It's another busy week on

0:07

the Mike Gallagher show and our

0:10

week in review podcast welcome aboard

0:12

apparently in Minnesota it is absolutely

0:14

fine to vandalize cars as long

0:16

as they're Tesla's plus Steven Moore

0:18

stops by to go over Trump's

0:20

tariff policy but first we got

0:23

to start with a huge story

0:25

this week the push to give

0:27

suspected MS -13 gang member Or, as

0:29

the Democrats call him, Maryland man,

0:31

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, due

0:33

process. Check

0:36

out Dana Bash asking

0:38

Van Hollen yesterday repeatedly.

0:41

I mean, repeatedly. Is

0:44

Abrego Garcia an MS

0:46

-13 gang member or

0:48

not? Pay very

0:50

close attention to Chris

0:52

Van Hollen's answer. More

0:55

specifically, his non -answer.

0:58

Can you say with absolute certainty that he

1:00

is not, nor has he ever been a

1:02

member of the MS -13 gang? And did

1:04

you ask him point blank? Well,

1:08

Dana, what Donald Trump is trying

1:10

to do here is change the

1:12

subject. The subject at hand is

1:14

that he and - Stop it,

1:17

stop it right there. Stop it

1:19

right there. Isn't that amazing? He's

1:21

on CNN and now he's shocked.

1:23

He's like, uh -oh, uh -oh. Dana,

1:26

who I thought was on my

1:28

side, is asking me a

1:30

trick question. And I

1:32

love that when a politician is

1:34

asked, what did you have for

1:36

breakfast this morning? Well, you

1:38

know, my car is green. I

1:41

mean, that answer, that's not

1:43

edited. That's in real time. This

1:46

is unedited. Play it again from the

1:48

beginning, Christian. She just asks a

1:50

question that, and good for her.

1:53

I'm not a big Dan Abash fan, but

1:55

good for her. Is he a

1:57

gang member or not? Listen to the

1:59

guy's answer. Can you say

2:01

with absolute certainty that he is not,

2:03

nor has he ever been a member of

2:05

the MS -13 gang? And did you ask

2:07

him point blank? Well,

2:11

Dana, what Donald Trump is trying

2:13

to do here is change the

2:15

subject, the subject at hand. is

2:18

that he and his administration are

2:20

defying a court order to give

2:22

a Brego Garcia his due process

2:24

rights. They are trying to litigate

2:26

on social media what they should

2:28

be doing in the courts. They

2:30

need to put up or shut

2:32

up in the courts. Let me

2:34

tell you, I decided to write

2:36

this down so I could be

2:38

absolutely accurate as to what federal

2:40

district court judge Zinnis said about

2:42

these allegations by the Trump administration.

2:45

Quote, no evidence It's linking

2:47

Abrego Garcia to MS -13 or

2:49

any terrorist activity has been

2:51

presented to the court. That's

2:54

where to litigate this. It's

2:56

been litigated in many other places. So

2:58

I'm not going to get into the

3:00

details because the whole purpose of our

3:02

court system is for them to adjudicate

3:04

these things, not for Donald Trump to

3:06

go off on social media. Can

3:11

you confirm or deny that

3:13

he's a gang member? And

3:15

did you ask him? Well,

3:17

what President Trump wants to

3:19

do? And

3:21

I don't think the guy

3:23

even recognizes what a

3:25

fool he sounds like. These

3:28

are not serious people. You know,

3:30

I say this over and over

3:32

again. These are not serious people.

3:35

Now, look, people of good faith can disagree. There's,

3:38

you know, a very

3:40

popular podcaster named Joe

3:43

Rogan who Absolutely

3:45

is all in for due

3:47

process for this gang member.

3:49

I don't know why Joe

3:51

Rogan believes that we should

3:53

give constitutional rights to somebody

3:55

who snuck into the country

3:57

and doesn't belong here. Who's

3:59

a criminal? Who's a gang

4:01

member? Who is by definition?

4:03

A terrorist who else Salvador's

4:05

president says no, no, we're

4:07

going to keep this guy

4:09

incarcerated. But here was Joe

4:11

Rogan. I'm a big believer

4:13

in people of good faith

4:15

having good faith debate, not

4:17

just name calling and not

4:19

just back and forth. Here's

4:21

Joe Rogan on his podcast.

