- 0:18Speaker 1: B R E I T B A RT dot com. Nick,
- 0:21Speaker 1: welcome back to the firty five krc Morning Show. It's
- 0:23Speaker 1: great having you on this morning.
- 0:24Speaker 2: Hey, good morning, Brian. Great to be here.
- 0:26Speaker 1: Got your popcorn already popped and ready to watch the
- 0:28Speaker 1: State of the Union address?
- 0:29Speaker 2: Nick, Yes, I am ready to go. Ready to watch
- 0:33Speaker 2: the State of the Union. See what antics the Democrats
- 0:36Speaker 2: bring tonight, because I'm sure it'll be a spectacle.
- 0:39Speaker 1: Well, I suppose they need to show up for that.
- 0:42Speaker 1: More and more of them saying they're not even gotta
- 0:43Speaker 1: bothered to show up. I think that's childish.
- 0:48Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, well, you know, yeah, I'm sure the
- 0:51Speaker 2: Democrats this is gonna be this is gonna be something else.
- 0:55Speaker 2: Last year we saw the Democrats breaking decorum, standing waving
- 0:59Speaker 2: signs saying Trump was lying. You know, we saw Al Green,
- 1:03Speaker 2: Heckel and Coointus Kane at the Dais at the President.
- 1:06Speaker 2: So you know, I guess this stepberd of this year
- 1:09Speaker 2: would just be flat out you know, boycotting the entire address.
- 1:13Speaker 1: Yeah, and well, that's that's what petulant children do, you know,
- 1:17Speaker 1: the ears over their hands, over their ears and going
- 1:20Speaker 1: in their eyes closed. That's kind of what the Democrats
- 1:22Speaker 1: seem to be. And I know Trump can be frustrating
- 1:24Speaker 1: for some people, including me. See, it can be a
- 1:25Speaker 1: bit long winded. He's already warned people it's going to
- 1:27Speaker 1: go extra long. And if Trump says it up front,
- 1:30Speaker 1: you might be up for a late, late, late night. Nick,
- 1:32Speaker 1: I get up at two thirty in the morning. I
- 1:33Speaker 1: don't think I can make it through.
- 1:36Speaker 2: Yeah, well I'm ready for late now. We get a
- 1:38Speaker 2: lot of late nights with this president, going back to
- 1:41Speaker 2: the campaign trail. And yeah, he's known for his marathon speeches, right.
- 1:46Speaker 2: I mean, we saw him at the RNC in twenty
- 1:48Speaker 2: twenty four. This is a couple of days after he
- 1:51Speaker 2: was nearly assassinated on national television, right, and he went
- 1:54Speaker 2: up and I think he broke the record for length
- 1:57Speaker 2: of an RNC acceptance speech, you know, for the nomination.
- 2:01Speaker 2: So I wouldn't be surprised to see the president, know,
- 2:04Speaker 2: you know, well over an hour and a half maybe
- 2:06Speaker 2: two hours here tonight, you know, we'll see and yeah,
- 2:10Speaker 2: I mean we're ready for it. Uh, if he does whatever,
- 2:12Speaker 2: whatever happened.
