Trump's Tariff Triumph-Polls Show Rising Approval on Trade · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: Hang tough.
0:02
Speaker 2: That is the message from President Donald Trump calling on
0:05
Speaker 2: Americans to ride out the tariff storm, and the American
0:09
Speaker 2: people are sticking with Donald Trump. New poll numbers are
0:13
Speaker 2: showing Trump's job approval didn't go down, didn't even stay even.
0:18
Speaker 2: In fact, it rose during the tariff week. Another media fail.
0:23
Speaker 2: Trump's job approval rises four points as he puts Americans
0:28
Speaker 2: first to fifty three percent.
0:31
Speaker 1: If you were.
0:32
Speaker 2: Watching the mainstream media, it was armageddon. As Donald Trump said,
0:36
Speaker 2: I'm going to stand up for American workers, bring back
0:39
Speaker 2: American jobs, and I'm not flinching on tariffs with other
0:42
Speaker 2: countries that are taking advantage of the US. This poll
0:46
Speaker 2: that was taken with over one thousand registered voters between
0:50
Speaker 2: March the thirty first and April the third, show that
0:53
Speaker 2: Donald Trump's four point jump in job approval was not
0:57
Speaker 2: the only rise since March. Trump's job approval from young
1:02
Speaker 2: voters between the ages of eighteen and twenty nine has
1:05
Speaker 2: jumped a staggering thirteen points, as many of them are
1:09
Speaker 2: looking at jobs and manufacturing is a great opportunity for them.
1:13
Speaker 2: Among independent and Democrats, Trump enjoyed a six point increase,
1:19
Speaker 2: meaning that the Democratic talking points aren't even working on
1:22
Speaker 2: their own party. Most telling, support from black voters jumped
1:27
Speaker 2: a whopping seventeen points in a single week. Why because
1:32
Speaker 2: they feel like the president is actually trying to get.
1:34
Speaker 1: Them a great job.
1:37
Speaker 2: Finally, more people's support than oppose Donald Trump's tariffs on
1:41
Speaker 2: foreign countries by a margin of thirty nine percent support
1:47
Speaker 2: to thirty seven percent. That oppose the complete opposite of
1:51
Speaker 2: the story that was being told by those on the
1:55
Speaker 2: left and in the media. Now with all of that,
1:59
Speaker 2: you now knowing that the media is lying to you,
2:02
Speaker 2: here's something else that they're not telling you, and that
2:05
Speaker 2: is that the tariffs are actually working, bringing people.
2:09
Speaker 1: The table outside the White House.
2:12
Speaker 2: Giving an update on ABC this week, here is what
2:15
Speaker 2: they said.
2:16
Speaker 3: I got a report from the USDR last night that
2:19
Speaker 3: more than fifty countries have reached out to the President
2:21
Speaker 3: to begin a negotiation. But they're doing that because they
2:24
Speaker 3: understand that they bear a lot of the tariff. And
2:26
Speaker 3: so I don't think that you're going to see a
2:28
Speaker 3: big effect on the consumer in the US, because I
2:31
Speaker 3: do think that the reason why we have a persistent
2:34
Speaker 3: long run trade deficit is these people have very inelastic supply.
2:37
Speaker 3: They've been dumping goods into the country in order to
2:39
Speaker 3: create jobs, say in China.
2:41
Speaker 2: That coming from one of Trump's top economic advisors. So
2:46
Speaker 2: what is actually happening with different countries? India and Vietnam,
2:50
Speaker 2: for example, are making major moves and negotiations, in other words,
2:56
Speaker 2: buckling and seeking a deal with President Trump on on tariffs.
3:01
Speaker 2: As you heard there from the White House, more than
3:03
Speaker 2: fifty countries have reached out to the White House to
3:05
Speaker 2: begin those negotiations and his President Trump and his team
3:08
Speaker 2: said early on those that show up first will probably
3:12
Speaker 2: get the best deal, and those that hold out, it's
3:15
Speaker 2: gonna hurt your economy more than ours. Now, let's talk
3:19
Speaker 2: about what happened with Vietnam. In a major victory that
3:22
Speaker 2: could even be announced sometime this week, Trump saying that
3:26
Speaker 2: Vietnam is now offering to cut tariffs on America to.
3:31
Speaker 1: The number of zero.
