This is a real good story about Bronx and his dad, Ryan, real United Airlines customers. We were returning home and one of the flight attendants asked Bronx if he wanted to see the flight deck and meet Kath and Andrew. I got to sit in the driver's seat. I grew up in an aviation family, and seeing Bronx kind of reminded me of myself when I was that age. That's Andrew, a real United pilot. These small interactions can shape a kid's future. It felt like I was the captain. Allowing my son to see the flight deck will stick with us forever. That's how good leads the way. Hablas spritz du dzoich? Com d'. Unosc.

You're listening to the no Spin News Talking Points edition. So the talking points this evening is President Trump's moderation over the weekend. Okay, interesting. So there's four areas. The first are in tariffs. And I had always said when the tariffs took place that we would not know if they were successful till the end of the year. Well, the end of the year is about here. They have been successful in raising money for America. They have not been successful in driving down prices. So it's a split decision. And the prices are what's going to hold up the Trump administration for the next 12 months. You got to get them down and win the midterms. Okay, so over the weekend, President Trump said he's going to drop tariffs on beef, coffee, tropical fruit, bananas, avocados, coconuts, pineapples, oranges, tomatoes, pepper, limes, vanilla beans, mangoes, fertilizers, and other stuff. This is an attempt to drive grocery store prices down. Now, I learned over the weekend that the reason that beef steak and ground beef is so high is because we used to buy a lot of Mexican meat, but we can't now because there's some kind of parasite thing down there. And the United States Agricultural Division says they can't import Mexican beef. Right away. The price of beef goes up. It's all about supply and demand, as you know. Okay, I didn't know that, but some hideous bug or something that has infected the cattle in Mexico and we can't buy that cattle. Boom. Our prices for beef go up. That's what that Argentinian thing was all about. So now we're going to buy beef from Argentina. I don't know. It might be too late on the beef front. The others, I think, will fall pretty fast. Okay, so I can afford anything I want to eat. I'm lucky, fortunate, and I know it. But I'm not eating a lot of steak and ground beef. You know, I. I'm doing it to do my part to drive prices down. I eat chicken, fish, shellfish, shrimp, you know, that kind of thing. But I can't remember the last time I ordered a $75 steak in a restaurant. No. And again, I can afford it. But if everybody thought the way that I did meet prices would not be nearly as high. So that's just me. I mean, that's what I do. All right, so that's a change. The tariffs are being lifted to try to get American food prices down. Second, Mamdani. So you remember that President Trump called him a communist and he was going to withhold all federal funds from New York and drive this guy nuts. That was on November 3rd. Truth Social. Well, over the weekend, he said, well, I'm going to work out a meeting with Mamdani. Mamdani wants to meet with Trump. Course you would. Billions of dollars of federal money flows into New York City. So there'll probably be a meeting. Here's what the President said, quote, the mayor of New York would like to meet with us. We'll work something out. He'll come to Washington. We want to see everything work out well for New York. Moderation. Right. So Mamdani will probably get his. His meeting. And here, this was a surprise. Not that wasn't surprising to me. But this one was Maduro, the dictator. Heinous dictator, awful in Venezuela. So as you know, the United States moving, the USS Forward aircraft carrier down there and other ships, saber rattling about Maduro. Well, now the President is saying he considered talks with Maduro. Maduro's desperate. He knows his life is like this. So Maduro will have to talk to him. And I don't think there's going to be a lot of moderation here. I think President Trump will say, look, time to get out, Nick. We'll let you go where you want, but you're not going to be there much longer. Go the hard way or the easy way. That's probably what that conversation is going to be. Okay. I'm guessing don't have any direct knowledge, but I know President Trump as well as anybody knows him, and I would think that would be the message. But he won't deliver that message. The president won't, until he sees Maduro face to face. Okay. That's not going to be a public thing. Finally, Epstein and this situation the President was against when I talked to him on St Patrick's Day of this year. He wasn't against releasing the data from Epstein that the Department of Justice has, because we talked about it, that he was against releasing it. Now he's not against releasing it again. But who knows? Tomorrow this