Jack Posobiec sits down on the White House lawn to celebrate Labor Day with President Trump and the people who built this country: the people that sweat, that have great skills, and that do the dirty jobs of America that have made this country great.
00:03:16.180Today we're doing a White House special.
00:03:18.560Not just doing the show from here on the grounds of the White House, but we're going to tell you about that.
00:03:23.860We are going to be speaking to top members of the administration, including the director of ICE.
00:03:29.820So we're really going to be digging into what the administration is doing, how the administration is prosecuting the many problems facing our country and what progress is being made on a number of fronts, whether it be national security, whether it be immigration, whether it be the domestic front with economy.
00:03:46.300We have got it all here in this White House special.
00:03:50.240And you can see we're actually standing.
00:03:52.000I am physically standing on the White House lawn itself.
00:03:55.380This is the south lawn of the White House.
00:03:58.600And directly behind me, by the way, you can actually see the area.
00:04:02.460This is where the White House new ballroom is going to be.
00:04:07.340Now, I'm not sure exactly how far out it will extend, but it's this area basically roped off here.
00:04:12.680And in fact, you can see some of the work that's down on the ground of that area.
00:04:17.980That could be work already the very early stages of laying out the floor plan of President Trump's White House ballroom.
00:05:20.840Where the decisions are being made to make America great again.
00:05:25.040Now, through the course of this episode, you're going to hear a little bit of construction.
00:05:28.200You're going to hear a little bit of renovation because, as we know, President Trump is doing a lot of work to restore this White House.
00:05:34.800He is doing a lot of work to even add to this White House.
00:05:37.500So I'm being told right now that this lawn is currently being worked on because they're adding in a drainage system, something that was not done before.
00:05:46.080Also, they added a patio area to the Rose Garden, a place where it had been very muddy.
00:06:55.600A shining city as an example to the world of the best America has.
00:07:00.840And when the world comes to the capital of our great nation, they should see one of the greatest capital cities on the face of the earth.
00:07:09.540In fact, it is a reflection of our country, just like our beautiful flag, which we should protect from burning at all costs, is a reflection of the people of this nation.
00:07:20.480We'll be right back, Jack Posobiec, the Human Events White House special.
00:07:23.740Stand in our way, and our golden age has just begun.
00:07:29.300This is Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
00:07:31.080Now it's time for everyone to understand what America First truly means.
00:07:35.740Welcome to the second American revolution.
00:07:40.160All right, Jack Posobiec here, Human Events Daily.
00:07:45.300We're here on the south lawn of the White House, very honored to be, I would say, sitting down, but we're standing.
00:07:52.280So we're meeting with the Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ICE, Todd Lyons.
00:07:58.200Todd, thank you so much for being here.
00:07:59.980I really appreciate the invite and having the opportunity to speak on the great work men and women of ICE are doing.
00:08:04.920Well, look, I mean, it goes without saying that, but on behalf of the Human Events audience, the Real America's Voice Network, we just want to say thank you to the men and women of ICE.
00:08:14.860I've done some work going around to see some of the border stations with Secretary Noem since she's come in.
00:08:20.420Certainly, if there's ever anything we can do to help give you guys more coverage, this is a mission that our audience is behind 100%.
00:08:31.840I'm very proud of the fact that ICE is doing great work in the community.
00:08:35.640Despite a lot of the rhetoric you hear coming at the mission we're doing right now, but we're dedicated to our law enforcement mission.
00:08:43.500And, you know, under this administration, under Secretary Noem, under President Trump, we're allowed to do our law enforcement mission again.
00:08:49.420And that's what I want the American people to see.
00:08:51.080I want them to see what the men and women of ICE go out every day and bravely do, getting the worst of the worst out of our neighborhoods.
00:08:57.100And this is something that's so clear because the neighborhoods that you go into, we keep hearing this narrative from the media that ICE is intimidating these neighborhoods or that ICE is somehow creating problems in the community.
00:09:10.900They like to stir up stories like this Kilmar Garcia story.
