Speaker 1 (00:01):
So the Democratic Party as a traditional party is in
shambles right now. But this may actually be by design.
There are a lot of people that are saying that
the Democratic Party has never been this bad off. They
don't know who their leader is, for example, and in theory,
that's bad news. But could all this be done on
(00:25):
purpose and done for a reason that is actually one
that makes a lot of sense. Is the Democratic Party,
which I believe is already dead now, completely taken over
by socialists and Marxist and communists. Is that Democratic Party
ready to have what I would refer to as a
(00:46):
coming out moment to the American people? Are they ready
to say we are socialists, we are communists, we are
no longer democrats. That party is dead. This is what
we are are now. If you look at what AOC
has become, she is a communist leader, Bernie Sanders walking
(01:09):
around with her doing these big events. This is a
guy that is a declared socialist. This is a guy
that went on his honeymoon to Russia, Russia when it
was still hardcore ussr Russia. You look at what he's
doing and I think it's actually very clear his objective,
(01:32):
his goal, his goal, his objective is to say to
all of his Bernie supporters, this is our future. AOC
is the future I'm getting older. In other words, it's
his legacy. Now, if you think about Bernie Sanders, I
(01:52):
actually appreciate him. And let me explain what I mean
by that. Bernie Sanders has been Bernie Sanders a broker
for as long as I can remember. He doesn't lie
to you. He doesn't tell you that he's not a socialist.
He tells you I'm a declared socialist. He's proud of it.
He doesn't try to act like he's some sort of democrat.
(02:15):
He's like, no, no, no, I'm a socialist, like that's who
I am. And I actually appreciate that because I think
there's some real authentic you know, like self awareness. I
don't like being lied to is another way of putting
it by politicians. One of the reasons why I love AOC.
And let me explain this very carefully so you understand
(02:36):
I'm not advocating for it. She believes in is. I
think she is absolutely brilliant for the conservative movement because
she's willing to say out loud what other Democrats are
not willing to say out loud in public. She will
say the crazy socialists and Marxist things. She will come
(02:56):
out and tell you she believes that illegal immigrants should
be put a head of American citizens. Like this is
the part that people need to understand about why I
think they are so valuable, Why I believe that not
only are they so valuable, but they actually are going
to remind the American people that this is where this
(03:20):
party wants to go. They want to take us into
socialism and Marxism and communism. They're not lying about it,
They're not holding back on it. This is truly what
they believe. Now, the other question is is America ready
for this? Why have Democrats for the last I would
argue decade, and I mean this when I say it,
(03:42):
I believe the Democratic Party is in fact dead. Why
is the Democratic Party not told you that they're socialists
and Marxists because and communists? Because they thought the American
people couldn't handle it. They thought the American people just
really honestly couldn't handle and wouldn't elect someone that's like, yes,
(04:04):
I am a socialist, Yes I am a communist, Yes
I am a Marxist. Now there's something else that's interesting
about all of this, and that is the freak out
by the media, because the media is losing their minds
right now, and they're losing their minds because they're ready
for whatever the leadership is going to be of the
(04:24):
Democratic Party to actually be the leadership of the Democratic Party.
CNN this past week is a great example of this.
We're talking about how the Democratic Party is in total disarray.
It's in shocking disarray, and the numbers just clearly show
how bad it's become. Now this is when I say,
(04:48):
before you celebrate it too much, realize what they actually
may be doing here. What I think they're actually doing
here is they're telling you that the Democratic Party is dead.
We are the Communist Party, the Party of AOC, the
party of Bernie Sanders. You look at Dick Durbin, he
said he's not running for reelection. Why is he not
(05:13):
running for reelection? Because I do believe he understands that
this is where the party's going. And he understands even
more than that, he understands that he doesn't want to
be a part of the hardcore socialists or the hardcore
Marxist like that's not what he wants to become. He
(05:36):
would rather leave than be a part of that. I
think he is a true democrat, is a liberal Democrat, yes,
but I don't believe he would consider himself a Marxist
or a socialist or a Commist, and he's sure as
hell would never want at the end of his career,
I think to declare that that's what he is, which
is why you say, Okay, I'm out, I'm willing to
(05:59):
walk away, I'm willing to look the other way. I'm
willing to say I'm going to move on, which brings
me to my other point. Is this a moment that
we could get caught up in to celebrate the demise
the Democratic Party when in reality, what they're doing here
is staging a coup from within the party to then
(06:20):
come out and now the Democratic Party is no longer
the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party is a reinvented socialist
Marxist communist party, which should scare the hell out of everybody.
If we normalize this, if we normalize socialism, and we
normalize communism and Marxism and the Democratic Party disappears again.
(06:42):
You may say this is amazing. It's not. It's actually
scary as hell. Here is one of the lines that
CNN used to describe what's happening within the Democratic Party.
And notice they use the word revolt. Revolt is their keyword.
Why do they say revolt? They say it because maybe
(07:04):
they want the Democratic Party to be dead as well.
Maybe they say, we're all in favor of the Democratic
Party having a massive revolt. We don't like the Democratic Party.
That could be it. It could all actually be, as
I describe it, a fix. It could be a ruse.
(07:26):
We plan this, we wanted this, we decided that this
is what we wanted, and now this is our role
out because we have to, of course be careful.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Yeah, this I think is a revolt, a revolt that
is going on within the Democratic Party right now. Democrats
and their leaders, I mean, take a look nationally, hello
Democrats on dem leaders in Congress, the belief that they
will do the right thing when it comes to the economy.
