Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's that time. Time, time, time.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Luck and load. The Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Every veteran.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
In our listening audience, every family member of a veteran
in our listening audience. Something very important happened today. You
have to draw distinctions when you're trying to choose who
should be our president. You have to see the very
(00:49):
clear differences. Today is the third anniversary of the bombing
at the Kabul Airport in Afghanistan killed thirteen of our
brave US service members. ABC News at the time three
years ago. Today broke into regularly scheduled programming with a
(01:11):
special report.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
President Biden always said that he wants you to be
the last person in the room, particularly for big decisions,
just as he was for President Obama. He just made
a really big decision Afghanistan. Yes, were you the last
person in the room? Yes, and you feel comfortable?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
I do.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Good afternoon, and we are coming on the air at
this hour with breaking news and it's difficult the latest
details in the bomb attack outside the airport and cobble.
Others are being treated for wounds. A number of Afghans
fell victim to this heinous attack. You're looking at the
very difficult pictures coming in from the scene, and we
warn you many of these images of our graphic. A
(01:49):
suspected suicide bomber detonating near the abbey gate at the airport.
That's one of the main entrances of the airport. Again,
the Pentagon just moments ago reporting a number of the
US service members were.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Killed at the Kabo Airport.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
That area, of course packed with Afghan people desperate to
get out of the country, the Pentagon calling this a
complex attack, just five days before the US deadline to
withdraw from Afghanistan. Kabble Emergency Hospital at this hour telling
ABC News it has received about sixty wounded people so far.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
It didn't have to happen. These are the decisions that
cost lives. Before you blame Joe Biden, remember Susan Rice
told us Susan Rice was Barack Obama's brain on foreign affairs,
(02:49):
national security affairs. She told us, don't insult Kamala by
saying she's not in charge, because she's right there making decisions.
And remember she took charge of this issue. She said
she was the quote last person in the room end
(03:13):
quote for the planning of that debacle of a withdrawal.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
President Biden always said that he wants you to be
the last person in the room, particularly for big decisions,
just as he was for President Obama. He just made
a really big decision Afghanistan.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Yes, were you the last person in the room? Yes?
And you feel comfortable? I do now. I know you
know this, so forgive me. Sometimes I listen or watch
something and I think they're talking over my head. They're
using jargon that I don't know. So let me explain this.
(03:54):
If a board for a company, or the school board
for that matter, is making a big decision, you may
say to some of the staff members, can y'all please leave?
We need to have a conversation. And let's say you
(04:15):
have an eight member board, nine member board. The chairman
may say, can I get everybody to leave except for
me and Susie. I need to talk about something separately.
Sure people will get up. The last person in the
room is the one running the meeting. That is the
(04:38):
decid the decision maker. What she is saying there, it's
not a reference to where somebody was and whether they
had coffee. The last person in the room is the
person who opens the door and shows people out. They
(05:00):
leave the language here. This very important symbolism is she
was in charge of the Afghanistan withdrawal that resulted in
thirteen service members killed and has been said by everyone
(05:23):
and anyone involved, it was absolutely botched, horribly So so
listen to that again.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
President Biden always said that he wants you to be
the last person in the room, particularly for big decisions,
just as he was for President Obama. He just made
a really big decision Afghanistan. Yes, were you the last
person in the room? Yes, and you feel comfortable?
Speaker 4 (05:48):
I do.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
So.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Thirteen gold Star families now lost their love one. So
that a person who has no business making big decisions.
But she's a black woman. Remember Biden had to pick
(06:16):
a black woman. We've established that. I don't need to
go back and pull you all the audio. He had
to pick a black woman. They pressured him. He had
to do it. That's what had to happen. Kamala Harris
is not dumb because she's a black woman. Kamala Harris
(06:36):
is dumb. She is vice president because she's a black woman.
There are lots of dumb people. There are lots of
people who have no business being vice president, much less president.
Lots of people, and there's nothing wrong with that, but
they don't need to be in that position. You don't
(06:59):
let a guy play quarterback for your school or your
pro team who can't throw the ball. When he goes
to throw the ball forward, it goes backward. It doesn't
make you a bad person that you can't throw a football,
but it also doesn't mean you're a made quarterback. You
(07:19):
could be an absolute spaz unable to pick up a
football and throw it forward ten yards. When you do it,
it falls out of your hand and goes the other direction.
And that's okay, But we don't say, you know what,
we have to have a person who throws the ball
the opposite direction at quarterback. I want to be clear,
you understand what I'm saying here. Kamala Harris is not
(07:43):
a dumb dumb because she's a black woman. She is
vice president because she's a black woman. She didn't choose
her race or ethnicity. Now she does seem to pick
and choose depend on who the audiences. There is nothing
(08:03):
wrong with her having no leadership skills, no discernment, no
strategic mindset. That's okay, lots of people don't, but she
has no business being in that room and she's not
there because she has any of those skills, and people
(08:26):
died as a result of it, and that's real. We're
going to talk about her economic policy coming up for
the stick to the issues crowd. Those of you who
want me to stick to the issues, You're going to
get some stick to the issues because I'm going to
taste something. It's going to cost businesses are going to close,
your stock portfolio is going to decrease, your retirement account
(08:50):
is going to decrease, your wages are going to go down.
