Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: I don't even know where to start.
- 0:03Speaker 2: There's a video that someone just sent me in Canada
- 0:06Speaker 2: and it made me just smile and laugh. Canadian liquor
- 0:10Speaker 2: stores started taking American liquor off the shells shelves, only
- 0:14Speaker 2: to put it right back on after Justin Trudeau cave
- 0:18Speaker 2: to Trump's demands. This is what winning looks like when
- 0:21Speaker 2: you put America first. Now, let me just start with
- 0:24Speaker 2: the tweet that got us here, so you're up to date,
- 0:26Speaker 2: and then we'll build it backwards.
- 0:28Speaker 1: So how all this kind of happened? President Trump?
- 0:31Speaker 2: And Canada's knew one point three billion dollar border plan
- 0:36Speaker 2: is the new thing.
- 0:37Speaker 1: Here is Donald Trump's tweet.
- 0:39Speaker 2: Canada has agreed to ensure we have a secure northern
- 0:42Speaker 2: border and to finally in the deadly surge of drugs
- 0:47Speaker 2: like fetnyl that have been pouring into our country, killing
- 0:50Speaker 2: hundreds of thousands of Americans while destroying their families and
- 0:54Speaker 2: communities all.
- 0:55Speaker 1: Across our country.
- 0:58Speaker 2: Canada will implement their one point three billion dollar border
- 1:01Speaker 2: plan as per Prime Minister Trudeau, and they will be
- 1:06Speaker 2: reinforcing the border with new choppers, technology, personnel, enhanced coordination
- 1:12Speaker 2: with our American partners and increase resources to stop the
- 1:17Speaker 2: flow of fetanel. Nearly ten thousand frontline personnel are and
- 1:23Speaker 2: will be working on protecting the border. In addition, Canada
- 1:26Speaker 2: is making new commitments to a point a fetanyl t zar.
- 1:30Speaker 2: We will list cartels as terrorists, ensure twenty four to
- 1:34Speaker 2: seven eyes on the border, launch a Canada US joint
- 1:37Speaker 2: task force to combat organized crime, fetanyl and money laundering.
- 1:42Speaker 2: I have also signed a new intelligence directive on organized
- 1:45Speaker 2: crime and fetanyl and we and we will be.
- 1:48Speaker 1: Backing it with two hundred million dollars.
- 1:52Speaker 2: Now, this is exactly why Donald Trump said I'm putting
- 1:56Speaker 2: tariffs and sign the executive action over the weekend on Canada, huh,
- 2:01Speaker 2: and on Mexico. There are a lot of people that
- 2:04Speaker 2: didn't understand the Canada aspect of this. So I'm going
- 2:07Speaker 2: to break it down a couple of different ways so
- 2:09Speaker 2: you understand why the Canada part was so important. The
- 2:12Speaker 2: worry was is that we were going to do a
- 2:14Speaker 2: great job of sealing up the southern border, and that
- 2:18Speaker 2: would make the northern border, which is much more porous,
- 2:22Speaker 2: more of a focus on from cartel's human trafficking fetanyl.
- 2:27Speaker 2: The list goes on on in prospective terrace to then use.
- 2:31Speaker 2: There has been fetanyl that is coming across Canna's border.
- 2:33Speaker 1: There's no doubt about that. That is a fact.
- 2:36Speaker 2: But when you seal up a southern border, which it
- 2:39Speaker 2: looks like we're going to be able to do that
- 2:40Speaker 2: in a major way, and we're sending a lot of
- 2:43Speaker 2: resources down there. And by the way, Mexico also caved,
- 2:46Speaker 2: and we'll talk about that in a moment. But this
- 2:49Speaker 2: is the reason why the Canada aspect of this is
- 2:51Speaker 2: important because what Canada would then become a place where
- 2:55Speaker 2: these people would look to then expand, and there was
- 2:59Speaker 2: also trade deficits with Canada, but this isn't really as
- 3:03Speaker 2: much about the trade deficit as it was about national security,
- 3:06Speaker 2: and it was getting a commitment from Canada like, hey,
- 3:08Speaker 2: you guys aren't going to look the other way any longer, Okay,
- 3:12Speaker 2: Like these drugs that are coming across are as dangerous
- 3:15Speaker 2: as the illegal immigrants coming across the southern border at
- 3:17Speaker 2: record numbers. Because the drugs coming across and the fetanol
- 3:20Speaker 2: that's killing millions of Americans or one hundreds of thousands
- 3:23Speaker 2: of Americans, i should say, is and the number one
- 3:27Speaker 2: killer of people in this country. I think it's forty
- 3:29Speaker 2: five and under now is fetanyl overdoses in America.
- 3:32Speaker 1: So we've got a problem here.
- 3:34Speaker 2: It may not be human beings coming across, but pills
- 3:37Speaker 2: are coming across. And every pill that's coming across the
- 3:40Speaker 2: lace with fetanyl is a killing machine in the United
- 3:42Speaker 2: States of America.
- 3:44Speaker 1: This is a problem.
- 3:46Speaker 2: You add then the compounding aspect that maybe people would
- 3:50Speaker 2: choose to not try to get across the southern border
- 3:52Speaker 2: anymore because it's easier to get across the.
- 3:53Speaker 1: Northern border with Canada.
