Speaker 1 Has Donald Trump departed from yet another vacation in Mar-a-Lago to go back to DC to make things worse and screw over America even more, the White House issued the following press release.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 It's much more than 100%.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Donald Trump is asked a question by the reporters on Air Force One. Do you believe Putin is disrespecting you by attacking Ukraine?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Who?

Speaker 1 What did he do? Well, he's attacking Ukraine.

Speaker 3 Is he disrespecting me?

Speaker 3 Who are you with? I'm Michael Burboff, the Washington Professor.

Speaker 3 You've lost a lot of credibility. Go ahead.
What else?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 I'm going to make you so rich, he says here. Play this clip.

Speaker 1 Where are we? Are we just about ready?

Speaker 3 We're just about ready to land. Are you worried about a recession? Maria Martiromo asked you, and you kind of hesitated.
I'll tell you what, of course you hesitate. Who knows? All I know is this.

Speaker 3 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

Speaker 1 i mean seriously you're going to be so rich you're not going to know where to spend the money i i don't understand the psychology of somebody who watches that and goes oh i'm gonna go 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.

Speaker 1 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 tax on overtime.

Speaker 1 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, ooh, I guess they're going to be rich.
It's so stupid.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 He will hold that position for a short period of time pending the elections against the Conservative Party led by Pierre Polyev.

Speaker 1 And if Kearney 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.

Speaker 1 The Liberal Party months ago, no one would ever expect it 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 Polyev, went maple MAGA and really went in on all this Trump stuff before

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 4 America is not Canada.

Speaker 4 And Canada never, ever will be part of America in any way, shape, or form.

Speaker 4 Look.

Speaker 4 We didn't ask for this fight. We didn't ask for this fight.
The Canadians are always ready when someone else drops the gloves.

Speaker 4 So the Americans, They should make no mistake, in trade as in hockey, Canada will win.

Speaker 1 Also, as Donald Trump was heading back to D.C.

Speaker 1 from his vacation to screw everything up once again, it's like he comes back, he wrecks the country even more, then goes back and golf, wrecks the country more, goes back and plays golf.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 So Trump's priority is: let's now make Greenland rich and let's just not care about the people in America, Greenland first. And you know, he's just lying about Greenland.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 It's like he goes from, I'm going to put tariffs on you. I'm not going to put tariffs on you.
I'm going to put tariffs on you. I'm not going to put tariffs on you.

Speaker 1 Hey, Hamas, I'm going to unleash hell. I'm not going to unleash hell.
I'm going to unleash hell. I'm not going to unleash hell.
Yeah, I'm unleashing hell. I'm not going to unleash hell.

Speaker 1 Hey, Greenland, I'm going to conquer you. I'm not going to conquer you.
I'm going to conquer you. Hey, Panama Canal, I'm coming for you.
I'm not coming for you.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 There was another plane crash on Sunday, another lethal plane crash.

Speaker 1 And Trump's like, yeah, sometimes things happen more.

Speaker 1 That's just life, you know, recessions, plane crashes, what, what evs.

Speaker 1 Listen to this guy. As Tom Nichols says,

Speaker 1 this guy has the codes, the 1500 strategic nuclear weapons. Play this clip.

Speaker 1 Does he have a legitimate concern?

Speaker 3 Well, that has nothing to do with the department.

Speaker 3 That was a small plane that would have happened when whether you had a big department or a small department as you understand. It's just

Speaker 3 they have space like this. You know they have times when

Speaker 3 things happen a little bit more often than normal and then it goes back and you go many years without having a problem.

Speaker 3 I'll tell you, I think the Southwest pilot did a 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.

Speaker 3 And I think the license should be maybe revoked for the plane that got it away from the pilot, revoked for the plane that got in its way.

Speaker 3 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 war pilots were, they did a great job.

Speaker 1 And then a reporter says, you know, Donald, Russia, China, Iran, they're doing military exercises together.

Speaker 1 You realize you have no, this is me paraphrasing, you have no geopolitical understanding of the way these alliances are being formed.

