Trump vs. Trudeau

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Okay, I want to read this. By the way, you
can text us seven zero four seven zero seven zero
four seven zero. I want to read a text from someone.
I know this person very well, very dear friend of
mine who often goes to Canada often. I mean, he's
there quite a bit of time, knows a lot of Canadians,
has a lot of Canadian friends. Here's what he texted

(00:23):
me about ooh, maybe twenty minutes ago. Jeff, what the
media is not telling you is that Justin Trudeau won't
even meet with members of Trump's team to talk about
a solution. He is just manipulating Canada's state subsidized media

(00:46):
into a frenzy. No talk with Trump, all talk out
of his can't say it, I'll talk out of his
rear end. He then goes on to say I have
dear friends fans who have lost their minds over this
in Canada, but others, Jeff, who actually know what's what

(01:07):
and they support Trump. The low information crowd, however, is
acting as we would expect. So this is Trump's point.
He goes, you knew about this a year ago. I
campaigned on this. Then when I won, I told you
in November it's coming then you met me in mar
A Lago and I told you it's coming, yet you

(01:29):
won't do a damn thing. And now you're declaring economic
war on us. He's using it for political purposes to
try to inflame the Canadian public in order to save
the Liberal Party's political fortunes when they have elections later
this year. And I'm telling you it's not going to work.

(01:52):
This is going to crater the Canadian economy if we
continue with this trade war, and it's going to hurt
the American economy at least in the short term. So
Trudeau is doing exactly what his globalist paymasters want him
to do, burn it all down on his way out

(02:13):
the door. Six one seven two six, six sixty eight
sixty eight. So let me ask you. Canada now has
issued massive retaliatory tariffs on American goods and products, and
they say there's going to be even more coming. They
say they're going to do whatever they can to shut

(02:35):
down our auto plants, to even cut off the supplies
of uranium aluminum steel that we need for our national security.
Canada has now declared economic war on the United States,
and even now there is a boycott of all American
goods and products. They're taking down our wine, our beer,

(02:59):
our shoe, ohose are They're just taking them off the shelves.
It is in British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec. They will not
sell American goods in products. This is now an all
out economic war. Should we declare economic war on Canada?
Is it time to break the Trudeau regime? Six one

(03:22):
seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight is the number?
Do you support Trump's tariffs? Yes? Or no? Mark in Medford,
Thanks for holding Mark and welcome.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
Good morning, Jeff.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
Excuse me. I'm a little bit under the weather today,
but I.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
Was gonna say, Mark, Yeah, you don't sound the best,
my friend. You you do sound like you're sick.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
I think I'm getting the fluke. But it is what
it is.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
So Yes, I do support President Trump's tariffs on Canada.
I mean, Jeff, how long has been Canada been mooching
off the United States? I mean that Trump needed to
Trump did what needed to be done and what should
have been done many years ago. And I don't understand
for the life of me, how some of these Canadian

(04:16):
citizens can trust Justin Trudeau, especially after what he did
to them. During COVID, arresting truckers, arresting for arresting for like,
for blocking. Uh, just things going on during COVID, and
and and they you expect people to believe you. I mean,

(04:36):
this is what happens, Jeff. When you go woke, you
do go broke. And by him not being able to
sell I'm not wanting to sell any American products in Canada.
That's just hurt in Canada too. I mean, for the
love of Christ, Jeff, I mean, how long a country
is going to keep taking advantage of us until somebody

(04:57):
like Donald Trump steps forward and says enough is enough?

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Mark, I agree with you one thousand percent. Let me
ask you, what do you make of the fact that
the New York Times is siding with China, Mexico, and Canada.
The Wall Street Journal editorial page siding with China, Mexico, Canada.
Chuck Schumer, the Democrats liberals in this trade battle are

(05:26):
siding with China, Mexico, and Canada. They're openly rooting for
them to win this trade war. And they're saying that
Canada is not the aggressor or Mexico or China, but
that Trump is the aggressor in this Diri war. What
say you?

