00:03:31.260 how many people living around 92 million okay yeah how could you not know that
00:03:37.660 i i don't sit around memorizing population tables well it's kind of relevant because you're calling for
00:03:44.120 the overthrow of the government why is it relevant whether it's 90 million or 80 million or 100 million
00:03:49.080 why is that because if you don't know anything about the country i didn't say i don't know
00:03:52.020 anything about okay what's the ethnic mix of iran they are persians and predominantly shia okay
00:03:58.440 this is no it's not even you don't know anything about iran so okay i am not the tucker carlson
00:04:04.520 expert on iran you're a senator who's calling you're the one who claims you're the one who claims
00:04:09.500 about the country no you don't know anything about the country you're the one who claims they're not
00:04:13.300 trying to murder donald trump you're the one who can't figure out if it was a good idea to kill
00:04:18.240 general soleimani and you said it was bad they're trying to murder trump yes i do because you're
00:04:22.320 not calling for military strikes against them in retaliation and if you really believe that
00:04:26.080 carrying out military strikes today you said israel was right with our help i've said we israel is
00:04:32.260 leading them but we're supporting them well this you're breaking news here because the u.s
00:04:35.860 government last night denied the national security council spokesman alex pfeiffer denied
00:04:39.820 on behalf of trump that we were acting on israel's behalf in any offensive capacity we're not bombing
00:04:45.240 them israel's bombing them you just said we were we are supporting israelis you're a senator if
00:04:51.340 you're saying the united states government is at war with iran right now people are listening
00:04:54.800 this one is saddest people this is one of the saddest clips i've seen in a long time i like
00:05:02.740 tucker carlson and i like ted cruz
00:05:05.040 tell you a story about a small town it's not unlike yours not unlike mine three men live side
00:05:16.460 by side one was a baker one was a preacher one was a school teacher they had known each other for
00:05:23.000 years they had raised their kids together they sat on the same bleachers at football games they argued
00:05:27.900 about taxes at the diner they they bought brought pies to one another's porches when life fell apart
00:05:33.640 for that family and they didn't agree on it a lot of things one of them was a conservative another one
00:05:39.840 was a liberal the preacher he was more concerned about heaven than washington but they all talked
00:05:45.340 they disagreed they argued sometimes they listened because somewhere deep down they had one thing in
00:05:53.120 common they cared they cared they cared about their town they cared about their kids they cared about
00:05:59.160 what kind of life they were leaving behind for those kids then a storm came bad storm not of wind and
00:06:10.280 rain and lightning and thunder but of ideas headlines hashtags rumors bots people all around that
00:06:22.740 wanted to separate these three men they began to mistrust
00:06:27.280 there's a storm that whispered in their ears he's not just wrong he's evil she's not just different
00:06:34.560 she's dangerous and little by little the voices that had once shared coffee and laughter were replaced
00:06:39.380 with silence then suspicion then contempt and then the baker accused the teacher of brainwashing his kids
00:06:49.680 and the teacher called the preacher a bigot and the preacher heart broke and went to his chapel
00:06:54.320 wondering what has happened what has happened and one by one they all just stopped speaking to one another
00:07:00.120 they sat on the same bleachers but on opposite ends now they passed each other but they passed in silence
00:07:05.620 when one's house burned down
00:07:10.260 nobody called the others to help
00:07:14.360 now let me ask you
00:07:18.400 how close are we to that moment
00:07:23.100 how many of our friendships are already buried
00:07:27.940 buried deep under the weight of a single disagreement
00:07:32.920 i have been wrong in my life more than i've been right
00:07:42.140 are you right more often than you're wrong
00:07:46.020 i am wrong more often than i am right
00:07:51.340 and i am wrong
00:07:54.420 i hope i'm getting better at this
00:07:57.340 but i am wrong
00:07:59.220 and it is only in my arrogance that i fail to say wow that was a huge mistake
00:08:05.020 when did we forget
00:08:08.980 to stop giving people the benefit of the doubt
00:08:14.400 when when did we
00:08:15.500 when did we forget being wrong doesn't make you wicked
00:08:18.920 what kind of country are we building if no one is allowed to be right
00:08:30.580 no i'm sorry let me say this right
00:08:32.680 when no one is allowed to be wrong
00:08:36.780 on their way
00:08:38.160 to becoming right
00:08:39.600 because when i'm wrong
00:08:44.020 what kind of country will we have
00:08:55.300 if no one is allowed to be wrong
00:08:58.860 on their way to becoming right
00:09:00.800 or having serious
00:09:03.020 disagreements
00:09:05.100 on how we view something
00:09:07.240 but we still have the same love of country
00:09:11.460 and the same basic understanding
00:09:13.780 of what this country means
00:09:15.560 and yet we blow each other up
00:09:18.740 there's no need for an enemy
00:09:20.600 judging right from wrong isn't just about being right
00:09:32.020 it's about
00:09:32.560 how we do it
00:09:34.440 do we look at another person's intent
00:09:37.420 or do we look at just their latest post
00:09:40.660 and not really even know the person
00:09:42.620 do we try to understand
00:09:45.360 or do we rush
00:09:46.280 to destroy
00:09:48.020 i can say so many great things
00:09:51.720 about
00:09:52.260 tucker carlson
00:09:53.620 and his intent
00:09:55.180 and what he believes
00:09:56.320 he believes in the same
00:09:57.800 kind of country i do
00:09:59.640 he believes in freedom
00:10:01.140 we
00:10:02.180 don't necessarily
00:10:03.540 agree on the way to get there
00:10:05.460 but i don't doubt his love for country
00:10:07.940 and i don't doubt
00:10:09.520 donald
00:10:10.060 ted cruz's love of country
00:10:12.660 and we don't agree on everything
00:10:15.820 but i'm not an enemy of those two
00:10:21.900 and neither of them are enemies of one another
00:10:25.700 and yet
00:10:26.420 now they are
00:10:27.700 now you are forced to decide
00:10:30.840 which one
00:10:32.140 is on your side
00:10:33.840 we're holding our
00:10:43.300 we're holding others to standards
00:10:44.880 we can't survive ourselves
00:10:46.940 if
00:10:48.300 everybody
00:10:49.360 if
00:10:49.900 you have to be in complete alignment
00:10:52.400 with
00:10:52.940 me
00:10:53.860 and not
00:10:54.980 not the constitution
00:10:56.320 but with me
00:10:58.320 me
00:10:59.720 and my friends
00:11:01.200 and the friends that i have today
00:11:02.980 because i might turn on my friends tomorrow
00:11:05.200 because they don't agree with me
00:11:07.400 what is left
00:11:10.560 you'll be left standing alone
00:11:13.760 you might be right
00:11:16.000 but you'll be surrounded
00:11:17.380 with nothing
00:11:19.520 trust
00:11:24.220 takes time
00:11:25.680 violation
00:11:27.480 of that trust
00:11:28.740 happens quickly
00:11:29.880 but how many times
00:11:32.320 have we really
00:11:33.280 been violated
00:11:34.140 recently
00:11:34.960 how many times
00:11:36.100 have people really
00:11:36.960 violated our trust
00:11:38.320 and how many times
00:11:41.120 has that
00:11:41.620 violation
00:11:42.280 come from
00:11:43.180 a post
00:11:44.220 where you didn't even
00:11:46.180 really hear
00:11:47.300 the full
00:11:47.820 context
00:11:48.680 or somebody
00:11:50.840 who is just
00:11:52.140 grinding axes
00:11:53.780 because
00:11:54.280 they both
00:11:55.820 you
00:11:56.020 you like
00:11:56.920 both of them
00:11:57.940 but they are just
00:12:02.360 going at it
00:12:03.060 because
00:12:03.520 in the moment
00:12:04.940 in the heated moment
00:12:06.100 they can't
00:12:07.120 find a way
00:12:08.280 to each other
00:12:09.020 and neither
00:12:10.960 one of them
00:12:11.720 is willing to take a breath
00:12:12.820 and say
00:12:13.300 can we start this conversation
00:12:15.840 again
00:12:16.220 and if they did
00:12:19.360 you're not going to see that
00:12:21.000 on social media
00:12:21.740 you'll never know
00:12:23.600 if they did that
00:12:24.560 trust takes time
00:12:31.680 humility takes practice
00:12:33.980 and grace
00:12:35.540 grace is the one thing
00:12:37.860 we all want for ourselves
00:12:38.960 but seem like we're
00:12:40.060 unwilling to give it
00:12:41.080 to anybody else
00:12:41.980 it's easy
00:12:43.540 to win an argument
00:12:44.700 it is really hard
00:12:46.500 to win a person
00:12:48.160 so maybe we should
00:12:51.380 ask ourselves
00:12:51.960 a couple of questions
00:12:52.720 here
00:12:53.000 am I listening
00:12:54.480 to respond
00:12:55.560 because I think
00:12:58.240 that's what most of us
00:12:59.100 do
00:12:59.320 we listen
00:13:01.040 to respond
00:13:01.940 and we respond
00:13:03.420 to win
00:13:04.300 are we listening
00:13:06.260 to respond
00:13:07.040 or are we listening
00:13:07.920 to understand
00:13:08.840 do we want truth
00:13:10.820 or do we want
00:13:12.000 a victory
00:13:12.640 am I giving others
00:13:15.460 the freedom
00:13:16.060 to change their mind
00:13:17.440 like
00:13:19.240 I may have to
00:13:20.760 tomorrow
00:13:21.340 we're headed
00:13:26.780 towards
00:13:27.380 a very different
00:13:29.180 nation
00:13:29.720 where all of us
00:13:31.500 we're going to be
00:13:32.300 a nation of
00:13:32.940 very lonely
00:13:34.120 victors
00:13:35.180 I won
00:13:37.280 and the echo
00:13:42.440 just keeps on
00:13:43.420 going
00:13:43.760 because
00:13:44.280 no one
00:13:45.240 is around
00:13:46.360 we're all
00:13:47.880 sitting on a
00:13:48.720 hill of ashes
00:13:49.680 shouting
00:13:50.560 I was right
00:13:51.960 right
00:13:52.620 right
00:13:53.340 right
00:13:54.060 look I'm not
00:13:57.780 I don't agree
