Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: So the Democratic Party as a traditional party is in
- 0:06Speaker 1: shambles right now. But this may actually be by design.
- 0:12Speaker 1: There are a lot of people that are saying that
- 0:13Speaker 1: the Democratic Party has never been this bad off. They
- 0:16Speaker 1: don't know who their leader is, for example, and in theory,
- 0:20Speaker 1: that's bad news. But could all this be done on
- 0:25Speaker 1: purpose and done for a reason that is actually one
- 0:29Speaker 1: that makes a lot of sense. Is the Democratic Party,
- 0:34Speaker 1: which I believe is already dead now, completely taken over
- 0:38Speaker 1: by socialists and Marxist and communists. Is that Democratic Party
- 0:43Speaker 1: ready to have what I would refer to as a
- 0:46Speaker 1: coming out moment to the American people?
- 0:49Speaker 2: Are they ready to say we are socialists.
- 0:52Speaker 1: We are communists, we are no longer democrats. That party
- 0:57Speaker 1: is dead. This is what we are are now. If
- 1:02Speaker 1: you look at what AOC has become, she is a
- 1:06Speaker 1: communist leader, Bernie Sanders walking around with her doing these
- 1:11Speaker 1: big events.
- 1:12Speaker 2: This is a guy that is a declared socialist.
- 1:15Speaker 1: This is a guy that went on his honeymoon to Russia,
- 1:20Speaker 1: Russia when it was still hardcore ussr Russia. You look
- 1:27Speaker 1: at what he's doing and I think it's actually very
- 1:30Speaker 1: clear his objective, his goal, his goal, his objective is
- 1:36Speaker 1: to say to all of his Bernie supporters, this is
- 1:41Speaker 1: our future. AOC is the future I'm getting older. In
- 1:45Speaker 1: other words, it's his legacy.
- 1:48Speaker 2: Now, if you think.
- 1:49Speaker 1: About Bernie Sanders, I actually appreciate him.
- 1:54Speaker 2: And let me explain what I mean by that.
- 1:56Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders has been Bernie Sanders a broker for as
- 2:01Speaker 1: long as I can remember. He doesn't lie to you.
- 2:04Speaker 1: He doesn't tell you that he's not a socialist. He
- 2:07Speaker 1: tells you I'm a declared socialist.
- 2:09Speaker 2: He's proud of it.
- 2:11Speaker 1: He doesn't try to act like he's some sort of democrat.
- 2:15Speaker 1: He's like, no, no, no, I'm a socialist, like that's who
- 2:17Speaker 1: I am. And I actually appreciate that because I think
- 2:20Speaker 1: there's some real authentic you know, like self awareness. I
- 2:26Speaker 1: don't like being lied to is another way of putting
- 2:29Speaker 1: it by politicians. One of the reasons why I love AOC,
- 2:33Speaker 1: and let me explain this very carefully so you understand
- 2:36Speaker 1: I'm not advocating for what she believes in, is I
- 2:39Speaker 1: think she is absolutely brilliant for the conservative movement because
- 2:43Speaker 1: she's willing to say out loud what other Democrats are
- 2:48Speaker 1: not willing to say out loud in public. She will
- 2:52Speaker 1: say the crazy socialists and Marxist things. She will come
- 2:56Speaker 1: out and tell you she believes that illegal immigrant should
- 2:59Speaker 1: be put a head of American citizens. Like this is
- 3:04Speaker 1: the part that people need to understand about why I
- 3:07Speaker 1: think they are so valuable, Why I believe that not
- 3:12Speaker 1: only are they so valuable, but they actually are going
- 3:15Speaker 1: to remind the American people that this is where this
- 3:20Speaker 1: party wants to go. They want to take us into
- 3:23Speaker 1: socialism and Marxism and communism. They're not lying about it,
- 3:28Speaker 1: They're not holding back on it. This is truly what
- 3:31Speaker 1: they believe.
- 3:33Speaker 2: Now, the other question is is America ready for this?