00:09:14.300Yet at the same time, the people that you're getting rid of, they're the ones causing problems in those communities because they are the ones time and time again.
00:09:22.740Whenever we see these rap sheets, we see what they have been doing and we see that many times you guys already have the derogatory information.
00:09:29.040You know what these guys have been up to and you're liberating those communities.
00:09:33.000You're making those communities safer for the families, the children, the moms and dads, the older people who live there.
00:09:39.100You know, and it's not even U.S. citizens that these criminal aliens go back and prey upon.
00:09:43.500The whole narrative of sanctuary jurisdictions makes it unsafe for the migrant community as well, because there's this fear that if you call 9-1-1, if you report a crime, you're going to be deported.
00:09:54.660And when these sanctuary jurisdictions release these criminal aliens, these people that they already found to be a danger, that they've already arrested and locked up, when they don't work with ICE, we have to send more agents into the community.
00:10:08.080We would love to go to a police station, a local jail, one or two agents, and take custody of these criminal aliens and get them out of the country.
00:10:17.580But instead, sanctuary jurisdictions allow these criminal immigrants, these predators, to go back out and commit more crime.
00:10:25.960We're not going to allow these criminal aliens, these known suspected terrorists or these gang members, go out and hurt another American citizen or anyone here in the country.
00:10:33.780Well, I mean, I can speak from experience.
00:10:36.400My hometown, Narsan, Pennsylvania, became essentially a sanctuary city, started all the way back in the 2000s.
00:10:42.380And I've seen how it destroys communities.
00:10:46.940People who are in good families, they want to get out because, and, you know, who wants the kids around that?
00:10:52.980And it just, it brings an element that is criminal.
00:10:57.380And then, unfortunately, you've got people, they might be in poverty for various reasons, and now they're stuck there.
00:11:02.820Now that criminal element is preying upon those people that are in poverty.
00:11:06.640And you've just got this downward spiral.
00:11:09.100And you see this happen in sanctuary city after sanctuary city.
00:11:12.120When it comes to those situations, and let's talk about sanctuary cities, for example, that, do you find that it's more the police, do they want to help ICE, or is it the politicians that are coming in and just putting the block in?
00:11:25.420No, the local law enforcement wants to help ICE, right?
00:11:28.600But it's, you know, what's very disheartening for us is when local elected officials put fear into another law enforcement agency of discipline or termination for working with another federal agency.
00:11:39.120For us, it's hard for us to even comprehend when an elected official wants to go to bat or try to defend an MSD gang member, a child predator rapist.
00:11:50.520Why would that person want to be in the community?
00:11:52.780I don't know how that fits into anyone's political narrative because it's not a politics issue.
00:12:02.240And you certainly see the twisting of politics as it gets involved, and they try to pretend that these animals, these predators, are somehow, you know, they always have the narrative.
00:12:14.360And then you find out what they've done, and suddenly it comes out every single time.
00:12:19.460This has done, you know, horrific violence or horrific preying upon others, even the labor trafficking and others.
00:12:27.120Talk to me a little bit about that, though, and you've talked about how local politicians put fear into the local police officers.
00:12:34.960But at the same time, you're also seeing the targeting of ICE officers, and people will say, oh, well, why are they going out in the masks?
00:12:41.660And it's, I've said this on the show here, well, that's because of doxing.
00:12:44.920That's because that people have been going on social media and looking up the information using facial recognition software that's out there to be able to track these agents.
00:12:53.400How is the agent community felt in the face of all of this?
00:12:56.560You know, the best thing about ICE is we're a resilient group.
00:13:00.700There's some brave men and women, like I said earlier, that are very proud to do their job again.
00:13:04.340But unfortunately, they have to think of their families.
00:13:07.280You look to why you see ICE agents' masks.
00:13:09.140Now, if you look at the last administration or even the first two months, January, February of this administration, you didn't see ICE officers wearing masks.
00:13:15.720But instead, we've seen an uptick of violence.