If she is president. Telling them, you're gonna understand. Why
come on a relaying ceremony for the thirteen service members
who died in Afghanistan. President Trump, of course was there,
(09:17):
and I have to think that gave the families a
great deal of solace. The Democrats have tried to lay
the blame for the botched withdrawal on President Trump. Which
is what you do, right, You tell the low information voter,
you don't allow anyone to disagree, right, you cancel them
(09:40):
on Facebook, you don't offer an alternative opinion on your network.
And some people still don't understand and really never will,
that the game is rigged, that you're not getting the
fair news, the full news. So they want to blame
Trump for the withdrawal, which occurred August twenty sixth of
(10:05):
twenty twenty one. Joe Biden took office October January twentieth, February, March, April, May,
June July August, seven months in one week, he was
fully the president. President Trump did not plan the withdrawal,
(10:29):
did not give the order for the details of the withdrawal.
But let me tell you what President Trump did do.
He got us out of a forever war. And that's
what the Republicans didn't want to happen. And this is
why the establishment hates him. Because the establishment is owned
(10:53):
by the lobby for the gun, MREs fighter as you
name it, the provisions that are the provisions of our military.
The companies of military industrial Complex owns Congress, and they
(11:16):
need forever wars. And they'll even invest. They'll do a
flyover for your event. They'll buy a nice flag for
your loved one that can be draped on their coffin
when they come home at twenty two years old. And Bill,
they'll pay for think tank retired generals and colonels to
(11:42):
be on Fox News and news nation every night talking
about how we've got to defend our nation. We're the
providers of safety, and we're the this, and we're the that.
We're the the we is your son's the we is
your son. We have to do this. You have to
do this. They're taking your money in taxes and they're
(12:06):
taking your boys to war. Do we win those wars?
Let's see, did we win Iraq? Oh, we toppled Saddam Hussein?
Did we win the war? We destabilized that nation, We
(12:27):
destabilized the region. We eliminated the counterbalance to Iran, their
mortal enemy. And now Iran is the monster of the
region because they're not occupied with Iraq anymore. They practically
control Iraq, and now Iran is the dominant force in
(12:55):
the region. And that wasn't the case when Saddam was there.
But hey, Saddam was bad. Saddam had to go and
we sent our boys in and then we fought a
war long after Saddam was gone, with Iran in Iraq
(13:18):
because the Iraqi military collapsed. Was that a win? How
about Afghanistan? Was that a win? Twenty years we were there?
Twenty years we were there, billions of dollars, thousands of lives.
(13:42):
You don't give a mother her twenty year old son
back once he's gone. You don't give a young wife
her husband back once he's gone, and when she's when
he leaves, which is very common, and he never comes home.
(14:06):
And how hard that's gotta be to raise the child
who never saw his dad for what? For? What did
we go to war? Trump? Who they threatened Americans, he's
gonna cause World War three. He's gonna cause World War three.
Not only did he not cause World War three, he
(14:30):
got us out of wars, forever wars. There's a lot
of Republicans who loved the forever Wars. They like to
act like it makes some patriotic and tough, and nobody
else understands. If you say we got to get out
of these forever wars, say, oh, you don't understand. You're naive,
(14:55):
all right, Tell me why I'm so naive, Tell me
why we have to be at war there. So Trump
negotiated and said, we're getting out. We're not accomplishing anything.
We're spending a lot of money we don't have, we're
exposing our boys to be murdered. We're getting out of
(15:17):
Afghanistan now in the process of getting out. If you
kill any of our people, I will destroy you. And
they didn't do it. Sometimes you can find peace through strength. Sometimes,
(15:43):
if people understand how many dads for generations taught their
sons mind did somebody punches you, you punch him back twice
as hard, because if you don't, you will be the
runt of the litter. You will be picked on. This
(16:04):
is basic school yard, basic prison yard, basic work, first
work day at the construction site. If you are a
person who accepts being bullied, you will be bullied. But
for those people who punch them back in the nose,
(16:26):
that's the end of it. The Taliban don't have a
lot of respect for very many people. But it's on
record they feared Trump. So what happened? Trump's gone, Biden
botches the withdrawal. Eighty billion dollars in tanks were left there.
(16:53):
Facebook took a post down that I put up several
years ago that cited a news source. Forget what it was,
one of one of the newspapers or magazine, doesn't matter,
said eighty billion dollars in our equipment left there, and
they took it down. They don't really give you much
of a reason other than it was supposedly not true.
(17:16):
So I dug and dug and dug, and their argument
was it was only fifty seven billion. Oh okay, well
I guess I lied. I'm so sorry for lying. I
was repeating the news source. And I guess we could argue,
what is the what is the truck van or car
(17:38):
that you drive right now worth? Well, I guess it's
You could value it based on what you still owe
on it. You could based you could do the Kelly
Blue Book. You could see what you could get in
and get on a trade in from a dealer. Where
you're buying a new car. There's room to disagree on
(17:58):
what your car is worth. Of course, absolutely, it's worth
different things to different people. But you know what it was.
