CBS Poll: 76% of Voters See Trump's Vision for America · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: So after you do a Say of the Union, the
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: question is didn't land with the American people?
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Well? Void did it? Ever?
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: CBS poll has come out and said that seventy six
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: percent approved of President Trump's address to Congress. I cannot
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: tell you how massive that actually is. The majority of
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Americans overwhelmingly supporting Donald Trump's decisions, and viewers who watched
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: it said, yes, we approve of what Donald Trump had
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: to say in his speech, which was the longest Say
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: of the Union ever to that joint session of Congress
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Tuesday night. Now, Trump boasted about the many accomplishments since
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: being inaugurated January twentieth, and exclaimed, we are just getting started.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Did the American people believe and support what the President
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: was saying? Yes, A whopping seventy six percent of those
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: watching said they approved of Trump's first second term speech
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: to Congress. And this is again coming from CBS News.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: One of the X factors of this is also just
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: how negative and honestly psycho the Democrats look. They wouldn't
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: even stand and clap when someone gets into West.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Point who had lost a loved one.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: They wouldn't stand and clap for a young boy who
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: has made a Secret Service agent. They wouldn't clap when
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: we talked about bringing actual terrorists to killed Americans at
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: ABU Gate to justice in the United States of America.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: And I'm going to have more on that list in
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: a moment.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: But that may be why the President landed this speech
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: so well, is because the American people could see just
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: how much the Democratic Party hates basic things that all
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Americans should be in favor of.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: It shouldn't be a partisan issue.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: If you have a president saying we're bringing terrorists to justice,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: it shouldn't be a partisans an issue. To stand for
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: a young boy who is fighting for his life with
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: cancer and surviving and then being made a sea you know, a.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Secret service agent.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: This is one of those moments that everyone should clap for,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: and yet the Democrats refuse to stand. So let's get
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: to the poll numbers and really break this down. Not
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: only did ninety one percent say that Donald Trump spent
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: time on issues they cared about, meaning that is a
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: speech that laid it. Look, I've gotten to help on
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: a couple of different State of the Union addresses. And
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: if you walked into the presence at miss President, we
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: just wrote you a speech that ninety one percent of
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: the country is going to connect with and say that
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: you you talked about an issue they cared about. Let
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: me just tell you, you would be a god in
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: the political speech writing world. Okay, I've never seen a
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: speech to my knowledge that rated afterwards at ninety one percent.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: That is the holy grail where one percent of the people
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: watching said, hey, you talked about something that I genuinely
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: cared about. Now, that is unbelievable on its face. But
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: then you go back to the other question, Okay, was
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: the speech something you watched for a long period of time.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: That simply comes down to an issue of entertainment. Are
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: you engaged? Is the president speaking to you or is
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: he talking about things that you don't care about? Well,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: ninety one percent said the president spend time on issues
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: that cared about, and then seventy four percent said the
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: address was presidential and also informative and entertaining.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: A total of seventy one.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Percent after that said the speech was inspiring to them. Now,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: let's go back to speech writing here and say the unions,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: when you're writing a speech like this, if you could
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: walk into any president say hey, I'm going to give
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: you a speech that ninety one percent are going to
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: say connected with them in a way. Seventy four percent
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: said that your address was quote presidential, and then seventy
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: one percent, mister President, said the speech was inspiring to them.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: That is, these are numbers that I would literally argue
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: are virtually unobtainable. Here's where it gets even crazier than that.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Sixty two percent of the people watching the speech last
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: night said it was a unifying speech. Now, there are
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: a lot of moments in there where the Democratic Party
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: didn't clap and refuse to clap for things that I
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: just mentioned. And when you look at that, the American
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: people noticed it and they understood just how radical the
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Democratic Party has become, how disgruntled they are, how angry
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: they are, and how they refuse to stand for anything
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: if there are Republicans involved in it, which is like
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: exactly what the American.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: People don't want.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Seventy one percent said they found the speech inspiring, sixty
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: two percent said it was unifying.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: And then here's the other part.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Half of Americans, right, we're very much a divided country.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Forty six percent said it was a divisive speech. Less
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: than half. That is an incredibly low number when a
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: country is divided, I would argue forty eight, forty eight.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: So what does that mean.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: It means the president connected with independent voters, and he
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: connected with actually a very large group of Democratic voters
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: or people that identify themselves as Democratic leaning. Now, when
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: asks how the speech makes them feel, and this is
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: about emotions and do you feel like the president is.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Connecting with you?
