00:05:38.500
talking about and i had to check see if this was a april fool's joke but it's not they're they're
00:05:43.580
passing a new bill now where insurance companies have got to pay out if you put a claim in okay
00:05:52.020
all right good and they can't wait they can't hold you back they can't hang on just a second they can't
00:05:59.740
they can't hold back if you have the claim they can't hold back okay good that's what you might
00:06:06.140
be thinking good and it is good if you're really sick and you need something that's good but have
00:06:12.740
you seen the scams that are happening in our country right now not everybody now i say that
00:06:20.780
and i have to say at the same time have you seen the insurance companies lately some of them just like
00:06:25.560
to screw you to the wall so what is the answer well let me tell you the tale of two stories one is
00:06:33.420
how a lot of people see the insurance company they imagine the insurance company as a giant grumpy
00:06:39.520
dragon that is sitting on a pile of gold just waiting there i'm a dread we gotta have the i'm a
00:06:45.320
dragon i like gold i'm not gonna let anybody have my gold okay and you're the brave you're the brave
00:06:53.020
knight why won't this go away you're the brave knight i thought of the rest of the day i'm gonna
00:06:57.440
be doing the show in a cave you're the brave knight who's been paying this dragon monthly a tribute every
00:07:03.220
month and the dragon said you know i'm gonna take care of you and then when a disaster happens you go
00:07:10.980
to the dragon and he's supposed to swoop in and save you with all of the gold sounds like a great deal
00:07:17.060
right but here's the catch dragons like gold so when you come running and screaming hey i need help
00:07:24.780
my house is burned down the dragon's like yeah i said i i set it on fire of course i'm fire breathing
00:07:31.000
dragon i set it on fire and i'm not going to pay for anything either is the dragon the only one in
00:07:35.160
the cave he's the only one in the cave yeah speaking i don't know why he could fly outside the cave i don't
00:07:39.180
know why you can fly to the guy and still be in the cave but he's a big dragon okay big dragon okay
00:07:42.900
uh so he's like i'm not really sure that that was actually a fire well i'm not sure that was a fire
00:07:50.580
you know did you fill out form 37b in triplicate and i'm going to need six weeks to think about it
00:07:56.240
while i sit on my pile of gold that's the way most people think of insurance companies that they're
00:08:01.460
sitting on a pile of gold and uh they're never going to help you and they just have you file out
00:08:06.580
all kinds of forms now part of that is true with some insurance companies some insurance companies
00:08:15.560
suck others don't should they suck no are we going to cure this by saying everybody has to be paid
00:08:29.020
and immediately and we can't we can't stall or anything at all no that's not going to solve it
00:08:36.520
it's going to make it worse now here's the way i look at an insurance company imagine insurance company
00:08:44.180
as a massive neighborhood potluck where everybody in the community has to bring a dish that's their premium
00:08:51.120
you come on in you got to bring a dish and i prefer if you're really really fat because you like to eat
00:08:57.640
you bring a bigger dish okay but everybody brings a dish and the head chef let's call her carla hey
00:09:05.380
i'm carla back here just managing the potluck that's all i'm doing everybody comes in and has to contribute
00:09:11.320
something and maybe you bring a ten thousand dollar casserole i don't know because you've got a bigger
00:09:16.540
house and you're i don't know super super fat okay somebody else brings a five thousand dollar salad
00:09:22.840
which i would never ever what's a five thousand dollar salad what i mean how could it possibly be
00:09:28.040
that much i would question the salad and i wouldn't need it anyway but i'd say to myself it's five
00:09:32.320
thousand dollar it's got to be a good salad but then i'd realize it's a salad anyway let's not focus
00:09:37.540
on the salad here the idea is that everybody brings something in and puts it at the table
00:09:42.100
and if your house burns down like in a california wildfire or you need surgery after breathing in too much
00:09:48.900
smoke you can take a big helping from the potluck table to cover all the costs that's the way
00:09:54.680
insurance is supposed to work with the idea that not everyone is going to need a plate at the table
00:10:03.520
that big at the same time because if everybody says i need that too i want to eat like the fat fat fatty
00:10:11.340
over there and they don't need to eat like the fat fat fatty then what happens nobody has food
00:10:17.980
eventually you run out of carla is a little smoked all right i'm just sitting here back back here
00:10:24.620
smoking cool cigarettes wondering what the hell how am i supposed to feed all these people
00:10:28.580
she has to have enough food on the table for everybody who needs it
00:10:34.160
but she also knows she's got to run the potluck next week too
00:10:40.120
so if you let everybody take everything that they want whenever they want the table will be empty
00:10:47.340
in about an hour there's nothing left for the disaster carla has to be a little stingy
00:10:53.160
i know your house burned down but i need to make sure that your house actually did burn down
00:10:58.600
before i give you some more mashed potatoes let me just check on that first she's not trying to rip
00:11:04.860
you off if she's with a good insurance company she's making sure the potluck just doesn't turn
00:11:10.460
into a free-for-all where the table gets cleared out and the whole system collapses now let's bring in
00:11:15.980
luigi hey it's me luigi i love shooting people in the head on the street okay anytime you have a ballot
00:11:23.460
measure where you're making that guy the good guy your state has a problem
00:11:29.060
so it's not a new potluck rule here carla you can't make wait anybody wait for their plate
00:11:37.440
for the insurance okay or the food you can't you can't say no to anybody who's hungry
00:11:42.820
okay well i've got a hundred people right here and they're all telling me they're hungry
00:11:48.260
and they're all telling me it's an emergency and i know some of them are going to take some of that
00:11:52.640
food and put it into a purse and hold it for later and that's not what this is about i gotta feed the
00:11:58.980
people who are hungry but if i have to serve everybody right away no questions asked okay
00:12:04.140
then i run out of food and guess what then i don't have any food for anybody
00:12:07.980
carla's not wrong she's been running the numbers
00:12:14.260
it's actually bad sous chef he's an actuary named dave he's got a spreadsheet
00:12:21.520
anyway he's looking at dave says you know after the 2018 campfire i mean we served up 12 billion
00:12:29.200
dollars worth of plates to victims uh we can't do this anymore because we only had that much because
00:12:35.940
70 percent of the folks at the potluck didn't need a plate that year they brought their own casseroles
00:12:41.900
and salads but they didn't their house didn't burn down they didn't they didn't come starving at the
00:12:46.540
table if everybody is starving at the table and they all come in to cash we're not going to have
00:12:54.080
enough food that's what insurance companies are and california just doesn't seem to understand this
00:13:08.100
the way bad insurance runs they run it like a casino where the house always wins no matter what
00:13:18.360
you're like bing bing bing bing i won and it's like nope sorry sorry you didn't win uh
00:13:24.900
glitch in the machine somebody make this guy go away that's the way bad insurance run
00:13:32.140
but in insurance it's not a guarantee it's a bet that this company is taking on you
00:13:40.500
that's why you know back in the old timey days when you know we were sailing across
00:13:44.800
the sea and i don't know there were mermaids and sea monsters that would take down the ships back i'm
00:13:50.940
talking the old old timey days you know back in like the 1940s and you had to have insurance for
00:13:57.300
your ships and there were these you know english guys who were like well this is my ship and i'll
00:14:02.540
guarantee that ship and it's got some so there's some tea on it and maybe some snuff lots of snuff on
00:14:08.820
it somebody had to underwrite that in case the ship went down so the snuff people didn't go out of
00:14:16.720
