| One poll has come out that uh the president's plan to impose tariffs on China is almost universally opposed by the media, but another indication of how far out of touch these media experts really are, the American people support tariffs by a landslide majority. | |
| Overall, 62% of Americans now agree with the sentiment that the tariffs are worth the risk to get better trade deals. | |
| And that's the part that I don't think the media understands is that this president is a constant, perpetual, never-ending negotiator. | |
| Everything is open to negotiate. | |
| Every single thing is about negotiation. | |
| I'll give you another example. | |
| Since Larry Cudlow now has joined the administration, remember the president signed that horrible omnibus bill, and then the president found that 1974 act, and they're now looking at this huge rescation package. | |
| And and basically we all know that the tr that this was not a bill that was fiscally conservative. | |
| And we all criticized it at the time, rightly so. | |
| Anyway, what it beefed up domestic and military spending. | |
| The president desperately wanted the military spending because of the depletion of our military and our needs, and especially at the threat level that we now face today and what happened during the Obama years. | |
| That was the most important thing. | |
| But we didn't have the money that was for the wall to be built completely, only 1.6 billion dollars. | |
| And uh they didn't do a DACA fix in the deal. | |
| And anyway, so Republicans now they got an earful from their base about adding billions to the twenty-one trillion dollar national debt, and they're now demanding border wall funding. | |
| So now with the White House, they're working with Congress. | |
| They have within the next about 40 days left, or a little less than that, 39 days left, the Republican Party on the Hill has finally figured out it's a really it's not a bad idea to trim some of the pork that they approved in this bill. | |
| And in the Senate you only need 51 votes. | |
| And Cudlow is out there saying, because after all the spending can lead to deficits, spending interferes with the economy, and the president believes in deregulation and tax cutting. | |
| So let's do that. |
