Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: Here's your host, Alex Garrett. All right, well, on the
- 0:08Speaker 1: one look up Alex news side of things today, I
- 0:10Speaker 1: have to say we're gonna give it a breather on
- 0:13Speaker 1: the Epstein files. I want to see them released. The
- 0:16Speaker 1: House is supposed to approve them. The release of them.
- 0:19Speaker 1: Then I'll react here because all this is right now speculation.
- 0:23Speaker 1: Just show us what's in the files. Then I'll react
- 0:25Speaker 1: with hardcore evidence. But here's the thing that's fascinating me
- 0:30Speaker 1: right now. All one, look up, Alex News. Hey, did
- 0:33Speaker 1: you know the UN Security Council approved Trump's peace plan
- 0:39Speaker 1: for Gaza. That's right, the UN Security Council, which I
- 0:43Speaker 1: thought should have been abolished so to be honest, actually
- 0:47Speaker 1: said let's adopt the peace plan for Gaza, and we're
- 0:51Speaker 1: gonna keep an eye on that as that unfolds. But
- 0:55Speaker 1: the other story that I think is interesting is this
- 0:58Speaker 1: two thousand dollars dividend. As you may know by now
- 1:02Speaker 1: you're on one look a Balax and elsewhere the UH
- 1:08Speaker 1: the country was promised two thousand dollars tariff dividends as
- 1:12Speaker 1: a way to offset the costs the tariffs have done
- 1:15Speaker 1: to the goods and services to the foods to the groceries.
- 1:21Speaker 1: But the question was when, And this weekend we got
- 1:24Speaker 1: an answer from the mastermind of this idea, President Donald
- 1:28Speaker 1: Trump himself.
- 1:30Speaker 2: It's a chucker outside the American see those times will
- 1:34Speaker 2: be in time for Christinas all the South. Were got
- 1:36Speaker 2: to know that for this year.
- 1:37Speaker 1: It'll be next year.
- 1:38Speaker 2: So do you haven't time for sometime during the year
- 1:41Speaker 2: next year. It's a lot of money, but we've taken
- 1:44Speaker 2: in a lot of money from teriffs. The tariffs allow
- 1:47Speaker 2: us to give a dividend if we want to do that. Now,
- 1:50Speaker 2: we're going to do a dividend, and we're also going
- 1:53Speaker 2: to be reducing it. We have because of fighting and others.
- 1:58Speaker 2: We have thirty seven So we're going to be doing
- 2:02Speaker 2: a dividend because people.
- 2:03Speaker 1: Will to enjoy and spend and do what they want.
- 2:06Speaker 2: But we're also going to be reducing deadly. Now.
- 2:09Speaker 1: The interesting thing is about this is there's no actual
- 2:12Speaker 1: proposal on the table. It's just an idea. Trump's been
- 2:15Speaker 1: floating to do the two thousand dollars dividend. I don't
- 2:19Speaker 1: see why the Supreme Court would block it, but I
- 2:24Speaker 1: do see how a two thousand dollars difendend check in
- 2:27Speaker 1: twenty twenty six would be so impactful for people, and
- 2:34Speaker 1: I think that he needs to go through with this.
- 2:39Speaker 1: I think that these dividends would pay dividends for the
- 2:43Speaker 1: Americans that have been struggling because of all these cost
- 2:48Speaker 1: tikes due to the tariffs. There's no doubt there have
- 2:51Speaker 1: been cost tikes. And the other idea was going to
- 2:54Speaker 1: be maybe doing it a different way. It could be
- 2:59Speaker 1: in the form of tax cuts such as no tax
- 3:01Speaker 1: on tips or overtime or potentially direct payments. And that's
- 3:07Speaker 1: because economists are saying tariffs could increase by two thousand dollars,
- 3:14Speaker 1: increase cost of goods for the average house by two
- 3:17Speaker 1: thousand dollars, so this would be offsetting those costs. Look
- 3:22Speaker 1: I like the idea. I like the idea, and can
- 3:25Speaker 1: we just put the Epsteine Files drama aside and say, well,
- 3:28Speaker 1: there's something positive to look forward to. Trump tax cuts.
