1 00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:02,160 Speaker 1: The art of the deal. 2 00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:04,920 Speaker 2: That's the best way you can describe what is happening 3 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 2: right now is Donald Trump has announced tariffs that are 4 00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:12,200 Speaker 2: going to be paused for nations who aren't retaliating. What 5 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 2: happened to China. China's raid has been cranked up to 6 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:20,360 Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty five percent, clearly making a statement 7 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,360 Speaker 2: that we want to work with everyone but China, who 8 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 2: is retaliating against the US. And what happened on the 9 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 2: stock market after the announcement, it soared immediately. It is 10 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:35,280 Speaker 2: the world united against the Chinese Communist Party if you 11 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,319 Speaker 2: want to talk about it from a political aspect. Now, 12 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 2: when the announcement came through, this is what it sounded 13 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 2: like on Fox News. 14 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:44,600 Speaker 1: All right, Fox News Alert. 15 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,599 Speaker 3: Moving markets right now is a brand new truth social 16 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,879 Speaker 3: out from President Trump. The now is surging now at 17 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 3: fifteen hundred points on this President Trump has just put 18 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 3: out a true social saying based on the lack of 19 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 3: respect that China has shown to the world's markets. I 20 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 3: am hereby raising the tariff charge to China by the 21 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 3: US to one hundred and twenty five percent effective immediately. 22 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 3: At some point, hopefully in the near future, China will 23 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 3: realize that the days of ripping off the USA and 24 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 3: other countries is no longer sustainable or acceptable. Conversely, and 25 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 3: based on the fact that more than seventy five countries 26 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:26,040 Speaker 3: have called reps of the United States, including the Department's Commerce, Treasury, 27 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 3: and the USTR, to negotiate a solution to the subjects 28 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 3: being discussed relative to trade, trade barriers, tariffs, currency manipulation, 29 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 3: and non monetary terraffs, and that these countries have not, 30 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 3: at my strong suggestion, retaliated in any way, shape or 31 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 3: form against the US. And here's the big news, grabbing 32 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 3: the headlines. I've authorized a ninety day pause capital letters 33 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 3: and a substantially lowered reciprocal tariff during this period of 34 00:01:55,560 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 3: ten percent, also effective Immediately, he finishes with, thank you 35 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 3: for your attention on this matter. That's a new true 36 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 3: social john out from the President moments ago. The markets 37 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 3: obviously reacting to that, well. 38 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 4: That ought to put a lot of pressure on China, 39 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 4: I would think. And the EU, which had just authorized 40 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 4: petitive tariffs on the United States based on the reciprocal 41 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,679 Speaker 4: tariffs that the President announced against the EU. We'll see 42 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,799 Speaker 4: what Canada has to say as well, because they took 43 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 4: retaliatory steps, so you've got, I mean out of There 44 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 4: was that list in the New York Times the other day. 45 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 4: It was of twenty countries, and of those twenty countries, 46 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 4: three one group of countries the EU was thinking about retaliation. 47 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 4: China was retaliating, Canada was retaliating the other seventeen. 48 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: And I know that there's a lot more than just twenty. 49 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 4: But the other seventeen were either offering concessions or were 50 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 4: entering into negotiations. So the President is clearly reacting to 51 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 4: these countries that want to play ball and want to 52 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 4: talk about evening the playing field. But for China and 53 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 4: Canada and potentially the EU, and I know the EU 54 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 4: hasn't yet pulled the trigger, they've just authorized it, they're 55 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 4: going to find themselves at a very difficult place. Now. 56 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 4: All these other countries, and there could be seventy or 57 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 4: more of them, are going to have a ninety day 58 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 4: pause on reciprocal tariffs. In meantime, China's got these one 59 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 4: hundred and four percent tariffs against it, Canada is going 60 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 4: to have tariffs against it, and the EU, if it 61 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 4: goes ahead and pulls the trigger, will have punitive tariffs 62 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 4: against it as well. So I'm really interested to see 63 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,359 Speaker 4: what the EU does in the hours ahead. It may 64 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 4: pull back. 65 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 1: This was the initial reaction. As this was happening. 