More bullshit promises from Trump and his new plan. Lies, lies, and more lies.
Elly:We discuss a few crazy highlights of Trump's plans that he recently released. For starters, Trump the terrible wants to seal the border and stop the migrant invasion.
Ben:Surprise, surprise.
Elly:My question is, why the hell didn't he do it already?
Ben:What, four years wasn't enough?
Elly:Well, you know, he did repair existing fences and gates of less than 500 miles, a fraction of which was the wall, which was around 50 miles. that was it.
Ben:Our border with Mexico is 2000 miles long.
Elly:Trump is all sizzle, no steak. Yep. And he wants to carry out the biggest deportation in American history. the biggest, the biggest, Nothing like not defining or quantifying your metrics. Yeah, it's just big. It's really big. It's huge. The biggest. It's huge. Biggest. What's quantifying?
Ben:Trump 2024
Elly:no more. It's huge. What's quantifying?
Ben:What's quantifying? What's
Elly:quantifying? What's quantifying? I
Ben:got a very big brain. She's really pretty. I'm really small. Hey. She's really pretty. Oh my. Remember when he said
Elly:Obama would put people in deportation camps? Laughs.
Ben:He must be in love. He's got Obama on the brain.
Elly:Yeah, he does.
Ben:This deportation policy is shadowed in Project 2025.
Elly:Yeah, it is. In addition, deporting millions will cost the taxpayer billions to find and ship them all off, if you will. Millions of immigrants.
Ben:Speaking of taxpayers money, building the wall does nothing besides hiring Trump's friends for construction kickbacks or stock options for his friends and his family.
Elly:Let's make some money. Oh man. The building of the wall would definitely cost us trillions.
Ben:Yes, it would. Wait--his
Elly:friends?
Ben:Laughable. The point I'm making is that he'll create a construction management company and hire his buds through a fake bidding competition and build the wall and put some paint on it.
Elly:Don't scoff, y'all know it's true. Listen, Trump already spent billions, depending on the source, between 11 and 13 billion dollars for the bit of wall he had taxpayers build.
Ben:He went way over budget too. Mm
Elly:hmm. As we reported in a previous show, Trump got the taxpayer money from, wait for it, wait for it.
Ben:Was it Mexico?
Elly:No. The defense budget, homeland security, treasury, and the drug interdiction program.
Ben:Not Mexico. Mexico. Mexico.
Elly:And he blabbered and is still blabbering about being military strong and fighting drug runners.
Ben:Yeah, what a joke. Nothing changed except that once Biden got into office, he returned 2
billion dollars to the
Ben:U. S. military.
Elly:Yeah. Trump's policies are useless as tids on a bore hog.
Ben:I laughed my ass off when commenting on the
wall. VP Walz said,
Ben:if it's 25 feet, then I'll invest in a 30 foot ladder factory. Oh yeah. I heard that. precious moments. Precious
Elly:moments. Hilarious. Yeah. Yeah. Kind of like, uh, he says, none of your damn business. That's a
Ben:damn
Elly:right. None of your damn business. Yeah.
Ethan:To quote Governor Walz, he lives by the principle in which he teaches, and that is,"Mind your own damn business." Another point of Trump's plan, Trump claims to want to make America affordable again and end inflation.
Ben:Like the idiot that put the ridiculous Canadian tariffs on lumber and skyrocketed the price of new and existing homes.
Elly:Same idiot, different day. There is more we covered on our previous shows, but it's too much to go into here, but Trump and project 2025 want the Trump administration to control not just most federal agencies, but the non governmental Federal Reserve Bank, too Yeah, Trump the terrible will be able to manipulate the interest rates at his
Ben:whim And he's so qualified for it, because he's had what, he's had six, six bankruptcies? He's really smart. He's more than qualified.
Elly:Big brain.
Ben:What a way to get rich!
Elly:They must think we are all tongue slobbering, tail wagging idiots.
Ben:Many of his followers are tongue slobbering, tail wagging idiots.
Elly:Here puppy. Trump also ejects that he wants to stop outsourcing and make the United States a manufacturing superpower.
Ben:He had four years and did not enact any regulations punishing multinational corporations that outsource.