business so the tea people didn't go out of business but if all the ships claim to have gone down
00:14:23.660
the guy who's underwriting all of the insurance doesn't have any more money left so then nobody
00:14:31.180
gets any money it's a bet the problem is our government has made insurance so deeply in bed
00:14:40.960
with the government and then you have these politicians who let's be honest are only attorneys
00:14:47.080
that's all they are their attorney have you ever liked an attorney honestly have you ever
00:14:53.360
except for on tv maybe you liked an attorney on tv but you don't like attorneys you might like them
00:14:59.980
until you find out they're an attorney he's a really good guy then i found out he was an attorney
00:15:04.280
but nobody wants to hang out with attorney nobody wants to work for a company run by attorneys
00:15:10.480
i don't even think attorney firms want to work for attorney firms because they're all run by attorneys
00:15:15.220
they don't know how to do anything except say no
00:15:20.240
oh gosh that's what our states are like they're all run by attorneys
00:15:26.520
and these attorneys think they can craft some legalese that will make everything right you can't
00:15:33.000
if our society is rotten to the core then our businesses are going to be rotten to the core and
00:15:39.600
no amount of fancy 500 attorney words are going to fix that
00:15:44.940
everything we have in our society is built on trust
00:15:50.800
you know why the insurance company is going out of business because it can't trust that there aren't
00:15:58.700
people bilking the system you know why you don't have why you get really upset
00:16:05.240
when your mother is sick and you can't get the insurance that that was promised to you
00:16:09.800
because you have insurance companies that are bilking the system
00:16:13.740
everybody has to play fair but california are you really this stupid you just
00:16:21.460
what was it like 40 of the people whose house burned down
00:16:26.840
was because they didn't have insurance because these evil insurance companies canceled
00:16:31.340
because you can't control the fires every year everybody's house seems to burn down or slide
00:16:38.400
you can't the insurance companies can't afford it
00:16:43.260
and you won't let them raise the rate so they're just like okay well then i'm not doing business here
00:16:49.900
now some of this might be needed i don't know i'm not from california don't care to be from california
00:16:55.340
don't read that much about california because they're all insane
00:16:59.100
but what do you think's going to happen with this
00:17:04.480
here's what's going to happen they're going to raise the rates and then you're going to say you
00:17:09.860
can't raise the rates and then when you force them to make sure that everybody gets coverage
00:17:15.260
and you can't ask any questions and so fraud goes through the roof
00:17:18.240
then what will happen is they'll go out of business or they'll say we're going to go out of business
00:17:23.780
because california is telling us we can't raise the rates
00:17:27.660
so we're going to get out and then you know what those attorneys will do you can't leave california
00:17:36.740
i don't know how this story ends we should look into carl marx i bet he has a good ending for that
00:17:47.540
joe biden was a guy that was a good president or not here's a little fun fact for you
00:17:51.680
his administration loosened all kinds of restrictions on the chemical abortion pill
00:17:56.100
didn't require the nih to report the injuries it was causing to the women who took it
00:18:00.420
and now to this day this little pill is bringing death to babies and injury
00:18:04.240
and death to moms and some of them are teenagers
00:18:07.260
pre-born is about changing the hearts and minds of people
00:18:11.120
when it comes to the abortion issue you're never going to outlaw it
00:18:16.640
by showing an unexpecting or an expecting mother
00:18:34.620
they're doing god's worth the work on earth every single day
00:18:41.820
because they just don't think they can afford the baby
00:18:45.300
and that's why pre-born is there for up to two years after the baby is born
00:18:55.520
you're not going to regret the choice to save lives
00:46:49.900
First, one of the most valuable assets you'll ever have, maybe the most valuable, is your
00:46:55.180
Not just because it's what ties you to all your money, either.
00:46:57.960
It's what ties you to your good name, your credibility in the world.
00:47:01.280
And you need to understand that there are people absolutely positively, people out there
00:47:05.060
right now who can't just wait to steal all of that from you.
00:47:15.660
And every day, every day, the tools for finding and stealing your identity get a little more
00:47:24.120
The only thing standing in that gap is the security you and I use and what I recommend,
00:47:30.460
LifeLock.com literally scans hundreds of millions of data points every second.
00:47:35.260
That's not something their competition can easily match.
00:47:38.400
They protect you from the most heinous threats.
00:47:42.360
And they help you rebuild if you are re-victimized.

00:48:01.520
I was, my head was just spinning all night just thinking about stuff.
00:48:05.200
And I couldn't get, I couldn't get a couple of stories out of my mind.
00:48:08.260
First, the social security thing we're going to talk about.
00:48:10.440
That Elon Musk was in Wisconsin along with a buddy of his, a guy who volunteered as a big CEO of a venture capitalist thing.
00:48:18.760
And volunteered because he wants to clean up the government and all of the waste and the graft and everything else.
00:48:24.020
And they made an announcement, we'll play for you, about social security.
00:48:27.680
The other thing, Wisconsin has a big vote today.
00:48:32.220
And this could mean the balance of the House, Republican, Democrat.
00:48:45.020
We're going to talk to Ron Johnson about it here in just a second.
00:48:50.260
If you happen to be in Wisconsin, probably a day to go out and vote.
00:48:54.340
Not probably, definitely a day to go out and vote.
00:48:57.680
Then I was also thinking about the protests again on Elon Musk.
00:49:11.080
These are demonstrators outside of Tesla showrooms.
00:49:17.880
We've seen people burning the cars and the lithium batteries.
00:49:30.840
Today's theme of the show is just, can we think?
00:49:37.460
Before we accept this story, let's ask some things.
00:49:42.140
Can anybody tell me what these protesters are responding to?
00:49:49.760
I'm talking about in England, in Germany, wherever a Tesla showroom is, people are protesting.
00:49:57.180
I would just like to know, what are the people in England protesting?
00:50:11.740
I mean, I would understand it if people in Europe were protesting on the tariffs.
00:50:15.320
Because that would actually affect the average person.
00:50:24.180
He's helping lead a department focused on the United States federal budgeting and efficiency.
00:50:30.880
Why would anyone in Germany or Sweden or Ireland care?
00:50:44.300
I tried to find, has there been anything like this in history?
00:50:48.020
No, you can go to, you know, people protesting the nukes and war and everything.
00:50:53.940
There's nothing where a domestic policy dispute has all of a sudden swept the globe.
00:51:10.760
Even if they were saying, you know, Greenland, America just wants to buy Greenland.
00:51:20.020
But I can't see people in, I don't know, whatever city Greenland has, or the people in Denmark, you know, rising up and saying,
00:51:31.740
this policy that Elon Musk is doing in the United States, trying to make the government more efficient, that's just outrageous.
00:51:43.320
Have you ever seen a protest in foreign countries over a U.S. cabinet appointment?
00:51:58.380
But over something that deals with cutting our budget that will not affect really anybody overseas.
00:52:16.520
The first question is, have you ever seen this before?
00:52:20.280
Second, why would anybody in Europe care about this?
00:52:29.840
This is the company that made electric cars mainstream.
00:52:37.800
When everybody was saying, we've got to have electric cars, we're like, no, hydrogen would be even better.
00:52:47.700
He not only develops solar panels, battery storage, charging infrastructure, things environmentalists have been begging the world to adopt for decades.
00:52:58.420
Okay, and then, wait, all of a sudden, the very people who claim climate change is the greatest, I'm quoting them, the greatest threat to humanity are now trying to cripple or even burn down the company doing the most to solve it.
00:53:25.360
If that makes sense to you, then you should see a doctor.
