Laura Ingraham DISMANTLES Trump Over Bringing 600k Chinese Students To US Colleges!
Donald Trump's recent Fox News interview with Laura Ingraham was supposed to be a softball, but matters quickly headed south when the President tried to defend bringing in 600,000 Chinese students to keep U.S. universities financially afloat, despite previously labeling China a major threat. Ingraham pushed back on Trump's claim that cutting those students would cause "half the colleges in the United States to go out of business." The comment also sparked outrage among his MAGA supporters, who saw it as a betrayal of his "America First" platform. Critics across conservative circles, including Nick Fuentes and former Trump loyalists, blasted him for prioritizing foreign interests, expanding H-1B visas, and embracing globalist economic logic. Jimmy frames the interview as a catastrophic misstep that alienated Trump's base and exposed a widening rift between his rhetoric and his policies. Plus segments on Ingraham also questioning Trump about supporting the H1-B program, Trump's gaslighting about inflation, his long-fogotten pledge to fix the healthcare system and newly released texts that raise serious questions about why the Charlie Kirk crime scene was paved over so quickly. Also featuring Stef Zamorano!

Donald Trump did a softball interview, which was supposed to be a softball interview at Laura Ingram, and Trump completely imploded.
People are going his base, not me.
These people at our MAGA are going crazy over this because Donald Trump on several, he said he's going to try to get people to get a 50-year mortgage.
50-year mortgage.
What?
You know what that sounds like?
You'll own nothing and be happy.
That's what that sounds like.
He told that they needed to bring in 600,000 Chinese students so that universities in America don't lose money.
I thought they were your enemy.
But now I'm going to show you.
Let's see what this is about.
Let's see.
I think this is the one about the Chinese students.
Let's listen.
Folks are not thrilled about this idea of hundreds of thousands of foreign students in the United States.
We have about 350,000 Chinese.
One point during COVID, you were going to, you know, push to get them out, but that was pulled back.
You've said as many as 600,000 Chinese students could come to the United States.
Why, sir, is that a pro-MAGA position when so many American kids want to go to school and there are places not for them and these universities are getting rich off Chinese money?
Sure.
Never said about China, but we do have a lot of people coming in from China.
We always have China and other countries.
We also have a massive system of colleges and universities.
And if we were to cut that in half, which perhaps makes some people happy, you would have half the colleges in the United States go out of business.
As Laura Ingram says, so what?
So what?
Who cares?
So you've got a business that can't sustain itself?
So what?
So we don't need all these universities to educate our children?
Let's get rid of them, the ones that we don't need.
I thought that you were against the lefty liberal universities that push woke politics.
So now you want to save them by bringing in 600,000 foreign students that are going to muscle out American students from those.
And there she is, Laura Ingram.
So what?
So what?
Laura, this is supposed to be a softball interview.
Okay, she already wrecked him on the H-1B visa.
She already wrecked him on his proposal for 50-year mortgages.
And now she's wrecking him on the 600,000 Chinese.
And he doesn't, he's not ready for this interview.
And it's a softball.
She's on his side.
This isn't Rachel Maddow.
This isn't Jake Tapper.
This is Laura Ingram at Fox News.
Okay.
You would have half the colleges in the United States go out of business.
Well, I think it's a big deal.
Are they fans?
You would have the United States.
Yeah, but you would have, as you know, historically, black colleges and universities would all be out of business.
So this is comical, right?
So this is where Trump is being funny, I think.
I hope so, because he's saying that the 600,000 Chinese students, they are big enrollees at black universities.
You mean like at Howard?
Is that what he's talking about?
You mean exclusively black universities are now going to be infiltrated with hundreds of thousands of Chinese students?
Is that what he's saying?
Yes.
That's what he's saying.
He's trying to, now he's trying to virtue.
So you're like, no, I'm sticking up for black colleges because they'll go out of business unless they have a couple of hundred thousand Chinese students.
What are you talking about?
That's laughable.
That is laughable.
Okay.
You would have a system of colleges and universities within the world.
So we're dependent on China to keep our university system going.
Exactly.
Oh, wow.
Again, remember, this is a friendly interview, and he's not ready for it.
She's like, wait, so we got to rely on China to keep our universities open?
I thought you were afraid that they were sending spies to the United States to infiltrate us and spy on us.
I thought that's what the problem was with China.
I thought that was the problem with TikTok.
They're gathering our data.
They're our enemy.
They're spying on us.
And here you are.
Are you going to bring 600,000 of the brightest of them and welcome that into our universities?
You don't think they're going to spy on us?
They're not afraid of that.
I mean, that's what they were saying.
Anyway.
I think it's good to have, I actually think it's good to have outside countries.
Look, I want to be able to get along with the world.
They're not the French.
They're the Chinese.
They spy on us.
They steal our intellectual property.
What do you think the French are better?
Yeah.
Really?
I'll tell you.
I'm not so sure.
We've had a lot of problems with the French, where we get taxed very unfairly on our technology, where, you know, they put 25% taxes on American products.
Look, assuming everyone treats us badly, because that's the way I am, but we take in trillions of dollars from students.
You know, the students pay more than double when they come in from most foreign countries.
I want to see our school system thrive, but at the same time, I want to, I know you and I disagree.
We're never going to agree on it, but that's okay.
And it's not that I want them, but I view it as a business.
We have millions and millions of people.
Also, I want to get along with countries if possible.
You know, people are shocked.
Remember, Hillary Clinton said, we'll be in a war.
