  Speaker 1: Welcome to Check with Chip, brought to you by Operation

  Speaker 1: Blue Dot Red. Turning the blue dot red one podcast
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: at a time. Although it's going to take a little
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: more time than I first anticipated. We're going to need
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: a bigger boat in 2028. The blue dot did not
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: turn red in this election cycle. You don't lose if
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: you don't give up. I'll give it a rest for
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: a little while. but I'll be back at it to
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: turn the blue dot red in 2028. But we're going
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: to need a bigger boat. We're going to need President
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Trump and presidential nominee J.D. Vance in Omaha, or Marco Rubio,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: or whoever it is. We need to go all-in, robust,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: conservative Republican. Yes, I said Trump. I realize he got
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: his teeth kicked in yesterday. I predict right now, that
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: come 2028, Trump will be recognized by reasonable people of
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: whatever political stripe as the greatest president of the 21st century.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: The Iran war will be long over with positive results
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: for Iran, Israel, the Middle East, the United States, and
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: the world. Gas prices will be low. Of course, they're
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: already lower than they were under Biden and Obama in
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: But Trump was a victim of his own success by
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: driving gas prices way down his first year, only to
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: have them rise in connection with the Iran war. But
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I predict gas prices will be historically low and Trump
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: finally will get credit for doing what needed to be
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: done in the Middle East. The Omaha World-Herald quoted a
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: voter who called Trump's action against Iran an excellent move
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: by a president not worrying about public perception, and putting
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: aside politics to do what needed to be done. The
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: voters said, if a little extra at the gas tank
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: is the price to pay, I think that's a small
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: sacrifice considering the alternative, war measured in bodies. Meanwhile, there
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: will be a circus of investigations targeting Trump and Republicans.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: It will amount to nothing, but it will ugly up
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Washington politics for two years. In terms of legislation and policy,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: it's probably a stalemate. Whatever mischief Democrats are able to
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: generate in Congress will be vetoed by the president. The
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: question will be whether Democrats are able to take credit
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: for the Trump-MAGA-America-first economic policies that will be in full
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: bloom over the next two years, producing robust growth in
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: jobs and GDP. And will Democrats try to undo... All
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the progress on border security, deportation of illegal immigrants, crime
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: reduction in major cities, protecting children from gender-attacking surgery, and
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: protecting the safety and dignity of women in sports and
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: private spaces? The president's veto pen will get a workout.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Postmortems are valuable for the lessons they provide for future elections.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Tom Osborne said you learn a lot more from your
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: defeats than you do from your victories. But I won't
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: spend too much time looking in the rearview mirror. I'll
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: be looking through the front windshield because the next election
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: is right around the corner. That's Check with Chip. I'm
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Chip Maxwell. Thank you for listening.
