Speaker 1 (00:00):
We've had a great talk with Mexico and we had
President Shinbaum is a woman.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
I like her very much.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
We've had good relationships. But we have to stop fentanyl
from coming in, whether I like somebody or not, and
we have to stop the illegal aliens from coming in.

Speaker 3 (00:19):
I think we've lost two.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
Hundred thousand people on average a year for many years,
much higher than one hundred thousand, could be even closer
to three hundred thousand. And they've agreed to put in
ten thousand soldiers permanently like forever, ten thousand soldiers at
their side of the border and stop fentanyl and illegal
aliens from coming into our country. They have a big

(00:41):
incentive to do.

Speaker 4 (00:42):
This is how the art of the deal is done,
how it is accomplished, and those that can follow along,
which I would include everybody in this audience and most
clear headed people, common sense thinking people, not only across
our country but across the world. They get it. They
get Donald Trump. They understand Donald Trump, the moves on

(01:04):
the chess board that he executes and the series and
progression of those moves and what they lead to.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
The unfortunate thing.

Speaker 4 (01:13):
And this is the kindest assessment I can give for
those that don't understand Donald Trump is It's not just
that they're playing checkers and Trump's playing chess. It's more like,
and you'll hear from Marie Harf, a former Obama administration
advisor who's vapid and completely out of her mind. In

(01:33):
a lot of ways, they're more like playing shoots and
ladders or candy Land. I'm not sure which one, but
it's that level of intellectual understanding, processing of information compared
to the end result of what Trump is accomplishing with
the use of tariff's. Tariffs are a device that President

(01:56):
Trump enjoys wielding and using and yes with allies as
well as adversaries, to get them in line, to show
them we mean business, to use them as leverage. If
you follow, and again I know many of you do,
most of you do, perhaps all of you do. It's
not that Donald Trump wants to implement these tariffs specifically

(02:20):
on Mexico and Canada, with the intention of them staying
in place forever, indefinitely. Now they will be as a technique,
as a tactic driving at a bargain or a deal
that the President wants to arrive at in terms of compromise,
in terms of an understanding and agreement. What other method

(02:44):
could a President Trump or anybody else use as a
cudgel with allies to encourage them to fall in line
and to pull in the same direction. We're not going
to have military action. That's a hot war. That's completely
out of the question, and should be with Mexico or Canada.

(03:07):
We're not even going to do that with China. China
is a geopolitical adversary.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
But they're not.

Speaker 4 (03:13):
It's not at the point where we'd get into a
hot war with China, at least I hope not, or
with any nation on this planet. I do not personally
want a hot war with Russia or anybody else. But
you can use the power that the United States has
as the world's supreme superb and perhaps uniquely only superpower

(03:36):
on the planet, to exert pressure on those who continue
to try to take advantage of us or take us
for granted. And those days are over. President Trump won
for a reason. He won back in twenty sixteen for
a lot of these reasons, but he won again. I
think even more so to double down on this line

(04:00):
of negotiation and pressure, and yeah, sometimes you have to
have uncomfortable conversations with people within your own house, meaning
your own allies, your friends, will get into the specific
aspects of how this has worked before, how it will
work again, and how it is working now in real
time with Canada and Mexico. Now Mexico is the President

(04:23):
stated there starting off the show with that clip from
the Oval Office. They've already folded their cards. They didn't
have a winning hand. Canada does not either, and Justin
Trudeau's already had one phone call with the President and
he's scheduled to have another.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
Right now, President Trump is.

Speaker 4 (04:40):
Welcoming the Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers to the White House.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
They look like they're having a good time.

Speaker 4 (04:46):
The phone call was supposed to have taken place at
three pm Eastern with Trudeau.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
Perhaps it already has.

Speaker 4 (04:50):
We haven't heard the details yet, at least I haven't
in my preparation for this program, or perhaps it's still
to come. But I wouldn't be surprised if by the
close of business today five pm Eastern, we're almost there.
We're at four to ten right now as I'm talking
to you real time that Prime Minister Trueaul will come
to an understanding with Donald Trump it took him a

(05:11):
while to get there. He might not I'll be all
the way there, but I think he's understanding what all
this means for Canada. Would it be tariffs on Canada
in Mexico attacks on American consumers in the short term, Yes,
But as I stated, this was not the intent of
Trump to levy these tariffs without trying to get somewhere else. Again,

(05:35):
there are people who are in the mode and mind
of shoots and ladders or Candyland. Trump's playing chess, and
the further along the path you get to understand him.

