Speaker 1 (00:03):
We're back. July twenty twenty five is.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
In the rearview, Mayor, General, we are.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
I didn't see you hardly at all this summer, just
July out of this past month.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Yeah, you were making yourself scarce.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
You know the time. So I've been doing this. This
is my thirty first year as a as a lawyer,
criminal defense layer here in Greater Central Ohio. Money through Friday. General,
the General and I in our respective.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Law firms, We of us do it on the weekends.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
We both do. Crime doesn't stop on Friday's at six pm,
just kind of gets rolling downe that.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Thank goodness.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
So I've always taken the summer to slow down. The
court system slows down. I think, you know, cops, detectives.
Everyone's kind of taken their foot off the gas pedal,
and I take advantage of that.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
They all go skiing.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
And then the summer the Coffels take a family trip.
Our kids are in their twenties now and we're lucky,
fortunate made the right decisions hopefully to keep everyone together,
and we take our family trips in the summer. We
try to do something over the holidays. This year, General,
we went back to England to see my wife's family
(01:17):
on her mother's side. Her mother was born in nineteen
twenty four. She was just a pup during the bombings
of London and she spent a lot of her time
in nineteen forty one. This is her mother that is
down below ground during the bombings. My son has picked
(01:38):
up a new interest in history, American history, the founding
and all that, and some World War two. So we
got a chance to go over to Winston Churchill's war rooms.
Now I have it every time I go visit a
historical landmark, and I've never been to Churchill's war rooms.
Which if you're any if you have any love of history,
(02:02):
and you find yourself on the other side of the pond,
do yourself a favor and go see Churchill's war rooms.
Just hear how it all kind of came together. And
the ironic thing is, and I didn't know this until
I went and did this tour, the ironic thing is
there was a hidden door down in these war rooms
(02:23):
below ground. The Nazis never knew they were down there.
Down in the war room, there was a hidden door
off a hallway that nobody was allowed to even stop
in front of.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Now that's the one that led to the eighteen hole
golf course.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
You weren't even if you were caught stopping in front
of this unmarked door, you would be arrested. And on
the other side of the door was a telephone with
the hope was a secure cable, Transatlantic cable that popped
up in a big white house that fed right to FDR.
(03:03):
So Fdr and Churchill talked.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
They had a hotline.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
They had a hotline, and you know they at the
end of the day, England got herself into a jam
in the Great War, World War One, we helped out.
England got herself in a jam in World War Two,
we helped her out. We've never stopped helping. So I
walk over, I'm walking around and I have you know crookies,
These these things that go on your sunglasses, you wear
(03:28):
around your neck like.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
This to make you look like an American.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Well it has the American flag. So my crookies an
American flag. And I'm walking through England with my American
flag and we look American. There's just no way to
hide khaki shorts and golf shirts in England. So we
are walking around and make no mistake about it. I've
got my American flag crooquies, and we're taking the black
(03:51):
cabs everywhere. I love the black cab. Why can't we
have in our big cities black cabs. The English know
how to do mass transit these black cabs in order there.
They could put hundreds of thousands of miles kilometers on
these things. But the drivers, it is one of the
(04:14):
hardest jobs to get. You have to do four years
of study and take multiple tests to become a black
black cab driver. So I ask every single black cab
driver that I of course I interviewed, ask him questions.
Like my travel I always liked to ask questions, and
they love Donald Trump. The working class of England love
(04:36):
Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
The working class in New York did too. He felt
he was more at home with the cab drivers and
the construction guys than in the boardrooms.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
I found when I went to Toronto several months ago
with some friends, I didn't see anyone. I just I
thought I was in I thought I was in the
Middle East. I thought I was an idiot. I thought,
I mean, it was not what you would expect. Canadian
city look like London is the same. It's getting very
(05:05):
much overrun by other parts of the world, other civilizations,
the Arab world, Muslims as well, and they are having
a major civilization clash. The quote Native Britain's the English people,
(05:28):
they don't live in the cities anymore. They move out
into the countryside. Same things happening here in America. There
is a candidate named Nigel Paraj who is a who's
very Trumpian that the working class in England love. Now
the globalists, your money managers, you're internationalists, they don't. They
(05:50):
love what's happening in these big cities. But the people
that actually make the products and deliver the local services
do not like the labor party that's controlling England right now.
And we certainly didn't like the uniparty controlling America well.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
And part of the reason that the Conservatives lost was
because all of these people who don't like labor also
didn't like the Conservatives because they were labor light for sure.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Well, now you have the melding of the like Trump
had at the twenty twenty four RNC. The very first
speaker right was the leader of the teamsters. You have
a melding of the working class of all races and
against the concentration of the globalists, internationalists, and the big
(06:44):
government socialists.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
And the country club Republicans.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
And the country club Republicans. Thank you. So what's happening
in our country is also has been happening in England.
And if you want to see in the future, then
go see some of these European cities that have been
under this type of socialist democrat. Make our government bigger,
(07:10):
have our government solve all our problems. Take our income
taxes over fifty percent. Go see that government cannot deliver
essential services. Government cannot deliver anything that it promises. Nigel Faraj,
the candidate, the Trumpian candidate in England, is still several
(07:30):
years away from election. His party is called the Reform Party.
The traditional working class British is represented by a party
called the Reform Party. Think about that. We're right around
the corner from this. In this Zohan Mamdani is a
(07:52):
very much a Bill Clinton esque charismatic type of political things.
Just as Clinton became a disruptor with charm and wit
and smarts, this mom Donnie guy has it. And the
more that the media is captured by the internationalists, the globalists,
(08:16):
the big government, the country club Republicans, as long as
the media is the spokesperson for that group. You're always
going to be told that these tariffs are bad, that
free trade is the way to go, that any type
of tax reform just favors the wealthy. You're going to
(08:39):
be told these lies. And after the break, the General
and I want to spend a little bit extra time
today and this weekend explaining to you why the Trumpian
economics that have been that were conjured up over the
last several years while Trump was being prosecuted. The advisors,
(09:01):
the economists, we're behind the scenes putting together various plays
in the playbook. I think they've run their plays so
fast in the first six months that what we're seeing
already in job growth and GDP growth in America has
(09:22):
even stunned guys like Scott Bessen, our Treasury Secretary. And
now you're seeing the FED being revealed for what it is.
After the break, let's decode this the American people. We're
the bosses. We are the bosses, we're the sovereign. And
if you don't know how the games play, we have to.
We are going to interpret and translate their language to
(09:45):
our language so you can see and defend yourself when
you are confronted with maybe a younger family member that
wants to challenge you on your political or economic beliefs.
All right, welcome back for the defense of the American people.
I am attorney Brad Kaufel. I respond to all email.
