  Speaker 3: one And I'm looking forward to your calls. I've had
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: the pleasure of talking with Pat in Arizona, Tony and
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: Canada and a few other great people. Job John Jacob
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: Jingiol Himmerschmid from Twitter, he calls in. We had a
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: lot of good people have called it, and many more
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: that I just can't think of at the top of
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: my head. But I want to say that it seems
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: like the page is turning in Minnesota. Right, Well, what
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: do you mean by that, Well, it seems like the fight,
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: the fight is I don't know if it's I'm gonna
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: say it's over, but it seems to have definitely changed.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Right the back and forth with Mayor Freyfry and of
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: course and Tim Walls ed Trompito picked up the phone,
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: got on the phone with him and said, hey, let's talk,
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: and talking they did. Now, I did not have a
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: chance to speak with President Trump, but my buddy, my
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: former colleague from WABC Radio New York City, Sid Rosenberg,
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: did and I got a clip of that, and it's
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: it's a really good conversation.
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: Stick with me here, don't go anywhere. Check this out.
• 2:03
  Speaker 6: But I had two very good talks. I had Jacob
• 2:06
  Speaker 6: Pry and I had Governor Waltz, And I mean, they
• 2:11
  Speaker 6: were great calls. So let's see how they reported. But
• 2:14
  Speaker 6: they were very nice calls, very respectful.
• 2:16
  Speaker 7: So is there a possibility President Trump of some type
• 2:19
  Speaker 7: of compromise. I read that some of the guard we
• 2:22
  Speaker 7: leave in the state of Minnesota, some type of compromise
• 2:25
  Speaker 7: to I guess make those guys feel like they're in charge.
• 2:30
  Speaker 7: God help us.
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well, well we're I think so, yeah, I mean
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: I think so what we need is there criminals. You know,
• 2:36
  Speaker 6: they have criminals, and all I said, just give us
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: your criminals. And if you give us the criminals, it
• 2:41
  Speaker 6: all goes away. They're there to pick up murders. I
• 2:44
  Speaker 6: don't know if you saw it, but it was a
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: couple of days ago now and said crime is the
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: lowest in the history of our country, the recorded history
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: of our country. That's a big statement. That's because of us.
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: That's because we go into cities and towns. Usually were embraced.
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: Sometimes we're not.
• 2:59
  Speaker 8: Chicago goes like.
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: Pulling Keeeth with Pritzker and with the mayor, the mayor
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: of Chicago, low Iq person and usually we're embraced, but
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: sometimes we're not. And when we're not, it just makes
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: it harder.
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: It just makes it harder.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Again, that's President trump ed Trompito than all this magnus
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: the forty fifth, forty seventh president of these United States.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: El Trumpito on with sid Rosenberg on the WBC and
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: he says it was a good call. Listen and this
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: is again another example of Trump negotiating. Right, So Trump says, okay,
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: let me get the criminals.
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: No, go pound salt. Oh okay, I'll go pound salt.
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: Send in Gregory Bovino, send in the lean, green board
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: tack machine.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Right, and they send in these really tough embrace and
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: they they do what they gotta do, and they're saying no, no,
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: no mas, no mos. Right now, listen, you have to
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: be willing to play hardball when you negotiate. You have
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: to be willing to walk away from the table and
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: actually walk away from the table. That's a reality. So
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: all I can say to that is good for Trump.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: Seems like a win to me.
• 4:10
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: What I hear him saying is they've agreed we'll give
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: you the criminals. Just get out, get out. We'll give
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: you the criminals.
• 4:18
  Speaker 9: Now.
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: If that's true, that's great. Now.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: There's other reports saying that Greg Bovino, the head of
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Border Patrol, that he was asked to step aside, demoted,
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: relieved of command.
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: I don't think any of that's true.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: I can almost guarantee you that Greg Bovino is gonna
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: go somewhere else and continue this good cop, bad cop
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: that he's playing with Tom Homan.
• 4:41
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: To me, it seems like this is a win for
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: the Trump administration. But of course Rachel Maddow she says, no,
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: it's not. And I'll get to her in a second.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: But I just wanted to say that there's some beef
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: saying that there's a little bit of beef between Christy
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: nome Ptel even Scott Bessen not being on the same page.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: And this is reported by town hall dot com by
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: Matt Vespa, that they're not on the same page as
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: the rest of the administration, and those things happen. They
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: shouldn't happen, but they do. I mean, I worked in government.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: There were times where you know, half the team was
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: going this way to the other half was going that
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: way very few times, very few times. But it happens,
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: happens in many organizations. Has nothing to do with government,
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: per se. Right, I've worked in radio organizations where you've had,
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: you know, similar shifts. Sometimes all you need is one
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: or two people. You could have the entire organization pulling
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: in one direction of one or two people that are
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: able to amass the power or the gain the influence
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: through like a CEO position or some other leadership role
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: and they can start to balance, you know, and shift
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: the balance of power. That's just that's the dynamic of power.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: That's how it works. But anyway, this is reported by
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: Breaking nine to one one on Twitter. Gregory Bovino removed
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: from his role as Border Patrol Commander at Large and
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: this is let me see, Oh here we go. DHS
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: Secretary Christy Nome and Corey Lewindowinski at risk of losing
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: their jobs, as being reported by the Atlantic. Then you
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: have he's relieved of his role as commander at large,
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: but not as chief of El Centro sector. Jenny Tare
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: reported that on Twitter, Jenny Tair is actually a good
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: reporter from the New York Post. I don't know if
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: she's at New euro Post anymore, but I know that
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: she was at New York Post before and I have
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: followed her work. Let's see who else we got here
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: relieved of command? So again, I don't know all of this.
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: Here.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: Ali Bradley TV was reporting that one, I do know
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: Tom Holman's going in there and what a direct line
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: to the president. And Jacob frey Fry says okay, and
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: so does Tim Wall. So are they losing? Is the
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: Trump team losing and are the bad guys winning? Well,
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: Rachel Maddow says that is the case. She claims that
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: the bad guys are winning her team. You know, the
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: bad guys. I say they're the bad guys because they're
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: the ones that are, you know, protecting criminals, harboring criminals,
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: not allowing ICE to deport people. But here's what she
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: had to say on ms NOW, the new name of MSNBC,
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: last night on her show, Check this Out.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: They went big with this on their own terms. Nobody
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: asked for this, Nobody put them up to it. They
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: decided to launch this in order to show off what
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: they could do, and now they are in full retreat
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: with it being viewed both as a practical debacle and
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: a moral debacle, and they are paying a considerable political
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: price for it. If you were one of millions of
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Americans who protested Ice out of Minneapolis, you should know
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: tonight you are winning this thing and is worth understanding
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: the power of what you have done.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: Well, the power of what you've done. I guess she
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: didn't hear what the appeals court had to say, because
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: the appeals court said no Ice is free to detain,
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: arrest Pepper spray Minnesota agitators. The Appeals Court raised concerns
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: that the injunction that was filed functioned as a de
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: facto nationwide universal injunction by extending protections beyond the six
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: named plaintiffs to a broad, uncertified class future protesters and observers.
• 9:02
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: That was what we talked about.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: When we spoke last with with our legal eagle as
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna call her, Sarah partial Perry, who really explained
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: that to us and explain it really well. And maybe
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: we should get back with her to see you, you know,
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: get an update with her. I've been just so caught
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: up in the news lately, I haven't really put too
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: many guests on the radar. But we are going to
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: speak with Steve Moore, by the way, Steve Moore, who
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: is an economist to Ronald Reagan, economist to Donald Trump
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: both of their presidencies. He'll be joining us to give
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: us his reaction to President Trump's speech in Iowa today.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: But I wanted to do just a little bit on
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: this Minnesota stuff because I know you're all Minnesota out
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: right now. But that was it, and this was a
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: big court case that happened today. Regarding Minnesota, which I
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: think also kind of gave you the perspective change from
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: Mayor Free Fry and from Tim Walls.
