00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.
00:00:02.400 Guaranteed human.
00:00:04.680 Six weeks ago, I stood beneath the dome of this Capitol
00:00:08.560 and proclaimed the dawn of the golden age of America.
00:00:13.660 We have accomplished more in 43 days
00:00:16.240 than most administrations accomplished
00:00:18.480 in four years or eight years.
00:00:20.980 And we are just getting started.
00:00:26.960 You're listening to the 47 Morning Update
00:00:29.860 with Ben Ferguson.
00:00:31.120 Good Thursday morning.
00:00:32.160 It is Ben Ferguson with you.
00:00:33.420 It's the 47 Morning Update.
00:00:34.880 And here are the big stories we're covering today.
00:00:36.880 First up, it was a grand slam
00:00:38.380 for the President of the United States of America
00:00:39.960 with a joint address to Congress.
00:00:42.000 How do we know that?
00:00:42.780 Well, a new CBS poll says it's 76% approved
00:00:46.520 of Donald Trump's address.
00:00:48.260 I'll break down the poll numbers for you
00:00:49.960 in much more detail in just a moment.
00:00:51.580 Plus, Democrats didn't learn a darn thing
00:00:53.940 from election night,
00:00:55.040 and they certainly didn't learn anything
00:00:56.400 in the address to Congress.
00:00:57.620 It says, anarchy set in among the Democratic Party.
00:01:00.760 So when you look at the polls,
00:01:02.160 are they going to change the way they're doing things?
00:01:03.880 Apparently not.
00:01:04.940 And we have a big showdown over censoring
00:01:07.140 one of those Democrats
00:01:08.080 in the House of Representatives.
00:01:10.140 And finally, it's a really important subject.
00:01:12.900 It is the tariffs on China,
00:01:14.780 on Canada,
00:01:15.840 and on Mexico.
00:01:17.120 So what is this really all about?
00:01:19.300 I'm going to give you exclusive details
00:01:21.000 from the White House
00:01:22.100 on exactly what they want you to know.
00:01:24.360 It's the 47 Morning Update,
00:01:26.400 and it starts right now.
00:01:28.000 Here is story number one.
00:01:29.120 After you do a State of the Union,
00:01:30.720 the question is,
00:01:31.680 did it land with the American people?
00:01:33.780 Well, boy, did it ever.
00:01:35.420 CBS poll has come out
00:01:37.180 and said that 76%
00:01:39.500 approved of President Trump's address to Congress.
00:01:42.640 I cannot tell you
00:01:43.840 how massive that actually is.
00:01:46.380 The majority of Americans
00:01:47.520 overwhelmingly supporting
00:01:49.060 Donald Trump's decisions.
00:01:51.140 And viewers who watched it said,
00:01:53.000 yes, we approve of what Donald Trump
00:01:54.840 had to say in his speech,
00:01:56.000 which was the longest State of the Union ever,
00:01:57.920 to that joint session of Congress Tuesday night.
00:02:00.140 Now, Trump boasted about the many accomplishments
00:02:02.500 since being inaugurated January 20th
00:02:04.700 and exclaimed,
00:02:05.660 we are just getting started.
00:02:08.300 Did the American people believe
00:02:09.680 and support what the president was saying?
00:02:12.000 Yes.
00:02:12.820 A whopping 76% of those watching
00:02:15.620 said they approved of Trump's
00:02:17.000 first, second-term speech to Congress.
00:02:19.860 And this is, again,
00:02:20.820 coming from CBS News.
00:02:22.000 Now, one of the X factors of this
00:02:25.360 is also just how negative 0.79
00:02:27.000 and honestly psycho the Democrats look. 0.98
00:02:29.920 They wouldn't even stand and clap
00:02:31.420 when someone gets into West Point
00:02:32.900 who had lost a loved one.
00:02:34.340 They wouldn't stand and clap
00:02:35.520 for a young boy
00:02:37.820 who was made a Secret Service agent.
00:02:40.400 They wouldn't clap
00:02:41.380 when we talked about bringing
00:02:42.640 actual terrorists
00:02:43.920 that have killed Americans 0.97
00:02:45.200 that obligate to justice
00:02:46.840 in the United States of America.
