00:00Some major breaking news here.

00:01For the first time ever, going back to 2017, a full majority of Americans disapprove of

00:07Trump on the economy.

00:08According to CNN's polling, 56% of Americans now disapprove of his handling of the US economy,

00:14not only the first time that a majority of Americans have taken this position, but with

00:1856% it is a healthy margin of Americans who've taken this position.

00:23The closest Trump's ever gotten to these numbers before was 49% disapproval in December

00:28of 2020, and even that was 7 points stronger than where he is right now.

00:33The reality is that Trump's biggest asset, despite his raft of liabilities, has been

00:37how Americans perceive him on the economy.

00:40That issue, almost unilaterally, has given him wide latitude to be able to operate with

00:45impunity when it comes to his, frankly, insane stances on basically everything else.

00:50He gets that space precisely because he's been viewed as just that strong on the economic

00:55front.

00:56And now?

00:57Well, now you've got all the downside of the crazy without any of the upside of the

01:01economic stuff.

01:03This presidency is a full-blown lose-lose now for the American people, and it's not

01:07a coincidence that these new polling numbers are coming out right now.

01:10I honestly cannot remember a time when the line between a president's own actions and

01:15his impact on the economy has been so direct and so obvious.

01:19Every single American can see with their own eyes how Trump's tariffs have directly raised

01:23prices, directly tanked the stock market, and by extension, directly plummeted their

01:28own retirement savings.

01:30You've heard of fuck around, find out.

01:31This is the find out phase, and it is the American people who are suffering the consequences

01:36of Donald Trump's actions.

01:37Let's start by remembering, by the way, the context here.

01:40Trump promised his own voters over and over and over again that he would lower their prices.

01:45Starting on day one of the Trump administration, we will end inflation and we will make America

01:50great again.

01:51We will deliver regulation cuts, energy price cuts, interest rate cuts, and we will drive

01:57prices down, and we'll drive them down very fast.

02:00But starting on day one, I will quickly defeat inflation, and we're going to bring down the

02:05energy prices fast, fast, liquid gold, and we will make America affordable again.

02:13Prices are still going up.

02:14You know, they're going up again, and they surged again very viciously last month.

02:20So when I win, I will immediately bring prices down.

02:23Starting on day one, we will end Kamala's war on American energy, and we will drill,

02:29baby drill.

02:30We're going to drill.

02:31So that's what was said last year.

02:32And where have we gotten instead?

02:34Prices not only haven't gone down, they are going up.

02:37And it's not just that he's breaking his promise to act to lower prices.

02:40It's that instead, his own actions are what are directly causing prices and costs to rise.

02:44I mean, just look at the products that Trump has announced tariffs on, steel and aluminum,

02:49meaning they directly impact things like housing, cars, refrigerators, air conditioners, washing

02:54machines, dryers, iPhones, furniture, and on and on.

02:57Again, it couldn't be more obvious why everything is getting more expensive, nor could it have

03:01been more preventable.

03:03He's also promised universal across-the-board tariffs on Mexico, China, and Canada, three

03:07of the U.S.'s biggest trading partners.

03:09That's going to raise the cost of electronics, clothing, home goods, toys, sporting goods,

03:14industrial parts, pharmaceuticals, appliances, oil, timber, as well as everyday grocery products

03:19like avocados, tomatoes, berries, bananas, coffee, beef, chicken, corn, tequila, chocolate,

03:24rice.

03:25In other words, basically everything.

03:27Trump is raising your prices on virtually everything.

03:31And if you're one of the 62% of Americans, a vast majority, who have investments in the

03:35stock market, you're able to see firsthand how Trump's chaotic and stupid tariff strategy

03:40is impacting your own wallet on top of the rising prices.

03:44If you have a 401k, for example, and hope to have even a modicum of a retirement after

03:48working for your entire adult life, you are seeing how Trump's actions are now severely

03:52impacting what you've saved up.

03:54I mean, you can literally watch the stock market plunging in real time on Fox News as

03:59Trump continues to announce his new tariffs.

04:01So we're going April 2nd, but very importantly, tomorrow tariffs, 25% on Canada and 25% on

04:08Mexico and that'll start, so they're going to have to have a tariff.

04:12So what they have to do is build their car plants, frankly, and other things in the United

04:16States, in which case they have no tariffs.

04:19It's getting so bad and so unavoidably obvious that even CNBC, one of the financial networks

04:24that tends to be the most apologetic of Donald Trump, just saw one of their reporters go

04:28completely off script and say this.

04:30I'm going to say this at risk of my job, Kelly, but what President Trump is doing is insane.

04:35It is absolutely insane.

04:37It is about the eighth reason we've had for the tariffs.

