What major announcements did Trump make regarding tariffs and the UK?
Alrighty, folks, tons to get to on today's show. President Trump announces a huge tariff deal with the UK and markets are responding. Fans of Hamas took over Columbia University again, and Jerome Powell makes a decision about interest rates first. Becoming a member of Daily Wire Plus isn't just a subscription, it's a statement.

OK, so in a moment, I'm going to get to President Trump's economic policy and the markets are responding, of course, quite positively to a vast shift in the direction of the Trump economic policy. A directional change that I've been calling for since well before Liberation Day. I'm very happy about it as well. The reason that's very important is because right now, the right Republicans have a lot of running room. And one of the reasons they have a lot of running room is because the Democrats continue to be insane. I don't just mean they're insane in terms of their policy preferences, although many of those policy preferences are quite crazy.
I mean, culturally speaking, the Democrats seem determined to do ridiculous things. People on the left in big cities continue to push ridiculous policies, imagery that is going to make them more unpopular, which gives Republicans a lot of running room. The latest sort of bizarre example, but it's symptomatic of a broader imagistic crisis inside the Democratic Party. comes courtesy of Times Square. So there is a brand new statue in Times Square that's 12 feet tall. It is titled Grounded in the Stars by an artist named Thomas J. Price. What is this 12 foot tall statue that is grounded in the stars? Well, it appears to be a slightly to moderately overweight black woman wearing jeans that are too tight for her, a t-shirt that she got at Walmart, and staring angrily at the cashier at CVS.
That's what it is. There's nothing about this that is aspirational. There's nothing about this that is inspiring. This person is completely anonymous. We have no idea what makes her a hero or heroine. Apparently, just being kind of grumpy in front of a TSA agent is enough to make you one of the heroes of American society. The statue was meant to be a stark contrast to two other statues in Duffy Square of Father Francis Duffy and George M. Cohan. George M. Cohan's statue, of course, is a tribute to the founder of the Great White Way, Broadway, George M. Cohan. And Father Duffy was a Canadian-American soldier, a Catholic priest, and a military chaplain who served in the 69th Infantry Regiment.
And he served on the Western Front in France during World War I. So Duffy Square is named for him. So these are actual kind of heroic and world-changing figures. And this is meant to be a contrast because this person is just a person who might need a dose of Ozempic and apparently is kind of frumpy and mad and uninspiring. According to... the website for this particular work. The work was created with the idea of disrupting traditional ideas. Always, when the left is constantly attempting to disrupt a traditional idea, maybe the traditional idea is good. Like you should have to do something heroic for us to build you a statue. It shouldn't just be a random black lady. Although, I do understand that for the left, the basic idea is that every hero of the past is actually a villain. And the only person who you could put up a statue to is a person who's completely anonymous, has no background, no bad social media posts, and never did anything. Those are the people to whom we should build statues. There's nothing from the statue that makes this person in any way important.