00:02:48.200 And I'm going to have more
00:02:48.920 on that list in a moment.
00:02:49.880 But that may be why
00:02:51.520 the president landed the speech
00:02:53.300 so well
00:02:53.780 is because the American people
00:02:55.400 could see just how much
00:02:56.860 the Democratic Party
00:02:58.260 hates basic things
00:03:00.340 that all Americans
00:03:01.340 should be in favor of.
00:03:03.120 It shouldn't be a partisan issue
00:03:04.840 if you have a president
00:03:06.440 saying we're bringing terrorists
00:03:08.040 to justice.
00:03:08.920 It shouldn't be a partisan issue
00:03:10.420 to stand for a young boy
00:03:12.280 who is fighting for his life
00:03:13.840 with cancer and surviving
00:03:15.540 and then being made
00:03:16.860 a Secret Service agent.
00:03:19.900 This is one of those moments
00:03:21.660 that everyone should clap for
00:03:23.340 and yet the Democrats
00:03:24.480 refuse to stand.
00:03:26.080 So, let's get to the poll numbers
00:03:27.880 and really break this down.
00:03:29.480 Not only did 91%
00:03:32.040 say that Donald Trump
00:03:33.120 spent time on issues
00:03:34.140 they cared about
00:03:35.040 meaning that is a speech
00:03:36.360 that laid it.
00:03:36.820 Look, I've gotten to help
00:03:38.320 on a couple of different
00:03:39.220 State of the Union addresses
00:03:40.120 and if you walked into
00:03:41.600 the president and said
00:03:42.220 Ms. President,
00:03:42.700 we just wrote you a speech
00:03:43.660 that 91% of the country
00:03:44.920 is going to connect with
00:03:45.740 and say that you talked about
00:03:47.700 an issue they cared about
00:03:48.680 let me just tell you
00:03:49.720 you would be a god
00:03:50.780 in the political speech writing world.
00:03:52.860 Okay?
00:03:53.280 I've never seen a speech
00:03:55.020 to my knowledge
00:03:56.140 that rated afterwards
00:03:57.160 at 91%.
00:03:58.320 That is the holy grail
00:03:59.880 where 91% of the people
00:04:01.340 watching said
00:04:01.920 hey, you talked about
00:04:02.920 something that I genuinely
00:04:04.100 cared about.
00:04:04.900 Now, that is unbelievable
00:04:06.520 on its face
00:04:07.800 but then you go back
00:04:09.160 to the other question.
00:04:10.260 Okay?
00:04:10.840 Was the speech
00:04:11.980 something you watched
00:04:12.780 for a long period of time?
00:04:13.800 That simply comes down
00:04:15.220 to an issue
00:04:15.800 of entertainment.
00:04:17.020 Are you engaged?
00:04:18.520 Is the president
00:04:19.060 speaking to you
00:04:19.880 or is he talking about
00:04:20.660 things that you
00:04:21.280 don't care about?
00:04:22.300 Well, 91% said
00:04:24.340 the president spent time
00:04:25.260 on issues they cared about
00:04:26.160 and then 74%
00:04:28.360 said the address
00:04:29.640 was presidential
00:04:30.840 and also informative
00:04:32.640 and entertaining.
00:04:33.660 A total of 71%
00:04:35.300 after that
00:04:36.060 said the speech
00:04:36.860 was inspiring to them.
00:04:38.860 Now, let's go back
00:04:39.680 to speech writing here
00:04:40.840 and say the unions.
00:04:41.480 When you're writing
00:04:42.180 a speech like this
00:04:43.240 if you could walk
00:04:44.400 into any president
00:04:45.220 and say hey,
00:04:45.700 I'm going to give you
00:04:46.160 a speech that 91%
00:04:47.300 are going to say
00:04:47.740 connected with them
00:04:48.440 in a way.
00:04:49.080 74% said
00:04:50.380 that your address
00:04:51.640 was quote presidential
00:04:52.620 and then 71%
00:04:54.800 Mr. President
00:04:55.540 said the speech
00:04:56.100 was inspiring to them.
