| 0:00.0 | So, do you have any interest in knowing what our neighbors to the north think about us right now? |
| 0:27.8 | Okay, listen, it is not that kid's fault that we are currently being led by monsters who are trying to destroy our closest allies but you can understand the sentiment that was from this weekend |
| 0:36.1 | after donald plunged our country for absolutely no reason whatsoever. |
| 0:42.0 | That makes sense anyway, into a trade war with our allies. |
| 0:48.3 | Okay. |
| 0:49.3 | He spent years obviously playing a game of economic chicken, threatening terrorists, making big promises, |
| 0:58.0 | demonstrating his complete and utter lack of understanding about what any of this means |
| 1:02.9 | or what the impact would be. And then, you know, sort of at the last minute, he backs down |

| 2:13.0 | But it gets worse, which is always something you can count on what we're talking about. To make this happen, Donald declared a national economic emergency, invoking the so-called |
| 2:24.6 | International Emergency Economic Powers Act. This means he can now single-handedly manage |
| 2:31.8 | U.S. imports like he's playing 11-dimensional chess, when really what's |
| 2:36.8 | happening is, as usual, he's just kick it over the board. When are those tariffs set to kick in? |
