MSNBC host Comedy Hour is in the oval talking about that?
And are Trump and Megan McCain making up?
Speaker 2: Kissing and making it?

We're seeing that all that and so much more on
the show today.

the tariff talk. Blah blah blah. It's like tariff tariff.
It's all that we ever talked about, the fantastic.
Speaker 1: It's gotta be tariff tastic today.
Speaker 2: But there is a much more pressing issue, and that
is the transformation that you are about to witness of
Sunny Houston. So there's nothing more important to me than
this today. Okay, I want you, I want to ask
you who she reminds you of in this photo, Eva Longoria.
Speaker 1: Really that is such a compliment to her Yoa or
Wendy or that Wendy Chick.
Speaker 2: A little bit of bottle of.
Speaker 1: Chick, and then she's trying trying to be Eva Longoria.
Speaker 2: I think it looks much more like this, a.
Speaker 1: Little bit like that, a little bit like Wendy.
Speaker 2: I mean, you guys, do you see it?
Speaker 3: Is she me?
Speaker 1: Is she getting a lot of plastic surgery?
Speaker 2: Is that what's happening?
Speaker 1: What's going on?
Speaker 2: Or she just using all the botox. I don't know
what's going on, but like it's her eyeballs. I think
they're just getting really big somehow.
Speaker 1: Well, then that could be hyperthyroidism. I mean, okay, well
what I'm an expert in syroid crap. Yeah, it could be.
Speaker 2: It could be.
Speaker 1: It could be that she needs to get her thyroid checked.
I'm just saying, if her eyeballs are bulging out of her.
Speaker 2: Head, I just think it's a slam dunkness. I think
it's happening more and more every day, and that is
the most important headline of your day to day.
Speaker 1: JK says, it's o zempic. I don't know if she's
on really it could be yeah, Graves disease, Yeah, it
could be Graves disease.
Speaker 2: Harley catch She's totally great. Yeah, but like, and she
she's doing this thing now. Whenever you see Sunny Houston
in an interview, she does this thing where she wants
to be snarky and snippy, and so she does that
blinky thing like when she talks, thinking that it's like
helping her exaggerator point and it just makes you look
more like Wendy Williams.
Speaker 1: Isn't that that's a sign that you're lying? Isn't it
when you like blink excessively? And isn't that my lady?
Speaker 2: Did I just make that up? Or I feel like
I don't know? That could be a body language thing
for real.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's all sorts of body language signals when you're
a liar.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Anyway, Also in news today, this was so cute
because everybody loves DJ D Annual and so he went
to go and pick his uh what are they calling it?
A cyber Beast tesla that was gifted to him by
Elon and so there were some cute photos of him
getting to sit in his new tesla. How old is he? Thirteen? Okay,
so he's got a couple of years before he could
drive it. Mm hm. So you know his dad is
like score, oh yeah, his dad is like just so great. Yeah.
So anyway, that is a cute thing that happened. Another
thing that happened is that Pete Hegseth went to Panama
Wheelan and delan on behalf of the Trump administration, and
here he is making an announcement about some stuff that
was going to get signed yesterday.
Speaker 4: United States and Panama have just signed a Memorandum of
Understanding on cooperative security activities, and we'll be signing just
moments after this press conference a joint Declaration with the
Minister of Canal Affairs on the Security and Operation of
the Panama Canal, which is a framework for US warship
and auxiliary ships to sail first and free through the
Panama Canal.
Speaker 1: I think it's a total power myth. I wish they
were playing Van Halen's Panama while. That would have been
even more of a power.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that would have been amazing. I love
my trunks.
Speaker 1: Like, hey, China, everybody else is working with me on
the terrace, and you guys are like sulking in the corner.
I'm gonna go ahead. I'm going to take control of
the Panama Canal, so you can just stuck it. Bye,
stuck it, China.
Speaker 2: That's what he should have done. So great eagles flying
Panama playing. He should have done that. Why did he
do that? As I missed opportunity? Speaking of eagles, thank
you for that segue. Have you gotten your point nine
nine nine fine American Silver Eagle from First Fidelity Reserve
yet because if not, this is a really good time.
Thirty three dollars right now, plus free shipping. You can
get it for you, you can get it for your kids,
you can get it for your grandkids just in time
for their Easter baskets. Again, thirty three dollars and free shipping.
That's pretty awesome. You can call eight hundred three three
six sixteen thirty or visit First Fidelity Reserve dot com.
There are some predictions, by the way, that silver is
gonna hit fifty bucks per ounce this calendar year and
possibly go up to seventy five dollars an ounce before
twenty twenty eight. So again, you want to get in
on that action right the heck now eight hundred three
three six sixteen thirty or First Fidelity Reserve dot check
them out immediately. Yesterday we showed that like ridiculous little
video of Christy Nome in her flak vest that was
still fitted and like holding the pointing it at somebody's head.
I just this needs to stop. All of this cosplaying
by all of our I.
Speaker 1: Mean influencers, influencers are out there doing.
Speaker 2: That's what she's trying to be right, like Christy Noome,
you are the Secretary of Homeland Security. Your job is
not to be out like corralling and wrangling illegals. Don't
just leave that to border patrol please. And now, to
make it even worse, she's using libs of TikTok girl
to help do it. And this is just like beyond
this is just stop it, like this administration needs to
stop with their influencer.
Speaker 1: Crap, right, I totally agree, I do so off putting.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I understand the importance of using influencers. I do.
I think that that is it's valid for them to
do that, but.
Speaker 2: Maybe not in this way. It's this is very cringe.
Speaker 1: Somebody said when he did stop being mean to Christy
Noam this mean we like, well, we like, we like Christy.
Speaker 2: Now I'm just don't do this, okay.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And the chick from Limbs of TikTok has no business
doing this.
Speaker 2: I mean she literally posted arrested some criminal illegal aliens
with Secretary Nome this morning. That is not appropriate, that's
not that's not what. This is not your wheelhouse. This
is not your lane. Your lane is to be posting
ship on TikTok r on Twitter. Rather, that is weird.
Speaker 1: It's like me and mock out there arresting illegals.
Speaker 2: Right and then saying, oh, look, Phoenix, Arizona just got
a lot safer because of us.
Speaker 1: Your middle aged ladies out there arrested illegals.
Speaker 2: Not I don't know. It's just not a It needs
to stop it, guys. It's weird. It's just freaking weird.
There was an interesting House vote yesterday, and that is
that the House voted to pass a bill that limits
court judges authority to block what Trump is trying to
do nationwide. It's basically to rein in all of these
freaky activist judges. We know just from the stats that
they are way overhanded when it comes to trying to
stop what Trump's agenda is. And so it ended up
being a vote of two nineteen I think to two thirteen,
which is great. Now, of course it has to pass
the Senate, and apparently there is a similar bill floating
in the Senate right now, just waiting to get voted on,
so we'll see what happens with that. Interestingly, there were
two Republicans who voted against this bill, and one of
them is Nancy Mayce. I don't know the rationale, but
it was Ryan Mackenzie from Pennsylvania and Nancy Mace from
here in South Carolina. So I don't know what their
hang up was about trying to stop activist judges from
thwarting national agenda items, but they did not like this bill. Interesting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure that they will be commenting on that today.
Speaker 2: I would I would hope that if Nancy is not
putting out a selfie video even a day that ends
with why, be completely shocked. So I'm sure that we'll
hear from her. Also, there was a very odd moment
in the White House Oval Office yesterday. Trump signed a
bunch more executive orders. He also had as a guest
Governor Correttion Whitmer, and he was very complimentary towards her.
It was it was odd. Here is that moment.
Speaker 5: We're honored to have Gretchen Whitmer from Michigan, great state
of Michigan, and she's been She's really done an excellent job.
I'm a very good person.
Speaker 2: And we're working on the not really.
Speaker 5: Friend as you know, the air base. We're trying to
get the air base open, keep it open.