• 10:01
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: Big victory on Monday from the Federal Appeals Court. Given
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: that key legal victory, this is in the post millennial
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: putting a hold on restrictions that limited the US and
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: ICE Immigration Customs Enforcements agents on how they could respond
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: to protesters and observers during immigration enforcement operations in Minnesota.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: In the brief order, a three judge panel of US
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: Court of Appeals judges for the Eighth Circuit stayed a
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: preliminary injunction, which a stay is when you know, they
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: say it's you know, it's whatever, it's blocked. I guess right,
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: it's a stay. It's like what they do in bankruptcy
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: or whatever. It's one of those legal terms that I
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: don't know a whole lot, but I know it doesn't
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: mean they went forward. It meant it's over all right,
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: it's struck down, and good good on them. The injunction
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: curtailed ICE agent's ability to arrest, attain, pepper spray, or
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: otherwise act against protesters, and they had no support from
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: the police. Well, guess what happened after the talk with
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: police with I'm sorry with the mayor and the governor,
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: the state police. Minnesota State Police were out there assisting Ice,
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: keeping the protesters at bay. I've been talking about that
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: for two or three weeks. Now, good, that's where they're
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: supposed to be. We needed the Minnesota cops to step up.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: I said that on Newsmax a couple of weeks ago
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: when I was on there. This weekend, I did a
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: couple of hits with the Wendy Bell Show and John
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: Tobacco's show, Wise Guys, really really good stuff. If you
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: caught those good If you didn't, you missed it that
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: it was really good stuff.
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: Anyway.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: So, while Rachel Maddow was saying that if you're out
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: there protesting, you're winning, to me, it seems like you're losing.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: Trump's got the Minnesota State Police out there, He's got
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: the mayor on his side. Now he's got Mayor Frey
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: Fry of all people. I don't know what kind of
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: win that is, but anyway, enough Minnesota. I want to
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: talk about the economy. President Trump headed over to Iowa
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: today to talk about the economy. He talked about no
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: tax on tips. He talked about healthcare. He talked about
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: other ways of really leveraging the economy to make it boom.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: We're going to talk again with economist Steve Moore from
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: the Committee to Unleash Prosperity, former White House economist to
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: Ronald Reagan, former White House economists to President Trump, and
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: he's coming up with us in the next one.
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: Don't go anywhere. I'm Rich Feltes, this is America. This
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: is America.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: President Roman take Trump, mister President, welcome to the program
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: Sir well.
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: Thank you, Rich and thank you for everything.
• 12:40
  Speaker 10: I know you very well and I have I listened,
• 12:42
  Speaker 10: but I have a lot of people that.
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: Listen and they love your show and I appreciate it
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: very much.
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: All Right, amigos, welcome back. Rich Veld.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: That's with you, and I want to bring in special guests.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: But before I do, I want you to hear what
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: President Trump had to say today.
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: He was in Iowa talking about a.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: Number of issues, not the least of which was his
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: economic policy. And on the economic policy, he's done really
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: really well. I would say he's really kind of sparked
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: an interest with Americans, in particular with respect to how
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: Americans are going to buy.
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: Homes to become rich again.
• 13:20
  Speaker 10: According to Press, I'm also making it a lot easier
• 13:24
  Speaker 10: to buy. I think called the house the American dream.
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: Last week I.
• 13:28
  Speaker 10: Signed an executive order to ban Wall Street and large
• 13:31
  Speaker 10: institutional investors from buying up all the single family homes
• 13:35
  Speaker 10: in America because we don't want America to become a
• 13:40
  Speaker 10: nation of renters. And that's what they force stopped. I mean,
• 13:43
  Speaker 10: you have these companies, they owned five thousand houses, twenty
• 13:47
  Speaker 10: thousand and one has hundreds of thousands of houses.
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: We don't want that.
• 13:52
  Speaker 10: We want people to be able to buy houses. At
• 13:54
  Speaker 10: the same time, I want to keep the value of
• 13:57
  Speaker 10: the house very high. Of those people who already own
• 14:02
  Speaker 10: a house, We're not forgetting about them because they don't
• 14:05
  Speaker 10: necessarily match those two things. You know, we get the
• 14:08
  Speaker 10: prices down, well, what does that do? Very important to me.
• 14:12
  Speaker 10: More important to me is, you know, people have become
• 14:15
  Speaker 10: rich by owning the home.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: We're going to people have become rich by owning their home.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: That is the American dream. I want to bring in
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: former White House Economic advisor Steve Moore, both to President
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: Trump and the President Reagan.
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: Steve Moore, welcome back.
• 14:31
  Speaker 8: Sir Hi Rich, great to be with you. Thanks for
• 14:33
  Speaker 8: having me.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: Oh my pleasure. So now the President mentioned a number
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: of things today on his I guess he's come back
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: to it, right, we're gonna call it because he's he's
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: out there like he's a campaigning for president again, and
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: he's gonna need that, I think politically speaking for the enthusiasm,
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: they're going to need to hold on to political power
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: in the House and the Senate. But what are your
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: thoughts on this executive order? Is this politics or is
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: this a real thing? I know that there was you know,
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: we talked about this last summer and even last year,
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: the institutional investors buying up some homes, and I believe
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: you told me it's happening, but it wasn't happening in
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: a large degree. Talk to about the impact of this
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: from your perspective.
• 15:12
  Speaker 8: Well, let me just start by saying, Rich that you know,
• 15:15
  Speaker 8: we have an absolutely booming economy right now. I'm just
• 15:19
  Speaker 8: so optimistic about where America is right now. And I
• 15:21
  Speaker 8: know I'm somewhat flummoxed because I saw these latest consumer
• 15:26
  Speaker 8: confidence numbers and they are way down, and I don't
• 15:30
  Speaker 8: quite understand this disconnect between all of the economic statistics
• 15:36
  Speaker 8: which are so positive, you know, declining inflation, big gains
• 15:40
  Speaker 8: and incomes for the vast majority of American families. We're
• 15:45
  Speaker 8: seeing you know, gas prices now a lot of parts
• 15:49
  Speaker 8: of the country down to two dollars and fifty cents
• 15:51
  Speaker 8: at a gallon. You know, four to one K plans
• 15:54
  Speaker 8: are doing great, et cetera, et cetera, and yet you know,
• 15:57
  Speaker 8: people are unhappy now. Trump is very, very active on
• 16:00
  Speaker 8: the economy, as you know, and I don't always you know,
• 16:06
  Speaker 8: I've worked with Donald Trump. I'm a great admirer. Is
• 16:09
  Speaker 8: I agree with about eighty percent of the things he
• 16:11
  Speaker 8: wants to do. I'm not a big fan of this
• 16:14
  Speaker 8: idea of restricting who can buy housing. I don't think
• 16:18
  Speaker 8: that the institutional investors are the real problem here. I
• 16:21
  Speaker 8: think the real problem is the you know, a lot
• 16:25
  Speaker 8: of the restrictions at the local level, you know, zoning
• 16:31
  Speaker 8: issues and so on, and restrictions. I'm building multi family housing.
• 16:36
  Speaker 8: So I don't think that this is the right solution
• 16:39
  Speaker 8: to that problem.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: So are you saying that it's not the right solution.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: Are you saying that it's not really a problem.
• 16:46
  Speaker 8: It's a good question. So it depends on who you are.
• 16:51
  Speaker 8: You know, well, let me say this. I'm sixty five.
• 16:56
  Speaker 8: So one of the principal assets that my wife and
• 16:58
  Speaker 8: I have is our house. So the fact that our
• 17:01
  Speaker 8: house is more valuable is a good thing. It's not
• 17:03
  Speaker 8: a bad thing, right, I mean, of course, it means
• 17:05
  Speaker 8: that we have grained equity. And so now, if you're
• 17:10
  Speaker 8: a young person in your thirties you want to buy
• 17:12
  Speaker 8: a house, high priced housing is a bad thing. But
• 17:14
  Speaker 8: I just want to let people know that every time
• 17:17
  Speaker 8: housing values go up, there's a winner and a loser,
• 17:19
  Speaker 8: and the winners are, you know, older people who own homes,
• 17:22
  Speaker 8: and the losers tend to be the younger people. Although
• 17:26
  Speaker 8: the younger people are going to inherit the housing eventually,
• 17:29
  Speaker 8: so they will benefit from arising home value as well.
