1 00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:06,240 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George 2 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:10,360 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 3 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 2: Arm Strong and Getty and he Armstrong and Getty. 4 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,640 Speaker 3: President Trump riding high on his agreement with the European Union, 5 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 3: the block agreeing to pay fifteen percent tariffs across the board, 6 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 3: while opening their markets to American imports at zero percent, 7 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 3: and pledging to buy seven hundred and fifty billion in 8 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 3: American energy plus six hundred billion in private investment by 9 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:40,239 Speaker 3: twenty twenty eight. 10 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 2: So it's a little bit of the report on Trump's 11 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 2: big deal with the EU, which even some Trump Hayton 12 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 2: journalists say is a big win for the Trump administration. 13 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 2: Here's a little more from Jackie Heinrich of Fox and 14 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 2: it will bring stability, it will bring predictability. 15 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 3: Frands's Prime Minister slamming the deal as opsided, posting it's 16 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 3: a dark day when an alliance of free peoples brought 17 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 3: together to affirm their common values and to defend their 18 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 3: common interests resigns itself to submission. 19 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 2: Fifteen percent is not to be underestimated, but it is 20 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,319 Speaker 2: the best we could get. But wasn't it or at least. 21 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 2: Trump's claim is it was unfair the other way before. 22 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 2: So when it was unfair the other way, you were 23 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 2: you're okay with it, you thought that was perfectly good. 24 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 2: But when we try to get it more even because 25 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 2: this isn't like, you know, when Trump's taken on some 26 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 2: of these tiny little countries whose GDP is less than Alabama. 27 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 2: I mean, this is the EU, which is when you 28 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:42,320 Speaker 2: add it all together, is practically as big an economy 29 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 2: as US. So a couple play that Jim Kramer clip. 30 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 2: This was Jim Kramer on CNBC yesterday talking about the 31 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 2: current Trump economy. 32 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 4: Our biggest problem is we have so much growth that 33 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 4: the Fed one cut what the. 34 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 2: Oh my, oh my god, I'm so sorry. I think 35 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:07,279 Speaker 2: it right? That take it right? Okay, it's a cable 36 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,239 Speaker 2: with a cable with a ticker. Is no kind of 37 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 2: would take that back. 38 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 5: That's really people doing live TV. 39 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 2: Jim to your point. Okay, so he dropped an f 40 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,519 Speaker 2: bum because he was talking about how great the economy is. 41 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 2: All the economic numbers are just pointing the right direction. 42 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 2: Ian Bremmer yesterday after this deal was made, Who's no 43 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 2: Trump fan? Said the Trump administration just secured a landmark 44 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 2: trade deal with the European Union, and it's Trump's biggest 45 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 2: win to date. Let me tell you why. And then 46 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 2: he went through the numbers of why this is a 47 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 2: huge victory for the Trump administration and for America. That's something. 48 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 2: And I just saw a consumer confidence is way up 49 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 2: from previous months because apparently people people like me barely 50 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 2: paying attention to the tariff thing and not understanding it 51 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 2: at all, feel like, huh, I guess it isn't going 52 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 2: to be a disaster. People are feeling that way right 53 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 2: now anyway. Yeah. 54 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: I love Jared Gerard Baker, who race for the Wall 55 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: Street Journal. His headline is, if Trump's tariffs are so bad, 56 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: where's the recession? 57 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 2: Right? 58 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 1: And and he he lists three possibilities, as I recall, 59 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: including first, it's too early to tell. Most of the 60 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,359 Speaker 1: tariffs announced haven't been in place very long, if at all, 61 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: and so we'll just have to. 62 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 2: See what happens. 63 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: The average tariff paid by importers has indeed risen sharply, 64 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,679 Speaker 1: which leads us to the second possibility. The tariffs thus 65 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 1: far have just not been big enough to cause the 66 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: harm economists warned us about. So everybody's taken a tiny 67 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: little hit, shared the pain, et cetera. 