00:13:58.540 with a lot of
00:13:59.100 things
00:13:59.360 and I get
00:13:59.740 really
00:14:00.100 I mean
00:14:00.860 I get really
00:14:01.640 hot sometimes
00:14:02.340 because I can't
00:14:03.100 believe people's
00:14:03.660 stupidity
00:14:04.280 but you know
00:14:06.080 what
00:14:06.360 I've been
00:14:07.580 really stupid
00:14:08.240 at times
00:14:08.760 too
00:14:09.080 I think
00:14:12.680 humility
00:14:20.340 is the key
00:14:21.060 to all of
00:14:21.540 this
00:14:21.800 and we
00:14:22.900 are so
00:14:23.520 we're all
00:14:26.140 in our
00:14:26.420 lizard brains
00:14:27.080 and now
00:14:28.680 our final
00:14:29.440 battle
00:14:29.840 we are
00:14:30.900 we're just
00:14:31.540 tearing each
00:14:32.100 other apart
00:14:32.720 we're tearing
00:14:33.500 our own
00:14:34.100 side apart
00:14:34.780 I mean
00:14:35.420 look at
00:14:35.660 what happened
00:14:35.980 with Elon
00:14:36.380 Musk and
00:14:36.880 Donald Trump
00:14:37.460 I like
00:14:38.180 both of
00:14:38.580 those men
00:14:39.060 I didn't
00:14:40.060 want to
00:14:40.320 see those
00:14:40.780 guys fight
00:14:41.900 I still
00:14:42.700 don't want
00:14:43.000 to see
00:14:43.240 those guys
00:14:43.720 fight
00:14:43.980 I would
00:14:44.220 love to
00:14:44.640 see
00:14:44.820 them
00:14:44.940 it would
00:14:45.320 be
00:14:45.480 great
00:14:46.100 it would
00:14:46.740 be
00:14:46.960 awesome
00:14:47.760 if they
00:14:48.680 could come
00:14:49.080 together
00:14:49.420 and even
00:14:50.020 if when
00:14:50.520 they came
00:14:50.900 together
00:14:51.260 they hugged
00:14:51.820 it out
00:14:52.080 and said
00:14:52.500 I don't
00:14:53.060 agree with
00:14:53.480 everything
00:14:53.840 he says
00:14:54.540 but he's
00:14:55.220 still my
00:14:55.580 friend
00:14:55.980 and we're
00:14:57.040 still on
00:14:57.500 the same
00:14:57.900 fight
00:14:58.260 I don't
00:14:59.040 agree with
00:14:59.580 what he's
00:14:59.960 doing here
00:15:00.400 here and
00:15:00.720 here and he
00:15:01.480 he doesn't
00:15:01.680 agree with
00:15:02.040 me here
00:15:02.420 here and
00:15:02.740 here but
00:15:03.860 we know
00:15:04.200 one thing
00:15:04.960 this country
00:15:05.620 is worth
00:15:06.200 saving and
00:15:07.500 while we
00:15:07.840 might disagree
00:15:08.580 on how
00:15:09.180 to get
00:15:09.760 there we
00:15:10.580 both know
00:15:11.620 we have
00:15:12.460 to get
00:15:13.020 there and
00:15:14.580 if we
00:15:14.880 continue to
00:15:15.680 divide
00:15:16.140 ourselves there
00:15:17.360 will be no
00:15:18.140 one left to
00:15:19.020 enjoy the
00:15:19.760 country and
00:15:20.820 we'll never
00:15:21.500 be able to
00:15:22.180 save it by
00:15:22.720 ourselves
00:15:23.360 so we
00:15:28.360 can either
00:15:28.700 just keep
00:15:29.900 bashing each
00:15:30.900 other
00:15:31.180 and you
00:15:34.500 know I
00:15:35.200 give this
00:15:35.820 monologue to
00:15:36.700 me as well
00:15:37.560 I want you
00:15:38.000 to know
00:15:38.400 it is so
00:15:39.680 hard for
00:15:40.360 me
00:15:40.740 to give
00:15:45.020 you the
00:15:45.280 monologue I'm
00:15:45.880 giving you
00:15:46.200 right now
00:15:46.780 for a couple
00:15:48.140 of reasons
00:15:48.680 it's not the
00:15:49.680 monologue I
00:15:50.380 want to
00:15:50.880 give
00:15:51.260 the monologue
00:15:52.080 I want to
00:15:52.860 give
00:15:53.200 oh is
00:15:53.880 really
00:15:54.360 passionate
00:15:54.920 it's also
00:15:57.580 not the
00:15:57.980 monologue you
00:15:58.760 want me to
00:15:59.480 give
00:15:59.840 because do
00:16:01.520 you know what
00:16:02.040 is happening
00:16:02.800 with AI right
00:16:03.500 now
00:16:03.760 right now
00:16:04.960 with AI
00:16:05.480 they are
00:16:06.160 now
00:16:06.700 changing the
00:16:08.280 algorithms
00:16:08.880 to give
00:16:10.840 you the
00:16:11.620 answer you
00:16:12.440 are looking
00:16:13.060 for
00:16:13.560 we are now
00:16:15.720 training AI
00:16:17.040 to put us
00:16:19.780 into more
00:16:21.220 of a bubble
00:16:21.880 and convince
00:16:23.300 all of us
00:16:23.900 that we
00:16:24.420 are right
00:16:25.040 because it
00:16:26.060 will give
00:16:26.480 you the
00:16:27.140 answer you
00:16:28.020 want
00:16:28.820 could anything
00:16:31.620 be more
00:16:32.100 destructive
00:16:32.580 when the
00:16:38.740 lights go
00:16:39.320 out
00:16:39.680 the schools
00:16:41.060 burn down
00:16:41.940 your house
00:16:44.880 burns down
00:16:45.880 when the
00:16:48.040 next storm
00:16:48.680 rolls in
00:16:49.540 it ain't
00:16:50.980 going to
00:16:51.180 be our
00:16:52.140 righteousness
00:16:52.940 that saves
00:16:54.140 us
00:16:54.560 it's going
00:16:57.820 to be the
00:16:58.140 friend
00:16:58.500 it's going
00:16:59.840 to be the
00:17:00.080 family member
00:17:00.600 that's still
00:17:01.160 willing to
00:17:01.620 pick up the
00:17:02.100 phone
00:17:02.380 even after
00:17:03.400 the last
00:17:03.940 yes agreement
00:17:04.600 and say
00:17:06.520 I'm here for
00:17:08.460 you I'm
00:17:08.700 coming to
00:17:09.060 help
00:17:09.300 let me tell
00:17:11.940 you about
00:17:12.160 Patriot Mobile
00:17:12.860 if I asked
00:17:14.140 you to put
00:17:14.420 a price
00:17:14.760 on your
00:17:15.040 car
00:17:15.340 you could
00:17:16.400 do it
00:17:16.780 might not
00:17:17.440 be exact
00:17:18.000 but you
00:17:18.340 could name
00:17:18.700 a number
00:17:19.080 certain amount
00:17:19.680 of money
00:17:19.960 where if
00:17:20.340 handed you
00:17:20.780 in cash
00:17:21.280 you'd be
00:17:21.560 willing to
00:17:21.860 hand over
00:17:22.120 the keys
00:17:22.540 now how
00:17:23.360 about your
00:17:23.680 house
00:17:24.180 your house
00:17:25.740 that's a
00:17:26.040 harder one
00:17:26.620 there's history
00:17:27.240 there
00:17:27.440 memories
00:17:27.820 roots
00:17:28.260 and there's
00:17:29.320 probably still
00:17:30.180 a number
00:17:30.560 there right
00:17:31.100 so the
00:17:32.180 question that
00:17:33.040 actually matters
00:17:33.800 is what
00:17:34.380 about your
00:17:34.820 principles
00:17:35.460 is there
00:17:36.580 a price
00:17:37.120 on your
00:17:37.800 principles
00:17:38.400 no
00:17:40.300 there's
00:17:41.160 not
00:17:41.520 you know
00:17:42.480 and there's
00:17:43.680 not a
00:17:43.940 price
00:17:44.140 especially
00:17:44.520 you know
00:17:44.800 when
00:17:44.980 when you're
00:17:45.640 paying a
00:17:46.200 bill to
00:17:46.800 one of the
00:17:47.240 big cell
00:17:47.660 phone companies
00:17:48.340 Verizon
00:17:48.840 AT&T
00:17:49.720 T-Mobile
00:17:50.540 part of that
00:17:51.460 money is going
00:17:52.060 to organizations
00:17:52.720 that stand
00:17:53.500 against your
00:17:54.560 principles
00:17:55.140 but there is a
00:17:56.180 choice and it's
00:17:56.880 Patriot Mobile
00:17:57.580 Patriot Mobile
00:17:58.560 gives you the
00:17:59.040 same great
00:17:59.500 coverage on the
00:18:00.140 same cell
00:18:00.760 towers but
00:18:01.260 they donate
00:18:01.720 to causes
00:18:02.220 you actually
00:18:02.960 support
00:18:03.420 pro-life
00:18:03.940 organizations
00:18:04.580 first responders
00:18:05.560 religious liberty
00:18:06.860 veterans
00:18:07.540 ask yourself
00:18:08.720 again
00:18:09.060 is there
00:18:09.660 a price
00:18:10.120 on your
00:18:10.540 principles
00:18:11.040 or is this

00:18:32.720 Sean

00:18:35.680 to the
00:18:35.900 program
00:18:36.320 thank you
00:18:37.760 for having
00:18:38.160 me sir
00:18:38.580 you bet
00:18:39.780 I'm glad
00:18:40.400 to have
00:18:40.680 you on
00:18:40.960 you know
00:18:41.300 I'm not
00:18:42.080 sure
00:18:42.440 I'm not
00:18:43.680 sure of
00:18:43.940 anybody's
00:18:44.420 position
00:18:44.780 because
00:18:45.140 the smart
00:18:46.400 people
00:18:46.820 like I
00:18:47.340 think you
00:18:47.740 are
00:18:48.040 are asking
00:18:49.360 questions
00:18:50.160 and
00:18:51.120 and not
00:18:52.500 coming out
00:18:53.160 with these
00:18:53.840 bold
00:18:54.300 declarations
00:18:55.280 they're just
00:18:56.120 asking
00:18:56.560 questions
00:18:57.180 and
00:18:57.660 sometimes
00:18:58.340 their own
00:18:58.980 response
00:18:59.380 at least
00:18:59.600 mine is
00:19:00.060 it's very
00:19:00.600 nuanced
00:19:01.100 and I'm
00:19:02.320 not
00:19:02.540 recommending
00:19:03.100 anything
00:19:03.820 I'm
00:19:05.220 asking
00:19:05.820 questions
00:19:06.320 and I'm
00:19:06.700 warning
00:19:07.160 about
00:19:07.620 the
00:19:07.900 mistakes
00:19:08.300 of the
00:19:08.620 past
00:19:09.020 I don't
00:19:09.920 trust
00:19:10.260 anybody
00:19:10.940 but I
00:19:12.900 also
00:19:13.240 think
00:19:13.740 a
00:19:13.980 nuclear
00:19:14.320 armed
00:19:14.880 Iran
00:19:16.080 is really
00:19:16.760 bad
00:19:17.300 but I
00:19:17.640 want
00:19:17.860 Israel
00:19:18.260 to take
00:19:18.720 care
00:19:18.920 of it
00:19:19.140 I
00:19:19.240 don't
00:19:19.380 want
00:19:19.540 to be
00:19:19.760 involved
00:19:20.140 in
00:19:20.360 that
00:19:20.580 it's
00:19:20.880 their
00:19:21.100 direct
00:19:21.680 threat
00:19:22.040 right
00:19:22.360 now
00:19:22.680 let
00:19:23.460 them
00:19:23.680 take
00:19:23.940 care
00:19:24.160 of
00:19:24.300 it
00:19:24.540 where
00:19:26.940 do we
00:19:27.640 go
00:19:27.920 from
00:19:28.200 here
00:19:28.360 what
00:19:28.560 questions
00:19:28.960 should
00:19:29.200 we
00:19:29.340 be
00:19:29.560 asking
00:19:30.060 ourselves
00:19:30.640 Sean
00:19:30.980 yeah
00:19:32.760 I
00:19:32.960 love
00:19:33.440 your
00:19:33.640 approach
00:19:34.040 to it
00:19:34.440 because
00:19:34.600 it
00:19:34.720 doesn't
00:19:35.000 start
00:19:35.340 with
00:19:35.580 the
00:19:35.740 conclusion
00:19:36.220 it's
00:19:36.660 kind
00:19:36.840 of
00:19:37.000 trying
00:19:37.480 to
00:19:37.660 build
00:19:37.980 what
00:19:38.200 we
00:19:38.360 should
00:19:38.520 be
00:19:38.640 doing
00:19:38.860 from
00:19:39.060 the
00:19:39.180 bottom
00:19:39.420 up
00:19:39.760 which
00:19:40.060 becomes
00:19:40.900 a
00:19:41.460 discussion
00:19:41.880 of
00:19:42.100 first
00:19:42.360 principles
00:19:42.860 and I
00:19:43.320 think
00:19:43.600 that's
00:19:43.860 really
00:19:44.120 important
00:19:44.600 I
