This is this is an AI generated image. But this is kind of tweaking tweaking the situation with Trudeau. But he did look like a little child sitting next to President Trump at Mar a Lago. I couldn't help but think it's another. Another son. Well, daddy's home, and he's coming back to the white House. [00:00:18] Don't do that. Don't do that. Like you're a grown man. - Don't say daddy's home. - Oh, man. I get the banter. I get that it's a, you know, playing off of what Laura Ingraham said. But just just don't do it. Don't say daddy's home. That is that is just wild to to to go on TV. Like, dude, like, [00:00:37] I'm sure that guy has kids. Like, your kids are going to watch this, bro, and you're calling a dude who isn't related to you in any way, shape or form your dad. Like this is what about your own dad? Like, your dad might watch this and be disgusted by the fact that you're [00:00:56] calling somebody else your father. All the all the work he didn't put in, all the times he threw baseball with you in the damn yard for you to get up there and sit up there and call Donald Trump your dad. That's ridiculous. I was pissed if I was that guy's father. [00:01:11] There's a real crisis in America, a real masculinity crisis in America. And I don't know, I think we need to address it. People are saying. People are saying people these days. Saying not. Masculine enough, calling other grown men daddy, is it okay? I don't think so. Let's watch the. [00:01:27] Go ahead. No, just the degree to which these guys want to just fondle the trump. The tea bags is crazy. Oh my God. I didn't see you going in that direction. Okay, okay, let's watch the full clip in context. [00:01:42] Maybe. Maybe we'll feel better about it. Who knows. Maybe they can go back to a different flag. This is now this is this is an AI generated image. But this is kind of tweak tweaking the situation with Trudeau. But he did look like a little child sitting next to President Trump [00:01:58] at Mar-A-Lago. I couldn't help but think it's another. Another son. Well, daddy's home, and he's coming back to the white House. And he's going to make sure Canada and Mexico do everything they can to stop the deadly fentanyl that's flowing into our country and into that next segment. - Another another. - Serious. [00:02:13] He means business and they take him seriously. So good to have you both on. Your grown ass man wearing a suit like it's it's amazing. It really is. But look, there is some substance here. So we should get into that as well. So the, the US, is well, I wouldn't say [00:02:33] the US is threatening some of our allies, including Canada with high tariffs. Donald Trump is doing it. This is the way he governs like he negotiates publicly. And he starts off with, you know, crazy threats to rain various allies in in his mind. [00:02:52] And look, sometimes it works. So I we'll see what happens. But as a reminder, last week Trump threatened a 25% tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico, unless these two countries reduce migrants and drugs coming into the United States. [00:03:08] So that's the reason why Justin Trudeau visited Trump at Mar a Lago to talk about this. And so the US, by the way, let's just stop, because I don't know if I want to give Trump. No, I'm going to give Trump credit. To Trump's credit. Think about it. He publicly announces this threat of a 25% tariff. [00:03:28] And the leader of Canada comes running over to Mar a Lago to meet with him. I mean, was. Am I wrong to give him credit like it's it's different from how other politicians have functioned. But this is how he functioned and it appears to work. It's his thing. [00:03:44] His whole thing. The art of the deal. He fancies himself a master negotiator. That's his thing. It's like throw out the craziest offer you can possibly. Right? Like, set the terms and set the bar in the terms as crazy as possible, and have [00:04:01] people meet you somewhere in the middle of that and you will come out on top. That's that's what he's doing. That's what it feels like he's always doing. He's always negotiating in public. But it's just now, you know, like, as the president of the freaking United States, like he has, [00:04:17] you know, clear power and influence to bring some painful stuff to bear for Canadian business interests. And yeah, man, they gotta play ball if that's the case. And, you know, like, I don't think Trump's going to, you know, levy some 25% tariff. [00:04:34] And also like Canada is important migrants and drugs too. I so I don't know about drugs and I I'm hesitating to comment on that because I don't know for sure. But Jake had mentioned that there are some migrants [00:04:50] who have started coming in through the Canadian border, which is okay. I'm actually surprised that that didn't happen sooner, but so it's not as big of an issue as it is with the southern border. But where are. These migrants from that they're getting to Canada first? I forget, honestly, but but Jake had mentioned it in a story we covered [00:05:09] last week, and I was surprised by it because I had the same reaction as you. When Trump announced his tariffs like, you know, his threat against Canada. I'm like, What's Canada got to do with this? Exactly, exactly. So, apparently, like Fox News's White House correspondent Peter Doocy told, [00:05:27] Special Report host Bret Baier on Monday evening, quote, we are told that when Trudeau and President elect Trump, we are told that when Trudeau told president elect Trump that new tariffs would kill the Canadian economy, [00:05:42] Trump joked to him that if Canada can't survive without ripping off the US to the tune of, to the tune of $100 billion a year, then maybe Canada should become the 