Trump’s Numbers Defy the Doom Narrative as Liberal Media Screams Disaster · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: There is a rumor right now that the media and
0:04
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party are pushing that Donald Trump is a disaster.
0:08
Speaker 1: His approval rating is a disaster, The Republican Party is
0:12
Speaker 1: a disaster. His supporters are fleeing, they're angry with him,
0:15
Speaker 1: and everything's terrible. We've got data to show that that
0:19
Speaker 1: is nothing but political propaganda from state sponsored media. How
0:23
Speaker 1: do we know this, well, get ready to use this
0:26
Speaker 1: around the dinner table with your woke liberal family members
0:30
Speaker 1: when they tell you that Donald Trump.
0:32
Speaker 2: Is a disaster, it's a lie.
0:35
Speaker 1: President Donald Trump now enjoys a fifty percent approval rating,
0:40
Speaker 1: with a net approval rating of plus nine points, according
0:44
Speaker 1: to the latest pulling from Insider Advantage. The national poll
0:49
Speaker 1: of eight hundred likely voters conducted on Saturday finds that
0:51
Speaker 1: fifty percent of respondents approved of the president's performance eleven
0:55
Speaker 1: months into his administration. Another forty one percent disapprove of
1:00
Speaker 1: the job Trump is done, while nine percent are undecided.
1:03
Speaker 1: That is significant. The poll shows that a substantial majority
1:07
Speaker 1: of men give Trump positive remarks, while most women disapprove
1:11
Speaker 1: of his performance. So there is an issue on sex
1:14
Speaker 1: here which Democrats will never figure out because they don't
1:16
Speaker 1: even know what the definition of a woman or a
1:18
Speaker 1: man is.
1:18
Speaker 2: They can't define it.
1:20
Speaker 1: So like the good news is as long as they're
1:22
Speaker 1: fighting over that, we're probably gonna be okay. We are
1:26
Speaker 1: seeing trends in the polling ahead of the midterm elections
1:29
Speaker 1: coming all right. Of men surveyed, fifty nine percent are
1:34
Speaker 1: happy with the president's performance. Thirty four percent disapprove. Why
1:40
Speaker 1: are men so with the president? I'm going to explain
1:43
Speaker 1: it very simply. Men like decisive action from leaders. They
1:50
Speaker 1: just want to know what they're dealing with, even if
1:53
Speaker 1: it's something they disagree with. Men don't like ambiguity from
1:58
Speaker 1: any leader. They they just want to know what's happening.
2:03
Speaker 1: They want to know what's going on. They want to know.
2:08
Speaker 1: If something is going to be different, then tell them
2:12
Speaker 1: it's going to be different.
2:13
Speaker 2: That is all they care about.
2:16
Speaker 1: Especially in business now, with Donald Trump, it's clear that
2:20
Speaker 1: men feel like he's in charge. It's very clear they
2:23
Speaker 1: feel like he's doing the right thing. He's keeping them safe,
2:27
Speaker 1: he's working on their businesses. He's trying to lower taxes.
2:30
Speaker 1: He's trying to make it easier for them to run
2:32
Speaker 1: their businesses with deregulation.
2:34
Speaker 2: They're are a.
2:34
Speaker 1: Significant number of things, okay, a significant number of things
2:44
Speaker 1: that men are saying. I'm behind that, I like it.
2:48
Speaker 1: I think this is great news. That's number one. I
2:51
Speaker 1: want to be very clear now, of the thirty nine
2:54
Speaker 1: percent of men that don't like the president, most of
2:57
Speaker 1: those are going to be hardcore leftists, woke libers.
3:00
Speaker 2: Okay, that's just who they're going to be.
3:02
Speaker 1: They're going to be woke liberals, and and they're going
3:05
Speaker 1: to be people that we're never going to vote for
3:06
Speaker 1: them anyway, no matter what. And that's just the way
3:09
Speaker 1: that was going to work. So no one should be
3:11
Speaker 1: surprised by that. Okay, everyone should understand it that this
3:17
Speaker 1: is just how it's going to be. I think this
3:21
Speaker 1: is amazing for the president having approval rating landing at
3:24
Speaker 1: fifty nine points above water and then people say, oh, no,
3:28
Speaker 1: this is somehow a disaster.
3:30
Speaker 2: No it is not.