changes back and forth, but here's what you need to know. President Trump knows exactly what the DOJ has. Exactly. I understand there are a few references to him in the Epstein data, but they're not any. Anything that would be embarrassing or bad. And this is the problem, that Epstein knew thousands of people and associated at a very high level with people in New York City. If you just dump the data, then all of those names will be out there, and then people who don't like those names will try to hurt other people, families, too. That's what I told President Trump. If it's vetted, for example, Epstein flew down to the Virgin Islands where he owned property. There's a manifest that has to be filed. If your name's on the manifest, that comes out. Justice Department got to put it out. That's vetted information. You're on a plane with Epstein. I have no compunction about that. And then if the press asks you why you're on a plane, you got to tell them, okay, but if you're just in a meeting with Epstein and five, seven other guys or gals, and you don't have anything to do with them, it was a business meeting of some kind. Why should your name be put in that poison ground? That's why I told Cuomo on Wednesday. You might remember that Chris Cuomo on News Nation. I said, look, you know, you can use this stuff to smear people, to really hurt them. Cuomo said, I don't care. I want to see it. And I said, well, that's not right. And he goes, no, let the people decide. How can the people decide? We don't have investigative abilities, a subpoena, invest, subpoena privileges. We don't know. All we know is what's there. We can't put it into context. And the Justice Department is not going to get down A thousand names and explain every one of them because they don't even know half them. Let's face it, the US economy is under stress. National debt rising, trade war shaking the markets. And meanwhile China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold. That's why I protected my savings with physical gold and silver through the only dealer I trust, American Hartford Gold. And you can do this.

It'll get more out of control and we'll report on it honestly. So anyway, Those are the four moderations over the weekend. Tonight the President addresses McDonald's owners, operators and suppliers in Washington. He's got to talk about beef, right? McDonald lives and dies off beef. So that's what's going on tonight. You're listening to a special edition of the no Spin News. The Talking points memo is about the Don Row doctrine. So everybody knows about the Monroe Doctrine. 1823 President James Monroe basically saying to all the European powers, hey, the Western hemisphere is our, the United States of America's sphere of influence. You stay out. James Monroe, not particularly a macho man, not particularly a strong president, but here he dug in because they in Washington D.C. didn't want Britain coming back or France or Spain or Portugal or Holland or whoever setting up shop here. All right? Now they couldn't prevent it totally because there were colonies, you know, in South America. Everybody, every country speaks Spanish except Portugal. Except Brazil. They speak Portuguese. Why? Because Portugal ran Brazil and all the other South American countries are run by Spain. And that's where the language difference comes. So Monroe basically said, hold it. We're going to take unilateral action if you get out of line. Now, we have a lot of countries in this hemisphere getting out of line. Enter Donald Trump with the Don Row doctrine. Very serious. Okay? There are four nations that are deeply involved in the drug trafficking. They are Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador. And they are killing those nations, millions of people all over the world and hundreds of thousands here in America over the last five years. I'll give you the stats in a moment. So the President of the United States has moved the USS Gerald Ford, our largest strike carrier, to the Caribbean. And he has sent with that aircraft carrier eight Navy surface ships, okay? 15,000American troops and the Air Force based out of Puerto Rico, flying around the clock USF 35 stealth bombers. This is a serious business. And he sent in a message to all four of those countries. Better knock it off. Now, in two of the countries, Venezuela, Maduro, and Colombia, has got a left wing President. The U.S. intel says those leaders are trafficking drugs. They're making money trafficking drugs. Okay? There's not that accusation against Sheinbaum in Mexico or Obra d' or before her, although Obra d', Or, I'm telling you, shaky. But Sheinbaum, there is not that accusation. But she will not stand up to the cartels which control more than a third of the country outright. Control it. So there's no police, no military. It's cartels. Scheinbaud does nothing. She's afraid for her own personal safety. If I were her, I resign and I'd