WEBVTT - ABC News Can't Get Conservatives- April 9th, Hour 1 0:00:01.000 --> 0:00:03.120 All right, thank you, Scott Shannon, and thanks to all 0:00:03.120 --> 0:00:05.360 of you for being with us. Write down our toll 0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:08.240 free telephone number if you want to be a part 0:00:08.320 --> 0:00:12.640 of the program. Linda, what did I say when we 0:00:12.640 --> 0:00:16.240 were in the swamp yesterday and what we did last 0:00:16.280 --> 0:00:18.840 night on hannoned? He was very very important. The timing 0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:23.200 was very very critical because if Republicans, we've only had 0:00:23.280 --> 0:00:26.680 four chances in one hundred years where Republicans have had 0:00:26.680 --> 0:00:29.360 the White House, the House, and the Senate. And this 0:00:29.480 --> 0:00:32.280 reconciliation bill that I've been talking a lot about, I 0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:37.080 know it's somewhat how do I say this is it 0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:41.839 is so swampy in nature that most people don't want 0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:44.000 to even hear it, and I have to explain it 0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:47.840 because it's so complicated and it's so significant. Otherwise we're 0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:50.800 stuck with the Biden Harris economy and we have no 0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:52.680 chance to fix it because you're never going to get 0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:56.760 a single Democrat to go along with President Trump's economic priorities, 0:00:56.880 --> 0:00:59.760 his priorities on security in the border, his priorities on 0:00:59.880 --> 0:01:03.840 end energy dominance, his priority on on Doze, his prior 0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:07.520 priorities on the next generation of weaponry, UH and if 0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:09.280 they don't get this done too, we risk a four 0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:12.480 trillion dollar tax increase because the Trump tax cuts expire 0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:18.560 and through reconciliation with its you know arcane, you know archaic, 0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:21.840 you know rules for the US Senate makes it very 0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:26.160 complicated because it's a way to bypass the sixty vote 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:31.200 uh margin that's needed for cloture to have a vote, 0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:33.920 and it's it's the one way you can thread a 0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:37.640 needle and get stuff done. That's how the Inflation Reduction 0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:40.080 Act got passed and shoved down our throats. That's how 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:43.840 that's how Obamacare got shoved down our throat, and and 0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:46.480 we we now have to use this process now. It 0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:49.000 makes it complicated because then the sentence involved anyway. So 0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:51.840 this is a very important time, Linda, What did I 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:56.960 say yesterday when everybody was panicking as a result of 0:01:57.000 --> 0:01:59.040 the stock market. Now, yesterday, for a big part of 0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:01.320 the day, up until like maybe the last hour hour 0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:03.480 and a half, the stock market had been on the 0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:06.480 positive range. Right now it's up about twenty five hundred 0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:08.480 points today. And I'll explain why in a second. What 0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:11.520 did I say, what happened? How did I tell you 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:12.799 that this is going to end. 0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:17.799 You said that Trump is a very smart businessman and 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:20.399 that we should pay attention. You've known him a very 0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:22.760 long time, and that there was going to be big 0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:25.200 news today because things were going to start happening and 0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:28.520 we're going to pivot, and that's exactly what happened. You 0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:30.480 also said that you had to get all these senators 0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:33.320 on board because we can't afford to not support the president. 0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:37.360 Okay, one of the reasons. We were in DC yesterday 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:40.959 and I spent a lot of time doing a lot 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:43.200 of things that I'm not going to talk about on 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:46.880 the air. Now. Did I know this because the President 0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:50.320 told me this? No, he never told me never. I 0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:53.000 just know him and have known him long enough to 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:55.760 know how he works. What am I talking about? If 0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:58.760 you've been busy all day and you're just getting caught 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:01.040 up on the news, which, by the way, if you're 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:03.160 busy working all day, that means we're a great American 0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:06.720 and you're serving your community, you're serving your country in 0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:10.480 some capacity, and you're providing for your family. And I know, 0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:13.280 as some of my closest friends, I don't know, my 0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:16.080 whole life doesn't revolve around your four hours a day. 0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:18.679 I tried, but my whole life doesn't revolve around it. 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:20.240 I'm like, gee, thanks a lot. What kind of friend? 