4:24

If you wanted to, like, destroy society and

4:26

make it worse, what would you do? You

4:28

bring people in from a third world country,

4:30

don't have them change anything, financially incentivize them

4:32

to be there, give them free money while

4:35

you're not helping the poor people in America.

4:37

They would give them debit cards, free housing,

4:39

free food, putting them up in

4:41

the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City.

4:43

Why, yo? If you wanted to destroy

4:45

society, that's how you would do it.

4:47

That's how you would do it. I

4:49

mean, that sounds like it's working. Like

4:51

it's going in that direction. So the

4:53

problem with things that are going in

4:55

a radical direction and then there's an

4:57

overcorrection. So the overcorrection is lack of

4:59

due process. The overcorrection is

5:01

like round them all up, ship them

5:03

to jail. Like that's like some

5:05

things that you say when you're not

5:07

thinking things through. Like, what do you do

5:09

about all the criminals? Take them all

5:11

and send them to El Salvador. Yeah. What

5:13

about due process? No, but here's the

5:15

problem. What if you

5:17

are an enemy of, let's not

5:20

say any current president, let's pretend

5:22

we got a new president, totally

5:24

new guy in 2028 and this

5:26

is a common practice now of

5:28

just rounding up gang members with

5:30

no due process and shipping them

5:32

to El Salvador. You're

5:34

a gang member. No, I'm not. Prove it. What?

5:37

I want to go to court. No, no due

5:39

process. That's

5:41

dangerous, Joe. That's dangerous. That's

5:43

dangerous. That's dangerous. We've

5:46

got to be careful that we

5:48

don't become monsters while we're fighting monsters.

5:51

Now, here's the problem with Joe Rogan's

5:53

argument. It's a straw man argument. The

5:55

hypothetical he puts up is an apples

5:57

to apples. Joe Biden opened

5:59

the floodgates and the Democrats had

6:01

opened borders for years. We

6:03

have millions of people, many of

6:05

whom are committing horrible crimes

6:08

against American citizens. So

6:10

there's no question it's a challenge. Joe

6:13

Rogan hasn't thought through

6:16

how difficult it's going

6:18

to be to try

6:20

to track down every

6:22

illegal, including gang

6:24

members, and provide them

6:26

with trials and appeals

6:29

and hearings in the

6:31

United States court system

6:33

after the Democrats and

6:35

Biden inundated America with

6:37

millions and millions of

6:40

illegals. So, look, we

6:42

always knew this was going to be a

6:44

hassle. We always knew how hard it was going

6:46

to be. And I

6:48

don't mind presenting both sides of an issue. Frankly,

6:51

if it's between Joe Rogan

6:53

and Senator Chris Van Hollen

6:55

or the Trump administration, I'm

6:58

with the Trump administration. If it's between

7:00

Joe Rogan and Tom Holman, I'm

7:02

with Tom Holman. Not

7:07

only does the radical left

7:09

want foreign criminals free in our

7:11

country, they want domestic criminals

7:13

to roam free too. Colonel Kurt

7:15

Schlichter from townhall .com joined us

7:17

to discuss the latest in

7:19

Tesla terrorism. I gotta

7:21

tackle what I think is the biggest

7:23

story that won't be covered in the mainstream

7:25

media of the week, and it's right

7:27

up your alley. I'm reading The

7:29

Washington Times this morning. The

7:32

Soros prosecutor in

7:34

Minneapolis has made the

7:36

Solomon -like decision not

7:38

to criminally charge

7:40

the jerk who the

7:42

police say committed

7:45

over $20 ,000 of

7:47

damage to people's Teslas.

7:49

It turns out he's a state employee in Minnesota, works

7:52

for Waltz. He's going

7:54

around keying a bunch of

7:57

Teslas, over 20 grand

7:59

worth of damages as he's

8:01

walking his dumb dog. Kurt,

8:04

the prosecutor said, we don't

8:06

want to charge him criminally. That

8:08

could impact his job and his

8:10

reputation. We're going to put him

8:12

in diversion. We're going

8:14

to hold him financially responsible, but we're

8:17

not going to give him any

8:19

criminal charges because, after all, that's what

8:21

we do here in Minnesota. We're

8:23

Minnesota nice. Kurt, if that

8:25

doesn't sum up the state

8:27

of today's Democrat activist radical

8:29

lunatic party, nothing does. Well,

8:31

look, not that I want to

8:33

defend Minnesota, but I

8:35

think that may be the same thing

8:38

they do with all crimes. In other

8:40

words, I think they may be treating

8:42

him just like they treat all criminals, which

8:44

is that they let everybody off.