• 17:33
  Speaker 8: But we do need more affordable housing. I mean, I
• 17:35
  Speaker 8: have two sons that are in the early thirties. They're
• 17:38
  Speaker 8: doing fine, but they can't afford to buy a house
• 17:41
  Speaker 8: right now. I bought my first house at age thirty one,
• 17:44
  Speaker 8: a little condo, but I got started and then you
• 17:47
  Speaker 8: build up.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, listen, I bought a condo when I was twenty.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: I'm going to say maybe twenty four twenty maybe for
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: you and I did great on this, Steve.
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: I did great.
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: I bought in a play Union City, New Jersey, and
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: you walk outside you could see the Empire State Building.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: That's how close we were to the Hudson River. But
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: what really worked well for me just this happenstance, since
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: you brought it up. I was a block away from
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: an old Roy rogers Hamburger place, which happened to be
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: yeah remember that. And it happened to be built on
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: top of an old train tunnel that they used to
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: use to transport different materials back in World War Two. Well,
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: fast forward a couple of years. The government decided to
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: use that as a new Jersey Transit light rail system,
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: and they put a train a block away from my house.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: And when they did that, everything jumped up. I made
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: almost one hundred grand. I sold that place within like
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: two or three years and moved to the suburbs. So, yeah,
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: that was a thing for me, buying a place for
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: less than two hundred K when I was in my twenties. Now,
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: I don't think I could do that now, It's almost
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: an impossibility for anybody in that age group.
• 19:00
  Speaker 8: Well, there's also a problem in that age group too,
• 19:02
  Speaker 8: is that the Boss Returnal is reported a month or
• 19:06
  Speaker 8: so ago that young people are getting married at an
• 19:10
  Speaker 8: older age. So it used to be, you know, the
• 19:12
  Speaker 8: average woman would marry at twenty twenty one, twenty two
• 19:15
  Speaker 8: years old. Now the average age for a woman to
• 19:18
  Speaker 8: get married is like thirty. And so my point is
• 19:21
  Speaker 8: that it's easier to buy a home if you have
• 19:24
  Speaker 8: a couple. You know, if you're a couple, have two
• 19:26
  Speaker 8: people hoarding an income rather than one. So there are
• 19:28
  Speaker 8: a lot of social factors behind this as well. But
• 19:30
  Speaker 8: the most important thing is we want people's incomes to rise.
• 19:33
  Speaker 8: We want to make sure that we have enough affordable
• 19:37
  Speaker 8: housing for everyone. Now I'm on the board of a
• 19:39
  Speaker 8: company called light Speed. I don't know if you've heard
• 19:42
  Speaker 8: of this.
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it took a look, you had a really cool
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: map a while back.
• 19:46
  Speaker 8: Yeah, Well, they make we build houses with robots, and
• 19:51
  Speaker 8: so we will be able to build houses at forty
• 19:53
  Speaker 8: percent lower cost when we want to get this scaled,
• 19:57
  Speaker 8: and that will bring Certainly, if the lost of building
• 20:00
  Speaker 8: a house is lower than the cost of buying a
• 20:02
  Speaker 8: house is.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: Lower, well, one would hope, now right, one would hope
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: this is the big question. So do you you agree
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: that the issue is more affordability and I guess income
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: and marriage rates, and I think all of that is
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: accurate than institutional investors buying property.
• 20:24
  Speaker 8: Okay, Bay the way rich. Only only two to three
• 20:30
  Speaker 8: of the homes on the market are bought by institutional investors,
• 20:34
  Speaker 8: so they can't really account for the doubling and the
• 20:37
  Speaker 8: value of homes over the last twenty years. They're a
• 20:40
  Speaker 8: small component of that.
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: Oh sure, yeah, I think that.
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: I think the word on the street, you know, and
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: when I say the street, I mean X and Instagram
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: and places like that is there's video after video out
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: there saying that Black Rock and Vanguard are are buying
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: up every last single family home and that you won't
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: be able to live in this single family home type
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: of neighborhood unless you rent one from them or to
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: one of the fifteen minute cities they want to build,
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: which they are building. I know they're building one in Paramus,
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: New Jersey, near the Garden State Plaza. And there's a
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: lot of questions about this type of living where you
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: don't have to go anywhere because everything's at your fingertips.
• 21:19
  Speaker 8: Well, I love me say something about that if I
• 21:21
  Speaker 8: may rich sure, I had not even heard that heard
• 21:23
  Speaker 8: that term until about a week ago, and now I
• 21:27
  Speaker 8: hear you're the second person I've used that term fifteen
• 21:30
  Speaker 8: minute city. And this is part of the I don't
• 21:34
  Speaker 8: like the idea, because what this really is is a
• 21:36
  Speaker 8: war against the automobile. You know, the left hates cars exactly,
• 21:39
  Speaker 8: so they don't want people to get in towers and
• 21:42
  Speaker 8: drive to where they want, or buses even, and so
• 21:46
  Speaker 8: they want people using mass transit, or they want you know,
• 21:50
  Speaker 8: people walking to work. And I'm like, wait a minute,
• 21:53
  Speaker 8: you know what's wrong with driving a car.
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: To work one hundred percent.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: And that's why when people hear this stuff, at least
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: put folks on the right side of the aisle. They say,
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: hold on a second, this isn't good if Vanguard and
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: Black rocker buying up all the single family homes in
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: the suburbs and they're going to force us to live
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: in one of these fifteen minute cities.
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: So I think that's.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: Why, you know, that's the base that Trump is playing
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: to here when he's saying, look, I'm going to help
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: you own a home, and the reality is, and you
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that was
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: a staple, and this is when you were in the
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: White House with him of twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen. This
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: is a staple of the first Trump administration was how
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: many people became homeowners.
• 22:35
  Speaker 8: Well, people are angry. I'm going to put this in
• 22:37
  Speaker 8: a bigger context, if I may, right, which is that
• 22:40
  Speaker 8: people are angry about prices. You know, people are My
• 22:44
  Speaker 8: wife is angry every time she comes back from the
• 22:46
  Speaker 8: grocery store, and that's a very common thing. People are
• 22:48
  Speaker 8: angry about the cost of healthcare. People are angry about
• 22:52
  Speaker 8: the we've just been talking about, you know, housing costs.
• 22:55
  Speaker 8: And yet I want to make sure people understand two things.
• 22:58
  Speaker 8: Number one, eighty six percent of the increase in the
• 23:01
  Speaker 8: prices that people are angry about happened under Guess.
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: What President Joe Biden.
• 23:06
  Speaker 8: Joe Biden. So you're right to be angry, but don't
• 23:09
  Speaker 8: be angry about Trump. He's bringing the inflation right down.
• 23:12
  Speaker 8: Second of all, guess what states are the most expensive
• 23:15
  Speaker 8: states to live in. Oh, let's be New York, California,
• 23:19
  Speaker 8: New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, my home state of Illinois. What
• 23:22
  Speaker 8: are those states alli in common? Oh, they're high tax
• 23:25
  Speaker 8: high regulation the states that have.
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: Raised the cost of everything one hundred percent. I agree
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: with that.
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: Now, you mentioned two things that I think are important
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: when your wife is upset about the grocery store, so
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: am I. The cost of beef is incredible, And after this,
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: I want to talk about healthcare, but let's talk about
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: beef because this one. And look, I love El Trumpito
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: as much as the next guy, or at least as
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: much as you do, but this is one of those areas.
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: I'm going to say, this went up since he's taken office,
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: and I would have hoped that the deal with Milay
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: would have helped offset that, but it doesn't seem to
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: have happened, at least not yet.
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: Your thoughts.