Speaker 3 (05:46):
And what he's doing and why he's doing.

Speaker 4 (05:48):
It, the more it will become clear to you that
this sort of strategy works. It works because neither Canada
or Mexico had a winning hand to go all in
against the United States and all of our cachet and
all of our political capital, all of our military capital,
all of our economic capital, and the people.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
Throw around the term trade war.

Speaker 4 (06:11):
It's not a trade war unless this were to go
on on and perpetuity, and there would be a diminishing
effect of how these tariffs would be implemented and how
they would be effective if they were prolonged, and there
was pain and suffering for the American people.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
There would be less.

Speaker 4 (06:28):
Tolerance for it the longer the more time that went by.
This was President Trump in a post on True Social
just earlier today. This morning, I just spoke with President
Claudia Scheinbaum of Mexico. It was a very friendly conversation
wherein she agreed to immediately supply ten thousand Mexican soldiers

(06:52):
on the board of separating Mexico and the United States.
These soldiers would be specifically designated to stop the flow
of fentanyl eagle migrants into our country. We further agreed
to immediately pause the anticipated tariffs for a one month period,
during which we will have negotiations headed by Secretary of
State Marco Rubio Little Marco, Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessant,

(07:17):
and Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnik, and high level representatives
of Mexico. I look forward to participating in those negotiations
with President Shinbaum as we attempt to achieve a deal.
In quotes for some reason between our two countries, it's
already happening.

Speaker 3 (07:37):
Mexico is already.

Speaker 4 (07:40):
Acquiesced to Donald Trump and getting more protection at the border,
something that Joe Biden was afraid to do all along,
the leverage against our allies was viewed as a no
go zone. How else is something going to get done?
You want an ally to comply with something that is
in both of our interests. But they're kind of living

(08:00):
high in the hog. They're skating by with a complete
trade deficit in balance.

Speaker 3 (08:05):
In their favor. What is their motivation to come to
the table. There isn't eddy.

Speaker 4 (08:08):
They want to continue to have that kind of peachy
keen agreement, that plumb deal, and Mexico's already folded their cards.
Like I said, then Donald Trump also put this out
on true soldier. Canada doesn't even allow US banks to
open or do business there.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
What's that all about?

Speaker 4 (08:27):
Many such things, but it's also a drug war and
hundreds of thousands of people have died in the US
from drugs pouring through the borders of Mexico and Canada.
Just spoke to Justin Trudeau will he's speaking to him
again at three pm. There are people that simply don't
understand this, or won't understand this, or don't want to

(08:49):
understand this, or are simpletons and simply simple minds. I
include in that group one of Kelly Cucherra's favorites. Marie
Harf from Fox News.

Speaker 3 (08:59):
Here is her.

Speaker 4 (09:00):
Assessment and analysis of what's going on and why is
it happening.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
They're very different countries.

Speaker 5 (09:04):
It's a little unclear what Trump wants from Canada. We
don't have the fentanyl crisis on the northern border, we
don't have the same immigration crisis. But it's not just
the you know, quote.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
Liberal mainstream media.

Speaker 5 (09:14):
The Wall Street Journal called this the dumbest trade war
in American history for no reason Canada. If we put
these tarifs in place of Canada, house building, because of
home building, because of lumber, cars, oil, the number of
things that will cost more for American citizens because of
this trade war, again for no reason.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
With Canada.

Speaker 3 (09:35):
It's not for no reason.

Speaker 4 (09:37):
There is a fentanyl problem at the northern border, and
the United States has every right to kind of square
this circle when it comes to a Canadian trade deficit
or a problem a deficit when it comes to border enforcement.
And what I don't understand is why Marie Harf chooses

(09:58):
to view this for such a simplistic point of view
as to not understand that now consumer prices short term,
maybe I mean, Chuck Schumer was alluding to this earlier
in this idiotic comment.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
Let's just take Super Bowl Sunday. Okay, it's going to
affect beer.

Speaker 6 (10:16):
Okay, most of it Corona here comes from Mexico. It's
going to affect your block because what is guacamole made
of avocados both from Mexico.

Speaker 3 (10:28):
Okay, he gets a lot of that wrong.