It was worth way more than that to the Taliban.
And so the Biden administration after the thirteen are killed
and they have all this equipment that Biden administration said, yeah,
but they don't have the keys to the equipment, they
don't know how to run it. So they have parades,
(18:20):
go look at us, Look at what all we got.
They have a bigger set of equipment than most nations army.
If you hear anything I say today, let it be
this I Kamala Harris Economic Plan. These are words and
(18:41):
facts that appear in newspaper articles. This is not spend,
this is not talking points. I don't do that. It
is described as a five trillion dollar tax plan. The plan,
in the words of the plan, says on capital gains,
(19:07):
a tax on unrealized capital gains. It started with a
minimum tax of twenty percent, but somehow I guess they're polling,
said no, that doesn't punish the rich people enough, make
it twenty five. Wow. Okay, Now I want to explain
to you what an unrealized capital gain is. If you
(19:31):
bought your house for two hundred thousand dollars, and during
the Trump years things were going well. Interest rates were
low because they didn't have to put them up high
to hold back inflation. And that home you bought for
two hundred thousand dollars fifteen years ago now worth four
hundred thousand dollars. That's not unreasonable. That happened all over
(19:52):
the country. That's a two hundred thousand dollars capital gain,
but only when you sell it, which in law and tax.
In the LAWX industries, we refer to as a taxable incident,
something that taxes come do. As long as you hold
(20:16):
on to something, your short term asset capital gain in
your asset becomes a long term capital gain, and eventually
you have to give the government their money for their welfare,
but not until you sell it. The Harris plan is,
(20:38):
we can't wait around till you sell things. We've got
a lot of money. We've got trillions of dollars we
want to give in a green new deal, trillions of
dollars that we want to give to our constituent groups.
How do we get there. You can't tax them. You
can't get it out of the middle class, they'll fight back.
(21:02):
You really can't get it from the rich because, believe
it or not, and I know this is very hard
for people to understand. There aren't enough rich people and
they don't have enough money. I read several years ago
you could confiscate the wealth of I forget the wealth
of all billionaires, and I think it allows you to
(21:24):
run the government for two days, and that would mean
it's all gone right. There'd be no more charitable donations,
and that would be take everything they've got. No more
lawn crews would have a job no more restaurants. You
could run the government for two days, and I kind
of wish they would, because then everybody would be forced
to confront all, right, now, what do you do? Do
(21:47):
we start at five hundred million? PJ O'Rourke had a
great book called Eat the Rich, This idea that we're
going to take that money from those rich bastards because
they're all getting over on you. That appeals to people,
(22:07):
people who make bad decisions, people who think rich people
didn't earn it, people who feel that they didn't turn
out quite in life like they wanted to. Here's the problem.
If what you want is to help our economy, taking
money from the rich has proven again and again and
again not to improve the economy. Corporate tax rate. She
(22:33):
wants to take it from twenty one percent back up
to twenty eight percent where it once was. Why why
does she need more money? But do you know what
happens when you take money from corporations. It means that
corporation doesn't have the same amount of money to give
to its shareholders. Well, guess what, most of you are shareholders.
(22:56):
You don't realize it, but you know that four oh
one k you got your count chances are your four
to oh one K has some traditionally blue chipped stocks,
like say Exon. If Kamala Harris's people had their way,
they drive that company out of business and they take
(23:18):
your stock with it. That's what's going to allow you
to pay your electric bill when you're retired. When you
take seven percent of the earnings from twenty one percent
up to twenty eight percent, seven as a percentage of
twenty one is one third, you are increasing the taxes
(23:40):
by thirty three percent. Guess what doesn't happen. You don't
hire new workers, You lay workers off, You close your business.
See when you believe that companies are just rich and
none of it matters, you just let's get more of it.
(24:00):
We're not getting enough of it now, and then you're
shocked when they lay off. I just read a headline
to three major companies last week laying off some large
percentage of their employees. I forget who it was. It
happened so often. Now the Kamala Harris plan is going
(24:21):
to dramatically negatively affect your personal finances. You think it
doesn't matter, it does. It's going to affect your finances.
It's going to cost you your job, or it's going
(24:41):
to mean that your kid who's coming out of school
or the military is not going to have a job
waiting for them. It's going to mean that human beings
are going to be replaced by technology, which is already happening,
but you just accelerate that because I'm going to take
you a dirty little secret. Corporation are in the business
of making a profit, and when government comes calling and
(25:05):
trying to take their profits, those people at the corporation
their job is to figure out how to make a profit.
That's their job. So they're hired to do. You know
what they're going to do. They're going to pass costs
onto you, and they're going to cut things that matter.
That's the only way to get it because they got
to give it to the government. Kamalo wants your money.
(25:27):
That's what comes down to. Trump was on the Sean
Ryan Show when he was asked whether he would consider
Robert F. Kennedy Junior and Elon Musk for a cabinet position.
