Speaker 2 (01:04):
Welcome to another edition of Carnivore Bites. Was Jeff shermanlong
with doctor Eric Lopkin A lot on the agenda today
in our podcast weekly Podcast. But I think I know
we agreed to start with a phenomenon that might be
overly used from time to time. But do you agree

(01:26):
with me, doctor Loblin, that this is a political phenomenon?
What is going on with the Democratic Party? Would you
agree with that and then give some of your insights please.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
It is a phenomenon. It's not an unheard of phenomenon.
We saw the same thing happened to the Democrats back
in nineteen eighty. We also saw the same thing happen
to the Republicans during the Obama administration. It is a

(01:57):
complete meltdown and they have lost touch with the people.
They are doubling down on the narrative that caused them
to lose the election, and they realize, at least some
of them realize this. We talked about Dean last week

(02:19):
and James Carvell have both come out. Now there's a
couple more Democrats who have all come out saying, you know,
we need to stop this, we need to work with Trump.
At the bulk of the party seems to have no
interest in that. They are staging protests to fake outrage.

(02:41):
They're screaming at the top of their lungs. And what's
truly amazing is that they have not actually complained about
a single issue.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
Well, how about are watching Jeffries mentioning Medicare is an issue.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
It's an issue, but it's a nonexistent issue. He was yelling, Yeah,
he was yelling about the framework that the House passed
for the upcoming budget that they were going to cut
Medicare and cut Medicaid, except the framework didn't mention any
cuts to any of those programs, not to social Security,

(03:22):
not to Medicare, and not to medicate. And this is
actually something my wife mentioned this. You know, my wife
is turning sixty and she remembers the Democrats yelling that
the Republicans were going to cut Medicare and Medicaid fifty

(03:42):
years ago, and it never happens. There they have not
adapted to the new voters.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Well, let me interject one thing. I agree with you
that every party, the Republicans had their time a long
time in the desert. You could actually say, I know
there is eyes and hoower, I get it, but they
were in the desert, especially congressionally from FDR on. I
know obviously you know with Eisenhower and whatever. But I

(04:17):
think the difference to get more like a recent historical reference. Yeah,
the Democrats were in the in the in the woods
after Reagan, but they weren't the the Sugana party. No,
you have not. Now they're in they're clinically insane. So
there is a difference. And I want you to come,

(04:38):
but it's a real difference. It's not a joke, okay,
that you can resurrect yourself from being let's say, instead
of favoring you know, twenty percent tax rates, you were
in favor of twenty five. Okay, you're four, you know,
maybe more affirmative action, okay, but men in in girls'

(05:01):
bathrooms d I mean, the list goes on and on
and on and on. I don't know. You're the mastermind.
How do you resurrect yourself? And there's no players to
do that. The shining star of the Democratic Party, the
one they're looking at as their savior, is Chris Murphy,
who just voted against, by the way, aide for Israel

(05:23):
led by the self hating Jew, Bernie Sanders. But anyway him,
he's a savior, not exactly the Messiah.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
No, that is a major problem that the Democrats have
right now. And you would have thought having lost both
houses and the White House, and of course they have
no control over the Supreme Court and the Judiciary, now
you would have thought they would have a come to
Jesus moment. And again there have been certain people again

(06:00):
going back to Dean, but he has actually said, get
the DNC out of Washington, get them talking to the
voters around the country, because they are very clearly out
of touch. But they seem to be absolutely determined to

(06:21):
stay in their echo chamber. There are all of these
doge protests that where you've got Democrats yelling at the
top of their lungs. They're all being held in Washington.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
D C.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
None of them are are out in the you know,
in the rest of the country. They are doubling down
on the woke ideas that got them kicked out of office,
and they don't seem to realize that the voters have
abandoned this. And there was there was a story that

(06:55):
the Hollywood Reporter did where some of the studios are
starting to back away from DEI and starting to back
away from the woe and Hollywood and Forda said, because
they don't want to end up in the cross hairs
of the Trump administration. But that's not actually where the

(07:17):
cross hairs are coming from. They're coming from the shareholders.
They're coming from regular Americans who have had it. And
the Democrats just don't seem to want to accept the
new reality.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
No, they don't. By the way, the head of Disney,
which is you talk about incomponency on steroids, I think
she was there for like almost twenty years, is stepping down.
But I will give you another analogy. And you know,
like we just talked about, you know, minutes ago, if
you were driving on the street, right on the road

