I 4 00:00:11,199 --> 00:00:13,800 need to hear from you and share with your friends 5 00:00:14,039 --> 00:00:17,640 because the chaos it's not stopping. And you know, I 6 00:00:17,679 --> 00:00:20,239 want to get a little personal for a second. Literally 7 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,640 since we started this show seven months ago, which is 8 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,359 parroting what I have been saying for I don't know, 9 00:00:26,559 --> 00:00:31,280 almost six years now, but more specifically two years since 10 00:00:31,359 --> 00:00:36,920 Trump became the nominee, the Republican nominee. And I really 11 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,960 truly hate to do this to you, but I have to. 12 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:42,479 And what was it that I want to tell you? 13 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:47,159 I told you so. I have said this on basically 14 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:51,439 every television station, to every single newspaper, and billions of 15 00:00:51,679 --> 00:00:55,280 times I have spoken and have been repeated. I told 16 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,799 you so. I told you what was going to happen. 17 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,280 And I've been criticized, I had been made fun of, mocked, 18 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:06,200 I've received all sorts of nasty adjectives describing me. But 19 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:10,680 I've been right. I've been right all along. I mean, 20 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,640 I told you that Trump was going to fill his 21 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,519 administration with loyalists, I told you, and that they were 22 00:01:17,519 --> 00:01:21,519 going to do exactly what he said every single day. 23 00:01:21,599 --> 00:01:23,920 That's all they're going to do is follow his lead, 24 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,519 fill the administration with loyalists, and that our country would 25 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,680 be thrown into chaos. Well, if you're not thinking that 26 00:01:33,799 --> 00:01:37,760 this country is right now in chaos, maybe this isn't 27 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,200 the right show for you. But if it is, again 28 00:01:40,439 --> 00:01:44,480 hit subscribe and share with your friends. I mean, just 29 00:01:44,519 --> 00:01:47,840 think about the past two weeks alone had been nothing 30 00:01:47,879 --> 00:01:50,640 but chaos. You go to bed to chaos, you wake 31 00:01:50,719 --> 00:01:56,400 up there's more chaos. Trump's threats, for example, the most 32 00:01:56,439 --> 00:02:01,840 recent one tariffs. And let me be very clear about this. 33 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:08,639 Trump's belief in tariffs. They are real. Even though after 34 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,840 allegedly having you know, his press secretarian, all of the 35 00:02:13,879 --> 00:02:17,039 folks on the inside turned in saying that he is 36 00:02:17,199 --> 00:02:22,159 implementing tariffs on Canada twenty five percent, on Mexico twenty 37 00:02:22,199 --> 00:02:26,680 five percent, and then on China ten percent. He just 38 00:02:26,719 --> 00:02:30,800 got off the phone moments ago after speaking with President 39 00:02:30,879 --> 00:02:35,199 Shinebaum of Mexico, and you know what he did. He 40 00:02:35,479 --> 00:02:41,039 paused Mexico's tariffs for a month. Now here's what Trump 41 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:45,080 posted on truth Social He turns around and he says, 42 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,639 I just spoke with President Claudius Shinbaum of Mexico. It 43 00:02:49,719 --> 00:02:54,319 was a very friendly conversation, wherein she agreed to immediately 44 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:59,120 supply ten thousand Mexican soldiers on the border separating Mexico 45 00:02:59,159 --> 00:03:04,199 in the United States. These soldiers will be specifically designated 46 00:03:04,479 --> 00:03:08,360 to stop the flow of fentinyl and illegal migrants into 47 00:03:08,439 --> 00:03:13,680 our country. We further agreed to immediately pause the anticipated 48 00:03:13,719 --> 00:03:17,159 tariffs for a one month period, during which we will 49 00:03:17,159 --> 00:03:22,639 have negotiations headed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary 50 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:27,080 of Treasury Scott Descent, and Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnik, 51 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,360 and high level representatives of Mexico. I look forward to 52 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:36,520 participating in those negotiations with President Shinebound as we attempt 53 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:42,479 to