Last year, at this time, eighty percent believe that the
Democratic leaders in Congress would do the right thing when
it comes.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
To the economy.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
And keep in mind this as Democrats look at where
we are now has been slashed in.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Half to just thirty nine percent, holy thirty nine percent.
What are they telling you. They're telling you that the
Democratic Party needs a makeover. How do you sell a makeover?
You tell them the Democratic Party right now is a disaster,
so therefore you need that makeover. This is what I'm
(08:21):
worried about. While we may have won this election, the
fight to restore our great nation is only beginning, and
now is the time to take a stand, and Patriot
Mobile is leading the charge. It has never been easier
to switch your cell phone than in twenty twenty five.
With technology, you can do it literally over the phone
with a code they send you. It is amazing. But
(08:44):
here's the reason why I'm I use Patriot Mobile now.
One I save money over what I was paying before
with Big Mobile, and two, I'm no longer supporting the
radical left now. I didn't realize until someone told me
just how radical Big Mobile had gotten. Where they are
suporting organizations that pay for abortions or supporting radical democratic
causes and organizations they're helping Democrats get elect it at
(09:07):
the local, state and national level. That is actually why,
over a decade ago Patriot Mobile was started and they
are now America's only Christian conservative wireless provider. Now, let's
talk about coverage. In twenty twenty five, you have zero
problems with coverage anymore, because well, Patriot Mobile uses all
three major networks. What does that mean for you? It
(09:29):
means whatever coverage you're used to now, you're going to
stay exactly the same, or you may even be able
to improve it, but it will not be any issues
when it comes to coverage. In fact, they have a
coverage guarantee. But when you pay your bill, this is
where the magic happens. They take a portion of your
bill every month and they give it back to organizations
that support our first and our second amendments that support
(09:52):
the sanctity of life, that support our veterans, our first responders,
and are wounded warriors. And like I said, switch with
technology now has never been easier. You keep your same
phone you have now, keep your same phone number, and
you can even upgrade to a new phone if you
want to. They have a one hundred percent US based
customer support team to help you find the perfect plan
(10:14):
and to save money. And if you own a business
or a small business, they have a division that just
works on switching multiple lines over easily. So right now,
go to Patriotmobile dot com slash Ferguson or call them
nine to seven to two Patriot. You're going to get
a free month of service with the promo code Ferguson.
So switch to Patriot Mobile and make a difference with
(10:35):
every call you make Patriot Mobile dot com slash Ferguson
or nine to seven to two Patriot. We've got new
pulling numbers that are out and this directly relates to
the one hundred day mark of President Donald Trump's second
term in office. There is some data here that is
(10:58):
concerning There's all some data here that'll make you smile,
and there's also data here that you put in perspective
comparing it to the Democratic Party's polling numbers, and you're
gonna be like, all right, now, I get it. Now,
I understand Donald Trump is still winning, but are tariffs
(11:20):
dampening where he could be when it comes to his
approval rating. Well, let's take a look at these poll numbers. Now,
when near only one hundred days into the Trump administration,
the American people still want deportations at a very high rate.
There's a new CBS pull out and here's the question
that was asked, do you approve or disapprove of the
(11:43):
Trump administration's program to find and deport immigrants. They didn't
even use the word illegals. Okay, they use the word
immigrants who are in the US illegally. I love how
they like, you know, make sure they pc this question
for people. Fifty six percent approve while just forty four
percent disapproved, as a twelve point advantage. So what is
(12:07):
a takeaway from this part of the poll? Number One,
if you're Donald Trump in the White House and his administration,
you should be all over deporting legal immigrants as fast
as you possibly can, because it's very clear there is
a massive mandate for you to do exactly that. If
there's a issue to lead on, is another way of
(12:29):
putting it. This is the issue that I would lead on. Now.
There's also the other part of this story, which is
that Democrats are in disarray right now. It's a very
interesting headline comparing where we are one hundred days in
Democrats Republicans. What are Democrats doing right now? They're using
the F bomb with increased certainty instead of actually giving ideas.
(12:54):
They're increasingly being replaced ideas with just profanity and anger
by Democrats, says. The midterms are just around the corner.
Democratic candidates are dropping f bombs and other expletives in
their ads and in their appearances. The trend, by the way,
is not limited to campaigns. Certain words such as aas
(13:18):
or im pissd off, previously unheard for decades in the Capitol,
are making their way into speeches on the floor of
Congress by lawmakers. One lawmaker, Texas Democrat, Jasmine Crockett, has
drawn extensive media coverage as she forged a reputation using
(13:39):
the kind of language one expects to hear, well if
you're in a gunfight, but that's not exactly what she's in. Instead,
she's just dropping bombs left and right. So you look
at where the Democratic Party is right now, and then
you look at these approval ratings. Now, if we're just say,
(14:00):
and if the tru administration are deciding, like, hey, what
should we be focusing on one hundred days in clearly
the number one issue would be immigration because that's where
they have this big margin. They should be excited. But
that means you've got to look at everything else as well.
So let's talk about some of the other perspective points
here that make me concerned. Donald Trump. ABC News is
reporting today has the lowest one hundred day job approval
(14:23):
rating of any president in the past eighty years. Why
there's a lot of pushback of his policies. By the way,
most of it is coming from the issue of tariffs. Now,
you can also put this in perspective and at an
asterisk next to ABC News's headline, and let me explain
(14:44):
why I'm not as concerned after looking at the data.
