na be hurt by it and it's going to be a lot of pain for the country. So you'd have to ask yourself, is Jerome Powell on the side of the United States or his own side or somebody else's side if he doesn't lower interest rates? So we'll see. That'll be interesting. So far the number of countries who have decided that they're going to immediately negotiate their tariffs with Trump, it's a small numb…

drunk go in public and say I don't want to say I don't want to I don't want to say I don't want to say I told you so. That's my Kamala Harris impression. Pretty good, wasn't it? Yeah.

But I was watching The Five and they showed that clip and Piers Morgan was on the show that day and he just said she looks drunk. And I think Jesse and Greg were sort of on the same page. And I'm so confused why we could be in a mode where there are now a couple books out where people are admitting that the insiders all knew that Biden was mentally disabled. And I'm thinking to myself, the insiders, everybody who had a television or could hear or see knew that he was mentally disabled and we could see the same thing, exactly the same thing with Harris. She's clearly inebriated in public on a regular basis. And are we going to just do the same thing? Are we just going to wait a few years and then somebody will write a book when she seems like she's not a threat anymore? Somebody's gonna write a book and say oh yeah, yeah we all knew. Everybody knew. We tried to take the drink away from her but she fought us. Looks like that's what we're going to do. We're just going to repeat the same thing and act like we're surprised again. So that's coming.

Speaking of books, one of the two books that allege to have the inside story of what was happening during the Biden-Kamala changeover, the book called Fight alleges that Harris and Walz were completely shocked that they lost the election and they were actually asking their staff if they should do a recount. So I wonder if at any point they asked themselves was this rigged? Because I'll bet they did, you know, even if it was only privately. Don't you think they said to themselves everybody said we were going to win. And apparently they've been shown they've been looking at polls that were just the ridiculous rigged polls. Yes, I think some of the polls were rigged.

So I guess her staff must have put them in this weird position where they thought oh we're definitely going to win. And then she had this surprise of her life. Anyway, so apparently according to this book she blamed Biden for staying in the race too long and said she could have won with more time. Okay. How much time do you think that would have taken? Forty years.

In Colorado it looks like there's a bill that's gone to the next level. So there's a proposal that if parents in Colorado refuse to use their children's preferred pronouns, they could lose custody of the children. Does that even seem real? No it's not real yet. It's a proposal but they got the green light to create the bill I guess. And misgendering is called coercive control. Could you imagine? Can you imagine losing custody of your own child because you didn't go along with some pronoun stuff? That is so beyond anything that my brain can even handle. I just look at it and go how is this even possible? So with any luck that will not become any kind of a law there, but we'll see.

I thought I would giv

e you a little very quick easy set of arguments that are the best arguments about all the tariffs and the situation we're in. So I've heard some good arguments and some bad arguments and I'm going to tell you the ones that look most persuasive to me and most correct. I think in this case when you're talking about economics being persuasive and being right are kind of the same thing and that's not…
