Ber All right, Rick and Bubba, we're theast wing of the White House here with the forty fifth presresident of the United States of America, Donald Trump. Pretty fancy place, right? I'm very nice. V' very nice. Not so bad. you've come a long way. We lock the cookies too. Yeah. We've got good cooks here. That's true. Thank you for lunch. The lunch was fantastic. Good..ormally do you eat a lot? What do you ask for lunch? Well, I don't have much time to eat. We're trying to pass tax cuts now We've got all sorts of things lined up tomorrow ahead for China, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, and the Philippines. Other than that, it won't be very busy. Well, let's talk about it. The tax plan We've been talking to some of the different members of your administration and there seems to be a lot of optimism about it. Of course, the economy is doing great even before this. The corporate tax cut could only make things big. Well, we're doing great as an economy tremendous numbers, tremendous stock market numbers every day, we're hitting new highs and the tax cuts but are really needed to really make this country take off like it should, the tax cuts are going to be very important. And I think they're going to happen. There's tremendous spirit in the Republican party. and I can tell you the Democrats are worried. You know, they're obstructionists and they're worried about it. But I think we're I think we're going to do fantastically well both in the Senate and in the House. Can you get it through? That's the key. I think so. Yeah, I think so. I think that there is, for instance We were really there on healthcare and then we got a surprisee and we're going to come back to healthcare right after the a soilver and we're going to get that done But I will say that I think there's I mean, you guys know as well as I do. you see what's going on Tremendous spirit to get the tax cuts. Yes. Yes. There's a lot of energy out there and tremendous. And during the campaign, when you said you could produce three percent growth, you were scoffed at And there it was. We just had it was revised up What three point one right. So we've already hit it. We had three point two and now we have three and the three is in a tough season because we had hurricanes we had Really five hurricanes. I mean, bad ones, as you know, probably better than I do. Yes. And that's supposed to be a point. That would mean we would have hit four So we had a GDP of three point two and three into the last two quarters. and most people didn't think we were going to be there for three years. So A lot of it is the fact that I cut The regul and the companies are already starting to really get back to work. Well there's a regulations have been very seriously cut. There There's a lot of small business that want to reinvest. They want so move forward with their They've been scared because they didn't know what was coming their way. They're ready to rock and this country is ready to rock. And don't forget, other countries have GDP at eleven, twelve, thirteen six, seven. We were at one point two when I came in. And it's just not acceptable. And now we're up to three. And each point in GDP is two point five trillion dollars. That's more money than we're talking about. to a large extent for tax cuts. I mean, that's actually more money than we're One point makes a tremendous difference. And nobody can tell me we're not going to get a point And we just left the Rose Garden you saw. We have Jay Powell going in at the Fed And he's a very, very talented guy. I think he's going to do a great job. Well, I think Americans, which is the reason why I believe that you won, I think a lot of us out there have been so frustrated that it seems like the government doesn't have basic concepts how business works and how the economy works and so many things the government does lacks logic. You know, we're small business owners and we weren't about to add any employees because everything was so uncertain. Then we went through the thing with Obamacare. And then we have this forced on us and we you know, which, you know has just been Obamacare, by the way, has been a disaster. I mean, it' and we've got to the wh fast. The wheels have already completely come off on. It's not like it's going to be bad It's really b in the phone call. As you know, we're talking about ending the individual mandate and giving that to the middle class and giving it to businesses where they, you know go out and create a lot of jobs But the mandate has been a disaster. The individual mandate has been a disaster. I mean peopleople that had insurance before Obamacare, now they have to pay not to have it. Right. It's got to be the most unpopular thing. onene of the most unpopular things I've seen in government. and so we' even considering getting rid of the individual mandate? Well there's a little bit of a frustration because I think there's people that said we voted for this administration and we want their vision for America to be implemented. Yeah. And they're going to get it. hestly They're going to get it. We're going to get the we're going to get repeal and replace and we're getting very close to getting it anyway. And Obamacare is exploding and imploding just as I said it would And the tax cuts are going to be very important. in a way, I feel a little bit guilty