WEBVTT - TRUMP IS LOSING ONE APPROVAL POINT EVERY FIVE DAYS - 5.1.25 0:00:04.795 --> 0:00:22.915 Countdown with Keith Olderman is a production of iHeartRadio. Donald 0:00:23.075 --> 0:00:28.915 Trump is the greatest president of all time at losing 0:00:29.075 --> 0:00:34.675 support in the polls as fast as humanly possible. He 0:00:34.795 --> 0:00:39.595 has hemorrhaged approval. He has turned his honeymoon into a divorce, 0:00:40.115 --> 0:00:42.595 and he is setting up a Democratic landslide next year 0:00:42.675 --> 0:00:46.715 if only the Democrats would try. And the evidence went 0:00:46.835 --> 0:00:50.035 by so fast, the real report card on the first 0:00:50.035 --> 0:00:52.675 one hundred days, well one hundred and two days, It 0:00:52.755 --> 0:00:57.115 went by so fast almost nobody noticed. Elliot Morris, the 0:00:57.235 --> 0:01:00.755 last king of five thirty eight dot com, now in 0:01:00.875 --> 0:01:06.395 charge of Strength in Numbers, calculated the chase in Trump's approval, 0:01:06.675 --> 0:01:11.155 the depth of his sinking underwater since day one to 0:01:11.275 --> 0:01:14.715 day one hundred, and it is the worst in American 0:01:14.835 --> 0:01:19.195 polling history dating back to nineteen fifty three, worse even 0:01:19.235 --> 0:01:23.315 than Trump's own first term. He was a net plus 0:01:23.435 --> 0:01:26.355 nine at the time of his inauguration, and he is 0:01:26.435 --> 0:01:32.315 at minus ten now plus nine to minus ten in 0:01:32.315 --> 0:01:35.955 one hundred days. And the minus ten is itself a 0:01:35.995 --> 0:01:41.195 presidential record. The move from positive territory to gurgle, gurgle, 0:01:41.275 --> 0:01:44.675 You're drowning is a record. The dispelling of the notion 0:01:44.795 --> 0:01:48.075 that he might be okay. This fast is a record. 0:01:48.315 --> 0:01:54.195 He is the most worst president of all time. As 0:01:54.315 --> 0:01:59.275 Morris notes, only Gerald Ford is even in Trump's league, 0:01:59.555 --> 0:02:03.195 and even after Ford pardon Nixon and shed half his support, 0:02:03.515 --> 0:02:06.635 Ford was still a net plus and a net plus 0:02:06.675 --> 0:02:09.595 twenty four at one hundred days. Carter was a net 0:02:09.635 --> 0:02:12.795 plus fifty five. George W. Bush was a net plus 0:02:12.835 --> 0:02:18.995 twenty seven. Trump is a net minus ten. He is drowning. 0:02:19.515 --> 0:02:23.435 He is losing an average of one approval point every 0:02:23.435 --> 0:02:27.075 five days. At this rate, by early August, he would 0:02:27.115 --> 0:02:31.675 be at net minus thirty. I mean, this is worse 0:02:31.715 --> 0:02:34.875 than the economy. That's how bad these numbers are. Trump 0:02:34.955 --> 0:02:37.355 only wasted seven percent of the value of the stock 0:02:37.395 --> 0:02:40.355 market in the first hundred days, and gross domestic product 0:02:40.395 --> 0:02:42.475 only shrank three tenths of a point when it was 0:02:42.475 --> 0:02:44.995 supposed to continue the huge growth that had under Biden. 0:02:45.595 --> 0:02:49.515 Trump went from net plus ten to net minus ten 0:02:49.875 --> 0:02:54.275 in one hundred days. And that's just the start. The 0:02:54.355 --> 0:02:58.875 Republican internal polling may be even worse than that, if 0:02:58.915 --> 0:03:03.075 that is mathematically possible. This is from punch Bowl News. 0:03:03.315 --> 0:03:08.035 Trump's approval rating is underwater, and our CC chair Richard 0:03:08.075 --> 0:03:12.515 Hudson told House Republicans during a private meeting on Capitol Hill, 0:03:12.835 --> 0:03:18.035 this is the Republican Congressional Committee to elect Republicans to Congress. 