(07:55):
and you barely cross the yellow divide, easily resurrected, correct,
doctor Lopkin. But if you're driving into the other lanes,
breakdown lane, not so easy. And that's my analogy of
the Democratic Party. They are so out to the left,
they're so scared of the far left. I don't I

(08:20):
won't call them progresses. I think that's far too kind.
And even who's leading the charge now in front of
the using the F bombs, and I mean unhinged, even
like Pocahontas, you know, not having a civil desc like
and people see this in Peoria, Montanic of these people

(08:41):
are unhinged, screaming at all these appointment hearings. They look
like idiots.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
Yeah, the Democrats did not look good during the cabinet
appointment hearings at all. I mean, not only did they
seem you know, angry in their attack, but they also
seemed completely unprepared for the hearing, which I think, quite frankly,
is worse. But what's really said is that again they're

(09:12):
not paying attention to what's really going on. And I
think Greg Guttfeld on Fox actually said it best. The
big problem is the Democrats are determined to play left
versus right, but the Trump administration isn't playing left versus right.

(09:33):
They're playing insiders versus outsiders. And the Democrats don't have
any outsiders. They it's like they can't even understand the game.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
And while the true well, before you go on, that
is an amazing point, you're right. If I just transported
you into a you know, you're a great baseball player, football,
and all of a sudden you're playing cricket, he's not
going to go too well. And I think you're right.
They become This was years ago. I heard a couple
of years ago they it was the Republicans that were

(10:08):
the party of the man. It's now the Democrats. They're
the party of the man.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
Yes, the Democrats have become the party of the status quo.
There they've always been the party yes and the powers
to be. But you had said something a little while
ago about them being afraid of the radical left. I
don't even think it's a matter of fear at this point.

(10:36):
I think they're so ingrained in their echo chamber with CNN,
with MSNBC, with the BBC, with all of these media outlets,
and that are that we now know we're getting money
from USAID that the Democrats kept funding them, that they're

(10:58):
they're not even ware that the other side exists. They
don't know what is going on. They actually think that
the radical left is how the country thinks, because this
is what their media is telling them. This is what Okay,
they're polsters, like the Harris polsters and the Biden pollsters

(11:21):
weren't telling them because they're not talking to Americans. They're
just talking inside the Beltway.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
I would agree with you one thousand percent, but from
you as a business consultant. And I saw this in
an editorial the other day, isn't it perplexing? I mean, see,
I think this is a metaphor, how do you like
this for the Democratic Party? CNN, MSNBC, even though there's

(11:52):
money at stake, are so hooked on the drug of
leftist ideology they can't help themselves even when their own
future is in jeopardy. Isn't that not correct? Because I'm
a gast a gast that okay, MSNBC. That's like, you know,
people watch that in mental hospitals. But CNN, you think, okay,

(12:17):
shift pivot. No, it's the same shit. It's unbelievable. I mean.
And if you look at even MSNBC's ratings before you
go on to the real like, Okay, Joey Reid got
fired right Joy Reid, and I thought it was a joke.
There's like knitting with Aunt Nancy on cable acts eighty

(12:37):
thousand in key demographics that you out of your mind.
The mule law gets two hundred.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
The problem with the media companies, with CNN, with MSNBC
is that they've been preaching to the left for so
long that for the last i'd say, probably decade, they've
all and they've been preaching to the left longer than that,

(13:08):
but for the last decade or so, they've only been
hiring die hard leftists yep. So in order for them
to return to the center and actually return to profitability
and become credible again, they literally have to fire everybody everyone,

(13:31):
And that's that's that's something that is almost impossible to do,
because you can't get rid of everybody unless you've got
a whole bunch of new people ready to come in.
And those people aren't really out there.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
No, Well, you're going into a dead industry. You could
fire everyone at the Hartford Current or whatever, the Indianapolis Examiner,
and yeah, great, no one's going to go into newspapers, Genie,
it's a dyeing. My point is cable cable news is
like terrestrial news was twenty years ago. It's pretty much