Speaker 2 (05:46):
And you just mentioned have been against any of Trump's
policies from day one, and any Republican conservative policies from
day one. So do you expect anything different from these
people now? Oh, they're never gonna change yet. And as
fun as The New York Times goes, listen, I have

(06:06):
toilet paper that I'd probably replaced toilet paper with the
New York Times at the Wall Street Journal, Mark.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
Mark, you may be having the flu, but my friend,
you're still in fine form. Let me tell you, Mark,
thank you very much for that call, and please get
well soon. Buddy. Okay, I want to ask you. It
is the Cooner country pole question of the day du jour,
as the French would say, sponsored by Marios Marios Quality Roofing,

(06:40):
siding and Windows. And this is the question I'm telling
you that's gonna have the heads of Canadian liberals exploding.
They're gonna go berserk once they find out we've posted
this qui. In fact, we have posted this question up
and this their entire narrative here it is, do you

(07:05):
think Canada has been taking advantage of the United States?
Has Canada really for decades now? But let's just keep
it simple. Has Canada been taking economic advantage of the
United States? A yes, B no. You know where I stand,

(07:31):
not just Canada, Mexico, China. Frankly, the European Union we're
gonna get. That's another topic. Trump is now saying there's
gonna be TIFFs on the EU goods. The EU now
is threatening retaliatory tariffs. But let's leave the EU out
of it. Do you think Canada has been taking advantage

(07:51):
economic advantage of the United States? Aes B No. I'm
a yes A all the way. I think you have
to be blind not to see it. But that's me.
I want to hear from you. You can vote on
our web page wrko dot com slash Coooner wrko dot
com slash Coooner. Kuh And is in national Er. You

(08:14):
can also vote via x. I was very active last
night my handle at the Kooner Report. It's all one
word at the Kooner Report. Kuh And is in national Er. Okay,
so at the Kooner Report. Please you need to hear this,

(08:35):
all of you. You need to hear this. The hysteria
now that is sweeping Canada, and again it's mostly media driven.
It's completely In fact, it's overwhelmingly media and regime driven.
This is Trudeau and his flunkies now pumping up mass

(08:59):
hysteria and hatred for all things America and American, egged
on by the state subsidized media. This is former Deputy
Prime Minister Christia Freeland. She's now in the leadership race
to replace Trudeau, so she's almost trying to out anti

(09:23):
American Trudeau himself. Okay, Trudeau is whipping up the passions.
She's even trying to outflank him because she thinks that's
going to be her ticket to winning the leadership in
about six weeks when they have the leadership election for
the Liberal Party of Canada. Whoever wins that will succeed Trudeau.
Listen to her. She goes on, This is CNN. This

(09:49):
is what she had to say about Trump's twenty five
percent tariff roll cut.

Speaker 4 (09:54):
Five Mike, the pretexts are utterly ludicrous. This action is
utter madness. It is a betrayal of America's closest friend,
of your ally, your neighbor, your best partner in the
whole world. It is an act of economic warfare. And

(10:18):
the President was clear just this morning that it is
a direct attack on our sovereignty.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
Now, so it's an active economic warfare according to her,
is it the hysteria they're pumping up there, the fear mongering,
they hate mongering, and it's an attack on Canada's sovereignty. Really,
So a twenty five percent tariff is an attack on Canada.

(10:46):
It's a declaration of war. It's an attack on Canadian sovereignty.
According to this woke buffoon, kay Christia Freeland, who, by
the way, her grandfather, I kid you not, was a
Nazi collaborator in Ukraine. He was a Ukrainian Nazi collaborator

(11:06):
who edited a Nazi collaborationist newspaper and she hid that
fact for decades and lied about it. So that's the
kind of scumbag Christia Frieland is. But let that go.
Let that go. Okay, So, if this is an attack
on Canadian sovereignty, tell me what's this? Then what's this

(11:31):
four years? I'm not talking to retaliatory tariffs that Trudeau
announced on Saturday. I'm talking about tariffs that Canada has
been imposing on American goods and products for years. Milk,
these are Canadian tariffs on US goods. Listen to this

(11:53):
milk two hundred and seventy percent, Blank you butter on
American Canadian tariffs two hundred and ninety eight percent, cheese
two hundred and forty five percent, chicken two hundred and
thirty eight percent, sausages seventy percent, barley seed fifty eight percent,

(12:19):
meet twenty six point five percent. Cars, cars, don't we
have a free trade deal?

Speaker 2 (12:27):
Huh?