3:31
Speaker 1: Now Trump is even is even, by the way, with
3:35
Speaker 1: voters under forty, that is significant because usually younger voters
3:39
Speaker 1: are woke liberal people. Now we're finding out that's also
3:42
Speaker 1: not the case anymore. There's a lot of people under
3:45
Speaker 1: forty that just want a present that supports them and
3:47
Speaker 1: allow them to grow and make more money to be
3:50
Speaker 1: able to buy a house. For example, home buying experience
3:53
Speaker 1: under the Bide administration was a disaster, the highest age
3:56
Speaker 1: we've ever seen for first time home buyers, interest rates
3:59
Speaker 1: out of control. People felt like they're being left behind.
4:03
Speaker 1: That is the reason why Trump is even with under
4:06
Speaker 1: forty voters. That should usually be a negative for Republican
4:09
Speaker 1: candidates because they feel like the president's actually rooting for them,
4:13
Speaker 1: not against them. Something else that's interesting here is Democrats
4:20
Speaker 1: have a very worrying issue because not only is Trump
4:25
Speaker 1: even with voters under forty, but he enjoys a net
4:29
Speaker 1: positive approval rating among voters forty and up. That is
4:33
Speaker 1: a problem for Democrats heading into the midterms because what
4:36
Speaker 1: they're also saying of voters is like, hey, I may
4:38
Speaker 1: not be jumping up and down as independent for Trump,
4:41
Speaker 1: but at least I know what he's going to do,
4:43
Speaker 1: and I stand with him on a lot of the issues.
4:46
Speaker 1: Or fifty percent plus one more than the Democratic Party,
4:48
Speaker 1: which is a socialist party all over the place, Trump
4:52
Speaker 1: has a forty four percent approval rating among those ages
4:55
Speaker 1: eighteen to thirty nine. That is a massive number for
4:59
Speaker 1: republic Forty four percent of the demographic disapproves. That's not surprising.
5:04
Speaker 1: Of those eighteen to thirty nine. When you're younger, you
5:07
Speaker 1: don't pay as much taxes, you're a little more woke,
5:09
Speaker 1: you're a little more kumbayah. You're coming out of college
5:12
Speaker 1: where they've indoctrinated you, and a lot of times you'll
5:15
Speaker 1: go against sanity and you want handouts and free government stuff,
5:19
Speaker 1: and you live in this utopia like, well, everybody should
5:21
Speaker 1: get everything for free. College should be free, and we
5:24
Speaker 1: should get free health care and all those things.
5:26
Speaker 3: Right.
5:26
Speaker 1: So the fact that the present eighteen to thirty nine
5:29
Speaker 1: is at forty four percent forty four percent approval rating
5:34
Speaker 1: and forty four percent disapproval is incredible. There's also something
5:38
Speaker 1: else in that that's really important. That that's those that
5:40
Speaker 1: are in essence independent or have no opinion. It is
5:43
Speaker 1: at thirteen percent. That is significant. Now, of those between
5:48
Speaker 1: forty and sixty four, okay, fifty four percent give Trump
5:53
Speaker 1: a positive grade while thirty nine percent give them a
5:57
Speaker 1: negative one. Almost a year into his first term in office,
6:01
Speaker 1: I'm going to say that again, of those between forty
6:04
Speaker 1: to sixty four, this is where Donald Trump eats. This
6:08
Speaker 1: is where conservative candidates usually have their best polling number.
6:11
Speaker 1: Fifty four percent say yes, we give him a positive grade,
6:15
Speaker 1: thirty nine percent given negative.
6:16
Speaker 2: That's almost a year into his term.
6:18
Speaker 1: That means that people are not only just standing with
6:20
Speaker 1: the president, but they actually believe that what he's doing
6:22
Speaker 1: is working and it's and we're past the tryout period.
6:26
Speaker 2: As a way I could describe it now.
6:28
Speaker 1: If you look at political affiliation, this is another one
6:31
Speaker 1: of the big lies that's been out there, that's been
6:34
Speaker 1: told by the media and the Democratic Party, and that
6:36
Speaker 1: is that Donald Trump is somehow losing support among his
6:42
Speaker 1: own party. That's just a lie, all right. Donald Trump
6:47
Speaker 1: earns an eighty four percent approval rating among Republicans and
6:51
Speaker 1: at twenty five percent approval rating among Democrats. So if
6:55
Speaker 1: you're going to election day and twenty five percent of
6:58
Speaker 1: Democrats are looking at Trump's policies in a positive light,
7:02
Speaker 1: that is a disaster poll for Democrats. I want you
7:05
Speaker 1: to understand that eleven percent, by the way Republicans say
7:09
Speaker 1: they are dissatisfied with Trump's performance.
7:12
Speaker 2: That is again not surprising.