00:19:45.740 think
00:19:46.000 we
00:19:46.140 probably
00:19:46.520 all
00:19:46.820 agree
00:19:47.140 that
00:19:47.400 we
00:19:47.560 don't
00:19:47.940 want
00:19:48.340 bad
00:19:48.780 people
00:19:49.160 and
00:19:49.460 we
00:19:49.560 don't
00:19:49.760 want
00:19:49.900 our
00:19:50.040 enemies
00:19:50.360 to
00:19:50.840 have
00:19:51.340 weapons
00:19:51.800 they
00:19:52.040 could
00:19:52.180 use
00:19:52.460 to
00:19:52.640 destroy
00:19:53.000 us
00:19:53.320 or
00:19:53.460 our
00:19:53.620 friends
00:19:53.940 I
00:19:54.160 think
00:19:54.480 probably
00:19:54.740 everyone
00:19:55.240 agrees
00:19:55.580 on that
00:19:55.960 we
00:19:56.840 probably
00:19:57.400 can I
00:19:58.100 add a
00:19:59.220 caveat
00:19:59.460 to that
00:19:59.920 not
00:20:00.520 just
00:20:00.860 our
00:20:01.120 enemies
00:20:01.540 but
00:20:02.160 especially
00:20:02.820 those
00:20:03.260 who
00:20:03.520 are
00:20:03.780 bat
00:20:04.460 crap
00:20:05.080 crazy
00:20:05.860 or
00:20:08.260 believe
00:20:08.580 in
00:20:09.080 the
00:20:09.460 return
00:20:09.840 of
00:20:10.020 the
00:20:10.160 Mahdi
00:20:10.520 and
00:20:10.760 I
00:20:10.900 can
00:20:11.060 hasten
00:20:11.420 his
00:20:11.580 return
00:20:11.880 by
00:20:12.060 washing
00:20:12.280 the
00:20:12.420 world
00:20:12.580 in
00:20:12.720 blood
00:20:12.940 that
00:20:13.440 kind
00:20:13.640 of
00:20:14.220 that
00:20:14.380 puts
00:20:14.540 you
00:20:14.660 in
00:20:14.740 a
00:20:14.880 special
00:20:15.240 category
00:20:15.620 for
00:20:15.920 me
00:20:16.120 but
00:20:16.340 anyway
00:20:16.500 go
00:20:16.700 ahead
00:20:16.900 and
00:20:17.840 I
00:20:18.120 think
00:20:18.360 I
00:20:18.520 might
00:20:18.700 even
00:20:18.860 extend
00:20:19.160 it
00:20:19.320 I'm
00:20:19.600 not
00:20:19.740 even
00:20:19.920 sure
00:20:20.180 I
00:20:20.360 want
00:20:20.660 our
00:20:20.900 friends
00:20:21.200 and
00:20:21.360 allies
00:20:21.700 to
00:20:21.900 have
00:20:22.160 them
00:20:22.300 in
00:20:22.400 a
00:20:22.520 perfect
00:20:22.820 world
00:20:23.320 we
00:20:24.020 would
00:20:24.220 be
00:20:24.380 the
00:20:24.580 only
00:20:24.800 country
00:20:25.320 with
00:20:26.200 these
00:20:26.400 massive
00:20:26.800 weapons
00:20:27.320 okay
00:20:28.720 all
00:20:35.860 80
00:20:36.000 years
00:20:36.520 you
00:20:36.760 know
00:20:36.900 75
00:20:37.360 the
00:20:38.360 the
00:20:38.700 nuclear
00:20:39.160 toothpaste
00:20:39.680 has
00:20:40.040 been
00:20:40.160 out
00:20:40.340 of
00:20:40.420 the
00:20:40.540 tube
00:20:40.780 so
00:20:41.180 it's
00:20:41.460 got
00:20:41.680 it
00:20:41.840 then
00:20:41.960 it's
00:20:42.240 expanded
00:20:42.620 elsewhere
00:20:43.060 you
00:20:43.420 know
00:20:43.560 India
00:20:44.060 Pakistan
00:20:44.860 North
00:20:45.820 Korea
00:20:46.340 France
00:20:47.680 Israel
00:20:48.580 South
00:20:49.220 Africa
00:20:50.840 for a
00:20:51.220 time
00:20:51.420 they all
00:20:52.260 had
00:20:52.500 nukes
00:20:52.880 and
00:20:53.160 to
00:20:53.580 me
00:20:53.840 the
00:20:54.060 big
00:20:54.400 problem
00:20:54.900 that
00:20:55.140 I
00:20:55.280 have
00:20:55.480 a
00:20:55.640 really
00:20:55.900 difficult
00:20:56.460 time
00:20:56.840 wrapping
00:20:57.180 my
00:20:57.480 head
00:20:57.680 around
00:20:58.020 is
00:20:58.900 how
00:20:59.160 do
00:20:59.300 you
00:20:59.460 solve
00:20:59.820 the
00:21:00.020 problem
00:21:00.420 we
00:21:00.660 created
00:21:01.120 with
00:21:01.380 Gaddafi
00:21:01.820 and
00:21:02.020 Libya
00:21:02.320 yes
00:21:03.760 that
00:21:04.020 country
00:21:04.400 that
00:21:04.920 country
00:21:05.180 gave
00:21:05.460 up
00:21:05.620 their
00:21:05.820 weapons
00:21:06.160 program
00:21:06.620 voluntarily
00:21:07.100 after
00:21:07.860 Iraq
00:21:08.320 you know
00:21:08.580 kind of
00:21:08.840 before
00:21:09.180 Iraq
00:21:09.640 became
00:21:09.960 an utter
00:21:10.240 debacle
00:21:10.740 and a
00:21:11.000 cautionary
00:21:11.440 tale
00:21:11.680 but
00:21:12.400 they
00:21:12.560 gave
00:21:12.760 up
00:21:12.900 their
00:21:13.060 weapons
00:21:13.500 in
00:21:13.940 the
00:21:14.080 US
00:21:14.560 and
00:21:14.800 NATO
00:21:15.140 and
00:21:15.460 our
00:21:15.620 allies
00:21:16.040 we
00:21:16.300 returned
00:21:16.760 the
00:21:17.000 favor
00:21:17.380 thanks
00:21:18.060 to
00:21:18.240 Hillary
00:21:18.480 and
00:21:18.640 Obama
00:21:18.980 by
00:21:19.860 overthrowing
00:21:20.520 Gaddafi
00:21:20.900 and
00:21:21.120 killing
00:21:21.380 him
00:21:21.600 and
00:21:22.100 I
00:21:22.240 think
00:21:22.460 what
00:21:22.660 that
00:21:22.860 communicated
00:21:23.540 to
00:21:23.800 every
00:21:24.140 leader
00:21:24.460 on
00:21:24.680 earth
00:21:24.920 good
00:21:25.200 or
00:21:25.340 bad
00:21:25.720 was
00:21:26.060 that
00:21:26.200 if
00:21:26.340 you
00:21:26.460 don't
00:21:26.740 want
00:21:26.880 to
00:21:26.960 ever
00:21:27.240 be
00:21:27.420 overthrown
00:21:28.060 you
00:21:28.620 have
00:21:28.860 to
00:21:28.980 have
00:21:29.160 nuclear
00:21:29.500 weapons
00:21:30.000 and
00:21:30.800 so
00:21:31.100 I
00:21:31.400 start
00:21:31.760 with
00:21:32.020 understanding
00:21:33.000 that
00:21:33.600 fact
00:21:34.180 what
00:21:34.880 is
00:21:35.060 the
00:21:35.280 best
00:21:35.760 most
00:21:36.080 effective
00:21:36.560 way
00:21:36.840 to
00:21:37.020 make
00:21:37.200 our
00:21:37.360 enemies
00:21:37.780 don't
00:21:39.580 get
00:21:39.860 nuclear
00:21:40.340 weapons
00:21:40.740 and
00:21:40.980 I'll
00:21:41.100 tell
00:21:41.280 you
00:21:41.400 I
00:21:41.860 don't
00:21:42.040 have
00:21:42.280 a
00:21:42.380 good
00:21:42.520 answer
00:21:42.900 because
00:21:43.440 we've
00:21:43.820 heard
00:21:44.040 for
00:21:44.240 40
00:21:44.700 years
00:21:45.060 that
00:21:45.280 Iran
00:21:45.540 is
00:21:45.680 on
00:21:45.760 the
00:21:45.860 verge
00:21:46.120 of
00:21:46.240 a
00:21:46.340 nook
00:21:46.480 they're
00:21:46.700 about
00:21:46.880 to
00:21:46.980 have
00:21:47.960 a
00:21:48.060 weapon
00:21:48.220 so
00:21:49.260 let's
00:21:49.620 assume
00:21:49.940 we
00:21:50.100 go
00:21:50.300 through
00:21:50.520 with
00:21:50.660 these
00:21:56.960 temporarily
00:21:57.360 gets
00:21:57.720 rid
00:21:57.980 of
00:21:58.140 a
00:21:58.280 mechanism
00:21:58.760 for
00:21:59.200 enriching
00:22:00.060 uranium
00:22:00.440 but
00:22:01.200 in
00:22:01.360 four
00:22:01.600 years
00:22:01.880 or
00:22:02.020 five
00:22:02.320 years
00:22:02.600 how
00:22:02.920 do
00:22:03.080 we
00:22:03.560 deal
00:22:03.780 with
00:22:03.980 that
00:22:04.200 I
00:22:04.420 don't
00:22:04.800 think
00:22:04.980 regime
00:22:05.340 change
00:22:05.740 is a
00:22:06.020 great
00:22:06.220 idea
00:22:06.500 because
00:22:06.700 we've
00:22:06.880 seen
00:22:07.020 how
00:22:07.200 well
00:22:07.360 that
00:22:07.600 works
00:22:07.920 turns
00:22:08.280 into
00:22:08.540 an
00:22:08.740 unmitigated
00:22:09.320 disaster
00:22:09.800 and
00:22:10.760 so
00:22:10.940 I
00:22:11.080 think
00:22:11.260 we
00:22:11.400 just
00:22:11.580 have
00:22:11.780 to
00:22:11.900 start
00:22:12.180 with
00:22:12.380 the
00:22:12.520 question
00:22:12.960 what
00:22:13.840 is
00:22:14.020 the
00:22:14.220 best
00:22:14.520 possible
00:22:15.020 way
00:22:15.420 to
00:22:15.820 incentivize
00:22:16.800 people
00:22:17.460 we
00:22:17.660 don't
00:22:17.860 like
00:22:18.100 and
00:22:18.220 don't
00:22:18.380 like
00:22:18.600 us
00:22:18.900 to
00:22:19.480 not
00:22:19.720 have
00:22:20.000 weapons
00:22:20.420 and
00:22:20.800 I
00:22:21.060 genuinely
00:22:21.500 don't
00:22:21.840 have
00:22:22.020 a
00:22:22.100 good
00:22:22.200 answer
00:22:22.460 to
00:22:22.680 it
00:22:22.820 you
00:22:24.100 know
00:22:24.220 what
00:22:24.380 I
00:22:24.540 keep
00:22:24.800 thinking
00:22:25.020 every
00:22:25.320 day
00:22:25.640 I
00:22:25.840 do
00:22:25.980 this
00:22:26.160 job
00:22:26.420 and
00:22:26.600 I
00:22:26.740 think
00:22:27.000 what
00:22:27.220 Reagan
00:22:27.720 said
00:22:28.060 when
00:22:28.260 I
00:22:28.380 was
00:22:48.900 of
00:22:49.040 the
00:22:49.160 past
00:22:49.600 but
00:22:50.280 I
00:22:50.420 don't
00:22:50.640 know
00:22:50.900 how
00:22:51.260 to
00:22:51.600 stop
00:22:52.100 this
00:22:52.400 now
00:22:52.920 you
00:22:54.400 know
00:22:54.620 regime
00:22:55.160 change
00:22:55.520 let me
00:22:55.720 just
00:22:55.880 take
00:22:56.080 that
00:22:56.260 one
00:22:56.500 regime
00:22:57.060 change
00:22:57.460 it
00:22:58.200 doesn't
00:22:58.540 work
00:22:58.780 I
00:22:58.940 loved
00:22:59.500 your
00:22:59.700 post
00:23:00.060 I
00:23:00.200 think
00:23:00.300 it
00:23:00.380 was
00:23:00.460 yesterday
00:23:00.960 yes

00:23:36.020 and
00:23:36.080 then
00:23:36.200 used
00:23:36.420 the
00:23:36.580 virus
00:23:36.960 made
00:23:38.120 they
00:23:38.380 made
00:23:38.680 to
00:23:38.880 steal
00:23:39.140 an
00:23:39.320 election
00:23:39.660 then
00:23:40.000 arrest
00:23:40.320 Trump
00:23:40.680 tried
00:23:40.940 to
00:23:41.100 bankrupt
00:23:41.380 him
00:23:41.700 tried
00:23:42.180 to
00:23:42.420 make
00:23:42.840 him
00:23:42.980 die
00:23:43.260 in
00:23:43.540 prison
00:23:43.900 and
00:23:44.200 then
00:23:44.500 when
00:23:44.980 they
00:23:45.120 failed
00:23:45.460 they
00:23:45.740 denied
00:23:46.040 him
00:23:46.220 adequate
00:23:46.540 security
00:23:47.120 leading
00:23:47.440 him
00:23:47.600 to be
00:23:47.840 shot
00:23:48.120 in the
00:23:48.360 head
00:23:48.620 yeah
00:23:49.060 they
00:23:49.240 did
00:23:49.640 all
00:23:49.980 of
00:23:50.160 those
00:23:50.440 things
00:23:50.900 the
00:23:51.840 drug
00:23:52.120 cartels
00:23:52.760 Iraq
00:23:53.180 Bosnia
00:23:53.720 in the
00:23:53.940 1990s
00:23:54.660 Iraq
00:23:54.960 and
00:23:55.080 Afghanistan
00:23:55.500 in the
00:23:55.820 2000s
00:23:56.440 still
00:23:56.640 Iraq
00:23:56.940 and
00:23:57.060 Afghanistan
00:23:57.480 in 2010
00:23:58.080 plus
00:23:58.720 Libya
00:23:59.120 the
00:23:59.600 whole
00:23:59.800 moronic
00:24:00.300 Arab
00:24:00.740 spring
00:24:01.200 thing
00:24:01.540 Ukraine
00:24:02.040 in the
00:24:02.420 2020s
00:24:03.100 these
00:24:03.620 were
00:24:03.760 all
00:24:03.960 disasters
00:24:09.320 one
00:24:09.420 of
