00:00:03.000 I've never had a fun party ride that says someday I'm going to free you, Janey.
00:00:15.000 I ran away and I am not going back.
00:00:31.000 And I am not going back.
00:00:33.000 You should, you should.
00:00:36.000 I ran away.
00:00:38.000 And I am not going back.
00:00:41.000 Let's make some magic!
00:00:51.000 Who's this girl?
00:01:20.000 I've never fun.
00:01:22.000 I've been that says someday a boon.
00:01:25.000 There's no time in my life without you.
00:01:28.000 I've never fun.
00:01:31.000 Sorry.
00:03:17.000 There's nothing on tortoise.
00:03:17.000 Welcome to the.
00:03:18.000 I use this hand sanitizer to use my iPad, and then there was a film.
00:03:23.000 Welcome to the lineup live.
00:03:26.000 Wait, is Noodles not here today?
00:03:27.000 He'll be in.
00:03:28.000 Oh, I'm not the only one who was late.
00:03:31.000 This is what happens when President Trump goes to China.
00:03:31.000 True.
00:03:33.000 He's running on Chinese time, I guess.
00:03:35.000 We're going to talk about a lot today.
00:03:36.000 I don't know if you know this, Mamdani said he balanced the budget.
00:03:38.000 No.
00:03:39.000 We talked about this yesterday with Nick Fuentes, and it was news to, I guess, a lot of you as well.
00:03:45.000 H1Bs.
00:03:45.000 President Trump, what has been done with H1Bs?
00:03:47.000 The reduction.
00:03:49.000 It's the single biggest monumental shift that we have seen in this policy, really ever, since it's existed.
00:03:55.000 It's not perfect yet, but some huge wins.
00:03:57.000 So we want to talk about that and highlight it because hopefully we have fewer Hajis coming over.
00:04:01.000 Also, the decline in marriage rates.
00:04:02.000 Well, we have an explanation for that.
00:04:05.000 Multiple, actually.
00:04:07.000 We're going to put up a graph for you so you can see all the confounding factors and how that has resulted in the destruction of the American nuclear family.
00:04:14.000 And of course, President Trump is in China.
00:04:16.000 I hate speculating, but everyone does that.
00:04:20.000 When we're dealing with the Chinese, and we have four things that you can expect there'll be some good Trump, not so great Trump, and bad Trump.
00:04:28.000 Let me ask you what do you think is best Trump, and what do you think is worst Trump?
00:04:33.000 And would you marry worse Trump?
00:04:35.000 On with the show.

00:07:30.000 Is it?
00:07:31.000 Yeah.
00:07:32.000 I'm working on some new techniques.
00:07:34.000 All of them equally off putting.
00:07:36.000 I would die.
00:07:37.000 Speaking of which, hi, Jelt.
00:07:37.000 How are you?
00:07:38.000 I'm good.
00:07:38.000 How are you?
00:07:39.000 I'm good.
00:07:40.000 Are you?
00:07:41.000 Don't do it yet.
00:07:42.000 You can't.
00:07:43.000 I didn't say.
00:07:43.000 No, I know.
00:07:44.000 See, he missed the transition.
00:07:45.000 I know.
00:07:46.000 Off putting.
00:07:49.000 And Thursday, May 22nd at Hyenas Comedy Club in Dallas, Texas.
00:07:52.000 How are you?
00:07:52.000 Mr. Josh Firestine.
00:07:53.000 May 21st.
00:07:53.000 Yeah.
00:07:54.000 Did I say 22nd?
00:07:55.000 Yeah, that's okay.
00:07:57.000 I screwed up.
00:07:57.000 That's all right.
00:07:58.000 I'll be there in 22nd too.
00:07:59.000 Why not?
00:08:00.000 Whoa, whoops.
00:08:03.000 Hit me with the admonisher.
00:08:04.000 Oh, yeah, right off the bat.
00:08:07.000 It's better than a cup of coffee.
00:08:08.000 Gerald loves it.
00:08:09.000 Also better than a good spanking.
00:08:12.000 Nothing's better than a good spanking.
00:08:14.000 Depends on who's doing the spanking.
00:08:16.000 That's true, actually.
00:08:17.000 Which heart are you, Gerald?
00:08:21.000 So, we're going to get to.
00:08:23.000 We have a theme today.
00:08:27.000 Alcoholism.
00:08:28.000 Doing well, Gerald?
00:08:30.000 And.
00:08:32.000 He just has a.
00:08:32.000 No, no.
00:08:33.000 He just has the most expensive, largest capacity wine fridge in his office.
00:08:38.000 Well, you never know.
00:08:42.000 That locks.
00:08:43.000 It does lock.
00:08:44.000 I've been trying to get some of that.
00:08:46.000 Yeah.
00:08:46.000 No, you can't.
00:08:47.000 He treats it like the Hope Diamond.
00:08:47.000 You can't.
00:08:48.000 You're supposed to drink it, though.
00:08:50.000 Same with the Hope Diamond.
00:08:50.000 I do.
00:08:50.000 I know.
00:08:51.000 You're supposed to put it in your butt.
00:08:53.000 Yeah, you're not supposed to just hook it straight to your veins.
00:08:55.000 Yeah.
00:08:56.000 That's what you do.
00:08:57.000 You put it up there and you hope it comes out.
00:08:59.000 You thought he was doing one of those recovery IVs.
00:09:00.000 No, it's just a nice Chianti.
00:09:03.000 You knew that for a second.
00:09:04.000 I'm pretty sure it's Chianti.
00:09:05.000 That's the only reason.
00:09:06.000 All right.
00:09:08.000 Okay, so yesterday, speaking of alcoholism, this is the line of attack that you see from the left.
00:09:14.000 Now, Kash Patel may or may not be a booze hound.
00:09:19.000 I genuinely have no idea.
00:09:21.000 I only know that there's hearsay out there right now.
00:09:24.000 And I know that in the past, the hearsay has been verifiably false or, at the very least, greatly exaggerated.
00:09:30.000 Remember Brett Kavanaugh?
00:09:31.000 Tried to do the same thing with Pete Higseth, that kind of went away.
00:09:34.000 Doesn't mean that I think Kash Patel is a great director, to use the term.
00:09:38.000 So Senator Chris Van Hollen was asking Kash Patel.
00:09:41.000 About having a drinking problem, but the tables were turned.
00:09:46.000 Game respects game.
00:09:48.000 So, there have been no occasions during your tenure when FBI personnel were unable to promptly reach you?
00:09:53.000 Absolutely not.
00:09:54.000 You can ask my entire workforce.
00:09:55.000 They hear from me at every single hour of the day, as do these great gentlemen here, as do the men and women of the interagency and state and local law enforcement and the White House.
00:10:03.000 And so, there have been no occasions when your security detail had difficulty waking or locating you, is that right?
00:10:09.000 Nope, it's a total farce.
00:10:10.000 I don't even know where you get this stuff, but it doesn't make it credible because you say so.
00:10:14.000 I'm not saying it, Director Patel.
00:10:16.000 It's been written and documented.
00:10:18.000 You are literally saying it.
00:10:20.000 No, I'm saying that these are reports, Director Patel.
00:10:23.000 Unlike your baseless reports, the only person that was slinging margaritas in El Salvador on the taxpayer dollar with a convicted gangbanging rapist was you.
00:10:32.000 Oh, he's a parenthet.
00:10:33.000 The only person that ran up a $100,000 bar tab in Washington, D.C. at the lobby shop was you.
00:10:38.000 The only individual in this room that had been drinking on taxpayer dime during the day was you.
00:10:45.000 Director Patel, come on.
00:10:47.000 It's five o'clock somewhere.
00:10:50.000 Come on.
00:10:52.000 I'm a well known parrot head, which is a reason in and of itself to hate me.
00:10:57.000 If you're a parrot head, I think you're worse than ISIS.
00:11:02.000 Some people might not know what that is.
00:11:04.000 You educated me.
00:11:05.000 It is a Jimmy Buffett fan.
00:11:06.000 It is a Jimmy Buffett fan who goes out of his way to purchase a wardrobe and refer to himself or herself, though let's be honest, very rarely, as a parrot head.
00:11:16.000 Look, before I go on to the point here about the great exchange that we just saw, this is the point.
00:11:21.000 To me, remember Noodle?
00:11:24.000 You remember when people used to be like, ah, that band sold out?
00:11:26.000 You know?
00:11:27.000 Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:11:28.000 Jimmy Buffett woke up and he drafted a plan.
00:11:32.000 How can I sell out?
00:11:34.000 At no point did he say, Hey, I really want this music to be authentic, representative of my.
00:11:38.000 It's how can I sell margarita makers and live on an island?
00:11:44.000 Let me write those songs and make people feel like they're in some part of a middle aged, underachieving pseudo motorcycle shit club.
00:11:44.000 Yeah.
00:11:55.000 So you don't like island life.
00:11:56.000 Okay, got it.
00:11:57.000 You're a mountains man.
00:11:58.000 I got it.
00:11:58.000 And then Kenny Chesney said, Hold my beer.
00:12:00.000 And you're like, You're doing the same thing.
00:12:02.000 Same thing with your sleeveless shirts and your fraudulent marriages.
00:12:05.000 Now, you're homosexual.
00:12:06.000 Kenny Chesney is selling beer bongs.
00:12:07.000 It's just anally.
00:12:10.000 By the way, Kash Patel.
00:12:11.000 What?
00:12:13.000 You're going to skip right over that, Steven?
00:12:16.000 I think you're using beer bongs wrong, Gerald.
00:12:19.000 No, we were clipping it.
00:12:20.000 It was clean.
00:12:21.000 I think in his weird, degenerate subculture, he's using them exactly right.