7:14
Speaker 1: Many of them may disapprove with the President on a
7:16
Speaker 1: multitude of different things. One of the issues that's probably
7:18
Speaker 1: in there. It would be my guess is his support
7:21
Speaker 1: and standing by Israel. There is a section of the
7:26
Speaker 1: conservative movement that is anti Semitic right now. I believe
7:29
Speaker 1: there's a large chance that eleven percent of that is
7:32
Speaker 1: going to be in that. You know, America only who
7:34
Speaker 1: cares about Israel, We hate the Jews kind of you know,
7:37
Speaker 1: the Nick Fointes, the Tucker Carlson, the Candas Owens, part
7:41
Speaker 1: of the Republican Party. That's where that eleven percent is
7:44
Speaker 1: probably coming from. That's why they're saying they're dissatisfied with
7:48
Speaker 1: Trump's performance.
7:49
Speaker 2: Now, there's also.
7:51
Speaker 1: Some that may be in that group that are against
7:53
Speaker 1: them in the oil and gas industry. Why oil and
7:56
Speaker 1: gas is not where the industry wants it to be.
7:59
Speaker 1: The President has put the oil gas prices lower than
8:03
Speaker 1: what the industry would like. So I know people in
8:05
Speaker 1: the ol gas industry they're very upset with the president
8:08
Speaker 1: because they want gas or oil prices to go up
8:10
Speaker 1: so they can make more money. Right now, there's a
8:13
Speaker 1: lot of areas where you can drill, and a lot
8:14
Speaker 1: of areas where there's drilling that's expensive that financially is
8:18
Speaker 1: not feasible. So they're upset because they have these leases,
8:20
Speaker 1: they have this equipment, and they're not making money off
8:23
Speaker 1: of these areas where if oil was another twenty five
8:26
Speaker 1: dollars a barrel higher, they'd be killing it, right, So
8:29
Speaker 1: this is a this is some of those people.
8:31
Speaker 2: Are in that industry.
8:32
Speaker 1: By the way, I bought a premium unleaded gasoline today
8:37
Speaker 1: for two point fifty to a gallon, like not eighty seven.
8:41
Speaker 1: All right, I'm talking about the ninety three octane the premium.
8:45
Speaker 1: That is crazy how fast the president has gotten that
8:49
Speaker 1: that low because I was paying more than that much
8:51
Speaker 1: higher than that for the cheap stuff for the eighty
8:53
Speaker 1: seven octane when Biden was present. Now I'm paying for
8:57
Speaker 1: the premium the ninety three at that level. That's just incredible.
9:01
Speaker 1: So there's some of the politics involved in there. You're
9:03
Speaker 1: never going to get one hundred percent approve rating within
9:05
Speaker 1: your own party, but being an eighty nine percent within
9:08
Speaker 1: your party is pretty impressive. Now here's the part that
9:12
Speaker 1: matters for the midterms. Trump is narrowly okay underwater with
9:16
Speaker 1: independent and unaffiliated likely voters. Thirty seven percent of independence
9:21
Speaker 1: view Trump's performance positively. Forty one percent give them a
9:25
Speaker 1: negative grade. Twenty two percent have no opinion. Can Donald
9:29
Speaker 1: Trump improved there? Yes, I think no tax on tips,
9:32
Speaker 1: no taxes so security, no tax on overtime. Those are
9:35
Speaker 1: three issues that once they're implemented come the beginning of
9:38
Speaker 1: the new year, that's going to bring I think some
9:41
Speaker 1: of those under those numbers and independence and unaffiliated voters
9:45
Speaker 1: up because they're going to see way more money in
9:47
Speaker 1: their paycheck every month or every week or every two weeks.
9:51
Speaker 1: And that's where it's like, oh, okay, yeah, the other party,
9:54
Speaker 1: Joe Biden never did this for me. I'm now a
9:57
Speaker 1: big fan of this policy. I don't want to let
9:59
Speaker 1: it go. That's literally changing my life now. The Insider
10:02
Speaker 1: Advantage poll also showed stronger numbers for the president than
10:06
Speaker 1: those reflected in the real polling national average. Now that's
10:10
Speaker 1: where they take multiple polls, they average them together, all right,
10:13
Speaker 1: that finds some of the forty four percent approval rating
10:16
Speaker 1: and a fifty three percent disapproval rating as of early
10:19
Speaker 1: Monday afternoon. I do believe that some of those polls
10:21
Speaker 1: are just skewed heavily against the president. That's the reason
10:25
Speaker 1: why I'm not as worried and I go back to
10:27
Speaker 1: the main point here.
10:29
Speaker 2: Donald Trump has made it clear.
10:31
Speaker 1: That his job is to make life easier for everyone.
