They've simply decided, well, I don't 145 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: care if Donald Trump wins. I don't care if Joe 146 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: Biden wins.

You see, I 148 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: control the paychecks, I control who comes in, who's going 149 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: to get that government contract. 150 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 2: I control what. 151 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: Money goes out, where that money goes. 152 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 2: Nobody will ever stop me. 153 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: No one has ever even taken an interest in stopping me. 154 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: And after decades and decades and decades of this with 155 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,239 Speaker 1: Democrats have done very sharply, I should point out, although 156 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: it's corrupt, is they've figured out a system that can 157 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: domestically and internationally take your money from you, take taxpayer money, 158 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: and hand it out to their friends, funding Democrat activism. 159 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: You and I've had this talk a million times on 160 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: the show that the Democrat activism you see in the streets, 161 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: the protesting, the rioting, but it doesn't matter whether it's 162 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: a rally on Capitol Hill or they're burning down foot Locker. 163 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 1: Ninety nine point nine percent of the communist activism you 164 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: see in the streets is funded and organized, not organic. 165 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 1: It's not people just mad about Saint George Floyd. It's funded, 166 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: it's organized. Now you know that because we've talked about 167 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: it many times on the show. But what you may 168 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 1: not know, and what might make you uncomfortable, is how 169 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: much of that communist activism on our streets and foreign 170 00:08:55,240 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 1: soil is organized and funded by you, by the taxpayer, 171 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:08,359 Speaker 1: because years of neglect from the voter has left Democrats 172 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 1: in charge of everything, handing out those envelopes of money 173 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 1: and deciding who gets that next contract. An ugly corrupt 174 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 1: criminal system that is finally getting exposed. And that's why 175 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 1: you didn't see a collective communists freak out when Donald 176 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: Trump was signing executive orders getting rid of DEI here, 177 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:32,079 Speaker 1: doing this to the drug cartels there. But he walks 178 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 1: into USAID and starts eliminating these positions. He starts investigating 179 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:43,359 Speaker 1: exactly what they've been doing with the money, and immediately 180 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: it's time. 181 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 2: To take it to the streets. You better recognize. 182 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: That's why they freaked out, because the actual power they have, 183 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: the power of hoovering up your money, that is what's 184 00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 1: being threatened. All that may have made you uncomfortable, but 185 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: I am right. If we fund, we fund our enemies, 186 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 1: we do done it forever. Who do you have a 187 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 1: cell phone with? You have AT and T, Verizon, T Mobile. 188 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 1: But this doesn't just apply to the government. We fund 189 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: our enemies. If you have AT and T, T Mobile, 190 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 1: you fund your enemy. I have pure talk. I don't 191 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:31,079 Speaker 1: do that. Pure Talk is the patriotic cell phone company. 192 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,679 Speaker 1: They're on the same five G network, so you're not 193 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 1: losing coverage or anything like that. They are patriotic. They 194 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 1: don't fund Black Lives Matter, they don't fund Planned parenthood. 195 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: They don't take your money and use it against you 196 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 1: and your values. Pure Talk, their CEO, fought for this 197 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: country in Vietnam. I have an amazing cell phone company 198 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:58,079 Speaker 1: with the same coverage you do. Puretalk dot com slash jessetv. 199 00:10:58,720 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 2: We'll be back. 200 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 12: The US will take over the Gaza Strip and we 201 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 12: will do a job with it too. We'll own it 202 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 12: and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded 203 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 12: bombs and other weapons on the site. Level the site 204 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 12: and get rid of the destroyed buildings. Level it out, 205 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 12: create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of 206 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 12: jobs and housing for the people of the area. Do 207 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 12: a real job, do something different. Just can't go back. 208 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 12: If you go back, it's going to end up the 209 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 12: same way it has for a hundred years. 210 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 2: Okay, what do we think about it. Let's talk to 211 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 2: Josh Hammer about this next. 212 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: Joining me now, Josh Hammer, host of the book America 213 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: on Tryal also wrote a book about this area, is 214 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: Real and Civilization. 215 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 2: Okay, Josh. 216 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: At this point in time, with the winning from the 217 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:05,359 Speaker 1: Trump administration, I am very hesitant to lob any criticisms 218 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 1: or even really concerns out there have been so happy 219 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,319 Speaker 1: with this two weeks, but I have concerns. 220 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 2: To put it mildly, the people. 221 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: Of Gaza are not dying for new job opportunities. 222 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:23,200 Speaker 2: They're just dying for Allah Jesse. That's very well put. 223 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:27,199 Speaker 13: Actually, look, this was not on anyone's Bingo card, I 224 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 13: think would be a polite way of saying it. It was 225 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 13: definitely not on my bing go card. I mean he 226 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 13: was he was standing there next to Benjamin Aintiniah, who 227 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 13: I'm reasonably certain that this was not on Benjamintania Who's 228 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,680 Speaker 13: Bingo card either. I mean, this is not a thing 229 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 13: that's been discussed. I mean, there's been a lot of 230 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,239 Speaker 13: conversations since October seven. There's been a lot of conversations 231 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 13: going back much further than October seven, as to what 232 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,439 Speaker 13: will have to happen in Gaza in the long term, 233 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 13: assuming correctly that Hamas cannot stay in power, but the 234 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 13: idea that the United States would come in and basically 235 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 13: build the Trump Hotel Communists or or the Trump resorts 236 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 13: in Rafa. You know, this was not something that anyone 237 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 13: was thinking about. So I don't know, he is the 238 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 13: honest answer. I don't know exactly what you think of 239 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 13: this until we hear more in the way of detail. 