leaving for China and Japan and for South Korea now because you know, this is prime time. But I will say the receptivity and you people know it as well as I do, the receptivity has been fantastic for the tax cuts. What about when you talk about the corporate tax rate, I mean, that's obviously something you're very familiar with. Is this enough to really I willll be great. Yeah because being being the highest corporate rate, that makes zero sense. Right. Well, we're bringing from thirty five percent down to twenty. That's a tremendous. This will be the biggest tax cut in the history of our country So this will be bigger than anything we've done. And historically those have caused big booms. I think it's going to be tremendous. And also the reason I say for business, business needs it because we are one of the highest taxed countries in the world It's not even close, o. We're one of the highest tax in the world. and now we're going down to one of the lower, not the lowest. I'd like to be there too But you know, you can only do so much. And by the way, there is a phase two. Maybe we do a phase two if this kicks off like we think it will. But this will have a huge impact on business and a huge impact on jobs. If you get another shot at it, the Rick and bubble plane will be zero deductions and ten percent across the board Everybody. know find. I mean economy be difficult to get through, but it would get We figured God was far. You know, we could live with it. Hey there are some people that agree with that. I tell let me ask you this while we have you. We saw the test walls go up. Yeah. How do you feel about it? And you're going to go down and judge them right. I'm going to go down very soon and we're going to be when I get back sometime after I get back from Asia and we have five and even six test walls up. We call them prototypes And you know, it's interesting. We have the we have the border Patrol working on it and they're working hard and nice because they're the ones you want. And they want a certain vision through the wall Because if you think about it, you can't just have a concrete wall, then you don't know who's on the other side. So they want to have a vision through the wall. And no those are some great prototypes. There's one or two in particular that we like and I'll be going there over the next three or four weeks. So we' not to tell you what to do, but I'd go with Israelis. If anybody knows I on the wall Well, a min we got a couple of them from Alabama. Well, that's true. we do have from Alabama w ones in there. So So you just judge and put ribon on it and they win. Well, it's basically, I'll be picking the winner, but I'll be picking it with ice and I'll be picking it with the border patrol. And you just mentioned Israel, but their wall works. ninety nine point nine percent. That' got of history ninety nine point nine percent. Yeah. That's whatason why we thought was weird ope acted like he didn't like the wall when he leaves got a one. He What is? When I heard that, it was actually during the South Carolina primary. you know that, remember that? And it was during the South Carolina and I heard they that the Pope was sort of against the wall. And then I said, Wait minute, let me see some of the pictures of the Vatican. Well, ask the people who had to by their loved ones, said Absolutely Over the last twenty four, forty eight hours, because what It's not immoral and it's not unreasonable to say that we're not saying that people can't come into our country. We simply want to vet them out to keep our citizens secure. And that's a reasonable statement. And we want a merit based system. That. We don't want lotteries. and you can imagine who they put in those lotteries. They're not putting their finest. No. They're not putting you guys in the lottery. Okay that let's not even talk about it but they're not putting hard for people to understand A lot of people inconceivable, but I think now they're understanding it. and I would like to say move fast because in three weeks from now, they won't understand it to the same extent. Now I understand a lot of Democrats want to end that lottery system. Well, I I've been talking about the lottery system for a while. I've also been talking about chain migration Chain migration Chain migration's a killer Yeah where somebody like him can come in and they'll bring everybody twenty people, twenty three people with him potentially. his case. he only has a green card. No, he's a bad he's a bad person. He's an animal as far as I'm concerned. And we're going to be very tough. And if people don't understand that and they don't like it, we keep saying is, don't blame our country who now wants to be secure. Bame the people keep doing these kind of things. and that's what's causing us to start betveting. It's not our fault. It's the behavior of those who are coming in that tend to do harm. Well, we have extreme betveting and now we have more than that. I mean, you see what we've been doing. and we've done a great job at the border. seventy eight percent down And you look at that when, you know, if they went one percent down, it wasesday. It was seventy eight percent down people pouring into the border. And that's before the wall. That's just enforcing the laws that were already in place. Eorcing laws on borders for sarol and Iice, you know, they endorsed me. R. And the first time they've ever endorsed a presidential candidate You know why they want it they wanted to be allowed to do their job. They want to do You know they actually work much harder now than they used to and they love it They're doing their job. They love the country. they're proud of their country and they're doing their job. Well, thanks for taking time to include us today.

