00:00:00.000
All right, let's go to this one. Guess what? The president wants to send you $2,000.
00:00:03.920
He says they'll issue $2,000 tariff dividends to all except high-income earning people.
00:00:08.540
Rob, has that been announced or no, that he's going to be doing that?
00:00:14.980
So let me read this to you for some of you guys, if you haven't received it yet,
00:00:22.420
President Donald Trump on Sunday gave his cell phone number to call for the $2,000 tariff payments
00:00:27.100
that at any point you can text them. That's a joke, folks. I'm not giving you his phone number.
00:00:32.180
Claim the dividend check of at least $2,000 will be paid to Americans except for high-income earners,
00:00:37.520
saying the country is now wealthy as a result of its tariff policies.
00:00:43.980
We are now the richest, most respected country in the world with almost no inflation and a record stock market.
00:00:49.580
401ks are higher than ever. We are taking in trillions of dollars
00:00:52.540
and soon we'll be beginning paying down our enormous $37 trillion debt.
00:00:58.620
Record investment in the U.S. plants and factories are going all over the place.
00:01:01.960
A dividend of at least $2,000 a person, not including high-income people, will be paid to everyone.
00:01:10.660
I wonder when. Can I give a guess on when I think the payment will be made?
00:01:21.240
In an ABC interview this week on Sunday, Treasurer said Scott Besson said that he has not spoken to the president
00:01:27.480
A $2,000 dividend could come in a lot of forms, in a lot of ways.
00:01:31.240
Besson told Anchor Stepanopoulos, you know, it could be just the tax decreases that we're going to see
00:01:37.820
in the president's agenda, you know, no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security,
00:01:47.420
Well, I think it's very important, and I think, you know, people that want to call that number 1-800-86-NANCY,
00:01:53.300
to put their name on the list, you know, I think it's, stepping back a minute,
00:01:59.540
I think it's important because he said there's going to be a benefit for all Americans.
00:02:03.800
And I don't think this is George McGovern's $100, you know, trick that didn't work.
00:02:09.440
I don't think this is the stimulus package that Biden put out where he basically printed money,
00:02:17.080
and don't throw the comments out, I know we don't print anymore, but issuing digital currency.
00:02:22.800
I think this is real, and I think he's trying to help people, and I think he's throwing in that little bit.
00:02:36.240
His main argument, though, seems to be that it's about taking in the revenue,
00:02:39.400
and he also promised this morning a dividend of at least $2,000 a person,
00:02:45.780
How is he going to pay that dividend of $2,000 a person?
00:02:52.000
And the revenue occurs early on, and then as we rebalance and the jobs come home,
00:03:02.560
Are you worried that the president's focus on revenue, though,
00:03:04.580
which is what he's been focusing on in his public statements,
00:03:06.920
is going to hurt your argument at the Supreme Court?
00:03:10.040
It's completely consistent that the revenues come in at the beginning.
00:03:13.880
Then as we rebalance, which is the goal of this, bring back high-paid manufacturing jobs to the U.S.,
00:03:21.200
then it will then morph into domestic tax revenues.
00:03:25.900
You know, President Trump has consistently fought for the American worker,
00:03:29.760
and we are seeing trillions of investments in the U.S.
00:03:33.160
that would not have occurred without the tariffs.
00:03:36.300
The other thing, too, is the authority that he uses is called IEPA.
00:03:45.300
He got the Chinese to the table to negotiate on stopping the precursors for fentanyl drugs.
00:03:52.600
If fentanyl, hundreds of thousands of Americans dying every year is not an emergency, what is?
00:03:59.360
On October 8th, the Chinese threatened to put export controls.
00:04:03.880
So do you think good idea or bad idea is sent $2,000?
00:04:20.100
Yeah, I think anything a politician does can be said to be buying votes.
00:04:25.680
But there's fair ways to do it, and there's not fair ways to do it.
00:04:28.700
Because that's what they're going to criticize it for.
00:04:31.200
You know, he's justāand all these years, they made fun of what Democrats do, that all
00:04:35.320
they do is buy his votes, and then at the end of the day, that's what Republicans did.
00:04:39.700
Look, you go on TV with George Suckin' Octopus, and you know, you're going to get that response.
00:04:50.860
It's going to beāyou're going to get hit either way.
00:04:53.500
You know, it'sāyou do it, and you're buying votes.
00:04:57.140
You don't do it, and you'reāyou don't care about the little guy.
00:05:05.440
How does Stephanopoulos even have aālike, if you were sued for however many millionā
00:05:12.340
Because I would have been like, yo, bro, you're not going to be in front of the camera.
00:05:18.280
He's another one of these guys with the big contracts that are getting truncated, and the
00:05:22.980
contracts are going to be lower, or he's not going to be in the chair.
00:05:27.480
Tag this, and let's go 12-31 of next year and go see what has happened.
00:05:33.260
And I'm going to show you what's happened in the media landscape.
00:05:48.500
I'm telling you today, I'm not functioning normally today.
00:05:52.560
You're going to be unburdened by what could have been.
00:05:54.160
Do I think that they should send $2,000 stimulus checks to people?