00:24:09.520 those
00:24:09.680 things
00:24:09.980 every
00:24:10.700 single
00:24:11.200 one
00:24:11.460 of
00:24:11.620 those
00:24:11.840 things
00:24:12.140 so
00:24:13.580 how
00:24:13.860 do
00:24:14.000 we
00:24:14.120 make
00:24:14.320 a
00:24:14.440 decision
00:24:14.760 now
00:24:15.200 right
00:24:18.040 and
00:24:18.240 that's
00:24:18.780 why
00:24:19.020 I
00:24:19.180 think
00:24:19.320 it's
00:24:19.500 so
00:24:19.720 important
00:24:20.080 to
00:24:20.220 get
00:24:20.340 to
00:24:20.480 first
00:24:20.740 principles
00:24:21.220 which
00:24:22.080 is
00:24:22.400 understanding
00:24:23.660 our
00:24:23.860 limitations
00:24:24.400 understanding
00:24:25.400 history
00:24:26.060 understanding
00:24:27.080 how other
00:24:27.580 nations
00:24:27.980 view
00:24:28.220 things
00:24:28.500 one
00:24:28.700 thing
00:24:28.880 that's
00:24:29.100 driven
00:24:29.340 me
00:24:29.560 nuts
00:24:29.820 in
00:24:30.020 the
00:24:30.360 foreign
00:24:30.600 policy
00:24:31.000 debate
00:24:31.340 that
00:24:31.540 we've
00:24:31.740 had
00:24:31.900 in
00:24:31.980 this
00:24:32.080 country
00:24:32.320 for
00:24:32.580 20
00:24:33.460 30
00:24:33.740 years
00:24:34.080 that
00:24:34.300 there
00:24:34.440 seems
00:24:34.680 to
00:24:34.820 be
00:24:35.000 zero
00:24:35.660 desire
00:24:36.660 to
00:24:37.260 put
00:24:37.640 ourselves
00:24:38.060 in
00:24:38.260 the
00:24:38.380 position
00:24:38.800 of
00:24:38.980 our
00:24:39.120 adversaries
00:24:39.680 or
00:24:39.880 our
00:24:40.040 opponents
00:24:40.340 and
00:24:40.560 think
00:24:40.780 how
00:24:41.360 are
00:24:41.540 they
00:24:41.680 looking
00:24:42.000 at
00:24:42.200 things
00:24:42.560 you
00:24:43.120 know
00:24:43.200 some
00:24:43.420 people
00:24:43.740 if you
00:24:43.940 try
00:24:44.140 to
00:24:44.260 do
00:24:44.400 that
00:24:44.600 they'll
00:24:44.760 say
00:24:44.900 oh
00:24:45.140 well
00:24:45.300 you're
00:24:45.480 sympathizing
00:24:46.100 with
00:24:46.320 them
00:24:46.480 or
00:24:46.820 you're
00:24:47.360 appeasing
00:24:47.800 well
00:24:48.480 no
00:24:48.600 this
00:24:48.800 is
00:24:48.980 the
00:24:49.160 basic
00:24:50.080 stuff
00:24:50.520 for
00:24:50.700 negotiation
00:24:51.320 you're
00:24:51.840 playing chess
00:24:52.360 against
00:24:52.600 someone
00:24:52.980 you want
00:24:53.780 to
00:24:53.900 understand
00:24:54.360 what
00:24:54.560 they're
00:24:54.840 going
00:24:54.960 to
00:24:55.040 do
00:24:55.180 next
00:24:55.400 so
00:24:55.560 you
00:24:55.640 can
00:24:55.780 respond
00:24:56.180 to
00:24:56.400 it
00:24:56.580 and
00:24:57.120 we
00:24:57.380 just
00:24:57.600 never
00:24:57.900 do
00:24:58.140 that
00:24:58.420 and
00:24:58.620 I
00:24:58.860 guess
00:24:59.040 so
00:24:59.200 I
00:24:59.320 look
00:24:59.640 at
00:24:59.800 this
00:25:00.100 I
00:25:00.540 think
00:25:00.720 there's
00:25:00.940 probably
00:25:01.320 two
00:25:01.740 major
00:25:02.140 options
00:25:02.760 for
00:25:03.700 either
00:25:04.140 forestalling
00:25:05.040 or
00:25:05.520 preventing
00:25:06.100 a
00:25:06.340 particular
00:25:06.760 regime
00:25:07.100 from
00:25:07.320 getting
00:25:07.500 weapons
00:25:07.840 the
00:25:08.460 first
00:25:08.740 one
00:25:08.940 is
00:25:09.100 regime
00:25:09.440 change
00:25:09.940 in
00:25:10.520 the
00:25:10.660 short
00:25:10.900 term
00:25:11.180 you
00:25:11.340 can
00:25:11.480 tell
00:25:11.680 yourself
00:25:12.080 we're
00:25:12.340 going
00:25:12.420 to
00:25:12.460 overthrow
00:25:12.940 these
00:25:13.240 people
00:25:13.540 and
00:25:14.100 then
00:25:14.220 they
00:25:14.360 won't
00:25:14.520 want
00:25:14.720 nukes
00:25:14.960 anymore
00:25:15.240 because
00:25:15.480 we'll
00:25:15.660 put
00:25:15.840 our
00:25:15.980 friends
00:25:16.280 in
00:25:16.580 and
00:25:17.020 then
00:25:17.140 that'll
00:25:17.380 be
00:25:17.500 good
00:25:17.760 well
00:25:18.260 that's
00:25:18.460 been
00:25:27.380 so
00:25:27.680 personally
00:25:28.520 I
00:25:28.980 throw
00:25:29.320 regime
00:25:29.700 change
00:25:29.960 out
00:25:30.140 the
00:25:30.280 window
00:25:30.520 because
00:25:30.900 it
00:25:31.340 opens
00:25:31.920 up
00:25:32.140 Pandora's
00:25:32.660 box
00:25:32.980 of
00:25:33.380 just
00:25:33.620 insanity
00:25:34.120 as we've
00:25:34.580 seen
00:25:34.720 in the
00:25:34.960 Middle East
00:25:35.400 okay
00:25:36.380 hang on
00:25:36.700 just a
00:25:36.980 second
00:25:37.060 wait
00:25:37.980 wait
00:25:38.260 on
00:25:38.660 that
00:25:38.860 is
00:25:39.780 there
00:25:39.960 a
00:25:40.120 chance
00:25:40.560 that
00:25:41.160 you know
00:25:43.640 because
00:25:43.980 I never
00:25:44.440 saw it
00:25:44.900 I kept
00:25:45.140 saying
00:25:45.540 you know
00:25:45.880 when we
00:25:46.160 got into
00:25:46.460 war
00:25:46.700 in Iraq
00:25:47.160 and
00:25:47.440 Afghanistan
00:25:48.120 show me
00:25:49.140 the person
00:25:49.540 that's
00:25:50.020 you know
00:25:50.320 going to
00:25:50.560 have their
00:25:50.880 face
00:25:51.200 on the
00:25:51.480 stamp
00:25:51.780 show me
00:25:52.140 the person
00:25:52.480 that's
00:25:52.720 going to
00:25:52.840 have their
00:25:53.080 face
00:25:53.400 on the
00:25:53.640 money
00:25:53.820 I
00:25:54.020 never
00:25:54.400 saw
00:25:54.680 anybody
00:25:54.920 stand
00:25:55.400 up
00:25:55.700 and
00:25:56.180 say
00:25:56.440 we need
00:25:57.080 to be
00:25:57.320 free
00:25:57.580 and we're
00:25:57.920 going to
00:25:58.160 fight
00:25:58.420 for our
00:25:58.820 own
00:25:58.980 freedom
00:25:59.240 you do
00:26:00.220 have
00:26:00.500 those
00:26:00.780 people
00:26:01.200 that are
00:26:02.080 really
00:26:02.800 tired
00:26:03.220 of this
00:26:03.640 that are
00:26:03.940 much
00:26:04.400 more
00:26:04.660 western
00:26:05.160 I don't
00:26:06.320 want to
00:26:06.540 get
00:26:06.660 involved
00:26:07.020 in a
00:26:07.300 regime
00:26:07.780 change
00:26:08.280 and I
00:26:08.600 certainly
00:26:08.940 don't
00:26:09.180 want to
00:26:09.420 say
00:26:09.600 hey
00:26:09.840 we're
00:26:10.060 going to
00:26:10.240 help
00:26:10.400 you
00:26:10.520 pick
00:26:10.740 a
00:26:10.920 leader
00:26:11.200 but is
00:26:12.880 there
00:26:13.060 a
00:26:13.260 chance
00:26:13.800 that
00:26:14.100 this
00:26:14.500 time
00:26:14.840 it
00:26:15.040 is
00:26:15.360 different
00:26:15.740 or
00:26:16.100 is
00:26:16.240 that
00:26:16.360 wishful
00:26:17.280 stupid
00:26:17.660 thinking
00:26:18.140 you know
00:26:19.960 I
00:26:20.180 think
00:26:20.780 it's
00:26:20.960 probably
00:26:21.280 wishful
00:26:21.720 thinking
00:26:22.000 but I
00:26:22.600 don't
00:26:22.760 know
00:26:22.960 I'll
00:26:23.140 tell you
00:26:23.500 I have
00:26:23.900 a hard
00:26:24.200 enough
00:26:24.420 time
00:26:24.880 figuring
00:26:25.320 out
00:26:25.660 what's
00:26:25.900 going
00:26:26.120 on
00:26:26.440 politically
00:26:26.840 in my
00:26:27.220 own
00:26:27.380 country
00:26:27.700 think
00:26:28.340 about
00:26:28.520 all
00:26:28.740 the
00:26:28.800 time
00:26:29.040 we
00:26:29.200 spent
00:26:29.480 pouring
00:26:29.860 over
00:26:30.140 polls
00:26:30.600 over
00:26:30.880 every
00:26:31.160 election
00:26:31.580 and
00:26:31.880 talking
00:26:32.480 to
00:26:32.640 our
00:26:32.780 neighbors
00:26:33.040 this
00:26:33.600 is
00:26:33.740 a
00:26:33.860 country
00:26:34.120 we
00:26:34.320 were
00:26:34.480 born
00:26:34.800 in
00:26:34.980 we
00:26:35.360 understand
00:26:35.960 its
00:26:36.280 culture
00:26:36.780 without
00:26:37.280 even
00:26:37.560 thinking
00:26:37.880 about
00:26:38.120 it
00:26:38.220 we're
00:26:38.360 fluent
00:26:38.720 in
00:26:38.840 the
00:26:38.960 language
00:26:39.260 we can
00:26:39.580 talk
00:26:39.820 to
00:26:39.960 anyone
00:26:40.300 we
00:26:40.540 want
00:26:40.780 whenever
00:26:41.080 we
00:26:41.300 want
00:26:41.540 and
00:26:42.120 we
00:26:42.400 have
00:26:42.640 a
00:26:42.780 tough
00:26:42.980 time
00:26:43.380 figuring
00:26:43.820 out
00:26:44.160 what's
00:26:44.560 going
00:26:44.760 on
00:26:44.980 here
00:26:45.160 I
00:26:45.900 don't
00:26:46.140 have
00:26:46.360 a
00:26:46.540 clue
00:26:46.780 what's
00:26:47.060 happening
00:26:47.300 in
00:26:47.480 Iran
00:26:47.680 I
00:26:48.000 don't
00:26:48.200 speak
00:26:48.600 any
00:26:49.240 of
00:26:49.520 the
00:26:49.780 three
00:26:50.400 or
00:26:50.560 four
00:26:50.760 different
00:26:51.060 languages
00:26:51.460 over
00:26:51.920 there
00:26:52.200 I
00:26:53.080 don't
00:26:53.300 understand
00:26:53.620 the
00:26:53.800 culture
00:26:54.100 I've
00:26:54.980 never
00:26:55.220 been
00:26:55.440 there
00:26:55.720 I
00:26:56.200 don't
00:26:58.560 know
00:26:58.680 how
00:26:58.820 to
00:26:58.940 read
00:26:59.120 the
00:26:59.280 news
00:26:59.580 there
00:26:59.960 and
00:27:00.380 so
00:27:00.520 the
00:27:00.700 idea
00:27:01.020 that
00:27:01.220 I
00:27:01.440 or
00:27:01.580 really
00:27:01.780 any
00:27:01.980 other
00:27:02.220 Westerner
00:27:02.700 can
00:27:02.920 look
00:27:03.080 at
00:27:10.300 humble
00:27:10.560 about
00:27:10.880 your
00:27:11.080 ignorance
00:27:11.480 and
00:27:12.420 we
00:27:13.020 are
00:27:13.160 largely
00:27:13.500 ignorant
00:27:13.920 of
00:27:14.360 just
00:27:14.920 about
00:27:15.160 everything
00:27:15.480 happening
00:27:15.900 within
00:27:16.200 Iran
00:27:16.520 and
00:27:16.680 its
00:27:16.820 culture
00:27:17.120 and
00:27:17.280 its
00:27:17.400 people
00:27:17.680 I
00:27:18.820 have
00:27:19.540 to
00:27:19.760 say
00:27:19.960 I
00:27:20.100 think
00:27:20.240 you're
00:27:20.400 right
00:27:20.580 on
00:27:20.700 that
00:27:20.900 okay
00:27:21.200 so
00:27:21.540 that's
00:27:22.080 out
00:27:22.260 so
00:27:22.760 what's
00:27:22.980 the
00:27:23.100 next
00:27:23.280 thing
00:27:24.060 yeah
00:27:24.600 so
00:27:24.780 that
00:27:24.940 we've
00:27:25.640 kind
00:27:25.820 of
00:27:25.920 set
00:27:26.100 aside
00:27:26.420 regime
00:27:26.720 change
00:27:27.060 probably
00:27:27.460 not
00:27:27.860 a
00:27:28.100 great
00:27:28.320 idea
00:27:28.680 another
00:27:29.600 option
00:27:30.080 is
00:27:30.440 maybe
00:27:30.880 economic
00:27:31.540 incentives
00:27:32.000 yeah
00:27:32.440 we know
00:27:32.820 you don't
00:27:33.180 want