- 2:13Speaker 1: Well, I had a good friend, Dave Ooyas from the
- 2:15Speaker 1: Taxpayer Protection Alliance on earlier. He comes on the program
- 2:18Speaker 1: about once a month, and he was talking about what
- 2:20Speaker 1: this what President Trump should in might address, But he
- 2:23Speaker 1: was of the opinion and it really bothered me. Not
- 2:25Speaker 1: not that I disagree with him, because we're on there,
- 2:27Speaker 1: we're just guessing what he's going to say. But uh,
- 2:29Speaker 1: but Dave was suggesting maybe Trump won't talk about the
- 2:32Speaker 1: Doge type work, and I just my reaction was, wait
- 2:36Speaker 1: a second, and I'm again referring my listeners now to
- 2:40Speaker 1: my blog page fifty five kcy dot com or the
- 2:42Speaker 1: article I have been so blown up about this Scott
- 2:45Speaker 1: Johnson Imprimuslaw article Learning from Minnesota Somali Fraud's candle. What
- 2:49Speaker 1: an eye opener. The detail that Scott Johnson and that
- 2:52Speaker 1: article goes through and breaks down on how the fraud
- 2:54Speaker 1: was commuted and the amount of fraud. And when I
- 2:57Speaker 1: look at the fact that this is one city or
- 3:00Speaker 1: area of the country and they have already identified about
- 3:03Speaker 1: nine billion and ever growing amounts of fraud and these
- 3:06Speaker 1: social welfare programs that the Somali community was builking American
- 3:10Speaker 1: taxpayer For Nick, this is regardless of political stripe American
- 3:15Speaker 1: taxpayer money. It was outright stolen in a well organized
- 3:20Speaker 1: criminal enterprise. Everyone should be pissed off. If I may
- 3:25Speaker 1: be so bold as a characterize it like that, Nick,
- 3:27Speaker 1: this doesn't bear a political stripe. Our labor converted to
- 3:30Speaker 1: taxpayer dollars was literally stolen. I think you should be
- 3:34Speaker 1: all over that like white on Rice.
- 3:36Speaker 2: Nick. Yeah, absolutely, Brian, I think this is not this
- 3:40Speaker 2: should not be a part of an issue, even though
- 3:44Speaker 2: the Democrats have made it this way. These are you know,
- 3:46Speaker 2: the hard work, you know, the hard earned tax dollars
- 3:50Speaker 2: of you, of me, of your listeners, of everybody around
- 3:53Speaker 2: this country that days into the system, right, and these
- 3:56Speaker 2: dollars were stolen. And you know Governor Tim wall and
- 4:01Speaker 2: you know the Democrats running things over there in Minnesota.
- 4:04Speaker 2: It kind of happened under their nose. That looks like
- 4:06Speaker 2: maybe some of them may be even new about it.
- 4:08Speaker 2: Who knows that. You know, there's investigations going on into
- 4:11Speaker 2: all this stuff now, I think, you know, I think
- 4:14Speaker 2: we we could potentially see and like you said, we're
- 4:17Speaker 2: kind of just speculating as to what the President's going
- 4:20Speaker 2: to talk about. But I imagine, you know, he could
- 4:22Speaker 2: go and mention some things about this, whether it's in
- 4:26Speaker 2: the prepared remarks or he kind of adds it on cuff.
- 4:29Speaker 2: And I know he always says California in his estimation
- 4:33Speaker 2: and what he thinks is probably even worse than Minnesota,
- 4:37Speaker 2: And there's these blue states all around the country where
- 4:41Speaker 2: I mean, you know, I think the hard book needs
- 4:44Speaker 2: to be taken at what exactly is going on, you know,
- 4:48Speaker 2: with these benefit systems and tracking on audits of all
- 4:51Speaker 2: this money. Right, I know, one thing the President is
- 4:54Speaker 2: going to talk about tonight, according to Fox News, is
- 4:57Speaker 2: he's going to center this thing on working families and
- 5:01Speaker 2: making a big economic case. And I think that's probably
- 5:06Speaker 2: you know, a great decision, I think, especially ahead of
- 5:09Speaker 2: midterms coming up in November. You know, you think of
- 5:12Speaker 2: James Carvell, Right, it's the economy stupid, right, That's that's
- 5:16Speaker 2: and it always is the economy, in my opinion, in
- 5:19Speaker 2: most all cases, coming up on a big election like this,
- 5:23Speaker 2: and I think President Trump has a great economic case
- 5:25Speaker 2: to go layout and make tonight. Wages are outpacing inflation, right.