achieve a deal between our two countries. Well, let 54 00:03:42,479 --> 00:03:46,360 me go on further to say that Trump is supposed 55 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,960 to speak with Prime Minister Trudeau later today, but as 56 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,960 of this moment, right now, the twenty five percent tariffs 57 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:58,560 against Canada that are supposed to start tonight are still 58 00:03:58,599 --> 00:04:05,439 starting now. Prime Minister Trudeau said that Canada will retaliate 59 00:04:05,759 --> 00:04:10,919 with twenty five percent tariffs on approximately twenty billion dollars 60 00:04:10,919 --> 00:04:16,399 worth of US goods on Tuesday, and further eighty five 61 00:04:16,519 --> 00:04:20,000 billion more within three weeks. Now, let me be very 62 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,800 clear about something. Tariffs go two ways, and you've heard 63 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,959 me say it before. Who's going to end up paying 64 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:34,360 Who's going to end up suffering? You and me and 65 00:04:34,399 --> 00:04:37,879 all of the non megabillionaires. Let me show you what 66 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,439 Trudeau had to say. Play the clip. 67 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 2: I think Canadians are a little perplexed as to why 68 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,319 our closest friends and neighbors are choosing to target us 69 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,920 instead of so many other challenging parts of the world. 70 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:55,920 I don't think there's a lot of Americans who wake 71 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,399 up in the morning saying, oh, damn Canada, Oh we 72 00:04:59,439 --> 00:05:01,720 should really go after Canada. 73 00:05:02,079 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: Well, I know I don't. Half my family lives in Toronto, 74 00:05:05,759 --> 00:05:08,800 so you know I'm not looking to go after them, 75 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,639 Nor am I looking for it to hit me in 76 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:15,839 the pocketbook. Last night, Trump posted this rant on truth 77 00:05:15,959 --> 00:05:20,680 social He turns around and he writes, the tariff lobby, 78 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,079 headed by the globalist and always wrong Wall Street Journal 79 00:05:25,519 --> 00:05:30,000 is working hard to justify countries like Canada, Mexico, China, 80 00:05:30,199 --> 00:05:34,120 and too many others to name. Continue the decades long 81 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:39,720 ripoff of America, both with regard to trade crime and 82 00:05:39,959 --> 00:05:44,839 poisonous drugs that are allowed to so freely flow into America. 83 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,959 Those days are over, thank you Donald. The USA has 84 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:53,240 major deficits with Canada, Mexico, and China and almost all countries. 85 00:05:53,519 --> 00:05:57,079 Oh thirty six trillion dollars. Yeah, in part because of 86 00:05:57,319 --> 00:05:59,959 the COVID pandemic that was I think eight trillion of year. 87 00:06:00,519 --> 00:06:03,839 And we're not going to be the stupid country any longer. 88 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,879 Make your product in the USA and there are no tariffs. 89 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,079 Why should the United States lose trillions of dollars in 90 00:06:11,199 --> 00:06:15,120 subsidizing other countries, and why should these other countries pay 91 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:19,040 a small fraction of the costs of what USA citizens 92 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:23,920 pay for drugs and pharmaceuticals as an example. This will 93 00:06:23,959 --> 00:06:29,199 be the golden age of America. Will there be some pain, yes, maybe, 94 00:06:29,519 --> 00:06:32,920 and maybe not. Well, that certainly answers my question. But 95 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,560 we will make America great again, oh, thank God, thank God. 96 00:06:37,759 --> 00:06:40,480 And it will all be worth the price that must 97 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,319 be paid. We are a country that is now being 98 00:06:43,399 --> 00:06:47,879 run with common sense and the results will be spectacular. 