Speaker 1: These are basically his friends. They're people that want to buddy up with him. But he took a pretty combative tone, I thought.

Speaker 2: At Davos, right, right. It's the elite gathering. And he didn't go, actually, just to be clear. He was piped in, essentially. You know, I've been to Davos once, and I never really liked it, because I feel like it's rich people licking each other up and down all day. But I think there probably will be more resistance than you think from some of those world leaders, because I don't think they like being lectured to, necessarily. Although all of them sort of have been doing the reach out. Bill Gates was saying, who didn't like him before, said, and gave money to Kamala Harris, was saying, you know, I was impressed when I had dinner with him. And same thing with Jamie Dimon and everybody else. So they're talking the talk. I'm not so sure European leaders will do the same thing.

Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, one of the interesting things about that is that he didn't leave off the culture war stuff. He bundled it in with the tariffs and the oil and gas prices and the interest rates. It was a classic Trump campaign speech, but said before the leaders of some of the biggest corporations in the entire world.

Speaker 3: You know what I think? I don't think, unlike a lot of people, I don't think President Trump is very smart. But I do give him credit for one thing. He's cunning. If you ever remember the movie Analyze This, he's talking about the mafia guys. He goes, these guys aren't smart like you are, doctor, but they're cunning. They smell weakness. So sometimes I think that with Donald Trump, when he's doing this, he's throwing things out there just to see who he can pinch on and pull on and pick on. Because he smells the people that are going to bend the knee, and then he draws those people in, and they bend the knee.

Speaker 1: That's probably not a bad assessment, honestly, in terms of Trump's ability to sense people who he needs to dominate.

Speaker 4: That is true. I mean, there's no question that that's part of the negotiating process. But these are world leaders. These are business leaders. These are the people that America needs to bring in. We're going to bring jobs back here. And as Jamie Dimon said, I mean, get over it. You know, when he talked about tariffs. Let me play that Jamie Dimon sound,

Speaker 1: just so people know what you're talking about. Listen.

Speaker 5: I look at tariffs. They are an economic tool. That's it. They're an economic weapon, depending how you use it and why you use it and stuff like that. And people argue, is it inflationary and non-inflationary? I would put in perspective, if it's a little inflationary, but it's good for national security, so be it. I mean, get over it. National security trumps a little bit more inflation. But I think it really, the question is how they get used.

Speaker 6: Jamie Dimon doesn't worry about inflation, does he? Jamie Dimon doesn't have to sit there and worry about the price of, I don't know, groceries, the price of gas, the price of anything. Your washing machine and whatever. He's on an all-time high right now. Because he's Jamie Dimon.

Speaker 4: Well, energy was one of the things they brought up, too. I mean, by bringing down the cost of energy, we're going to bring down the cost of goods. And I think that's one of the things that he talked about today. Advising Saudi Arabia and the OPEC nations that we're going to be producing enough oil and natural gas that we'll be able to not only supply our own companies, but be able to supply overseas as well.

Speaker 7: Look, Abby, the bottom line is he's capturing the moment. He's capturing the moment. He just became the President of the United States the second time. He got the popular vote, which he worked very hard campaigning in the Bronx, which he knew he was never going to win. And all over New York. But he wanted that popular vote. And he has it. And he's, I mean, look how aggressive he just was. And he, that's, and he won. Like, it was obvious Kamala Harris was not going to govern that way. She was going to be more of a statesperson. And he's going to be more of, here I am. America's back. And I'm going to steamroll. And you guys need me. Europe, you need me. And he's going to try to do the best for his administration and for his country as he can. That's his style. It's not my style when I'm in a courtroom, but that's his style.

Speaker 3: And he's going to, he's going to execute it. Did you notice what you just said? You said he's going to do the best for his administration and his country. Right. The way President Biden did for his administration.

Speaker 6: No, President Biden did it for the country.

Speaker 3: Like, what you, what, what I would prefer, and I think a lot of Americans would prefer, is that someone that stood up there was thinking about not what was best for them, or their administration, or their cult of personality, but what's best for their country.

Speaker 7: But in his mind, it's the same thing. In his mind, the people who elected him and the people who he has surrounded himself with are people who believe what he just said. They believe in the tariffs. They believe in a strong America. They believe in a trillion dollars being invested in America from Saudi Arabia.

Speaker 6: But listen, have you heard, like, what he says? MBS is a great guy, right? Kim Jong-un is a great guy.

Speaker 7: I don't think he said he was a great guy lately.

Speaker 6: Kim Jong-un, he's been a great guy lately. I think he said I had a good relationship with him. No, actually, I think he said they were, like, best friends and writing love letters to each other, but that's neither here nor there. What he's not doing is treating our allies, the people that have helped us sustain the Pax Americana since 1945, the people who have traded with us, who have given intelligence to us, who went to Afghanistan with us because they're our NATO allies, he treats them like garbage. I think the prime minister of Italy is pretty happy with Mr. Trump.

Speaker 7: I think the president of Argentina is pretty happy.

Speaker 6: The president of Argentina and the... Listen, the prime minister of Italy and the president of Argentina are very Trump-esque.
