1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,440 Speaker 1: Do you want to be in American start floating on 2 00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:06,480 Speaker 1: this MLK day on seven hundred Wow, more than that, 3 00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,080 Speaker 1: about nine thirty five feels kind of hollow to me 4 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:10,360 Speaker 1: here in Cincinnati anyway. 5 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:12,080 Speaker 2: Maybe not the rest they came here, but here in Cinty. 6 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:16,160 Speaker 2: I'll explain why I'm momentarily first though TERRFF related stuff. 7 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,480 Speaker 2: Announcement just came out. Canada has cut tariffs on Chinese 8 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,920 Speaker 2: made electric vehicles, so kind of an end around there 9 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,079 Speaker 2: on the United States because the ongoing tariff war, and 10 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,639 Speaker 2: speaking of which, over the weekend, the President threatened tariffs 11 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 2: on eight NATO allies unless the deal has reached for 12 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 2: US to buy Greenland, which leaves a lot of US 13 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,840 Speaker 2: scratching our head. And also the United States Supreme Court 14 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 2: last week we're expected to they never tell you what 15 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 2: they're going to rule on when, but last week or 16 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 2: expecting a decision maybe on whether the Trump tariffs are legal. 17 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 2: According to the Ice Supreme Court, they have kicked the 18 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,599 Speaker 2: can down the least till next time. We'll find out. 19 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 2: It could be weeks away at this point, we're not sure. 20 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 2: But all this comes together as costs continue to just 21 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 2: be stubborn with inflation and everything else in tariff's a 22 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 2: part of that for sure. On that is Kyle Moran, 23 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 2: our friend from Young Voices, welcome back, How you been. 24 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 3: I'm good, Thank you for having me. 25 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, appreciate it. So the big issue here as we 26 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 2: debate tariffs and if they're effective or not, is that 27 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 2: the President invoked the Powers Act and designed for a 28 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 2: national security crisis like wars or terrorism or seizing assets 29 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 2: things like that, to impose trade tarffs on China. Is 30 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 2: this a misuse of emergency powers because that's what the 31 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 2: High Court is going to decide here. 32 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, it basically is guaranteed to be some sort of 33 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 3: abuse of overreach in terms of the emergency powers granted 34 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,479 Speaker 3: to him through that Act, because from day one when 35 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 3: he rolled these out, he was already exempting very specific 36 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 3: industries that are economically important because he knows the impact 37 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 3: that tariff would have on those would be detrimental to 38 00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 3: the United States. But critically this shows that it's not 39 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 3: based on national security. When he's exempting cowper, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, 40 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:11,119 Speaker 3: all these other types of materials from the tariffs, then 41 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,239 Speaker 3: what is it What is he even tariffing a lot 42 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 3: of it is a lot less important goods that we're importing, 43 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 3: So therefore it's not based on national security, which he 44 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 3: himself has sort of admitted very at various times. He 45 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 3: has gone on record as saying it's going to be 46 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 3: used to pay down the national debt, to do now, 47 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 3: to do these stimulus checks as a source of revenue 48 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 3: rather than as a national security concern. 49 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, and that is a concern too. It's just purely 50 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 2: on a revenue standpoint. And so far we've had some 51 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 2: indication that the conservative justices are even pushing back on this. 52 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 2: Amy Cony Barrett and Justice Chief Justice Rod John Roberts 53 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 2: said that the vehicle is in position of taxes on 54 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,519 Speaker 2: Americans and that has always been a core power of Congress. 55 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 2: Those early indication certainly don't indicate how they're going to vote, 56 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 2: because there's been time to I've thrown that out. They're 57 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 2: challenging it. But that if you're looking at the tea 58 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 2: lives here, it doesn't bode well for this. 59 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 3: No, it doesn't, because like I was, like I said, 60 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 3: so much of this has not even been like the 61 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 3: oppositions criticizing the administration, but the administration undermining its own position. 62 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 3: So it really does. It does get into some tricky 63 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 3: legal battles for the administration to keep this standing. But 64 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 3: I have, I do have to step back and think 65 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 3: these powers were passed to be very limited in times 66 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 3: of in terms of actual concerns to national security. We 67 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 3: have reached a point where Congress has ceded so much 68 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 3: power to the executive. The point of passing that Act 69 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 3: in nineteen seventy seven was never to institute broad sweeping 70 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 3: powers for the executives to just simply impose and pull 71 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 3: off and impose more care really nilly. That was not 72 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 3: what it was for. It's not what it is for now, 73 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 3: and the country is not designed to be run by 74 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 3: somebody who has essentially more and more unlimited power for 75 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 3: four years before election. 