0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:25.160 Are you? Not a good friend? Anyway? So Trump puts 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:28.600 this out today, and this is what I knew eventually 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:33.200 would happen. You see what Donald Trump and and remember 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:37.640 the state run legacy media mob never wants to ever 0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:42.440 understand Donald Trump. They are obsessed with hating Donald Trump. 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:46.240 You know, if the dog bites the beast things, if 0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:50.800 you're feeling sad, they're still gonna hate Trump and blame Trump. 0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:55.600 If he cured cancer, they would still hate Trump. These 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:59.920 idiots on that hard hitting ABC Disney show, The View 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:03.680 where they have that idiot you know, dressed up in 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:07.040 blackface in the past and a guy that puts cucumbers 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:09.520 in his or whatever in his pants and has women 0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:12.200 touching it with both hands and feeling it. Jimmy Kimmel. 0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:19.360 By the way, Bob Biger, do you approve that? What's that? Linda? Okay? 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:22.200 They can get over that. And you know they've got 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:25.000 the dumbest idiots, no wonder why this network is just 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:29.120 going down the tubes. And you know, does Bob Biger 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:33.080 approve that message? You know, these idiot geniuses there's a 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:35.400 story out today which I've found very interesting before I 0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:37.680 get to the View, is that the Ladies of the 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:41.839 View had not had a single conservative, not one. I 0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:43.960 wonder why they're asking me to be on. I mean, 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:47.520 I guess maybe they're just desperate. I'm not sure, but anyway, 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:52.680 these they didn't have a single let's see, not a 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:55.120 I'm looking for my media package here, so oh here 0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:59.119 it is the media Matters and I'm sorry, media matters, 0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:04.000 media research they call it. ABC News made a big 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:06.960 deal this. If you invited zero right leaning guests in 0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:09.800 the first three months of twenty twenty five, that's pretty funny. 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:12.680 I don't think they can get them. I mean, they 0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:14.480 did reach out to me after I said to Steve 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:16.240 and a Smith they used to invite me on that show. 0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:18.840 I don't go every inviting me on in years. And 0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:21.240 then I did a poll and thank goodness, I won 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:24.239 fifty one forty nine. When I put up a poll 0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:26.240 because Linda was pushing me to do the show, I 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:28.480 didn't want to do it. That is not true. 0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:30.360 I wasn't pushing you to do the show. 0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:31.680 What I said, well pushing me. 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:36.680 What I said was it would be interesting to have 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:40.440 a conversation with people and see if there was an 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:44.600 ability when the cameras are rolling to have a real conversation. 0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:48.159 Of course, I'm not expecting that to actually happen, but 0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:50.480 it would be nice because you're very good at debate, 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:53.920 you're very calm, and joy and whoopee are losing their 0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:55.720 marbles no matter. I mean, you could say God bless 0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:56.640 you when they're going to get mad. 0:05:57.360 --> 0:05:59.520 So it would have been interesting. But Ka got so 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:03.920 out of control with Rosy o'donnello mey. The poor Barbara Walters, 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:06.280 God rest her soul. Well, I actually liked him, was 0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:09.039 always very nice to me. You know, she could not 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:12.880 do a thing about it. Nothing anyway, Joyless this morning. 0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:15.039 I'll play it later on the program saying, oh, Trump's 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:18.240 tariff plan has been to intentionally destroy the country so 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:21.280 his billionaire friends can swoop in and buy everything low 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:24.039 and he can become a dictator. This is how nuts 0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:27.960 they are, Bob Iger, Mickey Mouse, ABC Disney, do you 0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:31.919 approve this message? Tonny Houston countries are not going to 0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:34.280 be able to depend on a country that every four 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:38.359 years could elect a dictator. These people are nuts and 0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:41.200 it goes all day long on that network. No nobody 0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:43.520 watches that network. I am telling you I get the 0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:47.440 ratings every day. You know that Hannity is on all 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:51.400 of television unless there's like a big sporting event like 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:55.360 Monday night. You know, we're like one in all of television. 