- 3:55Speaker 2: And that's why Donald Trump said, Canada is now going
- 3:59Speaker 2: to implement a one one point three billion dollar border plan,
- 4:02Speaker 2: reinforcing the border with new choppers. Something wasn't there. That's
- 4:05Speaker 2: a good thing. Technology and personnel that wasn't there.
- 4:08Speaker 1: That's a good thing.
- 4:09Speaker 2: And also there's going to be a true cooperation, partnership,
- 4:13Speaker 2: coordination with our American partners, and increased sources to stop
- 4:18Speaker 2: the flow of fetnel. Nearly ten thousand frontline personnel are
- 4:22Speaker 2: and we'll be working on protecting the border. All of
- 4:25Speaker 2: these things are good for America. Does that mean that
- 4:28Speaker 2: we're at war with Canada? No, But the sad part
- 4:31Speaker 2: is It took Donald Trump threatening to impose and then
- 4:37Speaker 2: signing it so it would happen a twenty five percent
- 4:41Speaker 2: tariff to get either of these quote allies to do
- 4:44Speaker 2: the right thing. Mexico was not going to do the
- 4:47Speaker 2: right thing. Canada was not going to do the right thing.
- 4:53Speaker 2: And the only reason why Canada surrender and Trump wins
- 4:55Speaker 2: yet again. After this phone call with President Trump and
- 4:58Speaker 2: the Canadian Prime Minster Trudeau and anouncing this one point
- 5:01Speaker 2: three billion dollar border plan, which is really not a
- 5:04Speaker 2: lot of money if you think about it compared to
- 5:06Speaker 2: what we're sending to corrupt nations. And we're gonna get
- 5:08Speaker 2: into US eight in a minute. Holy crap, that's a
- 5:11Speaker 2: whole nother story. But you look at this, This was
- 5:15Speaker 2: a measured request by America. Trudeau also put out a tweet.
- 5:20Speaker 2: I'm going to read you what he wrote. He said, quote,
- 5:23Speaker 2: I just had a good call with President Trump. Canada
- 5:26Speaker 2: is implementing our one point three billion dollar border plan,
- 5:28Speaker 2: reinforcing the border with new choppers, technology and personnel, enhance
- 5:32Speaker 2: coordination with our American partners, and increased resources to stop
- 5:35Speaker 2: the flow of fetanel. Nearly ten thousand frontline personnel are
- 5:40Speaker 2: and we'll be working on protecting the border. You notice
- 5:42Speaker 2: that there, It almost sounds like I'm reading the same
- 5:45Speaker 2: exact tweet, just two different names change. That's how much
- 5:49Speaker 2: clearly Donald Trump wanted them to be on the same page.
- 5:53Speaker 2: Trudeau then says, in addition, Canada is making new commitments
- 5:57Speaker 2: to a point a fetanyl zar. We will list cartells
- 6:00Speaker 2: as terrists. Notice that is something new. Why did they
- 6:02Speaker 2: do it before? Hell if I know, But this is
- 6:04Speaker 2: why you have to try to use every piece of
- 6:07Speaker 2: leverage that you have. And clearly over Canada, that was
- 6:10Speaker 2: what Donald Trump understood, and it was tariffs to then
- 6:14Speaker 2: get Trudeau to do his damn job.
- 6:17Speaker 1: So now Canada's.
- 6:18Speaker 2: Following America's lead and lifting cartels as terris, ensuring twenty
- 6:22Speaker 2: four to seven eyes on the border, launch a Canada
- 6:25Speaker 2: US joint task force to combat organized crime, fetanol and
- 6:29Speaker 2: money laundering. I've also signed a new intelligence dirrective on
- 6:32Speaker 2: organized crime and fetanyl and we will be backing it
- 6:35Speaker 2: with two hundred million dollars. Propose tariffs, Trudeau says, will
- 6:40Speaker 2: be paused for at least thirty days while we work together.
- 6:44Speaker 2: Is this over for all intents and purposes? The tariff threat.
- 6:47Speaker 2: I think is over is long as Trudeau does it
- 6:51Speaker 2: the right way. It is sad that it took Donald
- 6:57Speaker 2: Trump doing this, But the reaction is this is not
- 7:01Speaker 2: just a victory. And there's people out there that like
- 7:03Speaker 2: another you know, I started the show by saying it,
- 7:05Speaker 2: are you tired of winning yet? And there's people that
- 7:08Speaker 2: are just looking this, looking at this through political eyes,
- 7:10Speaker 2: and I understand that there are people that are like,
- 7:12Speaker 2: you know, yeah, now he's bowing down to now you know,
- 7:15Speaker 2: this is another Trump win. Look, this isn't a Trump
- 7:17Speaker 2: win as much as this is a win for national
- 7:19Speaker 2: security and the safety of kids and grandkids who are
- 7:22Speaker 2: oding accidentally on fetanyl.
- 7:25Speaker 1: Yes, they are taking a pill.
- 7:26Speaker 2: It may be adderall, it may be riddling, it may
- 7:28Speaker 2: be oxy, it may may me coding, whatever it may be.
- 7:31Speaker 2: But people take these pills without the intention of dying
- 7:37Speaker 2: and oding, and so many of them don't even know
- 7:40Speaker 2: they're taking counterpitit pills.
- 7:42Speaker 1: They think it's the real thing.
- 7:44Speaker 2: So they think they're taking something that they become addicted
- 7:46Speaker 2: to or black market however you want to describe it,
- 7:50Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden they're dead because of
- 7:53Speaker 2: fetanyl lace pills.
