00:00:00.000 Check this out, folks.
00:00:00.920 Prices of eggs, tariffs, revenue.
00:00:05.040 You have to see what this chart looks like.
00:00:07.500 Look at the amount of income America is now making with tariffs last couple months.
00:00:11.660 Let me first read it, Rob.
00:00:13.180 Trump's tariff shattered records $22.3 billion in May as revenue doubles.
00:00:16.900 The U.S. tariff record hit a 22.3.
00:00:19.600 Following April, 16.5.
00:00:20.820 Customs and excise taxes have more than doubled in just two months.
00:00:24.000 Year to date, the government has collected $67.2 billion in tariff revenue.
00:00:27.760 Now, tariffs now represent 4% of the federal revenue, up from just 2%.
00:00:32.180 This is what America First trade policy looked in action.
00:00:36.120 Every billion collected is a billion less taxed than American have to pay.
00:00:39.200 Look at this.
00:00:39.780 Pull it up, Rob, if you can click on it.
00:00:41.640 This is since what month?
00:00:43.020 Since 2005.
00:00:44.200 Zoom out a little bit more, Rob, if you could.
00:00:46.120 Look at from 05.
00:00:47.400 Look at the spike in tariff revenue.
00:00:49.520 This is from the Department of U.S. Treasury.
00:00:52.260 Look at that.
00:00:53.360 Barely anything, and then all of a sudden, boom!
00:00:56.480 We're doing a couple billion a month in tariff revenue.
00:00:59.480 Even prior to him getting in, it was $9 billion.
00:01:03.180 He takes $9 billion to $22 billion.
00:01:05.300 Can you go to the next chart, Rob, on prices of—look at this one here.
00:01:09.720 Egg prices have now declined 62% since President Trump's inauguration.
00:01:14.720 They were $6.55.
00:01:16.080 They're now $2.52 per dozen.
00:01:18.540 Folks, go to the store and buy up a bunch of eggs and hang on to them, right?
00:01:23.480 Massive win.
00:01:24.220 The media is obviously not going to talk about this, but this is a massive victory for eggs.
00:01:29.020 And I think there was one other chart as well, Rob, before I scream off the top of my lungs to defend this other plane behind us.
00:01:35.940 He's a Democrat in the airplane.
00:01:36.660 He's definitely a Democrat.
00:01:37.980 I'm going to piss these guys off.
00:01:39.640 They don't want these guys to come out.
00:01:41.460 So, Rob, do me a favor.
00:01:42.520 Go to that video.
00:01:43.540 Go to the video of CNN with the economy.
00:01:46.140 Play that two-minute clip.
00:01:47.140 If you can play this clip, Rob, we're going to finish up on this here.
00:01:50.200 Check this out.
00:01:50.900 CNN is hoping, dude, there is no way in the world with all the shit that's going on, there's going to be more positive things about him.
00:01:58.280 I don't think this is the one, Rob.
00:01:59.360 It's the other one.
00:01:59.940 That's the leaders.
00:02:00.300 Yes, this one is.
00:02:01.440 It's the Enten one.
00:02:02.180 That's the one.
00:02:02.920 Play this clip.
00:02:03.800 Look how they feel about the economy and what the Democrats used to represent in 1989 and where they're no longer at.
00:02:11.500 Watch this.
00:02:12.000 After all of the waves came open after the last few months, the first five months of the Donald Trump presidency, right, the first four months of the Donald Trump presidency, that you expect that Democrats would have this massive lead on the economy.
00:02:24.380 It ain't so.
00:02:25.180 It ain't so.
00:02:25.960 The party that is closest to your economic views, in November of 2023, it was the Republicans by 11 points.
00:02:30.940 Now it's still within that range, still within that margin of error, plus eight-point advantage for the Republican Party.
00:02:37.400 How is that possible, Democrats?
00:02:39.060 How is that possible after all the recession fears, after the stock market's been doing all of this, after all the terrorists that Americans are against, and Republicans still hold an eight-point lead on the economy?
00:02:48.700 Are you kidding me?
00:02:49.900 If it was just one CNN poll, that would be one thing.
00:02:53.060 But take a look at Reuters' Ipsos.
00:02:54.740 What do we see here?
00:02:55.880 Party with a better economic plan.
00:02:57.840 Well, in May of 2024, just before Donald Trump was re-elected president, Republicans had a nine-point advantage.
00:03:03.860 Look at where we are now in May of 2025.
00:03:06.140 Uh-oh.
00:03:06.740 The advantage actually went up by three points.
00:03:09.640 Now Republicans have a 12-point advantage when it comes to the party with a better economic plan.
00:03:14.460 And again, this is after months of supposed economic uncertainty in which the stock market's been going bonkers, in which the tariff wars that Americans are against have been going on.
00:03:24.460 And yet, despite all of that, the Democrats are down by 12 points on the economy.
00:03:28.560 This speaks to Democratic problems on the economy better than basically anything that you could possibly look at.