- 5:30Speaker 2: I think that's one of the big crowning achievements he's
- 5:33Speaker 2: had in his first year back in office. I mean,
- 5:36Speaker 2: from January twenty five to January twenty six, you had
- 5:39Speaker 2: inflation up two point five percent year over year, and
- 5:42Speaker 2: that's after you know, that's a pretty low number. That's
- 5:45Speaker 2: kind of right where you want it to be after
- 5:48Speaker 2: buid inflation absolutely robbed Americans of their buying power in
- 5:52Speaker 2: the last administration, where you had inflation unseen in you know,
- 5:56Speaker 2: five decades. So and on top of that, Brian too,
- 6:00Speaker 2: you have wages of pacing that. I think wages are
- 6:02Speaker 2: up fourteen hundred dollars for the average private sector worker. Now,
- 6:07Speaker 2: you know, the question is, especially going into midterms, are
- 6:10Speaker 2: people feeling it? And I think especially after Biden, I
- 6:15Speaker 2: guess you know, according to the White House, their number
- 6:18Speaker 2: is a three thousand dollars wage loss. So in his
- 6:20Speaker 2: first year, Trump has recouped apparently half of that, you know,
- 6:25Speaker 2: according to these economic numbers. So it's still things aren't
- 6:29Speaker 2: as good as they were probably five years ago, but
- 6:32Speaker 2: they're certainly better than they were a couple of years ago.
- 6:34Speaker 2: And people are starting to get their buying power back
- 6:37Speaker 2: under the president.
- 6:38Speaker 1: Well, you know a lot of people struggle with connecting
- 6:40Speaker 1: inflation with policies of prior presidents. We always tend to
- 6:43Speaker 1: blame the person in office for anything that's going on.
- 6:46Speaker 1: But insofar as inflation is concerned, you can't infuse trillions
- 6:50Speaker 1: of dollars into economy under an Inflation Reduction Act and
- 6:53Speaker 1: think the power of the buying power of the dollar
- 6:56Speaker 1: is not going to be impacted by it. I mean's
- 6:57Speaker 1: so bloody obvious. But that goes back act and my
- 7:00Speaker 1: point on fraud. The Inflation Reductive Reduction Act is one
- 7:03Speaker 1: of the vehicles by which so many people committed fraud.
- 7:08Speaker 2: Yeah, the Inflation Reduction Act. All these spending packages too, Yeah, absolutely,
- 7:15Speaker 2: these these COVID plans and whatnot that came out afterwards,
- 7:19Speaker 2: you know, the Great American Rescue Plan, Right, all of
- 7:22Speaker 2: these different you know where democrats just approved trillions and
- 7:26Speaker 2: trillions and trillions of dollars. They were spending like drunken
- 7:28Speaker 2: sailors and I and you know, on top of that,
- 7:31Speaker 2: you have the fraud, like you said, and I think
- 7:34Speaker 2: you know you're kind were kind of reeling things back.
- 7:37Speaker 2: You also had look the migrants that were taking advantage
- 7:41Speaker 2: of these programs too, right, whether it was taxpayer, taxpayer
- 7:45Speaker 2: fund and healthcare going to illegal aliens that were in
- 7:48Speaker 2: this country. The President has sealed the border. He's gotten
- 7:52Speaker 2: two point five million illegal aliens out of the country
- 7:55Speaker 2: at January and that was through either you know, deportations
- 7:59Speaker 2: by the government or through self deportation through you know,
- 8:03Speaker 2: the deportation program that DHS has going on. So I
- 8:07Speaker 2: think too, you're probably going to see a lot of
- 8:09Speaker 2: touting from the President on the border and the economic
- 8:12Speaker 2: effects of that. I know, rent prices have gone down.
- 8:15Speaker 2: What blows my mind, Brian, especially on this front, the
- 8:19Speaker 2: rent prices. I live in this building in d C.
- 8:23Speaker 2: And you know rent rent's been high, right. I moved
- 8:26Speaker 2: here under Biden, the heigh of Biden, and I'm moving
- 8:29Speaker 2: to a nicer unit in my building. You know, three
- 8:32Speaker 2: years down the line here after I got to d C,
- 8:35Speaker 2: and the rent's going to be two hundred dollars less
- 8:37Speaker 2: than what I've been paying, so I mean, I think
- 8:42Speaker 2: I certainly see the effects of this. I think other Americans,
- 8:46Speaker 2: you know, it's you know where they assign. You know,
- 8:50Speaker 2: the outcome of that too, whether it's President Trump or whatever.