66 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 2: We were watching the Nasdaq skyrocket because so many people 67 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 2: were excited about what the President had just done. So 68 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 2: let me break this down for you another way. Donald 69 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 2: Trump is coming out and he's saying, if you were 70 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 2: a good partner, if you were not retaliating, you will 71 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 2: get a better deal. If you were first the table 72 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 2: like I promised, you will get a better deal. 73 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: And Wall streets surging. 74 00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 2: On Wednesday after the blowout, tenured Treasury auction and helped 75 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 2: calm fears of a financial crisis. Delivering a sharp rebuke 76 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 2: to doomsayers who predicted foreign investors with free American assets 77 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 2: in protest of Donald Trump's trade agenda. All of that 78 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 2: line from the media around the world and in this 79 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 2: country and from the Democratic Party, well, that's all crap. 80 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 2: Now President Trump announcing that pause in the tar hikes 81 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 2: on many of these countries. The Dow at one point 82 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 2: was up about six percent, SMP five hundred up seven 83 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 2: and a half percent, and the Nasdaq store soared up 84 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 2: eight point nine percent. Capping a dramatic rebound from a 85 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 2: week of steep losses triggered by spiking bond yields and 86 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 2: escalating global tariffs. Now, the President knew that this was 87 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 2: going to be a tough negotiation, and that's the reason 88 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 2: why he dug in the spark a remarkably strong thirty 89 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 2: nine billion dollar auction of ten year Treasury notes. The 90 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 2: bond sold it a yel of four point four to 91 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 2: three five percent, also lower than expected, with a significant 92 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 2: stop through, a sign that investors were eager to buy 93 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:15,039 Speaker 2: even below prevailing market rates. Foreign buyers, classified as indirect bidders, 94 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 2: scooped up a whopping eighty eight percent of their allocation, 95 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 2: far exceeding historical norms. Analysis characterized the auction as quote 96 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 2: extremely strong, very strong, and unprecedented, depending on who you 97 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 2: talk to. Now, at the same time this was all 98 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 2: going on, Donald Trump said on social media that he 99 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 2: would pause the tariff hikes for ninety days on countries 100 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,919 Speaker 2: that were not retaliating against US tariff's announced last week. 101 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 2: The ten percent baseline tariff, he said, will remain for days. 102 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:52,039 Speaker 2: Wall Street had been gripped by panic, especially from the 103 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 2: media and the left, that Trump's tariff offensive would spark 104 00:05:55,560 --> 00:06:00,479 Speaker 2: an American sellout or a sell America route, with foreign creditors, 105 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 2: especially China and Japan, dumping treasuries. Yields on the ten 106 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:10,239 Speaker 2: years surge more than sixty basis points over four days, 107 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 2: the biggest move since the financial crisis back in two 108 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 2: thousand and eight. Talk of a liquidity crunch and emergency 109 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 2: fed intervention. We're even dominating the doomsdayers and their headlines 110 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:28,600 Speaker 2: in propaganda. Well, the Treasury Secretary Scott descent urged calm, saying, quote, 111 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 2: there are some very large leverage players who are experiencing losses. 112 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 2: They are having to deleverage. I believe there's nothing systemic 113 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 2: about this. Let me tell you about Patriot Mobile real quick. 114 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 2: If you've got a cell phone and your cell phone 115 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 2: is not with Patriot Mobile, then the question I gotta 116 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 2: ask you is why why have you not made the switch?

Prices also rose sharply after the results, 152 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 2: and yields fell back from crisis levels. Stocks then followed suit, 153 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 2: surging across the board as investors reassessed the risk outlook now. 154 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 2: The turnaround came just one day after a disappointing three 155 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 2: year auction had amplified fears of collapsing demand. 156 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: Again that's how the media put it. 157 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 2: Analysts then started warning of a potential demand strike driven 158 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 2: by Trump's tariffs, high inflation. 159 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,439 Speaker 1: And rising deficits. 