Music playing Kiss my ass! Hello everybody! I just want you people to remember this. You are the sun, I am the moon. You are the words, I am the tomb. Come play me. La la la la la. And what went right was nothing.

Little Neil Diamond, you people in your late 90s. Good to be with you. Not really. It's Monday. Fuck this. I'd rather be back where I was 12 hours ago on the coach. On the coach. Yeah. I'm banging my life coach. What's his name? Kevin. Kevin Bajardi. I meant to say on the couch. In my underwear and socks and looking over at my wife wrapped up in a blanket reading, I have beads of sweat on my forehead. She's wrapped up like they just pulled her from the fucking mountain,

like a rescue and a plan crack. I'll never understand that. I know it's been done a million times, but I'm just saying. Boy. It's enough to make me stay single again. If I thought it over, if somebody explained to me how the woman are always too warm and, because I, we, the minute she leaves the room, I'll put it down. The minute I leave, she puts it, it's going to end in gunplay, I swear.

Anyhow, any he. How was your weekend? Since we left you people, a little bit of busy news weekend, wouldn't you say? The helicopter flying into the American Airlines plane and then the Philly thing with that thing taken off and just crashed. What was that? I forget already. It's a medevac jet. I get excited when I hear medevac.

The medevac, and here's, I think I'm pretty quick sometimes, because I heard it's a medevac thing, right? And the plane just stalled out and shit and that but I I immediately when they have oxygen tanks on medevac things and in the past I know some of them have blown up right so that's where I went but then I think it didn't blow up till a hit so probably stalled out it yeah that's exactly what one of the pilots is our leader jet pilot said it probably stalled out can you friggin imagine the poor little girl has been fighting for her Yeah, that's exactly what one of the pilots, the Learjet pilot said, probably stalled out. Can you friggin imagine the poor little girl who's been fighting for her life finally gets the treatments that she needs and all this shit? That's why I have trouble believing in God.

Now, don't relax conservatives. I know you got an answer for that too, but it's not a good one, it's not good enough. Now if Schumer was on that plane I believe there's a God. Bang! What a scum. Have you seen his wife? I saw a picture online, him is out, oh my god, 44 comments, dude, dude, dude. Just might as well be a welder from Oklahoma. Scary looking, I'm telling you he's gay as a fruit cup. Yeah, so Jesus with the plane crash. And we'll get to it. I guess we have a story.

I'll get to it. But it doesn't make me feel any more comfortable being out there flying more now than I have been in a few years. Getting on a plane a couple times a month to Texas and fucking doing gigs and it doesn't. It doesn't make me feel very good. And Trump, when the first one happened,

came out and he was talking a lot. And I thought he was leaning on it too much about DEI and how Biden lowered the standards and stuff. And I kept going, why is he talking himself into a corner? He's blaming them. And then it dawned on me after the news was over, I was thinking, he must know something that we don't know already about the crash. Sure enough, we'll get to that. I think we will. I was thinking he must know something that we don't know already about the crash sure enough We'll get to that. I think we will I don't know if I mentioned in the stories or not, but The pilot was apparently a gay woman Believing what you know, whatever you want to believe online

Which doesn't means that doesn't make her incompetent shit. I'm not saying that but then I read that part of her job in the military was reaching out to LGBTQ communities for recruitment and all that shit. 500 hours some people are saying is that a lot Dallas or not? You know? It's pretty average. It's about average starting out yeah and I'm not blaming if anybody you know me people like yeah you'd be the first DEI I'm not saying but it I'm sorry blaming, if anybody, you know, me, people like, yeah, you'll be the first. DEI, I'm not saying, but I'm sorry. Okay, maybe I am. Maybe I'm a patriarch. Give me a fucking, well, you can't go with an older

white guy because you're training, but give me a redneck with a crook. Give me the two guys when I did the USO tour and we're in a C-17 in the middle of the night. Me and Artie, they led us in the cockpit and the fucking make... I shit my pants. I wasn't even comfortable with two... They look like they were 18. Hey Artie, how you doing? Me and my mama ripping through the sky. Fucking, I'm shit my pants. Anyways, you get my drift. I don't want to jump off, but when they held with hell the pilot's name, that's right where I am. Once again, something