Speaker 1: I think the only thing I can think of is
this is like mafia love. This is like you know
what I mean, Like he's you know how mafia bosses
do that. Like mob bosses will be that they pretend
to love you, but they are just keeping you close.
Speaker 2: I mean, they're obviously working on something together, and that's neat.
But like, does he need to be so complimentary? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Well, I mean because he I don't think he really
likes her. No one, no one likes her. Not one
single person likes this crazy bach she is.
Speaker 2: I mean unless you're a person that's really hungry for
cast roles and then you, Gretchen, I just yeah, keep
keep your like keep your enemies close kind of thing.
Speaker 1: That's the thing. I just think that's maybe what he's
doing here. That's the only explanation I've got.
Speaker 2: It wasn't my favorite moment. I will say.
Speaker 1: It wasn't a good It's.
Speaker 2: Not a kiacea.
Speaker 1: It's a hot dish, Mack hot right, the hot dish.
Speaker 2: There were amazing hilarious, stand up comic level hilarity coming
from Trump in the Oval yesterday when he was signing
these orders and these proclamations. One of them was just
sort of a what's the word not. It wasn't an EO,
and it wasn't like an authorization. It was just sort
of a confirmation really of the fact that Mike Huckabee
is now going to be our US ambassador to Israel.
And so he was talking about that, and he just
made a joke about bacon. So peak from you guys.
Speaker 6: Firmed Governor Hackeby to be your next ambassador to Israel
earlier today. That's his commission as ambassador. And then we
also have a transmittal letter to the President of Israel
requesting that he accept Governor Hackeby's excuse me, Ambassador Huckaby's credentials.
Speaker 7: He's going to be fantastic. He's going to bring the bacon.
Bacon isn't too. It's just clear that up.
Speaker 2: I know it, right, It's just so him. It's just
so him. And then, like to the delight of every
normal person in America, he also signed an executive order
to undo some of the ridiculous restrictions that Joe Biden
put on water pressure. So this is amazing news for
those of us who like a nice high pressure shower,
and Trump is one of those people, and he wanted
to tell everyone exactly, why do you pay.
Speaker 5: A lot of money and the developers, you're not allowed
to do anything more.
Speaker 8: They put restrictors on.
Speaker 5: They used to have a restrictor where you could take
it out, but now they weld it in. And you
take a shower or wash your hands, whatever you do,
including dishwashes when no water comes out, but you wash
your hands. And in my case, I like to take
a nice shower to take care of my hair. Fifteen
minutes just wet because drip drip, dripped is ridiculous.
Speaker 2: It's ridiculous. He has to take care of his hair,
you guys.
Speaker 1: His beautiful hair, his beautiful yellow hair.
Speaker 2: Don't touch it. Don't touch my hair. Oh my god,
that was amazing. It was great. Also, Mike Johnson has
been trying to move forward this budget bill, and this
guy that clearly wants to make a jasmine crocketty kind
of name for himself. It is Nevada Representative Steve Horsford.
I think is how you say his name. He absolutely
was losing his crap about want Trump wanting tax cuts.
He said tax cuts would basically hurt Americans. Here is
him losing his mind.
Speaker 9: Rushing to the floor to pass a budget reconciliation to
screw America by passing the biggest.
Speaker 10: Tax cut in history on the backs of the American people.
Speaker 1: I'm mad, WTF, who's in charge?
Speaker 2: We know he's in charge. Thank god, it's not you,
because oh my god, dude, calm down. What in the world,
gad of these people?
Speaker 1: Man, It's just like, yeahs so he's mad about tax Okay,
tax cuts, all right.
Speaker 2: He's super mad about him and he says that they
are a tax cut on the backs of working Americans.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that would be great, thank you.
Speaker 2: You obviously don't live in America. Do you know how
this works? Like, do you know how that's actually affect Americans?
Speaker 1: Because he's taking money from hard working Americans.
Speaker 2: That's how people live.
Speaker 1: They live off the backs of American hardworking Americans.
Speaker 2: You're welcome. That probably needs some remedial civics training, maybe
just a little bit. You know what he should do.
He should take the prager U test. He shot can do.
And by the way, your last chance to win ten
thousand dollars in the prager U Sweepstakes by taking the
ten question Civics test. It ends tomorrow, So hopefully you
guys have already taken it, but if you haven't, if
this is your first time hearing about it, they are
doing a ten thousand dollars sweep stakes, which is amazing.
There is no purchase necessary. The only rule is that
you got to be eighteen or older to enter the
sweep stakes. You can see all the official rules at
prager youu dot com to get all the details. But
essentially this is mirroring to some degree the test that
migrants have to take in order to get their citizenship.
So if you migrate to the United States and you
want to become a United States citizen and you're doing
it the right way, ultimately you end up taking this
Civics test and a lot of Americans unfortunately cannot pass it.
So test your knowledge. You can do it today and
tomorrow that's it. That's when the sweepstakes portion ends. You
can visit pragervie dot com slash chicks and that will
enter you into a chance to win ten thousand dollars.
I don't even think you have to get all ten
questions right. You just have to be ask it right. Yeah,
you just have to pass it, So don't be afraid.
Go and take it and see how you do. And
we are just so hopeful that it's one of our really,
oh my.
Speaker 1: God, I know, I hope it's one of you guys.
Speaker 2: So take in it. That would be the.
Speaker 1: Most amazing thing if one of you guys won the
ten grand.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, it would be so great. Pragernew dot
com slash Chicks, that's where you're gonna find the test,
So go and take it. Yes, you guys. Remember Tiffany
Cross from MSNBC. She's one of many MSNBC hosts who
got the acts not long ago. She's awful. She's just
an awful, awful person. They're all kind of awful, they are,
and that's why they're hard to keep straight, you know
what I mean, because they're all awful. But she was
on the Abbey Phillips Show last night and they were
talking about Greenland and Scott Jenny's abscont Jenny. They got
into a little spot because she tried to call him
irrelevant and so he called her irrelevant and then they
just went back and forth and it was delicious. Here
it is.
Speaker 11: You cannot just go and say I like it, it's
mine now. It doesn't work that way. Well, that that
is what they're trying to do and in this new
world order, Yeah, absolutely, when they're looking at Greenland and
say I like it, I want to take it for mine,
that is a very colonize you.
Speaker 12: I have never ever said We're going to go to
Greenland and quote colonize it.
Speaker 13: Or you're not a government so you're the president of
job if you want to engage in personal infoult but
you lack.
Speaker 2: And the legitimate point you make up for impersonal impact.
Speaker 11: The point I am making is in this new world order,
we are looking at countries, whether or not they're an
adversary or ally, it is being determined on what kind
of deal we can get, and we cannot govern, we
cannot legislate that way. We are increasingly isolated on.
Speaker 2: The world stage.
Speaker 11: So if you want to engage in personal yourself, why
were you? I would reserve that for your party who
are not isolated this.
Speaker 8: The United States.
Speaker 2: She's the one who's lacking. I know, I loved when
he was like you got fired, how relevant are you?
And we are in no way isolated. We're not isolated.
Speaker 1: No, of course, why is that a talking point on
the left that we are somehow isolated. We're like this
island now and everybody hates us. We're not We're just not.
Why do you think everybody's clamoring to work with us? Yeah,
it's just it's just such a stupid talking point.
Speaker 2: Yeah. My favorite thing now is that more and more
often he's started to do the Jim Helper look directly
into the count into the camera thing.
Speaker 1: And I, oh my god, he's like just so long
suffering looking into the camera, like what am I gonna
do with these people?
Speaker 2: This is my favorite. I just love astic out of nowhere.
I didn't even know this was happening. I only have
one clip from it because who cares but you, Bernie Sanders.
You decided inexplicably that you needed to do a town
hall with Anderson Cooper on CNN just I need a
fourth home. Just to give you an example of how
Democrats continue not to understand why they lost. In November,
Anderson Cooper got a wrist slap for misgendering one of
the audience.