0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:59.600 Two not just cable or three. The show hand and 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:01.559 by the way, thank you to all of you that watch, 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:05.640 and you've made that possible. Not me. I mean, who 0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:07.719 would have thought when Fox News went on the air 0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:10.840 twenty nine years ago that those would be these networks 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:14.560 would deteriorate to these levels. Why because they lie. Then 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:18.400 they put idiots like Jimmy kimmelan in blackface mocking Carl 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:22.920 Malone or you know in his previous life, you know, 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:26.440 putting you know, strange items in his pants and having 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:29.760 unknown women and telling them to come up and touch 0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:32.920 his crotch, you know, for ten seconds with both hands 0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:35.560 and see if they can tell what's in there. I mean, 0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:38.480 that's the guy that you know, bob Byger you hire 0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:41.440 that guy? Did Mickey Mouse hired that guy who hired 0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:44.200 that guy? And his ratings suck and he's officially on 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:47.720 cancelation watch as is the view. You know, Harris Faulkner 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:51.720 is beating the view on Fox News. How cool is that? 0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:55.000 I love it? Anyway, A long drawn out way of saying. 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:59.360 They don't care about knowing understanding Donald Trump, and I 0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:02.280 knowing him. I had no insider information. I'm going to 0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:05.280 be very very clear about this, I said to Linda 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:09.800 will Mark my words, because the country, the list of 0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:14.680 countries that were on record reaching out wanting trade deals, 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:18.640 wanting free and fair deals that recognize that we have 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:24.040 been ripped off, taken advantage of, totally screwed over and 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:28.080 been abused all these years, and other presidents have allowed 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:30.480 it to happen for forty or fifty years. Trump is 0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:33.560 the only one to take it on that he's going 0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:38.400 to create an off ramp, which he did twenty six 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:41.480 hundred on the down. Now he's going to and he's 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:46.600 going now. He has created an environment which every country 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:50.360 knows that he meant what he said. Every country knows 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:53.160 that he's in a position of strength, and if they 0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:57.319 don't deal with him, it's gonna happen again. And then 0:08:57.360 --> 0:09:01.960 because China doubled down on dumb, dumb and stupid, because 0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:04.800 they need access to our markets just like and This 0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:08.120 was what the President was betting on every country, the EU. 0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:15.079 You're you know, all the European Asia, Great Britain, uh India, Japan, Taiwan, 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:18.800 South Korea, and even China. In the end, I predict 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:21.760 will come around. They need access to our markets and 0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:26.839 your money, or else they're screwed. Their manufacturing starts to tank, 0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:32.000 their economy start to tank, their workers start rebelling, their 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:36.040 their their citizens start getting angry. And Trump bet on 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:39.199 American strength to get this deal done. And now he's 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:42.840 gonna Now he's free to negotiate. It was as predictable 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:45.440 if you know and watch this man as the day 0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:48.400 is long. This was not complicated to figure out. I'd 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:50.960 like to tell you I'm a genius. I'm not. The 0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:53.960 reason I didn't tell this publicly is because I wanted 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:56.480 it to play out. I didn't want to get in 0:09:56.520 --> 0:10:01.360 the way of of what was a a position of 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:05.680 strength that the President was taking. Again, no insider knowledge here, 0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:09.320 just knowing, observing this guy, and he sends out this 0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:11.640 truth post today based on the lack of respect that 0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:14.000 China has shown to the world markets. I'm here by 0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:17.600 raising the tariff charged to China by the United States 0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:20.920 to one hundred and twenty five percent, effective