Ben (00:00):
More bullshit promises from Trump and his new plan.
(00:03):
Lies, lies, and more lies.
Elly (00:07):
We discuss a few crazy highlights of Trump's plans that
he recently released.
For starters, Trump the terriblewants to seal the border and
stop the migrant invasion.
Ben (00:16):
Surprise, surprise.
Elly (00:19):
My question is, why the hell didn't he do it already?
Ben (00:22):
What, four years wasn't enough?
Elly (00:25):
Well, you know, he did repair existing fences and gates
of less than 500 miles, afraction of which was the wall,
which was around 50 miles.
that was it.
Ben (00:35):
Our border with Mexico is 2000 miles long.
Elly (00:41):
Trump is all sizzle, no steak.
Yep.
And he wants to carry out thebiggest deportation in American
history.
the biggest, the biggest,Nothing like not defining or
(01:02):
quantifying your metrics.
Yeah, it's just big.
It's really big.
It's huge.
The biggest.
It's huge.
Biggest.
What's quantifying?
Ben (01:14):
Trump 2024
Elly (01:14):
no more.
It's huge.
What's quantifying?
Ben (01:18):
What's quantifying?
What's
Elly (01:20):
quantifying?
What's quantifying?
I
Ben (01:22):
got a very big brain.
She's really pretty.
I'm really small.
Hey.
She's really pretty.
Oh my.
Remember when he said
Elly (01:33):
Obama would put people in deportation camps?
Laughs.
Ben (01:42):
He must be in love.
He's got Obama on the brain.
Elly (01:48):
Yeah, he does.
Ben (01:50):
This deportation policy is shadowed in Project 2025.
Elly (01:54):
Yeah, it is.
In addition, deporting millionswill cost the taxpayer billions
to find and ship them all off,if you will.
Millions of immigrants.
Ben (02:04):
Speaking of taxpayers money, building the wall does
nothing besides hiring Trump'sfriends for construction
kickbacks or stock options forhis friends and his family.
Elly (02:17):
Let's make some money.
Oh man.
The building of the wall woulddefinitely cost us trillions.
Ben (02:24):
Yes, it would.
Wait--his
Elly (02:25):
friends?
Ben (02:28):
Laughable.
The point I'm making is thathe'll create a construction
management company and hire hisbuds through a fake bidding
competition and build the walland put some paint on it.
Elly (02:44):
Don't scoff, y'all know it's true.
Listen, Trump already spentbillions, depending on the
source, between 11 and 13billion dollars for the bit of
wall he had taxpayers build.
Ben (02:58):
He went way over budget too.
Mm
Elly (03:00):
hmm.
As we reported in a previousshow, Trump got the taxpayer
money from, wait for it, waitfor it.
Ben (03:09):
Was it Mexico?
Elly (03:12):
No.
The defense budget, homelandsecurity, treasury, and the drug
interdiction program.
Ben (03:20):
Not Mexico.
Mexico.
Mexico.
Elly (03:30):
And he blabbered and is still blabbering about being
military strong and fightingdrug runners.
Ben (03:36):
Yeah, what a joke.
Nothing changed except that onceBiden got into office, he
returned 2
billion dollars to the
U.
S.
military.
Elly (03:44):
Yeah.
Trump's policies are useless astids on a bore hog.
Ben (03:53):
I laughed my ass off when commenting on the
wall.
VP Walz said,
if it's 25 feet, then I'll invest in a 30 foot ladder
factory.
Oh yeah.
I heard that.
precious moments.
Precious
Elly (04:05):
moments.
Hilarious.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Kind of like, uh, he says, noneof your damn business.
That's a
Ben (04:11):
damn
Elly (04:11):
right.
None of your damn business.
Yeah.
Ethan (04:14):
To quote Governor Walz, he lives by the principle in
which he teaches, and that is,"Mind your own damn business."
Another point of Trump's plan,Trump claims to want to make
America affordable again and endinflation.
Ben (04:33):
Like the idiot that put the ridiculous Canadian tariffs on
lumber and skyrocketed the priceof new and existing homes.
Elly (04:40):
Same idiot, different day.
There is more we covered on ourprevious shows, but it's too
much to go into here, but Trumpand project 2025 want the Trump
administration to control notjust most federal agencies, but
the non governmental FederalReserve Bank, too Yeah, Trump
(05:02):
the terrible will be able tomanipulate the interest rates at
his
Ben (05:05):
whim And he's so qualified for it, because he's had what,
he's had six, six bankruptcies?
He's really smart.
He's more than qualified.
Elly (05:12):
Big brain.
Ben (05:13):
What a way to get rich!
Elly (05:16):
They must think we are all tongue slobbering, tail wagging
idiots.
Ben (05:23):
Many of his followers are tongue slobbering, tail wagging
idiots.