I continue to get email every week. Send them to
(10:07):
me Brad at Kaffel Law dot com. Brad at Kaffel
Law dot com. It's k O f f e L
Law dot com. We're based here in Columbus. We're broadcasting
from the heartland of the United States. iHeart Media six
to ten WTVN, the blowtorch of central Ohio. We can
catch Detroit, can't We general on a good day, a
(10:29):
good day and the winds moving the right direction.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Right, and it has to have the atmospheric conditions be
just right. Too much humidity email, and.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
If they see the clouds too much and then maybe
it interferes with our transmits.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Yeah, then you're gonna have to get on diehearten.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Okay. So here's the deal. We have to continue to
keep the momentum going. Trump got in there was his
back in office, his plans that he is communicating and
what he's doing, and the numbers are starting to bear
it out. Trump. If the news talking heads don't like it,
(11:07):
then you'd probably do. If the talking heads like something,
then it's probably bad for you.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
And to be fair to David Byrne, we're not talking
about the musical growth.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
That's right. Thanks for clarification. Here's the thing in court,
when the prosecutor objects to something and I'm not exactly
sure why the prosecutor's objecting.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Then we want it in.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
I want it in. If I'm introducing testimony or an
exhibit and the prosecutor objects, and I'm like, why would
you object to this? Well, now I'm doubling down. Now
for sure, I want this in. If a prosecutor tries
to pass a witness or testimony or an exhibit into
the case that we didn't necessarily seem coming, or we
(11:52):
didn't think it was a big deal, but we did
see coming, we object. No, if they want it, we don't.
There is no agreement. There is no bipartisanship. We are
in too deep of a whole, too many decades behind
to have bipartisanship. There can be no bipartisanship. What needs
(12:13):
to happen in America cannot be done in a bipartisan way.
It can't be done with a centrist Democrat. It cannot
be done with a centrist Republican. What needs to happen
in America and what is happening must come from the right,
a very distinct voice, a brave, strong voice, and a
(12:38):
growing chorus from the right.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
And I can also say that as long as there's
there are some populist left people like RFK Junior that
can help out on that too.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
This is not a bipartisan issue. What mus what must
happen in America, what's happening in America must remain in
an a It must come from the right and even
and much right of center. And I'm not talking to
cultural issues. I'm talking the what. The only thing that
matters to you right now is your check account, your
(13:17):
checky account, your paycheck, your ability to not only.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
You need to support and make a way forward for
your family.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Right you have to have hope. Without hope, there's really nothing,
there's no incentive to do anything. And with a big government,
and with the institutionalization of service. When when the nation
or the church or the nation state or the Catholic Church,
(13:48):
when it came in as an institutional power and said
we'll take care of everybody. We don't need you, you
do need us. We don't want to institutionalize care compassion,
We don't want to institutionalize service to others.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
We neither want nor need a babysitter.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
We want it back. We want government out of the way.
Government doesn't solve anything. So you know what government does.
It taxes and starts wars and at stemy's entrepreneurism.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
And choosels away at your rights.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
So stop listening to the news, stop listening to mainstream media,
stop listening to cable. Pick your authors, pick your podcasters,
pick your talking heads very carefully, but do your own research.
Trump escalates trade tariffs, a new fifty percent duty on Brazil,
(14:41):
twenty five percent on India.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
He is fifteen percent on all of Europe.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
And fifteen percent on the rest of Europe plus South Korea.
We're in We're in trade negotiations with Canada and Mexico
right now as of this recording, twenty four hours to
go for those two countries. We have federal appeals courts,
federal appeals courts that are trying to undermine Trump's tariff authority.
(15:08):
You have to have these tariffs general explain why from
the right, the far right Trump tariffs are very important
in the present world.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
We have, First of all, what Trump is doing. These
tariffs are not actual tariffs. Tariffs traditionally have been to
protect a domestic industry against foreign competition. So, for instance,
all during the fifties, sixties, and seventies, we had tariffs
against sugar coming into the United States because it cost
(15:41):
a lot to make sugar in the US, and so
Latin American countries in Cuba could make it so much cheaper,
so they would put tariffs on any sugar coming into
the US.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Pause the sugar producers were American owned, they were American controlled.
The Americans who vocalize op position to sugar tariffs were
because it was affecting them.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Go ahead, right, So, but if you are trying to
protect an industry, what you would do is you would say,
there's going to be this tariff on all sugar coming
into the US from anywhere. But that's not what Trump
is doingrect what Trump is saying is number one, only
(16:25):
certain countries will have tariffs on their products. Now, how
does that protect the American sugar industry in that example,
it doesn't. He also says, if you come here and
make your sugar here, you can evade the tariff. How
does that protect American sugar production companies. It doesn't. These
are not traditional tariffs. These are not being used to
(16:48):
protect an industry. These are being used to accomplish diplomatic objectives.
When Venezuela was emptying out their prisons and shipping a
gang members like crazy, Trump said you need to stop,
and they thumb their nose at him.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Economic warfare, and.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Then he said, okay, well then we're putting a tariff
on all products from Venezuela.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
People.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Right now, when you put a tariff on all products
from Venezuela, you're not protecting an American industry because it's
all products, you see. And so the scalpel these are,
these are not These are not traditional tariffs. So are
traditional tariffs the way they've been used forever bad for America? Yes,
(17:31):
I think they are. But these are not your grandpa's tariffs.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
What what the what the Trumpian economy is about is
picking up on the Reagan Revolution, which is picking up
on what was being said in the early sixties with
the very beginning of the of the conservatives. The early
conservatives the original conservatives, and those are the holdovers who
(17:55):
were objecting to FDR's big society. FDR got a lot
of his big ideas from a big society. Uh, FDR's
Pardon Me.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Was a great The great society was Linda Johnson.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Now, FDR's new deal good deal. A lot of FDR's
new deal came from a guy named Huey Long who
was showing socialism in a big way, of populist socialism
out of Louisiana. And if you want a very very
very interesting American character, read up on Huey Long Kingfisher, Yes, Louisiana.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Not only do I deny the allegation, I de notw
the alligator.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
You have to study history to understand the arguments that
we're making, the problems that we're experiencing. The opposing forces
and voices that you're hearing have been here before. So, uh,
what Trump's doing with these tariffs is the general just
mentioned is effectuating positive change from main street USA, putting
(18:56):
in tariffs not to protect an industry, but to get
industry back to the United States make things here right.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
These European automakers can avoid these fifteen percent tariffs by
simply doing what Honda did back in nineteen eighty three.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
And Barack Obama couldn't figure out how to reshore jobs.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Well, let have a magic wand he said he.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Had didn't have a magic wand it can't be done.
It can be shown.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
You can tell you that.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
No, when briefed Obama, if you use tariffs this way,
you can have a carrot and stick, and you can
carrot these companies back to the United States, and you'll
have job growth. And once you move out all the
millions and millions of undocumented migrant human traffic workers and worse,
(19:44):
you move them out, those jobs will be filled by Americans. Yes,
they may need to raise wages, Okay, they might need
to offer additional incentives to get a twenty five thirty
year old, forty five year old American to take a
job that for the last thirty years, forty years was
done by someone from Mexico. Okay, maybe we need to
(20:07):
have higher prices. Okay, but right now, inflation's team GDP
is growing. What's the FED doing not cooperating? After the
break will break this down? Smart, interpret what's happening, Get smart,
get educated, and talk to your kids and grandkids about
this stuff. Please, you know, general, there's a meme going around.