160 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 2: Some even speculated that the FED might have to intervene 161 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 2: to stabilize the markets with what they were trying to 162 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 2: describe as a quote bailout. Instead, investors showed up in 163 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 2: record number with record force, reaffirming confidence in US debt 164 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 2: and sending a message at America's capital markets remained the 165 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 2: most trusted in the world. Even amid a global trade realignment, 166 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:48,199 Speaker 2: people wanted their money in America. The bond market now 167 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 2: turns its attention to Thursday's thirty year auction. But after 168 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 2: what we're seeing right now, Wall Street's mood has clearly 169 00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 2: shifted from panic to almost overwhelming common confidence. Now China, 170 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 2: by the way, is striking back at Trump. They are saying, 171 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 2: let's go to tariff wars if you want to. 172 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 1: We're not backing down. 173 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,319 Speaker 2: This is also isolating China, which is part of the 174 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 2: big plan by Donald Trump. China strikes back at Trump 175 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 2: with immediate eighty four percent tariffs on US goods. They're 176 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 2: slamping that eighty four percent tariff on US goods from 177 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 2: Thursday on ramping the impost. Beijing hurried their move to 178 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,679 Speaker 2: just the latest debacle in their international trade war, sparked 179 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 2: by President Donald Trump. This is their words, and they said, 180 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 2: we had no choice but to stand up for China. Well, 181 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 2: that's not even going over well with a guy by 182 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 2: the name of Kevin O'Leary, you know him from Shark Tank, 183 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 2: is mister wonderful. 184 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: Here's what he said on CNN. 185 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,560 Speaker 5: One hundred and four percent tariffs in China are not enough. 186 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 5: I'm advocating four hundred percent. I do business in China. 187 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:58,559 Speaker 5: They don't play by the rules. They've been in the 188 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 5: whil for decades. They have never abided by any of 189 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 5: the rules they agreed to when they came in for decades. 190 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 5: They cheat, they steal, they steal ip I can't litigate 191 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 5: in their courts. They take product, technology, they steal it, 192 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 5: they manufacture it and sell it back. Here never has 193 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 5: an administrator. I want Chia on an airplane to Washington 194 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 5: to level the playing field. This is not about tariffs anymore. 195 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 5: Nobody has taken on China yet, not the Europeans, no administration. 196 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 1: For decades. 197 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 5: As someone who actually does business there, I've had enough. 198 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 5: I speak for millions of Americans who have ip that 199 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 5: have been stolen by the Chinese. I have nothing against 200 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 5: the Chinese people. They brought great literacy, art, and tech 201 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 5: to the world. The government cheats and steals, and finally 202 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 5: an administration. You may not like Trump, you may not 203 00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 5: like his style or his rhetoric. Finally an administration that 204 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 5: puts up and says enough four hundred percent tariffs. Tomorrow morning, 205 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 5: he'll tell you why she can only stay the supreme 206 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 5: leader if people are employed. If we wipe out any 207 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 5: business there. Because we are still thirty nine percent of 208 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,719 Speaker 5: all consumables on Earth and twenty five percent of the 209 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 5: world's GDP, America is the number one economy on Earth 210 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 5: with all the cards. We will not have that forever. 211 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 5: It's time to squeeze Chinese heads into the wall. 212 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: Now, well, hold on. 213 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 6: I hear you, But hold on. If we're talking about people, 214 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:40,079 Speaker 6: the average consumer, not necessarily the head honchos of businesses 215 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 6: all across the globe. Can they withstand the pressure of 216 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 6: that sort of tax on the good land? 217 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: There will be. 218 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 6: But yeah, but what's your timeline compared to You don't 219 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 6: know the average Americans timeline, what they can actually survive. 220 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 1: There's people right now. 221 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 5: Who can serve one hundred percent Tomorrow morning, cheese on 222 00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 5: an airplane to Washington to cut a deal. 223 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 2: You go go back to what O'Leary says here, and 224 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:06,079 Speaker 2: he says, number one, this is not about tariffs anymore. 225 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 2: Nobody has taken on China yet, not the Europeans, no 226 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 2: administration for decades, and someone who actually does business there, 227 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 2: I've had enough. 228 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 1: Like he's in business in China. 229 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,959 Speaker 2: O'Leary says, he said, then the government referring. 230 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: To China cheats and steals. 