I stopped eight wars in the last nine months.
I don't want to be in wars.
If I am.
Except with Iran, Yemen, Venezuela, possibly Nigeria and Colombia.
Except that.
Okay.
In a war, we're going to win the thing fast and it'll be violent.
What about Ukraine?
How come we have it won that you've been in office now 10 months?
How come you have it won that fast and make it violent and getting over with?
But you're just going to keep funding it.
Okay.
All right.
What about Gaza?
Is that over fast?
All right.
Anyway, I know I'm getting off.
But you know what?
I don't want to be in wars.
But one thing.
You don't want to cut half of the people, half of the students from all over the world that are coming into our country, destroy our entire university and college system.
I don't want to do that.
I wouldn't lose any sleep.
And don't forget, MAGA was my idea.
MAGA was nobody else's.
Jared said she goes, I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.
I wouldn't lose any sleep over it either.
Really?
Half of our universities couldn't make it without 600,000 Chinese students coming in?
What?
That seems weird.
I'm not against foreign students coming to the United States.
I'm saying that they are.
I'm saying that this has been a big talking point in the Trump sphere.
And now he's completely flipped, just like he completely flipped on cutting the deficit, just like he completely flipped on revealing the Jeffrey Epstein files.
Completely flipped.
Just like he completely flipped on freedom of speech.
Now he's got hate speech laws and DEI for his Jewish students.
He completely flipped on that.
It's like he completely flipped on not being a non-interventionist.
He's intervening in Iran and Yemen.
Now he's meeting with the head choppers from Syria, the Al-Qaeda people at the White House.
He's bombing Venezuela, trying to overthrow that.
Again, it's just complete flip-flop.
It's just amazing.
Anyway, I know what MAGA wants better than anybody else.
And MAGA wants to see our country thrive.
Okay.
Matt Moore says the recent Ingram interview has been catastrophic for Trump.
Catastrophic.
Whoever's in Trump's inner circle that's been telling him that we need more H-1B visas, 50-year mortgages, and 600,000 Chinese students needs to be fired immediately because that's what he talked about in this interview.
I'm going to show you that in another segment.
Evan Kilgore.
So these are all MAGA people.
This isn't, these aren't detractors of Donald Trump.
These are not never Trumpers.
These are the America-first Americans.
These are America-first conservatives.
50-year mortgages, 600,000 Chinese students, Antifa riots, bombing Iran, no Epstein files, anti-Semitism crackdowns, ISIS in the White House, inflation.
MAGA is losing me, to be honest.
My life has seen zero improvement since Trump took office.
It's actually worse.
America last.
That has 49,000 likes.
Again, this isn't from some lefty.
This isn't from a Trump hater.
Here's a barefoot student.
The Gen Z stare when they hear Trump wants more H-1B visas to build missiles.
America has no talent.
600,000 Chinese students is just business, and the economy is the best ever.
All in one interview.
That's the Gen Z stare when you hear that.
Here is Cubs Worlds says Trump says he's letting 600,000 Chinese students into the U.S. because he knows that's what MAGA wants.
I regret my vote every single day.
These are people who voted for Trump.
And let's listen to what Nick Fuentes has to say about this.
When Trump says, well, you know, I could cut the number of Chinese students coming into America.
I suppose that would make some people happy.
He's referring to his voters who voted for him to do this.
Your voters, the forgotten men and women of America, voted for you to do that to put American students, their children, or them, themselves, ahead of the universities,
which are run by our enemies, by the way.
Academia is run by the left.
Academia is run by liberals, Democrats.
They do not support Trump or his government or Republicans.
Universities are notorious for this.
And Chinese students.
So Trump says, well, I guess I could make you happy by doing what I promised.
I guess I could make my voters happy by doing what I promised to do.
But think about all the money.
Think about the Chinese students and think about all the money that would go to the universities.
I don't know.
I think that it would actually be a good thing if we had fewer colleges and universities.
If colleges and universities cannot exist without foreign money, then they shouldn't.
Isn't that a simple and basic principle?
We have too many colleges.
We have too many college graduates.
It's devaluing a college diploma.
And by the way, the job market is frozen.
You have a very high percentage of Americans with a high school or excuse me, a college diploma, a college degree, but a much smaller percentage of them that actually have a job in the field that they got an education in.
So if you have all these universities and all these students graduating and entering a very tight job market, if they can't exist without that arrangement, which is America last, let them go out of business.
Let them go out of business.
Or better yet, let them economize.
Maybe instead of spending all this money on state-of-the-art amenities and sports facilities and recreational facilities, I don't know.
Maybe you need to cut those things.
Maybe you need to eliminate some of the programs there.
But the whole point, that's beside the point.
The whole point of electing Trump in the first place is that you're supposed to put Americans and their concerns first.
And it goes without saying, if a Chinese student goes to Harvard or Yale, that is one less spot for an American.
There are only so many spaces at elite schools.
There's only so many seats there at elite public and private schools on the East Coast, the West Coast, everywhere in between, research universities, liberal arts universities.
There's only so many spots.
And if there are 600,000 Chinese students coming here, those are 600,000 seats that don't go to Americans.
And I understand that maybe it's flexible, give or take 100 or 1,000 in a particular university.
But if you're doubling the amount of Chinese students, if you're talking about half a million in a given year, there are Americans who won't be going to college this year because a Chinese student is.
And the reason that we elected Trump in the first place in 2016 was to reverse those priorities.
There you go.