00:53:28.620
If you believe in saving the planet, how does driving the number one force for clean energy or torching lithium batteries help you at all?
00:53:46.500
How does trying to destroy the most innovative clean energy company in the world move us toward your goal?
00:54:00.100
Are all of the claims you've made since the 1980s, 90s, how we're all five years away from something worse than World War II?
00:54:09.600
You know, we're all going to die in a fiery flood.
00:54:15.760
Because if we only have five years to do something, why are you stopping Tesla?
00:54:26.440
Elon Musk did not become controversial when he built Tesla or when he launched rockets or when he championed electric energy.
00:54:41.260
It's when he stood up and defended free speech.
00:54:50.980
When he bought Twitter and exposed the censorship that we now can prove happened.
00:54:57.660
When he said he wouldn't be a pawn for either side.
00:55:09.340
And when people try to justify it, they usually pivot to one word.
00:55:29.880
I feel like, you know, I feel like Montoya and the six-fingered man.
00:55:36.560
I do not think it means what you think it means.
00:55:42.480
Is it simply somebody with a lot of money and a large platform?
00:55:47.240
Is it somebody who questions centralized authority?
00:55:52.560
Is it someone who wants less government interference, not more?
00:55:56.700
Because none of those things are the definition of fascist.
00:56:01.440
Traditional fascism is defined by state control, forced conformity, censorship, and the silencing of dissent.
00:56:11.460
So, will you recognize you don't understand the word fascist or fascism?
00:56:17.900
And maybe you can pick another word, but that one, you know, I could call my car a horse or a goat all day long.
00:56:29.400
So, you can call him a fascist all you want, but it doesn't make him a fascist.
00:56:33.760
Let's find another word that might work for you.
00:56:43.640
By the way, Musk, that fascist, is the one being protested, censored, and attacked for trying to create platforms where dissent is allowed.
00:56:56.540
If you're on that side, don't you have a headache?
00:57:04.660
Is he really a fascist, or is he a powerful figure who doesn't obey the approved narrative?
00:57:14.700
He doesn't care what the approved narrative is.
00:57:17.500
He's just going to do it, whether you like it or not.
00:57:22.800
It makes you a fascist if you're telling everyone they must conform.
00:57:26.580
If somebody is a fascist for promoting open dialogue, transparency, and government accountability, what do you call the people who are trying to shut him down by any means necessary, including violence?
00:57:42.480
Because if you take the word fascist away and you apply it to him, there's no word for the people who are actually trying to silence people through violence or terroristic activities.
00:57:53.820
And, you know, the worst thing is, and I said this about racism, how many years ago?
00:58:07.260
It's going to let real racists go by the wayside because it will have no meaning anymore.
00:58:31.260
Who gains power or influence if Tesla's brand is damaged?
00:58:37.760
Or if the public believes the world is against him?
00:58:41.240
Because regular people do not throw together rallies on a Saturday across the border, across the ocean to protest over American federal staffing decisions.
00:59:01.100
They're cutting some teacher salary over in Ireland.
00:59:24.440
Gee, that doesn't sound like a grassroots operation at all, does it?
00:59:30.700
And if the protests are being driven by a narrative and not facts, then isn't it fair to ask this question?
00:59:42.580
See, we're living in an age now where perception is power.
00:59:53.740
And if you can convince the public that even climate heroes are suddenly now villains just because they challenge a certain system, not even the one you say is the most important of all time.
01:00:28.040
Is this protest helping the environment or hurting it?
01:00:35.260
Is the word fascism being used to reveal the truth or to shut down a conversation?
01:00:41.660
And most importantly, are we now burning down the lifeboats just because we don't like the captain of the ship?
01:00:48.900
Because if we are, we might win the argument today.
01:01:09.680
And the number one thing that fascists do sink big ships.
01:01:16.280
But since we're redefining the word fascist, they sink big ships back in a minute.
01:01:22.100
If you're living day in and day out with aches and pains, you're probably, you know, you know, you know what it's like.
01:01:29.720
Your energy is slowly just draining out of you.
01:01:33.320
Doesn't do a lot for your your mood either or your outlook on life at all.
01:01:42.820
That's why I'm telling you relief factor is different.
01:01:48.720
It works for about 70 percent of the people who try it.
01:01:53.160
And if you're like me and it works, you can get out of pain.
01:01:59.640
It's a long term solution to help you get out of pain and stay out of pain.
01:02:35.820
So Elon Musk and a friend of his, they were out in Wisconsin doing a rally or a town hall, and they were talking about how what they found in Social Security is just horrible.
01:02:51.220
The government was giving away Social Security numbers, and it wasn't haphazard.
01:02:58.220
People were coming across the border, and they were handing them a Social Security number.
01:03:01.660
And it was clear that, I don't remember the numbers, but it's a very high number.
01:03:09.420
When our old people can't afford to eat, we're just giving this away to people who are here illegally.
01:03:20.640
So, you know, we don't survive as a nation without some accountability and without some common ground.
01:03:29.520
And I don't know, again, when did it become okay to cheer or jeer for somebody who's stopping corruption in our government?
01:03:48.440
How did we get to the point to where people actually cheer the idea of our government secretly and denying it, if you ask them, giving taxpayer-funded benefits like Social Security to millions of people who are here illegally?
01:04:12.700
Just ask your friend, ask yourself this question.
01:04:14.940
If the people you trusted the least were doing this, would you be okay with it?
01:04:24.900
I would be fine if you had an Elon Musk in there doing this.
01:04:38.260
You know, critical thinking really needs to make a comeback.
01:04:40.720
Because when we stop thinking critically, we start defending nonsense because our side is doing it.
01:04:52.160
We lose the ability to have any kind of honest conversations with the people that we love.
01:04:57.140
So how do you talk to your friends and your family who just don't seem to see what we see?
01:05:12.180
You ask them, can we just look at this as if we didn't know who was in office?
01:05:26.420
If this is allowed for the government to deny that they're doing this, but give all of this money, all of these benefits to people who are here illegally while denying they're doing it, and it's not within the bounds of the law.
01:05:39.660
If we can just do this now, is there any limiting principle?
01:05:45.420
What happens to a country when the law no longer means what it says?
01:05:50.920
We just need to start inviting people to answer these questions.
01:05:56.080
Because deep down, most people do not want to be hypocrites.
01:05:59.580
And that's the conflict that they're having in their head right now.
01:06:07.560
But sometimes they just need a little help connecting the dots.
01:06:20.020
But the dishonest ones will end the conversation there.
01:06:24.720
And they'll want to just go back into the outrage machine.
01:06:29.980
Because we can't see our neighbors as enemies just because they see the world differently.
01:06:35.080
But the first step to helping each other is ask honest questions.
01:06:42.820
Not be thinking, oh, good, they said that so I can say.
01:06:51.460
We have to find our way back to the actual law.
01:07:02.160
And if we can't do this, then the fight isn't about left versus right anymore.
01:07:26.100
APR for rates in the five starts at 6.799% for well-qualified borrowers.
01:07:29.900
Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.
01:07:34.720
But the truth of the matter is a lot of people are just going to look at you as a meal ticket, you know.
01:07:39.480
The bank, credit card companies, they don't really care.
01:07:43.300
As long as they're getting their money, I mean, they do care.
01:07:46.580
I mean, they care if you're struggling, you know, make everything work at the end of every month.
01:07:53.560
They're never with you on those nights when you just can't sleep.
01:07:56.580
They're not like, you know, I'm your bank and let's work this out.
