Griff Jenkins joins us now. Griff, I can't believe how many practical measures they're speculating they're putting in place and thinking about putting in place that legitimately can affect people's lives. Yeah, and listen, you know, we talked a little bit about this on Fox of Friends this morning, and I'm going to say it again here. I really think that one of the things that has so distinguished President Trump were the giant rallies was the fact that he was constantly out in America, where people are actually impacted, not in New York City, not in New York. In Washington, D.C., but in towns across the country talking about the issues that matter.
And for guys like you and I, Brian, you know, we were in our early 30s when we bought our first home and barely could do it, and scrambling to figure out how to make it happen. And then now, by now, we've gotten older, and you know, that's been a benefit to us. And any really person back in the you know, 80s and 90s were able to buy that house. That doesn't exist now for the young 25, 30-year-olds. One of the reasons was a little bit.
In the 90s, about the bad, you know, about the bad loans. Hey, you don't have the income eligibility yet, so we'll give you an adjustable loan. You don't have to put as much money down, and it all blew up. We didn't even, and then they would give you the mortgage and then sell it to another bank, and then when everything fell apart. You could find out, we couldn't even find the loans.
Like what bank actually had your loan? Right.
So sometimes, no, think in retrospect, sometimes we got those mortgages and we shouldn't have. Right.
Right.
So now we've really buckled down, and people are saying, wait a second, no one's selling their homes in their 40s and 50s because the interest rate was so great.
Now it's at six, it was at three.
So that's why I love the idea we discussed yesterday about portability. Take your 3%, 3.5% mortgage to that bigger house. I don't know how the banks liked it, but if the president met with all those banking CEOs the night before, don't you think he came up with Jamie Dimon and company? Oh, you bet it did. And again, you know, owning your home is the cornerstone of the American dream as we talk about it.
I've given President Trump the name for his nationwide tour, should be bringing the American Dream Back and talk about the affordability. I'll tell you another thing that was mentioned that would make a lot of sense, and that is right now you cannot take out more than $10,000 out of your 401k. But if you are someone that had been trying to buy without a penalty and who wants to pay, you know, 40% Cap Cane's tax on taking money out of your 401k, it just makes no sense. It's financially a terrible idea. But if you could increase that to say, 30, maybe 40,000 that you could take out of your 401k.
There are, I think, probably in this country, and I'd love to know the number, a large number of 35,000, 36, 37-year-olds that have since gotten married. They probably even have their first or even second child that have been deferred because of the conditions during the Biden administration. They couldn't buy a house, they're paying rent. That could help them right now. It could help them tomorrow to change the trajectory of their household's economy.
So here's E.J. Antoni. He's writing for The Economist. This is what he said: Gen Z is facing now, where I think the number is 3% of Gen Zers have their own home. Wow, cut five.
And I think if we look at, for example, the financial habits of Gen Z and we compare that to millennials. Gen Z is actually much more conservative financially speaking. And yet the affordability for them is terrible when it comes to something like buying a home.
So while you might find individuals in literally every generation who are not financially very responsible, right, I don't think we can paint a broad brush with Gen Z and say that somehow it's their fault. I think this is a systematic failure. System and just the situation you find yourselves in right now, there's a lot of very few houses for sale proportionally in the country.
So, if you have a short supply, obviously the homeowner wants to get maximum for their house. People are paying over the price everywhere on Long Island that I know. Part of it is people want to move out of the city, and everybody wants to go outside New York City. Or if you're listening in Chicago or Philadelphia, of course, you want to be in the suburbs if you can.
Well, and it's a supply and demand thing, and you're right. I mean, as Mayor Mom Dunny comes in, you may see even more people want to get out of New York City for the obvious reasons. But what's interesting is that in the interview with Sean, Vice President Vance was talking about the fact that you can't forget we've got 10 million plus illegal aliens across the border. Many of them were given opportunities in this country, and you know what they did? They're smart, they're conservative, they bought a house, and so the supply was even impacted by the border crisis.
I know those on the left have really downplayed that, but that's an actual factor. You look at the big picture, you got a supply and demand problem. You've got people that shouldn't have been here in the first place that got these homes.
So this is what they're here's what President Trump told Laura this week on this cut one. This is the greatest economy we've ever had. They're talking points, oh corsair high, corsair high. By the way, the only thing is beef. Beef is a little high because the ranchers are doing great.
Coffee. Coffee, we're going to lower some tariffs. We're going to have some coffee come in. We're going to take care of all this stuff very quickly, very easily. It's surgical.
It's beautiful to watch. But our costs are way lower.
So that's what the Treasury Secretary said. He said we're going to look to lower tariffs on Guatemala, El Salvador, Ecuador, Argentina. He's back and forth on Brazil because of the political situation there. But all those people have all those countries have items that we want here, but the tariffs Are jacking up the price. They're putting it on the consumer.
Some companies didn't, but these countries are, and I guess the grocery stores are reflecting that. But is this on some levels showing the President and the Treasury Secretary giving in and kind of acknowledging that tariffs do up the price on the consumer?
Well, to a certain extent, but on the flip side, Brian, I think it's also the fact that this administration, President Trump, Vance, Besson, others, are realizing, hey, Mom Donnie won, because he's out there talking about affordability and people wanted to hear it. The administration has got to do a better job in messaging about the things that have gone down because of the inflation under the Biden years that has extended. But look, at the end of the day, they're saying, hey, eggs, gas, energy, those are going down. We'll see what happens with the coffee tariff. I mean, you know, by the way, can we just be honest?
When I hear about high prices of coffee, I have no idea. How a tariff is or isn't going to impact the fact that I'm going to buy a PSL pumpkin spice latte at Starbucks, and that just keeps getting more and more expensive. Can I just say this? Since when do you abbreviate? Uh, pumpkin spice latte.