Speaker 5 (25:45):
I read that Elon Musk said that he would accept
a position in your cabinet. Would that have to do
with artificial intelligence? I have a great relationship. He's great
is it totally unusual character?
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Do you know, Elan? I don't.
Speaker 6 (26:03):
He's great and he's smart, and we have to cherish
our geniuses, you know, we don't have too many of them, right,
But he is a brilliant guy.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
And what he really would like to do.
Speaker 6 (26:16):
Is get involved in cutting some of the fat. And
he does know how to do it. And he loves
the country. You know, it's just an amazing thing. We
had a conversation the other day. You would know better
than me, but I hear it had hundreds of millions
of people.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
I heard it.
Speaker 6 (26:32):
Had the biggest audience that there's ever been. I mean,
would you say that's a correcttion? It has never been
anything even close. I heard seven hundred and fifty million people.
I mean numbers that are crazy. And yeah, he wants
to be involved. Now look he's running big businesses and
all that, so he can't really I don't think could
(26:53):
be the cabinet. I put him in the cabinet absolutely,
but I don't know how he could do that with
all the things he's got going. But he can sort of,
as the expression goes, consult with the country and give
you some very good ideas, like on Ai there's nobody.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Knows more about it than Ela. It's a big, big thing,
and he said it's very important. I mean it's very
important for the country.
Speaker 6 (27:17):
If we don't do it, China's going to do it
or somebody else, but most likely China, and China is
working right now to develop massive electricity, a flood of electricity,
a massive flood of electricity, and we don't because.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
We have people that don't even they're not even thinking
about that. And you have to we have to win
this election.
Speaker 6 (27:37):
This election is going November fifth will be the most
important day, my opinion, in the history of our country
because if our country goes the wrong way with this election,
I think this country is doomed.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
So why would RFK Junior endorse President Trump? Why is
Elon behind him? Given his polity in his past. It's
very important to understand that before the Trump you now
know as the standard bearer for the Republican Party for
(28:12):
three straight presidential elections and the guy speaking to rallies
of Magafie, you got to realize Donald Trump was the
toast of New York. He was king of the town.
His name everywhere. He was scripted into movies to play
(28:39):
himself because he was a cultural icon. But it wasn't
just that he had built this image as an icon.
He was beloved by people who liked his career Arristhma.
(29:01):
They liked his hutzpah, they liked his braggadocious manner, they
loved his confidence. He was a major influencer before the
term was used. When he went to NBC and did
(29:21):
the television show he was the executive producer of the Apprentice.
He dominated the ratings in a way that was the
Beatles of radio sort of thing, or what the Beatles
did in music. It was people gravitated to him, and
(29:46):
then they started the celebrity Apprentice because of what he
could do for you, because of he became a guy
that people wanted to know, because of who else knew
him and wanted to be around him. They orbited around him.
(30:07):
After Oprah spoke at the convention the other day and
joined in with Michelle Obama, there's just too many rich people,
these two black women with the combined net worth between
the two of them of more than any five black
women in America. But boy, things are bad. And ninety
(30:30):
nine point nine to nine percent of white men for
that matter, And he released a letter that she had
written him when he was running in twenty sixteen that
said she should be his running mate. Wouldn't that be fun?
She loved Donald Trump. She had him on in eighty
(30:51):
eight when Art of the Deal came out and talked
about his vision for America and that he would be
a future president, not Canada president. The rappers that loved him,
the singers, the actor, they all loved him. Now they'll
(31:11):
tell you he's a monster. Well what changed he ran
against Hillary? Whoopi Goldberg used to love Donald Trump until
he ran for office, until he started representing the people
in the cornfields, at the plant, at the construction site,
(31:35):
the secretaries, the administrators, until he started representing real human
beings and not these people who live in their ivory
towers and assist Harvey Weinstein by procuring women for him
to have sex with against their wishes. That's what he
(31:58):
went That's what he did. That's what where he went
wrong with them.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
She likes me.
Speaker 6 (32:03):
She put me, how much I judge nothing, I love you.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Don telligue. And they're trying to humanize them and change
your idea about who this guy is. Don't fall for
that Trump a Trump? So so that you understand. That
was two clips, one after the other. The first was
her opinion of Donald Trump, and then she said, oh,
(32:33):
they're trying to make him human. He's not human. He's
a monster. Don't fall for it. Play that again now
that you know the first part is how she felt
about Donald Trump, and then the second part.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
She likes me.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
She put me, how much I judge nothing, I love
you tell and they're trying to humanize them and change
your idea about who this guy is. Don't fall for
that Trump, Yeah, tronible Trump. There's so many of these
(33:09):
people mourning. Joe and his mistress. Oh, his mistress would
coop all over Donald Trump when he had come on
the set, but once Trump got elected and wouldn't put
him in the administration for that matter. George Conway Kelly
and Conway's ex hub He wanted to be Trump's Attorney
(33:31):
general when he wasn't, then he went crazy and started
supporting Biden. People are nuts. It's they are nuts. They
really are. They're nuts. They're egomaniacs, narcissists and nuts, sociopaths,
It's that time. Time, time, time.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Luck and load. The Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Every veteran.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
In our listening audience, every family member of a veteran
in our listening audience. Something very important happened today. You
have to draw distinctions when you're trying to choose who
should be our president. You have to see the very
(00:49):
clear differences. Today is the third anniversary of the bombing
at the Kabul Airport in Afghanistan killed thirteen of our
brave US service members. ABC News at the time three
years ago. Today broke into regularly scheduled programming with a
(01:11):
special report.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
President Biden always said that he wants you to be
the last person in the room, particularly for big decisions,
just as he was for President Obama. He just made
a really big decision Afghanistan. Yes, were you the last
person in the room? Yes, and you feel comfortable?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
I do.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Good afternoon, and we are coming on the air at
this hour with breaking news and it's difficult the latest
details in the bomb attack outside the airport and cobble.