01:08:00.620
It's kind of the way it goes in the world of finances today.
01:08:05.840
That's why their mortgage consultants are salary-based and not commission-based.
01:08:10.880
That way, they can get around to the most important thing, which is helping you get debt-free.
01:08:16.660
They can help you build a stable financial house.
01:08:20.820
By the way, they've been doing this for a long time.
01:08:23.280
Since 1999, they've seen a lot of competitors in the field come and go.
01:08:26.820
They've learned the secret of success early on.
01:08:29.040
And that's put you, the customer, first every time.
01:08:31.800
Call American Financing, 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440.
01:08:41.520
We'll talk to Senator Ron Johnson about it next.
01:09:08.840
Not today, of course, but maybe sometime later this week.
01:09:14.680
He's going to be joining us in just a few minutes.
01:09:16.920
He is obviously a Republican from Wisconsin, the big vote.
01:09:21.780
And what the Supreme Court would mean for the rest of the country, a liberal Wisconsin Supreme Court.
01:09:27.840
What would it mean for the rest of the country?
01:09:29.620
Donald Trump is very, very clear on all of this.
01:09:33.400
There's a very important election for a state Supreme Court on April 1st.
01:09:38.640
Brad Schimmel is running against radical left liberal Susan Crawford, who has repeatedly given child molesters, rapists, women beaters, and domestic abusers light sentences.
01:09:49.100
She is the handpicked voice of the leftists who are out to destroy your state and our country.
01:09:54.520
And if she wins, the movement will restore our nation.
01:09:59.620
All voters who believe in common sense should get out to vote early for Brad Schimmel.
01:10:03.960
By turning out to vote, you'll be helping to uphold the rule of law, protect our incredible police, secure our beloved constitution, safeguard our inalienable rights, and preserve liberty and justice for all.
01:10:13.740
So, so important, please, Wisconsin, get out and vote today for Brad Schimmel.
01:10:23.580
Did you see that Elon Musk was out doing this as well?
01:10:36.760
Senator Ron Johnson is with us now to tell us why this is so important in Wisconsin.
01:10:44.180
Well, if Susan Crawford wins, we'll retain the radical left majority on the court that was established in 2023 when George Soros and crew came in and pretty well bought that Supreme Court race, spending tens of millions of dollars.
01:11:00.700
They, over the last two years, they've redistricted our state assembly and state senate.
01:11:06.220
So our majorities in those chambers have shrunken.
01:11:09.120
And if they retain that radical left majority on the court, they will redistrict Derek Van Orden and Brian Stiles' congressional seats, really put those things in jeopardy.
01:11:21.000
If they put those in jeopardy with such a slim majority with such a slim majority, we could lose the majority in the second half of Trump's term.
01:11:28.460
And I just think I would then be sitting for a third impeachment trial for Donald Trump.
01:11:34.700
And he'll basically have two years where he can be effective, and then the second two years is just going to be a you-know-what ride for the president.
01:11:43.760
So in addition to that, they'll overturn voter ID law.
01:11:48.040
They'll probably overturn any election integrity measure because Democrats want to cheat in elections.
01:11:53.020
And we just may take Wisconsin off the map in terms of battleground state for the 10 electoral votes for a Republican president.
01:11:59.440
I mean, that's how serious this is, not to mention the fact they overturned Act 10, Act 10, which is Governor Walker's signature achievement,
01:12:06.320
saved Wisconsinites hundreds of millions, if not billions of dollars in tax payments, that type of thing.
01:12:14.720
And the good news, Glenn, is that this shouldn't be that hard.
01:12:18.460
If you were one of the 1.7 million Wisconsinites that voted for President Trump, 1.7, he's a record vote-gater in Wisconsin.
01:12:27.020
Our last Supreme Court judge in 2023 got 800,000 votes.
01:12:33.900
So if you want to see President Trump effective and you voted for him, get out and vote.
01:12:39.240
I mean, we should be logging 1.5, 1.6 million votes.
01:12:44.740
So if you voted for him, use your text change, use your email change, talk to everybody you know that also voted for Donald Trump and get out and vote now.
01:12:55.960
I don't think I've ever heard, Stu, have you ever heard a state Supreme Court election be this, trumpeted like this, is so important to the nation.
01:13:07.160
And that's why it's the most expensive ever, right?
01:13:09.520
More money being spent on this because so many people are focused on it.
01:13:12.760
I think maybe that's because George Soros is on one side and Elon Musk is on the other side.
01:13:23.740
Guys, this started with Eric Holder, who started taking over all these district attorneys.
01:13:30.860
And, you know, George Soros funding these district attorneys that wouldn't prosecute crime.
01:13:38.400
So through stealth, they've taken over school boards.
01:13:41.800
Again, they've gotten their radical left ideology infiltrated into every institution of this country, particularly our legal system.
01:13:47.980
These radical left judges, I mean, those are the ones that are issuing nationwide injunctions against the actions that a duly elected president was elected to enact, right?
01:14:02.800
So they're the ones that, again, turned the 2023 Wisconsin Supreme Court race into the most expensive race in history, over $50 million.
01:14:13.380
So all Elon Musk is doing is trying to level the playing field.
01:14:26.580
So he offered to pay people to sign a petition against activist judges.
01:14:33.760
People who signed up for that petition were then eligible for a drawing to win a million dollars.
01:14:38.540
I was at his town hall event where he gave up $2 million checks.
01:14:42.800
And, of course, our attorney general challenged that.
01:14:45.860
But even the radical left Supreme Court turned back that challenge.
01:14:50.100
So Elon Musk, the publicity he's getting for the million-dollar checks dwarfs the cost of the million-dollar checks.
01:14:58.260
I mean, he's getting millions of dollars of publicity.
01:15:00.840
And so hopefully enough Trump voters are paying attention and will get off the couch, get out and vote, and secure this Supreme Court seat.
01:15:17.140
I mean, Elon said at the event on Sunday night that the 85-cent betting chance that Brad Schumel is going to lose.
01:15:26.300
There's no reason we shouldn't win this thing just running away if those 1.7 million Trump voters are serious about letting Trump be Trump and honoring his promises.
01:15:36.620
It is amazing to me what the left is doing through the court system.
01:15:45.540
And, I mean, you know, we've seen George Soros coming for a long time.
01:15:48.980
And now he's just – it's almost like he – it's almost like nobody pays even attention to him.
01:15:53.780
What he has done to our country, how he has destroyed our states and many of our cities.
01:16:05.360
Look at what happens wherever his fingers are, the destruction that comes with it.
01:16:20.240
That's because the corporate legacy media, there are a bunch of leftists themselves.
01:16:24.020
But it's also because as conservatives, we really don't want to have to deal with government.
01:16:31.100
For liberals, getting into government, getting control of our lives, that's their lifelong ambition.
01:16:39.260
And so what happens – we saw this under Reagan.
01:16:45.100
We kind of, you know, clap our hands together and say, okay, we solved this problem.
01:17:00.740
We didn't see the Supreme Court race in 2023 coming.
01:17:03.440
We haven't seen in even conservative school districts the radical leftists take over school boards and city councils and county boards.
01:17:11.460
So, again, government is everything to leftists, to conservatives.
01:17:17.640
So we don't – we just don't pay the attention to it as the left does.
01:17:21.960
And that's what's happening in Wisconsin right now.
01:17:23.420
The 1.7 million voters for Trump, they just aren't – they haven't paid enough attention to it right now.
