As Donald Trump departed from yet another vacation in Mar? A Lago to go back to D.C. to make things worse and screw over America even more, the White House issued the following press release. This is real. I'm not making this up. The White House issued this. In just over one month, illegal border crossings have plummeted by numbers that nobody has actually ever seen before. It's much more than 100%. Yes. It defies all of the rules of mathematics and grammar. This is the most idiotic authoritarian regime in the history of mankind. Let me show you Exhibit B. That was Exhibit A. This is Exhibit B. Donald Trump is asked a question by the reporters on Air Force One. Do you believe Putin is disrespecting you by attacking Ukraine? And then Donald Trump's response is to attack the reporter and say, what did he do? Who are you with? Who are you with? Here, play this clip this week disrespecting you by attacking Ukraine.
- [03:02]
Donald Trump
When you're trying to.
- [03:03]
Podcast Host
Putin disrespecting you by attacking Ukraine, you're trying to make peace.
- [03:07]
Donald Trump
What did he do?
- [03:08]
Podcast Host
Well, he's attacking Ukraine.
- [03:10]
Donald Trump
Is he disrespecting me?
- [03:12]
Podcast Host
Yeah.
- [03:12]
Donald Trump
Who, who are you with?
- [03:13]
Podcast Host
I'm Michael Bur.
- [03:17]
Donald Trump
You lost a lot of credibility. Go ahead. What else?
- [03:22]
Podcast Host
As I said, it is an authoritarian regime. It is also incredibly idiotic. Donald Trump conducting more interviews on Air Force One, taking more questions from reporters. He was asked if he's worried about a recession, to which Donald Trump said, we're going to just be so rich, you're not even going to know how rich you are. So even if there's a recession, don't worry, I'm going to make you so rich. He says, here, play this clip.
- [03:54]
Donald Trump
Where are we? Are we just about. We're just about ready to land.
- [03:59]
Podcast Host
Are you worried about a recession? Maria Martiromo asked you and you kind of hesitated.
- [04:04]
Donald Trump
I'll tell you what, of course you hesitate. Who knows? All I know is this. We're going to take in hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs and we're going to become so rich, you're not going to know where to spend all that money. I'm telling you, you just watch. We're going to have jobs, we're going to have open factories. It's going to be great. And the plane is landing and thank you for a lot of good questions. Okay, thank you very much, everybody.
- [04:26]
Podcast Host
I mean, seriously, you're gonna be so rich, you're not going to know where to spend the money. I don't understand the psychology of somebody who watches that and goes, ooh, I'm gonna get rich again. This guy always tells me the truth. I mean, the guy lies about everything. He said prices would go down on day one, there would be peace in Ukraine in 24 hours, housing would be affordable. And he said by now that there would be all of these jobs. Oh, yeah, what about no tax on tips? No tax on Social Security? No. No tax on overtime. What about all of those promises? Lie, lie, lie, lie. But then he just makes up a new lie. And then the kind of brain dead MAGA cult members go, oh, I guess he's going to be rich. So stupid. Meanwhile, in Canada, where they are standing up to this bully regime in the United States, the Liberal Party has selected its new leader, Mark Carney, who will go on to replace Prime Minister Trudeau as the Prime Minister of Canada. He will hold that position for a short period of time pending the elections against the Conservative Party, led by Pierre Poliev. And if Carney wins that, when the Liberal Party rather wins that and they're expected to win that, Carney would go on to stay as the Prime Minister. With a new government being formed, the Liberal Party months ago, no one would ever expected would be able to pull this off and actually win an election. But it seems like they're headed to do just that. Especially as the right wing party in Canada, the Conservative Party led by Pierre Poliev, went maple MAGA and really went in on all this Trump stuff before Donald Trump did all of the things that we told you he was going to do. Let me just share this brief portion of Mark Carney's victory speech for the Liberal Party leadership position. I think it's such a perfect contrast to those idiotic clips I just played of Trump. Watch Carney right here. Let's play it. America is not Canada. And Canada never, ever will be part of America in any way, shape or form. We look, we didn't ask for this fight. We didn't ask for this fight. But Canadians are always ready when someone else drops the gloves. So the Americans, they should make no mistake in trade, as in hockey, Canada will win. Also, as Donald Trump was heading back to D.C. from his vacation to screw everything up once again, it's like he