- 3:37Speaker 1: Why have Democrats for the last I would argue decade,
- 3:40Speaker 1: and I mean this when I say it, I believe
- 3:42Speaker 1: the Democratic Party is in fact dead. Why is the
- 3:45Speaker 1: Democratic Party not told you that they're socialists and Marxists
- 3:48Speaker 1: because and communists? Because they thought the American people couldn't
- 3:53Speaker 1: handle it. They thought the American people just really honestly
- 4:00Speaker 1: couldn't handle and wouldn't elect someone that's like, yes, I
- 4:04Speaker 1: am a socialist, Yes I am a communist, Yes I
- 4:09Speaker 1: am a Marxist. Now there's something else that's interesting about
- 4:14Speaker 1: all of this, and that is the freak out by
- 4:16Speaker 1: the media, because the media is losing their minds right now,
- 4:20Speaker 1: and they're losing their minds because they're ready for whatever
- 4:23Speaker 1: the leadership is going to be of the Democratic Party
- 4:26Speaker 1: to actually be the leadership of the Democratic Party. CNN
- 4:31Speaker 1: this past week is a great example of this. We're
- 4:34Speaker 1: talking about how the Democratic Party is in total disarray.
- 4:39Speaker 1: It's in shocking disarray, and the numbers just clearly show
- 4:44Speaker 1: how bad it's become. Now this is when I say,
- 4:48Speaker 1: before you celebrate it too much, realize what they actually may.
- 4:52Speaker 2: Be doing here.
- 4:53Speaker 1: What I think they're actually doing here is they're telling
- 4:56Speaker 1: you that the Democratic.
- 4:57Speaker 2: Party is dead.
- 5:00Speaker 1: We are the Communist Party, the Party of AOC, the
- 5:04Speaker 1: party of Bernie Sanders. You look at Dick Durbin, he
- 5:08Speaker 1: said he's not running for reelection. Why is he not
- 5:13Speaker 1: running for reelection? Because I do believe he understands that
- 5:17Speaker 1: this is where the party's going.
- 5:20Speaker 2: And he understands even more than that, he.
- 5:23Speaker 1: Understands that he doesn't want to be a part of
- 5:27Speaker 1: the hardcore socialists or the hardcore Marxist like that's not
- 5:34Speaker 1: what he wants to become.
- 5:36Speaker 2: He would rather leave than be a part of that.
- 5:41Speaker 1: I think he is a true democrat, is a liberal Democrat, yes,
- 5:45Speaker 1: but I don't believe he would consider himself a Marxist
- 5:48Speaker 1: or a socialist or a Commist, and he's sure as
- 5:50Speaker 1: hell would never want at the end of his career,
- 5:52Speaker 1: I think, to declare that that's what he is, Which
- 5:55Speaker 1: is why you say.
- 5:56Speaker 2: Okay, I'm out.
- 5:58Speaker 1: I'm willing to walk away, I'm willing to look the
- 6:01Speaker 1: other way. I'm willing to say I'm going to move on,
- 6:05Speaker 1: Which brings me to my other point. Is this a
- 6:08Speaker 1: moment that we could get caught up in to celebrate
- 6:12Speaker 1: the demise the Democratic Party when in reality, what they're
- 6:14Speaker 1: doing here is staging a coup from within the party
- 6:19Speaker 1: to then come out and now the Democratic Party is
- 6:22Speaker 1: no longer the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party is a
- 6:26Speaker 1: reinvented socialist Marxist communist party, which should scare.
- 6:29Speaker 2: The hell out of everybody.
- 6:31Speaker 1: If we normalize this, if we normalize socialism, and we
- 6:36Speaker 1: normalize communism and Marxism and the Democratic Party disappears again.
- 6:42Speaker 1: You may say this is amazing.
- 6:45Speaker 2: It's not. It's actually scary as hell.
- 6:48Speaker 1: Here is one of the lines that CNN used to
- 6:51Speaker 1: describe what's happening within the Democratic Party. And notice they
- 6:54Speaker 1: use the word revolt. Revolt is their keyword. Why do
- 6:59Speaker 1: they say revolt? They say it because maybe they want
- 7:05Speaker 1: the Democratic Party to be dead as well. Maybe they say,
- 7:09Speaker 1: we're all in favor of the Democratic Party having a
- 7:14Speaker 1: massive revolt. We don't like the Democratic Party. That could
- 7:19Speaker 1: be it.
- 7:21Speaker 2: It could all actually be, as I describe it, a fix.
- 7:23Speaker 2: It could be a ruse.
- 7:26Speaker 1: We plan this, we wanted this, we decided that this
- 7:31Speaker 1: is what we wanted, and now this is our role
- 7:33Speaker 1: out because we have to, of course be careful.
- 7:36Speaker 3: Yeah, this I think is a revolt, a revolt that
- 7:40Speaker 3: is going on within the Democratic Party right now. Democrats
- 7:43Speaker 3: and their leaders, I mean, take a look nationally, hello,
- 7:46Speaker 3: Democrats on Demo leaders in Congress, the belief that they
- 7:49Speaker 3: will do the right thing when it comes to the economy.
