That would be a Herculean... I'll make a statement that I'd never make predictions, but I will make a prediction. If Donald Trump, in the next two years, balances the U.S. budget, which we have not seen since the Newt Gingrich and Bill Clinton compromise of 98, 99, 2000. And remember, they did that by raising taxes. Gingrich allowed some taxes to be raised. Clinton allowed cuts to be made.
But that's never happened since. If he balances the budget in one of the next two budget years and the war in Ukraine is over with and he stops it, he will be reelected. I mean, excuse me, he will have his house reelected and he will maintain that majority and he will be an iconic president if he does those two things. And the left knows that. So the left is going to do all it can.

In fact, I have colleagues at the institution in which I work, which will remain nameless, who are doing all they can to suggest that the war not be ended. In other words, that it's going to be a giveaway to Putin and you can't do it. And we know people in the Congress that are trying to stop this budget. They tried and they do not want any cuts. They do not want any more oil production. They don't

will oppose the gold card and they do not want any tariffs. But if he's able to overcome that, as I said, it'll be something that's historic.

Yeah, I mean, it doesn't help when they have a congresswoman... Marcy Kapoor, whatever her name is, in Ohio. And she's saying that Elon Musk has only been a citizen for 23 years. Therefore, he doesn't have allegiance to the United States. And who is he loyal to, Canada or the United States? And this comes from the left when they can't

They can't go through a congressional session where they don't have a resolution faulting Republicans for harassing poor immigrants and being xenophobic and nativist. And now they're scraping the bottom of the barrel. They've called him a Nazi. They've called Elon Musk Hitler. They've called him a crook. And now they're calling him a disloyal, naturalized citizen. Naturalized citizen.

And this is something that I thought only the far, far right did. Blood and soil. There are blood and soil Democrats now. You're not really a U.S. citizen unless you were. Is that right, Congresswoman, unless you were born in the United States? You're a nativist now. You don't trust him. It's just mind boggling. Everything they've said has no logic. He wasn't confirmed.

Well, either it was a national security file. You're saying that Jake Sullivan was illegitimate because he was never confirmed by the U.S. Senate? Well, he's making money. Well, he's the richest. He came in worth $450 billion. Where is he making money? They ask him to bail out our astronauts that NASA can't save. And so I don't know where he's making money. He's losing money, actually.