- 7:55Speaker 1: That is.
- 7:56Speaker 2: I mean, you want to talk about the silent killer
- 7:58Speaker 2: in this country? Fetanol, well is the silent killer. It's
- 8:03Speaker 2: the worst terrorism this country's ever seen because we know
- 8:07Speaker 2: who's selling it, and we know who's bringing it in,
- 8:09Speaker 2: and we know where it's coming from, and they're not
- 8:11Speaker 2: stopping it. The Biden airits administration could care less. They
- 8:15Speaker 2: weren't going to fight this battle. And Donald Trump is
- 8:17Speaker 2: also a guy, and this goes back to what he
- 8:19Speaker 2: understands about addiction. You know, I go back to Trump
- 8:21Speaker 2: and one of the things that I have always related
- 8:24Speaker 2: with Donald Trump with is the fact that he drinks
- 8:26Speaker 2: dia coke. He didn't drink syc cooke because he didn't
- 8:29Speaker 2: drink liquor. I'm the same way. I got hit by
- 8:31Speaker 2: a drunk driver when I was young. That drunk driver died.
- 8:33Speaker 2: We live, thank goodness, And I could care less about
- 8:36Speaker 2: alcohol my entire life. It's not because I was an alcoholic.
- 8:41Speaker 2: It wasn't because I gave it drinking, and if I did,
- 8:42Speaker 2: that would have been fine. But it's just because I
- 8:44Speaker 2: saw how destructive alcohol is at a very young age.
- 8:48Speaker 2: When there's a dead body, you've got to walk over
- 8:51Speaker 2: that happened to me as a child. Donald Trump saw
- 8:54Speaker 2: alcoholism in his family. He has witness that destroyed people
- 8:59Speaker 2: around him. He has a genuine heart in a passion
- 9:04Speaker 2: for stopping people from dying on drugs. We should that's
- 9:08Speaker 2: not a political issue, by the way, it's not Republican
- 9:10Speaker 2: or Democrat, like, we should all agree that we should
- 9:14Speaker 2: do everything in our power to stop the flow of
- 9:16Speaker 2: drugs or coming in this country, especially drugs that can
- 9:20Speaker 2: kill you with you having no intent to die. I
- 9:26Speaker 2: talked to a mother recently in DC whose daughter took
- 9:32Speaker 2: and a pill that was adderall. She thought it was adderall,
- 9:36Speaker 2: and the daughter took it during finals week in high school.
- 9:42Speaker 2: A friend of hers had an adderall and she was like,
- 9:44Speaker 2: I want to I gotta stay up. I'm crammon for
- 9:45Speaker 2: I think it was sat or act that was coming
- 9:48Speaker 2: up on top of her finals and so she was like.
- 9:51Speaker 1: Trying to, you know, focus in.
- 9:54Speaker 2: By the way, ask any kid in college or high
- 9:56Speaker 2: school if they've barred a friends adderall or or most
- 10:00Speaker 2: will tell you the truth. Yes, during a finals week
- 10:02Speaker 2: or whatever, I've taken one daughter's dead. Can't get her back.
- 10:06Speaker 2: Why because the pill was laced with fetanyl. That is
- 10:09Speaker 2: a perfect example of what is happening in this country.
- 10:12Speaker 2: You have people that our lives are being destroyed because
- 10:18Speaker 2: of these little pills they think are not a threat
- 10:22Speaker 2: because they don't know what's happening. They don't know about
- 10:25Speaker 2: the fetanyl and it's costing kids their lives. And this
- 10:29Speaker 2: is why Donald Trump is going after that, not only
- 10:33Speaker 2: the cartels and saying their terrorist organizations.
- 10:36Speaker 1: And now he's convinced Kennedy the exact same thing.
- 10:38Speaker 2: That's good thing, that's harmony, that's what allies should be
- 10:41Speaker 2: working on. But he's also saying, I'm coming after you
- 10:44Speaker 2: because you are a killer. You're not putting a gun
- 10:47Speaker 2: to someone's head and pointing the trigger, but what you
- 10:49Speaker 2: are doing is giving them a pill that you know
- 10:50Speaker 2: is lace with it and you know wasn't probably mixed correctly,
- 10:53Speaker 2: and you know is going to kill a certain percentage
- 10:55Speaker 2: of the people that take those pills. The best way
- 10:59Speaker 2: I can describe it from the police officer that explained
- 11:01Speaker 2: to me is was this that these cartel members and
- 11:04Speaker 2: they are terrorists, you get a bag of these fake pills.
- 11:09Speaker 2: There is zero doubt in their mind when they're selling
- 11:12Speaker 2: those pills that some of those pills are are death.
- 11:15Speaker 2: Some of them are gonna be mixed better. But if
- 11:18Speaker 2: you put a ballpoint pen into an empty, equal or
- 11:21Speaker 2: splendid package and you pull it out, the residue left
- 11:25Speaker 2: in that empty package is enough to kill you. So
- 11:28Speaker 2: these guys are mixing the stuff in a bathtub or
- 11:30Speaker 2: in a plastic barrel. They don't care that some of
- 11:34Speaker 2: those pills are one hundred percent going to kill someone,
- 11:38Speaker 2: because they are cartels. They sell drugs, and they don't
- 11:43Speaker 2: mind if some of.
- 11:44Speaker 1: Their people die.