10:37
Speaker 1: His job is for you to be able to make
10:39
Speaker 1: it on your own in life without the government ruining
10:44
Speaker 1: it for you. He believes that the government shouldn't be
10:46
Speaker 1: your sugar daddy. He believes the government shouldn't be subsidizing
10:50
Speaker 1: you all the time. That's the other reason why the
10:52
Speaker 1: President of United States of America is doing it this way.
10:57
Speaker 1: And I really, really, really genuinely appreciate the present doing
11:00
Speaker 1: it this way.
11:02
Speaker 2: Operation Overlord, the D Day Beaches.
11:05
Speaker 1: You and I share a passion for history, so I
11:07
Speaker 1: hope you'll join me next spring on the D Day
11:10
Speaker 1: Beaches in Normandy. That's right, the invasion that sealed Hitler's doom.
11:15
Speaker 1: Oh Maha and Utah. You're gonna discover the sacred patch
11:18
Speaker 1: of sand with me ten days in Europe, luxury hotels

Speaker 1: message from my Heart Media. Now I want to move
12:03
Speaker 1: on to another issue, and that is the President. The
12:06
Speaker 1: other night when he addressed the nation. You may have
12:08
Speaker 1: noticed he didn't talk about Venezuela. He didn't talk about
12:11
Speaker 1: going after the cartels, he didn't talk about shipbuilding, he
12:14
Speaker 1: didn't talk about those types of issues. And there was
12:17
Speaker 1: a lot of people that were expecting it, and he
12:18
Speaker 1: didn't do it. Why because he wanted to focus on
12:21
Speaker 1: the economy and the issues that I just talked about.
12:23
Speaker 1: But what the President is doing is making a special
12:26
Speaker 1: announcement in mar A Lago.
12:28
Speaker 2: And next to him.
12:29
Speaker 1: Is the Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and the Secretary
12:34
Speaker 1: of War Pete Hedgseth, and the President United States of
12:36
Speaker 1: America came out just a few moments ago, and I
12:39
Speaker 1: want you to hear what he had to say.
12:42
Speaker 4: So first renderings of what we're doing. So I want
12:47
Speaker 4: to wish everybody a big hello and Merry Christmas, and
12:50
Speaker 4: welcome to mar A Lago for this exciting announcement of
12:54
Speaker 4: the new Golden Fleet. We're calling it the Golden Fleet
12:58
Speaker 4: that we're building for the United States Navy. As you know,
13:01
Speaker 4: we're desperately in need of ships. Our ships are some
13:04
Speaker 4: of them have gotten old and tired and obsolete, and
13:08
Speaker 4: we're going to go to the exact opposite direction. We're
13:11
Speaker 4: delighted to be joined by Secretary of War Pete Hegseath's
13:14
Speaker 4: doing a fantastic job, and Secretary of the Navy John
13:18
Speaker 4: Falin Marco Rubio is here, who gave a great few
13:24
Speaker 4: words for the end of last week. He spoke for
13:27
Speaker 4: a couple of hours on what a good job we're doing,
13:30
Speaker 4: which is true. As Commander in Chief, it is my
13:33
Speaker 4: great honor to announce that I have approved a plan
13:37
Speaker 4: for the Navy to begin the construction of two brand new,
13:40
Speaker 4: very large, largest we've.
13:42
Speaker 3: Ever built battleships.
13:45
Speaker 4: You know, you used to build the Iowa, the Missouri,
13:50
Speaker 4: the Wisconsin, the Alabama, and many others.
13:52
Speaker 3: We had big battleships.
13:54
Speaker 4: These are bigger, but they will have one hundred times
13:58
Speaker 4: the There'll be one hundred times the force, the power,
14:03
Speaker 4: and there's never been anything like these ships. These have
14:08
Speaker 4: been under design consideration for a long time and it
14:13
Speaker 4: started with me in my first term because they.
14:16
Speaker 3: Said, why aren't we doing battleships like we used to?
14:19
Speaker 4: And the these are the best in the world, will
14:24
Speaker 4: be the fastest, the biggest, and by far one hundred
14:27
Speaker 4: times more powerful than any battleship ever built. So if
14:31
Speaker 4: you look at the Iowa, the Missouri, Wisconsin, Alabama, and others,
14:35
Speaker 4: but they were similar in size. Some are a little bit
14:39
Speaker 4: bigger than the others, but if you take the biggest one,
14:42
Speaker 4: it's one hundred times more powerful. They are longer by
14:48
Speaker 4: a little bit, but the and they're bigger. They're bigger ships,
14:52
Speaker 4: but they hold much more. They use the word lethality.