• 24:03
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, beef is one of the things that's
• 24:05
  Speaker 8: gone up more in price than just about anything. By
• 24:07
  Speaker 8: the way, you know, I said about the cost of steak,
• 24:11
  Speaker 8: you might want to buy a pork chop because pork
• 24:14
  Speaker 8: prices have actually gone down, whereas these prices have gone up,
• 24:17
  Speaker 8: egg prices have gone down. So maybe you might want
• 24:20
  Speaker 8: to make an omelet. And I think this is part
• 24:22
  Speaker 8: of the problem with this whole argument about affordability. People
• 24:24
  Speaker 8: are looking focusing on the things that are going up
• 24:27
  Speaker 8: in price, not the things that are stable or going
• 24:30
  Speaker 8: down in price. And you know, there are a lot
• 24:31
  Speaker 8: of things like that actually have fallen in price, including
• 24:35
  Speaker 8: airline tickets have fallen in price, hotels, motels have fallen
• 24:39
  Speaker 8: in price, TVs, computers have followen in price. So I
• 24:43
  Speaker 8: don't know. Maybe it's just human nature that we get
• 24:46
  Speaker 8: upset about the things that are more expensive and don't
• 24:48
  Speaker 8: pay What about gasoline, My goodness, gasoline was for fifty
• 24:53
  Speaker 8: cents a gallon under Biden. Now it's down to I
• 24:56
  Speaker 8: think nationally about two seventy ninety gallons. So I don't
• 25:00
  Speaker 8: Maybe it's just human nature. We only notice the things
• 25:03
  Speaker 8: that are going up in price.
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and before I jump into healthcare, I want to
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: just follow up on this because I think you're right
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: with gasoline.
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: What do you think the upside is?
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: I guess both the short term and long term, you know,
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: macro and micro. Of the deal that we've made with Venezuela.
• 25:23
  Speaker 8: Well, first of all, this is one of the greatest
• 25:27
  Speaker 8: military you know missions history. I mean, this will go on.
• 25:33
  Speaker 8: We liberated thirty million people, thirty million people from a
• 25:37
  Speaker 8: narco terrorists without a single loss of American life. I mean,
• 25:42
  Speaker 8: you got to whether you love Trump or hate him,
• 25:44
  Speaker 8: that's the most amazing.
• 25:47
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 25:47
  Speaker 8: And then contrast that with our leaving Afghanistan and what
• 25:51
  Speaker 8: an embarrassment that was to America. So and look, this
• 25:56
  Speaker 8: Maduro was a tyrant. He was starving his own people.
• 25:59
  Speaker 8: I don't underst and liberals who say, oh, we should
• 26:01
  Speaker 8: have left Maduro and practical.
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: The care free Maduro.
• 26:04
  Speaker 8: Right, I mean, so it was an amazing feat. And yes,
• 26:10
  Speaker 8: by the way, then here's the statistic. Seventy percent of
• 26:14
  Speaker 8: the people were living in poverty, and forty percent of
• 26:17
  Speaker 8: the people were living in abject poverty, which means they
• 26:19
  Speaker 8: could barely feed themselves. So that's how bad things were.
• 26:23
  Speaker 8: And you listen to the left, I don't understand, Oh,
• 26:25
  Speaker 8: why did we take on Maduro. We took him out
• 26:28
  Speaker 8: because he was starving his own people, that's why. And
• 26:32
  Speaker 8: Venezuela has huge amounts of oil, but he, you know,
• 26:37
  Speaker 8: Madua was such an idiot that he basically their their
• 26:41
  Speaker 8: oil production continued to fall, so they had no economy left.
• 26:45
  Speaker 8: And so hopefully, you know, with the help of American companies,
• 26:50
  Speaker 8: we can get those oil wells flowing again and that
• 26:55
  Speaker 8: can provide an income for the people in Venezuela and
• 26:58
  Speaker 8: provide oil for people.
• 27:00
  Speaker 9: On the world.
• 27:01
  Speaker 8: So I think it was an amazing feat.
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: Do you think there's a significant financial upside for the
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: American people in terms of continued I guess affordability in
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: the in the gasoline and having them as as a
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: backup and cutting them off from China.
• 27:22
  Speaker 8: Yeah, but you know what, richards can take a long time.
• 27:24
  Speaker 8: I mean, communists and socialists, they do great damage to
• 27:27
  Speaker 8: the infrastructure of a country. Yeah, and so it's gonna
• 27:30
  Speaker 8: I'm reading now from some of Chevron and some of
• 27:33
  Speaker 8: the countries that are companies that are looking at investing there.
• 27:36
  Speaker 8: It's I'm told it's gonna take two, three, four years
• 27:39
  Speaker 8: to get the oil fields running again. That's how that's
• 27:42
  Speaker 8: what happens when you when you put in socialists into
• 27:46
  Speaker 8: run economy.
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: All right, Steve Moore, stick with me. We're gonna come
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: right back.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: I want to talk about healthcare a little bit before
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: I let you go, Amigos, don't go anywhere. We are
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: coming right back with the Man, the myth, the legend himself.
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: Former White House economists both to press sident Reagan and
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: to President Trump, Steve Moore, don't go anywhere.
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: I'm Rich Valdez.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: This is America. This is America. He's brown, he's bald,
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: and he's breaking it down.
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: Oh he's so has some what's his day, rich Veldes.
• 28:31
  Speaker 10: I've recently introduced my plan to repair the damage of
• 28:36
  Speaker 10: the Unaffordable Care Act, the worst disaster which now costs
• 28:41
  Speaker 10: many families more than a mortgage. If you look, a
• 28:44
  Speaker 10: number came out a bigger cost than a mortgage.
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: And it's bad healthcare.
• 28:48
  Speaker 10: Obamacare was created to make insurance companies rich with government subsidies.
• 28:53
  Speaker 10: I want all that money that gets paid to the
• 28:55
  Speaker 10: insurance companies to get paid directly to the people.
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: That's all I want.
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: That is President Trump in Iowa today making his economic speech,
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: talking about bigger paychecks and lower prices and talking about
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: bringing down the cost of Obamacare. And I know many
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: people who've seen those COVID subsidies disappear and seeing their
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: premiums triple that I have Obamacare. I want to continue
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: our conversation with Steve Moore. Steve Moore was an economist
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: to Ronald Reagan and to President Trump in his first administration.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: He is in charge the main man, the head honcho
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: of the Committee to Unleash Prosperity, and he's got a
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: kick ass newsletter that you have to get every single day.
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: I use it as show prep on a regular basis.
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: Steve Moore, welcome.
• 29:48
  Speaker 8: Back, Thank you rich And by the way, if people
• 29:50
  Speaker 8: want to get that newsletter, we call it the Hotline,
• 29:52
  Speaker 8: just go to Unleashed Prosperity dot com and sign up.
• 29:54
  Speaker 8: And we're talking about inflation, but there's no inflation here
• 29:57
  Speaker 8: because it's absolutely.
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: Free, absolutely free, and absolute worth it. It's worth your
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: time reading. And like I said, I read it every day.
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: It's really good stuff. I always appreciate it. Thank you, Steve.
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: And let's see President Trump talking about bringing down the
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: cost of healthcare. I think one of the things that
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: he's mentioned recently, and he's done a lot in this area.
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: I would say, with what he calls.
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: The fat drug, I call it the fat drug right now,
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: I go zempic and things like that. But he's also
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: with insulin and things like that. He's done a number
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: of things. But with respect to that lowest nation pricing,
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: I think that was a really big deal in a
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: game changer. Talk to me about bringing down the cost
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: of the what he calls the unaffordable car.
• 30:35
  Speaker 8: At You know, the Democrats lied to us fifteen years ago.
• 30:38
  Speaker 8: And I remember when we were debating Obamacare, all the
• 30:42
  Speaker 8: predictions that people like me and others made about how
• 30:46
  Speaker 8: this would explode costs and make everything more unaffordable and
• 30:51
  Speaker 8: lead to a lower quality of healthcare. That's exactly what
• 30:55
  Speaker 8: has happened. It was as predictable as you know, the
• 31:00
  Speaker 8: sun rising in the east and setting in the west.
• 31:03
  Speaker 8: So now, as you just said quite correctly, premiums that
• 31:09
  Speaker 8: Americans are paying for healthcare have doubled and in some
• 31:12
  Speaker 8: cases tripled, And so we have a crisis at our
• 31:16
  Speaker 8: hand with health care and the you know what the
• 31:18
  Speaker 8: Democrat solution is rich more Obamacare subsidies. See that's worked
• 31:22
  Speaker 8: out so well, hasn't it.
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: More spending. Yeah, it's not going to work.