00:27:33.320 to be
00:27:33.520 overthrown
00:27:34.240 if
00:27:34.880 that's
00:27:35.120 going
00:27:35.240 to be
00:27:35.360 a
00:27:35.460 hard
00:27:35.680 incentive
00:27:36.020 to
00:27:36.260 overcome
00:27:36.620 so
00:27:36.940 you're
00:27:37.080 going
00:27:37.140 to
00:27:37.200 want
00:27:37.380 nukes
00:27:37.780 as
00:27:38.020 regime
00:27:39.180 change
00:27:39.580 insurance
00:27:40.000 maybe
00:27:40.860 we can
00:27:41.200 bribe
00:27:41.620 you
00:27:41.780 out
00:27:42.000 of
00:27:42.100 it
00:27:42.220 all
00:27:42.480 kinds
00:27:42.760 of
00:27:42.880 economic
00:27:43.340 assurances
00:27:43.960 and this
00:27:44.420 and that
00:27:44.780 the
00:27:45.160 problem
00:27:45.380 with
00:27:45.500 Iran
00:27:45.780 is
00:27:45.980 that
00:27:46.120 they're
00:27:46.260 sitting
00:27:46.540 on
00:27:46.720 oil
00:27:47.000 which
00:27:47.300 is
00:27:47.420 probably
00:27:47.660 the
00:27:47.840 most
00:27:48.000 precious
00:27:48.380 and
00:27:48.560 important
00:27:48.820 natural
00:27:49.160 resource
00:27:49.580 on
00:27:49.800 earth
00:27:50.020 I
00:27:50.880 don't
00:27:51.220 think
00:27:51.500 that
00:27:51.820 works
00:27:52.280 and
00:27:53.120 so
00:27:53.360 I
00:27:53.500 think
00:27:53.820 what
00:27:54.040 we're
00:27:54.260 left
00:27:54.580 with
00:27:54.980 is
00:27:55.660 probably
00:27:56.140 the
00:27:56.420 whack-a-mole
00:27:57.020 that's
00:27:57.260 been
00:27:57.400 going
00:27:57.660 on
00:27:57.940 for
00:27:58.140 years
00:27:58.560 and
00:27:59.560 I
00:27:59.720 think
00:27:59.980 the
00:28:00.180 nation
00:28:00.500 that's
00:28:00.740 probably
00:28:01.120 best
00:28:01.760 suited
00:28:02.360 to
00:28:02.680 deal
00:28:02.920 with
00:28:03.140 that
00:28:03.320 whack-a-mole
00:28:03.880 they're
00:28:04.400 the ones
00:28:04.820 at risk
00:28:05.320 Iran
00:28:06.040 can't
00:28:06.540 reach
00:28:06.760 us
00:28:07.000 here
00:28:07.180 in
00:28:07.260 the
00:28:07.360 US
00:28:07.560 they
00:28:07.760 don't
00:28:07.920 have
00:28:08.100 the
00:28:08.220 ballistic
00:28:08.800 missile
00:28:09.120 capability
00:28:09.700 they're
00:28:10.460 not
00:28:10.640 a
00:28:10.780 military
00:28:11.300 threat
00:28:11.780 to
00:28:11.980 us
00:28:12.220 they're
00:28:12.860 clearly
00:28:13.200 a
00:28:13.420 military
00:28:13.740 threat
00:28:14.260 to
00:28:14.560 our
00:28:14.820 friends
00:28:15.380 and
00:28:15.540 allies
00:28:15.800 in
00:28:15.980 the
00:28:16.060 Middle
00:28:16.200 East
00:28:16.480 and
00:28:17.280 so
00:28:17.520 I
00:28:17.940 think
00:28:18.200 the
00:28:18.440 least
00:28:18.800 worst
00:28:19.260 option
00:28:19.820 is
00:28:20.380 probably
00:28:20.800 Israel
00:28:21.340 doing
00:28:21.680 what
00:28:21.880 it
00:28:22.000 does
00:28:22.220 every
00:28:22.460 five
00:28:22.780 to
00:28:22.920 ten
00:28:23.120 years
00:28:23.480 and
00:28:23.800 going
00:28:24.060 and
00:28:24.340 trying
00:28:24.880 to
00:28:25.100 degrade
00:28:25.500 their
00:28:25.720 ability
00:28:26.120 to
00:28:26.460 mechanically
00:28:27.180 make
00:28:27.460 this
00:28:27.640 stuff
00:28:27.960 wait
00:28:29.060 to
00:28:29.200 see
00:28:29.340 what
00:28:29.480 happens
00:28:29.900 do
00:28:30.160 it
00:28:30.280 again
00:28:30.540 over
00:28:30.820 and
00:28:30.980 over
00:28:31.140 and
00:28:31.260 over
00:28:31.460 but
00:28:32.200 to
00:28:32.420 me
00:28:32.600 that's
00:28:32.920 a
00:28:33.060 regional
00:28:33.460 issue
00:28:34.160 and
00:28:34.640 yes
00:28:35.140 there
00:28:35.380 are
00:28:35.520 allies
00:28:35.920 and
00:28:36.180 yes
00:28:36.360 there
00:28:36.560 are
00:28:36.720 friends
00:28:37.140 but
00:28:37.520 it's
00:28:39.080 far
00:28:39.540 more
00:28:39.980 consequential
00:28:40.960 to
00:28:41.160 them
00:28:41.480 than
00:28:42.000 it
00:28:42.100 is
00:28:42.260 to
00:28:42.400 us
00:28:42.720 and
00:28:43.140 so
00:28:43.300 I
00:28:43.440 have
00:28:43.620 no
00:28:43.800 problem
00:28:44.100 with
00:28:44.300 them
00:28:44.480 doing
00:28:44.720 what
00:28:44.960 they
00:28:45.100 need
00:28:45.300 to
00:28:45.440 do
00:28:45.720 to
00:28:45.980 address
00:28:46.280 the
00:28:46.480 threats
00:28:46.720 to
00:28:46.880 them
00:28:47.140 so
00:28:48.820 I'm
00:28:49.140 with
00:28:49.380 you
00:28:49.500 100%
00:28:50.420 so
00:28:50.700 far
00:28:50.960 now
00:28:52.060 I'm
00:28:54.260 very
00:28:54.740 you know
00:28:55.620 we are
00:28:55.920 the only
00:28:56.260 ones
00:28:56.580 with the
00:28:56.840 bunker
00:28:57.060 buster
00:28:57.360 that
00:28:57.580 could
00:28:57.740 get
00:28:57.960 into
00:28:58.280 that
00:28:58.640 I
00:28:58.800 mean
00:28:58.900 I
00:28:59.080 think
00:28:59.340 that
00:28:59.500 what
00:28:59.640 does
00:28:59.740 that
00:28:59.860 go
00:28:59.960 down
00:29:00.160 12
00:29:00.520 stories
00:29:00.880 20
00:29:01.160 stories
00:29:01.500 20
00:29:01.900 stories
00:29:03.100 underground
00:29:03.680 can
00:29:04.360 destroy
00:29:05.380 anything
00:29:05.860 with a
00:29:06.240 20
00:29:06.720 story
00:29:07.180 footprint
00:29:08.000 underground
00:29:08.800 we're
00:29:09.660 the only
00:29:09.920 ones
00:29:10.140 that
00:29:10.240 have
00:29:10.440 it
00:29:10.560 it
00:29:10.740 has
00:29:10.980 to
00:29:11.100 be
00:29:11.240 dropped
00:29:11.520 from
00:29:11.740 one
00:29:11.900 of
00:29:12.020 our
00:29:12.240 planes
00:29:12.700 and
00:29:14.060 I'm
00:29:14.280 very
00:29:14.720 uncomfortable
00:29:15.200 with
00:29:15.620 that
00:29:15.860 very
00:29:16.400 uncomfortable
00:29:16.920 I
00:29:17.180 mean
00:29:17.520 you
00:29:18.100 know
00:29:18.200 what
00:29:18.340 you
00:29:18.480 want
00:29:18.620 to
00:29:18.700 buy
00:29:18.860 the
00:29:19.080 bunker
00:29:19.360 buster
00:29:19.640 I'll
00:29:19.900 sell
00:29:20.100 it
00:29:20.720 to
00:29:20.860 you
00:29:20.960 but
00:29:21.100 you
00:29:21.220 got
00:29:21.360 to
00:29:21.460 drop
00:29:21.740 it
00:29:21.940 once
00:29:22.760 we
00:29:22.940 put
00:29:23.100 that
00:29:23.280 on
00:29:23.420 our
00:29:23.620 plane
00:29:23.920 and
00:29:24.060 we
00:29:24.220 drop
00:29:24.520 it
00:29:24.680 aren't
00:29:25.200 we
00:29:25.660 then
00:29:26.060 part
00:29:27.760 of
00:29:27.860 the
00:29:28.100 war
00:29:28.660 right
00:29:31.040 and
00:29:31.240 like I
00:29:32.780 said
00:29:32.960 that
00:29:33.160 might
00:29:33.360 be
00:29:33.500 the
00:29:33.700 least
00:29:34.060 worst
00:29:34.400 option
00:29:34.800 to
00:29:34.940 the
00:29:35.080 extent
00:29:35.280 we
00:29:35.480 have
00:29:35.720 to
00:29:35.820 be
00:29:35.980 involved
00:29:36.480 but
00:29:37.120 I
00:29:37.380 think
00:29:37.820 when
00:29:38.360 it
00:29:38.460 comes
00:29:38.620 to
00:29:38.740 foreign
00:29:38.920 policy
00:29:39.240 I
00:29:39.380 think
00:29:39.520 a lot
00:29:39.780 about
00:29:39.980 what
00:29:40.160 Mike
00:29:40.400 Tyson
00:29:40.720 said
00:29:41.300 that
00:29:41.900 everyone
00:29:42.160 has
00:29:42.400 a
00:29:42.520 plan
00:29:42.740 until
00:29:42.980 they
00:29:43.080 get
00:29:43.200 punched
00:29:43.440 in
00:29:43.600 the
00:29:43.700 face
00:29:44.000 once
00:29:45.660 you
00:29:45.920 go
00:29:46.220 and
00:29:46.460 drop
00:29:46.840 a
00:29:47.020 bomb
00:29:47.260 on
00:29:47.460 someone
00:29:47.760 once
00:29:48.060 you
00:29:48.240 engage
00:29:48.720 in
00:29:49.080 offensive
00:29:49.800 military
00:29:50.660 capabilities
00:29:51.360 now
00:29:51.620 you
00:29:51.820 may
00:29:52.200 rhetorically
00:29:52.720 say
00:29:52.960 well
00:29:53.120 it's
00:29:53.280 preemptively
00:29:53.880 defensive
00:29:54.380 it's
00:29:55.140 an
00:29:55.440 offensive
00:29:55.800 move
00:29:56.060 whenever
00:29:56.280 you
00:29:56.440 bomb
00:29:56.620 another
00:29:56.860 country
00:29:57.260 you
00:29:58.140 are
00:29:58.340 creating
00:29:58.980 the
00:30:00.020 conditions
00:30:00.580 for
00:30:01.080 all
00:30:01.480 kinds
00:30:01.920 of
00:30:02.100 chaos
00:30:02.560 who
00:30:03.160 knows
00:30:03.520 how
00:30:03.700 they're
00:30:03.880 going
00:30:04.020 to
00:30:04.100 respond
00:30:04.580 maybe
00:30:05.380 they're
00:30:05.680 rational
00:30:06.160 they
00:30:06.400 understand
00:30:06.860 look
00:30:07.140 we're
00:30:07.320 just
00:30:07.460 going
00:30:07.580 to
00:30:07.620 have
00:30:07.760 to
00:30:07.880 take
00:30:08.080 this
00:30:08.240 one
00:30:08.400 on
00:30:08.520 the
00:30:08.660 chin
00:30:08.940 we
00:30:09.520 don't
00:30:09.660 want
00:30:09.820 to
00:30:09.920 fight
00:30:10.120 with
00:30:10.300 the
00:30:10.420 US
00:30:10.620 we
00:30:10.940 don't
00:30:11.060 want
00:30:11.180 to
00:30:11.240 fight
00:30:11.360 with
00:30:11.500 Israel
00:30:11.760 we're
00:30:11.940 just
00:30:12.100 going
00:30:12.220 to
00:30:12.280 deal
00:30:12.440 with
00:30:12.620 it
00:30:12.800 or
00:30:13.580 maybe
00:30:13.920 they
00:30:14.160 decide
00:30:14.740 hey
00:30:15.220 we
00:30:15.380 were
00:30:15.520 in
00:30:15.600 the
00:30:15.680 negotiations
00:30:16.520 and
00:30:16.940 we
00:30:17.340 thought
00:30:17.620 we
00:30:17.780 were
00:30:17.880 trying
00:30:18.140 to
00:30:18.280 get
00:30:28.980 it's
00:30:29.280 probably
00:30:29.680 less
00:30:30.120 likely
00:30:30.520 than
00:30:30.780 them
00:30:30.960 just
00:30:31.160 taking
00:30:31.460 it
00:30:31.640 but
00:30:31.800 it's
00:30:31.980 a
00:30:32.100 possibility
00:30:32.700 whenever
00:30:33.100 you
00:30:33.500 go
00:30:33.700 and
00:30:33.880 punch
00:30:34.100 someone
00:30:34.420 in
00:30:34.600 the
00:30:34.700 face
00:30:35.060 you
00:30:35.660 don't
00:30:35.820 have
00:30:36.020 to
00:30:36.220 deal
00:30:36.920 with
00:30:37.060 the
00:30:37.160 consequences
00:30:37.700 of
00:30:37.940 how
00:30:38.120 they're
00:30:38.380 going

00:32:01.140 up
00:32:01.280 to

00:32:02.340 2%
00:32:03.220 1.7
00:32:04.120 you know
00:32:05.960 he's doing
00:32:06.760 everything
00:32:07.060 that everybody
00:32:07.540 is saying
00:32:07.900 is going to
00:32:08.220 cause
00:32:08.420 economic
00:32:08.840 disaster
00:32:09.380 and yet
00:32:09.880 it
00:32:10.140 doesn't
00:32:10.620 look like
00:32:11.060 it's
00:32:11.340 actually
00:32:11.920 panning
00:32:12.880 out
00:32:13.300 we have
00:32:14.580 a
00:32:14.700 counselor
00:32:15.040 to
00:32:15.320 the
00:32:15.500 U.S.
