Speaker 1: Well, well, come in your city. I gets sane you
Speaker 1: a conscious song, will be died Highland tell and if
Speaker 1: you want a little bang in.
Speaker 2: The Union and come along. I'm going in to speak
Speaker 2: to Vladimir Putin and I'm going to be telling him
Speaker 2: you got end this war.
Speaker 1: You got to end it.
Speaker 2: I like ConA. She's a fun line, but she was
Speaker 2: her core consultantcy.
Speaker 1: It takes Freedom is back in style. Welcome to the Revolution.
Speaker 2: Will coming.
Speaker 3: To your city, going away?
Speaker 2: I get Arson, sane you a conscious.
Speaker 3: Song, Sean Hennedy show more me. I'm in the scenes
Speaker 3: information on freaking news and.
Speaker 1: More bold inspired solutions for America.
Speaker 3: All right, thank you, Scott Channon, Thanks to all of
Speaker 3: you for being with us. Right down our toll free
Speaker 3: telephone number. You want to be a part of this extravaganza,
Speaker 3: It's eight hundred nine four one, Sean, if you want
Speaker 3: to be a part of the program. We are looking forward.
Speaker 3: We will be on the road. We will be in
Speaker 3: Alaska tomorrow and Friday. The first interview post summit Trump
Speaker 3: and Putin with President Trump will be with me immediately thereafter.
Speaker 3: I assume it will be on. Hopefully the timing works
Speaker 3: out right. We're planning on it. It'll be on Friday
Speaker 3: Night's edition of Hannity. And to get his first initial
Speaker 3: reaction to all of this is going to be interesting.
Speaker 3: Let me tell you what I always like to manage expectations.
Speaker 3: And when I look at this, I just compare Donald
Speaker 3: Trump in every regard to past presidents, and we just
Speaker 3: have never seen anybody like this guy. And it's not
Speaker 3: because he's my friend, not because I supported him.
Speaker 2: It just is he's a force of nature.
Speaker 3: And what really delineates him and separates him from so
Speaker 3: many other past presidents and other leaders is the idea
Speaker 3: that he is willing to expend all of this political
Speaker 3: capital for the purpose really of benefiting the world way
Speaker 3: more than the United States and Europe and Ukraine and
Speaker 3: everything in between. Says a lot about him because I
Speaker 3: can tell you how it works with past presidents.
Speaker 2: It works.
Speaker 3: Okay, they'll talk about the idea, and they'll get a
Speaker 3: list of all they have all their advisors in front
Speaker 3: of them, and they'll give them a list of upside
Speaker 3: and the list of downside. And when they get finished
Speaker 3: with the list of downside, then they'll ask themselves why
Speaker 3: bother expending any political capital on something that may not
Speaker 3: go perfectly there. I would say going into this, there's
Speaker 3: a twenty five percent chance that President Trump's uh pulls
Speaker 3: a Reagan and says yet and walks away from the
Speaker 3: table like Reagan walked away from the table at Reikievik.
Speaker 3: I don't think like in usually when there's a summit
Speaker 3: of some kind, is usually a predetermined outcome that is expected.
Speaker 3: I don't think that's the case here. I think a
Speaker 3: lot of things have been discussed. I think the possibility exists.
Speaker 3: I think the fact that the president, you know what
Speaker 3: he's done so far in just the last eight months,
Speaker 3: He's got he played a part in seven massive peace
Speaker 3: deals that have taken place. I think you know two
Speaker 3: of the biggest. They're Indian Pakistan. You know, tensions were
Speaker 3: flaring up. He got involved and they helped simmer that down.
Speaker 3: Israel Iran twelve days. I don't think anybody would have
Speaker 3: thought that would have ended in twelve days. He was
Speaker 3: active and involved in that too, and in the process
Speaker 3: also took out their nuclear sites. Rwanda, the Congo, Serbia, Kosovo, Thailand, Cambodia.
Speaker 3: You saw last week, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Egypt, and Ethiopia, and
Speaker 3: the President's going here and look, you can say what
Speaker 3: you want. He's this is this is Joe Biden's conflict.