14:56
Speaker 4: Battleships are the largest, sturdiest, and most armed vessel built
15:01
Speaker 4: specifically for naval combat. While America has built many new
15:05
Speaker 4: warships over the years, they've been they've tended to be
15:09
Speaker 4: smaller and much smaller and not conducive to where we
15:16
Speaker 4: are and where we're going and peace through strength. But
15:21
Speaker 4: including we've been building aircraft carriers. We're going to be
15:24
Speaker 4: upping that. Also, we're going to be going to a
15:28
Speaker 4: superior aircraft.
15:29
Speaker 3: We have the Ford Class.
15:31
Speaker 4: We're going to be upping that to a different class
15:34
Speaker 4: of aircraft carrier.
15:37
Speaker 3: And we haven't built.
15:39
Speaker 4: The battleship since nineteen ninety four. These cutting edge vessels
15:43
Speaker 4: will be some of the most lethal surface warfare ships.
15:48
Speaker 4: It will be actually the most ever built. Other than
15:51
Speaker 4: our submarines. We have submarines which will have in many
15:54
Speaker 4: ways even more lethality, and we have many of them
15:59
Speaker 4: under construction. Each one of these will be the largest
16:04
Speaker 4: battleship in the history of our country, the largest battleship
16:07
Speaker 4: in the history of the world ever built. And again
16:10
Speaker 4: it's one hundred times more powerful than the previous Iowa
16:15
Speaker 4: class it's called. Those are the big ones that you'd
16:17
Speaker 4: see on a show Victory at Sea. I don't know
16:19
Speaker 4: if anyone seeing Victory at Sea, but it was a classic.
16:23
Speaker 4: They'll help maintain American military supremacy, revive the American shipbuilding industry,
16:29
Speaker 4: and inspire fear in America's enemies all over the world.
16:32
Speaker 4: We want respect, We're going to have it. We already
16:35
Speaker 4: have it more respected now than we ever were a
16:39
Speaker 4: year and a half ago, they laughed at us. Now
16:41
Speaker 4: they respect us again at levels that they've never respected us.
16:45
Speaker 4: We envisioned that these two ships were talking about ten,
16:49
Speaker 4: but we're going to start with two, and we're going
16:51
Speaker 4: to quickly morph into ten, and ultimately we think it's
16:54
Speaker 4: going to be anywhere from twenty to twenty five of these.
16:57
Speaker 4: But we're starting with the first two immediately. We're going
17:00
Speaker 4: to then be very quickly involved with I think we're
17:05
Speaker 4: going to do another eight, and then we're going to
17:07
Speaker 4: ultimately and pretty quickly have a total of about twenty
17:12
Speaker 4: to twenty five.
17:13
Speaker 3: Will make that determination.
17:15
Speaker 4: We envisioned that these ships will be the first of
17:19
Speaker 4: a whole new class of battleships to be produced in
17:22
Speaker 4: the years to come. From Theodore Roosevelt the Great White Fleet,
17:28
Speaker 4: you remember that, the Great White Fleet, to the legendary
17:32
Speaker 4: USS Missouri whose massive guns helped win World War Two.
17:37
Speaker 4: America's battleships have always been unmistakable symbols of national power.
17:42
Speaker 4: We stopped making them for whatever reason, I don't know.
17:47
Speaker 4: And I want to congratulate John Thalen, who is your
17:53
Speaker 4: Secretary Secretary of the name.
17:54
Speaker 3: He came to me.
17:55
Speaker 4: The first day we met, he talked about battleships.
17:58
Speaker 3: And I said, your appsent on the right track.
18:01
Speaker 4: He said, why are we doing other things? We have missiles,
18:05
Speaker 4: which are much more expensive. By the way, these battleships
18:07
Speaker 4: have tremendous numbers of missiles, but they also have guns,
18:11
Speaker 4: and in many ways, guns can do the trick just
18:13
Speaker 4: as well as missiles at a tiny fraction of the coast.
18:18
Speaker 4: Once completed, these new thirty to forty thousand ton plus
18:24
Speaker 4: vessels will be the flagships of the American Naval fleet,
18:28
Speaker 4: and they'll be never There has never been anything built.
18:32
Speaker 1: Like them, never been anything built like them. Trump Class destroyers.
18:39
Speaker 1: He's got the renderings up. It truly is incredible. This
18:42
Speaker 1: is now what the President's saying about totally revitalizing our military.
18:47
Speaker 2: Let me just say, this is exactly what I voted for.