Elly (05:31):
Here puppy.
Trump also ejects that he wantsto stop outsourcing and make the
United States a manufacturingsuperpower.
Ben (05:42):
He had four years and did not enact any regulations
punishing multinationalcorporations that outsource.
Elly (05:50):
No, he didn't.
Not even for those companiesthat have fake corporate offices
in foreign countries in aneffort to avoid taxes.
Yes.
Like, Ireland?
Ben (06:02):
Don't forget the pay raise.
Taxpayers gave
Elly (06:06):
the elites, There ya go, I don't want it
Ethan (06:08):
Using tax payer money, Trump's tax cuts gifted the mega
rich, huge corporations and theelites, 2 point 3 trillion
dollars.
Trump said we would get a 4, 000dollar pay increase with his tax
cuts.
Ben (06:26):
I have yet to meet one person that paid less tax.
Myself and everyone I know paidmore.
Elly (06:32):
Ditto.
Remember he reduced big businesstax rates from 35 to 21 percent
without any demand to stay inthe country Build plants hire
more employees pay better wagesand benefits Nada, correct.
Moving along Trump could havegiven job and pay linked
subsidies and tax incentives tocompanies that manufacture here,
(06:55):
expand here, build here, hirehere, increase wages here in the
U.
S.
That's the United States ofAmerica for those of you who
just read us.
I just realized that.
Ben (07:10):
It's us.
I just realized that.
It's us.
It spells us.
Elly (07:14):
but maybe more important, punish those companies with a,
let's say, country abandonmenttax increase, but he didn't
Ben (07:24):
Nor did he enact any regulations for elites investing
in Mexico manufacturing, whichof course lost American jobs.
Elly (07:33):
Over the last 50 years.
Yes.
However, Trump's tax cuts andsubsidies went to corporations
operating outside the U.
S.
Again, big business, tech firms,and social media companies and
producers of oil and gas, ofcourse.
Ben (07:58):
So the tax cuts and subsidies were and are being
pocketed by the uber rich, topexecutives and Wall Street.
Elly (08:06):
In comparison, the Democrats tax cuts assist us,
the people, and tax relief andsubsidies for growth,
development, and building plantsand growing jobs here in the
United States,
Ben (08:18):
Like in Indiana.
Elly (08:20):
Mm hmm.
So, chip, solar, battery, EV,and other industries are as we
speak have been developing,building, expanding, and hiring
here in the United States ofAmerica.
Funny thing is that because ofthe Biden Harrison democratic
plan, 80 percent of these newjobs are going to Americans in
red and purple states becausethat is where the companies are
(08:42):
deciding to move or expand tobecause of the weather or
freeways or, geographiclocations, sometimes labor
costs, whatever, uh, taxincentives, tax incentives Get
this, Georgia.
Of all places, has gained tensof thousands of jobs from the
Democratic Biden Harrispolicies.
Ben (09:05):
and the Republicans there are taking credit for it.
Elly (09:08):
Uneducated sheep, don't support the policies that help
um.
They support their enemy.
The irony.
Yep.
The irony.
No kidding.
I believe a thank you to BidenHarris is an order.
I agree, but it gets worse.
The Republican governors andCongress members are claiming it
was their doing, even thoughthey voted against it.
Ben (09:31):
It's too funny.
Like Trump claiming he'sresponsible For the reduction of
insulin prices.
Elly (09:38):
Liar! Liar! I did that.
Ben (09:42):
Trump claiming he's responsible for veteran
protections too.
Elly (09:47):
Liar! Oh my goodness, goodness, goodness, liar.
Liar! Liar! Remember when Trumpset up that photo op in a small
manufacturing plant?
Ben (09:58):
Yes, I do.
Elly (10:01):
The media swallowed the bait again and put Don the Con
on prime TV.
Again, appearing to the naivesheeple that he had saved
manufacturing in America.
And it was like 50 jobs orsomething.
Sheeple.
Yeah, sheeple.
Yeah, it was like 50 guys orsomething.
Yeah, as a bunch of auto Plantswere being closed at that time.
And a bunch of manufacturing wasgoing to Mexico.
(10:25):
As a matter of fact, Trump lostnearly 3 million jobs, nearly
200, 000 in manufacturing injust four years.
Ben (10:34):
Could you imagine another four?
Elly (10:36):
No.
13, 000 in coal mining jobs.
But Don the Con said he wasgoing to save manufacturing jobs
and coal mining jobs and he isstill saying he's going to save
manufacturing jobs.
Ben (10:49):
What a P.
O.
S.
Elly (10:51):
Mm hmm.
Don the Con's trade deficit wasplus 36 percent and federal debt
held by the public up 50%.
Ben (11:00):
7.
8 trillion.
Uh huh.