The initial headline is concerning right, one hundred day job
approval rating, it's the lowest of any president in the
past eighty years. Well, why is that? Could it be
because this president is a actually taking on the tough issues.
Instead of saying I'm going to punt and kick the
football down the road, I'm going to kick the can
(15:07):
down the road. I'm not going to cover or work
on tough issues early on because there's a lot of
candidates that are wiss. They won't touch things like doing
what Donald Trump's doing right now with tariffs. They it
would be quote too hard, or they would spend too
much political capital where they don't want to see their
approval rating go up or down. Right, They just want
to be where they were when they got into office.
(15:28):
So part of it is actually, I think a good thing.
That means with confirmation that Donald Trump is taking on
the hard issues, the tough issues. Now, the reason why
he has approval rating is lower in the first hundred
days than any other present in the past eighty years
is because of the economic concerns, discontent, the fear of
(15:51):
a recession that coming from ABC News, Washington Posts pull. Now,
here's the perspective ass respect of this that I was
talking about a moment ago. You put all that into
a basket, and then you compare it to the Democratic Party,
and he still beats the Democrats in Congress in terms
(16:12):
of trust to handle the nation's biggest problems. Thirty nine
percent of respondents in the same poll said they approve
of how Trump is handling his job as president. That's
down six points from February. Fifty five percent say they disapprove.
Yet he still beats Democrats in Congress in terms of
who the American people trust to handle our biggest issues. Now,
(16:37):
you go back to the high note here, President Trump's
got a plus twelve in the polling on deporting illegal immigrants.
Why are Democrats in putting all their energy into stopping
the deportations of violent criminal illegal immigrants and or m
asserteen gang members. That is the question that we should
be asking right now. And it's because they actually believe
(17:00):
that these people should stay in America. They hate Americans.
They don't care if you get killed or sexually assaulted
by one of these gang members, because they're all about
bringing in new voters, even if they are violent, murdering
criminals that are in a terrorist organization. They just don't
care about Americans. The second takeaway from this is I
(17:24):
don't think Donald Trump cares about every single poll that
comes out if he believes he's doing the right thing.
With conviction, the President clearly believes is doing the right
thing when it comes to tariffs, and once you start
getting deals announced, you're going to see, I think, a
big pop in the stock market. You're gonna see momentum.
You're gonna see people that are actually get excited. And
I also think these poll numbers will come up. If
(17:46):
you want to know what paralyzes politicians the most, it's
when they see their job approval reading drop. And that's
why many many politicians, whether it's the local level or
the state level, or the national level or the presidency.
For goodness, sakes. They won't take on the third rail issues,
and certainly tariffs is a third rail issued right. They
(18:06):
won't take on reforming Medicare Medicaid, they won't take on
reforming Social Security because they say, we're gonna kick that
can down the road. Let someone else take the hit
in their approval rating. I'm not willing to do it.
And that is what I also think makes Donald Trump
so brilliant. Right now. Donald Trump is saying, I'm willing
to do the hard things that these wisses are not
(18:27):
willing to do. These other wosses in the Democratic are
in the Republican Party and the Democratic Party, these other
wisses of the past, they wouldn't do these things. And
I'm going to do it. And I because the American
people told me to do it. They sent me to
Washington to do it. They sent me to Washington again
to do this. And that's the biggest issue here. So
(18:50):
is it worth it to have a lower approval rating
in the first one hundred days. Hell yeah, if you're
changing America. And I think that's what the President saying
here as well. All Right, I want to get you
an update on another issue that's really important and that
is the issue of tariffs. We're getting some new information
out of the White House and President Donald Trump has
(19:10):
said that his tariff policy will substantially reduce and even
completely eliminate income taxes for some American workers. Quote. When
tariffs cut in, many people's income taxes will be substantially reduced,
maybe even completely eliminated. That is what Trump said on
(19:33):
Sunday on True Social He then went on to say
focus will be on people making less than two hundred
thousand a year. Trump continued, also, massive numbers of jobs
are already being created, with new plans and factories currently
being built or planned. It will be a bonanza for America.
The external revenue service is happening now. Trumps promoted an
(19:58):
external revenue service before, but may be citing the attractive
idea again in the face of continued criticism by detractors
that he has launched a destructive quote trade war that
has obviously had its toll on the US stock market, and,
as Democrats are praying for, will result in higher prices
(20:19):
for consumers. On April the second, Trump imposed those series
of serious tariffs on nations around the world, including a
ten percent tariff on virtually everything coming to the United States.
The tariff on India was said at twenty six percent,
while China has taken the biggest hit with one hundred
and forty five percent levies against China. However, the administration
(20:43):
has walked back many of those tariffs. It has put
a ninety day pause on reciprocal tariffs. They've launched major
negotiations with dozens of countries that are locked in right
now in DC, and they've said that many of these
countries are happy to sign a new deal focusing on
a fair deal for America. And that also means that
(21:05):
China is being in many ways hung out to dry
in recent weeks, by the way, the Wall Street Journal
seems to be hanging on every word by Trump and
the Treasury Secretary Scott Bissin as the dal Jones is
fluctuated all over the place. Now, as long as you
don't sell right, then you haven't lost anything yet, that's
(21:27):
been the message coming from the White House. The terror
policies have also rattled the US bond market, which finances
the nation's debt. Many detractors have said that this has
prompted Trump to dial back his policies, or it could
just be that the President of the United States of America
understands what he's doing right now. But what the President
(21:49):
has made clear is that he believes this is going
to be a bonanza for America. He also believes that
this is going to hurt China more than anyone else.
