Who pays tariffs, Mr. Secretary? No, no, no. Answer the questions I ask, please. I only have five minutes. Who pays tariffs?
Mr. Secretary, please.
The question is very simply, who pays tariffs, Mr. Chairman? I'd like him to answer that question. He wants to answer other questions.
Did you remember the question? I'm not sure you did. Who pays tariffs?
Reclaiming my time. People pay tariffs, right?
Reclaiming my time, Mr. Secretary. Reclaiming my time. You clearly aren't going to answer. I'm not going to waste my time having you go, uh, uh, uh, uh.
Well, look, I have to imagine that the reason they're building Trump villas in Qatar and Trump hotels in Dubai is the plans in Gaza have fallen through. Have you heard anything about the Trump hotel in Gaza? Has that fallen through?
I live in the past sometimes. I apologize. You know, look, Ben, the American people were told this the first time, okay? And then they were sold a bag of goods by James Comer, you know, that, you know, they were saying that, you know, Joe Biden's being fed Jell-O in the basement, but he's also a criminal mastermind, okay, with his son Hunter, you know? And that didn't work
with mainstream America, but it was something they spent tens of millions of dollars on in Congress, pursuing Hunter and his father, with this fake impeachment nonsense. But I gotta be honest, I think the American people know this about the Trump family. Right. Like they know this. They saw it in the first term.
Now he's not up for reelection, although he says, you know, the third term nonsense, they're selling all sorts of hats and shirts. He's not up for reelection again. And so and he's got immunity that the Supreme Court gave him. So, yes, this is a giant grift. You know what these countries are getting, of course, in exchange for all this. We'll never know. Trump mean coin villas, hotels.
We'll never know what they're getting in exchange. But clearly they're not doing it out of the goodness of their heart. So, yeah, the Trump family is going to leave this next four years, probably making tens of billions of dollars off of the back of the president of the United States.
I mean, what do you mean promised? I mean, we're in the golden age, Ben.
That's why his approval rating is 39%, right? That's why he's got the worst approval rating of any president in modern era in the first 100 days. I mean, I said the other day that, you know, perhaps William Henry Harrison had a worse 100 days than this president. And so, you know, but Trump said something the other day on News Nation in the town hall. He was asked a question by Bill O'Reilly.
Bill O'Reilly said, you know, if the tariffs aren't solved, Mr. President, if all this stuff in the economy is going well, it's not going to be very good for you in the midterms. And actually what he said was he he answered that by saying, no, I'll go out and tell the American people how great it is. And that is two things, admitting two things.
One is, you know, that is Trump's kind of superpower. He just doesn't care about reality. And he goes out and tells people what the reality should be. But also it also admits that the American people don't pay so much attention that they are able to buy that. I don't know that it's going to work this time because, you know, you can tell people about numbers they do not see.
Oh, you know, these are the numbers at the border. These are the numbers here. Those are not numbers that they can confirm. Right. But going out and telling them egg prices are the lowest they've ever been. People go to the grocery store and see that this Easter egg prices were the highest ever. Saying, oh, gas is $1.98. Well, they go to the gas station and see that it's $3.50. Okay, right.
So he's not going to be able to do that when the people can go out and verify these numbers where people are losing their jobs, they're making less money, they feel uneasy, goods are being more expensive. I mean, you're about to see that, right? The tariff stuff, you know, Trump talked about, oh, we got to get these deals in 90 days. The 90 day thing is because that's really when...
The ships are not leaving. The stuff that was in storage is now on the shelves. And we get to a point where the goods are coming in that are now tariffed, if they're coming in at all. I heard the other day on the radio that the president had a meeting with Christmas vendors, vendors that sell Christmas toys, Christmas ornaments.
And they said 85% of the stuff that we sell here for Christmas is made in China. And they have about six weeks to start getting that through production. And so as the president, you know, the president promised he'd start no more wars. It turns out he started a war on Christmas after all that. How ironic.
