John and I speak, I would say, at least once a week, either on my show, The Alex Marlowe Show, or on our premium membership, Breitbart Confidential at the Breitbart Fight Club. Those of you who support us over there, I really appreciate it. That's where you get an in-depth, deep dive with one of my consigliere's of Breitbart News, one of my cabinet secretaries, if you will. every single day.
So those are a blast. John, we have slightly less time than usual. We got about 10 minutes here. I want to just start with what is happening today? What has Trump done? And what is the reaction to it, both domestically and internationally?
Well, I'm up for it, and as of today, the polls show the American people are up for it. We're much more inclined to do this. Why do you think the American people have shifted and they're accepting of this and they want to see this out, at least for now? That's kind of the general consensus poll-wise.
So one thing that I think a lot of people are probably wondering right now is that how much this is going to affect Americans in terms of prices, because this is one of Trump's biggest tasks is he's got to get prices down or at least slow inflation. tariffs don't cause inflation, but they could cause a one-time price hike.
And that's something that people are not going to have a lot of tolerance for, especially the media. I think a lot of people at home are looking for Trump to drive down prices. So what's the path here?
Okay, so what do you say to people who are trying to dunk on Trump and act like he's no idea what he's doing now because the Dow's down a little bit?
For me, from my vantage point, John, it seems like a win-win because we're already seeing all this evidence of people announcing massive levels of expansion into American manufacturing companies staying here because they don't want to get caught up in this trade war. And also, we're not just trying to get, he's got a few missions here. One of them is to get fentanyl out of our country.
One of them is to send a message to these overseas countries that there's a new sheriff in town and you're going to have to stop taking advantage of us. But what is your top arguments to people who are skeptical of what we're into right now?
Right. This is not some sort of massive global recession. And what are we trying to do here? We are trying to right some of the wrongs from opening up America to the Chinese market and getting completely rolled.
So I'll share with you guys why I'm in for Charlie today. Those of you who caught some of last week's shows, and I'm sure you brought up yesterday as well, that Charlie is heading to Gavin Newsom's podcast, which is very interesting to me as a Californian. I lived in California most of my life, and I'm here now. Newsom is a true charlatan.
He's one of these people who acts very slick, and he acts like he's very confident, knows what he's doing, but has a horrific record. And he's always been this way. I followed his career for an incredibly long period of time, because of my interest in politics. So over 20 years when he was kind of a junior guy in the Bay Area. And he's always had this move where he could give a good speech.
He acts very compassionate. He acts like he understands the issues. But he doesn't actually have a lot of the substance. So I'm very excited to see him debate Charlie, who is an expert debater. And I have to say, a lot of these freaks that Charlie's been debating on college campuses are probably tougher debaters than Newsom. So I think Charlie's going to do incredibly well.
But I hope what comes up is some of all the horrible things that Newsom has done while presiding over the state during the fires. The fire budgets were cut in my area. We did not clear brush, and then we were lied to about it. We were told that local officials need to figure out all the problems that were going on with regards to fire safety.
There have been no new reservoirs built in the state since... I'm sorry, there have been no new dams built in the state since Newsom's been in public life, no new reservoirs in the LA area. Famously, the reservoir near the Palisades fire was completely empty for maintenance that was long overdue and had not been completed.
But the thing that is most interesting to me is there's no culture of fire safety. Because people in California have had this approach that we're only going to prepare for the best. We're never going to prepare for the worst. And because of that, we were completely caught off guard. And now Newsom, he'll have some vocabulary, ingress and egress.
He'll come with all these words he learned after the fire had already devastated people's lives. And so he's just a terrible governor. And he will give you the impression he cares. He knows he's doing. Doesn't. And he wants to be president. He wants to be president in four years. That's what he's doing. That's why he's trying to influence your strategy of podcasting.
And Charlie's a pro, so I can't wait to see how he does. And we'll see you very soon. All right, I brought up something earlier that is really important, that this Bridge Colby confirmation that's going on right now. He was introduced by J.D. Vance. Vance gave a very positive and upbeat speech. Kind of the highlights were that he is a big character advocate for Colby.
Colby is one of these guys where he's a conservative and he's an America first guy, but he also was correct on things like the Iraq war, which was very important to me when I was kind of realizing that I didn't quite line up with the Republican establishment. When I was my entire adult life, I've been a Republican. I was registered as a Republican when I was 18.
And I've never not been a Republican, but it's always been very reluctant. And part of it is because our political class, our establishment, has always been so irresponsible. The Paul Ryans of the world, the Mitt Romneys of the world, the Bushes, the Cheneys, all these people, you got the impression that they were in it for the wrong reasons and their values were not exactly where I was at.
And when very smart conservatives started to explain to me just what a quagmire and a boondoggle the Iraq and Afghanistan wars had become, how much was being wasted, and how much of the money was being misallocated in places that would enrich certain people in our consulting class. This is very informative to me. It changed my worldview a lot. And Rich Colby is one of those guys.