And China, just so you understand how much they're lying
to you, they lied about COVID and its origins. But
now the Chinese Foreign Ministry is insisting that quote fetanyl
(22:11):
is the US problem, not China, saying this the US,
and the US alone has the responsibility to solve it.
That is what China said a press conference, saying, quote,
despite the goodwill China has shown, the US slap tariffs
on Chinese imports and blames it on fetnyl. This is
bullying through and through and highly damaging to the dialogue
(22:34):
and cooperation on counter narcotics. Now, the US should know
that vilifying others, China says, will not hide it's failed
responsibility to punish those who try to help, will not
solve any problem, and intimidation or threats are certainly not
the right way to engage with China. That's what China
(22:56):
has said again in their propaganda. Gal was respond to
reports about how slow progress and talks between the US
and China officials are curtailing china supply of chemicals for
the deadly fetanyl drug. The US also told Reuters on
Wednesday that the Chinese are quote failing to negotiate in
(23:18):
good faith quote unquote. These officials said China is exchanging
intelligence about traffickers, but its proposals to resolve the FEDINL
crisis have been quote unquote inadequate. Like, here's what you
need to understand about China. They know where the federals
coming from, they know who they know who's creating it,
they know who's making money off of it. They know
who all the traffickers are. This is not being done
(23:40):
in an underworld. In China. The Chinese Communist Party is
making money, make no mistake about it, off of FEEDANL trade.
They are also while China might be quote willing to
share intel about traffickers, it rarely takes serious actions against
the least illicit chemical manufacturers, those that are making these
drugs in China. This is probably because chemicals have also
(24:04):
had quote legitimate uses, and the Chinese government is quote
reluctant to compromise the profits of their huge chemical companies.
So one US official put it this way, start putting
big important people behind bars as a signal to the
whole industry or black market. We just haven't seen that.
(24:27):
In other words, China's lyne. They know they're killing people
in America, they know they're killing people around the world,
and they don't care. But you ought to understand, China
don't even care about their own people. Look at how
they've enslaved their own people with slave labor. Look at
how they've abused children with child labor. China is soulless
when it comes to caring about people. They are a
(24:50):
soulless government. They are a soulless group of individuals. They
don't care who dies in their own country. They don't
care about child labor. They don't care about slave labor,
which they do have in China from other people from
around the world. Let's be very clear about that. They
don't care if you're dying because of fetnyl overdoses. They
(25:10):
don't care if your kids are or your grandkids are.
And that's why the Trump administration is saying, we're not
budgeing either China. You're gonna aggressively prosecute those who produce
and sell fetinyl chemicals, or we're gonna hold you accountable
for it. Now. China in their new offer all right,
(25:30):
is merely offering to quote regulate the chemicals as basically
a little more tightly than they are right now. That's
not good enough for the President, and that's why they're
calling them out. And even this offer that we're hearing
about this weekend seems largely rhetorical to the Trump administration,
(25:51):
who said talk is cheap. China again, never seems to
do anything meaningful to shut down the chemical pipelines because
they're making too much money off it and they don't
care if you're dying because of it. Now. Trump's first
round of twenty percent tariffs on China in February, just
so you know, was presented as punishment for China failing
(26:13):
to take the fetnal crisis seriously enough. China responded by
saying it would do nothing further to quote address the
fetanyl problem until the tariffs were lifted. So again they'll saying, well,
we're going to allow more people to die, and we're
not going to help you guys until you lift our tariffs. Well,
when we didn't have the tariffs arm they were still
killing Americans, So which way is it? American officials also
(26:36):
noted this week that China is a member of the
UN Commission on Narcotic Drugs, which unanimously agreed to place
tighter control on fetnel chemicals at a March twenty twenty
four meeting in Vienna, Austria. China's proposal to regulate more
chemicals are therefore, quote a bad faith offer to do
something that it already pledged to do over a year ago.
(27:00):
White House again calling them out for their line pressed
on the issue. By the way, Chinese officials over the
weekend have been repeating the talking points from the regime
that fetanyl is entirely quote an American problem, even though
no one disputes that most of the chemicals for the
fetanyl is coming directly from communists China. The biggest change
(27:24):
in fetnyl production since the Trump term has been that
China no longer ships the chemicals directly to American drug dealers. Instead,
it ships the chemicals to Mexican cartels, who then manufacture
the fetanyl and smuggle it across the US border. So
now they're in business with the Terrace Narco World in
(27:45):
Mexico and the feedinyl users and traffickers in the USA.
There has been very little reduction in the supply of
the drugs since China promised to crack down on chemical
producers because they're not actually wanting to do it, so
they'll just change how they get it here. They went
into business with the cartels in Mexico and they said,
here you go, We'll give you everything you need. You
guys finish it up. You guys finished the product, and
(28:06):
then you guys take across the board in America and
we also get paid, we also get rich, and a
bunch of people still die in America. That's how evil
the Chinese are. Make sure you share this podcast wherever
you can on social media and I will see you
back here tomorrow.