- 7:51Speaker 3: Last year, at this time, eighty percent believe that the
- 7:54Speaker 3: Democratic leaders in Congress would do the right thing when
- 7:56Speaker 3: it comes.
- 7:56Speaker 2: To the economy.
- 7:57Speaker 3: And keep in mind this as Democrats look at where
- 7:59Speaker 3: we are now has been slashed in.
- 8:01Speaker 2: Half to just thirty nine percent, holy thirty nine percent.
- 8:06Speaker 2: What are they telling you.
- 8:08Speaker 1: They're telling you that the Democratic Party needs a makeover.
- 8:12Speaker 2: How do you sell a makeover?
- 8:14Speaker 1: You tell them the Democratic Party right now is a disaster,
- 8:16Speaker 1: so therefore you need that makeover.
- 8:20Speaker 2: This is what I'm worried about.
- 8:23Speaker 1: While we may have won this election, the fight to
- 8:25Speaker 1: restore our great nation is only beginning, and now is
- 8:28Speaker 1: the time to take a stand, and Patriot Mobile is
- 8:31Speaker 1: leading the charge. It has never been easier to switch
- 8:35Speaker 1: your cell phone than in twenty twenty five. With technology,
- 8:38Speaker 1: you can do it literally over the phone with a
- 8:41Speaker 1: code they send you. It is amazing. But here's the
- 8:45Speaker 1: reason why I'm I use Patriot Mobile now. One I
- 8:48Speaker 1: save money over what I was paying before with Big Mobile,
- 8:51Speaker 1: and two, I'm no longer supporting the radical left now.
- 8:54Speaker 1: I didn't realize until someone told me just how radical
- 8:57Speaker 1: Big Mobile had gotten. Where they are suporting organizations that
- 9:01Speaker 1: pay for abortions or supporting radical democratic causes and organizations
- 9:05Speaker 1: they're helping Democrats get elect it at the local, state
- 9:08Speaker 1: and national level. That is actually why, over a decade
- 9:11Speaker 1: ago Patriot Mobile was started and they are now America's
- 9:15Speaker 1: only Christian conservative wireless provider.
- 9:18Speaker 2: Now, let's talk about coverage.
- 9:20Speaker 1: In twenty twenty five, you have zero problems with coverage anymore,
- 9:24Speaker 1: because well, Patriot Mobile uses all three major networks.
- 9:28Speaker 2: What does that mean for you?
- 9:29Speaker 1: It means whatever coverage you're used to now, you're going
- 9:32Speaker 1: to stay exactly the same, or you may even be
- 9:35Speaker 1: able to improve it, but it will not be any
- 9:37Speaker 1: issues when it comes to coverage. In fact, they have
- 9:40Speaker 1: a coverage guarantee. But when you pay your bill, this
- 9:43Speaker 1: is where the magic happens. They take a portion of
- 9:46Speaker 1: your bill every month and they give it back to
- 9:48Speaker 1: organizations that support our first and our second amendments that
- 9:52Speaker 1: support the sanctity of life, that support our veterans, our
- 9:55Speaker 1: first responders, and are wounded warriors. And like I said,
- 9:59Speaker 1: switch with technology now has never been easier. You keep
- 10:03Speaker 1: your same phone you have now, keep your same phone number,
- 10:05Speaker 1: and you can even upgrade to a new phone if
- 10:07Speaker 1: you want to. They have a one hundred percent US
- 10:10Speaker 1: based customer support team to help you find the perfect
- 10:13Speaker 1: plan and to save money. And if you own a
- 10:16Speaker 1: business or a small business, they have a division that
- 10:18Speaker 1: just works on switching multiple lines over easily. So right now,
- 10:22Speaker 1: go to Patriotmobile dot com slash Ferguson or call them
- 10:28Speaker 1: nine to seven to two Patriot. You're going to get
- 10:30Speaker 1: a free month of service with the promo code Ferguson.
- 10:33Speaker 1: So switch to Patriot Mobile and make a difference with
- 10:35Speaker 1: every call you make Patriot Mobile dot com slash Ferguson
- 10:40Speaker 1: or nine to seven.
- 10:41Speaker 2: To two Patriot.