Speaker 1: Members, Oh my god, the gay Anderson Cooper got a risk.
Speaker 2: Okay, does you listen closely because you'll hear she's off
camera correcting him, and he's like, oh, so listen closely.
Speaker 8: All the apple.
Speaker 14: Senator Bernie Sanders, I want to introduce Grace Thomas.
Speaker 8: She's a local civil rights attorney. She's a Democrat.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: They then pronouns actually, thank you. Oh, He's like, I
apologize to both of you. I wasn't aware that you're plural.
My bad. I'm really sorry to both of you. All
of you good. That's just I mean, right there, it
is just everything about why they lost.
Speaker 1: All everything on the stage. It's like Anderson and Bernie
and that crazy lady, that's why they lost. They're all insane,
just I mean, you can't make it up.
Speaker 2: You just can't. It's all fear crazy. Yesterday we talked
about California and that twenty dollars minimum wage for fast
food worker. So I'm not even sure where this woman is,
but there was some sort of rally for fast food workers.
This woman in particular works at bow Jangles, and so
she was rallying to make twenty five dollars an hour,
twenty five dollars an hour to be a fast for
fast food worker. Here she is explaining to you why
she deserves twenty five bucks an hour. Can't wait for
this grave fries. I get burned, slice in my finger.
Speaker 15: Yeah, anymore last to day.
Speaker 16: So imagine every city day we're coming here getting cut
and burned.
Speaker 17: For seven to ten hours.
Speaker 8: Imagine how many cuts and burns you get in seventy.
Speaker 2: To ten hours it constantly working.
Speaker 6: Don't we get paid twelve hotsenough?
Speaker 8: No, won't even cooking?
Speaker 18: Mohowe to do?
Speaker 8: If I get it?
Speaker 17: Thirty a burd that is more than whats a woy
demand twenty five dollars I.
Speaker 2: Know, Oh my god, one hundred dollars an hour.
Speaker 1: Then it should totally be one hundred dollars an hour,
absolutely because she's getting sliced and burned.
Speaker 2: You guys, you can't put a price on your health.
You can't put a price on making those from baby.
Can't do it. I can't do it, Lord, I know,
it's just absolutely absurd. We have to have another clip
from Tendings. He was asked it was one of those,
you know, last five minutes of the show kind of
thing where they do the fun stuff, And he was
asked if he were going to write executive orders, what
would they be about. So here are some of his
executive orders, you guys in there, absolutely perfect.
Speaker 12: Then fifteen seconds at the coffee creamer bar at the
coffee shop, straight to L Salvador. Two or more, walking
side by side on a sidewalk, You're gone, El Salvador.
Speaker 2: Recline your seat on an airplane, El Salvador.
Speaker 12: Disney Adults, You're going to and finally pronouns in your
email signature out of here.
Speaker 1: I knew I liked him. I knew I liked him
with the Disney Adults. Seriously, that was it. He had
me at Disney Adults. I thought I liked him, but
I like, seriously, I just got that.
Speaker 3: Too much.
Speaker 2: I just freaking love him, you guys, love love him
the greatest. I also love taking care of my skin,
and that is why I use One Skin. You guys,
it is. We're getting into the summer season, okay, where

have this broad spectrum SPF for full face and full body, okay.

we sent you. We would very much appreciate that. Again,
it's fifteen percent off with code Chicks at one skin
dot Co. And then you can tell them that we
sent you. All right, I suppose we need to get
into the nitty gritty of what happened yesterday. It was
a it was a day, you guys, It was a big,
fat day. And so we're going to start with one
video that happened before Trump made the announcement that there
was going to be a ninety day pause, and this
was you know, stocks opened really really poorly yesterday. Scott
Bessant was on with Maria Barbromo to talk about what
was not necessarily was going to happen because he wasn't
spilling the beans, but he had a very specific message
for China.
Speaker 19: I think that's unfortunate that the Chinese actually don't want
to come and negotiate because they are the worst defenders
in the international trading system. They have the most imbalanced
economy in the history of the modern world. And you know,
I can tell you that this escalation is a loser
for them. That they have some very smart the economist,
the academicians, technocrats within their bureaucracy, and they would be
telling the leadership that we do not have the edge here.
They are the surplus country that they're.
Speaker 8: Exports to the.
Speaker 19: US are five times our exports to China, so they
can raise their terrorists.
Speaker 8: But so what.
Speaker 1: Some burly dude on Twitter who said, besn't going to
turn me gay?
Speaker 2: I saw that yesterday. I was dying.
Speaker 1: I was just dying because he was on fire yesterday,
as on fire as he could be.
Speaker 2: You know, you know, he's just so and we mean
that in the best way, like he's so steady, he's
so steady.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's just needs this all the time, which I
totally appreciate. But he was on fire yesterday.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, it was. It was kind of amazing.
So then, you know, mid morning or so, Trump made
the announcement about the pause. Please read this for the audience.
Speaker 1: Based on the lack of respect that China has shown
to the world's markets, I am here by raising the
tariff charged to China by the United States of America
two one hundred and twenty five percent.
Speaker 2: Effective immediately.
Speaker 1: At some point, hopefully in the near future, China will
realize that the days of ripping off the USA and
other countries is no longer sustainable or acceptable. Conversely, and
based on the fact that more than seventy five countries
have called representatives of the United States, including the Departments
of Commerce, Treasury, and the USTR to negotiate a solution
to the subjects being discussed relative to trade, trade barriers, tariffs,
currency manipulation, and non monetary tariffs, and that these countries
have not, at my strong suggestion, retaliated in any way,
shape or form against the United States. I have authorized
a ninety day pause and a substantially lowered reciprocal tariff
during this period, also effective immediately.
Speaker 2: Thank you for your attention to this matter. You know
how much I love that. You know how much I
love it day and since tweets that way, yeah, so great, great,
so interesting, interesting strategy. Of course, the markets like soared
the biggest single day increase in the history of the markets. Essentially. Yeah, now,
it didn't make up for all the losses, but it
sure helped make up for a big giant chunk of nice,
nice bump, nice bump. And so there was a lot
of reaction, and as you may imagine, it was absolutely
all over the place, depending on where your ideology falls, right,
and so a lot of people were like, this isn't strategy.
He caved, and then people who clearly believe its strategy
were validated in that belief. So let's hear first from
Larry Kudlow, who had this to say.
Speaker 10: By the way, here Scott Bestin said, April, May June
are going to be busy months. Okay, if you could
get a couple three deals in the next three, four
or five weeks, I don't know how many weeks, six weeks,
that's going to trigger a tremendous rally in the stock
market because people are going to say, you know what,
that Trump people were right, this is exactly how it's
playing out that were treated unfairly now with his threat
that they're making pays off. Trump is in the master negotiator.
I don't see it. Frankly at this point, to me,
all this recession talk, it's the greatest recession that never happened.
Speaker 19: I don't see it.
Speaker 10: I just don't see it.
Speaker 2: Okay, there you go. Yeah, I do want to believe
that this was strategy. However, you know, sometimes Trump steps
on his own dick, as we've come to know and
love about Trump over the years. But his messaging did
not line up with what Scott Vessant was saying, which
I think is the problem, right, Like, there was not
a unified voice saying this is exactly what we intended.
Now Scott said that, And Scott has very specific ideas
about why they went about all this the way that
they did. And I think it was great strategy. I'm
one of the people that is like, this was freaking brilliant.
Speaker 1: So you don't think that Trump, you don't think Trump
did this on purpose?
Speaker 2: I well, I would like to except that he said
he said that he was reacting to the bond market,
and I was like, why are you saying that? Just
own this, like, say that this was brilliant strategy. Why
are you are you trying to act like you caved
to the bond market, Like why would you dampen your
own message? And you'll hear that later. I don't understand
why he said it, but I think Scott was the
right person to send out to speak about this, and
he talked earlier about how this this ends up, you know,
isolating China, which was the point. And I think that
this was so brilliant, and he of course explains it brilliantly.
