Now they're in South Korea, and that's where he's going to meet with President Xi of China.
So far, this trip looks like a big success, especially knowing two hours ago they announced the trade deal with South Korea has been done. Yeah. And remember, he's going to be and he's going to start his Friday. Uh in Korea Which will be the middle of the night, Thursday night here, and we'll be back at the White House at 3 o'clock on. Friday afternoon in order to celebrate Halloween with uh A mob of children on the south lawn of the White House.
Pretty amazing. I know. And evidently, overseas, he's not sleeping. He's just so energized by what he's seeing. I think it's been impressive.
I think the Middle East doing business deals and establishing relationships, it really matters. It matters a lot in business. And, Carl, bring me inside it. How much does it matter when you know the other leader?
Well, it matters a lot. I mean uh And it also, you know, you can see people evolve. That's one of the amazing things, is you can. Yeah. how a relationship is developing with someone.
uh because of events and uh And most of the time, that can be for the good. A president being involved, I'm sure it looks like he's off to a great start with a new president. Prime Minister of Japan, a very important relationship for us. And but also, you know, sometimes they go south, and we saw that recently with Putin. Who, you know, frankly played the president in Alaska, and the president didn't like it.
And He made said things that obviously the President thinks he has not lived up to. The president's going to deal with that accordingly. And so, yes, it matters a lot. You want to have a relationship where these two people get to know each other. because it gives a higher level of trust in the conversations that they then have.
Uh Bush, for example. Had a great relationship with the Japanese prime minister Kwazumi, who's one of the two. Modern uh Japanese prime ministers who besides Abe, who is a close friend. of who is a close friend of KwaZumi. uh who the longest serving prime ministers of the modern Japan.
And Um they got to know each other, which was really odd because Kwazumi's father was a Japanese soldier in World War II who was shooting at people like. George W. Bush's father, who was a Navy pilot in the Pacific, and yet their two sons became. very close comrades and companions. partners in in uh They're helping.
you know, defend the the security interest of both countries.
So a couple of things. With Japan, they're going to have $10 billion worth of investments in auto plants here, $400 billion of potential investments in energy. And they're also agreed to $550 billion worth of strategic investment here.
So the president knows, I mean, I don't ever remember a president thinking so much about business. He also is on the precipice of cutting a deal with Columbia. He did a deal with Colombia and Malaysia and is close to doing one with Thailand and Vietnam.
So that April meeting when everything was kind of blown up and or, you know, we're trying to rebalance trade, little by little, he's pulling them in. I also think it's kind of interesting with China. They let it out that they're very optimistic something's going to get done tomorrow on fentanyl, something's going to get done tomorrow on soybeans, and something's going to get done on rare earth. What are you hearing?
Well, first of all, let me say one thing. The five hundred fifty billion dollars includes the things that the other things that you mentioned. four hundred billion dollars of investment in certain things. And uh ten billion dollars for new auto plants, Japanese auto plants in the U.S., et cetera.
So five hundred fifty billion and that's a pretty big chunk coming from Japan. I mean, that's a significant part of their economy. The the s the look, it is clear that people want to do business with the US. And um my sense is that the Japani the Chinese You know, look, this is Doing something about the precursor chemicals for fentanyl is something they could have done a long time ago. It's a sign that the president has pressured them enough.
that they feel they need to give up that card now. Um And look, they're making a mistake on rare earths because what is happening is they were.
Sort of the supplier to the world of this vital element that goes into electric cars and it goes into all kinds of things that just. Chips, you name it.
Now the rest of the world says we can't trust them to be a reliable supplier.
So, we're going to develop our own. We call them rare earths, but they're actually pretty common. It's just that we don't. Mine them much outside of China.
Now we're going to do it in Australia, we're going to do it in the US, we're going to do it in other, Ukraine has a lot of rare earths.
So the Chinese have hurt themselves over the long run. The interesting thing to me is Food. China does not have enough agriculture to sustain its own people, so it's a net importer of food. We are a net exporter of food. grown far more than we can ever consume and this is going to be helpful to uh soybean farmers in In the Great Plains, who have been cut off from the Chinese market by the Chinese trying to make up their food needs with purchases from Brazil and Argentina and elsewhere.
But it looks like they can't get enough of them at the price they need. We're already the largest supplier of pork, for example, to China, because nobody else can match our prices in our volume.
So let's jog over to the shutdown. Center Chris Coons on C-SPAN. Let it be known exactly what they're doing. Cut 17. Republicans control the House, the Senate and the White House.
Frankly, this is our only moment of leverage. And although a very unpleasant tool to use, It's gotten us focused on what we have to do to change direction on health care.
So if you're in the military, if you're an air traffic controller, TSA worker, any federal employee, just know that you're being used as leverage. Yeah. Oh, I think about the kids who are going to not have school lunch programs or the families that depend upon Snap funds to put something on the table. Just you know, if you're hungry, just remember the Democrats are you're giving the Democrats a tool to use and they're using it. Or actually, they're using you as a tool, or maybe they are just tools, period.

So here we are. We're weeks into this now. The President's overseas, and we know that there's really no off-ramp. If I gave Karl Rove the keys to design an off-ramp that would end this thing, even though you're a conservative, how does it end? Knowing that there's got to be the Democrats looking for at least a space-saving measure.
Yeah, well, there's got to be a level of confidence and trust among the members in the Senate and the House. Democrat and Republican, that they agree that they're going to have conversations and that there are solutions possible. It's going to have to be give and take on both sides. Democrats want to get the continuation of the Affordable Care Act, the Obama care subsidies. Republicans might be willing to do that provided you take into account the enormous fraud.