- 10:42Speaker 1: We've got new pulling numbers that are out and this
- 10:47Speaker 1: directly relates to the one hundred day mark of President
- 10:50Speaker 1: Donald Trump's second term in office. There is some data
- 10:56Speaker 1: here that is concerning There's all some data here that'll
- 11:01Speaker 1: make you smile, and there's also data here that you
- 11:04Speaker 1: put in perspective comparing it to the Democratic Party's polling numbers,
- 11:10Speaker 1: and you're gonna be like, all right, now, I get it. Now,
- 11:13Speaker 1: I understand Donald Trump is still winning, but are tariffs
- 11:20Speaker 1: dampening where he could be when it comes to his
- 11:23Speaker 1: approval rating.
- 11:25Speaker 2: Well, let's take a look at these poll numbers. Now,
- 11:27Speaker 2: when near only one.
- 11:28Speaker 1: Hundred days into tru the Trump administration, the American people
- 11:32Speaker 1: still want deportations at a very high rate. There's a
- 11:37Speaker 1: new CBS pull out and here's the question that was asked,
- 11:41Speaker 1: do you approve or disapprove of the Trump administration's program
- 11:46Speaker 1: to find and deport immigrants.
- 11:48Speaker 2: They didn't even use the word illegals.
- 11:50Speaker 1: Okay, they use the word immigrants who are in the
- 11:53Speaker 1: US illegally. I love how they like, you know, make
- 11:56Speaker 1: sure they pc this question for people. Fifty six percent
- 12:00Speaker 1: approve while just forty four percent disapproved, as a twelve
- 12:05Speaker 1: point advantage.
- 12:06Speaker 2: So what is a takeaway from this part of the poll?
- 12:09Speaker 1: Number One, if you're Donald Trump in the White House
- 12:12Speaker 1: and his administration, you should be all over deporting a
- 12:16Speaker 1: legal immigrants as fast as you possibly can, because it's
- 12:19Speaker 1: very clear there is a massive mandate for you to
- 12:23Speaker 1: do exactly that. If there's a issue to lead on,
- 12:28Speaker 1: is another way of putting it. This is the issue
- 12:31Speaker 1: that I would lead on.
- 12:32Speaker 2: Now.
- 12:33Speaker 1: There's also the other part of this story, which is
- 12:35Speaker 1: that Democrats are in disarray right now. It's a very
- 12:38Speaker 1: interesting headline comparing where we are one hundred days in
- 12:42Speaker 1: Democrats Republicans.
- 12:44Speaker 2: What are Democrats doing right now? They're using the.
- 12:48Speaker 1: F bomb with increased certainty instead of actually giving ideas.
- 12:54Speaker 1: They're increasingly being replaced ideas with just profanity and anger
- 13:01Speaker 1: by Democrats, says.
- 13:02Speaker 2: The midterms are just around the corner.
- 13:05Speaker 1: Democratic candidates are dropping f bombs and other expletives in
- 13:08Speaker 1: their ads and in their appearances.
- 13:12Speaker 2: The trend, by the way, is not limited to campaigns.
- 13:15Speaker 1: Certain words such as aas or im pissd off, previously
- 13:22Speaker 1: unheard for decades in the Capitol, are making their way
- 13:26Speaker 1: into speeches on the floor of Congress by lawmakers. One lawmaker,
- 13:32Speaker 1: Texas Democrat, Jasmine Crockett, has drawn extensive media coverage as
- 13:37Speaker 1: she forged a reputation using the kind of language one
- 13:40Speaker 1: expects to hear, well if you're in a gunfight, but
- 13:45Speaker 1: that's not exactly what she's in.
- 13:47Speaker 2: Instead, she's just dropping bombs left and right.
- 13:51Speaker 1: So you look at where the Democratic Party is right now,
- 13:54Speaker 1: and then.
- 13:54Speaker 2: You look at these approval ratings.
- 13:57Speaker 1: Now, if we're just say and if the trum administration
- 14:01Speaker 1: are deciding, like, hey, what should we be focusing on
- 14:03Speaker 1: one hundred days in clearly the number one issue would
- 14:05Speaker 1: be immigration because that's where they have this big margin.
- 14:08Speaker 1: They should be excited. But that means you've got to
- 14:11Speaker 1: look at everything else as well. So let's talk about
- 14:13Speaker 1: some of the other perspective points here that make me.
- 14:16Speaker 2: Concerned Donald Trump.
- 14:18Speaker 1: ABC News is reporting today has the lowest one hundred
- 14:22Speaker 1: day job approval rating of any president in the past
- 14:25Speaker 1: eighty years. Why there's a lot of pushback of his policies.