Speaker 1 Like as you're sucking up to Russia, Russia is then forming its alliance, not with you, but with China and Iran.

Speaker 1 And then you're saying you're against Iran and you're attacking them, but supporting Russia. But Russia is not supporting you.
You have no clue, Donald, what's going on.

Speaker 1 Does it bother you, Donald, that all these other countries are forming alliances against Europe and against the United States? And now the U.S. is going to be out of all of these alliances.

Speaker 1 And then Donald Trump's like, no, it doesn't matter. We're stronger than everybody.
Here, play this clip. Russia, China, and Iran are doing military exercises together.
Does that concern you?

Speaker 3 No, not at all. Not at all.
Why not?

Speaker 3 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.

Speaker 3 But we don't want to even talk about that.

Speaker 1 I think it's... Look, even on Fox, they have one of Donald Trump's former economic advisors on, Stephen Moore, to try to talk some sense into Donald Trump.

Speaker 1 And 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.

Speaker 1 Consumer confidence is crashing. Other indicators are not positive.
This is bad stuff. This is on Fox, and this is Trump's former guy.
Play this clip.

Speaker 5 But we have seen a little bit of market upset. What is your perspective on the way forward?

Speaker 6 Well, you used 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.

Speaker 6 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 tariffs right now is misguided.

Speaker 6 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.

Speaker 6 The economy needs a pick-me-up, and tariffs are are not a pick-me-up. What is, is the Trump tax cut.
Congress has to get this passed as soon as possible.

Speaker 6 By Memorial Day, that will provide the stimulus the economy needs.

Speaker 5 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...

Speaker 1 So then Donald Trump has to send out Howard Luttnick and Howard Luttnick then articulates, that's not the right word, says, uses words to talk about what Trump's tariff policy is.

Speaker 1 And Luttnick says, look, no tariffs if fentanyls. Once fentanyl, no tariffs.
What is it? If fentanyl? Like, what are you even talking about here? Play this clip.

Speaker 7 April 2nd, that's going to be reciprocal tariffs. And I'm happy to talk about that.
But let's try to keep those two different.

Speaker 8 Okay, understood. 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?

Speaker 7 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.

Speaker 7 You got to save American lives. So

Speaker 7 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.

Speaker 7 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 to do.

Speaker 7 President Treinbaum did a much more calm, thoughtful conversation with President Trump, and that's why this is the result.

Speaker 7 She was able to negotiate it because she said a thousand more people on the border stopping fentanyl from coming into this country.

Speaker 1 Mr. Sucker.
Well, all of this is going on too. You have Elon Musk attacking the foreign minister of Poland.

Speaker 1 The foreign minister of Poland just made a very basic statement, which is Starlink 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.

Speaker 1 You pay a tiny fraction of the cost, and there's no substitute for Starlink.

Speaker 1 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 Bartaroma. Here, play that clip.

Speaker 8 And I want to ask you about Ukraine and the blow-up the other day with Zelensky. Let me stay on the economy for a moment because there are rising worries about a slowdown.

Speaker 8 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.

Speaker 1 I've only been here to see.

Speaker 8 But are you expecting a recession this year?

Speaker 9 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

Speaker 9 It takes a little time.

Speaker 9 It takes a little time.

Speaker 9 But 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 made.

Speaker 1 And while all of that's taking place, you have Elon Musk continuing to make posts like this.

Speaker 1 Democrats are demented genocidal war sluts. Well, no wonder we're seeing massive protests now take place across the country.

Speaker 1 You have Senator Bernie Sanders drawing huge crowds in Wisconsin and Michigan in reddish and purplish areas.

Speaker 1 You have people who Donald Trump,

Speaker 1 who voted for Donald Trump, like veterans for Trump, saying that they feel betrayed. And I think the momentum against Donald Trump is growing.

Speaker 1 Although he's continuing just to crash the I mean, he's crashing everything. I mean,

Speaker 1 the stock market's plummeting. People are losing their life savings now.
This isn't hypothetical. It's happening.