- 8:54Speaker 2: I mean, that remains to be seen. But I certainly
- 8:56Speaker 2: see some of the effects.
- 8:57Speaker 1: Of this well, and as do most of my Americans.
- 9:00Speaker 1: I think they appreciate that. But let me ask you this,
- 9:02Speaker 1: because one of the other issues that's floating around out there,
- 9:05Speaker 1: and something that the American people are overwhelmingly in favor
- 9:08Speaker 1: of and that no one seems to really have a
- 9:10Speaker 1: problem with in their day to day life, that's a
- 9:12Speaker 1: photo I'd eat to vote. We're the only developed country
- 9:14Speaker 1: in the world that doesn't require that. Eighty percent, roughly
- 9:17Speaker 1: of the American people surveyed say no problem at all,
- 9:19Speaker 1: and that's great with me. Do you think that Donald
- 9:23Speaker 1: Trump will bring up the Save Act? And we'll let
- 9:25Speaker 1: me just tell my listeners. Beyond calling Bernie Marino and
- 9:28Speaker 1: other elected officials from Ohio, I think we need to
- 9:30Speaker 1: light the phones up at Mitch McConnell's office. Thank you,
- 9:33Speaker 1: Drew Pappas he reminded me the Mitch McConnell's blocking the
- 9:36Speaker 1: Save Act from even getting a vote. Why in the
- 9:37Speaker 1: hell would Mitch McConnell stand in the way of something
- 9:40Speaker 1: so many people want. But do you think to the
- 9:42Speaker 1: larger point that Donald Trump will bring that up tonight
- 9:44Speaker 1: during the address?
- 9:46Speaker 2: Yeah, I think President Trump certainly will bring that up tonight,
- 9:49Speaker 2: especially where he has you know, both chambers of Congress there,
- 9:52Speaker 2: and we'll see if the Democrats show up. And I
- 9:56Speaker 2: think Mitch mcconnald's just a quintessential establishment Republican in just
- 10:00Speaker 2: opposing Trump. You know, he's opposed Trump on a lot
- 10:04Speaker 2: of things. Of course, he did try and get get
- 10:07Speaker 2: some things done there for the president of the first term,
- 10:09Speaker 2: but he's an ever Trumper in my book. And of
- 10:12Speaker 2: course I think there might be some you know, sour
- 10:14Speaker 2: grapes over the you know, Republican Senate primary going on
- 10:19Speaker 2: in Kentucky to replace Mitch McConnell.
- 10:21Speaker 1: Well, mit, mean, come on, do your job. You reflect
- 10:25Speaker 1: the will of the American people. And I guarantee, as
- 10:28Speaker 1: sure as I'm sitting here, as read as Kentucky is
- 10:30Speaker 1: probably every man woman in shot on the state of
- 10:32Speaker 1: Kentucky is all in favor of the Save Act. So Mitch,
- 10:35Speaker 1: you know, represent your own people and the American people
- 10:37Speaker 1: do something right for a change.
- 10:40Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's where the disconnect is, right, Brian.
- 10:42Speaker 2: And then I think I think there's seventy one percent
- 10:45Speaker 2: of Democrats in one of the latest polls I saw
- 10:49Speaker 2: support to say that. I know, so this is like
- 10:52Speaker 2: and like you said, eighty percent of all Americans. So
- 10:54Speaker 2: it's amazing to me that this is such a bipartisan
- 10:58Speaker 2: issue among the electorate. And you know that Democrats don't
- 11:02Speaker 2: want to play ball. Mitch McConnell doesn't want to play
- 11:04Speaker 2: ball on this, And I think it's something you know,
- 11:08Speaker 2: I think this is something that would absolutely safeguard our elections,
- 11:11Speaker 2: make sure that only United States citizens with the right
- 11:14Speaker 2: to vote can actually vote. And yeah, I think the
- 11:19Speaker 2: American people want it. I think it'd be something very
- 11:22Speaker 2: It's not a difficult thing to do, right, I think.