Speaker 4 (10:30):
First of all, only about eighteen percent of our total
beer sales in the United States are foreign imports, and
of those, about eighty percent or so are from Mexico. Therefore,
about fifteen percent overall of American beer sales are from
beers that are made in Mexico. Corona is one of them.
A Modello is another one, and it's a very successful

(10:52):
and popular brand as well. But this is not going
to put a dent in American beer purchases, and if anything,
if that price goes up, people will buy from beer,
probably an American one. Guacam only, I mean, Kelly knows
this is better than anybody. Where else do they grow avocados, Kelly,
other than Mexico California, California, that is her home state.

(11:13):
And if anything, this would promote domestic growing of avocados
and sales that would benefit the state of California rather
than having to rely on Mexico and a lot of
their cheaper labor.

Speaker 3 (11:24):
Perhaps Marie Harf wasn't done.

Speaker 4 (11:26):
Though, as she continues with this isn't the Wall Street
Journal incredible source?

Speaker 5 (11:30):
Donald Trump promised to bring prices down. We saw the
market this morning. They hate these tariffs.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
We see senators like.

Speaker 5 (11:37):
Ron Johnson, a conservative Republican, out there saying tariffs are
taxes on the American people. Chuck Gresley tweeting that he
is pleading with Donald Trump to let things that help
his state be exempted from this. This is stupid economic policy.
It will cost the American taxpayer more every single day
if Donald Trump follows through.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
And it's unclear what he.

Speaker 5 (11:58):
Wants from Canada, Mexico, the border troop, I get what.

Speaker 3 (12:01):
Is he went from Canada?

Speaker 4 (12:02):
Let me help out a little bit here. First of all,
this op ed from John Barlow north of the border.
You might be familiar with this if we date it.

Speaker 3 (12:10):
Back far enough.

Speaker 4 (12:11):
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada has these clean injection sites for
the use of heroin on the streets of Vancouver. Mayor
Michael Hancock, the former mayor of Denver, went there, thought
it was such a great idea.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
He tried to bring that idea back here to Denver,
and even the Denver.

Speaker 4 (12:30):
City Council goes, oh way, we don't want that here,
although there was a recent plan by the city Council
that somehow was vetoed by Mike Johnston trying to narrow
the distance by which clean needles could be exchanged. And
make no mistake, Representative Brandy Bradley's right on this one.

Speaker 3 (12:50):
They're not being exchanged.

Speaker 4 (12:52):
You go there and you get a clean needle, you know,
here's my dirty one. I'll take a clean one in return. No,
the dirty ones end up in parks and playgrounds and
added and skewered all over the streets of Denver.

Speaker 3 (13:03):
We know what happens there.

Speaker 4 (13:04):
You cannot encourage the use of hard drugs on your
city streets. And in this British Columbia plans to give
a safer supply of fentanyl to minors. That's the title
of the op ed north of the border here provincial
governments providing fentanyl to addicts. A handful of activist nurses

(13:27):
arguing banning drug use in parks and playgrounds is a
violation of a drug user's human rights and a federal
government pushing for decriminalization of hard drugs and assisted suicide
for those suffering with mental illness and addiction. Now, Justin
Trudeau was either silent complicit or he was explicitly supportive

(13:49):
of this policy.

Speaker 3 (13:49):
And what does that do?

Speaker 4 (13:51):
It drives the cartels, the traffickers, the dealers to go.
This is a decriminalized zone. Let's make hay while the
sun shining, Bring in the fentanyl, bring in the heroin.
They've decriminalized and under the auspicious guys. If this is
the kindest explanation by the left that oh, we don't
want to harm the reputation of addicts or to shame

(14:14):
them and their addicts, and so we got to help them.
In so doing, they've created a green light district for
hard drugs like fentanyl and heroin that will undoubtedly at
some point get into the hands and more importantly, the
bodies of young people unsuspectingly, and they will die.

Speaker 3 (14:34):
Donald Trump wants to stop that.