PSL, yeah. Really? Yeah, you just walk into Starbucks, like, hey, PSL, grab that. Yeah, well, put it this way: I got this thing where I ordered uh a pecan latte. I don't think pecans were seasonal.
So I show up, I did it on the app, which I rarely do. And I see my cup there, and And it's empty.
So what do you think that means? What would that mean to you? That they don't have pecans. You would know that right away?
So I'm just saying to myself, I'm going to wait it. I'm waiting out. I wait another 10 minutes before I go, excuse me, are you going to put anything in this cup? And they go, oh, yeah, you're the guy. We don't make that.
I'm like, why isn't that? You're the guy. Yeah, you're the guy. Yeah, we can't make that. Do you just leave it empty?
I mean, you can't just can somebody even acknowledge that I've been here because they put your name on the board now. Yeah, they put your name. We're working on it. We're done with it. My name's on, we're working on it.
You know, I feel bad with the other people because it seems like I'm the only one they're working on. Just get no production. Just give the pecan guy an oat milk vanilla. He won't know the difference. Right.
I mean, but I just understand why some places decide to season things out and others don't.
Well, I think, you know, Starbucks really is the reason why we started doing it because everybody was like, October, here we go, the pumpkin. And then they wanted to branch it out to different.

I want to talk about 2028.
So I thought that. J.D. Vance, the one thing the president does not want, I know he's never experienced this before, he's been the number one guy, but after the midterms, we're going to be talking about 2028. And that president that's term limited out often doesn't get the spotlight. J.D.
Vance, so smart. This is what he says his strategy is going to be when it comes to politics. And he's not going to focus on anything yet. CUT 15. Here's why the presidential focus, the 2028 focus, I think is bad, is because if you wake up in my job or anybody else's job asking yourself, what's good for my future a few years down the road, you're not going to do a good job right now.
The question that I try to ask myself is, what is good for the president, the administration, and the American people right now? That's what I have to be focused on. And I think so long as I do that, again, politics will take care of itself.
So he says he's going to meet with the President after 2028 and say, these are my plans. How do we work together? And that's the key. From what I what do you know the president the last thing he wants is to be old news And the last thing he wants is not be a part of this process. And if he could say that's my guy, he's checking with me all the time.
The other thing is, J.D. Vance plays a valuable role in that administration. He really does. And the president wants him in on everything.
So if he's all of a sudden out campaigning, That's a loss to the administration. And especially, I could see the president getting frustrated with that if he doesn't do it the right way. And you don't want him going, you know, maybe JD isn't the right choice. Yeah, what a great concern. By the way, talking about Vance's importance to the administration, the contrast between Vance and Kamala Harris, the borders are, given thankless tasks that were never going to succeed.
And you had to. But I don't think the borders are as thankless, do you? That was an opportunity. If you're the vice president, you welcome the opportunity to get a signature issue. But they didn't let her do anything on the border because Majorkis was given the direct orders from the White House to basically open the damn thing up.
And they said, we'll send you down to the Northern Triangle, to Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua. And you can talk about root causes. She was destined to fail. But compare that to the case.
So do you think that's the scenario? You think that she was going to do something that Majorkis had more control and she didn't, then she decided differently? There have been a number of nuggets of reporting coming out that while, you know, Harris. Harris was pretty open about feeling undermined and complaining about the way the Oval Office and the White House staff were not supporting her and setting her up for success, rather, setting her up directly for failure. But there's been a number of nuggets reporting that really Majorkis had way more control than Harris, and that's why she was trying to distance herself from the Border Czar title to begin with because she knew she wasn't given.
I give it, if that is the case, I give her a little bit more credit now. I thought she just was an o-show, didn't want the job. She says it's like you said, thankless. And Majorkis, by the way, if you're the Border Czar, you look at Tom Holman, how much power he has. If you're the vice president of Border Czar, you come in there and tell Maorkis, this is the back of my baseball card.
What are you doing? You know, what's going on? Why are you look at these, look at the NGOs? This thing is overflowing. Look at the flood of people under that bridge.
You're making me look terrible. But that's what I would do because Joe Biden's clearly not working more than four hours a day. This is what I'm going to get judged on this. I'm going to sit down with 60 minutes and have to justify this. Forget it.
I got to tell you, Brian, in the wake of President Trump coming in without a Senate immigration bill, by the way, which is what all the Democrats and previous administrations said, we needed to shut the border down. Can't do it. President Biden said, I can't do anything more. It's got to be Congress. Wasn't the case.
Obviously, we saw the president shut the border down. We've had six straight months of zero releases in the country when it was hundreds of thousands every month under the Biden administration. But the number one comment when people see me in the airport and stop me is they say, hey, you know, I appreciate, love the weekends now. Congratulations. But by the way, you're reporting at the border.
I got to ask you, was it intentional? And it is hard to come up with a and I don't know, but it's hard to come up with any other conclusion than in some ways it was it was intentional because we now know they literally could have done it with executive order. And it all goes back to what did Biden know? Because as a senator, he wasn't pro-open borders. No.
And he didn't get elected to open up the border. Whose idea was that? Griff, thanks so much. Who's coming on this weekend? We got, speaking of the border, we've got Border Patrol Chief Mike Banks.
He hadn't been out there much. He's going to be out there now. And we're about to see CBP heading to Charlotte, North Carolina. We've got Laura Trump. We've got Kaylee McAnani.
And we've got biohacker Brian Johnson. That's going to be interesting. Oh, yeah. He's trying to make us all live longer. Griff Jenkins, great job today.