- 11:25Speaker 2: I think it's just passing legislation through both houses and
- 11:29Speaker 2: getting it to the President's desk. So and of course Democrats,
- 11:33Speaker 2: you know, and McConnell and whatnot, want to wake this out,
- 11:37Speaker 2: want to try and ride this out to mid terms
- 11:39Speaker 2: that they want, you know, Democrats to take the House
- 11:43Speaker 2: or maybe the Senate too is I'm sure you know
- 11:45Speaker 2: that's the end game goal here, so they can, you know,
- 11:49Speaker 2: kind of put this to bed and not not have
- 11:51Speaker 2: to worry about it for the rest of the administration.
- 11:53Speaker 2: But it's important that the President goes out there tonight.
- 11:56Speaker 2: Every camera in the world, every news station in the
- 11:59Speaker 2: world is going to be run into the speech, and
- 12:01Speaker 2: I think he has a great platform to go out
- 12:04Speaker 2: and make the case for the Save.
- 12:05Speaker 1: Act, the Save Act, and also he can, I think,
- 12:08Speaker 1: even gloat on energy policies. We're all experiencing some wonderfully
- 12:12Speaker 1: low gasoline prices, with the exception of Gavin Newsence California,
- 12:15Speaker 1: for obvious reasons. Nick white House, correspondent from Breitbart Nick gilbertson,
- 12:20Speaker 1: do you think we have finally seen the end of
- 12:22Speaker 1: the climate religion? That plant food is not bad for
- 12:24Speaker 1: the atmosphere? And I would like to pivot over pointing
- 12:27Speaker 1: out that even Democrats have to concede that artificial intelligence
- 12:30Speaker 1: is the wave of the future, and that windmills and
- 12:32Speaker 1: solar panels will not pride the power that we need.
- 12:35Speaker 1: It won't even provide the power for a growing American population.
- 12:39Speaker 1: I think he can gloat all day long on energy
- 12:41Speaker 1: policy and the expansion of it. And how about small
- 12:44Speaker 1: modular reactors to throw in there as well.
- 12:47Speaker 2: Yeah, I think energy policy is something that kind of
- 12:49Speaker 2: gets overlooked, but it's such a huge part of the
- 12:52Speaker 2: economy and it's something that touches every single one of
- 12:54Speaker 2: our lives.
- 12:55Speaker 1: You know.
- 12:56Speaker 2: Gasoline is a more kind of in your face example
- 12:59Speaker 2: when you see the gas prices every day and you know,
- 13:02Speaker 2: every week and you've got to fill up your tank
- 13:04Speaker 2: and you go, oh, yeah, look they're down two dollars
- 13:07Speaker 2: since Joe Biden was president, right, Like, you know, these
- 13:10Speaker 2: policies are doing good and then are good for Americans.
- 13:14Speaker 2: And then on top of that, you know, the price
- 13:17Speaker 2: you don't see every day is every good on the
- 13:20Speaker 2: shelf that you go to in the store was transported there,
- 13:23Speaker 2: and there's a cost in the good of you know,
- 13:26Speaker 2: the the energy that went into making it, getting it
- 13:30Speaker 2: to the store, putting it on the shelf. You know.