Nick Fuentes is so again, honest to God, it's funny to me to see, or it's interesting to me to see,
sad to see how fast Trump is wrecking his second term in office.
He's just going complete 180s on the things that he said he would do.
And there's a litany of things, litany of things.
Free speech being the big one and being America first.
So, wow.
Now I'm going to go talk about the H-1B visas that he talked about in that same interview.
And it's also got MAGA pissed off because this is not what they voted for.

Thanks for your support.
So Trump went on with Laura Ingram, and he had a, it was a disastrous interview for many reasons.
He started off by saying we should have 50-year mortgages, which sounds a lot like you'll own nothing and be happy.
He then said we should have 600,000 Chinese students coming into the United States every year, or else the colleges will have to go out of business.
And here he is telling you that we need to import more Indian workers into the United States under the H-1B visa.
Now, we covered this before, I'll tell you, but here, let's watch.
There's never going to be a country like what we have right now.
The Republicans have to talk about it later.
And does that mean the H-1B visa thing will not be a big priority for your administration?
Because if you want to raise wages for American workers, you can't flood the country with tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of foreign workers.
We also do have to bring in talent when we cut.
We have plenty of talent in the future.
We don't have talented people.
Wow.
Wow.
You got to bring in talented people.
She's like, we got plenty of talented people in the United States.
No, you don't.
I remember when Vivek Vamaswami tried that.
And I don't know if you've noticed.
We haven't heard from him since.
That was his last thing he got to say in public was he said that, oh, the Indians, people in India have a better work culture than the United States.
We only care about whatever it is, whatever he said stupid things about going to prom dances and looking at our iPhone and playing video games.
Whereas the Indians have a culture of work and hard and blah, blah, blah.
Nobody works harder than Americans.
And here he is saying we don't have the talent.
We don't have talent in America.
We got to bring in people on an HB1 visa.
And Laura, good on Laura.
Ingram pushes right back.
Pushes right back.
We have plenty of talent in the middle.
We don't have talented people in there.
No, you don't have certain talents and people have to learn.
You can't take people off an unemployment, like an unemployment line and say, I'm going to put you into a factory where we're going to make missiles or I'm going to put you in the middle of the market.
How did we ever do it before?
Well, let me tell you.
When you and I were.
I'll give you an example.
In Georgia.
Yeah.
They raided because they wanted illegal immigrants.
They had people from South Korea that made batteries all their lives.
You know, making batteries are very complicated.
It's not an easy thing.
It's very dangerous.
A lot of explosions, a lot of problems.
They had like 500 or 600 people, early stages to make batteries and to teach people how to do it.
Well, they wanted them to get out of the country.
You're going to need that, Laura.
I mean, I know you and I disagree on this.
You can't just say a country's coming in, going to invest.
So if I'm making missiles, I'm bringing in a foreign guy who makes batteries because I want that missile to explode like an electric car battery for no apparent reason while it's sitting in its parking spot.
What is he saying?
I love what Laura Ingrams says.
Well, how did we make missiles before?
We were making missiles.
That's all we make in this country anymore is missiles.
We got to bring people in from South Korea and China to make what?
In India to make missiles?
And then he switches it to batteries?
This did not go well for Trump.
This is not, and it's not me saying that.
It's his base.
The people who voted for him are saying this.
$10 billion to build a plant and going to take people off an unemployment line who haven't worked in five years, and they're going to start making missiles.
It doesn't work that way.
Wow.
It's shocking, right?
Is it right?
Misha's phone.
She went like that when I played this.
Misha went, but she doesn't have her headphones on, so you can't hear her do that.
Even though I bought her one, because we spent the money.
She doesn't want to use it.
She doesn't want to help the show.
Wow.
I didn't see that coming.
Adam Media says Vivek broke the internet when he said that.
It's literally infamous and still mentioned.
Will his cuck cult give Trump the same energy?
This is a complete mask off.
So they're saying, so there's a lot of people, we've talked about this, that are Trumpers that say, oh, I'm loyal to Trump.
And they try to point the finger at people like Tucker or Candace Owens.
They're not loyal to Trump.
Well, if you're loyal to a politician, you're a Trump.
The politician is supposed to be loyal to you.
And when the politician isn't loyal to you, you're supposed to put pressure on that politician and call them out unless you're a cuck in a cult.
That's what I thought you guys hated about the Democrats.
They all pretended Joe Biden wasn't demented.
They all pretended Kamala Harris wasn't a mental defective.
They all pretended Russia Gate was real.
They all pretended the Ukraine war was because of Russia.
I thought that's what this was.
So you're supposed to hate.
You hate it when the left does it.
But now there's certain people that are saying, I'm loyal to Trump.
Well, then you're just a dupe and you get whatever you got coming.
You deserve to be lied to.
Here's a woman.
I love that shoe on head.
She tweets this out and she says, how am I to the right of Donald J. Trump?
So what she's saying is Donald J. Trump is for immigration and she's to the right.
She's not for it.
She's not for all these H-1B visas.
Donald Trump wants to bring in foreign workers, which used to be considered a lefty position.
And if you're against it, you're actually to the right of Donald Trump.
That's a great point she's making.
How am I to the right of Donald Trump?
Now, some people try to.
So Bill Mitchell, he makes a point.
He says this.
He says, I see many people getting bent today over Trump's H-1B visa comments and that how America doesn't have enough talent.
That's what Trump said.