00:32:15.820 Treasury
00:32:16.080 Secretary
00:32:16.740 Joseph
00:32:17.680 LaVorna
00:32:18.160 and he
00:32:19.700 is with
00:32:19.980 us now
00:32:20.420 Joe
00:32:21.040 how are
00:32:21.420 you
00:32:22.040 glad
00:32:22.940 I'm
00:32:23.140 great
00:32:23.360 that was
00:32:23.720 a great
00:32:24.220 great
00:32:24.760 summarization
00:32:25.620 well
00:32:26.840 I was
00:32:28.020 just
00:32:28.220 reading
00:32:28.480 the tweet
00:32:28.960 from
00:32:29.820 the
00:32:30.300 Treasury
00:32:30.700 Secretary
00:32:31.160 your boss
00:32:31.740 Scott
00:32:31.960 Besson
00:32:32.280 so
00:32:32.500 I'm
00:32:33.820 glad
00:32:34.060 that I
00:32:34.700 got it
00:32:34.980 right
00:32:35.260 this
00:32:36.500 is
00:32:37.320 remarkable
00:32:39.480 or
00:32:41.040 you know
00:32:41.420 I heard
00:32:41.660 somebody
00:32:41.960 describe
00:32:42.360 this
00:32:42.620 as
00:32:42.760 well
00:32:42.940 that's
00:32:43.140 just
00:32:43.320 propaganda
00:32:43.880 it
00:32:44.300 doesn't
00:32:44.760 seem
00:32:45.240 like
00:32:45.540 that
00:32:45.780 when
00:32:45.940 you
00:32:46.060 look
00:32:46.240 at
00:32:46.360 the
00:32:46.500 history
00:32:46.820 of
00:32:47.060 every
00:32:47.340 other
00:32:47.560 president
00:32:48.000 I
00:32:49.500 having
00:32:50.180 had
00:32:50.540 the
00:32:50.700 pleasure
00:32:50.980 of
00:32:51.260 serving
00:32:51.620 under
00:32:52.180 the
00:32:52.860 president
00:32:53.280 in 1.0
00:32:54.180 I knew
00:32:54.440 that we
00:32:55.160 had a
00:32:55.440 blue collar
00:32:55.880 wage
00:32:56.300 boom
00:32:56.720 following
00:32:57.940 passage
00:32:58.460 of the
00:32:58.760 Tax Cuts
00:32:59.260 and Jobs
00:32:59.660 Act
00:32:59.960 of 2017
00:33:00.660 so I
00:33:01.180 was just
00:33:01.560 curious
00:33:02.040 how have
00:33:03.520 we done
00:33:03.860 so far
00:33:04.360 because
00:33:04.580 the
00:33:04.740 sense
00:33:05.000 is
00:33:05.160 the
00:33:05.300 economy
00:33:05.600 actually
00:33:05.960 has
00:33:06.140 performed
00:33:06.500 very well
00:33:07.100 and certainly
00:33:07.720 much better
00:33:08.860 than the
00:33:09.260 naysayers
00:33:10.000 and
00:33:10.500 I was
00:33:11.420 actually
00:33:11.820 struck
00:33:12.400 by the
00:33:12.900 data
00:33:13.120 when I
00:33:13.520 saw it
00:33:14.000 but as
00:33:14.340 you said
00:33:14.860 it makes
00:33:15.300 complete
00:33:15.720 sense
00:33:16.140 given what
00:33:16.760 president
00:33:17.580 Trump
00:33:17.940 has wanted
00:33:18.440 to do
00:33:19.080 and what
00:33:20.020 secretary
00:33:20.600 Besson
00:33:21.060 has reinforced
00:33:21.700 and that
00:33:22.340 you know
00:33:22.580 we want
00:33:23.160 everybody
00:33:24.080 to do
00:33:24.460 well
00:33:24.680 but we
00:33:25.140 really
00:33:25.600 need
00:33:26.040 and
00:33:26.240 want
00:33:26.780 main
00:33:27.200 street
00:33:27.460 to do
00:33:27.860 well
00:33:28.080 and that's
00:33:28.420 what
00:33:28.540 happened
00:33:28.880 under
00:33:29.140 the
00:33:29.340 first
00:33:29.580 Trump
00:33:29.820 presidency
00:33:30.380 and
00:33:30.920 when
00:33:31.680 the
00:33:31.880 one
00:33:32.100 big
00:33:32.400 beautiful
00:33:32.840 bill
00:33:33.240 is
00:33:33.480 passed
00:33:33.900 which is
00:33:34.280 going
00:33:34.420 to codify
00:33:35.100 and
00:33:35.340 solidify
00:33:36.020 the permanency
00:33:37.280 of
00:33:37.940 pro-growth
00:33:38.520 business
00:33:39.000 related
00:33:39.580 tax cuts
00:33:41.320 that
00:33:41.600 incentivize
00:33:42.540 capital
00:33:43.360 deepening
00:33:43.860 and productivity
00:33:44.460 enhancement
00:33:45.040 then we
00:33:45.600 should
00:33:45.800 continue
00:33:46.260 to see
00:33:46.680 these
00:33:47.000 very
00:33:47.560 strong
00:33:47.960 gains
00:33:48.300 in
00:33:48.460 blue
00:33:48.660 collar
00:33:48.940 wages
00:33:49.380 so it's
00:33:49.760 a really
00:33:50.120 great
00:33:50.460 story
00:33:50.920 and
00:33:51.780 I
00:33:52.140 appreciate
00:33:52.500 you
00:33:52.700 having
00:33:52.920 me
00:33:53.160 on
00:33:53.400 so
00:33:53.600 that
00:33:53.740 we
00:33:53.860 can
00:33:53.980 at
00:33:54.080 least
00:33:54.200 talk
00:33:54.520 about
00:33:54.780 it
00:33:54.920 because
00:33:55.140 unfortunately
00:33:55.620 this
00:33:55.840 good
00:33:56.040 news
00:33:56.400 oftentimes
00:33:57.260 doesn't
00:33:57.720 get
00:33:57.900 reported
00:33:58.380 speak
00:34:00.360 to
00:34:00.580 somebody
00:34:00.960 who
00:34:01.220 don't
00:34:01.500 believe
00:34:01.780 the
00:34:01.980 talking
00:34:02.280 point
00:34:02.580 that
00:34:02.780 illegal
00:34:03.240 immigration
00:34:03.720 actually
00:34:04.200 suppressed
00:34:05.160 US
00:34:06.200 wages
00:34:06.920 well
00:34:08.600 it's
00:34:08.820 very
00:34:09.060 simple
00:34:09.560 I mean
00:34:09.960 what
00:34:10.180 you're
00:34:10.420 doing
00:34:10.740 is
00:34:11.000 if
00:34:11.200 you're
00:34:11.400 taking
00:34:11.920 if
00:34:12.320 a
00:34:12.540 worker
00:34:13.220 comes
00:34:13.660 in
00:34:13.960 illegally
00:34:14.560 that
00:34:15.880 allows
00:34:16.400 the
00:34:16.760 employer
00:34:17.200 to pay
00:34:17.840 he
00:34:18.660 he or
00:34:18.920 she
00:34:19.240 a
00:34:19.660 below
00:34:19.980 average
00:34:20.660 wage
00:34:20.980 rate
00:34:21.320 and
00:34:22.300 in
00:34:22.940 turn
00:34:23.300 that
00:34:23.680 resets
00:34:24.200 the
00:34:24.400 market
00:34:24.660 lower
00:34:24.960 for
00:34:25.140 everybody
00:34:25.500 else
00:34:25.960 put
00:34:26.580 another
00:34:26.860 way
00:34:27.320 if
00:34:28.100 a
00:34:28.660 firm
00:34:28.860 does
00:34:29.100 not
00:34:29.400 have
00:34:29.820 access
00:34:30.420 to
00:34:31.400 abundant
00:34:31.920 and we
00:34:32.360 can
00:34:32.480 even
00:34:32.640 call it
00:34:32.980 exploitative
00:34:33.580 labor
00:34:34.160 then
00:34:35.840 those
00:34:36.460 wages
00:34:36.780 economically
00:34:38.220 microeconomics
00:34:39.580 are such
00:34:39.960 you have
00:34:40.280 to pay
00:34:40.560 more
00:34:40.900 you know
00:34:42.020 you're
00:34:42.200 not
00:34:42.420 kind
00:34:42.680 of
00:34:42.900 flaunting
00:34:43.600 the
00:34:43.840 law
00:34:44.240 and
00:34:45.200 what
00:34:45.800 that
00:34:46.040 allows
00:34:46.480 then
00:34:46.820 is
00:34:47.000 for
00:34:47.200 wages
00:34:47.600 to be
00:34:48.140 naturally
00:34:48.620 higher
00:34:49.160 and
00:34:50.020 what
00:34:50.220 happens
00:34:50.620 is
00:34:50.940 workers
00:34:51.460 U.S.
00:34:52.120 workers
00:34:52.420 then get
00:34:52.860 paid
00:34:53.120 a
00:34:53.420 fair
00:34:54.420 actually
00:34:54.780 fair
00:34:55.120 when I
00:34:55.320 mean
00:34:55.460 fair
00:34:55.620 I mean
00:34:55.840 market
00:34:56.260 based
00:34:56.640 rate
00:34:57.040 it's
00:34:57.780 not
00:34:57.960 you know
00:34:58.780 there's
00:34:58.940 no
00:34:59.120 below
00:34:59.960 market
00:35:00.400 based
00:35:00.700 rate
00:35:01.020 so
00:35:01.360 the
00:35:02.240 economics
00:35:02.720 are
00:35:03.000 pretty
00:35:03.220 solid
00:35:03.620 and
00:35:03.800 Secretary
00:35:04.180 Besson
00:35:04.580 has
00:35:04.740 highlighted
00:35:05.100 that
00:35:05.400 and
00:35:05.600 you
00:35:05.840 should
00:35:06.060 see
00:35:06.340 over
00:35:06.580 time
00:35:07.060 with
00:35:07.680 this
00:35:07.960 flow
00:35:09.160 of
00:35:09.420 illegal
00:35:09.960 workers
00:35:10.880 coming
00:35:11.200 into
00:35:11.440 the
00:35:11.620 market
00:35:11.900 you
00:35:12.460 should
00:35:14.240 I
00:35:15.680 have
00:35:16.140 a
00:35:16.260 guest
00:35:16.440 on
00:35:16.660 in
00:35:16.820 a
00:35:16.920 little
00:35:17.040 while
00:35:17.280 there's
00:35:17.520 talking
00:35:17.780 about
00:35:18.180 the
00:35:18.420 migrant
00:35:22.420 workers
00:35:22.940 on
00:35:23.200 farms
00:35:23.680 and
00:35:23.920 that
00:35:24.140 we're
00:35:24.600 going
00:35:24.740 to
00:35:24.840 not
00:35:25.120 go
00:35:25.280 after
00:35:25.520 some
00:35:25.800 of
00:35:25.880 the
00:35:25.980 farmers
00:35:26.260 and
00:35:27.040 the
00:35:27.420 local
00:35:27.900 farms
00:35:28.340 and
00:35:28.620 the
00:35:28.820 small
00:35:29.260 family
00:35:30.040 farms
00:35:30.360 are
00:35:30.500 saying
00:35:30.680 no
00:35:30.860 that's
00:35:31.280 not
00:35:31.440 a
00:35:31.540 problem
00:35:31.760 that
00:35:32.000 is
00:35:32.160 a
00:35:32.280 problem
00:35:32.560 with
00:35:32.820 these
00:35:33.020 big
00:35:33.320 industrialized
00:35:34.140 farms
00:35:34.540 and
00:35:35.780 they're
00:35:36.180 trying
00:35:36.540 to
00:35:36.840 put
00:35:37.260 us
00:35:37.420 out
00:35:37.800 right
00:35:39.320 I
00:35:39.560 mean
00:35:39.720 the
00:35:39.900 president
00:35:41.560 talked
00:35:41.980 about
00:35:42.260 making
00:35:42.620 some
00:35:42.960 exceptions
00:35:43.460 I mean
00:35:44.100 and
00:35:44.200 again
00:35:44.420 but
00:35:44.640 like
00:35:44.920 this
00:35:45.100 take
00:35:45.340 to
00:35:45.820 my
00:35:45.980 understanding
00:35:46.480 Glenn
00:35:46.760 and
00:35:46.900 correct
00:35:47.100 me
00:35:47.240 if
00:35:47.360 I'm
00:35:47.520 wrong
00:35:47.820 but
00:35:48.000 in
00:35:48.100 the
00:35:48.180 case
00:35:48.400 of
00:35:48.540 California
00:35:49.080 you've
00:35:49.880 got
00:35:50.000 migrant
00:35:50.340 workers
00:35:50.680 seasonal
00:35:51.040 migrant
00:35:51.420 workers
00:35:51.740 who
00:35:51.880 come
00:35:52.060 in
00:35:52.200 but
00:35:52.320 it's
00:35:52.500 illegal
00:35:52.900 this
00:35:53.720 is
00:35:53.860 the
00:35:53.960 point
00:35:54.160 it's
00:35:54.360 legal
00:35:54.680 so
00:35:54.960 I
00:35:55.080 think
00:35:55.260 what
00:35:55.380 we
00:35:55.540 want
00:35:55.740 to
00:35:55.840 highlight
00:35:56.080 is
00:35:56.280 the
00:35:56.380 fact
00:35:56.640 there
00:35:56.760 have
00:35:56.840 been
00:35:56.980 millions
