Are now, effectively the margin of trade between the United states, that's true. 145% is very high. And it won't be that high. Not going to be that high. It got up to that. We were talking about fentanyl, where, you know, various elements built it up to 145. No, it won't be anywhere near that high. What level do you think it'll come.

Down to if you haven't?

Donald Trump (6:56)

It'll come down substantially, but it won't be zero. Used to be zero. We were just destroyed. China was taking us for a ride and just not going to have. It's not going to happen. We're going to be very good to China, have a great relationship with President Xi. But they would make billions and billions and billions of dollars a year and they would build their military out of the United States and what they made. So that won't happen, but they're going to do very well and I think they're going to be happy and I think we're going to live together very happily and ideally work together. So I think it's going to work out very well. But no, it's at 145%. There will not be anywhere near that number.

One of the things that Donald Trump said also, and this is what's the expression, when a clown enters the palace, they don't become royal, the palace becomes a circus or something like that. I always get the expression wrong. But I mean, here's Donald Trump now bragging. He says that he brought egg prices down 93 to 94% since the regime took office. It's the most ridiculous lie. And we think eggs were $84 a dozen. I mean, is this 93 to 94%? It's just some of the most stupid lies that they tell. And again, it's just this over and over again, lie after lie after lie. Here, play this clip.

Donald Trump (9:43)

But if you remember, my first week, I was standing here, Paul, and they were screaming about eggs. The cost of eggs have gone through the roof. They were up like 500 crazy like four or five times. And we won't have eggs for Easter. They were saying, be no eggs. You can't order eggs. They wanted us order plastic in the shape of eggs. Well, Yesterday we had 48,000 people at the Easter hunt. They call it the Easter roll at the White House. And we had all eggs. And as you know, the cost of eggs has come down like 93, 94% since we took office. And they're pretty much normally priced now. Great job. Our Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke Rollins, did a very good job. But groceries have come down. It's all coming down. The only thing that hasn't come down, but it hasn't gone up much are interest rates. And we think the Fed should lower the rate. We think that it's, it's a perfect time to lower the rate and would like to see our chairman be early or on time, as opposed to late.

Look, the Associated Press reported that US Egg prices increased to record highs this past week, dashing hopes of cheap eggs by Easter. I mean, those are just the facts, you know, and the thing with this Trump regime also is, you know, the cruelty is the point. You know, there's all these distractions taking place as they're just screwing over, you know, marginalized communities, just screwing over workers, screwing over just regular folks, 401ks and pensions, you know, just to give you an example. So they say they want to abolish the Department of Education to get rid of education, but they still want to use the Department of education starting May 5 to do a massive wage garnishment of millions of people who defaulted on their student loans. So they're doing a large scale garnishment operation, but then gutting services like lunch and helping poor kids and helping out kids with disabilities through the Department of Education. And then there's this also. So as RFK Jr who runs HHS Health and Human Services, goes on, he's been given all these speeches where he spreads lies about autism and vaccines. Just horrific stuff that he's saying. HHS is planning to cut the National Suicide Hotlines program for LGBTQ youth. In February, the program received an average of 2,001, 2,100 contacts per day. So that's what they want to focus on to the federal government plans to eliminate services for the LGBTQ youth who call 988 the National Suicide and Crisis Hotline, According to a Health and Human Services budget draft leaked last week. The budget, first reported by the Washington Post, would go into effect October if approved by Congress. Since the hotlines launch in 2022, callers have been able to speak with counselors trained to work with specific at risk populations, including LGBTQ youth who are four times more likely to attempt suicide than their peers. The service for LGBTQ Youth has received 1.3 million calls, texts, or chat since 2022. In February, the program received an average of 2100 contacts per day. It's just pure unadulterated cruelty. As RFK Jr goes up and gives a press conference whining that his kids have food allergies. And why do his kids have food allergies? Here, play this clip.

RFK Jr. (13:18)

We have all these autoimmune diseases, these exotic diseases. Again, I never heard of juvenile diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, crohn's disease, and 100 others that were just unknown when I was a kid. I Never knew anybody with a peanut allergy. I never knew anybody with a food allergy. Why do five of my seven kids have allergies? I never knew of anybody who had eczema. I knew of a very small number of children who had asthma. But that has exploded as well today.

You know, to me, the purpose of government is to help people, to protect people, to uplift people. And for the Trump regime, the purpose of government is to help one group, billionaires and oligarchs, and then to inflict pain and suffering on the rest of us. That's what their goal is. And so I think also these billionaire and oligarchs, it's just not enough for them to have one private jet or 10 private jets or 10 yachts. They also, to me, have a sick fetish of watching others suffer, you know, to compensate for whatever pathological, malignant, narcissistic, whatever. You know, as Senator Bernie Sanders says, you know, there's, he's like, there's a, he's a mental illness of greed, he almost calls it. But part of that is this, the enjoyment of suffering of other people. We have to recognize that. And we have to talk about housing, we have to talk about education, we have to talk about healthcare. We have to talk about making sure people can earn a living wage and they don't have to live paycheck to paycheck and that they can afford to buy a house, that you can afford to buy a house, you know, talking about health, talking about protecting, you know, your Medicare, your Medicaid, your Social Security. And we have to talk about those things. And, you know, MAGA and right wing, they want to distract us from all of those things.
