Speaker 1 (00:01):
So after you do a Say of the Union, the
question is didn't land with the American people?
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Well? Void did it? Ever?
Speaker 1 (00:09):
CBS poll has come out and said that seventy six
percent approved of President Trump's address to Congress. I cannot
tell you how massive that actually is. The majority of
Americans overwhelmingly supporting Donald Trump's decisions, and viewers who watched
it said, yes, we approve of what Donald Trump had
(00:31):
to say in his speech, which was the longest Say
of the Union ever to that joint session of Congress
Tuesday night. Now, Trump boasted about the many accomplishments since
being inaugurated January twentieth, and exclaimed, we are just getting started.
Did the American people believe and support what the President
was saying? Yes, A whopping seventy six percent of those
(00:55):
watching said they approved of Trump's first second term speech
to Congress. And this is again coming from CBS News.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Now.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
One of the X factors of this is also just
how negative and honestly psycho the Democrats look. They wouldn't
even stand and clap when someone gets into West.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Point who had lost a loved one.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
They wouldn't stand and clap for a young boy who
has made a Secret Service agent. They wouldn't clap when
we talked about bringing actual terrorists to killed Americans at
ABU Gate to justice in the United States of America.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
And I'm going to have more on that list in
a moment.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
But that may be why the President landed this speech
so well, is because the American people could see just
how much the Democratic Party hates basic things that all
Americans should be in favor of.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
It shouldn't be a partisan issue.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
If you have a president saying we're bringing terrorists to justice,
it shouldn't be a partisans an issue. To stand for
a young boy who is fighting for his life with
cancer and surviving and then being made a sea you know, a.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Secret service agent.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
This is one of those moments that everyone should clap for,
and yet the Democrats refuse to stand. So let's get
to the poll numbers and really break this down. Not
only did ninety one percent say that Donald Trump spent
time on issues they cared about, meaning that is a
speech that laid it. Look, I've gotten to help on
(02:33):
a couple of different State of the Union addresses. And
if you walked into the presence at miss President, we
just wrote you a speech that ninety one percent of
the country is going to connect with and say that
you you talked about an issue they cared about. Let
me just tell you, you would be a god in
the political speech writing world. Okay, I've never seen a
speech to my knowledge that rated afterwards at ninety one percent.
(02:57):
That is the holy grail where one percent of the people
watching said, hey, you talked about something that I genuinely
cared about. Now, that is unbelievable on its face. But
then you go back to the other question, Okay, was
the speech something you watched for a long period of time.
That simply comes down to an issue of entertainment. Are
(03:20):
you engaged? Is the president speaking to you or is
he talking about things that you don't care about? Well,
ninety one percent said the president spend time on issues
that cared about, and then seventy four percent said the
address was presidential and also informative and entertaining.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
A total of seventy one.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Percent after that said the speech was inspiring to them. Now,
let's go back to speech writing here and say the unions,
when you're writing a speech like this, if you could
walk into any president say hey, I'm going to give
you a speech that ninety one percent are going to
say connected with them in a way. Seventy four percent
said that your address was quote presidential, and then seventy
(04:03):
one percent, mister President, said the speech was inspiring to them.
That is, these are numbers that I would literally argue
are virtually unobtainable. Here's where it gets even crazier than that.
Sixty two percent of the people watching the speech last
night said it was a unifying speech. Now, there are
a lot of moments in there where the Democratic Party
(04:25):
didn't clap and refuse to clap for things that I
just mentioned. And when you look at that, the American
people noticed it and they understood just how radical the
Democratic Party has become, how disgruntled they are, how angry
they are, and how they refuse to stand for anything
if there are Republicans involved in it, which is like
(04:46):
exactly what the American.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
People don't want.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Seventy one percent said they found the speech inspiring, sixty
two percent said it was unifying.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
And then here's the other part.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Half of Americans, right, we're very much a divided country.
Forty six percent said it was a divisive speech. Less
than half. That is an incredibly low number when a
country is divided, I would argue forty eight, forty eight.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
So what does that mean.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
It means the president connected with independent voters, and he
connected with actually a very large group of Democratic voters
or people that identify themselves as Democratic leaning. Now, when
asks how the speech makes them feel, and this is
about emotions and do you feel like the president is.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Connecting with you?
Speaker 1 (05:36):
This goes back to that I feel your pain comments
that were made so famous back in the day, right, like,
if the American people feel like you are listening to
them and that you are connecting with them, they will
tell you that number one, they'll trust you. Number two,
they'll give you a longer runway to deliver on some
of your promises. And they also feel like you are
(06:00):
connecting with them and their real struggles in life. It
goes back to the basic issues like it's the economy stupid.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
So when you look at.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
CBS suits asked how the speech made you feel, sixty
eight percent of Americans said they watched speech that the
speech made them feel hopeful. So almost seven out of
ten Americans that watched speech said that president made them
feel hopeful for better times. Fifty four percent, which is
more than the Republican Party.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Conservative voters said that the speech made them proud, twenty
seven percent said that speech made them worried, and sixteen
percent said they were angry. Now, let's be clear about
what that could mean. The angry could be your angry
as a Republican that the government has been wasting so
much your money when the President was running through the
list of all the waste fraud abuse, right the anger
(06:54):
could come from you watching the Democrats that wouldn't even
stand for us capturing terrorists and bring them to Joe
like things like that are refusing to stand for a
child in a moment of grief that turned into an
incredible moment of hope, right Like, that could make you
angry that the left was doing that. So the angry
category to have that low of a quote angry category
(07:16):
is actually very good for a speech. Now, when asked
whether the president has a clear plan to battle inflation,
and this comes back to policies, and it also goes
back to what I said a moment ago, it's the
economy stupid. When asked whether the president has a clear
plan to battle inflation, sixty eight percent said yes, and
(07:37):
thirty two percent said no. That means almost seven out
of ten Americans believe the president has a clear plan
to battle inflation.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
That is a home run now.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Respondents were also asked about Trump's plans for waste and
government seventy seven percent, so the number goes up even higher,
almost eight and ten Americans like the plan.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Just twenty three percent dislike it. What does that mean?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Democrats should pay attention to that number in office and
leaders of the Democratic Party and realized they need to
stop fighting against DOGE and embrace it because almost eight
out of ten voters seventy seven percent, so they like
Trump's plan for stopping.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Waste in government.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Immigration and the border another example, seventy seven percent, so
they support the presidents Almost eight out of ten Americans
say yes. Ukraine and Russia and the President standing up
and saying We're not sending any more money, We're not
going to send you these arms. We want peace. Well,
Democrats thought that was an issue that would help them.