00:13:17.940We're over 1,000 percent increase the last year of violence and assault on ICE agents.
00:13:23.660But take the agent out of the equation.
00:13:25.200You have some personnel say, well, that comes with being in law enforcement.
00:13:28.300Your family being threatened, your kid's Instagram being posted somewhere, or you're, you know, you have elected officials calling for no rest for ICE agents or their families.
00:13:55.380And then that we shouldn't ever involve families in this.
00:13:58.940And sure, when it comes to this type of enforcement, you would expect that from, I don't know, the narco cartels.
00:14:04.800You would expect that from, you know, if someone's a member of some terrorist cell that's operating inside the United States.
00:14:10.120But you wouldn't expect that from fellow citizens.
00:14:12.020No, and you know what's frustrating, too, is I think a lot of this, a lot of people don't educate themselves, whether an elected official or someone that doesn't agree with the ICE mission.
00:14:20.160More than 70% of the people we arrest have some type of criminal charge, whether pending or convicted.
00:14:27.660These people may have be wanted from another country or have a significant criminal history that they're fleeing from from their home country.
00:14:34.480So when ICE is being painted as we're going out and just rounding up a worker or rounding up people trying to make a better life, people just don't educate themselves on that person and what ICE is actually doing to make America safe again.
00:14:46.720Well, in many of these cases, I would like to ask, because there's there's something that I've noticed as well, that it seems as though that because some of the raids that have been done and, you know, obviously, I understand you can't get into too much operational.
00:14:59.620So I'll speak vaguely here, but it seems as though immigration fraud is something that's being cracked down on a little bit harder now.
00:15:08.000It is, you know, under President Trump, under this, you know, this administration, we've opened up the full immigration portfolio.
00:15:14.560You know, we're no longer doing law enforcement by just an executive order or kind of skewing a lot to make it fit one side, you know, one side of the aisle.
00:15:24.020What we're doing is we're focused on everything.
00:15:26.140And, you know, immigration, you know, enforcement, it might not be a criminal act or a victimless act, but you have criminal aliens that are using U.S. citizens, Social Security numbers, tax fraud, voting fraud.
00:15:40.580And that's why we're cracking down, too, on a lot of these American businesses because.
00:15:45.260These American businesses are making money off the backs and the sweat of these people, but they're also encouraging human trafficking, sex trafficking, forced labor.
00:15:53.760So we're holding those business owners accountable as well because it's not just a victimless crime.
00:15:57.700Well, it's very simple to me that in so many of these cases, you know, we understand that, look, if I were in a situation like that, I'd probably break into the United States to work illegally as well.
00:16:07.800If I was coming from one of these cases, I get that.
00:16:09.920But at the same time, if you've got someone who's exploiting that person who's in need, now you're creating that toxic, that toxic necessity, that toxic need for them to come in to say, oh, well, you've got to work for me.
00:16:23.820You might have a slave labor situation.
00:16:25.900You might have, you know, indentured servitude, the new, they call it modern slavery, these types of things, because this is what ends up happening, that you're stuck.
00:16:41.800And when you think about that, too, that kind of goes in line with the sanctuary narrative, because these business owners, you know, they frighten them, right?
00:16:48.300The narrative's out there that if they report or they try to get away, then ICE is going to deport them and they're going to be worse off.
00:16:53.440But at the same time, a lot of these people are being exploited by the cartels and these foreign terrorist organizations that are feeding this pipeline, that are supporting American businesses just to make money.
00:17:02.900And that's where we have to hold everyone accountable.
00:17:15.880But what I will tell you is we are focused on the more than 1.8 million that have final orders of deportation in the countless hundreds that are being released 24 hours a day from sanctuary jurisdictions when our detainers aren't honored and they go back to our community.
00:17:30.840And we can't think of numbers large to serve.
00:17:32.560We have to think of going out and making sure we find those immediate public safety threats so they don't hurt anyone again.
00:17:38.340Where can people go if they want to sign?