Folks may not want to hear that, but our education system has gotten so bad that we just don't have as much elite educated talent as we need, especially in technology.
It's just a fact.
Well, isn't it weird?
Because in the same interview, Jonald Trump says we need to bring 600,000 Chinese students into our universities.
Why would they want to come here if we have such shitty universities?
Why would the brightest students from China want to come here if our universities suck so bad?
That doesn't make sense.
In China, children are trained to be software engineers.
In America, many of them can barely read.
Sounds like Vivek Ramaswamy.
Does.
Sounds like Vivek Ramaswamy.
Rather than getting mad at Trump for speaking the truth, people should start to take education more seriously and stop with everyone's equal woke crap.
So he almost got ratioed on this.
He came very close to getting ratioed on that.
But I like right underneath it, Jordan B. says, you're telling the same lies that Dinesh and Vivek tell.
When dusted for race, the U.S. tests in the same rage as Scandinavia and Eastern European countries.
When you say our education system, you expose yourself because it's primarily minorities dragging our scores down.
That's what Jordan B says.
But if you look at it, he's right about how Americans test.
So there it is.
So disingenuous.
Here are the 202U to 2022 PISA scores, separate ranking in purple for a further breakdown of the U.S.
U.S. white high school students outperform all of Europe.
So I'm not going to bother you with that.
Here's what Polish Knight USA says.
So logically, why do so many of these students come to the USA to go to university if our schools are so awful and run by illiterate Americans?
Why do H-1Bs products, meaning people who are H-1Bs, of the same university system with the same grades, take precedence over Americans?
So they come here, they go to school, they get an H-1B visa to work here.
Why do they take precedence over Americans?
And Grok says, yes, the H-1B program undermines and undercuts American workers by enforcing immobility that strips bargaining power,
allowing employers to maintain median wages without premium U.S. worker demand via job hopping.
So what I believe what Grok is saying there is that an H-1B visa limits the mobility of an H-1B employee.
Like you can't just go jump to another company.
You have to stay with the company that sponsored your H-1B visa.
I'm pretty sure that's what that means.
So now they become almost captured.
So they have less power with their employee, with their employer, as an American worker does, because an American worker can leave.
These workers can.
This enables displacements and wage suppression across entry, mid, and senior roles, prioritizing cost predictability over competitive talent markets.
While not absolute in every case, the structural incentives favor undercutting native labor dynamics, meaning undercutting American workers.
That's what Trump is doing.
And people voted for the exact opposite of this.
People voted for Trump to prioritize American workers, and they're not.
Just like Joe Biden gave H-1B visas to people to become truck drivers in the United States, as if we don't have enough people to do truck driving in America.
The reason Joe Biden did that was because he was in bed and in debt to the trucking industry and the companies who wanted to hire cheaper labor.
And so he gave H-1B visas on his way out the door to companies to hire foreign truck drivers.
And now Trump is doing the same thing, bringing in foreign workers.
And by the way, if you're a special talent, they already have a program that brings in special talent that we don't have in the United States.
And it's not the H-1B visa program.
There's another program that's already in place that allows you to bring in special talented people that have a talent that nobody else in the United States have.
We already have that program.
So the H-1B visas, it's not for people who have special talents that we don't have in America.
That's not that program.
That's a program for companies who want to save money on labor and don't want to pay Americans.
So they don't really have special talents or intellectual abilities that Americans don't have.
They just are going to be able to suppress their wages ultimately.
Yeah.
So these are all, these are Trumpers.
This is an utter betrayal of the entire base.
Even Kilgore, we have been betrayed.
These are Trump voters.
We have been betrayed.
Here's Kelly McCarty, former non-Bidenary.
That's a pretty funny name.
I'm sorry, but I disagree.
My daughter graduated 14th in her class, got a full STEM scholarship to her university, and has made straight A's.
She majored in business and computer science and couldn't even get an internship because of H-1Bs.
Her friends are also in the same situation.
Ask college-aged Gen Zs and millennials.
They're being replaced.
I don't.
So Trump is just gaslighting his base now.
You're an idiot and weak-minded if you think there's something to the Epstein case.
If you think groceries cost more, I don't want to hear it.
That's what he says.
And now he's saying we need to have 600,000 Chinese students in our universities.
And now he's saying we got to bring in people from India under H-1B visas because we don't have enough talent in America.
It is just gaslighting.
It's not going to work, which is why the Republicans got wiped out in the last election on Tuesday.
And believe me, that's nothing compared to what's going to happen in the midterms.
Mr. Rogers of crypto says, I'm sitting here with a BS, an MS, and an MBA, laid off by an Indian CEO, locked out of tech by an Indian mafia, about to lose my house.
This has nothing to do with talent in the USA and all to do with fraudulent, nepotistic Indians taking over tech thanks to DEI.
So these are very popular sentiments in the group of people who voted for Trump.
This guy, Dominic Michael Trippy, says, new, Trump says bringing in H-1B visa immigrants is necessary while denying that there's enough talented Americans to fill the same positions.
This is absolutely pathetic.
This week was an all-time low point, completely out of touch.
Yeah, because Trump told you in the same interview, we need 50-year mortgages.
We need to bring in 600,000 Chinese students, and we need to bring in H-1B visa workers.
In one interview, all-time low this week.
Oh, and Caspatel is suing people for criticizing Israel.
It's a bad week.
Bad week for MAGA.
Salty says, that's the salty Mormon, says, F this guy.
Trump is the greatest trader in American history.