Speaker 4 (14:36):
Now. Pierre Poliev, he kind of knee jerk reacted to
this at first, and I was disappointed. Now he's got
to tell his people that they're gonna put Canada first.
He can't just you know, bend the need to Donald Trump.
I understand that, But what he said in this post
initially was off the mark responding to the Trump threat

(14:57):
of tariffs. That is why common sense Conservative condemned President
Trump's massive, unjust and unjustified tariffs on Canada's already weak economy.
Canada is the United States' closest neighbor, gr greatest ally
and best friend. We share the longest undefended border and
fought alongside Americans in two World wars, Korea and Afghanistan,

(15:18):
where one hundred and fifty eight of our brave men
and women died helping the US avenge the nine to
eleven attacks. There is no justification whatsoever for this treatment. Well,
he was kind of on pace and on par with
Justin Trudeau's reaction to this. Who's trying to tug at
our heartstrings? And think about all the history that US
and Canada share and why are we picking on them.

Speaker 7 (15:38):
From the beaches of Normandy to the mountains of the
Korean Peninsula, from the fields of Flanders to the streets
of Kanadahar, we have fought and died alongside you.

Speaker 4 (15:51):
Okay, And he goes on for Hurricane Katrina in nine
to eleven, and I acknowledge all this. I don't want
to downplayer diminish anything that Canada has done their tremendous
ally of ours. Don't give then the right or the
free pass to take advantage of us on trade, or
do not hold up their end of the bargain when
it comes to the border and enforcement on fentanyl and
hard drugs.

Speaker 3 (16:10):
Together, we've built.

Speaker 7 (16:12):
The most successful economic, military, and security partnership the world
has ever seen, a relationship that has been the envy
of the world. Yes, we've had our differences in the past,
but we've always found a way to get past them.
As I've said before, if President Trump wants to usher

(16:33):
in a new golden age for the United States, the
better path is to partner with Canada, not to punish us.

Speaker 3 (16:42):
You need to be a better partner Canada, and then
you won't be punished. See how that works.

Speaker 4 (16:48):
Well, Pierre Paulyev figured it out because now a subsequent post,
and he gave a speech today along these lines too.
Not quite a one to eighty, but it's definitely a
turning of the page, and I think a wake up
call that he's gotten realized if he's going to be
Prime Minister of Canada. Pierre Poliov and he is as
a conservative, he needs to build a bridge with Donald
Trump and figure it out right quick. So he says this, Now,

(17:09):
take back control of the border and save Canadian US trade.
We must one send Canadian forces, troops, helicopters and surveillance
to the border. Now, yes point two, at at least
two thousand border ages and extends CBSA powers along the
entire border, not just crossings. Again, yes point three, install

(17:31):
high powered scanners, border surveillance towers, and truck mounted drone
systems to spot border incursions.

Speaker 3 (17:37):
Pierre, you're on the right track.

Speaker 4 (17:41):
Pierre understands the assignment. Trudeau does not, and we can't
wait for him to be gone. Listen to what Kaylee
mackin and he says in summing this up, because she's
exactly right.

Speaker 8 (17:52):
Look, here is a fact. The so called dumbest trade
war ever just produced the fastest concession in American history.
Challenged anyone to come up with a rebuttal to that,
let me also lay out a rule, a rule that
it's amazing eight years down the road, people haven't learned.
Maybe you don't want to bet against the guy known
for the art of the deal, because we're watching it

(18:12):
come together.

Speaker 3 (18:13):
Now and passed his prologue.

Speaker 8 (18:15):
Here, remember President Trump said, oh, let's think about China tariffs.
The elite went nuts, There's going to be a China
trade war. How dare you?

Speaker 2 (18:22):
How dare you?

Speaker 8 (18:23):
Well, let's bring up a fact CNN headline.

Speaker 4 (18:25):
Here you go.

Speaker 8 (18:26):
Biden finalizes increased to some of Trump's China tariffs. So
that seemed to work. It did, and she continues, Okay,
then comes NATO spending. NATO, increase your fair share, NATO,
how dare you, said the elite, Well, here you go,
NATO allies now spend fifty billion more. And then finally Mexico.
This was twenty nineteen.

Speaker 3 (18:43):
You have this result.

Speaker 8 (18:44):
He threatens tariffs on Amlow. That's Lopez overdoor the president
at the time. Mexico has become Trump's wall. How Amlow
became an immigration enforcer. And in that instance, they said
six thousand troops to the northern border. Now we have
ten thousand troops. And it didn't take Trump three years
this time. It took him three years last time. It
took him three weeks.