It backfired massively. The President standing up to Zelenski, seventy
(08:39):
three percent of Americans that they were in favor of it.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
That's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Even on the issue of tariffs, these tariffs that the
presidents put in. Sixty five percent of Americans said they
support the president, and that means they're listening to the
president when he talks about these tariffs. Now, there's also
another issue of crime. Eight percent of Americans, so almost
seven out of ten voters said Trump described the country's
crime problem accurately, and seventy six percent said they approved
(09:09):
of Al Green, the Democrat, being removed from the chamber
after disrupting the President's speech. So all of the antics
of the Democrats last night backs fired in just the
most glorious way ever. Now, these numbers I just gave
you all came from CBS News, so they had to
have been on a suicide watch after they had to
(09:30):
report this as a news organization, because this is not
what they were hoping to tell you. If you thought
the Democrats were going to learn anything from Donald Trump's
speech or how America reacted to it with the incredible
poll numbers, well you'd be wrong, because they are all
now saying that they didn't do enough to disrupt the
(09:51):
President of the United States of America. Even ABC News
is Sunney Houston said all the Democrats should have walked out,
ring Donald Trump's address that on the view saying the
Democratic lawmakers should have I guess san Essence said, we're
standing with you. To the one man that actually was
booted from the night, Sonny Hostin said, you know, while
(10:14):
I didn't watch it, I was looking for signs of
an opposition party, which is what the Democratic Party must
be at this point, not a resistance because resistance is passive.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Opposition is active.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
I think that is what I saw when Representative Val
Green stood up and said, quote, you don't have a
mandate to take away Medicaid.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
And he was tossed out.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I expected the rest of his Democratic caucus, his colleagues,
to walk out with him, because alone you can survive,
but together you thrive. She went on to say later
in the program that quote, that is the energy that
we need. They should have stood with him in solidarity.
We had Jean p Here on this show yesterday and
(11:02):
she said, we have to have a sense of urgency
as we move forward, and we cannot do it the
way we have in the past. This is not normal.
It is a five alarm fire. And what I want
to say to the Democrats is you can't play by
the rules with a party that has thrown away the
rule book. You cannot do it now. This is coming
(11:25):
from the same people that tried to put Donald Trump
in prison and anyone else around him. They're the ones
that advocated for the raid of Marlago. They're the ones
that said that the people around January the sixth were
the same as terrorists that attack this country on nine
to eleven, you know, Sama bin Laden and al Qaeda.
These are also the same people that are now actively
(11:48):
advocating for anarchy or another word, democrats obsessed over insurrectionists.
Now it seems that the Democratic Party is calling for
exactly that anarchy, insurrection, but not from people outside the capital.
They're literally advocating for it by the people that have
been elected inside of our government. You may have also
(12:10):
seen during Donald Trump's joint address to Congress, the purple
haired congresswoman who went viral Tuesday night for scowling throughout
the entirety of President Donald Trump's addressed to Congress. Well,
she decided it was not enough just to scowl at
the president all night. She even put out a special
video on x saying this.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
I was really stunned that the election was fought over
the cost of living and people families who live paycheck
to paycheck, concerned about it whether or not they were
going to be able to pay their bills, be able
to pay for the healthcare in some cases, even putting
food on the table. And the addressed tonight didn't address
(12:53):
any of those issues about cost of living and the
fact that people live paycheck to paycheck, and what we
ought to be doing and the Congress is to make
sure that we are helping people to secure an economic
future for themselves and their families.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
By the way, let's just hit pause there and go
what to the CBS poll numbers actually did tell us
about the speech.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
The people watching the.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Speech definitely believe that the president was actually talking about
those things. In fact, when askedor the President had a
clear plan to battle inflation in the speech, sixty eight
percent said yes, and it was a plan that they
could get behind. So what is she actually complaining about.
She's complaining about the fact that Democratic Party lost the
(13:40):
last election. And that is when she tells you the
truth about how much she hates Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Keep listening.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
I found the speech to be vengeful, revengeful and instead
of being lifting the hopes and the aspirations of people
of the United States, of how we move forward as
a great nation that we are, what the vision for
(14:07):
our future was. It devolved into just vindictiveness and self
agilation on behalf of Donald Trump did not address the
issue of unchecked billionaires like his friend Ally and Elon Musk.
(14:35):
It was not a speech befitting a great world leader
or a great president of the United States.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
So there you have it.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
They're angry about Elon Musk cutting their waist, their fraud
and their abuse. They're also angry to Elon Musk for
apparently being wealthy, but they have no problem with George
Soros or any of the other billionaires on the left
that have been financing this type of quote anarchy and
revengeful vengefulness to quote her. So at the end of
(15:07):
the day, if you thought Democrats were going to learn
from their mistakes, apparently they're not at all, and that
may actually be a good thing for Donald Trump and
his agenda.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
So let's just go back to the other.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Big moment in the night for the Democratic Party, and
that was when there is a guy by the name
of Representative Al Green. He had unruly behavior that clearly
he had premeditated and decided to yell at the President
United States of America. He was warned that he was
breaking the rules. He obviously wanted to be kicked out
(15:40):
of the Joint Session of Congress. He was successful at
doing that, and now he is a leader and some
sort of hero for the left. So will anything be done?