So the Democratic Party as a traditional party is in
shambles right now. But this may actually be by design.
There are a lot of people that are saying that
the Democratic Party has never been this bad off. They
don't know who their leader is, for example, and in theory,
that's bad news. But could all this be done on
(00:25):
purpose and done for a reason that is actually one
that makes a lot of sense. Is the Democratic Party,
which I believe is already dead now, completely taken over
by socialists and Marxist and communists. Is that Democratic Party
ready to have what I would refer to as a
(00:46):
coming out moment to the American people? Are they ready
to say we are socialists, we are communists, we are
no longer democrats. That party is dead. This is what
we are are now. If you look at what AOC
has become, she is a communist leader, Bernie Sanders walking
(01:09):
around with her doing these big events. This is a
guy that is a declared socialist. This is a guy
that went on his honeymoon to Russia, Russia when it
was still hardcore ussr Russia. You look at what he's
doing and I think it's actually very clear his objective,
(01:32):
his goal, his goal, his objective is to say to
all of his Bernie supporters, this is our future. AOC
is the future I'm getting older. In other words, it's
his legacy. Now, if you think about Bernie Sanders, I
(01:52):
actually appreciate him. And let me explain what I mean
by that. Bernie Sanders has been Bernie Sanders a broker
for as long as I can remember. He doesn't lie
to you. He doesn't tell you that he's not a socialist.
He tells you I'm a declared socialist. He's proud of it.
He doesn't try to act like he's some sort of democrat.
(02:15):
He's like, no, no, no, I'm a socialist, like that's who
I am. And I actually appreciate that because I think
there's some real authentic you know, like self awareness. I
don't like being lied to is another way of putting
it by politicians. One of the reasons why I love AOC.
And let me explain this very carefully so you understand
(02:36):
I'm not advocating for it. She believes in is. I
think she is absolutely brilliant for the conservative movement because
she's willing to say out loud what other Democrats are
not willing to say out loud in public. She will
say the crazy socialists and Marxist things. She will come
(02:56):
out and tell you she believes that illegal immigrants should
be put a head of American citizens. Like this is
the part that people need to understand about why I
think they are so valuable, Why I believe that not
only are they so valuable, but they actually are going
to remind the American people that this is where this
(03:20):
party wants to go. They want to take us into
socialism and Marxism and communism. They're not lying about it,
They're not holding back on it. This is truly what
they believe. Now, the other question is is America ready
for this? Why have Democrats for the last I would
argue decade, and I mean this when I say it,
(03:42):
I believe the Democratic Party is in fact dead. Why
is the Democratic Party not told you that they're socialists
and Marxists because and communists? Because they thought the American
people couldn't handle it. They thought the American people just
really honestly couldn't handle and wouldn't elect someone that's like, yes,
(04:04):
I am a socialist, Yes I am a communist, Yes
I am a Marxist. Now there's something else that's interesting
about all of this, and that is the freak out
by the media, because the media is losing their minds
right now, and they're losing their minds because they're ready
for whatever the leadership is going to be of the
(04:24):
Democratic Party to actually be the leadership of the Democratic Party.
CNN this past week is a great example of this.
We're talking about how the Democratic Party is in total disarray.
It's in shocking disarray, and the numbers just clearly show
how bad it's become. Now this is when I say,
(04:48):
before you celebrate it too much, realize what they actually
may be doing here. What I think they're actually doing
here is they're telling you that the Democratic Party is dead.
We are the Communist Party, the Party of AOC, the
party of Bernie Sanders. You look at Dick Durbin, he
said he's not running for reelection. Why is he not
(05:13):
running for reelection? Because I do believe he understands that
this is where the party's going. And he understands even
more than that, he understands that he doesn't want to
be a part of the hardcore socialists or the hardcore
Marxist like that's not what he wants to become. He
(05:36):
would rather leave than be a part of that. I
think he is a true democrat, is a liberal Democrat, yes,
but I don't believe he would consider himself a Marxist
or a socialist or a Commist, and he's sure as
hell would never want at the end of his career,
I think to declare that that's what he is, which
is why you say, Okay, I'm out, I'm willing to
(05:59):
walk away, I'm willing to look the other way. I'm
willing to say I'm going to move on, which brings
me to my other point. Is this a moment that
we could get caught up in to celebrate the demise
the Democratic Party when in reality, what they're doing here
is staging a coup from within the party to then
(06:20):
come out and now the Democratic Party is no longer
the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party is a reinvented socialist
Marxist communist party, which should scare the hell out of everybody.
If we normalize this, if we normalize socialism, and we
normalize communism and Marxism and the Democratic Party disappears again.
(06:42):
You may say this is amazing. It's not. It's actually
scary as hell. Here is one of the lines that
CNN used to describe what's happening within the Democratic Party.
And notice they use the word revolt. Revolt is their keyword.
Why do they say revolt? They say it because maybe
(07:04):
they want the Democratic Party to be dead as well.
Maybe they say, we're all in favor of the Democratic
Party having a massive revolt. We don't like the Democratic Party.
That could be it. It could all actually be, as
I describe it, a fix. It could be a ruse.
(07:26):
We plan this, we wanted this, we decided that this
is what we wanted, and now this is our role
out because we have to, of course be careful.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Yeah, this I think is a revolt, a revolt that
is going on within the Democratic Party right now. Democrats
and their leaders, I mean, take a look nationally, hello
Democrats on dem leaders in Congress, the belief that they
will do the right thing when it comes to the economy.