- 3:34Speaker 1: Trump cuts through the form of a tax dividend of
- 3:37Speaker 1: through a tariff dividend of two thousand dollars. Honestly, who
- 3:42Speaker 1: would you want that? Who wouldn't want that? And I
- 3:46Speaker 1: want to go back and cover the one leg U
- 3:50Speaker 1: award of the day. Yesterday was the runner of the
- 3:54Speaker 1: five K. Today it is the United States, the United
- 3:59Speaker 1: Nations Security Council. Do you want to know why, Because,
- 4:06Speaker 1: as I mentioned earlier, they're approving Trump's twenty point police
- 4:11Speaker 1: peace plan for Gaza, which turns the plan into an
- 4:18Speaker 1: international mandate, allowing securities to stall, security and reconstruction for
- 4:23Speaker 1: measures to move forward. And it's a major victory for administration.
- 4:32Speaker 1: Diplomacy rates the New York Post as it struggles to
- 4:35Speaker 1: implement its blueprint for what Trump has said would be
- 4:38Speaker 1: a new down for them. At least provides a legal
- 4:40Speaker 1: mandate for key parts of the plan, including persuading other
- 4:44Speaker 1: countries to provide troops for an international security force that
- 4:48Speaker 1: will take over security in half of Gaza, from which
- 4:51Speaker 1: Israel has withdrawn, and a statement after the vote, US
- 4:56Speaker 1: Ambassador of the UN Michael Waltz expressed thanks to the members
- 5:00Speaker 1: for joining us in charting a new course in the
- 5:03Speaker 1: Middle East for Israelis and Palestinians and all people in
- 5:06Speaker 1: the region. The fifteen Council members had remained unclear during
- 5:14Speaker 1: a week of tense negotiations, with many demanding more clarity
- 5:18Speaker 1: on the peace plan. Trump introduced this past September, if
- 5:22Speaker 1: you remember, including an early role for the Palestinian authority
- 5:25Speaker 1: in rebuilding Gaza and a firmer commitment to an eventual
- 5:29Speaker 1: Palestinian state. That's what was in the plan. Interesting several
- 5:37Speaker 1: countries have voted in favor, said in remarks following that
- 5:40Speaker 1: the vote the vote that they still sought those commitments
- 5:44Speaker 1: and would be watching carefully to see progress. Hamas and
- 5:52Speaker 1: his statement said the resolution does not make the level
- 5:55Speaker 1: of Palestinian political and humanitarian demands. How are you to
- 6:00Speaker 1: talk about humanitarian demands? Amas, shut the FOP, man, shut
- 6:03Speaker 1: the FOP. Really, we should blow you out of the water.
- 6:06Speaker 1: Humanitarian demands? Who were you to talk about humanitarian demands?
- 6:17Speaker 1: But the turning in the weapons as part of the
- 6:20Speaker 1: police plan demands Hamas must remain an internal national manner.
- 6:29Speaker 1: So they're not going anywhere anytime soon. We knew that.
- 6:32Speaker 1: But hopefully the UN Security Council can approve this. Since
- 6:35Speaker 1: there it's approval, it can move forward and we can
- 6:39Speaker 1: disarm Hamas, and we can make it a better region
- 6:41Speaker 1: than Gods, and we can make it livable. That's why
- 6:46Speaker 1: this approval gives me hope and gives me hope that
- 6:49Speaker 1: the UN isn't too far gone and too far into
- 6:52Speaker 1: Semitic because that plan benefits Israel too. So good on
- 7:00Speaker 1: the UN Security Council for approving this measure, and you
- 7:04Speaker 1: get the one Lagup Award of the Day presented by
- 7:07Speaker 1: one Lega Ballots for November eighteenth, twenty twenty five.