0:03:18.315 --> 0:03:22.635 Their poll, conducted April to thirteenth to eighteenth in competitive 0:03:22.635 --> 0:03:26.475 House seats, has forty six percent of respondents approving of 0:03:26.515 --> 0:03:30.675 Trump's performance fifty three percent disapproving. This is roughly in 0:03:30.755 --> 0:03:35.435 line with public polling data. Trump is seven points underwater 0:03:35.755 --> 0:03:39.235 in vulnerable House seats, many of them now held by 0:03:39.435 --> 0:03:46.195 Republican congress people. Aggressive democratic campaigning focused on freedom, democracy, 0:03:46.515 --> 0:03:51.715 Trump's psychosis, Trump causing prices to rise, Trump threatening SS 0:03:51.715 --> 0:03:55.595 and medicare, Trump trying to kill small businesses in favor 0:03:55.595 --> 0:03:59.915 of monopolies and cartels. Trump abducting Americans, Trump running a 0:03:59.995 --> 0:04:05.115 child trafficking gang, Trump threatening the constitution, Trump constantly denying reality, 0:04:05.315 --> 0:04:10.355 Trump threatening judges, Trump threatening you, Trump causing your costs 0:04:10.395 --> 0:04:13.315 to go through the roof. That could lead to a 0:04:13.355 --> 0:04:17.515 democratic landslide next year. And you can run on every 0:04:17.675 --> 0:04:22.235 kitchen table issue you want and against Trump and for 0:04:22.435 --> 0:04:29.915 democracy in the same sentence. Happily, the Democrats are poised 0:04:29.915 --> 0:04:33.875 to take advantage of this polling opportunity to who the 0:04:33.915 --> 0:04:39.155 hell am I kidding? This is a simple fix. You 0:04:39.395 --> 0:04:43.955 just have to not be Chuck Schumer anymore. Chuck Schumer, 0:04:44.795 --> 0:04:49.355 who is somehow in charge, did say something yesterday at 0:04:49.395 --> 0:04:52.795 a Senate hearing about how Trump quote doesn't deserve to 0:04:52.835 --> 0:04:56.755 be president. Schumer says he is planning to maintain his 0:04:56.835 --> 0:05:03.595 current strategy in the Senate, which is do nothing but 0:05:03.835 --> 0:05:09.475 try to negotiate more bipartisan appropriations bills with Republicans when 0:05:09.555 --> 0:05:13.635 Republican voters are headed for the lifeboats about Trump in 0:05:13.715 --> 0:05:20.995 winnable congressional districts and winnable Senate seats, Schumer says he 0:05:21.035 --> 0:05:26.595 thinks he can chip away at Trump's popularity. Trump's popularity 0:05:26.635 --> 0:05:30.155 the one thing they can let Trump take care of himself. 0:05:33.915 --> 0:05:36.995 But back to the good news, boy, is all of 0:05:37.035 --> 0:05:42.795 these poll and stuffs pissing Trump off? The poles from 0:05:42.795 --> 0:05:45.835 the fake news are like the news itself fake. We're 0:05:45.915 --> 0:05:50.475 doing great, better than ever before. As they noted the 0:05:50.475 --> 0:05:53.115 other day, Trump's rage is fueled in part because those 0:05:53.195 --> 0:05:55.875 around him have learned to lie to him to keep 0:05:55.955 --> 0:06:00.355 him controllable. They are telling him the polls are fake. 0:06:01.155 --> 0:06:06.195 Did you see the televised Cabinet meeting yesterday, a series 0:06:06.235 --> 0:06:10.915 of ever increasing lies about how wonderful and gorgeous he is. 0:06:13.315 --> 0:06:16.915 And they told him this, and he raged before the 0:06:16.995 --> 0:06:20.435 Fox News poll, which not only showed how far he 0:06:20.635 --> 0:06:25.195 was underwater personally, but pointed out and measured how close 0:06:25.235 --> 0:06:31.235 the individual sharks are to him. Border security, there he 0:06:31.395 --> 0:06:36.435 is ahead. He's above water fifteen percent. Everything else not 0:06:36.595 --> 0:06:41.595 so much. Underwater on immigration by a point, underwater, on 0:06:41.715 --> 0:06:47.555 deportations by four points, underwater, on guns by three, underwater, 0:06:47.675 --> 0:06:51.915 on foreign policy by fourteen, underwater on taxes by fifteen, 0:06:52.195 --> 0:06:57.315 on the economy by sixteen, on tariffs by twenty. On 0:06:57.555 --> 0:07:03.155 inflation thirty three percent approved, fifty nine percent disapprove one 0:07:03.235 --> 0:07:07.835 hundred days in and Trump, who guaranteed to lower prices, 0:07:08.195 --> 0:07:13.875 is twenty six points underwater on inflation. The White House 0:07:13.915 --> 0:07:20.115 responds to this a disaster at every turn except border 0:07:20.155 --> 0:07:24.595 security from the Ministry of Truth. Steven Miller says to 0:07:24.715 --> 0:07:28.795 John Roberts on Fox News. There is our opinion that 0:07:28.835 --> 0:07:30.995 Fox News needs to fire its polster. 