68 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 2: Jim Kramer seemed to be enthusiastic, and Ian Bremmer enthusiastics. 69 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 2: They must I don't know. They don't think this is 70 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 2: gonna the bad, the bad part's gonna happen. I don't know. 71 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: Well, and Baker says third tantalizingly, perhaps the conventional wisdom 72 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: is wrong, or, more precisely, since no one can deny 73 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: the effective taxes are real, perhaps and the rush to 74 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: emphasize the negative account have overlooked the countervailing forces at 75 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: work with tariffs. The redistribution of the burden of duties 76 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: between foreign exporters, US importers and consumers may be reordering 77 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: the balance of benefit between domestic and foreign businesses and 78 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: between companies and consumers. It's kind of a word salad 79 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:18,840 Speaker 1: and sophisticated stuff, But. 80 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 2: We just don't know how it'll play out at this point. 81 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 2: So Howard Lutnik, often I think, is an overly enthusiastic 82 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 2: cheerleader for things in the Trump administration. But what he 83 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 2: says here matches up with you know, a couple of 84 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 2: people have already mentioned who aren't fans of Trump saying 85 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 2: this is a good deal and a big deal. 86 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,600 Speaker 6: Here he is, I just flew back from Scotland, and 87 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 6: wow with that deal, it's so amazing for America. 88 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 2: Why is it so great for America? 89 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 7: Well, remember, the European Union is twenty trillion dollar economy, 90 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 7: four hundred and fifty million people. I mean, it is 91 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 7: head and shoulders bigger than all the other Western civilizations. 92 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 7: So the fact is the European Union is the monster deal. 93 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 7: President Trump did that deal. 94 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 2: Yesterday. 95 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 6: We were all together in Scotland. We got the deal done. 96 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's well, we'll see how it plays out. Yeah. 97 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: Part of the reason I'm not like crazy into this 98 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:23,160 Speaker 1: is that it's all fairly short term because the next 99 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 1: administration can take a completely different approach to it. And honestly, 100 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,479 Speaker 1: if things start to look ugly, this administration can completely 101 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: change their sales and tear up the agreement. I mean 102 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: Trump's deal is and this is an oversimplification, but you 103 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: will pay fifteen percent tariffs to access the US market. 104 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,919 Speaker 2: We will pay non taxes to your market. It's just bullying. 105 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 1: Because we're such a big superpower economically speaking, the Euros 106 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: have no choice but to go with it, which you know, 107 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: may cause damage. I don't know, but that could all 108 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: change if the economy heads south. Trump could say yeah, 109 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 1: this is not working never mind, which is part of 110 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 1: the reason a lot of people are uncomfortable with this 111 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: much power to tax, because the tariff. 112 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 2: Is one hundred percent of tax. 113 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: This much power to tax being granted to the executive, 114 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: it's it's a bit perverse constitutionally. 115 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, well that yeah, that's its own different topic. But yeah, 116 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 2: it is amazing that one guy can can can up 117 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 2: end world the world economy like this. 118 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 1: But anyway, to wrap up the discussion, at least from 119 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 1: my end, a lot of people seem to really really 120 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: want one outcome or the other. Howard Lutnek and company 121 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: wanted to be great for America. The media wants it 122 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: to be terrible, and they want to indict Trump. I'm 123 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: just curious. 