A digitally composited/AI-generated image showing a man resembling Donald Trump (blond hair, dark navy suit, white shirt, red tie with an American flag pin) seated at a futuristic spaceship command console with his hands on the controls. He has a stern, unsmiling expression. Behind him, several uniformed crew members (including women with hair in buns) stand at surrounding control panels, some wearing patches with an arrow/chevron-and-globe emblem matching the U.S. Space Force logo displayed on a large circular screen/insignia above the main viewport. Through the large window behind him, planet Earth is visible from orbit with multiple large fiery orange explosions occurring above its surface amid a starry black sky. The console in front of him and side panels are lined with illuminated buttons, switches, and screens, several flashing red. The header text "Space Force" appears in bold dark blue letters on a white banner at the top of the image.

>> But Greg, you know you spent a long time editing magazines ready for magazines as you know anytime you write a list it's it's the most controversial thing. >> Yeah, you should you can you can just grab anybody's attention. I'm sure CNN right now is trying to find a psychic and a Ouija board to interview dead presidents over this list because there but I think that I think Trump made a huge mistake here he's addressing the past presidents and not future ones he needs to make clear that he's not only the best and what already happened but will be the best of what will ever be. I think he really sold him sold himself short by the way no one else is going to do this so why not do it. You know his we've got to remember when you hear the word historian you think some kind of crusty well-respected person no, no, no, no, no, no, no, they're just old liberals, they're just a cluster of bold face names who are guilty of plagiarism fabricating citations they make their factual at their factual errors are countless because nobody counts them the people who certify the official history are drawn from a profession that is uniformly politically lopsided we know this of the history and media is self reinforcing and they were awarded for a moralistic tale of history that is almost never true you never get what happened and I know this now being on this planet for you know 40 years history sits in the humanities department it's the conservative to liberal ratios like one to 99 the faculty is uniformly left when they say historians agree it's because I all vote one way so why not do this why not stick a finger up their ass and make him scream by the way Trump is doing a lot of things this is fun but him doing the space force issue space Academy the trump accounts the drug prices maha Venezuela Iran tbd you can agree that he might not be the greatest president ever but no one has hit the ground running and done so much not just identifying problems with the country but actually saying let's do something about it as opposed to Democrats tearing things apart with no solution, Jessica without a doubt most consequential and most consequential in the history of all world leaders since the beginning of time except for the great Jesus Christ. None whatsoever Shannon watching him interact with the with astronauts. It's it's kind of magical to watch it is fine because you can see his real personality how much he wants to have this interaction with him admires what they do. And you know it's hard to impress him so you have these astronauts flying around is like listen you guys are brave and that's really cool. And I think as far as the list is concerned if you love and support this president you would be so disappointed if he did not put himself first you expect that he would but I also like to think think picture him sitting around like oh I cannot wait to drop this list and watch heads explode because he really enjoys doing that and I can imagine that he was like art who's going to be the first person to do the stuff that Greg is talking about to go out there be like how dare you do this list. So I think he's really going to enjoy watching the roll out of the list and I think you really enjoy is being down there in Texas where he's going after tell Rico as well which we can talk about which historian are we going to see on CNN or MS. It's already. I really can't wait for tonight. I'm already happening right now, but he's good at that kind of stuff and he's he's good at the teller ego stuff because he has no villain and it's so and listen he's so engaged the GOP loves him on the campaign trail because they feel like he's their best medicine messenger and when he has something like this to have this opponent kind of this foil to go back and forth for I think he you see how much he enjoys being out there.