00:17:40.260If people are interested in that want to join ICE, where can they go?
00:17:45.320You can go to all our social media platforms on Facebook, Instagram, and X.
00:17:49.060We're looking for brave men and women that want to come out and have a great federal law enforcement career and be a part of a great agency.
00:19:17.640And we're on Air Force One coming back home.
00:19:20.420There are people starting to fall asleep in the cabin, but not our president Trump, who, of course, has superhuman energy and superhuman strength.
00:19:28.560So he was making calls the entire flight back to Washington, and at about 2 a.m. Eastern time, we hear from the National Security Council that we will have President Zelensky arriving to the White House to meet with President Trump on Monday at 1 a.m.
00:19:45.000So immediately we knew that we were going to have about 36 hours to put together that bilateral meeting here at the White House.
00:19:52.040But, Jack, then we were told it wasn't just President Zelensky.
00:20:11.540So we had a grand total of eight world leaders, including six heads of state or heads of government, and two additional leaders for the European Commission.
00:20:23.020So we were bringing in eight total within the space of 36 hours.
00:20:27.620And, of course, we want all of these meetings to be run properly and right because my job as chief of protocol, and I've got an extraordinary team working with me.
00:20:36.840They are just the best in the business.
00:20:38.460We want to make sure that we are creating the optimal environment for the most robust, effective diplomacy for both sides.
00:20:47.540So we make sure that the incoming world leaders have what they need in terms of access and resources and comforts of home.
00:20:55.020And then, of course, we make sure that the president of the United States has what he needs so that these events are being run properly, they're run well, they're run professionally, so that they can conduct the optimal diplomacy for the United States.
00:21:09.700Well, I mean, I have to say, I was shocked to see it.
00:21:14.160I said, I can't believe this is a government operation because I've never seen the government do something so quickly and so efficiently and do it without a hitch, just without a hitch.
00:21:23.840When it came to, in terms of the productions and the way it was done, people arrived on time, people, honestly, even in Anchorage, we left a little bit early and people were saying it was upsetting, so they're just done.
00:21:34.160I kept saying that to me, I think they're just done.
00:21:36.360Well, you know, Jack, we're in the government, but we are not the government.
00:21:39.720So President Trump is a private sector businessman, hugely successful, of course, and he's brought in so many people who've spent their entire lives and careers in the private sector.
00:21:52.180So when we found out we had 36 hours to put all of this together for the Zelensky meeting with the European leaders, we hopped to it, we didn't sleep, and we got it done.
00:22:00.900And we ended up creating an environment for a day of very productive talks.
00:22:05.220You know, there was something that you mentioned just there about, you know, and, you know, I caught wind a bit as well.
00:22:10.860I was on the plane, and I hear about this 2 a.m. business, and we're holding because he's still on the phone.
00:22:17.020He's putting the meeting together for Monday.
00:22:19.460So there was something he said in the meeting, and that struck me with what you said as well, where they were talking about the way the government works.
00:22:26.920And this is kind of what we're talking about, the speed of government versus the speed of business, the speed of the private sector.
00:22:31.360And where President Trump, I think it was Keir Starmer, it may have been one of the readouts, said, oh, let's set a date for the next round of meetings to be in a month from now.
00:23:15.540Of course, President Trump is driven by strategic imperatives for America's national interest.
00:23:20.780But what drives him even more so is the desire for peace and to stop conflicts and stop killing and the eradication of innocent life around the world.
00:23:30.620That's why he's been so successful in bringing together parties that have been at war for decades.
00:23:36.900So when he said, no, we're going to make this call to President Putin tonight and we're going to make this happen today or tomorrow or in the next day or so, not in the next month.
00:23:46.840He literally made the point, Jack, that in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, we are losing or they are losing between three and five thousand soldiers on both sides per week.
00:23:57.900And I want to and he said that is totally unacceptable.
00:24:00.180If you let it go a longer period of time, more innocent life is going to be lost and we will not stand for that.