124 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I hope it works out. I don't. I 125 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 2: don't root against anything working out for the economy for 126 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 2: political reasons. I hope it works out. I hope we 127 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:58,919 Speaker 2: all get rich. Couple of things green energy wise before 128 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 2: we take a break, that I thought were interesting. You 129 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:06,839 Speaker 2: mentioned the other day how the price of electric vehicles 130 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 2: and where they are and everything like that, Like there's 131 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 2: a whole bunch of used electric vehicles out there that 132 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 2: people aren't as interested in as they were a couple 133 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 2: of years ago. And the big tax credit that you 134 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 2: used to get on buying a new electric vehicles going away, 135 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 2: So the whole electric car thing could change a lot 136 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 2: in the next six months or so. And fitting in 137 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 2: with that, I came across this graph of where people 138 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 2: are on the whole climate change thing in general, the 139 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 2: share of voters who are very concerned about climate change. 140 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 2: I was thinking about where I would I be myself. 141 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 2: I'm pretty close to not concerned at all. I'm close 142 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 2: to zero on climate change. I never think about it 143 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 2: at all. I don't worried about it. I don't worry 144 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 2: about it. I never worry about it. So I think 145 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 2: I'm close to a zero concern on climate change. 146 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, yeah, I would agree. I just there's nothing 147 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: I could do about it. The weather changes all the time. 148 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: If it gets hotter, I'll sell my coats and buy shirts. 149 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 2: But for people who are very concerned, it has been 150 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 2: dropping year by year for a while now. I mean 151 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 2: it had its peak shortly after al Gore and the 152 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 2: hockey stick in the movie Inconvenient Truth and all that 153 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 2: sort of stuff, And it's been dropping little by little 154 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 2: for all voters. It is now at thirty seven percent 155 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 2: very concerned. You wouldn't get that from taking in the media, 156 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,679 Speaker 2: would you, Because everybody in the media is in that 157 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 2: thirty seven percent. Everybody in academics is in that thirty 158 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 2: seven percent, Caldy, And I'll bet the rest skew very 159 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 2: very young. Yeah, and all the experts come from that 160 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 2: thirty seven percent. But thirty seven percent of voters are 161 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 2: very concerned about climate change, So obviously you do not 162 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 2: think it's an existential threat to human beings even being 163 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,439 Speaker 2: alive on the planet. If if you're not in the 164 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 2: very concerned camp, I would assume right right, Sure. Yeah, 165 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 2: for Democrats it's even down to fifty eight percent, and 166 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 2: it was way high, not that many years ago. 167 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: And I'll bet a chunk of that fifty eight percent 168 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: is tribal signaling. Sure they might harbor secret doubts, but 169 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: you're not. And we did a great feature on this 170 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 1: a few with all due modesty last week or something 171 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 1: like that, that in certain social settings, including social settings 172 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: where only one set of beliefs is allowed, and everybody, 173 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 1: lets you know what those beliefs are. Hello, sound familiar. 174 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: Any questioning, never mind dissent. Just saying hey, this strikes 175 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: me as odd I have questions is frowned upon so 176 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,959 Speaker 1: thoroughly people are taught to just shut up. So I'll 177 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: bet there's a lot of people who are thinking. You know, 178 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 1: a lot of people seem to be making a ton 179 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: of money and the promises never get kept and nothing 180 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,719 Speaker 1: has affected anything, but they don't dare say it. 181 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 2: But so Democrats are propping the that low number up anyway, 182 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 2: So overall thirty seven percent, Democrats are at fifty eight 183 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 2: because Republicans are eighteen percent very concerned, and I'm shocked 184 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 2: that that's high, because again I'm a zero. Independents are 185 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,679 Speaker 2: down to thirty six percent. There's a big chunk of 186 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 2: America that just what are you gonna do? China's building 187 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 2: coal plants every day, What are you going to do? 188 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: I have a feeling that's at least a factor in 189 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 1: the fact that the Democratic Party has hit a thirty 190 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: five year low approval writing with American voters, according to 191 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 1: a New Wall Street Journal poll, which is very very 192 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: similar to another couple of polls that had come out recently. 