00:35:57.340 of
00:35:57.560 people
00:35:57.860 who've
00:35:58.080 come
00:35:58.280 in
00:35:58.580 illegally
00:35:59.560 and
00:36:00.560 that
00:36:00.860 cheap
00:36:01.280 source
00:36:01.880 of
00:36:02.220 illegal
00:36:02.640 labor
00:36:03.100 is
00:36:04.000 depressing
00:36:13.460 broader
00:36:14.280 deeper
00:36:14.660 issue
00:36:15.060 than
00:36:15.380 certain
00:36:16.020 select
00:36:16.480 areas
00:36:16.980 which
00:36:17.480 may
00:36:18.700 have
00:36:19.020 their
00:36:19.200 own
00:36:19.520 unique
00:36:20.460 microeconomic
00:36:22.020 issues
00:36:22.560 so we
00:36:23.700 have
00:36:23.980 a
00:36:24.380 wage
00:36:25.000 growth
00:36:25.340 for
00:36:25.760 blue
00:36:26.160 collar
00:36:26.380 workers
00:36:26.820 up
00:36:27.200 about
00:36:27.400 2%
00:36:27.980 almost
00:36:28.220 2%
00:36:28.860 biggest
00:36:29.740 in
00:36:30.260 60
00:36:30.840 years
00:36:31.240 and
00:36:32.680 bigger
00:36:32.960 than
00:36:33.280 he did
00:36:33.860 in the
00:36:34.220 first
00:36:34.460 term
00:36:34.780 what
00:36:38.400 does
00:36:38.660 that
00:36:38.860 tell
00:36:39.140 us
00:36:39.360 does
00:36:39.500 it
00:36:39.620 tell
00:36:39.780 us
00:36:39.940 anything
00:36:40.200 of
00:36:40.620 what
00:36:40.840 is
00:36:41.100 possibly
00:36:41.740 coming
00:36:42.300 because
00:36:43.300 people
00:36:43.600 are
00:36:43.760 still
00:36:43.960 feeling
00:36:44.340 the
00:36:44.520 bite
00:36:44.680 of
00:36:44.780 inflation
00:36:45.160 although
00:36:45.440 inflation
00:36:45.920 is
00:36:46.200 way
00:36:46.420 down
00:36:46.660 it's
00:36:46.860 not
00:36:47.020 down
00:36:47.320 it's
00:36:47.560 just
00:36:47.740 reduced
00:36:48.340 but
00:36:49.380 it
00:36:49.560 is
00:36:49.840 really
00:36:50.940 close
00:36:51.540 to
00:36:51.720 going
00:36:51.920 into
00:36:52.140 the
00:36:52.300 negative
00:36:52.580 territory
00:36:53.060 for
00:36:53.280 the
00:36:53.380 first
00:36:53.580 time
00:36:53.840 what
00:36:55.240 are
00:36:55.360 the
00:36:55.480 things
00:36:55.760 that
00:36:55.920 you
00:36:56.020 expect
00:36:56.420 to
00:36:56.660 see
00:36:56.860 that
00:36:57.120 might
00:36:57.680 signal
00:36:58.100 to
00:36:58.280 somebody
00:36:58.520 like
00:36:58.900 you
00:36:59.300 when
00:36:59.700 you
00:36:59.820 look
00:37:00.000 at
00:37:00.160 almost
00:37:00.560 2%
00:37:01.120 real
00:37:01.780 wages
00:37:02.180 growth
00:37:02.960 going
00:37:03.220 up
00:37:03.400 what
00:37:03.900 does
00:37:04.020 that
00:37:04.160 tell
00:37:04.340 you
00:37:04.540 is
00:37:04.700 coming
00:37:05.060 to
00:37:06.540 me
00:37:07.560 Glenn
00:37:08.000 this
00:37:08.320 just
00:37:13.300 real
00:37:15.600 world
00:37:15.940 know
00:37:16.320 how
00:37:16.740 because
00:37:17.200 of
00:37:17.320 his
00:37:17.480 business
00:37:17.860 acumen
00:37:18.280 the
00:37:18.500 president's
00:37:19.020 policies
00:37:19.540 where
00:37:20.440 he's
00:37:21.040 actually
00:37:21.480 accomplished
00:37:22.340 an
00:37:22.580 extraordinary
00:37:23.020 amount
00:37:23.800 in getting
00:37:24.440 prices
00:37:24.900 down
00:37:25.280 very
00:37:25.580 quickly
00:37:25.940 as
00:37:26.240 he
00:37:26.360 had
00:37:26.480 promised
00:37:26.940 now
00:37:27.700 when
00:37:28.420 the
00:37:28.680 bill
00:37:29.160 is
00:37:29.340 passed
00:37:29.660 the
00:37:29.800 one
00:37:29.960 big
00:37:30.180 beautiful
00:37:30.520 bill
00:37:30.820 is
00:37:31.000 passed
00:37:31.460 then
00:37:32.140 I'm
00:37:32.380 going
00:37:32.580 to
00:37:32.780 look
00:37:32.980 for
00:37:33.320 significant
00:37:34.400 capital
00:37:35.160 investment
00:37:35.720 companies
00:37:36.200 investing
00:37:36.740 in
00:37:36.960 plants
00:37:37.440 companies
00:37:37.980 investing
00:37:38.480 in
00:37:38.680 factories
00:37:39.040 and
00:37:41.300 that
00:37:41.440 means
00:37:41.700 they've
00:37:41.940 got to
00:37:42.220 employ
00:37:42.520 people
00:37:42.860 to
00:37:43.040 build
00:37:43.280 those
00:37:43.480 factories
00:37:43.900 it
00:37:44.120 means
00:37:44.280 you
00:37:44.420 have
00:37:44.580 to
00:37:44.720 employ
00:37:45.140 people
00:37:45.500 to
00:37:45.700 operate
00:37:46.200 the
00:37:46.420 machinery
00:37:46.880 to
00:37:47.560 use
00:37:47.900 the
00:37:48.080 capital
00:37:48.540 and
00:37:49.420 you
00:37:49.620 know
00:37:49.700 not
00:37:49.920 to
00:37:50.060 get
00:37:50.200 too
00:37:50.400 wonky
00:37:50.820 but
00:37:51.060 the
00:37:51.260 capital
00:37:51.640 labor
00:37:51.980 ratio
00:37:52.460 when
00:37:52.720 capital
00:37:53.160 rises
00:37:53.780 relative
00:37:54.220 to
00:37:54.460 labor
00:37:54.700 you're
00:37:54.900 able
00:37:55.060 to
00:37:55.260 pay
00:37:55.460 labor
00:37:55.760 more
00:37:56.020 money
00:37:56.340 so
00:37:57.160 that's
00:37:57.540 what
00:37:57.660 I'm
00:37:57.860 going
00:37:58.040 to
00:37:58.160 look
00:37:58.320 for
00:37:58.520 so
00:37:58.720 when
00:37:58.880 the
00:37:59.000 bill
00:37:59.180 is
00:37:59.340 passed
00:37:59.700 I
00:37:59.900 think
00:38:00.160 you're
00:38:00.320 going
00:38:00.420 to
00:38:00.520 see
00:38:00.700 a
00:38:01.160 continuation
00:38:01.720 of
00:38:02.720 very
00:38:03.000 strong
00:38:03.360 growth
00:38:03.700 which
00:38:03.880 right
00:38:04.120 now
00:38:04.340 according
00:38:04.680 to
00:38:04.860 the
00:38:04.980 widely
00:38:05.260 followed
00:38:05.800 Atlanta
00:38:06.660 Fed
00:38:06.960 GDP
00:38:07.260 number
00:38:07.780 is
00:38:08.000 going
00:38:08.520 to
00:38:08.740 grow
00:38:08.980 upwards
00:38:09.960 of
00:38:10.320 3.5%
00:38:10.880 in the
00:38:11.800 second
00:38:12.060 quarter
00:38:12.400 and
00:38:12.680 I
00:38:13.140 see
00:38:13.300 no
00:38:13.460 reason
00:38:13.760 Glenn
00:38:14.100 once
00:38:14.520 this
00:38:14.780 bill
00:38:15.020 is
00:38:15.200 passed
00:38:15.660 soon
00:38:16.100 that
00:38:17.000 it
00:38:17.340 just
00:38:17.740 removes
00:38:18.140 any
00:38:18.440 lingering
00:38:18.880 uncertainty
00:38:19.500 on tax
00:38:20.060 policy
00:38:20.520 because
00:38:20.720 absent
00:38:21.040 passage
00:38:21.480 of
00:38:21.640 the
00:38:21.760 bill
00:38:21.980 there
00:38:22.620 would
00:38:22.740 be
00:38:22.840 a
00:38:23.000 record
00:38:23.220 large
00:38:23.540 tax
00:38:23.880 increase
00:38:24.280 which
00:38:24.520 would
00:38:24.700 decimate
00:38:25.060 the
00:38:25.280 economy
00:38:25.620 next
00:38:25.960 year
00:38:26.140 so
00:38:26.380 that
00:38:26.980 certainty
00:38:27.360 that
00:38:27.620 we're
00:38:27.760 finally
00:38:28.100 going
00:38:28.400 to
00:38:28.580 make
00:38:28.880 permanent
00:38:29.300 President
00:38:30.240 Trump's
00:38:30.660 policies
00:38:31.120 will
00:38:31.700 be a
00:38:32.180 boon
00:38:32.440 to
00:38:32.640 the
00:38:32.840 average
00:38:33.380 blue
00:38:34.260 collar
00:38:34.560 worker
00:38:35.040 so
00:38:36.420 I
00:38:36.660 don't
00:38:36.820 like
00:38:37.020 a lot
00:38:37.260 of
00:38:37.340 the
00:38:37.460 things
00:38:37.680 in
00:38:37.820 the
00:38:37.920 big
00:38:38.060 beautiful
00:38:38.360 bill
00:38:38.620 but
00:38:38.800 I
00:38:38.980 love
00:38:39.340 a lot
00:38:39.640 of
00:38:39.760 things
00:38:40.000 in
00:38:40.160 the
00:38:40.260 big
00:38:40.400 beautiful
00:38:40.720 bill
00:38:41.040 it
00:38:42.000 seems
00:38:42.220 like
00:38:42.380 we're
00:38:42.480 getting
00:38:42.680 a
00:38:43.120 little
00:38:43.780 teaspoon
00:38:45.240 of
00:38:45.660 everything
00:38:46.420 in
00:38:46.820 this
00:38:47.000 thing
00:38:47.240 however
00:38:48.280 I
00:38:48.580 think
00:38:48.800 the
00:38:49.140 way
00:38:50.180 I
00:38:50.500 look
00:38:50.820 at
00:38:50.960 it
00:38:51.120 at
00:38:51.360 least
00:38:51.660 currently
00:38:52.200 the
00:38:52.840 good
00:38:53.100 stuff
00:38:53.480 outweighs
00:38:54.040 the
00:38:54.220 bad
00:38:54.500 stuff
00:38:54.800 in
00:38:54.960 it
00:38:55.060 by
00:38:59.300 this
00:38:59.460 bill
00:38:59.740 I
00:38:59.980 mean
00:39:00.180 now
00:39:00.560 it's
00:39:00.700 going
00:39:00.860 back
00:39:01.060 to
00:39:01.220 Congress
00:39:01.540 and
00:39:01.740 Congress
00:39:02.040 is
00:39:02.240 saying
00:39:02.420 it's
00:39:02.620 dead
00:39:02.860 on
00:39:03.000 arrival
00:39:03.420 yes
00:39:04.760 so
00:39:05.600 yeah
00:39:06.080 I
00:39:06.200 mean
00:39:06.380 the
00:39:07.060 alternative
00:39:08.980 to the
00:39:09.800 bill
00:39:10.040 would be
00:39:10.460 just
00:39:10.700 horrendous
00:39:11.320 and
00:39:11.540 I
00:39:11.680 love
00:39:12.200 the
00:39:12.360 fact
00:39:12.640 that
00:39:12.960 they're
00:39:13.280 expanding
00:39:14.240 the
00:39:14.720 credit
00:39:15.480 for
00:39:15.740 investment
00:39:16.140 to
00:39:16.420 include
00:39:16.780 new
00:39:17.300 factories
00:39:18.060 I
00:39:18.260 think
00:39:18.420 that
00:39:18.600 is
00:39:18.740 just
00:39:18.900 great
00:39:19.240 the
00:39:20.120 bill
00:39:20.400 will
00:39:20.720 go
00:39:20.980 through
00:39:21.340 and
00:39:21.880 I'm
00:39:22.900 optimistic
00:39:23.300 that I'm
00:39:24.060 an
00:39:24.140 optimist
00:39:24.540 Joe
00:39:25.720 explain
00:39:26.120 what
00:39:26.320 you
00:39:26.460 mean
00:39:26.680 by
00:39:26.940 it
00:39:27.140 would
00:39:27.280 be
00:39:27.440 disastrous
00:39:27.940 because
00:39:28.300 this
00:39:28.480 is
00:39:28.600 what
00:39:28.740 I
00:39:28.860 keep
00:39:29.040 coming
00:39:29.300 back
00:39:29.640 to
00:39:29.900 on
00:39:30.180 this
00:39:30.460 if
00:39:30.700 this
00:39:30.940 doesn't
00:39:31.340 pass
00:39:31.940 right
00:39:33.340 if
00:39:33.580 it
00:39:33.720 doesn't
00:39:34.080 pass
00:39:34.540 Glenn
00:39:34.880 we're
00:39:35.160 going
00:39:35.380 to
00:39:35.560 have
00:39:35.900 the
00:39:36.140 largest
00:39:36.620 tax
00:39:37.260 increase
00:39:37.780 in
00:39:38.020 U.S.