04:40And now he's saying he's putting 50% tariffs on Canada unless they agree to become the

04:4551st state.

04:47That is insane.

04:48There is just no other way of describing it.

04:51And the trouble, Kelly, is that it shows there are no bounds around President Trump.

04:56This is very different from the first administration, where there were people around him who seemed

05:00to, I don't know what the word is, but smooth over some of the edges now.

05:05And the other thing that's not talked about, Kelly, is what's going on within the administration

05:09in terms of how they're treating the Constitution and laws.

05:12I think all of that is bad for the attraction of capital.

05:16And the gentleman from Bridgewater is 100% right.

05:18We need massive amounts of capital if we want to have, fund our deficits, pay for the things

05:23we want to pay for, sell our bonds, and have high stock prices.

05:27And it seems as if this administration is doing everything it can to chase foreign capital

05:31away.

05:32Well, and we could go into the strategy of the insanity as a strategy in terms of our

05:36trading partners.

05:37Insanity is not a strategy.

05:39I'm with you, Kelly, in trying to look for silver linings.

05:42I'm a sunny person.

05:43Not silver linings, tactics.

05:44Right?

05:45Some, some, well, some explanation for this other than insanity.

05:47I'm ready to accept it if you can come up with one.

05:50Exactly.

05:51Insanity is not a strategy.

05:52Also, just a quick aside, but can we just acknowledge how sad of a state we're in when

05:56an economics reporter feels like he is risking his own job just to report on the truth?

06:01A truth that a significant portion of the country is now waking up to?

06:05Let's take a look at this graph, by the way, to see how the S&P 500, which is a top stock

06:09market index, compares to other recent presidencies.

06:12That line at the top?

06:14That's Joe Biden's presidency.

06:15You know, the president where Trump spent practically every single day claiming that

06:18the stock market was terrible and on the verge of imminent collapse.

06:22Obama is in second place.

06:24Trump's first term is below that one.

06:26And that line way there at the bottom, the one that it's falling so fast, it looks like

06:29it's falling off the graph.

06:31Yeah, that's where we are right now in Trump's second term.

06:34Guess it's easier to lie on the campaign trail than it is to actually govern, huh?

06:39And while all of this is happening, Trump doesn't seem to care at all.

06:42He is telling Americans simply to not look at the stock market.

06:46Before you came into the Oval Office the first time, you were a very successful businessman,

06:50very successful real estate executive.

06:53And a lot of people said, oh, this is the business president.

06:56This is it.

06:57He's watching the stock market.

06:58He knows all about, you know, he doesn't want the market to go down.

07:01And now we've got tariffs and the market has been going down.

07:04Well, not much.

07:05I mean, in all fairness.

07:07You said, look, we're going to have a disruption, but we're OK with that.

07:11Is that what you meant?

07:12The stock market going down was the disruption?

07:14What other disruption were you alluding to?

07:15Look, what I have to do is build a strong country.

07:18You can't really watch the stock market.

07:21If you look at China, they have a hundred year perspective.

07:24Great strategy.

07:25Let's rely on the concept of object permanence.

07:27If we don't look at the market, then apparently the market ceases to exist.

07:31Got it.

07:32Instead of focusing on literally anything that would help people, especially in light

07:36of a sinking poll numbers, what did Trump opt to do?

07:38Well, you see, he straightened up and took seriously the implications of what his tariffs

07:42are doing to the broader economy and finally took steps to undo.

07:46Just kidding.

07:47He held an infomercial on the White House lawn for Elon Musk's car company while its

07:51stock price was in practical freefall.

07:53Here is Trump literally ignoring questions about the terrible stock market while trying

07:57to distract people with a publicity stunt for President Musk.

08:01What's your message to Americans right now, sir, who are worried about the stock market?

08:04What's your message to them as they watch it?

08:13The reality is that this is the most corrupt presidential administration in modern American

08:17history.

08:18It is run by a billionaire oligarch who spent hundreds of millions of dollars to elect Trump

08:23in order to gut the agencies that regulate his companies and put more money in his own

08:26pockets, which we're seeing play out right now.

08:29And while his company is tanking as people are now boycotting it, Trump is desperately

08:33trying to save face for him instead of doing a single thing to help Americans who actually

08:38voted for him.

08:39But the kicker is that Americans are beginning to finally see through what an absolute scam

08:43all of this is.

08:55But second, the reality is that we're now in a political environment where this administration

08:59can lean on any of the social media platforms to suppress certain voices if they don't like

09:03critical coverage.

09:04That means my longevity here is in the hands of a few tech billionaires who are already

09:08making it clear that they're willing to cater to this White House.
