The Velvet Hammervel
is with us this morning. Jean Valentino
live from Pensacola, Florida. Good
morning.
Always good to be with my two buddies in
the Pine Belt.
Absolutely. We’re always happy to have
you as we normally do on Fridays. And of
course, you know, Jean, there is no
shortage of things to talk about. You
know, uh I mean, goodness, where do we
start? Well, yesterday the president did
say that uh he was nominating a guy
named Kevin, what is it? Walsh,
for WH.
Yeah, good guy
for the Fed chair. What do you think
about him?
Well, I like him. He comes with um some
very he’s talking about regime change of
his own which fell nicely on Donald
Trump’s ears. Um he wants to see the
federal policy very much in keeping with
Donald Trump. These were comments made
by Worsh not only when he was on the
Federal Reserve but before and after he
was a on the Federal Reserve. Um he uh
he’s he realizes that the Federal
Reserve
interest rate policy formation
is but a single element in an overall
economy. And while the board controls
it, uh they they cannot manipulate bad
behavior and affect an economy that um
uh that has so many other dynamics in
place. you want to hold interest rates
higher, it’s usually because other
factors are not in place. In the case of
today under the Trump administration,
there are enough incentives out there
now that will force uh interest income
to increase through the uh diversity the
the multiplicity of business
opportunities that are now out there.
For example,
seemingly unrelated but just as
important, Trump accounts. As of this
morning, over 1 million Americans have
applied for children for the Trump
account program. Uh, a program where a
politician cannot raid or touch the
money like they could with other
agencies and departments, including
Social Security. No. No. Uh the
politician can’t touch these Trump
accounts. Um uh and and and the and the
Congress can’t borrow against it either.
That’s what’s key. It’s purely your
money. Now, if you’re of a certain age,
they throw you a,000 bucks, but then the
family can contribute. I think it’s up
to $5,000 more per year in the uh
funding of these accounts. They take on
a look and feel very much like an IRA.
And as a result, you you have an
compound effect of money on a tax-free
basis that gets you a full income uh a
full allocation, I say, to be uh able to
fund four years of college when your
child uh uh is of age to go. So, I I’m
really excited about it. They’ve also
put some wiggle room into this program.
uh that allows the beneficiary, the
child, which is now an adult presumably
at 18 or after to be able to borrow a
portion of that money as the down
payment on their next home. These are
economic factors I re mentioned a minute
ago in the context of um Kevin Worsh
where there’s more creativity and
flexibility in the uh in government’s
attitude to allow individuals to take
back control of that which is theirs
starting with their money.
Yeah. You know, I I was listening to
somebody talk uh uh the I think it was
yesterday that if you put uh it was a
small amount. It was if you got the
thousand in and you put another I want
to say like $1,000 a year until that
child turned 18 that by the time they
were retirement age, we’re talking about
a million bucks. I mean, this is this is
something that could be really great for
the next generation of Americans. So my
my suggestion is that if you have a
child or a grandchild that that was that
is born over the last year or so, go
ahead and open one of these accounts and
get that free thousand bucks. That
thousand bucks turns into a large sum of
money if you don’t even put anything
else in it until they are retirement
age.
Yeah, I got some notes here, Michael. Uh
the account is uh paid for by the United
States government up to a thousand
bucks. The uh invested in select stocks
and ETF ETFs. It’s a tax-free growth
until uh uh the child is of age,
basically 18 years of age. Parents can
contribute up to $5,000 annually.
Employers can contribute up to $2,000,
$2,500
annually. So, you’ve got yourself a
little bank here that’s building on a
tax-free basis. And by the time you’re
of age, you’ve got yourself a little a
little uh nest egg that um can help go
towards some of these expenses you’ve
worked so hard for. and and many kids,
you know, wondering how their Burger
King salary or their, you know, their
their Denny’s salary is going to ever be
able to help them afford to pay for
college.
I wonder if this in the back of
President Trump’s mind if this is not
something that could be modified over
the years to turn it into a retirement
account and do away with social
security. What what do you think?
Well, there is a provision that allows
it to roll into a true um retirement
account. And if you leave it alone like
you do your other retirement until age
60, you’re talking $2,27,000.
If you can’t live off that, there’s
something wrong with you.
That’s exactly right. So, so this is a
great program by a man that understands
finances and how money grows compound
interest over over the years. And so,
you know, this is a this it’s
phenomenal. I mean, it’s something
that’s so simple but yet so powerful for
a lot of people for the next generation.
We’re looking out instead of putting our
generations uh be below us in debt with
federal government, you know, borrowing.