Here to discuss all of this is former Trump Deputy National Security Advisor, KT McFarland. Always great to see you, especially great to see you, KT, on this particular story because it's right in your wheelhouse. I want to start with Venezuela. When you step back and you look at this deal, and I get, you know, there are all kinds of other questions about this, but it does kind of make you wonder if when President Trump's memoirs are written, the whole, this whole situation in Venezuela, where the US winds up gaining access to these reserves, wasn't the precursor to his decision to then go after Iran? Oh, I think it was. And I think they probably thought Iran might be easier than it turned out to be, but it didn't. It turned out to be harder, but we still won. And that's the difference. We've won that. We've won that war. Because why? Because the oil that was moving through the Strait of Hormuz, 20 million barrels a day, it's going differently. It's going through the Strait of Hormuz. Yeah, I'm probably 10 million barrels a day now because we've cleared the southern route. But a lot of that oil that used to move by tankers is now moving by pipeline. And it's not going to go back to tankers. And then some of the shortfall has been made up by American oil and natural gas that's moving out of the United States. So at the end of the day, we got rid of the nukes. And if they try to rebuild the nukes, well, we'll bomb those again. And as far as the importance of the Strait, it's going to be increasingly irrelevant, especially because of the Venezuela oil connection. We are now controlling a quarter of the world's oil and whoever controls the world's energy, the world's fossil fuels in the years ahead controls the future. You know, it's kind of amazing to think about, but for five decades, Iran has used their ability to put the squeeze in the Strait of Hormuz to get exact, you know, political things from other people. It's almost like they kind of pulled that bluff this time with the wrong dude, and it didn't work out for them. And they may have broken the one thing, the one lever that they've always had. You know, that's the point. They thought they were dealing with, you know, typical American president. They didn't realize it was Donald Trump and he plays by different games. And so they thought, okay, we're going to close the Strait of Hormuz just like we tried to do with President Reagan, just like we've tried to do many times before. But because Donald Trump already had the Armada prepositioned, he could then put a blockade on Iran. So for six months, no ships have gone into Iran. No ships have gone out of Iran. Their economy is spiraling. And yet at the same time, we've got this workaround of how to get oil to the world. You're going to see oil prices start to go down. I think pretty dramatically now that that shortfall of 20 million barrels a day, that's now getting to the producers. That's getting to the refineries. And it wasn't three weeks ago. It wasn't two months ago. Now it is. And so the price of oil should start coming down and hopefully the price of gasoline to follow. So not only is it significant in terms of American power in Venezuela, the U.S. having control of that. It also means that our enemies, our biggest rivals, whether it's a country like Cuba or a country like China, doesn't have access, free access for cut rate oil from Venezuela. Yeah, China had been all over South America trying to get their hands on Venezuelan and other other resources, oil as well. And now they're gone. They're out of there. They're not having any access to that. All China can get is that Iranian oil, which they're probably not getting that much of anyway. The genius of President Trump is that he realizes as a businessman, what's the best country solution you can have to all of your trade, all of your commerce, all of your manufacturing, all of your production to do it nearby. So we don't have to think about trans-specific trade or transatlantic trade. We're now going to have a Western hemisphere united at peace, trading with each other and under the United States leadership. The cheap goods that we've been importing from China for decades, they're going to now be made in South America. And because of the energy, particularly as we look to the future and the requirements of the data centers and artificial intelligence, and he's a lot more energy. Well, who's going to have all the energy? Us. Yes. Make the Western hemisphere great again. KT McFarland, as always, really appreciate it. Thank you so much.