(20:34):
I don't know if you saw it. Do you do
any on social media? Do you even get memes?
Speaker 2 (20:38):
I do.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
So there's a meme that shows a quote by Ronald
allegedly by Ronald Reagan, that essentially says that the Democrats
if the American people, the Democrat policies only work if
the American people are hurting and can't. It was it
(21:01):
was a very good AI fake deep fake. I heard this.
It sounds like something Reagan would say. It was a
little over the top and he never said this. What
the purpose of it is The message is correct, and
(21:21):
then overlaying it on Ronald Reagan makes a ton of sense.
And you may get this meme may it's coming around
right now. But you have people like Elizabeth Warren and
AOC and Hakeem Jeffries and who's the billionaire in New
York City senator who Chuck Schumer? Right, So it's that class,
(21:44):
the permanent government class who.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Tried to make frozen Hamburgers on a grill.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Right, the permanent government class on video like these folks
are the people that don't like Trump or anything that
Trump had been stration is doing. They don't want things
to work. Why they can't afford to have things to
work if things work out over the balance of twenty
five the way they are and into twenty six, the
(22:11):
left is dead. They're dead. They're already they're all. The
left is already just the I don't want to cast
too wide of aspersion, but you can kind of see
what the left is turning into. And they said that, well,
inflation's out of control. It's not. The economy is going
to get ketured.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Pure percent inflation, and inflation's out of control.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
They're going to say the economy is going to get
killed by Trump's tariffs. They're not. We have a three
percent GDP, a new high. Inflation is as low as
it's been in quite a while. None of these horrible
things have happened, yet they continue to talk like it's happening.
Someone needs to get Hakeem Jeffreys a Wall Street Journal
(22:56):
to read or something, because Hakem is is prancing around
the Senate Chamber and his eyeballs are going to come
out of his head.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
The guy's going to give you, Cory Booker a pardon me,
Senate Corey Booker.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
But Hekeem's doing the same thing in the house.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Yes, they when he's not standing there with a baseball batter.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
They have no message, kids, They have no nothing to frame.
And if you they can't talk about the overall economic
trend being positive news. The consumer spending is up, and
you know what, government spending is actually flat for the year.
The government is not growing. The private sector is delivering
(23:43):
literally all of the economic growth so far. And there
are people among us, millions of neighbors, friends and family
who believe that if government doesn't keep spending, we're going
to have a recession, a collapse, a civil war. And
we haven't. That's not and it's not going to happen.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Because that's where they get their power from, is government spending.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
You can look at the what government spending has done
to the United States dollar. You can look what government
spending has done to the civility in the in America.
You can look at what big government spending has done
to divide the people, divide the races. You can see
(24:30):
what big government spending has done to your paycheck.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
It's hollowed out America.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
So if you want to continue down that road, you're
either going to you're going to need to go find
a different country. You're going to go and just move
to Europe because the far right, and I'm not talking culturally,
I'm talking economics. The far right understands and that we
have been saying this, those of us that believe in this,
have been saying this since Milton Friedman. We've been saying
(24:58):
this since right after World War Two. The real driver
of long term economic growth for any nation is private investment.
Fixed private investment. I'm not talking about just building a
bunch of cheap homes, houses, duplexes and apartments. I'm talking
about buildings, factories, capital equipment, big things. And we are
(25:24):
going to and we now are going to have huge
tax incentives and tariff incentives for companies, corporations, partnerships and
individuals and maybe you know, husbands and wives, maybe fathers
and sons, mothers and sons. Maybe that we are going
to go take our money and go buy a house,
(25:46):
spruce it up and rent it. Right, you don't need
government for this. There are people with a lot of
money that are looking for old, abandoned plants or facilities
that have been left behind.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
We've got those, we have them.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Or they're not used to maximum capacity. We have those.
They're now looking to buy big heavy equipment, capital equipment.
They want to expand production Caterpillar, right, they want to
expand actual investment into our communities. Things aren't slowing down, friends,
They're picking up All American citizens are getting these jobs.
(26:25):
You're seeing the exodus. I was in California last week.
You're seeing the exodus self. You can drive self deportation.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
You can drive sixty five miles an hour on the
main California thoroughfares again. Now it's almost like a COVID
for illegal aliens.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
It's crazy what I saw. I mean the the it's
what I saw in California last week. We were up
on the north. We went over to actually Lagunaseeka for
an Indie race. But you're seeing the positive economic impact
general of the tariffs and these other countries going, hey,
I want to avoid a fifteen percent tariff or fifty
(27:05):
percent tariff. What do I need to do, Sir Donald?
Once you build something in Hebren, Ohio, why don't you
build something in West Jeff. We are getting our financial
house in order, guys. And once the BBB the effects
of the big beautiful built which I was a compromise.
(27:26):
I'm not happy with it, but.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
There were some things that weren't great.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Right, it's going to turbo charge all this. The private
sector is getting the breathing room that it needs to
expand and to grow and to increase prosperity. And the
model that I suggest we're using is how we rebuilt
Japan after World War Two. You got in there, go
(27:51):
for it. You had no REGs, low regulatory environment, low tax,
if any tax environment you had it literally was welcome.
Please come. You got a you got a surfboard, Okay,
you know how to surf, go over here and set
up your own little your own little business doing surfing lessons.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Well, even before that, you got a shovel. We'll pay
you to clean up the rebel.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
That could be a country song. The Right and I
met in Nashville.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
I've met.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
I have a new friend, dear friend. I met him
on the California trip. He's become a dear friend already.
He's a country singer. He's a singer songwriter, and he's
a kind of a traditionalist. He's an unapology unapologetic traditionalist.
Dave Wilbert is his name, and he's a beautiful singer songwriter,
(28:41):
but he's write songs for those of us that were
kids in the sixties, seventies and early eighties. Check him out.
One of my favorite songs state Route five mile State
Route five or Route five Box nine one oh nine. Yeah,
ive box one oh nine, beautiful lyrics. Check that out.
(29:03):
This is about getting government out of the way, whether
it's taxation, regulation, it's getting out of the way. This
is entirely private sector growth general, and this is phenomenal news.
But it gets better with AI and these servers. We
have a mega megawatt shortage of electrical power and the
(29:28):
data centers and AI and quantum computing are hogging up.
According to a source one of the interviews, I listened
to the new data centers that are being built. AI
is hogging and these data centers are hogging up two
thirds of all new capacity demand. So we have to
(29:53):
be energy dominant, full spectrum, including wind, including nuclear. Let's
figure it out. Things are going so well in America
right now, and you would never know it if you
read the New York Times, if you watch CNN, you
would never know it if you watch the legacy outlets.
(30:15):
Why because the federal spending is stalling, and we need
to keep the reversal going. But that message is only
coming from the right and what they call the far right.