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: This goes back to that I feel your pain comments
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: that were made so famous back in the day, right, like,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: if the American people feel like you are listening to
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: them and that you are connecting with them, they will
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: tell you that number one, they'll trust you. Number two,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: they'll give you a longer runway to deliver on some
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: of your promises. And they also feel like you are
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: connecting with them and their real struggles in life. It
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: goes back to the basic issues like it's the economy stupid.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: So when you look at.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: CBS suits asked how the speech made you feel, sixty
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: eight percent of Americans said they watched speech that the
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: speech made them feel hopeful. So almost seven out of
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: ten Americans that watched speech said that president made them
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: feel hopeful for better times. Fifty four percent, which is
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: more than the Republican Party.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Conservative voters said that the speech made them proud, twenty
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: seven percent said that speech made them worried, and sixteen
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: percent said they were angry. Now, let's be clear about
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: what that could mean. The angry could be your angry
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: as a Republican that the government has been wasting so
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: much your money when the President was running through the
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: list of all the waste fraud abuse, right the anger
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: could come from you watching the Democrats that wouldn't even
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: stand for us capturing terrorists and bring them to Joe
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: like things like that are refusing to stand for a
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: child in a moment of grief that turned into an
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: incredible moment of hope, right Like, that could make you
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: angry that the left was doing that. So the angry
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: category to have that low of a quote angry category
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: is actually very good for a speech. Now, when asked
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: whether the president has a clear plan to battle inflation,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: and this comes back to policies, and it also goes
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: back to what I said a moment ago, it's the
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: economy stupid. When asked whether the president has a clear
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: plan to battle inflation, sixty eight percent said yes, and
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: thirty two percent said no. That means almost seven out
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: of ten Americans believe the president has a clear plan
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: to battle inflation.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: That is a home run now.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Respondents were also asked about Trump's plans for waste and
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: government seventy seven percent, so the number goes up even higher,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: almost eight and ten Americans like the plan.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Just twenty three percent dislike it. What does that mean?
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Democrats should pay attention to that number in office and
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: leaders of the Democratic Party and realized they need to
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: stop fighting against DOGE and embrace it because almost eight
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: out of ten voters seventy seven percent, so they like
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Trump's plan for stopping.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Waste in government.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Immigration and the border another example, seventy seven percent, so
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: they support the presidents Almost eight out of ten Americans
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: say yes. Ukraine and Russia and the President standing up
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: and saying We're not sending any more money, We're not
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: going to send you these arms. We want peace. Well,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Democrats thought that was an issue that would help them.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: It backfired massively. The President standing up to Zelenski, seventy
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: three percent of Americans that they were in favor of it.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: That's unbelievable.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Even on the issue of tariffs, these tariffs that the
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: presidents put in. Sixty five percent of Americans said they
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: support the president, and that means they're listening to the
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: president when he talks about these tariffs. Now, there's also
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: another issue of crime. Eight percent of Americans, so almost
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: seven out of ten voters said Trump described the country's
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: crime problem accurately, and seventy six percent said they approved
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: of Al Green, the Democrat, being removed from the chamber
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: after disrupting the President's speech. So all of the antics
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: of the Democrats last night backs fired in just the
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: most glorious way ever. Now, these numbers I just gave
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: you all came from CBS News, so they had to
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: have been on a suicide watch after they had to
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: report this as a news organization, because this is not
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: what they were hoping to tell you. If you thought
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: the Democrats were going to learn anything from Donald Trump's
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: speech or how America reacted to it with the incredible
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: poll numbers, well you'd be wrong, because they are all
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: now saying that they didn't do enough to disrupt the
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: President of the United States of America. Even ABC News
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: is Sunney Houston said all the Democrats should have walked out,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: ring Donald Trump's address that on the view saying the
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Democratic lawmakers should have I guess san Essence said, we're
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: standing with you. To the one man that actually was
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: booted from the night, Sonny Hostin said, you know, while
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: I didn't watch it, I was looking for signs of
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: an opposition party, which is what the Democratic Party must
