Episode notes

INSIGHT

Tariffs and the Working Class

Trump's tariffs aim to address long-term economic issues like trade deficits and wage stagnation.
The stock market's negative reaction reflects the interests of the wealthy elite, not the working class.

ADVICE

Communication Strategy for Trump

Trump should adopt a more tragic tone when discussing tariffs, emphasizing the necessity and long-term benefits.
He should focus on reciprocity, aiming for zero tariffs or matching tariffs with trading partners.

INSIGHT

China's Vulnerability

China's vulnerability in trade wars stems from its dependence on mercantilism and American magnanimity.
Trump has additional leverage over China, such as restricting student visas and land purchases.

Megyn Kelly reveals exclusive new details from the Nashville school shooter’s journals, what we can learn about the killer's obsession with gender identity and race, why we believe it's in the public's interest to know what was written and what was left out of the final Nashville police report, and more. Plus Victor Davis Hanson, author of "The End of Everything," joins to discuss President Trump’s tariff plan and the volatile media and market reaction today, why it’s important to take a deep breath and gain some perspective, what the goal actually is and why it's a slow process, the disconnect between rich conservatives and the working class, why the working class is more focused on trade fairness and employment opportunities than what happens in the stock market, how the Democratic Party has shifted towards representing elite interests, unhinged, self-important leftists freaking out about Trump and Elon, their narcissistic speeches at the weekend rallies, George Conway crying over Trump and his relationship with law firms, and more. Then Chris van Heerden, whose girlfriend is wrongfully detained in Russia, joins to discuss what led to his girlfriend being stuck in Russian prison for a 12 year sentence, how it was all over a $51 donation, the horrible conditions she's living in now, how he's hopeful about the Trump administration and his frustrating experience with the Biden administration, how Peter Berg and Dana White are helping, and more.