50-year mortgages, 15-year car loans, 600,000 Chinese students, Antifa riots, bombing Iran, blatant cover-up of the Kirk assassination, complete and total Epstein cover-up, multiple other Israel cover-ups,
anti-Semitism crackdowns, Al-Qaeda at the White House, and they say low deportations.
So let's go a little bit more.
It's time to break from H-1B visas.
Who said that?
Mike Lee, Senator Mike Lee.
Senator Mike Lee said that.
Republican Mike Lee.
And here is a tweet from Nick Fuentes from a while ago.
This is from last October 24.
He says, our billboard on I-85 leading up to Trump's rally in Georgia today, it says replacing Americans legally, paid for by the America First Foundation, replacing Americans legally.
This was a billboard, and he says, shout out to Trump for stapling green cards to diplomas and replacing Americans with immigrants, but legally.
Wall Street Mab, again, these are all people who voted for Trump, says bringing in foreign talent to train Americans doesn't require a six-year H-1B visa.
They can come for one or two or three months to accomplish training without bringing their entire family.
No need to buy a house and set down roots.
No need to enroll their children in the school system.
Just come for a few weeks or months and then go home.
That's what people are saying.
Trump has let them down.
Trump announced that the food prices are down.
He said Walmart just announced that prices for a Thanksgiving dinner is now down 25% since under sleepy crooked Joe Biden in 2024.
Affordability is a Republican stronghold.
Hopefully, Republicans will use this irrefutable fact.
Spoiler alert, that's none of that's true.
Because here it is: Walmart's annual Thanksgiving meal returns serving 10 people for less than $4 a person.
Yeah, Walmart announced that it's the return of the beloved annual Thanksgiving meal.
The Incredible Basket offers 20 national and private brand items, including a butterball turkey for 97 cents per pound.
It's the lowest price since 2019 as a one-click basket serving 10 people for less than $40.
So what they don't tell you is that that basket is missing 15 items.
So the reason why it's 25% cheaper is because they took 15 items out of it.
And this post got community noted.
It said, missing context, the 2025 Walmart Thanksgiving meal contains 15 items, while the 2024 meal contained 21 items.
Additionally, most of the brand name items in the 2024 meal were replaced with great value items.
So they got rid of the brand names and gave you generics.
And they cut down, I was told it was 15.
So here it only says six, but I'm pretty sure it's more.
So here, here's what they gave you in 2024.
Here's what they're giving you in 2025.
That's a lot shorter list.
Oh.
That's a lot shorter list, isn't it?
And here's Donald Trump being asked about it.
Here's what he has to say.
You look at 25% reduction in costs for Thanksgiving between Biden and me, meaning this administration, that's a tremendous number.
It's the biggest reduction in cost in the history of that chart or whatever it is they do.
That they do a synopsis of everything.
They cover every element of Thanksgiving meals.
25% down.
So I don't want to hear about the affordability because right now we're much less.
I like how he says, I don't want to hear about the affordability.
Well, you know who does want it?
So that's not work.
That's not going to, that's called bad politics because people know that groceries cost more because they go and buy groceries, unlike Donald Trump.
And he thinks he's going to be able to bullshit people.
I don't want to hear about affordability.
But that's pretty much what Joe Biden was saying.
He's like, Fox News, 70% of Americans report higher grocery prices.
So that's not going to work.
So that thing that Donald Trump bluster and bullshit and basically is telling you, shut up and pay more.
I'm telling you, it's less.
Well, seven out of 10 Americans, according to Fox, according to Fox News, don't believe it.
A Fox News poll conducted in November reveals that 70% of Americans say grocery prices are higher than a year ago, with 60% attributing the increases to President Donald Trump.
USDA data supports this, showing a 2.7% rise in food at home prices over the past 12 months, including a 5.2% surge in meat prices linked to supply chain issues and tariffs.
While the Trump administration claims inflation is under control and highlights declines in egg prices, fact checks indicate persistent cumulative increases amid public frustration.
So I don't know what Donald Trump thinks.
So it's the new Charlie Brown special.
It's a get what you pay for Thanksgiving.
This is from Fortune magazine.
Trump keeps touting a Thanksgiving meal basket from Walmart that's 25% cheaper, but it has half as many items as last year.
This is where I got that from.
With Thanksgiving, blah, President Trump has claimed over the past two days that costs for the Thanksgiving meal are down 25%, citing a pre-packaged Thanksgiving meal basket from Walmart.
I just saw the Walmart came out with the state.
So we saw that.
This is misleading.
While Walmart's 2025 meal basket does cost about 25% less than the one from 2024, that's because it offers fewer items and different products that make it more affordable.
It's not apples to apples, right?
What this does highlight is individual retailer strategies for getting customers in the door.
In 2025, basket costs less than $40 and feeds 10 people, about $4 a head.
In 2024, a basket for eight costs $56, less than $7 per person.
So it actually went up $3 per person.
That's about a 25% decrease, possibly more depending on price fluctuations, said the CEO of Walmart.
But again, they're giving you about half as many items.
Our Thanksgiving meal basket this year is our best and most affordable.
At less than $4 per person, you can feed 10 people a full holiday meal for 25% less than the basket we had last year.
It provides meaningful savings on everything we all love about the Thanksgiving meal, including a butterball turkey at its lowest price since 2019.
And because every dollar in minute count, our basket gives you great food and great value with the convenience of one-click shopping and fast delivery.
Okay.
There's the guy.
But the baskets differ significantly.