Speaker 2: And we've gone over this earlier in the week.
Speaker 3: Oh Biden allowed Vladimir Putin to a massed troops and
Speaker 3: military might on the border with Ukraine. And I think
Speaker 3: the worst part of the story is the president of
Speaker 3: our country never picked up the phone and said, what
Speaker 3: are you doing? Why is this happening, offered a potential solution,
Speaker 3: offered to get involved, and then when asked about it,
Speaker 3: you know, well it depends if it's a minor incursion,
Speaker 3: and then asked in another case, don't him and him him,
Speaker 3: and comm up don't.
Speaker 2: Well he did.
Speaker 3: And you know a lot of people probably would like
Speaker 3: President Trump to do what Biden did. And that's called
Speaker 3: Vladimir Putin every name of the book. Now, if you
Speaker 3: call him a murderer and a dictator and a thug,
Speaker 3: that would be an accurate description from my perspective.
Speaker 2: And I'm not saying that.
Speaker 3: Ukraine has handled all of this perfectly either. Dumbest thing
Speaker 3: Ukraine ever did is give up the nuclear weapons program.
Speaker 3: You know, thanks to Bill Clinton, that was dumb, because
Speaker 3: I don't think they would be in the situation they
Speaker 3: now find themselves in. But if you look at when
Speaker 3: Crimea was annexed in twenty fourteen, that was under Obama
Speaker 3: and Biden. If you look at this minor incursion which
Speaker 3: now has taken over you know, significant portions of land.
Speaker 3: You know, it's that this is not a minor incursion.
Speaker 3: This is a full on war. But if you really
Speaker 3: just stop and think about it, there are not many politicians,
Speaker 3: and I'm talking worldwide now or former presidents that would
Speaker 3: be willing to expend all of this political capital when
Speaker 3: you would argue that the downside for the president could
Speaker 3: be significant, but I don't really think it's as significant
Speaker 3: as people think, because really the only the only thing
Speaker 3: the president trust is offering here.
Speaker 2: And he was very clear this week.
Speaker 3: He said he thinks he'll know within two minutes whether
Speaker 3: or not Vladimir is Sirius. He also thinks he also
Speaker 3: had a conference call with NATO leaders, Western European leaders,
Speaker 3: and Ukraine earlier today and you know, laid out what
Speaker 3: I'm sure they all discussed, what their expectations are. You know,
Speaker 3: a best case scenario would be to hopefully maybe put
Speaker 3: a ceasefire in place. And in the lead up to this,
Speaker 3: my take is there is a reason that Putin is
Speaker 3: coming to the table, and I'm looking at three specific,
Speaker 3: three specific things that Donald Trump that has brought him
Speaker 3: to the table. Now, what has been funding his war
Speaker 3: machine is energy. And you know, remember when go back
Speaker 3: to what Angela Merkel was the chancellor of Germany and
Speaker 3: is now a pretty famous story. He's told it a
Speaker 3: couple of times when I interviewed him, meaning President Trump,
Speaker 3: and that is once he handed her the white flag
Speaker 3: of surrender and she goes, what's this and he goes,
Speaker 3: that's the white flag of surrender. And that was after Germany.
Speaker 3: He had done this, you know, one hundred plus billions
Speaker 3: of dollars in an energy deal and the lifeblood of
Speaker 3: their economy was going to be reliant on a bad actor.
Speaker 3: That bad actor being Vladimir Putin. And remember it was
Speaker 3: President Trump already has been able to more than double
Speaker 3: the contributions of Western European countries as it relates to NATO.
