really inside. This is Bowen's Cars, brought to you by

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Here's your host, Bowtriven.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
All right, good morning everybody. Hope everybody's having a great
start to your weekend or whatever happened, whatever day you
happen to be listening. I sincerely appreciate everybody appreciate I'm
in trouble talking today. I appreciate everybody tuning in it. Uh,
it's my pleasure to get up here and do this.
I like to rant about a lot of the stuff.

(00:58):
People that know me though. I like to talk a lot.
But I hope everybody's having a great weekend. And I
can tell you this that the United States is having.
I don't care what the leftist media says. They continue
to try to paint all of the deals. I'm gonna
talk about that later in the show, but they continue
to try to paint this in a way that just

(01:18):
is not. They don't even live on the same planet
that most of us live on. Anybody with any common
sense can tell that this is America winning. It is not.
We've been taken advantage of for way too long. And
speaking of being taken advantage of, I am one of
the things that truly does concern me. I you know,

(01:41):
there's nothing I can do about it, and I try
not to worry about things that I can't do anything about.
But there are just some things that even though you
can't do anything about them, you'll worry about them, right,
And one of those, for me is the influence that
the Chinese Communist Party has over so many things involved

(02:04):
in the United States, things that we don't even know about, right,
So it would seem to be common sense to me,
just to me my own opinion that if you have
an adversary that has continued to engage in espionage, theft
of trade secrets, trying to lock down the Belton Road initiative,

(02:30):
where they're trying to lock down through debt service, all
of these other poor countries that are full of corruption,
that are easy to lock down because they're full of corruption,
how did China get to be the control seventy five
to eighty percent of the rare earth minerals that we
need for all of the things that keep our economy going.
It happened because there are people in positions of power

(02:52):
that allowed it to happen intentionally to enrich themselves in
an effort to well enriched themselves and their family, and
there's corruptness, as you could possibly be. One of the
things I'm proud of about Trump is you can keep
saying he's this Putin puppet, but the economy in Russia
is one tenth the size of the United States economy.

(03:15):
Even if that, why is he trying to enrich himself
with Putin? That's the stupidest argument I've ever heard, and
I'm going to talk about that later in the show too.
But the Chinese absolutely are doing everything they can to
control and influence everything in the United States, and it's
becoming more apparent that there are people in our imposition

(03:36):
to power in our US government that have allowed it
to happen and keep lelling it to happen. But now
you've got I don't know if you guys have read it,
but recently there was a dual Chinese US citizen, and
I don't understand this dual citizenship thing. But apparently this
guy has now pled guilty to theft of military technology
trade secrets. It's some guy named Chang Wang Chang Wang Gong,

(03:59):
and he's a dual citizen of the United States and China.
He pled guilty to one count of theft of trade secrets.
He was hired by LA Research place. But it's not
just any secrets he stole. It's let's see, yeah, proprietary
military technology related to the development and design of readout
integrated circuit for the purpose of detecting missile launches. Nuclear

(04:22):
missile launches. We know. My question is why are we
continuing to hire these people, knowing without vetting them enough,
knowing that the Chinese Communist Party is doing everything they
can to implant people in our country to continue to
steal our secrets. Microsoft turns out Microsoft now has Chinese

(04:46):
digital escorts are helping maintain the Pentagon's computer systems. Because
here's the quote. Microsoft is using engineers in China to
help maintain the Defense Department's computer systems. What could possibly
go wrong with that? How we know that they have

(05:07):
built most of the cranes in all of our shipyards
around the United States. They know that there's technology implanted
in them. They continue to find technology implanted in solar panels.
They continue to find them implanting them in electrical power
boxes and junction boxes. They know that that. Why are
we continuing to allow them to do all of this?