Speaker 9: Here he is at the end of the day that
we can probably reach the ideal with with our alloy
with the other countries that have been long term, They've
been good military allies, not perfect economic allies, and then
we can approach China as a group.
Speaker 2: Which I love that totally. I love that. Yeah, that's
freaking brilliant.
Speaker 1: It is brilliant.
Speaker 2: It is. Yeah. And so when he go ahead, I.
Speaker 1: Was just going to say, and this is nothing that
has been done before.
Speaker 2: You know, it needed to be done. Hell yeah, to
be done.
Speaker 1: So I mean, regardless of how you feel about it,
or if you think that it was on purpose or not,
it's being done. And he has the fault, and he
has the He's the only person, he's the only president
that has had the balls to do it or to
do something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's exactly what Scott said. He talked about
the courage that it took to finally make this happen.
So right when that pause happened, they sent Scott and
Caroline out to talk to reporters, and here is Scott
about the courage it took.
Speaker 8: Thank you.
Speaker 19: And we saw the successful negotiating strategy that President Trump
implemented a week ago. Today, it has brought more than
seventy five countries forward to negotiate. It took great courage,
great courage for him to stay the course until this moment.
And what we have ended up with here.
Speaker 8: As I told.
Speaker 19: Everyone a week ago, they're in this very spot. Do
not retaliate and you will be rewarded. So every country
in the world who wants to come and negotiate, we
are willing to hear you. We're going to go down
to a ten percent baseline tariff for them, and China
will be raised to one five due to their insistence
on escalation.
Speaker 1: Yeah, China's being a dick and everybody else is like,
they're coming to play ball, so let's do that. Just
get along, right, I mean that's and they don't don't
want to.
Speaker 2: No, they continue to retaliate, right.
Speaker 1: Because they've been taking advantage of us, and they want
to continue to take advantage of us. You don't get
to do that. And Trump actually has the balls to
say you don't get to do that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the I mean, it's definitely escalating with China. So
we'll see how this all shakes out. I mean, the
White House continues to believe that China wants to make
a deal, but they don't know how. This is the
constant messaging that we're hearing is that they do want
to negotiate, they just don't know how to do it.
Without losing their pride. That's how the.
Speaker 1: Step Brothers, you know, it's it's like they remember that
movie Step Brothers with the guys that didn't know how
to hug.
Speaker 2: It's that.
Speaker 1: That's us with China. It's like we're like, I don't know.
Speaker 20: How to hug you.
Speaker 2: It's so awkward.
Speaker 1: That's us with China. We don't know how to that's us.
It's like we don't know how to deal, but they
don't know how.
Speaker 2: To deal with us.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they don't know how to do that with us
because they're so used to screwing us over.
Speaker 2: You know, well, and it might have something to do.
I mean, China is whack on almost every level, especially
because they eat dogs. Why would you do that? Why would
you eat dogs? Dogs are our very best friend, and
that is why we give our dogs rough Greens. Yes,
rough Greens is the health power. It looks like this.
Rough Greens is a nutritional supplement that was put together
created by naturopathic doctor Dennis Black. It gives your dogs
all the essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and digestive enzymes that
they need to complete their diet. Because honestly, like the
brown dry kibble it's just not good enough. And we
have the most delightful testimonial from It's hard to read,
but it's from Robin oh Nuna Belle, and mister Darcy,
and she wrote, good morning. My pups have eaten the
same food from a local kentuckyana business almost their entire life.
They turned to on Christmas Day. However, five months ago,
upon having rough Greens sprinkled on their kibble, they immediately
decided they would not eat it anymore without that special
Here's a picture of Luna on the left and mister
Darcy on the right watching me hold the green can
that contains the good stuff and patiently waiting. Thank you
for bringing this awesomeness to our attention and into our home.
I'd also like to shout out rough Green's customer service.
My dogs are very small toy poodles and they don't
eat a lot, so the rough Green's bags were starting
to accumulate. I opened a chat on their website and
said I needed to cancel my subscription for a few
months while I used up what we had, and the
rep was so nice. They said they could cancel or
they offered me the option to just pause my subscription.
For a few months. I of course chose that option.
It was the smoothest customer service interaction I've had in
forever and just made me even happier to be their customer.
So there you have it, and she said, thanks jerks
from Robin, Luna Belle and mister Darcy and those two
So cute, isn't it the cutest? So cute bab. If
you want to try a Jumpstart bag for free, you
just cover shipping. You can go to rough Chicks ruff
Chicks dot com and the code, of course is shick.
All right. So here is where things got a little
scorely because Scott besant amazing spokesperson. He obviously knows this
issue inside and out. He is the Secretary Treasury after
Secretary of Treasury after all, And when he made his announcement,
he said specifically, this strategy was settled on Sunday, that
he had a very specific conversation with the President on Sunday.
Speaker 1: Here he is again, this.
Speaker 19: Was driven by the President's strategy. He and I had
a long talk on Sunday, and this was his strategy
all along. And that you know, you might even say
that he go to China into a bad position. They
responded that they have shown themselves to the world to
be the bad actors, and we are willing to pull
operate with our allies and with our trading partners who
did not retaliate. It wasn't a hard message, don't retaliate.
Speaker 8: Things will turn out well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't do that, and they are and they're the
only ones who are doing that.
Speaker 2: But again that that was a very clear thing. Like
we talked on Sunday, we knew this was going to
be what we were going to do, right, This was
a plan as of Sunday. And I don't know why.
I don't know why Trump didn't go along with that narrative.
I just don't get it. But regardless, the strategy is
working I think the way that they wanted. Caroline Lovett
also even though the day before she was asked the
very question in the presser, she was asked, Hey, there's
rumors about a ninety day pause, which, by the way,
side note, there's a leaker, because remember somebody was like,
there's going to be a ninety day pause. They didn't
figure out who the hell that was. Yeah, because that
obviously got leaked, And she insisted in the press or
the day before yesterday, that's ridiculous. Trump has no plans
to pause. That's totally not true. That is fake news.
And then yesterday she turned around and said, you guys
just don't understand the art of the deal.
Speaker 21: It could just add to what the secretary said. Many
of you in the media clearly missed the art of
the deal. You clearly failed to see what President Trump
is doing here. You tried to say that the rest
of the world would be moved closer to China, when
in fact we've seen the opposite effect. The entire world
is calling the United States of America, not China, because
they need our markets, they need our consumers, and they
need this president in the Oval Office to talk to them.
And that's exactly why more than seventy five countries have called.
Because the United States of America is the best place
in the world to do business. And as the President
has shown great courage, as the Secretary have said, and
choosing to retaliate against China even higher.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, the people who are screaming the loudest
understand him the least. So he is the guy who
is all about the art of the deal.
Speaker 2: He wrote the book.
Speaker 1: Now he's the Yeah, business that's there, essential business man
money on him. I mean, that's why I'm just not
if people are freaking out about all this. I just
kind of sit back. Maybe it's because I'm not like
miss stock market Lady, where I have jillions of dollars.
Speaker 2: I just don't care.
Speaker 1: I'm just kind of sitting back and I'm watching it
happen because I know that, like long term, I just
feel like things will work out.
Speaker 2: Really do. I think I think it's the strategy is
working is a good one. I The only one that
baffles me is why he's not taking credit for it.
I just don't get it. I don't get it.
Speaker 1: Well, I think he eventually he will. I think he will.
Maybe that was just like a slip up and words yesterday,
but I mean, I just I feel like, at the
end of the day, is what's the alternative? What was
the alternative to him not doing this.
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: It's the same old, same old. It's bankruptcy. It's us
getting continuing to bend over and get screwed by all
these other countries and America last. So I'm totally fine
with all of this, and people who aren't too. People
who are not are America last. And they just need
to shut up.