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Well?
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Now we know that the House of Representatives has moved
to advance the censure of Representative Algreen, that Democrat from Texas,
after his behavior during Donald Trump's address to Congress on
Tuesday night. The vote, though, shows that Democrats yet again
have learned nothing. It was a two eleven to two
oh nine vote. The House voted to move forward with
(16:13):
the censorship of Green after the House Sergeant arms escort
him out over his refusal to follow decorum during the speech.
Every member of Congress knows what that decorum is. House
Speaker Mike Johnson interrupted Donald Trump's speech as Democrats began
exhibiting unrually behavior, and he warned them that they needed
(16:33):
to quote observe the House decorum, mister President. Members are
directed to uphold and maintain decorum in the House and
to cease any further disruptions. Johnson said that's your warning.
When Democrats continued to exhibit the behavior, Johnson warned them
that the Chair was prepared to direct the Sergeant of
(16:53):
Arms to restore order to the Joint Session. Members are
engaging in willful quoting, continued breach of decorum, and the
Chair is prepared to direct the Sergeant Arms to restore
the order to the joint Session. Johnson told Green to
take a seat several times before directing the Sergeant Arms
to restore that order, and he was removed. Well, Democrats,
(17:16):
they apparently think this is some brave and big and
bold moment, because all of the Democrats voted to say no,
we're not going to actually enforce the rules of the House. Instead,
we're going to say no to censuring one of our own.
And in the aftermath of the incident, Representative Dan Newhouse,
a Republican from Washington State, introduced a resolution a censor
(17:39):
Green over his behavior. The resolution says, whereas the conduct
of represented from Texas disrupted the proceedings of the Joint
Address and was a breach of proper conduct. And whereas,
after numerous disruptions, the represented from Texas had to be
removed from the chamber by the Sergeant at arms. Now,
therefore be it resolved that Representative out Green be censured.
(18:01):
The Democrats were reported as having tried to table the
resolution known as House Resolution one eighty nine, but the
move to table ended up being rejected, and so that
is when the vote came in. So I go back
to what I said a moment ago. When you have
one hundred and nine Democrats that know that Algreen should
(18:23):
be censured for what he did, and they all stand
with them. Not only are they clearly out of touch
with reality, but they're incredibly out of touch with what
the American people want and what they care about.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
I go back to the CBS poll.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Seventy six percent approved of what Donald Trump said. More
than ninety percent said the President talked about a major
issue that affected their life that was important to them.
The overwhelming majority said they trust the present when it
comes to cutting waste, fraud and abuse abuse would doeach,
(19:00):
and they also approve of the President's plan to cut
the on issues like inflation. You look at Democrats and
what are they focused on disrupting a present that the
American people are behind with a massive mandate, and what
are they also in favor of?
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Well, if they don't get their way.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
They want to put you in jail, they want to
lock you up, they want to silence you, and they
want you to kick them out of the House of
Representatives like there's some sort of heroes.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
I don't think the American people, however, are going to
fall for this at all.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
It's very important that you understand what's going on with
Donald Trump using tariffs to protect American lives. There's a
lot of misinformation out there about the President and the
tariffs that have just gone into effect, and I want
you to understand why. First off, the President is actually
doing this. You may not no, but President Joe Biden
(20:02):
did very little on fighting to protect Americans from FETNL.
FETNAL smugglers killed roughly three hundred thousand Americans during his
time in office. That is exactly why President Trump has
quickly imposed painful tariffs on countries that are helping those
(20:23):
smugglers that killed again three hundred thousand Americans during the
Biden administration.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Quote.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
I determined that the failure of the Government of the
People's Republic of China to act to blunt the sustained
influx of synthetic opioids, including fetnel flowing from the Chinese
Republic to the United States constituted an unusual and extraordinary
threat to the national security, foreign policy, an economy of
(20:58):
the United States of America. That is what Donald Trump
declared in his March third Order. He also went on
to say this in recognition of the fact that China
has not taken adequate steps to alleviate the illicit drug crisis.
Section two A of Executive Order fourteen nineteen five is
(21:18):
hereby amended by striking the words ten percent and inserting
in lieu thereof the words twenty percent. The order is
titled Further Amendment to Duties Addressing the Synthetic Opioid Supply
Chain in the People's Republic of China. Now, this isn't
the only place we're having problems when it comes to
(21:40):
Americans dying because of the drugs that are pouring across
the open borders. Trump also posted trade penalties against Mexico
and Canada, where criminal gangs are producing more drugs for
export to the United States. Now, the vast death toll
from fetnol, much of which is manufactured in Mexico from
(22:04):
chemicals that were directly produced in China, is described in
multiple government reports. This is something that Biden administration knew,
and they didn't care that three hundred plus thousand Americans
were oding. Yet Biden's countermeasures were, by the way, all
tactical when he did act like he was acting, and
(22:26):
he put little or no pressure on Mexico and China
to stop the killing of Americans. In part, Biden's deputies,
including Border Chief my orchis they prioritize trade deals with
China and migration deals with Mexico over American lives. Let
(22:46):
me give you an example. In twenty twenty two, Biden's
deputies stayed mute when Texas Governor Greg Abbott uses power
over cross border inspections to force modest can sessions from
four Mexican regional governments. Unsurprisingly, Trump's efforts are being opposed
(23:08):
by pro illegal immigrant advocates who do not want to
recognize the huge death told to American citizens. For example,
Aaron boy at the Washington Post wrote this, President Donald
Trump's long promised tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico
are due to going to effect Tuesday. This despite fears
(23:29):
that the taxes on imports could cripple the economies of
our two neighboring allies and negatively impact the US economy
as well by exacerbating inflation. You notice they don't care
about American families being ripped apart by these synthetic drugs.