Elly (11:02):
Biden, Harris, and the Dems, on the other hand, gained
almost 1 million manufacturingjobs alone as of January 2021 to
January 2024.
Unemployment fell drastically,too.
Ben (11:15):
And millions of Americans gained health care insurance.
Elly (11:18):
Yeah, millions more actually gained health care.
The number of Americans withhealth care insurance decreased
under Trump.
Now how the hell did thathappen, right?
Ben (11:28):
And he didn't get a chance to, tear apart the ACA at that
time.
Elly (11:31):
Yeah.
Mm hmm.
Yeah.
Ben (11:33):
We're working on it.
Elly (11:33):
Yeah.
You'll hear about it
Ben (11:35):
in another week.
We've almost got to puttogether.
Liar, liar.
Trump's on
fire.
Stick a fork in
Elly (11:44):
them.
Uh, here's another one.
Remember when the UAW wasstriking, you remember that?
Ben (11:52):
Yes, I do.
Elly (11:53):
Vice President Kamala Harris picketed with the union,
but Trump spoke in a non unionshop And paid people to hold up
Trump signs.
He went to
Ben (12:03):
a non union shop on purpose.
Elly (12:10):
UAW Union President Sean Fain.
is suing Trump and Musk for antiunion behavior and intimidation
of union workers.
That is just too much.
hoo yah! For more of the stats,check out our other shows at
Scrood, spelled with two O's.
(12:31):
Since the 70's, manufacturinghubs in Mexico have grown
enormous.
places like Baja California,Monterey, Juarez, Chihuahua.
And around 10 more.
Ben (12:44):
Why would a Mexican national move here when the jobs
are there?
social media has really skewedreality
Elly (12:52):
because they know Biden, Harris, and the Democrats are
producing jobs like crazy.
Anyway, corporations loveabandoning Americans and set up
shop in Mexico or, you know,wherever.
Biden slowed the exodus downwith incentives for
manufacturers.
Trump didn't do that.
(13:12):
He just gave the rich andcorporations a huge tax giveaway
paid for by
Ben (13:17):
The American people.
Elly (13:19):
Boo! Boo! Remember when Trump's spokesperson, Sean
Spicer said Mexico will betariffed 20 percent to pay for
the wall.
Remember that?
Ben (13:28):
He's so stupid.
The buyer, the consumer pays forthe tariffs.
Elly (13:34):
He doesn't understand that.
I guess just today he wasblabbering about trying to
educate The uneducated sheeplelistening to him about, what
tariffs do
Ben (13:45):
must have missed the class because he's not up on what
tariffs actually are.
He's a moron.
Elly (13:52):
Yeah.
Trump thought they said trainswhen they were handing out
brains,
Ben (13:56):
small one.
Elly (13:57):
You know, It wouldn't be a tariff at that point anyway, but
a direct payment to the UnitedStates to continue business,
which would piss off Americancompanies in Mexico
Ben (14:10):
and violate trade agreements.
He is so frigin dumb All hat, nocattle.
Cowboy up!
Elly (14:27):
Like I said, Trump's plans and policies are as worthless as
tits on a boar hog say thatagain.
at the risk of sounding like abroken record, we previously
pointed out in another show,that before U.
S.
manufacturing could increase,the United States would have to
(14:49):
rebuild our infrastructure andactually build manufacturing
plants or at least update them,like the manufacturing of
appliances, furniture,electronics, gas burning cars.
Supporting parts plants wouldhave to be updated or built as
well because they too are inmexico.
Mexico.
One lives in la la land.
(15:10):
If they think turning around 40years of Reaganesque policies
can be accomplished in a fewyears, they are either imbeciles
or liars.
Which do you think Trump is?
Ben (15:21):
He was blessed with both.
That's my
Elly (15:24):
boy.
That's my boy.
A little history.
Mexico surpassed China as a topexporter to the US.
Those exports were driven bymanufacturing Which is 40
percent of Mexico's economy.
Ben (15:40):
That's billions.
Yeah,
Elly (15:42):
yeah.
After Trump's USMCA agreement,U.
S.
trade representative, CatherineTai, told CNN amid shifting
geopolitics and competition, U.
S.
and Chinese companies both seepotential in Mexican
manufacturing, low labor costs,geographic proximity to American
(16:03):
markets, and Trump's U.
S.
Mexico, Canada, U.
S.
M.
C.
A.
agreement.
she said all these factorsresulted in the increase in
Mexican manufacturing.
Ben (16:17):
Thanks Donnie.
Elly (16:19):
Hence, Trump's 36 percent trade deficit.
Oh man, more like a big F you.
So terrible Trump's agreementwith our neighbors Contributed
to the increase in manufacturingboom in Mexico.
Ben (16:35):
Don the con just keeps shoveling us more shit.
Elly (16:39):
Mm hmm.
