Speaker 1 (00:00):
On the Legacy Retirement Group dot com phone line. Let's
say good morning to our friend Liz Peak. You can
see her on Fox Fox Business. Of course she's gracious
enough with her time to join us every Wednesday, and
of course Lizpeak dot com, Liz, good morning. We'll get
to the midterms in a moment, and those will be
here before we know it. But I want to talk
about you just posted a piece the other day about
(00:22):
Donald Trump not being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, which
is sort of sort of surprising considering his role in
the ceasefire in Gaza, which was pretty remarkable and should
be recognized. But when it comes to a peace prize,
according to your story, who cares.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Well, Look, I had some fun with this. I think
the Nobel group, the committee is kind of idiotic, and
you know, it just is so sort of out of
touch with normal people and normal ideas and so forth.
By the way, it's always been incredibly left wing. Donald
Trump is never going to get this peace prize, and
a lot of people, when he was slighted this time,
(01:02):
were reminded that Barack Obama had got it before he
literally drew Beth at Breath in the Oval office, So
I mean that was purely a political stop. They were
so excited to see a black man elected president of
the United States, which by the way, a lot of
Americans were too. But you don't reward somebody before they've
done anything. Instead, you reward people who have done something,
(01:25):
and that's Donald Trump. And look, I'm very impressed by
this woman, this Venezuelan woman who did win the Nobel Prize.
She opposed Maduro. But let's face it, what has that done.
I mean, Madora is still in office and she's in hiding,
so kudos to her for standing up to a tyrant,
a bully and probably a crook. But the reality is
(01:48):
Donald Trump has actually brought peace to a number of
conflicts and clearly was deserving of this, so shame on them.
But anyway, I talked about the Literature Prize, which really
is just kind of pretty amusing. I mean, last year
they awarded the Literature Prize to a South Korean writer
(02:08):
whose book was about a woman who stops eating and
tries to live off of sunlight, called a vegetarian. This one.
This year's book is by a Hungarian writer who wrote
a four hundred page book in which there is only
one period. In other words, the entire book is one sentence. Now.
(02:29):
I don't know about you. I read for entertainment. I
read novels, biographies, all kinds of things. I really don't
read to find missing punctuation. That's not my ambition. And
somehow this just seemed so in keeping, frankly with the
whole sort of you know, holier than now attitude of
(02:49):
the Nobel people. It just made me laugh, So I
thought I would share.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
That that's funny.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
That seems like it would be incredibly exhausting to read
a book with one long, one on sentence.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Yeah, I mean, apparently the author says he wanted to
create a really original style of writing. Yeah, there's a
reason people use punctuation is to help the reader get
through it, right. I mean, it's just so dumb, and.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Like you, I don't have any problem with the woman
that the Nobel folks chose. I mean, she's conservative, but
to your point, she hasn't really accomplished anything.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
And I don't know how much that had to.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Do with the timing of awarding the Peace Prize versus
when the mid East Middle East deal was done. So
do you think Trump Will could possibly win the Peace
Prize next year.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
You know, there's always that possibility, but I honestly think
these people would saw off the right foot before they
would actually do it. Look, they hate Donald Trump. Think
about think about all the namby pandy bureaucrats and Brussels
and all the sort of niceties that rule those incredibly
bureaucratic hate and in Europe where all the people make
(04:02):
all the decisions except actually voters because they get kind
of left out, which is what, by the way, what
Brexit was all about, because you have these nameless, faithless
bureaucrats and Brussels deciding everything for everybody. So take those
people and sort of you know, ans them up to
even more absurd heights of of sort of elegance and
(04:24):
you know what elitism. Thank you, that's the word I
was looking for. And that's and that's the Nobel group.
So they're not they hate Donald Trump, They're never.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Going to do it.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Liz Peak our guest. You can find here at Liz Peak.
It's pe e k dot com luizpeak dot com. A
story you posted just a little bit ago, Liz talking
about the midterms a little over a year away.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
It'll be here before you know, it.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
And you've got a piece about how the governor's race
in New Jersey could kind of be a map for
Republicans on how to win the midterms.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Explain, well, the guy who's running the Republican Jack actually
has run for governor before, lost by only three points
to Phil Murphy, who now has quite poor approval ratings.
And New Jersey voters are fed up. They're fed up
with high taxes and interestingly to me, high cost of electricity,
which has gone up over twenty percent this year in
(05:18):
that state. And I think instead of just saying, Okay,
this is going to be a referendum on Donald Trump,
but Goop needs to say, hey, it's really a referendum
on Joe Biden. Because all of this excess spending, yes,
kicked off inflation, which has not totally gone away, but
also all the spending hundreds of billions of dollars over
a trillion dollars the Inflation Reduction Act directed towards renewables
(05:42):
and electrification of our economy. Guess what, it has made
power extremely expensive in many parts of the country and
including New Jersey. This is a big issue there generally
should be totally on it, and he is to his credit,
he's gaining in the polls. He's now almost within statistical
(06:02):
you know, error of catching Mikey Cheryl that the Democrat
is running. And I think it's a very winning strategy.
He's talking about kind of the Trump agenda, lower taxes,
fossil fuels, things to make New Jersey a prosperous community again.
New Jersey light New York is losing businesses, losing citizens,
(06:22):
and so at some point the voters have to say,
you know what, this is not working. We want to
change course. And hopefully this guy will sort of show
the GOP the messaging necessary to suggest that that's possible
with Republican leadership.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
And that's a huge issue in Ohio here too, Liz,
is the energy issue with we just had this story
earlier about you know, all these data centers are coming
into Ohio and they're just energy hogs, and you know,
who gets stuck with the bill what we do.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
So it is a huge issue. And now in.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Midterms it's typically the party that's out of power tends
to kind of regain some ground. So you're right, GOP
needs to have a message there to prevent that from happening.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Well, they do, and in all politics is local. So
if you're having electricity cost anxiety, which a lot of
places are. Remind people in New Jersey, it's because the
governor and Democrats going back refused to build natural gas
pipelines to import cheap, abundant natural gas. Same thing is
(07:25):
true in New York. I don't know that that's an
issue in Ohio, but the push to the climate of
session of the Biden White House has long legs. And
because they allocated so many hundreds of billions of dollars
to pursue that agenda, it is an issue which is
going to be with us not only through the midterms
(07:46):
but beyond, and I think voters need to pay attention
to that. But I think the other message, which I
didn't talk about in this piece, but it's really important.
If you like what Trump is doing, he needs four
years and he's not going to get four years if
you lose the control of the House. So House races loom,
to my mind unbelievably important. Never before has there been
(08:10):
such a slim margin of control. As you know, the
House has only got six or seven seats. Republic and leadership,
and if people want the Trump agenda to roll on
and you know, I'm listening to financial people all morning
talking about low taxes and how we're getting businesses investing
in America, et cetera. If you want that to continue,
(08:32):
you've got to make sure we keep the house