It'd be great if somebody who had a house that would be great for kids to play downstairs would maybe decide to have everybody over to their house afterwards so we all could visit for a few minutes. And I'm like, well could y'all have any more of a hnt like that? And so we had a couple of friends over and the kids had their downstairs New Year's Eve party Uh, and then we, um We decided decided I will, Sherry said we need to get some firework But you know, she's got some brave now she even tells me she survived that dilemma before Yeah when I almost, you know shot everybody. M up made made a mistake of the past where I had the family on the deck again where they're up a little highot Right And a l of fire. So I've got how you want to be close?

I've got the block you like that just shoots him out like crazy thenen I've got the big ones, you know, where you shoot the straight up fireworks that go up in the air where you drop the little ball in. with the you need to make sure the ball is pointed the right way? Yeah, yeah. by the way And one of my favorite rick is where you just take a little bit of all of them You wrap them in a big garbage bag and you lock the bag they run for your life. Amen. they shoot where they shoot it's just random. it's part of the fun. Kids don't. So so then now this is this is show you that you guys year. This is show you when you have children who are traumatized I shoot off one of the big ones and I've got two of the other men down there with me. h actually three other men. and I shoot one of the big ones. Well little kids next door across the way start coming out. My kids scream to them You're too little, go back in. My dad'll catch you on fire. You know It's dangerous. Don't come over here So I'm like, well, where's all the trust? So There's always this. I've shot a couple of them and the wives are ooing and on and the kids are Running around with sparklers and all that And then one of the d we live to hear our wives being preed. Right R. Well and we all know what happens when you get men together and fire All of a sudden one of them says, I tell you what, l we need to shoot two at the same time And right. And I said, well, we only have one One little Team He said, we got that Roman candle to you to which then the intelligent one of the group said, Hey guys, there are two different sizes of tubes One team' designed for this, the other designed for what it did It's too it's too wide and too tall You won't get the thrust To which we saidnd, a team's a teb Yeah No, he's right. Yeah like a barrel on you know, we let them go back in. How about this, Boby, he is absolutely right. And and we u So we dropped the firework in there and we have we're going to lot them both at the same time and they're going to shoot up in the air And nope, Nope. big big big did the mortar again. Big tube, Big tube took his firework and shot it about an inch and a half above the tube. Yeah. Uh exxploding the one next to him. And now we're running and our and one of them is the landscape designer who landscaped our yard so he knew where we should take cover, right? You know what I mean? He said, goo for the bushes and jump. And we're diving over bushes as he goes. And I mean lots up the whole yard I'm don't pitch your firecrackers I'm talking about the kind of fireworks that you like go and water Yeah in there big. You know, mean I mean, the big ones. and it's like it's still expanded. It looks like just haall of duty, right? Just like it should have done hundred feet hundreds of feet in the air. Oh, what a show They did the same thing hovering a few feet off the ground was I like a starburst under the deck more than I like one over theck. How about this? I f I felt, you know, how to explosion feelg. You know, the percussion of it. I felt it get on me. I mean as it knocked me over the bush. I'm glad you there, Greg, You' have been left behind. Oh, yeah, they weren't there. I had'd been over there paying. And then then you hear out of the smoke, Yall should have listen to T. You know The book of bllank comes out It's this one's so bad because she's been there before. Everybody get inside for it kills. That's it. Fun's over. Y'all happy now? Watch behind the window. You know, then But now next year though, you see, you've started something. Hey, Daddy, do what y'all did last year. Right Well. Oh yeah, that'll be disappointing from now. And and the wife are so mad at you, you have to ask when your guyf friends put the salve on you You know, Hey man, I'm Burn back here you don't mind, you don'tind, you know, as long as you agree to put it on the back of my leg, you know, so And Rick, I think the thing you ought to go for next year is a two stager Have one lock the other and whileall it's in the air. Well, you know what I need to do get. that'll get you some fun. Rick, H's an idea. getet two of the same size tubes. Yeah. Yeah If you wantan to shoot two. Yeah, buy two boxes. was