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: be at this point, not a resistance because resistance is passive.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Opposition is active.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: I think that is what I saw when Representative Val
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Green stood up and said, quote, you don't have a
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: mandate to take away Medicaid.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: And he was tossed out.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: I expected the rest of his Democratic caucus, his colleagues,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: to walk out with him, because alone you can survive,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: but together you thrive. She went on to say later
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: in the program that quote, that is the energy that
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: we need. They should have stood with him in solidarity.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: We had Jean p Here on this show yesterday and
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: she said, we have to have a sense of urgency
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: as we move forward, and we cannot do it the
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: way we have in the past. This is not normal.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: It is a five alarm fire. And what I want
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: to say to the Democrats is you can't play by
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: the rules with a party that has thrown away the
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: rule book. You cannot do it now. This is coming
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: from the same people that tried to put Donald Trump
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: in prison and anyone else around him. They're the ones
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: that advocated for the raid of Marlago. They're the ones
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: that said that the people around January the sixth were
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: the same as terrorists that attack this country on nine
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: to eleven, you know, Sama bin Laden and al Qaeda.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: These are also the same people that are now actively
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: advocating for anarchy or another word, democrats obsessed over insurrectionists.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Now it seems that the Democratic Party is calling for
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: exactly that anarchy, insurrection, but not from people outside the capital.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: They're literally advocating for it by the people that have
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: been elected inside of our government. You may have also
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: seen during Donald Trump's joint address to Congress, the purple
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: haired congresswoman who went viral Tuesday night for scowling throughout
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: the entirety of President Donald Trump's addressed to Congress. Well,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: she decided it was not enough just to scowl at
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: the president all night. She even put out a special
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: video on x saying this.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: I was really stunned that the election was fought over
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: the cost of living and people families who live paycheck
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: to paycheck, concerned about it whether or not they were
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: going to be able to pay their bills, be able
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: to pay for the healthcare in some cases, even putting
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: food on the table. And the addressed tonight didn't address
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: any of those issues about cost of living and the
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: fact that people live paycheck to paycheck, and what we
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: ought to be doing and the Congress is to make
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: sure that we are helping people to secure an economic
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: future for themselves and their families.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: By the way, let's just hit pause there and go
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: what to the CBS poll numbers actually did tell us
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: about the speech.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: The people watching the.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Speech definitely believe that the president was actually talking about
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: those things. In fact, when askedor the President had a
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: clear plan to battle inflation in the speech, sixty eight
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: percent said yes, and it was a plan that they
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: could get behind. So what is she actually complaining about.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: She's complaining about the fact that Democratic Party lost the
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: last election. And that is when she tells you the
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: truth about how much she hates Donald Trump.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Keep listening.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: I found the speech to be vengeful, revengeful and instead
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: of being lifting the hopes and the aspirations of people
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: of the United States, of how we move forward as
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: a great nation that we are, what the vision for
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: our future was. It devolved into just vindictiveness and self
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: agilation on behalf of Donald Trump did not address the
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: issue of unchecked billionaires like his friend Ally and Elon Musk.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: It was not a speech befitting a great world leader
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: or a great president of the United States.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: So there you have it.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: They're angry about Elon Musk cutting their waist, their fraud
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: and their abuse. They're also angry to Elon Musk for
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: apparently being wealthy, but they have no problem with George
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Soros or any of the other billionaires on the left
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: that have been financing this type of quote anarchy and
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: revengeful vengefulness to quote her. So at the end of
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: the day, if you thought Democrats were going to learn
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: from their mistakes, apparently they're not at all, and that
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: may actually be a good thing for Donald Trump and
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: his agenda.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: So let's just go back to the other.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Big moment in the night for the Democratic Party, and
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: that was when there is a guy by the name
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: of Representative Al Green. He had unruly behavior that clearly
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: he had premeditated and decided to yell at the President
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: United States of America. He was warned that he was
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: breaking the rules. He obviously wanted to be kicked out
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: of the Joint Session of Congress. He was successful at
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: doing that, and now he is a leader and some
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: sort of hero for the left. So will anything be done?
