1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,680
Speaker 1: And that leads us to the latest poll. This is

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: a Reuter's IPSOS poll. It was conducted January twenty third

3
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 1: through the twenty fifth, and it says that public approval

4
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: of President Trump's immigration policy has dropped to its lowest

5
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: level since his return to the White House. Now, of course,

6
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 1: this decline does follow what's going on in Minneapolis. Fifty

7
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: three percent disapprove of his immigration policy and only thirty

8
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: nine percent approved. That's down from forty one percent which

9
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 1: happened earlier this month.

10
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 2: You know, on the surface, when you hear this information,

11
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 2: my first thought is, oh gosh, this is a pretty

12
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 2: big deal for Trump. I mean, he ran on securing

13
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 2: the border and immigration. It's always been one of his

14
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 2: top polling items. You know, when they ask the question,

15
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 2: you know, who do you trust to do you know

16
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 2: the best job at border enforcement and immigration? You know,

17
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 2: the Democrats or Donald Trump? And Trump's had great poll

18
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 2: numbers for this and now because of what we've seen

19
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 2: with the incestional headlines associated with Ice, not a surprise

20
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 2: that his approval rating when it comes to immigration enforcement

21
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 2: has dipped a bit. But at the end, I don't

22
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 2: even know if any of these poll numbers matter for Trump.

23
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 2: The guy just keeps able to move forward regardless of

24
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:16,279
Speaker 2: what his poll numbers look like. I mean, he's nothing

25
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 2: seems to stick to him. He's always going to have

26
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 2: this hardcore base of about forty percent of the country

27
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 2: that's gonna love him no matter what he does. So

28
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 2: I'm torn a little bit on this as to whether

29
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 2: or not this is actually something Trump should be worried

30
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 2: about or not, because everything anytime that there's been any

31
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 2: criticism of Trump, and we're going on over you know,

32
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 2: ten years now that he's either been president or former president,

33
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 2: it hasn't seemed to really matter at all that much.

34
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, he did win reelection promising that major surge in deportations,

35
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: and he's moving forward with that. Go to Minneapolis, fix

36
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: the problem, do some reassignment of some of the leaders,

37
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: and continue on with what's next. And I believe what's

38
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: next in Donald Trump's size Cuba. Yeah.

39
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, And Donald Trump has had a lot of success

40
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 2: on the foreign policy standpoint, you know, especially when you know,

41
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 2: think back to April and he was rolling out his

42
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 2: tariffs all over the place, and you had economic experts

43
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 2: and political experts, this is the worst idea we've ever seen.

44
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 2: We're gonna see prices rise dramatically because of these tariffs,

45
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 2: and it's going to crush the American public. And Okay,

46
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 2: so tariffs may have been a little bit associated with inflation,

47
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 2: but it really hasn't been this you know, shock to

48
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 2: the system that we saw during COVID with inflation, and

49
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 2: I think this is kind of kind of playing that

50
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 2: out too again. It is as it relates to what's

51
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 2: going on with ICE. The images that come out with

52
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 2: these incidents are not good. Clearly, they're gonna give Trump

53
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 2: a black eye. They're gonna give immigration enforcement a black eye.

54
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 2: But we just had that poll that we talked about

55
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 2: a few days ago that agree completely that say, yes,

56
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 2: I agree. It was almost ninety percent of the American

57
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 2: public agree that illegal immigrants should be deported back to

58
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 2: their home country. So I think this is something where

59
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 2: if Donald Trump can get the visuals cleared up, if

60
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 2: we can stop having these aggressive run ins with ICE agents,

61
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 2: not saying that it's the ICE agent's fault, not saying

62
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 2: it's you know, it's not their fault, just saying if

63
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 2: we can get those images off of social media and

64
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,679
Speaker 2: off of television, it's likely that Donald Trump's numbers on

65
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 2: immigration just go back to where they were before and

66
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 2: on the way up again.
