  Speaker 1: Kelly Lopler, she's a big Georgia Bulldog fan, and wouldn't
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: you know that this beautiful lady in red sitting next
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: to me happens to be Kelly. And for what it's worth,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: he thinks your Georgia Bulldogs are going to win the
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: national championship. I know that makes you happy.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Well, those are all the magic words. Gunner Stockton, Kirby Smart,
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Go Dawgs. I mean, very exciting way to start the day.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Sid.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: You're welcome. They only won by a 60, I think,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: last week. It was a slow effort. Yeah, they're getting started.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: They're warming up. They've got Western Kentucky this week. That'll
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: be another big win before they actually delve into a
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: very difficult conference schedule, obviously. But he is a great coach,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Kirby Smart.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's brilliant. He's put together all the pieces, and
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: he's got a hard-working team. The work ethic there is unbelievable,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: the culture of the locker room, and then just the fans.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: This is Bulldog Nation between the hedges. It's amazing.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Bulldog Nation, I love that. So would you rather have, Kelly,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: I'm serious about this, okay, the Georgia Bulldogs win a
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: championship this year or small businesses have their best year ever? Well,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: I think we're going to have both.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Oh, both.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: You want everything.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: We want it all, and we can't have it all
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: because we already see record business formation, record employment. So
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: the economy has taken off. And the Bulldogs have taken off.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: You have them both, you do. I mean, the job
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: report that came out last week was pretty inspiring, yes?
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: It was amazing. You look at 162,000 jobs created, nearly
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: tripling the so-called experts forecast, which they're always trying to
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: undermine and underestimate what this economy is doing. But it's
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: on fire.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: It is. But all you hear about from the lunatics
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: on the left that hate you and really hate President Trump,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: it's okay if they hate you. It's a badge of honor.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Exactly right. All they talk about is oil and gas. Now,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Trump has promised a hundred times that that'll go down,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: especially when the war in Iran is over. But, you know,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: even those prices, I think you made this point on
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: CBS a couple of days ago, still lower than they
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: were yesterday. with Joe Biden and there was no conflict, right?
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: The only conflict was the Biden administration's war on main street.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: You know, they had as a matter of policy, $ 5
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: gas four years ago, let's not forget that was on average.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: And that was because they wanted high gas prices to
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: discourage people from buying internal combustion engines. They wanted green
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: new deal for everyone. shoving it down our throats, stopping drilling,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: shutting in production for oil and gas. Now we're energy dominant.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: And President Trump has done it before. He will do
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: it again. Those energy prices will fall after this conflict
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: resolves in a few months. And this is where we're going.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: We're going to a lower energy price environment, lower inflation rate.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: It takes time to turn around four years of disastrous
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Biden policy that was really meant to undermine so many
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: American industries, including energy. They hate farming, they hate manufacturing,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: and they hate energy. And that's stuff that's all going
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: to come back under President Trump.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God, my poor friend Brooke Rollins. They hate her, too? Yeah.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: My dear friend, Brooke Rollins. No, look, it's kind of
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: a policy over there on the left. Just hate the
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Trump administration. But here's the main thing. President Trump is
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: listening to Main Street Americans. This is what he's built
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: every policy around. That's why we have record business formation
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: in America. Over 600,000 businesses formed in July. It's an
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: all-time record in the history of America. That's why we
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: have a record number of Americans working right now. And
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: they are Americans getting American jobs. And that's in stark contrast.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: They're not getting federal government jobs. They're not illegal aliens
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: getting jobs. These are American jobs. And best of all,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: these are skilled trades jobs. We are bringing back skilled trades.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: That's what this president is focused on. And this is
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: just the beginning. This isn't like we're halfway through. Now,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: we are here at halftime at a two-year midterm convention,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: which is kind of halftime for what we're going for.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: But think about what can be done in the next
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: two years.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: If we win, if God forbid they win, they're going
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: to every day impeach him and make him miserable. And
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: he can't do all those great things. And he has
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: done great things for the last two years. And, you know,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: you talk about this, too, when I see you on
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: TV and you look great and sound great. And the
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: stark contrast between free enterprise and capitalism, which is you
