Join us in No Kings, No Queens, No Crowns, No Throne, No Thrones as we discuss the weekend's No Kings protests across the U.S. President Trump was joined by Stephen Gardner of The Stephen Gardiner Show to discuss the events that took place over the weekend.
00:05:28.240When he, quote unquote, lost the election in 2020 and had to leave in January of 2021, he got up and he left.
00:05:36.400So I'm not sure what behavior Donald Trump has ever exhibited that makes him a king, that makes him a wannabe dictator.
00:05:46.140I mean, if Donald Trump were a king and were any of these things that these people were saying he is, he'd be out there bombing every country.
00:05:53.320He'd be blowing up Canada to the north and Mexico to the south and saying, give us your land.
00:05:59.440We've, in fact, seen quite the opposite from President Trump.
00:06:03.700Asked in his meeting today with the prime minister of Australia by a reporter about giving Ukraine more weapons so they could finish the job in Russia.
00:06:13.860And President Trump flat out told this woman, you're an idiot.
00:06:19.800He says, we're going to try to end this thing diplomatically.
00:06:24.600And if we can't end it diplomatically, I'll know when the time has come and we'll make our determination from there.
00:06:32.000But this is the one world global alliance.
00:06:34.660The NATO global alliance that wants to see wars all across the world because it makes people rich.
00:06:43.260You can use the divide and conquer method.
00:06:46.580And at the end of the day, somebody eventually wins the war after thousands or hundreds of thousands of people are dead and millions and trillions of dollars are spent or wasted rather.
00:06:55.620But this is the faction of the media that they want to see.
00:07:11.600I mean, to a tune of 180 degree difference.
00:07:14.200So these people are sick, they're demented, and I really, truly think they need help.
00:07:20.560Now, the King's rally didn't stop President Trump from getting to work.
00:07:24.080And President Trump today sent the markets absolutely soaring on news that he's meeting with the president of China and his team to work on a trade deal when they're over in Korea in just a few weeks.
00:07:48.360They stopped buying our soybeans because they thought that was punishment.
00:07:51.420And it is punishment to our farmers, but we're not going to allow that to happen because I made a great trade deal with China, a $50 billion trade deal.
00:08:31.920It's going to be fantastic for both countries, and it's going to be fantastic for the entire world.
00:08:38.700Doesn't sound like much of a king or a dictator to me.
00:08:43.420Now, some can make the case that China is our biggest enemy and that we can go to war with China at any given point, which I think there's a point to be made on both sides of that issue.
00:08:52.520But it's a man who's trying to work diplomatically with a country that hates our guts.
00:08:58.640I mean, they sent us over the Wu flu, killed a million Americans, millions worldwide, and he's still trying to work with these people diplomatically.
00:09:06.960A king, I think, takes a far different approach than how President Trump has approached this issue.
00:09:14.540Now, the Democrats have us in this 20-day, we're now in 20 days of a shutdown.
00:11:28.020You know, we talk about Donald Trump and you say, OK, he wants to be a consequential, influential president.
00:11:33.740Well, if the legislative process is basically freezed up, you know, on Capitol Hill, you may say, well, then he can't actually get legislation through.
00:11:39.660But that's not how Trump is governing in this term.
00:11:42.200We've spoken about this over and over and over again.
00:12:00.080You have to go all the way back since Franklin Delano Roosevelt to find a president who signed more executive orders in a year than Donald Trump has already signed this time around.
00:12:08.440And remember, John Berman, we still have two months to go in this year.
00:12:11.260So it wouldn't be surprising to me if he signs even more.
00:12:13.840It seems to be saying, Congress, you don't want to do something.
00:12:38.280Now, as promised, I want to bring in my good pal, Stephen Gardner, the host of The Stephen Gardner Show, who's on vacation, who's taking some time to talk with us tonight.
00:12:52.420Stephen, thanks so much for joining us.
00:15:08.120We're looking at over $2,500 a month without the Obama piece of crap care.
00:15:15.580They're threatening to raise upwards of over $4,000 a month.
00:15:19.660Like, I could buy a freaking Ferrari for $4,000 a month, not crappy American health care.