193 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 2: So it takes you back to nineteen ninety right coming 194 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 2: out of the Reagan era. Wow, lost to Reagan twice 195 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 2: and then the third Reagan term of HW Bush. 196 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 1: In fact, it was, if I'm correct, right around the time, 197 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: is this right that Hillary Clinton was getting so much 198 00:10:55,720 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 1: derision for trying to get hillary Care through in the 199 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 1: UH and Newt Gingrich absolutely walloped the Democrats in the 200 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 1: mid term, and it looked like Clinton couldn't possibly get reelected. 201 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 2: Then he did. 202 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,719 Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, thirty five year low approval rating of 203 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 1: a third well, and then a zoftig chick decided to 204 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,680 Speaker 1: ply her skills to a president and that helped him politically. 205 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 2: It helped him. Yeah, it's not the reading of history 206 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 2: most people have that the overreach for the impeachment helped Clinton. 207 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 4: Uh. 208 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I suppose so. I think that's the belief at 209 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 2: this point. Yeah, I'm not sure. 210 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: I you know, trace the whole comeback back to the 211 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: chick who plied her skills. 212 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:47,319 Speaker 2: That was a good sentence though. Okay, I do want 213 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 2: to talk about the famine. I'm using my finger quotes 214 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 2: that all your world organizations declared today that is going 215 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 2: on in Gaza and the response of the media to 216 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 2: that and Trump to that, and uh, how about it's 217 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 2: all going to play it, among other things on the way, 218 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 2: stay here, Armstrong, Andyetty. 219 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 8: Eight months after the election, Democrats are still trying to 220 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 8: dig themselves out of a hole, but a new poll 221 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 8: from the Wall Street Journal paints a bleak picture. It 222 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 8: reveals only thirty three percent of registered voters today view 223 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 8: Democrats favorably, while a staggering sixty three percent see them negatively. 224 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 8: That's the worst rating from the same poll since nineteen ninety. 225 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 2: Yes We're. 226 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: At Sayisha Hasny on special report last night with Brett 227 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: Brett Bear Fox News Slash so Yes analysis. In a moment, 228 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: I found this next segment pretty interesting, though, go ahead, Aisha. 229 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 2: We're in the dog house yet again. We certainly do 230 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 2: have a problem, and it's a messaging problem. 231 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:57,119 Speaker 8: If messaging is the problem, the new poll signals Democrats 232 00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 8: attacking President Trump isn't working at least yet. That's because 233 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 8: even when more voters disapprove of Trump on issues like inflation, 234 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:11,679 Speaker 8: they still trust congressional Republicans more than Democrats to handle 235 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 8: that issue by a whopping ten points on immigration the 236 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 8: same thing. More voters disapprove of Trump's handling of the matter, 237 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 8: but Republicans once again are trusted more than Democrats to 238 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 8: manage it. 239 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:25,199 Speaker 1: Yeah. 240 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know if I believe this 241 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 2: analysis that people have been going with. I think it's 242 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 2: the crazy factor. It's the uh, I don't know. You've 243 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 2: got a friend who does a few things that are 244 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:42,199 Speaker 2: just so crazy you don't trust his judgment on anything else. 245 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 2: I think that's what's driving it. It's not that. Yeah, 246 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 2: the Democrats' view of the economy is specifically blah blah blah. 247 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 2: It said. 248 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 4: You're the people that want boys play girls' sports. You're 249 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,719 Speaker 4: the people that want me to say LATINEX. You're the 250 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 4: people that think we shouldn't have police. I don't trust 251 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 4: you on anything. I think it's the crazy factor. Yeah, 252 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 4: you put a grown man in my little girl's locker room. 253 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 4: Yeah exactly. 254 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,439 Speaker 1: But to her point though, and it's not in contrast 255 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,719 Speaker 1: to your point, it's agreeing with it. So like on 256 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: inflation and rising prices, Trump is eleven points underwater, okay, 257 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: but the Republicans in general are ten points to the positive. 