Others are being treated for wounds. A number of Afghans
fell victim to this heinous attack. You're looking at the
very difficult pictures coming in from the scene, and we
warn you many of these images of our graphic. A
(01:49):
suspected suicide bomber detonating near the abbey gate at the airport.
That's one of the main entrances of the airport. Again,
the Pentagon just moments ago reporting a number of the
US service members were.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Killed at the Kabo Airport.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
That area, of course packed with Afghan people desperate to
get out of the country, the Pentagon calling this a
complex attack, just five days before the US deadline to
withdraw from Afghanistan. Kabble Emergency Hospital at this hour telling
ABC News it has received about sixty wounded people so far.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
It didn't have to happen. These are the decisions that
cost lives. Before you blame Joe Biden, remember Susan Rice
told us Susan Rice was Barack Obama's brain on foreign affairs,
(02:49):
national security affairs. She told us, don't insult Kamala by
saying she's not in charge, because she's right there making decisions.
And remember she took charge of this issue. She said
she was the quote last person in the room end
(03:13):
quote for the planning of that debacle of a withdrawal.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
President Biden always said that he wants you to be
the last person in the room, particularly for big decisions,
just as he was for President Obama. He just made
a really big decision Afghanistan.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Yes, were you the last person in the room? Yes?
And you feel comfortable? I do now. I know you
know this, so forgive me. Sometimes I listen or watch
something and I think they're talking over my head. They're
using jargon that I don't know. So let me explain this.
(03:54):
If a board for a company, or the school board
for that matter, is making a big decision, you may
say to some of the staff members, can y'all please leave?
We need to have a conversation. And let's say you
(04:15):
have an eight member board, nine member board. The chairman
may say, can I get everybody to leave except for
me and Susie. I need to talk about something separately.
Sure people will get up. The last person in the
room is the one running the meeting. That is the
(04:38):
decid the decision maker. What she is saying there, it's
not a reference to where somebody was and whether they
had coffee. The last person in the room is the
person who opens the door and shows people out. They
(05:00):
leave the language here. This very important symbolism is she
was in charge of the Afghanistan withdrawal that resulted in
thirteen service members killed and has been said by everyone
(05:23):
and anyone involved, it was absolutely botched, horribly So so
listen to that again.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
President Biden always said that he wants you to be
the last person in the room, particularly for big decisions,
just as he was for President Obama. He just made
a really big decision Afghanistan. Yes, were you the last
person in the room? Yes, and you feel comfortable?
Speaker 4 (05:48):
I do.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
So.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Thirteen gold Star families now lost their love one. So
that a person who has no business making big decisions.
But she's a black woman. Remember Biden had to pick
(06:16):
a black woman. We've established that. I don't need to
go back and pull you all the audio. He had
to pick a black woman. They pressured him. He had
to do it. That's what had to happen. Kamala Harris
is not dumb because she's a black woman. Kamala Harris
(06:36):
is dumb. She is vice president because she's a black woman.
There are lots of dumb people. There are lots of
people who have no business being vice president, much less president.
Lots of people, and there's nothing wrong with that, but
they don't need to be in that position. You don't
(06:59):
let a guy play quarterback for your school or your
pro team who can't throw the ball. When he goes
to throw the ball forward, it goes backward. It doesn't
make you a bad person that you can't throw a football,
but it also doesn't mean you're a made quarterback. You
(07:19):
could be an absolute spaz unable to pick up a
football and throw it forward ten yards. When you do it,
it falls out of your hand and goes the other direction.
And that's okay, But we don't say, you know what,
we have to have a person who throws the ball
the opposite direction at quarterback. I want to be clear,
you understand what I'm saying here. Kamala Harris is not
(07:43):
a dumb dumb because she's a black woman. She is
vice president because she's a black woman. She didn't choose
her race or ethnicity. Now she does seem to pick
and choose depend on who the audiences. There is nothing
(08:03):
wrong with her having no leadership skills, no discernment, no
strategic mindset. That's okay, lots of people don't, but she
has no business being in that room and she's not
there because she has any of those skills, and people
(08:26):
died as a result of it, and that's real. We're
going to talk about her economic policy coming up for
the stick to the issues crowd. Those of you who
want me to stick to the issues, You're going to
get some stick to the issues because I'm going to
taste something. It's going to cost businesses are going to close,
your stock portfolio is going to decrease, your retirement account
(08:50):
is going to decrease, your wages are going to go down.