3:34
Speaker 2: President Donald Trump announcing that Vietnam wants to drop the
3:37
Speaker 2: tariff on US goods entirely if a deal can be
3:40
Speaker 2: struck between the two countries. Trump revealed the major development
3:44
Speaker 2: following a phone call with the General secretary of Vietnam's
3:48
Speaker 2: Communist party, Tol Lom I. Just had a very productive
3:52
Speaker 2: call with the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam.
3:56
Speaker 2: Trump announced, who told me that Vietnam wants to cut
3:59
Speaker 2: their tariffs down to zero if they're able to make
4:02
Speaker 2: an agreement with the US. We also know the Vietnam
4:06
Speaker 2: flew with an emergency delegation to Washington, DC, arrived on Friday,
4:11
Speaker 2: and are staying for fourteen days to get the deal
4:14
Speaker 2: done now. The call comes days after Trump announces sweeping
4:18
Speaker 2: worldwide reciprocal and baseline tariffs, which included a hefty forty
4:23
Speaker 2: six percent discounted reciprocal tariff on Vietnamese goods and ported
4:28
Speaker 2: into America. The President saying quote, I thanked him on
4:33
Speaker 2: behalf of our country, and I said I look forward
4:35
Speaker 2: to a meeting in the near future. The reciprocal tariffs
4:39
Speaker 2: Trump imposed on many countries will take effect after midnight
4:43
Speaker 2: on April the ninth, this coming week, while the ten
4:47
Speaker 2: percent baseline tariffs on other nations are set to take.
4:49
Speaker 1: Effect on Saturday.
4:52
Speaker 2: Nike stock, for example, plunged on Wednesday and into Thursday
4:56
Speaker 2: following Trump's tariff announcement. The company has one hundred and
5:00
Speaker 2: thirty factories in Vietnam and some four hundred and sixty
5:03
Speaker 2: thousand workers. This is just one example of exactly why
5:07
Speaker 2: Donald Trump is winning on the issue of tariffs.
5:10
Speaker 1: And it's not just Vietnam.
5:12
Speaker 2: There are also other countries that are running to sit
5:15
Speaker 2: down with the President, including India. More than the fifty
5:19
Speaker 2: countries that have reached out the White House to begin
5:22
Speaker 2: their trade talks, and top economic advisors saying this on
5:26
Speaker 2: Sunday that we believe this will be quote a sweeping
5:30
Speaker 2: new set of tariffs that will be announced at new
5:34
Speaker 2: and different levels because the companies that have come forward.
5:38
Speaker 2: You look at places like India and they are eager
5:41
Speaker 2: to sit down and work with the American people and
5:45
Speaker 2: this government. Now, yes, the US stock market is tumbled
5:48
Speaker 2: by around ten percent of the two days since Trump's
5:50
Speaker 2: announce a new global tariff around the world. But what
5:55
Speaker 2: we also know is that the President told the American
5:57
Speaker 2: people hang tough, and based on the poll numbers, the
6:01
Speaker 2: American people understand what Donald Trump is trying to do.
6:04
Speaker 1: They have faith in what he's doing.
6:06
Speaker 2: And they believe that the President has leverage to get
6:08
Speaker 2: it done for the American worker and so that we're
6:12
Speaker 2: not being taken advantage of any longer After more than
6:16
Speaker 2: a year of war, tear and pain in Israel, the
6:19
Speaker 2: need for security essentials and support for first responders is
6:24
Speaker 2: still critical. Israel must be prepared for the next attack,
6:28
Speaker 2: wherever it may come from, as Israel is surrounded by
6:30
Speaker 2: enemies on all sides. And while the International Fellowship of
6:34
Speaker 2: Christians and Jews has supported and will continue to support
6:38
Speaker 2: the people of Israel with life saving security essentials, and
6:42
Speaker 2: that is where your gift will help save lives by
6:44
Speaker 2: providing bomb shelters, armored security vehicles, armored ambulances, firefighting equipment,
6:51
Speaker 2: flat jackets and bulletproof vests and so much more. That's
6:55
Speaker 2: where your generous donation today will help ensure the people
6:58
Speaker 2: of Israel are safe and secure in the days and
7:01
Speaker 2: weeks to come, and as the threats of terror remain imminent.