0:07:32.915 --> 0:07:33.115 War. 0:07:33.235 --> 0:07:35.795 Miller on Fox News is also our opinion that I 0:07:35.835 --> 0:07:39.875 have long flowing luxurious bond hair, and Fox News needs 0:07:39.875 --> 0:08:10.875 to fire it's cameras. On the other hand, Trump did 0:08:10.955 --> 0:08:17.955 have success in one poll, the Canadian election on inauguration Day, 0:08:18.355 --> 0:08:21.915 Trump's inauguration Day, the Conservatives of Canada led the Liberals 0:08:21.915 --> 0:08:28.955 in polling forty five to twenty two Monday, the Liberals won. 0:08:30.115 --> 0:08:34.835 Conservative leader Pierre paulev first lost his ass then he 0:08:34.915 --> 0:08:38.275 lost his seat. He's out of parliament, although he can 0:08:38.355 --> 0:08:41.515 try to coerce some sap who got elected to resign 0:08:41.795 --> 0:08:45.435 and hand him his seat or hand him his ass 0:08:46.315 --> 0:08:48.635 The American right wing response to this, it would be 0:08:48.715 --> 0:08:52.355 easier to invade Canada with the Liberals there in charge. 0:08:52.915 --> 0:08:55.475 Or you can look at it this way, it would 0:08:55.475 --> 0:08:59.515 be easier for Canada to invade the US with a 0:08:59.555 --> 0:09:03.835 guy who hates Trump in charge. And remember, Canadians, you 0:09:03.875 --> 0:09:08.035 could to borrow a phrase of somewhat recent vintage. You 0:09:08.115 --> 0:09:12.235 could be greeted as liberators, and you might get help 0:09:13.315 --> 0:09:19.635 from Americans, a few of us, like three hundred million 0:09:20.675 --> 0:09:24.995 or more. The latest on the abduction and human trafficking scam. 0:09:25.115 --> 0:09:28.435 Judge Zennis yesterday denied the ICE and Department of Justice 0:09:28.435 --> 0:09:32.675 GESTAPO a long term delay in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case, 0:09:33.035 --> 0:09:36.715 but gave them de facto small delays by seeing a 0:09:36.795 --> 0:09:39.635 series of deadlines in the next three weeks for sworn 0:09:39.715 --> 0:09:42.715 statements and testimony. This might have had something to do 0:09:43.195 --> 0:09:46.875 with Trump making the faithful and possibly fate ole mistake 0:09:46.955 --> 0:09:50.435 of confessing that, yes, he could get mister Abrago Garcia 0:09:50.555 --> 0:09:55.755 back from l Salvador with one lousy phone call. He 0:09:55.835 --> 0:09:58.515 did this by saying one of the few non ambiguous 0:09:58.555 --> 0:10:01.395 things of his presidency in that sit down interview with 0:10:01.475 --> 0:10:07.555 Terry Moran of ABC quote, I could, I could unquote. 0:10:08.395 --> 0:10:10.315 Marian asked him if he could use that phone on 0:10:10.355 --> 0:10:13.875 the resolute desk and get Abrego Garcia back. I could, 0:10:14.115 --> 0:10:16.275 I could, was the response. And I know this will 0:10:16.315 --> 0:10:19.795 be a controversial interpretation of what Trump said there, but 0:10:19.915 --> 0:10:23.595 I believe that when he said I could, I could, 0:10:23.875 --> 0:10:27.675 that could be read as meaning he could he could. 0:10:29.075 --> 0:10:31.715 Trump then added, and if he were the gentleman that 0:10:31.755 --> 0:10:36.915 you say he is, I would do that. Trump then 0:10:36.995 --> 0:10:39.235 lost even more people who still think he is saying 0:10:39.275 --> 0:10:42.955 by insisting that the tattoos on Abrego Garcia's knuckles wrongly 0:10:42.995 --> 0:10:48.435 identified as representing the gang MS thirteen actually read MS 0:10:48.635 --> 0:10:51.395 one three like m is on the pinky and then 0:10:51.595 --> 0:10:55.315 s and then there's a dash, then one on the forefinger, 0:10:55.395 --> 0:10:57.875 and then three on the thumb. He really thinks that's 0:10:57.995 --> 0:11:02.675 what it says. He really thinks that's on the man's fingers. 0:11:04.835 --> 0:11:08.195 Inadvertently confessed because the ABC interview was not with George 0:11:08.195 --> 0:11:12.995 Stephanoppolis or David Muhre, he was expecting more TV fillatio 0:11:13.075 --> 0:11:16.435 from Terry Moran, apparently unaware that Terry Moran has been 0:11:16.475 --> 0:11:20.395 savaging him online and on the air for a decade. 0:11:20.955 --> 0:11:25.195 Trump he had MSN fifteen known his knuckles tattooed Moran. 