(05:31):
Knowing they're doing everything they can to destroy us and
become the world's power It Joe Biden and his ilk
allowed a Chinese spy balloon to literally traverse the entire
United States of America from Alaska all the way down,

(05:53):
stop over military installations, take all of dota they wanted,
and didn't do anything about it until all the data
had been retrieved and sent over to China, and then
they finally shot it down when it got out over
South Carolina. But for the ten days we knew it
was there, they let them continue to get all the
data they wanted and lied to the American public about it,

(06:14):
and nobody got in an uproar about it for a
little while. A couple of days, maybe they said something,
but the mainstream media certainly did not make it as
big of a deal as it absolutely was. We know
they're buying land up around all of the various military installations.
Why are we allowing Chinese companies to buy all of
the land they control Smithfield Farms right now, I wouldn't

(06:36):
buy products from Smithfield Farms if it was the last
thing to eat. We allow them to control part of
our food supply, We allow them to control rare earth minerals.
We're allowed. And the only person I think that who
has the guts to stand up to them and say
no more, We're not doing this anymore. And he almost
brought them to their knees with the tariffs. But the
only person I think that has the guts to stand

(06:58):
up and do anything about it is Trump, And they
continue to want to try to label him as some
sort of Putin puppet like that matters. What matters is
what he's doing with China. Putin's not going to get
to us. He's got two great big oceans he'd have
to go across. He's not any threat to us. He's
not any threat to anybody right now except Ukraine. But

(07:18):
China is an absolute threat and nobody in the mainstream
media is talking about it. We have Chinese spies. They
tried to bring in some sort of biological material two
people tried to bring it in. I don't know. It
was like a month ago. That could have destroyed fifty
percent of our crops out there. If they'd have been
able to, would have been successful. We got to do

(07:41):
a better job. We've got to focus on China. China,
China that is absolutely going to be the bane of
our existence if we don't do something to get them
under control quickly. Anyways, this is Bonos Cars Ranch about
a lot of other stuff. We've got to fix this
Chinese problem. Brought to you by Chevrolet Buick GMC of Murphy'sboro,

Speaker 2 (12:08):
Here's your host boat driven.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
All right, Welcome back, everybody. Man. I can't believe it's August.
Kids are getting ready to start going back to school,
and I gotta tell you that just something personally somebody
who's already raised my kids and they're in school, they're
out of school and everything doing they're doing well and
all of that. I kind of like it when the
kids are not in school because the traffic is a

(12:35):
lot lower and uh makes it easier to get around places. Man,
Trying to get out of my neighborhood during a school
week is really difficult sometimes. But anyways, Hey, I started
thinking about this the other day and I was I
had read an article a couple of weeks back, and
it really truly got me started thinking about what is

(12:57):
wrong with cities in the United States, and Nashville's turning
into it. I mean, let's face it, you know that
right now, there's two of the largest twenty cities in
the United States that have Republican mayors Dallas and Fort Worth.
That's the only two, and out of the top one

(13:18):
hundred largest cities in the United States, only twenty five
of them have mayorships that are Republicans. And it's not
just the mayors, I mean overwhelmingly the city councils are
leftist leaning. The however they run their particularly governs city
council sometimes they're county councils. But the cities, I mean,

(13:43):
New York is on the verge of electing a full
blown communist who doesn't and Marxist whose father is a
Marxist professor, and they're okay with that. And I can
tell you for an absolute fact, no matter how many
times they want to sing the say it, capitalism is
the only way we got to where we are in

(14:03):
the United States of America. Socialism doesn't work. And I
don't care if your argument is yes, but it hasn't
been tried this way. That's the stupidest argument I've ever heard.
It's been tried every way. It doesn't work. You have
to reward people for their efforts. That's what creates the incentive.
But right now we've got cities that are in such

(14:26):
urban decline that it's almost scary, and it continues to
just and I'm not sure if it can be saved,
because it seems to me like they're on the path
to self destruction and they don't care. They look at Chicago.
Chicago had Lori Lightfoot as their mayor and she was

(14:46):
an absolute travesty to them and destroyed that city more
than I thought it could be. And then they elected
Brandon Johnson, who is three times worse and told them
what he was going to do. You have education rates
in our nation's largest cities that are absolutely abysmal. We
don't have we have in some cities like Baltimore, nobody

(15:10):
is reading on grade level in the entire school system.
In Chicago, it's thirty three percent of the kids read
or write on grade level and have the math skills
that should be there for grade level thirty three percent,
while spending an enormous amount of money to supposedly educate
our children. And yet everybody in those cities, for the

