This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. Christians not got a free shot. All these networks lying about the people, the people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen. And where do people like that go to share the big lie?

I wish that any of these people had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

It's Liberation day. That's Wednesday, the 2nd of April, the year of our Lord 2025. I believe we just heard one of the top two or three most powerful speeches that President Trump's ever given. And today to really reset the global geoeconomic order is nothing short of breathtaking. And President Trump went for an hour. It started just about after 4:00. I think almost the entire Eric Bolling show was encapsulated by this. The President walked through his logic, walked through his political career, walked through how this issue had bothered him for decade after decade after decade as a private citizen, how he'd been talking about it since the 1980s with Japan, talked about the success of his, of his first term, both politically and how this resonated up in the upper Midwest when we pierced the blue veil, what they called the blue wall, I guess Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin in those days also included really taking Iowa, particularly the industrial kind of eastern half of Iowa and Ohio. And then he laid out, and I thought this was probably the most powerful, he called it an economic declaration of independence. And he took the time, although it's not full reciprocity. I think he used a term in there called kind reciprocity or kind reciprocal. So he didn't go full reciprocity. He also laid out for all the countries he was doing this for that it would be, it could get reversed by them lowering their tariffs. He went through country by country and laid out on both the tariffs themselves and the non tariff barriers which drive up the price or drive up the cost of American goods getting in there and walk through what it was from India, from Japan, you know, from our allies, the eu. He said the eu. The day the EU rippings off is over, he talked about one of the purposes of this is to bring large scale, high value added manufacturing back to the United States. In short, it was everything that I. It's one of the proudest I've ever been of working with. And for President Trump, just incredible. This really was Liberation Day. It's going to affect immediately tonight. And here's the other thing. He had UAW teams, he had union working people, particularly from Macomb county, which is the railhead of the Reagan Democrats that really gave the 1980 election to President Reagan and really changed the direction of our nation. Cheers after cheer after cheer from union workers, from working class Americans supporting President Trump in this. And just the power of it, I thought was almost overwhelming. MSNBC cut away. CNN played it through all the way to the end. I think Fox played it all the way through the end. Of course, Real America's Voice, MSNBC had to cut in 2/3 of the way to it and start ripping on Trump. Prices are going to go up after the cheers of working people. And this is what's happened in the Democratic Party after all those cheers of working class people and working people, they're just sitting there. They're giving you the exact mantra of Wall street, the exact mantra of the people who shipped the jobs overseas. Who shipped the jobs overseas. This also gets back to what Scott Bessen said. The Constitution doesn't say that for American citizens or the Declaration of Independence, that the pursuit of happiness is just a lot of cheap stuff. It's also a well paying job that you can consider a career. Once again, on MSNBC today, they had panelists and one panelist broke in and said, look, I've gone around the country, I've talked to people and when I asked them, is your concern here high prices or is it better paying jobs with real futures and real benefits? She said to a person, they said, hey, we support President Trump because he's going to bring good paying jobs back and manufacturing jobs back and jobs that have benefits, health care and others he's going to bring. That's what President Trump is aiming to bring back. And we're with him. He saw in the Rose Garden today. The other thing about the stagecraft, I absolutely love the fact that they had the American flags hanging from all the different pillars outside the Oval Office right in back where President Trump stands, he's in the Rose Garden and with his back right to that side of the Oval Office that opens out into the windows. They had, they had these amazing American flags. All the pillars between the pillars, the space between the pillars were covered with these flags. Quite dramatic. And President Trump was just on point. It was an Incredible, incredible speech. It will go down in history because he said, hey, today's Declaration of Economic Independence. And he means that. And he walked through. And he didn't blame one country. He said he didn't blame them for having the tariffs they had. He didn't blame them for having the tariff barriers. He blamed. He looked, he said. He blamed the people that had been in that office, the Oval Office that allowed him to get away with it. And you know why that happened? The lobbyists. This system is rigged against American workers in the American middle class. It's rigged against you. Virtually every element of it is rigged against you. And since Reagan, and even more than Reagan, much more than Reagan, you've got a guy in there, for all his imperfections, is unrigging the system. He's shattering the system. Remember, they dared him to have this day. Why did he call it. Why did Trump raise the stakes, as he always does, and call it Liberation Day? This is. He's trying to liberate the country itself and her citizens from a rigged domestic and international systems that has been put in place by globalists that have enriched them and made you a pauper, because you all are a pauper. Spencer Morrison with the amazing book Reshore. Spencer is with us. We're going to be playing clips. I have Mike Davis. I was honored to go and spend today over at a tech conference and really talk about antitrust and bringing down the oligarchs and standing up for the little guys. Spencer, I want your first cut. Walk me through what we didn't go. So they had two choices. Full reciprocity, the whole reciprocal, or do these kind of tranches at 20% here, 20% there. I can tell you, I know President Trump never felt comfortable with just the tranches. He wanted to go full reciprocal. But I do think some people say, hey, look, some of this could be harsh. Boom. And I believe he called it kind. Trump can come up with kind, reciprocal. Walk me through your assessment, sir. What choice did. What did he pick? Did he pick column A or column B? What do we have? And in your assessment, because you're one of the smartest guys about this, where do you put this as far as important? Is this truly a day of liberation for American workers?