a tube as a tube. Was it you? No, that wasn't me. that would But you agree? That would come from one Jeordi Hens. Of course. Oh a TJ. L roll time. U Bub this past weekend for me, it was u A stay home weekend, which was great. and my wife Sherry spent some time down at our family farm preparing for this weekend's Marriage conference, the part she's going to be presenting. She went and tried to put all that together. while of the boys And I spent some time hanging out. had one kid come home from college. so I had the oldest son with me and We spent most of the weekend together. We celebrated the real Greg Burges's birthday at my mom and dad's house yesterday. That was that was an extravagan. Well, how did that go? Well, you know, it was it was an active weekend. it all went really well. had Friday, of course, I had to take care of the first order business, and that was to purchase NA college football, twenty eleven. I guess while you were out getting Greg's gift. Yeah, while I was getting Greg's gift And Greg told me not to get him a gift. He said, I don't want any gifts. So you did And so I'm sitting there and So anyway, so we the boys and I went out to a theme park in our state called Alabama Adventure. So that involved the combination of water slides and amusement park rides. Oh God. which which is and boy hot and out of them I mean, I mean, I don't know if you've walked that pavement lately. H. And you know And they always want to do the format of water slides first, rides second. So now you now I'm rolling over to the rides and we're all wet. And but you drirave pretty quick there And made the mistake, even though it was a great day, had an outstanding day. You know, a lot of times when you go to theme parks, you know, your goal of trying to make sure you could go one time when everything's running. You know, which is raarely ever happens. you know, is there anything any worse feeling to go to a to a major amusement park, theme park and of sud you go and they go, Hey, so and so that ride ain't running and we ain't running. kids like why they rid it up? You know, so we over over a period of a thunderstorm slowing things down and which never happened just rumbled off in the distance, but they have to shut down anything that's high whichich is all the great Rds. You know what I mean? And So finally that kind of rumbled away and they opened back up and We had a great day and just just when I had had planned out everything perfect because when you go to a theme park You know, you have to its when you take kids to a theme park, it's a battle plan. Sure. I mean, you don't just casually. Now you can go to the beach and casually figure out what to do You don't ever casually Go into a theme park. with children with no plan of action. No. I tell people that all the time. you know, the first time parents or email, we're thinking about going to Six Flags or Disney World or something like we going to Alabama adventure You know, and I'm like, you got a plan Well, well, we were just wondering. You can't wonder I mean, you got it this is like going into battle. I mean this thing could turn into a disaster. So my battle plan was perfect, perfect And I made the mistake I made the mistake, almost free. I'm almost done. I'm not frustrated The lines were tolerable, everything was great Man and the boys had a great time. Uh, you know, I even, you know, we we won some of those carnival games and won some worthless prizes and and I'm just about to leave And I noticice the hot dog restaurant Nobody was in it. And and I thought, man, I can knock dinner out right here 'Cause you know, dads always that dinner cloud hangs over you in lunch If if mom's They want to know, she wants to know. didid you feed ' them? Right, And you start thinking this be Would this be an acceptable food for her? You know, that kind Probably not for mom. Yeah For dad, it's fine. Yeah. Cereal. So instead of hitting another restaurant while we're all tired on the way home, I said, let's knock this out right here. G it. Forgetting, of course, that u emmployees of theme parks Well, there's a lot of things they do well, but boys service and food just ain't one of them You know, I finally said to the young man I don't know that you could fix this hot dog any slower than you're doing it This is like watching a lava lamamp You know what I mean? Not the lamp. So you're saying it would have been quicker if the hot dog had come over and jumped in the bun itself. Yeah You know what you know what I did and this is the part where the because I was trying to represent crrch Right, which was difficult. And at one point, I really did say Just let me do it It's just hot dogs. I can do this. They're spinning on the little warmer. The buns are to your left. That's it takeake the weenie, put it in the bun, and give it to me. Let me have it how hard is that You know what I mean? And and, you know and the let me tell you what happened because I watched him wait on the one woman that was in front of me who wanted one plain hot dog I'm not you want for those you here, you want to show you my impression It's a visual. Yeah Yeah. The only you streamers and people here was I'm not making this up. Rick is up. Of course his theme park hat tilted to one side, of course. You know what I mean? Look, she walks in and he's back there with nobody. notothing. she