Trump's tariffs have doubled in price and brought in more than $67B in revenue in 2 months, and it's all thanks to Trump's America First Trade policy. This is a huge win for the economy and a huge victory for the president.
00:02:12.000After 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.
00:02:39.060How 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?
00:03:06.740The advantage actually went up by three points.
00:03:09.640Now Republicans have a 12-point advantage when it comes to the party with a better economic plan.
00:03:14.460And 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.
00:03:24.460And yet, despite all of that, the Democrats are down by 12 points on the economy.
00:03:28.560This speaks to Democratic problems on the economy better than basically anything that you could possibly look at.
00:03:34.420The 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.
00:03:42.720I have polling from NBC going all the way back since 1989, when Democrats had a 23-point advantage.
00:03:49.820But 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.
00:03:58.060And now in our latest CNN poll among registered voters, which is the party of the middle class, it is tied?
00:04:03.280This, I think, speaks to Democratic hails more than anything else.
00:05:31.040And 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.
00:05:38.480They 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.
00:06:17.160He 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.
00:06:25.020Apparently, people still feel very comfortable with Trump running the economy.
00:06:28.300But 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.
00:06:37.280Because 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.
00:06:45.980Now it's tied, which makes me ask the following question.
00:06:50.780What the hell does the Democratic Party stand for at this point?
00:07:00.340Because 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.
00:07:10.760So if you look at these numbers here, 1989, that's the tail end of Ronald Reagan.
00:07:15.740Couldn't have been higher as far as the disparity between the middle class, the Republican, and the Democrats.
00:07:22.220And then 2016, Obama, the bookends, they're still the party of the middle class.
00:07:27.640Because Trump, by the time that he leaves office, a billionaire, has basically convinced the rest of America, no, no, the Republicans are the party.
00:08:02.060So, 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.
00:08:07.800Like, I think the deficit's the biggest problem for the middle class, and that's why life is unaffordable for most people.
00:08:12.880And we're heading in that same direction still.
00:08:14.420And he's probably unwittingly signing us up for a, like, severe technocratic control state.
00:08:21.480I don't know if it's by his design or not.
00:08:23.140But, yeah, I'm happy overall with what he's doing compared to what the alternative was.
00:08:27.420But I'm still super concerned about some stuff that he's working us into right now.
00:08:30.660There's a couple stories we didn't get into.
00:08:32.680Maybe we will next week or the following week, Palantir being one of them.
00:08:37.740For 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.
00:08:45.940We were just in Italy last week with four kids traveling and saying craziness business, back to back to back while cooking kids.
00:08:52.360Those are so many different things going on.
00:08:54.400Sometimes you're like, I don't have a clue how to do it.
00:09:29.180Number one, you're allowing your family and friends to make you feel guilty for your vision, which is going to create resentment towards them.
00:09:58.380This concept of work-life balance comes up every single day with people who ask me this question.
00:10:03.980On 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.
00:10:13.420I'm married now with four kids, running all these businesses.