Speaker 3: Because after this incident with Ukraine, maybe they're all beginning
Speaker 3: to realize that Vladimir Putin is a hostile actor on
Speaker 3: the world stage. I'm not sure why it took this
Speaker 3: to make them aware of it, But can you name
Speaker 3: any European leader that would be able to go and
Speaker 3: sit with Putin and possibly hammer out a ceasefire or
Speaker 3: some type of negotiated peace with Ukraine. Now, nobody's going
Speaker 3: to like the outcome of this. I can tell you
Speaker 3: that ahead of time, I mean, had Joe Biden had
Speaker 3: enough sense to maybe stop this and nip this in
Speaker 3: the bud and have a negotiated settlement. For example, I
Speaker 3: don't think the Dombas region is going back to Ukraine.
Speaker 3: Why well, it's about seventy to eighty percent Russian nationals
Speaker 3: to begin with. So I'll use Lindsey Graham's term, there
Speaker 3: will be some type of land swap. And if I'm
Speaker 3: Ukraine in this situation, you know what Joe Biden allowed
Speaker 3: to have happened, and what he allowed to evolve in
Speaker 3: this situation is that this became a proxy war. As
Speaker 3: he was giving all of these weapons to Ukraine. It
Speaker 3: became a proxy war between the US and Putin in Russia.
Speaker 3: But Putin was still selling his oil to Western European countries.
Speaker 3: And the three things that the president did that I
Speaker 3: think have been game changing. If you look at the
Speaker 3: trade deal that he made with the European Union, part
Speaker 3: of that deal includes a trillion dollars in energy that
Speaker 3: they will be buy from America because of his energy dominant.
Speaker 2: Policies that he's put in place.
Speaker 3: Well, that's money directly that was directly going to fund
Speaker 3: Putin's war machine. Now also you've got a factor in
Speaker 3: the Putin's economy has not been doing particularly well in
Speaker 3: part because he's been funding his war machine. The fifty
Speaker 3: percent tariff that the President just imposed on India. Also,
Speaker 3: they're getting most of their energy from Vladimir Putin in Russia.
Speaker 3: And what he's saying to India is no, you're not
Speaker 3: going to do business with the US if you continue
Speaker 3: to do that. And then I think the President did
Speaker 3: one other very important thing that got Vladimir's attention, and
Speaker 3: that is he's selling Unlike Joe Biden, he's not giving.
Speaker 3: He's selling very sophisticated weaponry and technology that is needed
Speaker 3: for Ukraine to fight their own conflict. And because Putin
Speaker 3: has been you know, so stubborn, uh, he's like, Okay,
Speaker 3: if this is what you want, if you want more
Speaker 3: death than fine, We're not going to abandon Ukraine under
Speaker 3: those circumstances. Now, if I'm Ukraine in this situation, you
Speaker 3: have to recognize it that that there's going to be
Speaker 3: a realignment in some capacity, part of which you're not
Speaker 3: going to like. However, in exchange for that, if you
Speaker 3: if you want to, if they want to stop the killing. Now,
Speaker 3: the President was also clear that he's this decision ultimately
Speaker 3: is going to be made by Ukraine and by Europe.
Speaker 3: In the end, the US does not have to involve
Speaker 3: itself in any of this. We really don't. But I
Speaker 3: don't believe in isolationism. This would have the potential, I think,
Speaker 3: over time, to spiral out of control and become part
Speaker 3: of a wider conflict in Europe.
Speaker 2: We don't.
Speaker 3: I know that's not going to end well, it's not
Speaker 3: good for anybody as part of the equation. So the
Speaker 3: you know, but you know, all, how do you define
Speaker 3: success here? I would say, Well, the president the fact
Speaker 3: that he's willing to do that which no other leader
Speaker 3: could do. Name one of the persons in your own mind, think,
Speaker 3: who do you think would be capable of sitting across
Speaker 3: from Vladimir Putin and saying you got to stop the killing.