Speaker 1 (12:27):
Cars twenty five percent, h vac forty five percent, vacuums
thirty five percent, cable boxes thirty five percent, TVs forty
five percent, steal twenty five percent, aluminum forty five percent,

(12:50):
copper forty eight percent. And I could go on and
on and on. So twenty five percent is an attack
on Canada and is a declaration of economic warfare. What
the hell is two hundred and seventy two hundred and

(13:11):
ninety eight, two hundred and forty five percent, What the
hell is this nuclear war? By their standard? No, I'm serious.
By the way they're reacting, we should be nooking them
by now, the kind of hysteria they're fomenting up there
over a twenty five percent tariff, After the way they've

(13:32):
abused us and mistreated us and taken advantage of us. Now,
let me just say one other thing is this needs
to be said. This isn't free trade. All of these
tariffs I just listed to you that Canada is imposed.
This is not free trade. This is highway robbery. Trump

(13:52):
is saying, Hey, look I don't mind free trade, but
it's got to be fair trade both sides. Now he's
the bad gun. Hey, this is my response to Trudeau
and Christia Freeland. Blank off, seriously, blank off. Friends don't
treat each other like this. Neighbors don't treat each other

(14:16):
like this. Allies don't treat each other like this. You
guys have been ripping us off for decades highway robbery,
and now you claim all innocent and the victim. When
Trump says, no, this is gonna stop. Nah enough, Nah,

(14:37):
We're gonna rebalance this trade relationship. Nah. It's not all
gonna be a one way streak. Nah, It's gonna be
two ways. Friendship is a two way streat. Six one
seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight is the number.
What I just read to you. Okay, what I just

(15:00):
right to you. Those tariffs no Canadian knows about. Most
Americans don't, obviously, but all these Canadians that are getting
all hot and bothered have no clue what their government
has been has been imposing in terms of tariffs and
duties on American products for years. And by the way,

(15:25):
as my friend in my Canadian or who lives in
Canada is an American but spends a lot of time
in Canada, Jeff Christia Frielan's grandfather was a member of
the WAFT in ss my god, no kidding, and she's
lecturing us ay yea, yay okay very quickly, six oh three, Jeff,

(15:50):
you have it right. Trudeau is a double stringed puppet
dangled by both China and the World Economic Forum justin.
Trudeau's mission is to sow chaos and divide Canadians not
only among themselves but among Americans, and all of this
softens Canada up for even more Chinese infiltration and control.

(16:17):
Follow the money. The Dems and the Libs, as always,
are siding with our enemies, China in particular, but they're
also siding with Mexico and Canada. Obviously they're not our enemies,
or at least certainly Canada isn't our enemy, but it
doesn't matter. They are now rooting for those countries to
defeat Trump in this trade war six one seven two

(16:42):
six six sixty eight sixty eight, seven point fifty on
the Great Wrao Jeff Kooner, Liberalism's worst nightmare. So let
me ask you. Trudeau now says he is declaring economic
war on not just Trump and the United States, but
on all US goods, products and imports, massive retaliatory tariffs,

(17:07):
and as I speak to you now, there is a
huge boycott underway in Canada. They are not The Canadians
say they're not going to buy any American products and
they're starting to take some of them literally off the shelves.
What say you, Should we now escalate the tariffs? Should

(17:28):
we respond in kind? What needs to be done? And
in this war between Trump and Trudeau? Who do you
side with? Six one seven two six six sixty eight
sixty eight lines are jammed. Victor in Maryland. Thanks for
holding Victor, and welcome.

Speaker 5 (17:50):
Good morning America's talk show host.

Speaker 1 (17:55):
Hi, thank you Victor.

Speaker 5 (17:57):
Heck of a lot better today. I want to bring
up a point, and then I have a question. Here's
my point. I know more about Canada than the average
American because my hobby is d xing I like to
pick up distant stations, so I would pick up the

(18:18):
Canadian stations at night. I got lucky and got through
to the Rush Limbaugh of Canada, Lowell Green, and this
was right smack dab in the middle of the Quebec
situation separation problem. He asked me, he says, Victor, as

(18:38):
an American, do you think Canadians are stupid? And I
said to Lowell, Sir, it's hard to answer that question
because how many of the left up in Canada are
former Americans, the Draft Aughts, Ares, etc. He says, you
made an excellent point. Now here is my question. Where

(19:03):
is Pierre the guy who ate the Apple well estising
the media? We don't hear a word about him? And
do you think Trump will go off to Canada and
help him with his campaign?