99 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:53,079 Now I'm not even sure where to start or where 100 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:57,439 to end with that post, and while speaking to the 101 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:02,240 press at Joint based Andrews Trump's said that Americans, well, 102 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,959 they're gonna feel a little bit of pain. Play the clip. 103 00:07:06,319 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 3: No, no, I'm not gonna send We may have short 104 00:07:09,319 --> 00:07:13,120 term some a little pain and people understand that, but 105 00:07:13,279 --> 00:07:17,079 long term, the United States has been ripped off by 106 00:07:17,199 --> 00:07:19,959 virtually every country in the world. We have deficits with 107 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:24,000 almost every country, not every country, but almost, and we're 108 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:24,800 gonna change it. 109 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 4: It's been unfair. 110 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 3: That's why we owe thirty six trillion dollars. We have 111 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,839 deficits with everybody. We help everybody. We've been helping everybody 112 00:07:32,879 --> 00:07:35,120 for years, and to be honest, I don't think they 113 00:07:35,199 --> 00:07:38,560 appreciate it. So we're gonna change that. We're gonna change 114 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:39,000 it fast. 115 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,519 Speaker 4: We're gonna make America great again. 116 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,639 Speaker 3: We have to focus on our country. We have tremendous 117 00:07:43,639 --> 00:07:47,000 potential if properly used that we have to focus on 118 00:07:47,079 --> 00:07:52,480 our country. Tremendous deficits with China, tremendous deficits with the 119 00:07:52,639 --> 00:07:57,800 European Union, tremendous deficits with Mexico and Canada. 120 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,959 Speaker 1: And I feel so much more patriotic now as I 121 00:08:03,079 --> 00:08:07,000 watched Trump, who's, by the way, wearing a tie manufactured 122 00:08:07,079 --> 00:08:10,839 in China. I also want to show you, for example, 123 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,639 something that if I heard one more time, I was 124 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,360 going to lose my own shit about the price of eggs. 125 00:08:18,399 --> 00:08:22,160 Here's a screenshot from CNN about egg prices to day, 126 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,519 egg price is likely to hit record highs in twenty 127 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,560 twenty five. What what? What about all the people who 128 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,799 voted for Trump because of the price of eggs, gasoline, 129 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,320 and groceries. Right, And he also then goes on to 130 00:08:37,399 --> 00:08:41,879 say that Canada has been abusive to the United States. 131 00:08:42,639 --> 00:08:45,480 Doesn't tell you how, but they're abusing us. 132 00:08:45,879 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 3: Play that clip, Well, Canada has been very abusive of 133 00:08:49,399 --> 00:08:53,279 the United States for many years. They don't allow our banks. 134 00:08:53,279 --> 00:08:56,399 And you know that Canada does not allow banks to 135 00:08:56,519 --> 00:08:58,759 go in. If you think about it, that's pretty amazing. 136 00:08:58,879 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 4: If we have a US. 137 00:08:59,799 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 3: Bank, they don't allow them to go in. Canada has 138 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,240 been very tough on oil and energy. They don't allow 139 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:10,120 our farm products in. Essentially, they don't allow a lot 140 00:09:10,159 --> 00:09:11,919 of things in, and we allow. 141 00:09:11,639 --> 00:09:13,799 Speaker 4: Everything to come. And it's been a one way street. 142 00:09:14,519 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 3: We subsidize Canada by the tune of about two hundred 143 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,279 billion dollars a year and for what what do we 144 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:21,840 get out of it? 145 00:09:21,919 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 4: We don't get anything out of it. 146 00:09:23,159 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 3: I love the people of Canada. I disagree with the 147 00:09:25,919 --> 00:09:30,519 leadership of Canada and something's going to happen there. 148 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 4: But if they wanted to play the game, I don't mind. 149 00:09:33,799 --> 00:09:35,279 We can play the game all they want. 150 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,919 Speaker 3: Mexico, We've had very good talks with them, and this 151 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:44,120 is retaliatory. This is retaliatory to a certain extent. 