7:05
Speaker 2: So give a gift to bless israel Inner people by
7:08
Speaker 2: visiting SUPPORTIFCJ dot org. That's one word, support IFCJ dot org,
7:15
Speaker 2: or call eight at eight for eight eight IFCJ that's
7:20
Speaker 2: eight at eight four eight eight, IFCJ eight at eight
7:24
Speaker 2: four eight eight four three two five, or support IFCJ
7:29
Speaker 2: dot org. Taiwan's president, by the way, on Sunday, offered
7:33
Speaker 2: zero tariffs as the basis for talks with the US,
7:36
Speaker 2: as well, pledging to remove trade barriers rather than imposing
7:40
Speaker 2: reciprocal measures, and saying Taiwanese companies will raise their US
7:45
Speaker 2: investments as well. Unlike other economists, Hassett said he did
7:50
Speaker 2: not expect a big hit to consumers because exports were
7:54
Speaker 2: likely to lower prices. He said to NBC News in
7:57
Speaker 2: the White House he did not anticipate a recession based
8:00
Speaker 2: on the tariffs, citing stronger than anticipated US job growth, saying, quote,
8:06
Speaker 2: we could see from the job numbers on Friday that
8:10
Speaker 2: was well above expectations that we are moving forward, So
8:13
Speaker 2: I see no reason to have to worry about the
8:17
Speaker 2: price moving US into a recession. Another example of Donald
8:21
Speaker 2: Trump realizing that he has leverage in the world, understanding
8:24
Speaker 2: he's not messing around is in Saudi Arabia, where the
8:27
Speaker 2: markets were open on Sunday.
8:30
Speaker 1: What happened.
8:31
Speaker 2: They were down six point seven eight percent, the worst
8:34
Speaker 2: daily loss since the COVID nineteen pandemic, according to state media.
8:39
Speaker 1: Larry Summers, formerly the director of.
8:41
Speaker 2: The National Economic Council under President Barack Obama, said this
8:45
Speaker 2: there is a very good chance there's going to be
8:47
Speaker 2: more turbulence in the markets. The way we saw on
8:51
Speaker 2: Thursday and Friday. A drop like that following the announcement
8:54
Speaker 2: of tariff signals that they're likely to be trouble ahead
8:57
Speaker 2: and people ought to be very cautious. He wrote on
9:00
Speaker 2: X Well, that's the doom and gloom they're trying to
9:03
Speaker 2: sell you. What they're not telling you is there's a
9:05
Speaker 2: good chance that even this week, there could be announcements
9:09
Speaker 2: of movement and new deals made between the Trump administration
9:13
Speaker 2: and several major trade partners. Pierre Navarro, Trump's tariff guru,
9:18
Speaker 2: is pushed back against the mounting nervousness and insisted the investors, well,
9:24
Speaker 2: you can move. You can't lose money unless you sell.
9:27
Speaker 2: In other words, going back to the message from Trump,
9:30
Speaker 2: and what did Donald Trump say?
9:32
Speaker 1: He said, I need you to quote hang in there. Now.
9:36
Speaker 2: Let's take a moment and just put into perspective when
9:40
Speaker 2: you look at guys like Larry Summers, the former director
9:43
Speaker 2: of the National Economic Council under Obama, he wants the
9:47
Speaker 2: world to freak out.
9:48
Speaker 1: He wants you to turn on Trump, and he wants.
9:51
Speaker 2: You to say I'm leaving you and then give Republicans
9:55
Speaker 2: on out in the House that are rhinos and squishy
9:59
Speaker 2: to walk away from the President on tariffs. That's why
10:02
Speaker 2: they're all doing this. Putting in perspective, look at Peter Navarro,
10:08
Speaker 2: this is Trump's tariff guru. He is pushing back hard
10:12
Speaker 2: against the quote mounting nervousness and insisted to investors that
10:17
Speaker 2: you can't lose money unless you sell if you aren't
10:22
Speaker 2: planning on using your money like right now that you
10:25
Speaker 2: have in your investments, and just don't do anything, don't
10:28
Speaker 2: sell it right now.
10:30
Speaker 1: Quote.