The New York Times wrote, for American families, the likely
(23:50):
result is higher prices nearly everywhere they turn, trying to
fear monger you that the grocery prices are more important
than your children's lives. They also want to talk about
car dealerships and electronics stores and iPhones and what you're
going to pay at the pump. The Wall Street Journal
even ignored the narcotics trade as it slammed Donald Trump's tariffs.
(24:13):
Good news is Donald Trump wasted no time responding to
the Wall Street Journal criticism, saying this quote the teriff lobby,
headed by the globalists and always wrong. Wall Street Journal
is working hard to justify countries like Canada, Mexico, China,
and too many others to name continue the decades long
(24:34):
ripoff of America, both with regard to trade, crime and
poisonous drugs that are allowed to so freely flow into America. China,
by the way, is also rejecting Trump's focus on fetnols, saying, Oh,
it's not a big deal, calm down. The President of
the United States of America, however, is saying, yes, this
(24:55):
is a battle worth fighting. Why because it's already cost
the lives of more than three one hundred thousand Americans.
Peter Navarro, by the way, went on Fox News Channel
with Brett Bair to talk exactly about this issue of fentanyl,
including Canada and what's happened on the northern border, also
the Mexican cartels. I want you to hear what he
(25:16):
had to say about the President not backing down.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
Tariffs are April second. What's happening now was triggered by
border and fentanyl. I understand all of that. But what's
happening is is now Canada is obviously hitting back. They're
taking the liquor off the shelves, They're they're threatening electricity
price increases. So they're hitting back and that people are
(25:39):
going to feel that we are taking off carmakers for
a month. There's a report that agriculture products are going
to be exempted.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Do you have that.
Speaker 5 (25:50):
I'm not tracking that now.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
No.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Okay, so we're making exemptions, but right now we're in
a bat but I think, look.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
We're going to be in a period of adjustment where
when we impose the reciprocal tariffs, or when we impose
tariffs that are designed to save American lives, there's going
to be segments like you just had with mister Forov,
and they're going to rattle their sabers, and but I
don't want to contribute to that. What I want to
say to every world leader who gets up in arms
(26:22):
when all we're asking for is fairness and to have
them stop killing our people, is please listen to us.
Canada could do a lot more. Canada has been taken
over Brett by Mexican cartels. They bring up, they bring
up these pill presses and printers and the medicines.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
That they fake.
Speaker 5 (26:43):
You can't tell the difference now many of our companies can.
You need a spectromer for it to do it. It's
crazy so and people are dying bread. It's been going
on for too long. And I'll give you another thing
just to make this point. It's like it all starts
in China, but then China brings these chemicals over in
fifty gallon drums, and you know what, when they get
(27:03):
to the ports, you know why that stuff isn't interdicted there.
It's because China owns the ports.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
You have metrics that you're going to set that they
have to meet this and then the tariffs go away.
I mean, do we publicly know what that threshold is?
Speaker 5 (27:19):
Well, there's seventy thousand Americas dying every year and that's
the low estimate because you don't pick up all the
deaths from the fake Xanta.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
So you're putting them all in Canada's No, of course,
not of.
Speaker 5 (27:30):
Course, not bread. But what we want to see is
Canada and Mexico crackdown on China. China for whatever reason,
and there's a lot of speculations whether they're meant mean
to do us harm with this.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
They don't seem to care.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
Okay, so it's up to Mexico and Canada to help
us do this. And look, here's the other thing. The
fenol crisis is so toxic to our economy bread because
most of the people are dying their prime age working.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
I think I think everybody's on board on the FED
threat and that fetanyl deaths. I think there are questions
about tariff policy that we're going to dig into as
it keeps on going on.
Speaker 5 (28:12):
That's why I'm here, Peter.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
We appreciate your time.
Speaker 5 (28:14):
Thank you, Brank you, I appreciate the time.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
So you hear Peter Navarro there, and let's go back
to what he mentioned like three or four times, was China.
Here's what China put out on X Today from their
spokesperson quote, the fetanyl issue is a flimsy excuse to
raise you of taris on Chinese imports. Our countermeasures to
defend our rights and interests are fully legitimate necessary. The US,
(28:39):
not anyone else, is responsible for the fetnal crisis inside
the US. In the spirit of humanity and goodwill towards
the American people, we have taken robust steps, China says
to assist the US in dealing with this issue. Instead
of recognizing our efforts, the US has sought to smear
and shift blame to China and is seeking the pressure
in blackmail China with tariff high. They've been pushing all
(29:02):
caps on US for helping them. This is not going
to solve the US's problem and will undermine our counter
narcotics dialogue and cooperation. China then said intimidation does not
scare US, Bullying does not work on US. Pressuring, cohersion
or threats are not the right way of dealing with China.
(29:22):
Anyone using maximum pressure on China is picking the wrong
guy and miscalculating. If the US truly wants to solve
the fetnal issue, then the right thing to do is
to consult with China by treating each other as equals.
If war is what the US wants, be it a
tear for a trade war, any other type of war,
(29:43):
We're ready to fight till the end. Does that sound
like a country that is actually trying to stop the
flow of illegal drugs in the US now? Because they're
making billions and billions and billions of dollars in profits
making the chemicals for most these synthetic drugs and then
giving them to the cartels to make them in Mexico
(30:05):
and other parts of the world. There is no doubt
that China is the lead of the drug trade, especially
when it comes to these types of fake pills. They
know it, and that's exactly why Donald Trump is trying
to stop them and willing to add tariffs until they
(30:26):
finally stop killing Americans at a record rate. Make sure

So after you do a Say of the Union, the
question is didn't land with the American people?