01:17:29.340
But now is the time to wake up, pay attention to it, and secure this Supreme Court seat.
01:17:34.120
Yeah, I think this is your last chance to wake up in Wisconsin.
01:17:42.220
Thank you for everything you've done in the Senate and protecting our nation and your state.
01:17:54.500
Boy, I tell you, that is – it's amazing how this just never, ever ends.
01:18:05.060
And I think that's the problem with most people.
01:18:10.760
I've lost – but, you know, can I just have my life back?
01:18:20.160
If you lose your country, you lose your ability to worship God.
01:18:26.080
Because if you lose your right to worship God, what happens to your family?
01:18:28.980
We've seen what the godlessness of this society so far has done to our children.
01:18:36.160
So, I mean, I've always said God, family, country.
01:18:50.080
Well, if you don't have – if you don't have – if you don't have country, you won't
01:19:02.600
I mean, like, how many – how many people – how many Afghanis have we talked to over
01:19:07.600
the years that are better at worshiping their God and risking their lives?
01:19:12.120
If you're not participating – if you're – if the godly people don't come out and participate,
01:19:17.880
You can be godly in a place that does – that where a government tells you you can't.
01:19:23.500
Oh, I just want to have some critical questions, Glenn.
01:19:35.160
I've got a critical question for some critical thinking.
01:19:46.640
Well, do some critical thinking on sports instead.
01:19:53.500

01:22:02.560
First of all, I want to, Stu, if you will, we're going to describe this video here.
01:22:07.200
This is a vandal working some artwork on a Tesla.
01:22:23.260
Again, these people don't realize that Teslas have cameras all over them.
01:22:34.240
And so the person that, who had the Tesla, whose car was keyed, he confronted him in the parking lot.
01:23:24.120
So your business, your freaking livelihood, everything now.
01:23:30.120
So you tell Facebook that you're sorry for writing a swastika on a Tesla.
01:23:39.800
I have nothing against your car, and I have nothing against you.
01:23:45.820
Obviously, I have something against Elon Musk, but that's not the way to show my...
01:23:52.600
Because it was bought and paid for a long time ago.
01:23:55.080
That's why it's misguided, and obviously, I did not intend to do that.
01:24:01.880
Why do the police have their fingerprinting it?
01:24:08.900
I mean, like, his explanation at the end there is a good one for, like, a mean tweet.
01:24:27.180
A lot of people have crayons in their pockets as adults.
01:24:36.460
This is the founder and CEO of equity firm Valor Integrity Equity Partners with Elon Musk
01:24:44.940
When we saw these numbers, we were like, what is this?
01:24:47.740
In 21, you see 270,000 people goes all the way to 2.1 million in 24.
01:24:54.140
These are non-citizens that are getting Social Security numbers.
01:25:04.440
When you come in the country, if you're illegal, there's a couple ways to come in.
01:25:07.720
You come in through a port of entry, and you can tell them you're afraid.
01:25:16.220
Another way to do it is to just go to the border.
01:25:27.640
You walk up to a Border Patrol officer, and you tell them you want to come in.
01:25:33.080
They could charge you with a misdemeanor or a felony under 1325, or they can make an
01:25:37.660
administrative offense, like a parking ticket, basically.
01:25:40.220
They were told to do that, make an administrative offense under the last administration.
01:25:46.500
They do what's called a release of your own recognizance, and they give you an NTA, a notice
01:25:54.240
The wait times on judges are like average six years.
01:26:04.980
Once you're in the country, and you've got asylum, through one of these pathways, and
01:26:09.040
we map the whole thing out, you can apply for a work document.
01:26:20.760
And then Social Security Administration automatically sends you in the mail your Social Security
01:26:28.720
There are millions of people getting Social Security through that process that just came
01:27:35.840
You know, we are now living in a world where it is totally acceptable, even celebrated, to
01:27:43.840
key somebody's car, you know, to torch a Tesla, to beat a woman in a parking lot, all because
01:27:49.320
she drives something made by the wrong billionaire, I guess.
01:28:02.680
Stu's going to tell us how much virtue you have when you burn a Tesla.
01:28:09.720
Environmentalists are the ones who are like, we got to burn these Teslas down to the ground.
01:28:14.880
I just want you to know, it's kind of like a nutrition box on the side of what you're about
01:28:20.280
Let me just be that little box for you to show you how many calories you're going to
01:28:31.200
It'd be great to do business with a company that represented your best interest.
01:28:36.560
Well, hopefully you feel that way if you're a member of the Blaze TV.
01:28:40.120
We try to do the right thing and try to represent your interests.
01:28:43.840
It's a curious thing, though, in a day and age where we have so many choices that we
01:28:47.400
still do business with companies that don't represent our values at all, as well as represent
01:28:58.800
If you're going through the big boys, chances are pretty good you're supporting some of the
01:29:01.840
things with your money that you do not want to support.
01:29:04.580
If you're with Verizon, congratulations, some of your money is going to Planned Parenthood.
01:29:08.700
With Patriot Mobile, on the other hand, you're actually supporting things you believe in
01:29:12.080
because it's a Christian-owned company with awesome cell phone coverage, great U.S.-based
01:29:16.900
customer service, and they take a portion of the money that they make out of their profit
01:29:24.780
And they're all up front about it on the front page of the website.

So, you know, you don't have to like Elon Musk.
01:29:58.460
But when you start cheering for people to be attacked for what they drive, what they say,
01:30:03.600
or who they voted for, you might have lost the plot.
01:30:11.560
I mean, the minute you were on the wrong side of Martin Luther King, I mean, it's a pretty good.
01:30:22.680
No, I'm pretty sure I'm on the right side then.
01:30:28.160
Martin Luther King didn't say, you just got to hurt them and beat them in the streets until they agree with you.
01:30:34.760
Yeah, you know what I got to tell you, we're going to beat the snot out of those people every day until we get our way.
01:30:54.000
When did we start thinking that violence was a valid argument?
01:31:01.220
We just played this video of this guy who sneaks out of his car, doesn't know that Teslas have cameras all over them, sneaks out of his car, and he's keying the side of a Tesla.
01:31:35.340
This is about the idea that violence is okay if your cause is just enough.
01:31:41.380
You know, if you're allowed to destroy somebody else's property or their body, you can do it as long as you feel like you're the victim.
01:31:54.600
Wouldn't you hate to live your life that way all the time, being so angry all the time?
01:32:00.160
The second you use force to silence or punish somebody for thinking differently than you, you're no longer the good guy.
01:32:13.100
So, today, I've been trying to concentrate on how to talk to your friends.
01:32:19.160
How do you, you know, how do you talk to people who defend this kind of behavior?
01:32:25.360
Because I know I have members of my family that, you know, they don't listen to me.
01:32:38.340
And, you know, it's good because it keeps you humble.
01:32:43.260
I don't have my, nobody in my family is like, well, ask Glenn because I bet he was there and saw that.
01:33:01.500
First of all, we have to decide if we're going to be friends with our family or not.
01:33:05.420
Because I think anybody, it's a cult that tells you not to be friends with your family.
01:33:12.260
A cult says, divorce yourself from your family.
01:33:15.980
If they disagree with you, if they don't believe in what we believe, get away from them.
01:33:28.660
Let's make sure everybody knows we love our family.
01:33:33.540
But, you know, we don't want to disagree with you.
01:33:41.120
But I really want to understand, if you're for all this Tesla stuff, and you'll say, well, I'm not for all of it.
01:33:48.140
Well, I mean, you kind of, you know, you kind of have to take all of it here.