18:52
Speaker 1: President Donald Trump, speaking from mar A Lago, talking about
18:56
Speaker 1: building our military new ships that our military desperately needs,
19:01
Speaker 1: and not just talking about that, but clearly being the
19:04
Speaker 1: most transparent president in modern political history. At a more
19:09
Speaker 1: than fifty minute press conference, the president took questions about
19:13
Speaker 1: building the new Golden Fleet, about the Golden Fleet counters
19:18
Speaker 1: with China intercepting drugs on land and what could happen
19:22
Speaker 1: with possible attacks on land, what he was going to
19:25
Speaker 1: do with the seased oil of oil tankers coming out
19:28
Speaker 1: of Venezuela and the Black Fleet of oil tankers that
19:32
Speaker 1: also deal with Iran. He also was asked about Venezuela
19:35
Speaker 1: and US oil companies working together, and he was asked
19:39
Speaker 1: about Bill Clinton and Jeffrey Epstein a workforce to build
19:43
Speaker 1: the Golden Fleet that will help American workers. The endgame
19:47
Speaker 1: with Maduro was also covered. He was asked about Colombia
19:51
Speaker 1: and the president there and could that be next after
19:54
Speaker 1: Venezuela and a new envoy to Greenland. He was asked
19:58
Speaker 1: about the war with Ukraine and rusas show had he's
20:01
Speaker 1: spoken with Vladimir puter Zelenski recently and what do they say?
20:05
Speaker 1: And then the pursuit of other oil tankers came up.
20:08
Speaker 1: Would America continued to push forward with that and is
20:12
Speaker 1: the goal of Forstman Duro from power. He also talked
20:16
Speaker 1: about healthcare insurers meetings and exactly what had happened there
20:21
Speaker 1: now the President making it clear there is nothing he
20:24
Speaker 1: is unwilling to discuss. There's no question that he is saying, no,
20:28
Speaker 1: I'm not going to answer that. This is part of
20:31
Speaker 1: the president being the most transparent president in modern political history.
20:36
Speaker 1: One of the big questions was about the Epstein files,
20:40
Speaker 1: and there was an awful lot of pictures that came
20:42
Speaker 1: out of a former president by the name of Bill
20:45
Speaker 1: Clinton with Jeffrey Epstein. The President's response may be one
20:49
Speaker 1: that will surprise you. I want you to hear what
20:51
Speaker 1: he had to say.
20:53
Speaker 5: Thank you, mister president. Were you surprised by the number
20:55
Speaker 5: of photos of Bill Clinton and the Epstein files? And
20:58
Speaker 5: you can you commit to their And we've pride in
21:02
Speaker 5: the number of photos of Bill Clinton in the Epstein files,
21:05
Speaker 5: and can you commit to their full release by the
21:07
Speaker 5: end of the year. Some of the victims were protesting
21:09
Speaker 5: that too many of them were retacted.
21:10
Speaker 4: I know there are a lot of people that are
21:12
Speaker 4: angry about all of the pictures of other people, you know,
21:16
Speaker 4: but I think it's terrible. But look, I don't like
21:19
Speaker 4: the I like Bill Clinton. I've always gotten along with
21:21
Speaker 4: Bill Clinton. They've been nice to him, he's been nice
21:23
Speaker 4: to me. We've always gotten along respect him. I hate
21:26
Speaker 4: to see photos come out of him, But this is
21:28
Speaker 4: what the Democrats, mostly Democrats, and a couple of bad
21:31
Speaker 4: Republicans are asking for so they give me their photos
21:35
Speaker 4: of me too. Everybody was friendly with this guy, either
21:37
Speaker 4: friendly or not friendly.
21:39
Speaker 3: But then you know he was around.
21:40
Speaker 4: He was all over Palm Beach and other places. The
21:42
Speaker 4: head of Harvard was his best friends Larry Summers, and
21:45
Speaker 4: Bill Clint was a friend of his, but everybody was
21:48
Speaker 4: I actually threw him out of mare A Lago and
21:51
Speaker 4: as I you know, as a person who was in
21:53
Speaker 4: Mara Alago, I threw him at of mar A Lagos.
21:56
Speaker 3: This is mar Alaga.
21:57
Speaker 4: It's the hottest place, and I think it's the hardest
21:59
Speaker 4: place in the world. But it's the hottest place in Florida.
22:03
Speaker 4: And everybody would come here, he'd come here. We actually
22:05
Speaker 4: threw them out. But no, I don't like the pictures
22:08
Speaker 4: of Bill Clinton being shown. I don't like the pictures
22:10
Speaker 4: of other people being shown. I think it's a terrible thing.
22:13
Speaker 4: I think Bill Lynton's a big boy, he can handle it.