00:12:26.000 Welcome to Margaritaville, boys.
00:12:29.000 Woohoo!
00:12:30.000 He bent over Steve O. That's Gerald.
00:12:33.000 Pegging away in Margaritaville.
00:12:35.000 Jesse was doing that.
00:12:35.000 I know.
00:12:39.000 It's SM somewhere.
00:12:41.000 All right.
00:12:45.000 Cash.
00:12:47.000 This is the point.
00:12:48.000 This is all this is the point.
00:12:49.000 No, the point, like, look, this is one of those things where everyone's like, what do you think?
00:12:52.000 Like, what do you think about Cash Patrol drinking?
00:12:52.000 We'll get a lot of credits.
00:12:54.000 I don't think he's a great FBI director, just to be clear.
00:12:57.000 I don't care.
00:12:58.000 And I don't know that any of this is true.
00:13:01.000 Can we get off of this, guys?
00:13:03.000 Can we stop with everything just?
00:13:05.000 Being the gossip and everyone developing an opinion because half of this country is 100% convinced that Kash Patel, Pete Hegseth, and well, that they're alcoholics, so is Brett Kavanaugh, by the way, and a gang rapist.
00:13:18.000 People believe that all because of some hearsay.
00:13:21.000 Some people still believe that Donald Trump, President Trump, jerked the wheel from the Secret Service as they were going back because bitch Cassidy said so.
00:13:30.000 And then when questioned on it, Andre, oh, like, okay, that didn't happen.
00:13:33.000 So that's why it descends into silliness.
00:13:35.000 By the way, Kash Patel even backed this up with a receipt later on on X. You guys can go check that out.
00:13:41.000 Now, it doesn't refute all of them.
00:13:42.000 It just refutes at least one of them.
00:13:44.000 Because the truth is, this is what happens.
00:13:46.000 People make as many accusations as they can against their political opposition, and there's no way to defend against all of them.
00:13:52.000 That's the play.
00:13:54.000 And so the only way to win is to not play the game.
00:13:56.000 Some machine that takes us all over at some point told Matthew Broderick that.
00:14:00.000 This is not new.
00:14:02.000 Democrats have been doing this for a very long time.
00:14:04.000 Guys, all I want you, please, please recognize the playbook and sidestep it.
00:14:09.000 So, you're saying there's never been a case where you drank so much that you didn't remember what happened the night before or part of what happened?
00:14:16.000 You're asking about blackout.
00:14:18.000 I don't know, have you?
00:14:19.000 You recently promised some of my Republican colleagues that you stopped drinking and won't drink if confirmed, correct?
00:14:31.000 Absolutely.
00:14:32.000 Will you resign as Secretary of Defense if you drink on the job?
00:14:36.000 Judge Kavanaugh, you drink on weekdays as well in high school, not just weekends.
00:14:41.000 In high school?
00:14:42.000 On weekdays?
00:14:43.000 Yes, sir.
00:14:45.000 I'd say that's rare.
00:14:49.000 Remember that?
00:14:49.000 Gotcha.
00:14:50.000 Because remember, here's how it starts.
00:14:52.000 Hey, you've been accused of rape, I believe, if it was gang rape.
00:14:57.000 And then say, well, that's not true.
00:14:58.000 Well, you've been accused of maybe unwanted advances.
00:15:02.000 Well, that's not true.
00:15:03.000 Well, you've been accused of being an alcoholic.
00:15:06.000 No, that's not true.
00:15:07.000 Do you like beer sometimes on Tuesday?
00:15:10.000 How about you go crawl into a hole and die figuratively?
00:15:14.000 Okay?
00:15:15.000 Okay, that works for me.
00:15:16.000 I hope it works for you, secretly, not so secretly gay Cory Booker.
00:15:21.000 Yeah, what are you, the drug rehab, drug and alcohol rehab intake questionnaire?
00:15:25.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:15:26.000 Oh my God, he had a Coors Light on a Tuesday.
00:15:29.000 Let's send him to rehab.
00:15:31.000 It's just, they used to pay farmhands in beer.
00:15:34.000 Look, if you don't drink, great, good on you.
00:15:36.000 Better to not drink.
00:15:37.000 Don't start.
00:15:38.000 But they apply this standard because they've got nothing.
00:15:43.000 Nothing.
00:15:44.000 And FBI agents, I should be clear, waited for Senator Van Hollen after the hearing for questioning, but he was nowhere to be found.
00:15:50.000 Luckily, one reporter was able to track him down.
00:15:53.000 Just pretend like we're talking until the cops leave.
00:15:56.000 It's uncanny.
00:15:58.000 That's him, right?
00:15:59.000 Yeah, only without the likability, Senator.
00:16:02.000 Oh, yeah.
00:16:04.000 He has some likability.
00:16:05.000 So, and by the way, you can check it.
00:16:06.000 If you don't know where to go find those receipts or you don't have an X, we provide the references.
00:16:10.000 Link in the description, as we do every weekday.
00:16:12.000 We live stream 11 a.m. Eastern.
00:16:15.000 Here's the next segment.
00:16:17.000 And I know you're going to say, look, why even spend time on this?
00:16:19.000 Because the idea that a socialist could balance a budget is silly.
00:16:25.000 People are buying it, though.
00:16:27.000 Yeah.
00:16:27.000 That's why I'm saying that.
00:16:28.000 Literally buying it.
00:16:29.000 They have to pay for it.
00:16:30.000 They ought to pay for it.
00:16:31.000 It is silly, but Mamdani is claiming just that.
00:16:34.000 It's time for Claim Truth.
00:16:40.000 Yeah.
00:16:40.000 So we don't need to spend a whole lot of time on this, but I'll make the links, references available as we do every show, like I just said, in the description.
00:16:47.000 11 a.m.
00:16:48.000 It's a pretty good little bibliography.
00:16:48.000 Go check them out.
00:16:50.000 Yesterday, Zorhan Mamdani, I throw up in my mouth when I say it.
00:16:55.000 A little bit, yeah.
00:16:56.000 He made this claim in his video celebrating his.
00:17:00.000 Fiscal success.
00:17:01.000 Yeah, a democratic socialist, a socialist, a Marxist.
00:17:04.000 Fiscal success, the hallmark of the communist in New York City.
00:17:09.000 New York, it's executive budget season.
00:17:12.000 And I'm proud to announce that our city's budget is fully balanced.
00:17:16.000 This budget isn't just about numbers on a page.
00:17:18.000 It determines if our libraries get funded, if a street is safe to cross, if snow is actually shoveled after a storm.
00:17:23.000 And you deserve that.
00:17:24.000 If I can make this video, he's just naming all the things he hasn't done.
00:17:28.000 Yes, that's true.
00:17:30.000 Snow being shoveled.
00:17:31.000 Like your own people literally have.
00:17:34.000 There's hours and hours of footage of your government not being able to shovel snow to the point where you guys now have to shovel trash.
00:17:41.000 But it's just amazing how these people lie straight to your face.
00:17:44.000 Let's continue.
00:17:46.000 How we got here.
00:17:47.000 We inherited a $12 billion budget deficit.
00:17:49.000 We are speaking about a fiscal crisis at the scale greater than the Great Recession.
00:17:54.000 Was the Great Recession?
00:17:55.000 Great Recession.
00:17:56.000 Many said the only way out of this was slashing services and passing an austerity budget.
00:18:00.000 We rejected that.
00:18:01.000 After months of painstaking work, that deficit is now zero.
00:18:04.000 Our city is now on firm financial ground.
00:18:07.000 Okay, so just in case you want us to cut through the fog here a little bit, here's the claim that he's making there.
00:18:13.000 Mamdani is claiming that he balanced the budget.
00:18:15.000 Okay, okay, cool.
00:18:16.000 Here's the truth Kathy Hochul balanced the budget.
00:18:20.000 She gave him like $8 billion, $4 billion each year for two years.
00:18:26.000 Oh, and Mamdani delayed funding pensions for like five years.
00:18:28.000 Like, well, we're going to get to it.
00:18:31.000 That's it.
00:18:31.000 Eventually.
00:18:32.000 There's no more fat check than we balance the budget.
00:18:35.000 You mean someone gave you money?
00:18:38.000 And you actually just decided that you'd write an IOU for one of your biggest line items?
00:18:43.000 Okay, let's extol the virtues of socialism in New York City.
00:18:48.000 Some people will buy it.
00:18:49.000 New Yorkers who are watching right now, you tell me, are your neighbors buying it?
00:18:54.000 If you're watching, you probably don't.
00:18:56.000 Do people there actually buy this?
00:18:58.000 Are there people actually going out with a talking point?
00:19:00.000 Well, Mamdani, you know, got to give it to him.
00:19:03.000 That commie prick balanced the budget.
00:19:06.000 Yeah, these were all the bullets in his gun, and he has a $7 billion shortfall.
00:19:11.000 Next year.
00:19:12.000 He just pushed things a year.
00:19:13.000 That was it.
00:19:14.000 I know.
00:19:15.000 I know.
00:19:15.000 Enjoy your grocery stores.
00:19:16.000 Good luck.
00:19:17.000 So they're going to cut those pensions, or sorry, they're going to delay the funding of the pensions for five years.
00:19:22.000 Also, increasing tolls on roadways, the handicap being exempt, which was great news for the ghost of Stephen Hawking.
00:19:29.000 This is fucking awesome.
00:19:30.000 I will save so much on tolls.
00:19:41.000 He can move when he wants to.
00:19:45.000 Nice one.
00:19:46.000 Just need the right motivation.
00:19:47.000 He does.
00:19:47.000 He really does.
00:19:49.000 Play the theme from the Breakfast Club.
00:19:51.000 I can do it.
00:19:52.000 I will do it.