10:30
Speaker 2: The smart strategy is not to panic, just stay in
10:33
Speaker 2: because we're going to have the biggest boom in the
10:35
Speaker 2: stock market we've ever seen under the Trump policies. That
10:40
Speaker 2: is what Navarro has become the public face of tariffs,
10:42
Speaker 2: said on Fox News, Russia has not been targeted by
10:47
Speaker 2: the latest raft of tariffs, and also has to say
10:50
Speaker 2: that with Moscow over the invasion, the talks with Moscow
10:54
Speaker 2: over the invasion of Ukraine as the main reason why
10:57
Speaker 2: they've been left off the hit list so far. Again,
11:00
Speaker 2: the President wants to end that war, saying, quote, there's
11:03
Speaker 2: obviously an ongoing negotiation with Russia and Ukraine. And I
11:07
Speaker 2: think the President made the decision not to conflate the
11:10
Speaker 2: two issues. It doesn't mean that Russia, and the fullest
11:12
Speaker 2: of time, is going to be treated wildly different than
11:15
Speaker 2: every other country. The White House officials also suggest the
11:18
Speaker 2: reason for Russia's a mission was because trade was negligible
11:24
Speaker 2: thanks to all of the sanctions that we actually have
11:27
Speaker 2: on Russia for their invasion of Ukraine. Now, Trump has
11:32
Speaker 2: long insisted that countries around the world that sell products
11:36
Speaker 2: to the US are in fact ripping Americans off, and
11:40
Speaker 2: he sees tariffs says a mean to right that wrong.
11:44
Speaker 2: This is clearly something where the President says, I'm digging
11:47
Speaker 2: in and I'm going to dig in, and I need
11:50
Speaker 2: you to understand why I'm digging in, and I need
11:52
Speaker 2: you to hang with me. I need you to not panic.
11:56
Speaker 2: I think most Americans trust the President. You look at
12:01
Speaker 2: Vietnam offering to cut tariffs to tariffs on American goods
12:04
Speaker 2: to zero, y'all.
12:06
Speaker 1: That's massive. That is just huge, the President.
12:12
Speaker 2: Saying to Vietnam, quote, I thanked him on behalf of
12:15
Speaker 2: our country and said I look forward to a meeting
12:17
Speaker 2: in the near future. Why do you say that, because
12:19
Speaker 2: he says he understands like, you want to get a
12:21
Speaker 2: deal done.
12:21
Speaker 1: Let's get a deal done. You want to do this,
12:24
Speaker 1: Let's do this.
12:25
Speaker 2: There's also a lot of other companies that are, I'm
12:28
Speaker 2: sure putting pressure on the nations where they manufacture to
12:32
Speaker 2: get a deal done. I mentioned earlier Nike. What do
12:36
Speaker 2: you think was happening in Nike's headquarters. Nike has one
12:40
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty factories in Vietnam, almost a half million workers.
12:46
Speaker 2: Nike's stock opened at fifty three to twenty two per
12:50
Speaker 2: share on Friday. They saw a jump as high as
12:52
Speaker 2: fifty eight to seventy three in the minutes after Trump's
12:55
Speaker 2: true social announcement okay it was trading any were from
13:00
Speaker 2: sixty three to sixty five in the days before a
13:02
Speaker 2: sharp drop off during the present's announcement on Tuesday, which
13:06
Speaker 2: he called Liberation Day. Why do their stock jump because
13:09
Speaker 2: Donald Trump is may it clear, I'm not playing games.
13:12
Speaker 2: If you come to the table, and you're one of
13:14
Speaker 2: these countries and you come to the table, I'm.
13:17
Speaker 1: All in, let's get a deal done.
13:21
Speaker 2: Trump on Thursday morning, for example, likened to sweeping tear
13:25
Speaker 2: plan to the country's trade imbalances, to quote a successful
13:29
Speaker 2: surgery on the patient, saying this, the operation is over,
13:36
Speaker 2: the patient lived and is healing. The prognosis is that
13:40
Speaker 2: the patient will be far stronger, bigger, better, and more
13:45
Speaker 2: resilient than ever before. Make America great again. That's what
13:50
Speaker 2: he wrote, trying to give perspective to exactly what is
13:53
Speaker 2: going on and what is happening now. I go back
13:56
Speaker 2: to the media here and what they're saying. They want
14:01
Speaker 2: you to be angry with Trump. They want you to
14:03
Speaker 2: walk away, right like they they want you to walk away.
14:08
Speaker 2: The President was asked on Air Force one earlier today
14:12
Speaker 2: about all of this pain threshold in the market, because
14:16
Speaker 2: there are people expecting the market's going to lose on
14:18
Speaker 2: Monday and probably on Tuesday this week because of this.
14:23
Speaker 2: What did the President say here? He is his own
14:25
Speaker 2: words moments ago.
