00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,640
Speaker 1: on the political scene with the Pennsylvania Democratic Governor jos

4
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: Shapiro and his family escaping an apparent artist and attack

5
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: on his home, the Governor's mansion. This was two in

6
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 1: the morning today. They were lucky to get out. It

7
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: appears there is a significant amount of damage to the building.

8
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 1: That's what officials are saying. Joshapiro is a Democrat who's

9
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: been talked about as a potential presidential hope for twenty

10
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: eight This attack has taken place just after the governor,

11
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: who is Jewish, had celebrated the first night of the

12
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: Jewish holiday of Passover. They were awakened by police and

13
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: by other first responders who were at their front door

14
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: trying to alert them and get them out. Shapiro says

15
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: he and his wife and family are eternally grateful to

16
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: those who came to their aid in this keeping them safe. Obviously,

17
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: there will be a lot more to all of this.

18
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: A reward has just been posted, but seems to be

19
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: in a close call and where are we at with

20
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: the terrorists? By the way, as though we can all

21
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: keep up. Well, yeah, that's the point, isn't it. Chaos continues,

22
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: and who knows what Wall Street would have made of

23
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: the latest Trump announcement if they were operating through the weekend.

24
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: That's when Trump announced the tariff would be lifted from

25
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: iPhones and computers and some other electronic bits and pieces,

26
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: so Apple no longer had to put their precious iPhones

27
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: onto commercial flights from jyder Off to India or whatever

28
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: to get around one hundred and forty five percent. It

29
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: was crazy, wasn't it. So did the president here blink

30
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 1: once again? Well, no, no, no, say his economic advisors.

31
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 1: The iPhones were going to be subject to the one

32
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: hundred and forty five percent US China tariff. But now

33
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 1: the high tech stuff is being put into a different

34
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: basket with new tariffs yet to be announced, says Commerce

35
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: Secretary Howard Ludnik.

36
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 2: They're exempt from the reciprocal tariffs, but they're included in

37
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 2: the semiconductor of tariffs which are coming and probably a

38
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 2: month or two so these are coming soon.

39
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: Soon to be a coming attraction. Yeah, month or two ahead.

40
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: The high tech stuff will be hit by their own tariff,

41
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: says Lutnik about this. So there's what general ten percent

42
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: tariff which remains after the temporary ninety day pause on

43
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: other specific tariffs except the characdistries tariff and the tariff

44
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,959
Speaker 1: on steel and the tariff on aluminium, which are still

45
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: in effect of twenty five percent for most places except

46
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: for China, where it's still one hundred and forty five percent.

47
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 1: But all this could change shirt any time. Got all that. Meantime,

48
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:26,519
Speaker 1: has China made any move for talks? Trump adviser Peter

49
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: Navarro was pressed on that.

50
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:33,399
Speaker 3: Hev opened up our invitation to them. Look, the president

51
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 3: has a really good relations talks right now. The President

52
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 3: has has a good, very good relationship with President Sheep.

53
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: Oh, they love each other, he said, I'm one of

54
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: the morning shows today. Even as China says they're never

55
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: going to be bullied. They will fight this to the

56
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: bitter end. While on the Democratic side of politics, Senator

57
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren on the Banking Committee is saying this of

58
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: how it's been playing out of late, there is no

59
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: tariff policy. It's just all off and corrupt. While the

60
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: president is facing claims that what he's doing is unconstitutional,

61
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: say that themse who note that the US Constitution's Article one,

62
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: section eight says it's the Congress that has the power

63
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: to impose duties and exercises, while Trump claims he is

64
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: acting under an emergency law by seizing foreign assets that

65
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: make no mention of tariffs. All the while the stock

66
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: market continues its die, eating into the assets of dozens

67
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: and dozens of people. So that is the ongoing concern

68
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: that many people have here, and we wait to see

69
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: what the stock market makes of that by the time

70
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: they reopen tomorrow. So that is a bit of the problem. However,

71
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: on the political front, we've had some appearances today. Berdie

72
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: Sanders was out on the hustings today. He made a

73
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: surprise appearance at Coachella Fest last night after addressing thirty

74
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: six thousand people today rally in Los Angeles yesterday. That

75
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: was his biggest so far, said Bernie at the music fest,

76
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: which is featuring the likes of Lady Gaga and Post

Speaker 1: Malone and Green Day.

78
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 2: Now we got a president of the United States.