- 14:33Speaker 1: By the way, most of it is coming from the.
- 14:35Speaker 2: Issue of tariffs.
- 14:37Speaker 1: Now, you can also put this in perspective and as
- 14:40Speaker 1: an asterisk next to ABC News's headline, and let me
- 14:44Speaker 1: explain why I'm not as concerned after looking at the data.
- 14:49Speaker 2: The initial headline is concerning right, one hundred day.
- 14:52Speaker 1: Job approval rating, it's the lowest of any president in
- 14:54Speaker 1: the past eighty years.
- 14:56Speaker 2: Well, why is that?
- 14:58Speaker 1: Could it be because this president is a actually taking
- 15:00Speaker 1: on the tough issues.
- 15:01Speaker 2: Instead of saying.
- 15:02Speaker 1: I'm going to punt and kick the football down the road,
- 15:06Speaker 1: I'm going to kick the can down the road. I'm
- 15:07Speaker 1: not going to cover or work on tough issues early
- 15:10Speaker 1: on because there's a lot of candidates that are wiss.
- 15:13Speaker 1: They won't touch things like doing what Donald Trump's doing
- 15:16Speaker 1: right now with tariffs. They it would be quote too hard,
- 15:19Speaker 1: or they would spend too much political capital where they
- 15:21Speaker 1: don't want to see their approval rating go up or down. Right,
- 15:24Speaker 1: They just want to be where they were when they
- 15:26Speaker 1: got into office. So part of it is actually, I
- 15:30Speaker 1: think a good thing. That means with confirmation that Donald
- 15:33Speaker 1: Trump is taking on the hard issues, the tough issues. Now,
- 15:38Speaker 1: the reason why he has approval rating is lower in
- 15:41Speaker 1: the first hundred days than any other present in the
- 15:43Speaker 1: past eighty years is because of the economic concerns, discontent,
- 15:50Speaker 1: the fear of a recession that coming from ABC News,
- 15:55Speaker 1: Washington Posts pull. Now here's the perspective ass respect of.
- 16:00Speaker 2: This that I was talking about a moment ago.
- 16:03Speaker 1: You put all that into a basket, and then you
- 16:06Speaker 1: compare it to the Democratic Party, and he still beats
- 16:10Speaker 1: the Democrats in Congress in terms of trust to handle
- 16:13Speaker 1: the nation's biggest problems. Thirty nine percent of respondents in
- 16:19Speaker 1: the same poll said they approve of how Trump is
- 16:22Speaker 1: handling his job as president. That's down six points from February.
- 16:26Speaker 1: Fifty five percent say they disapprove. Yet he still beats
- 16:29Speaker 1: Democrats in Congress in terms of who the American people trust.
- 16:33Speaker 2: To handle our biggest issues.
- 16:36Speaker 1: Now, you go back to the high note here, President
- 16:40Speaker 1: Trump's got a plus twelve in the polling on deporting
- 16:44Speaker 1: illegal immigrants. Why are Democrats in putting all their energy
- 16:49Speaker 1: into stopping the deportations of violent criminal illegal immigrants and
- 16:53Speaker 1: or m asserteen gang members. That is the question that
- 16:56Speaker 1: we should be asking right now, and it's because they
- 16:59Speaker 1: actually believe that these people should stay in America.
- 17:02Speaker 2: They hate Americans.
- 17:02Speaker 1: They don't care if you get killed or sexually assaulted
- 17:06Speaker 1: by one of these gang members, because they're all about
- 17:09Speaker 1: bringing in new voters, even if they are violent, murdering
- 17:13Speaker 1: criminals that are in a terrorist organization. They just don't
- 17:18Speaker 1: care about Americans. The second takeaway from this is I
- 17:24Speaker 1: don't think Donald Trump cares about every single poll that
- 17:27Speaker 1: comes out if he believes he's doing the right thing.
- 17:30Speaker 1: With conviction, the President clearly believes is doing the right
- 17:33Speaker 1: thing when it comes to tariffs. And once you start
- 17:35Speaker 1: getting deals announced, you're going to see, I think, a
- 17:37Speaker 1: big pop in the stock market. You're gonna see momentum.