0:11:26.155 --> 0:11:29.435 That was photoshopped. Trump, Terry, they're giving you the big 0:11:29.475 --> 0:11:32.355 break of a lifetime. I picked you, but you're not 0:11:32.395 --> 0:11:37.155 being very nice. In other words, Trump just assumed the 0:11:37.195 --> 0:11:41.315 ABC interviewer would join him in Lyne to the world 0:11:41.595 --> 0:11:45.395 about the man he had abducted and renditioned to an 0:11:45.435 --> 0:11:51.395 authoritarian country. Also the big break of a lifetime. Terry 0:11:51.395 --> 0:11:54.875 Moran is sixty four years old. I know he looks youthful, 0:11:55.915 --> 0:11:59.115 but he's sixty four. If he hadn't gotten his big 0:11:59.155 --> 0:12:01.515 break long before, now, Trump, you did not give it 0:12:01.515 --> 0:12:06.155 to him on Tuesday Night. Meanwhile, well, Trump's employee who 0:12:06.235 --> 0:12:09.995 runs Al Salvador for him, completely blew the whole thing. 0:12:10.515 --> 0:12:13.475 As Trump was finally admitting yes, he can get Abrego 0:12:13.515 --> 0:12:17.475 Garcia home, in an instant, President Bucell said no, no, no, 0:12:17.555 --> 0:12:20.515 you can't. As The New York Times put it quote yesterday, 0:12:20.755 --> 0:12:24.395 the Trump administration recently sent a diplomatic note to officials 0:12:24.475 --> 0:12:28.635 in L Salvador to inquire about releasing a Salvadoran immigrant 0:12:28.755 --> 0:12:32.035 whom government officials have been ordered by the Supreme Court 0:12:32.115 --> 0:12:35.395 to help free, according to three people with knowledge of 0:12:35.475 --> 0:12:39.075 the matter, but the authoritarian government of Naid Bukela, the 0:12:39.155 --> 0:12:41.635 leader of L Salvador, said no. Two of the people 0:12:41.675 --> 0:12:44.875 said the Bukela administration claimed the man should stay in L. 0:12:44.955 --> 0:12:48.435 Salvador because he was a Salvadoran citizen. According to one 0:12:48.475 --> 0:12:52.555 of those people, that would have been exactly the statement 0:12:52.675 --> 0:12:56.835 Trump needed to bolster his phony Bolgoni case here if 0:12:56.835 --> 0:13:02.075 he hadn't pre contradicted it in the ABC interview by 0:13:02.115 --> 0:13:04.955 saying yes, I can get him back right now here 0:13:04.995 --> 0:13:11.195 for dinner. No, Moran wasn't very nice, and as usual, 0:13:11.795 --> 0:13:16.155 Trump wasn't very sane on the others, As you know, 0:13:16.235 --> 0:13:19.315 the leader of the Columbia protests. The student Mosenne Madawi, 0:13:19.715 --> 0:13:22.555 was ordered released by a court yesterday after he had 0:13:22.595 --> 0:13:26.955 been kidnapped and detained. Madawi is wrong. He's hurting the 0:13:26.995 --> 0:13:31.155 Palestinian cause more than Netanyahu is. I think he's an idiot. 0:13:31.195 --> 0:13:33.675 But if you want to prosecute him for something, we 0:13:33.795 --> 0:13:37.235 have laws and you follow them and you go to 0:13:37.315 --> 0:13:41.075 a judge. That's why we have laws and judges. Assuming 0:13:41.115 --> 0:13:46.195 we still do. I have nothing new on the Honduras girls, 0:13:46.235 --> 0:13:49.035 including the four year old with cancer. The hearing on 0:13:49.115 --> 0:13:52.075 the girl, the two year old identified as VML and 0:13:52.155 --> 0:13:56.155 the others is two weeks from tomorrow. You will recall, 0:13:56.195 --> 0:13:59.755 though Tom Holman's defense was if they didn't sell Miss 0:13:59.875 --> 0:14:03.915 VML with her mother when they renditioned her mother, we 0:14:03.955 --> 0:14:08.755 would be complaining about his Gestapo separating families. Well, it 0:14:08.795 --> 0:14:11.515 turns out they're doing that as well. ICE sent a 0:14:11.515 --> 0:14:15.915 woman named Heidi Sanchez from a routine immigration check in 0:14:15.915 --> 0:14:20.435 in Tampa back to Cuba without her daughter, her one 0:14:20.515 --> 0:14:23.195 year old daughter, her one year old daughter who was 0:14:23.235 --> 0:14:28.795 still breastfeeding. We really need to make sure Homan and 0:14:28.915 --> 0:14:33.755 NOME and ICE agents and Pam Bondi are tried at 0:14:33.755 --> 0:14:37.835 the International Court of Justice at the Hague. They are 0:14:37.915 --> 0:14:42.355 the peacetime equivalent of war criminals. Then there are the 0:14:42.395 --> 0:14:48.475 new victims. Xavier Salazar of Texas, aged nineteen, was picked 0:14:48.515 --> 0:14:51.595 up shackled on a bus heading towards rendition, probably to 0:14:51.715 --> 0:14:55.355 El Salvador. When the Supreme Court ordered no further abductions 0:14:55.715 --> 0:14:59.995 to other countries, he too was declared MS thirteen by 0:14:59.995 --> 0:15:04.395 the Trump fascists because there was a photo of him 0:15:04.755 --> 0:15:07.675 in his social media standing next to another kid, and 0:15:07.715 --> 0:15:12.755 the other kid had a water pistol a squirt gun. 0:15:13.555 --> 0:15:17.075 The squirt gun in the other kid's hand was enough 0:15:17.275 --> 0:15:20.875 for ICE to mark Salazar down as a member of 0:15:21.155 --> 0:15:26.195 MS thirteen. There is not just the immorality of the 0:15:26.355 --> 0:15:30.395 entire process here, there is also the amazing stupidity and 0:15:30.475 --> 0:15:34.955 the slovenliness and the shoot first, asked questions later with 0:15:35.115 --> 0:15:38.715 a squirt gun quality of each individual case. They are 0:15:38.755 --> 0:15:44.035 trying to kill kids by proxy, using as evidence photos 0:15:44.075 --> 0:15:48.035 of a different kid holding what is not a gun. 0:15:49.475 --> 0:15:52.795 Turns out ICE is also lying about it. Its arrests totals. 0:15:52.915 --> 0:15:57.195 This is from Aaron Reichlan Melnick of the American Immigration Council. 0:15:57.595 --> 0:16:00.275 He writes, Ice clarifies that the one hundred and fifty 0:16:00.275 --> 0:16:02.955 one thousand arrest figure put out by the White House 0:16:03.075 --> 0:16:07.675 is not internal arrests, as Caroline Levitt and DHS have implied. 0:16:07.955 --> 0:16:13.675 The figure likely includes all CBP encounters, including people with 0:16:13.955 --> 0:16:19.315 visa issues at airports. The actual ICE arrest number is 0:16:19.355 --> 0:16:23.395 sixty six thousand, five hundred high, but not historic. On 0:16:23.475 --> 0:16:26.795 March thirteenth, he writes, Ice said the agency had conducted 0:16:26.835 --> 0:16:29.875 thirty two, eight hundred and nine arrests in its first 0:16:29.915 --> 0:16:32.275 fifty days. That would be an average of six hundred 0:16:32.315 --> 0:16:35.875 and fifty six arrests per day. So now they're averaging 0:16:35.955 --> 0:16:39.275 six hundred and sixty five arrests per day. If ICE 0:16:39.355 --> 0:16:41.995 manages to keep up this level of arrests, it would 0:16:42.035 --> 0:16:45.075 reach a level last scene in the first Obama term. 0:16:45.315 --> 0:16:47.875 Six hundred and sixty five arrests a day, on average 0:16:48.035 --> 0:16:50.315 would be two hundred and forty three thousand arrests for 0:16:50.355 --> 0:16:53.155 the year. ICE reported three hundred and twenty two thousand 0:16:53.235 --> 0:16:56.875 arrests in fiscal year twenty eleven, which is still the record. 0:16:57.075 --> 0:16:59.635 In other words, all of this, all of this nightmare, 0:16:59.795 --> 0:17:03.955 all of this destroying of the fabric of the American 0:17:04.035 --> 0:17:10.515 consciousness and the American conscience, and they have to lie 0:17:10.595 --> 0:17:14.195 to make the arrest totals look big. They're not even 0:17:14.315 --> 0:17:20.235 doing their evil well up the road in the administration 0:17:20.355 --> 0:17:24.195 checking in on the administration's alcoholism problem, the Secretary of 0:17:24.235 --> 0:17:28.275 Whiskey has killed a Defense Department program that fostered and 0:17:28.315 --> 0:17:31.595 promoted the contributions of women in the national security area. 0:17:31.915 --> 0:17:37.275 The Women Peace and Security Act WPS basically a backslapping 0:17:37.715 --> 0:17:43.235 thank you card kind of operation. Hegseeth's announcement quote, WPS 0:17:43.315 --> 0:17:47.195 has yet another woke, divisive social justice Biden initiative that 0:17:47.275 --> 0:17:51.035 overburdens our commanders and troops, distracting from our core task. 0:17:51.595 --> 0:17:59.035 Excuse me, war fighting. Department of Defense will hereby executive 0:17:59.115 --> 0:18:02.235 the minimum of WPS required by statute and fight to 0:18:02.355 --> 0:18:06.235 end the program for our next budget. Good riddence. WPS 0:18:08.635 --> 0:18:12.075 Secretary Pete drunk Breath has one small problem here. WPS 0:18:12.195 --> 0:18:19.595 was signed into law by President President Trump. This is 0:18:19.595 --> 0:18:24.475 a Trump program WPS. Trump in twenty seventeen, hag Seth 0:18:24.595 --> 0:18:29.475 just killed a Trump program that was too woke. Why 0:18:29.475 --> 0:18:33.955 did Trump's numbers tank because he became