Speaker 2: And then I mean the people that were like he's caving,
he caved, caving, caving, caving. It was just so petty
to me. It just seemed so petty of everybody. Here's
a few examples. So Gavin Newsom was like, Trump caved,
changed his mind again to our international partner partners, California
is a stable, reliable, we want your business.
Speaker 1: Dude, you need to take all the seats right. You
don't even like, you don't even have balls. You could
never do this.
Speaker 2: Jessica Tarlavar, Trump caved. Carry on with your day like
it was.
Speaker 15: She was.
Speaker 2: She was like making some sort of amazing point and.
Speaker 1: Like she about like she knows the first thing about business,
like any right people do.
Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer said Trump retreats on tariffs because of a
Trump slump. He went on to say that he was
a gape.
Speaker 15: Sucky.
Speaker 2: Please don't use words in ways that you don't understand them,
Chuck Schumer, because you sound like an idiot. Check this out.
Speaker 22: Yes, it leaves you a gape at what he has,
what he is doing, and how much damage he is causing,
and how literally cares.
Speaker 2: He just doesn't care. You guys, he doesn't care. Is
that Mazie heronow?
Speaker 8: Is that who that is?
Speaker 2: We're going to hear from her next.
Speaker 1: I just cannot wait to hear from her. Is she
going to talk about people wanting to have sex with her?
Speaker 3: Or like, what.
Speaker 2: Have you ever been accused of sexual harassment? I know
she did not say that, but she did try to
say that there's no plan, that Trump doesn't have a plan,
and that is really the dumbest thing ever, because Trump
always has a plan and so this is just I mean,
she's so dumb, you guys. There's just nobody dumber than
Mazy Herono. I don't know there's on that side. But
she's in. She's in the running for the dummer. She's
definitely in the running here. She is pausing these Harris
has said he didn't really have a plan.
Speaker 8: It's like a rolling down the.
Speaker 5: Dice and a craft shoot and there's where's the plan?
Speaker 20: What what is the goal here except to create a
lot of chaos?
Speaker 7: And that's.
Speaker 2: Where's the plan? Oh my dog at me. I hate
that they have the same name. I just have it right,
I know. We you have to say her name and
you're like, why she take your dog's name. That's not cool.
And then here's a new little conspiracy theory from none
other than David Axelrod, who said, if this pause on
reciprocal tariffs were actually a victory and not a strategic retreat,
you think Donald Trump would have sent someone else to
announce it.
Speaker 15: What this even mean?
Speaker 2: These people? Trump was all over this announcement. Yeah, I mean,
is he was possible he was using the restroom or
something at the time, and he was all he was
all over the TV.
Speaker 1: I think it was all over everywhere yesterday. I meanah,
that argument that you cannot make when you had Biden
as president. Yeah, exactly, just take every last seat. That
dude was nowhere.
Speaker 2: Trump is everywhere.
Speaker 8: Mm hmmm.
Speaker 2: I mean this was just so stupid because Trump most
likely was busy working on some other thing, like in
this moment. He has every faith and confidence in his team,
which he should. I mean, Scott Bessen is a gem,
and so he was like, go out, go out and
talk to the reporters, tell him I'll be with him later,
which he was like a half an hour later. He
was out there too. So David act, this is just
so dumb. This is so so absolutely stupid.
Speaker 1: They have jobs and they're doing them exactly.
Speaker 2: There's never a moment. And then anybody that ever complains
about Trump golfing can absolutely suck it because there's no
one that works harder and gives more access to the
press than this president. So they can suck it. Yep.
Elizabeth Warren seems to think that Trump doesn't understand how
to run this large of an economy he's going with. Unbelievable.
Speaker 15: Donald Trump has proven that he doesn't understand how to
drive a big economy and that he is perfectly willing.
Speaker 2: To wreck it.
Speaker 1: My god, beat she couldn't run a dry cleaners, Oh
my god, like she put her in charge of a
small business, it would be running to the ground in
three days.
Speaker 2: Just unrealists. He just doesn't understand, he doesn't and doesn't
get it. Well, I do know somebody who gets it,
and that is Senator Kennedy who definitely gets it. Here
he is no person.
Speaker 3: With an IQ.
Speaker 23: It's greater than his age or her age. I can
think that half of the world's countries would have come
to America American people and say we walked and lower
our trade barriers. Had pressure Trump not done what he.
Speaker 2: Did exactly exactly, and that's his point is being totally
lost on the idiots out there who are like, if
he was going to do this, why didn't he just
do it? Why didn't he just put the pause on
from the beginning, because no one would have come to
the table. You want.
Speaker 1: It's called why, it's called the art of the deal?
Speaker 2: Hey up the buck. It's my god.
Speaker 24: I know.
Speaker 1: They don't get it. They don't get it, and he
was He's the guy to do it, and they're and
they're not used to seeing any of these people with balls.
It's just like they don't they can't comprehend it. They
can't wrap their brains around it because they're like, hey, balls, what.
Speaker 2: And you can't forget that. You know, you can point
to Chuck Schumer, you can point to all kinds of
people who not long ago were begging for some equity
with China, they were begging for new trade deals, and
now they're all complaining about it. And there was a reporter,
I don't know who this reporter is. Trump didn't either,
who asked Trump, how do you feel about this hypocrisy?
Trump loved the framing of the question, and of course
this was not very long after Scott Bessett was out there,
David Axelrod Jerk. So here Trump is reacting to that
question humor and Nancy Pelosi.
Speaker 25: They've been talking about tariffs for decades.
Speaker 21: How come when these Democrat elites want tariffs, everything's hunky jory,
But when President Trump wants tariffs, all help breaks loose?
Speaker 3: Do you see this double standard?
Speaker 8: I love this guy, love the hell that is.
Speaker 16: That's truly I appreciate that question jumps humor, Nancy. Everybody
knew you had to.
Speaker 8: Do it, but they never had the guts to do it.
Speaker 16: Does take guts, even takes guts for our country to
go through it. That's why I say be cool. They
was taking about just be cool.
Speaker 1: It's going to work out, yes, and leave it to
a guys, Leave it to a guy that's been shot
in the head that can do it.
Speaker 2: He can do it. Is this the thing? Just be cool? Yeah?
So all of this is great, right, And then there
was the moment where I'm just like, what are you doing?
Why are you not owning the strategy that was so brilliant.
So he's asked by a reporter, you know, why did
you change your mind about this? Pause, and this is
how he answered to.
Speaker 8: Be cool and cool.
Speaker 2: Hours later, there was a pause put in on the terrace.
Speaker 25: Can you walk us through what you're thinking about why
you decided to put a ninety day pause.
Speaker 16: Well, I thought that people were jumping a little bit
out of line.
Speaker 8: They were getting yippie.
Speaker 16: You know, they're getting a little bit you be a
little bit afraid, unlike these champions, because we have a
big job to do.
Speaker 8: No other president would have done what I did.
Speaker 16: No other president, I know the president, they wouldn't have
done it.
Speaker 2: What I mean, that's fun. He's just they're getting yippie.
People are getting scared. So I'm I'm gonna do this
because they're getting yippie. Why did he say about yippie?
I mean, it's it's he just I don't know. That's
why I'm asking, like, why what?
Speaker 24: What?
Speaker 1: Would what would have been a perfect answer for you,
mock exactly what.
Speaker 2: Scott Bessant had said, that we planned this from the
get go, that this was the plan all along, that
this was part of the strategy, and that it was
not a reaction to people getting yippie. I don't no,
I just don't understand it.
Speaker 9: I don't.
Speaker 2: I just don't understand why he didn't jump all over
taking credit and instead try to make it sound like
he was reacting to fear. That is exactly what everyone
is saying that he did, is that he caved, and
he's basically saying, oh, well, people were scared, so I
put a positive you know what I mean. I just
don't get it. I don't get it. I just I
can't understand it because I think the strategy was amazing
and that he should own it. And I think so too.
