He says that the country is 100% behind President Trump on fixing a global system of tariffs that has disadvantaged the country. But, he says, business is a confidence game and confidence depends on trust.
He says that the country is 100% behind President Trump on fixing a global system of tariffs that has disadvantaged the country. But, he says, business is a confidence game and confidence depends on trust.
He continues later, "...by placing massive and disproportionate tariffs on our friends and our enemies alike and thereby launching a global economic war against the whole world at once, we are in the process of destroying confidence in our country as a trading partner, as a place to do business, and as a market to invest capital." He continues further down. That's the term he uses.

He continues further down. That's the term he uses.
because almost no business can pass through an overnight massive increase in the cost of business, and they can't pass that on to their customers. So long story short, he's saying the president has an opportunity on Monday, he was saying this yesterday, to call a timeout and have time to execute on fixing an unfair tariff system.

And he got pretty angry because just a short time after he posted this, he then followed up and he said, I just figured out why Howard Lutnick in the Trump administration is indifferent to the stock market crashing. He and Cantor Fitzgerald, the company that he was from, are long bonds. He profits when our economy implodes.

It's a bad idea to pick a secretary of commerce whose firm is levered on long fixed income. It is an irreconcilable conflict of interest. And then, this morning, he walked back from that. He said, after our country and our president have been making huge economic progress and that is now at risk due to tariffs. So this is just one guy, but he is speaking for a lot of people, I think.

There's a lot of people who are very anxious about what the tariff policy is. They're warning that this will have dramatic consequences if it's not paused or mitigated in some way. And we can see their eggs playing out in the markets every day.

uh about 115 000 well and blake brought up yeah i was just trying to do some of the math here yeah blake brought up a couple of things that are really important for us to keep our eye on so waukesha county right now just dipped down below 60 brad shimmel's got to be at 60 61 percent minimum to have a fighting chance statewide or at least to offset milwaukee Ozaukee County is a real problem.

Ozaukee County is right now, like Blake mentioned, Brad's running four points down. Again, this looks to be mostly early votes. So I believe that this is early votes still. But you don't want to be down in Ozaukee. You need to win Ozaukee by a healthy margin on Election Day to help offset those Milwaukee votes. Now, Washington County hasn't reported it.

Yeah, and the real problem, again, is going back, Waukesha County, you have to have a dominant performance for Republicans. You have to turn out. We have to have as many voters out as possible for that to offset... Green Bay has not yet reported. Brown County has not yet reported. That's going to be a huge thing to look at, too. That's a big population center that has shifted far right.

So Tony Weed, who's the new congressman that's up in that direction. We've got to have a really severe, severely high turnout to help offset that. Uh, and then, you know, we talked to going back to Kenosha and Racine Racine hasn't yet, uh, reported, but Kenosha is not looking as good as you, you would want, you would want Kenosha to be flipped right now, which is, you know,