too woke? Back 0:18:34.035 --> 0:18:36.675 then in twenty seventeen, it was championed by people who 0:18:36.675 --> 0:18:39.595 are in the new Trump administration, or, as we all 0:18:39.675 --> 0:18:45.395 are beginning to call it now, Titanic. More bad news 0:18:45.475 --> 0:18:48.835 for mister. The next round is on me an amendment 0:18:49.035 --> 0:18:52.835 to a House bill from Congresswoman Sarah Jacobs of California 0:18:53.515 --> 0:18:58.235 limitation on use of funds for a makeup studio for 0:18:58.315 --> 0:19:01.435 the Secretary of Defense. None of the funds made available 0:19:01.475 --> 0:19:04.195 by this title may be used to construct sustained outfit 0:19:04.355 --> 0:19:08.875 or may a dedicated makeup studio for the Secretary of 0:19:08.915 --> 0:19:12.115 Defense within the Pentagon or any other building under the 0:19:12.195 --> 0:19:17.755 jurisdiction of the Department of Defense. No response to Sarah 0:19:17.795 --> 0:19:24.555 Jacob's amendment from the Secretary of Mabelene the Secretary of Defense, 0:19:26.835 --> 0:19:40.595 Secretary of Defense of Mabelene. Meanwhile, back in the private sector, 0:19:40.915 --> 0:19:46.315 Jeff Bezos is Trump's bitch. What does capitulating to blackmail 0:19:46.355 --> 0:19:50.675 get you, Jeff? What it always gets you more blackmail? 0:19:51.835 --> 0:19:56.875 Timeline one punch Bowl News reported Amazon would start noting 0:19:56.915 --> 0:20:00.275 how much more products on its site cost you because 0:20:00.275 --> 0:20:04.395 of the tariffs. Sixty percent of Amazon sales are from 0:20:04.435 --> 0:20:07.835 the smaller businesses Trump is out to kill with the tariffs. Two. 0:20:08.475 --> 0:20:13.275 Within hours, Amazon publicly denied this. Three after that, lying 0:20:13.475 --> 0:20:17.435 Caroline lying Levitt attacked Amazon. I just got off the 0:20:17.475 --> 0:20:20.675 found with the President at death about Amazon, the announcement 0:20:21.155 --> 0:20:26.875 that the host dial and political act by Amathon four. 0:20:27.275 --> 0:20:31.395 An Amazon spokesman, then denied it was ever even possibly 0:20:31.475 --> 0:20:35.515 remotely chance worthy going to be true. Tim Doyle, the 0:20:35.595 --> 0:20:39.835 team that runs our ultra low cost Amazon Hall store, 0:20:40.275 --> 0:20:44.635 considered the idea of listing import charges on certain products. 0:20:44.915 --> 0:20:48.115 This was never approved and is not going to happen. 0:20:48.155 --> 0:20:51.795 I swear, I swear to Jesus, I swear. Turns out 0:20:51.795 --> 0:20:54.235 there was one step on that timeline we didn't know 0:20:54.275 --> 0:20:58.115 about initially. It was step one A of all people. 0:20:58.315 --> 0:21:03.035 Fox News reported at first Jackie Heinrich, how she keeps 0:21:03.035 --> 0:21:05.235 her job there? I don't know, but may the Good 0:21:05.275 --> 0:21:10.555 Lord bless her and keeper Confirming reports, sources familiar tell 0:21:10.675 --> 0:21:15.035 Fox that President Trump called Jeff Bezos this morning to 0:21:15.195 --> 0:21:21.275 complain about plans to display tariff impact on Amazon product prices. 0:21:23.715 --> 0:21:26.395 Every network in the world except the Game Show Channel 0:21:26.475 --> 0:21:29.915 then confirmed the report. Then Trump confirmed he called Bezos, 0:21:29.955 --> 0:21:33.675 and Bezos fielded the problem for Trump, or ren fielded 0:21:33.675 --> 0:21:36.915 the problem for Trump. Quote he was terrific. He solved 0:21:36.915 --> 0:21:41.555 the problem very quickly. It's a good thing Jeff Bezos 0:21:41.595 --> 0:21:45.595 destroyed the Washington Post curry favor with Trump. Trump now 0:21:45.755 --> 0:21:49.755 owns him, and of course this will not stop as 0:21:49.835 --> 0:21:55.075 life worsens for Trump, as the net minus continues to grow, 0:21:55.315 --> 0:21:58.315 he will demand more and more from Bezos, because that's 0:21:58.395 --> 0:22:02.955 what blackmailers do, especially to those victims who have lost 0:22:03.035 --> 0:22:07.115 the will to metaphorically live, like Jeff Bezos obviously has. 0:22:07.995 --> 0:22:11.675 It is sad but true. If you do not already 0:22:11.755 --> 0:22:15.555 doubt every word printed in the Washington Post, and if 0:22:15.595 --> 0:22:19.795 you don't already at