00:24:05.720And I and I want to just say to the audience for a second here that for people who understand, they said they had all these cynical ideas about the president.
00:24:14.720Oh, he just wants money. Oh, he just wants this. He wants that.
00:24:17.180It's it's something where tell the audience when it comes down to it, when the president really is is in these private moments.
00:24:26.060I mean, like I said, the strategic imperative for America's national interests, of course, it is America first.
00:24:32.140It's putting the American people first. And he has said with regard to these conflicts in the vast majority of them, in the vast majority of them,
00:24:41.240the United States doesn't have a particular strategic dog in the fight.
00:24:45.720But he really believes in trying to make peace and leveraging the full power of the White House in the United States of America to try to bring parties together to end unnecessary conflicts, try to save innocent life.
00:24:58.880Well, and there's also when you talk about the strategic imperative, there is a strategy, though.
00:25:03.660There's been a phrase that we've used on human events.
00:25:05.620We've used it on the war room, and that's called the reverse Nixon.
00:25:09.820Who was it that came up with that again?
00:25:49.840You know, we have an incredible thing.
00:25:51.640We're always talking about the fake news and the bad, but we have guys, and these are the guys who should be getting policies.
00:25:58.120All right, folks, Jack Posovic here on the south lawn of the White House, Human Events at the White House.
00:26:04.400I want to tell you very quickly about one of our partners, and they're the reason that we're able to be here at the White House, able to do what we do and bring these stories to you every day, right in the thick of the action on Human Events, and that's My Patriot Supply.
00:26:18.660Folks, the Department of Energy just released a shocking report.
00:26:22.540Thanks to skyrocketing energy demand from electric cars and AI data centers, power outages could increase by 10,000% over the next few years.
00:26:31.520Look, if you don't have a backup generator, it's time to get one.
00:26:34.860And the one I recommend is the Grid Doctor 3300 solar generator from our friends at My Patriot Supply.
00:26:40.440Unlike gas generators, it's quiet, fume-free, and safe to use indoors, yet it's powerful enough to run almost everything in your home.
00:26:48.520We've partnered with Patriot Supply for years, and right now, My Patriot Supply has one of the best deals we've ever seen.
00:26:55.820When you go to mypatriotsupply.com slash jack and order a Grid Doctor 3300 solar generator, you get free expansion battery, which doubles the power capacity of this system.
00:27:06.700They're doubling your power for absolutely free.
00:27:09.740Just go to mypatriotsupply.com slash jack.
00:27:22.200Mr. President, all of us are charged with being good stewards of taxpayer dollars.
00:27:27.700I've gone through a reorganization for ODNI that we've announced last week.
00:27:33.600We've cut nearly half of redundant, unnecessary functions within ODNI, saving taxpayers over $700 million a year.
00:27:42.560We will continue focusing on our core mission in keeping the American people safe and appreciate your leadership and your focus on this most critical task.
00:27:52.560And you've also found many bags of information.
00:28:35.880Human events daily on this White House special.
00:28:39.260And I just had to take a minute to discuss this.
00:28:41.760So what DNI Gabbard is saying right there and, you know, we're working to follow up with the DNI's office on more information regarding what exactly was found in these burn bags regarding the 2020 election.
00:28:56.920So burn bag existence being in there is very interesting.
00:29:00.240That indicates that so here's how burn bags work.
00:29:04.000And I worked in the intelligence community and we use burn bags every day.
00:29:07.240So a burn bag meant why they call burn bags.
00:29:10.500So when you print out classified material, you then put it in a burn bag, which is a literal bag that is marked with the type of classification it's in or at least, you know, up to a certain level.
00:29:23.060And that bag is then taken by the agency and destroyed so that whatever's in there is also incinerated.
00:29:33.300And so the idea is that this happens on a routine basis.
00:29:36.660So say once a week or something like that.
00:29:39.120So when the burn bags are there, they're only there for a little bit.
00:29:43.760This means either these burn bags were taken off the floor and put in a different area so people, no one, you know, would see what was in there.