Speaker 1: I totally think so too, And I think there's still
is strategy and if we could get him on our show,
we could ask him about that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know if that's gonna happen. I don't
know there's some guy out here telling me to calm
down or cool it or whatever. No, you don't get
to tell me what to do. Obviously, I'm asking the
questions because I am honest. Okay, I'm not just gonna
fall in line and not ask questions when there are
questions to be asked. Sorry, I'm gonna ask them.
Speaker 17: Okay.
Speaker 2: So then what happened with Democrats is that naturally they
decided that because Scott besn't on Sunday had said, this
was all part of the plan. We've been you know,
this is strategicy, which is great. Now they've decided that
they're going to treat this as though it was an
inside trading grifting attempt, that they're only the only reason
that they did this is because they wanted to make
tons and tons of money for themselves. My god, I
can't even it's unreal to me that they are trying
to say this unreal, unreal.
Speaker 1: And that he and Elon are trying to make tons
of money. Is that what they're trying to No, because
so try it around.
Speaker 2: Like right before the pause, Trump tweeted publicly obviously, he
tweeted to everybody, this is a great time to buy,
right it is because it was, and then you know,
naturally like so he says that, then he puts the
pause on the stocks go soaring, right, So people are
trying to say that he he sent that message to
his followers and insiders or something, and so a bunch
of people that were in on it made a bunch
of money. And now there needs to be huge investigations.
Everyone literally everyone had access to that information at the
exact same time you don't think that you don't think
that liberals are in the stock market and that they
can see that tweet.
Speaker 1: It's not like they absolutely it was out there for everybody.
So everybody you either saw it or you didn't. You
bought or you didn't. It's like, give me a break.
Speaker 2: It is so stupid. And there's I saw. I can't
remember which representative some Democrat congress person was like, Trump
only told people who are paying for truth Social, Oh, come,
are you freaking kidding me? Nobody needed to pay to
see that. Every tweet that he puts on true Social
automatically feeds to Twitter for freaking free. The headlines exploded
with this nose.
Speaker 1: Any meantime, these people will turn a blind eye to
how much money Nancy Pelosi has made, right, I.
Speaker 2: Mean for the like, ooh, inside, you're treating now now
you're worried about it, all right, she's exactly, she's rich
because she's a public servant, you guys. Okay, So naturally,
who do you think is going to be launched a
big fat investigation into insider trading? I can't with this.
Oh my god, how concon are you with this market fluctuation?
Speaker 25: And are you concerned that there could be members of
the White House that are benefits.
Speaker 12: What a piece of Absolutely, I'm writing to the White
House to demand who knew in advance that the President
was going to once again flip flop on on tariffs?
Speaker 8: And are people catching it?
Speaker 1: There is just yeah, I mean, god forbid people make
any money for people in the White House.
Speaker 8: And the administration to be insider trading. And you can't
put them.
Speaker 1: We can't let the pleas make money. Only I'm allowed
to make money. I'm out of chef. Only I can
make money. What a piece of I have so many
words and they're.
Speaker 2: Saying, they're saying stuff like like basically it's only the
wealthy elite who were able to take advantage of that
Trump tweet where he was like everybody, this is a
great time to buy Literally anybody could have done that.
You could have bought in no matter who you were
in the world's markets to all.
Speaker 1: Okay, there are so many words, so many words. I
can't Somebody needs to investigate that, dude, Adam Chez.
Speaker 2: It's just all good for is freaking launching investigations.
Speaker 3: That's it.
Speaker 2: That's all he's ever done. It's ridiculous. You guys, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 17: Okay.
Speaker 2: Gutfeld had an amazing point about all of this, where
he was talking about Democrats response to the pause. He
made this point about yet another issue the Democrats are
are defending the indefensible on here.
Speaker 1: He is China was isolated.
Speaker 14: All the other countries are coming to the table.
Speaker 2: Done and done.
Speaker 14: If this upsets Democrats, you have then made another odd
group that you have sided with, Tesla Vandal's migrant gangs,
men invading women's spaces, and now communists. It is hysterical
to me what Trump forces you to defend. You know,
if Trump would come out in defense of puppies, the
Democrats would fire bomb the pounds.
Speaker 2: Totally right, He's yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean they're telling us who they are. Believe them.
Speaker 2: You love that point? Yeah, I loved it, And of
course I always love points from uh Jenny's probably I
know this is the last one. Here we go, Oh
my gosh, here he is talking to yours.
Speaker 17: The point is, I think one that a lot of
people are making Scott and it also, I think is
enforced by what happened today, which was a fear that
there was an erosion of trust in the United States
really as a fair broker in the world, as a
market that investors even want to be.
Speaker 8: A part of.
Speaker 12: Well, the administration is pitching it just the opposite, which
is that they're going to deal with the rest of
the world and try to isolate China. So I think
they see it very much differently than the way Standers
is pitching it. And I think that's the correct way
to see it, because China is the bad guy here.
They're a bad actor. Anybody who does business with China
in and around China knows you can't trust them. They
steal your ip. They I mean, they do things and
then they resell it back here in the United I mean,
they do terrible things to everybody that does business with them.
And so if the net result of this ends up
being that the United States creates fairer trade deals with
the rest of the world and we end up isolating China,
I think it will have been worth it. So I'm
in disagreement with Cenacal.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's great strategy right there.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 1: And so China, You're you're putting yourself in a corner.
I know everybody thinks, so China is just so strong.
This that and they have this is I think this
is wonderful strategy on our part.
Speaker 2: I think it's good stuff. I really do think, I
really do.
Speaker 1: And it's about damn time. It's about timn time.
Speaker 2: In a min minute, Yeah, all right, there is other
news aside from tariff talk, and we're going to have
kindergarten teacher Joni Ernst break it down. She's talking about
I don't know why she talks this way like a
kindergarten teacher. It really does. You can speed it up, Joni.
We're able to understand you when you talk at normal speed.
But she's talking about the fact that Elon recently announced,
like we really mean it now, we've given you warning,
federal workers, you're coming back to work in the office. Okay, Nan,
no more of this working at home. We've given you
like a month notice. It's time you're coming back. And
so here's Joni telling about what happened with some of
these federal workers who were asked to come back to
the office.
Speaker 18: Goes further than that, Maria, things is outrageous as trying
to get workers back.
Speaker 2: Into the office.
Speaker 18: We actually had workers that showed up at the office
to protest having to come back to work at the
office finding all kinds of things with the DOGE work,
the squeal work that I have done for ten years.
And thank Heavens we have President Trump and DOGE, the
Office of Government Efficiency that's finally cracking down on these
types of activity.
Speaker 1: So it wasn't the work that got him back. It
was the bitching and moaning and complaining that got him back.
Speaker 2: It's not that they can't go to the office, it's
that they can only go to protest being at the office.
Speaker 1: Right, take the severance losers.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I just wow. I love that all. Yeah,
I know.
Speaker 19: Right.
Speaker 2: There was a hearing to confirm the new appointed or
like proposed appointed NASA administrator. He's a fellow by the
name of Jared Isaacman, and Ted Cruz was questioning him
about are we going to beat China? Are we going
to be the first to have feet on the ground
on Mars for example, And it was just this really
great moment where Jared Isaacman answered the question just pitch.
Speaker 26: Perfectly here he is, So, do we have your commitment
that you will not allow the scenario on the right
on this poster to happen, that China will not beat
us to the moon, that one of these heroes sitting
in this room will set his or her And as
a father of two daughters, I'm particularly excited that Artemis
is committed it will be a her, the first woman
will step foot on the moon, and she will be
an American astronaut. Do we have your commitment that that
we will win the race to the moon and China
will not beat us?
Speaker 8: Centator, I only see the left hand portion of that poster.
Speaker 2: God, I just love that so much.
Speaker 1: I love that.
Speaker 2: That's how he answered it. I was a great answer.
It really I don't even see China.