Certainly does., in Fugu's newplan, he also touts he will
defend our freedoms.
Ben (16:44):
we've already done that, dumbass.
Elly (16:48):
Not so fast.
Our freedoms are quickly erodingfor non religious people,
secular people, atheists, oragnostic humans.
Women are in, of course, in thecrosshairs and have been.
People of color too.
Gays, trans, non Christianreligions.
Again, atheists and agnostics,all targets of Trump,
Trumpaholics, MAGA, and Project2025.
Ben (17:12):
Weren't Trump Bibles printed upside down?
Elly (17:21):
moving along.
He mentioned preventing WorldWar III.
Ben (17:27):
It would be World War III a month ago, and before that he
said, if we were not careful,the Biden administration would
get us into World War II.
I remember that.
Elly (17:40):
Oh, I do remember that, yep.
Oh, idiot.
It's just an idiot.
He's a big orange idiot.
He thought they said trains whenthey handed out brains.
Ben (17:56):
And he wanted the short one.
Elly (18:00):
Another of his big brain ideas is to crush cartels and
drugs coming in over the border.
Border wall money!
Ben (18:15):
Fleecing the drug interdiction programs.
Elly (18:18):
He bragged he would strengthen our military.
Border wall money?
Ben (18:25):
Fleecing defense budget and homeland security.
Fleecing defense budget.
Fleecing defense budget andhomeland security.
Fleecing the defense budget,fleecing the defense budget,
Elly (18:36):
fleecing the defense budget,
Ben (18:37):
the defense budget,
Elly (18:38):
Homeland
Ben (18:38):
Security, and Homeland Security.
Elly (18:43):
Trump is now saying nada about ending Social Security and
Medicare, In the past, he andthe Repubs were fighting to
change laws to get rid of themand other entitlements.
They just have to go, he said.
He's been saying that for years.
I know.
Most of the Republicans, too.
The Republicans are seriousabout ending the programs.
(19:04):
But now, Don the Con is sayinghe isn't touching Social
Security or Medicare.
But I remember him talking aboutcutting benefits and raising the
age a few years right away.
Ben (19:16):
Keep shoveling that shit, Connie.
I mean Donnie.
Elly (19:23):
Oh, now he claims he wants to end Social Security taxes.
Ben (19:28):
That would be the end of the program.
the tax remove from your checkpays 90 percent of the program.
Elly (19:35):
Mm hmm.
Like I said, a moron.
Idiot.
Very slippery of you.
Ben (19:39):
Very slippery.
Elly (19:41):
Clarice.
Very
Ben (19:43):
slippery of you, Don John.
Elly (19:45):
Clarice.
The Great
Ben (19:47):
Late Hannibal Lecter.
Elly (19:52):
I can see it now, retirees living in campers, eating ramen
and suffering and dying by thethousands every day from lack of
nutrition and health care.
Ben (20:02):
Did I mention Trump also wants to end the ACA and has
been saying it for years?
Elly (20:08):
Yeah.
Mm hmm.
He wants that gone too.
So he can finally tell himself,I beat Obama.
There's more of his plan.
I'll go quickly.
Cut, Burdomsome.
Regulations.
Again.
He's just gonna cut it.
No metrics, no explanation, noplan.
(20:28):
Just more shit.
Ben (20:31):
Ha.
Uh,
Elly (20:34):
Trump wants to reduce freedoms for women, non
Christians, brown, and blackpeople and cut federal funding
for schools that stray from hispolicies and with Project 2025
agenda, but we're going to haveto unwrap this in another show.
It's just too lengthy anddystopian.
Ben (20:50):
Trump, 1984.
Where have I heard that before?
Elly (21:04):
Before we go, I'll mention his most hypocritical policy of
all.
Drumroll, please.
Don the con.
Wants to secure our elections.
Did he need to get rid of all
Ben (21:18):
his fake electors and all his buddy attorneys?
What an idiot.
Elly (21:25):
Oh, Trump as president told enemy Putin to attack
Hillary and they did.
Ben (21:30):
Don't forget his alternate
Elly (21:32):
electors again.
Boom.
Trump thought he said
alternate Lecters
Ben (21:37):
I'll help you catch them Don John.
Clarice
Elly (21:47):

illegally were inspecting thevoting machines, Trump supporter

The sheriff, Dar Leaf,subsequently posted many of the
documents online, doxingDominion staffers by publicly
disclosing their names, emailaddresses, and cell phone

More bullshit promises from Trump and his new plan.
(00:03):
Lies, lies, and more lies.
Elly (00:07):
We discuss a few crazy highlights of Trump's plans that
he recently released.
For starters, Trump the terriblewants to seal the border and
stop the migrant invasion.
Ben (00:16):
Surprise, surprise.