Last year, at this time, eighty percent believe that the
Democratic leaders in Congress would do the right thing when
it comes.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
To the economy.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
And keep in mind this as Democrats look at where
we are now has been slashed in.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Half to just thirty nine percent, holy thirty nine percent.
What are they telling you. They're telling you that the
Democratic Party needs a makeover. How do you sell a makeover?
You tell them the Democratic Party right now is a disaster,
so therefore you need that makeover. This is what I'm
(08:21):
worried about. While we may have won this election, the
fight to restore our great nation is only beginning, and
now is the time to take a stand, and Patriot
Mobile is leading the charge. It has never been easier
to switch your cell phone than in twenty twenty five.
With technology, you can do it literally over the phone
with a code they send you. It is amazing. But
(08:44):
here's the reason why I'm I use Patriot Mobile now.
One I save money over what I was paying before
with Big Mobile, and two, I'm no longer supporting the
radical left now. I didn't realize until someone told me
just how radical Big Mobile had gotten. Where they are
suporting organizations that pay for abortions or supporting radical democratic
causes and organizations they're helping Democrats get elect it at
(09:07):
the local, state and national level. That is actually why,
over a decade ago Patriot Mobile was started and they
are now America's only Christian conservative wireless provider. Now, let's
talk about coverage. In twenty twenty five, you have zero
problems with coverage anymore, because well, Patriot Mobile uses all
three major networks. What does that mean for you? It
(09:29):
means whatever coverage you're used to now, you're going to
stay exactly the same, or you may even be able
to improve it, but it will not be any issues
when it comes to coverage. In fact, they have a
coverage guarantee. But when you pay your bill, this is
where the magic happens. They take a portion of your
bill every month and they give it back to organizations
that support our first and our second amendments that support
(09:52):
the sanctity of life, that support our veterans, our first responders,
and are wounded warriors. And like I said, switch with
technology now has never been easier. You keep your same
phone you have now, keep your same phone number, and
you can even upgrade to a new phone if you
want to. They have a one hundred percent US based
customer support team to help you find the perfect plan
(10:14):
and to save money. And if you own a business
or a small business, they have a division that just
works on switching multiple lines over easily. So right now,
go to Patriotmobile dot com slash Ferguson or call them
nine to seven to two Patriot. You're going to get
a free month of service with the promo code Ferguson.
So switch to Patriot Mobile and make a difference with
(10:35):
every call you make Patriot Mobile dot com slash Ferguson
or nine to seven to two Patriot. We've got new
pulling numbers that are out and this directly relates to
the one hundred day mark of President Donald Trump's second
term in office. There is some data here that is
(10:58):
concerning There's all some data here that'll make you smile,
and there's also data here that you put in perspective
comparing it to the Democratic Party's polling numbers, and you're
gonna be like, all right, now, I get it. Now,
I understand Donald Trump is still winning, but are tariffs
(11:20):
dampening where he could be when it comes to his
approval rating. Well, let's take a look at these poll numbers. Now,
when near only one hundred days into the Trump administration,
the American people still want deportations at a very high rate.
There's a new CBS pull out and here's the question
that was asked, do you approve or disapprove of the
(11:43):
Trump administration's program to find and deport immigrants. They didn't
even use the word illegals. Okay, they use the word
immigrants who are in the US illegally. I love how
they like, you know, make sure they pc this question
for people. Fifty six percent approve while just forty four
percent disapproved, as a twelve point advantage. So what is
(12:07):
a takeaway from this part of the poll? Number One,
if you're Donald Trump in the White House and his administration,
you should be all over deporting legal immigrants as fast
as you possibly can, because it's very clear there is
a massive mandate for you to do exactly that. If
there's a issue to lead on, is another way of
(12:29):
putting it. This is the issue that I would lead on. Now.
There's also the other part of this story, which is
that Democrats are in disarray right now. It's a very
interesting headline comparing where we are one hundred days in
Democrats Republicans. What are Democrats doing right now? They're using
the F bomb with increased certainty instead of actually giving ideas.
(12:54):
They're increasingly being replaced ideas with just profanity and anger
by Democrats, says. The midterms are just around the corner.
Democratic candidates are dropping f bombs and other expletives in
their ads and in their appearances. The trend, by the way,
is not limited to campaigns. Certain words such as aas
(13:18):
or im pissd off, previously unheard for decades in the Capitol,
are making their way into speeches on the floor of
Congress by lawmakers. One lawmaker, Texas Democrat, Jasmine Crockett, has
drawn extensive media coverage as she forged a reputation using
(13:39):
the kind of language one expects to hear, well if
you're in a gunfight, but that's not exactly what she's in. Instead,
she's just dropping bombs left and right. So you look
at where the Democratic Party is right now, and then
you look at these approval ratings. Now, if we're just say,
(14:00):
and if the tru administration are deciding, like, hey, what
should we be focusing on one hundred days in clearly
the number one issue would be immigration because that's where
they have this big margin. They should be excited. But
that means you've got to look at everything else as well.
So let's talk about some of the other perspective points
here that make me concerned. Donald Trump. ABC News is
reporting today has the lowest one hundred day job approval
(14:23):
rating of any president in the past eighty years. Why
there's a lot of pushback of his policies. By the way,
most of it is coming from the issue of tariffs. Now,
you can also put this in perspective and at an
asterisk next to ABC News's headline, and let me explain
(14:44):
why I'm not as concerned after looking at the data.