Speaker 3: This has to come to an end. What country has
Speaker 3: the strength to impact Russia in significant ways, especially the
Speaker 3: funding of their war machine. There's no country on the
Speaker 3: face of the earth that has that power the way
Speaker 3: the United States of America has it, And there's no
Speaker 3: president that understands America's power more than President Trump. Now,
Speaker 3: do I think there's a twenty five percent chance that
Speaker 3: that President Trumps realizes Putin's full of crap? I mean,
Speaker 3: but you know, Putin sent his message by you know,
Speaker 3: bombing out innocent women and children in the last couple
Speaker 3: of days. That was his message to say, oh, just
Speaker 3: so you know, I could keep this war going on
Speaker 3: in perpetuity, which everybody knew going in. But then why
Speaker 3: is he wasting everybody's time and going to sit down
Speaker 3: with President Trump? That's him in his mind. He thinks
Speaker 3: he's showing strength to me. He's just showing that he's
Speaker 3: a murdering, brutal dictator thug. And you know, one of
Speaker 3: the things, if you look at how Israel fought fights
Speaker 3: their conflicts and wars, they have purposely over the years
Speaker 3: gone out of their way not to target, not to
Speaker 3: have civilian targets. Hamas made it nearly impossible because they're
Speaker 3: firing missiles from hospitals and schools and their you know,
Speaker 3: terror tunnel network that they built out and the brutality.
Speaker 3: I mean, we still have American hostages being held by
Speaker 3: Hamas for crying out loud, and then we have Israeli
Speaker 3: hostages being held. And you know, hopefully we now have
Speaker 3: the foundation laid that can be an inevitable piece there.
Speaker 2: So, you know, with the President.
Speaker 3: Now putting all of this on the line, the President
Speaker 3: has said he thinks he'll know in two minutes. He
Speaker 3: also thinks the ultimate decision is going to be Europe's
Speaker 3: and it's going to be Ukraine's. He's also warned that
Speaker 3: Russia will face very severe consequences if Putin continues the
Speaker 3: Ukrainian War after this summit. He said, there'll be consequences.
Speaker 3: I don't have to say what they are. There will
Speaker 3: be severe, he said. Talking to reporters at the Kennedy Center,
Speaker 3: he said that the summit is about setting the table
Speaker 3: for a potential follow up meeting involving both Putin and Zelenski.
Speaker 3: He said, there's a very good chance we're going to
Speaker 3: have a second meeting that will be more productive than
Speaker 3: the first, he said, because I'm not sure if the
Speaker 3: two guys.
Speaker 2: Can be in the same room.
Speaker 3: To be very honest, I really don't anyway, because the
Speaker 3: first is I'm going to find out where we are
Speaker 3: and what we're doing.
Speaker 2: So I want to.
Speaker 3: Manage everybody's expectations here. I'm not sure what people think
Speaker 3: is going to happen.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 3: Putin does have nuclear weapons. Out of factor that in
Speaker 3: America doesn't want to have a nuclear war with Russia,
Speaker 3: but Russia doesn't want to have one with us either,
Speaker 3: And the one president he really doesn't want to mess
Speaker 3: with is Donald Trump. So I could tell you the
Speaker 3: next you know, by Friday, I mean, history will be made.
Speaker 3: It was made in Reikiya Vic when when President Reagan
Speaker 3: walked away and said no deal, it hinged on the
Speaker 3: issue of strategic defense SDI, and it ended up he
Speaker 3: ended the Cold War in the end. It may be
Speaker 3: a case like that where we don't see the benefit
Speaker 3: of all of this until much later.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: But you got to say this President Trump, he's not
Speaker 3: wringing his hands and he's not you know, asking his advisors.
Speaker 2: Oh, what's the downside?