00:04:57.640 That is,
00:04:58.460 these are numbers
00:04:59.140 that I would
00:04:59.920 literally argue
00:05:00.780 are virtually unobtainable.
00:05:02.900 Now, these numbers
00:05:03.920 I just gave you
00:05:04.520 all came from CBS News
00:05:06.240 so they had to have been
00:05:07.200 on suicide watch
00:05:08.620 after they had to report this
00:05:09.840 as a news organization
00:05:11.080 because this is not
00:05:12.400 what they were hoping
00:05:13.380 to tell you.
00:05:14.300 Next, story number two.
00:05:15.640 If you thought
00:05:16.340 the Democrats
00:05:16.960 were going to learn
00:05:17.720 anything from
00:05:18.480 Donald Trump's speech
00:05:19.400 or how America
00:05:20.560 reacted to it
00:05:21.340 with the incredible
00:05:21.980 poll numbers,
00:05:23.000 well, you'd be wrong
00:05:23.860 because they are all now
00:05:25.660 saying that they
00:05:26.540 didn't do enough
00:05:27.640 to disrupt the president
00:05:28.740 of the United States
00:05:29.480 of America.
00:05:30.320 Even ABC News'
00:05:32.020 Sonny Hostin
00:05:32.760 said all the Democrats
00:05:34.140 should have walked out
00:05:35.140 during Donald Trump's
00:05:36.640 address.
00:05:37.660 That on The View
00:05:38.620 saying the Democratic
00:05:39.580 lawmakers should have
00:05:40.580 I guess in essence
00:05:41.420 said we're standing
00:05:42.600 with you
00:05:43.180 to the one man
00:05:44.300 that actually was
00:05:45.080 booted from the night.
00:05:46.780 Sonny Hostin said,
00:05:47.580 you know,
00:05:47.920 while I didn't watch it
00:05:48.920 I was looking for signs
00:05:50.500 of an opposition party
00:05:52.000 which is what the
00:05:52.880 Democratic Party
00:05:53.640 must be at this point.
00:05:55.340 Not a resistance
00:05:56.100 because resistance
00:05:57.120 is passive.
00:05:58.600 Opposition is active.
00:06:00.480 I think that
00:06:01.380 is what I saw
00:06:02.680 when Representative Al Green
00:06:03.920 stood up and said
00:06:04.780 quote,
00:06:05.360 you don't have a mandate
00:06:06.580 to take away Medicaid
00:06:08.000 and he was tossed out.
00:06:10.200 I expected the rest
00:06:11.360 of his Democratic caucus
00:06:12.580 his colleagues
00:06:13.360 to walk out with him
00:06:14.420 because alone
00:06:15.800 you can survive
00:06:17.120 but together
00:06:17.800 you thrive.
00:06:19.540 She went on to say
00:06:20.480 later in the program
00:06:21.360 that quote,
00:06:22.420 that is the energy
00:06:23.180 that we need.
00:06:24.180 They should have stood
00:06:25.100 with him in solidarity.
00:06:26.960 We had Jean-Pierre
00:06:28.500 here on this show
00:06:29.420 yesterday
00:06:29.960 and she said
00:06:31.300 we have to have
00:06:32.160 a sense of urgency
00:06:33.160 as we move forward
00:06:34.320 and we cannot do it
00:06:35.460 the way we have
00:06:36.400 in the past.
00:06:37.740 This is not normal.
00:06:39.340 It is a five alarm fire
00:06:41.040 and what I want to say
00:06:42.420 to the Democrats
00:06:43.160 is you can't play
00:06:44.700 by the rules
00:06:45.780 with a party
00:06:46.980 that has thrown away
00:06:48.040 the rule book.
00:06:48.880 You cannot do it.
00:06:50.060 Now,
00:06:50.380 this is coming
00:06:50.920 from the same people
00:06:51.780 that tried to put 0.73
00:06:52.960 Donald Trump in prison
00:06:54.140 and anyone else
00:06:54.960 around him.
00:06:55.700 They're the ones
00:06:56.260 that advocated
00:06:56.820 for the raid of Mar-a-Lago.