14:27
Speaker 4: You just want it should be they're in the market there,
14:32
Speaker 4: even in the market at some point, you're unwilling to
14:35
Speaker 4: tolerate this idea of a Trump.
14:36
Speaker 5: Put is there a threshold?
14:38
Speaker 4: I think your question is so stupid, but I mean,
14:40
Speaker 4: I think it's a I don't want anything to go down,
14:44
Speaker 4: but sometimes you have to take medicine to fix something
14:47
Speaker 4: and we have such a horrible We have been treated
14:52
Speaker 4: so badly by other countries because we had.
14:56
Speaker 5: Stupid leadership that allowed this to happen.
14:58
Speaker 4: They took our businesses, they took our money, they took
15:01
Speaker 4: our jobs. They moved into Mexico, they moved it to Canada,
15:05
Speaker 4: they moved a lot of it to China.
15:07
Speaker 5: And it's not sustainable. We're not going to do it now.
15:10
Speaker 5: We have hundreds of billions of dollars is pouring into
15:13
Speaker 5: our country on a monthly basis. It's pooring.
15:16
Speaker 4: It's already started because they put tariff's u and eventually
15:20
Speaker 4: it's going to straighten out and our country would be
15:22
Speaker 4: solid and strong again.
15:24
Speaker 5: Elon usks it.
15:26
Speaker 2: The President making it clear he's not wavering, he's not cracking.
15:31
Speaker 2: Treasury Secretary also on TV, he said this about the
15:36
Speaker 2: idea and the possibility of a recession.
15:40
Speaker 6: All right, let me ask you about one of the
15:41
Speaker 6: big questions recession. As you know, analysts say the chances
15:45
Speaker 6: of a recession are rising in the wake of the
15:47
Speaker 6: tariffs announced this week. Do you believe that President Trump's
15:51
Speaker 6: tariffs are risking the chances of a recession.
15:56
Speaker 7: I don't, and I think we could see from the
15:58
Speaker 7: jobs number on writing that was well above expectations. That
16:03
Speaker 7: we are moving forward, so I see no reason that
16:08
Speaker 7: we have to price iner reception.
16:11
Speaker 6: Okay, before I let you go, I know you've been
16:14
Speaker 6: one of the official spearheading the efforts to get President
16:17
Speaker 6: Trump's budget bill passed on Capitol Hill. It includes the
16:22
Speaker 6: President's plans for tax cuts, extending the twenty seventeen tax cuts.
16:26
Speaker 6: For example, are you confident that the President's budget bill
16:30
Speaker 6: will pass before the August recess?
16:33
Speaker 7: We are shooting for even a much earlier date. And
16:37
Speaker 7: Chris and I, I can tell you the underreported story
16:40
Speaker 7: in DC is it's fun from our side of the
16:43
Speaker 7: aisle to watch the Democratic chaos. But the underreported story
16:47
Speaker 7: is the Republican unity. And Speaker Johnson has done an
16:51
Speaker 7: incredible job with a small minority. He got reconciliation instructions
16:56
Speaker 7: out on the first try. He got a clean continuing
16:59
Speaker 7: resolution Speaker Thoon, the Senate issued the reconciliation instructions, so
17:06
Speaker 7: things are moving very quickly.
17:08
Speaker 6: Very quickly. President Trump called on the FED chair to
17:11
Speaker 6: lower interest rates. Do you think that Fed chairs, your
17:14
Speaker 6: own power, should lower interest rates?
17:16
Speaker 7: I think that when we see inflation dropping that the
17:21
Speaker 7: Fed will do what as always does and lower rates.
17:25
Speaker 7: But in the meantime, what we can control is the
17:28
Speaker 7: longer term rate, the tenure rate, which hit a new
17:32
Speaker 7: low on Friday. That's where mortgages are priced. That's where
17:36
Speaker 7: long term capital formation is priced. And you back to
17:39
Speaker 7: the tax the deal. When we can pass that, we
17:44
Speaker 7: will have economic certainty.
17:46
Speaker 2: Okay, you can hear the Treasury secretary there there's no
17:49
Speaker 2: reason to markets to price in a recession. You look
17:54
Speaker 2: at the data and everything that President Trump's doing right
17:57
Speaker 2: now seems to be spot on. While we may have
18:01
Speaker 2: won this election, the fight to restore our great nation
18:03
Speaker 2: is only beginning, and now is the time to take
18:06
Speaker 2: a stand, and Patriot Mobile is leading the charge. It
18:10
Speaker 2: has never been easier to switch your cell phone than
18:14
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty five. With technology, you can do it
18:16
Speaker 2: literally over the phone with a code they send you.
