Andrew. 5 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 1: I was talking to a Republican strategist yesterday, and I 6 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 1: was talking about all the executive orders and the cavalcade 7 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 1: of executive orders that we're going to were happening and 8 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 1: continue to happen and still continue to happen. And I 9 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 1: did outright ask her how many of these are going 10 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:33,639 Speaker 1: to happen and how many legal legal dispute, how many 11 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,279 Speaker 1: of them are going to be disputed legally, and she said, no, no, no, 12 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 1: we're going to He's going to start high and maybe 13 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 1: he might finish low. I don't know. So how many 14 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,840 Speaker 1: have been disputed We're one day in well. 15 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 3: Already the main one has been this court action over 16 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,200 Speaker 3: the birthright about what he's doing, or he is trying 17 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 3: to do, is to roll back birthright citizenship. So he's 18 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 3: ordering agencies to refuse to recognize the citizenship of kids 19 00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 3: that have been born in this country if a mom 20 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 3: or father is not a US citizen or a legal 21 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 3: permanent resident. 22 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 2: So boom. 23 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,680 Speaker 3: Already you've got the American Civil Liberties Union on there, 24 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 3: You've got immigrant organizations, You've got an expected mother that 25 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,679 Speaker 3: has even filed suit. So I mean cases in the 26 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 3: hours after Trump has signed these executive orders, I think 27 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 3: are kind of expected, and they're already starting to pile up, 28 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 3: and I think you're going to see a lot more. 29 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 3: We over here always judge the president. They say, watch 30 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 3: the first one hundred days. I think with Trump, it's 31 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 3: almost like the first one hundred hours. I mean, the 32 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 3: guy has a stack of things on his desk already, 33 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 3: he's signing. 34 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 1: Absolutely, he's got a lot of how but at the 35 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: end of the day, the constitution and the judiciary can 36 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 1: actually win. 37 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 3: Exactly because even the top prosecutor in California he filed 38 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 3: a lawsuit on this today and he said, you know what, 39 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 3: you can't do this. It violates the fourteenth Amendment of 40 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 3: our Constitution and the Immigration and Nationality Acts. So under 41 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 3: the amendment, it means anyone that's born here on US 42 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 3: soil automatically becomes a citizen in the country. You'd have 43 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 3: to change the constitution. I don't think Trump is going 44 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 3: to be able to do that. In you know, one 45 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 3: term and that's what he is. He is in a 46 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 3: sense a lane duck president because he can't run again. 47 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 1: Well yeah, well maybe maybe not. But you know, I 48 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: think this is what the strategist said yesterday. You know, 49 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,239 Speaker 1: I start high, finished, low, nothing, ventured, nothing one. We'll 50 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: have a crack at this and see if it flies, 51 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: and we will wait to see as time we'll tell Meanwhile, 52 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: one thing he also hinted that very very strongly, to 53 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: the point that you think it's a given, is that 54 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: he's going to put trade tariffs on two countries in February. 55 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: One is Mexico. We can understand that, but boy, he 56 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: really doesn't like Justin Trudeau and he doesn't like Canada 57 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: because they were mentioned as well. 58 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 3: No, he doesn't right now, and it's not it's I 59 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 3: think it's it's also going to be Europe. I think 60 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 3: we're going to see this in New Zealand, where you 61 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 3: guys could pay more as well. Basically, he's said, you 62 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 3: know what, we're going to follow through by imposing these 63 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 3: tariffs on Canada, and he said that they're going topose 64 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 3: about a twenty five percent tax on goods that are 65 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,239 Speaker 3: coming in both from Canada to or North Mexico to 66 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 3: our south as soon as, like you said, February first, 67 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 3: and he said, don't worry about this. All these important 68 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 3: goods you're not going to feel. And you, being the consumer, 69 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 3: you're not going to feel any of this. Well, of 70 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 3: course you are, because if these guys are paying thirty 71 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,079 Speaker 3: percent more in tariffs, this is going to trickle down 72 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 3: to us. So the consumer is going to have to 73 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 3: pay more. It's the way it works, no matter if 74 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 3: you're a Republican or Democrat in any presidency. 75 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: Yes, I don't think people, I quite understand taiffs is 76 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 1: a tax, but the text is not paid. Like if 77 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 1: we're giving you meat, we're selling you meat. We're not 78 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: paying your text. It's you guys who pay the text, 79 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: and that stops you wanting to buy so much of 80 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 1: our meat. So, in fact, this is a cost put 81 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: onto the American. 82 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 2: People, exactly exactly it is. 83 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 3: And I think this is going to happen to a 84 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 3: lot of countries, and I think this is going to 85 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 3: come back, and you know, the Republicans are going to 86 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 3: spend this to make it sound good like we're getting 87 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 3: a break, But at the end of the day, just 88 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 3: watch what prices are going to do it, grocery stores, 89 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 3: what cost of furniture, what cars are going to be doing, 90 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 3: what electronics made in China. So I think this is 91 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 3: going to be a big impact for a lot of people. 92 00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: And Zuru toys from New Zealand. Don't forget that. 93 00:03:59,680 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 2: Now. 94 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: Tell me about Donald Trump's special new button in the 95 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: Oval office. 96 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 3: This is my favorite Trump story because you when you 97 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 3: see a picture of Donald Trump in the office, now, 98 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 3: if you're looking at your television set, you're going to 99 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 3: have to look to his to the left, but it's 100 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 3: on his actually right hand side. 101 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 2: On the office. 102 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 3: He has reinstated this button on the desk that alerts 103 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 3: White House staff when he wants a fresh can of 104 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 3: diet coke, nothing else. It is a button strictly for that, 105 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 3: and he had it installed back in twenty seventeen. It 106 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 3: was obviously taken off when Joe Biden came in, but 107 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 3: before he was the inauguration happened. He got this personalized 108 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 3: bottle of his favorite drink directly from Coca. 109 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 2: Cola, and when he walked into the office for the 110 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 2: first time, they had the button installed. So anytime he does. 111 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 3: That, he will have a valet that will come in 112 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 3: with a can of coke and the guy goes through. 113 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 3: Nobody knows how many, but he's a huge fan of 114 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 3: coke or diet coke. I should say right now, but 115 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 3: of all the strange things to have installed, no. 116 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,720 Speaker 1: I want one too. In fact, Laura, I want one too. 117 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: I want a big butt button here. I don't want 118 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: diet coke because that's an a bomb nation. I want 119 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: a button. I push it and suddenly an express of 120 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: Machiato turns up on my desk. Is that cool? 121 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 2: It is cool? 122 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: We've done they are there today. 123 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 3: I can I can imagine what Laura is thinking and 124 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 3: looking at it right now. 125 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 1: I will tell you what an express of Makaiata is 126 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 1: a bit later on, and you will bring it to 127 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 1: me when I push the button.