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Well? Void did it? Ever?
Speaker 1 (00:09):
CBS poll has come out and said that seventy six
percent approved of President Trump's address to Congress. I cannot
tell you how massive that actually is. The majority of
Americans overwhelmingly supporting Donald Trump's decisions, and viewers who watched
it said, yes, we approve of what Donald Trump had
(00:31):
to say in his speech, which was the longest Say
of the Union ever to that joint session of Congress
Tuesday night. Now, Trump boasted about the many accomplishments since
being inaugurated January twentieth, and exclaimed, we are just getting started.
Did the American people believe and support what the President
was saying? Yes, A whopping seventy six percent of those
(00:55):
watching said they approved of Trump's first second term speech
to Congress. And this is again coming from CBS News.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Now.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
One of the X factors of this is also just
how negative and honestly psycho the Democrats look. They wouldn't
even stand and clap when someone gets into West.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Point who had lost a loved one.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
They wouldn't stand and clap for a young boy who
has made a Secret Service agent. They wouldn't clap when
we talked about bringing actual terrorists to killed Americans at
ABU Gate to justice in the United States of America.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
And I'm going to have more on that list in
a moment.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
But that may be why the President landed this speech
so well, is because the American people could see just
how much the Democratic Party hates basic things that all
Americans should be in favor of.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
It shouldn't be a partisan issue.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
If you have a president saying we're bringing terrorists to justice,
it shouldn't be a partisans an issue. To stand for
a young boy who is fighting for his life with
cancer and surviving and then being made a sea you know, a.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Secret service agent.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
This is one of those moments that everyone should clap for,
and yet the Democrats refuse to stand. So let's get
to the poll numbers and really break this down. Not
only did ninety one percent say that Donald Trump spent
time on issues they cared about, meaning that is a
speech that laid it. Look, I've gotten to help on
(02:33):
a couple of different State of the Union addresses. And
if you walked into the presence at miss President, we
just wrote you a speech that ninety one percent of
the country is going to connect with and say that
you you talked about an issue they cared about. Let
me just tell you, you would be a god in
the political speech writing world. Okay, I've never seen a
speech to my knowledge that rated afterwards at ninety one percent.
(02:57):
That is the holy grail where one percent of the people
watching said, hey, you talked about something that I genuinely
cared about. Now, that is unbelievable on its face. But
then you go back to the other question, Okay, was
the speech something you watched for a long period of time.
That simply comes down to an issue of entertainment. Are
(03:20):
you engaged? Is the president speaking to you or is
he talking about things that you don't care about? Well,
ninety one percent said the president spend time on issues
that cared about, and then seventy four percent said the
address was presidential and also informative and entertaining.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
A total of seventy one.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Percent after that said the speech was inspiring to them. Now,
let's go back to speech writing here and say the unions,
when you're writing a speech like this, if you could
walk into any president say hey, I'm going to give
you a speech that ninety one percent are going to
say connected with them in a way. Seventy four percent
said that your address was quote presidential, and then seventy
(04:03):
one percent, mister President, said the speech was inspiring to them.
That is, these are numbers that I would literally argue
are virtually unobtainable. Here's where it gets even crazier than that.
Sixty two percent of the people watching the speech last
night said it was a unifying speech. Now, there are
a lot of moments in there where the Democratic Party
(04:25):
didn't clap and refuse to clap for things that I
just mentioned. And when you look at that, the American
people noticed it and they understood just how radical the
Democratic Party has become, how disgruntled they are, how angry
they are, and how they refuse to stand for anything
if there are Republicans involved in it, which is like
(04:46):
exactly what the American.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
People don't want.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Seventy one percent said they found the speech inspiring, sixty
two percent said it was unifying.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
And then here's the other part.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Half of Americans, right, we're very much a divided country.
Forty six percent said it was a divisive speech. Less
than half. That is an incredibly low number when a
country is divided, I would argue forty eight, forty eight.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
So what does that mean.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
It means the president connected with independent voters, and he
connected with actually a very large group of Democratic voters
or people that identify themselves as Democratic leaning. Now, when
asks how the speech makes them feel, and this is
about emotions and do you feel like the president is.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Connecting with you?
Speaker 1 (05:36):
This goes back to that I feel your pain comments
that were made so famous back in the day, right, like,
if the American people feel like you are listening to
them and that you are connecting with them, they will
tell you that number one, they'll trust you. Number two,
they'll give you a longer runway to deliver on some
of your promises. And they also feel like you are
(06:00):
connecting with them and their real struggles in life. It
goes back to the basic issues like it's the economy stupid.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
So when you look at.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
CBS suits asked how the speech made you feel, sixty
eight percent of Americans said they watched speech that the
speech made them feel hopeful. So almost seven out of
ten Americans that watched speech said that president made them
feel hopeful for better times. Fifty four percent, which is
more than the Republican Party.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Conservative voters said that the speech made them proud, twenty
seven percent said that speech made them worried, and sixteen
percent said they were angry. Now, let's be clear about
what that could mean. The angry could be your angry
as a Republican that the government has been wasting so
much your money when the President was running through the
list of all the waste fraud abuse, right the anger
(06:54):
could come from you watching the Democrats that wouldn't even
stand for us capturing terrorists and bring them to Joe
like things like that are refusing to stand for a
child in a moment of grief that turned into an
incredible moment of hope, right Like, that could make you
angry that the left was doing that. So the angry
category to have that low of a quote angry category
(07:16):
is actually very good for a speech. Now, when asked
whether the president has a clear plan to battle inflation,
and this comes back to policies, and it also goes
back to what I said a moment ago, it's the
economy stupid. When asked whether the president has a clear
plan to battle inflation, sixty eight percent said yes, and
(07:37):
thirty two percent said no. That means almost seven out
of ten Americans believe the president has a clear plan
to battle inflation.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
That is a home run now.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Respondents were also asked about Trump's plans for waste and
government seventy seven percent, so the number goes up even higher,
almost eight and ten Americans like the plan.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Just twenty three percent dislike it. What does that mean?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Democrats should pay attention to that number in office and
leaders of the Democratic Party and realized they need to
stop fighting against DOGE and embrace it because almost eight
out of ten voters seventy seven percent, so they like
Trump's plan for stopping.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Waste in government.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Immigration and the border another example, seventy seven percent, so
they support the presidents Almost eight out of ten Americans
say yes. Ukraine and Russia and the President standing up
and saying We're not sending any more money, We're not
going to send you these arms. We want peace. Well,
Democrats thought that was an issue that would help them.