that would make me accused of being a massage in this ends up right so I'm about I'd say eight or nine out of ten when I prejudge people whether it's race gender whatever so I'm about 85 90 percent I would say so you know what that other 50 percent rum rum tough fucking shit what I don't know you heard me anyways quick clip that you probably hadn't seen. I just found it online. This is a diner, I think, in Philadelphia, right? These people are just minding their business at the eating at the diner and all of a sudden debris comes

flying through. They don't know what it is. Just think of that. You're just eating your egg. You have no fucking idea. You're eating your lunch or dinner. And watch it to the end, because the last guy you're going to go, you got to eat. It's right out of a comedy. Watch this. They're just mulling around. Look, pieces of shit are flying by at 100. They don't know what it is.

Look at it like somebody's shooting at them, right? And then this poor guy at the end is mining his business. He's like, I asked for eggs. Oh. It must have still got a piece of them. You fucking believe that? Whatever that was, and that's no exaggeration, would have probably taken his head off

or the top of his head off. Because it wasn't a bullet, it was a piece of shrapnel. And it's going at the speed of a bullet almost. Can you imagine? Can you imagine that you're minding your fucking business and a plane crashes outside? Where are you God? Well that guy was bad.

He cheated in cribbage one night. He had it coming. Anyways, I wanted to show you at the top of the show before we get to the, let's get to, is it not amazing? Are you guys sitting at home going I didn't know presidents could get this much done and I said it before there's a reason he's getting this much done because jerk off Biden and his four years of Marxist and they literally are I somebody come up with a name other

than Democrat Party something really negative and hateful and I'll give you eleven dollars. I'll mail it to you But he's he's got he made it so much he there's so many easy fixes for Trump and and he's showing what a brilliant guy He and it's so funny you go online and the left is just oh, I told you chaos that the price of eggs haven't gone down yet they're like fucking children meanwhile this guy is going down as one of the greatest I don't give a shit he's a businessman I've been saying this since my first album the country is a business that's who you want running it and you can't argue that this guy's not a gray.

So anyways, Trump, Trudeau and tariffs, the CEO of Canada's second largest publicly traded company says Canadians want their government to do all the things that President Trump

is demanding and slammed the outgoing big girl Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. There he's seen there. I don't think those are tears. I think that might have been his life partner just zipped up his fly and said thank you. Anybody? Yeah. Anyways, he said Trump's on Saturday across the board tariffs on America's northern neighbor, citing its failure to meet his demands on helping crack the fentanyl and illegal immigration trade. They wouldn't help us on that, so he's smacking a tariff on them. I don't know who wrote that sentence. They can go fuck themselves. Canada thrives when it works with

America together. This is the business guy from Canada. Win by helping America win. Trump believes that Canada has not held its side of the bargain. Toby Lutke, who co-founded Shopify, wrote on X. Yes, sir! Lutke's withering critique came in response to a clip of Trudeau announcing 25% retaliatory tariffs on $107 billion worth of U.S. goods and pushing for policies targeting red states and um it's there's there's the guy that owns the business and you never know he's a billionaire by uh does that jacket come in the leather let's take a listen to somebody trudeau yes trudeau it's trudeau tonight i am announcing canada will be responding to the US trade action.

Oh no! 25% tariffs against $155 billion worth of American goods. Who said that? Who the fuck said that? I don't know, some lady. Who's the son of the common-ass shit-twinkle-toed cocksucker down here who gets signed his own death warrant? I don't know, some lady? That's Trump responding. Lutki is worth an estimated 10 billion, oh my God, and is one of Canada's richest people.

Shopify, the e-commerce giant that Lutki co-founded in 2006, is worth about 150 billion. It's Canada's biggest tech company and biggest ever startup. I should have started something up, other than my lawnmower when I was in college. What? I have no idea. And second only to the Royal Bank of Canada in size.