walks in, she says, I would lock just one plain hot dog, Rick standing up like he's ordering. I'm not exact. First of all, he won't all up to the counter. And then the hot dogs are behind him, already cooked. Buns are to the left, theming and a tupperware thing. okay? Drink machine is over here. How' left. I would like one plain hot dog Now keep mind, I'm gonna get a lot more than that. Okay? One plain hot dog Head tilting. He walks over And then goes over to the God fororsaken plastic gloves, which I said more than When I say, when it's my time, just grab your hands, you're fine. We've done things a, lot more unclean than your hands probably are. You know what I mean? My gosh, we've been over here, you know, with piles of people like animals and water. You know what I mean? We've been going down slides a know, tell them what's in that water. You know what I mean So look, whatever. And look so here comes one glow trying to put his fingers in it barely. And look and I'm just like about to come apart. You know, I'm just like, how long does it take to put on a stupid bl? You know I mean? look, and he kind of gets it down Th then he didn't get it right one time he takes it back off. Correct. This is one hot we have the wrong fingers Yeah Yeah. Th then he finally gets that on and then he looks over and gets the other one Look and then he kind of works it down. Then he goes over there and he goes No to the tipw thing You can't get it open with buns in it O's got slick gloves on them.. Well, unfortunately, inside where the buns are, unfortunately they had not disconnected the buns for him and made them individuals. They were still attached. And that threw him for a loop Just tear it off. just but they come apart. Look, he he's keeping around with it. And I'm just like, Oh my gosh. And so finally and then and then he's just about to come over with a hot dog. He's just about got it over and she said and I would like a pretzel too And he turns around and he starts taking the gloves off. and I'm, leave them over next. You know? Just get it with the glove. You know,' like then there's a piece of paper he had to get for that. Oh, that just And I'm just s, I kid you, it took him Ten twelve minutes to hand a plain hot dog to a woman And I realize I've got to get a lot of them You know what I mean? Because you're hungry. So here's what I did. I thought this was smooth. I thought, I cannot watch this again. Okay, I can't because I'll do something that will crucify Christ. You know in this man's eyes. So so what I say it is because you remember the one time I was there and I removed the hot dog special? Yeah. I took it off the menu because they couldn't pull it off. Yeah. So line. Yeah. And I said, if you can't pull it off, just don't have it on the menu. You know what I mean? And And so I didn't want to do that again because I thought that's not being You know what I mean? So it's obvious It's obvious a lot was needed here Right. So so so this time I really did and I want to thank the Moss family God love you Scottbone and your and your beautiful children and your wife because When I ordered, I turned around not because I couldn't face what I was going to watch because I wanted like five hot dogs But all this. So I turn around And I see the Moss family coming outside the window who I know and go to church with I went out to them and we talked about everything about their family. We got updated And I just hoped that enough time would pass that I would then turn around and see the hot dogs, right? So I just couldn't look at it. I said, I can't look at what's happening back here And I walked outside and talked with them and that you know, when you talk to people time passes faster And I talked with them and ate up about ten, fifteen minutes And I came back and my hot dogs were coming to me And and so that that helped big time Because and I wanted a chili dog too, but I just couldn't know imagine if got the chili. I couldn't imagine if I'd asked him to get that chil You know what I mean? I couldn't im And then I your stomach thanks you too I mean, imagine Yeah And I know a grenade. I noticed they gave him also his job was to take care of hot dogs and pretzels and watch the solft serve line. H Oh That's soft server, take him all day gettinget that out. This young man can take that off. The showman can take that on You know, and and I tried to talk to him, which was a mistake.. You know, you ever try to you ever try to talk to you ever try to talk to some of our youngsters today?ay with it. Some of our young men and women. Ypp So man, how are you having a good time here today? You know, because when I come to theme park, I want to invite inside of Yeah. I want fun I want people I want people looking look at my kids. y'all having a good time at at theme park today You know, like that, hey you're by doing okay? How y'all doing today? What can I do for you You know, I made say man, you doing all right? Yeah it was me what' you say You ever looked a man in eye and spoke with some volume, son Rick in is defense. Are you capable of looking in someone's eyes acknowledging our family existence here. We just knocked down how hundreds of dollars here. Rick in his How was the hat? How was the hat tilted to the side, you know, with the theme part logo. What if you're the one sweating inside that