comes back, he wrecks the country even more than goes back in golf. Wrecks the country more, goes back and plays golf. But here's a big part of Donald Trump's platform. Right, everybody, this is what you want. And I'm being sarcastic, of course. Trump posts the following on his social media. As I made clear during my joint address to Congress, the United States strongly supports the people of Greenland's right to determine their own future. We will continue to keep you safe as we have since World War II. We're ready to invest billions of dollars to create new jobs to make you rich. And if you so choose, we welcome you to be part of the greatest nation anywhere in the world, the United States of America. I like that I'm being sarcastic. So Trump's priorities, let's now make Greenland rich and let's just not care about the people in America. Greenland fir. And you know he's just lying about Greenland. This whole thing, as I said before, it's just freaking weird. It's strange, it's dangerous. And the world just sees how pathetic he is, right? It's just like whack a mole idiocracy, right? It's like he goes from, I'm gonna put tariffs on you. I'm not gonna put tariffs on I'm gonna put tariffs on you. I'm not gonna put tariffs on you. Hey, Hamas, I'm gonna unleash hell. I'm not gonna unleash hell. I'm gonna unleash hell. I'm not going to unleash hell. Yeah, I'm unleashing hell. I'm not going to unleash hell. Hey, Greenland, I'm going to conquer you. I'm not going to conquer I'm going to conquer you. Hey, Panama Canal. I'm coming for you. I'm not coming for you. It's the same cyclical idiocracy over and over again, and it's just ridiculous. Here Donald Trump is asked about all these plane crashes recently. There was another plane crash on Sunday, another lethal plane crash. And Trump's like, yeah, sometimes things happen more. That's just life, you know, recessions, plane crashes, what whatevs. Listen to this guy. As Tom Nichols says, this guy has the codes to 1500 strategic nuclear weapons. Play this clip. He's been, you know, dealing with his crashes ever since he was sworn. Does he have a legitimate concern?
- [09:39]
Donald Trump
Well, that has nothing to do with the department that has. That was a small plane, and that would have happened whether you had a big department or a small department. As you understand, it's just there and they have space like this. You know, they have times when things happen a little bit more often than normal, and then it goes back and you go many years without having a problem. I'll tell you, I think the Southwest Milot did a fantastic, fantastic job last week when he lifted that plane off the air, because if he put the brakes on, that wouldn't have been good. And I think the license should be maybe revoked for the plane that got in the way from the pilot. Revoked for the plane that got in its way. But the way he immediately stepped in the gas and lifted up as opposed to, you know, thinking for about three seconds when it would have been too late. The Southwest pilot or pilots were, they did a great job.
- [10:28]
Podcast Host
And then a reporter says, you know, Donald, Russia, China, Iran, they're doing military exercises together. You realize you have no, this is me paraphrasing. You have no geopolitical understanding of the way these alliances are being formed. Like as you're sucking up to Russia, Russia is then forming its alliance, not with you, but with China and Iran. Then you're saying you're against Iran and you're attacking them, but supporting Russia. But Russia is not supporting. You have no clue, Donald, what's going on. Does it bother you, Donald, that all these other countries are forming alliances against Europe and against the United States and now the US Is going to be out of all of these alliances and then Donald Trump's like, no, it doesn't matter. We're stronger than everybody here. Play this clip. China and Iran are doing military exercises together. Does that concern you?
- [11:17]
Donald Trump
No, not at all. Not at all.
- [11:19]
Podcast Host
Why not?
- [11:20]
Donald Trump
Because. Because we're stronger than all of them. We have more power than all of them. I rebuilt the military. Unfortunately, Biden did nothing with it, but I rebuilt the military. But we don't want to even talk about that.
- [11:32]
Podcast Host
I think, look, even on Fox, they have one of Donald Trump's former economic advisers on Stephen Moore to try to talk some sense into Donald Trump. This is Trump's former economic advisor, top former economic advisor. And he's just like, yeah, you know, what Trump's doing with the economy with tariffs is bad, bad, bad. Consumer confidence is crashing. Other indicators are not positive. This is bad stuff. This is on Fox. This is Trump's former guy. Play this clip. But we have seen a little bit of market upset. What is your perspective on the way forward?