It backfired massively. The President standing up to Zelenski, seventy
(08:39):
three percent of Americans that they were in favor of it.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
That's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Even on the issue of tariffs, these tariffs that the
presidents put in. Sixty five percent of Americans said they
support the president, and that means they're listening to the
president when he talks about these tariffs. Now, there's also
another issue of crime. Eight percent of Americans, so almost
seven out of ten voters said Trump described the country's
crime problem accurately, and seventy six percent said they approved
(09:09):
of Al Green, the Democrat, being removed from the chamber
after disrupting the President's speech. So all of the antics
of the Democrats last night backs fired in just the
most glorious way ever. Now, these numbers I just gave
you all came from CBS News, so they had to
have been on a suicide watch after they had to
(09:30):
report this as a news organization, because this is not
what they were hoping to tell you. If you thought
the Democrats were going to learn anything from Donald Trump's
speech or how America reacted to it with the incredible
poll numbers, well you'd be wrong, because they are all
now saying that they didn't do enough to disrupt the
(09:51):
President of the United States of America. Even ABC News
is Sunney Houston said all the Democrats should have walked out,
ring Donald Trump's address that on the view saying the
Democratic lawmakers should have I guess san Essence said, we're
standing with you. To the one man that actually was
booted from the night, Sonny Hostin said, you know, while
(10:14):
I didn't watch it, I was looking for signs of
an opposition party, which is what the Democratic Party must
be at this point, not a resistance because resistance is passive.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Opposition is active.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
I think that is what I saw when Representative Val
Green stood up and said, quote, you don't have a
mandate to take away Medicaid.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
And he was tossed out.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I expected the rest of his Democratic caucus, his colleagues,
to walk out with him, because alone you can survive,
but together you thrive. She went on to say later
in the program that quote, that is the energy that
we need. They should have stood with him in solidarity.
We had Jean p Here on this show yesterday and
(11:02):
she said, we have to have a sense of urgency
as we move forward, and we cannot do it the
way we have in the past. This is not normal.
It is a five alarm fire. And what I want
to say to the Democrats is you can't play by
the rules with a party that has thrown away the
rule book. You cannot do it now. This is coming
(11:25):
from the same people that tried to put Donald Trump
in prison and anyone else around him. They're the ones
that advocated for the raid of Marlago. They're the ones
that said that the people around January the sixth were
the same as terrorists that attack this country on nine
to eleven, you know, Sama bin Laden and al Qaeda.
These are also the same people that are now actively
(11:48):
advocating for anarchy or another word, democrats obsessed over insurrectionists.
Now it seems that the Democratic Party is calling for
exactly that anarchy, insurrection, but not from people outside the capital.
They're literally advocating for it by the people that have
been elected inside of our government. You may have also
(12:10):
seen during Donald Trump's joint address to Congress, the purple
haired congresswoman who went viral Tuesday night for scowling throughout
the entirety of President Donald Trump's addressed to Congress. Well,
she decided it was not enough just to scowl at
the president all night. She even put out a special
video on x saying this.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
I was really stunned that the election was fought over
the cost of living and people families who live paycheck
to paycheck, concerned about it whether or not they were
going to be able to pay their bills, be able
to pay for the healthcare in some cases, even putting
food on the table. And the addressed tonight didn't address
(12:53):
any of those issues about cost of living and the
fact that people live paycheck to paycheck, and what we
ought to be doing and the Congress is to make
sure that we are helping people to secure an economic
future for themselves and their families.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
By the way, let's just hit pause there and go
what to the CBS poll numbers actually did tell us
about the speech.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
The people watching the.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Speech definitely believe that the president was actually talking about
those things. In fact, when askedor the President had a
clear plan to battle inflation in the speech, sixty eight
percent said yes, and it was a plan that they
could get behind. So what is she actually complaining about.
She's complaining about the fact that Democratic Party lost the
(13:40):
last election. And that is when she tells you the
truth about how much she hates Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Keep listening.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
I found the speech to be vengeful, revengeful and instead
of being lifting the hopes and the aspirations of people
of the United States, of how we move forward as
a great nation that we are, what the vision for
(14:07):
our future was. It devolved into just vindictiveness and self
agilation on behalf of Donald Trump did not address the
issue of unchecked billionaires like his friend Ally and Elon Musk.
(14:35):
It was not a speech befitting a great world leader
or a great president of the United States.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
So there you have it.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
They're angry about Elon Musk cutting their waist, their fraud
and their abuse. They're also angry to Elon Musk for
apparently being wealthy, but they have no problem with George
Soros or any of the other billionaires on the left
that have been financing this type of quote anarchy and
revengeful vengefulness to quote her. So at the end of
(15:07):
the day, if you thought Democrats were going to learn
from their mistakes, apparently they're not at all, and that
may actually be a good thing for Donald Trump and
his agenda.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
So let's just go back to the other.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Big moment in the night for the Democratic Party, and
that was when there is a guy by the name
of Representative Al Green. He had unruly behavior that clearly
he had premeditated and decided to yell at the President
United States of America. He was warned that he was
breaking the rules. He obviously wanted to be kicked out
(15:40):
of the Joint Session of Congress. He was successful at
doing that, and now he is a leader and some
sort of hero for the left. So will anything be done?