All right, thanks for sticking around, Continue to listen again.
I hope you check out my new friend from Nashville,
(30:37):
Dave Wilbert w I L B E r T. If
you if you like old traditional country music, check him out. Uh.
The message of this show, probably the next show, We're
going to stay out of the gutter on the daily
retail politics. But it's very important to interpret this. Uh, this
economy and the stimulus packages and the policy, the economic
(31:01):
policies that are at play.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
One of the things that you just said was very important.
The DIFFERENTI HR show from everybody else, which is everybody
else does talk about what's happening in politics that day.
We talk about how these trends historically can be analyzed.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
So I'm you walk through London, you walk through New
York City, you walk through pick any big city, and
I'm looking around, like, how does this place function? I
mean how does it? And it functions at the at
the at the street level. It functions because decisions are
(31:40):
that are made. The best decisions are the ones made
by individuals on the ground, not central planners, because knowledge
is decentralized. How a delivery truck can get fresh produce
to that restaurant in the heart of Manhattan. The government
(32:03):
central planning in DC doesn't know how to deliver properly
and efficiently those goods, you know, but the restaurant owner does.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
That's true. And Milton Friedman, or maybe it was Thomas Sole,
one of our favorite economics economics professors, said, there's simply
no way that a bureaucrat in Washington, d C. Can
determine how many hot dogs Americans are going to need
at their barbecues in July. Correct. So, but the market
(32:34):
will do.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
It if you want to. If you're going to live
in a free society, and you're not going to be
you know, one of these folks who we see in
court every now and then that say these laws don't
apply to me. America remains the greatest country, period.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
That's why people vote with their feet and try to
come here.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
The American dollar is going to strengthen, and it's going
to strengthen because America. Maybe twelve months ago, America was
on the ropes. Look who was president, Look who was running,
Look who was telling the people. Look who was telling
us that she was the she would improve your life.
(33:17):
She just decided that she can't even win governor of
her own state. And she's not even bothering. You saw
that news, right, I did, Kamala or Kamala.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
Yeah, And I sympathize because you can't go around drunk
when you're at the government.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Well, I disagree pretty surely. I'm pretty sure I can
go back in time and name uh plenty of presidents,
including H. W.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
Bush.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Uh. So, as we explain to our younger generation that
the role of government is is not the government you
grew up with. It's not the government that your parents
grew up with. The real spirit of America is to
have a very, very, very a much smaller government, and
(34:09):
we will step up. The American people will step up
to help each other, no different than and this includes
foreign born, immigrant, legal.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Or illegal naturalized citizens. I don't care who want to
assimilate them.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
If I see. I'm pretty sure the guy that detailed
my car in the spring our cars is illegal. Actually
I know because I asked him. But I'm like, what
can we do to help? I've met his son. His
son goes to one of the suburban high schools here
and our middle schools. What can we do to help you.
(34:45):
I don't need the government. We don't want the government
to replace our duty to serve others. Government isn't virtuous.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Well, there was a story. There was a story that
was told back in the eighties by Margaret Thatcher when
Mikhail Gorbachev came to England and as she was driving
him around, he had this sort of a sneer on
his face, like you're just showing me a Potempkin village
of London, just like we show Patempkin villages of Moscow.
And she said, no, I'm going to get out of
the car now, and you tell this driver to go
(35:19):
anywhere you want. And he drove all over the countryside
and he was amazed that no Potempkin village could be
this big. And when he got back, realizing that everything
was going so well and there were no lines, you know,
he went in and out of shops all that kind
of stuff. He came back to her and says, he said,
you have to share with me your five year plan.
We need this in Russia. She said, Mikhail, there is
(35:42):
no five year plan. This stuff takes care of itself. Right.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Gorby learned a lot from the West. And another historical
figure that I think is very very relevant today is
to read up on Gorby, what Gorby did with the
Soviet Union, how he cooperated with Reagan Bush forty one.
(36:07):
These guys really like Gorby and he got it.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Well. He realized too, that the sheer numbers of the
Russian military could no longer beat our technology advantage.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
Well, you have to take care of the people, and
the people are going to take We're going to take
care of each other. Nation states start wars, organized religions
start wars. The people don't. You might have a boundary
dispute because the sheep from the pasture next door.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
Those stern fields.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
We can take care. We don't need the government. It's regulations,
and we don't need we need safety regulations. But the
private economy preserves personal liberty. It rewards, it rewards businesses
on producing what consumers want and need, and that will
set the price. The market's not perfect, but the private
(37:03):
market is far superior to political control. And whatever works
the private economy has pales in comparison to the distortions, inefficiencies,
and corruption of state planning. How are you doing very well.
So defending laws I fare capitalism is very very important.
(37:28):
And you're only going to hear this from what is
being called the far right. And as long as you understand,
if you want to talk like this and you want
to say I'm from the far right, understand it evokes
an image in other people's minds that you're some sort
of national socialist. You're not a national socialist.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
Socialism is not a creature fright.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
I'm not a Nazi. We're not, we're not. This is
just simply you can do it. You can do it.
You sixteen to thirty year old, you can do it.
You have gifts, talents, energy, energy, know how. Don't look
(38:12):
for a job just to have a paycheck. Figure out
how to take those talents. Make your own sugar and
be your own sugar daddy. Don't look for the corporate
guaranteed paycheck. Go figure out how you can own your
own thing.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
A lot of people did two or three jobs in
order to get a stake together to buy their own house. Right,
you can do it too.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
But you're not going to get ahead with taxation the
way it is. You're not going to start your own
business with regulatory environment the way it is, you're not
going to get ahead by our nation as a whole
is not going to get ahead. Expanding welfare state entitlements.
We have created too many generations of dependence who no
(38:57):
longer know what personal responsibility is. Why because there are
no there's no one to teach it to them.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
And when you're in college, don't major in gender studies.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
If you want to, look, if you want to, I
got no again again culturally general, I'm not going there
with you. I don't care what you do. I mean, look,
I'm saying if I guess what you're saying is, don't
go to study gender studies because it's not going to
pay you.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
I'm saying that don't. Don't don't do four years of
gender studies and then come out and say I need
to be hired by somebody who pays one hundred and
fifty grand a year. Forget about it.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
Study what you want to study, get a job that pays,
but don't don't sell your life to a career just
to have a paycheck. You got to do what you
like to do, do what you like to do, do
your own thing. But in order for you to do
your own thing, you're going to find out that the
tax system screwed up. To do your own thing. You're
(39:52):
going to find out that the regulatory environment is oppressive
and it's Stemy's, it's Stemy's and oppresses your innate gifts
and talents that we all need. We all need something
from you. It doesn't matter if it doesn't matter your conditioners.
We need, we need something we can use you. Right,
(40:15):
But this whole Keynesian economics and the aftermath of the
Great Depression, that the government is here to solve everything
that needs to be killed permanently. Keep the momentum going, guys,
thanks for listening. I'm Brad Kaufel. That's the general. This
(40:37):
is six' to TEN wtvn for The defense of The American.