office runing him numbers, youd love him with his hat tilted. But again, I mean the f this is who's representing everything you've invested. Un should have had a hat here,. What they charge to eat at these theme parts? They're not used to people coming in You shop here. You don't believe some. I' believe it buy. In't believe it. I think end up being four hot dogs, not five because I knew five too much So four hot dogs, two potato chips, one soft pretzel. Three Coca Cola' normal size Yeah,t that be' thirty five, thirty eight dollars. I said, Now now see, that time I heard you, you couldn't have said forty dollars. Yeah. You know what I mean? I wish I didn't hear that. And R clear. And R probablyroably has a tip jar on the counter. Yeah. Yeah, the gold put a tip jar out for a seven dollar hot dog. And know what my tip for him was, find a job where you don't interact with humans And look both ways when you cross the street Yeah, I mean you had for it doars. And how much you say? eighty dollars. . I tell dollars a do. If you noticed the price of all food, it seems like it's gone up.. Cheap Mexican ain't cheap anymore.. A ball park or a theme park try to eat there. I told the kids, prepare for what I want you to tell me is the greatest hot dog you memory. Rickin buuba, Rickking buuba Loving once again, as we've often talked about, we look to Europe as our example. I tell you, it's amazing. I've never seen the folks at the top of the heap looking around for help as much as we have. I know. wantant to reduce the effects of global warming This from US News. I I get in fear over it. They're very respectable US. news. Stop working so hard. Working fewer hours might help slow global warming. A according to a new study Released Monday by the Center for Economic Policy and res I bet they're a blast to have lunch with. I bet a party at Thanksgiving What you know What if you heard today, guys look before you lay Rick. I know you got a co that makes your nostrils sting in one of your eyes is not working. but if you could if you could if you could sit down and have a meeting today. he looked like you was la my Lis. if you could sit down and today, please before you leave I need you to meet with the Center of economic pololicy and research. Yeah U Rick, this is why. The relationship between a shorter work and long and lower emissions is complex and clearly understood. Right. But it is understandable that lowering levels of consumption holding everything else constant would reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Rott, the author of this study. He says some of the reduction can be attributed to fewer operating hours in factories and other workplaces that consume high levels of energy No don hear this. they're now saying, look if we want to keep from burning up, we got to work list. We got to cut that work hour. Now Rick get this. He says that this is the real this is the real bottom line in this that developing countries that have economies that are growing basically have two choices to follow. They can follow the European work schedule or the American work schedule. of little vacation and forty hour work weeks You're talking about the country that has accomplished more in a little over two hundred years than the rest of the world has ich mail precious. So what it'sing is look But if we want to survive, we're America's going to have to stop all this. I mean We We can't we can't get into this get after it work hard mentality. Let's all let's all fart around like our European neighbors and and cut down the work week and not be able to fire anybody and everybody gets eight weeks vacation here is the saying though. Look, we're all about vacation. get all you can get H hereere's the thing. let's just say let's just sayre earningest those. don't have it just all of us to be there morning year. Yeah If all of us knock off at lunch today. Okaykay What are you They're assuming that you're going to stop doing whatever you do at work, which for a lot of us would be sitting in a d Right and that we're going to somehow disappear into a vacuum and not use any resources or do anything If we get knocked off at lunch if we all knocked off at lunch today not got knocked off, but if we got if we knocked off at lunch We'd probably go. We'd probably go out and do something, right? We'd fire the car up and go ride around looking we would have trucks. Oome of my favorite hobbies go ride around looking Oh. How about this? We'd have our automobiles blazing. Absolutely. You know, if think we're gonna go home and sit in front of the black light on TV and watch three channels. I' Americans, baby, and I'm gonna get out here to party. I'm gonna get out of my truck with a hemmy engine by the way, what you know how green that is. I'm gonna get out of my very green hemy eng. You know I'm gonna do get ride on the floor with You know now I've got that fired up, might get a boat out R builduild a fire. Watch it burn. Yeah. You know what? I love. I'm going to shoot a gun. Yeah. We're going to go out. We're going to shoot guns. We're going ride things we We're going to hunt, We're going fish. Yep, burn style. We're going get out and play violet sports I mean, all of that stuff I mean, there's no telling what's no telling the politically incorrect things I might do if I have more free time. You know what? I don't