258 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: So what Trump's doing right now. On immigration, these sees 259 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 1: just three points underwater, but generally speaking Republicans that are 260 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: Democrats seventeen point advantage for Republicans. So there are momentarily 261 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 1: momentary quibbles with the way Trump is approaching this, that 262 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: or the other, but in terms of general philosophy that 263 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: I don't care. I want the Republicans, which again I 264 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 1: don't think disagrees with your point. 265 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 2: I think it agrees with it. 266 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: Why do they have that percep or why do they 267 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: lean so strongly that way? Because I think the Democrats 268 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: have lost their effing mind. Let's see, So the Democrats 269 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 1: are thirty three percent favorable, sixty three percent unfavorable, far 270 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 1: weaker assessment than voters give to either President Trump or 271 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 1: the Republican Party. Yeah, they're underwater, but of course political 272 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 1: parties ought to be underwater. 273 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 2: Number when you got their opponents, and number two you got. 274 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 1: Neutrals or independents and their own party members who'd like 275 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: them to change. 276 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 2: What they're doing a little bit. 277 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 1: But anyway, Trump is seven percent underwater and Republicans are 278 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 1: eleven percent underwater. But again keep in mind, the Democrats 279 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 1: are thirty points underwater. 280 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, as always that number of people that are unhappy 281 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 2: with the Democrats. It's a certain chunk who think they're crazy, 282 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 2: like I was just talking about, and a certain chunk, 283 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 2: smaller chunk, but a certain chunk that thinks they haven't 284 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 2: gone far enough, they haven't stuck to their guns on 285 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 2: trans issues and defunding the police and climate change and 286 00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 2: all the other important things. 287 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 1: Which is even worse new really, but a mere eight 288 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: percent of voters view the Democrats very favorably, two and 289 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: a half times as many have the same level of 290 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 1: enthusiasm for the GOP. 291 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 2: I we got a long way to go on what direction? 292 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 2: You know what the Democratic Party is going to look 293 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 2: like next presidential election. But I keep hearing people like 294 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 2: smart people throughout AOC is the current front runner slash 295 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 2: base of the Democratic Party, and she probably is. Who 296 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 2: else doomed? They are doomed, doomed if that it was you, 297 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 2: that that go ahead, try it. 298 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 1: I don't know who else would it be as a 299 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 1: rhetorical question, But the answer is a blue state governor 300 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 1: who's moderate. 301 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's got to be a human being so 302 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 2: that yeah, you're right, but it's got to be an 303 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 2: actual name. 304 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: At some point, I mean, I could throw out a list, 305 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: but nobody. Nobody is talking about Bill Clinton. Hell, nobody 306 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 1: was talking about Bill Clinton even after. 307 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 2: He entered the Uh. 308 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 1: The only issue in which voters PERFERM or congressional Democrats 309 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 1: Republicans are healthcare and vaccine policy. 310 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 2: Good luck. 311 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, they are screwed by themselves.

None of this stuff holds together. 348 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 2: I just came across this Bill Maher on his Club 349 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 2: Random podcast the other day. Man, I started watching the 350 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,360 Speaker 2: Billy Joel one that's worth watching. I haven't seen Billy 351 00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,640 Speaker 2: Joel's having quite the moment. I haven't seen the Billy 352 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,160 Speaker 2: Joel documentary on HBO. But I did see the Billy 353 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 2: Joel interview hour and a half long interview with Bill 354 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 2: maher super interesting, really really good about writing songs and 355 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 2: all kinds of Yeah, it's something. But on his podcast 356 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,160 Speaker 2: Club Random, the Bill Maherr thing I was just talking about, 357 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 2: Mars surprised listeners by saying Trump's early push for tariffs 358 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,879 Speaker 2: wasn't as dumb as I thought. Turns out to coupling 359 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 2: from China has