Speaker 16: Bye.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Gloria, I have two girls too. But I mean,
do we have to do the whole does he did?
Speaker 2: He really have to do?
Speaker 1: I have to have to point that out? Did has
to be a woman on it? Can we just say
let's just send the best person.
Speaker 2: There that's an American. We want to be you know,
we want to be the first on Mars period American.
That's it. It doesn't mean to be a girl. That's why.
Speaker 1: Yeah, can we not Let's not be that, Let's not
be that party.
Speaker 2: Can we not do that? Yeah? Thanks, Okay, I appreciate
it also Brandon Gill. Anytime we get to highlight Brandon Gill,
it's a good day. And he was talking to retired
police officer democrat from Baltimore about safety in Baltimore, and
this line of questioning was just brilliant. I think what
I love about Brandon Gill other than that he's just
nice to look at, which he is is when he
questions people, he leans forward like this, like he just
he like crosses his arms and I don't know what there.
I don't know what it is about that positioning that
makes it so effective, you know what I mean. Like
he's so pointed and effective. He's like the bass player
in a band. He's like the quiet guy. He's like
the guy that doesn't get a lot of attention, you
know what I mean. He's the quiet more of the
quiet reserved one total rock star.
Speaker 24: You know.
Speaker 1: Seriously, he's one to watch. We need to clone this
guy because he's he's not looking for attention. He's not
he's heads down doing the freaking work.
Speaker 2: He's doing the heart.
Speaker 1: He is doing the work, you guys, as opposed to
like the aocs and the Jasmine Crockets of the world,
who are just out there just trying to get soundbites
and they just want attention. You know, he's not that guy.
Speaker 2: I really like him.
Speaker 24: He is.
Speaker 2: He's going to watch and I mean, everybody knows that
Baltimore is not known for being a safe city. That
place is a complete hell hole it is here. He
is trying to just get some honesty from this Democrat
in this hearing.
Speaker 8: Describe Baltimore is a safe city.
Speaker 22: What's your definition of safety I'm asking you, is that
it is Baltimore's safe city. Is it the kind of
that you would want to raise a family and maybe
go jogging in without having to be worried about being
murdered or raped.
Speaker 8: I grew up in Baltimore, My family is in Baltimore.
My mother still is in the same house in West Baltimore.
Is it a safe city? Plus years so the answer
is definitely yes. You think Baltimore is a safe city?
Of course it is. Okay. Do you know what the
homicide rate is in Baltimore exactly?
Speaker 22: No, about thirty five one hundred thousand. Do you know
what the homicide rate is and the rest of the
United States?
Speaker 8: No, I don't.
Speaker 22: I can tell you that the homicide rate in Baltimore
is about five times the national average. Do you know
how Baltimore's robbery rate compares to the rest of the
United States at the moment?
Speaker 8: No, I don't. You don't.
Speaker 22: It's about eight point four times the national average. Do
you know how Baltimore's assault rate compares to the national average?
Speaker 8: No, I don't. It's about three point four times higher.
Does that sound like a safe city to you? It's
safe to me and my family members. That's safe to you.
Speaker 22: Thirty excuse me, five times higher than the national average
for homicides.
Speaker 8: That's a safe city perception. It's what excuse me?
Speaker 2: Perception that it's what the for.
Speaker 16: Instance, it's it's perception is what you feel as a
resident in Baltimore.
Speaker 8: City if you're murdered. I don't think it matters what
you feel to you?
Speaker 22: Is it your testimony that the safety Baltimore City depends
on how people feel?
Speaker 8: To me, Baltimore City is a safe city. To you,
it's a safe city.
Speaker 22: I don't think it's safe to the people who are
being murdered every single weekend there.
Speaker 1: That encapsulates, That encapsulates so much of how liberals feel,
though right is feelings they're all about it's feelings and
statistics are racist, you guys, they're racists all the data
totally racists and sexist and misogynists and everything else.
Speaker 2: And it's all about your feels.
Speaker 1: It's your perception and your feelings.
Speaker 2: What a croc of shit. That is unbelievable. I know,
I just love I love that exchange. It was so
perfectly executed, all with the lean and yeah, Baltimore is like,
we're not Detroit, right, speaking of people who really know
how to answer questions and ask them. Senator Eric Schmidt
from Missouri, he was on with some ABC chick who
is trying to, you know, to continue with this narrative
that if we close the Department of Education, oh my gosh,
the special needs kids are doomed, right because they're not
going to get the federal fund. It's all alive. But
this is what they want. They fear mongering is what
they do. And the way that he set her straight
was just a thing of beauty. Again, this is Eric Schmidt,
Senator from Missouri.
Speaker 24: Here.
Speaker 2: It is something dear to your heart, dear to my heart.
Speaker 27: Secretary of Education Linda McMahon has now been tasked to
eliminate the Department of Education.
Speaker 2: Special ED is about to get slashed.
Speaker 27: Let's know what one Texas father of two boys with
special needs told me recently.
Speaker 24: I believe that with the loss of funding, it will
be very devastating to my boys, to all the parents
that are dealing with the need for the resources for
special education.
Speaker 2: Have a senator, I know you have a son with
special needs.
Speaker 27: I grew up in a family with siblings that have
special needs, parents that were teachers in this community. What
do you say to parents who are really scared about
their kids' futures.
Speaker 25: Yeah, I guess my message would be, don't believe media
reports like you're promoting right now.
Speaker 8: It's not true.
Speaker 25: There's the idea, which is a federal statute that guarantees
those services. And so whether that money then is going
to flow directly to the states or in different agencies,
the law is the law. There are protections that funding
is going to continue to flow. But what you won't
see is the Department of Education denying grant applications to
school districts across this country because they haven't implemented divisive
DEI trainings and divide the room by race, and so
the Department of Education is essentially a conduit for federal
funds that are going to con they need to flow
the states and important programs benefiting those with special needs.
So I think a little bit of truthfulness here as
opposed to scaring the daylights out of folks for in
vulnerable positions would be appropriate.
Speaker 1: O lies, They're lying, there's always this is allers they do.
Speaker 2: And when you have to lie in order to try
to get people to your side, how are you not
embarrassed by that?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 2: Well, is he not always embarrassed?
Speaker 1: Same thing goes for Social Security, Medicare, medicaids. We're taking
everything away from Grandma. I mean, this is what they're doing.
This is how they're doing it. This is why so
many people in those hands off protests were fifty and
over right, Well, a lot of them are paid by Soros, right,
But then a lot of them were like these decaying
like older people who think somehow that all of their
benefits are going to be taken away because they've been
brainwashed by the Left to actually believe it, because it's
fear mongering.
Speaker 2: Completely and totally. That is all it is. That is
all they have. Yep. And then if you want to
take a real look at how education, how poor we
are doing in public education with kids. This is an
unbelievable story of a girl who graduated high school with
honors and cannot read.
Speaker 3: Began her freshman year at the University of Connecticut in
Hartford this fall. She's excited to study public policy the
culmination of hard work after moving north from Puerto Rico
as a child. Do you remember when you first came
to Connecticut.
Speaker 20: Yes, I remember. I was very nervous, but I know
it was gonna be better opportunities for me to learn.
Speaker 3: But Alicia says those opportunities never came to fruition even today.
Speaker 2: Could you read this?
Speaker 3: Or would it take you a long time?
Speaker 20: It's in passive. I is seeing his worse everywhere.
Speaker 3: Alicia graduated for public school system last year, but she
says today she is illiterate. She still doesn't know how
to read or write. When she was an early education.
Speaker 20: They just either tell me who stay in a corner
and snee or just draw pictures flowers for them.
Speaker 3: And when she was in high school, she relied on
speech to text programs and other apps to read and
write essays. So if you had an assignment where you
had to write something.
Speaker 8: You'd open up a document like.
Speaker 20: This and then do what I would go here, So
you used the Texas peech says dictate thee. Yeah, I
love PISA.
Speaker 1: We have people in our comments that are saying that
this isn't real.