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Well?
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Now we know that the House of Representatives has moved
to advance the censure of Representative Algreen, that Democrat from Texas,
after his behavior during Donald Trump's address to Congress on
Tuesday night. The vote, though, shows that Democrats yet again
have learned nothing. It was a two eleven to two
oh nine vote. The House voted to move forward with
(16:13):
the censorship of Green after the House Sergeant arms escort
him out over his refusal to follow decorum during the speech.
Every member of Congress knows what that decorum is. House
Speaker Mike Johnson interrupted Donald Trump's speech as Democrats began
exhibiting unrually behavior, and he warned them that they needed
(16:33):
to quote observe the House decorum, mister President. Members are
directed to uphold and maintain decorum in the House and
to cease any further disruptions. Johnson said that's your warning.
When Democrats continued to exhibit the behavior, Johnson warned them
that the Chair was prepared to direct the Sergeant of
(16:53):
Arms to restore order to the Joint Session. Members are
engaging in willful quoting, continued breach of decorum, and the
Chair is prepared to direct the Sergeant Arms to restore
the order to the joint Session. Johnson told Green to
take a seat several times before directing the Sergeant Arms
to restore that order, and he was removed. Well, Democrats,
(17:16):
they apparently think this is some brave and big and
bold moment, because all of the Democrats voted to say no,
we're not going to actually enforce the rules of the House. Instead,
we're going to say no to censuring one of our own.
And in the aftermath of the incident, Representative Dan Newhouse,
a Republican from Washington State, introduced a resolution a censor
(17:39):
Green over his behavior. The resolution says, whereas the conduct
of represented from Texas disrupted the proceedings of the Joint
Address and was a breach of proper conduct. And whereas,
after numerous disruptions, the represented from Texas had to be
removed from the chamber by the Sergeant at arms. Now,
therefore be it resolved that Representative out Green be censured.
(18:01):
The Democrats were reported as having tried to table the
resolution known as House Resolution one eighty nine, but the
move to table ended up being rejected, and so that
is when the vote came in. So I go back
to what I said a moment ago. When you have
one hundred and nine Democrats that know that Algreen should
(18:23):
be censured for what he did, and they all stand
with them. Not only are they clearly out of touch
with reality, but they're incredibly out of touch with what
the American people want and what they care about.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
I go back to the CBS poll.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Seventy six percent approved of what Donald Trump said. More
than ninety percent said the President talked about a major
issue that affected their life that was important to them.
The overwhelming majority said they trust the present when it
comes to cutting waste, fraud and abuse abuse would doeach,
(19:00):
and they also approve of the President's plan to cut
the on issues like inflation. You look at Democrats and
what are they focused on disrupting a present that the
American people are behind with a massive mandate, and what
are they also in favor of?
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Well, if they don't get their way.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
They want to put you in jail, they want to
lock you up, they want to silence you, and they
want you to kick them out of the House of
Representatives like there's some sort of heroes.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
I don't think the American people, however, are going to
fall for this at all.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
It's very important that you understand what's going on with
Donald Trump using tariffs to protect American lives. There's a
lot of misinformation out there about the President and the
tariffs that have just gone into effect, and I want
you to understand why. First off, the President is actually
doing this. You may not no, but President Joe Biden
(20:02):
did very little on fighting to protect Americans from FETNL.
FETNAL smugglers killed roughly three hundred thousand Americans during his
time in office. That is exactly why President Trump has
quickly imposed painful tariffs on countries that are helping those
(20:23):
smugglers that killed again three hundred thousand Americans during the
Biden administration.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Quote.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
I determined that the failure of the Government of the
People's Republic of China to act to blunt the sustained
influx of synthetic opioids, including fetnel flowing from the Chinese
Republic to the United States constituted an unusual and extraordinary
threat to the national security, foreign policy, an economy of
(20:58):
the United States of America. That is what Donald Trump
declared in his March third Order. He also went on
to say this in recognition of the fact that China
has not taken adequate steps to alleviate the illicit drug crisis.
Section two A of Executive Order fourteen nineteen five is
(21:18):
hereby amended by striking the words ten percent and inserting
in lieu thereof the words twenty percent. The order is
titled Further Amendment to Duties Addressing the Synthetic Opioid Supply
Chain in the People's Republic of China. Now, this isn't
the only place we're having problems when it comes to
(21:40):
Americans dying because of the drugs that are pouring across
the open borders. Trump also posted trade penalties against Mexico
and Canada, where criminal gangs are producing more drugs for
export to the United States. Now, the vast death toll
from fetnol, much of which is manufactured in Mexico from
(22:04):
chemicals that were directly produced in China, is described in
multiple government reports. This is something that Biden administration knew,
and they didn't care that three hundred plus thousand Americans
were oding. Yet Biden's countermeasures were, by the way, all
tactical when he did act like he was acting, and
(22:26):
he put little or no pressure on Mexico and China
to stop the killing of Americans. In part, Biden's deputies,
including Border Chief my orchis they prioritize trade deals with
China and migration deals with Mexico over American lives. Let
(22:46):
me give you an example. In twenty twenty two, Biden's
deputies stayed mute when Texas Governor Greg Abbott uses power
over cross border inspections to force modest can sessions from
four Mexican regional governments. Unsurprisingly, Trump's efforts are being opposed
(23:08):
by pro illegal immigrant advocates who do not want to
recognize the huge death told to American citizens. For example,
Aaron boy at the Washington Post wrote this, President Donald
Trump's long promised tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico
are due to going to effect Tuesday. This despite fears
(23:29):
that the taxes on imports could cripple the economies of
our two neighboring allies and negatively impact the US economy
as well by exacerbating inflation. You notice they don't care
about American families being ripped apart by these synthetic drugs.