(14:09):
game over. The landscape's changed. You're the average age of
people that watch CNN are It's like welcome to the
nursing home. See that.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
But that's actually what is going on. CNN just announced
a little while ago. We talked about it a few
weeks ago, a major overhaul in their programming. Well, the
reason they were doing this they don't even care about
the ratings anymore. They know nobody's watching watching them. They

(14:40):
also know that people are getting more and more news
from the streaming channels, and that's where CNN is now focusing.
They've got an entire CNN digital channel that you can
get through Max, which is also owned by you know, Time,
Warner Warner Discovery. They changed owners so many times it's

(15:04):
hard to keep up. But they're at least saying, you
know what, this is dead, We're moving on. MSNBC is stuck.
They've got nowhere, it would.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
Before we go on. They're also more than stuck because
they don't have big Brother helping. They don't have Comcast.
They will not have Comcasts.

Speaker 1 (15:23):
Right, No, Comcast is spinning them off. Yeah, and Comcast
is actually taking steps to bring the news back to
some credibility. It was why Joy Reid was fired. It's
why Lester Holt has been removed from NBC Nightly News

(15:43):
or he will be leaving in August. I think it
is they didn't fire him. They're moving him over the dateline.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
But oh yeah, that's like you were VP of sales
and marketing and now your regional manager of Central Connecticut
fails and distribution. Now, I don't think so. And by
the way, just to clue in, he was always on dateline.
So now he's going to be instead of two Well
but that's right.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
That no, that's gonna be his full time job now though.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
That's what the will go from two episodes to four.
Let's have a party. But how would you think the
bigger picture though Joy Reid having her mental breakdown. Rachel Maddow,
you mentioned Lester hold You look at Keith Oberman with
his he I think this guy's really kind of nuts.
He's been fired from every job since MSN, since the ESPN.

(16:34):
But isn't it like the dying howls of They're just
dying howls of a dead media. They're not going graciously
into the night.

Speaker 1 (16:45):
Oh no, they're not going gracefully into the good night.
They are fighting at tooth and nail and I mean there.
But what you're seeing now, yo, especially with Joy Reid.
If you take a look at social media, you'll see

(17:06):
the DEI pundits yelling, this is why we have to
protect DEI because Joy Reid was just fired. It's like, no,
this is actually why you need to get rid of
DEI because she was a complete failure and the only
reason to keep her on was DEI. She was a

(17:29):
black woman. It looked bad to get rid of her.
It was anti DEI, so they kept her despite the
fact that she kept failing over and over again. And
it's not just companies. The same thing just happened at
the Pentagon. Trump replaced the head of the Joint Chiefs

(17:50):
and people were yelling, well, he's black, this is why
we need DEI. His replacement isn't as qualified as he is.
You know what I don't know the qualifications of his replacement.
He may not be as qualified, but I know this
about his replacement. He wasn't responsible for the Afghanistan withdrawal.

Speaker 2 (18:10):
There you go, yes, yes, yes, yeah. And also instead
of you know, well, instead of worrying about things he
should have been worried, he was focused and fixated on
DEI and diversity, and that's where it leads you to Afghanistan.
Very good job. I do think it's it's going to

(18:31):
get increasingly interesting. It'll be increasingly enjoyable for me to
watch because I have a twisted sense of humor, and
I think the next one that's on the firing line
is the great one. Rachel Maddow. I don't know this
your own network.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
I don't know that they're going to fire her. They've
already announced that starting in April, she will be going
back to doing her show just one day a week.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
Hmm, Well, kind of firing to me. But anyway, the relevancy,
I mean, when you go to eighty thousand, let's just
put this in a nutshell and we move on eighty thousand.
I mean again, there's like reruns of I don't know
the Johnny Quest that get that it's ridiculous, but we
also look at the whole woke agenda doesn't seem to quit.

(19:26):
You looked at the Oscars again in the whole thesis
of not learning your lesson. So no one watches this shit,
you know, Oscars, Grammys for very someone that's not their fault,
the decentralization of media, other factors. But okay, so you're
hurting for ratings. What do you do? You have everyone
wear a Progaza pin. Mm hmm.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
Yeah, it has been amazing. You had Jane Fonda at
I think it was the Sago that the SAG Awards.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
You had come out unintended, right.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
You had Kamala Harris at the N double A CP
Image Awards.