8:48

You know, so maybe we finally

8:50

found one example where there's

8:52

not a two -tier justice system.

8:55

I don't know. I don't know

8:57

what the Minnesota prosecutor does.

8:59

I do know that we have

9:01

a Department of Justice and

9:03

I do know it is a

9:05

federal crime to violate somebody's

9:08

civil rights. And I've seen crazier

9:10

filings of the Department of

9:12

Justice, mostly against conservatives. But

9:15

look, if somebody's

9:17

going around systematically causing

9:20

damage, sabotage, you

9:22

could call it vandalism,

9:25

to people's property because

9:27

of their politics, I

9:29

think there are federal laws that

9:32

may be impacted because they're obviously

9:34

doing it to gain a political

9:36

effect. And I think this is

9:38

exact. And I do think this

9:40

is exactly the kind of case.

9:43

where if you want to clamp

9:45

down on political violence, when

9:47

we seem to have a problem

9:49

with that, just ask

9:51

the United Health Care guy, a

9:54

way you can't, because they

9:56

murdered him, or maybe ask

9:58

the president, who

10:00

was literally shot and a

10:02

couple of other people

10:04

wounded and one killed. If

10:07

we want to clamp down on

10:09

and I think we need to clamp

10:11

down on it, this would be

10:13

something where federal action might be a

10:15

good idea, and it's not unprecedented. The

10:18

federal government came in and stepped

10:20

in in southern states, where Democrats

10:22

in power there, and they were

10:25

Democrats, refused to charge

10:27

white terrorists with attacking

10:29

black civil rights workers, so

10:31

the feds went and

10:33

did it. And I

10:35

think it's important to Establish

10:39

that this is unacceptable and

10:41

they're accepting it and You

10:43

know, I think they're I

10:45

don't think this kind of

10:47

crime can be treated like

10:49

every other crime Okay, so

10:51

if you have some guy

10:53

who's just out keying random

10:55

cars because he's a jerk

10:57

I think that is a

10:59

measurably different situation that goes

11:01

out randomly keying well not

11:03

randomly keying cars but doing

11:05

it to intimidate

11:07

people because of their

11:10

politics. Democrats

11:13

often live in an echo chamber

11:15

where their idiotic ideas are parroted

11:17

by one another. But what happens

11:19

when one Democrat lawmaker goes on

11:21

Fox News to argue for the

11:23

rights of illegal aliens? Well, you're

11:25

about to find out. Democrats

11:28

divided over support

11:30

for the MS

11:32

-13 gang member. I

11:35

mean, this is like real world.

11:37

This is supposed to be real life.

11:40

Democrats are divided over whether or

11:42

not to back an MS -13 gang

11:44

member from El Salvador. There's a debate

11:46

about that, don't you know? Anybody

11:48

debating the status of

11:51

the MS -13 gang member

11:53

within the Republican Party? Do

11:55

we have any Republicans pushing

11:57

back against deporting illegals who

12:00

are gang members? Is

12:02

this really a heavy lift? Is

12:05

it hard to

12:07

say it's a good

12:09

idea to kick

12:11

illegal immigrants who are

12:13

violent, dangerous gang

12:15

members out of the

12:18

country? Due

12:21

process, due

12:23

process. Laura

12:26

Ingram battled Congresswoman Yasmin

12:28

Ansari, who's a Democrat

12:30

from Arizona last night.

12:32

on Fox News channel.

12:35

This was fairly amusing to

12:37

watch. Every American

12:39

should be concerned about this.

12:42

wait. Congresswoman, I know you can't

12:44

mean that, and I'm not trying

12:47

to play gotcha here. I know

12:49

you don't mean that American citizens

12:51

are distractions. No,

12:54

victims aren't distractions. are changing the subject.