00:06:58.320 They're the ones
00:06:58.920 that said
00:06:59.680 that the people
00:07:00.620 around January the 6th
00:07:02.360 were the same
00:07:02.920 as terrorists
00:07:03.880 that attacked
00:07:04.380 this country
00:07:04.900 on 9-11.
00:07:05.780 You know,
00:07:06.120 Osama bin Laden
00:07:06.780 and Al-Qaeda.
00:07:07.820 These are also
00:07:08.360 the same people
00:07:09.320 that are now
00:07:10.040 actively advocating
00:07:11.740 for anarchy
00:07:12.880 or in other words
00:07:13.920 Democrats obsessed
00:07:14.900 over insurrectionists.
00:07:16.680 Now,
00:07:16.960 it seems that
00:07:17.520 the Democratic Party
00:07:18.380 is calling for
00:07:19.040 exactly that
00:07:19.820 anarchy
00:07:20.380 and insurrection
00:07:21.440 but not from people
00:07:22.660 outside the Capitol.
00:07:23.760 They're literally
00:07:24.180 advocating for it
00:07:25.000 by the people
00:07:25.560 that have been elected
00:07:26.320 inside of our government.
00:07:28.760 You may have also seen
00:07:29.940 during Donald Trump's
00:07:30.880 joint address to Congress
00:07:32.120 the purple-haired
00:07:33.040 Congresswoman
00:07:33.940 who went viral
00:07:35.400 Tuesday night
00:07:36.120 for scowling
00:07:37.020 throughout the entirety
00:07:37.980 of President Donald Trump's
00:07:38.980 address to Congress.
00:07:40.280 Well,
00:07:40.540 she decided it was
00:07:41.500 not enough
00:07:42.000 just to scowl
00:07:42.800 at the President
00:07:43.280 all night.
00:07:43.800 She even put out
00:07:44.540 a special video
00:07:45.500 on X saying this.
00:07:47.180 I was really stunned
00:07:48.340 that the election
00:07:50.360 was fought over
00:07:51.600 the cost of living
00:07:52.780 and people,
00:07:53.860 families who live
00:07:54.900 paycheck to paycheck
00:07:55.680 concerned about
00:07:57.440 whether or not
00:07:58.080 they were going to be
00:07:58.680 able to pay their bills,
00:08:00.020 be able to pay
00:08:00.560 for the health care,
00:08:01.280 in some cases
00:08:01.900 even putting food
00:08:02.640 on the table.
00:08:03.840 And the address
00:08:05.020 tonight didn't address
00:08:06.300 any of those issues
00:08:07.560 about cost of living
00:08:08.700 and the fact that
00:08:09.540 people live paycheck
00:08:10.300 to paycheck
00:08:10.800 and what we ought
00:08:11.680 to be doing
00:08:12.260 in the Congress
00:08:13.060 is to make sure
00:08:14.160 that we are
00:08:14.760 helping people
00:08:16.100 to secure
00:08:17.280 an economic future
00:08:18.120 for themselves
00:08:18.700 and their families.
00:08:20.060 By the way,
00:08:20.740 let's just hit pause
00:08:21.620 there and go
00:08:22.180 what the CBS poll
00:08:23.380 numbers actually did
00:08:24.400 tell us about the speech.
00:08:26.080 The people watching
00:08:27.020 the speech
00:08:27.540 definitely believe
00:08:29.000 that the President
00:08:29.580 was actually talking
00:08:30.620 about those things.
00:08:31.680 In fact,
00:08:32.200 when asked whether
00:08:32.700 the President
00:08:33.040 had a clear plan
00:08:34.180 to battle inflation
00:08:35.280 in the speech,
00:08:37.040 68% said yes
00:08:39.640 and it was a plan
00:08:40.840 that they could get behind.
00:08:42.440 So,
00:08:42.760 what is she actually 0.97
00:08:43.640 complaining about?
00:08:44.600 She's complaining 0.94
00:08:45.260 about the fact
00:08:45.940 that the Democratic Party
00:08:46.900 lost the last election
00:08:48.160 and that is when
00:08:49.280 she tells you the truth
00:08:50.580 about how much
00:08:51.560 she hates Donald Trump.
00:08:52.960 Keep listening.