00:15:27.020We've got the sickest people on the planet, the most expensive health care on the planet.
00:15:31.840I mean, what we're all living through right now is a broken system, and the Republicans have done an excellent job of exposing Obama's biggest mistake, his legacy.
00:15:43.500At the same time, the American people, they're just not buying it.
00:15:46.760You can't vote to keep the government shut and then go on national television and say it's the other guy's fault.
00:15:55.540We have too many high IQ people in this country.
00:15:58.620Yeah, and you look at what we get for our tax dollars, Stephen, and I ask myself this every day living in New York.
00:16:03.620You luckily live out on the West Coast in a less liberal state.
00:16:07.020But now I'm mulling, you know, in the next year or so, moving out of New York to a tax-free state and to a state where, you know, you get more freedom.
00:16:16.460But I still ask myself, what do we really get for our tax dollars?
00:16:20.540I mean, you can't even say it's Social Security because we pay into that completely separately.
00:16:25.880You can't say it's Medicaid because we pay into that separately.
00:16:28.160What do we really even get for our tax dollars?
00:16:31.820You see crime throughout mostly big blue cities up through the roof.
00:16:36.200You see streets, at least in New York, undriveable for most cars.
00:22:52.620They brought in 20 million illegal immigrants of cheap labor and to replace their old voting base because they know that they're about to lose power.
00:23:02.400So if you ask me which party is behaving like a monarchy, it's actually the Democrat Party.
00:23:08.520Yeah, you made a really good point that them importing these illegal aliens, who is their form of new slaves.
00:23:16.300I mean, the working conditions they put them in, you know, these people aren't living normal lives.
00:23:22.100These people are coming here from other countries illegally.
00:23:25.220They're living, some of them, 10 to 15 people per apartment.
00:23:29.200They're just terrible living conditions.
00:23:31.720But they don't care because they want to figure out a way to let them vote.
00:23:35.320They want to figure out a way so that these people can assimilate into society and camouflage in so that the Democrats never lose again.
00:23:41.860Now, I'm convinced, even if Donald Trump lost this last election in 2024, that that's the end of America because the Democrats would have pushed through their no voter ID.
00:23:52.960They would have pushed through giving licenses to everybody and everyone would have got to vote.
00:23:57.520Now you say, oh, well, maybe they would have won after that.
00:24:00.940They would have flooded the system that it would never, ever possibly not that I'm saying it's fair right now because there's still a lot of big problems.
00:24:08.660But they would have flooded the systems even where it would have been irreplaceable.
00:24:13.580I mean, it's like dropping a mouse in the street in New York City and then the chance of you finding that mouse ever again.
00:24:18.640It's like, no, you let 30 million in to just go into society.
00:24:22.660How do you figure out who's here illegally?
00:24:25.360Yeah, I mean, maybe you can correct me if I'm wrong.
00:24:28.700But from what I remember about, you know, just over a year ago, President Trump won.
00:24:36.300Every single part of the United States shifted more red.
00:24:40.020And Kamala Harris lost areas that Joe Biden magically won by huge numbers, even though Trump won that the election before.
00:24:49.800The only area that she maintained ground, John, was in the areas where there's no voter ID.
00:24:57.580And that's exactly what they were going to do.
00:25:00.060They were going to roll out no voter ID, voter motor.
00:25:03.620I think just in the last 72 hours, either Michigan or Minnesota, I apologize, I've been on vacation, but they openly admitted.
00:25:12.980We get them a driver's license, whether they have the right name or not.
00:25:16.960But then because they have that, they are 100 percent allowed to vote in our elections if they have an ID.
00:25:22.780Not if they're a citizen, but if they have an ID.
00:25:28.680Elon Musk, it was one of the main reasons that he donated so much money to President Trump.
00:25:33.000He really felt that we would not have a country if he didn't help Donald J.
00:25:37.420Trump become the 47th president of the United States because they were flooding all of the swing states so that they would never swing again.
00:25:44.680They were trying to strengthen blue cities so that they would never lose again.
00:25:48.320But the reality is we saw a red shift like we've never seen before.
00:25:54.260I think 99 percent correct with your assessment of every county.