immediately. At 0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:23.720 some point, hopefully in the near future, China will realize 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:26.800 that the days of ripping off the USA and other 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:31.360 countries is no longer sustainable or acceptable. Conversely, and based 0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:33.840 on the fact that more than seventy five countries have 0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:38.120 called representatives of our country of the United States, including 0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:42.320 the Departments of Commerce, Treasury, the USTR, to negotiate a 0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:47.640 solution to the subjects being discussed relative to trade, trade barriers, tariffs, 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:53.400 currency manipulation, non monetary tariffs, and that these countries have not, 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:58.360 at my strong suggestion, retaliated in any way, shape, matter 0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:01.520 of form against the United States. I have authorized a 0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:05.439 ninety day pause and a substantially lowered reciprocal tariff during 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:09.280 this period of ten percent, also effective immediately. Thank you 0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:13.160 for your attention to this matter. Let the negotiations begin. 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:18.080 This is what American strength is all about. Why we 0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:22.560 have allowed our country to be a sucker nation. Why 0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:26.400 we have been allowed ourselves to be abused by friend 0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:30.240 and foe alike. Why they have taken advantage of us 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:34.800 and we've allowed it is unconscionable. You know, why are 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:39.160 we allowing other countries that desperately depend on us for 0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:43.319 their national security to turn around and then stab us 0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:47.840 in the back with these high tariffs. Example EU. You know, 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:52.400 all these countries ten percent tariffs on American auto manufacturers. Okay, 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:55.520 then you add the value add attacks like Germany and 0:11:55.559 --> 0:11:58.880 other countries have and okay, so that's thirty percent above 0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:01.600 sticker price. No wonder. We sell no cars in Germany, 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:04.720 but they sell you know, ten cars to our one car. 0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:07.080 You know, they sell their cars in the US because 0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:08.800 we only have a two and a half percent tariff 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:12.199 on them. Okay, that's got to end. There's got to 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:16.120 be either free and fair trade. There's got to be also. 0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:19.199 If not, you're gonna choose reciprocal tariffs, the choice will 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:22.320 be yours. But there are other issues that need to 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:26.560 be dealt with as well. You know, when you talk 0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:30.240 about tariffs of that tax of value add attacks and 0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:34.040 national sales tax, that is a tariff that makes it 0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:36.800 that much harder to sell an American car because you're 0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:40.160 adding twenty percent to the sticker price. We're not doing 0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:44.120 that to them. And these countries are guilty of currency manipulation, 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:48.199 non monetary tariffs. As I said, and that these countries, 0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:51.320 you know, we're smart enough not to get into a 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:53.880 fight or pick a fight with Trump. And I agree 0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:57.520 with Kevin O'Leary, the hell with China. If China wants 0:12:57.600 --> 0:12:59.920 this fight, great, he said, clobber than with a four 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:04.000 one hundred percent tariff. It's time to squeeze, you know, 0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:08.040 Chinese heads into the wall. Now he's not wrong. Heritage 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:12.080 Foundation released a study over the weekend revealed China's shipbuilders 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:15.160 were able to produce over a thousand commercial military vessels 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:20.600 last year. American shipbuilders shipbuilders built ten ships. Let me 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:23.720 tell you something. You know, all the critics of President 0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:26.800 Trump and his tariffs, how much longer are you going 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:30.280 to take being abused and taken advantage of and being 0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:34.360 ripped off without being willing to take a little bit 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:38.200 of pain? And I know everybody was freaking out. I 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:40.960 was very aware of it. I'm very sympathetic towards it 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:44.960 because it's people's savings and they don't know the eventual outcome. 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:48.080 But I was betting on American strength and I was 0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:51.400 betting that the President was right, that they want access 0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:55.760 to our markets. And it's just the beginning of negotiations. 