How can you deal with that? And also, so that the very wealthy are not getting the same kind of benefit that somebody who middle class or working class it gets. There are ways to arrive at it, but ultimately it's going to come down to the trust that you find between individual players in the House and Senate. you know, the chairman of the Senate. Appropriations committee, Susan Collins has got to play a big role in this.
The chairman of the House Appropriations Committee. Tom Cole of Oklahoma has got to play a role in this. And the good news is, those are the kinds of people that Democrats say, you know what? If Tom gives me his word or Susan gives me his word, I can count on it. But it requires the Democrats to stop playing games.
Look, I hate this. When Republicans are in the minority and Democrats are in power, the Republicans make a stink about a clean resolution and don't support it. And when Republicans are in power and the Democrats are in the minority, and the Republicans propose a clean, continuing resolution. The Democrats play games. And in both instances, it's wrong.
We have the biggest enterprise on the face of the planet called the U.S. government. And for us to be treating the budget and the fiscal responsibility of that institution as casually as we're doing with this is ridiculous.
So the Democrats, there's a reason why you pointed it out. Republicans are their approval ratings are rising because the Democrats are being so open. We want to subject the country to such a volume of hurt that you'll side with us against the people who are trying to do the responsible thing. A continuing resolution ought to be clean. You shouldn't be playing games on it.
Here's how we enter. I want you to hear CNN, because I know you don't watch.
So I taped this portion. This is their pollster, Cut 22. Take a look here, the shift in net popularity versus pre-shutdown. When we're looking at the Republican Party overall, that brand actually up two points. That's within the margin of error, but clearly it hasn't dropped.
Come over to this side of the screen. Look at the net approval ratings for Republicans in Congress. It's actually up five points since pre-shutdown.
So what we're seeing here is the Republican brand in Congress has actually improved somewhat compared to where we were at pre-shutdown. I'm surprised they didn't cut his mic, but those are numbers. You live in the numbers world, Carl. Yeah, is he still employed incidentally? No, look, look, this is, I mean, go to almost any poll.
And he's right. Take a look at before the shutdown, look at the most recent one. And it's e and at at worst, it's flat. But in most instances, you're starting to see Democrats declining and Republicans growing. Albeit, you know, look, we're a deeply polarized country, so there are not going to be big leaps.
But the independent voters, the people who are weakly linked to either party, are figuring out who's responsible for this. Disaster, and it's the Democrats. They're clear and open about it. They glory in it. We're, you know, we make people hurt enough.
The Republicans okay. No, no, don't think it works out. Three races to get through before you have to go. I know. Tizor Mamdani, this emerged from his, I guess, on his radio interview from two years ago.
Listen to this. Cut twenty nine. Everybody's looking at the polls. They're saying things look good. They're looking at the betting odds.
They're saying things look good. That's exactly how Andrew Cuomo felt seven days until the primary a few months ago. No, I'm sorry. I should have said 24. Go ahead.
We have to make clear that when The boot of the MIPD is on your neck. It's been leased by the ideas. I mean, this is just a myriad of crazy statements he has made, most of which are caught on camera. What are we doing here in New York City? Uh you're about ready to elect a crazy man mayor.
Wait for my column tomorrow. You probably not listened to it, but it's well worth listening to the six minute, forty four second video that he cut in response to the exchange that he had with Vice President J.D. Vance over his, over Lamdami's aunt supposedly being. Nervous after 9-11. I thought it was one of the most astonishing.
It was letting me tell you, the video is well done. He's powerful. He's persuasive. He's eloquent. But it is the dumbest thing I think I've seen in a recent campaign because he basically says the city of New York is full of bigots.
Hate Muslims, and we've taken. I've had enough. I do not intend to be, you know, I thought I could be the mayor of a united city, but that was that was false, that was wrong. I made a mistake. And by God, we're not going to stand for this anymore.
I mean, he's depicting New York as a cesspool of bigotry when we know that New York is a city that celebrates. The great, you know, cacophony of face and ethnicity and Origin and outlook. I mean, you know, this guy is depicting New York as, you know, some hellhole for. Everybody who is a Muslim, and it is the wrong message for a guy who should try and unite the city of New York. You're going to see it reflected.
And in your column, keeping mine and Carl, he made it up. He didn't have an aunt. It's somebody else who's dead. And they've not even seen a panic. His aunt was in Tanzania.
Yeah. Yeah. It was a family friend that he called his aunt. But I didn't get into that in it because I thought, even worse than that minor statement was. The the essence of what he said, it is one of the most astonishingly A short Cited, irrational diatribes, I think I've seen in politics.
Two quick races to look at. Jack Chitterelli, what are the chances of him winning in New Jersey?
Well, he's got a shot. She's a terrible candidate. Uh but you know, but the Democrats have a 13-point registration advantage. The fact that it's competitive says something about how weak a candidate. She is, and how authentic a candidate he is.
I've never met him. I've just seen him on television, but I've seen him in the debates. He just seems like a good guy, and in politics, that counts for a lot. I hope so. And then you have.
What are the chances Abigail Spanberger gets upset by Lieutenant Governor Winsom?
Well Look, the polls there have shown consistently a high single digit, 10 points at most, and maybe a couple of Polls above that. The interesting thing is that The Spamberger's a much better candidate than Cheryl in New Jersey. but she is hampered by her attorney general candidate Uh, who is this guy? Terrible job. He's gonna lose.
And Yeah, Jay Jones and Mayeris, the Republican, has done a terrific job as Attorney General. And has weathered this quite well and been very effective. I think he's gonna win. And that says something about the Commonwealth of Virginia, where there still is a climate of two things. Yeah.
and a belief that the people in office ought to be good people who have strong values. and and not the kind of bigoted comments and nasty personal stuff that That Jones said. And they also don't particularly like candidates who want to be the chief law enforcement officer who got arrested for a Traveling 117 miles per hour in your fancy car in a 70-mile an hour zone.
