• 0:05
  Speaker 1: All right, I'm going to give you a little warning
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: for this one, for this whole episode. I'm talking about
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: politicians in this one. Not politics, but politicians. And you
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: may be thinking, oh, my God, I can't listen to
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: these freaking midterms anymore, these politicians and these talking heads.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: And I get it. In a weird kind of way,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: that's exactly why we're talking about it, because there's something interesting,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: really interesting happened that affects all of us that actually
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: should be welcome to everybody, whether you're far left, you're right,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: you're red, you're blue, you're in the middle, whatever the hell.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Something happening with this convergence of all these things that's
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: going to tell us everything over the next 50 days.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: And it's great. It's great for regular patriotic Americans because
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: at least you're going to know where everybody stands because
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: they kind of have to. Why is that? Well, because
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: of what happened with those midterms. Also because of the
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: particular guy that's in the White House right now. Also
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: because of the reaction from, and this is the really
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: important part, regular everyday Americans and what they're saying about
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: those particular things and the pressure that everybody and this
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: is where it matters is putting on these politicians it'll
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: change after the next 50 days they'll go back into
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: hiding where they can like pretend that they vote and
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: this is this is democrat or republican doesn't matter it's
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: one big uniparty they'll pretend they're voting one way and
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: they do this and who they support the next 50
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: days they can't so this is all revealing and instead
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: of looking at this as a political thing right Just
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: look at it as a character reading thing or a
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: personal assessment of these people. Because over the next 50 days,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: if we pay attention, even though, yes, it's from the
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: swampy world of politics, this will tell us who our
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: elected leaders are right now. It's a pretty fascinating time,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: but it doesn't happen a lot. And I'll tell you
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: how to see who's revealing what here in just a second.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Thanks for finding me. I appreciate your late start today.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: But 8 a.m.-ish Eastern Time on X and YouTube and Facebook.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: is when Wicked Radio live stream happens on those same networks.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: But the replay is always on there. Audio podcast, thanks
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: for finding that, sharing it along, and the downloads and
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: likes and streams and all that good stuff. Appreciate you
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: so much. All right, this is what's happening. Let's get
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: right to it. So the House Freedom Caucus, there's a term,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: there's a name and a label you've probably heard of before.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: They got together and they made an announcement yesterday. They finally,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: you know, got back to Washington, got back from campaigning
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: and vacations, and they decided that they were going to
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: get together and decide, all right, This is the agenda.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: About 50 days, 52 when they said it yesterday, we
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: have control of the House and the Senate, and we've
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: got President Trump in the White House. These are the
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: things we want to get done over the next 50 days.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: All right, that's good for everybody. That's good for, you know,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: if you're a Republican voter and you're a conservative and
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: you're upset about how the midterms went, you're like, all right,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: at least something's doing something and you're stating what you
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: want to get done. That's good. If you're a liberal
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: and a far-left Democrat, you should like this too. Because
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: you know exactly what the truth is and where they're
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: coming from and what they're trying to get done over
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: the next 50 or so days. That's good. What's in
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: this agenda before we get to them? Some of them
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: are well-spoken. Some of them are just a crock. Not
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: the agenda. I mean the speakers. But here you go.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: So this is what they put forward to make it
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: plain for everybody to see. And that's the first piece
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: of good news for everybody. Because at least you know
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: what they're trying to do. The eight-point plan they're going
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: to push forward. Now, this is from the House, remember,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: so they're going to try to get this over to
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: the Senate, and they're basically saying, Senate, what are you doing?
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: The guy that just lost you the midterms, John Thune,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: just got reelected as the Republican leader again. That's like
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: a baseball manager that lost 162 games and you just
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: rehired him. Like, what are you doing? That's a whole
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: other issue. But this is the eight-point plan the Freedom
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Caucus came up with. Number one, pass a reconciliation bill
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: for the deficit and tax relief. I mean, no matter
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: how you vote, you would want tax relief, right? Codify
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Trump's border policies and ban sanctuary cities. Personally, this is
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: just me speaking of my opinion. That's the one I
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: was looking for. Because if we go to a situation
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: where they just open the border again as soon as
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: they're in control, that's bad news. So codify would mean
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: make it permanent. Pass a continuing resolution to limit spending
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: without poison pills. Energy permitting reform. Ban stock trading across government. Again,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: isn't this something that everybody should be in favor of?
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: You know, once a politician gets into office, you shouldn't
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: be able to ban stocks. Like Nancy Pelosi is the
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: glaring example. She has for decades has beaten the S
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: & P. You know, you happen to sit on a
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: committee and you get inside information about what is going
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: to happen to one of these companies. And all of
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: a sudden you buy or sell your stock. How is that?