Elly:No, he didn't. Not even for those companies that have fake corporate offices in foreign countries in an effort to avoid taxes. Yes. Like, Ireland?
Ben:Don't forget the pay raise. Taxpayers gave
Elly:the elites, There ya go, I don't want it
Ethan:Using tax payer money, Trump's tax cuts gifted the mega rich, huge corporations and the elites, 2 point 3 trillion dollars. Trump said we would get a 4, 000 dollar pay increase with his tax cuts.
Ben:I have yet to meet one person that paid less tax. Myself and everyone I know paid more.
Elly:Ditto. Remember he reduced big business tax rates from 35 to 21 percent without any demand to stay in the country Build plants hire more employees pay better wages and benefits Nada, correct. Moving along Trump could have given job and pay linked subsidies and tax incentives to companies that manufacture here, expand here, build here, hire here, increase wages here in the U. S. That's the United States of America for those of you who just read us. I just realized that.
Ben:It's us. I just realized that. It's us. It spells us.
Elly:but maybe more important, punish those companies with a, let's say, country abandonment tax increase, but he didn't
Ben:Nor did he enact any regulations for elites investing in Mexico manufacturing, which of course lost American jobs.
Elly:Over the last 50 years. Yes. However, Trump's tax cuts and subsidies went to corporations operating outside the U. S. Again, big business, tech firms, and social media companies and producers of oil and gas, of course.
Ben:So the tax cuts and subsidies were and are being pocketed by the uber rich, top executives and Wall Street.
Elly:In comparison, the Democrats tax cuts assist us, the people, and tax relief and subsidies for growth, development, and building plants and growing jobs here in the United States,
Ben:Like in Indiana.
Elly:Mm hmm. So, chip, solar, battery, EV, and other industries are as we speak have been developing, building, expanding, and hiring here in the United States of America. Funny thing is that because of the Biden Harrison democratic plan, 80 percent of these new jobs are going to Americans in red and purple states because that is where the companies are deciding to move or expand to because of the weather or freeways or, geographic locations, sometimes labor costs, whatever, uh, tax incentives, tax incentives Get this, Georgia. Of all places, has gained tens of thousands of jobs from the Democratic Biden Harris policies.
Ben:and the Republicans there are taking credit for it.
Elly:Uneducated sheep, don't support the policies that help um. They support their enemy. The irony. Yep. The irony. No kidding. I believe a thank you to Biden Harris is an order. I agree, but it gets worse. The Republican governors and Congress members are claiming it was their doing, even though they voted against it.
Ben:It's too funny. Like Trump claiming he's responsible For the reduction of insulin prices.
Elly:Liar! Liar! I did that.
Ben:Trump claiming he's responsible for veteran protections too.
Elly:Liar! Oh my goodness, goodness, goodness, liar. Liar! Liar! Remember when Trump set up that photo op in a small manufacturing plant?
Ben:Yes, I do.
Elly:The media swallowed the bait again and put Don the Con on prime TV. Again, appearing to the naive sheeple that he had saved manufacturing in America. And it was like 50 jobs or something. Sheeple. Yeah, sheeple. Yeah, it was like 50 guys or something. Yeah, as a bunch of auto Plants were being closed at that time. And a bunch of manufacturing was going to Mexico. As a matter of fact, Trump lost nearly 3 million jobs, nearly 200, 000 in manufacturing in just four years.
Ben:Could you imagine another four?
Elly:No. 13, 000 in coal mining jobs. But Don the Con said he was going to save manufacturing jobs and coal mining jobs and he is still saying he's going to save manufacturing jobs.
Ben:What a P. O. S.
Elly:Mm hmm. Don the Con's trade deficit was plus 36 percent and federal debt held by the public up 50%.
Ben:7. 8 trillion. Uh huh.
Elly:Biden, Harris, and the Dems, on the other hand, gained almost 1 million manufacturing jobs alone as of January 2021 to January 2024. Unemployment fell drastically, too.
Ben:And millions of Americans gained health care insurance.
Elly:Yeah, millions more actually gained health care. The number of Americans with health care insurance decreased under Trump. Now how the hell did that happen, right?
Ben:And he didn't get a chance to, tear apart the ACA at that time.