51st state and Trudeau could become its governor. [00:06:03] I'm amused by that. I shouldn't be, I guess, but I am. I'm amused by. That's hilarious. That's pretty funny. Like. Oh, God. Yeah. I mean, look, again, I would be surprised if he said something like that. Like actually being serious and wasn't just being tongue in cheek. [00:06:21] And. Yeah, like you do really wonder, like if it's just is Trump getting these guys to the table to do something different so that it could feel like, look, man, I want to be able to win on a promise that I made. So it could seem like I said, I was going to do something and I did it, [00:06:37] unlike my first administration, where I pretty much did nothing except for the freaking mega tax cut. I mean, it's smart. Like if the criticism is that during his first term, he didn't do enough of the things he said he was going to do. Seems like he's trying to line things up to to follow up on his plans. [00:06:56] And, you know, again, I, I don't want to see Americans get hurt by this. But part of me, man, wants to see people get in office and actually deliver on the stuff that they're saying. I'm tired of these theoretical administrations, these theoretical [00:07:13] policies where people run on stuff and claim they're going to do all of this stuff and don't do it. And Republicans run on the craziest crap and never do it, never deliver on it. And people don't realize how stupid their ideas are. You know, so, like, a part of me does want [00:07:30] to see him actually implement his program so people can get a sense of like, yo, you know, damn, he I didn't know he was going to do all of this. I really do want to see it, I swear to God. Well, look, I keep repeating this, and I know people hate that. [00:07:48] I keep repeating this, but it's important for people to know, even though it's an inconvenient fact for Democratic loyalists. Trump's tariffs on China worked to some extent, which is why Biden kept them and expanded on them. And so when we have conversations about tariffs, what's so annoying about it [00:08:07] is like people have this black and white view, but it depends on how they're implemented, why they're implemented. And so if you do some targeted tariffs, by the way, Democrats used to be in favor of tariffs like that used to be a policy that was very closely identified [00:08:24] with the Democratic Party. And ever since the party was captured by corporate donors, they've obviously moved away from that. But I do think that in some cases, targeted tariffs might make sense. And in this case, I do think that Trump is using it as a threat in order to get what [00:08:41] he wants from some of these countries. And, you know, if they're not willing to be good boys and girls, you know, daddy might give them a spanking, okay, that might happen. Speaking of daddy, let's Let's go to other grown men, literally calling him that. [00:08:59] Let's watch. Even in the Mideast, where Hamas is saying, well, we were just trying to defend ourselves or, you know, you know, countries indicating that they're going to be good boys and girls. Now, you know, just to liken it to an old parable that your daddy's home, [00:09:16] you know, and things are going to change and we're going to go back to being a strong America. And when dad gets home, you know what he says? You've been a bad girl. You've been a bad little girl, and you're getting a vigorous spanking right now. [00:09:35] We don't need to know about the kinky stuff you and your wife are into. Vigorous, vigorous spanking. I love that as a descriptor. Vigorously spanking these bad, bad boys and girls. [00:09:51] That is sick. Oh, man. Listen, folks, just to get back to the tariffs on one thing. I think the reason why, there's two reasons why you'll see, like a blanket in the outlets that you guys might read, whether it be New York Times or The Atlantic or any of these elite, [00:10:09] quote unquote liberal outlets. Is that one? You know, the tariffs go against the neoliberal consensus, which is free trade, TPP, NAFTA, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Like it goes against that. And so just reflexively, these people are going to be against it because, again, [00:10:27] the uniparty neoliberal established order is that this was the way of the future. And it was great for everybody, which has proven to not be the case, I think unequivocally, I think another thing, you know, people who are less dogmatic and, you know, ideologues about this, [00:10:45] it's just that we're in an inflationary environment and, you know, that tariffs will raise prices even if the the most bullish people on tariffs will say in the short term, at the very least, prices will be raised and Americans are taught to think [00:11:02] of themselves as freaking consumers first. And so like unfortunately, the second that they think that that my my prices, you know, my, my freaking home goods ain't as cheap as it was. Which home goods are they going out of business? - Did you hear? - No they're not. [00:11:18] No they're not. - Don't say that to me. - They are their parent company. La la la la la la la la la. Listen, listen. I don't need to be suicidal, okay? - Like, don't. - Yeah, yeah. But. Yeah. - Is that. - Possible? How is that? I think the parent company messed up the money somehow. [00:11:33] They own, like, a bunch of other stuff. But yeah, I read that somewhere. Home goods is a is a wrap. My girl sent me that article. - She like you? - Of course she did. Addicted to. - Of course she. - Did. She's. I'm a home goods fan, too, but. Yeah, man, I gotta get that to you. [00:11:51] You always come in with the fresh information. Thank you. Was. I appreciate that, even though that was devastating.