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: How is that legal? Anyway. Only pass fiscally responsible reauthorization bills.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Pass voter ID requirement for federal elections. Confirm as many
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: of Trump's nominees as possible. That's what this House Freedom
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Caucus wants. They had a big press conference yesterday to
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: announce it. A couple of these people spoke very well.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: This guy should not ever be in front of a microphone, ever.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I do this for comedic relief. Here's Clay Higgins. What
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: he's saying makes perfect sense. This is their problem over
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: there on the right-hand side. I couldn't even listen to
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: past five words what this guy was.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: House Freedom Caucus.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Is calm and steady.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: We have presented to leadership and.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: We're calm and steady. You're not calm and steady. You're comatose.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: That's what people can't relate to. I swear to God,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I thought he was having a stroke or something. That's
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Clay Higgins, Representative Clay Higgins. I didn't listen to the
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: rest of it. I'm sure what he's saying is brilliant.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I'm sure, fine, whatever, great. And leadership-wise, they've got to
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: let him speak first, fine, whatever. There's a big part
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: of your problem over there on the Republican side. That's
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: a big problem, that guy, because you can't listen to him.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: We're calm and we're scared. Does that sound like anybody
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: that's going to get anything done? It does not, okay?
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: But get him out of the way. Get him out
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: of the way. Here's somebody that's not as calm or steady,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: but much better spoken. Mary Miller, now she points out,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: she's a representative as well, she's a congresswoman, she points
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: out this timeline of this next 50 days I was
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: talking about. She said like 52 or whatever, but still,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: let's call it 50 as a nice round number. The
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: timeline is on to expose all these people to see
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: who gets something done for the American people and who doesn't.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: I'll say it again, this is good news, crunch time
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: for all of us, Democrats, Republicans, Independents, everybody, because we
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: get to see what's what. The cards have to be
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: on the table in this next shortened period of time.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: That's a good thing.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Good afternoon, everyone. Republicans still control the House and the Senate.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: President Trump is still in the White House. Our work
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: is far from over. And I agree we should stay
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: here until the time runs out.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: We have less than 60 days.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Remaining in this Congress to codify all of our victories,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: and there's no excuse for wasting a single day. President
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Trump has taken bold executive action to secure the border,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: stop the green scam, and cut wasteful spending, and much more.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Congress has an opportunity to make these policies permanent.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: That's the codify part of this whole thing. So who
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: will vote for it?
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Who won't?
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Who campaigned on these same policies and who didn't? Who's
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: just going to push against it because ideologically they won't
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: do it? You see what I'm saying? Now we get
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: to see. It's like a poker game. Now we get
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: to see all the hands of all the players. We
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: get to see what's what. It's a rare opportunity. It's
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: ridiculous we have to get to this point where it
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: gets pushed to the brink. We get to see who's
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: full of crap and who's not. But we have it.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: How about this question, though? Will we really actually get
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: to that point? Is it just wishful thinking that any
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: of this stuff is going to get done, if you're
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: hoping for that, on the red team side? Or is
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: it not? Don't know. But one thing that is the
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: only thing that's guaranteed out of all of this stuff
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: is you're going to get an idea of exactly where
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: everybody stands, and that's good.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Dave McCormick, though, he's an actual senator. He's in the Senate.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: He's hopeful that this stuff, that House Freedom Caucus is
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: pushing forward. He thinks it can get done. He was
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: on Laura Ingraham last night. This is what he said
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: and how they want to do it.
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: We got thumped in the election. And when you get thumped,
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: I think you got to do two things. You got
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: to make sure there's accountability and you got to reflect
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: on what the lessons learned were from from that thumping.