- 11:46Speaker 2: They're not making this stuff in a lab the way
- 11:49Speaker 2: that you know the real pills are made, and they're
- 11:51Speaker 2: not made the real pills aren't made with fentanyl. And
- 11:54Speaker 2: so this is how we got to this point. I
- 11:57Speaker 2: am so thankful this is happening. I'm lad that Canada
- 12:01Speaker 2: has come around quickly. This took less than thirty six
- 12:04Speaker 2: hours after Donald Trump announced it, less than thirty six hours.
- 12:09Speaker 1: This is what winning looks like for all Americans. There
- 12:13Speaker 1: are far too.
- 12:13Speaker 2: Many Democratic children, independent children, Republican children, grandchildren have died
- 12:19Speaker 2: from this stuff. Adults who have died from this stuff
- 12:21Speaker 2: and or from their kids with no intent to kill themselves.
- 12:24Speaker 2: These are terrorist organizations. They should be treated that way,
- 12:29Speaker 2: and I'm glad that the President is doing it. Let's
- 12:33Speaker 2: break down also the concessions and the agreement that has
- 12:39Speaker 2: also come from Mexico. Since we just covered Canada, all right,
- 12:43Speaker 2: so what was in there? What should you be excited about?
- 12:46Speaker 2: Number One, Mexico has agreed to take several actions to
- 12:49Speaker 2: address US concerns about migration exchange for this thirty day
- 12:53Speaker 2: delay in the tariffs so they can quote continue to negotiate.
- 12:56Speaker 2: The key commitments include Number one, increased border security. Mexico
- 13:02Speaker 2: has pledged to enhance enforcement efforts, particularly it's southern border
- 13:07Speaker 2: with Guatemala, to reduce the flow of migrants traveling north
- 13:10Speaker 2: through Mexico. Number two, a crackdown on smuggling networks. Mexico
- 13:17Speaker 2: committed to intensifying efforts to dismantle human trafficking and the
- 13:22Speaker 2: smuggling operations, which they've been more than happy to be
- 13:25Speaker 2: a part of the entire time that Joe.
- 13:27Speaker 1: Biden and Kamala Harris were in charge.
- 13:30Speaker 2: They also agreed to expand the migrant processing Mexico said,
- 13:35Speaker 2: all right, fine, we agree to increase the use of
- 13:37Speaker 2: programs that allow migrants to apply for asylum or legal
- 13:41Speaker 2: status in Mexico instead of traveling to the United States
- 13:44Speaker 2: of America.
- 13:46Speaker 1: Number four, they agreed to cooperation with the US.
- 13:51Speaker 2: Both countries, they said in their statement, all right, and
- 13:54Speaker 2: you can agree to disagree if you believe them or not.
- 13:57Speaker 1: But they are claiming that both.
- 13:58Speaker 2: Countries are committed to working more closer to manage migration
- 14:01Speaker 2: flows and share intelligence. Simply put, this is what Donald
- 14:08Speaker 2: Trump said we needed. We need to reduce a number
- 14:11Speaker 2: of migrants, illegal immigrants reaching the US Mexico border, which
- 14:16Speaker 2: was the primary concern behind the tariffs. And now it
- 14:19Speaker 2: looks like Mexico understands they better shut up and do it,
- 14:23Speaker 2: do it the right way. You're not dealing with Biden
- 14:25Speaker 2: Harris anymore. You're dealing with Donald J. Trump, and he's
- 14:28Speaker 2: not here to screw around.
- 14:30Speaker 1: He has a mandate. Now.
- 14:32Speaker 2: The thirty to delay is also the reason why Mexico
- 14:35Speaker 2: is so desperate for this, and they conceded so quickly.
- 14:38Speaker 2: It was they said, Number one, we need more time
- 14:39Speaker 2: to negotiate, right, and this is their spend in their country,
- 14:43Speaker 2: Like well, it allows us more time to work on
- 14:45Speaker 2: a long term trade solution without immediate economic disruptions. It
- 14:49Speaker 2: would have hurt Canada or would have hurt Mexico much
- 14:52Speaker 2: more than it would have hurt America in the short term.
- 14:55Speaker 2: It also was stability for businesses that we're putting a
- 14:58Speaker 2: lot of pressure on Mexico to get this done on
- 15:00Speaker 2: both sides of the border, because companies are relying on
- 15:04Speaker 2: cross border trade and they get a temporary reprieve. I'll
- 15:08Speaker 2: give you a great example of this car manufacturing. There
- 15:10Speaker 2: are cars that actually in the process of being put
- 15:14Speaker 2: together go back and forth depending on what's being done
- 15:17Speaker 2: to the car from Mexico in the US multiple times.
- 15:21Speaker 2: This allows for that stability, and this also is a
- 15:25Speaker 2: consumer price relief point because delaying the tariffs will help
- 15:29Speaker 2: prevent short term price hikes on imported goods from Mexico,
- 15:33Speaker 2: which Mexico, by the way, really doesn't want. America doesn't
- 15:36Speaker 2: want it either, but it's gonna hurt Mexico a lot more.
- 15:39Speaker 2: You remember when everybody was freaking out over everybody that
- 15:41Speaker 2: was dying over COVID and that was tragic. Do you
- 15:43Speaker 2: know the fetanyl like beats living crap out of those numbers,
- 15:47Speaker 2: and we shut down an entire world for that.