231 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,559 Speaker 2: And finally, you may not like Trump, you may not 232 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 2: like his style, you may not like his rhetoric. Finally, 233 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 2: you have a US administration that puts up and says enough. 234 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 2: He's also absolutely right about the bigger, broader play here 235 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 2: that Donald Trump is clearly trying to do with China. 236 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 1: He says, he can only stay the Supreme leader. 237 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 2: If people are employed, if we wiped out any business there, 238 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 2: because we are still thirty nine percent of all consumables 239 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 2: on Earth. America is the number one economy on Earth 240 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 2: with all the cards, we will not have that forever. 241 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 2: So as he said, it's time to squeeze Chinese heads 242 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 2: into the wall. That is exactly, by the way, what 243 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 2: Donald Trump understands as well. Now the left in the media, 244 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 2: they can't stand the fact that a business guy like 245 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 2: O'Leary is saying this because it basically takes their arguments 246 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 2: away that he's reckless, that he's going to destroy the economy, 247 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 2: that he's going to start World War three, that we're 248 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 2: going to get punished to the American people, we're going 249 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 2: to suffer right, all of these things. It takes it 250 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 2: all off the table. Now, I go back to why 251 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 2: Donald Trump is doing this. He sees China as a 252 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 2: national security threat. More than anything else, he sees China 253 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 2: as a national security threat. And so what he's trying 254 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 2: to do is he's trying to isolate China. He's trying 255 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 2: to make sure that China is on an island by itself, 256 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 2: and everyone else under understands that America is in fact. 257 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: On your side. 258 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 2: I also think you got to go back to another 259 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 2: point here, and I want to play this for you 260 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 2: because I think it's an important point. The White House 261 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 2: has said from the very beginning, we're gonna do deals 262 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 2: with good actors, and we're gonna hold those that refuse 263 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 2: to be good actors. 264 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 1: What are we gonna do. We're gonna hold them to account. 265 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 2: Listen to Secretary Bescent at the White House walking out 266 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 2: talking about all this, and when he walked out there, 267 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 2: the Dow was up twenty one hundred points or five 268 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 2: point six seven percent. Here is what Bissett said about 269 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 2: these seventy five countries. It's the Treasury secretary who want 270 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 2: to negotiate with America. 271 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 7: As I said, We've given ninety days, and the only 272 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 7: certainty we can provide is that the US is going 273 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 7: to negotiate in good faith, and we assume that our 274 00:15:55,520 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 7: allies will too. And so in terms of certainty, we 275 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 7: will see what China does. But what I am certain of, 276 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 7: what I'm certain of is that what China is doing 277 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 7: will affect their economy much more than a will ours, 278 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 7: because they have an export driven flood the world with 279 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 7: cheap export models. And the rest of the world now 280 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 7: understands because when we put up our tear pool, those 281 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 7: exports were already flowing to the rest of the G 282 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 7: seven and to the global ceuth And this is January 283 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 7: where we. 284 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 5: Was just silvery how much of this decision was driven 285 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 5: by the bond market creatoring overnight what case happening block China's. 286 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 1: Selling their bond. 287 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 7: I am nothing that says that, and we actually had 288 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 7: quite a good tenure auction today. And all this was again, 289 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 7: this was driven by the President's strategy. He and I 290 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 7: had a long talk on Sunday, and this was his 291 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 7: strategy all along, and that you know, you might even 292 00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 7: say that he go to China into a bad physician. 293 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 7: They responded, they have shown themselves to the world to 294 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,959 Speaker 7: be the bad actors, and we are willing to cooperate 295 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 7: with our allies and with our trading partners who did 296 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 7: not retaliate. It wasn't a hard message. Don't retaliate, things 297 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 7: will turn not well. 298 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,440 Speaker 1: It wasn't a hard message. 