If she is president. Telling them, you're gonna understand. Why
come on a relaying ceremony for the thirteen service members
who died in Afghanistan. President Trump, of course was there,
(09:17):
and I have to think that gave the families a
great deal of solace. The Democrats have tried to lay
the blame for the botched withdrawal on President Trump. Which
is what you do, right, You tell the low information voter,
you don't allow anyone to disagree, right, you cancel them
(09:40):
on Facebook, you don't offer an alternative opinion on your network.
And some people still don't understand and really never will,
that the game is rigged, that you're not getting the
fair news, the full news. So they want to blame
Trump for the withdrawal, which occurred August twenty sixth of
(10:05):
twenty twenty one. Joe Biden took office October January twentieth, February, March, April, May,
June July August, seven months in one week, he was
fully the president. President Trump did not plan the withdrawal,
(10:29):
did not give the order for the details of the withdrawal.
But let me tell you what President Trump did do.
He got us out of a forever war. And that's
what the Republicans didn't want to happen. And this is
why the establishment hates him. Because the establishment is owned
(10:53):
by the lobby for the gun, MREs fighter as you
name it, the provisions that are the provisions of our military.
The companies of military industrial Complex owns Congress, and they
(11:16):
need forever wars. And they'll even invest. They'll do a
flyover for your event. They'll buy a nice flag for
your loved one that can be draped on their coffin
when they come home at twenty two years old. And Bill,
they'll pay for think tank retired generals and colonels to
(11:42):
be on Fox News and news nation every night talking
about how we've got to defend our nation. We're the
providers of safety, and we're the this, and we're the that.
We're the the we is your son's the we is
your son. We have to do this. You have to
do this. They're taking your money in taxes and they're
(12:06):
taking your boys to war. Do we win those wars?
Let's see, did we win Iraq? Oh, we toppled Saddam Hussein?
Did we win the war? We destabilized that nation, We
(12:27):
destabilized the region. We eliminated the counterbalance to Iran, their
mortal enemy. And now Iran is the monster of the
region because they're not occupied with Iraq anymore. They practically
control Iraq, and now Iran is the dominant force in
(12:55):
the region. And that wasn't the case when Saddam was there.
But hey, Saddam was bad. Saddam had to go and
we sent our boys in and then we fought a
war long after Saddam was gone, with Iran in Iraq
(13:18):
because the Iraqi military collapsed. Was that a win? How
about Afghanistan? Was that a win? Twenty years we were there?
Twenty years we were there, billions of dollars, thousands of lives.
(13:42):
You don't give a mother her twenty year old son
back once he's gone. You don't give a young wife
her husband back once he's gone, and when she's when
he leaves, which is very common, and he never comes home.
(14:06):
And how hard that's gotta be to raise the child
who never saw his dad for what? For? What did
we go to war? Trump? Who they threatened Americans, he's
gonna cause World War three. He's gonna cause World War three.
Not only did he not cause World War three, he
(14:30):
got us out of wars, forever wars. There's a lot
of Republicans who loved the forever Wars. They like to
act like it makes some patriotic and tough, and nobody
else understands. If you say we got to get out
of these forever wars, say, oh, you don't understand. You're naive,
(14:55):
all right, Tell me why I'm so naive, Tell me
why we have to be at war there. So Trump
negotiated and said, we're getting out. We're not accomplishing anything.
We're spending a lot of money we don't have, we're
exposing our boys to be murdered. We're getting out of
(15:17):
Afghanistan now in the process of getting out. If you
kill any of our people, I will destroy you. And
they didn't do it. Sometimes you can find peace through strength. Sometimes,
(15:43):
if people understand how many dads for generations taught their
sons mind did somebody punches you, you punch him back twice
as hard, because if you don't, you will be the
runt of the litter. You will be picked on. This
(16:04):
is basic school yard, basic prison yard, basic work, first
work day at the construction site. If you are a
person who accepts being bullied, you will be bullied. But
for those people who punch them back in the nose,
(16:26):
that's the end of it. The Taliban don't have a
lot of respect for very many people. But it's on
record they feared Trump. So what happened? Trump's gone, Biden
botches the withdrawal. Eighty billion dollars in tanks were left there.
(16:53):
Facebook took a post down that I put up several
years ago that cited a news source. Forget what it was,
one of one of the newspapers or magazine, doesn't matter,
said eighty billion dollars in our equipment left there, and
they took it down. They don't really give you much
of a reason other than it was supposedly not true.
(17:16):
So I dug and dug and dug, and their argument
was it was only fifty seven billion. Oh okay, well
I guess I lied. I'm so sorry for lying. I
was repeating the news source. And I guess we could argue,
what is the what is the truck van or car
(17:38):
that you drive right now worth? Well, I guess it's
You could value it based on what you still owe
on it. You could based you could do the Kelly
Blue Book. You could see what you could get in
and get on a trade in from a dealer. Where
you're buying a new car. There's room to disagree on
(17:58):
what your car is worth. Of course, absolutely, it's worth
different things to different people. But you know what it was.