00:19:54.000 Amazed.
00:19:55.000 Amazed.
00:19:55.000 Look, everyone's.
00:19:56.000 The power of friendship.
00:20:00.000 He's a physicist care bear.
00:20:04.000 Everyone is taking a hit financially.
00:20:06.000 I understand that.
00:20:07.000 And it's not lost on me, especially when we're talking about the Iran conflict and gas prices.
00:20:11.000 Everyone's taking a hit.
00:20:12.000 And I get it.
00:20:13.000 This needs to be corrected, or President Trump is going to be facing some problems.
00:20:16.000 But you don't have to take a hit on your mortgage.
00:20:24.000 And there I was.
00:20:26.000 Laying in a puddle of my own filth.
00:20:27.000 I got a cat licking my anus inside my rental.
00:20:32.000 And that's what I knew.
00:20:34.000 I knew that I needed something better.
00:20:38.000 We've all been there.
00:20:39.000 But just remember this it's always darkest right before the dawn.
00:20:43.000 I know.
00:20:44.000 I just need to make better choices.
00:20:47.000 Well, it's the first day of the rest of your life, bud.
00:20:49.000 Got plenty of time for that.
00:20:51.000 Nick, I noticed you haven't said anything in a while.
00:20:54.000 Anything you'd like to share with the group?
00:20:56.000 Yeah, yeah, I'm actually in a really good place.
00:20:59.000 Since our last meeting, I think my life's done a complete 180.
00:21:02.000 Yeah, how so?
00:21:03.000 I found a new plug.
00:21:04.000 No, that's not what this is about.
00:21:07.000 You don't move from one thing to another.
00:21:09.000 That's not helping.
00:21:10.000 No, no, it really is.
00:21:12.000 Tell us, how is it helping you?
00:21:14.000 Well, they gave me a great deal, and they helped me regain control.
00:21:18.000 That's not control, though, Nick.
00:21:21.000 It's not control if you're letting something else take over.
00:21:22.000 You can't place one with the other.
00:21:24.000 That's not how it works.
00:21:26.000 It's not like that at all.
00:21:27.000 It's like I'm saving over $800 a month.
00:21:31.000 Think about it, that's like an extra $10,000 raise a year.
00:21:35.000 Well, that's certainly an interesting way to look at it.
00:21:38.000 Yeah, I mean, there's no upfront costs, there's no hidden fees, and it's salary based, so they're not going to push you into a deal that doesn't make sense for you.
00:21:46.000 I think you actually might be onto something.
00:21:48.000 Who's your guy?
00:21:50.000 Oh, it's not a guy, it's the whole team at American Financing.
00:21:53.000 Well, thanks for sharing that with us.
00:21:54.000 No problem.
00:21:55.000 Yeah, now what do you guys say we go to his new house and do some drones?

00:22:27.000 They took my keys.
00:22:29.000 I just got the carpets cleaned.
00:22:31.000 We just keep trying to think up ways to offend sponsors here, and it doesn't happen.
00:22:35.000 Yes, Noodles.
00:22:36.000 We will do it.
00:22:37.000 Oh, I was just responding to your question.
00:22:39.000 Oh, from earlier?
00:22:40.000 Yes, good.
00:22:41.000 About how you.
00:22:42.000 No chlamydia.
00:22:43.000 Totally fine.
00:22:43.000 How you walk with that thing?
00:22:44.000 All clear.
00:22:46.000 It's important to know.
00:22:46.000 Truth is, he doesn't.
00:22:47.000 He wheels.
00:22:48.000 Now.
00:22:50.000 He's got a wide stance.
00:22:53.000 Guys, people are like, oh, that's childish.
00:22:54.000 Look, we can't.
00:22:56.000 Hey, he has been touched by the fist of God, son.
00:23:01.000 Yeah, the only thing that's not childish is the size of his midnight hammer.
00:23:05.000 He uses the kid's urinal for extra death.
00:23:07.000 Look.
00:23:09.000 Guys, this is an aside.
00:23:10.000 You guys know, right?
00:23:12.000 You comment below.
00:23:13.000 Women, if you don't understand it, it's one of those things.
00:23:14.000 It does not come up in conversations.
00:23:17.000 It's not like the Call Her Daddy podcast where they get really salacious, but when there's an outlier, guys go, Well, that's what it's like to have that.
00:23:25.000 Okay.
00:23:25.000 Yeah, it's not a bad thing.
00:23:26.000 It's a good thing.
00:23:27.000 It's celebrated.
00:23:28.000 I went fishing with him.
00:23:29.000 The motor went out.
00:23:31.000 noodles, goes to the back, whips it out.
00:23:34.000 We're good to go.
00:23:36.000 What, the Indian sunburn to wind it up?
00:23:40.000 Whatever you got to do to get off the lake, Steve.
00:23:41.000 All right.
00:23:42.000 Helicopter, helicopter.
00:23:44.000 And then we had to stop.
00:23:45.000 We used it as an anchor.
00:23:46.000 It's multi purpose.
00:23:47.000 It's like a firefighter throws it over your shoulder to control the hose, you know?
00:23:51.000 You killed it.
00:23:52.000 Now, this is a big one.
00:23:56.000 This is a big one because we were all, Gerald.
00:23:59.000 I mean, a lot of people here weren't aware of this.
00:24:01.000 No, not at all.
00:24:02.000 On the H 1Bs.
00:24:03.000 And that's my question to you before we get into this.
00:24:06.000 H 1Bs was discussed yesterday with Nick Fuentes.
00:24:09.000 Now, of course, I'm not going to say that the problem is solved.
00:24:12.000 I mean, a problem that has been created by design from the left.
00:24:17.000 And by the way, it's been exacerbated, of course, by the right.
00:24:19.000 There really, before Donald Trump, wasn't anyone who was.
00:24:21.000 Who's doing anything about this?
00:24:23.000 I mean, that's why you heard Marjorie Taylor Greene, for example, say, like, wow, I know we want to deal with illegal immigrants, but we need them for construction companies.
00:24:31.000 So it's nice to see someone actually within their authority doing something of significance.
00:24:37.000 H 1B's numbers are in this year, and they're possibly going to be revised.
00:24:41.000 We see that with every jobs report, you see it with deportations.
00:24:45.000 It's time for another claim truth.
00:24:51.000 Two stingers in claim truth today.
00:24:54.000 So, all the references, I know this will be a little nerdy, but I'll try and make this as streamlined as I can for you.
00:24:59.000 Check the references, link in the description.
00:25:01.000 11 a.m. Eastern is when we stream.
00:25:02.000 We give them every day.
00:25:03.000 First claim that you will see is that the annual visa lottery, the cap, is still being maxed out.
00:25:12.000 We're going to get more.
00:25:13.000 And so the implication is that basically there's no improvement.
00:25:17.000 They hit the cap.
00:25:18.000 They hit the cap every year.
00:25:20.000 And by the way, we're going to get more.
00:25:22.000 I mean, Elon Musk and Little Tech are lobbying this administration.
00:25:25.000 So.
00:25:26.000 And for those of you who don't know, the H 1B annual cap is like $85,000.
00:25:28.000 It's $65,000, which are the regular ones, plus $20,000 for master's degrees or higher.
00:25:34.000 Here's the truth.
00:25:37.000 Yeah, the cap, sure.
00:25:38.000 Congress sets the cap, not the president.
00:25:42.000 And this is important because President Trump doesn't get credit when he does things through executive order or things that he can do, taking action under the presidential powers.
00:25:52.000 And he gets blamed simultaneously.
00:25:53.000 People go, and he also hasn't.
00:25:56.000 Place at his feet the fact that Democrats are blocking something specifically.
00:25:59.000 So it's a damned if he does, damned if he doesn't.
00:26:01.000 So Congress sets the cap.
00:26:03.000 And those of you who are familiar with the Immigration Act of 1990 know that.
00:26:06.000 There have been bills that have been kind of put forward to lower it.
00:26:11.000 Congress hasn't acted.
00:26:12.000 And this is because of 100% of Democrats and anywhere from call it five to 20 on a really bad day Republicans.
00:26:22.000 And you should know them by name and they should be ousted.
00:26:25.000 But it's 100% of Democrats.
00:26:27.000 The president cannot change the cap.
00:26:29.000 That's not in his purview.
00:26:31.000 Here's the truth that's really important.
00:26:35.000 President Trump, through direct action, has reduced dramatically H 1B, specifically those who are coming in new H 1Bs from overseas.
00:26:44.000 So he imposed a $100,000 fee on all new H 1B applications from outside the United States.
00:26:51.000 That's its own separate category because a lot of them, most of them, are renewals.
00:26:57.000 Okay?
00:26:58.000 So outside of the U.S., they're down about 87%.
00:27:00.000 Total issuances.
00:27:02.000 Are down about 25%, just to be clear.
00:27:04.000 The cap may not be hit when you understand how this can work long term.
00:27:09.000 That means that up to 50,000 fewer H1Bs in America this year, and that number can continue to go down.
00:27:16.000 The number that can be affected, new H1Bs from outside of the country, meaning people coming here from India, well, that's actually under the presidential powers.
00:27:26.000 Why?
00:27:26.000 Because he can control who comes into the country.
00:27:29.000 He doesn't need to actually go through Congress for that.
00:27:31.000 In order to change the cap or in order to deal with those who are already here as legal residents, not citizens, that would require an act of Congress.
00:27:40.000 There's another sort of bureaucratic process that can go through.
00:27:43.000 Effectively, you need an alliance to do that.
00:27:45.000 And it takes time for these processes to really kind of take effect, right?
00:27:49.000 So we won't really know the numbers.
00:27:50.000 We will get some results basically in December, roughly.