Speaker 2 (20:08):
I wait a second, with a couple of too many Wait, wait, wait,
you just can't move on from that. I I think
at the bar that was again you if you tell
you're you're the doctor, If you could tell me what
the hell she was talking about, you truly do deserve
your titleist I have.

Speaker 1 (20:30):
I have no idea what it was saying, but you know,
I mean the end the N double A CP Awards,
this was a disaster and it had nothing to do
with the organization or the presentation itself, aside from Harris's yeah,
you'll notice that I think it was incredibly poor taste.

(20:55):
And I don't know how many people caught this, but
Harris actually used the flames. You know, you the phrase
you can see the flames. Okay, this was in such
poor tapes because then not only was it in Pasadena,

(21:16):
it was in the Pasadena Coliseum. The Pasadena Colisseum was
being used as a shelter for the people who lost
their homes, and they threw the victims of the wildfires
out because my god, because they had to tape the

(21:39):
NUBAACP Image Awards and episodes of America's Got Talent.

Speaker 2 (21:48):
Well, that shows you, you know, the true heart of liberalism.
We've talked about that before. When you're you're they're youthful idiots,
they love you. When you're no longer of youth, then
wh't you step outside for a couple of days while
we shoot some meaningless bullshit.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
You Meanwhile, while they're throwing the victims of the wildfires
out of their shelter, you've got Jane Fonda yelling that
what woke means is is that you actually give a
damn about people. Well, you just disproved that.

Speaker 2 (22:23):
And by the way, this is a billion years ago
what she did in North Vietnam. Any real company country
would have her in prison for treason. That's no joke.
That's no joke. Are you doing about manning an anti aircraft?
Go ahead.

Speaker 1 (22:40):
I still have not forgiven her for that. And there's
a lot of people who had family members that served
in Vietnam that YO served veterans from the Vietnam era.
We have not forgotten and we have not forgiven.

Speaker 2 (22:57):
No, you have an elitist piece of shit that grew
up in Hollywood, probably graduated with the eighth grade. I
have no frigging idea. And yeah, you can protest at home, fine,
everyone has a right for free speech. But you go
over it's coddling the enemy. It's disgusting. And she's so
she has got more plastic surgery than Reynolds rap as well.

(23:18):
You know, I thought there was a plastic shortage. My god,
she looks like she's twenty five. Well, you know, she smiles.
It's probably a sonic boom. It's brutal.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
You know, she's no longer biodegradable.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
Yeah, it's well, you know, everyone wants to stay on forever.
She's accomplished that. But but it's also interruting. You talk
about the tide of things changing. The Eagles, the Philadelphia
Eagles Super Bowl champions twenty seventeen. You know, eighteen years
ago they were Trump extended an invitation to go to

(23:53):
the White House. They refused, and that was really cool.
I didn't think it was cool. But in the press
and most feel yeah, yeah, yeah, they enthusiastically except he
didn't officially do it. But he's going to. We already
talked about that off ear, but did the invitation's coming.
Why do I bring it up, not just because I'm
an Eagles fan, is because the atmosphere, the environment is

(24:16):
one hundred and eighty degrees what it used to be.
It really in other words, hold on real quick. In
other words, if they didn't show up, it's not only
not cool, they'd be chastised for not doing it. It
would hurt the franchise. How do you like that?

Speaker 1 (24:32):
Yeah, it really has changed in the case of the Eagles.
First of all, Trump won Philadelphia, So for the Eagles
to say, oh, we're not going, you've just dissed most
of your fan base. On top of that, Trump was
actually at the game, and you had the fans cheering

(24:52):
for him. But I think the biggest indication of how
things have changed yes day they had the first White
House tour of the year and Trump actually went out
to greet them and say hello. And first of all,

(25:13):
Biden never if he saw one of the White House tours.
That was by accident.

Speaker 2 (25:19):
Yeah, he never, He'd run for the hill, right.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
He never interacted with anybody. But Trump made some comments,
said hello. As he was walking away, the entire crowd
started chanting us a US Ay, we have not seen
that for four years.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
No, wait, no, we I have to ask you this
flashback to twenty seventeen, that same situation happened. I think
people were just They wouldn't have insulted him. They made
they had some insults, but there'd be no USA, no way,
no way, no, because.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
They had the entire country conned at that point. He's evil,
He's hitler. And and by the way, every Republican presidential
candidate in my lifetime has apparently been hitler. If you
take a look at the campaigns, this is their go to.
Oh he's hitler, He's a dictator, and they haven't changed it.