- 15:50Speaker 1: I just want to put that in perspective for you.
- 15:53Speaker 2: Fetanyl kills more people than COVID did, and we shut
- 15:56Speaker 2: down an entire world for that.
- 15:58Speaker 1: That is why you got to get this done.
- 16:01Speaker 2: Now, let me go back to Mexico real quick on
- 16:03Speaker 2: a couple more things delaying these tariffs. And this is
- 16:07Speaker 2: the reason why they desperately wanted to agree to all
- 16:10Speaker 2: this with Trump and delay these tariffs is because they
- 16:12Speaker 2: wanted to help prevent short term price hikes on imported
- 16:15Speaker 2: goods from Mexico. And the supply chain continuity was the
- 16:19Speaker 2: core point for Mexico that was going to crush them economically.
- 16:23Speaker 2: Industries depended on Mexican imports such as auto manufacturing, agriculture. UH,
- 16:28Speaker 2: they wanted to avoid an immediate supply chain disruptions because
- 16:32Speaker 2: they'd really not planned for it. And so when I
- 16:36Speaker 2: and I mentioned this a minute ago, these cars go
- 16:38Speaker 2: back and forth multiple times. Many cars are manufactured because
- 16:42Speaker 2: they'll bring part to be done in America, go back
- 16:44Speaker 2: across the border to get the rest of it done
- 16:46Speaker 2: and bring it back. I mean there's multiple car manufacturers
- 16:48Speaker 2: to go back and forth multiple times, multiple like multiple times.
- 16:53Speaker 2: This was going to have major pain for those manufacturers.
- 16:57Speaker 2: That is something that Donald Trump did not want to hurt.
- 17:00Speaker 2: These manufacturers or the workers or the consumer. Mexico really
- 17:06Speaker 2: didn't want to happen. And that's part of the reason
- 17:08Speaker 2: why I knew we had leverage. This also was an
- 17:11Speaker 2: issue I think of market confidence, and especially for investors
- 17:16Speaker 2: in Canada and Mexico. This is a dual thing here.
- 17:20Speaker 2: Investors in financial markets. They are now looking at this
- 17:23Speaker 2: as a positive sign. They don't like uncertainty, they don't
- 17:27Speaker 2: like volatility in the marketplace. They want this to be simple.
- 17:31Speaker 2: And if you look at Wall Street, you know it's
- 17:34Speaker 2: closed down one hundred and twenty two. That's like a
- 17:37Speaker 2: normal day of trading. Sometimes it goes up, stice it
- 17:39Speaker 2: goes down. It was a lot worse than that at
- 17:41Speaker 2: some points during the day. So there's a lot of
- 17:44Speaker 2: companies that like, Okay, we can finally take a breather,
- 17:47Speaker 2: we can relax a little bit, and finally. It signals
- 17:51Speaker 2: also what Donald Trump was wanting to get. It signals
- 17:55Speaker 2: a willingness for a real diplomatic solution rather than immediate
- 18:01Speaker 2: economic penalties for everyone involved, and that included the US.
- 18:06Speaker 2: But when these countries weren't doing the right thing, and
- 18:08Speaker 2: they were looking at the other looking the other way
- 18:10Speaker 2: on the feednel coming in and the human trafficking and
- 18:13Speaker 2: the drug smuggling in general and everything that was coming
- 18:17Speaker 2: across the southern.
- 18:18Speaker 1: Border and the northern border.
- 18:19Speaker 2: And I want to be clear, I'm not saying that
- 18:21Speaker 2: Mexico is the same as Canada on these abuses. Clearly,
- 18:24Speaker 2: Mexico is a much bigger abuse of this, but Canada
- 18:28Speaker 2: was looking the other direction as well. And Donald Trump's like, look,
- 18:33Speaker 2: I need commitments from both of you, because I know
- 18:35Speaker 2: when I crush Mexico, people are gonna look for another
- 18:38Speaker 2: way in and that's gonna be Canada. And you guys
- 18:40Speaker 2: aren't doing a very good job right now. I'm asking
- 18:43Speaker 2: for it to be on the same team, not look
- 18:45Speaker 2: the other direction, right Like, That's what I'm asking for here.
- 18:51Speaker 2: The crackdown on smuggling networks is also a huge victory
- 18:57Speaker 2: for safety because Mexico not only did they commit to
- 19:02Speaker 2: intensifying efforts to dismantle human trafficking and smuggling operations.
- 19:06Speaker 1: I think it's pretty clear that Donald Trump put him.
- 19:08Speaker 2: On notice quietly that if you guys, and we've declared
- 19:13Speaker 2: them a terrorist group, like these cartails are tarist groups,
- 19:17Speaker 2: like do you want a war? Do you want us
- 19:20Speaker 2: to actually go to war with these cartels? And you
- 19:24Speaker 2: have all of this carnage and economic sanctions and us
- 19:28Speaker 2: going to war with the cartels.
- 19:30Speaker 1: And I think Donald Trump was pretty clear about this.
- 19:32Speaker 2: He was fine with an all out war because he
- 19:36Speaker 2: needed to save this country.
- 19:37Speaker 1: Like this was an all out war.