For example, this year's includes just 15 items compared to last year's 29.
So that's where I got.
So this is almost half as many items.
You're not comparing apples to apples.
So it's half as many items.
It is missing many dessert items, including a pecan pie, mini marshmallows, and muffin mix, as well as savory items such as sweet potatoes, yellow onions, and celery stocks.
The superstore retailer has also substituted products.
Instead of a 12 sweet Hawaiian rolls, it just gives you 12 dinner rolls, which is not as cool as 12 sweet Hawaiian rolls.
Both are from Walmart store brand.
It also offers Kinder's crispy fried onions as opposed to French's.
So they're giving you cheaper items also.
Plus, the amount of each item varies.
Customers were promised a 10 to 16 pound turkey in 2024, but now it's just a 13.5 pound.
And they'll get one can of cream of mushroom soup instead of two.
They're marketing it as, hey, this is a more affordable way.
Yet that implies that, man, stuff's a lot more expensive, Anderson said.
I guess it's good marketing.
A Thursday press release from the White House also cited cheaper Thanksgiving deals at Liddy's Aldi's Target and Schnooks.
Okay.
And if it's any consolation, people are 25% less happy than they were last year with their basket of food.
Just so you know.
Okay.
Ron Smith says Trump has epic meltdown when a reporter fact checks him.
So here's the reporter.
So turn up the volume on this one.
Here's the reporter saying, hey, wait a minute.
That Walmart basket that you're touting as 25% cheaper has about 15 fewer items in it.
And listen to what he says.
Since you brought up the Walmart Thanksgiving meal, and it is cheaper, but it also contains less.
I haven't heard that.
You're telling me.
Who are you with?
Who are you with?
Fake news.
NBC.
Your fake news.
NBC's gone down the tubes along with most of the rest of them.
So I think fake news is the perfect outfit to cover the fake food savings from Walmart.
So the truth is people are paying more.
70% of Americans know they're paying more for their groceries.
Doing a switcheroo on your Walmart Thanksgiving basket is not going to trick people into thinking they're getting more money, more food for less.
That's not happening.
Yeah, there's the that I don't, I can't, who cares about that?
But so there you go.
Turns out you're getting a lot of propaganda.
And the Walmart Thanksgiving basket is not actually cheaper.
You know why it's cheaper?
They're giving you half the food.
That's why.
You want two cans of cream mushroom soup?
You're getting one.
You want an onion?
Nope.
You want celery?
Nope.
Not getting it.
You want some pecan pie?
Nope.
Not getting it.
You want some fluffy cocoa marshmallow mix?
Not getting it.
All that stuff you got.
And you're getting a smaller turkey.
You want a 16-pound turkey?
Nope.
Give me a 13-pound turkey.
Okay, fantastic.
Way to go.
So just keep bullshitting people.
That stuff of, I don't want to hear when he says this, this is a guy who's not running for office again.
You look at 25% reduction in costs for Thanksgiving between Biden and me, meaning this administration, that's a tremendous number.
That's a tremendous, it's the biggest reduction in cost in the history of that chart or whatever it is they do.
They do a synopsis of everything.
They cover every element of Thanksgiving meals.
25% down.
So I don't want to hear about the affordability because right now we're much less.
If you look at energy, we're getting close to $2 a gallon gasoline.
With Biden, it was $4.50, $5.
Another thing, inflation.
We had the worst inflation in the history of our country.
Now we have virtually no inflation at all.
It sounded a very low number and a very normal number.
So the affordability is much better with the Republicans.
The only problem is the Republicans don't talk about it.
And Republicans should start talking about it and use their heads because we have great numbers.
We have greatest, and they're going to only get better when all these jobs open up, all these factories open up that are being built all over our country.
I mean, we are building auto plants.
We're building AI plants.
We're leading in AI over China and everybody else.
When all of these plants start opening, we're going to have a revolution, a positive revolution, economic revolution like never before.
Thank you very much, everybody.
Thank you.
So we're building both auto plants and AI plants.
What good is an auto plant if there's no humans working inside that auto plant if it's staffed by robots and AI that take away people's jobs?
Are robots going to start driving to work in your car?
So if it's just robots working inside these at AI, how can we afford the cars they're making if we don't have jobs?
Anyway, there you go.
Donald Trump does a fake switcheroo on the Walmart Thanksgiving basket, pretending that means food prices are down when they're actually up.
And 70% of the people in America know food prices are up.
And that's from a Fox News poll.
So here's Donald Trump talking about how great health care is in a place called Ireland where they have socialized medicine.
Let's listen.
I would like to see a plan.
I would like to see a plan that could be better and cost less for the people.
And you can do that.
And I've told this story many times.
I have traveled to other countries and while in the other country, I have injured myself.
And I have had to go to a hospital or to a clinic, a clinic, and had myself taken care of.
And in one case, it was I had an armory attached.
And at the end of the procedure, they said here, they wrote me up.
They said, go to the, it was like $12.
$12.
Now it's true.
So now, what would be the same?
Well, I had an instance in Scotland where a friend of mine was in Scotland recently.
He got very, very sick.
They took him by ambulance.
He was there for four days.
He was really in trouble.
And they released him.
And he said, where do I pay?
They said, there's no charge.
And not only that, he said it was like great doctors, great care.
I mean, we could have a great system in this country.
Are people afraid of socialism?
Well, they're afraid of a lot of things.
I mean, I think they're afraid of a lot of things, but mostly it's incompetence.