00:08:53.860 I found the speech
00:08:54.620 to be vengeful,
00:08:56.920 revengeful,
00:08:57.520 and instead of being
00:08:59.060 lifting the hopes
00:09:01.320 and the aspirations
00:09:02.400 of people
00:09:02.900 of the United States
00:09:03.960 of how we move forward
00:09:05.560 as a great nation
00:09:06.460 that we are,
00:09:07.540 what the vision
00:09:08.200 for our future was,
00:09:09.860 it devolved
00:09:10.820 into just vindictiveness
00:09:14.080 and self-adulation
00:09:16.460 on behalf
00:09:17.380 of Donald Trump.
00:09:19.780 It did not address
00:09:20.860 the issue
00:09:21.960 of unchecked billionaires
00:09:23.940 like his friend ally
00:09:27.120 and Elon Musk.
00:09:30.080 It was not a speech
00:09:31.480 befitting a great world leader
00:09:33.860 or a great president
00:09:35.620 of the United States.
00:09:37.320 So,
00:09:37.840 there you have it.
00:09:38.560 They're angry
00:09:39.320 about Elon Musk
00:09:40.360 cutting their waste,
00:09:41.880 their fraud,
00:09:42.600 and their abuse.
00:09:43.580 They're also angry
00:09:44.220 at Elon Musk
00:09:44.860 for apparently being wealthy,
00:09:46.140 but they have no problem
00:09:47.040 with George Soros
00:09:48.380 or any of the other billionaires
00:09:49.520 on the left
00:09:50.100 that have been financing
00:09:51.280 this type of,
00:09:52.980 quote,
00:09:53.280 anarchy
00:09:53.860 and revengeful vengefulness
00:09:56.060 to quote her.
00:09:57.180 So,
00:09:57.480 at the end of the day,
00:09:58.180 if you thought Democrats
00:09:59.320 were going to learn
00:10:00.100 from their mistakes,
00:10:01.260 apparently they're not at all.
00:10:02.760 And that may actually
00:10:03.560 be a good thing
00:10:04.320 for Donald Trump
00:10:05.080 and his agenda.
00:10:06.380 And finally,
00:10:07.220 story number three.
00:10:08.120 It's very important
00:10:09.160 that you understand
00:10:10.160 what's going on
00:10:11.180 with Donald Trump
00:10:12.040 using tariffs
00:10:13.100 to protect American lives.
00:10:15.680 There's a lot of
00:10:16.700 misinformation out there
00:10:18.080 about the president
00:10:19.100 and the tariffs
00:10:19.800 that have just gone into effect.
00:10:21.140 And I want you to understand
00:10:22.260 why, first off,
00:10:23.460 the president
00:10:23.900 is actually doing this.
00:10:25.660 You may not know,
00:10:26.620 but President Joe Biden
00:10:27.780 did very little
00:10:28.980 on fighting
00:10:30.280 to protect Americans
00:10:31.260 from fentanyl.
00:10:32.460 Fentanyl smugglers
00:10:33.240 killed roughly
00:10:34.100 300,000 Americans
00:10:37.200 during his time in office.
00:10:39.260 That is exactly why
00:10:40.660 President Trump
00:10:41.320 has quickly imposed
00:10:42.380 painful tariffs
00:10:43.360 on countries
00:10:44.140 that are helping
00:10:45.320 those smugglers
00:10:46.560 that killed,
00:10:47.500 again,
00:10:48.060 300,000 Americans
00:10:50.960 during the Biden
00:10:52.120 administration.
00:10:53.360 Quote,
00:10:53.860 I determined
00:10:54.940 that the failure
00:10:55.780 of the government
00:10:56.440 of the People's Republic
00:10:58.140 of China
00:10:58.880 to act to blunt
00:11:00.400 the sustained influx
00:11:02.060 of synthetic opioids,
00:11:03.520 including fentanyl,
00:11:04.780 flowing from
00:11:05.800 the Chinese Republic
00:11:07.600 to the United States
00:11:08.880 constituted an unusual
00:11:10.360 and extraordinary threat
00:11:11.680 to the national security,
00:11:13.660 foreign policy,
00:11:14.800 and economy
00:11:15.340 of the United States
00:11:16.100 of America.