(15:31):
most part, continues to vote the way that's destroying the cities.
I'll give you a prime example in LA after the
after COVID and the BLM movement and all of that,
and everybody wanted to defund the police, defund the police,
defund the police. Yeah, okay, well, how's that work out

(15:53):
for you? Because here's what happened in LA. They have
gone from let me see if I'm let me try
to get this right, yeah, the right now. In LA,
the cuts to the police department are going to leave
them with just eighty four hundred cops, which is the
lowest number of sworn police officers since nineteen ninety five,

(16:16):
that's thirty years ago. They have the lowest number they've
had since thirty years ago, with a population that has
grown by thirty or forty percent since that time. But
it's not helping them save any money. This is the
stupidity of it. They cut the police and guess what happened.
Crime went up and they spent more money because of

(16:36):
all the overtime. Last year, well, i'm sorry, twenty twenty three,
which is last year that we're any figures available, there
was one detective that made three hundred and twenty four
thousand dollars in just overtime. Right, and before last year,
no LAPD officer I'm reading this from you, but before
last year, no LAPD officer had ever earned more than

(16:58):
two hundred and thirty five thousand dollars in yearly overtime pay.
In twenty twenty four, seven officers did. But here's the
worst part. In twenty twenty they had fourteen nine hundred
and two LAPD employees that includes sworn officers and all
of the civilian staff. They made a total of one
point seventy one billion dollars fourteen nine hundred and two

(17:20):
people made a total of one point seven billion dollars.
Four years later, the department is down to twelve thousand,
six hundred and seventeen employees, mostly are sworn officers, and
it cost them one point seven three billion dollars because
of the overtime. So now what you've done is you
spent more money to get fewer cops, so crime continues

(17:40):
to go up. How is that good for the citizens
of that city? How do they and how do they
not see it? How do they not go, hey, this
is a problem. We keep voting the same way and
we keep getting results that are like that. We're spending
more money for worse results, and nobody goes, hey, stop.
You know why because it's not real money. It's not
coming from them. They're not the actual ones paying it.

(18:02):
They're taking it from you and me. But worse than that,
I'll give you another one. And I talked about this
on the show when it happened, I thought this was
the most idiotic thing I've ever seen. You guys are
absolutely losing your minds. But in California, when they raised
the minimum wage to twenty dollars for fast food workers,

(18:24):
that if you have more than sixty locations nationwide, and
you were located anywhere in California, you had to pay
your fast food workers a minimum wage of twenty dollars
an hour. By the way, if minimum wage worked, why
not make it one hundred dollars an hour. Why might
make it two hundred dollars an hour. If that's what
actually drives economic growth, Why do we stop at twenty

(18:44):
dollars an hour? That makes no sense. But what they
did was they raised it to twenty dollars. And guess
what happened. Lo and behold, there are eighteen thousand fewer
jobs in the fast food industry now than there were
one more month prior to the increase in minimum wage.
Eighteen thousand fewer people now have jobs then did have

(19:07):
jobs because you raise the minimum wage. So what about
all those people? You didn't help anybody. All you did
was make the price of a big Mac go to
twelve dollars. But they continue over and over and over again.
And I'm not even blaming the politicians. At this point,
they tell you who they are. You either ignore them

(19:28):
willfully or you really truly believe them. You're that gullible
that when they tell you, hey, if we raise the
minimum wage, Look what's going to happen, and everybody with
any economic sense whatsoever. And it's amazing to me how
little economic sense the left seems to have. They continue
to try to push this fallacy of socialism is going

(19:49):
to be the way communism. Communism is the way you
guys are out of your mind. You don't have any
idea what that looks like until you go to one
of those places. Who's into you want to know what
socialism looks like, Go to Venezuela. See how it turns
out for you. It it's the most frustrating thing I've

(20:09):
ever seen. It's like trying to talk to a crazy person.
It's like trying to explain to a crazy person that
they're crazy. They don't understand it. It's kind of like
this green boondoggle that everybody on the left seems to

(20:30):
think is going to change the way we do things.
We are using more energy than we've ever used before,
and with AI coming, we will continue to use more
energy than we've ever used. It will continue to grow
at exponential rates. You have no idea the amount of
energy we're going to have to have, and yet they're
trying to do it. With wind and solar and some

(20:51):
sort of renewable resources that don't work, and it's constantly
costing you and me billions and billions billions of dollars.
Joe Biden passed in that in the I don't say
whatever the act was, I can't remember that. One of
the acts that he passed that blew inflation through the roof.