• 31:25
  Speaker 8: No, it's going to bankrupt our country. It's going to
• 31:28
  Speaker 8: be here's the thing. Not only are we paying record
• 31:31
  Speaker 8: amounts in taxpayer subsidies for the healthcare, then the amount
• 31:35
  Speaker 8: the insurance companies are charging us. And we just got
• 31:38
  Speaker 8: our forms for our deductibles, I mean, our premiums this
• 31:43
  Speaker 8: year from our health insurance company. They're going up sixteen
• 31:46
  Speaker 8: percent in one year.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I just got to increase myself. That I
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: don't like. And I'm waiting for Trump's planning. It is affordable,
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: Well it's not.
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: Now, talk to me.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: What do you think the likelihood of President Trump's plan
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: is saying, you know what, We're going to take those
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: subsidies given back to you, so you have the right.
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: I love that money. Me too. I love love control.
• 32:05
  Speaker 8: Yeah, give the money directly. Here's the thing that people
• 32:08
  Speaker 8: don't understand. You know who's in on this scam. The
• 32:11
  Speaker 8: biggest cheerleaders for Obamacare subsidies health insurance companies. The insurance company. Yes,
• 32:17
  Speaker 8: they need bundle their profits keep going up and up
• 32:20
  Speaker 8: and up and up with this because you know, if
• 32:22
  Speaker 8: we give these extensions of the Obamacare subsidies by some masterm,
• 32:27
  Speaker 8: it's fifty to sixty percent of that money we'll just
• 32:28
  Speaker 8: go right into the profits of the health insurance companies.
• 32:31
  Speaker 8: So I believe we have a much better since we
• 32:35
  Speaker 8: could have better health care in this country. I really
• 32:37
  Speaker 8: believe this rich and spend half as much money. We
• 32:40
  Speaker 8: there's so much waste, so many middlemen in the in
• 32:42
  Speaker 8: the in the equation and if everybody just had a
• 32:48
  Speaker 8: standard kind of catastrophic insurance cover it. So if you
• 32:52
  Speaker 8: have you know, something serious happens, you're covered for for
• 32:56
  Speaker 8: if you get cancer, god forbid, or you have a
• 32:58
  Speaker 8: terrible accident or becoming incapacitated. You know, you're not financially ruined.
• 33:03
  Speaker 8: That's why you have insurance. But that's not what we
• 33:06
  Speaker 8: have right now. I mean, everybody's got like first dollar coverage.
• 33:09
  Speaker 8: And so by the way, rich, when was the last
• 33:11
  Speaker 8: time Ane or anybody went to the hospital or doctor
• 33:15
  Speaker 8: or the pharmacy or and asked you how much is
• 33:18
  Speaker 8: that going to cost? It's the weirdest thing. We don't
• 33:20
  Speaker 8: use the free market system in healthcare. And that's a
• 33:23
  Speaker 8: big surprise then that this is the industry where the
• 33:26
  Speaker 8: costs are catapulting.
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: Obviously, he's got some hurdles to achieve that goal, But
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: do you think he gets that goal? Do you think
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: he gets to a place where Americans are in charge
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: of their own health care?
• 33:41
  Speaker 8: You know, I mean, I certainly love to see it.
• 33:44
  Speaker 8: It's so obvious what the solution is. But the Democrats
• 33:48
  Speaker 8: want you know this, I mean, when Obamacare was being debated,
• 33:53
  Speaker 8: people like you, and I said, well, wait, at the
• 33:55
  Speaker 8: ultimate goal here is just to create what a lot
• 33:58
  Speaker 8: of Democrats will admit, they just want the government to
• 34:01
  Speaker 8: run the healthcare system. Yeah, like they run the schools,
• 34:04
  Speaker 8: like they run the posts, they run everything else. I
• 34:07
  Speaker 8: think that's a really, really bad idea. And I think
• 34:11
  Speaker 8: we need more free markets than healthcare, not more government.
• 34:15
  Speaker 5: I agree.
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: And you know, when it comes to people's money, right,
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: not only just letting people keep their money and figure
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: out their own healthcare, but let people keep their money
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: on their paycheck. And that was something President Trump campaigned on.
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: No tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: on Social Security. And of course he had to get
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: it through Congress, and he got, you know, two thirds
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: of that through Congress.
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: And today he spoke about that.
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: I got a fifteen second clip where he brought somebody
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: on stage to talk about it because it was such
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: a big deal.
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: Listened to this.
• 34:42
  Speaker 7: Thank you, President Trump.
• 34:43
  Speaker 11: No tax on tips is huge for everyone in the
• 34:45
  Speaker 11: service industry.
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: Thank you very much, Thank you very much.
• 34:49
  Speaker 9: Congratulation.
• 34:55
  Speaker 12: I would just like to say the same thing, thank
• 34:57
  Speaker 12: you very much.
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: We appreciate it, thank.
• 34:59
  Speaker 6: You very much.
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: So there we have President Trump being thanked by these
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: two women that work in the service industry. One was
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: a bartender, the other one was a bar manager. And again,
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: real people. Now, I know people who are critics of
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: President Trump's and they're like, oh, you know what he
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: told me. They weren't going to take money out of
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: my check. They're taking it out of my check. I said, well,
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: that's that was the goal, right. What Congress approved was
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: these credits when you do your taxes, which we're on
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: the cusp of now in the next few days.
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: Right, it's the end of January.
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: This is when everybody's about to see there what I
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: assumed to be one of their bigger tax refunds because
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: of this.
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: What are you hearing? What are you thinking? What are
• 35:37
  Speaker 5: your thoughts?
• 35:39
  Speaker 8: Well, you know, as you you know you and I've
• 35:42
  Speaker 8: talked about as many times over the years that it
• 35:44
  Speaker 8: was Larry Coppo and I who met with then Donald Trump,
• 35:48
  Speaker 8: not President Trump, back in early two twenty sixteen, and
• 35:51
  Speaker 8: we outlined the idea of a more rational, more pro
• 35:54
  Speaker 8: growth tax code. And that's exactly what Trump not exactly,
• 35:59
  Speaker 8: but very close to what we had proposed. And it's
• 36:02
  Speaker 8: been an amazing success and the average family Look, people
• 36:07
  Speaker 8: come up to me all the time, right, should say, Hey,
• 36:09
  Speaker 8: you know you're Steve Moore. You worked on that Trump
• 36:11
  Speaker 8: tax cut. What am I going to get the tax cut? Well,
• 36:14
  Speaker 8: guess what? You're going to get it now? Right here,
• 36:16
  Speaker 8: it's twenty because a lot of people didn't get the
• 36:19
  Speaker 8: tax cut in twenty twenty five, but they're going to
• 36:21
  Speaker 8: see it in twenty twenty six. You're going to get
• 36:23
  Speaker 8: less money withheld rich from your paycheck for most people,
• 36:28
  Speaker 8: and that'll be a nice bonus. It'll be a lot
• 36:31
  Speaker 8: of people will save as much as two thousand dollars
• 36:34
  Speaker 8: off of their federal taxes this year. And so this
• 36:37
  Speaker 8: was a big boom for middle class, hardworking people outstanding.
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: I agree, Listen, I can't wait for this to actually
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: hit because you know, lately, it's just been bad news
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: after bad news, despite the wins, right, It's just it's
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: bad news on top of bad news. And I think
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: once this was what made the game change for many
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: people back in twenty eighteen twenty seventeen. In that era
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: was when median householding cups went up by six or
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: seven grand, and people were buying homes and interest rates
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: were dirt cheap. And it was just a great economy
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: running on so many cylinders until COVID hit.
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: Do you believe?
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: It's my belief? And again, you know, I'm an armchair economist.
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: I used the Big Mac Index and whatnot. I'm thinking
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: that we're going to be able to start seeing that
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: economic engine per like it did back then. I'm thinking
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: between somewhere between like June and October.
• 37:32
  Speaker 8: Your thoughts, Oh, I think it's already moving. I mean,
• 37:35
  Speaker 8: look the fourth quarter of last year, which was let's
• 37:39
  Speaker 8: see October through December. We've just got the latest estimates
• 37:45
  Speaker 8: of five point four percent growth, which is enormous. That's
• 37:48
  Speaker 8: like a blockbuster number.
• 37:49
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 37:50
  Speaker 8: Yeah, So this economy is out of terror right now.
• 37:52
  Speaker 8: We have an all time high virtually in the S
• 37:55
  Speaker 8: and P five hundred, the Nasdaq, and the Dow Jones.