Elly (00:19):
My question is, why the hell didn't he do it already?
Ben (00:22):
What, four years wasn't enough?
Elly (00:25):
Well, you know, he did repair existing fences and gates
of less than 500 miles, afraction of which was the wall,
which was around 50 miles.
that was it.
Ben (00:35):
Our border with Mexico is 2000 miles long.
Elly (00:41):
Trump is all sizzle, no steak.
Yep.
And he wants to carry out thebiggest deportation in American
history.
the biggest, the biggest,Nothing like not defining or
(01:02):
quantifying your metrics.
Yeah, it's just big.
It's really big.
It's huge.
The biggest.
It's huge.
Biggest.
What's quantifying?
Ben (01:14):
Trump 2024
Elly (01:14):
no more.
It's huge.
What's quantifying?
Ben (01:18):
What's quantifying?
What's
Elly (01:20):
quantifying?
What's quantifying?
I
Ben (01:22):
got a very big brain.
She's really pretty.
I'm really small.
Hey.
She's really pretty.
Oh my.
Remember when he said
Elly (01:33):
Obama would put people in deportation camps?
Laughs.
Ben (01:42):
He must be in love.
He's got Obama on the brain.
Elly (01:48):
Yeah, he does.
Ben (01:50):
This deportation policy is shadowed in Project 2025.
Elly (01:54):
Yeah, it is.
In addition, deporting millionswill cost the taxpayer billions
to find and ship them all off,if you will.
Millions of immigrants.
Ben (02:04):
Speaking of taxpayers money, building the wall does
nothing besides hiring Trump'sfriends for construction
kickbacks or stock options forhis friends and his family.
Elly (02:17):
Let's make some money.
Oh man.
The building of the wall woulddefinitely cost us trillions.
Ben (02:24):
Yes, it would.
Wait--his
Elly (02:25):
friends?
Ben (02:28):
Laughable.
The point I'm making is thathe'll create a construction
management company and hire hisbuds through a fake bidding
competition and build the walland put some paint on it.
Elly (02:44):
Don't scoff, y'all know it's true.
Listen, Trump already spentbillions, depending on the
source, between 11 and 13billion dollars for the bit of
wall he had taxpayers build.
Ben (02:58):
He went way over budget too.
Mm
Elly (03:00):
hmm.
As we reported in a previousshow, Trump got the taxpayer
money from, wait for it, waitfor it.
Ben (03:09):
Was it Mexico?
Elly (03:12):
No.
The defense budget, homelandsecurity, treasury, and the drug
interdiction program.
Ben (03:20):
Not Mexico.
Mexico.
Mexico.
Elly (03:30):
And he blabbered and is still blabbering about being
military strong and fightingdrug runners.
Ben (03:36):
Yeah, what a joke.
Nothing changed except that onceBiden got into office, he
returned 2
billion dollars to the
U.
S.
military.
Elly (03:44):
Yeah.
Trump's policies are useless astids on a bore hog.
Ben (03:53):
I laughed my ass off when commenting on the
wall.
VP Walz said,
if it's 25 feet, then I'll invest in a 30 foot ladder
factory.
Oh yeah.
I heard that.
precious moments.
Precious
Elly (04:05):
moments.
Hilarious.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Kind of like, uh, he says, noneof your damn business.
That's a
Ben (04:11):
damn
Elly (04:11):
right.
None of your damn business.
Yeah.
Ethan (04:14):
To quote Governor Walz, he lives by the principle in
which he teaches, and that is,"Mind your own damn business."
Another point of Trump's plan,Trump claims to want to make
America affordable again and endinflation.
Ben (04:33):
Like the idiot that put the ridiculous Canadian tariffs on
lumber and skyrocketed the priceof new and existing homes.
Elly (04:40):
Same idiot, different day.
There is more we covered on ourprevious shows, but it's too
much to go into here, but Trumpand project 2025 want the Trump
administration to control notjust most federal agencies, but
the non governmental FederalReserve Bank, too Yeah, Trump
(05:02):
the terrible will be able tomanipulate the interest rates at
his
Ben (05:05):
whim And he's so qualified for it, because he's had what,
he's had six, six bankruptcies?
He's really smart.
He's more than qualified.
Elly (05:12):
Big brain.
Ben (05:13):
What a way to get rich!
Elly (05:16):
They must think we are all tongue slobbering, tail wagging
idiots.
Ben (05:23):
Many of his followers are tongue slobbering, tail wagging
idiots.
Elly (05:31):
Here puppy.
Trump also ejects that he wantsto stop outsourcing and make the
United States a manufacturingsuperpower.
Ben (05:42):
He had four years and did not enact any regulations
punishing multinationalcorporations that outsource.
Elly (05:50):
No, he didn't.
Not even for those companiesthat have fake corporate offices
in foreign countries in aneffort to avoid taxes.