All right. Welcome back. You know, in other news, which happens to be good and also interesting, how about this? Walmart and Eagle have lowered prices and Piggly Wiggly specifically announced last week it's affordable protein initiative. A P I is reinforcing the company's commitment to provide fresh, high quality meat at an exceptional value. It seems like I'm doing a commercial through strategic manufacturer partnerships, fresh in-store meat operations. It's proprietary power buying program and it's cost plus 10% pricing philosophy. Piggly Wiggly is helping customers save on the products families purchase most. It does sound like a commercial. Here's what they say. Our mission has always been simple. As Kevin McDaniel, deliver the highest quality fresh meat at the best value possible. Every decision we make from negotiating with the manufacturer to cutting fresh beef and our pork in our stores, packaging fresh poultry and pricing our products is centered on creating value for the families who trust Piggly Wiggly the most. All right. But why now? Why are they lowering them now? Why are retailers going and making this effort? I think affordable protein initiative would probably make the argument that policy changes are creating an environment where retailers are feeling that they can lower prices and still make their margins. I don't know. To talk more about this and the timing of it, please welcome to the show Mr. TJ Wilson. He's with the American First Policy Institute. Thanks for coming on, brother. I mean, that is a good question, right? Why are they doing it? And why are they doing it now? It's a great question. You know, I think you have to start with there being three ways to govern in situations like this where prices are high. You can govern like the last administration where there's runaway inflation, there's runaway prices, there's runaway input costs, there's no new market expansions in the form of trade deals, and you basically do nothing. That's one way to govern. There's another way to govern that we've seen of late right in New York City, where you have folks like Mayor Mondani who have this idea of government run grocery stores. And what those do is, you know, they make us collect our groceries in the same way we stand in line at the DMV, no selection, no service, no quality, and all the private businesses leave. Or really, you can govern the way that we're seeing the Trump administration govern, which is, you know, where there's a strategic slog of long investments in time to deregulate in both a surgical manner and at Trump speed, frankly. And, you know, we're starting to see those sort of macro, large scale costs that are coming down in the economy, and they're reducing everything from the cost of refrigeration to energy that cuts across the whole economy to input costs. I mean, look at the price of natural gas, look at the price of fuel, you know, you can see it really across the whole economy. And so it's a lot of hard work that's going on by President Trump, by Secretary Rollins, by the rest of the cabinet, to lean into this problem from day one, you know, and we're starting to see the results. Egg prices don't come down by 90% because of charity or accident. You know, and you've seen that now there's double digits with other proteins with other staples. So it's really promising news. And, you know, I think it's really going to be hay in the barn. A lot of this work that's going on as we turn to the fall and the winter. Yeah, because it because in the fall, we all know November the fifth, it's going to be about affordability, right? And this goes, I would think a long way towards that affordability issue, right? And I guess my question is, is that how is he strong armoring us? How is he getting these folks to lean in with him to bring these prices down? What's in it for them? Well, it's a good question. I think folks forget that President Trump is the only president we've had in decades, to my knowledge, that started and ran large businesses, very successful large businesses. And in a lot of ways, he leads from the front in that way. And we see that with the way that he talks to these companies with the ways that he holds them accountable, frankly, for when the macros are trending lower, which is what we're seeing. And, you know, it's not acceptable to not pass those savings onto consumers. And frankly, we've got a lot of patriotic companies that you've seen cut prices and pass those savings that are systemic along the consumer. So, you know, I think he leads from the front, I think he also, you know, provides a lot of certainty to folks, we all know that that's the key, the key piece of this right before prices get cut, there's got to be certainty that, you know, we're not going to get whiplash. So well, so the last thing that really one of the last things, but it's probably the biggest and you probably know what I'm going to say, but he needs to have come his way. And in line with what he's doing here with these retailers is, is that energy price, oil prices, that's going to be kind of the fly in the heart one here in the short term. And I say short term because I do believe he understands that it definitely will be over. And obviously the sooner, the better. And the trade off is, and I've said this a hundred times on this show, at least we're getting something for this higher inflation. And today it came in rather benign and it's going in the right direction. But we had 9.1% CPI in June of 2022 under under Joe Biden. And what did we get from that? Did we disarm any big terrorist country in the world for that? No, we had, we had to pay a tax and we got nothing for it. At least with this small tax, and we're still not as high as the prices were under his government, we're getting something for these higher prices. And I think that we need to make sure that that message gets out. I think you're right. And you know, there are prices were up stunningly 25% food prices were up 25% during the last administration. That is an incredible amount of money on average across all goods, some goods. Oh, yeah, some goods were multi, you know, hundreds of percent side, you know, multiple, multiple times higher. You know, and so folks forget this, it takes a lot of hard work in the trenches, thousands of hours from the cabinet, from, you know, pitch patriotic folks that are serving the administration that are leaning on these companies that are doing the slashing and you know, strategic surgical cutting to regulations and otherwise to bring down these costs, you know, I mean, these are where America last policies that that took time to sort of slash and gash and we're thankfully getting there. Yeah, I totally agree. Great stuff. You know, to your point about the 25% I heard that I hear that number all the time. But you want to tell me that what you know, $100 worth of groceries in 2020 was only worth 125 in 2024. Ask anybody's wife, they'll tell you no way on God's green earth. It's more like 160 bucks, 170 bucks. And I agree with that too. So I think that 25% that everybody still uses and I use it too, is really not reflective. But TJ, always love having you on you always bring us some great stuff. That was a great idea. I appreciate you that that story was very interesting. We'll see how it all comes out. We'll get that oil price down on the way we go, but I appreciate you coming on the show super

A screenshot of a plain white text block styled as a quoted message, attributed to Chuck Grassley, addressed to President Trump. The message urges Trump to help American farmers the way he helped pharmaceutical consumers, alleging that American companies selling seed, fertilizer, and chemicals overseas (particularly to Brazil) at steep discounts are overcharging American farmers — citing a 68% premium on corn seed prices paid by American farmers versus Brazilian buyers. It suggests pressuring these companies could avoid the need to appropriate $11 billion in farmer aid ("bridge" payments), asks Trump to study the issue and announce something even before negotiating, and closes with a thank-you from "the American farmer."