00:03:34.420 The Republicans still hold an advantage on the all-important key issue of the day, which is the party of the middle class, has been a huge advantage for Democrats.
00:03:42.720 I have polling from NBC going all the way back since 1989, when Democrats had a 23-point advantage.
00:03:48.060 2016, a 17-point advantage.
00:03:49.820 But by this decade, we already started seeing declines back in 2022, where you saw that Democrats led, but only by four points, well within the margin of error.
00:03:58.060 And now in our latest CNN poll among registered voters, which is the party of the middle class, it is tied?
00:04:03.280 This, I think, speaks to Democratic hails more than anything else.
00:04:06.040 That is insane.
00:04:06.280 They have traditionally been the party of the middle class.
00:04:08.660 No longer.
00:04:09.200 No more.
00:04:09.660 So what do you do now, Anton?
00:04:10.600 Donald Trump and the Republican Party have taken that mantle away.
00:04:12.440 And now a key advantage for Democrats historically has gone adios amigos, and now there is no party that is the party of the middle class.
00:04:19.020 Republicans have completely closed the gap.
00:04:20.660 You know what I think he just did?
00:04:21.980 I think secretly he just applied for a job at Fox.
00:04:24.340 He probably did.
00:04:25.540 Can you imagine?
00:04:26.460 Well, I love what he's saying.
00:04:28.480 And I'll tell you what, you know, words talk, numbers scream.
00:04:31.160 And listen to what he carefully, what he was saying.
00:04:33.180 He said we a lot.
00:04:34.300 And also he said, after all of the recession fears, he used that phrase twice, recession fears.
00:04:41.560 So, in other words, the entire mainstream media was saying could be a recession, would cause a calamity, could cause this.
00:04:49.120 And all you know what America said?
00:04:50.520 I think you're wrong.
00:04:51.840 I think this is going well.
00:04:53.280 I like this plan.
00:04:54.080 It may not be going perfect, but I like this plan.
00:04:56.620 And the polling is showing that.
00:04:58.360 After all the economic uncertainty, listen to that, fear, uncertainty.
00:05:02.240 Those are feeling words.
00:05:03.960 Those are liberal feeling words.
00:05:05.300 Those are not numbers.
00:05:06.780 And was the stock market having trouble?
00:05:08.900 Yes.
00:05:09.380 Have we not got a full deal with China yet?
00:05:12.280 No, we don't.
00:05:13.380 Do we need one?
00:05:14.360 Yes.
00:05:14.640 Do we need to bring the jobs back definitively?
00:05:16.920 Yes, we do.
00:05:17.640 Is there work to do?
00:05:18.400 Yes, there is.
00:05:19.440 But what Americans are saying?
00:05:21.160 I trust these guys more than those guys.
00:05:24.300 And I mean those colloquially, individuals.
00:05:27.020 I trust the GOP more than I trust the Democrats.
00:05:29.380 And it's getting worse.
00:05:31.040 And the more they whine about it, the more they're missing the fact that feeling words don't move people's hearts the way you think they do.
00:05:38.480 They may do it on social issues, but when you're talking about the economy and who do you trust, look at this polling over time.
00:05:44.200 You're losing, losing, losing, losing, losing, losing, losing, losing.
00:05:47.000 And why is trans so big? 1.00
00:05:48.640 I'll tell you why.
00:05:49.700 It's the next big feeling issue they needed because they don't have anything else.
00:05:54.600 It's embarrassing.
00:05:55.540 It's like Tombstone.
00:05:57.380 Tombstone, six shots, boy, you're out.
00:06:01.640 Damn.
00:06:02.040 Damn, Tom.
00:06:02.480 Damn, Tom.
00:06:03.260 Tom just dropped that mic right there.
00:06:04.860 That was like.
00:06:05.700 Look, Harry Enten.
00:06:06.940 Bring us home.
00:06:07.500 We're going to wrap it up.
00:06:08.120 I'm going to show Clem we're going to wrap up.
00:06:09.260 Go for it.
00:06:09.600 Harry Enten has basically been working for the RNC discreetly and the Trump administration on CNN.
00:06:16.040 Give him a raise if that's true.
00:06:17.160 He went through a lot of stats, basically, how don't be fooled by all the tariff and what's going on with the Trump situation.
00:06:25.020 Apparently, people still feel very comfortable with Trump running the economy.
00:06:28.300 But for me, the biggest words talk, numbers scream moment right there, Tom, shout out to you, was that last stat about how which is the party of the middle class.
00:06:37.280 Because the Democratic Party, since I've been alive, since we've all been alive, has been the party of the working class, has been the party of the working people, has been the party of the unions.
00:06:45.980 Now it's tied, which makes me ask the following question.
00:06:50.780 What the hell does the Democratic Party stand for at this point?
00:06:54.460 So they stand for what?
00:06:56.820 Gayness, wokeness, and DEI? 0.92
00:06:59.000 Is that what it is?
