re were to preserve it, not to destroy it. So I don't know. I don't think it's likely that Bill Maher will ever become Republican or Trump supporter, but it's funny watching like all of the things that support his prior point of view. One by one, each of these pillars is being tapped out. There's nothing left. Bill, you might as well just come to the other side because that's where all the common sense is happening.

Meanwhile, James Carville says he's not remotely worried about the future of the Democratic party because the Democrats have quote bucketloads of talent coming. Bucket loads. Pam Key at Breitbart News is writing about this. It was on Fox News. He was talking to somebody on Fox News on the story is the name of the show and what do you think? He said I think the hand-wringing, well I agree the image of the party is at an all-time low. He goes there's a bucketload of talent coming online. Now can you explain to me why the Democrats are hiding all this talent? So according to Carville, their party is in complete life support. It's basically the lowest it's been in 35 years. And according to Carville, waiting on the sidelines is a bucketload of highly talented people. What is it that's causing them not to make themselves known right now? Do they think that if they start too early, they'll peak too soon? How in the world could you say that they have a bucket load of talent but they're all hiding? All the talented people are, "Well, maybe I'll just hide over here. I'll ride it out while I'm hiding." No, James Carville, they would not be hiding if they had bucketloads of talent. They would not be hiding.

According to the economists who were looking at the tariffs so far, do you know who's paying for the tariffs? Is the end user paying for them in the form of higher prices? That's what Democrats said would happen. Is the importing American company paying for it with lower margins, profit margins, or is the foreign company paying for it by just paying for it because we won't buy it unless they pay it? Which of those is paying for it? Well, the early indication is that the American importers are absorbing most of the costs. Not all of it, but most of it. Now, if that's the case, what would be another way to describe that? The big American companies, also small ones, but the big ones, you know, would be the biggest bang for the buck. They're eating most of the tariff costs. Doesn't it seem like Trump found a way to tax the oligarchs? And meanwhile, while Bernie and AOC were running around the country saying, "Oh, the oligarchs, the oligarchs, they need to pay their fair share." Meanwhile, Trump is implementing these tariffs which have the unexpected effect of taxing the oligarchs. He taxed the oligarchs and he passed some tax relief that should help all the lower income people while he is taxing the oligarchs. It's called the golden age, people.

I guess the Fed is meeting to talk about interest rates and now there are a few members of the Fed who are in favor of lowering them but it looks like the Fed is not overall likely to lower rates. So there's that.

Are you following the Sydney Sweeney drama? So a company called American Eagle, they make casual clothes. They hired Sydney Sweeney, who's a blonde sexpot kind of actress who's well known. And so she doesn't go overboard in my opinion, but she makes it sexy, sort of girl next door sexy, you know, not gross sexy. And I think she does it really well. And apparently there's some outrage over it and some progressives are calling it white supremacy propaganda because she said something about she has good jeans, you know, meaning she's pretty because she has good genes, but she's also selling blue jeans. And apparently if you mention your jeans and you're a pretty white woman, that's some white supremacy right there.

And then CNN reported that this latest mass shooter who went into a building in Manhattan that he was possibly a white male unless you see his picture. And he is not possibly a white male. Let me just put it that way. But apparently the early reports are that he had some kind of mental health issue. So we don't know exactly why he did what he did, but mental health issue for sure.

I wasn't going to talk about this, but there's an angle that I will. So you know the story that in Cincinnati the other day there was a music festival and then I think it was after the festival there was a large crowd of black people who beat up several white people and really beat them badly while a hundred or so people watched and filmed. And here's the part that caught my attention. Apparently only one of the 100 people called 911. So there were a hundred black American