- 17:40Speaker 1: You're gonna see people that are actually get excited. And
- 17:43Speaker 1: I also think these poll numbers will come up. If
- 17:46Speaker 1: you want to know what paralyzes politicians the most, it's
- 17:49Speaker 1: when they see their job approval rating drop. And that's
- 17:52Speaker 1: why many many politicians, whether it's the local level or
- 17:57Speaker 1: the state level, or the national level, or the presidency
- 17:59Speaker 1: for goodness sakes. They won't take on the third rail issues,
- 18:03Speaker 1: and certainly tariffs is a third rail issued right. They
- 18:06Speaker 1: won't take on reforming Medicare Medicaid, they won't take on
- 18:10Speaker 1: reforming Social Security because they say, we're gonna kick that
- 18:13Speaker 1: can down the road. Let someone else take the hit
- 18:15Speaker 1: in their approval rating. I'm not willing to do it.
- 18:18Speaker 1: And that is what I also think makes Donald Trump
- 18:21Speaker 1: so brilliant.
- 18:22Speaker 2: Right now.
- 18:22Speaker 1: Donald Trump is saying, I'm willing to do the hard
- 18:25Speaker 1: things that these wisses are not willing to do. These
- 18:28Speaker 1: other wosses in the Democratic are in the Republican Party
- 18:32Speaker 1: and the Democratic Party, these other wisses of the past,
- 18:34Speaker 1: they wouldn't do these things. And I'm going to do it.
- 18:37Speaker 1: And I because the American people told me to do it.
- 18:40Speaker 1: They sent me to Washington to do it. They sent
- 18:44Speaker 1: me to Washington again to do this.
- 18:48Speaker 2: And that's the biggest issue here.
- 18:50Speaker 1: So is it worth it to have a lower approval
- 18:52Speaker 1: rating in the first one hundred days. Hell yeah, if
- 18:54Speaker 1: you're changing America. And I think that's what the President
- 18:57Speaker 1: saying here as well.
- 19:00Speaker 2: All Right, I want to get you an update on
- 19:01Speaker 2: another issue.
- 19:02Speaker 1: That's really important, and that is the issue of tariffs.
- 19:06Speaker 1: We're getting some new information out of the White House
- 19:09Speaker 1: and President Donald Trump has said that his tariff policy
- 19:13Speaker 1: will substantially reduce and even completely eliminate income taxes for
- 19:20Speaker 1: some American workers.
- 19:23Speaker 2: Quote.
- 19:23Speaker 1: When tariffs cut in, many people's income taxes will be
- 19:27Speaker 1: substantially reduced, maybe even completely eliminated.
- 19:30Speaker 2: That is what Trump.
- 19:31Speaker 1: Said on Sunday on True Social He then went on
- 19:35Speaker 1: to say focus will be on people making.
- 19:38Speaker 2: Less than two hundred thousand a year.
- 19:41Speaker 1: Trump continued, also, massive numbers of jobs are already being created,
- 19:46Speaker 1: with new plans and factories currently being built or planned.
- 19:49Speaker 1: It will be a bonanza for America. The external revenue
- 19:55Speaker 1: service is happening now. Trumps promoted an external revenue service before,
- 20:00Speaker 1: but may be citing the attractive idea again in the
- 20:04Speaker 1: face of continued criticism by detractors that he has launched
- 20:09Speaker 1: a destructive quote trade war that has obviously had its
- 20:13Speaker 1: toll on the US stock market, and, as Democrats are
- 20:17Speaker 1: praying for, will result in higher prices for consumers. On
- 20:21Speaker 1: April the second, Trump imposed those series of serious tariffs
- 20:26Speaker 1: on nations around the world, including a ten percent tariff
- 20:29Speaker 1: on virtually everything coming to the United States. The tariff
- 20:33Speaker 1: on India was said at twenty six percent, while China
- 20:36Speaker 1: has taken the biggest hit with one hundred and forty
- 20:38Speaker 1: five percent levies against China. However, the administration has walked
- 20:43Speaker 1: back many of those tariffs. It has put a ninety
- 20:46Speaker 1: day pause on reciprocal tariffs. They've launched major negotiations with
- 20:51Speaker 1: dozens of countries that are locked in right now in DC,
- 20:55Speaker 1: and they've said that many of these countries are happy
- 20:59Speaker 1: to sign a new deal focusing on a fair deal
- 21:02Speaker 1: for America. And that also means that China is being
- 21:06Speaker 1: in many ways hung out to dry in recent weeks.