Speaker 3: He's just going in head first like he always does,
Speaker 3: which to me is very courageous, which defines who he
Speaker 3: is as president. Let me let me go back to
Speaker 3: the summer one more quick time here, because what we
Speaker 3: know about this, and it is as the President said,
Speaker 3: he's going to allow Europe, He's going to allow Ukraine ultimately,
Speaker 3: I mean Zelenski, we know, cannot make the ultimate decision
Speaker 3: on his own. He's got to go to his legislature
Speaker 3: and the way their government is formed, so is not
Speaker 3: going to be a peace deal. The best maybe the
Speaker 3: best case scenario you walk away with a ceasefire. And
Speaker 3: but what frustrates me is all of these European leaders
Speaker 3: that have, if you really look at it, not stepped
Speaker 3: up to help their own continent. They have no It
Speaker 3: was Joe Biden, America, American taxpayer dollars, America military might,
Speaker 3: and Joe Biden foolishly gave it all away when Ukraine
Speaker 3: could have paid for it. A separate issue, Donald Trump
Speaker 3: is helping Ukraine. I think it made a big impact
Speaker 3: in Putin's mind, the fact that he's now willing to
Speaker 3: sell all of this weaponry to Ukraine's who he can
Speaker 3: defend itself because he's given Putin every opportunity to go
Speaker 3: for a ceasefire. I think putting the sanctions on India,
Speaker 3: as I stated, I think that's a big, big factor
Speaker 3: as well. I think the President making the trade deal
Speaker 3: with the European Union, and they are going to stop
Speaker 3: buying a lot of their energy from Vladimir Putin, the
Speaker 3: lifeblood of their economy, and they're committing to nearly a
Speaker 3: trillion dollars in American energy purchases. That is playing a
Speaker 3: big deal. What frustrates me is the ever impotent European
Speaker 3: Union and European countries and Western European countries. Is not
Speaker 3: one of these leaders, not one could even possibly arrange
Speaker 3: a sit down, a meeting with Vladimir Putin and have
Speaker 3: a serious, significant, meaningful conversation about a potential piece in
Speaker 3: this conflict. And they all want to tell Donald Trump
Speaker 3: what to do. I mean, it's it's almost unbelievable to me. Anyway,
Speaker 3: They're they're now telling, okay, we're only we only want
Speaker 3: an enforcable ceasefire. There is no enforceable ceasefire. That would
Speaker 3: be a great result. Nobody can guarantee it.
Speaker 2: Today.
Speaker 3: We would Donald Trump can't redraw the map. Donald Trump
Speaker 3: can't talk about land swaps. Donald Trump can't talk about
Speaker 3: land for peace. Donald Trump can can't can can't, can't.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: And then you have one idiot European Union, you know,
Speaker 3: wedded to their their unbelievable, pathetic appeasement policies. You know,
Speaker 3: the same people that again funded his war machine. Oh,
Speaker 3: Putin's got to be told he must respect international law.
Speaker 3: He doesn't respect international law. He didn't give a damn
Speaker 3: about international law. And the only one that showed any sense,
Speaker 3: the only people that showed any sense in this were
Speaker 3: the first people to make a trade deal with Donald Trump.
Speaker 3: And that's our friends in Great Britain. Anyway, British officials
Speaker 3: are telling these idiotic EU leaders to shut up and
Speaker 3: stop being unhelpful with their never ending running commentary on
Speaker 3: this looming Ukraine peace talks between Trump and Vladimir Putin,
Speaker 3: especially when you factor in that none of them are
Speaker 3: capable of making this happen on Friday again, no guarantee
Speaker 3: of the result. We don't over promise an under deliver.
Speaker 3: It could end the way Rekievik ended. And that is
Speaker 3: I'm an American president standing up and saying no, yet
Speaker 3: not happening. Ronald Reagan was not willing to give up
Speaker 3: on strategic defense, and good thing he wasn't, because you know,
Speaker 3: when the media made fun of strategic defense and called
Speaker 3: its Star Wars, we've watched all of that play out
Speaker 3: in real time. It's amazing if you go back and
Speaker 3: look how realistic the media was mocking then President Reagan,
Speaker 3: and they'd come up with these graphics where missiles were
Speaker 3: being shot out of the sky and it was like
Speaker 3: contempt and laughter. I think it probably is Reagan's greatest legacy.
Speaker 3: You know, in the end, it won't happen in our lifetime,
Speaker 3: but if the president gets the technology moving on a
Speaker 3: golden dome, that might end up being his greatest legacy. So,
Speaker 3: you know, let's see what the president's able to pull
Speaker 3: off here. I do think that there are the conditions
Speaker 3: are ripe, The conditions are right for Vladimir Putin to
Speaker 3: maybe consider the alternative of peace and put an end
Speaker 3: to the killing. There's no guarantees, there's no guarantees in life.