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: We had a great session earlier this week. I think
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: seven or eight hours we were together. And I think
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: our conference came out aligned on a couple key priorities.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: Number one, those judicial appointments. We can make a lot
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: of progress. And I think there was a consensus. Everybody's
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: willing to expand the calendar as much as possible, as
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: you said, to make the most of every single day.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: All right. Everything that's being said. From a guy like that,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: it seems to make sense. We're aligned. We think we
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: can get it done. There's positivity. There's this and that. Fine.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: But we've all, as Americans, heard that before. We've heard
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: it from the left. We've heard it from the right.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: We've heard it from, again, this is a little different
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: this time because of all these elements coming together. At
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: the very least, and I think this is the most
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: valuable thing of all, you're going to see exactly where
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: all of these politicians stand. Are they staying true to
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: what they campaigned on? Are they staying true to what
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: they've been saying for the past few years? Let's find out.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: But there's another positive thing, which at first you might
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: see as another negative. Because let's face it, we've all
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: been beaten down so much by Washington, D.C., swampy, political, crappy,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: corrupt politicians, right? That you hear the fighting, and it's on,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: it happens to all of us. You hear the infighting
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: and the yelling back and forth. You're like, just let
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: me live my life. I don't want to deal with
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: this anymore. But I will tell you this, I'll offer this.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: A little bit different this time. It's going back again
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: to this House Freedom Caucus for a quick second, and
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: they're specifically calling out their own leadership. which is good.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: You're probably going to see this from the Democrats as
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: they fight to see who's in control of that thing, too.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: There are times when these swampy rat politicians, when they
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: fight each other, is good for all of us normal people.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: It is good. Because again, I guess it falls in
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: line with that. You find out where their cards are,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: but you also find out who's going to come out
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: on top, and you find out who's.
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: working in the interest of the american people this was
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: again them calling out this john thin character over there
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: in the senate leader soon uh.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: suck it up that's the legislative process if the legislative
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: process on reconciliation is not easy it is difficult but
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: it's exceedingly important so again if uh... his excuses well
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: they might offer amendments uh.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: yeah uh.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: if you want a job where you're not dealing with
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: amendments i suggest you don't go to a legislature.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Well, there you go. Again, at the surface, it sounds
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: like any normal other time without these 50 days and
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: this crunch time period, you'd think, oh, my God, it's
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: just politicians fighting with each other. Yeah, but that guy's
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: in his own party. Yeah, but that happens all the time. No,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: they're calling out leadership in that party. And Democrats will
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: do it, too. Isn't one of the rare cases where
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: all that noise, all that yelling and infighting, it's a
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: good thing. It's a good thing for us. But the same,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: it's the common denominator. We're going to find out what's up.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: And we may find out that it's worse than we thought. Maybe.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: We may find out that they actually are, like Dave
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: McCormick says from Pennsylvania. They are actually going to listen
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: to the American people. The one thing I've thought about
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: for sure and have come away with as a conclusion
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: since those midterms and that result is, I think they
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: for sure, all of these politicians, Democrats and Republicans, I
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: think they got the message that Americans are pissed. I do.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Because everybody is. There's not been a level of distrust
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: and anger in this country in a long time. That's
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: for sure I think they got that message. I'd be
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: pretty confident in saying that. What we don't know yet
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: is how they're going to react to it. We'll see.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: We shall see. Now, this may get bogged down into,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: and Trump's already hinted at it, that these election results
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: were not fair and it's statistically improbable, which may be
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: the case. But really, let's hope the focus is on everybody.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Everybody should want this, that they are above board and
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: cards on the table, Chips pushed in the middle, and
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: you find out exactly who's full of crap and who's not,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: because we're about to, and it's rare. Because normally any
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: other time, they can just hide behind, like so many
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: of these politicians did before the midterms. Yeah, I support
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: this policy, and I'm there, and they were trying to
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: do that to make Trump and MAGA Republicans happy, and
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: then they didn't do anything, right? I don't know if
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: they can get away with this over these next 50 days.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: So you should take this as good news as even
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: a Democrat, that this House Freedom Caucus over there is
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: pushing forward something. Because it's good. Because what happens now,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: apply it out of, take this out of the swampy D.C.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: political world and what happens up there in Congress, that
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: den of iniquity, and apply it to your personal life.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Let's just say you got somebody in your company and
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: they were told, some sort of a middle manager, and
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: they were told you got 50 days to shape this up,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: to turn this around. Here are your five or ten
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: objectives to get it done. Here are the tools to
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: get it done. Here's what you need to do. You
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: find out exactly if they can do it or not
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: in that timeline. There's no more hiding. There's no more
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: lack of accountability. There's no more nothing. Just like in work.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: This is one of those rare times where they have
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: to actually be accountable. We shall see, my friends. So
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: don't look at it as politics. Look at it as
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: character assessment. We'll find out who's full of crap. And
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: that's a good thing. You should celebrate this kind of
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: thing because it's rare. All right. Hopefully no politics tomorrow.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: We'll find out. And it'll be the weekend, so we'll
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: talk about weekend stuff. I hope we'll find out. Whatever's
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: in the news, we'll talk about it. We'll come up
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: with a way on how to deal with the news,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: not to look at it in a different way and
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: reframe it. That's what I do with Wicked Radio on
• 13:51