People
We're back. July twenty twenty five is.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
In the rearview, Mayor, General, we are.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
I didn't see you hardly at all this summer, just
July out of this past month.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Yeah, you were making yourself scarce.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
You know the time. So I've been doing this. This
is my thirty first year as a as a lawyer,
criminal defense layer here in Greater Central Ohio. Money through Friday. General,
the General and I in our respective.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Law firms, We of us do it on the weekends.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
We both do. Crime doesn't stop on Friday's at six pm,
just kind of gets rolling downe that.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Thank goodness.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
So I've always taken the summer to slow down. The
court system slows down. I think, you know, cops, detectives.
Everyone's kind of taken their foot off the gas pedal,
and I take advantage of that.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
They all go skiing.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
And then the summer the Coffels take a family trip.
Our kids are in their twenties now and we're lucky,
fortunate made the right decisions hopefully to keep everyone together,
and we take our family trips in the summer. We
try to do something over the holidays. This year, General,
we went back to England to see my wife's family
(01:17):
on her mother's side. Her mother was born in nineteen
twenty four. She was just a pup during the bombings
of London and she spent a lot of her time
in nineteen forty one. This is her mother that is
down below ground during the bombings. My son has picked
(01:38):
up a new interest in history, American history, the founding
and all that, and some World War two. So we
got a chance to go over to Winston Churchill's war rooms.
Now I have it every time I go visit a
historical landmark, and I've never been to Churchill's war rooms.
Which if you're any if you have any love of history,
(02:02):
and you find yourself on the other side of the pond,
do yourself a favor and go see Churchill's war rooms.
Just hear how it all kind of came together. And
the ironic thing is, and I didn't know this until
I went and did this tour, the ironic thing is
there was a hidden door down in these war rooms
(02:23):
below ground. The Nazis never knew they were down there.
Down in the war room, there was a hidden door
off a hallway that nobody was allowed to even stop
in front of.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Now that's the one that led to the eighteen hole
golf course.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
You weren't even if you were caught stopping in front
of this unmarked door, you would be arrested. And on
the other side of the door was a telephone with
the hope was a secure cable, Transatlantic cable that popped
up in a big white house that fed right to FDR.
(03:03):
So Fdr and Churchill talked.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
They had a hotline.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
They had a hotline, and you know they at the
end of the day, England got herself into a jam
in the Great War, World War One, we helped out.
England got herself in a jam in World War Two,
we helped her out. We've never stopped helping. So I
walk over, I'm walking around and I have you know crookies,
These these things that go on your sunglasses, you wear
(03:28):
around your neck like.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
This to make you look like an American.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Well it has the American flag. So my crookies an
American flag. And I'm walking through England with my American
flag and we look American. There's just no way to
hide khaki shorts and golf shirts in England. So we
are walking around and make no mistake about it. I've
got my American flag crooquies, and we're taking the black
(03:51):
cabs everywhere. I love the black cab. Why can't we
have in our big cities black cabs. The English know
how to do mass transit these black cabs in order there.
They could put hundreds of thousands of miles kilometers on
these things. But the drivers, it is one of the
(04:14):
hardest jobs to get. You have to do four years
of study and take multiple tests to become a black
black cab driver. So I ask every single black cab
driver that I of course I interviewed, ask him questions.
Like my travel I always liked to ask questions, and
they love Donald Trump. The working class of England love
(04:36):
Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
The working class in New York did too. He felt
he was more at home with the cab drivers and
the construction guys than in the boardrooms.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
I found when I went to Toronto several months ago
with some friends, I didn't see anyone. I just I
thought I was in I thought I was in the
Middle East. I thought I was an idiot. I thought,
I mean, it was not what you would expect. Canadian
city look like London is the same. It's getting very
(05:05):
much overrun by other parts of the world, other civilizations,
the Arab world, Muslims as well, and they are having
a major civilization clash. The quote Native Britain's the English people,
(05:28):
they don't live in the cities anymore. They move out
into the countryside. Same things happening here in America. There
is a candidate named Nigel Paraj who is a who's
very Trumpian that the working class in England love. Now
the globalists, your money managers, you're internationalists, they don't. They
(05:50):
love what's happening in these big cities. But the people
that actually make the products and deliver the local services
do not like the labor party that's controlling England right now.
And we certainly didn't like the uniparty controlling America well.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
And part of the reason that the Conservatives lost was
because all of these people who don't like labor also
didn't like the Conservatives because they were labor light for sure.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Well, now you have the melding of the like Trump
had at the twenty twenty four RNC. The very first
speaker right was the leader of the teamsters. You have
a melding of the working class of all races and
against the concentration of the globalists, internationalists, and the big
(06:44):
government socialists.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
And the country club Republicans.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
And the country club Republicans. Thank you. So what's happening
in our country is also has been happening in England.
And if you want to see in the future, then
go see some of these European cities that have been
under this type of socialist democrat. Make our government bigger,
(07:10):
have our government solve all our problems. Take our income
taxes over fifty percent. Go see that government cannot deliver
essential services. Government cannot deliver anything that it promises. Nigel Faraj,
the candidate, the Trumpian candidate in England, is still several
(07:30):
years away from election. His party is called the Reform Party.
The traditional working class British is represented by a party
called the Reform Party. Think about that. We're right around
the corner from this. In this Zohan Mamdani is a
(07:52):
very much a Bill Clinton esque charismatic type of political things.
Just as Clinton became a disruptor with charm and wit
and smarts, this mom Donnie guy has it. And the
more that the media is captured by the internationalists, the globalists,
(08:16):
the big government, the country club Republicans, as long as
the media is the spokesperson for that group. You're always
going to be told that these tariffs are bad, that
free trade is the way to go, that any type
of tax reform just favors the wealthy. You're going to
(08:39):
be told these lies. And after the break, the General
and I want to spend a little bit extra time
today and this weekend explaining to you why the Trumpian
economics that have been that were conjured up over the
last several years while Trump was being prosecuted. The advisors,
(09:01):
the economists, we're behind the scenes putting together various plays
in the playbook. I think they've run their plays so
fast in the first six months that what we're seeing
already in job growth and GDP growth in America has
(09:22):
even stunned guys like Scott Bessen, our Treasury Secretary. And
now you're seeing the FED being revealed for what it is.
After the break, let's decode this the American people. We're
the bosses. We are the bosses, we're the sovereign. And
if you don't know how the games play, we have to.
We are going to interpret and translate their language to
(09:45):
our language so you can see and defend yourself when
you are confronted with maybe a younger family member that
wants to challenge you on your political or economic beliefs.
All right, welcome back for the defense of the American people.
I am attorney Brad Kaufel. I respond to all email.