Elly:Yeah. Mm hmm. Yeah.
Ben:We're working on it.
Elly:Yeah. You'll hear about it
Ben:in another week. We've almost got to put together. Liar, liar. Trump's on
fire. Stick a fork in
Elly:them. Uh, here's another one. Remember when the UAW was striking, you remember that?
Ben:Yes, I do.
Elly:Vice President Kamala Harris picketed with the union, but Trump spoke in a non union shop And paid people to hold up Trump signs. He went to
Ben:a non union shop on purpose.
Elly:UAW Union President Sean Fain. is suing Trump and Musk for anti union behavior and intimidation of union workers. That is just too much. hoo yah! For more of the stats, check out our other shows at Scrood, spelled with two O's. Since the 70's, manufacturing hubs in Mexico have grown enormous. places like Baja California, Monterey, Juarez, Chihuahua. And around 10 more.
Ben:Why would a Mexican national move here when the jobs are there? social media has really skewed reality
Elly:because they know Biden, Harris, and the Democrats are producing jobs like crazy. Anyway, corporations love abandoning Americans and set up shop in Mexico or, you know, wherever. Biden slowed the exodus down with incentives for manufacturers. Trump didn't do that. He just gave the rich and corporations a huge tax giveaway paid for by
Ben:The American people.
Elly:Boo! Boo! Remember when Trump's spokesperson, Sean Spicer said Mexico will be tariffed 20 percent to pay for the wall. Remember that?
Ben:He's so stupid. The buyer, the consumer pays for the tariffs.
Elly:He doesn't understand that. I guess just today he was blabbering about trying to educate The uneducated sheeple listening to him about, what tariffs do
Ben:must have missed the class because he's not up on what tariffs actually are. He's a moron.
Elly:Yeah. Trump thought they said trains when they were handing out brains,
Ben:small one.
Elly:You know, It wouldn't be a tariff at that point anyway, but a direct payment to the United States to continue business, which would piss off American companies in Mexico
Ben:and violate trade agreements. He is so frigin dumb All hat, no cattle. Cowboy up!
Elly:Like I said, Trump's plans and policies are as worthless as tits on a boar hog say that again. at the risk of sounding like a broken record, we previously pointed out in another show, that before U. S. manufacturing could increase, the United States would have to rebuild our infrastructure and actually build manufacturing plants or at least update them, like the manufacturing of appliances, furniture, electronics, gas burning cars. Supporting parts plants would have to be updated or built as well because they too are in mexico. Mexico. One lives in la la land. If they think turning around 40 years of Reaganesque policies can be accomplished in a few years, they are either imbeciles or liars. Which do you think Trump is?
Ben:He was blessed with both. That's my
Elly:boy. That's my boy. A little history. Mexico surpassed China as a top exporter to the US. Those exports were driven by manufacturing Which is 40 percent of Mexico's economy.
Ben:That's billions. Yeah,
Elly:yeah. After Trump's USMCA agreement, U. S. trade representative, Catherine Tai, told CNN amid shifting geopolitics and competition, U. S. and Chinese companies both see potential in Mexican manufacturing, low labor costs, geographic proximity to American markets, and Trump's U. S. Mexico, Canada, U. S. M. C. A. agreement. she said all these factors resulted in the increase in Mexican manufacturing.
Ben:Thanks Donnie.
Elly:Hence, Trump's 36 percent trade deficit. Oh man, more like a big F you. So terrible Trump's agreement with our neighbors Contributed to the increase in manufacturing boom in Mexico.
Ben:Don the con just keeps shoveling us more shit.
Elly:Mm hmm. Certainly does., in Fugu's new plan, he also touts he will defend our freedoms.
Ben:we've already done that, dumbass.
Elly:Not so fast. Our freedoms are quickly eroding for non religious people, secular people, atheists, or agnostic humans. Women are in, of course, in the crosshairs and have been. People of color too. Gays, trans, non Christian religions. Again, atheists and agnostics, all targets of Trump, Trumpaholics, MAGA, and Project 2025.
Ben:Weren't Trump Bibles printed upside down?
Elly:moving along. He mentioned preventing World War III.
Ben:It would be World War III a month ago, and before that he said, if we were not careful, the Biden administration would get us into World War II. I remember that.