least look for other buying options 0:22:19.835 --> 0:22:31.435 before going to Amazon start and this could boomerang badly 0:22:31.515 --> 0:22:36.315 for Trump. He has ordered that truck drivers now that 0:22:36.395 --> 0:22:40.635 they well, basically what President Ted Bundy told the truck 0:22:40.715 --> 0:22:44.915 drivers is speak English here and fascist America. Now. Another 0:22:45.115 --> 0:22:49.075 royal decree from the man who thinks he's king and 0:22:49.155 --> 0:22:52.435 believes it because Pam Bondi keeps telling him it's true. 0:22:53.315 --> 0:22:58.315 Truckers quote should be able to read and understand traffic signs, 0:22:58.595 --> 0:23:03.075 communicate with traffic safety, border patrol, agricultural checkpoints, and cargo 0:23:03.235 --> 0:23:07.035 weight limit Station office drivers need to provide feedback to 0:23:07.115 --> 0:23:11.555 their employers and customers and receive related directions in English. 0:23:12.995 --> 0:23:17.955 Have we noticed this as some sort of huge problem. 0:23:18.275 --> 0:23:21.555 Have they been driving past the wait limit station officers? 0:23:21.595 --> 0:23:23.875 Have they been parking there and just staying there for 0:23:23.995 --> 0:23:26.755 days at a time because they don't speak English or 0:23:26.835 --> 0:23:30.475 won't speak English? No, sir, this is not just some 0:23:30.555 --> 0:23:33.795 sort of official language proclamation, which was bad enough as 0:23:33.835 --> 0:23:36.955 it was, if you don't recognize the Trump scam and 0:23:36.995 --> 0:23:40.875 the methodology therein by now this is a precursor to 0:23:41.035 --> 0:23:46.555 imposing English only restrictions in countless other aspects of American life. 0:23:46.715 --> 0:23:51.115 One can imagine that it will extend into government and 0:23:51.235 --> 0:23:58.755 into politics, and especially into elections, because what could disenfranchise 0:23:59.235 --> 0:24:06.035 minority voters faster than English only election data and advertisements 0:24:06.075 --> 0:24:12.635 and campaigns and English only polling places. Of course, here 0:24:12.675 --> 0:24:16.875 is where it rebounds against Trump. If English does become 0:24:17.035 --> 0:24:22.115 mandatory in government or in politics, what are these fots 0:24:22.435 --> 0:24:26.355 friends of Trump going to do for a living. Elon 0:24:26.475 --> 0:24:32.475 Musk unintelligible in any language, but especially in English, especially 0:24:32.475 --> 0:24:35.235 when he's wearing two Maga caps at the same time, 0:24:35.635 --> 0:24:38.915 like he was at the Cabinet meeting. Yesterday, the squeezing 0:24:39.035 --> 0:24:44.515 tightly what's left of his calcified brain. On the other hand, 0:24:44.595 --> 0:24:48.915 two caps is not enough. He really needs seventeen. Musk 0:24:48.995 --> 0:24:51.995 needs at least seventeen to cover each of his personalities. 0:24:52.915 --> 0:24:55.315 What about Senator Roger Marshall. What will he do if 0:24:55.355 --> 0:24:58.635 English becomes mandatory? He still thinks the worst terrorist act 0:24:58.715 --> 0:25:02.315 in our history is pronounced nine to one to one. 0:25:02.475 --> 0:25:05.715 What about the Secretary of Insufficient Education Jaian McMahon, who 0:25:05.795 --> 0:25:10.595 believes the chatbot she has is using a one? What 0:25:10.635 --> 0:25:15.875 about herschel Walker? What about Marjorie's stupid green she doesn't 0:25:15.875 --> 0:25:21.995 speak English? And of course what about Press Secretary Lying 0:25:22.235 --> 0:25:27.675 Caroline Lying Levitt, who thinks the Nazi guy was named 0:25:27.875 --> 0:25:36.355 Adolph Hilter, Ladolf Hilter. And of course you have to 0:25:36.395 --> 0:25:40.995 speak English to serve in government. Well, if that goes 0:25:41.035 --> 0:25:49.235 into effect, what the hell does Trump do? Then? No, 0:25:49.355 --> 0:25:51.475 I'm sorry, sir. You can't come into the Oval office. 0:25:51.475 --> 0:25:54.835 You can't say your name without getting something wrong. Also 0:25:54.875 --> 0:25:58.235 of interest here, yes, there are new developments in Bill 0:25:58.275 --> 0:26:03.835 Maher's self immolation. Thank you for asking he did something 0:26:03.875 --> 0:26:08.275 else seven years ago that he just attacked Larry David 0:26:08.315 --> 0:26:13.035 for doing earlier this month. That's next. This is countdown. 