Text in image: From Chuck Grassley President Trump I ask you to do for American farmers what you have done for consumers of pharmaceutical products. The situation is this. American companies that produce seed fertilizer and chemicals are selling their products overseas and particularly Brazil at great discounts unfair to the American farmer. In the case of corn seed, American farmers are paying a 68% premium over what is paid in Brazil. It is easy to see that if you put pressure on these companies like you did the pharmaceutical companies you wouldn't need to appropriate $11 billion to farmers for bridge. Please study this if you find an injustice to the American farmer announce something shortly even if you can't negotiate right away. A very big thank you from the American farmer.

is a devastation but it's very dangerous because every few minutes the whistle would go off and everybody would just run because you have all the buildings around it which are in such a weakened state that people just don't know and so they just have to take off and then they come back and they're working under 50 storey buildings that you don't know if they're gonna fall down so it's a terrible thing for the workers and it's a terrible thing for the world really.

And recall that last month what happened was that there was a kind of strange seasonal adjustment problem and so there was a big reduction in employment for teachers and we knew that was gonna come back once school started up and that we'd have a strong number but this number skyrocketed so much more than we expected. To put it in perspective Bloomberg surveyed 77 economists and said what do you think the jobs number is gonna be and this blew past every single one of them. All 77 got the number wrong and by a lot. This number is four standard deviations above the average of their forecast. This is one of the best numbers relative to expectation that I've ever seen.

A news photograph of Donald Trump sitting in the driver's seat of a white garbage truck, wearing a white shirt, red tie, and an orange high-visibility safety vest. The truck's side panel is decorated with a campaign livery reading "TRUMP MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN 2024" with an American flag graphic. Another person wearing a white hard hat is visible in the passenger area behind him. A man in a dark suit with an earpiece (apparent security/Secret Service agent) stands on the pavement to the left of the truck. The setting appears to be an outdoor tarmac or parking area under an overcast sky, with some vehicles and a building visible in the background. This appears to reference a real campaign event where Trump sat in a garbage truck.

As commander in chief, it's my great honor to announce that I have approved a plan for the Navy to begin the construction of two brand new, very large, largest we've ever built battleships. You know, you used to build the Iowa, the Missouri, the Wisconsin, the Alabama, many others. We had big battleships. These are bigger, but they will have 100 times the – they'll be 100 times the force, the power. And there's never been anything like these ships. These have been under design consideration for a long time. And it started with me in my first term, because I said, "Why aren't we doing battleships like we used to?" And the – these are the best in the world. They'll be the fastest, the biggest, and by far 100 times more powerful than any battleship ever built. You look at the Iowa, the Missouri, Wisconsin, Alabama, and others, but they were similar in size. Some are a little bit bigger than the others. But if you take the biggest one, it's 100 times more powerful. They're longer by a little bit, but the – and they're bigger, they're bigger ships, but they hold much more. They use the word lethality.

It's an honor and I'm delighted to be here at the Department of State to announce some of the largest ever investments in American mining. Critical minerals are the raw materials of American strength. They power everything from advanced weaponry to automobiles and we want these essential products to be mined, refined and made right here in the USA. At the core this is our industrial strength but also our national sovereignty. That we never depend on other countries for things we need to prosper and to defend ourselves as a people. We're going to mine here, we're going to process here, we're going to refine here, we're going to manufacture here. Mr. President, you have brought mining back to America single handed with you and your administration and I just wanted to thank you for your enduring support. You've proven that we control baby girl. This group is here to prove that we can mine baby mine and we're going to put American mining back on the map. Together we're reawakening the spirit of the gold rush, the prospectors and the great pioneers of this country. People who built the United States of America and very simply we're making mining great again and the United States is doing better than it's ever done, maybe ever done.