I continue to get email every week. Send them to
(10:07):
me Brad at Kaffel Law dot com. Brad at Kaffel
Law dot com. It's k O f f e L
Law dot com. We're based here in Columbus. We're broadcasting
from the heartland of the United States. iHeart Media six
to ten WTVN, the blowtorch of central Ohio. We can
catch Detroit, can't We general on a good day, a
(10:29):
good day and the winds moving the right direction.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Right, and it has to have the atmospheric conditions be
just right. Too much humidity email, and.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
If they see the clouds too much and then maybe
it interferes with our transmits.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Yeah, then you're gonna have to get on diehearten.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Okay. So here's the deal. We have to continue to
keep the momentum going. Trump got in there was his
back in office, his plans that he is communicating and
what he's doing, and the numbers are starting to bear
it out. Trump. If the news talking heads don't like it,
(11:07):
then you'd probably do. If the talking heads like something,
then it's probably bad for you.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
And to be fair to David Byrne, we're not talking
about the musical growth.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
That's right. Thanks for clarification. Here's the thing in court,
when the prosecutor objects to something and I'm not exactly
sure why the prosecutor's objecting.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Then we want it in.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
I want it in. If I'm introducing testimony or an
exhibit and the prosecutor objects, and I'm like, why would
you object to this? Well, now I'm doubling down. Now
for sure, I want this in. If a prosecutor tries
to pass a witness or testimony or an exhibit into
the case that we didn't necessarily seem coming, or we
(11:52):
didn't think it was a big deal, but we did
see coming, we object. No, if they want it, we don't.
There is no agreement. There is no bipartisanship. We are
in too deep of a whole, too many decades behind
to have bipartisanship. There can be no bipartisanship. What needs
(12:13):
to happen in America cannot be done in a bipartisan way.
It can't be done with a centrist Democrat. It cannot
be done with a centrist Republican. What needs to happen
in America and what is happening must come from the right,
a very distinct voice, a brave, strong voice, and a
(12:38):
growing chorus from the right.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
And I can also say that as long as there's
there are some populist left people like RFK Junior that
can help out on that too.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
This is not a bipartisan issue. What mus what must
happen in America, what's happening in America must remain in
an a It must come from the right and even
and much right of center. And I'm not talking to
cultural issues. I'm talking the what. The only thing that
matters to you right now is your check account, your
(13:17):
checky account, your paycheck, your ability to not only.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
You need to support and make a way forward for
your family.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Right you have to have hope. Without hope, there's really nothing,
there's no incentive to do anything. And with a big government,
and with the institutionalization of service. When when the nation
or the church or the nation state or the Catholic Church,
(13:48):
when it came in as an institutional power and said
we'll take care of everybody. We don't need you, you
do need us. We don't want to institutionalize care compassion,
We don't want to institutionalize service to others.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
We neither want nor need a babysitter.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
We want it back. We want government out of the way.
Government doesn't solve anything. So you know what government does.
It taxes and starts wars and at stemy's entrepreneurism.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
And choosels away at your rights.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
So stop listening to the news, stop listening to mainstream media,
stop listening to cable. Pick your authors, pick your podcasters,
pick your talking heads very carefully, but do your own research.
Trump escalates trade tariffs, a new fifty percent duty on Brazil,
(14:41):
twenty five percent on India.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
He is fifteen percent on all of Europe.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
And fifteen percent on the rest of Europe plus South Korea.
We're in We're in trade negotiations with Canada and Mexico
right now as of this recording, twenty four hours to
go for those two countries. We have federal appeals courts,
federal appeals courts that are trying to undermine Trump's tariff authority.
(15:08):
You have to have these tariffs general explain why from
the right, the far right Trump tariffs are very important
in the present world.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
We have, First of all, what Trump is doing. These
tariffs are not actual tariffs. Tariffs traditionally have been to
protect a domestic industry against foreign competition. So, for instance,
all during the fifties, sixties, and seventies, we had tariffs
against sugar coming into the United States because it cost
(15:41):
a lot to make sugar in the US, and so
Latin American countries in Cuba could make it so much cheaper,
so they would put tariffs on any sugar coming into
the US.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Pause the sugar producers were American owned, they were American controlled.
The Americans who vocalize op position to sugar tariffs were
because it was affecting them.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Go ahead, right, So, but if you are trying to
protect an industry, what you would do is you would say,
there's going to be this tariff on all sugar coming
into the US from anywhere. But that's not what Trump
is doingrect what Trump is saying is number one, only
(16:25):
certain countries will have tariffs on their products. Now, how
does that protect the American sugar industry in that example,
it doesn't. He also says, if you come here and
make your sugar here, you can evade the tariff. How
does that protect American sugar production companies. It doesn't. These
are not traditional tariffs. These are not being used to
(16:48):
protect an industry. These are being used to accomplish diplomatic objectives.
When Venezuela was emptying out their prisons and shipping a
gang members like crazy, Trump said you need to stop,
and they thumb their nose at him.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Economic warfare, and.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Then he said, okay, well then we're putting a tariff
on all products from Venezuela.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
People.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Right now, when you put a tariff on all products
from Venezuela, you're not protecting an American industry because it's
all products, you see. And so the scalpel these are,
these are not These are not traditional tariffs. So are
traditional tariffs the way they've been used forever bad for America? Yes,
(17:31):
I think they are. But these are not your grandpa's tariffs.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
What what the what the Trumpian economy is about is
picking up on the Reagan Revolution, which is picking up
on what was being said in the early sixties with
the very beginning of the of the conservatives. The early
conservatives the original conservatives, and those are the holdovers who
(17:55):
were objecting to FDR's big society. FDR got a lot
of his big ideas from a big society. Uh, FDR's
Pardon Me.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Was a great The great society was Linda Johnson.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Now, FDR's new deal good deal. A lot of FDR's
new deal came from a guy named Huey Long who
was showing socialism in a big way, of populist socialism
out of Louisiana. And if you want a very very
very interesting American character, read up on Huey Long Kingfisher, Yes, Louisiana.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Not only do I deny the allegation, I de notw
the alligator.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
You have to study history to understand the arguments that
we're making, the problems that we're experiencing. The opposing forces
and voices that you're hearing have been here before. So, uh,
what Trump's doing with these tariffs is the general just
mentioned is effectuating positive change from main street USA, putting
(18:56):
in tariffs not to protect an industry, but to get
industry back to the United States make things here right.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
These European automakers can avoid these fifteen percent tariffs by
simply doing what Honda did back in nineteen eighty three.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
And Barack Obama couldn't figure out how to reshore jobs.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Well, let have a magic wand he said he.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Had didn't have a magic wand it can't be done.
It can be shown.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
You can tell you that.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
No, when briefed Obama, if you use tariffs this way,
you can have a carrot and stick, and you can
carrot these companies back to the United States, and you'll
have job growth. And once you move out all the
millions and millions of undocumented migrant human traffic workers and worse,
(19:44):
you move them out, those jobs will be filled by Americans. Yes,
they may need to raise wages, Okay, they might need
to offer additional incentives to get a twenty five thirty
year old, forty five year old American to take a
job that for the last thirty years, forty years was
done by someone from Mexico. Okay, maybe we need to
(20:07):
have higher prices. Okay, but right now, inflation's team GDP
is growing. What's the FED doing not cooperating? After the
break will break this down? Smart, interpret what's happening, Get smart,
get educated, and talk to your kids and grandkids about
this stuff. Please, you know, general, there's a meme going around.