Speaker 2: It's like that seemed like a legit news story. No,
you know what I mean. No, it totally is a
legit news story.
Speaker 1: I actually taught at the college level and there were
kids who could not write and complete sentences.
Speaker 23: That was real.
Speaker 2: I did it for seven years. Believe me, it was real.
They could and she's been accepted to college. Right in
the world.
Speaker 1: There were kids, I promise you there were kids at
the college level that I had no idea how they
got into college.
Speaker 2: Not what it used to be. You guys, they passed.
They just passed.
Speaker 1: These kids they pass them. And it doesn't it doesn't
even surprise me that she graduated with honors and she
got into college. It's they just because they're lazy. They
were just like, Okay, we're just gonna go ahead and
pass this kid, pass it on to the next person.
It's like kick in the can.
Speaker 2: And the fact that she came to the United States
as a small child and still speaks as though she
got here a month ago. Right, It's unbelievable. It's just unbelievable.
The state of our education today, Charible and people who
defended shame on you. The reason for my name today
is because, as we mentioned earlier, there might be a
little olive branch extending happening between Megan McCain and Donald Trump.
As you know, you probably remember she has hated him
because of what he has said about her father and so.
And he obviously has made no secret in the fact
that he did not like or respect John McCain. But
here at Megan on the Stage Steel Show, talking about
how there might be some deruppling of the feathers right.
Speaker 28: After Christmas, bending on a text message from somebody in
the White House, and it was like a president as
a message for Megan, and I was like, what's a message?
And he wrote me a really lovely letter, signed a
tweet with like a really nice note on it. It
was a tweet I seed by the Panama Canal did.
I thought his dance on the Panemic Canal was really important.
I do think we should take it back. And he
was totally right, and he signed it and said like
thank you Megan. I don't remember exactly, so like thank
you Megan, thank you for your support, good luck from
President Trump or something like that.
Speaker 2: And I was like that's crazy, Like that's crazy.
Speaker 28: I remember being like, Wow, that feels like kind of
a little bit of a peace offering. We had like
messages sent through channels. They're very positive from the president
to me, and I was.
Speaker 2: Like, this is like wild. And then I asked Hulci
and she was like, he.
Speaker 28: Almost died, Like he's almost sassinated, he almost died. He
has like earblown off or you know whatever. And not
just her, but many people around have told me that,
like he has a different worlds view right.
Speaker 2: Now, believe all that he dits a different worldview. Yeah,
how could you not?
Speaker 1: You get shot in Agad, you get shot in the head,
you survive it, and after everything else before leading up
to that, two assassination attempts leading up to that, all
the crap that Liberals put him through and his family,
how can you not be changed? How?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's just interesting and it sounds like she's accepting
what she believes is a peace offering. So great, that's
that's awesome. I'm still not a fan of Megan, but whatever. Yeah,
I'm not a.
Speaker 1: Huge fan of Megan either, but it is very lovely
and it's lovely how he extended that olive branch.
Speaker 2: We need to think from yesterday Colleen Wilson, who said
this is a big tip for the big puppy. I've
been away on a military exercise for the past nine days,
very little sleep, driving home now and finally catching a show.
His big head popping up on Daisy just made my day.
He's done that a.
Speaker 1: Couple times today. So I don't know whether to apologize
or to say, you know, it is what it is.
You guys.
Speaker 2: People love him, people love seeing his big old head.
Speaker 1: I'm letting it happen. I'm gone with the floweh.
Speaker 2: She also said, aside from sleep showers, my husband, Kat
and Kitchen, I have missed you chicks the most. Thank you, Colleen,
which is very very sweet. And then also Lori Masamuro said,
I live in Connecticut. It's a story that broke, and
she is suing the Hartford School district. The poop is
hitting all the fans. Oh who is suing the Hartford
School District?
Speaker 1: I don't know, but my Hope is hitting fans. That
seems kind of who's she talking about? It seems serious.
Speaker 2: Story that broke. She is suing the Hertford School district.
Speaker 1: I don't oh the girl, the girl that wasn't that illiterate.
Speaker 2: I think that's who she's talking about. She's suing. I mean,
she kind of has a case.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know what I mean, I guess, but
I feel like it's a little bit ltitious too. If
she's asking for money after she's already used the system
to get accepted into college. You see what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: There's a she could ask for, like more help throughout
K through twelve, like her parents could have helped.
Speaker 1: I feel like, yeah, now she wants money from the taxpayers.
Speaker 2: I mean yeah, like that.
Speaker 1: There's a part of me that's like, seriously, now you
want money? Yeah that that that was to help to
help pay for college.
Speaker 2: That you didn't earn. This is I'm a little irritated
by that.
Speaker 1: But that's neither here nor there all ready, Okay, Teresa Raymundo,
Good morning, chicks.
Speaker 2: Have a great day.
Speaker 1: I took the preger U test and I'm not bragging,
but I got one hundred percent. I could be the
only in the test, and I still wouldn't win. Take
my mind, the only entry, the only only entry.
Speaker 2: If you want to win, you may win. Teresa were Root.
Speaker 1: Yes, Brian Brumley, Disney Adults is an oxy moron. Yes,
with the emphasis on the moron. Here's my support, Tariff. Yeah,
Shannon Pope.
Speaker 2: My first job was.
Speaker 1: Cooking fries in nineteen eighty nine and I made three
dollars and seventy five cents an hour, never once got burned.
Speaker 2: So maybe that idiot just sucks at her job and
shouldn't do it.
Speaker 1: It's a great point, Shannon, Mike Young, Good morning, ladies.
Quick question, Would you ladies ever have Jesse Lee Peterson
on the show.
Speaker 2: It would be great. He is a very very interesting character.
Speaker 1: Indeed, I have no opinion either way. I mean I
wouldn't not again, I have no opinion. Shelley Ettington. Kenny
Rogers said it best. You got to no one to
hold him, no one to fold him, and no one
to walk away, and no one to run Trump playing
poker like the gambler.
Speaker 2: I agree, Shelley.
Speaker 1: Karen SIRENCIONI don't knock being a Disney adult until you've
tried it. Nothing better than drinking around the world in Epcot.
Spent my fiftieth birthday there, so fun. I took my
daughter to over spring break and I enjoyed Epcot. But
that's different, I think, than being a Disney adult.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what does that mean? Exactly? A Disney is a
Disney adult.
Speaker 1: Disney adult is somebody who like goes to Disney like
five six times a year. They like get married a
Disney child, like without a child, right, They get.
Speaker 2: Married at Disney.
Speaker 1: They vacation at Disney. That's like they are couples that
like that's all they do. It's a little a little different.
I think it's a little and it's not.
Speaker 2: Just a lot of money because that's expensive.
Speaker 1: Chad's expensive.
Speaker 17: Uh huh.
Speaker 1: Tim Foolery aka Dances with Daisy just took the prager
U test. If I win the ten thousand dollars, a
ten percent commission will go to your Oh go to
you guys, till then take this sampling. Oh I got
one hundred percent on the test. Good for you, Tom,
Mike Young, Donald Trump, the Great White Hope Daddy is homeo,
Mike n Aaron nerm I I'm pronouncing that wrong.
Speaker 2: Aren't they. I pronounced it. I pronounced it wrong every day.
Speaker 1: I'm sure Schumer's use of a gape is like AOC
using big words she doesn't understand because she thinks it
makes it sound her sound more.
Speaker 2: Photosynthesis my money. I love that so much.
Speaker 1: Beggy Anderson, Happy Thursday, chicks. Thank God we have Trump, Yes,
thank god we do. I do think he's It's a
little divine and that's all I so many ways at
this point. Yeah, I totally agree.
Speaker 2: You guys. Bring it in. We're going to miss you tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Mop, We're gonna miss you. We'll do the best we
can without you, and then we will see you on Monday.
Speaker 2: You guys, I will see you tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Have a wonderful day.
