompetence.
00:21:29.960There definitely needs to be some prosecutions.
00:21:31.900But again, they don't prosecute criminals out there, so if it doesn't happen at the federal level, I just don't see it happening.
00:21:37.860Perhaps that's part of the strings that need to come.
00:21:40.020If there's going to be federal aid, there must be accountability.
00:21:43.940That speaks to the malpractice and stupidity we have across all aspects of our society.
00:21:49.620When you screw up, someone has to pay.
00:21:52.440Okay, let's go back to the recall of Gavin Newsom.
00:21:56.620People are talking about Mayor Bass, but I think she's irrelevant in this because she's so incompetent.
00:22:01.600But Gavin Newsom, he's already been recalled once because he got recalled, but then the time came for the vote.
00:22:07.880There wasn't what we call on Wall Street a bid away.
00:22:10.160There wasn't really a candidate that Alshonzo.
00:22:12.500He won, I think, with almost 60 percent of the vote in the following election.
00:22:37.280And he wants to see the state succeed and not be wrecked by the continued compounding stupidity of leftist environmentalists,
00:22:47.000social engineering, and other wackiness that they've been pushing.
00:22:49.660I think it would be a phenomenal fit for him.
00:22:52.460And does that – look, obviously, Musk is not going to be a career politician, but if he can fix California, that is a huge driver of the American economy.
00:22:59.400That's what I want to talk about, the aerospace industry, the defense industry, the biotech industry, the tech – and besides entertainment, the tech industry itself.
00:23:09.840Folks out there, don't think just because it's a bunch of progressives in Southern California, it's not going to impact your life.
00:23:16.060Southern California – California itself, I think, is the fifth largest economy in the world, fifth or sixth largest economy in the world if you really count apples to apples.
00:23:23.380It's a massive – it's a massive economy.
00:23:26.220Southern California is as big a driver of that economy as Silicon Valley.
00:23:31.440One more time, why is this important for the country?
00:23:34.540Obviously, Elon Musk and I have very different views on many things, but why do you think Elon Musk is the guy then?
00:23:41.700Look, we might not agree with Elon Musk a thousand percent of the time, but he is a phenomenal advocate, ally in the fight against creeping government bloat and socialism and nonsense.
00:23:56.100And California has been the leading agent of that kind of change and that malign attitude of the rest of the country.
00:24:03.740Even the crazy restrictions they put on cars, on emissions, on logging, on – even how they generate their power, it all needs to be cleaned up.
00:24:14.880California used to be an even greater state.
00:24:18.260The weather is still fantastic, but not so great when all the houses in your entire neighborhood are obliterated in a weekend.
00:24:25.180Look, my differences with Elon Musk are legion on everything from globalism to nationalism to the Chinese Communist Party to actually visas, transhumanism, all of it.
00:24:37.160But is your point – because I want to – is your point that if you recall Newsom, who has to be recalled, you're not going to be able to beat him with a conventional Republican candidate that you've got to look outside the box?
00:24:47.320Is that – the point you're making is besides being a builder and the world's richest man, he, like Caruso, is you going to have to come with somebody that doesn't come from a political background because you're not going to beat Newsom in the fight that has to take place after the recall with a conventional candidate?
00:25:06.000I think unconventional is the way to defeat the very conventional, very leftist, and very installed and entitled blob that is the Democrat Party in California.
00:25:17.320Okay, I want to go to – stay on unconventional.
00:25:20.540Tomorrow starts – and I'm so glad that the team has now done flood the zone.
00:25:25.140I think we have 13 – 13 confirmation candidates and I think 14 hearings.
00:25:32.020Pam Bondi is going to get two back-to-back.
00:25:34.240I think those are Thursday and Friday or Wednesday, Thursday.
00:25:37.480We'll get the chart up there in a second.
00:25:39.300Pete Hegseth is one of the more unconventional because you're really taking it from the warrior cast and not going to one of these either senior executives,
00:25:46.780senior member of Congress, or a former flag officer.
00:25:51.260Walk me through the pros and cons of Pete Hegseth and why you think he should be confirmed and confirmed immediately.
00:25:58.000Look, for 20-some years we've been at this so-called global war on terror, which has been done in a very half-assed management approach,
00:26:09.460And I think it's very important to have a veteran that has lived with – in the field – the bad decisions made by bureaucrat generals and bureaucrats back in Washington
00:26:20.380to say enough of that and he has to – he's going to get the military refocused on lethality and merit.
00:26:27.440We need a military that is a large, snarling, very scary organism that our enemies actually not just respect but fear.
00:26:39.780And when you have the constant pursuit of green biofuel or diversity, diversity, diversity instead of lethality and merit,
00:26:49.440you get a military that shoots its own airplanes down, that crashes ships, that doesn't put water on fires when their ships are on fire,
00:26:58.560that you have – that you get defeated in Afghanistan by 20,000 illiterate goat herders,
00:27:04.900all the techno-wizardry of the U.S. military defeated in Afghanistan.
