Key Segments & Discussion Points

1. Top News: U.S.-Canada Trade Breakdown & Trump’s Foreign Policy (08:15 - 14:50, 24:10 - 27:50)

• President Trump ends negotiatons with Canada

  • Trump abruptly terminated trade talks after Canada aired an ad using Ronald Reagan's words out of context to undermine U.S. tariffs.
  • Trump’s statement: “All trade negotiations with Canada are hereby terminated. The strong words coming after what he calls a fraudulent advertisement…” (14:15, narrated by Terrence Bates).
  • Discussion revolved around Trump's negotiation style (“the art of the deal”) and the expectation that the Ontario Governor should apologize and restart talks.
  • David Brody: “You gotta know when to fold ‘em, know when to hold ‘em... it’s another negotiating ploy. One thing you don’t do with Trump is try to play him; he’ll have the last word.” (12:10)

• Asia Trip Preview

  • President Trump is headed to Malaysia, then Japan and South Korea, with a key meeting planned with China’s Xi Jinping.
  • The new U.S. tariff on China will soon reach 157% (historically high).
  • Top issues include trade fairness and countering Chinese fentanyl flows:
    • Trump (reported): “The first question I’m going to be asking is fentanyl. They make $100 million selling fentanyl into our country... but they lose $100 billion with the 20% tariff.” (24:50, quoted by Terrence Bates)

2. Government Shutdown & Domestic Economic Policy (18:10 - 31:00)

  • Trump’s assertion that tariffs will help pay down debt—Moore expresses skepticism but credits Trump’s deal-making for more equitable trade.

• Energy Policy and Gas Prices

  • Sharp contrast drawn between Trump’s “drill, baby, drill” approach and Biden’s cancelation of the Keystone pipeline.
    • Moore: “Trump had a pro-America energy policy that has driven down the price of gasoline... Biden paralyzed our ability to produce and distribute energy.” (27:15)
  • U.S. now produces more oil, gas, and soon coal than ever before; OPEC’s power diminished.

  • Frustration at media double standards: “Anytime a conservative... offers up information, media says ‘without evidence’, but the son of a terrorist gets no follow-up.” (01:16:40)
• Jen Psaki/JD Vance Controversy
  • Houck labels Psaki’s remarks on Vance’s wife as “vile, racist... epitome of affluent white female liberals’ contempt for non-conformity.” (01:18:10)