(26:24):
The big difference is that when Biden self destructed during
the debate and they tried to cover for him, and
they and suddenly the American people realized, wait a minute,
they've been lying about his condition for years. It broke
the damn Suddenly they realized, wait a minute, they have

(26:45):
been lying to us, and we're not going to take
it anymore. And this is why they made some major changes.
They stopped the American people stopped watching CNN and MSNBC,
then started they started listening to podcasts. They started getting
more information online from reliable sources, not just social media.

(27:10):
And that's why right now there's a court there's a
court case. I'm not sure where it stands because it
looked like the Associated Press got their asses handed to
them by the judge yesterday. But the Associated Press is
fighting that they're not being let into the Oval office anymore.

(27:31):
And the reason for this is that the Trump White
House is completely changing the way they deal with media.
They're inviting more bloggers in, they're inviting more podcasters in
because that's where people are getting their news.

Speaker 2 (27:50):
Can you reject one thing on that, I agree with
you one hundred percent, but it also isn't it reflective
of again years ago, a billion years ago, was the
Democrats that would the hipsters, they knew the latest thing.
They're the dinosaurs you have, Sander, It's like a geriatric community,
uh Pocahontas. By the way, those two, including Murphy, voted

(28:11):
to it was sponsored by Sanders to stop aid to Israel,
of course, and also with Chris Murphy, the rising star
of the Dead. But isn't it really true that they're
the ones that you know? You look at here. I've
seen hearings, congressional hearings, and these Republicans are but a
lot of Democrats, these geriatrics, like they're in they're asking questions,

(28:34):
trying to interrogate, just like they did at the confirmation earrings.
And they let's see, it's on social media. They're like,
and if I dial a number, you're like, what you're
talking about? And when it beats, when the when the
US robotics thing goes TPP, does that mean I'm connected?
It's like, oh my god. But yeah, I think I

(28:54):
think it's a major problem. They're not learning their their lessons.
But there are repercusion and you have pencilneck. Okay, you
have a pencil neck and you also James Colney now
in the cross gears, and uh, it's it's serious talk
about that.

Speaker 1 (29:14):
Yeah, Adam Scheff, you were referring to his pencil neck,
which quite frankly, I don't think is a great nickname
because it could describe so many of the Democrats. But yes, Adam,
Adam Schiff's actions during the first Trump administration are now
being investigated by the Justice Department because he kept claiming

(29:36):
he had absolute proof that Donald Trump was a Russian collaborator,
and their own investigation, the Special Council, blew that out
of the water. And yet even after the Council, the
Special Council report came out, he kept going on television saying, no,

(29:58):
we haven't, we've proven it. So they're looking into him.
They're now looking into James Comy because before Trump was president,
the FBI was involved in what they call a honey
pot scheme, sending people into his campaign to try to

(30:20):
entrap him. They failed, But to do this to a
presidential candidate is unconstitutional.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
Call me is shitting bricks. Okay, a shift, I don't
know what allowed me to probably go away, but call
Me's in real trouble. The version they call it he
lied under oath.

Speaker 1 (30:41):
By the way, yes, he lied under oath, which you
know that's perjury right there. And you know he wasn't
pardoned by Biden, so he's got nothing to fall back on.
But what you're seeing now is we have a Justice

(31:01):
Department Pambondi. We have an FBI who Dan Bongino was
just appointed deputy director.

Speaker 2 (31:14):
And he's a guy. Well if you shift, he has
just meditatorial and videos of Bongino. He's not a big
fan of shifty ship.