It was worth way more than that to the Taliban.
And so the Biden administration after the thirteen are killed
and they have all this equipment that Biden administration said, yeah,
but they don't have the keys to the equipment, they
don't know how to run it. So they have parades,
(18:20):
go look at us, Look at what all we got.
They have a bigger set of equipment than most nations army.
If you hear anything I say today, let it be
this I Kamala Harris Economic Plan. These are words and
(18:41):
facts that appear in newspaper articles. This is not spend,
this is not talking points. I don't do that. It
is described as a five trillion dollar tax plan. The plan,
in the words of the plan, says on capital gains,
(19:07):
a tax on unrealized capital gains. It started with a
minimum tax of twenty percent, but somehow I guess they're polling,
said no, that doesn't punish the rich people enough, make
it twenty five. Wow. Okay, Now I want to explain
to you what an unrealized capital gain is. If you
(19:31):
bought your house for two hundred thousand dollars, and during
the Trump years things were going well. Interest rates were
low because they didn't have to put them up high
to hold back inflation. And that home you bought for
two hundred thousand dollars fifteen years ago now worth four
hundred thousand dollars. That's not unreasonable. That happened all over
(19:52):
the country. That's a two hundred thousand dollars capital gain,
but only when you sell it, which in law and tax.
In the LAWX industries, we refer to as a taxable incident,
something that taxes come do. As long as you hold
(20:16):
on to something, your short term asset capital gain in
your asset becomes a long term capital gain, and eventually
you have to give the government their money for their welfare,
but not until you sell it. The Harris plan is,
(20:38):
we can't wait around till you sell things. We've got
a lot of money. We've got trillions of dollars we
want to give in a green new deal, trillions of
dollars that we want to give to our constituent groups.
How do we get there. You can't tax them. You
can't get it out of the middle class, they'll fight back.
(21:02):
You really can't get it from the rich because, believe
it or not, and I know this is very hard
for people to understand. There aren't enough rich people and
they don't have enough money. I read several years ago
you could confiscate the wealth of I forget the wealth
of all billionaires, and I think it allows you to
(21:24):
run the government for two days, and that would mean
it's all gone right. There'd be no more charitable donations,
and that would be take everything they've got. No more
lawn crews would have a job no more restaurants. You
could run the government for two days, and I kind
of wish they would, because then everybody would be forced
to confront all, right, now, what do you do? Do
(21:47):
we start at five hundred million? PJ O'Rourke had a
great book called Eat the Rich, This idea that we're
going to take that money from those rich bastards because
they're all getting over on you. That appeals to people,
(22:07):
people who make bad decisions, people who think rich people
didn't earn it, people who feel that they didn't turn
out quite in life like they wanted to. Here's the problem.
If what you want is to help our economy, taking
money from the rich has proven again and again and
again not to improve the economy. Corporate tax rate. She
(22:33):
wants to take it from twenty one percent back up
to twenty eight percent where it once was. Why why
does she need more money? But do you know what
happens when you take money from corporations. It means that
corporation doesn't have the same amount of money to give
to its shareholders. Well, guess what, most of you are shareholders.
(22:56):
You don't realize it, but you know that four oh
one k you got your count chances are your four
to oh one K has some traditionally blue chipped stocks,
like say Exon. If Kamala Harris's people had their way,
they drive that company out of business and they take
(23:18):
your stock with it. That's what's going to allow you
to pay your electric bill when you're retired. When you
take seven percent of the earnings from twenty one percent
up to twenty eight percent, seven as a percentage of
twenty one is one third, you are increasing the taxes
(23:40):
by thirty three percent. Guess what doesn't happen. You don't
hire new workers, You lay workers off, You close your business.
See when you believe that companies are just rich and
none of it matters, you just let's get more of it.
(24:00):
We're not getting enough of it now, and then you're
shocked when they lay off. I just read a headline
to three major companies last week laying off some large
percentage of their employees. I forget who it was. It
happened so often. Now the Kamala Harris plan is going
(24:21):
to dramatically negatively affect your personal finances. You think it
doesn't matter, it does. It's going to affect your finances.
It's going to cost you your job, or it's going
(24:41):
to mean that your kid who's coming out of school
or the military is not going to have a job
waiting for them. It's going to mean that human beings
are going to be replaced by technology, which is already happening,
but you just accelerate that because I'm going to take
you a dirty little secret. Corporation are in the business
of making a profit, and when government comes calling and
(25:05):
trying to take their profits, those people at the corporation
their job is to figure out how to make a profit.
That's their job. So they're hired to do. You know
what they're going to do. They're going to pass costs
onto you, and they're going to cut things that matter.
That's the only way to get it because they got
to give it to the government. Kamalo wants your money.
(25:27):
That's what comes down to. Trump was on the Sean
Ryan Show when he was asked whether he would consider
Robert F. Kennedy Junior and Elon Musk for a cabinet position.