12:56

Today we are here to talk about

12:58

the lack of due process for an

13:00

individual who is illegally deported from this

13:02

country. That is the subject. But you

13:04

have any other act of violence. But

13:06

Congresswoman, I've given you just so everyone

13:08

understands. Well,

13:11

the violence committed by illegal immigrants

13:13

against innocent Americans and legal immigrants has

13:15

been appalling. It is devastating. Absolutely

13:17

appalling. And I wish there was one

13:19

moment where Democrats acted like they

13:21

cared about that. Right

13:25

now we

13:28

are worried about

13:30

the constitutional

13:32

crisis and the

13:34

lack of

13:36

this president following

13:39

the Supreme

13:41

Court. Hi,

13:45

everyone. Tom Mustin here for

14:09

cancer. So if you or

14:41

all states. just,

14:52

you know, I'm not trying to talk over you.

14:54

I'm actually trying to get a question answered. I asked

14:56

you a simple question. What

14:58

process is do Mr. Abrego Garcia

15:00

in the United States that

15:02

you believe he has not received

15:04

or could receive if he's

15:06

undeported, which is the Democrats' priority,

15:08

undeport him, bring him back

15:10

here? What process do you want

15:12

him to receive that would

15:14

make you happy and feel good?

15:16

Could he ever be deported? It's

15:19

very clear the Supreme Court says

15:21

return him and in court we

15:23

can have a discussion about what

15:25

action should be taken. Laura,

15:28

this administration admitted they

15:30

made a mistake. This administration

15:32

admitted that they made

15:34

a mistake in supporting Mr.

15:37

Garcia. This is

15:39

a fact, Laura. Unfortunately, you're

15:41

not sticking to the fact of the case,

15:43

which is that Donald Trump admitted that

15:45

he made a mistake. I've been very clear

15:47

on the facts. Yeah, well, Congresswoman, if

15:49

you want to come on the show, we'd love to

15:51

have you back. believe in the Supreme Court. But

15:53

you don't, all right, but if

15:55

he's, I will just say this on the

15:58

show and you can come back. Just wait,

16:00

take a breath. If he comes back, let's

16:02

say he is undeported, and the Democrats happy

16:04

about that. If he's undeported, he

16:06

will be deported from the United States. That

16:09

will make you miserable, correct?

16:11

That will set off a

16:13

whole new firestorm because what

16:15

you care about is an

16:17

illegal immigrant's rights to be

16:19

here at Infinitum. This

16:22

is a union member, person

16:24

with a US citizen. Wife,

16:26

this is a person who the Supreme

16:28

Court has said needs to be facilitated

16:30

back to the United States. That's a

16:32

fact. We got it. We got it.

16:34

You will never support the deportation of

16:36

this individual. That is the truth. I

16:39

mean, she does ask,

16:41

Laura asks a really intriguing

16:43

question. If they bring

16:45

Kilmar back, who's become

16:47

this mother Teresa for

16:49

the Democrats, he's

16:52

this heroic saintly

16:54

figure. And look,

16:56

you know his story by

16:58

now with the wife beating

17:00

and the car full of... in

17:03

the trunk and everything else, the

17:05

MS -13 gang tattoos all over

17:07

his hands. If they bring him

17:09

back and then we kick him

17:11

out again, what are the Democrats

17:13

going to do then? I

17:16

stood in New York City

17:18

Saturday morning on Madison Avenue.

17:21

I've got the video to prove

17:23

it. You don't believe me? Christian,

17:25

play the video of the protest

17:27

that I saw on behalf of

17:30

illegal immigrants, thousands and thousands of

17:32

New Yorkers. I mean, it

17:34

was mostly older white people,

17:36

not a lot of black

17:38

people, very few people of

17:41

color, interestingly enough. But

17:43

if you're watching the Salem News

17:45

Channel right now, you see in

17:47

the sign, we are all Kilmar.

17:49

Great job, Christian, freeze framing that.

17:51

You see the sign right now

17:53

at Salem News Channel, snc

17:56

.tv. We are

17:58

all Kilmar.

18:01

And I wanted to stop the

18:03

lady. If I was half the man I

18:05

used to be, I would have gone up to her

18:07

and said, ah, lady, you

18:09

may be an MS -13 gang member

18:11

who beats his wife. I'm

18:13

not. We are

18:16

all Kilmar. Now,

18:18

that was a sign. One

18:21

of many like that, incidentally,

18:23

at this protest march in

18:25

New York City where thousands

18:27

and thousands of men,

18:29

women, children. They had upside

18:31

down flags. They had Kilmar

18:34

signs. They had signs for

18:36

every, you know, pet

18:38

peeve they've got against the

18:40

Trump administration. And look, I'm

18:42

going to tell you flat out, it was as

18:44

far as the eye could see. There's

18:47

a lot of people

18:49

right now who have

18:51

swallowed every drop of

18:53

the Kool -Aid. So

18:55

simple question for you.