some bipartisan logic. Mar added, citing rising 360 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 2: public support for domestic manufacturing and national security concerns. There 361 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,920 Speaker 2: are quite a few people, it seems, that are either 362 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 2: backtracking or keeping their mouths shut about how dumb the 363 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 2: whole araf thing is at this point, as we were 364 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,920 Speaker 2: talking about earlier. Yeah, how it plays out, nobody knows. No. 365 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: Got a great note from a listener, Alnonymous about the 366 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 1: Walmart thing that we've been talking about. Yeah, it'll take 367 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,680 Speaker 1: twenty seconds, let me just do it. First of all, 368 00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,120 Speaker 1: he says some lovely things about the show. 369 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 2: Thank you, sir. All They're all true. 370 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 1: Per your conversation on Walmart eating the costs of tariffs, 371 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,439 Speaker 1: it's not what you think. The company I work for 372 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 1: has been dealing with Walmart and other national retailers for many, 373 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,959 Speaker 1: many years. Please understand that Walmart is not all caps 374 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,879 Speaker 1: eating the majority of the tariff's costs, but in fact 375 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,159 Speaker 1: demanding the vendor take on the brunt of these increases. 376 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 1: As an example, Walmart negotiated Slash demanded that we take 377 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,639 Speaker 1: on over seventy percent of the tariff costs from China. 378 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 1: They know full well that most vendors cannot take the 379 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 1: loss in market share and revenue, and essentially strong arm 380 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 1: you into agreement. Our bottom line has taking a massive 381 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 1: hit this year primarily due to national retailers demands. 382 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,639 Speaker 2: But with the result being the same thing, they're trying 383 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 2: to drive lots of smaller businesses out of business, like 384 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,920 Speaker 2: the final nail in the coffin. For anybody who's trying 385 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 2: to compete with Walmart and Amazon, well you could. 386 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 1: Say they're just trying to keep their costs as low 387 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 1: as possible. Sure, I don't know why you had to 388 00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 1: put it in such a Marxist, you know, faue predator context. 389 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,159 Speaker 2: Now, I don't think it's you know, untoward it anyway. 390 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 2: I just think it's Ladimir Ilitch I think it's just 391 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 2: the reality of the more the world is right now. 392 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,880 Speaker 2: Different topic we talked about AI earlier just came across 393 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 2: this poll. A majority of college students pursuing higher education 394 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 2: degrees UH sixty two percent to be specific, believe that 395 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,879 Speaker 2: learning how to use AI responsibly is essential for their 396 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 2: future career and success. So almost two thirds of college 397 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 2: kids think they need to learn how to use AI 398 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,400 Speaker 2: to make their way in the world. Are the other 399 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 2: third stupid? What I thought was interesting was ninety percent 400 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,399 Speaker 2: already use it for general tasks, with nearly ninety percent 401 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 2: of students surveyed saying they use it for schoolwork and 402 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:59,440 Speaker 2: more almost ninety percent. Is anybody else as perplexed as 403 00:22:59,480 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 2: I am? 404 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 1: So you're using it right now, but a third of you, 405 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,440 Speaker 1: a little more than a third of you don't think 406 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 1: you'll need it in the future. 407 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:12,880 Speaker 2: Well, the word responsibly was in there, so maybe that's what. Oh, 408 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 2: maybe they don't believe they need to learn how to 409 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,719 Speaker 2: use AI responsibly. I don't know. I'm going to use 410 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 2: it irresponsibly, however I decide to use it. 411 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:23,439 Speaker 1: But going to design weaponry a bizarre breeding experience between 412 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 1: men and beasts? 413 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 2: Whatever I can generating truly troubling porn ning it. I'm 414 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 2: somewhat late to joining AI, even though I talk about 415 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 2: it so much, I you know, downloading chat GPT and 416 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 2: other stuff. But seees college kids have been on it 417 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 2: for a while. Apparently ninety percent of them are using 418 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 2: it for their schoolwork and other stuff. Like I'm I 419 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:48,680 Speaker 2: am committed right now to reading Ulysses. This is the 420 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 2: fifteenth time in my life I've committed to reading James 421 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 2: Joyce's Ulysses, often held up as the greatest work of 422 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,399 Speaker 2: English literature of all time. It's very difficult read, but 423 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,880 Speaker 2: with the help of chat GPT, it's a lot easier. 