Yes.
Like, Ireland?
Ben (06:02):
Don't forget the pay raise.
Taxpayers gave
Elly (06:06):
the elites, There ya go, I don't want it
Ethan (06:08):
Using tax payer money, Trump's tax cuts gifted the mega
rich, huge corporations and theelites, 2 point 3 trillion
dollars.
Trump said we would get a 4, 000dollar pay increase with his tax
cuts.
Ben (06:26):
I have yet to meet one person that paid less tax.
Myself and everyone I know paidmore.
Elly (06:32):
Ditto.
Remember he reduced big businesstax rates from 35 to 21 percent
without any demand to stay inthe country Build plants hire
more employees pay better wagesand benefits Nada, correct.
Moving along Trump could havegiven job and pay linked
subsidies and tax incentives tocompanies that manufacture here,
(06:55):
expand here, build here, hirehere, increase wages here in the
U.
S.
That's the United States ofAmerica for those of you who
just read us.
I just realized that.
Ben (07:10):
It's us.
I just realized that.
It's us.
It spells us.
Elly (07:14):
but maybe more important, punish those companies with a,
let's say, country abandonmenttax increase, but he didn't
Ben (07:24):
Nor did he enact any regulations for elites investing
in Mexico manufacturing, whichof course lost American jobs.
Elly (07:33):
Over the last 50 years.
Yes.
However, Trump's tax cuts andsubsidies went to corporations
operating outside the U.
S.
Again, big business, tech firms,and social media companies and
producers of oil and gas, ofcourse.
Ben (07:58):
So the tax cuts and subsidies were and are being
pocketed by the uber rich, topexecutives and Wall Street.
Elly (08:06):
In comparison, the Democrats tax cuts assist us,
the people, and tax relief andsubsidies for growth,
development, and building plantsand growing jobs here in the
United States,
Ben (08:18):
Like in Indiana.
Elly (08:20):
Mm hmm.
So, chip, solar, battery, EV,and other industries are as we
speak have been developing,building, expanding, and hiring
here in the United States ofAmerica.
Funny thing is that because ofthe Biden Harrison democratic
plan, 80 percent of these newjobs are going to Americans in
red and purple states becausethat is where the companies are
(08:42):
deciding to move or expand tobecause of the weather or
freeways or, geographiclocations, sometimes labor
costs, whatever, uh, taxincentives, tax incentives Get
this, Georgia.
Of all places, has gained tensof thousands of jobs from the
Democratic Biden Harrispolicies.
Ben (09:05):
and the Republicans there are taking credit for it.
Elly (09:08):
Uneducated sheep, don't support the policies that help
um.
They support their enemy.
The irony.
Yep.
The irony.
No kidding.
I believe a thank you to BidenHarris is an order.
I agree, but it gets worse.
The Republican governors andCongress members are claiming it
was their doing, even thoughthey voted against it.
Ben (09:31):
It's too funny.
Like Trump claiming he'sresponsible For the reduction of
insulin prices.
Elly (09:38):
Liar! Liar! I did that.
Ben (09:42):
Trump claiming he's responsible for veteran
protections too.
Elly (09:47):
Liar! Oh my goodness, goodness, goodness, liar.
Liar! Liar! Remember when Trumpset up that photo op in a small
manufacturing plant?
Ben (09:58):
Yes, I do.
Elly (10:01):
The media swallowed the bait again and put Don the Con
on prime TV.
Again, appearing to the naivesheeple that he had saved
manufacturing in America.
And it was like 50 jobs orsomething.
Sheeple.
Yeah, sheeple.
Yeah, it was like 50 guys orsomething.
Yeah, as a bunch of auto Plantswere being closed at that time.
And a bunch of manufacturing wasgoing to Mexico.
(10:25):
As a matter of fact, Trump lostnearly 3 million jobs, nearly
200, 000 in manufacturing injust four years.
Ben (10:34):
Could you imagine another four?
Elly (10:36):
No.
13, 000 in coal mining jobs.
But Don the Con said he wasgoing to save manufacturing jobs
and coal mining jobs and he isstill saying he's going to save
manufacturing jobs.
Ben (10:49):
What a P.
O.
S.
Elly (10:51):
Mm hmm.
Don the Con's trade deficit wasplus 36 percent and federal debt
held by the public up 50%.
Ben (11:00):
7.
8 trillion.
Uh huh.
Elly (11:02):
Biden, Harris, and the Dems, on the other hand, gained
almost 1 million manufacturingjobs alone as of January 2021 to
January 2024.
Unemployment fell drastically,too.
Ben (11:15):
And millions of Americans gained health care insurance.
Elly (11:18):
Yeah, millions more actually gained health care.
The number of Americans withhealth care insurance decreased
under Trump.
