Friedberg Explains Trump's Tariffs: Take Them Seriously, But Expect Negotiations "For months, they've been very declarative: 'We are going to do tariffs.'" "Bessent said it to us in our interview. Lutnick said it to us in our interview." "No one took them seriously.  And everyone thought they were bluffing." " And they actually have to do it in order to get the leverage that they need to be able to negotiate trade deals." "And they have to look a little crazy." "Now everyone takes them seriously." "Now everyone shows up to the negotiating table and now they can actually negotiate and then announce a series of win, after win, after win, and say, we got this set of countries to capitulate today, by making the case that they're actually willing to go all the way to the wall on stuff." " That's the only way I can kind of rationalize this rollout."

Antonio Gracias Breaks Down SHOCKING Immigration Data 🤯 On E222 of All-In, @AntonioGracias joined to break down recent revelations that his @DOGE team uncovered while working at @SocialSecurity: THE DISCOVERY: "We mapped the system from enumeration, that's how you get your number, all the way to the end, went to the offices and saw how the offices operate." "And in that process, one of our engineers found this data called Enumeration Beyond Entry." "It had this giant ramp to it, and that just jumped out at us." "And we're like, okay, what is that? So we dug into it." "What happened was this program was designed for people that we want to let in, like the CARE Program, which is the Afghans. They would be in this number." "What jumped out at us wasn't that this is here, because it has legitimate use." "It's the growth. Why did it grow this fast?" "That's what we dug into." "What we find here is that a legitimate program was... the word I use is abused." THE PROCESS: "They allowed people that were illegals at the border to come in legally." "They were giving people, at times, notices to appear." "And what that allows you to do is come in the country, and then you're scheduled a court date, which is like six years out." "Six years out is the average, by the way. It could be longer than that." "And while you're waiting for your court date, you could fill out an asylum application." "Once the application's in, you can file another form, 765, to get a work authorization." "Once you get that, you get a 766 and we automatically send you a social security card in the mail." "No interview at all." "That is the majority of the growth you see in these numbers." THE SHOCKING DATA: "We found that every benefit program we looked at was being accessed by these people." "1.3M of them are on Medicaid right now, today." "And by the way, it's just ramping, it's just starting." "And we looked at voter rolls and we found that thousands of them were registered to vote in a handful of states." "And then we went even further with those friendly states and found that many of those people had actually voted." "It was shocking to us. And if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it." "And this is the tip of the iceberg."