00:29:50.660Or it could have been that these burn bags were put there just as the transition from one administration to the other, the last Biden administration and now into the Trump administration were taking place so that they were not able to basically burn them, destroy this evidence prior to the new admin getting in.
00:30:12.560So, yes, does this look like they were attempting to destroy evidence?
00:30:18.880And I would hope that they're going back in and whatever these documents were, that they're going back into whatever system they're on, whether this was SIGINT or I'm guessing more than likely it was SIGINT or some kind of DocX system where they go in and pull the files, pull the file numbers and check to see if those files still exist on the electronic system as well on the digital side.
00:30:43.880Because if you're pulling things out of something that was on NSA net or something else like that, who knows what type of potential laws you have now run afoul of if you were actually getting rid of evidence on government servers.
00:30:57.420So, not to mention mishandling and all the other issues there.
00:31:01.920Look, what DNI Gabbard has been doing over at the Directorate of National Intelligence, it's nothing short of astounding.
00:31:11.000This is the very first time that we've seen someone use the power of the DNI the way that it is statutorily approved of.
00:31:19.520What does that mean? So, legally speaking, the DNI has the ability to declassify any documents from all across the intel community.
00:31:27.860The difference being that the other DNIs prior to her have deferred to the home agency.
00:31:34.560So, defer to CIA, defer to FBI, defer to NSA, whichever it was, and say, okay, well, if you don't want us to release that, we won't release that.
00:31:41.820If you don't want to release these emails, we won't release these emails.
00:34:04.020You've got to get the cases out of D.C.
00:34:06.920Also, by the way, just recently, just this week, when they tried to indict the, they went to the grand jury and they said, look, we have a video of a DOJ employee who is attacking an ICE agent and attempting to interfere with them.
00:35:04.460And that's what Tulsi Gabbard has always done.
00:35:06.500She's always played to win, whether it be in Congress, whether it be in the military or elsewhere.
00:35:12.480Look, if our intelligence system is going to be corrupted, when it gets to the dealmakers, the decision makers, the policymakers, these intelligence documents, these reports, men get sent into battle, bombs get dropped, guns get fired on the basis of this intelligence.
00:36:38.540So I need to, you have to explain something to me.
00:36:42.060I'm very confused, obviously, because the media told me that by this point in President Trump's term, that his policies would be destroying our stock market.
00:38:09.880Then when you go to the store, then something's going to happen with the price.
00:38:13.600If the price of the apple goes to $1.10, then you, the consumer, are going to have to pay the whole $0.10.
00:38:20.540If the price is $1, then the business pays the whole $0.10.
00:38:24.100And it could go somewhere in between, but it's got to be between $1 and $1.10.
00:38:27.900And what happens is that if there's an inelastically supplied thing so that people just have to sell it, then like the apple spoil if you don't sell it, then what happens is that the guy, the store, ends up bearing the tax.
00:38:41.800And so if we've had a trade deficit, say, with China forever and ever, then by definition, their supply is inelastic.
00:38:48.920And so therefore, they should be like the store example.
00:38:53.580So I used to work briefly at the China American Chamber of Commerce over there and spent a lot, two years total living and working in China, studying a little bit as well.
00:39:02.740And it's very clear that this is entirely how their economy is set up.
00:39:07.180So when you talk about the jobs and the direct correlation between work and, in many cases, make work in China as well as instability, this is exactly right.
00:39:16.540This is what the CCP leaders, even if it wasn't Xi Jinping, whichever, and perhaps will be there for the rest of our natural lives, who knows.
00:39:24.620But, you know, even prior to him, though, when it was Hsu Jintao, when it was others, the very first thing they wake up thinking of is, is my country unstable and will the loss of jobs lead to that instability?
00:39:35.460This, of course, was one of their biggest drivers in COVID because they had to reopen.
00:39:41.580And it was one of the toughest challenges that they were facing because there was a moment during COVID where the whole thing, the whole, you know, the apple cart would have been turned over, to use the, to carry the analogy forward.