18:58

What are they gonna do if they bring Kilmar

19:00

back and they deport him again? They're

19:02

gonna start it up

19:04

all over again Laura Ingram

19:06

is absolutely correct. They

19:08

don't care about Kilmar -Obrego

19:10

Garcia They don't care about

19:13

due process. It's because

19:15

if they cared about due

19:17

process that would have

19:19

come up post January 6th

19:21

all they care about

19:23

is keeping as many illegals

19:25

as possible in the

19:27

United States for as long

19:29

as possible. And

19:34

finally, while the left is

19:36

busy protecting illegals, President Trump

19:38

is busy protecting American citizens

19:40

and American businesses. Renowned

19:42

economist Stephen Moore joined the show this

19:44

week to talk about the impact

19:47

of Trump's tariffs and how they're already

19:49

working. Do

19:51

you see people in your circle sort

19:53

of coming around as you have to

19:55

the Trump way of doing things, or

19:57

is there still a kind of a

19:59

staunch resistance to the path that Trump

20:01

is trying to take? Well, I can

20:03

really only speak for myself, and you

20:05

know, I've been a doubting Thomas to

20:07

some of these policies, but... And, you

20:09

know, I have a very good personal

20:11

relationship with Donald Trump. I've advised him.

20:13

He always gets out of He says,

20:15

there's Steve Moore. He's a great economist,

20:17

but he doesn't agree with me on

20:19

terrorists. And I say, no, Mr. President,

20:21

I don't. But, you know, who am

20:23

I to doubt this guy? He's the

20:25

best negotiator I've ever met in my

20:27

life, Mike. And he

20:29

understands the heart of the deal.

20:32

And I think that the What we want

20:35

to see, I'm trying to figure

20:37

out kind of the overall strategy.

20:39

Trump holds his cards close to

20:41

his vest. But I think that

20:43

the idea here is to really

20:45

isolate the bad actor in the

20:47

economy, the new, what I call

20:49

the new evil empire, which is

20:51

China. And what Trump is

20:53

trying to do strategically, and you can tell

20:55

me if you agree or not. 100

21:00

% of this. But I think he wants

21:02

to unite the rest of the world against

21:04

China, the way we probably should have done

21:06

in the 1930s against Japan and Germany, and

21:08

force them to behave themselves. I mean,

21:10

Trump is right. They lie. They cheat. They

21:12

steal. They're building up their military in

21:14

a very aggressive, dangerous way. And

21:17

if we can do that, it's

21:19

both an economic and foreign policy

21:22

and national security triumph. Well, of

21:24

course, I agree with you because

21:26

I truly believe that I think

21:28

that what Trump wants to do

21:30

is make China more like Japan.

21:33

As you said, there's a

21:35

strategy here because, you

21:37

know, you hear his constant

21:39

refrain. These guys are taking

21:41

advantage of us. They're ripping America

21:44

off. These are all one -sided

21:46

deals. And Stephen, to be clear,

21:48

this tariff strategy is nothing new

21:51

for Donald Trump. He's been preaching

21:53

this for years and years. But

21:55

it feels like in 2025, now

21:57

it's Trump's tariffs on steroids. Yeah,

22:00

so here's the thing that noise

22:02

me about the Media coverage of all

22:04

this that even if you're somebody

22:07

who has doubts about Trump's terror strategy

22:09

I'm still a little queasy about

22:11

it as you can say tell Have

22:13

you noticed, like Jerome Powell and the

22:15

media, they never talk about all the

22:18

other amazing things Trump is doing, all

22:20

of which are extremely good for the

22:22

U .S. economy, producing more American energy,

22:24

unleashing our energy power. How about the

22:26

fact that he's got Doge that's identifying

22:28

hundreds of billions of dollars of waste

22:30

in our government? How about the fact

22:32

that he wants to do this big,

22:34

beautiful tax bill, which, you know, our

22:36

laffer and Leonard Cutlow and I wrote

22:38

the very first version of that back,

22:40

I don't know, eight years ago. what's

22:42

been a huge success. How

22:44

about the fact that he's gotten sick

22:46

in 90 days, he's gotten the

22:48

border entirely secure. Nobody talks about those

22:50

things that are so good for

22:52

the economy. And I find

22:55

that to be unfair and. unbalanced.