Speaker 4 (19:05):
Actually it took him two weeks. Think about that. Donald
Trump has been in office, sworn in as president two
weeks to the day today, and look at all he's
already gotten done. And for another edition of Trump's hot takes,
turning the forty seventh president's epic interactions with the fake

(19:27):
news media. You have a plan to go visit the site.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
I have a plan to visit, not the site, because
what did you tell me?

Speaker 3 (19:35):
What's the sight and the order?

Speaker 1 (19:39):
I don't have a plan to do that, but I
will be meeting with some people that were very badly
hurt with their family member obviously, but I'll be meeting
with some of the families.

Speaker 3 (19:47):
Yeah, yeah, what's more important?

Speaker 4 (19:49):
A photo op at the site on the banks of
the Potomac where the crash happened.

Speaker 3 (19:54):
What is he going to do there?

Speaker 4 (19:55):
You want me to go swimming? He asks, I mean,
it's a legitimate question. We're going to visit the victims,
the survivors, the families of the victims who were killed
in both the plane crash and the helicopter that crashed
into it. We know that Donald Trump cares. We saw
him go visit as a first order of business upon
being sworn in the victims of Hurricane Helene in western

(20:18):
North Carolina.

Speaker 3 (20:19):
Joe Biden never went there.

Speaker 4 (20:21):
Never visited with these people, never made these people feel
like the President of the United States cared about.

Speaker 3 (20:27):
Them and was going to look out for them and
valued them and respected them. Donald Trump did that.

Speaker 4 (20:36):
Donald Trump then went into the lions Den in California
because of the wildfires there. He has nothing to gain,
not really politically by going there, but he went there
because he's the president. He was greeted on the tarmac
by Governor Gavin Newsom, who wanted to cling to that
Trump shine because Trump is winning.

Speaker 3 (20:56):
Trump Ism is winning.

Speaker 4 (21:00):
Approve of Donald Trump by the highest percentage numbers and
margins ever since he's been president, the first.

Speaker 3 (21:06):
Time war this time.

Speaker 4 (21:08):
The Democratic Party has never been further out of favor
in modern American history than it is now. It's an
approval rating of somewhere in the thirties. Governor Gavin Newsom
not popular, might get recalled again. It's making an habit.
And then Karen Bass embarrassed herself on a national stage
during the press conference in which she knew nothing and
Donald Trump kept calling hero ount.

Speaker 3 (21:30):
So Trump when he's asked, you, you want to go
to the plane crash site? What am I going to
do this swim? You want me to do the backstroke?

Speaker 4 (21:36):
What's that going to do? What's that going to prove?
Even pill mar jumps in on this, He's absolutely right.
Paggy Noonan who's come around to some degree, she's kind
of been on that never Trump, you know, establishment Republican.
She was a former speech writer for Ronald Reagan. I
respect her very highly.

Speaker 3 (21:53):
But she's finally getting it. Kind of a theme for
the day.

Speaker 4 (21:56):
She's getting closer to understanding why Donald Trump wins, why
Donald Trump resonates.

Speaker 9 (22:02):
Donald Trump, who also was a reflection of changes I
think within us, a sort of desire for a politics
that's maybe a little rougher and more direct. Yeah, maybe
more cutting and maybe more.

Speaker 2 (22:23):
Yeah, yeah, I get it.

Speaker 7 (22:24):
You know.

Speaker 10 (22:25):
I mean they asked them a question today, and I'm
sure if you're of the type of person who just
always hates the one team and loves what the other
one does, they asked them a question about the crash,
and they said, will you visit the crash site? Now,
every other politician would go of course it was a tragedy,
and he went, it's the water.

Speaker 2 (22:44):
You wanted to.

Speaker 3 (22:45):
Swim that you know.

Speaker 7 (22:47):
Exactly You're exactly right, it's a stupid question, and you got.

Speaker 2 (22:53):
Justice answering your desert. Yeah, matters why they like it.

Speaker 9 (22:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (22:59):
Yeah. And even Bill Maher, who really can't stand President
Trump personally, he gets set. He understands, and he's willing,
at least on some level to call balls and strikes here,
not unlike John Fetterman. I think Fetterman understands. And he
said this what Trump's appeal is to working class Pennsylvanians,
Why Donald Trump won Pennsylvania.

Speaker 3 (23:19):
And Peggy Nowan sums it up this way.