(20:34):
I don't know if you saw it. Do you do
any on social media? Do you even get memes?
Speaker 2 (20:38):
I do.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
So there's a meme that shows a quote by Ronald
allegedly by Ronald Reagan, that essentially says that the Democrats
if the American people, the Democrat policies only work if
the American people are hurting and can't. It was it
(21:01):
was a very good AI fake deep fake. I heard this.
It sounds like something Reagan would say. It was a
little over the top and he never said this. What
the purpose of it is The message is correct, and
(21:21):
then overlaying it on Ronald Reagan makes a ton of sense.
And you may get this meme may it's coming around
right now. But you have people like Elizabeth Warren and
AOC and Hakeem Jeffries and who's the billionaire in New
York City senator who Chuck Schumer? Right, So it's that class,
(21:44):
the permanent government class who.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Tried to make frozen Hamburgers on a grill.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Right, the permanent government class on video like these folks
are the people that don't like Trump or anything that
Trump had been stration is doing. They don't want things
to work. Why they can't afford to have things to
work if things work out over the balance of twenty
five the way they are and into twenty six, the
(22:11):
left is dead. They're dead. They're already they're all. The
left is already just the I don't want to cast
too wide of aspersion, but you can kind of see
what the left is turning into. And they said that, well,
inflation's out of control. It's not. The economy is going
to get ketured.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Pure percent inflation, and inflation's out of control.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
They're going to say the economy is going to get
killed by Trump's tariffs. They're not. We have a three
percent GDP, a new high. Inflation is as low as
it's been in quite a while. None of these horrible
things have happened, yet they continue to talk like it's happening.
Someone needs to get Hakeem Jeffreys a Wall Street Journal
(22:56):
to read or something, because Hakem is is prancing around
the Senate Chamber and his eyeballs are going to come
out of his head.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
The guy's going to give you, Cory Booker a pardon me,
Senate Corey Booker.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
But Hekeem's doing the same thing in the house.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Yes, they when he's not standing there with a baseball batter.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
They have no message, kids, They have no nothing to frame.
And if you they can't talk about the overall economic
trend being positive news. The consumer spending is up, and
you know what, government spending is actually flat for the year.
The government is not growing. The private sector is delivering
(23:43):
literally all of the economic growth so far. And there
are people among us, millions of neighbors, friends and family
who believe that if government doesn't keep spending, we're going
to have a recession, a collapse, a civil war. And
we haven't. That's not and it's not going to happen.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Because that's where they get their power from, is government spending.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
You can look at the what government spending has done
to the United States dollar. You can look what government
spending has done to the civility in the in America.
You can look at what big government spending has done
to divide the people, divide the races. You can see
(24:30):
what big government spending has done to your paycheck.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
It's hollowed out America.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
So if you want to continue down that road, you're
either going to you're going to need to go find
a different country. You're going to go and just move
to Europe because the far right, and I'm not talking culturally,
I'm talking economics. The far right understands and that we
have been saying this, those of us that believe in this,
have been saying this since Milton Friedman. We've been saying
(24:58):
this since right after World War Two. The real driver
of long term economic growth for any nation is private investment.
Fixed private investment. I'm not talking about just building a
bunch of cheap homes, houses, duplexes and apartments. I'm talking
about buildings, factories, capital equipment, big things. And we are
(25:24):
going to and we now are going to have huge
tax incentives and tariff incentives for companies, corporations, partnerships and
individuals and maybe you know, husbands and wives, maybe fathers
and sons, mothers and sons. Maybe that we are going
to go take our money and go buy a house,
(25:46):
spruce it up and rent it. Right, you don't need
government for this. There are people with a lot of
money that are looking for old, abandoned plants or facilities
that have been left behind.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
We've got those, we have them.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Or they're not used to maximum capacity. We have those.
They're now looking to buy big heavy equipment, capital equipment.
They want to expand production Caterpillar, right, they want to
expand actual investment into our communities. Things aren't slowing down, friends,
They're picking up All American citizens are getting these jobs.
(26:25):
You're seeing the exodus. I was in California last week.
You're seeing the exodus self. You can drive self deportation.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
You can drive sixty five miles an hour on the
main California thoroughfares again. Now it's almost like a COVID
for illegal aliens.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
It's crazy what I saw. I mean the the it's
what I saw in California last week. We were up
on the north. We went over to actually Lagunaseeka for
an Indie race. But you're seeing the positive economic impact
general of the tariffs and these other countries going, hey,
I want to avoid a fifteen percent tariff or fifty
(27:05):
percent tariff. What do I need to do, Sir Donald?
Once you build something in Hebren, Ohio, why don't you
build something in West Jeff. We are getting our financial
house in order, guys. And once the BBB the effects
of the big beautiful built which I was a compromise.
(27:26):
I'm not happy with it, but.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
There were some things that weren't great.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Right, it's going to turbo charge all this. The private
sector is getting the breathing room that it needs to
expand and to grow and to increase prosperity. And the
model that I suggest we're using is how we rebuilt
Japan after World War Two. You got in there, go
(27:51):
for it. You had no REGs, low regulatory environment, low tax,
if any tax environment you had it literally was welcome.
Please come. You got a you got a surfboard, Okay,
you know how to surf, go over here and set
up your own little your own little business doing surfing lessons.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Well, even before that, you got a shovel. We'll pay
you to clean up the rebel.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
That could be a country song. The Right and I
met in Nashville.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
I've met.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
I have a new friend, dear friend. I met him
on the California trip. He's become a dear friend already.
He's a country singer. He's a singer songwriter, and he's
a kind of a traditionalist. He's an unapology unapologetic traditionalist.
Dave Wilbert is his name, and he's a beautiful singer songwriter,
(28:41):
but he's write songs for those of us that were
kids in the sixties, seventies and early eighties. Check him out.
One of my favorite songs state Route five mile State
Route five or Route five Box nine one oh nine. Yeah,
ive box one oh nine, beautiful lyrics. Check that out.
(29:03):
This is about getting government out of the way, whether
it's taxation, regulation, it's getting out of the way. This
is entirely private sector growth general, and this is phenomenal news.
But it gets better with AI and these servers. We
have a mega megawatt shortage of electrical power and the
(29:28):
data centers and AI and quantum computing are hogging up.
According to a source one of the interviews, I listened
to the new data centers that are being built. AI
is hogging and these data centers are hogging up two
thirds of all new capacity demand. So we have to
(29:53):
be energy dominant, full spectrum, including wind, including nuclear. Let's
figure it out. Things are going so well in America
right now, and you would never know it if you
read the New York Times, if you watch CNN, you
would never know it if you watch the legacy outlets.
(30:15):
Why because the federal spending is stalling, and we need
to keep the reversal going. But that message is only
coming from the right and what they call the far right.
All right, thanks for sticking around, Continue to listen again.