(21:16):
They put ten billion dollars into the US Postal Service
to build two or to build electric vehicles for the
US Postal Service. Yeah, they were gonna go thirty five
thousand battery powered US Postal Service cars. So far they've
spent three billion or four billion of that money and
they built something like ninety two. Somebody got rich off

(21:40):
of that three billion dollars, and they're never going to
be able to build thirty five thousand of those trucks.
Who where'd the money go? And why? Who got it? Who?
And the hunter in the in the Biden family got
rich off of those deals. Somebody did. It wasn't you
and me. But somehow we're gonna we got to foot
the bill. Even if we are thirty six trillion dollars

(22:01):
in debt. We continue to go down the same path
over and over and over again and expect different results.
That's the definition of insanity. And all of you people
out there voting in your cities and wanting to know
why crime is continuing to go up, why education standards
are going down. It's policies. It's always policies. It's never

(22:26):
going to change. There are some laws of the universe.
Gravity is one of them. Can't defy it. All right,
this is Bonos Cars brought by Chevrolet Buy GMC of Murbysborough.
Come on back. After the break.

really inside. This is Boono's Cars, brought to you by

Speaker 2 (25:10):
Here's your host boat driven.

Speaker 3 (25:14):
All right, we'll come back everybody. So, if you didn't
hear the last segment for whatever reason, I was talking
about the consequences of policies and policies that continue to
be try to be shoved down our throats. And if
you live in some of the cities where you vote

(25:34):
for it, and they and I feel for the people
who live in those cities that have common sense. They go, net,
this isn't gonna work and why am I doing this?
But don't have the means to be able to move out, right.
That's that's the killer part. The people that have the
means to move are they're getting out of there. But
there are still some really good people left in these
cities that don't want what's happening to happen, and yet

(25:55):
they have no choice and they don't have the economic
means to actually be able to get out of the
city because the city is taxing them so high, the
states are taxing them so high, and so they don't
have the actual money left over to be able to
move to a state that I don't know, Florida, Tennessee,
Texas that don't have state income taxes and still seem
to make it just fine with surpluses somehow without continuing

(26:16):
to tax for more money from the taxpayer. But one
of those policies that I'm just going to give you
another example of a policy that makes no sense whatsoever.
It's just stupid gun free zones. To me, are one
of the stupidest policies. They act like having gun free

(26:37):
zones are going to stop mad men from killing somebody.
Schools are gun free zones. I understand why you don't
want everybody bring in a gun to school. I get that,
But you know that the killers know nobody's got a gun,
anybody with any sense that it had. Let me say,
this is a different way. The killers know. I can

(27:00):
go into that gun free zone over there, and the
chances of anybody shooting me and stopping me are pretty
small because the people who abide by the law, which
I'm not one of, won't have the guns. So I
have an instinct advantage or a distinct advantage it. If
you take away the idea of deterrence, you change the

(27:24):
risk assessment that happens in the mind of that attacker.
If there is no deterrent, they go ahead and do
what they want to do. So I saw something the
other thing. I'm just going to read it to you
because it made sense to me, given that people are
allowed to carry their permitted concealed handguns in the vast
majority of public places. If these mass public shootings were random,

(27:46):
ninety five percent or higher of these attacks would take
place in areas where permitted concealed handguns were allowed. Instead,
the reverse is true, with ninety four percent of those
attacks taking place where general citizens are banned from having guns.
The killers know most of the time nobody's gonna have
a gun because they're abiding by the law. It's just policies.