I mean, how do you spend, I mean, this is a number that's a real number.
How do you spend $5 billion on a website, just the creation of the site itself, and it doesn't work?
So there are things, and the fraud and abuse are incredible, as you understand.
But it would be great to have...
Fraud and abuse.
Can you prove to me that there has been fraud and abuse?
Let's see the paperwork.
Just look at your doctor's bills.
I mean, you look at the doctor's bills and you look at what some of these doctors do and some of the money that they make.
And you go to other countries and you see what they make.
It's a whole different world.
And there are things that you could do to give unbelievable health care at a lesser cost, not only to the government, but to the people and a much better health care system.
And there are a lot of things.
And so now he's in his second term as president and he hasn't done any of them.
What are the things?
Yeah, where is that guy?
Where is that guy?
I want that guy to be president.
Why isn't that guy president?
The guy who knows that we could get better health care at a cheaper price.
And there's things you could do to do.
And he's been to other countries and it works wonderfully.
And there's no charge.
And the doctors are great.
And they take care.
And they say, where is that guy?
Where is that guy?
So you've been lied to about healthcare.
And the Republicans are still lying to you about healthcare and the Democrats too, because the Democrats gave you this horrible Obamacare, which is nothing but a giveaway to the health insurance in Big Pharma.
That's all it is, which is why we pay twice as much, 100% more than people do in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Ireland, Scotland.
That's why we pay twice as much for worse service.
And you still go bankrupt when you get sick.
So I want that guy to be president.
And Marjorie Taylor.
That's the guy who destroyed a political dynasty.
That's the guy who destroyed the Bush dynasty, Jimmy.
That's the guy who destroyed the old guard and the Republican Party.
Trump now is washed.
He's completely washed now.
And like, I know you did this many times, Jamie, but if you guys ever have conversations with conservatives, like I actually find them much more easy to win over than even like the more food adjusted liberals on this issue.
Because I appeal to their pro-family values.
Like, how can you say you are supportive of family values, concerned about family values, if you support bankrupting a family when they have a child?
Like, whenever you hear like other Europeans and Asians hear about how much it's cost for an American family to have a child, it always like causes a panic attack in them because it's completely absurd.
You're going to put a family in debt for having children.
But what's more pro-family than having universal health care?
What's more pro-family than having child care?
What's more pro-family than paying a living wage to workers so you can have one breadwinner in a family?
Like, if you want one breadwinner, you don't want a system where workers have to force both parents to work.
You want a high minimum wage.
You want a high income for the working class.
You want child care.
You want health care.
And whenever I have conversations with conservatives, when I do mutual aid, because I live in the red state, I'm used to talking to Republicans way more than these coastal elite Democrats.
I'm very uncomfortable talking to those people, Jimmy.
But I talk to these people, I'm like, what about family values and conservative values?
Which, how does that not lead you to supporting universal health care?
Which I don't even think this is a socialist issue, Jimmy.
Like, I don't think it is because capitalist countries have it.
It's common sense if you're going to have a coherent, well-vibe in society to have something like universal health care.
I think it's pro-family.
I think that's something that can reach conservatives, which is why around one in four Republicans support, which I think was, I don't know if I'm being delusional.
I think that's a great number.
Plus, the amount of independents, I think most people realize what we're saying on this issue now.
Depending on how you ask the question, 70% of Republicans agree that the government has to play a role in healthcare.
Depending on how you ask the question, 70% of Republicans agree that, yes, the government needs to play a role in healthcare.
And so depending on, again, and so if you're so we're so you've been duped into thinking that somehow Medicare is worse than Blue Cross, that somehow Medicare is worse than Aetna, that somehow, by the way, it's not,
and it saves you 100% of the money.
So all the money you spend on healthcare every year, you could cut it in half and put that money in your pocket if we had Medicare for all, and you would get better service.
And people go, oh, you don't want the government to run your health care.
Well, right now, big pharma and health insurance companies run our health care, and that's why we pay 100% more.
Can someone tell me what a health insurance company actually provides?
What value do they add to your health care?
Zero.
All they do is they take a third of all the money you're spending and put it in their pocket, if not more.
So they don't add any value to your health care.
If we got rid of the insurance companies, you would have more money for healthcare.
And you've been lied to.
You've been lied to.
You've been tricked.
Just like you were lied to in the Iraq war.
You got lied to the Afghanistan war, lied to into a Ukraine war.
You're going to get lied to in the Venezuela law.
You're getting lied to into this healthcare has to come from an insurance company.
That's a lie.
Ask anybody who's on Medicare.
Nobody wants to go back.
Go to another country and ask them if they, you know, I've gotten, I've been to these countries.
Nobody wants to trade places with the United States healthcare.
Nobody.
And in fact, if you travel and you can buy travel insurance, you know, so if you're like a retired person and you travel 12 months a year, you can't, and if you buy travel insurance for your health care,
you can't stay in the United States more than three months because that's how they know how expensive it is in the United States.
And so if you get the international health insurance, you cannot stay in the United States for more than three months or else they'll cancel your health insurance because it's too expensive in the United States and they know it.
So more really suspicious news coming out of the university where Charlie, Utah University, where Charlie Kirk was assassinated.
Turns out that they wanted the, so you know how they paved over the crime scene where he was assassinated?
They literally paved over it.
They scrubbed it and then they, on the walls and the ceiling, they re-stuccoed it.
That this has really happened.
This happened.
This happened immediately.