00:25:58.340I think it was like two or three counties somewhere in like western Colorado, probably want a really, really, really rich area where like they don't see anybody because there's like 10 people in the town about everybody moving to the right.
00:26:13.320I mean, you look at Los Angeles, the swings in California.
00:26:17.120We saw a swing of a million votes or it's really two million, a million towards the Republican.
00:26:21.600So a million lost on the Dem side and a million gains, a net of two million.
00:27:06.040I mean, this sets a dangerous precedent that the people voted for this guy in a primary and now the rest of the world is trying to get everyone else to beat him.
00:27:14.540I say let the chips fall where they may.
00:27:55.240It's going to move from New York City to Gotham City with crime.
00:27:59.300You literally, you just can't function giving everything away for free.
00:28:03.520That is not how a capitalist society works.
00:28:06.320Somebody has to make the money and you have to charge.
00:28:09.400But I guess Mandami, he's just going to go after white neighborhoods and tax white people more because that's how he's going to pay for all the illegals that he wants to come in there.
00:28:41.880Should have thought about this when this man was running and everyone took him as a joke.
00:28:46.180You tell somebody something's free and there's enough dumb people out there who are going to fall for the trick until they realize that somebody else, like you said, is paying for it.
00:30:26.640Like 99% of the time, the guy is happy.
00:30:29.780And he was in a cabinet meeting today with the prime minister of Australia, and someone blurted out to him that one of the ambassadors in the room from Australia had said some mean things about him.
00:30:41.080Now, anyone who knows President Trump, you know he doesn't like when someone says something mean about him.
00:31:52.200He's richer than most kings were in the past, and yet he's given all of that up in order to serve the American people.
00:32:01.240He's become the servant of the American people, and he's trying very hard.
00:32:06.920He's having to deal with foreign governments that don't want to, you know, play ball and others that, you know, they sign a deal and then they back out or whatever.
00:32:17.020And so it's very difficult, although I will say, you know, he seems to keep looking younger and younger,
00:32:24.920and that's the only president that I've ever seen that got happier and more jovial and healthy-looking.
00:32:34.620I also don't know a king that's ever been treated the way he's treated.
00:32:38.100Usually with kings, when you do the things you do, they've done to President Trump, those people would have been killed.
00:32:43.420At least in the olden days, they would have been, you know, publicly shammed in the public square.
00:32:48.020So I'm not entirely sure where these people are getting from.
00:32:50.500So you'd mentioned earlier on in the show the 10 times the Democrats blocked the government shutdown.
00:32:56.080Well, I've got some news for everybody.
00:32:57.540Just moments ago, Senate Democrats emboldened by weekend rallies blocked the GOP's plan from Fox News to end the shutdown for the 11th time.
00:33:08.300Senate Democrats fresh off a weekend of anti-Trump rallies again blocked the Republicans' plan to reopen the government for the 11th time as the shutdown nears its fourth week.
00:33:48.140I hope they don't ever open their eyes and realize because it'll help the Republicans in 2026 and I think hand it to whoever runs in 2028.
00:33:58.020But what point do these people say like, yeah, we're screwed?
00:34:01.680Yeah, one of the worst things in business is when you get too attached to your own idea.
00:34:09.220And so they are they are surrounded by yes men that keep telling them this is the fight that this is the fight that the American people want.
00:34:16.940It's kind of like, you know, President Trump said, what are the things that 80 percent of Americans want and 20 percent don't want?
00:34:24.960Right. And the Democrats have leaned into the 20 percent that people don't want.
00:34:29.600And President Trump has astutely leaned into the 80 percent that people do want.
00:34:35.560And so I don't quite understand their thinking.
00:34:39.680The only way to win as a Democrat is to go further to the left.
00:34:44.860And so they just continue to lean into the things that the American people don't really care about.
00:35:01.100We want to be done with Ukraine and Russia.
00:35:02.720We want to you know, like there's there's a lot of things that like we just want to focus on America and everybody keeps trying to distract us and take our dollars in some other way.
00:35:13.860But to answer your question, I don't know because I don't know how to think like a Democrat.
00:35:19.640I have tried and my brain is like, well, I wouldn't do that if I was a Democrat.