• 38:00
  Speaker 8: We've got gas prices down. You headed, the two fifty
• 38:03
  Speaker 8: a gallon inflation hit nine percent under Biden. Now it's
• 38:07
  Speaker 8: at two points, still too high, but coming down. Real
• 38:12
  Speaker 8: incomes for middle class people have risen twenty five hundred
• 38:15
  Speaker 8: dollars since Trump came into office. So it's all all
• 38:19
  Speaker 8: systems are gone.
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: Well, I realize that, but I'm saying, so we're up
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: twenty five hundred dollars, but are we back at that
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: like seven thousand figure that that Trump was a way
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: back when, because I think he's got to beat his
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: old number.
• 38:31
  Speaker 8: Oh yeah, but that was over four years. This has
• 38:33
  Speaker 8: only been one year.
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, soon, hopefully we'll look at a ten
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: thousand dollars number by the end of it. All right, Now,
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: final question, do you, Steve more is this not giving
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: much veracity to the claims? But Axios put out a
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: story yesterday about Ted Cruz criticizing the administration on tariffs,
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: saying it's going to cost us in the midterms. I'm
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: not saying he said it or and I'm saying that's
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: what Axio said. But I do know that there are
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: many a Republican that get very squeamish when you know,
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: when certain things happen, when Trump is tough on certain policies.
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: And I'm wondering, and I know you've been critical of
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: him in this area as well in the past, what's
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: your take on tariffs as of late.
• 39:19
  Speaker 8: Well, I'm not a big fan of terrorist tarrifts are taxes,
• 39:22
  Speaker 8: and I don't likes taxes, and me I do believe,
• 39:25
  Speaker 8: as Milton Friedman taught me, that free trade is benefits everyone.
• 39:30
  Speaker 8: But I also think that what Trump? So, you know,
• 39:32
  Speaker 8: that's my kind of training in economics. But then I
• 39:36
  Speaker 8: look at Trump and some of the terrorists. You know,
• 39:39
  Speaker 8: you asked whire beef prices expensive? Well, because we put
• 39:42
  Speaker 8: Paris on beef, and a lot of those costs, you know,
• 39:45
  Speaker 8: go right down to the consumer. However, what's really I
• 39:49
  Speaker 8: think exciting about what Trump has done is negotiated amazing
• 39:55
  Speaker 8: trade deals and he's using the threat he look. Let
• 39:59
  Speaker 8: me put it like this. I've known Trump now for
• 40:01
  Speaker 8: eight years. He is the single greatest negotiator I've ever seen. Yeah,
• 40:05
  Speaker 8: and he's negotiating better deals for the US. So I'm
• 40:08
  Speaker 8: off for that.
• 40:10
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: I agree that tariffs have pushed the cost of beef up,
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: but I know that there was some taxes that Biden
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: had put in and some shortage of cattle supply. How
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: much of each of those do you think weighs into this?
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: And what do you think? I guess the number is
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: on that coming down because I can't.
• 40:28
  Speaker 5: Walk into a room.
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: You know, it used to be people would throw eggs
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: at me right there, are like, oh, what are the
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: eggs coming down? Eggs came down? Now I walk into
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: the room and they're like, when is the beef coming down?
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: Everywhere I go, I'm catching beef.
• 40:41
  Speaker 8: Well, I'll say this. Look, if you impose, for example,
• 40:44
  Speaker 8: Trump put terrorists out of coffee beans from Brazil and Columbia,
• 40:49
  Speaker 8: why do we import coffee beans from Columbia and Brazil
• 40:52
  Speaker 8: because they make really good coffee beans there, and so
• 40:54
  Speaker 8: what happened to the price of coffee? The coffee price
• 40:57
  Speaker 8: went up, so you know, relative relative prices changed when
• 41:01
  Speaker 8: you put a terrify on it. On the other hand,
• 41:04
  Speaker 8: the reason overall prices didn't rise as much as a
• 41:07
  Speaker 8: result of these terrorists because people forget all the other
• 41:10
  Speaker 8: things Trump was doing. We're disinflationary. He's got one hundred
• 41:14
  Speaker 8: dregulations for every new regulation he is. Basically, we have
• 41:20
  Speaker 8: cheaper oil and gas now than we've had in probably
• 41:23
  Speaker 8: ten years. We're producing more oil and gas than number before.
• 41:27
  Speaker 8: What about the tax cut that had a disinflationary effect,
• 41:30
  Speaker 8: So overall inflation. I'm going to make a bet to
• 41:33
  Speaker 8: you that we're going to see inflation in twenty twenty six.
• 41:36
  Speaker 8: We'll be right about the fat target of two percent.
• 41:39
  Speaker 8: So look, I'm the most bullish guy you can talk to.
• 41:42
  Speaker 8: I think this economy is ready to explode.
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: I love it, Steve Moore. If people want to hear
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: more about what you're doing with both the committee and
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: all the other stuff you're doing, where do they go?
• 41:54

• 42:23

• 42:26
  Speaker 3: You bet amigos, we're coming right back. Don't go anywhere.
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: There's more to come.
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: This is Ameria, this is America. He's making podcasting great again.
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: This is America with Rich Valdez.
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: All right, amigos, welcome back. It's Rich Valdeesa. Then Sat
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: Rich valdees Son all of the social media. Happy to
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: be here with you this Tuesday night, And I want
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: to talk about marriage, something I don't really feel qualified
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: to talk about because I was only married for about
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: ten years to a girl I dated for seven years prior,
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: so seventeen years, but it ended. It ended in divorce,
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: and I think for many people the question becomes how
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: do you stay married? And for others, some people fear
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: getting married because they don't know how to stay married
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: or they just can't fathom the idea of marriage. So
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: I want to talk to everybody about this, and we're
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: gonna call this an unofficial Dear Richie segment, even though
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: nobody reached out saying we want marriage advice. I want
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: to give you some unsolicited marriage advice that I'm unqualified
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: to give you. But I'm gonna have a little help. Right,
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: you've all heard the term love languages, right, Yes, I'm
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: sure you haven't. If you haven't, it is a theory
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: that became a book by doctor Gary Chapman. And in
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: a little bit, I'm gonna play you a clip of
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: him doing an interview with Jim Daily from Focus on
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: the Family. But before I do that, I want to
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: get your intention, and I found a clip that was
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: funny and at least funny to me, And maybe it's
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: offensive to you, but I want you to listen to this.
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: This is one of my findings from scrolling on Instagram.
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: This is a girl asking another girl in a podcast.
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: She's saying, so tell me why you're marrying a liberal guy.
• 44:28
  Speaker 11: Listen to her response, would you ever marry someone that
• 44:30
  Speaker 11: has different political beliefs in you? I would never marry
• 44:32
  Speaker 11: a guy that's liberal. Why not because he's going to
• 44:34
  Speaker 11: raise my son to be a factor. I just I
• 44:36
  Speaker 11: don't want a man that's feminine at all. I want
• 44:39
  Speaker 11: a strong cord man who believes in guns and being.
• 44:42
  Speaker 5: Strong border control. Yeah.
• 44:44
  Speaker 11: I want my sons to grow up and be like,
• 44:46
  Speaker 11: you know, tough and manly. I would marry somebody that
• 44:49
  Speaker 11: maybe like disagrees on smaller stuff.
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: Now, this is a topic that I always find very
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: interesting because you know me, I'm always saying, hey, I'm
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: happy to date the liberal girls. But I'll tell you
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: it's becoming more and more difficult to do that because
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: while I am happy to look the other way and so,
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: so you're not into what I am into politically, all right, Well,
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: you know, what kind of wine do you like? That
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: doesn't always work, right, because some people are just fixated
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: on the emotionality of Trump hatred. This is a big
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: problem that I think this country has to contend with,
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: and it's going to take a while to undo all
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: of this damage. But the reality is that's a thing,
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: It's there, it's for real. So what happens when you
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: do find this person right now? I think you do
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: need to have a basis of yeah, we agree on
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: different things. You know, there's gotta be some non negotiables, right,
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: And I guess if for those who date because they
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: don't want to stay home on a Saturday and they've
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: got no dog to take care of, then do whatever
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: you got to do right for the casual dating scene.
