Chapter 1: What are the Democrats' plans for Trump's address?
And my God, not the case at all. I mean, just the Lake and Riley Act would be reason enough to hold this address and get into the specifics of what's happened at the border. You know, the reports are, and Trump has been saying, that the numbers are down more than 100% at the border. The latest is that we're down 94% of crossings at the border.
I mean, it was like almost 200,000 a month this time last year, and it's down to 8,000 a month this year. I mean, it's incredible what he's... He has sealed up the border almost as much as is humanly possible, but there's so much beyond the executive order. This is just an extraordinary presidency so far in terms of volume and the number of things that...
you know, some might've predicted this older, perhaps tired second go at it. President could possibly get done. He's governing like his life depends on it with the number of things going on. So I think it's actually going to feel and sound very much like a victory speech. Like here are all the things we've already delivered on for you and it will be a substantial list. So what do you guys think?
I mean, always remember when you're talking about city union addresses that 90 percent of it will be forgotten within a week and including many of the promises that are made about what's going to happen in the future. If you look back at 2017, Trump's first one, he had nice words to say about Justin Trudeau. It says, you know, we support NATO strongly.
And he bragged a lot about how the stock market had done since his election. So I don't think we're going to see either of those or any of those. uh, discussed in great detail. And they spend most of the time talking about how they're going to repeal Obamacare and replace it with something. And which didn't happen, not all at his hands.
Um, but it's, so we're going to hear things like that that don't really matter that much. And we're doing it on a day where we started a trade war. This is a much more consequential, a single day policy than almost anything he did last time around. Um, and, uh, I'm sure if Michael Moynihan is, uh, glancing down, uh, furiously at his desk. He's watching his stock portfolio continue to be massacred.
Today is not the day for that. Yesterday wasn't either. Trump thought that that was going to be something to tout, right? I mean, he made the deadline for them to do. It wasn't really clear exactly what he wanted them to do in Canada and Mexico in order not to be subjected to these tariffs. And right before this address. So clearly Trump wanted to use that in his speech tonight.
And he said, well, they haven't accomplished enough. But again, it was kind of unclear what exactly are they supposed to do? We realized that the border's not secure because of Mexico. And he's still complaining about the amount of fentanyl that's coming across it. Yes, I think everybody agrees. There were some stats around that that were very bad in terms of bus we just made.
And it's coming across the Canadian border. And that's the reason.

Chapter 2: Who are the co-hosts joining Megyn Kelly?
I mean, I think we could all agree that, you know, Canada, Mexico, a more aggressive stance towards, you know, drugs that are killing a huge number of people coming across the border is a good thing. Can you negotiate that in a way that doesn't punish You know, American consumers.
I mean, we saw today right before we started this, that Ontario slapped on a 25 percent tariff on electricity that they deliver to almost two million households in Michigan. They promised that they would.
And now they've done it.
And now they've done it. And, you know, that's an immediate thing that people feel in their pocketbook. Is that a long term good? I mean, what is the negotiation here? I mean, is it is this for American manufacturing? I just can't even I mean, is it for fentanyl? It seems like a very, very, you know, slapdash willy nilly policy. But I think people are going to feel really quickly.
So that's why I said, you know, mentioning it tonight.
I haven't looked at how bad the trade deficit is between the United States and Canada or the United States and Mexico. I know it was very bad between the United States and China, which is why they got in addition to the Trump put on tariffs in his first term, which the Democrats ripped. But then Joe Biden kept in place and most economists actually wound up defending them.
And then he came back into office and slapped another 10% on China. And now just last night slapped another 10% on China. But there's no question that there's a massive trade deficit between China and us. I don't know what it is between us and Canada and us and Mexico, but I'm sure there's a basic fairness argument to be made.
You could also talk to most economists who don't believe trade deficits are even a thing that matters. I mean, that ultimately it is a benefit to American consumers either way.
I mean, that if there's some equalization is, and again, this is, you know, something that I believe myself, but I am not an economist and should probably talk to an economist about this, but that is a widely held view that trade deficits are not something that is like an actual deficit, which is another thing that we have to, pay attention to at the moment, our real deficit.