00:27:53.000 I'm just kind of calling roughly when it'll come out for fiscal year for the next year, right?
00:27:58.000 And we'll know, okay, here's a little bit more of the impact that you will have on race.
00:28:01.000 Right now, we have numbers from last year essentially that we're playing with.
00:28:04.000 So the one thing that he did, okay, now $100,000.
00:28:08.000 You want to bring someone in who's not in the United States, a new H 1B, you're going to pay $100,000.
00:28:13.000 That has had such an effect, I guess you'd say, upstream.
00:28:16.000 Because H 1Bs, there's kind of, you know, not everyone gets them.
00:28:18.000 There's the application, right?
00:28:21.000 That's down about 25%, I believe.
00:28:22.000 Issuances, down 25%.
00:28:24.000 So between 25% and 27%, check the references.
00:28:27.000 I mean, there are people who apply, that's down.
00:28:30.000 The people who get them total, that includes people who are here, that's down.
00:28:34.000 New people getting here with H 1Bs, coming here and replacing your job, down 87%.
00:28:42.000 That's 2026.
00:28:46.000 We are not the same.
00:28:48.000 To be clear, that is not the same as the increase that we saw under Joe Biden.
00:28:52.000 We saw an increase depending on the category you use here, anywhere from 10 to 90%.
00:28:56.000 By the way, the denial rates under Biden were like 1% or 2%.
00:29:00.000 It was H1B, everyone come on in, everyone gets renewed.
00:29:03.000 Apply, you got it.
00:29:04.000 Stamp, The one thing under President Trump's control right away, a $100,000 fee.
00:29:10.000 The other thing is he's also imposed a wage sort of weighted system for these lottery applicants and enforced some anti fraud measures.
00:29:17.000 So, what does that mean?
00:29:18.000 That there are better.
00:29:19.000 Lottery odds for higher skilled workers.
00:29:21.000 That would mean someone's, okay, boss is paying $100,000, and the likelihood of someone actually getting approved, getting this issuance, is going to be a highly paid, highly skilled individual.
00:29:33.000 Otherwise, it doesn't make sense.
00:29:35.000 The problem, the primary problem, morally, it's a problem across the board, but the primary problem for the American middle class is someone coming in here, consequence free, and doing a job for $60,000, living in a house with 18 other Bangladeshis that an American would be paid $120,000 for.
00:29:52.000 That doesn't happen if we continue on this path of, well, it's going to cost you six figures to bring them in, and we're going to make sure that these people are what you said they are.
00:30:01.000 They're the next Mr. Toyota.
00:30:03.000 They're the next, you know, Haji Nikolai Tesla.
00:30:06.000 It also means we're not going to see right now, if you look at these changes, fake duplicate entries, gaming the system.
00:30:11.000 That's something of significance.
00:30:13.000 Like I said, the lottery registrations, they're down.
00:30:15.000 It was 26.9%.
00:30:17.000 They just sent that to me.
00:30:18.000 Another truth that's important.
00:30:20.000 Keep this in mind 87% of new H1.
00:30:24.000 You guys think that's small?
00:30:26.000 It's most.
00:30:27.000 Yeah, it's most in the one area where he can go, okay, stroke of a pen.
00:30:31.000 Right.
00:30:32.000 Same thing, what can he do with the border?
00:30:34.000 Boom.
00:30:35.000 Don't let people in.
00:30:36.000 Building the wall requires Congress, right?
00:30:38.000 It requires going through a budgetary measure, and now we are building the wall again.
00:30:43.000 It's going to take time, but the things that he can do right under his purview, he is reversed very, very quickly, gets no credit for it because they can be undone.
00:30:51.000 It's a valid criticism as far as the method, or it's a valid concern.
00:30:56.000 It doesn't mean that he hasn't tried.
00:30:59.000 To blame him for things that cannot be done.
00:31:02.000 Like, for example, we talked about this with Comey, talked about it with Doge in some examples.
00:31:07.000 They go, well, people haven't been arrested and perp walked.
00:31:10.000 Okay, Comey indicted from a grand jury, right?
00:31:15.000 It takes time sometimes.
00:31:15.000 It takes time.
00:31:16.000 Well, he might walk.
00:31:17.000 Okay, do you think the president can just sign a paper and go, and anyone I don't like is a criminal?
00:31:23.000 That is fascism.
00:31:24.000 Yeah, that can't actually be done.
00:31:27.000 You look at what he's doing with the SPLC, these investigations.
00:31:30.000 There are a lot of things that can be done, and there are things that cannot.
00:31:32.000 Here's another truth President Trump has cracked down on fraudulent employers.
00:31:37.000 September, I believe in 2025, was when they implemented Project Firewall.
00:31:41.000 So, what that does is it specifically targets employers.
00:31:43.000 By the way, this is also dealing with the corporate interests.
00:31:46.000 So, when people say, well, they don't care because they have the corporate interests, this is dealing with the policy at a government level as it relates to national entry, 87% reduction, and going after the corporate interests who would stand to gain from cheap labor.
00:32:02.000 This targets corporations, employers paying less than what they reported on H 1B applications.
00:32:08.000 So, we've seen a 48% increase in investigations into H 1Bs, millions in underpaid wages.
00:32:15.000 Have been discovered.
00:32:16.000 It's going to take some time, but now we're going to see a shifting of the Overton window.
00:32:20.000 It used to be, well, Americans, you know, from people like Vivek, from people like Elon Musk, who we criticize.
00:32:26.000 There aren't enough skilled people in the States, right?
00:32:28.000 That's why you guys are just going to fall behind.
00:32:30.000 No, it turns out that, first off, they're fraudulent degree mills, and people are getting placed into jobs where they are not more qualified or capable than Americans.
00:32:39.000 They're just doing it a whole lot cheaper.
00:32:41.000 And now we're going to make sure that we know if that's the case, and you have to pay the piper $100,000.
00:32:47.000 Shouldn't mean all that much if it's some kind of new VP of marketing, coding, whatever it is, technology being paid $500,000, $750,000 a year.
00:32:56.000 You're not going to pay it if it's actually just cheap third world labor.
00:32:59.000 That's what this targets.
00:33:00.000 Yeah.
00:33:00.000 And by the way, a lot of people are using the argument of it's the trust me, bro mentality that they've seen in the past.
00:33:05.000 And I'm like, no, it's not.
00:33:07.000 Donald Trump is taking very active steps.
00:33:09.000 He's already achieving results with his actions and will do more.
00:33:14.000 He's saying, hey, I'm working on it.
00:33:16.000 You can see the results.
00:33:18.000 Trust me, more is coming.
00:33:19.000 By the way, another stat that was thrown in there in that Cato study the number of foreign students coming visas issued to foreign students to come to the United States to take the place of American students in institutions to get those STEM field jobs is down significantly.
00:33:31.000 I'm going by memory, but I think it was close to 40%.
00:33:34.000 It was a huge, huge decrease.
00:33:36.000 So to say the president is not doing anything and is just doing the same thing as every other president has done with the trust me, I'll get to it is an absolute lie.
00:33:43.000 You're just not paying attention to what he's actually doing.
00:33:45.000 You may want more, and so do we, but there is a process to get there, and I want to win.
00:33:51.000 I don't want to burn things down to try to get it done in one day.
00:33:53.000 I want to win.
00:33:54.000 Let's say you have a backyard kiddie pool.
00:33:56.000 Okay.
00:33:57.000 And someone filled it with, let's say, 50% poop.
00:34:02.000 Oh, that's good.
00:34:04.000 And then you got a new pool guy.
00:34:07.000 And he came in.
00:34:07.000 He's like, you know what?
00:34:08.000 This is a lot of poop.
00:34:10.000 And he says, I don't think you want this here.
00:34:12.000 So he reduces it by 87%.
00:34:15.000 He goes, look, I did everything that I can do.
00:34:17.000 But for the rest of it, I'm going to have to get a pump.
00:34:19.000 There's going to be a process.
00:34:20.000 I'm going to get you a bill.
00:34:22.000 Now, would you say that that is nothing?
00:34:24.000 You'd still be concerned about the poop.
00:34:26.000 But your alternative is picking the guy who is guaranteed going to put in 50% more poop, so your pool is now, congratulations, 100% poop.
00:34:34.000 What do you pick?
00:34:35.000 Minus 87 or plus?
00:34:37.000 100, 200?
00:34:39.000 Plus, by the way, would you take 99% border reduction, which, by the way, can be undone until the wall's entirely completed, not as inconsequentially as people have made it seem, or plus 10 to 20 million illegal aliens in three and a half years?
00:34:55.000 They are not comparable.
00:34:58.000 And this isn't even saying the perfect is the enemy of the good.
00:35:00.000 This is saying huge, historically significant wins and steps in a direction that people said would never be taken, right?
00:35:08.000 No one's going to go up against the corporate interests.
00:35:11.000 $100,000 fee, and we're going to make sure that there's no fraud and you aren't underpaying people.
00:35:16.000 There you go.
00:35:18.000 I would just, on that one, hey, thank you.
00:35:20.000 And we're going to get to some good Trump, bad Trump.
00:35:22.000 By the way, this is also in line with what we've been proposing for a long time.
00:35:26.000 I issued a policy prescription specifically on H 1Bs not that long ago.
00:35:30.000 Five steps.
00:35:32.000 Number one, all right?
00:35:34.000 There's a minimum salary for H 1B visas.
00:35:37.000 Starts at $150,000.
00:35:38.000 Let's pick that number.
00:35:39.000 You can argue with me, say it should start at $130,000, $200,000.
00:35:42.000 Again, broad stroke number.
00:35:43.000 Step two have an additional tax on those working on H 1Bs.
00:35:48.000 Why?
00:35:48.000 Because you want to come to the greatest country in the world.