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: But for people who are interested in dating to be
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: married right, dating within intentionality, this is more my speed
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: at this point of my life. I would say that
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: it's it's a very important thing, and it's a very
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: wise thing to make sure that you do have some
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: parameters set forth so people know who you are and
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: what you believe. Only fair, It only makes sense, right.
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: So that being said, she says, I want my sons
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: to be manly well, presuming you have sons. Yeah, it's
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: a good idea. I don't disagree with any of them.
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: I love how the girl who was doing the interviewing
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: she said border control. I thought that was great. You know,
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: went from being a manly man to border control and listen.
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: I think it's the most primitive, innate instinct of a
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: woman to be attracted to a man that they believe
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: can protect and can provide, right, who has the industriousness,
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: the ingenuity, the strength, the wherewithal to do the things
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: they don't want to do. I saw another video clip today.
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: I shared it on my Instagram stories if anybody's interested
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: at Rich Valdes with an s at Richvealdes and on Instagram.
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: Part of what I thought was interesting about this clip
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: was the podcaster. Her name is Pearl. I forget her
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: last name, but I think her handle is pearly Things,
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: and she's a pretty pro man podcaster that often challenges
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: feminists and she was debating Anna Kasparian. Let me see
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: if I could find this clip so that I could
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: play it for you, because I think it's it's worth
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: listening to standby.
• 47:21
  Speaker 5: All right, so we do have the clip, all right,
• 47:23
  Speaker 5: then go ahead and rolling again.
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: This is Pearl, the podcaster at Pearly Things. I believe
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: it's her Twitter handle, and she's asking Anna Kasparian from
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: the Young Turks, what is your plan when men stop
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: doing manly jobs? Listen to this really interesting and when.
• 47:40
  Speaker 12: Men stopped doing the dirty and dangerous jobs that keep
• 47:43
  Speaker 12: society running.
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: Can you give me an example of which jobs you're referring.
• 47:48
  Speaker 12: To, logging, plumbing, crabfishing, oil rig When min stopped doing
• 47:53
  Speaker 12: the dangerous jobs, when man stopped getting married, when men
• 47:57
  Speaker 12: stopped having kids, what's your plan? I'm not worried about that,
• 48:04
  Speaker 12: of course you're not. No, I don't have a planned
• 48:08
  Speaker 12: Pearl for asamination in which men no longer do those jobs.
• 48:12
  Speaker 12: The very microphone you're using was built by men. The
• 48:15
  Speaker 12: building was built by men, and there's no gratitude or appreciation.
• 48:19
  Speaker 12: You just tell them they're not doing enough. Future is
• 48:21
  Speaker 12: not going to be great for feminists. You guys are
• 48:23
  Speaker 12: going to get the equality that you're asking for. Men
• 48:26
  Speaker 12: are not going to protect women in the streets. Men
• 48:29
  Speaker 12: are going to stop signing up for the infrastructure jobs.
• 48:32
  Speaker 12: The birth rate's going to keep falling, and the future
• 48:34
  Speaker 12: is going to be bleak.
• 48:37
  Speaker 5: Wow. So listen, it's going to be hard to debate that. Right.
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: Some would say no, no, no, because women are going
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: to fill all those functions, and maybe they will.
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: I've never seen so many women construction workers on job
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: sites that I have in the last five or seven years,
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: so maybe that's a thing.
• 48:56
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: I have a friend out in Texas who works on
• 48:59
  Speaker 3: an oil I'm gonna have to call him a shoutout
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: to our guy, Paul. Hey, Paul, do you have girls
• 49:04
  Speaker 3: working those oil rigs with you? I'm curious to know,
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: curious to know. I did not know that a man
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: made the microphone, but it makes sense to me. Although
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: if they would have told me it was a woman,
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: I'd say, yeah, it makes sense to me too. Women
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: love to hear this. This is the sound of their
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: own voice, just as much as I do. Right, these
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: are one of those things that you could have sold
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: me easily on. But the real question here is what
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: do people do right? And Interestingly enough, and this is
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: not a critique, this is just an observation. Anna Kasparian,
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: who has you know, critiqued me in the past on
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: her show, I will say that I'm not here to
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: critique her. I know she's married to a guy. I
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: believe he's a Hispanic guy who's a minor league baseball
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: player or Major League baseball player, professional baseball player that
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: I know. And that's why she's not worried, because she
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: has a husband who's got a good paying job, and
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: she's got a good paying career and she's sticking. I
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: don't need that, and you know it. Everybody needs everybody,
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: is my point.
• 50:00
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: I believe that women need men, men need women. This
• 50:04
  Speaker 3: is not some sort of I can live without you.
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: You have some women, many lately that have become you know,
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: the type that are like, no, no, I got this.
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: I'll shovel my own driveway, I'll dig my own car,
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: and I'll do this.
• 50:16
  Speaker 5: I got this.
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: Nothing wrong with that, I guess, But let me rephrase.
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: I think there's something wrong with that insomuch as you
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: gotta let men do what they feel they need to do, right,
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: You let them be men and let women be women,
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: and we have to stop encroaching on the other's role
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: or job.
• 50:34
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 50:34
  Speaker 5: I guess that's a sexist, misogynist thing to say. Right,
• 50:37
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna get accused of that.
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: But the reality is what Pearl mentioned makes sense. It
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: really does, logging and crabbing and all these other things
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: that I've never seen women do these jobs, not because
• 50:51
  Speaker 3: they're incapable, because they're uninterested, period the end. That's really
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: all it ever comes down to. Say thing with why
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: you don't see too many Puerto Ricans in my line
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: of work.
• 51:05
  Speaker 5: Or many others.
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: Right, it's certain people find certain jobs interesting. I don't
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: think that there is a barrier of entry other than
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: skill and ability and network. Right, it doesn't matter so
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: much what color you are as much as what you
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: can provide and what you can bring to the table,
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: and for many of these things. So I think that
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: you can. I'm all about the most qualified person. If
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: that's a woman, great, If it's a man, that's great too. However,
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: there are certain jobs that I think men can do
• 51:37
  Speaker 3: better than women, And there's plenty of jobs that I
• 51:39
  Speaker 3: know women can do better than men. But on the
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: other side, you've got men who also And I was
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: in this group for a long time. I got so
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: used to living alone after I got divorced. For about
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: i'd say good twelve years, I slept how I wanted, right,
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: I want to sleep like a like the letter, I
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: could do that. I want to sleep on the left
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: side or the right, didn't matter how I slept. Why
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: Because I could do what I wanted, put my clothes
• 52:10
  Speaker 3: in a hamper, throw it on the floor, whatever I
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: want to do.
• 52:13
  Speaker 5: And I felt like that was freedom.
• 52:15
  Speaker 3: Now, yeah, granted it was freedom, But ultimately I've realized
• 52:19
  Speaker 3: that's not the end game for me, right.
• 52:21
  Speaker 5: The end game for me is.
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: Not to be able to be neat or to be
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: messy at my heart's desire. That's not really, ultimately what
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: we're created for. None of us really crave to be
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: messy or crave to be neat. Those are kind of
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: learned things, but people in general crave to be around
• 52:39
  Speaker 3: other people.
• 52:39
  Speaker 5: That is a human need. So I think Pearl is
• 52:42
  Speaker 5: onto something.
• 52:43
  Speaker 3: And I think Anna Kasparian dug herself into a hole
• 52:46
  Speaker 3: there and just didn't know how to get out of it,
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: so she doubled down. It was evident, right, she wasn't
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: arguing that hard because I think she realized she didn't
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: have much of a position. Now fast forward to doctor,
• 52:57
  Speaker 3: excuse me, doctor Gary Chapman, the author of the Love Languages,
• 53:02
  Speaker 3: The Five Love languages, and this is not about that.
• 53:06
  Speaker 5: Per se.
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: This is really about him giving his advice on how
• 53:09
  Speaker 3: to maintain and have a better marriage.
• 53:13
  Speaker 5: Again.
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: This is doctor Gary Chapman, the author of the Love
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: Language Book, and an interview that he did several weeks
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: ago with focus on the family and Jim Day.
• 53:24
  Speaker 5: I thought this was really interesting. Check this out.