01:33:59.720
Ask them, would you feel good about this if this was done to your car?
01:34:09.660
Would you feel good if that was happening to your sister?
01:34:13.020
Would you feel good if that 61-year-old woman in Phoenix, if that was your sister or your mom?
01:34:26.920
So, how is it you're standing by and saying it's okay?
01:34:30.380
Let me ask you, is violence the answer when you don't get your way?
01:34:37.960
Because this is what I always heard from the left.
01:34:40.920
You know, war is just violence, and you don't get anywhere with violence.
01:34:47.320
Because it turns out I think you're right, kind of, you know?
01:34:50.400
War is different, but we've made a lot of mistakes in war.
01:35:00.980
What happens when the other side starts doing the same thing back to you?
01:35:08.820
Because if your ideology only works when it's enforced by fist or fire, then your philosophy doesn't work, okay?
01:35:18.000
You don't win the hearts and minds of people with hatred.
01:35:20.740
You don't fix injustice by committing your own injustice.
01:35:24.680
Now, I know that's not what we're being taught in schools now.
01:35:28.720
The only way to be an anti-racist is—the only way to not be racist is to be an anti-racist, right?
01:35:38.500
The only way to not be a racist is to be an anti-racist.
01:35:46.920
You don't build a better world by burning something down in somebody else's driveway.
01:35:53.520
And we have to stop pretending that this is okay.
01:35:55.880
And you just have to start asking, because it's not okay.
01:36:05.200
Why are you okay with people doing things that are violent now?
01:36:10.320
I'm here to tell you I proudly was against January 6th on January 6th and the 7th and the 8th.
01:36:17.280
And I still am today, for anybody who is there, actually committing violence.
01:36:26.520
Because I'm against this violence, and I was against that violence.
01:36:29.720
And if we can't say that out loud anymore, then we're not a movement.
01:36:41.840
And you're really half a step away from not being a mob, but terrorists.
01:36:59.060
Is that, would you be happy if my side were doing it to you?
01:37:08.820
It's okay to stand up and say, I mean, I did this yesterday.
01:37:13.360
We, I mean, Stu and I, it's going to become very unpopular.
01:37:16.600
I don't think it is now, but it's going to become very unpopular to say these things.
01:37:23.500
I'm talking about, you know, possibility of third term.
01:37:26.380
The, the New York Times is, is saying today, he's just doing that.
01:37:30.400
So he won't be a lame duck in the last two years.
01:37:34.280
But I, I think there are some people around him that are absolutely serious.
01:37:39.300
He's dead serious about, you know, there are ways.
01:37:45.320
You know, Roger Ailes said to me at one point, he said, Glenn, we all love the Constitution.
01:37:48.820
But there are things that we have to do from time to time.
01:38:00.180
And this, and this is going to get hard for a lot of people.
01:38:02.440
Because I really, truly believe Donald Trump is the only one with the backbone, the spine, the vision to stand up and to withstand all of the punches that he has received.
01:38:15.480
Can you name one other person that could go through everything that he's gone through and actually turn out to be nicer?
01:38:26.420
I'm, I believe, I can't tell you that the election was stolen in 2020, but I can't tell you it wasn't.
01:38:38.220
I don't, I think something was hinky about that.
01:38:40.740
It's actually turned out to be a blessing that he had those four years away so he could, you know, get his sea legs.
01:38:45.940
But, and I also believe that by 20, by 2028, that's not enough time to fix the country.
01:38:58.040
And I also believe extraordinary times call for extraordinary men.
01:39:01.840
So I believe all those things about Donald Trump.
01:39:10.200
You can believe all those things and not be against Donald Trump or anything else, not be un-American and say, no, you know, we don't bend or break the Constitution to keep my preferred leader in power.
01:39:24.420
Because if you break the Constitution to do that, then you've already lost the country you're trying to save.
01:39:30.860
Now, if you want to change the Constitution, that's legal.
01:39:35.400
But if you want to find a little trick to make it happen, then I can't go with you there.
01:39:44.520
As I look at this, there are, we have to reroute ourselves back into principles.
01:39:50.500
So let me give you some principles on this one.
01:39:56.680
When it comes to power, do the ends ever justify the means?
01:40:01.220
So letting your guy break the rules today sets a precedent for the other side to do the same tomorrow, only worse, with no resistance.
01:40:14.540
And they always come around and bite you in the butt.
01:40:20.420
He rewrote the Constitution to stay in power for the people.
01:40:24.920
And every but one of his supporters cheered when he did it.
01:40:28.980
By the time his successor, Nicolas Maduro, took over, the economy had collapsed, elections became a sham, and millions were forced to flee.
01:40:37.360
And the same crowd that was cheering for Chavez for the third term for Chavez, guess what?
01:40:43.160
They were imprisoned, silenced, or exiled under the very rules they helped rewrite.
01:40:53.040
If you love the Constitution, you don't make exceptions for your guy.
01:40:58.000
If you love the rule of law, my guy broke the law, he's got to go to jail.
01:41:04.720
It's not like I'll have a little of that and a little of that.
01:41:07.620
This is one of those restaurants you walk into and they're like, there are no substitutions.
01:41:12.960
You don't get to pick the parts you follow based on your convenience or your loyalty.
01:41:17.640
Your loyalty is to the law, is to the Constitution.
01:41:20.620
And if you start saying, well, just this once, if you make exceptions like that, what you're doing is you're loosening all the bolts on the wings of an airplane.
01:41:31.800
Let's not take that one bolt because somebody else will say, yeah, let's just loosen this bolt.
01:41:40.940
The nation's not held together by personalities.
01:41:44.780
And that's why we're in the trouble we're in because not enough people understand no man is above the law.
01:41:50.420
They certainly didn't understand that under Biden.
01:42:02.020
Would I like this if it were somebody I despised?
01:42:06.720
Would I like it if Joe Biden or Barack Obama was trying to change the rule so he could find a way to run a third term?
01:42:21.940
If I don't like it, if the other guy does it, that I can't like it, it's not right for me.
01:42:44.520
Somebody, Newsom, AOC, or worse, comes along, seizes the president, declares they're not leaving either.
01:42:54.440
You know, if they would have changed the number of the Supreme Court, how do you think that'd be working out for them right now?
01:43:10.280
The country's engine only works with principles.
01:43:18.640
We're either guardians of that document or we're not.
01:43:22.660
And if the Constitution cannot restrain your favorite leader, it can't restrain the worst one.
01:43:28.000
You've got to ask yourself, would I be happy with anyone else doing what I'm asking him to do?
01:43:37.460
Would I be happy with my side keying the cars, the sides of cars?
01:43:45.900
You might win today, but you don't want to give your enemies weapons that will destroy you tomorrow.
01:43:52.740
You know, if your house is infested with rats and you love your house, do you burn down your house to kill the rats?
01:44:00.360
Wanting a third term to fix the system is like setting your own house on fire because you saw rats in the walls.
01:44:05.440
A fire's going to kill a rat, sure, but it also destroys your home.
01:44:08.420
The foundation leaves you nothing, no roof to protect you.
01:44:18.020
And the last principle is, the easiest one to remember, do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
01:44:24.020
If the answer is no, I wouldn't want them to do that to me, then it's not right.
01:44:32.300
Back in just a second, let me tell you about Lear Capital.
01:44:34.680
When a storm comes along, you're always going to be glad if your house is built on a solid foundation,
01:44:39.400
something that can withstand the wind and the rain and the chaos.