Elly:Oh, I do remember that, yep. Oh, idiot. It's just an idiot. He's a big orange idiot. He thought they said trains when they handed out brains.
Ben:And he wanted the short one.
Elly:Another of his big brain ideas is to crush cartels and drugs coming in over the border. Border wall money!
Ben:Fleecing the drug interdiction programs.
Elly:He bragged he would strengthen our military. Border wall money?
Ben:Fleecing defense budget and homeland security. Fleecing defense budget. Fleecing defense budget and homeland security. Fleecing the defense budget, fleecing the defense budget,
Elly:fleecing the defense budget,
Ben:the defense budget,
Elly:Homeland
Ben:Security, and Homeland Security.
Elly:Trump is now saying nada about ending Social Security and Medicare, In the past, he and the Repubs were fighting to change laws to get rid of them and other entitlements. They just have to go, he said. He's been saying that for years. I know. Most of the Republicans, too. The Republicans are serious about ending the programs. But now, Don the Con is saying he isn't touching Social Security or Medicare. But I remember him talking about cutting benefits and raising the age a few years right away.
Ben:Keep shoveling that shit, Connie. I mean Donnie.
Elly:Oh, now he claims he wants to end Social Security taxes.
Ben:That would be the end of the program. the tax remove from your check pays 90 percent of the program.
Elly:Mm hmm. Like I said, a moron. Idiot. Very slippery of you.
Ben:Very slippery.
Elly:Clarice. Very
Ben:slippery of you, Don John.
Elly:Clarice. The Great
Ben:Late Hannibal Lecter.
Elly:I can see it now, retirees living in campers, eating ramen and suffering and dying by the thousands every day from lack of nutrition and health care.
Ben:Did I mention Trump also wants to end the ACA and has been saying it for years?
Elly:Yeah. Mm hmm. He wants that gone too. So he can finally tell himself, I beat Obama. There's more of his plan. I'll go quickly. Cut, Burdomsome. Regulations. Again. He's just gonna cut it. No metrics, no explanation, no plan. Just more shit.
Ben:Ha. Uh,
Elly:Trump wants to reduce freedoms for women, non Christians, brown, and black people and cut federal funding for schools that stray from his policies and with Project 2025 agenda, but we're going to have to unwrap this in another show. It's just too lengthy and dystopian.
Ben:Trump, 1984. Where have I heard that before?
Elly:Before we go, I'll mention his most hypocritical policy of all. Drumroll, please. Don the con. Wants to secure our elections. Did he need to get rid of all
Ben:his fake electors and all his buddy attorneys? What an idiot.
Elly:Oh, Trump as president told enemy Putin to attack Hillary and they did.
Ben:Don't forget his alternate
Elly:electors again. Boom. Trump thought he said
alternate Lecters
Ben:I'll help you catch them Don John. Clarice
Elly:Don't forget the Trump supporters in Michigan that illegally were inspecting the voting machines, Trump supporter Lambert just arrested She actually tampered with voting machines. in Michigan. Moreover, she stole thousands of documents from a case and distributed them to right wing podcasters, podcasts and news agencies.
Ethan:Don't forget the sheriff. Stefanie Lambert Junttila, an attorney that was one of many that tried to breach the voting machines in twenty twenty was arrested in court while representing an election denyer, but was sharing those court documents. She leaked internal Dominion emails to a right-wing Michigan sheriff who has used his office to investigate baseless theories about the 2020 election. The sheriff, Dar Leaf, subsequently posted many of the documents online, doxing Dominion staffers by publicly disclosing their names, email addresses, and cell phone numbers. The judge barred the indicted, election-denying lawyer from being involved in one of the Dominion defamation cases after she publicly leaked the company’s internal emails. Lambert, had represented former Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne in the lawsuit for his false claims that Dominion rigged the election. Dominion filed the lawsuit against Byrne for these false allegations You can't make this shit up.
Ben:Where have I heard that before?
Elly:And don't forget the January 6th coup attempt that Trump and his minions will probably claim as a holiday.
Ben:They want the day off and with pay.
Elly:Mm hmm, no doubt. Anyway, I'm done here. I need a cold one.
Ben:I'll join you.