00:35:50.000 You're leaving a place like India, and you should pay for that luxury.
00:35:54.000 And there would be a huge tax on any money being sent back home to home countries.
00:35:58.000 In other words, we're not going to deal with the problem of people coming here, going to school, making money, taking a job from an American worker, and sending all that money back to India, back to Mexico.
00:36:07.000 Jail time.
00:36:09.000 And revoking the ability, the right to practice business in any capacity forever for any company or person caught engaging in resume or degree fraud.
00:36:19.000 The punishments have to be so terrifying that people won't even think of it.
00:36:25.000 Step four H 1B.
00:36:28.000 Beneficiaries here must pass a civics test, a language test, and provide proof of community service, charity.
00:36:36.000 Again, prove that they're benefiting American society at large.
00:36:40.000 Any staffing or third party company caught skimming money off the top, taking a commission, engaging in fraud of any kind is never allowed to conduct business in this country again or receive federal funding in any capacity whatsoever.
00:36:57.000 And I believe it was actually you afterwards who said maybe just a one time fee initially.
00:37:01.000 Yeah.
00:37:01.000 Where frankly, we thought that might be unrealistic.
00:37:03.000 It'd be too hard to push through, so you could start with a base salary as a requirement.
00:37:08.000 They went right for $100,000.
00:37:10.000 Yeah.
00:37:10.000 They went way higher than I thought they were actually going to go.
00:37:12.000 And that was in response to Elon Musk and I believe maybe Jack Dorsey and a couple of others chiming in over our kind of Christmas break time saying they needed to uncap H1Bs.
00:37:21.000 Yeah.
00:37:22.000 So the push was that's what people have to remember.
00:37:24.000 The moment Donald Trump steps in office, what's the push?
00:37:27.000 The push is to uncap H1Bs from some of your biggest companies in the country.
00:37:32.000 Yeah.
00:37:32.000 And he goes the opposite direction.
00:37:34.000 So to say that Trump is either controlled by other people, is not doing enough, totally messes all of the context and all of the results.
00:37:40.000 So you only get there if you want to get there.
00:37:43.000 By the way, here's something else you could say.
00:37:45.000 Uh, I would say, yeah, you know what?
00:37:46.000 Sure, uncap it.
00:37:47.000 Make the fee $250,000.
00:37:48.000 Guess what?
00:37:49.000 The cap is no longer relevant.
00:37:51.000 The rate limiting factor on businesses trying to scam the American worker in the system is it cost effective?
00:37:58.000 Same thing when we're talking about single family housing units, to be clear.
00:38:02.000 48% increase in investigations.
00:38:06.000 Seems like someone's taking that pretty seriously.
00:38:08.000 So here's the thing, guys.
00:38:10.000 This show, this platform, but you, many of you went online and many of you wrote your representatives to talk about H 1Bs when we heard that from Vivek, from Elon Musk.
00:38:20.000 And yes, Donald Trump, oh, we have to uncap H 1Bs.
00:38:22.000 Guess what?
00:38:23.000 They're responsive.
00:38:25.000 But people won't continue to be responsive if you just don't acknowledge these wins.
00:38:30.000 And it's amazing to me that more people are not talking about an 87% reduction.
00:38:33.000 Also, a bonus here they are cracking down not just on employers, but fraudulent music and bootlegging.
00:38:40.000 And this bootlegger has finally had his misdeeds catch up to him.
00:39:20.000 Boy, Aziz Ansari has really fallen on tough times.
00:39:24.000 I want to close the spaces in between us.
00:39:27.000 That's weird.
00:39:27.000 What is he?
00:39:28.000 Is he playing rock, paper, scissors with his cameraman?
00:39:31.000 No, you did paper.
00:39:33.000 No, they're like 20, 30 years behind.
00:39:35.000 He's telling them to cut it out.
00:39:38.000 He just found Full House for the first time.
00:39:40.000 How rude.
00:39:43.000 That was very rude.
00:39:45.000 That was very rude.
00:39:47.000 Uh oh.
00:39:47.000 I don't know what other tagline structure.
00:39:49.000 Did I do that?
00:39:50.000 Ah, there you go.
00:39:51.000 Got any cheese?
00:39:54.000 Where's the beef?
00:39:55.000 Where's the beef?
00:39:56.000 We worship it.
00:39:57.000 That's right.
00:39:57.000 We don't have it.
00:39:58.000 We don't eat the beef.
00:39:58.000 We don't eat it.
00:39:59.000 You will say, Where's the beef?
00:40:01.000 Everywhere in India because there's no beef.
00:40:04.000 I will go on.
00:40:06.000 But if you ask, Where's the beef dung?
00:40:08.000 I am taking a bath in it.
00:40:10.000 Right.
00:40:11.000 And I also just can't wait to be king.
00:40:14.000 Why are you doing the Disney thing?
00:40:17.000 In West New Delhi.
00:40:18.000 Yeah.
00:40:21.000 Also, you know, here's the one thing that I will say that I appreciate about India.
00:40:23.000 As I understand it, they do belly dancing, but they don't have strippers.
00:40:27.000 So, they've managed to preserve some decency.
00:40:29.000 There you go.
00:40:29.000 Good job.
00:40:30.000 I mean, when they're not busy gang raping water monitor lizards.
00:40:33.000 That happened.
00:40:34.000 Well, you should have seen it.
00:40:36.000 We are anti-only fans here.
00:40:38.000 We've been very clear.
00:40:39.000 And also anti-sex work in general.

00:40:43.000 I say no.
00:40:45.000 I say no.

00:41:31.000 Link in the description.
00:41:33.000 Yeah, I already said that.
00:41:34.000 Do it.
00:41:34.000 I already said that.
00:41:35.000 I'm not interested.
00:41:36.000 Because Gerald doesn't listen.
00:41:37.000 Link in the description, guys.
00:41:38.000 Sing her out.
00:41:40.000 There's a link.
00:41:41.000 Why?
00:41:46.000 Where's the link?
00:41:47.000 In the description, Josh.
00:41:50.000 I hope that Gerald can be my guest to kiss my ass.
00:41:55.000 I thought you were going to say be your hero.
00:41:57.000 I was like, oh, no.
00:41:59.000 No.
00:41:59.000 Pakistan.
00:42:00.000 I do blame Pakistan.
00:42:02.000 Also, if you look up Pakistan in.
00:42:08.000 Merriam Webster, a synonym is Gerald.
00:42:12.000 They're one and the same.
00:42:13.000 Blame Gerald or Pakistan.
00:42:16.000 Or Pakistan?
00:42:17.000 Yeah, either one.
00:42:18.000 Thank you for the raid, Dan.
00:42:19.000 We appreciate it.
00:42:20.000 Welcome.
00:42:21.000 We are actually now going to be discussing something I would say is the most important issue facing the United States.
00:42:28.000 And I've said this many times I think that cultural issues have much more significance than a lot of our political institutions.
00:42:38.000 And it doesn't mean that political institutions don't determine a lot of what takes place in culture, but many Americans, you know, politics is kind of a team sport, how people view it, or they view it as something that is just dirty no matter what.
00:42:49.000 So they often don't pay attention to it, but they are constantly affected by and they are constantly inundated with whatever the culture deems acceptable or whatever the culture deems necessary to propagandize people with, which we have seen.
00:43:02.000 We've seen one specific worldview being thrust upon the American public.
00:43:08.000 Since the 1960s.
00:43:09.000 That's how they've achieved power over our institutions.
00:43:11.000 It really began, you can go back to the 30s, 40s, but 1960s was that tipping point, came to fruition in the 70s, thanks to Marxism, thanks to feminism.
00:43:20.000 And by the way, feminism cannot exist without Marxism.
00:43:22.000 We're not talking about a woman who wants to go be a nurse.
00:43:25.000 No, that was never a problem.
00:43:26.000 We're talking about the idea that men and women are fundamentally interchangeable, and there's no ideal scenario in which to rear children.
00:43:35.000 That's what we're talking about when we're talking about feminism.
00:43:38.000 And it does follow in Marxism.
00:43:41.000 We now have marriage rates, and we now have A fundamentally different American society because the central building block is not families.
00:43:49.000 Now, for those of you who may not be aware of the history, and you can go through all the feminists, Rachel Wilson is very good on this.
00:43:55.000 You can go through even sort of pseudo existentialists, Simone de Beauvoir, Judith Butler.
00:44:01.000 All of them either expressed subversely or blatantly the need to destroy the American nuclear family.
00:44:11.000 So this comes from 1970.
00:44:12.000 The American feminist Kate Millett said that.
00:44:14.000 The complete destruction of traditional marriage in the nuclear family is the revolutionary or utopian goal of feminism.
00:44:21.000 Noted feminist, often cited, by the way, I'm using the ones who are cited by those on the left.
00:44:26.000 If you go to their blogs, if you go to their websites, Shulamith Firestone wrote, Yeah, unless revolution uproots the basic social organization, the biological family, the vacuum through which the psychology of power can always be smuggled, the tapeworm of exploitation will never be.
00:44:44.000 Wow.
00:44:45.000 Then you have another feminist, Linda Gordon, said the nuclear family must be destroyed and we must find a different way of living together.
00:44:55.000 And think about that.
00:44:56.000 It must be destroyed.
00:44:57.000 The biological family must find a different way of living together.
00:45:02.000 That's hard and it wasn't super palatable.
00:45:04.000 And so it changes to, well, did we say a different way?
00:45:08.000 We meant to say it takes a village.
00:45:12.000 And what do we have now?
00:45:13.000 Well, people aren't getting married anymore.
00:45:37.000 No.
00:45:39.000 Okay.
00:45:40.000 So I want to ask you a few fundamental questions here before I make the case for you and give you some historical data.