Speaker 9 (23:21):
It's so interesting to me that he meets with the
press all the time.

Speaker 3 (23:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (23:26):
Normally, if you're a member of the press, you're wondering
what's the president really thinking and how's he going to
play it? Well donald Trump, you never wonder that he
will actually tell you what he's thinking and how he
might play it. So it's an interesting It's the positive
side of a mixed bag.

Speaker 4 (23:44):
I guess it's a mixed bag only to the degree
that you're predisposed to be oppositional to Trump. But if
you're watching him again, folks, it's been two weeks, fourteen
days since he was sworn in again, and look at
everything he's gotten. The wheels in motion on sending Marco Rubio,

(24:05):
Secretary of State to Panama, wait for that deal to
come through. We're not going to tolerate China operating a
portion of the Panama Canal that was intended originally for
Panama itself. That's not gonna fly anymore. The old Sheriff's
back in town. This so called trade war with Canada, Mexico, China.

(24:25):
Donald Trump's going to come out on top, and when
he does, those that question him in the short term
are going.

Speaker 3 (24:30):
To be exposed for the fools that they are.

Speaker 4 (24:32):
Let it play out. I know, we live in a
twenty four to seven daily news cycle. Marie Harf just
clutching her pearls. We can't do this, American consumer and
Chuck Schumer doing the same, or this is already over
with Mexico. Do we understand each other. It's already over
with Mexico. They've capitulated to putting ten thousand Mexican troops

(24:54):
on the border. That's what Donald Trump wanted, That's what
President Trump got and he's about to get what he
wants from Canada because he's demanding of our friends that
they be better friends. This getting pushed around and taken
advantage of and taken for granted for all these years.

(25:15):
There is one president and one alone who has stood
up for us on that world stage, and it's Donald Trump.
And he did it with NATO when it really mattered,
when they were tisking him and dismissing him, and the
German contingent was laughing because he was foreshadowing what was
going to happen with energy prices if they were going
to be relying upon Russia. And guess who was right,

(25:38):
Donald Trump guests who understood that in that moment, the
very dearly missed Shinzo Abbi, Prime Minister of Japan. He
got Trump and trump Ism right from the outset, and
Japan benefited from that, and over time, NATO and even
the EU to a degree, will benefit from Donald Trump's

(25:59):
strength projected on the world stage and demonstrated on the
world stage.

Speaker 3 (26:04):
This is not an act. He is not going to blink,
nor should he.

Speaker 4 (26:09):
And the quicker Justin Trudeau realizes that the quickly he
might salvage some portion of his legacy because he's on
the way out. And as I read to you earlier,
Pierre pauliev the Conservative leader who will be the next
Prime Minister of Canada, he's already figured it out. Is
just a matter of time. Let's go to some texts here, Ryan, winning, winning, winning,

(26:29):
I love all this winning. I'll never get tired of
all this winning. I wish US media was not on
the other side and would publish the news of US victories.
Texter her That's why we're here, you and me and
everybody in this listening audience. We are here to counter
all the ridiculous narratives in pear clutching and sky is falling,
chicken little of the mainstream media. That is why we

(26:54):
are here. That is what we are doing five seven
seven three nine Center text along there as well, Schumer
ugg he's no idiot, he's just talking to uninformed voters.
Yeah yeah, And that's another portion of what I try
to accomplish here. Is not that a person tuning in
for the first time. I don't want anyone to just

(27:15):
believe me out of hand or agree with me out
of hand. Do your own homework, do your own research,
fact check me, google it on your own, find your
own independent news sources, be your own best informant, Educate
and arm yourselves with information. Don't just take what the
meatle media pedals to you at face value is fact
or truth.

Speaker 3 (27:36):
It's not.

Speaker 4 (27:37):
And maybe I have an opinion that you disagree with,
and that's fine too. I want to hear about it.
Earlier on Michael Brown Show, says this Texter he talked
about terrorists being used in lieu of income taxes.

Speaker 3 (27:48):
And thought that might be a Trump plan. Well it is.

Speaker 4 (27:51):
I don't know in practice how practical that will be,
how successful that will be, but it is true that
at one time, a little over one hundred years ago,
before Theodore Roosevelt. Unfortunately, and there's a lot of things
I know that Brownie loves about tr as he calls him,
and that I admire about Theodore Roosevelt, but he kind
of set the wheels in motion on the federal income

(28:14):
tax and then he screwed everything up.