Speaker 6 (19:16):
Well?

Speaker 1 (19:16):
I think he should. You're talking about Pierre Polliev. Everybody
in America should know his name. He is the leader
of the opposition of the Conservatives. He is poised to
become the next prime minister. The polls have him leading.
It depends either twenty or thirty percentage points, so it
looks like he will win the election sometime October November

(19:37):
whenever it's held. Well, the thing about Pierre Poliere is
he's basically siding with Trudeau on this issue. He's now
because he's worried about this anti americanism that Dave Now
sparked and ignited, and so he's saying, no, we have
to retaliate. We will retaliate. Now where Polliev is a

(19:58):
bit smarter is he does say, but we have to
sit down with Trump and find a solution and negotiate
an end to this. In other words, Poiliev to his
to give him his due, will crack down on the border.
He will end the fentinel smuggling. He will stop the
illegals from coming in, especially into as I said, Maine, Vermont,

(20:23):
upstate New York where a lot of them are now
coming in. So I think Poliev is a man that
Trump can do business with. But right now I wish
I could say he's being principled and turn around and
say no, Trudeau is to blame for this, not Trump.
He's not doing that. But anyway, look, he's infinitely better

(20:46):
than Justin Trudeau or whoever succeeds him. And if we
get new leadership in Canada, this will be a radically
different relationship. But I think, Victor, this to me is
the larger point. And you tell me if you agree disagree.
The days of Canada freeloading off the United States are over,

(21:07):
the days of Mexico freeloading off the United States are over.
The days of China taking advantage frankly to me, you know,
and I'm choosing my words carefully, Victor, economically and militarily
raping the United States are over. And the European Union
is the same thing. There's a big trade war now

(21:29):
that's going to loom between US and the EU because
they've been doing the same to us, like Canada and Mexico.
And so I think the days of Uncle Sucker are over.
The days of Uncle Sam is back. What say you?
Final word to you.

Speaker 5 (21:45):
Victor, here is my thought, going back to what I
started talking to you about. There was a book that
came out called Breakup and a Stay that if Quebec
had separated, the Eastern provinces would have no choice but

(22:06):
to join the United States. I believe with all that's
going on, and I heard somebody talk about this from Alberta,
he would support the constitution of the United States. So
I think there's going to be a day when Canada
will eventually break up. I don't know when, but I

(22:27):
know there's enough Canadians up there that are so fed
up that they would like to become part of the US.

Speaker 1 (22:33):
That's true, That's very very true, Victor, thank you very
much for that call. The western provinces in particular, for example,
you know, even now, the Premiere of Alberta is not
joining this boycott. The Premiere of Alberta says, this is madness.
What do you guys, nuts Now, British Columbia is different.

(22:54):
There's a lot of leftists in British Columbia, but you
look at Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, they're practically Americans and everything
but name. And then you're right, the eastern provinces, many
of them, the Maritimes as they're called, the Maritime Provinces,
would love to join the United States. So look, Trudeau
is playing with fire. If the Canadian economy completely crashes

(23:18):
because of this trade war, I mean just collapses, he
could lose the whole damn thing. Like this is this
when I say madness, this really is madness. So we'll see,
I mean, I don't have to say we'll see six
one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight. And look,

(23:40):
let me just say one other thing, because this also
needs to be said, and they're not even hiding it anymore.
Please don't trust me, don't take my word for it.
Headline in the New York Times front page headline, Trumps
tariffs on Canada and Mexico reverse twenty years of North

(24:01):
American integration. Wall Street Journal, same thing. This rolls back
or begins to roll back twenty years of full economic
political integration between Canada, the United States and Mexico. And so,
as I pointed out on X if you really want

(24:24):
to know why, the real reason, the ultimate reason why
Justin Trudeau is going apoplectic, Christia Freeland is going apoplectic.
This is CNN is going apoplectic, or the New York
Times or the Wall Street Journal or the Democratic Party

(24:46):
or Lindsey Graham and all these other globalists up on
Capitol Hill. It's because these tariffs by Trump on Canada,
Mexico and China, but especially Canada and Mexico, delivers a
massive blow, a body blow to their ultimate goal, the
globalist's ultimate goal, a North American common market. The purpose

(25:14):
of NAFTA was to eventually create a North American version
of the European Union that George H. W. Bush was
naked explicit about it. No borders between Canada and the US,
no borders between the United States and Mexico, and eventually