00:45:46.000 Do you believe that for Western civilization, and certainly Christian Western civilization, right, the United States says we want to conserve, that's what we mean by conservatism.
00:45:57.000 Do you mean for that to exist?
00:45:59.000 Do you believe that marriage, or at least maybe we're not talking about state marriage, but the covenant between husband and wife, Is important.
00:46:09.000 Do you believe that that is central to raising children and creating a stable family?
00:46:14.000 And ultimately, those are the building blocks to create a stable community.
00:46:17.000 Do you believe that that central building block, the nuclear family, is an incredibly effective safeguard against government overreach, of course, reliance on government and being indoctrinated by the leftist elites?
00:46:34.000 Now, I will tell you that last objectively is true.
00:46:36.000 But how important do you think it is?
00:46:38.000 Okay, now you understand.
00:46:40.000 The catastrophe that we are facing.
00:46:41.000 And it couldn't have been engineered more effectively over the long game, which is what the left has played.
00:46:47.000 You've probably seen this out there, this table that shows marriage.
00:46:52.000 Can you guys bring it up?
00:46:54.000 People being married by 30.
00:46:56.000 So it was on Twitter.
00:46:57.000 Someone posted, I'm sorry, I can't give credit, but it was shared everywhere, but it didn't actually have a source.
00:47:01.000 Well, we confirmed it.
00:47:03.000 It is legitimate.
00:47:04.000 So in 1975, most women in this country, 91%, were married by the age 30.
00:47:11.000 2025, that's down to 25 point something percent.
00:47:15.000 Wow.
00:47:16.000 Men, 1975, 81 percent were married.
00:47:18.000 It's always been a smaller percentage of the population.
00:47:22.000 Today or 2025, 16 and a half percent.
00:47:26.000 So we've gone respectively from 91 and 81 down to 25 and 16.
00:47:33.000 Look behind you, that's the tipping point.
00:47:36.000 Yeah.
00:47:37.000 Do you, does anyone honestly think that you will not have?
00:47:42.000 A not just fundamentally different society, an unrecognizable society.
00:47:48.000 When you compare a society where the vast majority of people under the age of 30 are married and having families, and then the vast majority are not getting married or having children, that's the difference that has taken place in really 40, 50 years.
00:48:09.000 Those are two intact.
00:48:10.000 Just imagine how different it is in your neighborhood, even whether you're renting or owning.
00:48:16.000 You go out, what are you going to see?
00:48:19.000 Nine times out of ten, you're going to see a married woman, probably with some kids, and probably a father who's there and in the house.
00:48:24.000 And those kids are going to have a mommy and daddy.
00:48:26.000 When you go to work, the water cooler conversation is mostly going to center around families and those events and perhaps Little League.
00:48:33.000 Today, there is not that commonality.
00:48:36.000 The conversations, if you are one of those, you'd be an outlier.
00:48:40.000 It's actually more difficult to find people to connect with if you are a young married parent.
00:48:48.000 That is not a small change.
00:48:50.000 That is the biggest change that America has seen.
00:48:53.000 And it is what has been the catalyst or really removed as guards at the gates that's allowed the rest of this change.
00:49:00.000 So let's look at some other potential correlations.
00:49:03.000 You just heard those quotes from feminists, and you could even go back to, of course, Marx.
00:49:07.000 We see that.
00:49:08.000 Yeah, it changes dramatically, right?
00:49:08.000 You saw that chart.
00:49:10.000 Really from the 70s when it starts going down.
00:49:12.000 Okay.
00:49:13.000 No fault divorce, right?
00:49:16.000 Before the 1970s, divorce was difficult.
00:49:19.000 Divorce was discouraged.
00:49:20.000 When you had a majority of the citizenry married and centering their life around being married and raising children, guess what?
00:49:28.000 They were likely to discourage divorce.
00:49:30.000 They were likely to support your marriage.
00:49:32.000 You had more people you could rely on.
00:49:35.000 You had a larger circle of those who may be older and wiser.
00:49:40.000 No fault.
00:49:41.000 1969.
00:49:43.000 Huge screw up from Reagan.
00:49:44.000 It was pushed, though, to be clear, really was early pushed by people like Hugh Hefner or Kinsey because they didn't want men to be punished for cheating.
00:49:51.000 And then it got co opted by feminists.
00:49:52.000 Well, divorces went up 50%.
00:49:54.000 Okay.
00:49:54.000 It just skyrocketed after that.
00:49:57.000 The history of that is pornographers, because before no fault divorce, basically there are three faults either infidelity, that was a fault, primary one.
00:50:07.000 Physical abuse was a fault.
00:50:09.000 And if those weren't the reasons listed, abandonment was a fault.
00:50:14.000 Meaning, what we now use is breakdown in communications, growing apart, finding it difficult to get along.
00:50:22.000 That was filed under the general umbrella of abandonment.
00:50:26.000 Quit.
00:50:27.000 So if a guy cheated, you've been told guys used to cheat with their secretaries and leave them with nothing.
00:50:30.000 Now, if a guy cheated, he paid.
00:50:33.000 That's why Hugh Hefner and people like that said, well, we actually understand man as a sexual animal.
00:50:38.000 So if we have no fault divorce, The man can cheat and not be punished.
00:50:42.000 That then got mutated into, you know what?
00:50:44.000 No fault divorce is just going to be we will punish the primary earner regardless of context.
00:50:50.000 Anyone can leave at any time and you split it up.
00:50:52.000 I can't believe they didn't see that coming though.
00:50:53.000 You say mutated, but I can't believe they didn't see it coming.
00:50:56.000 They didn't expect women to use this.
00:50:57.000 They called it no fault.
00:50:59.000 Right.
00:50:59.000 How many faults?
00:51:00.000 Well, none.
00:51:01.000 They were primarily thinking no fault on the cheating.
00:51:04.000 Right.
00:51:04.000 And then it became no fault at all, at all, at all, at all, including if you just quit because you're bored in your marriage.
00:51:10.000 And we see the rates of divorce and who files for divorce most often, anywhere from 60 to 70% of the time, it's women.
00:51:17.000 Let's look at something else.
00:51:19.000 Antidepressant use up dramatically.
00:51:22.000 97%, these are the numbers that we have because it doesn't go back that far reliably.
00:51:26.000 7%, up over 15%.
00:51:29.000 That's more than doubled in 28 years.
00:51:32.000 I bet that graph goes on, though.
00:51:34.000 I bet that same trend, I bet we only have since the 90s.
00:51:37.000 I bet if you go back to the 70s, 60s, I bet that antidepressant use is way down.
00:51:41.000 Yeah, well, I mean, it didn't exist.
00:51:42.000 We're gonna just so you know, we're gonna be putting all these graphs together so you haven't, and then we'll see if we could perhaps see some kind of a pattern or correlation doesn't equal causation.
00:51:51.000 I get that, but like five or six, oh, okay, maybe you start to recognize this pattern here.
00:51:58.000 And all of these, of course, have been pushed by the left as progress.
00:52:02.000 Antidepressant use a big reason, by the way, is of course the most likely to use them young liberal women, and a big part of that is young liberal women who are atheists, they're more likely to use antidepressants.
00:52:12.000 Liberal women have abandoned God more than any other group, and you see that in psychiatric drug use.
00:52:16.000 I'm not saying there's never an appropriate circumstance for them.
00:52:19.000 I am saying that the usage therein has gone up dramatically.
00:52:23.000 Coincidentally, I should note, pro depressant use is also up as well.
00:52:27.000 So to have you doing something that is forcing you to be like in your body, leading with your body, and what's like the end goal of the samurai training?
00:52:38.000 No one knows.
00:52:39.000 Also, the use of pro psychotic drugs.
00:52:43.000 You don't get to ask those questions.
00:52:46.000 What's wrong with you, Mom?
00:52:48.000 Are you so scared?
00:52:50.000 Come on.
00:52:51.000 Come on.
00:52:52.000 Come on, gals.
00:52:52.000 Life's out there.
00:52:53.000 You don't need a pill or a screen to feel.
00:52:58.000 So crazy.
00:53:00.000 Not Photoshopped.
00:53:01.000 Here's another one.
00:53:01.000 And people will say, well, isn't that a good thing on its surface?
00:53:03.000 Well, no.
00:53:07.000 Just no.
00:53:08.000 Because this has been the women with college degrees, women with bachelor's.
00:53:11.000 So in 1975, it was about 20%.
00:53:15.000 Now, I believe it's 40 something, 47%.
00:53:19.000 And you see a correlation there.
00:53:20.000 That's a separate graph where the more women who get college degrees, bachelor's degrees, the less likely they are to be married.
00:53:27.000 Now, why?
00:53:28.000 A couple of reasons as to why.
00:53:31.000 It's not that the degree in and of itself is bad.
00:53:33.000 It's that that degree is being pursued during a time where women, understanding that those were their most fertile years, they were deciding to pursue families.
00:53:42.000 Women used to pursue families, and then often once the kids were raised and old enough, that's when they would frequently go to college.
00:53:47.000 If you look at women in the labor force, it's been consistently high.
00:53:50.000 This idea that they were only allowed to be pregnant and barefoot.
00:53:53.000 Well, it's not true.
00:53:54.000 They just often went into careers later, should they so choose to do so.
00:53:58.000 So it's a timing equation, and then it also results in.
00:54:02.000 Stat after stat shows us that women, not all, not all, not all, not all, I have to say it, don't want to hitch themselves to a spouse who makes less than them.
00:54:12.000 So you've now reduced the pool of suitors.
00:54:15.000 Now that'd be fine if women were happier.
00:54:17.000 They're more miserable than ever.