152 00:09:44,279 --> 00:09:48,879 Speaker 1: No, it is retaliatory, but it's retaliatory on what what 153 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:55,240 the sick of fans in your inner orbit are directing you. 154 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,240 He also goes on to say that they owe us 155 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,000 a lot of money. Play that clip. 156 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 3: I'm speaking with Prime Minister Dreudeau tomorrow morning, and I've 157 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:09,639 also speaking with Mexico tomorrow morning, and I. 158 00:10:09,519 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 4: Don't expect anything very dramatic. And we put tariffs on. 159 00:10:14,159 --> 00:10:16,480 They owe us a lot of money, and I'm here 160 00:10:16,519 --> 00:10:17,159 they're gonna. 161 00:10:16,919 --> 00:10:23,279 Speaker 1: Pay, okay. He's also asked what the countries actually need 162 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,960 to do to stop the tariffs? Right, isn't that something 163 00:10:27,039 --> 00:10:30,080 that we should already know before the present? You see, 164 00:10:30,279 --> 00:10:35,120 the president doesn't own the country, despite what his inner 165 00:10:35,159 --> 00:10:39,080 group thinks he's the president he works for the people 166 00:10:39,639 --> 00:10:44,279 of America, right, he is the CEO of our company, 167 00:10:44,519 --> 00:10:47,559 the United States of America. Don't you think we should 168 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,960 already know what he wants on behalf of us, the 169 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,080 American people, to stop this tariff despite the fact that 170 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,639 twenty seven of the twenty nine top economists in this 171 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,799 country have said it is going to hurt Americans, that 172 00:11:03,919 --> 00:11:08,440 it is going to create an unnecessary trade war. Play 173 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,679 that clip, President, whatever its. 174 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 4: Deck to go he can do for you to er carry. 175 00:11:15,919 --> 00:11:17,799 Speaker 1: What aren't specific with w that. 176 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 4: Have to balance out there? Drede Number one, that we've. 177 00:11:21,039 --> 00:11:23,559 Speaker 3: Got to stop people from boring into our country, and 178 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:24,320 we've stopped it. 179 00:11:24,399 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 4: They haven't stopped it. We've stopped it. They have to 180 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,559 stop people for boring in. And we have to. 181 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 3: Stop Ventanola that includes China, Ventanohaskill. 182 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 4: This year at least two one hundred thousand people. 183 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,519 Speaker 3: It's boring in from China through Mexico and Canada, and 184 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,759 they've got to stop it. And if they don't stop it, 185 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:45,639 the tariffs are gonna get worse. 186 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 4: A lot of works not going to stop boring it. 187 00:11:48,399 --> 00:11:50,679 Speaker 1: By the way, none of that makes any sense at all. 188 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,039 So if we've stopped boring of migrants coming in thanks 189 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:58,120 to Tom Homan into ice and so on, and we've stopped it, 190 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:02,519 so what's the issue? Then what's the point then, as 191 00:12:02,519 --> 00:12:06,639 an example, to have ten thousand troops in Mexico stand 192 00:12:06,639 --> 00:12:07,360 by the border. 193 00:12:08,519 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 4: Now. 194 00:12:08,759 --> 00:12:11,759 Speaker 1: Fox News then put up a list. Fox News put 195 00:12:11,879 --> 00:12:14,799 up a list of the goods that are going to 196 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:21,679 be affected by the tariffs, which, by the way, it's everything, show. 197 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 5: It, it's alike. And thank god for Doge. They're looking 198 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,720 at waste, fraud and abuse. Just got access to Treasury 199 00:12:27,799 --> 00:12:30,919 payment accounts to showcase all of the fraud going on 200 00:12:31,039 --> 00:12:34,039 billions and billions of dollars. They're already saving billions of 201 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:35,799 dollars a day. We have to look at spending. We 202 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,480 have to look at tax cuts as well. But it's 203 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,960 very important. There are multiple factors that go into inflation. 