18:20
Speaker 2: It is amazing. But here's the reason why I use
18:23
Speaker 2: Patriot Mobile now. One I save money over what I
18:26
Speaker 2: was paying before with Big Mobile, and two, I'm no
18:29
Speaker 2: longer supporting the radical left now. I didn't realize until
18:33
Speaker 2: someone told me just how radical Big Mobile had gotten
18:36
Speaker 2: where they are supporting organizations that pay for abortions or
18:39
Speaker 2: supporting radical democratic causes and organizations. They're helping Democrats get
18:44
Speaker 2: elect it at the local, state, and national level. That
18:47
Speaker 2: is actually why over a decade ago Patriot Mobile was
18:50
Speaker 2: started and they are now America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.
18:56
Speaker 1: Now, let's talk about coverage.
18:57
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty five, you have zero problems with coverage
19:01
Speaker 2: anymore because well, Patriot Mobile uses all three major networks.
19:05
Speaker 1: What does that mean for you?
19:06
Speaker 2: It means whatever coverage you're used to now you're going
19:09
Speaker 2: to stay exactly the same, or you may even be
19:12
Speaker 2: able to improve it, but it will not be any
19:15
Speaker 2: issues when it comes to coverage. In fact, they have
19:17
Speaker 2: a coverage guarantee. But when you pay your bill, this
19:20
Speaker 2: is where the magic happens. They take a portion of
19:23
Speaker 2: your bill every month and they give it back to
19:25
Speaker 2: organizations that support our first and our second amendments, that
19:29
Speaker 2: support the sanctity of life, that support our veterans, our
19:32
Speaker 2: first responders, and are wounded warriors. And like I said,
19:36
Speaker 2: switching with technology now has never been easier. You keep
19:40
Speaker 2: your same phone you have now, keep your same phone number,
19:43
Speaker 2: and you can even upgrade to a new phone if
19:44
Speaker 2: you want to. They have a one hundred percent US
19:47
Speaker 2: based customer support team to help you find the perfect
19:50
Speaker 2: plan and to save money. And if you own a
19:53
Speaker 2: business or a small business, they have a division that
19:55
Speaker 2: just works on switching multiple lines over easily. So right now,
20:00
Speaker 2: Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson or call them nine to
20:05
Speaker 2: seven to two Patriot. You're gonna get a free month
20:08
Speaker 2: of service with the promo code ferguson. So switch to
20:11
Speaker 2: Patriot Mobile and make a difference with every call you make.
20:14
Speaker 2: Patriot Mobile dot com slash ferguson or nine seven to
20:18
Speaker 2: two Patriot. There are a lot of people that have said,
20:21
Speaker 2: how did Donald Trump get the idea to do what
20:26
Speaker 2: he's doing with tariffs and the American First policy. There
20:30
Speaker 2: are many that are acting like this is a chaotic plan,
20:33
Speaker 2: a dysfunctional plan, a plan that is radical or extreme
20:38
Speaker 2: that should never have happened, and it happened on.
20:40
Speaker 1: A whim from Donald Trump.
20:43
Speaker 2: There isn't a bigger lie than that coming out of
20:45
Speaker 2: the conversation with tariffs. How do we know that this
20:49
Speaker 2: is a belief that Donald Trump has had for quite
20:51
Speaker 2: some time. Well, you can look back to nineteen eighty eight.
20:56
Speaker 2: President Donald Trump was on the Oprah Winfrey Show talking
21:01
Speaker 2: about countries ripping America off in the trade war. She
21:07
Speaker 2: also asked him about running for office, and he said
21:11
Speaker 2: something else that was obviously very clear. He said he
21:15
Speaker 2: didn't think he was going to run for office unless
21:18
Speaker 2: things got really, really, really bad. Those two things came
21:24
Speaker 2: to fruition. And this is all the way back in
21:28
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty eight. So if you think Donald Trump is
21:32
Speaker 2: messing around, he's not. He's believed it and been planning
21:36
Speaker 2: it for more than thirty years.