00:54:19.000 So they're getting their degree, they're not having families, they find it harder to find a man because they spend their time pursuing a profession, and they tend to be making more in those instances than the men who they would consider to be mates.
00:54:29.000 And so they're discounted, they're disqualified.
00:54:32.000 And so women are lonelier and more miserable, and men are checking out.
00:54:37.000 Big part of this is Title IX enforcement since 1972.
00:54:40.000 It led to a huge surge in women's college enrollment.
00:54:43.000 Again, this was the goal.
00:54:45.000 You can look at the rhetoric.
00:54:46.000 Go to school, get a degree, all the while, no nuclear family.
00:54:50.000 That's the ultimate goal, right?
00:54:51.000 Is to destroy the nuclear family.
00:54:52.000 Then they implemented the strategy.
00:54:54.000 Yeah, yeah, go to school, be a boss, babe.
00:54:56.000 That's going to fulfill you more.
00:54:58.000 You're a slave.
00:54:59.000 They called it slave labor if you were a stay at home wife or mom.
00:55:03.000 And this brings us to women in the workforce.
00:55:05.000 75 is about 46%.
00:55:07.000 Hey, it's a far cry from no women were allowed to work.
00:55:09.000 Yeah.
00:55:10.000 Now it's 57%, which isn't as big of an increase.
00:55:15.000 It's the time at which they are working.
00:55:16.000 Because again, if you look back, women were working later and often jobs that allowed for more flexibility.
00:55:22.000 Again, second wave feminism, if we want to use those terms, I almost feel like those terms, it's just feminism.
00:55:28.000 They stigmatized domestic life.
00:55:30.000 They told women that you were a slave if you were staying at home.
00:55:34.000 So you go, you pursue a bachelor's degree, you go into the workforce, and oh my gosh, now there's no guy for you and you can't start a family.
00:55:39.000 You're not a slave to that college debt, which we'll get to?
00:55:41.000 Yeah.
00:55:42.000 You're not a slave to that boss?
00:55:43.000 Yeah.
00:55:44.000 Who's literally paying you to work for them in comparison?
00:55:47.000 Cost of housing.
00:55:48.000 Britney Spears was a millionaire.
00:55:49.000 She was a slave for me.
00:55:50.000 That's true.
00:55:51.000 She was a slave for everybody.
00:55:53.000 That's true.
00:55:53.000 She also really knew how to wield that umbrella.
00:55:55.000 She was like the penguin.
00:55:57.000 Now, cost of housing.
00:55:59.000 This is a big one.
00:56:00.000 And you might say, well, what does this have to do with the progressive left?
00:56:02.000 Well, in 1975, I believe the average price was around $38,000.
00:56:07.000 Now it's $403,000.
00:56:08.000 That's a 1,000% increase, not accounting for inflation.
00:56:13.000 Let's look at, and if you look at that graph, you see some notable spikes.
00:56:17.000 It consistently goes up.
00:56:18.000 But if you get more granular, you will see there were some notable policies that led to it.
00:56:23.000 You look at the overhaul of the Community Reinvestment Act under Clinton.
00:56:26.000 This is where people talk about Barney Frank.
00:56:29.000 Then, of course, you look at the subprime loan market.
00:56:32.000 That increased the housing prices dramatically because anyone could get a home regardless of money down.
00:56:39.000 Then you look at the bailouts afterwards.
00:56:40.000 These people got a home, they didn't put money down on with incredibly low interest rates.
00:56:45.000 It should be foreclosed upon, but instead, those people were kept in the houses.
00:56:49.000 So people who had saved.
00:56:50.000 While banks were no longer taking the risk, couldn't afford the down payment, boom, boom, prices go up, let alone COVID.
00:56:58.000 We have had an engineered society as far as the housing market.
00:57:02.000 Why?
00:57:03.000 To look out for the underprivileged, to look out for the single moms, the leftist creation, to be clear.
00:57:10.000 Let's look at student debt.
00:57:12.000 That's a big one.
00:57:13.000 1975, overall, it was $8 billion.
00:57:17.000 Today, it's $1.6 trillion.
00:57:21.000 And a lot of people say, oh, this is the problem because Republicans.
00:57:23.000 No, you guys need to know this.
00:57:25.000 We've talked about it quite a bit in depth.
00:57:26.000 Go check out those previous segments.
00:57:28.000 Link in the description, 11 a.m. Eastern.
00:57:30.000 We always provide them.
00:57:31.000 You can see university prices, tuitions going up as government aid increased.
00:57:35.000 So tuition outpaced inflation by over 300%.
00:57:40.000 The markets that outpaced inflation by a number that defies reason and occurs nowhere in nature, you'll see the same thing in healthcare costs.
00:57:49.000 You will find the industries that have been subject to the most amount of government meddling out of all.
00:57:57.000 You see it with airlines, you see it with insurance.
00:58:00.000 You see it with big banks.
00:58:01.000 You see it with housing.
00:58:03.000 You see it with tuition.
00:58:05.000 The really simple way of understanding this is schools are incentivized to make school unaffordable.
00:58:11.000 Why?
00:58:11.000 Because Uncle Sam makes up the gap.
00:58:14.000 So you actually want to charge a price that nobody can pay.
00:58:17.000 Otherwise, Uncle Sam doesn't give you that grant, doesn't give you that scholarship.
00:58:22.000 If you don't say, ah, tuition's $50K for a student to say, well, I can't afford that.
00:58:27.000 Well, guess what?
00:58:28.000 You're UT, AM is going to do that.
00:58:30.000 And guess who's going to make up the $40K?
00:58:32.000 Uncle Sam.
00:58:34.000 So, you're actually precluded from conducting a school in most instances if you make it affordable and you don't rely on grants and subsidies.
00:58:43.000 It's unbelievable.
00:58:45.000 And when you add all this up, all of this, right?
00:58:48.000 Let's subsidize school.
00:58:50.000 Let's subsidize housing.
00:58:52.000 Let's send women into school, tell them that they should pursue college immediately and they should pursue a career throughout their fertile years.
00:58:59.000 And also, let's create no fault divorce so we make this a contract that's a no win situation for a primary earner.
00:59:06.000 All of these policies.
00:59:07.000 Spearheaded and championed by the left.
00:59:11.000 Do we see a correlation when we put it all together here and the marriage rates?
00:59:17.000 Here we go.
00:59:19.000 You got them coming onto the chart there?
00:59:21.000 It just looks like.
00:59:22.000 There you go.
00:59:23.000 Okay.
00:59:23.000 Second.
00:59:24.000 Let's add it up.
00:59:25.000 All right.
00:59:26.000 Let's look at these.
00:59:28.000 Uh huh.
00:59:30.000 Uh huh.
00:59:32.000 Ah.
00:59:33.000 Seems like we're seeing a pretty consistent right there that intersect, that tipping point.
00:59:38.000 And it's one we can't come back from.
00:59:39.000 We need another tipping point.
00:59:42.000 Do it the opposite way.
00:59:44.000 Do it the opposite way.
00:59:45.000 And people say this is so scary.
00:59:47.000 How could we do this?
00:59:48.000 How could we encourage young people, not get married young at all costs, but how could we tell them, hey, it's what's most fulfilling in life?
00:59:56.000 It's actually a very important metric or indicator as far as economic outcome for both you and the child, as far as mental health, as far as personal happiness, as far as drug abuse, as far as financial stability, which might mean you need to plan on working as a team with someone where one of you goes to college while one of you stays home when you pursue it later.
01:00:16.000 You know, Traditional male female dynamics.
01:00:19.000 Because if we don't try and create another tipping point in this country, and if we don't reform divorce laws, if we don't make the marital contract something that makes sense to people, by the way, who would love to be monogamous and find a life partner, I will tell you this I, as a conservative Christian, believe that the nuclear family and the covenant of marriage is central.
01:00:40.000 It's a bedrock to the foundation of America.
01:00:42.000 Without it, we don't have a country.
01:00:45.000 And it's difficult for me.
01:00:47.000 On a logistical level, to advocate that a successful young man sign that contract as it exists, we have a problem.
01:00:56.000 We have a problem.
01:00:57.000 There's a separation between a biblical covenant, what a marriage is, and what the state has made it.
01:01:01.000 And we've got to reverse course.
01:01:02.000 Yeah.
01:01:03.000 And kind of like you were talking about the housing market, there were several moments along the way that really increased the prices.
01:01:09.000 It seems like there was this tipping point in the late 60s, early 70s, when no fault divorce, you're pushing women into colleges through Title IX, all of those things, and kind of this feminist revolution happened that really set the track.
01:01:20.000 And then multiple things after that just keep.
01:01:22.000 Pushing the marriage rate down over and over and over.
01:01:25.000 Our policies throughout history on this have been horrible.
01:01:28.000 And we've talked about this not just with women, but with men.
01:01:31.000 Not all men need to go to college and have $400,000 in college debt that they now have to go into the workforce and work a job that they hate just to try to pay off and be under that shackle as well.
01:01:42.000 But certainly not women exchanging.
01:01:44.000 And it is an exchange.
01:01:45.000 You are exchanging your most fertile years, not just for four years, but for the debt afterwards, for the career after that.
01:01:53.000 Because why did I go to college in the first place if I'm not going to pursue a career?
01:01:56.000 For the possibility that now you probably will have less chance of finding a husband because I'm focused on this.
01:02:01.000 I don't want to settle down right now.
01:02:03.000 And then at 30, that comes along.
01:02:05.000 How can you possibly have a decent sized family if everybody's waiting into their 30s?
01:02:10.000 All of the problems that we've discussed with fertility go up massively.
01:02:14.000 I think a geriatric pregnancy is 35 or 34.
01:02:18.000 It's not, people don't understand.
01:02:19.000 Like it is really, really rough.