(25:37):
a common currency. And when you then have a common currency,
eventually full political integration. Basically a North American superstate, as
I said, modeled on the European Union. So what Trump
is now doing by imposing these tariffs is he is
now undermining the new World Order. This is a body

(26:01):
blow to the New World Order. This is a body
blow to the dreams and aspirations of the globalists. He
is reversing twenty years of globalism with these tariffs, reasserting
American sovereignty and American rights and American interests. That's why
true those losing his mind because what they're essentially telling

(26:26):
us to our faces, you don't have the right to
defend American dairy producers, you don't have the right to
defend American farmers. You don't have the right to defend
American auto manufacturers. No, you're part of a larger block
now like the EU. No no, no, no, hey, no, no,

(26:49):
you have to a doesn't matter if you keep hemorrhaging
jobs and manufacturing. It doesn't matter that you keep getting
taken advantage of. You're part of something bigger. You don't
control your sovereignty anymore. You don't control your country anymore.
And so they've wanted a North American common market to

(27:12):
become similar to the European Union. And Trump is saying,
no way, hoose absolutely not America for Americans, and I
will put America first. And that's why now they are
all freaking out. Six one seven two six six sixty

(27:35):
eight sixty eight. And now, as Paul Harvey used to say,
you know the rest of the story. Steve im Norton,
Thanks for holding Steve, and welcome.

Speaker 6 (27:49):
Good morning, Konaman. Hi Steve, Hey, how I'm reading from
the Canadian the Prominent Defense the finance they stay in
their statement hands is Saturday that less than one percent
of the fentanyl and illegal crossings into the United States
come from Canada.

Speaker 3 (28:09):
What do you say about that?

Speaker 1 (28:11):
Well, that's what they claim. I mean, just because they
claim it doesn't mean it's true, you know, but let's
just take it at face value. So one percent is
one percent too much like I you know, we lose
one hundred thousand Americans every year due to fentanyl. So
what we're supposed to say no to thousands of Americans
dying because of fentanyl coming in across the Canadian border.

(28:35):
If thousands of Canadians were dying because drugs were coming
in from the American border into Canada, they'd be raising
Holy hell. If terrorists were coming in and we've caught
terrorists coming in from the Canadian border, coming in I
fin coming in right through New York. We caught them
red handed. Isis If terrorists were coming in from the

(28:56):
United States into Canada, they wouldn't be saying, oh, but
there are more terrorists coming in from Russia or from
the European Union or from the Middle East. They wouldn't
say that. They say, guys, clean up your act on
the other side. So this idea of it's only one percent, Hey,
it's not true. The number is much higher than that.

(29:18):
But let's just take it at phase value. So if
it's so low, here's the counter argument. If it's so low,
then secure your border. What's the problem. I mean, justin
Trudeau refuses to lift a finger. Okay, So if it's
just a couple of fentanyl traffickers here and fentanyl traffickers there.

(29:38):
Get your RCMP. We're doing raids. You do raids, crack down,
clean out the fentinal traffickers, and crack down on the
illegal migrants. If there is as few as you say
they are, there should be no problem. Then it should
be a mopping up operation. So do it. It takes
you one week and the tariffs are off. But notice Steve,

(30:01):
he doesn't say that. He doesn't, So you have to
ask yourself the question, why won't he secure the border?
Why won't he crack down on fentanyl? Why won't he
crack down on illegals? But he's willing now to launch
massive retaliatory tariffs on one hundred and fifty five billion
dollars worth of American goods and lead a boycott, an

(30:27):
all out boycott of every US product. And then he says,
we're gonna go more. We're gonna hit your uranium, we're
gonna hit potash, aluminum steel, So you guys won't have
enough for your military or national security. So you're willing
to go to economic war because you don't want to

(30:51):
clean up a few fentanyl dealers and a few illegals
according to you, because the number is so small, then
the man's a lunatic. Than the man's an absolute idiot
and lunatic who should be thrown out of Parliament right now.
And by the way, that's literally the position of the
second most wealthiest man in Canada. The second biggest company

(31:13):
is Shopify. And he came out and said Trudeau's to
blame for all this. He goes, Trump's demands are very reasonable.
What government would not want to stop fentanyl? What government
would not want to stop illegal migrants or aliens coming
into another country? I mean, this is a no brainer.