(28:10):
It's stupidity. Also, let me move on real quick by now,
everybody's seen the kisscam coverage of the guy that was
the CEO of astronomy I guess whatever that is, and
his head of HR, and they obviously got caught. I

(28:31):
saw the other day where that moron is trying to
sue thinking about or talking about suing cold Play for
putting them up on the kisscam. I got some words
for you, their chief. When you'd got the ticket you
signed off on. You may be on the kiss caam.
You may be on you may be publicly exposed it.
And by the way, if you really think it's Coldplay
that ruined your marriage, you're a moron. You ruined your marriage.

(28:54):
You shouldn't have been having an affair. Houses sat where
his wife like literally the next day, had wiped him
clean from all of her social media posts and gone
back to using her maiden name, and he was gone
like the next day after that happened. I don't blame
her either. You want to talk about being just outed?

(29:17):
What the heck? So the biggest story out there, unless
you're listening to the mainstream media, the biggest story out there,
aside from all the wins that Trump's racking up, or
that you didn't hate the deep state enough, you don't
hate the media enough. They are absolutely still trying to

(29:38):
run cover and acting as if the Russia hoax that
was perpetrated by Obama, Brennan, Clapper, Komy, Susan Rice, and
probably a couple of others is real. They did it
intentionally to launch a soft coup against a duly elected

(29:58):
president of the United States of America. They did it together.
The reports absolutely and thank god, we've got some good
people that aren't at the top of those agencies that
or weren't at the top of those agencies at the time,
that are willing to come forward now and say, hey,
by the way, what we told them is not what
they put in that report. We told them that Russia
did not only didn't have the means, they didn't have

(30:20):
the want to mess the election up. As a matter
of fact, now it's coming out that Russia had dirt
on Hillary when the DNC servers were hacked back before
the twenty sixteenth election, and they all wanted to blame
it on some of I guess they were trying to
blame it on Republicans or somebody that had hacked in.
It turns out it was probably the Russians, because Putin

(30:43):
was in possession of evidence that Hillary was nuts, and
it hit emails that had been sent back and forth
talking about her being heavily sedated on something, but that
she also was prone to fits of rage, anger, and
even cheerfulness every now and then, which I know is

(31:03):
tough to believe that woman could ever be cheerful about anything.
But they had dirt. Not only did they not have
anything on Trump because he was clean, they actually had
the opposite and had dirt on Hillary that he could
have used to manipulate her, or at least so he
thought he being Putin, And so they buried that evidence.

(31:27):
They buried the fact that Putin actually thought it would
behoove him if Hillary got elected and concocted this whole
scheme to make it appear as if Trump was who
they wanted elected, and somehow they worked together with the
Russians who didn't even have the mean all the while
the Chinese are over there going that's the goofiest thing
I've ever heard. I know the Russians didn't do that,

(31:49):
but we had the technological expertise to try to do
it if we wanted to, and we could have hacked
in and done all those things. But they got in
a room in December, one month before he had already
been a and one month before he was going to
be inaugurated, and literally changed the evidence and then lied

(32:09):
about it to Congress. John Brennan went before Congress and
specifically said he did not use the Steele dossier as
part of his intelligence assessment. But all of the other
evidence that she's that Tulcy Gabbart has brought out now
proves exactly the opposite. So if they don't go I

(32:31):
saw Jonathan Turley the other day, who's a lawyer, that
he's pretty cool. I like him a lot, but he
said that Brennan was a thirty point buck waiting out
in the open, that he's going to be an easy
target because we have proof of him lying to Congress
and if you can't be held in for perjury to Congress,
why do we have perjury laws? It absolutely is mind

(32:56):
boggling the amount of evilness that went on in that administration. Consistently,
they lied, they continued to lie, they covered things up
they didn't and then you have these people out there
saying there were no scandals in the Obama administration. I

(33:18):
can name about seven. They just covered them up. And
because the media is complicit, see in my estimation in
this entire thing, While these people are bad actors and
absolutely need to be held accountable for what they've done,
that is the least of which is the problem right now.
The biggest problem I see is people still believe the