00:27:08.760We have setback after setback, and the nonsense must stop.
00:27:13.320Or when the hour of need of actual existential crisis of state-on-state warfare threatening America,
00:27:20.380we will be found very, very wanting and extremely disappointed with the results.
00:27:26.000If we don't fix it, Hegseth is the guy to fix it.
00:27:30.520Eric, I know you've got to bounce, but I just need you a few minutes on the other side.
00:27:33.620We're also going to talk about the bond market.
00:27:35.260It's in kind of revolt about the previous spending of the United States government and our debt.
00:27:42.000This has nothing to do with President Trump's tariffs.
00:29:30.240If you talk to Republicans right now, I think every single one that we've talked to wants all four to get through, believes all four will get through, unless something new is presented during those congressional hearings.
00:29:50.140So if we're just litigating the things that are the known knowns in public, I think all four get through.
00:29:56.740I know there's a lot of work being done, particularly on Hegseth by Democrats, to try to get somebody involved in the various allegations against him to testify, to go public, so that they have new information to tie it to.
00:30:10.180So far, my understanding is there's not been a lot of luck in getting that done.
00:30:13.480And so unless that happens, Republicans want to unite, want to be able to give Trump the cabinet that he wants, whether people like it or not.
00:30:22.020He won, and they believe that he has a right to have it.
00:30:25.200And I think you saw it with Jody Ernst.
00:30:27.040Like, listen, you've got to be one hell of a tough person with the skin of a rhino to take the crap that you have to take on social media, advertising, back in your state, if you're thinking of running.
00:30:43.500They're going to try to throw up – they're desperately searching for somebody.
00:30:48.020All these anonymous accusations, they're desperately trying to get on a search somebody to step forward that's a victim or knows a victim or something.
00:31:00.180What type of thing are they going to throw at Pete Hegseth, and how do we have to power through this?
00:31:04.240Because the audience has to understand we're going to have to man the ramparts both at Article III, at our own app, Bill Blaster, et cetera, to make sure we make contact with all these senators starting this afternoon and tomorrow to push Pete Hegseth through.
00:31:21.740What types of things do you think they're going to come at him with, Eric, that we should be prepared for?
00:31:27.300It will be a litany or an adjacent to whatever they've claimed before.
00:31:32.640Look, he's not been a government contractor, so there's not going to be any weird claims of billing malfeasance.
00:31:39.660But, I mean, heck, he's been around the TV business and all the wild accusations people can make around that.
00:31:47.880So you can expect someone to make up something or to be paid to make up something or paid to remember something very differently than it happened.
00:31:56.020And he's got to be resolute and, indeed, power through that.
00:32:03.420The rest of the – how important – I mean, you know defense and intel as well as anybody.
00:32:09.620You've got Ratcliffe, but really the key one is Tulsi Gabbard.
00:32:38.160It's not advising control is the role of the Senate.
00:32:41.440And Republicans need to be on board, including Murkowski and Collins.
00:32:46.780Republicans, I mean, heck, I'm bitter about Republicans that kind of vote only when they feel like it.
00:32:55.280And I really feel like, well, one of the things to fix America is to go back to the states electing senators, the state legislatures, not direct election.
00:33:09.480Let's go for – so, folks, I'm going to get back to this in a second, in a moment after we do the bond market.
00:33:14.620We've got to focus on the Days of Thunder preamble, which is going to be this week.
00:33:21.080Thirteen cabinet nominees are going to go in the confirmation process.
00:33:25.060We're going to cover that wall-to-wall because it's going to be pretty exciting because the Democrats look to set a lot of traps for President Trump.
00:33:30.880I do want to play from President Trump's National Security Council.
00:33:35.120Mike Waltz, the congressman of Green Beret.
00:33:37.120Seb Gorka will be head of, I think, counterterrorism.
00:33:39.320Seb, obviously, contributed to the show and was with me at Breitbart for years and with us in the White House the first time.
00:33:46.020I want to play this and get your response.
00:33:50.980I will say, you know, the other thing that we're going to need to see is really stabilizing things on the battlefield.
00:33:59.220And one of the things that we'll be asking of the Ukrainians is they have real manpower issues.
00:34:06.240Their draft age right now is 26 years old, not 18.
00:34:10.860I don't think a lot of people realize that.
00:34:12.720They could generate hundreds of thousands of new soldiers.
00:34:16.020So when we hear about morale problems, when we hear about issues on the front line, look, if the Ukrainians have asked the entire world to be all in for democracy, we need them to be all in for democracy.
00:34:29.160And they certainly have fought bravely.
00:34:31.260They certainly have taken a very noble and tough stand.
00:34:34.980But we need to see those manpower shortages addressed.
