Ladies and gentlemen we've got major news today shocking the Teamsters Union

conducted a poll and the members overwhelmingly back Donald Trump.

Because of this, now you'd think the Teamsters Union would just say, okay all our

members they want Trump for president, we should endorse him.

This is apocalyptic to Democrats. They have lost the Teamsters Union.

UAW is blaming Democrats for the loss of auto jobs, I don't know with this. This is a major

story that suggests they're not going to be able to win losing this much

gets asked, hey the Teamsters Union says they're not

going to endorse a Democrat, what do you say to that and Trump goes, oh wow it's a great

Teamsters union refusing to endorse the Democrat means they're backing Donald

Trump but look they're not endorsing Trump but in the poll we've got the data the teamsters released.

We've got the Fed lowering interest rates in Israel. Ladies and gentlemen, this was crazy this morning.
