ublicans from Democrats. It's the ability to take some pain to get to a better place. That's it. So I would not have been surprised. Frank Luntz. According to the new Canadian Prime Minister, Mark Carney, he says, quote, we all recognize climate change as an existential threat. Which makes me wonder who is he talking to? I mean, he wasn't addressing America, but is that true? Is it true that ever…
← Previous segment →f-serving. She kind of means that he's lowering his own taxes and those of his friends. What if he does the opposite? And I feel as if Bannon is well enough connected and he has a good enough track record of predicting that if he says it that Trump's going to raise taxes on the highest earners, that's a real possibility. Now maybe the Republican Congress can't do it. It's possible. They just can't do it. But I do think maybe there's a good at least a 50% chance that that's what it's going to look like because it would completely destroy the entire Democrat approach. Everything they're doing is depending on telling people that Trump's really doing it for his own financial benefit and those of his friends.
So I'm going to stop the comments from the bad people here. A lot of trolls today. A lot of trolls.
Here's what Trump said about entitlements. He said, "There's a lot of waste, fraud, and abuse. There are a lot of illegal aliens who are getting Medicaid that shouldn't be getting it, but we are doing absolutely nothing to hurt Medicaid or Social Security." Now, that is such a clear public statement. Do you really think that he would say that that directly and then he would sign something that actually did hurt Medicaid or Social Security? I don't feel like he would. So I'm not too worried that the Democrats are going to be right. And that's why I call it the Hitler strategy that they're using because they don't really care if it's true. They're just completely unconcerned. They only care that they can say it and that at least their own people and maybe senior citizens will believe it.
Morgan Stanley is forecasting that by 2050 there'll be a $4.7 trillion global annual humanoid robot revenue with a billion units cumulatively deployed. Do you think that sounds right? 2050 is kind of far away, but do you think it'll be just humanoid robots all over the place and 4.7 trillion worth? Well, maybe.
So I'm going to give you a prediction. I think there's a nonzero chance, and maybe it'll be in this budget bill, maybe it'll be in the future, that robots will be taxed. I think robots will be taxed. And the reason is because we tax everything that you can tax. If there's something that can be taxed, it'll get taxed. Now, if robots are the thing that are going to put people out of jobs, I think you have to tax them to help pay for the humans who got put out of jobs. So whether it's Trump who does it or some future Democrat administration, I'm pretty sure that robots are really going to be taxed more than just sales tax. I think there's going to be a robot tax. And if the robots are a big enough deal, it might actually make a difference to our GDP and our debt situation. So I'm not saying that I recommend it. I'm going to say that I predict it. I predict it.
Chuck Schumer clowned himself again in public. So he was doing a press conference to mock Trump's falling approval numbers. And now, do you know why Trump's approval numbers are going down? Is it because all of the people in the country did a deep dive and did their own research to find out how the economy is doing and all the details of what Trump is doing to influence it? Or do you think that they turned on TV and they listened to the talking heads that they always listen to and the talking heads said, "Oh, the tariffs are causing chaos. Oh, they're not using a scalpel with DOGE." And do you think that the public's opinion as represented in polls is nothing but how well the media is brainwa

shing people? So the Nazi strategy that Schumer is using and the Democrats are using is that they first must convince you that public opinion polls are driven by people's independent assessment of what's going on. Nothing like that's happening. Individual voters are not making any independent assessments based on their research and their knowledge of economics. Nothing like that's happening. It is…