76 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 2: If the Supreme Court rules against these terroriffs, does that 77 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 2: then call in the re examination of the executive order 78 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 2: power the part of the presidency and executive I mean, 79 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 2: we saw Biden and the autopen do it with impunity, 80 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 2: and Trump said, well, here, hold my diet coke, watch 81 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 2: me make a bunch of executive orders. In Congress has 82 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 2: absolutely no They're feckless, right, I mean, you can shut 83 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 2: the government down for forty something days over god knows what. 84 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 2: They can't really pass any and come to conclusion other 85 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 2: than releasing the Epstein files because it covers their asses. 86 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 2: But does this change then how we how we maybe 87 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 2: that the Congress actually is forced to do their job. 88 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 3: I'm not optimistic on that. I it will limit the 89 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,280 Speaker 3: executive in terms of being able to do this on again, 90 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:08,239 Speaker 3: off again charade, which has reached incredible levels where it's 91 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 3: literally back in April and May, it was every day 92 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 3: you would open the news, new tariff and then one 93 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 3: of those tariffs was canceled, and then the next day 94 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 3: more tariff. So that type of stuff would be much 95 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 3: harder for future executives. But to your point about Biden 96 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 3: with the auto pen and all these things, Congress has 97 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 3: essentially feeded, like I said, so much of its own 98 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 3: power to the executive on a broad range of issues. 99 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 3: The Supreme Court doesn't have the ability to step in 100 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 3: and say Congress needs to do this. It can say 101 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 3: that the President doesn't have the ability himself to do it, 102 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 3: but it can't make Congress do its job. And certainly, 103 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 3: as we have seeing, Congress can't make Congress do its 104 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 3: own job. So we are in an unfortunate position there, 105 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 3: and I'm not gone through them that will see much 106 00:05:58,320 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 3: of an improvement. 107 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I'm hoping anyway, uh, Cale Moran that if 108 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 2: the if the Supreme Court rolls against him with tariffs, 109 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 2: which we'll get in the repercussions of that in a second, 110 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 2: but on a bigger scale, and that is limiting executive 111 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 2: office powers and executive branch powers. That there's a roadblock there, 112 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 2: and the other one is going to be Venezuela at 113 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 2: some point, I imagine you know that's going to come 114 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 2: to some sort of fruition here, but relative to the 115 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 2: ninety billion collected, that is another big problem there. The 116 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 2: of course the money's coming back in, but it would 117 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 2: there be a refund and how would that even work? 118 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 3: That is an excellent question because this is something on 119 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:40,279 Speaker 3: this scale that's never been attempted before. So if these 120 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 3: are stripped down, there would have to be refunds. But 121 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:49,239 Speaker 3: depending on when this actually happens, depending on if the 122 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 3: government has spent this money. Trump is already eyeing using 123 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 3: those funds for these two thousand dollars stimulus checks, which 124 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 3: wouldn't even be enough to cover those by the way, 125 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 3: but it would create a very unprecedented situation. We would 126 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 3: have to see exactly how this plays out, But to 127 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 3: answer your question, yes, they would have to be refunded well. 128 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 2: And the other element here is if we have a 129 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 2: thirty eight trillion dollar deficit, why are we handing out 130 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 2: two thousand dollars checks which seems like it was light 131 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 2: years ago and I was proposed, but again, nothing ever dies. 132 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 2: I think more than that though, the idea we're going 133 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 2: to spend seven hundred billion on buying greenland. We got 134 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 2: the money and the count for that one. 135 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 3: Exactly, which is part of the issue here. Again. We 136 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 3: saw the impact back under the Biden administration incredibly big 137 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 3: spending and money printing in twenty twenty one, which drove 138 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 3: inflation up to nine percent, and we are still feeling 139 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 3: the results of that. We're still feeling the impact of 140 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 3: that for almost five years on now. So when the 141 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 3: inflation goes up like that, it never comes down again. 142 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 3: The inflation rate at which is increase may come down, 143 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 3: but the prices that went up they're just there and 144 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 3: you're stuck with that. You will never see twenty nineteen 145 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 3: prices for a lot of goods again. And that's the 146 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 3: unfortunate reality of the money system that we have now, 147 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 3: where we just print more and more, and almost certainly 148 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 3: we would have to print a considerable amount of money 149 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 3: to make these two thousand dollars checks happen. And then 150 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 3: on top of that, Trump hates the current Federal Reserve 151 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 3: chairge your own Powell, who's not flallaced by any means, 152 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 3: but he wants to replace them with somebody who's going 153 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 3: to be even more dubbish and turn the money printers 154 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,680 Speaker 3: back on and just print print. 