I'm trying to burp here. Jesus. Leadership is about doing what's, remind me never to blow my partner before the show. Leadership is about doing what's right, not what is popular. And hitting back will not lead to anything good. America will shrug it off. Canada will decline, like he added about Trudeau's stupid retaliation. It's simply the wrong choice in a possibility space where much better options would have been available, the says and I gotta keep a get what I'm gonna fucking say he makes a good point now here's a video of a guy right this is a guy online who's obviously got a business mind and he explains I

learned so much from the tariffs from this guy and why it's so silly people getting upset you know like Trudeau about the tariffs and stuff. Here's the bottom line. Somebody pointed out that what Canada is doing and what Mexico is doing by retaliating, they're not retaliating. Trump is retaliating for them abusing us for years. We're doing the retaliating and there's nothing wrong with it. Here's a guy, a young Bob Seeger, he He's gonna explain to you how tariffs work in this situation. Go ahead roll it

Hey liberal fruitcakes See a lot of you crying over tariffs saying it's gonna destroy the economy Want to look at trade economics first a tariff is a tax imposed on a country's imported goods and services First a tariff is a tax imposed on a country's imported goods and services If this guy is in Famous he is now He's doing it with tongue-in-cheek how much he hates it fucking United States only imports 15% of goods and services internationally the rest is domestic

Now a lot of you are concerned about what's happening with can. You hear what he just said? The terror, we only import 15% of, right? Is that what he said? The rest is domestic trade. Okay, so that's just a small sliver. Go ahead. Canada and Mexico. Well, you remember that 15% I talked about? Canada and Mexico only produce 5% of that. That means between both of them, they only produce 5% of the United States GDP. So guess what? This trade war is going to turn both of those places into a third world country, although Mexico already is one.

Now the reality is we don't have that. Where was this professor when I was at the University of Maine? I would have hunkered, I would have majored in fucking business. Oh I did. Here I am behind a Mike Talon deck chucks. How'd it work out? Pretty good. Hit it there. But the United States is tired of being taken advantage of by the countries who are refusing to pay their fair share.

And we all know you guys want fair share. And tariffs are a way of achieving that. Now let's look at Canada. 20% of the GDP of Canada... Pause. I know who he's almost doing. He sounds like Will Ferrell doing Harry Carey. Hey Canada, hot dogs. They should be the new currency. The United States trade agreements. And 75% of their trade happens with the United States. Now that means if prices go up

because of imported goods from Canada, Americans are gonna refuse to buy them. Meaning Canada's not gonna make any money. And as were 75% of their trade, that's gonna be detrimental to their economy. And Mexico doesn't even remotely have a leg to stand on with 40% of their GDP tied into American export.

Now, now you're going to say that Canada's threatened to turn off power to Americans. Well we'll just raise the tariff. They're not going to turn it off. Do you know why? Because Canada's utilities is $55 billion in debt. Which means they can't afford to turn off the United States' power. Now you're going to say that other countries are going to stop trading with America. Well they only make up 10% of the GDP of the United States and we'll just pull funding from NATO

because we fund 75% of that which means all of them would have to cut their social services like Canada paying reparations rather than investing in their own military. Which they didn't. They spent more money on social services than investing in their own military. The reality is tariffs are good when coupled with tax cuts for the United States. Yes it will be inflationary the numbers that we're seeing are about 0.5 percent but coupled with the elimination of income tax it would be negligible to the United States. So stop crying. Tariffs provide leverage and America is going... Trump knows all that immediately.

This guy took a few minutes to explain it to you. That's like a computer chip at Trump's head. He, he could look at it and do the math in a second. Well, they're only responsible for this much of our GDP and they're, they're energy, uh, they're in, have a deficit as far as utilities go. All that just computes like Tony soprano would look at somebody who was in trouble or a friend that knew how to take advantage of them fucking like that. It's just how business guys work.

Not to mention he's surrounded by Elon Musk and fucking Bebek and everybody else. But I thought that was a nice way of putting it. I would have paid attention in college. Instead of staring at some girl from Lewiston, Maine's fat ass. Turns out it was a fellow. What? You heard me.
