Full Episode
I'm joined by Democratic leader, Hakeem Jeffries. Leader Jeffries, I got to ask you, now that we're 100 days into this Trump presidency, how do you grade it?
The only question to be asked is whether Donald Trump should be given a D for disaster or an F for failure. I'm going to give him an F for complete and total failure.
or I'm gonna give him an F for complete and total fraud. I mean, do you believe that he's perpetrating a fraud right now on the American people when he says, look, just give me a little more time. Tariffs are working so good. I'm gonna eliminate all of your taxes because we're getting so rich. And by the way, Trump gold cards, everybody.
I mean, when he keeps doing that, doesn't that look like how he ran his businesses into the ground in the 90s?
That's correct. We know that he bankrupted at least three different businesses, including bankrupting a casino, which is like impossible to do. The House always wins unless the House, in terms of the casino, is being run by Donald Trump. Now he's actually trying to bankrupt the United States of America, crashing the economy and driving us toward a recession.
And you are absolutely correct that the whole thing is fraudulent. and House Republicans spent all of last year on the campaign trail promising to lower costs on day one, to bring down inflation, and to make life more affordable. That was their central promise to the American people. They lied. There was never any intention to do it. And we now see that costs aren't going down. They're going up.
Tariffs are actually adding thousands of dollars of additional costs to hardworking American taxpayers. They think that Social Security is a Ponzi scheme. Actually, Social Security is not a Ponzi scheme. The Trump administration has turned into a Ponzi scheme. They promise one thing and they deliver a disaster.
And you see Donald Trump's approval is plummeting across all polls, whether it's Pew, whether it's Ipsos, and whether it's Fox. Donald Trump now attacking the pollsters also, saying they're enemies of the state. Also, consumer confidence is at its lowest since COVID. Even if you go back from that, a lot of these things are the lowest since these polls have been taken.
So it seems to be registering now, though, amongst the American people. Do you think that's what's happening?
