1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 1: International correspondence with ends and eye insurance, peace of mind

2
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: for New Zealand business and did you go to the

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: site today? Are very good morning to you?

4
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 2: Good morning, Mike.

5
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 1: So Harvard not happy and not surprisingly Yeah.

6
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 2: President Trump has declared yet another battle, not only on

7
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,800
Speaker 2: tariffs and immigration, but this time it is a showdown

8
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 2: with this country's oldest and most successful university, that being

9
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 2: Harvard near Boston. I mean, who cares about university gigs

10
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 2: and freaks, right, Well, you might look at Harvard's record

11
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 2: on things like medicine, for instance, and a theater first

12
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,480
Speaker 2: used at Harvard. That was a good development. The small

13
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 2: pox vaccine was created at Harvard. The EKG for hard

14
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 2: health was first used at Harvard's Teaching Teaching Hospital. First

15
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 2: kidney transplant nineteen fifty two Harvard. First person to survive

16
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,200
Speaker 2: polio had their life saved at Harvard. The first MRI

17
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 2: was used at Mass General the Harvard Hospital nineteen seventy nine.

18
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 2: The pill, the oral contraceptive, was invented at Harvard, and

19
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 2: on and on and on. The university was started in sixteenth,

20
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 2: which was one hundred and fifty plus years before the

21
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 2: creation of the US government. Now Donald Trump wants to

22
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 2: run it. He's demanding control over hiring and admissions policies.

23
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 2: The university says no way. In a statement, they say,

24
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 2: no government should dictate to a private university what it

25
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 2: can teach, who it can hire or admit. So Trump

26
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 2: is reacting by freezing more than two billion US dollars

27
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 2: right now in federal grant money. Harvard is wealthy because

28
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 2: but the White House now is calling for an end

29
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,839
Speaker 2: to the tax exempt status for operations and research unless

30
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,559
Speaker 2: Trump gets to run just about everything.

31
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: Now El Salvador, that's back today, Wizl's head.

32
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 2: It is the Trump team is battling over the fate

33
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 2: of this Maryland father of three who is deported to

34
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 2: the supermax prison in El Salvador because of what the

35
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 2: White House admits was an administrative error, mistake or no.

36
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 2: They're now saying this man, a Brego Garcia, cannot be

37
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 2: returned to this country, even though the US Supreme Court

38
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 2: says the government here should illitate his return. Trump's team says, well,

39
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 2: it's not on American soil anymore, So they washing the

40
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 2: hands of the whole thing. A federal court very soon

41
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 2: today will consider that White House response. Christy Nome the

42
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 2: Homeland Security Advisors saying the people that Trump sends to

43
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 2: El Salvador should stay in prison there for the rest

44
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 2: of their lives. Democratic Leader in the House that Kim

45
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 2: Jeffrey says the Supreme Court and or the Federal District

46
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 2: Court actually needs to enforce its order. Well. The White

47
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 2: House claims that Garcia as a member of the MS

48
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 2: thirteen gang. Garcia denies it. Another court said there is

49
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 2: no evidence of that two hundred and thirty eight people

50
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 2: have been deported to the Supermac's prison in El Salvador

51
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 2: from this country. The place is perhaps the most notorious

52
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 2: prison on the planet. New York Times Today saying the

53
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 2: majority of these people have no criminal backgrounds at all,

54
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 2: according to the research they've been doing. As you know,

55
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 2: the White House, Salvador's president, who calls himself the world's

56
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 2: coolest dictator, Naib Bukeli, says it is preposterous quote unquote

57
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 2: to our him to send this man back to the

58
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 2: United States. And Trump stirred things even further when he

59
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 2: joked with Bikelly about wanting five more of these supermankes

60
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 2: prisons built in El Salvador in order to send there.

61
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 2: Not only would be immigrants, said Trump, but some quote

62
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 2: unquote bad American citizens as well, So exporting supposed convicts.

63
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 2: Where have we heard that before?

64
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: Exactly, you have a good, long week, Ken, We'll catch

65
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: up next week. Richard Arnold state. So, by the way,

66
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: a comprehensive survey out of CNBC, the Supply Chain survey,

67
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 1: this is the tariffs. Most companies say high costs will

68
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 1: keep them from moving manufacturing back to the state. So

69
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: all this is doing is confirming what everybody already knows.

70
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: And we talked to the Zuru people yesterday on the program.

71
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: Eighty one percent expect automation to be favored over workers.

72
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: Reassuring would double costs, the trade wars more likely to

73
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: kick off a new global search for low tariff regimes.

74
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: Seventy four percent in the survey said cost was the

75
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: top reason for saying they would not be reassuring production.

76
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: You can't go back to America and pay American wages

77
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: to make half the stuff they make in China or Vietnam.

78
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: Finding skilled labor was a major problem. For twenty one

79
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: percent of them. The price tag of building a new

80
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: domestic supply chain would at least be double current costs.

81
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: That's what eighteen percent of people said would likely to

82
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: be more than twice as expensive. That's forty seven percent

83
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: of people. Sixty one percent said it would be more

84
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 1: cost effective to relocate to a lower tarer of country,

85
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: and as well as the current administration's inability to provide

86
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: a consistent strategy. In other words, everything the Age day

87
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. They also have supply chain

88
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: concerned sixty one percent. They feel like the Trump administration

89
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 1: is bullying corporate America. So that's corporate America telling Trump

90
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: that what he's doing is insane. Ten to seven.

91
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,480