(33:40):
mainstream media. They still think they have some credibility left
when they have been proven time and time again. The
Hunter Biden laptop is the same they continued for four
years to tell us the Hunter Biden laptop was likely
Russian disinformation. And the people that signed that letter are
the same people, a number of them are the exact
same people who perpetrated the Russia hoax. And there are

(34:04):
still people out there who believed the Russia hoax. They
still believe Putin had something to do with Trump in
trying to rig the election in twenty sixteen. No matter
how much evidence you put in front of them, they
refused to actually look at it. And now we find
out when it comes to the email investigation, that James

(34:24):
Comy literally sandbag the investigation. There were seven or eight
thumb drives that they had of information about the Hillary
Clinton email scandal, and that there were classified information on
the or classified docs that were going back and forth
on that email server, and that they absolutely deleted them.
They had seven thumb drives that they never opened under

(34:48):
the instructions of Komy. They never even bothered to look
at them to see what information was on there because
it would have incriminated her and they didn't want to
have to use it. So you start an investigation, you
find out there's no not only there is there no

(35:08):
evidence that he's working with Trump, you actually find evidence
that the opposite is true, and that he wants Hillary
to be elected. Then you get the email scandal that
comes out, and they redirect from that by not even
looking at the evidence. And these are the people that
are supposed to be entrusted with the top positions of
some of our most cherished institutions, the things that are

(35:31):
supposed to make us this republic, not democracy, this republic
the best country on earth. Law and order is what
made the United States of America and capitalism the best
country on earth. And yet now you've got so much

(35:53):
distrust in these institutions, and now you showed so much
discontent and division in the United States of America that
it's going to be difficult to recover. You want to
bring down the United States of America. They've done everything
they can and I'm not so sure that some of
these people weren't communist plants trying to enact the forty

(36:15):
five stated goals of communism, because I don't think they
could have done any better if they'd have tried. It
is sickening to me. And the media needs to be
held just as accountable because they're just as complicit in
the entire thing. All Right, This is Bonos Cars, rants

Speaker 2 (40:05):
Here's your host, Boat Driven.

Speaker 3 (40:09):
All right, Welcome back everybody. So I know I had
I was riled up in the last segment talking about
the all the bad things going on at the top levels.
But had I do have a lot of confidence because
I think they've got some really good people in there now.
I really like Dan Bongino a lot, and I think

(40:30):
he's doing a great job in the FBI. Cash Betel
and Tulsey, Gabbert and all of those people. But Bongino
said something the other day that kind of made me
stop and think about it, and he said that the
stuff that he has seen since he's been there in
the last three months, he will never be the same
when he's after what he's seen that those people tried
to do. And it just gives me hope that we

(40:51):
got people in there that are straightforward, straight shooters, not
a bunch of crappy, horrendous scum of the earth people
and going to do the right thing because of honor
and duty and to save the country. And I think
that we've got three and a half more years of
and hopefully beyond that of winning. And I'm going to

(41:15):
talk about the winning here in a second. So the
other day, I am a huge capitalist because I recognize
that capitalism, the rewarding of innovation, is what drove this
country to where it is. It's why every other country
out there is trying to make deals because they want
a piece of the American economy. There's a reason our

(41:36):
economy is a third of the of the It's not
really a third. I think it's twenty five percent of
the entire world's economy. We know what we're doing. But
there was a guy that tweeted out the other day
that I just don't understand how these people don't understand
economics and don't understand real world. Some guy put a
tweet out the other day, so Elon Musk is on

(41:59):
track to become a t brillionaire by twenty twenty seven.
His networth went to over four hundred billion dollars recently
four hundred and five billion, I think they said it was.
And this guy tweets out that Elon Musk is worth
two hundred and twenty seven thousand times the average whatever
the average worker makes in the United States of America.
He doesn't work two hundred and twenty seven thousand times

(42:20):
harder than you do. And I thought, well, that's the
stupidest thing I've ever seen, because it's not about work output,
it's about value brought. And he has absolutely The man
launches rockets into space. The man built the first, truly
the first electric car company. The man has done. He's
got a boring company, he's got AI, he's building robots.

