| Let's talk about, I mean, the Pentagon loses, what was it, $220 billion? | |
| Yeah. You know, and now we're getting into a budget time and we're talking about some of those things. | |
| So I saw, you know, I think my father's right on this one. | |
| I'd love to hear your thoughts on it, but sort of the Republicans now kind of, we must get rid of Medicare and Social Security. | |
| I'm like, wait a minute. So the one entitlement that people actually pay into for their entire lives, A, you crush your own people. | |
| I'm like, you know, the Democrats are really good at crushing our people to give free stuff to their people. | |
| Like, we're crushing our own people who... | |
| Actually funded these things for their entire lives. | |
| Don't get me wrong. We won't touch Medicare or Social Security. | |
| No, listen. They just crafted an omnibus that I opposed. | |
| Two senators wrote who are no longer in office. | |
| They jammed us at Christmas for $1.7 trillion and told us we had to vote for it. | |
| The whole time Schumer's been leader has never written a budget. | |
| And now the president sits back and says, well, you need to just lift the debt limit and just do it with nothing. | |
| Well, no. If you have a child and they're charging up the credit card, you don't just keep raising the limit. | |
| You look at where you're spending. | |
| Every household has to do this. | |
| So I'm simply saying, look, let's be responsible. | |
| Let's be reasonable. Let's be sensible. | |
| But let's sit down. | |
| And you're going to tell me out of these trillions of dollars, because this is what has happened. | |
| When the Democrats took over, just those four years, their discretionary spending has gone up 30%. | |
| $400 billion. | |
| You're going to tell me there's no waste out there? | |
| There's no efficiency? They just print a trillion dollars. | |
| I mean, do they have any concept of what that does? | |
| That's how we got inflation. | |
| Again, if I'm the guy that's a little upset when I'm filling up my tank or when I go to buy eggs, if it bothers me, it probably doesn't change much my day to day. | |
| Imagine what it's doing to a real family and they don't understand that concept or don't even think about it, which is scary. | |
| With the price of gas, who's it hurting? | |
| The working class. It has to drive to get to their jobs. | |
| The eggs. Eggs are unbelievable, the price today. | |
| But it doesn't stop us from sending billions of dollars to countries that hate our guts. | |
| They're sending millions to Tunisia for their ability for more tourism. | |
| Really? We're borrowing this money from China to send it someplace else? | |
| Well, that's the other... I mean, we actually give aid to China who we borrow from and owns and steals from us and costs us probably trillions in IP that they're stealing. | |
| But see, this is what I loved when your father came into power. | |
| They had never had somebody in the office of the president that had a business mind. | |
| I remember they're sitting there and, you know, Korea saying, oh, we need these new missiles or Saudi Arabia to defend. | |
| He goes, okay, but you've got to pay for them. | |
| What? What? We gotta pay for them? | |
| We thought the American taxpayer. | |
| No, no, no, no. I remember having some of these conversations with him and he's like, well, have we ever asked for them to pay? | |
| No one ever thought. And they're like, no, we never thought to do it, so ask. | |
| And they're like, okay, we'll pay for it. | |
| And I'm like, wait a minute, that just happened? | |
| They didn't even think about it? | |
| I remember we were up at Camp David. | |
| We're having a meeting in the Situation Room. | |
| Your father gets up to use the restroom. | |
| And so one of the generals there, we're having a discussion, and he goes, he's not in the room, so I have to ask. | |
| Why do we do it this way? | |
| You know, no one had ever done that. | |
| And the uniqueness, too, is I read this article, like, Boeing's really upset because they're losing all this money on the new Air Force One. | |
| Why? Because they negotiated with President Trump. | |
| You know who wins? |
