This is the warning. It is April 9th, 2025, and today is the 165th anniversary of a momentous day

in American history, the surrender of Robert E. Lee to the Union Forces of Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox

Courthouse on April the 9th, 1865.

Today, we are under attack from a vicious, officious, reigning, arrogant, delusional administration.

The attack could be stopped, but only by the U.S. Senate.

And so the attack will not stop.

The feckless Democrats will not stop it,

and the vicious MAGA Republicans enabled it.

Though now they are worried about it.

Let's watch.

President Trump has the opportunity

for the most extraordinary economic win for the American

people right now by making a deal, by saying let's cut a deal.

But on the other hand, and I do want to give a word of warning, there are voices in the

administration that rather than take a deal are saying we want to have tariffs as a long-term permanent

feature of the economy. I think that'd be a mistake. Let's be clear about something. These people

have the authority and they have the responsibility to make this stuff. There is no plan. There is no strategy. It has not been fought through.

The math that this is based on is utterly nonsensical. Trump imposed tariffs on penguins on uninhabited islands, and the Chinese government has retaliated.

And the Chinese, because Donald Trump likes to talk about who has the cards, they have the cards.

China will now pay a big number to our treasury.

This is all taxes.

And don't let them keep telling you that this is a tax on our people.