01:44:44.180
It needs to be built on solid foundation, something that can withstand things like the dollar losing its value.
01:44:50.400
Lear Capital is one of the United States' leading precious metals dealers,
01:44:54.180
and they specialize in helping you invest in gold and silver and other precious metals as a way to build a hedge against inflation and economic chaos.
01:45:01.720
They've been in business now for over 25 years, guiding people just like you through the process of securing their financial future.
01:45:09.300
So I want you to experience the hassle-free way to hedge against insanity and inflation, because I got news for you.
01:45:19.760
We'll call them today, 800-957-GOLD, 800-957-GOLD.
01:45:26.340
Ask how you can also get free, up to $15,000 in free gold or silver with a qualifying purchase.
01:45:58.820
Yeah, when you go to the side of whatever you're eating, they have that nice little breakdown of all the nutritional facts.
01:46:07.140
And when it comes down to when you burn a Tesla, what does that mean for your beloved environment?
01:46:14.300
Now, I'm guessing, by the way you say it, that it's not good for the environment.
01:46:22.660
One kind of, this isn't part of this particular analysis, but just to add on, give you a taste.
01:46:28.000
Each Tesla fire that breaks out can use as much as 36,000 gallons of water to put away.
01:46:40.960
This happened, there was one in, I think it was Alabama back in 2023.
01:46:52.340
And it took 36,000 gallons just to put out the fire.
01:47:00.080
And we were talking about, some experts came out, said, you need lithium batteries.
01:47:13.360
And they said, no, you just build a giant concrete crypt.
01:47:32.300
Again, if you don't set them on fire, Tesla seemed to do pretty well.
01:47:36.300
There was an issue back in the day, we used to talk about it, where they would have
01:47:39.100
some issues with seeing spontaneously combusting.
01:47:52.360
So we're going to go through that calorie count here in just a second.
01:47:54.840
See how healthy it is to protest and burn cars down.
01:48:12.540
You know, one of the reasons why I like to be prepared is because I really don't like
01:48:20.520
surprises and I don't like, you know, you get so upset and so wigged out if something
01:48:27.180
is thrown your way and you didn't see it coming.
01:48:31.080
The people who do the best in emergency situations without fail are the ones that can remain calm.
01:48:37.580
They're the people who, you know, remain calm and they're most likely to be the ones that
01:48:42.620
make it through it and they're most likely to be the ones that were prepared for any bad
01:48:50.440
So whether you're stocking up short-term emergency food or looking for long-term survival food,
01:48:55.160
My Patriot Supply is the place you want to go if you're that prepared person.
01:48:58.480

01:49:35.860
There is something very, very important going on.
01:49:54.900
Cory Booker is on the floor of the Senate and he's filibustering.
01:50:02.020
Well, he's not actually filibustering because he's not stopping a bill or anything.
01:50:05.260
He's just talking and he's been talking since last night.
01:50:09.240
It's like, you know, Mr. Smith goes to Washington.
01:50:15.940
But so can we just, because it's important that we hear.
01:50:28.160
I thought it was right there on the back screen there.
01:50:38.060
I will say it doesn't look a lot like Cory Booker.
01:50:45.060
He does look almost exactly like Senator Chris Van Hollen from Maryland.
01:51:11.780
So I'm waiting for the nutritional value of burning Teslas.
01:51:16.640
For those who believe that, you know, global warming is an existential threat.
01:51:25.660
We only have five years to stop producing pretty much all of our, our, our, our, our
01:51:44.480
And last thing you want to do when you're on a tipping point, you just don't even want
01:51:47.060
to, you just don't even want to breathe, you know, don't want a breath to come in just
01:51:50.640
because you can fall right over the tipping point.
01:51:53.600
Now, speaking of that, um, what kind of positive things does burning Teslas do?
01:52:02.180
You could drive a gas vehicle like we have forever.
01:52:06.860
Now you may, let me go through the numbers on a driving a gas powered vehicle, manufacturing
01:52:17.800
Well, I, I still have a gas guzzling car, but I have a bigger one.
01:52:23.880
I will say, knowing Glenn and his car collection, it would definitely be a little higher.
01:52:29.040
You know, Jay Leno and I were talking about one of his cars just the other day.
01:52:34.500
And I'm like, wow, I'd like to achieve that someday.
01:52:45.740
So, uh, manufacturing nine metric tons of CO2 equivalent operation of that vehicle, about
01:52:52.120
And then the end of life as they, you know, you put it in the junkyard and all those other
01:53:03.540
Now that is, as we know, the thing that's going to kill all of us.
01:53:07.740
That's, that's the, that's, it's, that's Bigfoot.
01:53:10.640
It's the, it's the Bigfoot that's coming in with a Bigfoot, a carbon foot, and just stuffing
01:53:43.780
Then you have, let's say you're like, I want to be environmentally safe.
01:53:50.820
Those are the ones they've been mainly lighting on fire.
01:53:52.760
There's been a various attacks on all sorts of cars, of course, but the Cybertruck, I
01:53:59.580
Uh, then someone comes and lights it on fire and destroys it.
01:54:11.140
So you're manufacturing a Cybertruck, 22.5 metric tons of CO2 equivalent.
01:54:16.920
Then the fire impact, just setting it on fire by itself, just that day.
01:54:29.600
And half, more than half of making a gas powered vehicle.
01:54:36.260
Now, five metric tons for the fire itself, all the things that go into the-
01:54:41.400
Now, did you figure out how much the big, huge fire truck that's just burning diesel fuel
01:54:46.420
I think that's, I mean, I guess technically that's, I don't know if that's included or
01:54:53.500
Next, you got to replace it with another Cybertruck.
01:55:00.340
Then, you're going to operate that Cybertruck for the life of the vehicle while you have
01:55:06.700
And then the end-of-life replacement, as it kind of degrades, you have another two metric
01:55:11.700
Total emissions, 64.17 metric tons of CO2 equivalent.
01:55:26.160
And it seems like 64.17 is a bigger number than 42.08.
01:55:37.440
I didn't go to school for it, but, you know, hey, I know smart people.
01:55:40.380
You might recognize it as about a 50% increase in emissions.
01:55:44.320
So, that's kind of, you'd think a really bad thing.
01:55:50.620
However, we have another scenario here, which I feel like is maybe a little bit more likely.
01:55:57.880
Because the person, let's say you start off, you buy a Cybertruck.
01:56:02.220
Someone comes, lights it on fire as your family looks in horror.
01:56:06.160
Hopefully not on the inside of it while it's lit on fire.
01:56:12.460
You may be like, you know what I want to do with my next vehicle?
01:56:16.180
I might want to instead just get a gas-powered vehicle next time.
01:56:20.080
If you do that, you've got the Cybertruck originally manufactured for 22.5 tons, the fire impact five more tons, the replacement gas vehicle manufacturing of nine metric tons, the replacement gas vehicle operation of 31 tons, the replacement gas vehicle end of life at two metric tons, a total of 69.58 metric tons.
01:56:47.240
So, I mean, and if you kind of look at another kind of interesting way to look at this is you've got about 40, it's about 40, let's see, Cybertruck and a gas-powered vehicle really about equal.
01:57:02.940
If you drive it for a lot longer, you can get to the positive side on the Cybertruck.
01:57:07.480
But generally speaking, for the first at least seven years of its life, which is when the average person owns their car for, it's going to be worse for the environment, even without setting it on fire.
01:57:17.140
And then you set it on fire, it gets a lot worse.