know the internals of this study, but I'm doubting the outcome of it already because I think we use less power at work And they're talking about factories Heck, we ain't got that many factories anymore. We buying everything from China. They fact, Bubba what factor Bubba, how about this how open they're being about it? I don't know too many factories. Youice one or two around, but not a whole lot. I drove through the old Pittsburgh to the south Im my way's ain't a lot of smoke kicking out there. Greg, how about this? We need to embrace the more European way of things Th dastardly Americans and they're burning the earth up. I get this, Rick. He says with all their accomplishments. Once again, we need to feel guilty for being that gum number one He said there's a lot of controversy over this. Sould the developing world follow the American or European model The world was to follow a more European model of work We would expect fewer hours, less output and lower emissions of greenhouse gases. Hey, I'll tell you what else you can count you'll have less of. That's satellites so you can watch TV, technologyies for cell phones, planes that fly all over the place. Anything you really enjoy that quite frankly is worth the crap. Right. Well it's not for you All your medical pills, all your advancements and all of that, all of your cAT scans and this surgery surgy computer advancements, all your internet stuff, you can just chunk that out in the ocean with a European model too. Yeah. well now that when you mention the great medical accomplishments we've had in this country now, we're about to drop back and punt that Oh sobody nobody's going to worry about that much longer. Now, if you want to sit around all afternoon and drink wine and eat cheese then f That's right. Right, right. But I rather you earn your way to doing that and do it when you want to do it. Yeah, I kind of liked it better being in a country where they say every time This new rash of stapff infections changes its mutation that we me we come up with something to fight it. But when research and development stops, I look forward to the day that that we go from being a first world society in the medical field to dying of stapff infection. Hey, that's awesome. Yeah, and I don't care how many vitamins you take or deer spray. you ain't on cure I cannot wait to go backwards if more third world with our medical care. I know it. I love it I love.y how about this? whyyn't we just crapping in the streets too? Sure forget garbage, let the rats ball up. It worked good in Europe. You remember you realize how quickly You realize how quickly we had indoor plumbing ahead of everybody else. I mean, we were the leader in. Let's go back to crapping in the streets and sleeping in it. Yes. Well, Rick, I jar back out. Rick, again, I know. Let me take bed. Let me tell you somethingmer Let's go hang it over a mud hole. Let me tell you what the Americans perfected. and quite frankly, I think it's the root of all our success We knew how to dig whales and put in sepes. You know were that out when nobody else had a clue. You know, we're good at. We knew if you ran it in a in a big cement box somewhere, it would do away with itself. You don't hurt anybody. You know, we're good you know, we're number one in clean water and places to crap. That No you' one one. We are national worldwide Champions of the world. Yeah.. tryry to go the bathroom in other parts of the world. You you'll be real happy where we are. Oh, yeah. Hey, the great socialist democracies over there. If you got a quarter, you can go the bathroom. Look, I saw my wife's face. We got free public toilets here. Look. werere out in the middle of now nohere. Hey we're out in the middle of nowhere in Ethiopia. Oh gosh And I remember looking at my wife when she finally gotten the point. She said, I'm going to have to go to the restroom. And somebody pointed at some Godd forsaken Little cement. somethingomet up on a hill. It's called a lat trainine. And I was. And she looked at me and I said, honey, I've always loved you And if you don't make it back Mhm bless you Cope that bo in it Cope that board a hole in it don't bak. She said it today great do, baby, you're gone. I told her I said todayoday's a great todayoday's a great day, honey to have outdoor plumbing. It is. She said, you are correct. Yep. I said, I bet you wish you was a man just right now for a minute, don't you? Yeah? She said, Yes I do. Yes I do. Good luck in there See, I got to stand out there and just shoot it in there. You don't get to do that. Nope. You got to hover That's a much bigg I wish we were just muchull I wish we had a country just full of cars about the size that you put a loaf of bread in.