Speaker 1 (31:25):
No no, But these are folks who have come in
with one mission and one mission only to depoliticize the
Justice Department, FBI and the federal government. And that's what
they're going to do. And the left is going to scream, oh,

(31:49):
it's all a vendetta. They're coming after the Democrats. No,
they are going after the people who are criminally liable
for turning government agencies into weapons.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
And you are you know, you also talk about bitching
and moaning and screaming, wailing, they're also wailing on the
whole department of government efficiency. Uh. And it's really very
interesting because polls, even very left leaning poles, eighty percent
of the country is in favor of it. Okay, it's
really kind of actually hysterical, and then you have basically

(32:33):
the Democrats railing against when Elon Musk had that email,
tell me three things that you've done in the last week.
That's almost boiler plate for when consultants come in for reorganization.
That's nothing new, that's been around since like the eighties.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
Hello, this is this is the problem with the status
quo and the government as a whole, both parties quite frankly,
they have no idea how things work in the real world.
Everything Dodge has been doing has been standard operating procedure
in the private sector. And this email, you know, send

(33:13):
you send us five things. This is not meant the
you know, the left wing. Well, they're they're checking up,
they're they're looking over people's shoulders. This actually wasn't meant
to look over people's shoulders, what their what their first
intention was they want to see what everybody's doing. But

(33:34):
the first thing was to see how many emails go
unanswered because the email address is no longer in use
by anybody an employ there because the person has you know,
doesn't check their emails anymore and isn't doing their job.
Guess what this is what you want to get rid

(33:57):
of the dead emails? Guess what? Server space costs money?
And if it's not being used in people, you know,
we need to delete it to save money. If people
aren't doing their jobs, we need to delete them and
save money. And you know they are, Oh, it's but
people are losing their jobs. How can you be so uncaring?

Speaker 2 (34:22):
Funny?

Speaker 1 (34:23):
Funny? I didn't hear one of these people eliciting any
sympathy when the folks working on the Keystone pipeline lost
their jobs because Biden pulled the plug.

Speaker 2 (34:37):
Nope, and they would find green jobs. Yeah, green maybe
mowing lawns, which still have not appeared. There you go, yeah,
they'll never will. And also, it's pretty funny about Biden.
The border was obviously out of control. You'd have to
be on acid not to think so. But remember he

(34:58):
was saying that you can't just to do this with
an executive order, you need Congress. Well, then why is
border crossings about zero? I mean when you really boiled.

Speaker 1 (35:08):
Yeah, border border crossings since Trump took office are down
ninety seven percent. And Biden kept saying, well, you know,
there's nothing I can do about it. I need Congress
to act. Congress still hasn't acted, and yet we solved
the problem. This just goes to show the incompetence of Biden.

(35:30):
And we knew this, I mean, we knew he was
mental and mental defective.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
But okay, wait, wait, wait, before you go on, is
his relevancy fading faster than the speed of sound? I've
never seen even Jimmy Carter I was around then, Hey, hey,
faded off into the sunset. But whoa, this guy is
nowhere to be seen.

Speaker 1 (35:54):
Well, Jimmy Carter didn't fade into the sunset though.

Speaker 2 (35:57):
JN thing initially, No, no, no, before he did habitats. Yeah,
I mean, you know, I'm saying, in the first year
or whatever, I've never known nothing. Just pin drops. I
don't think anyone misses the guy, including Democrats. No, no,
you'll be a footnote in history.

Speaker 1 (36:12):
Nobody misses him. Nobody will ever miss him. But take
a look at the difference in just a month. Okay,
let's let's take a look. One of the big achievements
of the Biden administration was the Chips Act. The Chips

(36:35):
Act was passed two years ago, possibly three already, and
there's work being done on a factory, but we haven't
seen any benefits from this. In the meanwhile, under the
Chips Act, the government shelled out billions of dollars to

(37:00):
private companies that we haven't seen any benefit from. Fast
forward to the Troy.

Speaker 2 (37:07):
Before you even go on throwing money, which is what
they like to do with no game plan, just here's
the money. I mean, you can't almost sometimes you can't
even blame the companies, like here's and billion, and there's
no you got to do this, that and the other.
Let me see your strategic plan now, none of that.
Just here's the money, show me the money. There you go.

Speaker 1 (37:27):
Well, now Trump has announced Project Stargate, which is his
AI project. Work has already begun on factories in Texas.
Hasn't even been in office a month yet not a
dime of government money is going to this. It's being

(37:49):
funded five hundred billion dollars from Apple five, another five
hundred billion from Oracle Soft Bank. The big difference. Biden
was spending taxpayer money and got nothing for it, where

(38:12):
Trump is having corporations foot the bill to make America
great again.