Now how the hell did thathappen, right?
Ben (11:28):
And he didn't get a chance to, tear apart the ACA at that
time.
Elly (11:31):
Yeah.
Mm hmm.
Yeah.
Ben (11:33):
We're working on it.
Elly (11:33):
Yeah.
You'll hear about it
Ben (11:35):
in another week.
We've almost got to puttogether.
Liar, liar.
Trump's on
fire.
Stick a fork in
Elly (11:44):
them.
Uh, here's another one.
Remember when the UAW wasstriking, you remember that?
Ben (11:52):
Yes, I do.
Elly (11:53):
Vice President Kamala Harris picketed with the union,
but Trump spoke in a non unionshop And paid people to hold up
Trump signs.
He went to
Ben (12:03):
a non union shop on purpose.
Elly (12:10):
UAW Union President Sean Fain.
is suing Trump and Musk for antiunion behavior and intimidation
of union workers.
That is just too much.
hoo yah! For more of the stats,check out our other shows at
Scrood, spelled with two O's.
(12:31):
Since the 70's, manufacturinghubs in Mexico have grown
enormous.
places like Baja California,Monterey, Juarez, Chihuahua.
And around 10 more.
Ben (12:44):
Why would a Mexican national move here when the jobs
are there?
social media has really skewedreality
Elly (12:52):
because they know Biden, Harris, and the Democrats are
producing jobs like crazy.
Anyway, corporations loveabandoning Americans and set up
shop in Mexico or, you know,wherever.
Biden slowed the exodus downwith incentives for
manufacturers.
Trump didn't do that.
(13:12):
He just gave the rich andcorporations a huge tax giveaway
paid for by
Ben (13:17):
The American people.
Elly (13:19):
Boo! Boo! Remember when Trump's spokesperson, Sean
Spicer said Mexico will betariffed 20 percent to pay for
the wall.
Remember that?
Ben (13:28):
He's so stupid.
The buyer, the consumer pays forthe tariffs.
Elly (13:34):
He doesn't understand that.
I guess just today he wasblabbering about trying to
educate The uneducated sheeplelistening to him about, what
tariffs do
Ben (13:45):
must have missed the class because he's not up on what
tariffs actually are.
He's a moron.
Elly (13:52):
Yeah.
Trump thought they said trainswhen they were handing out
brains,
Ben (13:56):
small one.
Elly (13:57):
You know, It wouldn't be a tariff at that point anyway, but
a direct payment to the UnitedStates to continue business,
which would piss off Americancompanies in Mexico
Ben (14:10):
and violate trade agreements.
He is so frigin dumb All hat, nocattle.
Cowboy up!
Elly (14:27):
Like I said, Trump's plans and policies are as worthless as
tits on a boar hog say thatagain.
at the risk of sounding like abroken record, we previously
pointed out in another show,that before U.
S.
manufacturing could increase,the United States would have to
(14:49):
rebuild our infrastructure andactually build manufacturing
plants or at least update them,like the manufacturing of
appliances, furniture,electronics, gas burning cars.
Supporting parts plants wouldhave to be updated or built as
well because they too are inmexico.
Mexico.
One lives in la la land.
(15:10):
If they think turning around 40years of Reaganesque policies
can be accomplished in a fewyears, they are either imbeciles
or liars.
Which do you think Trump is?
Ben (15:21):
He was blessed with both.
That's my
Elly (15:24):
boy.
That's my boy.
A little history.
Mexico surpassed China as a topexporter to the US.
Those exports were driven bymanufacturing Which is 40
percent of Mexico's economy.
Ben (15:40):
That's billions.
Yeah,
Elly (15:42):
yeah.
After Trump's USMCA agreement,U.
S.
trade representative, CatherineTai, told CNN amid shifting
geopolitics and competition, U.
S.
and Chinese companies both seepotential in Mexican
manufacturing, low labor costs,geographic proximity to American
(16:03):
markets, and Trump's U.
S.
Mexico, Canada, U.
S.
M.
C.
A.
agreement.
she said all these factorsresulted in the increase in
Mexican manufacturing.
Ben (16:17):
Thanks Donnie.
Elly (16:19):
Hence, Trump's 36 percent trade deficit.
Oh man, more like a big F you.
So terrible Trump's agreementwith our neighbors Contributed
to the increase in manufacturingboom in Mexico.
Ben (16:35):
Don the con just keeps shoveling us more shit.
Elly (16:39):
Mm hmm.
Certainly does., in Fugu's newplan, he also touts he will
defend our freedoms.
Ben (16:44):
we've already done that, dumbass.
Elly (16:48):
Not so fast.
Our freedoms are quickly erodingfor non religious people,
secular people, atheists, oragnostic humans.
Women are in, of course, in thecrosshairs and have been.
People of color too.