We’re looking at putting them on the
positive side. And I think this is a
wonderful thing.
And now, time out. Back to my perverse
deep perverse deep state thinking. Why
haven’t we done that up to now?
might it be that there’s a force in this
nation that’s intentionally trying to
prevent um the have nots from having
isn’t there a feeling that the deep
state might be keeping you poor so that
they can remain advantaged.
Is that not what what we’re seeing going
on in the protests and fights in
Minneapolis?
Now there’s no problem. Now, I’m not
really switching gears on you, but but
deep state money funding these activist
groups to to fight uh ICE enforcement.
Look, we’ve gone too far. No one’s
denying you the right to speak and
protest and exercise your your
individual power of expression. But when
you start intimidating, when you start
getting in the face of law enforcement
agents who are only trying to get the
bad millions of people out of this
country that Biden illegally allowed to
come in here in the first place,
it tells me there’s a deep state action
underway as seen by this uh Ellison, Tim
Waltz, and Jacob Fry in Minnesota. What
a mess, Michael, that they would deny.
Now, now here this morning’s rumor is
Tom Hman, who supposedly came in after
Christy Gnome to settle the settle the
calm the waters, if you will, finds
himself in the quandry. He may have
walked out of that meeting yesterday or
the day before with Attorney General
Keith Ellison, thinking that Ellison was
going to cooperate with the the the
criminals coming out of the prisons and
giving him back to ICE so ICE could get
him the heck out of the country. That’s
the impression that Tom Hman had because
that’s what he gave us on the news
yesterday. However, this morning, Keith
Ellison, the attorney general, is is
backpedaling and saying, “I never said
that to Tom H. Homeman. He’s crazy. I
never told him that. That’s what I
agreed to.” Well, what do you think ICE
was in the streets for? To grab these
illegals and to get them out of the
country because our own operating
government wouldn’t do so. And last
night, Senator Lindsey Graham from the
Carolinas announces that today he’s
putting on the Senate floor as soon as
they get through this um this shutdown
issue. Um uh legislation
that penalizes, this is what you and I
talked about. He’s putting legislation
in place to incarcerate, to make it a
crime for these elected officials
to deny the separation of powers clause
that allows the federal government to
come in and that that if the state and
local governments don’t cooperate with
the feds and removing these bad
illegals, then the elected officials at
the state and local levels themselves go
to jail.
And that couldn’t be that is music to my
ears. We have a lot of um local
politicians and state politicians with
an overstated sense of self-worth
thinking their governance of what
they’ve been elected to supersedes the
federal constitution of this nation.
Yeah. Uh you know, it’s true. And you
know, it it’s still illegal to harbor an
alien in in the United States, but it’s
not exactly designed to uh incarcerate
or arrest or charge the elected
officials who make the decision not to
allow
It’s gray. It You’re right. It’s gray
because the illegal action of harboring
um a felon or protecting a wrongdoer
from law from the law was never
interpreted to mean that it applied to
elected officials who were doing it.
Now, here’s exactly why I keep referring
to constitutional amendments. Because
when these bad elected officials come
and go, you need a law that remains on
the books that’s not ambiguous.
You need a constitutional amendment that
survives long after you and I are gone
to put these you know whatsed
people in jail next to the very people
they’re trying to protect.
Yeah, 100% I agree with you. You know,
and and so basically he’s right. Lindsey
Graham. I don’t trust Lindsey Graham a
lot of times. I’m not sure where he’s
coming from in in some uh in some cases,
but he’s right about this. We need to
have a mechanism where we can actually
remove these people from office that are
uh harboring illegals and not allowing
the federal government to do their job,
which by the way, the Supreme Court has
made very clear. In fact, it was the
Obama administration, I believe, that
sued Arizona and got a Supreme Court
decision that said, “Hey, this is
exclusively
the business of the United States
government to remove illegals from this
country. You can’t do it.” And so,
and you Yeah, you just you just pointed
out that the precedent is already
already there and it’s being ignored.
And therein that’s what’s more
infuriating. Even though I still think
constitutional amendments are needed to
u punish the wrongdoers and government
themselves and the bad actors, uh it’s
nonetheless in place already through
precedent and and um I think there’s
going to be a price to pay. It’s about
as strange to me as snow ending up in
Myrtle Beach this weekend and 9 degree
temperatures in Myrtle Beach. I I don’t
know. It’s Everything’s a little upside
down these days.
Well, thanks for joining us. We are out
of time if you can believe it. It went
by very fast. Thank you so much, Jean,
for joining us as you normally.
No way. Let’s keep going another hour.
I wish we could.
All right. Thanks. Love you all, buddy.