- 19:38Speaker 2: He needed to save it, and the American people gave
- 19:42Speaker 2: a mandate to save it. The American people said save it,
- 19:45Speaker 2: and it was an all out war. There is no
- 19:48Speaker 2: doubt that Trump was willing to do this. Look at
- 19:51Speaker 2: what just happened. I talked about this and by the way,
- 19:54Speaker 2: you guys side note here. I started a new podcast
- 19:57Speaker 2: the morning of the inauguration. It's ten to twelve podcasts
- 20:00Speaker 2: called the forty seven Morning Update. It's a simple show
- 20:04Speaker 2: to tell you the three big things are going to
- 20:05Speaker 2: happen in the morning, so you know what to look
- 20:07Speaker 2: forward to that day from the Oval Office. I said
- 20:10Speaker 2: this on this morning show, and I said, you know
- 20:12Speaker 2: what's amazing about what Trump is doing this time compared
- 20:14Speaker 2: to twenty sixteen, is he understands who the liars are,
- 20:17Speaker 2: the scumbags are in our government. He understands who the
- 20:19Speaker 2: liars and the scumbags are in other countries. He understands
- 20:23Speaker 2: now how the game is played, and he is literally
- 20:26Speaker 2: walking into the room to destroy it all.
- 20:29Speaker 1: He is a human wrecking ball destroying.
- 20:32Speaker 2: Our government in a positive way, ripping it down, the
- 20:36Speaker 2: corruption and the career embeds in our government that aren't
- 20:40Speaker 2: working on your behalf. And he's going out and he's
- 20:43Speaker 2: fighting these fights. Whether it's Panama, whether it's Canada, whether
- 20:47Speaker 2: it's Mexico, whatever it may be. He's blowing up terrace
- 20:50Speaker 2: again Isis and caves for goodness sakes, and he has
- 20:54Speaker 2: a mandate to do it. He's not waiting to do
- 20:58Speaker 2: it because this isn't about negotiating. This is about protecting America,
- 21:03Speaker 2: putting America first and protecting our citizens, which is exactly
- 21:08Speaker 2: why he was elected. I said this on TV on
- 21:13Speaker 2: Fox SUTIONW the other day, and I meant it then
- 21:15Speaker 2: and I mean it now. I truly believe God spared
- 21:20Speaker 2: Donald Trump's life for this exact moment. In fact, I
- 21:25Speaker 2: think that it was a blessing that Donald Trump did
- 21:28Speaker 2: not win re election twenty twenty, because I think he's
- 21:31Speaker 2: done more in the first two weeks since the inauguration
- 21:35Speaker 2: on January the twentieth, than he could have probably done
- 21:38Speaker 2: a second term because seeing the corruption play out and
- 21:43Speaker 2: the extremism of DEI, and the extremism of the trans
- 21:47Speaker 2: gay radical agenda, and the extremism on our college campuses,
- 21:52Speaker 2: and the extremism of the people that become pro terrorists
- 21:54Speaker 2: on our college campuses, and the anti semitism, all none
- 21:58Speaker 2: of that would have come out out the way that
- 22:00Speaker 2: it did unless there was a Democrat like Kamala Harris
- 22:04Speaker 2: and Joe Biden in.
- 22:05Speaker 1: The White House.
- 22:07Speaker 2: I believe this was God's plan for this country, and
- 22:10Speaker 2: I believe that he said, Okay, I'm gonna let you guys,
- 22:14Speaker 2: if you know fall I'm going to let the American
- 22:19Speaker 2: people see you do your thing where you want to
- 22:22Speaker 2: mutilate young children, and you want to sexualize young children
- 22:26Speaker 2: with the books that you have in the schools, and
- 22:28Speaker 2: you want to cover up the crimes of the trans
- 22:31Speaker 2: of these trans individuals, and you want to normalize a
- 22:35Speaker 2: mental health issue.
- 22:37Speaker 1: And I'm going to take my hand off you.
- 22:39Speaker 2: You're gonna get to do what you said you were
- 22:41Speaker 2: going to do, and the people are gonna have to
- 22:44Speaker 2: have a moment where they decide what they want for
- 22:46Speaker 2: the future of this country.
- 22:48Speaker 1: And that moment came in.
- 22:49Speaker 2: Four years with the resurrection of Donald Trump, who, by
- 22:55Speaker 2: the way, in twenty twenty, no one political wisdom, No
- 22:58Speaker 2: one thought he was going to be back in the
- 23:02Speaker 2: White House. People that played the game, they were jumping ship.
- 23:06Speaker 2: Look at Mike Pence. Mike Pence on January the sixth,
- 23:12Speaker 2: what like January seventh, he was like, all right, I'm
- 23:15Speaker 2: out of here. When everything happened to the Capital, He's like,
- 23:19Speaker 2: this is my moment to separate myself from Donald Trump
- 23:22Speaker 2: in this administration because it's going down. It's a sinking ship,
- 23:26Speaker 2: and I'm jumping off. He got it wrong, by the way,
- 23:29Speaker 2: I think we all agree, but everybody in politics thought
- 23:32Speaker 2: Donald Trump was done. No one was thinking that Donald
- 23:36Speaker 2: Trump was going to ever get back to the White House.