0:13:56.440 --> 0:13:58.640 It was a brilliant strategy on the part of the 0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:01.679 President and a huge win his part, and the stock 0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:05.079 market's nearly up twenty seven one hundred points today, two 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:09.199 seven hundred points today. It's you know, everybody freaked out 0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:11.800 over nothing. And I was saying that at the time. 0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:13.360 I didn't want to go too deep in the pain. 0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:15.560 I didn't know for sure what he would do. But 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:19.280 knowing his brain, he's in a never ending, perpetual state 0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:22.600 of negotiation. That's just how he rolls. And he doesn't 0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:25.080 like America getting ripped off, and neither do I, and 0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:28.920 neither should anybody. And the biggest beneficiary in all this 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:34.920 is going to be American manufacturers, American automakers, American cattle ranchers, 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:41.000 American produce and dairy farmers. They're going to everyone will benefit, 0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:43.880 working men and women. Now, the people that work on 0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:46.120 Wall Street, they make money when it goes up, they 0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:47.920 make it when it goes down. Don't let him fool 0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:51.000 you now, God forbid of you and your family are 0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:54.840 in a situation. This is a dangerous world. You feel threatened, ideally, 0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:56.600 you talk your way out of it. You back up, 0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:59.360 you walk away, you run away. Whatever you have to do, okay, 0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:03.600 Plan B twenty five Now until the top of the hour, 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:05.600 eight hundred and nine to FOURT one Sean, you want 0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:07.600 to be a part of the program, don't forget only 0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:10.600 a few more days. What is today's day, the eighth, Linda, 0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:16.680 we have today, tomorrow, Well, today's the ninth, So we 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:19.840 have today, tomorrow and Friday. Less. 0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:23.120 People have today half of the day today. And let 0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:25.520 me just tell you, people showed up yesterday. We were 0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:28.440 getting crossed yesterday with people entering the contest. 0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:32.520 I wish I could bring people behind the scenes of 0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:36.400 why I went to Washington yesterday. It's just there's certain 0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:40.160 things that you know in my work, in my job, 0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:43.920 and I allude to certain things that I know are 0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:49.680 public information. But more importantly, this is a very critical 0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:53.360 time in Washington, it really is. And anyway for these 0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:55.080 senators to get together. We're going to play some of 0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:57.680 it later in the program. And getting this reconciliation bill 0:15:57.760 --> 0:16:00.800 done is very very important. You're not going to get 0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:05.640 everything you want in part because of reconciliation the process itself. 0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:08.280 Now this is April. We just got to get to 0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:12.640 October and then we have the first Trump budget and 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:14.720 they'll be able to go line by line through every 0:16:14.720 --> 0:16:18.360 department if it still exists, and get to the budget 0:16:18.360 --> 0:16:20.720 they want. But this will preserve the tax cuts. This 0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:26.120 will bring in no tax on tips, overtime social Security. 0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:31.160 This will also unleash the President's energy dominance program. This 0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:34.360 will help Tom Homan and Christy nom out big time 0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:37.680 in terms of securing the border number one and keeping 0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:40.960 it secure and number two, deporting all these people that 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:45.160 didn't respect our laws, borders and sovereignty. This is this 0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:47.760 is going to help, you know, the Department of Defense 0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:50.400 and the next generation of weaponry, knowing that the world 0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:53.360 is a very very dangerous place and we can't we 0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:57.320 can't stand idly by, you know, with our hands tied 0:16:57.360 --> 0:17:00.440 behind our back. And it's going to help dosee, you know, 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:04.119 weed out waste, fraud, abused corruption. That is going to continue, 0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:06.920 whether Elon must stays past one hundred and thirty days 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:10.080 or not. I mean, as a non government employee, there's 0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:12.880 usually a deadline on that, but there is some ambiguity 0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:14.800 to it, but we'll see. If nothing else, he will 0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:17.960 have set in motion with this process to continue, which 0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:20.719 I'm very happy about. And I guess that's why he's 0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:22.880 hated so much. But anyway, back to the Tesla contest. 0:17:23.119 --> 0:17:26.000 If you go to Hannity dot com today, tomorrow, and Friday, 0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:28.240 you last three days.