00:34:37.920This isn't just about munitions, ammunition or writing more checks.
00:34:42.340It's about seeing the front lines stabilized so that we can enter into some type of deal.
00:34:48.380I'll give one tip away that the president has mentioned.
00:34:50.980He will say to that murderous former KGB colonel, that thug who runs the Russian Federation, you will negotiate now or the aid that we have given to Ukraine thus far will look like peanuts.
00:35:05.660That's how he will force those gentlemen to come to an arrangement that stops the bloodshed.
00:35:12.660So, Eric Prince, you know, Robert Kagan's got a big piece in The Atlantic of how Trump's first strategic defeat will be Ukraine.
00:35:29.340Mike Waltz is saying, and we've been, and so Mike Waltz should understand something.
00:35:32.600The audience in the war room knows about the non-18-year-old conscripts for over a year, about a year and a half, when they tried to actually do it in Ukraine, it got shot down.
00:35:45.260Seb's saying flood the zone with more weapons for Ukraine.
00:35:48.420Waltz is saying help them stabilize the battlefield with more conscripts.
00:35:52.720Does President Trump want to own this war?
00:35:54.380I thought our theory of the case was 48 hours, 72 hours, we're going to get the hell out.
00:36:00.140And really, to me, it's NATO and the Ukrainians that a little bit have to say, hey, guys, this war is over.
00:36:06.700It's time for you to get to the negotiating table.
00:36:09.140Are we going to actually – because what they're talking about by putting more weapons in and getting them conscripts is some sort of kind of semi-active role as much as the Biden administration in the Ukrainian war.
00:36:25.380Look, Zelensky is not viewed as a legitimate negotiating counterparty for the Russians because Zelensky has overstayed the mandate and canceled those last elections.
00:36:42.640And I think I agree with Waltz on that point that if they're going to do this and they're going to be demanding all this support from partner nations, they at least have to have the same service age as the rest of those countries.
00:36:56.340And I would imagine Seb is saying that because they're trying to negotiate from some kind of position of strength because the fact is the Russians are winning.
00:37:05.300They have been winning for many months now.
00:39:08.480He has said from the beginning this war should have never started.
00:39:10.940And if President Trump, if the election in 2020 had not been stolen and he didn't have an illegitimate Biden regime in there, this war would have never never taken place under President Trump's watch.
00:40:07.540E.J. all kind of as the and we've told the audience, we've trained the audience and say,
00:40:11.980hey, the 10 year bond is what the price of the 10 year bond is kind of what drives your life, your car loan, your credit card, your mortgage, any personal loan you would take out.
00:40:22.900And so people very much are focused on in the worm.
00:40:26.100They focus on the price of gold and the 10 year bond.
00:40:30.160The 10 year bond is getting up to five.
00:40:32.740You're seeing a kind of you're seeing a total kind of rejection.
00:40:37.500It hasn't become a route yet, but rejection by the global bond market on the Biden regime's policies, particularly the deficits in the spending.
00:40:46.220But it's it's it's going to narrow President Trump's field of alternatives, sir.
00:40:54.240And on top of that, you know, another added complication here is the fact that the I can't for the life of me understand why a Republican controlled house at the time did this.
00:41:04.840But between the Republican controlled house and the Democrat White House, they have left President Trump, the incoming administration, also with a debt ceiling as well.
00:41:15.500And look, it's it's not that we hate the debt ceiling.
00:41:17.840We like any kind of measure that's going to keep down government spending.
00:41:22.020But the problem is the debt ceiling, as we have it today, is completely divorced from spending.
00:41:27.280So Congress gets to vote in all of the spending they want.
00:41:30.340And then they always have some kind of crisis where they say, oh, no, we need to raise the debt ceiling, whereas before it used to be before World War One, you had to vote to increase the debt ceiling at the same time you voted for the increase in spending.
00:41:41.240But whatever the case, Treasury markets are getting into a whole lot of turmoil.
00:41:46.320And this is something that that we've actually predicted on this show for well over a year now, that this was the direction we are heading.
00:41:53.720And we are basically getting to a point where markets no longer believe the Fed.
00:41:57.820They no longer believe the talking points from Janet Yellen, that, you know, the Treasury market continues to be deep and liquid, easily tradable.
00:42:08.740There is too much government debt out there and the private market can't sustain it all, certainly not when they have alternatives.
00:42:15.860And the problem is that the only way the Treasury can continue to attract more capital, in other words, continue to get bondholders, investors to give the Treasury more money, to lend them more money, is if the Treasury gives higher and higher yields on their bonds.
00:42:33.520And the result of all this is making the debt even more expensive to finance.
00:42:38.580We're looking at $1.2 trillion in interest on the debt this year.
00:42:42.880And that's before we get even higher yields.
00:42:49.500I want to hold you through the next break.