- 23:38Speaker 2: I'm not even sure donald Trump thought he was get
- 23:40Speaker 2: back to the White House. But I do believe that
- 23:43Speaker 2: this is a moment that we are all going to
- 23:45Speaker 2: remember where Donald Trump is walking in there and he
- 23:47Speaker 2: is breaking everything because the American people authorize him to
- 23:52Speaker 2: do it, and he's not doing it. In some I
- 23:55Speaker 2: would argue, and the media is going to try to
- 23:58Speaker 2: hit him on this, but I think many people are
- 24:00Speaker 2: not listening to the media ever again because they know
- 24:02Speaker 2: the lying. We would have never known how corrupt the
- 24:05Speaker 2: media was if it wasn't, by the way, for what
- 24:07Speaker 2: we witnessed during COVID, the lies about the Hunter Byden laptop.
- 24:11Speaker 1: We wouldn't have believed how.
- 24:12Speaker 2: Corrupt the deep state was if it wasn't for the
- 24:14Speaker 2: fifty one Intel officials that knew that Hunter Biden's laptop
- 24:17Speaker 2: was real and they wanted to alter and change the
- 24:19Speaker 2: outcome of election, that is election interference, and they all
- 24:22Speaker 2: signed their name to a letter to a lot of
- 24:23Speaker 2: the American people. We wouldn't have known that without Donald
- 24:26Speaker 2: Trump losing.
- 24:27Speaker 1: Think about that. We wouldn't have known any of that.
- 24:29Speaker 2: Without Donald Trump losing, we wouldn't have known about all
- 24:32Speaker 2: the corruption with us AID staffers told to stay out
- 24:37Speaker 2: of their DC headquarters today.
- 24:40Speaker 1: Did you hear about this?
- 24:42Speaker 2: US AID staffers were told to stay out of DC
- 24:45Speaker 2: headquarters after Elon Muska Trump agreed to shut it down.
- 24:50Speaker 2: Just a quote ball of worms. And the Left is
- 24:55Speaker 2: like they're losing their minds right now because this is
- 24:58Speaker 2: actually happening. Listen to the White House Press secretary, this
- 25:02Speaker 2: is what we found with USA.
- 25:04Speaker 1: Listen.
- 25:04Speaker 3: These are some of the insane priorities that that organization
- 25:08Speaker 3: has been spending money on. One point five million dollars
- 25:11Speaker 3: to advance DEI in Serbia's workplaces, seventy thousand for a
- 25:16Speaker 3: production of a DEI musical in Ireland, forty seven thousand
- 25:20Speaker 3: for a transgender opera in Colombia, thirty two thousand for
- 25:24Speaker 3: a transgender comic book in Peru. I don't know about you,
- 25:28Speaker 3: but as an American taxpayer, I don't want my dollars
- 25:30Speaker 3: going towards this scrap, and I know the American people
- 25:32Speaker 3: don't either. And that's exactly what Elon Musk has been
- 25:35Speaker 3: tasked by President Trump to do to get the fraud, waste,
- 25:38Speaker 3: and abuse out of our federal government.
- 25:39Speaker 2: Nobody in their right mind is in favor of the
- 25:41Speaker 2: things that Carolin leve at the White House pres Secretary
- 25:43Speaker 2: just said.
- 25:43Speaker 1: There no one And.
- 25:45Speaker 2: Then this is the part that really makes me laugh.
- 25:48Speaker 2: The people that are in charge of USAID. They go
- 25:51Speaker 2: to the media like the media is going to save them,
- 25:53Speaker 2: and listen to their how nervous they are.
- 25:58Speaker 4: I talked to the security guard just in there. He
- 26:00Speaker 4: said he has been given specific orders to prevent employees
- 26:04Speaker 4: of USCID from entering the building today. And I just
- 26:07Speaker 4: find that to be absolutely ridiculous. This is no way
- 26:11Speaker 4: to govern, this is no way to treat public servants,
- 26:14Speaker 4: and this is no way for us to conduct our
- 26:16Speaker 4: foreign policy as a country. So I just had to
- 26:19Speaker 4: show up today see it with my own eyes, you know,
- 26:21Speaker 4: the chaos of this administration and just their attacks upon
- 26:25Speaker 4: public servants in our country.
- 26:27Speaker 1: I love how they act like they're do goods.
- 26:30Speaker 2: Donald Trump was given a mandate to get rid of
- 26:33Speaker 2: people just like you. He was given a mandate to
- 26:36Speaker 2: expose the fraud, waste, and abuse of our tax dollars.
- 26:40Speaker 2: Caroline Levitt going through that list of the abuse of
- 26:43Speaker 2: us AID as she described it, and everyone involved, by
- 26:47Speaker 2: the way, should be not only fired, I think some
- 26:49Speaker 2: of them should be investigated for this. My tax dollars
- 26:53Speaker 2: should not be going to the list that she gave
- 26:55Speaker 2: us a moment of go.
- 26:57Speaker 3: These are some of the insane priorities that that organization
- 27:00Speaker 3: has been spending money on one point five million dollars
- 27:04Speaker 3: to advance DEI in Serbia's workplaces, seventy thousand for a
- 27:08Speaker 3: production of a Dei musical in Ireland, forty seven thousand
- 27:13Speaker 3: for a transgender opera in Colombia, thirty two thousand for
- 27:17Speaker 3: a transgender comic book in Peru. I don't know about you,
- 27:21Speaker 3: but as an American taxpayer, I don't want my dollars
- 27:23Speaker 3: going towards this scrap, and I know the American people
- 27:25Speaker 3: don't either.