Gays, trans, non Christianreligions.
Again, atheists and agnostics,all targets of Trump,
Trumpaholics, MAGA, and Project2025.
Ben (17:12):
Weren't Trump Bibles printed upside down?
Elly (17:21):
moving along.
He mentioned preventing WorldWar III.
Ben (17:27):
It would be World War III a month ago, and before that he
said, if we were not careful,the Biden administration would
get us into World War II.
I remember that.
Elly (17:40):
Oh, I do remember that, yep.
Oh, idiot.
It's just an idiot.
He's a big orange idiot.
He thought they said trains whenthey handed out brains.
Ben (17:56):
And he wanted the short one.
Elly (18:00):
Another of his big brain ideas is to crush cartels and
drugs coming in over the border.
Border wall money!
Ben (18:15):
Fleecing the drug interdiction programs.
Elly (18:18):
He bragged he would strengthen our military.
Border wall money?
Ben (18:25):
Fleecing defense budget and homeland security.
Fleecing defense budget.
Fleecing defense budget andhomeland security.
Fleecing the defense budget,fleecing the defense budget,
Elly (18:36):
fleecing the defense budget,
Ben (18:37):
the defense budget,
Elly (18:38):
Homeland
Ben (18:38):
Security, and Homeland Security.
Elly (18:43):
Trump is now saying nada about ending Social Security and
Medicare, In the past, he andthe Repubs were fighting to
change laws to get rid of themand other entitlements.
They just have to go, he said.
He's been saying that for years.
I know.
Most of the Republicans, too.
The Republicans are seriousabout ending the programs.
(19:04):
But now, Don the Con is sayinghe isn't touching Social
Security or Medicare.
But I remember him talking aboutcutting benefits and raising the
age a few years right away.
Ben (19:16):
Keep shoveling that shit, Connie.
I mean Donnie.
Elly (19:23):
Oh, now he claims he wants to end Social Security taxes.
Ben (19:28):
That would be the end of the program.
the tax remove from your checkpays 90 percent of the program.
Elly (19:35):
Mm hmm.
Like I said, a moron.
Idiot.
Very slippery of you.
Ben (19:39):
Very slippery.
Elly (19:41):
Clarice.
Very
Ben (19:43):
slippery of you, Don John.
Elly (19:45):
Clarice.
The Great
Ben (19:47):
Late Hannibal Lecter.
Elly (19:52):
I can see it now, retirees living in campers, eating ramen
and suffering and dying by thethousands every day from lack of
nutrition and health care.
Ben (20:02):
Did I mention Trump also wants to end the ACA and has
been saying it for years?
Elly (20:08):
Yeah.
Mm hmm.
He wants that gone too.
So he can finally tell himself,I beat Obama.
There's more of his plan.
I'll go quickly.
Cut, Burdomsome.
Regulations.
Again.
He's just gonna cut it.
No metrics, no explanation, noplan.
(20:28):
Just more shit.
Ben (20:31):
Ha.
Uh,
Elly (20:34):
Trump wants to reduce freedoms for women, non
Christians, brown, and blackpeople and cut federal funding
for schools that stray from hispolicies and with Project 2025
agenda, but we're going to haveto unwrap this in another show.
It's just too lengthy anddystopian.
Ben (20:50):
Trump, 1984.
Where have I heard that before?
Elly (21:04):
Before we go, I'll mention his most hypocritical policy of
all.
Drumroll, please.
Don the con.
Wants to secure our elections.
Did he need to get rid of all
Ben (21:18):
his fake electors and all his buddy attorneys?
What an idiot.
Elly (21:25):
Oh, Trump as president told enemy Putin to attack
Hillary and they did.
Ben (21:30):
Don't forget his alternate
Elly (21:32):
electors again.
Boom.
Trump thought he said
alternate Lecters
Ben (21:37):
I'll help you catch them Don John.
Clarice
Elly (21:47):
Don't forget the Trump supporters in Michigan that
illegally were inspecting thevoting machines, Trump supporter
Lambert just arrested Sheactually tampered with voting
machines.

Moreover, she stole thousands ofdocuments from a case and
distributed them to right wingpodcasters, podcasts and news

sheriff who has used his officeto investigate baseless theories
(22:33):
about the 2020 election.
The sheriff, Dar Leaf,subsequently posted many of the
documents online, doxingDominion staffers by publicly
disclosing their names, emailaddresses, and cell phone
numbers.

Lambert, had represented formerOverstock CEO Patrick Byrne in
the lawsuit for his false claimsthat Dominion rigged the
election.
Dominion filed the lawsuitagainst Byrne for these false
allegations You can't make thisshit up.
Ben (23:15):

Elly (23:19):
And don't forget the January 6th coup attempt that
Trump and his minions willprobably claim as a holiday.