00:07:00.340 Because they used to have an economic message about empowering the middle class and then basically ending the sort of economic uncertainty between the wage gap.
00:07:09.840 But now?
00:07:10.760 So if you look at these numbers here, 1989, that's the tail end of Ronald Reagan.
00:07:15.740 Couldn't have been higher as far as the disparity between the middle class, the Republican, and the Democrats.
00:07:22.220 And then 2016, Obama, the bookends, they're still the party of the middle class. 0.80
00:07:27.640 Because Trump, by the time that he leaves office, a billionaire, has basically convinced the rest of America, no, no, the Republicans are the party.
00:07:37.620 A billionaire did that.
00:07:39.980 So he's the McDonald's billionaire.
00:07:41.720 Now it's basically tied.
00:07:43.400 I don't have no clue what the Democratic Party stands for at this point, other than booing Trump.
00:07:50.100 Yeah, I'm not.
00:07:50.800 Oh, sorry.
00:07:51.560 Go for it.
00:07:52.400 No, I'm far from ready to throw a parade just yet.
00:07:55.160 I think he's doing some deeply concerning things.
00:07:56.500 Which kind of parade, Brandon?
00:07:58.640 Prayed for the Republicans, not the weird kind.
00:08:01.440 But, yeah, no.
00:08:02.060 So, I mean, I think Trump's doing some deeply disturbing, concerning things when it comes to the economy, when it comes to the middle class.
00:08:07.800 Like, I think the deficit's the biggest problem for the middle class, and that's why life is unaffordable for most people.
00:08:12.880 And we're heading in that same direction still.
00:08:14.420 And he's probably unwittingly signing us up for a, like, severe technocratic control state.
00:08:21.480 I don't know if it's by his design or not.
00:08:23.140 But, yeah, I'm happy overall with what he's doing compared to what the alternative was.
00:08:27.420 But I'm still super concerned about some stuff that he's working us into right now.
00:08:30.660 There's a couple stories we didn't get into.
00:08:32.680 Maybe we will next week or the following week, Palantir being one of them.
00:08:35.820 But we are at the end of it, folks.
00:08:37.140 A couple things.
00:08:37.740 For some of you that are family folks, and you're running a business, and you have a career, and sometimes you're like, dude, I don't know how to do it with the kids, with the family right now.
00:08:45.940 We were just in Italy last week with four kids traveling and saying craziness business, back to back to back while cooking kids.
00:08:52.360 Those are so many different things going on.
00:08:54.400 Sometimes you're like, I don't have a clue how to do it.
00:08:56.800 We're doing a webinar.
00:08:57.820 I want you to watch this video and put this in your calendar.
00:09:00.880 Nearly 20,000 people have registered for this webinar.
00:09:03.300 Rob, play this clip.
00:09:04.540 If you're a family man or a family woman, get yourself your spouse on this webinar.
00:09:10.160 Go ahead, Rob.
00:09:11.180 You know what's scary for some people is they want to be a killer in business.
00:09:13.720 They want to do a great job as an executive, as a CEO, entrepreneur, business owner, but they don't want to kill their marriage.
00:09:18.500 So how do you balance that out?
00:09:19.520 You want to go make all the money, travel, win for your family, but you want to stay married.
00:09:23.580 You want to have a good relation with your kids.
00:09:25.000 You want your kids to still want to see how do you do this.
00:09:26.580 There's four things, by the way.
00:09:27.480 You ready?
00:09:28.140 Write these down.
00:09:29.180 Number one, you're allowing your family and friends to make you feel guilty for your vision, which is going to create resentment towards them.
00:09:35.560 You don't want that.
00:09:36.520 Number two is you lack clarity on the vision.
00:09:39.100 You don't really know what you're doing it for.
00:09:40.440 So work-life balance is a question that comes up for people that are not clear of what they want to do.
00:09:45.020 They haven't had the conversation with their family.
00:09:47.120 Number three is the concept of being intentional with the time you're spending with your family.
00:09:51.280 And number four is maybe you're just looking for an excuse to not work that hard because your family is not bothering you.
00:09:56.800 You're just looking for it.
00:09:58.380 This concept of work-life balance comes up every single day with people who ask me this question.
00:10:03.980 On June 11th, I'm hosting a free webinar for one hour to talk about work-life balance with the people that don't have the answer to the questions there, just like I didn't have it at that time.
00:10:13.420 I'm married now with four kids, running all these businesses.
00:10:16.440 Some days you feel like you can't.
00:10:17.700 You don't know what the hell you're doing.
00:10:18.900 All I'm going to do is share with you mistakes I've made and things that are working for me.
00:10:22.180 So if it's important to you, get registered.
00:10:24.600 Tell your wife, your husband.
00:10:25.940 Get everybody on together to listen up.
00:10:28.500 We're going to go through it for one hour, again, on June 11th.
00:10:31.680 Register because it's a limited seat on this webinar.
