to this matter. There you go. There's the President of the United States and saying, no, we're not stopping. These tariffs are getting slapped right back on. Don't you worry. We've got it all figured out, which is great news because the tariffs have been an epic success. Why do tariffs work, exactly? Why is it that tariffs have worked even in the face of people who thought they wouldn't, who said, don't do this, Mr. President, this will be a bad idea. It's gonna hurt Americans. Well, it hasn't. What has happened to our inflation rate? It's gone down dramatically since Trump has been in office. What has happened to real wages in the United States? They've gone up. What's happened to the private sector? Jobs have gone up. What's happened to government jobs? Well, President Trump fired over 300,000 people. He shrunk the government, the federal government, by 10%. That's massive. That's a huge thing. And those trade barriers, the tariffs, remember where we were when President Trump comes into office. We have countries all across the planet who've been waging trade wars against us and we haven't defended ourselves for decades. President Trump decided to finally defend us. It wasn't an offensive action by the President, it was a defensive action. And by imposing those tariffs, by creating some leverage in a negotiation, what happened immediately? Well, countries started lining up at doors to the to the White House and begging for a meeting with the President of the United States. And what has the President been able to secure out of that? Tens of trillions of dollars of brand new investment to the United States. That would have never happened were it not for the President wielding the levers that that is at his disposal as the President of the United States. He's very smartly using tariffs as a means to negotiate better deals for us. Now, one of the hilarious criticisms here from the left is like, oh, terrorists are attacks on consumers. It's funny how they suddenly have this realization that when the government imposes fees that very often they're or taxes, they're very often passed on to consumers. That's true. When the left wants to impose a huge corporate tax increase, by the way, consumers gonna have to bear some to all of the burden of that tax increase. So taxing the big guy ends up hurting the little guy. But when it comes to tariffs, it turns out it's even more dynamic than that. The reality is most of the companies who've had to pay tariffs in order to import products in order to stay competitive in the American market, they haven't actually passed the costs of those tariffs off onto consumers. Economic studies have shown time and time and time again that price increases have actually been very subtle as a result of the, of the tariffs, if at all. So it's been fascinating to watch. The President's been using a power that he says has not really been flexed to the extent that it should have been since President McKinley. And the president has been generating revenue for the U.S. treasury as a result of this action as well, massive amounts of money. So my advice to all of these naysayers is let him cook. The guy knows what he's doing. And in the meantime, if people are going to try and level new lawsuits against the President to try and stop him again using these other statute statutory authorities that he's now relying on to impose tariffs, you know what's going to happen here at least at the bare minimum. Now we start the clock again. Now these people are going to need another 9, 10, 11, 12 months in order to put the brakes on President Trump's success in using the court process to get it all the way to the United States Supreme Court. In other words, the president can use the tariffs successfully to our benefit. He's not doing. What is he doing it for if not our benefit? It's not like he's being enriched by a tariff regime. The tariffs are for us. He can continue to use them now through the midterms. You want to make a great case for why your party deserves more numbers in the House and the Senate succeed in the economy and the president staying in that fight. Very cool to see. And I'm not surprised at all that the White House was able to respond like that because they were ready for this. I mean, they saw the oral arguments, they knew what was happening in the court. They knew where this thing was likely headed. And they got a great opinion from the dissent from those three great justices, Thomas, Alito, Kavanaugh. And then they had a great strategy ready to go with the commerce Secretary, the trade representative, everybody involved, all immediately moving to impose these tariffs, just using a different law to do it. It's great. Let him cook. Let him cook. All right. More in a moment. I want to get into a man shows up with a shotgun at Mar a Lago and then points it directly at law enforcement. That's a good way to get that. And that's what happened. We'll explore what happened this weekend coming up on this edition of this. Let's see. I've got a lot of, got a lot of stuff going on. Oh, we were just talking about the State of the Union a moment ago. Let's talk about Kalshee for a moment. Kalshee, great sponsor of our program. You know, I like Koshi. I like checking the odds on, like, things that are happening on planet Earth. What's the likeliness that that's going to occur? Well, Kalshee is really good at helping us do that. Take a look at this. Here's, here's Couch. I'll move my, my image up, boys, so it's not blocking the banner. Who will attend the State of the Union address? Look at that. That's an interesting question. Who's going to attend? And here are the guesses. Kalsha's got George Santos. What? George, a former member of Congress, is at 58% right now. Is there some reporting that George Santos is going to go? Why would George Santos be at the State of the Union anyway? Maybe Al Green. That's a question mark. That's the Democrat, Al Green, 54% chance that he'll be there. Remember, he was the guy last year who disrupted the State of the Union by acting like an emotionally incontinent psychopath. Because he's an emotionally incontinent psychopath. He's not the singer, by the way, Al Green, the singer has a great voice. This Al Green sucks. This is a terrible Al Green. 54% chance he actually shows, which is not that surprising. He is a member of Congress. Although a lot of these Democrats are boycotting or Hakeem Jeffries is trying to throw a child leash on them and drag them out of the room to keep them from acting a fool during the State of the Union. I don't think he's going to succeed, but that's hilarious. And then Barron Trump is predicted at 49% for attendance. Now, I'd be a little surprised if Barron was there. He might be. He might be. I don't know. Maybe he wants to go watch his dad give the State of the Union address. Could be good. Anyway. Oh, it just. Look at that. Did that just tick up live, guys? I said 49%. It's at 50%. It just ticked up live. That's how live these markets are. Calci. Yeah, it's pretty cool. You can, you can basically put your real money on anything you think might happen.