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Now we know that the House of Representatives has moved
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: to advance the censure of Representative Algreen, that Democrat from Texas,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: after his behavior during Donald Trump's address to Congress on
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Tuesday night. The vote, though, shows that Democrats yet again
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: have learned nothing. It was a two eleven to two
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: oh nine vote. The House voted to move forward with
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: the censorship of Green after the House Sergeant arms escort
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: him out over his refusal to follow decorum during the speech.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Every member of Congress knows what that decorum is. House
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Speaker Mike Johnson interrupted Donald Trump's speech as Democrats began
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: exhibiting unrually behavior, and he warned them that they needed
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: to quote observe the House decorum, mister President. Members are
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: directed to uphold and maintain decorum in the House and
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: to cease any further disruptions. Johnson said that's your warning.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: When Democrats continued to exhibit the behavior, Johnson warned them
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: that the Chair was prepared to direct the Sergeant of
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Arms to restore order to the Joint Session. Members are
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: engaging in willful quoting, continued breach of decorum, and the
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Chair is prepared to direct the Sergeant Arms to restore
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: the order to the joint Session. Johnson told Green to
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: take a seat several times before directing the Sergeant Arms
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: to restore that order, and he was removed. Well, Democrats,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: they apparently think this is some brave and big and
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: bold moment, because all of the Democrats voted to say no,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: we're not going to actually enforce the rules of the House. Instead,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: we're going to say no to censuring one of our own.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: And in the aftermath of the incident, Representative Dan Newhouse,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: a Republican from Washington State, introduced a resolution a censor
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Green over his behavior. The resolution says, whereas the conduct
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: of represented from Texas disrupted the proceedings of the Joint
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Address and was a breach of proper conduct. And whereas,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: after numerous disruptions, the represented from Texas had to be
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: removed from the chamber by the Sergeant at arms. Now,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: therefore be it resolved that Representative out Green be censured.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: The Democrats were reported as having tried to table the
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: resolution known as House Resolution one eighty nine, but the
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: move to table ended up being rejected, and so that
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: is when the vote came in. So I go back
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: to what I said a moment ago. When you have
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: one hundred and nine Democrats that know that Algreen should
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: be censured for what he did, and they all stand
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: with them. Not only are they clearly out of touch
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: with reality, but they're incredibly out of touch with what
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: the American people want and what they care about.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: I go back to the CBS poll.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Seventy six percent approved of what Donald Trump said. More
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: than ninety percent said the President talked about a major
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: issue that affected their life that was important to them.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: The overwhelming majority said they trust the present when it
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: comes to cutting waste, fraud and abuse abuse would doeach,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: and they also approve of the President's plan to cut
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: the on issues like inflation. You look at Democrats and
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: what are they focused on disrupting a present that the
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: American people are behind with a massive mandate, and what
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: are they also in favor of?