I love cooking. It's a passion. I 0:17:56.400 --> 0:17:58.640 don't know why. It relaxes me, it does. I love 0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:01.560 to eat also, that's part of a passion. And I 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:04.359 don't care what you're cooking. If you cook it a steak, 0:18:04.400 --> 0:18:07.920 a burger, chicken, pork chops, pork ribs, fish, whatever your 0:18:07.920 --> 0:18:11.119 favorite is, I take great pride in making sure it 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:13.560 comes out the way I like it every time. I'm 0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:17.840 pretty much a bit of a perfectionist with cooking, always 0:18:17.880 --> 0:18:20.119 have been. I want it perfect every time when I 0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:23.080 cut in into that steak, that chicken, that burger, that 0:18:23.160 --> 0:18:25.679 pork chop. I want it perfect. I want it exactly 0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:29.120 to my desired level of done this now I will 0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:32.720 never have to worry again. His technology is so amazing. 0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:37.400 It's a modern, completely wireless cooking thermometer. It eliminates any 0:18:37.520 --> 0:18:40.919 chance you'll screw it up. It eliminates any chance of undercooking, 0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:43.680 any chance of overcooking, no matter how you cook it. 0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:47.560 It can withstand temperatures up to a thousand degrees fahrenheit. 0:18:48.119 --> 0:18:51.159 And it's called chef i Q Sense. It's so simple 0:18:51.200 --> 0:18:54.359 to use. It's like putting a toothpick inside of your steak, 0:18:54.400 --> 0:18:57.280 your fish, your chicken, whatever you're cooking. And then you 0:18:57.400 --> 0:18:59.840 just open up the chef i q app, which can 0:18:59.880 --> 0:19:03.399 be indicates with the wireless probe and yes it's healthy, 0:19:03.520 --> 0:19:07.280 no risk. I mean, it's so silly anyway, And you 0:19:07.280 --> 0:19:09.280 pick all right, I want it medium, rare, I want 0:19:09.280 --> 0:19:11.960 it medium, or maybe you're insane and want it well done, 0:19:11.960 --> 0:19:13.760 which I think is nuts. But if you want it 0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:15.399 well done, it'll make it well done. I'll tell you 0:19:15.440 --> 0:19:17.359 when you when to turn your meat over, tell you 0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:21.159 when your meat's done. It'll eliminate any risk. When you 0:19:21.160 --> 0:19:23.399 cook for your friends, your family, your neighbors, they're going 0:19:23.440 --> 0:19:25.080 to think you went to culinary school and want you 0:19:25.119 --> 0:19:27.000 to cook every time, which in my case, I love 0:19:27.080 --> 0:19:30.040 because it keeps me busy and I'm not trapped having 0:19:30.160 --> 0:19:32.439 to talk to people for hours on end, which I 0:19:32.560 --> 0:19:35.640 get quickly bored. True of falls Linder. 0:19:36.880 --> 0:19:40.080 You you have the attention span of a net Not true. 0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:42.240 I'm dialed in and focused like a laser b when 0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:42.840 I'm doing the show. 0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:44.760 I didn't say you weren't focused. I just was like, 0:19:44.800 --> 0:19:46.160 you know, if you get bored, you're out. 0:19:46.880 --> 0:19:50.120 If I get bored, them out, can't help it anyway. 0:19:50.200 --> 0:19:53.760 Just go to chefiq dot com.

What are they gonna say tomorrow? Oh, 0:20:24.240 --> 0:20:27.920 he was forced to do this. No. As a matter 0:20:27.920 --> 0:20:31.280 of fact, the Treasury Secretary of descent just confirmed what 0:20:31.680 --> 0:20:34.240 I had pretty much understood because I know the guy 0:20:34.320 --> 0:20:37.720 so well. This was the plan all along. I've been 0:20:37.760 --> 0:20:40.399 saying this. I said it to Linda, sweet Baby James 0:20:40.480 --> 0:20:44.199 yesterday in DC. I said, he's just he's lining up 0:20:44.240 --> 0:20:48.280 all these nations, one after another after another, to the 0:20:48.320 --> 0:20:50.960 point where they're begging to do a deal with us. 0:20:51.440 --> 0:20:54.240 He has laid out the he's laid out the history 0:20:54.240 --> 0:20:58.160 of America being ripped off and taken advantage of. It's 0:20:58.160 --> 0:21:02.280 a compelling case. And we provide for the national defense, 0:21:02.320 --> 0:21:05.199 we pay more for NATO. We don't teriff them the 0:21:05.200 --> 0:21:08.400 way they've been tariffing us. They've been taking advantage of us, 0:21:08.440 --> 0:21:14.840 downright abusing us, meaning America, the American consumer, and American manufacturers. 0:21:15.280 --> 0:21:19.760 They have hurt our ranchers, our farmers, are automakers, They've 0:21:19.840 --> 0:21:23.119 hurt everybody. And now the President said, okay, now that 0:21:23.200 --> 0:21:28.080 you got the message that I'm serious, now we can negotiate, 0:21:28.400 --> 0:21:31.000 and they'll be negotiating from a position of strength. Now. 0:21:31.000 --> 0:21:34.880 The President also wants to talk about other issues, currency manipulation, 0:21:35.080 --> 0:21:39.160 trade barriers, non monetary tariffs. I we got to deal 0:21:39.160 --> 0:21:42.480 with the vattax in the European Union. I mean, he 0:21:42.640 --> 0:21:45.200 was not wrong in saying that the whole European Union 0:21:45.280 --> 0:21:48.919 designed to screw us. And if they think that they're 0:21:48.960 --> 0:21:51.240 going to get by without the US, good luck with them. 0:21:51.560 --> 0:21:53.880 You know, go out on your own. They want access 0:21:53.920 --> 0:21:57.720 to your money, they want access to our markets. They're 0:21:57.840 --> 0:22:01.119 ready to make a deal and the President will be fair. 0:22:02.080 --> 0:22:04.080 But the President is not going to allow this country 0:22:04.080 --> 0:22:07.399 to get ripped off anymore. This is not that complicated. 0:22:08.160 --> 0:22:10.640 This has been you know. I got to give kudos 0:22:10.640 --> 0:22:14.560 to Mark Pennell used to be the poster for Bill Clinton. 0:22:15.080 --> 0:22:17.000 He had an article in Today's New York Post that 0:22:17.040 --> 0:22:21.320 a reactions off the Wall undo market panic, he called it. 0:22:21.680 --> 0:22:24.640 He said, it's time for Wall Street to get a grip. 0:22:25.160 --> 0:22:28.760