00:39:38.460 history
00:39:38.800 which
00:39:39.780 would
00:39:40.080 meaningfully
00:39:40.760 depress
00:39:41.420 all the
00:39:42.280 things
00:39:42.600 that we
00:39:42.960 want
00:39:43.240 more
00:39:43.580 of
00:39:43.840 that
00:39:44.080 will
00:39:44.260 help
00:39:44.500 drive
00:39:45.060 a
00:39:45.600 continuation
00:39:46.120 of
00:39:46.460 the
00:39:46.520 blue
00:39:46.680 collar
00:39:46.920 boom
00:39:47.200 in
00:39:47.340 other
00:39:47.480 words
00:39:47.640 you're
00:39:47.800 going
00:39:47.940 to
00:39:48.040 have
00:39:48.200 significant
00:39:48.680 weakness
00:39:49.200 in
00:39:50.140 capital
00:39:50.780 spending
00:39:51.260 capital
00:39:51.700 investment
00:39:52.240 that
00:39:53.140 is
00:39:53.560 the
00:39:53.780 basis
00:39:54.220 for
00:39:55.380 all
00:39:55.740 productivity
00:39:56.280 gains
00:39:56.720 it's
00:39:57.100 the
00:39:57.380 ingenuity
00:39:58.100 and
00:39:58.460 investment
00:39:58.900 that
00:39:59.160 companies
00:39:59.580 are
00:39:59.760 making
00:40:00.200 in
00:40:00.460 cutting
00:40:00.720 edge
00:40:00.960 technologies
00:40:01.740 and
00:40:01.960 capital
00:40:02.340 which
00:40:02.580 needs
00:40:02.780 to
00:40:02.900 be
00:40:03.040 replaced
00:40:03.480 because
00:40:03.780 it
00:40:03.920 gets
00:40:04.100 depleted
00:40:04.620 it
00:40:05.760 allows
00:40:06.140 the
00:40:06.360 economy
00:40:06.720 to
00:40:06.940 grow
00:40:07.140 at a
00:40:07.360 faster
00:40:07.760 pace
00:40:09.140 and
00:40:10.120 if
00:40:10.460 we
00:40:10.760 don't
00:40:11.880 pass
00:40:12.200 the
00:40:12.380 bill
00:40:12.580 all
00:40:12.920 that
00:40:13.160 expensing
00:40:13.820 goes
00:40:14.220 by the
00:40:14.580 wayside
00:40:15.120 marginal
00:40:16.000 rates
00:40:16.460 on
00:40:17.200 capital
00:40:17.660 and
00:40:17.900 labor
00:40:18.220 rise
00:40:18.660 tremendously
00:40:19.260 corporate
00:40:19.780 tax
00:40:20.380 rates
00:40:20.720 increase
00:40:21.320 significantly
00:40:21.960 small
00:40:23.320 businesses
00:40:23.680 that
00:40:23.940 pay
00:40:24.140 those
00:40:24.380 marginal
00:40:24.780 rates
00:40:25.100 would
00:40:25.340 massively
00:40:25.920 suffer
00:40:26.420 I
00:40:27.360 mean
00:40:27.560 it's
00:40:27.760 just
00:40:27.940 a
00:40:28.520 very
00:40:30.400 bad
00:40:30.720 situation
00:40:31.240 if
00:40:31.440 we
00:40:31.540 want
00:40:31.720 to
00:40:31.800 go
00:40:31.900 back
00:40:32.200 to
00:40:32.440 a
00:40:32.720 high
00:40:33.200 tax
00:40:33.620 high
00:40:33.860 regulatory
00:40:34.200 environment
00:40:34.880 as we
00:40:35.880 had
00:40:36.060 in the
00:40:36.260 Obama
00:40:36.560 years
00:40:36.920 when
00:40:37.120 the
00:40:37.260 economy
00:40:37.600 was
00:40:37.900 growing
00:40:38.180 well
00:40:38.420 under
00:40:38.620 2%
00:40:39.260 then
00:40:39.660 that's
00:40:39.980 the
00:40:40.200 path
00:40:40.460 we're
00:40:40.620 going
00:40:40.720 to
00:40:40.800 go
00:40:40.960 down
00:40:41.200 and
00:40:41.340 I
00:40:41.460 don't
00:40:41.640 see
00:40:41.840 that
00:40:42.080 as
00:40:42.260 being
00:40:42.520 a
00:40:42.680 very
00:40:42.980 economically
00:40:44.300 productive
00:40:45.140 way
00:40:45.480 to
00:40:45.620 go
00:40:45.900 so
00:40:46.900 do
00:40:47.080 you
00:40:47.220 understand
00:40:47.760 why
00:40:48.200 some
00:40:48.560 people
00:40:48.800 are
00:40:49.000 standing
00:40:49.380 against
00:40:49.800 it
00:40:50.000 and
00:40:50.180 saying
00:40:50.520 there's
00:40:51.240 not
00:40:51.440 enough
00:40:51.720 cuts
00:40:52.060 in
00:40:52.240 this
00:40:52.520 because
00:40:52.740 they're
00:40:52.900 concerned
00:40:53.320 about
00:40:53.620 the
00:40:53.900 value
00:40:54.440 of
00:40:54.660 the
00:40:54.820 dollar
00:40:55.160 of
00:40:56.180 just
00:40:56.540 spending
00:40:58.420 ourselves
00:40:58.860 into
00:40:59.140 oblivion
00:40:59.840 do you
00:41:00.560 at least
00:41:00.880 understand
00:41:01.840 that
00:41:02.240 argument
00:41:03.200 yes
00:41:05.020 I
00:41:05.340 would
00:41:05.600 say
00:41:05.940 that
00:41:06.260 this
00:41:06.560 is
00:41:06.820 a
00:41:07.020 very
00:41:07.380 very
00:41:07.800 good
00:41:08.180 bill
00:41:08.600 and
00:41:08.980 that
00:41:09.220 should
00:41:09.400 not
00:41:09.620 be
00:41:09.760 the
00:41:09.920 enemy
00:41:10.160 of
00:41:10.400 perfect
00:41:10.840 in
00:41:11.220 a
00:41:11.420 perfect
00:41:12.260 world
00:41:12.620 sure
00:41:12.860 there
00:41:13.040 would
00:41:13.200 be
00:41:13.480 even
00:41:14.440 more
00:41:14.740 spending
00:41:15.140 cuts
00:41:15.480 but
00:41:15.720 this
00:41:16.040 bill
00:41:16.300 is
00:41:16.480 not
00:41:16.720 designed
00:41:17.340 to
00:41:18.360 address
00:41:19.320 some
00:41:20.160 of
00:41:20.280 the
00:41:20.380 areas
00:41:20.780 where
00:41:21.220 some
00:41:22.160 people
00:41:22.400 would
00:41:22.580 like
00:41:22.780 lower
00:41:23.020 spending
00:41:23.440 we're
00:41:24.220 certainly
00:41:24.620 not
00:41:25.220 going
00:41:25.560 to
00:41:25.820 cut
00:41:26.120 our
00:41:26.300 way
00:41:26.540 to
00:41:26.720 prosperity
00:41:27.340 we
00:41:28.040 need
00:41:28.240 to
00:41:28.380 grow
00:41:28.660 our
00:41:28.900 way
00:41:29.260 to
00:41:29.760 prosperity
00:41:30.300 and
00:41:30.520 one
00:41:30.660 of
00:41:30.760 things
00:41:31.040 I
00:41:31.220 would
00:41:31.380 meaningfully
00:41:31.880 push
00:41:32.160 back
00:41:32.480 against
00:41:32.720 some
00:41:32.860 of
00:41:32.940 the
00:41:33.000 people
00:41:33.200 understandably
00:41:34.100 are worried
00:41:34.520 about
00:41:34.720 long-term
00:41:35.140 debt
00:41:35.380 is that
00:41:35.700 look
00:41:35.900 what
00:41:36.860 assumptions
00:41:37.440 are we
00:41:37.960 making
00:41:38.280 on
00:41:38.540 growth
00:41:38.940 because
00:41:39.240 if
00:41:39.600 we're
00:41:39.880 assuming
00:41:40.280 1.8%
00:41:41.520 real GDP
00:41:42.060 growth
00:41:42.600 as the
00:41:43.620 official
00:41:44.000 arbiter
00:41:44.480 is
00:41:44.840 assuming
00:41:45.240 then
00:41:46.060 yeah
00:41:46.320 revenues
00:41:46.660 aren't
00:41:47.020 going
00:41:47.240 to be
00:41:47.500 that
00:41:47.780 great
00:41:48.220 and
00:41:48.520 deficits
00:41:48.860 could
00:41:49.140 be
00:41:49.400 as
00:41:49.620 large
00:41:49.880 as
00:41:50.020 they
00:41:50.160 say
00:41:50.360 but
00:41:50.580 if
00:41:50.740 we're
00:41:50.900 going
00:41:51.100 to
00:41:51.260 assume
00:41:51.600 more
00:41:52.340 Trumpian
00:41:52.860 type
00:41:53.140 growth
00:41:53.520 of
00:41:53.680 say
00:41:53.880 3%
00:41:54.480 which
00:41:54.940 is
00:41:55.160 much
00:41:55.660 more
00:41:55.920 consistent
00:41:56.360 with
00:41:56.720 the
00:41:57.380 first
00:41:57.660 presidential
00:41:58.720 term
00:41:59.100 of
00:41:59.300 Donald
00:41:59.580 Trump
00:41:59.900 and
00:42:00.580 what
00:42:00.940 this
00:42:01.220 bill
00:42:01.420 has
00:42:01.700 that
00:42:01.860 will
00:42:02.040 allow
00:42:02.320 us
00:42:02.560 to
00:42:02.700 grow
00:42:02.940 at
00:42:03.100 3%
00:42:03.740 or
00:42:03.940 faster
00:42:04.360 we're
00:42:04.980 going
00:42:05.140 to
00:42:05.280 get
00:42:05.400 much
00:42:05.640 better
00:42:06.000 revenues
00:42:06.620 so
00:42:07.420 I
00:42:07.820 would
00:42:08.000 focus
00:42:08.340 on
00:42:08.880 all
00:42:09.160 the
00:42:09.320 positives
00:42:09.860 and
00:42:10.380 then
00:42:10.620 we
00:42:11.180 can
00:42:11.300 go
00:42:11.400 back
00:42:11.640 at
00:42:11.780 some
00:42:11.940 point
00:42:12.180 to
00:42:12.340 address
00:42:12.520 some
00:42:12.860 of
00:42:12.980 the
00:42:13.120 others
00:42:13.440 but
00:42:14.020 the
00:42:14.200 alternative
00:42:14.600 is
00:42:14.960 just
00:42:15.300 horrendous
00:42:16.340 and
00:42:16.760 that's
00:42:17.860 where
00:42:17.960 the
00:42:18.080 pushback
00:42:18.520 needs
00:42:18.760 to
00:42:18.900 be
00:42:19.080 in
00:42:19.220 addition
00:42:19.480 to
00:42:19.640 the
00:42:19.720 fact
00:42:19.920 that
00:42:20.080 again
00:42:20.280 the
00:42:20.820 deficit
00:42:22.040 assumptions
00:42:22.540 to me
00:42:23.040 are
00:42:23.180 too
00:42:23.420 pessimistic
00:42:24.040 because
00:42:24.440 they're
00:42:25.300 woefully
00:42:25.800 downbeat
00:42:26.480 on how
00:42:27.080 the economy
00:42:27.560 is likely
00:42:27.880 to perform
00:42:28.320 over the
00:42:28.620 next
00:42:28.800 decade
00:42:29.180 let me
00:42:30.680 ask you
00:42:30.960 a final
00:42:31.200 question
00:42:31.540 about
00:42:32.060 interest
00:42:32.440 rates
00:42:32.800 the
00:42:33.480 Fed
00:42:33.840 is
00:42:34.660 the
00:42:34.800 Fed
00:42:35.000 going
00:42:35.200 to
00:42:35.320 lower
00:42:35.520 interest
00:42:35.940 rates
00:42:36.280 should
00:42:36.980 they
00:42:37.280 lower
00:42:37.900 interest
00:42:38.300 rates
00:42:38.700 Glenn
00:42:40.740 I'm
00:42:40.940 not at
00:42:41.260 liberty
00:42:41.540 to
00:42:41.880 discuss
00:42:42.540 the
00:42:42.880 monetary
00:42:43.720 policy
00:42:44.260 but I
00:42:44.600 have
00:42:44.840 to
00:42:45.000 think
00:42:45.280 that
00:42:45.580 Chair
00:42:45.940 Powell
00:42:46.340 and
00:42:47.100 his
00:42:47.280 colleagues
00:42:47.800 have
00:42:48.720 to
00:42:48.880 like
00:42:49.080 this
00:42:49.320 inflation
00:42:49.740 news
00:42:50.180 I
00:42:50.420 mean
00:42:50.580 it
00:42:50.700 is
00:42:50.860 remarkable
00:42:51.340 how
00:42:51.900 the
00:42:52.700 consensus
00:42:53.180 of
00:42:53.540 professional
00:42:53.980 forecasters
00:42:54.800 got
00:42:55.180 the
00:42:55.800 inflation
00:42:56.200 data
00:42:56.520 wrong
00:42:57.040 virtually
00:42:57.640 all the
00:42:58.140 series
00:42:58.440 for
00:42:58.660 three
00:42:58.880 months
00:42:59.120 in a
00:42:59.400 row
00:42:59.700 and
00:43:00.520 I've
00:43:00.720 got to
00:43:00.980 think
00:43:01.240 the
00:43:01.440 Fed
00:43:01.660 has
00:43:01.900 to
00:43:02.080 like
00:43:02.300 the
00:43:02.460 fact
00:43:02.680 that
00:43:02.880 inflation
00:43:03.260 is
00:43:03.480 moving
00:43:03.720 down
00:43:04.160 because
00:43:04.840 of
00:43:05.100 President
00:43:05.420 Trump's
00:43:05.840 policies
00:43:06.360 so
00:43:07.260 we'll
00:43:07.460 see
00:43:07.620 what
00:43:07.760 happens
00:43:08.100 going
00:43:08.380 forward
00:43:08.740 but
00:43:08.920 that's
00:43:09.360 good
00:43:09.820 news
00:43:10.180 I
00:43:11.780 can't
00:43:12.060 thank you
00:43:12.300 enough
00:43:12.580 for
00:43:12.980 everything
00:43:13.400 that
00:43:13.600 you
00:43:13.680 guys
00:43:13.860 are
00:43:13.960 doing
00:43:14.080 I
00:43:23.260 I
00:43:23.340 I'm
00:43:23.360 very
00:43:23.580 lucky
00:43:23.920 and
00:43:24.100 it's
00:43:24.260 an
00:43:24.380 honor
00:43:24.600 Glenn
00:43:24.900 and
00:43:25.100 thank
00:43:25.460 you
00:43:25.640 for
00:43:25.800 having
00:43:26.200 me
00:43:26.380 on
00:43:26.580 your
00:43:26.740 show
00:43:27.060 you
00:43:27.840 bet
00:43:28.100 thanks
00:43:28.400 Joe
00:43:28.580 I
00:43:28.680 appreciate
00:43:28.940 it
00:43:29.220 Joe
00:43:29.400 is
00:43:29.520 counselor
00:43:29.820 to
00:43:30.020 the
00:43:30.200 U.S.
00:43:30.500 Treasury
00:43:30.700 secretary
00:43:31.240 is
00:43:31.560 Joe
00:43:32.240 Lavornia
00:43:33.360 and
00:43:34.780 we
00:43:35.440 appreciate
00:43:35.720 him
00:43:35.880 coming
00:43:36.040 on
00:43:36.220 the
00:43:36.340 program
00:43:36.660 I
00:43:36.960 think
00:43:37.140 that
00:43:37.300 is
00:43:37.440 really
00:43:37.680 good
00:43:37.900 news
00:43:38.220 you
00:43:38.760 know
00:43:38.880 people
00:43:39.240 are
00:43:39.420 down
00:43:39.720 playing
00:43:40.000 that
00:43:40.220 but
00:43:40.360 you
00:43:40.520 know
00:43:40.800 it
00:43:42.380 hasn't
00:43:42.620 been
00:43:42.800 done
00:43:43.160 except
00:43:43.900 in
00:43:44.200 his
00:43:44.380 last
00:43:44.760 term
00:43:45.200 since
00:43:45.640 the
00:43:45.880 1960s
00:43:47.180 if
00:43:47.900 it's
00:43:48.080 no
00:43:48.340 big
00:43:48.580 deal
00:43:48.880 then
00:43:49.080 why
00:43:49.320 hasn't
00:43:49.760 every
00:43:50.120 president
00:43:50.540 had
00:43:51.560 this
00:43:51.880 result