21:38
Speaker 8: Last year criticizing US foreign policy, what would you do differently.
21:41
Speaker 9: Donald, I'd make our allies forgetting about the enemies, the
21:44
Speaker 9: enemies you can't talk to so easily. I'd make our
21:46
Speaker 9: allies pay their fair share. We're a debtor nation. Something's
21:50
Speaker 9: going to happen over the next number of years with
21:51
Speaker 9: this country because you can't keep going on losing two
21:53
Speaker 9: hundred billion, and yet we let your pan come in
21:56
Speaker 9: and dump everything right into our markets and everything. It's
21:59
Speaker 9: not free trade. If you ever go to Japan right
22:01
Speaker 9: now and try to sell something, forget about it. Open,
22:03
Speaker 9: just forget about it. It's almost impossible. They don't have
22:06
Speaker 9: laws against it, they just make it impossible. They come
22:08
Speaker 9: over here, they sell their cars, they're VCRs. They knock
22:11
Speaker 9: the hell out of our companies. And hey, I have
22:13
Speaker 9: tremendous respect for the Japanese people. I mean, you can
22:15
Speaker 9: respect somebody that's beating the hell out of you, But
22:17
Speaker 9: they are beating the hell out of this country Kuwait.
22:20
Speaker 9: They live like kings. The poorest person in Kuwait they
22:22
Speaker 9: live like kings. And yet they're not paying. We make
22:25
Speaker 9: it possible for them to sell their oil. Why aren't
22:27
Speaker 9: they paying us twenty five percent of what they're making.
22:30
Speaker 9: It's a joke.
22:31
Speaker 8: This sounds like political presidential talk to me. And I
22:34
Speaker 8: know people have talked to you about whether or not
22:35
Speaker 8: you want to run.
22:36
Speaker 1: Would you ever?
22:38
Speaker 9: Probably not? But I do get tired of seeing the
22:41
Speaker 9: country ripple.
22:41
Speaker 1: Why would you not?
22:42
Speaker 9: I just don't think I really have the inclination to
22:45
Speaker 9: do it. I love what I'm doing, I really like.
22:47
Speaker 8: It also doesn't pay as well, but you know.
22:52
Speaker 9: I just probably wouldn't do it. I probably wouldn't, but
22:54
Speaker 9: I do get tired of seeing what's happening with this country.
22:57
Speaker 9: And if it got so bad, I would never want
22:59
Speaker 9: to rule it out totally because I really am tired
23:01
Speaker 9: of seeing what's happening with this country, how we're really
23:05
Speaker 9: making other people live like kings and we're not.
23:07
Speaker 8: What do you think of this year's presidential race the
23:09
Speaker 8: way it's shaping.
23:10
Speaker 9: Up, Well, it's going to be very interesting. I think
23:13
Speaker 9: that probably George Bush has an advantage in terms of
23:16
Speaker 9: the election. I think that probably people would say that
23:18
Speaker 9: he's got like that little edge in terms of the incumbency,
23:21
Speaker 9: et cetera, et cetera. But I think Jesse Jackson's done
23:23
Speaker 9: himself very proud. I think Michael Ducacus has done one
23:26
Speaker 9: hell of a job, and George Bush has done a
23:28
Speaker 9: hell of a job. You know, they all went in
23:30
Speaker 9: there sort of a semi underdogs, including George Bush, and
23:33
Speaker 9: they've all come out. I think people that are around
23:35
Speaker 9: all three of those candidates can be very proud of
23:37
Speaker 9: the jobs they've done.
23:39
Speaker 2: You listen to Donald Trump then, and there's a couple
23:43
Speaker 2: of things there that are very consistent. He said, our
23:47
Speaker 2: allies are ripping us off. They're ripping Americans off in trade,
23:53
Speaker 2: and we start there. He also said it's a little
23:56
Speaker 2: bit tougher with our adversaries. Great example of that is
24:00
Speaker 2: what he's dealing with with Russia right now. There are
24:02
Speaker 2: many in the press trying to attack Donald Trump for
24:06
Speaker 2: not putting major sanctions on Russia. Well, he says he's
24:10
Speaker 2: trying to stop a war between Russia and Ukraine. Why
24:13
Speaker 2: complicate things and make things worse by throwing tariffs on them?
24:17
Speaker 2: But there's also a second point that the media is
24:21
Speaker 2: omitting from the facts.