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Well, if they don't get their way.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: They want to put you in jail, they want to
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: lock you up, they want to silence you, and they
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: want you to kick them out of the House of
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Representatives like there's some sort of heroes.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: I don't think the American people, however, are going to
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: fall for this at all.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: It's very important that you understand what's going on with
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump using tariffs to protect American lives. There's a
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: lot of misinformation out there about the President and the
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: tariffs that have just gone into effect, and I want
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: you to understand why. First off, the President is actually
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: doing this. You may not no, but President Joe Biden
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: did very little on fighting to protect Americans from FETNL.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: FETNAL smugglers killed roughly three hundred thousand Americans during his
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: time in office. That is exactly why President Trump has
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: quickly imposed painful tariffs on countries that are helping those
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: smugglers that killed again three hundred thousand Americans during the
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Biden administration.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: Quote.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: I determined that the failure of the Government of the
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: People's Republic of China to act to blunt the sustained
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: influx of synthetic opioids, including fetnel flowing from the Chinese
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: Republic to the United States constituted an unusual and extraordinary
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: threat to the national security, foreign policy, an economy of
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: the United States of America. That is what Donald Trump
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: declared in his March third Order. He also went on
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: to say this in recognition of the fact that China
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: has not taken adequate steps to alleviate the illicit drug crisis.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Section two A of Executive Order fourteen nineteen five is
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: hereby amended by striking the words ten percent and inserting
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: in lieu thereof the words twenty percent. The order is
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: titled Further Amendment to Duties Addressing the Synthetic Opioid Supply
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Chain in the People's Republic of China. Now, this isn't
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: the only place we're having problems when it comes to
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Americans dying because of the drugs that are pouring across
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: the open borders. Trump also posted trade penalties against Mexico
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: and Canada, where criminal gangs are producing more drugs for
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: export to the United States. Now, the vast death toll
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: from fetnol, much of which is manufactured in Mexico from
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: chemicals that were directly produced in China, is described in
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: multiple government reports. This is something that Biden administration knew,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: and they didn't care that three hundred plus thousand Americans
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: were oding. Yet Biden's countermeasures were, by the way, all
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: tactical when he did act like he was acting, and
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: he put little or no pressure on Mexico and China
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: to stop the killing of Americans. In part, Biden's deputies,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: including Border Chief my orchis they prioritize trade deals with
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: China and migration deals with Mexico over American lives. Let
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: me give you an example. In twenty twenty two, Biden's
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: deputies stayed mute when Texas Governor Greg Abbott uses power
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: over cross border inspections to force modest can sessions from
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: four Mexican regional governments. Unsurprisingly, Trump's efforts are being opposed
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: by pro illegal immigrant advocates who do not want to
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: recognize the huge death told to American citizens. For example,
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Aaron boy at the Washington Post wrote this, President Donald
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Trump's long promised tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: are due to going to effect Tuesday. This despite fears
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: that the taxes on imports could cripple the economies of
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: our two neighboring allies and negatively impact the US economy
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: as well by exacerbating inflation. You notice they don't care
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: about American families being ripped apart by these synthetic drugs.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: The New York Times wrote, for American families, the likely
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: result is higher prices nearly everywhere they turn, trying to
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: fear monger you that the grocery prices are more important
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: than your children's lives. They also want to talk about
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: car dealerships and electronics stores and iPhones and what you're
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: going to pay at the pump. The Wall Street Journal
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: even ignored the narcotics trade as it slammed Donald Trump's tariffs.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Good news is Donald Trump wasted no time responding to
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal criticism, saying this quote the teriff lobby,
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: headed by the globalists and always wrong. Wall Street Journal
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: is working hard to justify countries like Canada, Mexico, China,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: and too many others to name continue the decades long
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: ripoff of America, both with regard to trade, crime and
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: poisonous drugs that are allowed to so freely flow into America. China,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: by the way, is also rejecting Trump's focus on fetnols, saying, Oh,
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: it's not a big deal, calm down. The President of
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: the United States of America, however, is saying, yes, this
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: is a battle worth fighting. Why because it's already cost
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: the lives of more than three one hundred thousand Americans.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Peter Navarro, by the way, went on Fox News Channel
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: with Brett Bair to talk exactly about this issue of fentanyl,
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: including Canada and what's happened on the northern border, also
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: the Mexican cartels. I want you to hear what he
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: had to say about the President not backing down.
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: Tariffs are April second. What's happening now was triggered by
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: border and fentanyl. I understand all of that. But what's
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: happening is is now Canada is obviously hitting back. They're
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: taking the liquor off the shelves, They're they're threatening electricity
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: price increases. So they're hitting back and that people are
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: going to feel that we are taking off carmakers for
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: a month. There's a report that agriculture products are going
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: to be exempted.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: Do you have that.