204 00:12:41,039 --> 00:12:43,879 We have to recognize that and try to fight our 205 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,679 way forward and grow the economy in a way that 206 00:12:46,759 --> 00:12:49,840 wages grow with the challenges we have ahead and that 207 00:12:49,879 --> 00:12:52,200 people can afford eggs and gas. Again, we can't do 208 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:53,840 that right now until we fix the system. 209 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 6: Now, we were just looking at a scrolling list of 210 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,159 some of the products and companies that are going to 211 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,120 be affected. It seems like virtually every sector of the 212 00:13:02,159 --> 00:13:08,200 American economy potentially could be targeted by these tariffs and 213 00:13:08,279 --> 00:13:12,080 the tariffs that Mexico and Canada have now announced that 214 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,039 they will institute against US goods. 215 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, and as I was saying, look, that list was 216 00:13:16,759 --> 00:13:20,440 shown on Nancy Mace was on air there with Fox. 217 00:13:22,279 --> 00:13:26,720 But if you really want to laugh or cry, this 218 00:13:26,759 --> 00:13:29,879 is what she said about inflation. Play the clip. 219 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:35,279 Speaker 6: This trade war that has erupted involving the US, Mexico, China, 220 00:13:35,399 --> 00:13:39,000 and Canada. Will it drive up consumer prices? 221 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,759 Speaker 5: There was a potential risk, as Donald Trump mentioned, But 222 00:13:42,799 --> 00:13:45,159 Canada and Mexico, let's face it. These are the facts. 223 00:13:45,159 --> 00:13:47,240 They made their bed and now they can lie in it. 224 00:13:47,639 --> 00:13:50,759 I was just participated in a raid on Friday with 225 00:13:50,879 --> 00:13:54,759 ICE and HSI Homeland Security investigations, and they were there 226 00:13:54,799 --> 00:13:57,039 to deport an individual, a young man, eighteen year old 227 00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,440 from South America who a week ago had three point 228 00:13:59,519 --> 00:14:02,679 five a bental enough to kill one hundred, maybe a 229 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:09,639 thousand people or more. These cartels Trinaloa, Trineagua, TDA and 230 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,159 the Cineloa cartel MS thirteen gangs. They're everywhere across my 231 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,519 home state of South Carolina. They're everywhere across every community 232 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,159 across the country. And we have to play hard wall 233 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,279 with these countries. Who know where the meth labs are, 234 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,000 they know where fentanyl's coming in, they know where illegals 235 00:14:24,039 --> 00:14:27,159 are coming in, pouring into our country, killing us, even 236 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,000 in many many of our communities. 237 00:14:29,519 --> 00:14:31,399 Speaker 1: They I mean, if they figured it all out, they 238 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:32,879 have all the answers. Well, if they have all the 239 00:14:32,919 --> 00:14:36,240 answers in terms of where it's coming from, who's doing it? 240 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,440 You really don't think that there's an easier way than 241 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:44,320 creating a trade war amongst the world. Donald seems to 242 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:48,879 have an issue with everyone EU, the UK, Canada, China, 243 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:56,200 He is an issue with Mexico, with Panama, with obviously Finland, Greenland. 244 00:14:56,519 --> 00:14:59,960 He seems to have an issue with basically every single 245 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,919 old country. I guess America is going to become the 246 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:09,120 isolationist country that Project twenty twenty five called for. We're 247 00:15:09,159 --> 00:15:13,919 in dangerous times, really dangerous times. And let me add 248 00:15:13,919 --> 00:15:16,840 this by once again saying we need to build this 249 00:15:16,879 --> 00:15:19,519 community and thank you for being a part of it. 250 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:25,399 So subscribe, watch comment again I need your comments and 251 00:15:25,519 --> 00:15:29,080 share with your friends, help to build the community, and 252 00:15:29,159 --> 00:15:32,720 as always, thanks for listening.