Speaker 2 (38:20):
Okay, but that doesn't really shock me at all because
Democrats ninety nine percent of them never worked in the privates.
They don't know the private they don't trust the eediting's
big government. So that doesn't really surprise me. But what
does surprise me? You talk about the month that Trump's
been in office, look at even the global SEMs. I

(38:41):
think Rubio has become a superstar. But there's been more
than just rumblings of a peace steel in Ukraine.

Speaker 1 (38:49):
Yes there there is and rare minerals. Yes, there has
been a lot of talk. Representatives of the Trump administration
have met with Russian representatives. They are actually willing to talk.
And you know, I find it amazing how liberals are

(39:10):
yelling you can't talk with Russia. They're evil, that you
can't talk. And it's funny because back in October that
was what they were saying about Trump. But you can't
get somebody to come to the negotiation table if all
you're doing is insulting them. You actually have to deal

(39:33):
with them as people. You don't have to like them
or agree with them.

Speaker 2 (39:39):
Well what he is? That really surprising as well, because
if you're a woke operative, which is what the Democrats are,
to talk to anyone, you have to learn why would
you talk to anyone you don't like. And the other
thing about it is during Vietnam, the Vietnam War, Kissinger
or others, well, Henry Kissing talk to the North Vietnamese?

(39:59):
Would do you think they were best buddies? How do
you not talk to someone? And the interesting part of
it is, I agree with Elsey Gabbert is a democratic
party is the party of war. Their game plan was
extremely dangerous in Ukraine. Just throw money, just barrels of
money with no game plan. Sounds reminiscent of Vietnam that
we lost.

Speaker 1 (40:19):
By the way, I was about to say, it is
the same game plan they used in Vietnam, and look
how well it worked.

Speaker 2 (40:25):
We're there, Yeah, it works out real well. Their strategy
in Vietnam. The geniuses, Aberge said, said the book, the
best and the brightest was it will kill more of
them than they'll kill of us. That's brilliant, very brilliant.
But it is a very interesting situation.

Speaker 1 (40:45):
I do it is an interesting situation. But now you've
got a major game changer on the international stage, because
you've got Zelenski is allegedly coming to the White House
on for to sign a deal where the US will
get rare earth minerals from Ukraine. Russia has already said

(41:10):
as part of the peace deal they are willing to
sell aluminum to America. Now, of course that's a big
benefit for Russia because their economy has completely disintegrated because
of this war. But it also changes the international picture

(41:33):
because it makes Trump's tariffs more powerful. Canada was yelling, well,
you can't put tariffs on us, will withhold our aluminum? Well,
now we don't need them. You've got Europe scattering because
now Trump is saying, you know what, you need to

(41:54):
pay your way. The United Kingdom has announced they are
raising their defense and they're going to keep raising it
until they hit three point five percent of their economy.
They've never hit two percent before. Germany is yelling, we
need to have an EU military to protect ourselves because

(42:16):
Trump doesn't care what happens to us, and the Trump
administration responded, it's not that we don't care what happens
to you, but how is it fair for us to
be footing the bill for your defense?

Speaker 2 (42:30):
Actually, to all my little humble opinion, I'm I'm not
that big of a fan of NATO, do you like?
I think it's agitated Russia needlessly. And I think they
should have a European Union defense contract or agreement or
union because it's eighty years after World War Two. Stand
on your own two feet, and what we're doing is

(42:51):
enabling their socialist agenda because they don't have to send
for themselves, just like Canada. Victor David hant And said
this in World War Two, even though you know, Canada's
much smaller enough, they contributed over their share and they
had their own beachhead that they took. Now they couldn't
take Rhode Island.

Speaker 1 (43:13):
Yeah, no, I mean, nobody know. The closest thing Canada
has to a military is the NHL.

Speaker 2 (43:20):
It's you know, it's yeah, there, you go, forget.

Speaker 1 (43:24):
The military, just throw the puck and have the hockey
players go after the enemy.

Speaker 2 (43:29):
Because but we enabled that to happen.

Speaker 1 (43:32):
We did. But I'm I'll be honest, I'm a little
torn on the idea of the EU having their own
defense because if you take a look at what happened
to the European Union economically, basically, Germany captured the all

(43:56):
of Europe without firing a shot. Pretty much, I want
Germany in charge of a European military. Things don't tend
not to go well when Germany gets a lot of
military power.

Speaker 2 (44:11):
We've seen two of the previews, haven't we We've been