00:11:16.920 That is what Donald Trump
00:11:17.880 declared in his
00:11:18.640 March 3rd order.
00:11:19.800 He also went on
00:11:20.900 to say this,
00:11:21.900 in recognition
00:11:22.500 of the fact
00:11:23.640 that China 0.93
00:11:24.200 has not taken
00:11:24.980 adequate steps
00:11:26.080 to alleviate
00:11:26.680 the illicit drug crisis,
00:11:28.720 Section 2A
00:11:29.600 of Executive Order
00:11:30.520 1419-5
00:11:32.080 is hereby amended
00:11:33.120 by striking the words
00:11:34.360 10%
00:11:35.220 and inserting in lieu
00:11:37.040 thereof
00:11:37.520 the words
00:11:38.000 20%.
00:11:39.240 The order is titled
00:11:40.380 Further Amendment
00:11:41.640 to Duties Addressing
00:11:42.880 the Synthetic Opioid
00:11:44.360 Supply Chain
00:11:45.340 in the People's Republic
00:11:46.400 of China.
00:11:47.020 Now, this isn't
00:11:48.160 the only place
00:11:49.160 we're having problems
00:11:50.300 when it comes
00:11:50.900 to Americans
00:11:51.780 dying because
00:11:52.960 of the drugs
00:11:54.020 that are pouring
00:11:55.020 across the open borders.
00:11:56.980 Trump also posted
00:11:58.280 trade penalties
00:11:58.920 against Mexico 0.51
00:11:59.840 and Canada,
00:12:00.700 where criminal gangs
00:12:01.680 are producing
00:12:02.340 more drugs
00:12:03.480 for export
00:12:04.520 to the United States.
00:12:06.000 Now, the vast
00:12:06.640 death toll
00:12:07.320 from fentanyl,
00:12:08.300 much of which
00:12:09.000 is manufactured
00:12:09.920 in Mexico
00:12:10.620 from chemicals
00:12:11.480 that were directly
00:12:12.700 produced in China,
00:12:14.160 is described
00:12:14.820 in multiple
00:12:15.740 government reports.
00:12:16.660 This is something
00:12:17.480 the Biden administration
00:12:18.380 knew and they
00:12:19.500 didn't care
00:12:20.180 that 300 plus
00:12:21.580 thousand Americans
00:12:22.900 were ODing.
00:12:24.280 Yet, Biden's
00:12:25.080 countermeasures
00:12:25.920 were, by the way,
00:12:26.780 all tactical
00:12:27.480 when he did act
00:12:28.540 like he was acting
00:12:29.460 and he put little
00:12:30.440 or no pressure
00:12:31.100 on Mexico
00:12:31.640 and China
00:12:32.480 to stop the killing
00:12:33.640 of Americans.
00:12:35.100 In part,
00:12:35.940 Biden's deputies
00:12:36.800 including Border
00:12:37.800 Chief Mayorkas,
00:12:39.120 they prioritized
00:12:40.020 trade deals
00:12:41.160 with China
00:12:41.820 and migration
00:12:43.000 deals with Mexico
00:12:44.260 over American lives.
00:12:46.240 Let me give you
00:12:47.040 an example.
00:12:48.020 In 2022,
00:12:49.340 Biden's deputies
00:12:50.420 stayed mute
00:12:51.900 when Texas Governor
00:12:53.080 Greg Abbott
00:12:53.840 used his power
00:12:54.640 over cross-border
00:12:56.340 inspections
00:12:57.120 to force
00:12:57.860 modest concessions
00:12:59.180 from four
00:13:00.220 Mexican regional
00:13:01.340 governments.
00:13:02.760 Unsurprisingly,
00:13:04.080 Trump's efforts
00:13:04.880 are being opposed
00:13:05.760 by pro-illegal
00:13:07.380 immigrant advocates
00:13:08.520 who do not
00:13:09.540 want to recognize
00:13:10.500 the huge death
00:13:11.800 toll to American
00:13:12.640 citizens.