• 53:28
  Speaker 9: I think it's because we come down off that high.
• 53:31
  Speaker 9: You know. I was always told when I was growing up,
• 53:34
  Speaker 9: if you're really in love, if you've got the real thing,
• 53:38
  Speaker 9: it's going to last forever. And that's what I anticipated. Well,
• 53:42
  Speaker 9: we studied it now. Average lifespan of that uphoric state
• 53:47
  Speaker 9: is two years, some a little longer, some a little less.
• 53:51
  Speaker 9: Average two years. My wife and I had dated two
• 53:54
  Speaker 9: years before we got married. I came down rather soon
• 53:58
  Speaker 9: after the honeymoon, So hold.
• 54:00
  Speaker 5: On a second.
• 54:01
  Speaker 3: Two years is all you get with the butterflies and
• 54:03
  Speaker 3: the stomach. Two years is all you get of being
• 54:06
  Speaker 3: head over heels in love. How do you make a
• 54:08
  Speaker 3: marriage last, doctor Gary Chapman, If you don't do it
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: like that, I mean, that's what I want to know.
• 54:15
  Speaker 5: Ageah play to take.
• 54:17
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 54:18
  Speaker 9: And then we found out we didn't agree on some things.
• 54:23
  Speaker 9: And when we were in love, we never had any problems.
• 54:27
  Speaker 9: You know, whatever she wanted to do was fine with me.
• 54:29
  Speaker 9: You know, we came down off that high and then
• 54:32
  Speaker 9: we had these conflicts, and so I knew I was right,
• 54:36
  Speaker 9: she knew she was right. So we ended up arguing
• 54:38
  Speaker 9: with each other. I remember one night it was pouring
• 54:41
  Speaker 9: down rain outside and we got into an argument. And
• 54:43
  Speaker 9: in the middle of the argument, my wife walked out
• 54:46
  Speaker 9: the front door in the rain, and I thought, man,
• 54:50
  Speaker 9: this is bad. When a woman walks in the rain,
• 54:52
  Speaker 9: it's bad.
• 54:53
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 54:55
  Speaker 9: So then not only did we have all those arguments,
• 54:58
  Speaker 9: but then I not only did and I lose the
• 55:00
  Speaker 9: positive feelings. Now I had some negative feelings toward her,
• 55:04
  Speaker 9: you know, just because she wouldn't listen to me, and
• 55:07
  Speaker 9: da dah da da da, And so the emotions became
• 55:10
  Speaker 9: negative instead of positive. So it was a hard time
• 55:14
  Speaker 9: for me. And what compounded it for me, Jim, is
• 55:18
  Speaker 9: two weeks after we got married, I enrolled in seminary
• 55:22
  Speaker 9: to study to be a pastor. And here I am
• 55:25
  Speaker 9: studying to be a pastor and just miserable in my marriage,
• 55:29
  Speaker 9: you know, just.
• 55:30
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I wanted to ask you about that because you
• 55:33
  Speaker 13: kind of came to that conclusion. But I wanted to
• 55:35
  Speaker 13: know the timeline. You and Carolyn were in this season
• 55:41
  Speaker 13: of disagreement and fighting and you kind of are coming
• 55:44
  Speaker 13: to your wits end about did I marry the wrong person?
• 55:48
  Speaker 13: She may have been thinking the same thing. But then
• 55:50
  Speaker 13: you had this turn where you were prompted, you said
• 55:54
  Speaker 13: in the book to start studying the teachings of Jesus
• 55:57
  Speaker 13: for your marriage. Now, I don't think I've ever had
• 56:00
  Speaker 13: that kind of specific thing. Look at the words of
• 56:03
  Speaker 13: Jesus for your marriage. So how did that happen for you? Gary?
• 56:06
  Speaker 13: And well, how was.
• 56:07
  Speaker 5: It so pro That is an excellent question.
• 56:10
  Speaker 3: And by the way, I just want to say, I
• 56:12
  Speaker 3: think most of us have never thought about that, right
• 56:14
  Speaker 3: and for those of us that have kudos to you,
• 56:16
  Speaker 3: that's probably the right way to look at it. But
• 56:18
  Speaker 3: I'm curious to see what doctor Chapman says, go ahead,
• 56:20
  Speaker 3: play to take.
• 56:22
  Speaker 13: Profound.
• 56:23
  Speaker 9: Well, I was pretty desperate and just struggling with this
• 56:26
  Speaker 9: whole thing, and I said to God, there's no way
• 56:30
  Speaker 9: I can ever stand in front of people and preach
• 56:34
  Speaker 9: if I'm this miserable in my marriage. I mean, I
• 56:36
  Speaker 9: I just couldn't conceive of doing that. And I said
• 56:39
  Speaker 9: to God, I don't know what else to do. I've
• 56:41
  Speaker 9: done everything I know to do. It's not working. She
• 56:45
  Speaker 9: won't listen to me. You know, I'm still blaming her.
• 56:49
  Speaker 9: And I just said to God, I'm asking you, asking
• 56:54
  Speaker 9: you to help me. I don't know what to do.
• 56:57
  Speaker 9: As soon as I said that, it came, I'm a
• 57:00
  Speaker 9: visual image of Jesus on his knees washing the feet
• 57:05
  Speaker 9: of his disciples. And I heard God say to me,
• 57:08
  Speaker 9: that's the problem in your marriage. You do not have
• 57:12
  Speaker 9: the attitude of Christ toward your wife.
• 57:16
  Speaker 3: Boom, bottom line might drop. Doctor Gary Chapman, love your
• 57:21
  Speaker 3: wives like Christ love the church. Now again, it's coming
• 57:25
  Speaker 3: from me, the divorced guy, a single guy. Take it
• 57:28
  Speaker 3: for what it's worth. But Chapman, he's the love language guru.
• 57:32
  Speaker 3: I'd listened to him. I'm going to pick up here
• 57:35
  Speaker 3: with one of our resident psychologists that frequent the program,
• 57:41
  Speaker 3: and they're not going to join us today, but maybe tomorrow,
• 57:44
  Speaker 3: just because I think this is interesting.
• 57:47
  Speaker 5: There's a group.
• 57:49
  Speaker 3: That I go to on Monday night, a men's fellowship
• 57:53
  Speaker 3: from guys from my church, and you know, they talk
• 57:56
  Speaker 3: about lots of things, mainly just you know, character development
• 57:59
  Speaker 3: and you know, staying accountable, focusing on how we can
• 58:02
  Speaker 3: always be disciplined and you know, more follow through and
• 58:06
  Speaker 3: you're just making you a better person. But part of
• 58:09
  Speaker 3: that is making you a better husband for those of
• 58:13
  Speaker 3: the guys that are married. And I think that's important
• 58:18
  Speaker 3: for married people. And I figured if we're talking about
• 58:20
  Speaker 3: it in our men's weekly meeting, then maybe we should
• 58:25
  Speaker 3: be talking about it on the podcast, right, And this show,
• 58:28
  Speaker 3: I think is important for a lot of people. People
• 58:29
  Speaker 3: are listening to it and hoping to benefit from it.
• 58:31
  Speaker 3: So I don't typically get into this type of stuff,
• 58:34
  Speaker 3: but I figured why not. So we'll expound upon that
• 58:38
  Speaker 3: a little bit as well as we continue to delve
• 58:41
  Speaker 3: into this topic. And like I said, we'll do it
• 58:43
  Speaker 3: with one of our psychologists, and we have many that
• 58:47
  Speaker 3: have joined us on the show and will continue to
• 58:50
  Speaker 3: join us that are really just experienced and display a
• 58:57
  Speaker 3: lot of expertise in that area, right, not just experience,
• 59:00
  Speaker 3: but really expertise and understanding. So that's all I've got
• 59:04
  Speaker 3: on that front. And that's why I always say you
• 59:05
  Speaker 3: got to stand for something. Is if you stand for nothing,
• 59:08
  Speaker 3: you'll fall for anything, and the only thing necessary for
• 59:12
  Speaker 3: evil to triumph is for.
• 59:13
  Speaker 5: Good people to do nothing. So you know what to do.
• 59:16
  Speaker 5: It's time to do something.
• 59:17