22:17
Speaker 4: But you probably have pictures being exposed of other people
22:22
Speaker 4: that innocently met Jeffrey Epstein years ago, many years ago,
22:26
Speaker 4: and they're you know, highly respected bankers and lawyers, and others,
22:31
Speaker 4: and they'll end up because of guys like Massw's a
22:34
Speaker 4: real low life. His falls it down to about nine percent.
22:37
Speaker 4: By the way, the great state of Kentucky. If you
22:39
Speaker 4: look at Kentucky, Kentucky is such a great place, but
22:44
Speaker 4: I don't know. They've got a couple of people in
22:47
Speaker 4: there that are very strange in terms of leadership. With
22:50
Speaker 4: Massey's a loser and he likes it, and that he
22:53
Speaker 4: works with the Democrats. He's just being used by the
22:56
Speaker 4: Democrats because what this whole thing is with Epstein is
22:59
Speaker 4: a way of trying to deflect from the tremendous success
23:02
Speaker 4: that the Republican Party has, Like for instance, today we're
23:06
Speaker 4: building the biggest ships in the world, most powerful ships
23:08
Speaker 4: in the world, and they're asking me questions about Jeffrey Epstein.
23:12
Speaker 3: I thought that was finished.
23:14
Speaker 4: I believe they gave over one hundred thousand pages of
23:16
Speaker 4: documents and there is tremendous back list. It's an interesting
23:21
Speaker 4: question because a lot of people are very angry that
23:24
Speaker 4: pictures are being released of other people that really had
23:26
Speaker 4: nothing to do with Epstein, but they're in a picture
23:28
Speaker 4: with him because he was at a party and you
23:31
Speaker 4: ruin a reputation of somebody. So a lot of people
23:34
Speaker 4: are very angry that this continues.
23:37
Speaker 3: A lot of Republicans are.
23:38
Speaker 4: Angry because of the fact that it's just used to
23:40
Speaker 4: deflect against the tremendous success Look.
23:43
Speaker 1: We have eight the president talking about those tremendous successes
23:47
Speaker 1: and yet again having to deal with the Epstein files
23:50
Speaker 1: that have been released. The President wanting to talk about
23:53
Speaker 1: other issues as well. One of the things he talked
23:56
Speaker 1: about is about American investment. This is one of the
24:01
Speaker 1: things he says is really important that he's working on.
24:05
Speaker 4: We're doing a great job and we enjoy doing it.
24:08
Speaker 4: Our border is secure, our country is strong. Trillions of
24:12
Speaker 4: dollars is coming into our country from other countries and companies.
24:16
Speaker 4: They're building factories and plants, including auto plants, all over
24:20
Speaker 4: the United States of America. Without tariffs, they wouldn't be
24:23
Speaker 4: doing anything. Although they were very happy with the November
24:26
Speaker 4: fifth election, but it's only because they want to avoid
24:29
Speaker 4: paying tariffs that they're all coming in. And again, the
24:31
Speaker 4: biggest number was three trillion dollars in history.
24:34
Speaker 3: That was China many years ago.
24:37
Speaker 4: Now it's eighteen trillion dollars, and that's just in ten months,
24:41
Speaker 4: we think we could hit twenty trillion dollars. That's investment
24:44
Speaker 4: in the United States, including plant and equipment.
24:47
Speaker 1: So you listen to the present talk about the investment.
24:51
Speaker 1: He also talked about protecting Americans when it comes to drugs.
24:56
Speaker 1: Something else that he says a very important point of
24:59
Speaker 1: his administry and it's something that we must stand firm on.
25:04
Speaker 1: Part of that is dealing with the cocaine coming out
25:07
Speaker 1: of Colombia. The President asked about Colombian here's what he said, Yeah, go.
25:13
Speaker 3: Ahead, please.
25:14
Speaker 6: So in response to the United States taking sanction oil
25:17
Speaker 6: from from Venezuela, Colombian President Gustavo Petro criticize the United
25:22
Speaker 6: States by saying, well, the Southwest has stolen land and
25:24
Speaker 6: that it should be returned to Latin America. I just
25:26
Speaker 6: wanted to know what your response to that.
25:28
Speaker 4: Well, he has to watch because you know, he's got
25:30
Speaker 4: drug factors. They make cocaine in Colombia and he's no
25:35
Speaker 4: friend of the United States. He's very bad, very big guy,
25:39
Speaker 4: and he's got to watch his ass because he makes
25:42
Speaker 4: cocaine and they send it into the United States of
25:44
Speaker 4: America from Colombia. We love the Colombian people.
25:49
Speaker 3: I love the Colombian people.