Speaker 3 (28:17):
We got to call it what it is. When he
ran on the Bull.

Speaker 4 (28:20):
Moose party ticket as a Progressive Republican, opposing William Howard Taft,
who was not perfect, and they grew to really dislike
each other, but they split the Conservative Republican vote on
the right side, and they allowed Woodrow Wilson to become president,
a two term disaster.

Speaker 3 (28:37):
He who came up with the idea for the League.

Speaker 4 (28:39):
Of Nations that would evolve in the United Nations, the
original globalist. He was a racist. He was a deep
state establishment leftist. He didn't trust voters, he didn't respect
the electorate. He wanted more imperial power in the executive branch.
Woodrow Wilson is unarguably arguably one of the worst presidents

(29:02):
in American history for so many reasons, and he plagued
us for eight years.

Speaker 3 (29:07):
He got us into World War One, which.

Speaker 4 (29:10):
Was very unpopular at the time and was a very
big reason why America was hesitant, understandably to join the
British forces in World War Two, which was a much
more just war and necessary war, and there aren't many
of those.

Speaker 3 (29:24):
World War Two was, but Americans were.

Speaker 4 (29:26):
So stung by the losses of World War One and
the questioning of why do we enter this war in
the first place, And they were legitimate questions at the time,
but it was Woodrow Wilson on his watch that not
only pushed through the federal income tax ultimately in the teens.
It was supposed to be temporary, as a lot of

(29:47):
taxes and fees are, and then they become permanent.

Speaker 3 (29:49):
And here we are.

Speaker 4 (29:50):
Before that, Donald Trump has expressed tremendous admiration for a
great business mind who was President of the United States
and unfortunately was assassinated, and that was William mckinn Trump.
It's very interesting people underestimate Donald Trump's understanding grasp an
appreciation for American history. But he's got very specific presidents

(30:11):
that he admires, and two of them are William McKinley,
and he wants to rename Donali Mount McKinley. I like that.

Speaker 3 (30:18):
And Andrew Jackson. Andrew Jackson, who was.

Speaker 4 (30:20):
This populist Democrat at a time when there wasn't a
lot of that, pushing back against what was originating as
the establishment of the United States, the Colonies, are founding, etc.
The founding Fathers, the Democratic Republicans, the Federalists. And then
out of that came Andrew Jackson, who was a war hero,
and he had his faults too, let's not short sell those.

(30:43):
I'm just saying Donald Trump, I believe he has a
mind to explore what it would look like if we
simply use tariffs as our primary source of income from overseas.
He wants to form the External Revenue Service, which I like.
An ultimate dream would be to abolish the federal income
tax and the IRS itself. But how does that play

(31:03):
out all of this budgetary shortfall that we already have.
Can we make up for that with tariffs? I'm not
enough of an economic expert to profess to know the
answer to that. And then finally this one, Patty says,
justin sounds like a wife beater. Oh wow, ouch, Patty's
coming knives out.

Speaker 3 (31:21):
Look.

Speaker 4 (31:21):
I gave you flowers. I gave you chocolates. Heck, I
gave you a diamond ring. And now you want to
press charges because I hit you, Patty from the top
rope there. I think, justin sounds more just like a
very passive soy latte, beta boy, just everything you don't
want in the leader of a very important country, Canada.

(31:43):
And the only thing that I can say is that, well,
Pierre Poliev, he's not perfect, all right. The Conservatives in Canada,
even by our standards, are not very conservative. But compared
to Trudeau and the socialist movement within that nation. Yes,
Poliev is exactly the elixir, the antidoe the Canada needs
and needs it right now. And I do believe that
Pierre will be a much better partner for the United

(32:06):
States than Trudeau could ever hope to be. And I
don't even know that he hopes to be that good
of a partner. Justin Trudeau a break and we're back
wrapping up our number one more of your text to
five seven seven three nine.

Speaker 3 (32:16):
You're listening to Ryan Shuling Live.

Speaker 4 (32:24):
Ah, Yes, Harlow Guthrie with the City of New Orleans
and we go there now live our own A rod
is reporting from the Super Bowl all this week and
it'll be joining me each day with something new. I
know that everything's going on there and he's just now
getting his credentials, getting settled in a rod.