I hope you check out my new friend from Nashville,
(30:37):
Dave Wilbert w I L B E r T. If
you if you like old traditional country music, check him out. Uh.
The message of this show, probably the next show, We're
going to stay out of the gutter on the daily
retail politics. But it's very important to interpret this. Uh, this
economy and the stimulus packages and the policy, the economic
(31:01):
policies that are at play.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
One of the things that you just said was very important.
The DIFFERENTI HR show from everybody else, which is everybody
else does talk about what's happening in politics that day.
We talk about how these trends historically can be analyzed.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
So I'm you walk through London, you walk through New
York City, you walk through pick any big city, and
I'm looking around, like, how does this place function? I
mean how does it? And it functions at the at
the at the street level. It functions because decisions are
(31:40):
that are made. The best decisions are the ones made
by individuals on the ground, not central planners, because knowledge
is decentralized. How a delivery truck can get fresh produce
to that restaurant in the heart of Manhattan. The government
(32:03):
central planning in DC doesn't know how to deliver properly
and efficiently those goods, you know, but the restaurant owner does.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
That's true. And Milton Friedman, or maybe it was Thomas Sole,
one of our favorite economics economics professors, said, there's simply
no way that a bureaucrat in Washington, d C. Can
determine how many hot dogs Americans are going to need
at their barbecues in July. Correct. So, but the market
(32:34):
will do.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
It if you want to. If you're going to live
in a free society, and you're not going to be
you know, one of these folks who we see in
court every now and then that say these laws don't
apply to me. America remains the greatest country, period.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
That's why people vote with their feet and try to
come here.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
The American dollar is going to strengthen, and it's going
to strengthen because America. Maybe twelve months ago, America was
on the ropes. Look who was president, Look who was running,
Look who was telling the people. Look who was telling
us that she was the she would improve your life.
(33:17):
She just decided that she can't even win governor of
her own state. And she's not even bothering. You saw
that news, right, I did, Kamala or Kamala.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
Yeah, And I sympathize because you can't go around drunk
when you're at the government.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Well, I disagree pretty surely. I'm pretty sure I can
go back in time and name uh plenty of presidents,
including H. W.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
Bush.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Uh. So, as we explain to our younger generation that
the role of government is is not the government you
grew up with. It's not the government that your parents
grew up with. The real spirit of America is to
have a very, very, very a much smaller government, and
(34:09):
we will step up. The American people will step up
to help each other, no different than and this includes
foreign born, immigrant, legal.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Or illegal naturalized citizens. I don't care who want to
assimilate them.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
If I see. I'm pretty sure the guy that detailed
my car in the spring our cars is illegal. Actually
I know because I asked him. But I'm like, what
can we do to help? I've met his son. His
son goes to one of the suburban high schools here
and our middle schools. What can we do to help you.
(34:45):
I don't need the government. We don't want the government
to replace our duty to serve others. Government isn't virtuous.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Well, there was a story. There was a story that
was told back in the eighties by Margaret Thatcher when
Mikhail Gorbachev came to England and as she was driving
him around, he had this sort of a sneer on
his face, like you're just showing me a Potempkin village
of London, just like we show Patempkin villages of Moscow.
And she said, no, I'm going to get out of
the car now, and you tell this driver to go
(35:19):
anywhere you want. And he drove all over the countryside
and he was amazed that no Potempkin village could be
this big. And when he got back, realizing that everything
was going so well and there were no lines, you know,
he went in and out of shops all that kind
of stuff. He came back to her and says, he said,
you have to share with me your five year plan.
We need this in Russia. She said, Mikhail, there is
(35:42):
no five year plan. This stuff takes care of itself. Right.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Gorby learned a lot from the West. And another historical
figure that I think is very very relevant today is
to read up on Gorby, what Gorby did with the
Soviet Union, how he cooperated with Reagan Bush forty one.
(36:07):
These guys really like Gorby and he got it.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Well. He realized too, that the sheer numbers of the
Russian military could no longer beat our technology advantage.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
Well, you have to take care of the people, and
the people are going to take We're going to take
care of each other. Nation states start wars, organized religions
start wars. The people don't. You might have a boundary
dispute because the sheep from the pasture next door.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
Those stern fields.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
We can take care. We don't need the government. It's regulations,
and we don't need we need safety regulations. But the
private economy preserves personal liberty. It rewards, it rewards businesses
on producing what consumers want and need, and that will
set the price. The market's not perfect, but the private
(37:03):
market is far superior to political control. And whatever works
the private economy has pales in comparison to the distortions, inefficiencies,
and corruption of state planning. How are you doing very well.
So defending laws I fare capitalism is very very important.
(37:28):
And you're only going to hear this from what is
being called the far right. And as long as you understand,
if you want to talk like this and you want
to say I'm from the far right, understand it evokes
an image in other people's minds that you're some sort
of national socialist. You're not a national socialist.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
Socialism is not a creature fright.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
I'm not a Nazi. We're not, we're not. This is
just simply you can do it. You can do it.
You sixteen to thirty year old, you can do it.
You have gifts, talents, energy, energy, know how. Don't look
(38:12):
for a job just to have a paycheck. Figure out
how to take those talents. Make your own sugar and
be your own sugar daddy. Don't look for the corporate
guaranteed paycheck. Go figure out how you can own your
own thing.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
A lot of people did two or three jobs in
order to get a stake together to buy their own house. Right,
you can do it too.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
But you're not going to get ahead with taxation the
way it is. You're not going to start your own
business with regulatory environment the way it is, you're not
going to get ahead by our nation as a whole
is not going to get ahead. Expanding welfare state entitlements.
We have created too many generations of dependence who no
(38:57):
longer know what personal responsibility is. Why because there are
no there's no one to teach it to them.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
And when you're in college, don't major in gender studies.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
If you want to, look, if you want to, I
got no again again culturally general, I'm not going there
with you. I don't care what you do. I mean, look,
I'm saying if I guess what you're saying is, don't
go to study gender studies because it's not going to
pay you.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
I'm saying that don't. Don't don't do four years of
gender studies and then come out and say I need
to be hired by somebody who pays one hundred and
fifty grand a year. Forget about it.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
Study what you want to study, get a job that pays,
but don't don't sell your life to a career just
to have a paycheck. You got to do what you
like to do, do what you like to do, do
your own thing. But in order for you to do
your own thing, you're going to find out that the
tax system screwed up. To do your own thing. You're
(39:52):
going to find out that the regulatory environment is oppressive
and it's Stemy's, it's Stemy's and oppresses your innate gifts
and talents that we all need. We all need something
from you. It doesn't matter if it doesn't matter your conditioners.
We need, we need something we can use you. Right,
(40:15):
But this whole Keynesian economics and the aftermath of the
Great Depression, that the government is here to solve everything
that needs to be killed permanently. Keep the momentum going, guys,
thanks for listening. I'm Brad Kaufel. That's the general. This
(40:37):
is six' to TEN wtvn for The defense of The American.