01:02:21.000 Yeah.
01:02:21.000 Now do the timing.
01:02:22.000 How long do you want to be married before you have kids?
01:02:25.000 Now do all that.
01:02:25.000 How do we expect society to have any other result than what we see today?
01:02:29.000 Right.
01:02:31.000 It's terrible.
01:02:32.000 The left sees this as a victory.
01:02:33.000 People need to get over the, well, feminism and women.
01:02:36.000 You guys don't, it's not that we don't like women.
01:02:38.000 We love women.
01:02:39.000 We want society to flourish, and it isn't working the way we're doing it.
01:02:43.000 Get over yourselves on men, women.
01:02:45.000 It's both in some cases, but the feminism thing has got to end.
01:02:50.000 It's got to go away.
01:02:51.000 The culture's got to change because there is pathways that you, you know, I know it's the most fertile years, but you go to four years of college, six if you're getting a master's or something like that.
01:03:00.000 You come out at 24 years old, you work a Couple years, you meet somebody in school, you meet somebody in your job space, in your neighborhood, or whatever, then you fall in love and you're married before it can happen.
01:03:10.000 Yeah.
01:03:10.000 What the problem is, the biggest problem is culture.
01:03:13.000 Right.
01:03:13.000 Yeah.
01:03:13.000 You turn on the radio, unless it's a country, even country music these days is celebrating singlehood, celebrating girl bosses.
01:03:22.000 Yeah.
01:03:22.000 Even single motherhood is like, yeah, just push that.
01:03:24.000 Celebrating, I chose fishing over my girlfriend.
01:03:27.000 Right.
01:03:28.000 Whatever Brad Paisley song is on at the time.
01:03:30.000 Yeah.
01:03:30.000 Yeah.
01:03:31.000 It starts with culture.
01:03:32.000 It really does.
01:03:32.000 I mean, there are mistakes, and we've shown those, and there are, Legal mistakes.
01:03:37.000 But those have all been pushed, and that is the culture.
01:03:40.000 I just watched it.
01:03:40.000 I couldn't watch it because some conservatives out there have been saying, like, oh, yeah, you know, was it so and so has money troubles on Apple TV?
01:03:48.000 What is it?
01:03:48.000 Margot has money troubles?
01:03:49.000 Whatever it's called.
01:03:51.000 It's basically like an OnlyFans thing.
01:03:52.000 But a lot of conservatives are like, this is great, actually, because she chooses, spoiler alert, first episode, not to abort a baby.
01:03:57.000 She's sleeping with her college professor.
01:03:59.000 He doesn't want to raise the child, and she rejects the idea of an abortion.
01:04:03.000 Okay.
01:04:04.000 Got it.
01:04:05.000 And they'll give you those slight wins that, oh, a baby is great, but literally the messaging is, You are destroying your life, and I am mourning the life that you never get to experience by having this baby.
01:04:18.000 Do you mean the life of dorm rooms and glorified alcoholism and working as an intern?
01:04:23.000 If you're lucky, maybe making a decent salary at a job.
01:04:26.000 The idea that foregoing that for the joy and miracle of creating and raising life is asinine on its face when I say it like that, but that's what people believe, and all of us have been affected by it to some degree.
01:04:42.000 How does it end?
01:04:43.000 I won't watch it.
01:04:44.000 I was like, after episode two, I was like, I can't do this.
01:04:46.000 Well, hopefully, you know, I hope it ends in a story of, wow, look at how rough this was, but look how worth it it was.
01:04:53.000 They'll always give some moments of that, but it's always like 90%, oh, it's miserable, and the baby throws up on you, and the baby is screaming, and you have no friends, and you lose your.
01:05:01.000 But it's really nice because you share an ice cream with it on a park bench or some shit.
01:05:04.000 It's like, how about you talk about the meaning of life and finding purpose?
01:05:09.000 If feminism and if leftism, if Marxism, and they are inextricably tied, by the way, the same Marxists back then are the same Marxists today.
01:05:17.000 That's why.
01:05:17.000 Black Lives Matter had destroying the nuclear family, the destruction of the nuclear family in its charter.
01:05:24.000 If feminism helped women, we wouldn't have women today fatter, sicker, and more unhappy than ever.
01:05:33.000 There you go.
01:05:34.000 Those are the results.
01:05:36.000 All right.
01:05:36.000 Speaking of results, let's get to President Trump.
01:05:38.000 He's going to be spending some time in China with the Chinese.
01:05:42.000 And by the way, this is what I think a lot of these moves, we've talked about this, have been made with the express sort of, they're sort of always top of mind, China.
01:05:50.000 When you look at Iran, you look at Venezuela, you look at Canada, you look at Greenland, all of them have one thing in common, and that is.
01:05:55.000 The Chinese.
01:05:56.000 So he is going to be having a meeting.
01:05:58.000 It hasn't taken place right now.
01:05:59.000 There aren't that many developments as of this moment, but there are four things that we believe or people are planning to be discussed.
01:06:07.000 And there's some speculation and our thoughts.
01:06:11.000 Here you go.
01:06:11.000 Here's a setup clip.
01:06:12.000 I forgot what it is.
01:06:13.000 This looks like a larger crowd than what I saw from 2017 for his arrival.
01:06:17.000 And again, look, President Xi knows what President Trump wants.
01:06:22.000 He knows that he wants a show, and he is getting one.
01:06:25.000 I mean, you can see right there the coordination with the flag.
01:06:29.000 It's not just 300 Chinese youths.
01:06:30.000 They have a coordinated flag movement with the Chinese youths there.
01:06:35.000 And in this moment, Kristen just.
01:06:36.000 Let's just pause.
01:06:37.000 So we'll wait and see until everyone takes it.
01:06:53.000 Was that lady wearing the Vans checkered off the wall skirt pattern?
01:06:58.000 So, some eyebrows have been raised, and I would say rightfully so.
01:07:02.000 Those who are joining him on his trip are all very much on the pro Chinese bandwagon.
01:07:08.000 Elon Musk, obviously, you know, Tesla, Larry Fink, Tim Cook, Tim Apple, as he referred to him.
01:07:14.000 That's right.
01:07:15.000 Jensen Huang, Nvidia, Brian Sykes, Marco Rubio rocking a new look.
01:07:21.000 So that's kind of cool.
01:07:22.000 He's kind of the one outlier looking.
01:07:26.000 It's exhausted dad chic.
01:07:28.000 It is, yeah.
01:07:29.000 There's even a movie regarding this trip in the works.
01:07:34.000 China.
01:07:36.000 So that looks fun.
01:07:37.000 The negotiation is going to be taking place.
01:07:38.000 And let me just sort of lay out for you what are viewed as the leverage points against the United States and China.
01:07:45.000 Against the United States, right?
01:07:46.000 They're occupied right now, pretty busy in Iran, and the perceptions they're in, the economic headwinds directly attached to Iran in many ways, and that they're going into midterms.
01:07:55.000 Right.
01:07:56.000 So China is aware of that.
01:07:56.000 They're going to probably be using that.
01:07:59.000 On the other side of this equation, China, you know, will probably be recognized by this administration as they have trade energy instability due to Iran.
01:08:08.000 Right.
01:08:08.000 They're far more reliant on it.
01:08:09.000 They have some serious economic problems.
01:08:12.000 And domestically, there's a lot of unrest and a lot of apathy.
01:08:15.000 And the Chinese citizens are not that happy with what's going on.
01:08:19.000 So yesterday, the Chinese embassy put out four red lines that must not be challenged the Taiwan question.
01:08:24.000 Oh, you got to read it like them.
01:08:26.000 The Taiwan question, the democracy and human rights.
01:08:30.000 Don't you just love how they're like, okay, okay, we'll sit down and we'll have a cup, we'll dish tea.
01:08:36.000 But off limits are human rights.
01:08:39.000 Off limits, anything bad we do.
01:08:44.000 Yeah, off limits.
01:08:45.000 Don't talk about my misfortune.
01:08:47.000 Well, look, I wasn't going to talk about it, but the fact that you say it's off limits makes me think you're violating human rights.
01:08:54.000 No, Off limits because they're perfect.
01:08:57.000 No need to improve.
01:08:59.000 No need to look over there.
01:09:01.000 Let's talk about chips.
01:09:03.000 Chips.
01:09:05.000 So, the Taiwan question democracy, human rights, paths, and political systems, the development rights of China.
01:09:12.000 You know, the things that actually matter because they want to act like they have a leg to stand on.
01:09:17.000 Now, I will say this I don't like the group of people who are going, and I don't like some of what I'm hearing.
01:09:23.000 But President Trump historically has usually struck a tone.
01:09:27.000 This is the carrot phase.
01:09:28.000 Right before spending time with China, talking about how he has a good relationship.
01:09:33.000 But there has been no president harder on China as a matter of policy than Donald Trump.
01:09:39.000 So there's the carrot and there's the stick.
01:09:42.000 I thought it was an amazing meeting.
01:09:46.000 He's a great leader, a great leader of a very powerful, very strong country, China.
01:09:52.000 I look forward to seeing President Xi.
01:09:54.000 I've always had his wife, he's fantastic.
01:09:56.000 He's an amazing guy.
01:09:59.000 And I've always had a great relationship.
01:10:01.000 President Xi of China.
01:10:02.000 Thank you very much.
01:10:03.000 It's a great honor to be with a friend of mine, really for a long time now, if you think about it.
01:10:09.000 The very, very distinguished and respected president of China.
01:10:15.000 All right, so for those of you who are Rumble premium members, we're going to go through the four things to watch and the latest installment.
01:10:22.000 It's time for Good Trump, Bad Trump.
01:10:25.000 Good Trump.
01:10:26.000 That's a really bad Trump.