- 21:10Speaker 1: By the way, the Wall Street Journal seems to be
- 21:12Speaker 1: hanging on every word by Trump and the Treasury Secretary
- 21:16Speaker 1: Scott Bissin as the dal Jones is fluctuated all over
- 21:21Speaker 1: the place. Now, as long as you don't sell right,
- 21:24Speaker 1: then you haven't lost anything. Yet, that's been the message
- 21:28Speaker 1: coming from the White House. The terror policies have also
- 21:32Speaker 1: rattled the US bond market, which finances the nation's debt.
- 21:36Speaker 1: Many detractors have said that this has prompted Trump to
- 21:40Speaker 1: dial back his policies, or it could just be that
- 21:43Speaker 1: the President of the United States of America understands what he's
- 21:47Speaker 1: doing right now. But what the President has made clear
- 21:51Speaker 1: is that he believes this is going to be a
- 21:52Speaker 1: bonanza for America. He also believes that this is going
- 21:56Speaker 1: to hurt China more than anyone else. And China, just
- 22:00Speaker 1: so you understand how much they're lying to you, they
- 22:02Speaker 1: lied about COVID and its origins. But now the Chinese
- 22:07Speaker 1: Foreign Ministry is insisting that quote, fetanyl is the US problem,
- 22:13Speaker 1: not China saying this the US, and the US alone
- 22:17Speaker 1: has the responsibility to solve it. That is what China
- 22:20Speaker 1: said a press conference, saying, quote, despite the goodwill China
- 22:24Speaker 1: has shown, the US slap tariffs on Chinese imports and
- 22:27Speaker 1: blames it on fetnyl.
- 22:29Speaker 2: This is bullying through and through.
- 22:32Speaker 1: And highly damaging to the dialogue and cooperation on counter narcotics. Now,
- 22:38Speaker 1: the US should know that vilifying others, China says, will
- 22:42Speaker 1: not hide it's failed responsibility to punish those who try
- 22:46Speaker 1: to help, will not solve any problem, and intimidation or
- 22:51Speaker 1: threats are certainly not the right way to engage with China.
- 22:55Speaker 1: That's what China has said again in their propaganda. Gal
- 22:59Speaker 1: was respond to reports about how slow progress and talks
- 23:02Speaker 1: between the US and China officials are curtailing china supply
- 23:07Speaker 1: of chemicals for the deadly fetanyl drug. The US also
- 23:13Speaker 1: told Reuters on Wednesday that the Chinese are quote failing
- 23:16Speaker 1: to negotiate in good faith quote unquote. These officials said
- 23:21Speaker 1: China is exchanging intelligence about traffickers, but its proposals to
- 23:26Speaker 1: resolve the FEDINL crisis have been quote unquote inadequate. Like,
- 23:30Speaker 1: here's what you need to understand about China. They know
- 23:32Speaker 1: where the federals coming from, they know who, they know
- 23:34Speaker 1: who's creating it, they know who's making money off of it.
- 23:37Speaker 1: They know who all the traffickers are. This is not
- 23:40Speaker 1: being done in an underworld.
- 23:41Speaker 2: In China.
- 23:41Speaker 1: The Chinese Communist Party is making money, make no mistake
- 23:44Speaker 1: about it, off of FEEDANL trade. They are also while
- 23:48Speaker 1: China might be quote willing to share intel about traffickers,
- 23:52Speaker 1: it rarely takes serious actions against the least illicit chemical manufacturers,
- 23:57Speaker 1: those that are making these drugs in China.
- 24:00Speaker 2: This is partly because.
- 24:03Speaker 1: Chemicals have also had quote legitimate uses, and the Chinese
- 24:06Speaker 1: government is quote reluctant to compromise the profits of their
- 24:11Speaker 1: huge chemical companies.
- 24:14Speaker 2: So one US official put it this way.
- 24:17Speaker 1: Start putting big important people behind bars as a signal
- 24:22Speaker 1: to the whole industry or black market. We just haven't
- 24:26Speaker 1: seen that. In other words, China's lyne. They know they're
- 24:30Speaker 1: killing people in America, they know they're killing people around
- 24:32Speaker 1: the world, and they don't care. But you ought to
- 24:35Speaker 1: understand China don't even care about their own people. Look
- 24:38Speaker 1: at how they've enslaved their own people with slave labor.
- 24:40Speaker 1: Look at how they've abused children with child labor. China
- 24:45Speaker 1: is soulless when it comes to caring about people. They
- 24:49Speaker 1: are a soulless government. They are a soulless group of individuals.