So what they're doing is tampering with a crime scene.
And they're trying to cover up something.
That's why you would do that.
The crime scene should be preserved.
Usually you preserve a crime scene so that investigators, maybe the defense counsel's investigators can go back and look at it so they could prepare a defense.
Well, they've covered over it.
They've covered over the crime scene.
So there's no investigation to be done there.
Workers, this is from Reuters.
Workers install pavers after fatal shooting of Trump ally Charlie Kirk.
So that's from September 15th.
That's how fast they did it.
So he was assassinated on the 10th, September 10th.
On the 15th, they already had it paved over.
This is really happening.
And, you know, any cop worth their badge knows that the best thing to do before any investigation of a crime scene is to bring a redecorator in like a wedding planner and have them turn the place into something fun and colorful so that everybody forgets.
Here is Julius Rump says, three days after Charlie Kirk's assassination, they literally bricked over the exact location of the crime scene.
I mean, that's just totally normal.
So shut the F up.
There it is.
They totally paved over the crime scene.
That's kind of remarkable.
Just three days after, I guess they did it on the 13th or the 14th.
Wow.
And so guess what?
The Utah Valley of University leaked text messages obtained in a public request.
It shows that the university immediately requested the entire area where Charlie Kirk was assassinated to be paved over.
And they're talking about their workers keeping quiet.
This is real.
Here we go.
Remember how we all thought it was weird that UVU was renovating the courtyard where Charlie Kirk was assassinated only a few days after the fact?
Then how a UVU official addressed this saying that it wasn't an attempt to cover up anything, that the paving work was already on the calendar as part of a planned campus renovation.
Well, it turns out that UVU was reaching out to construction companies on Saturday, September 13th, only three days after the assassination.
Text messages were obtained by Project Constitution via a grandma request, which allows the public to request access to government records, including state universities.
Now, the names are redacted, but it shows that as early as Saturday, September 13th, they were looking to paver the whole area and that the guys in the construction company were en route to do that.
And this one's weird.
Maybe that would be good.
My guys are well trained in keeping quiet.
Why do they need to be quiet?
The exchange goes.
My guys are well trained.
It's just a construction company saying my guys are well trained in keeping quiet.
Did they do the construction on Epstein Island?
Maybe they did the Obama Library too.
That place looks like it has a torture dungeon built right in it.
I would think twice.
If I was in construction, I would think twice about working for people who have to worry about you talking about your construction.
They might come up with a permanent solution that doesn't exactly fit with your life plans, if you know what I mean.
So anyway, hang on.
Help people trained in keeping quiet.
Why do they need to be quiet?
The exchange goes on to say that the university wants to get rid of all of the sod.
The contractor asking if there's anybody on site that they should coordinate with, and someone responding, just get her done.
Thank you.
Usually, a renovation like this would have to go through approvals and funding, not to mention it was a crime scene.
Plus, if this was previously planned, would you need to be asking all of these questions, including making design decisions?
So you have to wonder, how did they get this approval and who gave it to them and why?
Those are all legitimate questions.
Those are questions Megan Kelly has no interest in, which I find hilarious.
But I certainly, and I'm sure Candace Owens is interested.
I'm certainly interested.
And I'm sure most of the people who care anything about Charlie Kirk or this case are interested in this.
I've been touting this.
Again, you think this would be front page news?
You think this would be the top story on every news show?
Hey, they paved over this thing.
And now we find out, first of all, the paving, the paving over three days after should have been top story.
It wasn't.
It wasn't even covered.
And the fact that now we have these text messages that reveal that they were asking the construction people to shut up.
Hey, do you got construction people who know how to shut up?
What?
And then they lied.
So they lied, said, no, this was in the plans all along.
Well, if it was in the plans all along, as she said, why are you reaching out three days afterwards to find a construction company?
Why are you trying to find a construction company with employees that know how to keep their mouths shut?
What?
Anyway, she makes a lot of great points.
So I think, and by here, here's a bigger, we heard the media was bothering your team.
Shall we send a uniform over?
Maybe that would be good.
My guys are well trained in keeping quiet.
So send a cop over to get the media away from us.
That's what this is.
I think, and then this name is redacted.
I think that person is on it with your media folks.
Okay, there you have it.
What?
My guys are well trained in keeping quiet.
Isn't that interesting?
So maybe, so how do they keep the get them to keep quiet?
So maybe everybody at that construction company has a criminal record and they don't want any trouble.
Or maybe they're all in the closet and they don't want to be outed.
Or maybe they're on the same construction team that did 9-11.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I'm just spitballing here.
Or maybe all of the above.
So these are the questions that I'm still shocked that someone like Megan Kelly, who considers herself a top newswoman, isn't interested in.
She doesn't ask any of these questions.
She doesn't look for the answers to any of this stuff.
And none of this stuff is a red flag to her.
And I don't mean to pick on Megan Kelly.
I've just been covering her a lot.
And nobody else is interested in this, these questions, right?
So it's, and I'm not, I'm not picking on Megan Kelly.
I'm saying that because she says she accepts the official story 100%, and she has no questions about it.
And she doesn't watch Candace Owens, so she doesn't know any of the criticisms of the official story.
So that's why I bring it up because she's publicly said she believes the Kash Patel ridiculous story about what happened.
That's why I bring it up.
And yeah, why aren't more people interested in why they paved over that thing immediately?
And now we find out they're lying about it.
That they were reached out three days afterwards to find a construction crew that knew how to keep their mouth shut.