0:26:14.715 --> 0:26:39.475 This is countdown with Keith Oberman still had on this 0:26:39.555 --> 0:26:43.795 initiative countdown. I saw a payphone in New York the 0:26:43.835 --> 0:26:51.115 other day, a working payphone, and memories came flooding back, 0:26:51.875 --> 0:26:56.355 including the time I literally stopped pedestrian traffic in New 0:26:56.475 --> 0:27:00.075 York on what must have been the first time anybody 0:27:00.115 --> 0:27:05.115 in the city ever saw the thing that killed off 0:27:05.355 --> 0:27:10.715 the payphone. Something lighter as comic relief. Next in things 0:27:10.715 --> 0:27:13.155 I promised not to tell first, Believe it or not, 0:27:13.195 --> 0:27:16.275 there's still more new idiots to talk about. The roundup 0:27:16.315 --> 0:27:18.995 of the mis grants, morons and Dunning Krueger effects specimens 0:27:18.995 --> 0:27:24.355 who constitute the latest other worse persons in the world. 0:27:24.715 --> 0:27:28.555 Don't call collect. Let me dedicate this addition to Bill 0:27:28.635 --> 0:27:32.035 Maher and advise him he did not make the cut 0:27:32.035 --> 0:27:35.635 this time. This is principally in order to give him 0:27:35.635 --> 0:27:39.235 a few days to get his wounds attended to, mostly 0:27:39.275 --> 0:27:44.355 the ones Larry David inflicted on him, but helped. Larry 0:27:44.435 --> 0:27:46.595 called my attention to and it was my old friend 0:27:46.595 --> 0:27:49.435 Sam Seedter of the Majority Report who found and clipped it. 0:27:50.555 --> 0:27:55.915 This additional Bill maher bit of hypocrisy. You will recall 0:27:56.395 --> 0:28:00.195 that Larry had turned Bill into confetti over going to 0:28:00.235 --> 0:28:02.475 the White House for dinner with Trump and falling for 0:28:02.555 --> 0:28:06.275 the Ted Bundy stuff all over again. His op ed 0:28:06.275 --> 0:28:08.675 in The Times was called My Dinner with Adolf. Bill 0:28:08.755 --> 0:28:11.955 immediately insisted that by comparing Trump to Hitler, Larry was 0:28:11.995 --> 0:28:16.435 insulting six million dead Jews. I found clips from twenty 0:28:16.555 --> 0:28:20.715 fifteen in which Bill compared Trump to Hitler twice on 0:28:20.755 --> 0:28:24.595 his show in a span of just four shows. I also, 0:28:24.715 --> 0:28:28.715 as I told you, remembered being on with Bill as 0:28:28.755 --> 0:28:32.195 he repudiated his previous statements that Trump was a great guy. 0:28:33.115 --> 0:28:36.555 He said Trump had fooled him. Now Trump's fooled him 0:28:36.555 --> 0:28:40.115 again because he doesn't remember anything. But it was Sam 0:28:40.195 --> 0:28:45.515 Cedar who found Bill also frying Geraldo Rivera for doing 0:28:45.555 --> 0:28:48.715 the other thing that Bill Maher has done here doubling 0:28:48.875 --> 0:28:54.395 down defending himself by trying to separate Trump, the power 0:28:54.515 --> 0:28:59.075 crazed demon from Hell, from Trump, the glib dinner host 0:28:59.235 --> 0:29:03.755 who only orders the best burgers from McDonald's. This is 0:29:03.875 --> 0:29:10.195 Bill Maher with Heraldo Rivera excoriating Heraldo Rivera over Trump 0:29:10.435 --> 0:29:14.835 from twenty eighteen, and I have stolen this clip from 0:29:15.195 --> 0:29:18.995 the Majority Report. You know, Trump is my friend. I've 0:29:18.995 --> 0:29:21.995 known Trump for forty years. I don't have any I 0:29:22.035 --> 0:29:25.115 don't have He didn't Trump, he didn't go to Trump. 0:29:25.155 --> 0:29:28.035 He tru remain my friend when I felt he had 0:29:28.075 --> 0:29:29.075 a certain moral lack. 0:29:29.195 --> 0:29:33.435 Well in my in my family, my wife agrees with you. 0:29:33.595 --> 0:29:36.435 She doesn't like his policies on so many things that 0:29:36.475 --> 0:29:39.195 I already listed. So she just can't stand the guy. 0:29:39.795 --> 0:29:42.235 I'm different. I can separate the man who has always 0:29:42.235 --> 0:29:43.875 been gracious to me, always been. 0:29:43.955 --> 0:29:44.875 Nice to my family. 0:29:45.275 --> 0:29:47.635 You know, you were on Celebrity Printice together together every 0:29:47.675 --> 0:29:50.355 day for six weeks. I've done him really through every 0:29:50.555 --> 0:29:51.795
