Chapter 1: How is Donald Trump's economic policy affecting consumer confidence?
As Donald Trump continues to wreck the economy and consumer confidence is almost as bad as it ever was in recent modern history, the University of Michigan survey shows the worst consumer sentiment since 2022. Also, the inflation expectations, the worst since 1993. What's Donald Trump talking about? tariffing champagne in response to his tariffs.
He's saying to all the champagne businesses in the US, because there's all those champagne businesses in the US. I'm not sure Donald Trump realizes where champagne is actually made. He's going to be the protector of champagne because Europe's put on retaliatory tariffs, because Trump arbitrarily and unilaterally put on tariffs against Europe for stealing aluminum into the rest of the world.
What else is Donald Trump talking about in addition to to champagne? Because as people's 401ks and pensions are being destroyed, Donald Trump's top official at the DOJ is Attorney General Pam Bondi had an important message that she and the Trump administration will be doing everything possible to protect Tesla's. Play this clip.
We have people who are locking up on that. We have someone in jail right now from one of the dealerships. They threw a Molotov cocktail through a dealership. They're looking at up to 20 years in prison. So if you're going to touch a Tesla, go to a dealership, do anything, you better watch out because we're coming after you. And if you're funding this, we're coming after you.
We're going to find out who you are.
I mean, these are decisions that they're making to go out and say these things. Let's bring in Democratic Congressman Jared Moskowitz. Congressmember Moskowitz, what do you make of just this moment? What are you hearing from your constituents right now?
I'm hearing they're getting everything that they voted for. They specifically voted for this tariff on champagne. They had enough of big champagne taking advantage of them and are happy finally as my dog is digging in the background. His name is Obi. He's a sheepadoodle. He's wearing a tie. He's ready for Congress.
Obi, you're ruining the podcast here. Sit down. Are we done? I think we're done. He's excited. He's excited. He got into the champagne, actually.
That's what happened. No, so here we go, right? Donald Trump. Okay, what is he talking about? Champagne. It's what people voted for, right? They wanted him to go after big champagne. They're tired of being taken advantage of. Look, this is, it's total chaos. I mean, it's just chaos. You know, everyone's like, oh, what's the Democratic bumper sticker? It should just be chaos.

Chapter 2: What are the implications of Trump's tariffs on champagne?
I mean, but that didn't get enough attention. But look, in your state of Florida, there was a lot of tourism from Canada, you know, and that Canada tourism boycott, you know, must be really hurting you. I've heard personally from a lot of people who have rental properties in Canada who own it and rent it out to people in Canada that they just ain't showing up right now.
I think it's like 40, 50 percent of the kind of just just the Tourism, vacation, rental stuff is going. Are you seeing that in Florida? Are you hearing that from constituents?
Yeah, we're hearing it. I mean, my district has a lot of part time residents that come in during winter that live in the district, as does South Florida. A lot of people from Canada come here during winter. And that's a big boom to the economy. The number one industry in Florida is tourism. And that's a big piece of it. So, yeah, they're talking about boycotting the United States.
And this is exactly what he ran on, of course. Right. He gave all these rallies. He spoke about all these things. And he said, here are the number one things I'm going to do. I'm going to raise egg prices. I'm going to decrease the stock market. I'm going to increase the cost of goods. I'm going to launch a trade war with Canada. I'm going to try to convince the Danish to sell me Greenland.
OK, you know, we're going to talk to Hamas. You know, and listen, a little bit of pain. Everyone's going to have a little bit of pain. You know, we're going to take jobs away from veterans. We're probably going to, you know, cut, you know, Medicaid. I mean, these are obviously the things he said from the stage. Ben, did I not hear them correctly?
Well, I mean, what I saw this morning was he posted, our economy will boom like never before. I mean, you know, the guy, though, moves on so seamlessly, Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme style, just to the next one, what they floated that there was going to be. If you're making $150,000 or less, you're not going to be taxed. By the way, what happened to no tax on tips, no tax on social security?
Not in the bill. Not in the bill. Explain to the people out there, Moskowitz, if they wanted it to be in the bill, it could have been right. They could have put that in the bill.
Yeah, they could have put in the bill. The problem is, is that, you know, their whole thing is about not adding to the debt. And the bill as it is already adds trillions of dollars to the debt. Listen to Thomas Massey, who wears a debt cloth. So their current bill adds trillions of dollars to the debt, which is what Doge was supposed to get at.
So that's been a failure as far as getting our debt down. And they they talk about, oh, tax on no tax on tips. Well, they didn't put in the bill because they don't have a way to pay for it. And then the Treasury Secretary comes out and says anything. anyone making less than 150,000, no taxes. But we're not gonna do that until we balance the budget.

Chapter 3: Why is Pam Bondi's message on Tesla significant?
He went and got a bath. He came back with a tie. I thought it was cute. I mean, look, he's wearing a tie, and I'm not.
It's very cute. Everyone hit subscribe.
As you can tell, he thinks I'm doing a great job.
He thinks you're doing A+.

Oh, there you go. Let's get to 5 million. Thanks, Congressman.