- 24:55Speaker 1: They don't care who dies in their own country. They
- 24:58Speaker 1: don't care about child labor. They don't care about slave labor,
- 25:02Speaker 1: which they do have in China from other people from
- 25:04Speaker 1: around the world. Let's be very clear about that. They
- 25:07Speaker 1: don't care if you're dying because of fetnyl overdoses. They
- 25:10Speaker 1: don't care if your kids are or your grandkids are.
- 25:13Speaker 1: And that's why the Trump administration is saying we're not budgeing,
- 25:18Speaker 1: either China, you're gonna aggressively prosecute those who produce and
- 25:21Speaker 1: sell fetinyl chemicals, or we're gonna hold you accountable for
- 25:26Speaker 1: it now.
- 25:27Speaker 2: China in their new offer all.
- 25:30Speaker 1: Right, is merely offering to quote regulate the chemicals as
- 25:35Speaker 1: basically a little more tightly than they are right now.
- 25:39Speaker 1: That's not good enough for the President, and that's why
- 25:41Speaker 1: they're calling them out.
- 25:43Speaker 2: And even this offer.
- 25:45Speaker 1: That we're hearing about this weekend seems largely rhetorical to
- 25:50Speaker 1: the Trump administration, who said talk is cheap.
- 25:54Speaker 2: China again never seems to.
- 25:55Speaker 1: Do anything meaningful to shut down the chemical pipelines because
- 25:59Speaker 1: they're making too much money off it and they don't
- 26:03Speaker 1: care if you're dying because of it.
- 26:05Speaker 2: Now.
- 26:05Speaker 1: Trump's first round of twenty percent tariffs on China in February,
- 26:09Speaker 1: just so you know, was presented as punishment for China
- 26:13Speaker 1: failing to take the fetnal crisis seriously enough. China responded
- 26:17Speaker 1: by saying it would do nothing further to quote address
- 26:19Speaker 1: the fetanyl problem until the tariffs were lifted. So again
- 26:23Speaker 1: they'll saying, well, we're going to allow more people to
- 26:25Speaker 1: die and we're not going to help you guys until
- 26:28Speaker 1: you lift our tariffs. Well, when we didn't have the
- 26:30Speaker 1: tariffs arm they were still killing Americans. So which way
- 26:33Speaker 1: is it? American officials also noted this week that China
- 26:38Speaker 1: is a member of the UN Commission on Narcotic Drugs,
- 26:42Speaker 1: which unanimously agreed to place tighter control on fetnel chemicals
- 26:45Speaker 1: at a March twenty twenty four meeting in Vienna, Austria.
- 26:49Speaker 1: China's proposal to regulate more chemicals are therefore, quote a
- 26:53Speaker 1: bad faith offer to do something that.
- 26:56Speaker 2: It already pledged to do over a year ago.
- 27:00Speaker 1: White House, again calling them out for their line pressed
- 27:03Speaker 1: on the issue. By the way, Chinese officials over the
- 27:05Speaker 1: weekend have been repeating the talking points from the regime
- 27:11Speaker 1: that fetanyl is entirely quote an American problem, even though
- 27:16Speaker 1: no one disputes that most of the chemicals for the
- 27:19Speaker 1: fetanyl is coming directly from communists China. The biggest change
- 27:24Speaker 1: in fetnyl production since the Trump term has been that
- 27:27Speaker 1: China no longer ships the chemicals directly to American drug dealers. Instead,
- 27:32Speaker 1: it ships the chemicals to Mexican cartels, who then manufacture
- 27:37Speaker 1: the feentanyl and smuggle it across the US border. So
- 27:40Speaker 1: now they're in business with the terrace Narco World in
- 27:45Speaker 1: Mexico and the feedinyl users and traffickers in the USA.
- 27:48Speaker 1: There has been very little reduction in the supply of
- 27:52Speaker 1: the drugs since China promised to crack down on chemical
- 27:54Speaker 1: producers because they're not actually wanting to do it, so
- 27:58Speaker 1: they'll just change how they get it here. They went
- 28:00Speaker 1: into business with the cartels in Mexico and they said,
- 28:02Speaker 1: here you go, We'll give you everything you need.
- 28:03Speaker 2: You guys finish it up.
- 28:05Speaker 1: You guys finished the product, and then you guys take
- 28:07Speaker 1: across the board in America and we also get paid.
- 28:09Speaker 1: We also get rich, and a bunch of people still
- 28:10Speaker 1: die in America. That's how evil the Chinese are. Make
- 28:14Speaker 1: sure you share this podcast wherever you can on social
- 28:17Speaker 1: media and I will see you back here tomorrow.
