Full Episode
Donald Trump's uber rich treasury secretary who's worth about half a billion dollars. He's saying we're on a roll right now, America. Sure, there may be a recession looming and sure you may be suffering, but isn't it all great? Don't you all love the vision? I mean, let me just show you what the oligarchy looks like. I mean, this is his $22 million mansion as he says he
yeah, you could deal with a little bit of suffering. I think we have the dollhouse photo if we have it. No, no, that's actually Barbie's. This is the one he lives in, a $22 million mansion. And he's lecturing people. People don't want cheaper prices. That's not what people are looking for. It's not like Donald Trump promised he was going to lower prices on day one.
Earlier in the morning, he was asked about the probability of a recession. Watch the arrogance as he answers this question. Let's play it.
The other day you were asked a question by another outlet, can you guarantee that we're not going to have a recession? And you wanted to address that this morning.
Yeah, well, look, it was a silly question. Can you guarantee there's not going to be a recession? I can't guarantee anything. I can't guarantee that the journalist who asked me the question that her news program is going to be on it.
I recall someone campaigning saying, I guarantee you on day one, I'm going to lower this. On day one, there's going to be peace. I guarantee you all of these things. And by the way, here's Scott Besson says, we're on a roll right now. Don't you feel the momentum? Things are great, huh? Here, play it.
No, no, no. Maria, what's going to happen on April 2nd, each country will receive a number that we believe represents their tariffs. So for some countries, it could be quite low. For some countries, it could be quite high. So there's not an automatic 25 plus 25 that's going to happen. And the poll you just read, I think that that's a source of a lot of the consternation That's happening.
And what we can see here in the administration is President Trump is on what is seemingly an unstoppable roll since January 20th.
It would be funny if it wasn't so outrageous. Let me call in Democratic Congress member from Texas, Greg. Greg, so as I see it, all of the countries, they're going to get an envelope on April 2nd, which Trump calls Liberation Day. All of our allies and everyone abroad. And they open it up. Then they get a number of what they're going to be tariffed because Trump's on a roll.