299 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 2: Don't retaliate right and things will end up well for you. 300 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 2: The countries that got that right are the ones that 301 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:33,400 Speaker 2: are happy right now because of this pause, and the 302 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 2: countries that got it wrong, China specifically, they're now being 303 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,959 Speaker 2: isolated and they're also being shown for what they actually 304 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 2: are now. 305 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,359 Speaker 1: The media does not want you to understand that. 306 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:49,200 Speaker 2: Okay, like the media does not want you to understand 307 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 2: just how big of the deal today is. And the 308 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 2: fact that Wall Street's announcing it this way are reacting, 309 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 2: I should say this way to the announcement is truly incredible. 310 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 2: I also love how many people have just gotten it wrong. 311 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,639 Speaker 2: John Bolton, who's an anti Trump guy, on CNN talking 312 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 2: about China, he said on the tariffs that this is 313 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 2: quote economic illiteracy, really economic illiteracy. 314 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 1: Well, then explain what just happened. 315 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 2: And this is the reason why I don't trust these 316 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 2: neo con warmongers like John Bolton. 317 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 8: China's embassy in Washington released a statement, it urges the 318 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 8: White House to quote immediately correct its wrongdoings end quote, 319 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 8: warning that China's response, if American tariffs stay in place, 320 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 8: will quote continue to the end. Perspectively, now from former 321 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 8: you and investor John Bolton, who served as National security 322 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 8: advisor in the first Trump administration, in Richard quest seen 323 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,439 Speaker 8: in Business Editor at Large and anchor, Quest means business. So, 324 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,680 Speaker 8: investor Bolton, I know you're not economists, but just from 325 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,199 Speaker 8: a strategic perspective, do you think China is going to 326 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 8: blink and try to cut a deal with the White House? 327 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,399 Speaker 9: It certainly doesn't look like it, But what Trump is 328 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 9: doing is a huge opportunity for China. 329 00:18:58,920 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 1: Worldwide. 330 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 9: Tariffs are a form of economic illiteracy. Trump has no 331 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,360 Speaker 9: idea really what he's talking about. He doesn't understand how 332 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 9: tariffs works. He has said as recently as a few 333 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 9: days ago, he'd used trade surpluses and deficits as like 334 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,920 Speaker 9: a profit and loss statement, which they certainly are not. 335 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 9: So what he's doing has put us in a very 336 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 9: vulnerable position, and probably in the worst position possible to 337 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 9: go after the real country problem in the international trading system, 338 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 9: which is China, instead of taking on the country that's 339 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,880 Speaker 9: stolen our intellectual property for decades, among other things, by 340 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 9: gathering our allies together, all of whom also suffer from 341 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 9: China's intellectual property theft and engaging in concerted action. We're 342 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 9: at war with our largest trading partners while we're about 343 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,399 Speaker 9: to go to war with China as well. It simply 344 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:57,239 Speaker 9: makes no sense. And it's just sad and depressing that 345 00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 9: more Republicans haven't stood up and said that this is illiteracy. 346 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: It's he illiteracy. I tell you, I gotta say. 347 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,919 Speaker 2: I love that these guys like John Bolton look like 348 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 2: such idiots right now, and we need to expose them 349 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 2: when they are because they hate Donald Trump so much 350 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 2: they can't understand even when he's winning, they should be 351 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 2: cheering for it. That's how much Trump derangement syndrome has 352 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,879 Speaker 2: set in on these guys like John Bolton. He's angry, 353 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,199 Speaker 2: he's not in this White House. He's angry. He's not 354 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 2: in the know. He's angry, he's not in the room. 355 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 2: And then he goes out on TV and says things 356 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 2: like this, when in fact, what he said is not 357 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 2: happening is literally exactly what just happened. We have allies now, 358 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 2: we have people talking, and we have an isolation of China. 359 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 2: So when these when these neo cons talk, laugh in 360 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,400 Speaker 2: their face, do. 361 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: Me a favor. 362 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,120 Speaker 2: Make sure you share this podcast with your family, your friends, 363 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 2: put it up on social media wherever you are on 364 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 2: social media, and I will see you back here tomorrow