Speaker 5 (25:45):
I read that Elon Musk said that he would accept
a position in your cabinet. Would that have to do
with artificial intelligence? I have a great relationship. He's great
is it totally unusual character?
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Do you know, Elan? I don't.
Speaker 6 (26:03):
He's great and he's smart, and we have to cherish
our geniuses, you know, we don't have too many of them, right,
But he is a brilliant guy.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
And what he really would like to do.
Speaker 6 (26:16):
Is get involved in cutting some of the fat. And
he does know how to do it. And he loves
the country. You know, it's just an amazing thing. We
had a conversation the other day. You would know better
than me, but I hear it had hundreds of millions
of people.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
I heard it.
Speaker 6 (26:32):
Had the biggest audience that there's ever been. I mean,
would you say that's a correcttion? It has never been
anything even close. I heard seven hundred and fifty million people.
I mean numbers that are crazy. And yeah, he wants
to be involved. Now look he's running big businesses and
all that, so he can't really I don't think could
(26:53):
be the cabinet. I put him in the cabinet absolutely,
but I don't know how he could do that with
all the things he's got going. But he can sort of,
as the expression goes, consult with the country and give
you some very good ideas, like on Ai there's nobody.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Knows more about it than Ela. It's a big, big thing,
and he said it's very important. I mean it's very
important for the country.
Speaker 6 (27:17):
If we don't do it, China's going to do it
or somebody else, but most likely China, and China is
working right now to develop massive electricity, a flood of electricity,
a massive flood of electricity, and we don't because.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
We have people that don't even they're not even thinking
about that. And you have to we have to win
this election.
Speaker 6 (27:37):
This election is going November fifth will be the most
important day, my opinion, in the history of our country
because if our country goes the wrong way with this election,
I think this country is doomed.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
So why would RFK Junior endorse President Trump? Why is
Elon behind him? Given his polity in his past. It's
very important to understand that before the Trump you now
know as the standard bearer for the Republican Party for
(28:12):
three straight presidential elections and the guy speaking to rallies
of Magafie, you got to realize Donald Trump was the
toast of New York. He was king of the town.
His name everywhere. He was scripted into movies to play
(28:39):
himself because he was a cultural icon. But it wasn't
just that he had built this image as an icon.
He was beloved by people who liked his career Arristhma.
(29:01):
They liked his hutzpah, they liked his braggadocious manner, they
loved his confidence. He was a major influencer before the
term was used. When he went to NBC and did
(29:21):
the television show he was the executive producer of the Apprentice.
He dominated the ratings in a way that was the
Beatles of radio sort of thing, or what the Beatles
did in music. It was people gravitated to him, and
(29:46):
then they started the celebrity Apprentice because of what he
could do for you, because of he became a guy
that people wanted to know, because of who else knew
him and wanted to be around him. They orbited around him.
(30:07):
After Oprah spoke at the convention the other day and
joined in with Michelle Obama, there's just too many rich people,
these two black women with the combined net worth between
the two of them of more than any five black
women in America. But boy, things are bad. And ninety
(30:30):
nine point nine to nine percent of white men for
that matter, And he released a letter that she had
written him when he was running in twenty sixteen that
said she should be his running mate. Wouldn't that be fun?
She loved Donald Trump. She had him on in eighty
(30:51):
eight when Art of the Deal came out and talked
about his vision for America and that he would be
a future president, not Canada president. The rappers that loved him,
the singers, the actor, they all loved him. Now they'll
(31:11):
tell you he's a monster. Well what changed he ran
against Hillary? Whoopi Goldberg used to love Donald Trump until
he ran for office, until he started representing the people
in the cornfields, at the plant, at the construction site,
(31:35):
the secretaries, the administrators, until he started representing real human
beings and not these people who live in their ivory
towers and assist Harvey Weinstein by procuring women for him
to have sex with against their wishes. That's what he
(31:58):
went That's what he did. That's what where he went
wrong with them.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
She likes me.
Speaker 6 (32:03):
She put me, how much I judge nothing, I love you.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Don telligue. And they're trying to humanize them and change
your idea about who this guy is. Don't fall for
that Trump a Trump? So so that you understand. That
was two clips, one after the other. The first was
her opinion of Donald Trump, and then she said, oh,
(32:33):
they're trying to make him human. He's not human. He's
a monster. Don't fall for it. Play that again now
that you know the first part is how she felt
about Donald Trump, and then the second part.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
She likes me.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
She put me, how much I judge nothing, I love
you tell and they're trying to humanize them and change
your idea about who this guy is. Don't fall for
that Trump, Yeah, tronible Trump. There's so many of these
(33:09):
people mourning. Joe and his mistress. Oh, his mistress would
coop all over Donald Trump when he had come on
the set, but once Trump got elected and wouldn't put
him in the administration for that matter. George Conway Kelly
and Conway's ex hub He wanted to be Trump's Attorney
(33:31):
general when he wasn't, then he went crazy and started
supporting Biden. People are nuts. It's they are nuts. They
really are. They're nuts. They're egomaniacs, narcissists and nuts, sociopaths,