00:06:10.140
These stimmy checks where you're sending people $500, $1,400, $3,000.
00:06:15.480
You're making the country broke, and you're making broke people feel somewhat wealthy for about five seconds.
00:06:23.560
And then they go spend that money, and it circulates back to the economy, and that broke person who doesn't know how to spend their money stays broke, and the money flows where?
00:06:46.340
It's about we're $37 freaking trillion in debt, and you want to give every American $2,000?
00:06:55.600
The challenge with that is, as great of a common-sense message it is, I get it.
00:07:07.660
The challenge is, you've already brainwashed everybody into where we are today with the debt system.
00:07:18.900
Right after we got off the gold, it's where we are today.
00:07:25.800
But for somebody to come in to want to pay off the $37 trillion of debt, you almost have to be a five-term president.
00:07:40.620
You need 20 years to be able to put that together.
00:07:47.060
Next guys come in, they spend the money, and then they win.
00:07:58.880
And it's like the back and forth, and you know what happens every single time?
00:08:02.100
Debt increases, whether it's a Republican or a Democrat.
00:08:05.140
Now, the difference here is, this tariff thing is so sexy to me.
00:08:09.760
Let me tell you, it's so exciting and sexy to me.
00:08:12.240
Because I think it's a real way for us to pay off some of that debt.
00:08:17.980
But unfortunately, you know, if we were to get...
00:08:23.900
Tom, if we were to get a land, okay, real nice mountains, on the water, both sides, and
00:08:32.860
you were giving us 10 million people, you know what we would do, Tom?
00:08:50.300
Decisions are going to be made by people that contribute to society.
00:08:53.820
That is the biggest problem we have in America, because common sense policies won't permanently
00:09:00.280
win because the way you get to vote in America.
00:09:05.260
I hope this doesn't upset you, but we should put the link to something you did, I think it's
00:09:10.040
now seven years ago, which was in the analysis of who gets to vote and how many votes you
00:09:15.480
You know, it was a lightning rod at the time, but maybe put the link in the comments here
00:09:19.400
if people go back and look at that, because it talked about, hey, stakeholders and contributors,
00:09:27.100
Well, let me tell you, if I put that up there, here's what I made.
00:09:35.380
So, if for those of you guys that are on the PBD Podcast Circle, if you're in it, that
00:09:52.560
But I'm going to find an old, old, old one where...
00:09:58.720
I did, but it's going to piss off so many people.
00:10:03.620
And remember, I shot this video April 15th of 2014.
00:10:34.500
And it was 4 in the afternoon after you'd written the check, so you're in kind of a bad mood.
00:10:44.120
So, if you want to see it, Rob, give him the link to the circle, and I'm going to put that link.
00:10:49.060
I just want to make sure we made it unlisted and not private, so I don't want it to be...
00:10:56.080
If Humberto's listening, Humberto, if you can make it unlisted, that will be great, and then just text me back the video.
00:11:03.680
Hey, Pat, just really fast about the tariffs, Tom.
00:11:06.780
Like, again, every single thing that the president has been trying to do, they have to oppose it.
00:11:15.540
Didn't it go to the Supreme Court that they're trying to fight to reverse what he's doing and bringing in billions of dollars every single month?
00:11:23.760
But you morons are out there like, no, we don't...
00:11:27.100
This is unconstitutional, and they're literally...
00:11:30.020
I think November 5th they heard oral arguments about it.
00:11:33.260
They're trying to reverse the tariffs where this freaking guy is trying to make us money.
00:11:40.360
The Democrats want the Supreme Court to say you didn't have the authority to do that, so the tariffs get pulled back, so the economy becomes really worse,
00:11:47.480
and it goes from almost crap to complete crap in time for the elections next year.
00:11:57.880
And by the way, to 350 million of you, to hell with you guys.
00:12:08.860
And what we want to do for the veterans who are watching this, we have a whole new series of merch for veterans.
00:12:14.900
Rob, if you can zoom in into some of these guys here.
00:12:17.280
Whether you're Army, we got an Army Future Looks Bright.
00:12:20.940
We got, go a little bit low, Rob, if you could.
00:12:25.380
That right there, the Army Future Looks Bright patch is insane.
00:12:30.120
You know, Air Force, Navy, keep going, keep going, keep going.
00:12:41.400
On the front of it, it says Future Looks Bright.
00:12:48.840
It's one of our most, I think it's the top five most reviewed hats of all time that you have right there.
00:13:21.220
And 10% of every purchase made will go to charities that are related to folks who are serving.
00:13:30.100
And we have a handful of them that we're working with.
00:13:31.920
Trust me, we're very selective on which one we go through.
00:13:34.780
10% of whatever purchase is made will go to different charities out there.
00:13:39.560
And if you use the code VETERAN, you'll get a 10% discount as well.
00:13:43.380
Some of those items are, you know, limited supply that we ordered.
00:13:47.660
So be sure to go out there and place the order for yourself.
00:13:50.260
And if it's not you, you have a friend that went to the Air Force, the Army, the Marines, the Navy.
00:13:55.340
You know, gift them something from this that watches the podcast.
