1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: Dayside Richard Arnold, good morning, Good morning, mikel. Sort of

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: this time tomorrow Rose Garden should be fun.

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:08,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is the eve of the announcement of the

4
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,639
Speaker 2: Trump tariff plan. Liberation know is what Trump is calling it,

5
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 2: but it remains unclear just what will be done, who

6
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 2: will be liberated, and what will they be liberated from.

7
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:20,319
Speaker 2: Wall Street is down a bit right now after what

8
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:22,959
Speaker 2: is the worst start to the US stock market for

9
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 2: several years. Present. Trump will announce his plans at a

10
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 2: Rose Garden event, says his press rep today. In relation

11
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 2: to this.

12
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 3: The President will be addressing the decades of unfair trade

13
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 3: practices that have ripped our country off and American workers off.

14
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 3: It has hollowed out our middle class.

15
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 2: Many other Trump aids indicating they have little idea of

16
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:44,879
Speaker 2: what's going to be happening. So the Trump tarifts are

17
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 2: expected to take effect immediately. And what we have heard

18
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 2: of the twenty five percent tariff that is expected to

19
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 2: be imposed on imported cars and car parts is that

20
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 2: those tariffs could increase car prices here by thousands and

21
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 2: thousands of dollars. Trump has said he doesn't care if

22
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 2: those cars go up, but in Detroit in the area

23
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 2: of Stiling Heights, which is part of the city northern

24
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 2: side of the city. Mayor Michael Taylor says he is

25
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 2: very concerned about what might happen with all of this.

26
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 3: He says, it would be devastating. We're gracing for the worst,

27
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 3: hoping that there's some change in his plan. But if

28
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 3: these tariffs go into a fact and if they stay

29
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 3: in effact for any period beyond a couple weeks, it's

30
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 3: going to have a devastating impact on the local economy

31
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 3: and Sterling Heights, where we have four large automotive manufacturing

32
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 3: plants and dozens, if not hundreds of auto suppliers. About

33
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 3: forty percent of our jobs are directly related to the auto.

34
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 1: Industry, and that's a lot of work.

35
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 2: As you said, any new plant that might be intended

36
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 2: for his area would take he Reckons about five years

37
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 2: to stout operations. So will consumers carry the load for

38
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 2: years ahead? That is the issue.

39
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, Indeed, there we have these vites today, a couple

40
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: in Florida, one in Wisconsin. How does that unfold you, reckon?

41
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, it is election day for a court seat

42
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 2: in Wisconsin. Who cares, right, except maybe a handful of

43
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 2: people wearing cheeseheads at a Packers football game, but wrong.

44
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 2: This nothing voter has become the first big test of

45
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,119
Speaker 2: Trump and Musk since they moved into the White House.

46
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 2: It's also a race where a Trump win could flip

47
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 2: the balance in the state Supreme Court and allow for

48
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 2: redrawing the federal election maps. So pretty significant on a

49
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 2: national front. Same also for Florida, where we have a

50
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 2: couple of special elections by elections. One is to replace

51
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 2: Mike Waltsey, national security advisor of course as the one

52
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 2: who set up the signal gate chat including a reporter,

53
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 2: and if the Dems win that it would likely be

54
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 2: good night, Mike. But back to Wisconsin. This is a

55
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 2: race where Elon Monk. Musk has pumped in some thirty

56
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 2: five million dollars New Zealand for the contest among two

57
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 2: contenders people almost no one had ever heard of, Susan

58
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 2: Crawford the LIB and Brad Shimmel the Trumpster. So Musk

59
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 2: is accused of trying to buy this election, and the

60
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 2: campaign advertising has been insane. We're talking one hundred and

61
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 2: thirty million dollars New Zealand for a court seat, and

62
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 2: the commercials are slamming Crawford and Shimmel as being pro crime,

63
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 2: both of them pro crime, pro rapist, pro pedophile. Here's

64
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 2: a little sample of what's been on TV. This streets

65
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 2: like any other in Wisconsin, but the new neighbor is

66
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 2: a pedophile thanks to Judge Susan Crawford's sweetheart sentence.

67
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: Oh corrupt is Brad Schimmel Shimmell give a plea deal

68
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: to a man caught with child porn?

69
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 3: Crawford let the predator out in just four years.

70
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 1: Brad Schimmel let a sex predator loose on our kids,

71
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 1: creating the weakest walk free, well rapist walk free.

72
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 2: Called Crawford's negligence utterly disgusting. What the hell is going

73
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 2: on in Wisconsin? Yeah, instead of building a wall with Mexico,

74
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 2: some are suggesting maybe they should put a wall up

75
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 2: around Wisconsin if there was so many pedophiles and rapists.

76
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 2: Then Elon Musk flew in this week for a kind

77
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 2: of political rally. He put on a cheese he'd hat,

78
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 2: spoke to a crowd of two thousand people who had

79
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 2: to sign up a document saying they were Musk supporters. However,

80
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 2: some protesters got into this fake town Hall and Bood

81
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 2: Musk as he took to the stage, Welcome to politics, Elon.

82
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 2: He then handed out a couple of million dollar checks

83
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 2: he said he would give to random voters. That led

84
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 2: to a lawsuit Mike claiming Musk was trying to buy votes,

85
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 2: but the Wisconsin court said the election lotto could proceed

86
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 2: without saying why. Musk then began his big million dollar giveaway,

87
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 2: announcing the first check goes to Nicholas Jacobs. So this

88
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 2: dude jumps on stage wearing a pack of sweatshirt. But

89
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 2: now we find he wasn't even from Wisconsin and he

90
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 2: wasn't chosen by chance. In court Elon Musk, a lawyer

91
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 2: told the judge that when the MAGA billionaire said the

92
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 2: voting sweepstakes was random, he didn't mean there was an

93
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 2: element of chance. The opposing lawyer called that crazy, absurd.

94
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 2: You know Elon would give everyone in this country, say

95
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 2: a billion dollars. Mic, we could all stay home and

96
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 2: set this out. Until then, it appears you cannot trust

97
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 2: some politicos even with a million dollar votes.

98
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 1: It is too much fun. Richard, appreciate it. Richard donold

99
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:04,520