(42:42):
Whether he spent his last dollars that he had on
Tesla putting it in there to make it work you
just because how entitled do you have to be to
think just because somebody has something more than you, you
it's owed to you, you should have more than And
this thing that Ma'm Donnie the guy that's trying to
be elected in New York saying about there should be

(43:04):
no billionaires, why what do you do cut it off
when if the stock market continues to go up. Because,
by the way, let me explain to them to you
about Elon Musk. While he's worth four hundred billion, he's
made a lot of people millionaires just in the stock market,
in the stock of Tesla. Forget all the others, just
in the stock market. And if you don't have any
in there, by the shame on you, because you've got
four h one k opportunities you can. My son is

(43:26):
investing now at ten dollars a day. He said, he
cut out two energy drinks a day and he's putting
ten dollars a day into the stock market. Good for him,
but it can be done. Everybody can. My point is
that Elon has made a bunch of people really really
rich too, not just himself. That's what capitalism can do.

(43:47):
It is free markets are the only way, because when
you control the means of production by government, it's going
to get screwed up every single time. And if there
is one person that knows that better than anybody out there,
it's Donald Trump, and the man you can say all
you want, but he knows how to make a deal.

(44:08):
One of the things I read about him the other
day that was really interesting to me and everybody that's
surrounded by Donald Trump said he is the most positive
thinking person you'll ever see. He always believes he's gonna win.
And winning does not mean somebody loses. It's not a
zero sum game. We can have a win win agreement
when there's negotiations where you get to make some money.

(44:29):
I get to make some money, everybody wins. It makes
a good deal. But not only I said this last
week or two weeks ago. I can't remember that. Should
he be up for the Nobel Peace Prize for bringing
peace to all of the different wars that were going
on there from the Congo the Democratic Republic of Congo
and Rwanda to it was Pakistan and India. We're on

(44:54):
the verge of war, then we had He's done a
good job trying to end the wars. He's about to
smack booting around to get him to come to the
negotiating table with some economic sanctions are going to cripple
the Russian the Russian economy. But he also got Cambodia
and Thailand to agree to a ceasefire less than twenty
four after, because well, twenty four hours after Trump said look,

(45:17):
we're not doing any deals with you, and weren't doing
any economic deals with you at all until you stop fighting,
stop killing each other. All of a sudden, Cambodi and
Thailand went, okay, we'll stop. We need to get some
deals put together. So he used economic might to get
two countries that were at war together to stop being
at war. The man doesn't want anything but everybody to
be prosperous, and it's possible, but somehow the media continue

(45:41):
to try to paint all of the winds in a
negative light. I saw something from Axios the other day
that I thought, you gotta be kidding me. So I'm
going to get into it and say the Axios thing
was about his deal with the European Union and how
it was such a one sided d and like that

(46:02):
was a bad thing, And I thought, well, do you
know why it's one sided, and why they agreed to
it because they have been taking advantage of us forever.
But not only is it not just not one sided.
You forget, for the last eighty years we've been taking
care of all of their security with our military. There's
something to be gained from that. Why do we have

(46:23):
to foot the bill for all of it, morons, when
we've been taking care of all their security? The reason
Putin hasn't invaded, the reason all of these other and
they have no real militaries to defend themselves because they
counted on us. So why shouldn't we get something back
for that? Just like if we're going to keep sending
Ukraine weapons, why shouldn't we get some of their rare
earth minerals. You want us to protect you, there's a
price for that. Chat GPT the other day. Newsweek came

(46:48):
out the other day and they were doing an analysis
of Trump's first six months in office, and they did
they asked chat GPT to rank the accomptoplishments of the
twentieth and twenty first century of US presidents in their
first six months, taking into account the level of support
they enjoyed in Congress, and the model gave Trump an

(47:11):
overall score a very high thanks to legislation like the
one Big Beautiful Bill in the lakeln Riley Acts. So
the analysis found that the first six months of Donald
Trump's second term were the most productive since Franklin D.
Roosevelts in nineteen thirty three, when FDR pushed through fifteen
major new deal laws in the first hundred days. So

