Speaker 2 (00:16):
Trump's first term legacy. I'm getting questions when I go
on various different radio shows that I do guests appearances on.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
And one of the things that.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
I'm asked is, you know, what what are your clients think, Chris.
You know your clients are small business owners, many of
them are small business owners around the country. What do
they think about Trump and his first term? And as
far as the economy is concerned, and well, you know,
different opinions from from different people. And I'm going to

(00:53):
give you my take here and again, I know I
know how close to election, Chris, care what you're saying? No,
no ever careful about what I'm saying. When I'm being
I'm not careful. I don't censor myself, don't censor myself.
I'm gonna tell you what I think Trump's first term. Trump, Uh,

(01:18):
pre COVID did a pretty good job, did a pretty
good job different sectors.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
He did better than others like I said.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
You already given all overall GPA in my opinion for
Donald Trump. You want to do a GPR, I'll give
you a letter grade for Trump his prior to COVID.
I'd say definitely, you know, a solid B two B
plus I would. And then you were also, you know,

(01:51):
again the overall GPA you're taking in foreign policy in
the consideration.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
Yeah, yeah, I can think about B plus.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
Okay, his legacy, his legacy, his first term legacy. Again,
people were going to remember exam. For whatever reason it
may be, they want to forget. It's almost like that
that period of time during COVID they want to forget.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
I can't. I can't for whatever reason it may be.
I know, I'll get the messages there.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
Oh, it was a deep state, and you know, Fauci
was in government, and he had to listen to Fauci
and he had to do all these things. I'm sorry, Okay,
you're kidding yourself, and do me a favor. Don't insult
my intelligence. Trump chose to listen to Fauci and Berks.

(02:45):
There were others that were advising him that said what
he was doing was wrong. And again, if you do
any homework on your own, and I did plenty of it. Okay,
you were well aware that this, whatever they would it
was the dumbest thing in the entire world. I still
you still see it. You still see signs still that

(03:06):
they've left on the floor about staying safe and social
distancing at all. This nonsense. Again, it makes my blood boil,
It really does. The amount of money that we have wasted,
the crap that we pulled, the nonsense that was all.
Like I said, it was flushing money down the toilet.

(03:30):
Donald Trump, when he's asked about his first term and
he talks about he always goes. Then we get he gets,
he lowers's voice. Then we had the COVID, he goes.
I like to call it the China virus. Okay, Donald, Okay, yeah,
aft up royally, royally. You listened to the wrong people.

(03:53):
You listened to the deep state. You spent ungodly sums
of money. You shut the cun tree down, man, And
it was wrong. It was wrong, I know, playing politics
at this point in time, But you know I I
would have come out then he he did to some degree.

(04:17):
He did to some degree. And get you have to
listen to the Joe Rogan interview where again he said
big the mistakes he made was the people that he
hired in his first administration. He didn't really talk about
COVID when it came to that. I think he was
more alluding to you know, neokon types and whatnot that

(04:38):
he brought into his administration, but.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
Didn't have to listen to them. But he did.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
And we're still paying the prices. We're gonna be paying
the price for it for a very long period of time.
Does he get a mulligan on that? Maybe with some people,
not with me. Not with me because one of the
reasons why, Well, of the reason why again, I'm one

(05:05):
big fan of Trump in twenty sixteen.

Speaker 3 (05:08):
Again I'm brand Paul guy.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
Was the concept of draining the swamp, and when push
came to shove, he went to the swamp.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
Now again, everybody out there that's freaking out, well close
you look sugers a bit that listen. I'm not gonna
lie to you. Okay, full disclosure. I'm voting for him.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
I am Okay, this is the choice that this is
the choice that we have at this point in time.
I'm voting for him, Okay, like something else, Yeah, yeah,
I hope I hope and I pray that he's learned
his lesson, learned his lesson and quite and I just

(05:50):
kind of ticks smuff. He should have known better because
he's known these people, he's had to do business with
them his entire lives. Trust nothing, absolutely nothing comes out
of Washington, DC. Zip zero, zilch, nada. Trust nothing, Trust
none of these people. And once you do that, and

(06:11):
you get your arms around that, and you bring people
and you bring outsiders and bring outsiders into Washington, DC,
not to swamp things, to run everything, you'll be fine
as far as anybody that's there. No, don't trust them.