move someplace else. Because you shouldn't be the president of a country if you're afraid of the criminal element. Come on. So it's up to the United States to do something about it. But many Americans don't want to. President Biden had no interest at all in this. None. He helped the drug cartels. He opened the border so they could make more money. With the flood of narcotics coming in here, including fentanyl, I didn't care. Didn't care what they did. They ran wild for four years. Trump cares. And I talked about this with the president one on one in a dinner in his first term. And I said, the only way you're going to stop this is using the US Military. So President Trump designated the drug cartels as terrorists. That means he doesn't have to get congressional approval to take military action. Against them. And so far, 22 vessels have been blown out of the Caribbean Sea in the Pacific. 83 people, at least, dead. Democratic party doesn't like it. Rand Paul, a Republican senator from Kentucky, doesn't like it. They want due process. Well, it's impossible. Due process doesn't work. It never works when you have international smuggling operations. So you either want to solve the problem or you don't. There's only one way to solve it, and that is to eliminate the terrorists who are running the cartels. And that's what is happening now. Americans are very, very slow to catch on. If you go out today after watching this broadcast and you say, hey, what about the Don Row doctrine? You know what's going on? What? What? Because the networks and the cable are too busy reporting about Epstein. What might be the. Oh, yeah, no, no. Hey, we're setting ourselves up for a military conflict here. Nah, come on. We gotta get Epstein. So the cartels in Mexico, they kill hundreds of thousands of people down there, and nobody is safe. They'll kill a governor and the mayor and the journalists, everybody. And the judges can't sentence them because they'll get killed. And not only do the cartels kill the people, they kill their families. Come on. Come on. By the end of 2023, in Venezuela, the blood was flowing because Maduro was, according to U.S. intel, working with the drug cartels. It was murder after murder after murder, and none of them solved. And the same thing in Colombia. Colombia, A country on the Caribbean Sea. All right, and then it does have Pacific port. They get $15 billion. $15 billion a year they make from drug trafficking in Colombia. Ecuador has the highest murder rate in the Western hemisphere. Do you know that? Once peaceful country, Galapagos, right off Guayaquil. Not now. Murder everywhere. Okay? So that's where we are. And in America itself, We Americans spend more than $100 billion a year on illegal narcotics. 100 billion. We are the problem. We are enriching the cartels. 500,000Americans at least have died from drug overdoses in the past five years. Half a million. Okay? And still nothing being done about it. Some dealers are put in jail, some not. Here in New York City, you can sell heroin on the street, you won't get anything. Drug addicts run wild. They sit there and inject themselves in front of school children. They steal. They shoplift, they prostitute themselves. They're homeless. Most of the homeless are drug addicted. They ruin neighborhoods. They pollute the environment. Nothing happens to them. Nothing. It used to be America would sanction those Drug addicts. But now, hey, it's Sean Spicer reminding you to tune into the Sean Spicer show every weeknight right here. You're not going to want to miss our analysis. Whether it's the media, politics, campaigns, the upcoming midterms, Supreme Court rulings, we've got it all covered for you with the best guests in politics, the pundits, the pollsters, members of the House of Representatives, members of the Senate, candidates running for both, and key members of President Trump's administration. You're not going to want to miss it. Hey, this is Sarah. Look, I'm standing out front of a.m. p.m. Right now and, well, you're sweet and all, but I found something more fulfilling, even kind of cheesy. But I like it. Sure, you met some of my dietary needs, but they've just got it all. So farewell. Oatmeal. So long, you strange soggy. Break up with bland breakfast and taste AM PM's bacon, egg and cheese biscuit made with K tree eggs, smoked bacon and melty cheese on a buttery biscuit. AM P M. Too much. Good stuff. Progressive left. No, no. It's a disease. No treatment. Most of the drug addicts, according to every study, don't want treatment. They want to get high. They want to live their lives in a state of inebriation. That's what they want. And if they have to steal, they'll steal. Child abuse and neglect because many of these drug addicts have children off the chart. The state do anything once in a while, take the kids away, and then where do the kids go? Some lousy foster home because the parents are high. It