01:57:23.240
But secondly, it also takes a lot more to manufacture.
01:57:28.960
Manufacture, more than double as far as CO2 equivalent.
01:57:38.520
I was just blurting out these numbers, and you critically thought of my numbers and then just ask a question.
01:57:44.320
Are the batteries made here or are the batteries made in China?
01:57:48.480
I would say probably, well, knowing the tariff situation, I think the tariffs would hit batteries, wouldn't they?
01:57:55.880
I know Tesla actually did write a letter kind of saying, hey, like, can we not have tariffs on our cars, maybe?
01:58:04.520
I don't know if theirs is built in China, though.
01:58:06.620
I know they have a huge manufacturing here in Texas.
01:58:11.860
But everybody else's battery is made in China, so that's good.
01:58:14.520
Because, I mean, they're so good for the environment over there.
01:58:22.080
You know, batteries and rivers, I bet China does well.
01:58:29.560
I was looking because they did put, and this is Biden, by the way, put 100% tariffs on Chinese manufactured electric vehicles.
01:58:41.640
Because, again, a totally defensible thing for Donald Trump to do, right?
01:58:49.500
He has a real issue with China and believes that they're a major foe.
01:58:53.260
He has been pro-tariffs his entire adult life in the public.
01:58:57.640
Everyone knows he's been for tariffs since the 80s.
01:59:09.400
Because you're telling me the greatest existential threat is not China, but it is global warming.
01:59:17.120
And then China is producing a couple of actually really nice electric vehicles, but many that are terrible and low price, but would be great for the quote unquote environment.
01:59:30.180
How do you know what electric vehicles China is?
01:59:47.360
So these people, I mean, let me, Glenn, do we have sad puppy dog music?
01:59:54.320
Is this going to be, are people going to cry because maybe the Lotus that don't have a Lotus?
02:00:01.880
There are Lotus, there are Lotus owners or people who want to buy Lotuses or Lotus Eye.
02:00:08.520
Lot Eyes, which they want to get the brand new Lotus Elettra.
02:00:14.320
Which is available in theory right now, but can't be imported in the United States because
02:00:20.320
And we're talking about a car that should be like $120,000, but instead is looking at $229,000.
02:00:29.040
It doesn't sound, sounds a little like he's been looking into this.
02:00:33.320
I mean, you know, I'm just saying it's a pretty cool looking car.
02:00:35.920
I was at a friend's place on Saturday and I was just stopping by and seeing he has an
02:00:41.060
exotic car, you know, place and I just love going to look at his cars and I went in and
02:00:46.400
there was a Lotus and I knew Stu was looking at a Lotus and I didn't know anybody about it.
02:00:50.440
I just never seen one and I just, I saw one and I'm like, oh, he's looking for one, but
02:00:55.780
it was the little small sports car, which you're not looking.
02:00:58.180
Cause I thought to myself, this is not going to go over well with Lisa.
02:01:03.600
She's not going to say yes to this, but you were looking at an SUV.
02:01:07.240
They just, they released like that SUV type of thing called the Electra.
02:01:15.480
They're making one special edition just for America.
02:01:22.760
Again, I don't know much about this, but yeah, but they said they were making one just
02:01:25.960
for America and I told him and I said, I know what he makes.
02:01:34.280
I couldn't, I couldn't, I'd like to, but then you'd be in bed giving money to China.
02:01:38.260
You know, what, what, you know, what would I be thinking?
02:01:44.940
I mean, there's a few of them here, but you can't, they won't even sell them to you because
02:01:48.640
of the, of the crazy tariff situation right now.
02:01:54.500
I think there's a much clearer argument for it.
02:01:57.520
I mean, like, you know, when you're talking about, again, a tax is an inefficiency in
02:02:02.380
That's what a tariff is a tax and taxes and inefficiency in the market.
02:02:05.220
So you're creating an inefficiency in the market.
02:02:09.340
Well, it might be to return manufacturing to the United States.
02:02:21.580
Because four o'clock tomorrow is when he's saying tariffs are coming.
02:02:24.580
And they're saying he didn't do it today because of April Fool's Day.
02:02:34.780
We'll come right back and we'll talk about what happens tomorrow at four o'clock.
02:02:39.300
I want to read what a police officer recently wrote into simply safe.
02:02:42.720
He said, I have worked everything from burglars, home evasions, smash and grabs, assaults to horrific murder cases.
02:02:55.220
I can't tell you how much peace of mind I have when I leave my home with my wife there.
02:02:59.900
Traditional security systems usually take action after somebody has broken into the home.
02:03:06.980
But simply safe, state-of-the-art equipment and monitoring plans, they guard live.
02:03:12.820
They guard and protect with their fast protect monitoring before the burglaries even in your home.
02:03:20.140
It could be out on the front lawn and it will talk to a live person will say, hey, dude, what are you doing?
02:03:29.520
Simply safe doesn't do long-term contracts, so you don't have to worry about that.
02:03:33.080
It's unbelievably easy to set it up yourself, but they'd be happy to do it if you want that as well.

You know, the left's got a road map straight off a cliff.
02:04:23.960
There's another great city that starts with a T.
02:04:29.420
Fly to Tampa on Porter Airlines to see why it's so T-rific.
02:04:33.480
On your way there, relax with free beer, wine, and snacks, free, fast-streaming Wi-Fi, and no middle seats.
02:04:40.920
You've never flown to Florida like this before, so you'll land in Tampa ready to explore.

02:04:51.620
Tomorrow, Donald Trump is calling this Liberation Day.
02:05:07.500
If all these things come through and you don't have other countries starting to back up,
02:05:19.400
Tomorrow, 4 p.m. Eastern, he is going to lay out the tariffs.
02:05:25.300
The specifics on the tariffs are uncertain still.
02:05:29.380
He may adopt tomorrow an even more aggressive approach than previously anticipated.
02:05:35.020
Initial discussions suggested tariffs were on 10 to 15 countries,
02:05:41.500
but statements from the White House indicate the measures are going to apply globally,
02:05:49.400
He is expected to implement a 25% tariff on all imported automobiles,
02:05:55.620
trying to get people to move their manufacturing back here.
02:05:59.960
And if that is your goal, that is an effective way.
02:06:03.240
But there's going to be a lot of pain in that goal.
02:06:06.420
I mean, you know, have you even thought of parts?
02:06:12.160
Is that part from overseas or is that part made here?
02:06:17.380
Even if you have an American car, lots of these parts are made in other countries.
02:06:21.240
And this is just going to get harder and harder.
02:06:23.800
I mean, if there's a tariff on any of these cars that you might have,
02:06:32.440
A couple of interesting things about the timing of this.
02:06:34.960
One is they, Donald Trump initially wanted to do it on April 1st,
02:06:39.760
but then was like, I don't really want to make it on April Fool's Day.
02:06:44.940
So that's really actually the reported reason why they moved it to April 2nd.
02:06:49.540
The other thing, as you mentioned, 4 p.m. Eastern.
02:06:52.940
So they're not going to put them on until after the markets are done for the day.
02:07:01.240
Hopefully have a little bit of time to kind of think it over.
02:07:05.240
It's interesting that he does that at 4 o'clock so the markets are closed.
02:07:09.020
That shows you probably not going to be small tariffs.
02:07:14.500
I mean, and if you thought the markets were going to skyrocket because of them,
02:07:17.000
it wouldn't be a consideration to do it at 4 p.m.
02:07:24.900
It's going to be interesting to see how we work all of this out, isn't it?