22:58

You know, I get I get sickened

23:00

at the way the media refuses to

23:02

ever lift up America because all under

23:04

the guise of opposing Donald Trump. You're

23:07

right. I mean, he lists all the

23:09

trillions of dollars that are being injected

23:11

into the United States economy. He went

23:13

through the list the other day of

23:15

Apple and you look at Tesla with

23:17

its brand new Starlink stuff in Texas

23:19

and all all these exciting things that

23:21

are happening. They never give him credit

23:23

for that ever, ever, ever. And you

23:25

know what? You know what else they

23:27

don't give him credit for is whether

23:29

you're a free trade guy like me

23:31

or more of a tariff guy like

23:33

Trump, what he is

23:35

saying is absolutely true, Mike.

23:38

These other countries have

23:40

tariffs much higher than we

23:42

do. And all he's saying

23:44

is let's have a level playing field. Think

23:46

about this, if he's able

23:49

to get all these other countries

23:51

to reduce their tariffs, then

23:53

Milton Friedman is probably rolling over

23:55

his grave in joy that

23:57

we've got lower tariffs all over

23:59

the world, and that will

24:01

lead to actually freer and fairer

24:03

trade. It will save American

24:05

jobs. We're the most competitive country

24:07

in the world. We have

24:09

the greatest entrepreneurs. We have the

24:11

greatest workers. We have the

24:13

greatest environment for growth. So we

24:15

will prosper under that kind

24:17

of environment that Trump is trying

24:20

to build. Visiting with Steven

24:22

Moore, of course, economist, author, senior

24:24

visiting fellow in economics at

24:26

the Heritage Foundation, author of many

24:28

books, including his latest, The

24:30

Trump Economic Miracle and the Plan

24:32

to Unleash Prosperity. Again, you

24:34

mentioned Jerome Powell, Steven. Let's talk

24:36

about President Trump's assertion that

24:38

he has no intention of firing

24:40

Jerome Powell. But Powell is

24:42

definitely standing up to Trump because

24:44

President Trump keeps asking, begging, pleading, demanding

24:46

that they lower interest rates, they

24:48

don't seem to be budging. So, you

24:50

know, it's interesting because, first of

24:52

all, when Jerome Powell made his comments,

24:54

what was that about a week

24:56

ago? I think it was exactly a

24:58

week ago on the economy. I

25:01

thought it was the most outrageous speech

25:03

I've heard from a Fed chairman in the

25:05

40 years I've been covering this. I've

25:07

been in this game a long time, Mike,

25:10

as you know. And the

25:12

Federal Reserve Chairman went out

25:14

and attacked the newly elected

25:16

president, attacked his policies in

25:18

extremely aggressive and partisan in

25:20

a way. By the way,

25:23

Mike, do you recall Jerome Powell ever giving

25:25

a talk like that one? Never,

25:30

never, never. It's like

25:32

he never did that. No,

25:34

no. Yeah, so my

25:36

point is that at that time, I wrote

25:38

in our hotline, I said, it's time to fire

25:40

this guy. But I have to say, I

25:42

changed my mind on that, not because I have

25:44

a high opinion of Powell. I think he's

25:46

been a disaster personally. He's the one who allowed

25:48

the inflation rate to go up to nearly

25:50

10 % annually when Biden was president. The reason

25:53

I did is, given the turmoil in the market,

25:55

I just think it would have been the

25:57

wrong time to do this. And I think Trump

25:59

has made the right decision. What's going to

26:01

happen? I'm going to tell you exactly what's going

26:03

to happen, Mike. One year

26:05

from now, when Jerome Powell's term is

26:07

up, he's gone. He's out of there.

26:09

Trump does not like Powell at all.

26:11

And I think he's to replace

26:13

him with somebody like an Arthur Laffer

26:16

or a Steve Forbes or maybe a

26:18

Kevin Ward, somebody who believes in growth,

26:20

believes in Trumponomics. And that

26:22

was the right decision to make. That'll

26:25

do it for another episode of the