The initial headline is concerning right, one hundred day job
approval rating, it's the lowest of any president in the
past eighty years. Well, why is that? Could it be
because this president is a actually taking on the tough issues.
Instead of saying I'm going to punt and kick the
football down the road, I'm going to kick the can
(15:07):
down the road. I'm not going to cover or work
on tough issues early on because there's a lot of
candidates that are wiss. They won't touch things like doing
what Donald Trump's doing right now with tariffs. They it
would be quote too hard, or they would spend too
much political capital where they don't want to see their
approval rating go up or down. Right, They just want
to be where they were when they got into office.
(15:28):
So part of it is actually, I think a good thing.
That means with confirmation that Donald Trump is taking on
the hard issues, the tough issues. Now, the reason why
he has approval rating is lower in the first hundred
days than any other present in the past eighty years
is because of the economic concerns, discontent, the fear of
(15:51):
a recession that coming from ABC News, Washington Posts pull. Now,
here's the perspective ass respect of this that I was
talking about a moment ago. You put all that into
a basket, and then you compare it to the Democratic Party,
and he still beats the Democrats in Congress in terms
(16:12):
of trust to handle the nation's biggest problems. Thirty nine
percent of respondents in the same poll said they approve
of how Trump is handling his job as president. That's
down six points from February. Fifty five percent say they disapprove.
Yet he still beats Democrats in Congress in terms of
who the American people trust to handle our biggest issues. Now,
(16:37):
you go back to the high note here, President Trump's
got a plus twelve in the polling on deporting illegal immigrants.
Why are Democrats in putting all their energy into stopping
the deportations of violent criminal illegal immigrants and or m
asserteen gang members. That is the question that we should
be asking right now. And it's because they actually believe
(17:00):
that these people should stay in America. They hate Americans.
They don't care if you get killed or sexually assaulted
by one of these gang members, because they're all about
bringing in new voters, even if they are violent, murdering
criminals that are in a terrorist organization. They just don't
care about Americans. The second takeaway from this is I
(17:24):
don't think Donald Trump cares about every single poll that
comes out if he believes he's doing the right thing.
With conviction, the President clearly believes is doing the right
thing when it comes to tariffs, and once you start
getting deals announced, you're going to see, I think, a
big pop in the stock market. You're gonna see momentum.
You're gonna see people that are actually get excited. And
I also think these poll numbers will come up. If
(17:46):
you want to know what paralyzes politicians the most, it's
when they see their job approval reading drop. And that's
why many many politicians, whether it's the local level or
the state level, or the national level or the presidency.
For goodness, sakes. They won't take on the third rail issues,
and certainly tariffs is a third rail issued right. They
(18:06):
won't take on reforming Medicare Medicaid, they won't take on
reforming Social Security because they say, we're gonna kick that
can down the road. Let someone else take the hit
in their approval rating. I'm not willing to do it.
And that is what I also think makes Donald Trump
so brilliant. Right now. Donald Trump is saying, I'm willing
to do the hard things that these wisses are not
(18:27):
willing to do. These other wosses in the Democratic are
in the Republican Party and the Democratic Party, these other
wisses of the past, they wouldn't do these things. And
I'm going to do it. And I because the American
people told me to do it. They sent me to
Washington to do it. They sent me to Washington again
to do this. And that's the biggest issue here. So
(18:50):
is it worth it to have a lower approval rating
in the first one hundred days. Hell yeah, if you're
changing America. And I think that's what the President saying
here as well. All Right, I want to get you
an update on another issue that's really important and that
is the issue of tariffs. We're getting some new information
out of the White House and President Donald Trump has
(19:10):
said that his tariff policy will substantially reduce and even
completely eliminate income taxes for some American workers. Quote. When
tariffs cut in, many people's income taxes will be substantially reduced,
maybe even completely eliminated. That is what Trump said on
(19:33):
Sunday on True Social He then went on to say
focus will be on people making less than two hundred
thousand a year. Trump continued, also, massive numbers of jobs
are already being created, with new plans and factories currently
being built or planned. It will be a bonanza for America.
The external revenue service is happening now. Trumps promoted an
(19:58):
external revenue service before, but may be citing the attractive
idea again in the face of continued criticism by detractors
that he has launched a destructive quote trade war that
has obviously had its toll on the US stock market, and,
as Democrats are praying for, will result in higher prices
(20:19):
for consumers. On April the second, Trump imposed those series
of serious tariffs on nations around the world, including a
ten percent tariff on virtually everything coming to the United States.
The tariff on India was said at twenty six percent,
while China has taken the biggest hit with one hundred
and forty five percent levies against China. However, the administration
(20:43):
has walked back many of those tariffs. It has put
a ninety day pause on reciprocal tariffs. They've launched major
negotiations with dozens of countries that are locked in right
now in DC, and they've said that many of these
countries are happy to sign a new deal focusing on
a fair deal for America. And that also means that
(21:05):
China is being in many ways hung out to dry
in recent weeks, by the way, the Wall Street Journal
seems to be hanging on every word by Trump and
the Treasury Secretary Scott Bissin as the dal Jones is
fluctuated all over the place. Now, as long as you
don't sell right, then you haven't lost anything yet, that's
(21:27):
been the message coming from the White House. The terror
policies have also rattled the US bond market, which finances
the nation's debt. Many detractors have said that this has
prompted Trump to dial back his policies, or it could
just be that the President of the United States of America
understands what he's doing right now. But what the President
(21:49):
has made clear is that he believes this is going
to be a bonanza for America. He also believes that
this is going to hurt China more than anyone else.
