average ░░░░░░░░ in the history of ░░░░░░░░ White House came up ░░░░░░░░ a plan and lost ░░░░░░░░ billion 10 trillion in ░░░░░░░░ couple of days he ░░░░░░░░ be dead He would ░░░░░░░░ been run out of ░░░░░░░░ But Donald Trump had ░░░░░░░░ plan And it is ░░░░░░░░ and everybody feels it ░░░░░░░░ he has the opportunity ░░░░░░░░ reset everything around the ░░░░░░░░ when it comes to ░░░░░░░░ and save money And ░░░░░░░░ it works it will ░░░░░░░░ fantastic And people have ░░░░░░░░ fingers crossed that it ░░░░░░░░ work FAULKNER Senator John ░░░░░░░░ you know so famous ░░░░░░░░ his leadership and his ░░░░░░░░ quotes of the great ░░░░░░░░ of Louisiana was saying ░░░░░░░░ Friday at that point ░░░░░░░░ was saying look we ░░░░░░░░ in unchartered territory And ░░░░░░░░ said well the rest ░░░░░░░░ the world is in ░░░░░░░░ territory too Let s ░░░░░░░░ what they do Lydia ░░░░░░░░ want to get you ░░░░░░░░ comment on this the ░░░░░░░░ of the trade negotiations ░░░░░░░░ major partners Can we ░░░░░░░░ a look at the ░░░░░░░░ Those who are trying ░░░░░░░░ negotiate are in the ░░░░░░░░ left of this wall ░░░░░░░░ who ve offered concessions ░░░░░░░░ who ve retaliated China ░░░░░░░░ Canada And Canada of ░░░░░░░░ tried to take a ░░░░░░░░ against the United States ░░░░░░░░ to the World Trade ░░░░░░░░ We ll follow that ░░░░░░░░ see how that goes ░░░░░░░░ s mostly political Possible ░░░░░░░░ you see the European ░░░░░░░░ although they were offering ░░░░░░░░ take trade to zero ░░░░░░░░ would be interesting tariffs ░░░░░░░░ zero And then no ░░░░░░░░ Mexico Your take on ░░░░░░░░ Lydia HU You know ░░░░░░░░ think the countries that ░░░░░░░░ responding saying no retaliation ░░░░░░░░ want to talk are ░░░░░░░░ countries that are responding ░░░░░░░░ to this because they ░░░░░░░░ President Trump is not ░░░░░░░░ to play around You ░░░░░░░░ to your point DOOCY ░░░░░░░░ kidding HU No kidding ░░░░░░░░ know to your point ░░░░░░░░ that I thought was ░░░░░░░░ well taken is that ░░░░░░░░ presidents if they had ░░░░░░░░ 10 trillion in the ░░░░░░░░ they would have been ░░░░░░░░ out of town DOOCY ░░░░░░░░ HU logged in the ░░░░░░░░ square right That s ░░░░░░░░ what we re seeing ░░░░░░░░ President Trump And I ░░░░░░░░ it s because he ░░░░░░░░ he s not just ░░░░░░░░ president of Wall Street ░░░░░░░░ CEOs and publicly traded ░░░░░░░░ Yes it s very ░░░░░░░░ but that s only ░░░░░░░░ metric to use when ░░░░░░░░ re measuring the reaction ░░░░░░░░ s roughly 40 percent ░░░░░░░░ Americans that are not ░░░░░░░░ to the stock market ░░░░░░░░ Right HU And what ░░░░░░░░ they have to say ░░░░░░░░ this How are they ░░░░░░░░ And I think he ░░░░░░░░ very well because he ░░░░░░░░ that message during the ░░░░░░░░ And I am so ░░░░░░░░ for my job on ░░░░░░░░ Business because I get ░░░░░░░░ travel the country occasionally ░░░░░░░░ talk to everyday Americans ░░░░░░░░ Main Street businesses about ░░░░░░░░ they re thinking And ░░░░░░░░ did that just last ░░░░░░░░ when I went through ░░░░░░░░ southeast through Alabama and ░░░░░░░░ Mississippi And over and ░░░░░░░░ and over I heard ░░░░░░░░ everyday Americans business owners ░░░░░░░░ were talking about how ░░░░░░░░ re worried about our ░░░░░░░░ manufacturing base the trade ░░░░░░░░ the unfair practices overseas ░░░░░░░░ keep wages depressed that ░░░░░░░░ manufacturing away from us ░░░░░░░░ currency manipulation that makes ░░░░░░░░ products more attainable more ░░░░░░░░ for us They re ░░░░░░░░ of it And they ░░░░░░░░ excited that Harris they ░░░░░░░░ going to have a ░░░░░░░░ that s going to ░░░░░░░░ for them FAULKNER Right ░░░░░░░░ Meadows was on with ░░░░░░░░ last hour We hadn ░░░░░░░░ seen him in a ░░░░░░░░ Former White House chief ░░░░░░░░ staff for Trump And ░░░░░░░░ and I were just ░░░░░░░░ about how you lay ░░░░░░░░ out in the messaging ░░░░░░░░ is supreme at that ░░░░░░░░ How do you think ░░░░░░░░ s going so far ░░░░░░░░ Absolutely I love seeing ░░░░░░░░ Meadows I thought his ░░░░░░░░ was spot on The ░░░░░░░░ deserves great admiration and ░░░░░░░░ on what they are ░░░░░░░░ We are only a ░░░░░░░░ in but the resolve ░░░░░░░░ have shown in the ░░░░░░░░ of so many headwinds ░░░░░░░░ impressive In fact Politico ░░░░░░░░ to some Trump insiders ░░░░░░░░ the West Wing and ░░░░░░░░ said we ve never ░░░░░░░░ a backbone like this ░░░░░░░░ any issue They were ░░░░░░░░ steadfast in what they ░░░░░░░░ doing And in fact ░░░░░░░░ insiders shared internal polling ░░░░░░░░ showed that the working ░░░░░░░░ voters of this country ░░░░░░░░ what President Trump is ░░░░░░░░ And why is that ░░░░░░░░ know Scott Bessent laid ░░░░░░░░ out so well He ░░░░░░░░ the top 10 percent ░░░░░░░░ this country own 80 ░░░░░░░░ of equities 80 percent ░░░░░░░░ the stocks The next ░░░░░░░░ percent own 12 percent ░░░░░░░░ ll do some simple ░░░░░░░░ and almost 100 percent ░░░░░░░░ the stock market is ░░░░░░░░ by the top half ░░░░░░░░ the country Well what ░░░░░░░░ the bottom half Scott ░░░░░░░░ mentioned these are individuals ░░░░░░░░ credit card debt some ░░░░░░░░ whom have lost their ░░░░░░░░ their manufacturing communities have ░░░░░░░░ decimated That is what ░░░░░░░░ is about President Trump ░░░░░░░░ for the working man ░░░░░░░░ I would also say ░░░░░░░░ someone who deserves probably ░░░░░░░░ much commendation as anyone ░░░░░░░░ than President Trump himself ░░░░░░░░ Scott Bessent He has ░░░░░░░░ right on on the ░░░░░░░░ where others have been ░░░░░░░░ there saying there s ░░░░░░░░ negotiation here Scott Bessent ░░░░░░░░ your point Steve has ░░░░░░░░ in and said we ░░░░░░░░ to talk about the ░░░░░░░░ game We need to ░░░░░░░░ about negotiations Trump has ░░░░░░░░ that from the beginning ░░░░░░░░ did that in a ░░░░░░░░ He did that every ░░░░░░░░ he s been asked ░░░░░░░░ Scott Bessent I d ░░░░░░░░ that man in charge ░░░░░░░░ economic messaging He knows ░░░░░░░░ he s doing The ░░░░░░░░ are showing it DOOCY ░░░░░░░░ should be Secretary of ░░░░░░░░ MCENANY: “He should be.”