Speaker 3 (32:41):
Welcome to Ryan Shuling Live. What do you got for us?

Speaker 2 (32:43):
Ryan Sholing Live? What's going on?

Speaker 7 (32:45):
Man?

Speaker 11 (32:46):
Happy to join you, Thanks for having me. Yes, I
have officially landed in the Big Easy.

Speaker 2 (32:50):
It jumped off the plane. Oh what time is it?
About an hour and a half ago or so.

Speaker 11 (32:55):
No, man, I gotta tell you. The vibe here is
immaculate as you would expect. New Ors is up there
with one of the cities. I've hosted this, this obviously,
this monster event over the course of the history of
the NFL, and they clearly.

Speaker 2 (33:07):
Know how to do it.

Speaker 9 (33:08):
Man.

Speaker 2 (33:08):
The second you jump off the plane, there.

Speaker 11 (33:10):
Is just Super Bowl decor absolutely everywhere. It's it's it's
no no guessing absolutely where you have, where you have
just joined.

Speaker 2 (33:18):
So it's it's it's awesome, man.

Speaker 11 (33:20):
So tonight is tonight is opening night, and so I
want to make sure I got here in time. I'm
about to, like you mentioned, I'm about to go jump
over and grab my credential and then head over to
the Caesar Superdome for Opening night tonight. For those that
are new to the Super Bowl, that's obviously when you know,
select a number of players and coaches jump up on
the podium and take all kinds of wild questions from
yours truly and everyone else across the globe, whether it

(33:41):
be what's your favorite candy bar to diving into the
actual game itself. So that's going to be covered all
night long and all of our Bay social channels.

Speaker 8 (33:48):
Man.

Speaker 2 (33:48):
So I'm excited to rate a.

Speaker 4 (33:50):
Rock and roll yeah, not sure if you've been able
to notice yet a rud from your trip from the
airport to the hotel.

Speaker 3 (33:55):
But as you go and cover these events.

Speaker 4 (33:57):
Whether you've noticed an uptick or a very visible security presence.
After what we saw happen sadly on New Year's Eve
that affected the sugar Bowl down there, have you noticed
anything along those lines?

Speaker 11 (34:09):
You know, I haven't, But I was ready for it
because the second I got in the car and let
my Uber driver know where I was going to my hotel,
which is which is downtown in the New Orleans area,
he immediately said, okay, we'll get ready for some road closures.
And honestly, I don't know if he just was a
very experienced driver, which it seemed like he was, but
he avoided most of the closures, avoided.

Speaker 2 (34:25):
Any area where I would seeing any enhanced security.

Speaker 11 (34:27):
I'm going to venture to guess that security obviously is
a big uptake on where where the where the where
the tragedy happened there on Bourbon Street, which is actually
kind of near where I stayed. I was here in November,
uh for for a personal vacation, and that's right where
that happened. So I'll definitely be making a trip to
Bourbon Street tomorrow morning. I expect to see the massive
uptike and security. I expect to see those barriers that

(34:48):
will that will likely be up and and hopefully in
the way of that happening again.

Speaker 2 (34:53):
So so I haven't seen it yet.

Speaker 11 (34:55):
I expected a lot more, but as of right now,
I have not seen that uptick yet.

Speaker 3 (34:59):
Got a minute to go.

Speaker 4 (35:00):
Anthony Rodriguez our guests covering the Super Bowl for KOA.

Speaker 3 (35:03):
They're live in New Orleans. A Rod Is this your
first super Bowl? This is my first? Yeah, I've done.

Speaker 2 (35:09):
I've done a lot of awesome stuff I've covered.

Speaker 11 (35:12):
I've covered March Madness, I've covered the NBA Finals, I've
comently covered the Stanley Cup Final.

Speaker 2 (35:16):
This is a big, big, massive, big gold.

Speaker 11 (35:19):
New Orleans check mark on the bucket list professionally, and
I've I've never covered this before, so I've If anyone
knows me, I'm sure you do show that I am
very detail oriented. So the amount of research I've done
into covering this thing, the experience, and obviously being here
in New Orleans last night Ember really helped me out
and get ready for this thing.

Speaker 2 (35:37):
So I'm excited, big firsts for me and man, I'm
right a rock and roll.

Speaker 3 (35:39):
Very excited for you, Ara. We'll look forward to an
