But let's think about this. You can't have the manufacturing jobs until what, until the plants get built. We got $19 trillion. Let me say that one more time. $19 trillion of investment promised to come into this country. Now, construction is going to boom in the short run, but we're not going to see the manufacturing jobs until that capacity gets built. So it'll be 6 months, 9 months, 12 months, 18 months. But what we're doing is setting the stage for the construction of a beautiful addition to our manufacturing base. And by the way, this is how smart, not me, but we are as an administration. It's like when we're cutting these trade deals and Japan's offering to invest here in America. That money, you know how we're going to use that money? That money is specifically targeted at vulnerabilities in our supply chain.

Meanwhile, we're seeing this headline from Reuters that China is willing to restart dialogue with Canada at all levels. The foreign minister says so China opening up more markets and as the United States continues to pull back, get weaker, attack Canada, attack its allies. We're seeing China step in, filling a void and trying to position itself as a responsible player in this global economy right now, relative to Donald Trump waking up and posting lunatic things on social media. Take a look at this story. I think this highlights way American businesses are being impacted by the Trump tariffs. So here's the story from CNBC this morning. Small businesses are being crushed by Trump's tariffs and economists say it's a warning for the economy. It's more than a warning, it's a three alarm fire. So this article highlighted the CEO of Village Lighting, a small business selling Christmas products. And the CEO of Village Lighting says it's now to the point where I could lose everything. Being a small business owner isn't worth it when your country turns on you. When your country turns on you. Take a look at this. As Carl King Denia says, this is bananas. So last year village lighting in 2024 paid less than $50,000 in tariffs. This year, the total tariffs expected is at least $1 million for this Christmas lighting company. If they pay 1 million in tariffs, how are they expected to survive? By the way, if you look at this at an individual level, if our Affordable Care act premiums go up three to four times, who can afford to pay 25 to $30,000 a a year in health insurance? This is not sustainable.

And while this is not sustainable You've got the Trump regime giving $40 billion, let me repeat that. $40 billion in a bailout to Argentina. Didn't Trump and Maga all say that Javier Milei, the leader of Argentina, was this brilliant mastermind with the economy and that he was making the Argentinian economy surge? Wasn't that what they were saying two years ago? And Argentina should be a model for the United States. Now we're doing a $40 billion bailout. While U.S. treasury Secretary Scott Besant is like whining about China being mean to him. They're being mean to me. He said that the behavior by the Chinese trade officials in Washington, D.C. during their discussions was unhinged. Unhinged. That's how you're referring to the Chinese negotiators. You think that the rest of the world doesn't think that this ridiculous Trump regime is the ones who are really unhinged? I'll show you unhinged. This morning, Donald Trump, an interview. I guess it's going to air over the weekend, but here he is with Maria Bartiroma. FOX released some clips right here. And Maria Bartiroma says, you're going to put 100% tariffs on top of what's already in place. You're gonna do 157% tariffs on China. And Donald Trump's like, I know it's not sustainable, but that's what the number is. The number is what the number is. What are you just making up numbers? You're making up numbers and then you're also weakening your own negotiating position by saying it is not sustainable. These are quite literally the stupid, stupidest people running our economy into the ground. Here, play this clip. If you put that 100% tariff on top of what's in place already, but 157% tariff on. Can that stand?

Dana (10:06)

No.

Ron Filipkowski (10:06)

What is that going to do to the economy?

Dana (10:08)

It's not sustainable, but that's what the number is. It's probably not, you know, it could stand, but they forced me to do that. I think we're going to do fine with China. I get along great with him. He's a very strong leader, a very, you know, amazing man. You look at what he's done and what he's, you know, where he's, his life is an amazing story. It's a story for a great movie. I think we're going to be fine with China, but we have to have a fair deal. It's got to be fair.

Ron Filipkowski (10:42)

And speaking of the stupidest people, Eric Trump then gave an interview with CNN where He was showed the video of his daddy speaking with the president of Indonesia, where they were obviously discussing, in my opinion, some new quid pro quo deal. And the Indonesia leader was like, hey, you know, I'd like to meet Eric. I've got some land, I got some ideas. And then Donald's like, eric's a good boy. He's a good boy. And then Eric's showing the video of corruption in plain view of selling out the United States for fricking Eric Trump and Trump's stupid business deals, right? Selling pieces of our country away. And Eric's like, I'm a good boy.

Dana (11:23)

Yeah.

Ron Filipkowski (11:23)

He acknowledges my daddy says I'm a good boy. What weird people are these? Here, play this clip.

Zoe (11:30)

Obviously, there are investment projects happening in Indonesia.

Ron Filipkowski (11:33)

First off, have you heard from the president? Has he called you?

Unknown Commentator 2 (11:38)

No, not about that.

Qualia Senolytic Advertiser (11:39)

But I'm glad he acknowledges that I'm a good boy.

Unknown Commentator 2 (11:42)

I am a good boy.

Ron Filipkowski (11:43)

Then MAGA Mike Johnson holding his press conference this morning and saying, don't you want me just to be a happy warrior? If you want me to be a happy warrior, then just sign our continuing resolution where we get rid of healthcare for 20 million Americans. Because don't you want MAGA Mike to be a happy warrior? Here, play this clip.

Unknown Commentator 1 (12:03)

They like this. At the end of another long week, I just feel like we ought to apologize. I hate that we have to do this. I don't want to be here any more than you do talking about this subject. It is so difficult to be a happy warrior when you know that so many millions of American people are suffering, being made to suffer unnecessarily.

Ron Filipkowski (12:20)

Then Maga Mike goes into this weird rant saying, the last time I checked, Americans have more freedom right now since the Republicans have taken over than ever before. Here, play this clip.

Unknown Commentator 1 (12:32)

America, they are decrying the country that allows them to engage in this activity. And the last time I checked, Americans have more freedom right now to express themselves and speak their minds. After Republicans took over and ended the years of having millions of Americans voices systematically silenced during the COVID pandemic years and the left's cancel culture, it is the Republicans that restored your right to share and speak your mind. That's the first and most obvious irony of the Hate America rally. The second and even more and hat.

Ron Filipkowski (13:00)

Tip to Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries who punched back at Caroline Levitt after she says, you know, the Democrats are the ones who support the terrorists. Democrats constituents are just all a bunch of terrorists. And Hakeem's like, Is this lady crazy? Is this lady a crazy person? Watch Hakeem. He's doing a good here play.

Unknown Commentator 2 (13:19)

This clip is a matter of deep concern. Like, we've already seen a rise in political violence and hatred in America. And then you've got swastikas apparently appearing in the offices of Republican members of Congress. You've got young Republicans engaging in the most anti Semitic and racist speech possible. Like, this is apparently who many of these people are. They are ripping the sheets off in plain view of the American people. Their words, their actions, revealing themselves in so many different ways. And then you got Caroline Levitt, who's sick, she's out of control. And I'm not sure whether she's just demented, ignorant, a stone cold liar, or all of the above, but the notion that an official White House spokesperson would say that the Democratic Party consists of terrorists, violent criminals, and undocumented immigrants, this makes no sense. That this is what the American people are getting from the Trump administration in the middle of a shutdown. So their actions continue to speak for themselves, which is why they're on the wrong side of public sentiment.