(31:35):
And then he said, if it's as little as the
Liberals keep claiming up there, then it should be even
easier to do it. He says, what they've now done
is they've created a problem, and now they've made the
worst possible response to Trump's inevitable reaction. And as that
guy said, Lucky is his last name.

Speaker 5 (31:58):
L U t k E.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
Look it up. Okay, he's worth over ten billion dollars.
He's one of the richest Canadians in the world. And
he said Trump's demands are eminently reasonable. You could have
prevented this trade war like this he told you a
year ago on the campaign trail, he told you three
months ago when he won. He told you in mar
Alago two months ago, the tariffs are coming. Clean up

(32:22):
your act, and you refuse to clean up your act.
Now you're blaming him, and then you launched this all
out economic war on the United States. Steve. Look, I'm
going to be very candid with you, Okay, Like I'm
in the confessional. I love America. This is my country,

(32:46):
this is my homeland. I put the United States above
Canada and above my ethnic ancestry, which is Croatian. Okay,
So if you loyalty, it's to America, not to Canada.
But I'm going to be honest with you. You this
trade war is breaking my heart because I was born
and raised in Canada. I have family in Canada. I

(33:08):
just buried my dad who was Canadian, just like, what
is it a couple of weeks ago, a month ago,
that Pierre that sorry, that Pierre was the father, That
Justin Trudeau is willing to do this to Canada and
the Canadian people is heartbreaking to me. This is going

(33:29):
to be potentially the economic equivalent of the First World
War for Canada. It is going to be havoc destruction
and ruin that that country may never recover from. And
the manipulation, the propaganda. It's it's similar to World War One.

(33:53):
The insane jingoistic frenzy that's now being unleashed, the miss information,
the lies. He's taking that country down a very dark,
very dangerous, and ultimately self destructive road. And I don't

(34:14):
want to see. I don't want to see my former
homeland go down that road. Trump is not asking for
pie in the sky. Trump is not imposing Paris for
the sake of imposing tariffs. He wants Canada to do
the bare minimum. Canada should do the bare minimum. Steve

(34:35):
final word to you.

Speaker 3 (34:38):
All I can say is if you can read this,
it's from the Departminent of Finance, and it says that
it is a one hundred and fifty five billion dollars
tariff package in response to unjustified US tariffs. I also
wanted to ask you when Trump stated that the United
States subsidizes Canada to the tune of two hundred million dollars,
where does he get that information from.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
Well, that's that's trade surpluses or for Amran trade deficits.
So it's trade deficits that we rack up every year.
Because you see what the Canadian with that letter does
in really see, that's pure propaganda, that letter from the
Canadian Department of Finance. What about all the tariffs that
Canada has been imposing on the United States? So why

(35:23):
is it okay for Canada to impose not twenty five percent,
but two hundred and seventy percent on American goods and products?
And we're supposed to take it in the you know,
right on the chin, year after year after year after
year after year. So we're supposed to take two hundred

(35:43):
and seventy percent, but they can't take twenty five percent. No,
I'm sorry. So you're talking about the trade deficits, the
duties that Canada imposes, and the trade deficit, the trade
ser plus is that they have combined with the fact
that we basically subsidize their entire military. Canada has doesn't

(36:07):
come close to three percent GDP. And we protect the Arctic,
they don't. We protect Canada's borders. They don't putin wants
Canadian oil in the Arctic. You know who's defending that.
We are? So Trump is saying, we do your military,

(36:28):
we protect you, We give you all these trade giveaways.
It's two hundred to two hundred and fifty billion dollars
a year. Well, if you can't stand on your own
two feet because you can't afford two hundred and fifty
billion dollars a year, then become the fifty first eight
like either put up or shut up. And now see

(36:52):
they want to ride the gravy train, and Trump is saying,
the gravy train is over. We're gonna have fair trade,
free but fair, and you're gonna start paying for your military.
You're gonna be a big boy. Now, Okay, you're going
to be an adult. You're gonna stand on your own

(37:12):
two feet. If you can't stand on your own two feet,
then we'll take care of you. Then you're a fifty
first state. But if you want to be an independent country,
then act like an independent country. Steve, thank you very
much for that call. I really appreciate it. Six one
seven two six, six sixty eight sixty eight is the number. Okay,

take a lot of calls on the other side.