- [12:07]
Katie
Well, you use the word complicated and that's exactly what it has been over the last week, Katie, where one day the tariffs are going to go up and then there's going to be a delay in the tariffs and then there's going to be a tariff in another country and it's been up and down and up and down. And by the way, the stock market went up and down and up and down with these things. I think that the president's emphasis on terrorists right now is misguided. I think we have a very wobbly economy. We saw a not very good jobs report on Friday. The consumer confidence numbers are sinking and other indicators are not positive. The economy needs a pick me up and terrorists are not a pick me up. What is, is the Trump tax cut. Congress has to get this passed as soon as possible by Memorial Day. That will provide the stimulus the economy needs.
- [12:55]
Podcast Host
Yeah, because if they don't get the cut, it's going to be a tax hike for everybody who got it in the first place. One of the biggest. So then Donald Trump has to send out Howard Lutnick and Howard Lutnick then articulates, that's not the right word, says, uses words to talk about what Trump's tariff policy is. And Lutnick says, look, no tariffs. If fentanyl ends once fentanyl ends, no tariffs. What is it? If fentanyl Ends like, what are you even talking about here? Play this clip.
- [13:24]
Howard Lutnick
Well, second, that's going to be reciprocal tariffs, and I'm happy to talk about that, but let's try to keep those two different.
- [13:30]
Podcast Host
Okay?
- [13:30]
Donald Trump
Understood.
- [13:31]
Podcast Host
But you say he's not going to take his foot off the gas. Does that mean these are permanent tariffs? Mr. Secretary, can you provide clarity, yes or no?
- [13:41]
Howard Lutnick
If fentanyl ends, I think these will come off. But if fentanyl does not end, or he's uncertain about it, they will stay this way until he is comfortable. This is black and white. You got to save American lives. So, with respect, with respect to fentanyl, this is about the border and fentanyl. And that's an agreement between the president and the two leaders of Canada. Of course, Justin Trudeau has got a lot to say. Of course, he's leaving in, like, days. So it's not really that fun to listen to some guy who's trying to create sort of a mess for Canada, which he's trying to do. President Scheinbaum did a much more calm, thoughtful conversation with President Trump, and that's why this is the result. She was able to negotiate it because she said, a thousand more people on the border stopping fentanyl from coming into this country.
- [14:30]
Podcast Host
Mr. Secretary. Well, all of this is going on, too. You have Elon Musk attacking the foreign minister of Poland. The foreign minister of Poland just made a very basic statement, which is Starling should not be cutting off access to satellites to Ukraine since Poland has paid the bill. Simple premise, right? But what's Elon Musk's response? Well, earlier in the day, Elon Musk wrote that America needs to leave NATO immediately. That was what Elon Musk said earlier, that America shouldn't be protecting Europe and NATO shouldn't exist. That's what Elon Musk said. And here, Elon Musk attacks the foreign minister of Poland, our ally, and goes, be quiet, small man. You pay a tiny fraction of the cost. And there's no substitute for Starlink. Tired of winning. Tired of winning. Here's the headline. Trump won't rule out recession in 2025. That's what he said in the interview with Maria Bartiroma. Here, play that clip. And I want to ask you about Ukraine and the blow up the other day with, with Zelinsky. Let me stay on the economy for a moment because there are rising worries about a slowdown. You've got the Atlanta Federal Reserve saying we're going to have a contraction in the first quarter. Look, I know that you inherited a mess. And you said that the other day. Are you expecting a recession this year?
- [15:54]
Donald Trump
I hate to predict things like that. There is a period of transition because what we're doing is very big. We're bringing wealth back to America. That's a big thing. And there are always periods of. It takes a little time. It takes a little time. But I don't. I think it should be great for us. I mean, I think it should be great. It's going to be great ultimately for the farmer, you know, don't forget. I mean.
- [16:20]
Podcast Host
And while all of that's taking place, you have Elon Musk continuing to make posts like this. Democrats are demented genocidal war sluts. Well, no wonder we're seeing massive protests now take place across the country. You have Senator Bernie Sanders drawing huge crowds and Wisconsin, Wisconsin and Michigan and reddish and purplish areas. Um, you have people who. Donald Trump, who voted for Donald Trump, like veterans for Trump, saying that they feel betrayed. And I think the momentum against Donald Trump is growing, although he's continuing just to crash the. I mean, he's crashing everything. I mean, the stock market's plummeting. People are losing their life savings now. This isn't hypothetical. It's happening. Anyway, thanks for watching. Hit subscribe. Let's get to 5 million subscribers. Can't get enough Midas?