00:13:13.180 For example,
00:13:14.780 Aaron Brake
00:13:15.520 at the Washington
00:13:16.160 Post wrote this,
00:13:17.320 President Donald
00:13:18.120 Trump's long
00:13:18.880 promised tariffs
00:13:19.820 on goods from
00:13:20.440 Canada and Mexico
00:13:21.140 are due to go
00:13:21.700 into effect Tuesday.
00:13:23.060 This despite fears
00:13:24.120 that the taxes
00:13:24.860 on imports
00:13:25.460 could cripple 1.00
00:13:26.040 the economies
00:13:26.720 of our two
00:13:27.740 neighboring allies
00:13:29.120 and negatively
00:13:29.820 impact the U.S.
00:13:30.680 economy as well
00:13:31.520 by exacerbating
00:13:33.000 inflation.
00:13:34.080 You notice
00:13:34.520 they don't care
00:13:35.280 about American
00:13:35.860 families being
00:13:36.560 ripped apart
00:13:37.100 by these
00:13:38.020 synthetic drugs.
00:13:39.520 The New York
00:13:40.000 Times wrote,
00:13:40.700 for American
00:13:41.520 families,
00:13:42.300 the likely result
00:13:43.020 is higher prices
00:13:43.900 nearly everywhere
00:13:44.640 they turn.
00:13:45.540 Trying to fear
00:13:46.180 monger you 0.99
00:13:46.640 that the grocery
00:13:47.480 prices are more
00:13:48.340 important than
00:13:48.860 your children's
00:13:49.660 lives.
00:13:50.440 They also went
00:13:51.000 on to talk
00:13:51.400 about car
00:13:51.920 dealerships
00:13:52.600 and electronic
00:13:53.280 stores and
00:13:54.040 iPhones and
00:13:55.220 what you're
00:13:55.880 going to pay
00:13:56.340 at the pump.
00:13:57.440 The Wall Street
00:13:57.840 Journal even
00:13:58.440 ignored the
00:13:58.840 narcotics trade
00:13:59.620 as it slammed
00:14:00.960 Donald Trump's
00:14:01.820 tariffs.
00:14:02.660 Good news is
00:14:03.260 Donald Trump
00:14:03.780 wasted no time
00:14:04.760 responding to
00:14:05.440 the Wall Street
00:14:05.860 Journal criticism
00:14:06.560 saying this,
00:14:08.040 quote,
00:14:08.260 the tariff
00:14:09.020 lobby headed
00:14:09.820 by the
00:14:10.180 globalists
00:14:10.660 and always
00:14:11.280 wrong.
00:14:12.260 Wall Street
00:14:12.600 Journal is
00:14:13.100 working hard
00:14:13.720 to justify
00:14:14.580 countries like
00:14:15.560 Canada,
00:14:16.280 Mexico,
00:14:17.100 China,
00:14:17.640 and too many
00:14:18.120 others to
00:14:18.700 name.
00:14:19.560 Continue the
00:14:20.180 decades-long
00:14:21.320 rip-off of
00:14:22.160 America,
00:14:23.080 both with
00:14:23.460 regard to
00:14:23.960 trade,
00:14:24.840 crime,
00:14:25.540 and poisonous
00:14:26.380 drugs that
00:14:27.260 are allowed to
00:14:27.880 so freely
00:14:28.440 flow into
00:14:29.160 America.
00:14:30.240 China,
00:14:30.640 by the way,
00:14:31.040 is also
00:14:31.380 rejecting Trump's
00:14:32.580 focus on
00:14:33.200 fentanyl,
00:14:33.660 saying,
00:14:33.920 oh,
00:14:34.060 it's not a
00:14:34.480 big deal,
00:14:35.080 calm down.
00:14:36.240 The President
00:14:36.660 of the United
00:14:36.980 States of
00:14:37.420 America,
00:14:37.980 however,
00:14:38.360 is saying,
00:14:38.900 yes,
00:14:39.340 this is a
00:14:39.880 battle worth
00:14:40.400 fighting.
00:14:41.380 Why?
00:14:41.820 Because it's
00:14:42.460 already cost the
00:14:43.160 lives of more
00:14:43.760 than 300,000
00:14:45.020 Americans,
00:14:45.800 and that clearly
00:14:47.240 is something he's
00:14:48.080 willing to fight
00:14:48.820 for.