00:42:51.620With that 10-year, what he's talking about in this kind of crowd is that not only did the government Treasuries have to go up higher and increase the interest payment we have to,
00:42:59.600and that takes away from other opportunities President Trump wants to have, but it also drives the cost of your life higher.
00:43:08.120This is what we're saying about the inflation kind of being embedded in the refinancing of the $36 trillion.
00:43:13.500This is the first time I think the American people have a great awakening that, hey, these deficits of debt actually have an impact on me.
00:43:21.320It's going to be a lot more in the future.
00:45:18.040Remember, Glenn Starr and the team are building the Patriot economy, as so many of our sponsors are on the show,

00:46:07.260E.J. and Tony, for the audience, because, look, audience, let's go back.
00:46:13.040The three lines of work that President Trump has to deal with right away is the kinetic part of the Third World War, principally Ukraine in the Middle East.
00:46:19.460I think Ukraine maybe at the top of the heap there.
00:46:23.400You've got the deportations and the deportation have to take place and everything related to the immigration, all that.
00:46:29.720That's why we're not just the executive orders on the days of thunder that start next, officially start next Monday with the executive orders and other things that, you know, Tom Homan and Stephen Miller are going to do.
00:46:40.840Also, maybe some legislation coming up if you do two bills instead of one, which I think will be the reality.
00:46:45.660But as I say, the existential part's the debt and the deficit.
00:46:49.700And you have come on, and Scott and Peter used to do it before they actually went to the administration and talked about how Janet Yellen's been playing games.
00:46:57.820She's been financing this stuff short term.
00:47:00.300Just so the American people understand it, it is, this is not free.
00:47:04.420When people talk about deficits and debt, it's not free anymore.
00:47:06.820You ascension, I think the math's roughly every household has like a $240,000 second mortgage already on it that's adding to, you know, adding to the inflation the whole time.
00:47:42.520And, you know, look, sometimes some of these numbers, you know, when we're dealing with trillions, everyone's eyes kind of glaze over.
00:47:48.640It's difficult to really get your head around it.
00:47:50.200Even when we talk about things like a second mortgage of $200,000, $300,000, sometimes it's hard to get our head around it.
00:47:56.580So I want everyone in the war room posse to do the following exercise.
00:48:00.560Get your most recent pay stub and see how much you paid in personal federal income taxes.
00:48:07.680And realize that half of that, half, 50 percent of what you pay in personal income taxes to the federal government is used just to service the debt.
00:48:17.720Not pay down the debt, just the interest on the debt.
00:48:21.620That's how bad the situation is today.
00:48:25.080Not only because we're continuing to spend too much money and grow that debt, so we're continuing to need more money to finance it, but also interest rates now are rising because of exactly what you just mentioned.
00:48:39.000And so much of what the Biden administration, particularly Janet Yellen, have done over the last couple of years have all been short-term fixes, essentially things that conveniently were there to get them past the election.
00:48:52.300And now that that's done, all of those short-term measures need to be unwound.
00:48:57.720Think of it in a personal context here.
00:49:01.140Imagine you rack up a ton of credit card debt, and it's all on those introductory APR credit cards.
00:49:08.380In other words, you get 0 percent or only 1 or 2 percent interest rates for the first 12 months.
00:49:14.280And so you go on a spending spree for your household, and you get all kinds of nice stuff.
00:49:26.240Now the higher interest rates are kicking in as the introductory APRs are over.
00:49:30.560So now what do you need to do to get out of that mess?
00:49:33.160Well, probably some kind of debt consolidation service.
00:49:35.380And, yes, you're going to have to pay a higher interest rate than the 0 or 1 or 2 percent, but it's certainly better than if you let those credit cards go up to 30 percent, which they will eventually.
00:49:45.860So that's basically what Trump and Scott Bessent, what J.D. Vance, what their whole team have to deal with now at the Treasury.
00:49:52.940They need to essentially roll over this debt and reconsolidate it at the lowest interest rates they possibly can.
00:50:00.280And, again, going back to what we talked about earlier with the debt ceiling, that makes that very difficult because there's now even less flexibility that the Treasury has.
00:50:09.380Again, that's not saying that we want no debt ceiling at all, right?
00:50:12.440We do want limits on government spending.
00:50:15.240The problem is that this is just happening at the worst possible time for these folks.
00:54:02.960Really trying to fill this gap of quality supplements.
00:54:06.000And of course, the beef liver being our flagship product.
00:54:09.080For those who don't know, beef liver is loaded with highly bioavailable ingredients such as vitamin A, B12, zinc, CoQ10, etc.
00:54:17.940And because it is 100% grass-fed and natural, your body is able to absorb these nutrients far better than taking any other synthetic multivitamin.
00:54:27.760Or any other synthetic vitamin in general.
00:54:31.140So, we have some other amazing products.