- 13:33Speaker 2: So and I think, you know, a big part of
- 13:36Speaker 2: the slow inflation inflation here over the past year has
- 13:41Speaker 2: been the energy policies of the Thump administration and kind
- 13:44Speaker 2: of and kind of unleashing you know, the range here
- 13:49Speaker 2: that Democrats and the Biden administration had put on all
- 13:53Speaker 2: these you know, energy companies, whether you know it's oil,
- 13:56Speaker 2: natural gas, and I think too, you know, like the
- 14:00Speaker 2: President has I believe it was nine point two trillion
- 14:03Speaker 2: dollars in investments in the United States since he's returned
- 14:06Speaker 2: to office. Those are tangible ones at the White House list,
- 14:09Speaker 2: I know the presidents of eighteen trillion. But that's mainly
- 14:14Speaker 2: a direct result of a lot of you know, these
- 14:17Speaker 2: this AI investment and a lot of these companies. You know,
- 14:21Speaker 2: you need the energy right to make this AI and
- 14:25Speaker 2: electricity work, you need all this stuff. So a lot
- 14:28Speaker 2: of that is investment in with ways to manufacture energy
- 14:32Speaker 2: to make sure these AI plants, you know, get up
- 14:35Speaker 2: and running. So and that another point about the economy.
- 14:38Speaker 2: I think people are going to see a massive boom here,
- 14:41Speaker 2: you know, over the next couple of years, is things
- 14:44Speaker 2: get underway. You know, the President often talks about, you know,
- 14:47Speaker 2: when will we see it right reporters reporters sent to
- 14:50Speaker 2: ask him, and he's like, well, look, you're seeing the
- 14:53Speaker 2: construction jobs right now. They're putting the infrastructure in place
- 14:56Speaker 2: for all this stuff. And then you know, when you
- 14:59Speaker 2: get beyond that and you have you know, the facilities
- 15:02Speaker 2: up and running, then you have all these jobs for Americans.
- 15:04Speaker 2: You're going to see energy prices cheap and even more.
- 15:07Speaker 2: I think indeed so. And of course this is all
- 15:11Speaker 2: has to do with the AI race with China as.
- 15:12Speaker 1: Well, no doubt about it. Well, and you know I
- 15:14Speaker 1: got to mention cheaper entered, cheaper gasoline and diesel prices.
- 15:17Speaker 1: That means the cheaper to ship the windmill parts to
- 15:19Speaker 1: wherever you're building it. Real quick, fory Park coming Nick Gilberts,
- 15:22Speaker 1: and he's the White House correspondent of bright part you'll
- 15:24Speaker 1: be able to read what Nick Nick's assessment of the
- 15:26Speaker 1: State of the Union address is probably tomorrow and Breitbart.
- 15:29Speaker 1: I just noticed one other great piece of information. Positive
- 15:32Speaker 1: mortgage rates just drop below six percent yesterday average rate
- 15:35Speaker 1: on the popular thirty year fix now five point nine
- 15:38Speaker 1: nine percent average. It's going in the right direction. Something
- 15:40Speaker 1: else is going to be welsome relief to the would
- 15:43Speaker 1: be homeowner.
- 15:44Speaker 2: Nick. Yeah, absolutely, I think that. You know, that's another
- 15:47Speaker 2: thing the President's going to cover, right, you know, lowering
- 15:50Speaker 2: mortgage rates. I know how difficult it is for a
- 15:53Speaker 2: lot of you know, especially Americans and their thirties and
- 15:57Speaker 2: forties are looking to get their their first house here
- 16:00Speaker 2: and start a family and stuff. And when you can,
- 16:04Speaker 2: you know, reduce the costs and more totroduce the costs
- 16:07Speaker 2: to get to get in the door and have a home.
- 16:11Speaker 2: That that perpetuates, you know, fosters a kind of atmosphere
- 16:16Speaker 2: where people can pursue the American dream, have families, all
- 16:19Speaker 2: that stuff.
- 16:20Speaker 1: So I hope they do have families, Nick, Hope they do.
- 16:24Speaker 1: Nick governs around of time. Love having you on the program.
- 16:26Speaker 1: Keep up the great work at Breitbart and again book
- 16:28Speaker 1: Breitbart dot com. You'd be glad you did read about
- 16:30Speaker 1: Nick's read nix comments tomorrow on this date of the Union. Nick,
- 16:33Speaker 1: thanks for your time that he keep up the great work.
- 16:35Speaker 1: We'll talk again real soon, I hope,