just drives me nuts, okay? Because this country is responsible for all of this horror. And if you're buying drugs, you are helping a cartel, okay? So I expect Trump to continue to track crackdown. He's got three years left. He hates this stuff because his brother died of alcoholism. And I've had addiction, alcoholism in my family as well. And I hate this stuff. And I'm glad the President listened to me when I had that conversation with him and what was it, six years ago? So, one way, only way. And now it's happening. And that's a memo. You're listening to a special edition of the no Spin News. So the Prime Minister, Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman, comes to the usa, big dog and pony show. Sorry about the cliche. And Salman and Trump are buddies. Salman's investing $1 trillion into the USA. So he says, all right, so they go all over what they're going to do, and we'll get into that in a moment. But they're having a good time. Big dinner last night and today. It carried over to today. This is big because Saudi Arabia is extremely wealthy, can help the USA economically, can help the USA with Putin and Iran. So they're our pals now under Biden. They were not our pals, which is a better situation, I think, you know. So there is President Trump, most powerful man in the world, sitting next to Bin Salman, who doesn't believe in the free press at all. And if you ever were rude to him in Saudi Arabia, your head would be rolling in the sand. Alright. Enter chief White House correspondent for ABC News, Mary Bruce. Okay. Now she's been on the case since 2021. She is a notorious Trump baiter. And Mary did not let us down yesterday. Roll the tape. Is it appropriate, Mr. President, for your family to be doing business in Saudi Arabia while you're President? Is that a conflict of interest? And your royal highness, the US Intelligence concluded that you orchestrated the brutal murder of a journalist. 911 families are furious that you are here in the Ohio. Who you with? Who are you? Why shouldn't they argue? Who are you with? And the same to you, Mr. President. Now, who are you with? I'm with ABC News, sir. You're with who? ABC News, sir. Fake News. ABC Fake news. One of the worst. One of the worst in the business. But I'll answer your question. Thank you. I have nothing to do with the family business I have left. And when I've devoted 100% of my energy, what my family does is fine. They do business all over. They've done very little with Saudi Arabia, actually. I'm sure they could do a lot. Okay. Now the questions were legitimate. I would have asked them, but not in the accusatory way Ms. Bruce did. She was not looking to elicit information. This is the key. When you are a White House correspondent or any other valid repertorial job, your task is to get information to the American public. That is not what Mary Bruce wanted to do. She wanted to. Gotcha. She wanted to embarrass. You could hear it in her voice, the tone. Where was it? Now here's what she could have said. All right? This is what she could have said. Mr. President, in a calm manner. Is there any validity to your critics saying that your family is making big money in Saudi Arabia? Simple question. Any validity to that? It's not accusatory. And then to the leader of Saudi Arabia, you know, Mr. Crown Prince or Mr. Whatever you want to call it, is there Any validity to the United States intelligence operations believing that your government assassinated a journalist, said yes or no, and you could follow up with a why or why not, depending on the answer. Does that make sense to you? That's how professionals do it. That's how I've done it for more than 50 years. But I've made mistakes and I'm going to go over one of those mistakes that I think you'll find interesting. But President Trump knows that. Mary Bruce, NBC, CBS, to a lesser extent, now that it's been sold. CNN, MS, now, whatever it is, he knows they're in business to embarrass him, not to get information, yet he still gives them access. I, for me, I wouldn't, you know, I just wouldn't do it because the Saudis already feel that the American system is ridiculous, or the Chinese. So does Putin. Again, if you tried that, if Mary Bruce tried that in Rihad Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, you might not be around much too long there. So why, why does President Trump allow this stuff to happen time after time after time after time? And I think he just likes the joust. I think he wants to show his supporters that he's not going to take any bs, that he'll kick back. I think that's what it is. But we've got it now and these are important things. So summing up, not going to change. You got three more years of this. I do respect President Trump being accessible to them. Press, I mean, Biden, forget it. Never in a million years get an answer out of him. And I was wrong. That's not what democracy is. Attention, podcast people.