424 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 2: I come across something and I think, I wonder what 425 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 2: this means. I just type in the phrase and chat 426 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 2: GPT immediately gives me the short version of what it 427 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 2: is where it comes from. It's so a lot of work. Huh, 428 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 2: sounds like a lot of work. It is a lot 429 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,639 Speaker 2: of work. I saw a funny video about reading Ulysses yesterday. 430 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 2: It said, Okay, here are these steps to reading Ulysses 431 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,120 Speaker 2: so you can understand it. Step one, read the entire 432 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 2: Bible and understand it. Step two read all of Irish history, 433 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:36,879 Speaker 2: folklore and mythology, and understand it. Check it's interest. 434 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: So when I read my Miss Marvel Mysteries, it's you know, 435 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,679 Speaker 1: you think it's the Gardener, then it turns out to 436 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 1: be the brother. 437 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,119 Speaker 2: Oh it's a Step three was to read the entire 438 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,199 Speaker 2: works of Shakespeare and memorize it. You have to do 439 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,640 Speaker 2: all these things before you read Ulysses to be able 440 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,679 Speaker 2: to understand it. Okay, that sounds fun, doesn't it. I 441 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,119 Speaker 2: feel like I had one more thing I wanted to 442 00:24:58,119 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 2: get on, but I don't remember what it was. It 443 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 2: doesn't matter. It just doesn't matter. I do have this, 444 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 2: which is really apropos of nothing. Something with feathers existed 445 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,880 Speaker 2: two hundred and forty seven million years ago as a reptile. 446 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 2: They just discovered and found some new bones. I don't 447 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 2: know if I think I've talked about this on the air. 448 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 2: When we were at the Big Museum in New York, 449 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 2: the Natural History Museum, the one with all the dinosaurs 450 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:29,159 Speaker 2: from those fun Night at the Museum movies, a lot 451 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 2: of the dinosaurs now have feathers, and I know they 452 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 2: didn't have feathers when I went there thirty years ago. 453 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 2: But like your t rexes have feathers on them. Now 454 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 2: they've completely changed their view on that. 455 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, it seems to be the you know, the accepted 456 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: view of scientists that the closest relatives to the dinosaurs 457 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 1: now on Earth are birds. 458 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 2: Birds are Yeah, the birds are continued to be done. 459 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 2: Don't get my son Henry started on this. He'll Sti'll 460 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 2: get out a piece of paper and a pen and 461 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 2: draw the entire lineage of everything and how this is 462 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:59,120 Speaker 2: that and this broke off there and uh but yeah, interesting, 463 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 2: watched Jurassic Park and the dinosaurs aren't brightly colored with feathers. 464 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 2: You were just beinged to. I would turn off the 465 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 2: television or write a stern letter to Disney or whoever 466 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 2: made those movies. Yeah, yeah, guy, I would do that too. 467 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:17,640 Speaker 1: I have the idiotic would be controversy of the day 468 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 1: ready to go. I don't think it's gonna catch on, 469 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:23,160 Speaker 1: and I think that's. 470 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 2: Important, but you want to get ahead of it in 471 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 2: case it does. 472 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,439 Speaker 1: No, I want to point out that it seems like 473 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 1: it ought to be a good controversy, but the bloom 474 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 1: is off. The that s white supremacy rose, and. 475 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 2: I hope you're right. I think it is We really 476 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:49,880 Speaker 2: ought to get into the what Trump said about Israel 477 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:51,960 Speaker 2: and Gaza and all that sort of stuff, and what 478 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,479 Speaker 2: the world is saying. The world is very unhappy with 479 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 2: what they're calling a famine in genocide and all that 480 00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 2: sort of stuff. We've got to address that at some point. 481 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 2: This could be certainly the big political story for the 482 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 2: next couple of days, or weeks or thousand years. 483 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:11,399 Speaker 1: Stay with us, ladies and gentlemen.
