Donald Trump (10:14)

We don't have that much trade. And they'd like to, and we'd like to also. They have some very valuable things for us, including very big forms of rare earth. They have a lot of earth. You know, they have a big chunk of real estate, the biggest actually the biggest in the world for a country by far. And on that they have things that we could use frankly. And they that I want to tell.

Ben Miceli (10:35)

You about our next sponsor, Stop Box. I am a responsible gun owner and I use Stop Box to make sure that my firearm is secure. I have a five month old baby girl, seems that she's getting older each day. I have a number of nieces and nephews in my house and it is critical that I have the peace of mind that my firearm is safe, secure, out of their reach and that that can never be accessed while making sure that I can protect my family. And one of the things that I like about Stopbox Pro is it is 100% mechanical so you never have to worry about it not working when you need it the most.

I look up to Xi Jinping and Putin. Here's what he says. Play the clip.

Donald Trump (12:48)

Putin actually said to me, if you're my friend, I'd hate to see you as my enemy. He said that very strongly. But I had, with all of that, I had a very good relationship with Putin. I had a very good relationship with President Xi, a very good relationship with Kim Jong Un of North Korea. Lots of good relationships. And that's a positive thing. That's not a negative thing. But at the same time, I'm about our country. So that's why we're talking about tariffs. We'll be taking in trillions of dollars.

Ron Philip Kowski (13:17)

I want to get to the tariffs in a minute because we're going to. We're going to first hit the other.

Ben Miceli (13:21)

Then he spends the rest of the interview bashing Canada. Bashing Canada. Here's what he has to say about Canada.

Ron Philip Kowski (13:29)

Let's play it with Canada than you are with. Only because our biggest adversaries.

Donald Trump (13:33)

Only because it's meant to be our 51st street.

Sean Hannity (13:36)

But.

Donald Trump (13:37)

No, but listen to this for a second.

Ron Philip Kowski (13:38)

Need their territory. They have territorial advantage. We're not one of the most close to China.

Donald Trump (13:43)

Look, I deal with every country indirectly or directly. One of the nastiest countries to deal with is Canada. The people that. Now, this was Trudeau. The people that. Good old Justin. I call him Governor Trudeau. He was. His people were nasty and they weren't telling the truth. They never told the truth. You know that. You know, they'd say, well, we don't charge. Well, they do. They charge tremendous. They charge tremendous.

Ben Miceli (14:10)

And. And here's what he says about Canada. Again, let's play it.

Ron Philip Kowski (14:14)

Any one of our tougher with Canada than you are with some of. Only because our biggest adversaries.

Donald Trump (14:18)

Only because it's meant to be our 51st Street. No, but listen to this for a second.

Ron Philip Kowski (14:23)

We need their territory. They have territorial Advantage. We're not going to get close to China.

Donald Trump (14:27)

Look, I deal with every country indirectly or directly. One of the nastiest countries to deal with is Canada. The people that. Now, this was Trudeau. The people that, that good old Justin, I call him Governor Trudeau. He was. His people were nasty and they weren't telling the truth. They never told the truth. You know that.

Ben Miceli (14:49)

So, yes, praising China, praising Putin, but he's very. An attacking canon. I mean, it's so utterly pathetic. Shout out, by the way, to Canadian Prime Minister, their new Prime Minister, Mark Carney, who is, I think, pitch perfect right now in standing up to the Trump regime. As I've said, Mark Carney the banker, Donald Trump the bankrupter, Mark Carney the banker, Donald Trump the bankruptcy guy, over and over again. You need a real banker to deal with Donald Trump. And Carney's been handling him quite well. But, you know, like, there's a pathology to these sicko authoritarians. Like, look at Putin when he would like give himself the awards at the hockey. Right. You know, he gives himself the hockey awards. Donald Trump gave himself over this weekend while America's Midwest faced deadly storms where like 40 people or more died. Trump awarded himself the golf tournament championship at his own golf club. Very Putinesque, the way Putin has his sycophants go on state regime, media. That's what Trump does. He has Witkoff, one of his special envoy to Russia goes, oh, I would commend President Putin. I'm commending Putin on everything. The way he talked to Trump. Oh, and Donald Trump, I can't overstate how compelling he was. Trump was so compelling. Here, play this clip.

Sean Hannity (16:17)

So I think there have been some breakthroughs. I would commend President Putin for all he did today on that call to, to move his country close to a final peace deal. And I would say, and I would give all the credit to President Trump, his election, peace through strength, the perception that there are no alternatives, that a good peace, a lasting peace, a durable peace is important for both sides. And the president was, you know, I can't, I can't understate or I can't. Pardon me. I can't overstate how compelling he was on this call. He's a natural born leader, Sean, and he demonstrated that today. I've seen him in action. I know him pretty well, Steve, like you. I've known him 30 years and there's.

Ben Miceli (17:11)

No other human being like him. I will say that it's really pathetic stuff. And by the way, the Trump regime keeps putting out, like Just fake stuff like this to egg prices drop again. I think the USDA is putting out phony wholesale numbers, not retail number, wholesale numbers. And they're comparing wholesale to retail, and they're acting like egg prices have dropped and eggs are good now. We're all good now because the US Department of Agriculture tells us there's no issues with eggs. Like a miracle, it's fixed. Mission accomplished. It's like, dude, I go to the grocery store, there's no eggs. At least for me in California, it's like 10 bucks. I know in other areas, it's 8 bucks, 9 bucks. I don't know. You may find a Trader Joe's where it's three or four bucks, I don't know. But overwhelmingly, it's not $3.45. It's ridiculous. And this is what they want to, you know, sell us on. And finally, I'll just show you this just so you can see for yourself. The clip first. Just take a look at the stock market since inauguration. Hong Kong, crushing it. Europe, crushing it. United States being crushed. You know, all the other markets are good, but the United States is doing horrible when it was doing fantastic under former President Biden. But here's Donald Trump. Liberation Day, April 2nd. We're all going to be liberated, stupid. Here, play this clip.

Donald Trump (18:32)

April 2nd is Liberation Day for our country because we're going to finally be taking in money. We're already doing it. A lot of money. As you know, we put down some early tariffs on people and countries that were not treating us well.

Ben Miceli (18:49)

So going back to what I shared with you at the outset, no wonder people are pissed. No wonder Trump's approval is plummeting. Frankly, I think it's high. I mean, the fact that it was still 47% approve of this madness, of this craziness or something like that, or 54% disapproved. Who could approve of the guy like a psycho in every aspect of it? We got to just keep opening up people's minds, showing them the facts, pulling out the receipts and just showing. What are we even talking about here?