- 27:26Speaker 2: She's right, and that's why President Trump, supported by Elon
- 27:30Speaker 2: muss announced significant action targeting alleged misuse of federal aid funds,
- 27:35Speaker 2: and the key points are the closure of the US
- 27:38Speaker 2: Agency for International Development, known as USAID. The administration says, look,
- 27:43Speaker 2: we've initiated the steps to shut down usa citing insufficiencies
- 27:47Speaker 2: and mismanagement. Employees have been instructed to stay home, and
- 27:50Speaker 2: the agency's website has been taken offline. President Trump described
- 27:55Speaker 2: USAIGHT as being run by radical left lunatics.
- 28:00Speaker 1: I'm freezing the federal grants and loans.
- 28:03Speaker 2: An order was issued to pause federal financial assistance to
- 28:06Speaker 2: review programs for potential waste and abuse.
- 28:11Speaker 1: This is amazing, this is what we want. We are not.
- 28:15Speaker 2: An Elon Musk highlighted federal grants to all of these
- 28:19Speaker 2: different places.
- 28:20Speaker 1: Where it's clearly money laundering.
- 28:23Speaker 2: There is money going to people, and it's not actually
- 28:26Speaker 2: going to the people that they're claiming it's gonna help.
- 28:29Speaker 1: This isn't chaos.
- 28:31Speaker 2: This is the president paying off on what he was
- 28:35Speaker 2: told his job was from the American people, which was
- 28:38Speaker 2: a stop wasting my tax dollars. It's very simple, stop
- 28:44Speaker 2: wasting my tax dollars.
- 28:47Speaker 1: It's the same.
- 28:47Speaker 2: Conversation Trump had with Mexico's president announcing that hey, there's
- 28:51Speaker 2: gonna be the deployment of ten thousand troops to strength
- 28:53Speaker 2: in the US Mexico border that we're not gonna have
- 28:55Speaker 2: to pay for. By the way, liberals should be in
- 28:58Speaker 2: favor of this win over Mexico. You wan't know why
- 29:01Speaker 2: all the gun grabbers out there pay attention. Throw this
- 29:04Speaker 2: in their face next time they tell you they don't
- 29:06Speaker 2: like Trump. This also increased the US efforts to curb
- 29:09Speaker 2: firearm trafficking in and out of Mexico. So if you're
- 29:13Speaker 2: a gun you know grab er, If you're an anti
- 29:16Speaker 2: Second Amendment person, right you think guns are all bad, stick.
- 29:20Speaker 1: That in your liberal pipe and smoke it.
- 29:22Speaker 2: After this phone called President Trump Kenneth's Prime Minister Trudeau
- 29:26Speaker 2: announcing that nearly ten thousand troops will be sent to
- 29:30Speaker 2: safeguard the border under Trump's pressure, then Trudeau said, Okay,
- 29:35Speaker 2: I concede. Let's have a thirty day delay on US tariffs,
- 29:39Speaker 2: US Mexico joined force to come back crime and then
- 29:42Speaker 2: also will be formed and the flow of fetanol will
- 29:45Speaker 2: be stopped into this country as well. There's going to
- 29:49Speaker 2: be two hundred million that Trudeau is going to put
- 29:51Speaker 2: in towards a intelligence directive on going after organized crime.
- 29:57Speaker 2: Trudeau described it as a quote good phone with President
- 30:01Speaker 2: Trump VP vance on the tariffs in Canada. If the
- 30:05Speaker 2: Canadians are going to use their economic power to penalize Americans,
- 30:08Speaker 2: I think it's totally responsible for the American president to
- 30:12Speaker 2: say we're going to be that, We're done being taken
- 30:15Speaker 2: advantage of. This was never a joke. President Trump put
- 30:21Speaker 2: it this way. As president, it is my responsibility to
- 30:25Speaker 2: ensure the safety of all Americans, and I'm doing just that.
- 30:29Speaker 2: I'm very pleased with this initial outcome, and the tariff's
- 30:32Speaker 2: announced on Saturday will be paused for thirty day period
- 30:35Speaker 2: to see whether or not a final economic deal with
- 30:38Speaker 2: Canada can be can be constructed, Fairness for all and
- 30:44Speaker 2: safety for the American people. Now, I'm not trying to
- 30:48Speaker 2: grandstand here, but you want to know what Maggie looks like.
- 30:51Speaker 2: In the past two weeks, Mexico Cave, Panama Cave, Columbia
- 30:54Speaker 2: cave and as well as Cave, Canada panicked. Mass deportations
- 30:58Speaker 2: are happening, hostages are home. DEI programs have ended, bureaucracy
- 31:02Speaker 2: has been slashed, FBI purge is underwaysa usaid funding canceled,
- 31:09Speaker 2: gender ideology eliminated. Doge has already saved you billions of
- 31:14Speaker 2: your tax dollars. Fifty one Intel agents that lied to
- 31:18Speaker 2: you about the Underby laptop lost their clearance, and border
- 31:23Speaker 2: crossings have dropped by ninety three percent. Hell, even Donald
- 31:27Speaker 2: Trump turned the water back on in California, where the
- 31:29Speaker 2: reservoirs fill back up. You know what it winning looks like.
- 31:34Speaker 2: I mean this, If you're a liberal and I just
- 31:36Speaker 2: gave you that list, how are you not a How
- 31:39Speaker 2: are you not a fan of Donald Trump? Right now,
- 31:41Speaker 2: make sure you share this podcast please wherever you can,
- 31:45Speaker 2: and I'll see you back here tomorrow.