Speaker 3: They'll be guarantees of life, but unlike every other political leader,
Speaker 3: he can make it happen. Unlike other political leaders, he
Speaker 3: is willing to expend political capital. So far it has
Speaker 3: paid off big time with all the other piece deals
Speaker 3: that he has been a part of. To his credit,
Speaker 3: it's getting interesting watching the radical left in this country.
Speaker 3: It's always interesting watching the radical left in this country.
Speaker 3: So the National Republican Congressional Committee, the NRCC, has rolled
Speaker 3: out a new ad tying the politics of radical Democrats
Speaker 3: like New York City, you know a mayoral candidate Marxist
Speaker 3: Mumdani to the future outlook of the Democratic Party. Now
Speaker 3: they're targeting twenty five vulnerable house Democrats across the country.
Speaker 3: What's really a somewhat modest ad buy, but it's sending
Speaker 3: a message, are you going to let them?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 3: This is a very very smart ad on behard on
Speaker 3: the on the part of the Republicans, and everything they're
Speaker 3: saying in this ad that Democrats want to do is
Speaker 3: one hundred percent true. You only need to listen to
Speaker 3: their leaders, and one of them now is the rising
Speaker 3: star marxistmm Danni or Jasmine Crockett or AOC or Grandpap
Speaker 3: Bernie who I mean, the suck up on fake news
Speaker 3: CNN to Grandpa Bernie was beyond the pale, I never
Speaker 3: heard anything like it, or Pokahontas is out there campaigning
Speaker 3: with him and making them cry and everything. Is a
Speaker 3: very touching moment. But they do plan to remake America.
Speaker 3: What will happen? Democrats just voted for the largest tax
Speaker 3: increase in history and voted against the largest tax cut
Speaker 3: in history. They voted against working men and women. You know,
Speaker 3: because the one big beautiful bill out non tax on
Speaker 3: tips are so social security or overtime. They voted against
Speaker 3: all of that. And none of these so called democratic leaders,
Speaker 3: none of them are willing to take on the likes
Speaker 3: of Mamdani AOC the squad, none of them. They won't
Speaker 3: say a bad word about him, Hakeem Jeffreys, Chuckie Schumer.
Speaker 3: They're only quote leaders, minority leaders in name only, anyway,
Speaker 3: And what would happen with the border. They would open
Speaker 3: the border, they would have mass amnesty. I think they
Speaker 3: would probably follow the advice of people like James carvill.
Speaker 3: I do think they'd look for DC statehood, Puerto Rico's statehood.
Speaker 3: I do think they'd like to pack the courts. I
Speaker 3: think there's a lot of stake. They'd impeach Trump, a
Speaker 3: thousand million times if they absolutely could. You know, my
Speaker 3: Mamdani now is centering his campaign on going all over
Speaker 3: New York City and surrounding boroughs in New York and
Speaker 3: you know, making this an election about President Trump. It's
Speaker 3: actually very clever on his part. In a place like
Speaker 3: New York City that is so radically left, running against
Speaker 3: Donald Trump is not a bad idea. And as others,
Speaker 3: you know, desperately try to get some attention and some
Speaker 3: traction anyway it prevents focus on his privilege is inexperience.
Speaker 2: What we talked about yesterday.
Speaker 3: This guy has a rent stabilized apartment which is designed
Speaker 3: for working men and women and for low income and
Speaker 3: for four people. I meanwhile, you know him and his
Speaker 3: wife make a couple of hundred grand a year. And
Speaker 3: you know, Andrew Cmo is not wrong in saying that
Speaker 3: he ought to give the apartment back. He's not going
Speaker 3: to do it. But it is the vanity of the left.