(47:32):
other than Franklin D. Roosevelt's first six months, Trump has
had the most productive first six months. Let's face it,
the man works all the time and then he goes
to Scotland and plays one round of golf and everybody
in the now Joe Biden was on vacation forty seven

(47:53):
percent of the time that he was in the presidency.
Forty seven percent of the time he was a president,
he was on vacation. The rest of the time he
was sleeping. And they want to talk about Trump taking
four hours to play a round of golf and act
like it was on the taxpayer's dime. By the way,
the reason he flew to Scotland was not to promote
one of his courses, Gavin Newsom, it was because he

(48:17):
was putting a deal together with the European Union that
turned out to be one big deal. So I don't
know if you paid attention, but he announced two historic
trade deals last week, one with Japan. That when he
announced that, when I went, you got to be kidding me.
That's a heck of a deal, largest trade deal in
the history with Japan. So I heard a quote from

(48:40):
Trump the other day where he said, the tariffs kicked
in better than anybody other than me and a few
other people in the room thought they could thought could happen.
So he's always believed that tariffs were away for us
to put some economic might in there. By the way
the tariffs have brought in I told I said this
last week or the week after or the week before,
the tariffs had brought in almost a hundred billion dollars.
They're expecting them to bring in almost three hundred million

(49:02):
dollars this year. That's three trillion dollars over the next
ten years. That's a significant reduction in debt if we
can continue to do that. And by the way, it's
not raising prices. They're eating it because they've been making
that much money off of the United States for the
last fifty to sixty years. They're willing to give us
these deals because they know they've been screwing us over

(49:23):
for so long. Nobody tried to put them to stop
them from doing it until Trump came along. He's been
talking about it for twenty five years. This isn't the
first time he's talked about this. He's talked about trade
deals and how they could be undone and should be redone.
For the last twenty five years, people just weren't paying
attention to him. But now he knows exactly how to
put these deals together, and he knows exactly where their

(49:45):
pain points are, and he knows how to push them
to make them come to the table and do what
they should be doing. All along, all of the other
feckless presidents out there, including Bush, including Clinton, including Obama,
including Biden, just let them continue to take advantage of us.
Why and every one of them was laughing at us

(50:05):
while we're protecting them, We're doing everything we can, spending
all of our money. They're laughing at us and going,
I can't believe we keep getting these good deals out
of these guys. I can't believe for the last twenty
five thirty years they've never said anything to us about this.
I can't believe nobody's going to stop us. Well, finally
somebody with the kajon said it and walked down there
and said, no more. You want access to this market.

(50:26):
Here's how we're going to play the game. We are
the big dog in this fight, not you guys. So
he announces a deal with Japan. They're going to buy
they're forming a joint venture with Liquid Natural Jazz in Alaska,
and they're going it came I think the deal. They're
opening their markets up to our cars, our agriculture. Those
markets have never been opened to the United States. They

(50:47):
were shut off. They had access to our markets, we
just didn't have access to theirs. But then he got
the koudigraph and he signed a deal with the European
Union that literally will go down in history as maybe
the best deal you've ever made. It is zero exports

(51:09):
or US exports are gonna have zero tariffs for the
first time in history in the European Union. They're going
to invest six hundred billion dollars to and buy a
bunch of our defense equipment. They're going to be buying
their liquid natural gas from US instead of Russia, which
is how Putin has been putting his coffers full and
using it to fund the war in Ukraine, which is

(51:30):
what I've been saying the whole time. Buy the gas
from US, we'll sell it to you, we'll give you
a better deal, and you'll starve him out. Well that's
what Trump did. They're also going to have. So the
total package came in at one point nine trillion dollars
from the European Union. And what does the US have

(51:51):
to concede back to get to Europe Nothing? A reporter
asked Ursula Vonderland or I think that was her name
the other day. So what is the US giving up
to get this kind of a deal, And she literally
couldn't come up with anything. It was funny, kind of
I kind of felt sorry for him, But it should

(52:11):
be the way it is, because we deserve something for
creating the greatest economy on Earth and the greatest military
on earth. We deserve our fair share too. Go America,
Go Donald Trump. All right, that's the end of the show.
This is Bonos Cars, rants about a lot of other stuff,