25:50
Speaker 4: They're great people, energetic, smart, great But their new leader
25:54
Speaker 4: is a troublemaker, and he better watch it. You better
25:58
Speaker 4: close up those cocaine facts. If at least three major
26:02
Speaker 4: cocaine factories we know where they are, he better close
26:05
Speaker 4: them up fast.
26:06
Speaker 1: Yet, he better closed them up fast. The President also
26:11
Speaker 1: wasn't done there, as he talked about this major important
26:15
Speaker 1: announcement that deals with the Golden Fleet of battleships, saying
26:20
Speaker 1: these are the best in the world in long overdue.
26:24
Speaker 4: So I want to wish everybody a big hello and
26:26
Speaker 4: merry Christmas, and welcome to mar A Lago for this
26:30
Speaker 4: exciting announcement of the new Golden Fleet. We're calling at
26:34
Speaker 4: the Golden Fleet that we're building for the United States Navy.
26:38
Speaker 4: As you know, we're.
26:39
Speaker 3: Desperately in need of ships.
26:40
Speaker 4: Our ships are some of them have gotten old and
26:43
Speaker 4: tired and obsolete, and we're going to go to the
26:46
Speaker 4: exact opposite direction. We're delighted to be joined by Secretary
26:51
Speaker 4: of War Pete Hegseath is doing a fantastic job, and
26:54
Speaker 4: Secretary of.
26:54
Speaker 3: The Navy John Fhalen.
26:57
Speaker 4: Marco Rubio is here who gave a great a few words.
27:02
Speaker 4: For the end of last week, he spoke for a
27:05
Speaker 4: couple of hours on what a good job we're.
27:07
Speaker 3: Doing, which is true.
27:10
Speaker 4: As Commander in chief, it's my great honor to announce
27:12
Speaker 4: that I have approved a plan for the Navy to
27:15
Speaker 4: begin the construction of two brand new, very large, the
27:19
Speaker 4: largest we've ever built battleships. You know, you used to
27:24
Speaker 4: build the Iowa, the Missouri, the Wisconsin, the Alabama, and
27:29
Speaker 4: many others.
27:30
Speaker 3: We had big battleships.
27:32
Speaker 4: These are bigger, but they will have one hundred times
27:36
Speaker 4: There will be one hundred times the force, the power,
27:41
Speaker 4: and there's never been anything like these ships. These have
27:46
Speaker 4: been under design consideration for a long time, and it
27:51
Speaker 4: started with me in my first term because they said,
27:54
Speaker 4: why aren't we.
27:54
Speaker 3: Doing battleships like we used to?
27:57
Speaker 4: And the these are the best in the world. It
28:01
Speaker 4: will be the fastest, the biggest, and by far one
28:04
Speaker 4: hundred times more powerful than any battleship ever built. So
28:09
Speaker 4: if you look at the Iowa, the Missouri, Wisconsin, Alabama,
28:12
Speaker 4: and others, but they were similar in size, some a
28:16
Speaker 4: little bit bigger than the others.
28:17
Speaker 3: But if you.
28:18
Speaker 4: Take the biggest one, it's one hundred times more powerful.
28:23
Speaker 4: They are longer by a little bit, but the and
28:29
Speaker 4: they're bigger. They're bigger ships, but they hold much more.
28:32
Speaker 4: They use the word lethality. Battleships are the largest, sturdiest,
28:36
Speaker 4: and most heavily armed vessel built specifically for naval combat.
28:42
Speaker 4: While America has built many new warships over the years,
28:45
Speaker 4: they've they've tended to be smaller and much smaller, and
28:52
Speaker 4: not conducive to where we are and where we're going
28:56
Speaker 4: and peace to restrength.
28:58
Speaker 1: President Trump yet again saying A, I'll talk about anything. B.
29:03
Speaker 2: I'm going to keep you safe. C.
29:05
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make sure that we bring jobs back to
29:08
Speaker 1: this country. Making this fleet be built in America, something
29:13
Speaker 1: we stopped doing, and we're far too reliant on foreign
29:17
Speaker 1: countries for our ship making. This is all part of
29:21
Speaker 1: his plan to put America first and from a national
29:24
Speaker 1: security standpoint, and the President saying I'll stand here and
29:27
Speaker 1: answer as many questions as I need to. It's important
29:31
Speaker 1: that you have a president that's transparent, and that is
29:34
Speaker 1: exactly what Donald Trump did yet again on a multitude
29:38
Speaker 1: of issues. Don't forget Share this podcast wherever you can
29:41
Speaker 1: with your family and your friends, and I'll see you
29:43
Speaker 1: back here tomorrow.