Speaker 3: This is now the modern extreme radical Democratic Party. This
Speaker 3: guy is winning. His new poll has him at forty
Speaker 3: four percent. Andrew Cmo is at twenty five percent. He's
Speaker 3: up nineteen points. Adams is only at seven. My friend
Speaker 3: Curtis Slee was at twelve. But this is this this,
Speaker 3: I mean, you can make the argument politically speaking that
Speaker 3: Ma'm Donnie winning in Fatah, in Minneapoli is winning and
Speaker 3: this being the new direction of the radicalized Democratic Party
Speaker 3: is not going to hurt Republicans or Gavin Newsom's screaming
Speaker 3: about fight fire with fire. This is your last chance.
Speaker 3: It's none of It's gonna work when the Democrats and
Speaker 3: and JB. Pritzker and all these other people that have
Speaker 3: ambitions to run for president in twenty twenty eight, I
Speaker 3: don't think it's gonna work. Michael Moore shaming, disgusting Democrats
Speaker 3: for not supporting Mam Donnie, begging to lose more races.
Speaker 3: You keep going, Michael, don't stop. You're doing great. I'm
Speaker 3: Donnie pressed on his pledge to be Trump's worst nightmare.
Speaker 3: By the way, we have we have Hannity taped tonight.
Speaker 3: We sent one of our reporters out and they confronted
Speaker 3: Mamdani not once, but twice today and will air that tonight. Anyway,
Speaker 3: the Republican National Congressional Committee, the NRCC, rolling out this
Speaker 3: new ad, I think is a good idea, and I
Speaker 3: think it's definitely going to be impactful. I think it's
Speaker 3: going to be pretty powerful. These horrible tariffs of Donald
Speaker 3: Trump are now projected to generate one point three trillion
Speaker 3: dollars in government revenue in the next couple of years. Oh,
Speaker 3: I thought they were terrible. I mean, the President keeps
Speaker 3: signing deal after deal after deal that's a win after
Speaker 3: win after win, and we're not paying you this. We've
Speaker 3: been abused and taken advantage of. In a way, you
Speaker 3: can kind of argue that the script is flipped, and
Speaker 3: now these countries that have taken advantage of us, now
Speaker 3: they're paying the tariff and we're not paying any tariffs.
Speaker 3: And in the process, as a result of all this,
Speaker 3: we have over fifteen trillion dollars in committed manufacturing investments
Speaker 3: in automobiles, semiconductor chips, rare earths, pharmaceuticals.
Speaker 2: And I mean, it's working out great.
Speaker 3: And you know, speaking of this mass migration out of
Speaker 3: places like New York, New Jersey, Illinois, and California, you
Speaker 3: look at the state controller controller of New York is
Speaker 3: now sounding the alarm about the state's cash shortfall. Apparently
Speaker 3: it's the worst it's been in like decades and decades,
Speaker 3: and they knew trouble was coming. But the legislature quit
Speaker 3: for the year, having given Governor Hokel the power to
Speaker 3: cut as needed and anyway. She now is asking state
Speaker 3: agencies to find seven hundred and fifty million dollars in
Speaker 3: savings in the current year budget. But next year, the
Speaker 3: you know that nut jumps to three billion. Long term,
Speaker 3: the state is facing their worst short fall since the
Speaker 3: Great Recession, thirty four point three billion dollars in red
Speaker 3: ink in New York. And this guy's gonna come in
Speaker 3: and he's going to threaten at tax corporations. Good luck,
Speaker 3: that's not going to end well for them. It is,
Speaker 3: you know, fake news. CNN was reading the economic statistics
Speaker 3: and like, wow, this is amazing. You know, Oh the
Speaker 3: expert's wrong again. Implation didn't go up. It remains steady
Speaker 3: below expectations. Whoopsie daisy. Trump's terrors jumped to twenty five
Speaker 3: billion dollars a month and play as inflation holds steady
Speaker 3: and you know, never mind the president's other success. Look,
Speaker 3: if you actually look at the numbers, I have an
Speaker 3: article here somewhere in front of me in my as
Speaker 3: Rush used to say, stack of stuff in my big
Speaker 3: pile of junk. But if the CPI report that came