155 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 2: As someone who is I guess more libertarian than anything, 156 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 2: and I just dis trust government top to bottom of 157 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 2: my team, your team. Kind of nonsense. There's an hypocrisy 158 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 2: test here, right, So how many Republicans who absolutely celebrate 159 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 2: the tariffs and all this and the bombing of ships 160 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 2: off Venezuela would they be outrage of a Democratic president 161 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 2: of this sen I mean, look at this one. We 162 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 2: talk about the Affordable Care Act, which is they're right, 163 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 2: it's subsidy. You're taking taxpayer money to give other people 164 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 2: a break on their healthcare. Healthcare is to damn expensive. 165 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 2: Let's do something the lower the cost of healthcare, as 166 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 2: opposed to just giving aid to people and redistributing wealth. 167 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 2: It doesn't work. It's too expensive, it's not a four. 168 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 2: It doesn't make it affordable, it makes it less affordable. 169 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 2: Subsidy does using that same logic, And I'm right about that. 170 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 2: Republicans should be talking about what we're doing here with 171 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,719 Speaker 2: Trump and be equally outraged that now we're going to 172 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 2: take money that could go pay off the deficit and 173 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 2: we're going to give people subsidies. 174 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,559 Speaker 3: Yeah, and to your point, the healthcare situation is something 175 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,680 Speaker 3: the GOP has basically ignored for the last no course 176 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 3: a decade minimum, and at this point it's reaching a 177 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 3: breaking point where they just can't ignore it anymore. They 178 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 3: tried to appeal and replace obamac here in twenty seventeen 179 00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 3: twenty eighteen, it went down in pretty famous ways, and 180 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 3: the deal they wanted to pass is not a great 181 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 3: deal to begin with. But ever since then, they just 182 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 3: haven't tried much of anything. And the only people talking 183 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 3: about healthcare reform now are the progressive And that's a 184 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 3: very dangerous situation because when people when people see that 185 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 3: their health career costs are skyrocketing, which they are, uh 186 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 3: and the only people even talking about it are going 187 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 3: to be AOC and Bernie Sanders like that is how 188 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 3: you wind up with people like Zar Mombami is mayor, 189 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 3: even though he doesn't have direct control over health care. 190 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 3: People just hear these things from the left and resonate 191 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 3: with it, and not illegitimately either because they they they 192 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 3: cannot afford these crazy surge surges in these pranceses. So 193 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,079 Speaker 3: the got really needs to get going on healthcare. 194 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 2: The Democrats plan is, here's groupon we're going to get 195 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,320 Speaker 2: the lower cost on your healthcare. We're going to take 196 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 2: someone else's money and give it to you. Okay, that's 197 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 2: not a plan. That is just a band aid. 198 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 3: Is what that does? 199 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 2: It make things worse, not better in the long run. 200 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 2: Look what the subsidies done to the college industry. You know, 201 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,439 Speaker 2: college is out of control because the substet it's the 202 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 2: same thing. And then I look at the Republicans and 203 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 2: it's been fifteen years. They have no answer on this. 204 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 2: All I hear is well, eat better. Well, that's okay, 205 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 2: eat better, but don't take tail and all okay, great, 206 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 2: but I've got cancer now and I can't afford it. 207 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 2: I'm going to take the subsidy. That's that's what we're 208 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 2: faced with. 209 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,439 Speaker 3: I know, it's it's absolute madness. And the talking points 210 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 3: that they use for some of it is are legitimate. 211 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 3: So when they were talking about not wanting any illegal 212 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,679 Speaker 3: immigrants to be on government subside healthcare, this is a 213 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 3: legitimate concern. But that is not addressing the issue that 214 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 3: millions of American suits and are seeing their healthcare costs 215 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 3: go up more than double, sometimes triple over the last 216 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 3: several years. Myself, I have seen mine go up more 217 00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 3: than in doubles over the last four years. So this 218 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 3: is this is unsustainable, and nobody on the right is 219 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 3: even talking about it, let alone at proposing real plans 220 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 3: on it. Yeah. 221 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,319 Speaker 2: Yeah, and it was supposed to make America great again, 222 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 2: and I think healthcare is certainly a cornerstone of that, 223 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 2: and to some degree, people like Marjorie Taylor Greener are 224 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 2: accurate on that one too. Let's focus on this kind 225 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 2: of stuff. You've had fifteen years to come up with 226 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 2: a plan, and there's no plan at this point. It's 227 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 2: nothing but platitudes, is what I'm getting. He is a 228 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 2: comic go ahead. 229 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,719 Speaker 3: People on the right have been attacking her over this, 230 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,439 Speaker 3: and I'm thinking to myself, this is this is madness. 