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: and President Trump and our beautiful country. And these DSA
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: lunatics like my mayor, that creep, I can't stand him.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: I hate his guts. Mamdani in New York City, or
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: this other psycho El Sayed in Michigan. These people don't
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: want that. I mean, look, you're very good friends, too,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: with John Katsimatidis, my owner. You were in my studios
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: with him just about a week or two ago. He
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: owns great grocery stores in New York. And Mamdani goes, nah,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: I'm taking that business.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Well, he's delivering on his campaign promise to control the
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: means of production. And he's going right at the heart
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: of communities, which are the bodegas, which are the grocers,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: the local... family generational businesses that mean so much to
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: New York. There's thousands of them. They sustain not just
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: communities with food, but so many jobs. And Mondami is saying,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: I'm going to show you our power right now. And
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: he won't stop there. And my message to all across
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: America is if this isn't isolated to New York, this
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: is coming to a community near you if we don't
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: draw the line in November. And you see it everywhere,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: whether it's Al Sayed or You know, in Georgia, we
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: have an election. John Ossoff, he votes a hundred. You know,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: he's he's like the kind of southern version of Mondami
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: and Al Sayed. And they all say the same thing.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: You know, Tallarico saying one thing and then saying, oh,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: I didn't say that.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: It's different.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: It's just these the smiling socialists.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Is what I call it. They're all the same. So
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I know you got like nine of the visa do,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: but I got to ask you this. Small businesses rely
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: on money, right, and the banks. And I've asked you
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: this a few times before when you were on this program.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: And for a long time, it was very, very difficult
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: for small businesses to get loans, get money from banks,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: and really have a good shot at starting a small business,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: let alone succeeding. Is that not the case anymore?
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Well, I am here in my personal capacity, but I
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: can just tell you from an economic perspective, President Trump
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: has prioritized Main Street. and getting big government out of
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: the way. And that means ending DEI handouts, ending ESG,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: ending all this crazy stuff that was costing small business
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: and big business so much. And what do I call businesses?
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: I call them employers. Because at the end of the day,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: they are the jobs engine in this country.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: There's no other way.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: We cannot employ everyone at the federal government, nor should we,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: and we should continue to shrink the size of the
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: federal government. So by putting more money in the hands
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: of the private sector, That's a virtuous cycle that just creates,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: and that's what we see in this boom, that economists
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: are going to continue to underestimate and have doomsayers everywhere saying, oh,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: tariffs are going to destroy the country. We've had 80
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: stock market records. I mean, capital is flowing. The United
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: States of America is the only game in town on
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: a world stage, and that's because of President Trump.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: He's making money. So in the final 60 seconds, I
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: was on the floor last night watching them. I saw
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: all you guys. You had the spotlight on you. Yeah, J.D. Vance,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Mike Johnson, you, Dr. Oz, Scott Besson, another great guy.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: All these amazing people. And I really thought he was
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: on fire last night. He brought his A-game. I keep
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: saying this morning, I think he's still talking. Although I'm
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: going to speak to him in about 10 minutes. What
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: did you think of President Trump and the energy in
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: this building last night?
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Well, it was another epic night. You think back to
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: the Milwaukee Convention and the energy with which we left
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: and the fact that we not only have a great
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: time and it's entertaining and fun and the president does
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: a great job managing the weave, he brings it right back,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: but he also has incredible substance. He's talking about actual
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: policies we have already delivered on 19 months in And
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: you think about what can be possible in the next
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: two years if we can get through November with wins
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: on both sides. And I think we absolutely will. So
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: I think it's incredibly, the promise is there. It's exciting.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: And this is a president that works so hard for
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: the American people every day. Like he said, I don't
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: have to be here, but he loves the American people.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: He wants everyone to live the American dream.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: He really does. And Mike Johnson and John Thune have
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: the work cut out for him. As do you, but
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: you do a spectacular job, and I always love when
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: you come on the program. And I got you some
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Georgia Bulldog talk in there, too, so how about that?
• 8:15

• 8:15