24:23
Speaker 1: There's not a lot to put tariffs on because we have.
24:26
Speaker 2: So many sanctions right now on Russia already. So it's
24:31
Speaker 2: almost like there is in fact they said of tariffs,
24:33
Speaker 2: there are tariffs of we're not doing anything with you,
24:37
Speaker 2: And yet the media is trying to act like there's
24:39
Speaker 2: some sort of Russia collusion three point zero or four
24:43
Speaker 2: point zero or five point zero when it comes to Russia.
24:47
Speaker 2: This is how they're going to continue to attack Donald Trump.
24:51
Speaker 2: At the end of the day, this is a plan
24:54
Speaker 2: that Donald Trump made clear back in nineteen eighty eight.
24:57
Speaker 1: Is something he believed in.
24:59
Speaker 2: He understands leverage, and that's why there's fifty plus countries
25:04
Speaker 2: waiting in line to work a deal with Donald J. Trump,
25:08
Speaker 2: the President of the United States of America. I also
25:11
Speaker 2: want to go back to something else that I mentioned earlier,
25:17
Speaker 2: and that is when Donald Trump was talking about tariffs,
25:21
Speaker 2: he also said this is a way for America to
25:24
Speaker 2: get out of debt. Donald Trump on Air Force one
25:27
Speaker 2: saying this about tariffs and how much money the US
25:30
Speaker 2: will make off of these tariffs.
25:32
Speaker 1: Listen, I've improven of this.
25:35
Speaker 5: You talk to a lot of leaders this weekend. Can
25:37
Speaker 5: you tell us her were there any deals made.
25:40
Speaker 4: I spoke to a lot of leaders European, Asian from
25:44
Speaker 4: all over the world and dying to make a deal.
25:47
Speaker 4: But I said, We're not gonna have deficits with your country.
25:51
Speaker 4: We're not gonna do that because to me, a deficit
25:54
Speaker 4: is a loss. We're gonna have surpluses or were at
25:57
Speaker 4: worst gonna be breaking even. But China would be the
26:01
Speaker 4: worst in the group because the deficit is so big
26:06
Speaker 4: and it's not sustainable.
26:08
Speaker 5: And you know, I was elected on this.
26:11
Speaker 4: This was one of the biggest reasons I got elected
26:14
Speaker 4: was exactly because of this. And we're gonna put tariffs,
26:17
Speaker 4: and we've already put them on. It's not a question
26:19
Speaker 4: that we will. We're gonna put them on. And those
26:22
Speaker 4: tariffs next year will make US one trillion dollars. In
26:27
Speaker 4: addition to the one trillion dollars, thousands of companies are
26:32
Speaker 4: going to relocate back into the United States and North
26:35
Speaker 4: Carolina already.
26:37
Speaker 5: Furniture people are starting to move back in.
26:40
Speaker 4: Detroit and Michigan, which I won because of what I said.
26:44
Speaker 4: What I'm telling you, car companies are starting to open
26:47
Speaker 4: up and Indiana a big one is under construction.
26:51
Speaker 5: As an example, Honda. But they're moving in like nobody
26:56
Speaker 5: has ever seen this before.
26:59
Speaker 4: So it's unsustainable for us to allow China to have
27:04
Speaker 4: surpluses of a trillion dollars if we will be taking
27:08
Speaker 4: in over at trillion dollars over the next short period
27:11
Speaker 4: of time.
27:12
Speaker 5: With the tariffs that I've already instituted, they're already in place.
27:17
Speaker 4: Now, what's gonna happen with the market, I can't tell you,
27:19
Speaker 4: but I can tell you how our country has gotten
27:21
Speaker 4: a lot stronger, and eventually it'll be a country like
27:26
Speaker 4: no other. It'll be the most dominant country economically in
27:30
Speaker 4: the world.
27:31
Speaker 5: Just what it should be. There market here.
27:36
Speaker 2: You listen to the media and you hear how they're talking,
27:40
Speaker 2: and you hear the president. He's very calm. He has
27:44
Speaker 2: a plan. Trump was asked about the tech leaders, for example,
27:47
Speaker 2: are they freaking out? What do they say to you?
27:49
Speaker 2: Like they're trying to find some sort of war somewhere.
27:53
Speaker 2: It's not happening.
27:54
Speaker 1: There is no war.
27:56
Speaker 2: Donald Trump's communicating with everybody openly to bend for guson show.