And China, just so you understand how much they're lying
to you, they lied about COVID and its origins. But
now the Chinese Foreign Ministry is insisting that quote fetanyl
(22:11):
is the US problem, not China, saying this the US,
and the US alone has the responsibility to solve it.
That is what China said a press conference, saying, quote,
despite the goodwill China has shown, the US slap tariffs
on Chinese imports and blames it on fetnyl. This is
bullying through and through and highly damaging to the dialogue
(22:34):
and cooperation on counter narcotics. Now, the US should know
that vilifying others, China says, will not hide it's failed
responsibility to punish those who try to help, will not
solve any problem, and intimidation or threats are certainly not
the right way to engage with China. That's what China
(22:56):
has said again in their propaganda. Gal was respond to
reports about how slow progress and talks between the US
and China officials are curtailing china supply of chemicals for
the deadly fetanyl drug. The US also told Reuters on
Wednesday that the Chinese are quote failing to negotiate in
(23:18):
good faith quote unquote. These officials said China is exchanging
intelligence about traffickers, but its proposals to resolve the FEDINL
crisis have been quote unquote inadequate. Like, here's what you
need to understand about China. They know where the federals
coming from, they know who they know who's creating it,
they know who's making money off of it. They know
who all the traffickers are. This is not being done
(23:40):
in an underworld. In China. The Chinese Communist Party is
making money, make no mistake about it, off of FEEDANL trade.
They are also while China might be quote willing to
share intel about traffickers, it rarely takes serious actions against
the least illicit chemical manufacturers, those that are making these
drugs in China. This is probably because chemicals have also
(24:04):
had quote legitimate uses, and the Chinese government is quote
reluctant to compromise the profits of their huge chemical companies.
So one US official put it this way, start putting
big important people behind bars as a signal to the
whole industry or black market. We just haven't seen that.
(24:27):
In other words, China's lyne. They know they're killing people
in America, they know they're killing people around the world,
and they don't care. But you ought to understand, China
don't even care about their own people. Look at how
they've enslaved their own people with slave labor. Look at
how they've abused children with child labor. China is soulless
when it comes to caring about people. They are a
(24:50):
soulless government. They are a soulless group of individuals. They
don't care who dies in their own country. They don't
care about child labor. They don't care about slave labor,
which they do have in China from other people from
around the world. Let's be very clear about that. They
don't care if you're dying because of fetnyl overdoses. They
(25:10):
don't care if your kids are or your grandkids are.
And that's why the Trump administration is saying, we're not
budgeing either China. You're gonna aggressively prosecute those who produce
and sell fetinyl chemicals, or we're gonna hold you accountable
for it. Now. China in their new offer all right,
(25:30):
is merely offering to quote regulate the chemicals as basically
a little more tightly than they are right now. That's
not good enough for the President, and that's why they're
calling them out. And even this offer that we're hearing
about this weekend seems largely rhetorical to the Trump administration,
(25:51):
who said talk is cheap. China again, never seems to
do anything meaningful to shut down the chemical pipelines because
they're making too much money off it and they don't
care if you're dying because of it. Now. Trump's first
round of twenty percent tariffs on China in February, just
so you know, was presented as punishment for China failing
(26:13):
to take the fetnal crisis seriously enough. China responded by
saying it would do nothing further to quote address the
fetanyl problem until the tariffs were lifted. So again they'll saying, well,
we're going to allow more people to die, and we're
not going to help you guys until you lift our tariffs. Well,
when we didn't have the tariffs arm they were still
killing Americans, So which way is it? American officials also
(26:36):
noted this week that China is a member of the
UN Commission on Narcotic Drugs, which unanimously agreed to place
tighter control on fetnel chemicals at a March twenty twenty
four meeting in Vienna, Austria. China's proposal to regulate more
chemicals are therefore, quote a bad faith offer to do
something that it already pledged to do over a year ago.
(27:00):
White House again calling them out for their line pressed
on the issue. By the way, Chinese officials over the
weekend have been repeating the talking points from the regime
that fetanyl is entirely quote an American problem, even though
no one disputes that most of the chemicals for the
fetanyl is coming directly from communists China. The biggest change
(27:24):
in fetnyl production since the Trump term has been that
China no longer ships the chemicals directly to American drug dealers. Instead,
it ships the chemicals to Mexican cartels, who then manufacture
the fetanyl and smuggle it across the US border. So
now they're in business with the Terrace Narco World in
(27:45):
Mexico and the feedinyl users and traffickers in the USA.
There has been very little reduction in the supply of
the drugs since China promised to crack down on chemical
producers because they're not actually wanting to do it, so
they'll just change how they get it here. They went
into business with the cartels in Mexico and they said,
here you go, We'll give you everything you need. You
guys finish it up. You guys finished the product, and
(28:06):
then you guys take across the board in America and
we also get paid, we also get rich, and a
bunch of people still die in America. That's how evil
the Chinese are. Make sure you share this podcast wherever
you can on social media and I will see you
back here tomorrow.