So if you're ready to push back, ready to stand tall, ready to laugh at the madness, then hit subscribe. Harry Cole Saves the West right now available wherever you get your podcasts. The fight back starts here. And yes, bring the popcorn. You're listening to a special edition of the no Spin News. Okay. Marist Pole. I went to Marist College. It's now Marist University. Not the place that I attended. Much more liberal now. It's okay. You want to go there, you go there. My. I was going to say a cliche cup of tea, but I'm not going to do that. But anyway, they have a poll, and it is not a very good poll. And I'm hoping, because I know some people who work the poll, that it gets better. For example, last year for the presidential vote, they had Harris up by 4 going into election Day. Come on. I mean, you got to do better than that. Anyway, they conducted a poll this month on what's likely to be the big issue in the presidential election going forward. 28. Here it is. Lowering prices 57%, no surprise. Controlling immigration. 16. Reducing crime. 9. Ending the war between Ukraine and Russia. 7, Maintaining peace between Israel and Gaza. 6. So there's no doubt about it, President Trump and his administration, if they want to hold the House and Senate next November, they got to get the prices down of insurance, health care, car, house, and food. Not that far away on the food. The opposition, of course, is hysterical. It's only about 3%, but it's up. And oil is down, but it's up to them. They know. Everybody knows. This is not a secret. Another poll, Gallup. Almost 20,000 U.S. adults. Do you think Americans pay too much, too little, or about right? The quality of health care they receive? Pay too much. 90%. Too little, too about right? 8, 90%. That's a health care thing. And boy, oh, boy, Republicans have got to get on it. How concerned are you, your household, be able to pay for needed prescription drugs next 12 months? Extremely concerned, somewhat concerned. Totals 37%. Okay. Most people think they can make it. And how much stress does health care put on you and your family? 52%. Say a lot or some. 49. Not much. But it is a very compelling issue. Got to get that health insurance, insurance premiums, Medicaid and Medicare spending under control, and that includes Obamacare. Okay, So I have to cover both parties. I favor the Republican Party now because it upholds traditional values like capitalism, like punishing criminals, like controlling borders, whereas the Democratic Party does not support that. However, I have to be fair, and I will be. And I'm going to be ruthless in how I cover the next 12 months because the Republicans have power now. But I'm not seeing a health care proposal on table, are you? So Johnson and Thune, the two big boys in Congress, Better get something going now. One area that is beyond dispute as far as Trump's effectiveness is concerned is foreign affairs. It is Joe Biden's birthday today. We're going to deal with that in the history segment. Is 83 years old, but Biden was the second worst president ever. If you read Confronting the Presidents, document that all day long and I'll do it again tonight, I'll document why I believe that Trump has been very, very effective overseas. Extremely so. Anybody who denies that is just not being honest. And I wouldn't be debating anybody about it. Even cnn. All right. Says, hey, Trump's approval on foreign policy has dropped from 35% in his first term to 43% today. Roll the tape. We're talking about 43% now. That's an 8 point rise on the net approval rating. We're talking about a double digit rise. The American people like much more of what they're seeing from Donald Trump in foreign policy in term two than they did in term number one. Just for your frame of reference, Bush the younger stood at 36% approval for foreign affairs at this stage. That was the Iraq situation. And Barack Obama had 37% because Putin had seized Crimea. And Obama kind of wasn't fair to him. Obama did a good job on attacking the jihadists, ISIS and things like that we documented in killing the killers. But Trump is way, way ahead. But you're not going to win the midterms on foreign affairs. Not going to happen. Thank you for listening.