People kept asking us, how did you get You know, Trump on the show. I said he's been on the show two times. He've invited us up to the White House. This is not abnormal for him to be on. It's a great show and it's been a friendly show and I appreciate it. Unlike a lot of people, we're loyal. look We believe in loyalty mister President, we got a lot of topics you want to cover with you. a lot of questions that folks want to know First and foremost, Are you going to run again in twenty twenty four or will you be a rallyman and a Kingmaker behind the scene? That is the number one question we're getting from our listeners Well, maybe both. You know, we've end some great candidates and they seem to always win. Bo Brooks is one right now. He's doing fantastically well and he's a patriot And we have a lot of people that we endorse. And if you look at the record The record is pretty much almost, I say almost unblemished. And so that's important. and On the other because of the campaign laws, you're not allowed to really say But I think you're going to be very happy. You guys will be very happy. A lot of people are going to be very happy when they look at what's going on, it's olute disgrace what's happening right now in our country. Let's unpack that. So tens of thousands of people are coming to hear you at this at this rally and other rallies like it that have already happened and will take place. I mean people already on the grounds it doesn't even happen until tomorrow night. So there's truly a concern that Americans have that the country is is headed in the complete wrong direction. You've talked about it, but let's let's go let's get on the record here What was your plan for us leaving Afghanistan? Be you too wanted us to get our troops out I wanted to get out. twenty one years was enough is the way we got out withdraw Ours was going to be very simple. We get the civilians out, we get others out that need to be gotten out number one, number two is we get our billions of dollars worth of equipment out We don't leave it for these people, knowing they're probably going to be taken over as soon as we stop fighting So they'll probably be taken over and the Taliban would get it So number two is we take our equipment out, then we bomb the hell out of the basis And then last, but not least, comes out our military and everything's done. And it would be seamless. It was simple And a first grade student would know, you have to get your civilians out first. but I was keep I was keeping the military equipment But very importantly What they've done is absolute It's it's just gross incompetence. They take the military out. And now who knows what they're going to be able to get out? Who knows? because the Taliban has totally taken over. And we have maybe as many as forty five thousand people. They have forty five thousand hostages So it's the dumbest thing I've ever seen. You get your people it's like the captain of a ship jumping the ship before the people are off the boat. That's what we did crazy. Nobody. A first grade student would not do that. mister. President, given the current status of Afghanistan, where we are right now and it is a mess. It is a disaster If they call you in to fix it, what could be done How could we f? Well I had a relationship with a leader. You know, I get criticized by some of the radical left. Oh, he called them. Well, who are you going to call? you called the people you're against. And I had a very strong conversation with him then Abdul. And I said, look, here's the story. If you do anything to hurt Americans, anything that's out of line We're going to hit you at your town and we're going to hit you harder than anybody's ever been hit before And we got that out of the way. and I said, Do you understand that? And he said, Yes, I understand that And he did, he understood it. it would have been a whole Had the election not been rigged? This would have been, we would be in a whole different position right now. We have the strongest border And now it's the weakest border We had energy at a dollar eighty seven cents for a gallon of gasoline. Now it's going to be over five dollars I mean, it's so sad to see. And then you have The Afghanistan, it makes everything look I mean, nobody's ever seen anything like this stupidity It would have been a whole different story. All of this stuff. ourur economy is going to go to hell So many things are happening, inflation I mean, the inflation we have is now through the roof So you look at it and it's too bad and all because the election was rigged and it's a shame. And the people of Alabama know it better than anybody Well, there's no doubt, there's a huge passion for the way that you performed as president and certainly the state of Alabama is one of those pockets. There's many. So can you explain though? because I think we have to educate Why do we see the inflation we see now? Why do we see the gas prices we see now as opposed to when your administration was there? What did they undo that your administration did that gave us those things Well, I'd have to speak to you for about five hours, right. Well some of the basics stuff. Well first of all, there drilling. the border. I mean we had stay in Mexico. We had all these people coming out. They're emptying their prisons into our country. They're doing everything. And then I have I had this really powerful policy day in Mexico They ended that. They ended catching, you know, the catch and release that I ended. That's where you catch Even a prisoner, a convict, And you release him, you're supposed to release him into our country. I ended that. and it wasn't easy. I had to go through litigation for two years, but I got All of this stuff ended. manyany of the things I did, they want to put back or they have put back And we now have the most open pooreous border that we've ever had where criminals are coming into our country totally unchecked But if you look at the inflation It all starts with fuel prices