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: I'm not tracking that now.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: No.
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: Okay, so we're making exemptions, but right now we're in
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: a bat but I think, look.
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: We're going to be in a period of adjustment where
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: when we impose the reciprocal tariffs, or when we impose
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: tariffs that are designed to save American lives, there's going
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: to be segments like you just had with mister Forov,
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: and they're going to rattle their sabers, and but I
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: don't want to contribute to that. What I want to
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: say to every world leader who gets up in arms
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: when all we're asking for is fairness and to have
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: them stop killing our people, is please listen to us.
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: Canada could do a lot more. Canada has been taken
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: over Brett by Mexican cartels. They bring up, they bring
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: up these pill presses and printers and the medicines.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: That they fake.
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: You can't tell the difference now many of our companies can.
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: You need a spectromer for it to do it. It's
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: crazy so and people are dying bread. It's been going
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: on for too long. And I'll give you another thing
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: just to make this point. It's like it all starts
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: in China, but then China brings these chemicals over in
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: fifty gallon drums, and you know what, when they get
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: to the ports, you know why that stuff isn't interdicted there.
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: It's because China owns the ports.
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: You have metrics that you're going to set that they
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: have to meet this and then the tariffs go away.
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: I mean, do we publicly know what that threshold is?
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: Well, there's seventy thousand Americas dying every year and that's
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: the low estimate because you don't pick up all the
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: deaths from the fake Xanta.
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: So you're putting them all in Canada's No, of course,
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: not of.
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: Course, not bread. But what we want to see is
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: Canada and Mexico crackdown on China. China for whatever reason,
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: and there's a lot of speculations whether they're meant mean
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: to do us harm with this.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: They don't seem to care.
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: Okay, so it's up to Mexico and Canada to help
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: us do this. And look, here's the other thing. The
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: fenol crisis is so toxic to our economy bread because
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: most of the people are dying their prime age working.
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: I think I think everybody's on board on the FED
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: threat and that fetanyl deaths. I think there are questions
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: about tariff policy that we're going to dig into as
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: it keeps on going on.
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: That's why I'm here, Peter.
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: We appreciate your time.
• 28:14
  Speaker 5: Thank you, Brank you, I appreciate the time.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: So you hear Peter Navarro there, and let's go back
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: to what he mentioned like three or four times, was China.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: Here's what China put out on X Today from their
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: spokesperson quote, the fetanyl issue is a flimsy excuse to
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: raise you of taris on Chinese imports. Our countermeasures to
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: defend our rights and interests are fully legitimate necessary. The US,
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: not anyone else, is responsible for the fetnal crisis inside
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: the US. In the spirit of humanity and goodwill towards
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: the American people, we have taken robust steps, China says
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: to assist the US in dealing with this issue. Instead
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: of recognizing our efforts, the US has sought to smear
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: and shift blame to China and is seeking the pressure
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: in blackmail China with tariff high. They've been pushing all
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: caps on US for helping them. This is not going
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: to solve the US's problem and will undermine our counter
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: narcotics dialogue and cooperation. China then said intimidation does not
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: scare US, Bullying does not work on US. Pressuring, cohersion
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: or threats are not the right way of dealing with China.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Anyone using maximum pressure on China is picking the wrong
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: guy and miscalculating. If the US truly wants to solve
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: the fetnal issue, then the right thing to do is
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: to consult with China by treating each other as equals.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: If war is what the US wants, be it a
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: tear for a trade war, any other type of war,
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: We're ready to fight till the end. Does that sound
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: like a country that is actually trying to stop the
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: flow of illegal drugs in the US now? Because they're
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: making billions and billions and billions of dollars in profits
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: making the chemicals for most these synthetic drugs and then
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: giving them to the cartels to make them in Mexico
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: and other parts of the world. There is no doubt
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: that China is the lead of the drug trade, especially
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: when it comes to these types of fake pills. They
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: know it, and that's exactly why Donald Trump is trying
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: to stop them and willing to add tariffs until they
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: finally stop killing Americans at a record rate. Make sure