231 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 3: I find it incredible. I'm raising Marjorie Taylor Green of 232 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 3: all people, but she is absolutely right about this, and 233 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,599 Speaker 3: I respect her for her courage and standing up to 234 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 3: people who are otherwise just burying their heads in the 235 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 3: stands and suspending all is well, it's not, and I 236 00:12:58,080 --> 00:12:59,599 Speaker 3: respect the fact that she's addressing it. 237 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 2: He is a common ran political analyst and young voice, 238 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 2: a senior contributor, and talking about tariffs now before the 239 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 2: Supreme Court and they will decide whether not these are 240 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 2: illegal or not. If it's a no go. We got 241 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 2: to talk about refunding money to these countries. But you know, 242 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 2: at the same time, you look at getting China to 243 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 2: the table to kind of negotiate, look at some of 244 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 2: the deals done with other countries. Would it be tough 245 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 2: for the Supreme Court done do all that. 246 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 3: Well? In terms of executive the president negotiating with foreign countries, 247 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 3: he certainly has pretty broad powers there. But the issue 248 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 3: is that he is currently arguing that the tariffs are 249 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 3: for national security and in no small part using that 250 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 3: as leverage. But the issue is that he has also 251 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 3: made so many other statements as well as other people 252 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 3: in his administration making other statements that directly undermine that argument, 253 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 3: because on one day the case what we made that 254 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 3: we need tariff to protect American industry. The next day 255 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 3: it will be that tariffs I needed as a temporary 256 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 3: measure to get other countries to lower their tariffs on up. 257 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 3: And then the day after that it will be that 258 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 3: we need tariffs to generate revenues that we can pay 259 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 3: off our debt. Yeah. Yeah, So nobody, the administration's position 260 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 3: on this changes on the daily and it's going to 261 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 3: be a very challenging hill for the administration to climb, 262 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 3: given how all over the places has been. 263 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's almost like corporate America in a way. Is 264 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 2: that you know, we live quarter to quarter. We don't 265 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 2: care about tomorrow. We just care about the bottom line today, 266 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 2: and we might cut our nose off to spite our face, 267 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 2: but damn it, we got to do that right now. 268 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 2: And it's now that's permeated to politics to agree. If 269 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 2: you think about it, is if this is allowed, you 270 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 2: want and you know, Republicans will celebrate this big win 271 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 2: by the Supreme Court and the tariffs can stand. The 272 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 2: present can do that, Okay, great, but I want of 273 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 2: the same people will be yelling and angry about this 274 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 2: in the future next year or five years or eight whenever, 275 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 2: and at some point a Democrat will be back in 276 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 2: charge and maybe they go, hey, you know what, climate 277 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 2: change is an economic emergency. We're going to impost carbon 278 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 2: tariffs exactly. 279 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 3: And that's why this whole system was set up not 280 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 3: to be just as a way we're currently experiencing it, 281 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 3: because we are. If you have a country in which 282 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 3: you have radical changes of national policy every four years, 283 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 3: you're going to go through these wild whiplashes of moving 284 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 3: to the right for one administration moving to the west, 285 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 3: and the other administration. And this will happen to some 286 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 3: extent no matter what the system is, because the executive 287 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 3: does have some power. But it was never designed to 288 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 3: be this wild swing between Biden comes into office and 289 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 3: because he's president, he can do all of these far 290 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 3: left things and open the border and at least ten 291 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 3: million illegal immigrants, which nobody voted for. Nobody voted in 292 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 3: twenty twenty to open the ordering the ten million people 293 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 3: into the country. That was not part of the campaign. 294 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 3: It just happened with no input from the American electorate. 295 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 3: But despite widespread opposition to it. It just continued for 296 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 3: three and a half years before he even really tried 297 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 3: to address it. Then Trump comes in. Nobody voted. I 298 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 3: do not seriously believe that anyone really voted for such 299 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 3: high parents on other countries. People may, as he did 300 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 3: talk about it during the campaign to his credit on that, 301 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 3: but I really don't think that this is much of 302 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 3: a huge point that people ended up voting on. So 303 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 3: these massive swings are just detrimental to the stability of 304 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 3: our country. 305 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, there are checks and balances and we need them 306 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 2: and this will this definitely will decide. It is a 307 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 2: huge case before the court. He is a calmran with 308 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 2: the young voices. Thanks again, Kyle, great stuff, appreciate it. 309 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 3: Thank you very much for having me cool. 310 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, Canada just announcing they're going to cut tariffs on 311 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 2: Chinese electric vehicles, so it kind of cuts America out 312 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 2: a little bit. A little bit anyway, and Trump's as 313 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 2: we wait for the court to decide the thing. I 314 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 2: think we started this conversation back in November. If I'm 315 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 2: not mistaken, he threatened tariff's on eight NATO allies unless 316 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,440 Speaker 2: we get a deal over Greenland, and so it goes. 317 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 2: Got to get a news update down this a MLK 318 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 2: day back with that topic actually and why it means 319 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 2: a little less this year here in Cincinnati. Maybe a 320 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 2: lot less anyway, Explain next seven hundred ww