The New York Times wrote, for American families, the likely
(23:50):
result is higher prices nearly everywhere they turn, trying to
fear monger you that the grocery prices are more important
than your children's lives. They also want to talk about
car dealerships and electronics stores and iPhones and what you're
going to pay at the pump. The Wall Street Journal
even ignored the narcotics trade as it slammed Donald Trump's tariffs.
(24:13):
Good news is Donald Trump wasted no time responding to
the Wall Street Journal criticism, saying this quote the teriff lobby,
headed by the globalists and always wrong. Wall Street Journal
is working hard to justify countries like Canada, Mexico, China,
and too many others to name continue the decades long
(24:34):
ripoff of America, both with regard to trade, crime and
poisonous drugs that are allowed to so freely flow into America. China,
by the way, is also rejecting Trump's focus on fetnols, saying, Oh,
it's not a big deal, calm down. The President of
the United States of America, however, is saying, yes, this
(24:55):
is a battle worth fighting. Why because it's already cost
the lives of more than three one hundred thousand Americans.
Peter Navarro, by the way, went on Fox News Channel
with Brett Bair to talk exactly about this issue of fentanyl,
including Canada and what's happened on the northern border, also
the Mexican cartels. I want you to hear what he
(25:16):
had to say about the President not backing down.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
Tariffs are April second. What's happening now was triggered by
border and fentanyl. I understand all of that. But what's
happening is is now Canada is obviously hitting back. They're
taking the liquor off the shelves, They're they're threatening electricity
price increases. So they're hitting back and that people are
(25:39):
going to feel that we are taking off carmakers for
a month. There's a report that agriculture products are going
to be exempted.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Do you have that.
Speaker 5 (25:50):
I'm not tracking that now.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
No.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Okay, so we're making exemptions, but right now we're in
a bat but I think, look.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
We're going to be in a period of adjustment where
when we impose the reciprocal tariffs, or when we impose
tariffs that are designed to save American lives, there's going
to be segments like you just had with mister Forov,
and they're going to rattle their sabers, and but I
don't want to contribute to that. What I want to
say to every world leader who gets up in arms
(26:22):
when all we're asking for is fairness and to have
them stop killing our people, is please listen to us.
Canada could do a lot more. Canada has been taken
over Brett by Mexican cartels. They bring up, they bring
up these pill presses and printers and the medicines.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
That they fake.
Speaker 5 (26:43):
You can't tell the difference now many of our companies can.
You need a spectromer for it to do it. It's
crazy so and people are dying bread. It's been going
on for too long. And I'll give you another thing
just to make this point. It's like it all starts
in China, but then China brings these chemicals over in
fifty gallon drums, and you know what, when they get
(27:03):
to the ports, you know why that stuff isn't interdicted there.
It's because China owns the ports.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
You have metrics that you're going to set that they
have to meet this and then the tariffs go away.
I mean, do we publicly know what that threshold is?
Speaker 5 (27:19):
Well, there's seventy thousand Americas dying every year and that's
the low estimate because you don't pick up all the
deaths from the fake Xanta.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
So you're putting them all in Canada's No, of course,
not of.
Speaker 5 (27:30):
Course, not bread. But what we want to see is
Canada and Mexico crackdown on China. China for whatever reason,
and there's a lot of speculations whether they're meant mean
to do us harm with this.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
They don't seem to care.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
Okay, so it's up to Mexico and Canada to help
us do this. And look, here's the other thing. The
fenol crisis is so toxic to our economy bread because
most of the people are dying their prime age working.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
I think I think everybody's on board on the FED
threat and that fetanyl deaths. I think there are questions
about tariff policy that we're going to dig into as
it keeps on going on.
Speaker 5 (28:12):

Speaker 1 (28:16):
So you hear Peter Navarro there, and let's go back
to what he mentioned like three or four times, was China.
Here's what China put out on X Today from their
spokesperson quote, the fetanyl issue is a flimsy excuse to
raise you of taris on Chinese imports. Our countermeasures to
defend our rights and interests are fully legitimate necessary. The US,
(28:39):
not anyone else, is responsible for the fetnal crisis inside
the US. In the spirit of humanity and goodwill towards
the American people, we have taken robust steps, China says
to assist the US in dealing with this issue. Instead
of recognizing our efforts, the US has sought to smear
and shift blame to China and is seeking the pressure
in blackmail China with tariff high. They've been pushing all
(29:02):
caps on US for helping them. This is not going
to solve the US's problem and will undermine our counter
narcotics dialogue and cooperation. China then said intimidation does not
scare US, Bullying does not work on US. Pressuring, cohersion
or threats are not the right way of dealing with China.
(29:22):
Anyone using maximum pressure on China is picking the wrong
guy and miscalculating. If the US truly wants to solve
the fetnal issue, then the right thing to do is
to consult with China by treating each other as equals.
If war is what the US wants, be it a
tear for a trade war, any other type of war,
(29:43):
We're ready to fight till the end. Does that sound
like a country that is actually trying to stop the
flow of illegal drugs in the US now? Because they're
making billions and billions and billions of dollars in profits
making the chemicals for most these synthetic drugs and then
giving them to the cartels to make them in Mexico
(30:05):
and other parts of the world. There is no doubt
that China is the lead of the drug trade, especially
when it comes to these types of fake pills. They
know it, and that's exactly why Donald Trump is trying
to stop them and willing to add tariffs until they
(30:26):
finally stop killing Americans at a record rate. Make sure