00:39:53.460But so, that being said, if they're not exporting, because their entire economy is centered around exports, if those exports aren't chugging out, then that means their production down.
00:40:03.660If they're slashing production, that means those people are going to be eventually slashing jobs.
00:40:10.420The, the all the way downstream effect will be this instability.
00:40:13.680So, it actually makes sense because we know that they've been playing these, these currency games already with the renminbi, with the Chinese yuan, that they have to keep the exports up no matter what.
00:40:24.400And that's why we see that, you know, we're not seeing runaway inflation and we're raising maybe, it looks like now we're going to have $3 trillion in tariff revenue over the next 10 years from these great tariffs.
00:40:36.020I suppose you could say, in a way, you guys called their bluff.
00:40:38.980Yeah, I guess, I guess what happened is President Trump had a strong belief, a lot of people disagreed with him, and then he acted on it because elections have consequences.
00:40:49.220And now here we are, you know, on our way to the golden age.
00:40:52.060Well, and it's incredible to see, and we've, we've had members of Treasury on as well, talking about how we're seeing this blue collar job boom, how we're seeing the CapEx numbers up.
00:41:01.020So, that's when capital expenditures are going to be coming, going in.
00:41:05.340So, people reinvesting in their businesses, people reinvesting in the United States, all of this is incredible.
00:41:10.600Got to ask you, though, all of this, all of this new, you know, just in the last 12 hours, really, the, the Fed, the Fed governor putting pressure on Powell to slash rates.
00:41:20.740Because people would say, okay, when is it being cut, what is it being cut, et cetera, et cetera.
00:41:25.180Tell our viewers, right, if let's say you're someone who, you know, isn't involved in this, but you're a day-to-day person, what will lower interest rates mean for the average family?
00:41:34.140Right. Well, if interest rates are lower, then that means that it'll be cheaper to buy a house, cheaper to buy a car, cheaper to buy anything that you buy on layaway, like a new washing machine.
00:41:46.180And it'll also reduce your credit card bills and have, you know, basically just have more money in your pocket.
00:41:51.700So, the idea, and this is something, by the way, because I don't know if you've heard about this, but Gen Z, Charlie Kirk is a good friend, kind of put me onto this.
00:41:59.620And a lot of Gen Z guys are now doing this.
00:42:07.500And they're using these short-term loan options through apps to go on credit.
00:42:12.740I mean, things like DoorDash and things like Uber Eats and all of it, rent in some cases, these are going on credit.
00:42:19.140And so, you're really seeing this entire generation that's digging themselves deeper into credit.
00:42:24.540And I don't know if they're thinking about it in a way that, you know, money doesn't have to be like this.
00:42:30.680Money can be a way where you actually have productivity where the money that you're taking in will go up, not just the money that you're borrowing.
00:42:38.120Yeah, you've got to watch out and not get too extended with your debt.
00:42:41.020But I think a lot of the things you're talking about are really the revolution in sort of digital finance.
00:42:45.740And that's something that's been a real positive, especially for younger folks.
00:42:49.900Well, no, it certainly is interesting.
00:42:51.300And there are times where I wish that I could have bought some stuff that way, you know, when I was younger.
00:42:56.340But at the same time, you know, you do worry, though, that there are people that, as you say, get caught up a little bit too much.
00:43:03.040They get over their skis in debt and they push out.
00:43:05.580So what is the administration when they're looking at, you know, and you see folks like, you know, in certain areas like New York City, people turning towards Amandani, people saying that, oh, my rent is too high.
00:44:05.120Well, you know, just follow me at the White House.
00:44:07.720I'm on the White House a lot virtually every day.
00:44:09.780And the bottom line is that as we head into Labor Day, just remember that President Trump's policies led to a $6,500 raise for the typical American family last time.
00:44:20.160And we've doubled down on those policies with a big, beautiful bill that are expecting that over the next few years, there'll be another $10,000 raise for the typical American because of the policies that President Trump has pushed.