240 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 13: What I know for sure, Jesse, is that the United 241 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 13: States should definitely not go in there unless until the 242 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 13: actual Arabs there are out. So it seems to me 243 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 13: like what Donald Trump is saying here when it comes 244 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 13: to Gaza. This is all basically contingent on his related 245 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 13: proposal slash his mandate. It seems to Egypt and Jordan 246 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 13: that they take in the Arabs there in Gaza. So 247 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,559 Speaker 13: from that perspective, I think it actually could work out well. 248 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 13: I think the broader point here, Jesse, is that Donald 249 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 13: Trump is a distructor. He is someone who takes old 250 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 13: out mooted chivolets. He takes old orthodoxies that have become 251 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 13: stale to the extent that they were ever viable in 252 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 13: the first place, and he likes to shatter it. That's 253 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 13: how we got the Abraham Accords peace steal back in 254 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 13: twenty twenty. For decades and decades these two state solution cartel, 255 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 13: the foreign policy establishment from both sides of the isle 256 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 13: in Washington, DC said, oh, the only way that Israel's 257 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 13: ever going to get normal relations with any more Arab 258 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,680 Speaker 13: countries is to give the Palestinians a state, and Trump 259 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 13: and Nettunyahu tag team the first time around that basically 260 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 13: said screw that, we're actually going to go outside in 261 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 13: forget the Palaestinians for a second. Here, let's strengthen Israel. 262 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 13: Let's strengthen YOUUAE, Bahrain and so forth. Here we'll get 263 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 13: this anti Iran alliance. And then many of the Palestinians 264 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 13: will come begging for scraps with the table. So is 265 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 13: that kind of creative outside the box thinking that I 266 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 13: think is going on here? I would be lying if 267 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 13: I said to you that I see exactly where this 268 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 13: is going, because I don't, but I guess I will 269 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 13: say this. I mean, Trump is right. Insofar as Gaza 270 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 13: is twenty five miles of beautiful Mediterranean sea beachfront property, 271 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 13: it does have enormous potential. When Israel withdrew there in 272 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 13: two thousand and five, they said that the Arabs had 273 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 13: the potential to turn it into a Singapore on the Mediterranean. 274 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 13: That was the popular phrase at the time. We see 275 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 13: what they did with it. They've turned it into an 276 00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 13: Islamis terrorist bastionion obviously, But who have I to doubt 277 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 13: Donald Trump at this point there. I want to see 278 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 13: where this is going. I'm not sure how serious it is, 279 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 13: but I have decently high hopes. 280 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 2: I guess, yeah, I guess we shall see. All right, 281 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 2: we're moving on. 282 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: There's so much I have to tackle with you Iran. 283 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 1: Iran famously wants to kill Donald Trump, that wanted to 284 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 1: kill him for quite some time. Trump dropped this little 285 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 1: nugget to a reporter who he was just Iran and 286 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 1: their proxeys who threatened to retaliate against you and your 287 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 1: team by killing you guys for taking out so long. 288 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 4: Well, they haven't done that, and that would be a 289 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 4: terrible thing for them to do, not because of me. 290 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 4: If they did that, they would be obliterated. That would 291 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 4: be the end. I've left instructions. If they do it, 292 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 4: they get obliterated, there won't be anything left. 293 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 1: Josh, what does that mean? You know? 294 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 11: Jesse? 295 00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 13: Get again, I kind of throw my hands up and 296 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 13: I say, I'm not entirely sure what the guy has 297 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 13: exactly in mind here. It seems to me like he's 298 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 13: saying that if you succeed in taking me out, And 299 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 13: we know for a fact that Iran has been trying 300 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 13: for a long time to take out Donald Trump. They've 301 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 13: been trying to take a lot of people from his 302 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 13: first administration as well, in response to the assassination of 303 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 13: Kasaem Sulimani at the Baghdada Rock Airport in twenty twenty. 304 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 13: So it seems like he's saying that, if God forbid, 305 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 13: you are successful, I have put instructions in place to 306 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 13: my successor, which I guess would be jd vance to 307 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 13: go ahead and nuclear country to high hell. I mean, 308 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 13: it seems to me like that is actually what he 309 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 13: is saying there. Obviously, God willing this never happens. God willing, 310 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 13: the Iranian regime will not be successful in any of 311 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 13: its assassination attempts extra territorily, let alone against someone like 312 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 13: Donald Trump. There, So I hate that we even having 313 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 13: this conversation in the first place. There, But it seems 314 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 13: like Trump basically is not going to brook any nonsense 315 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 13: when it comes to the Irani regime, and certainly he 316 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 13: and Netignankhu are on the same page there, that's for sure. 317 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 2: Josh, where is Iran right now? 318 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 1: Meaning the mulahs, Well, how is their hold on power? 319 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,159 Speaker 1: I know, Joe Biden being in office kind of gave 320 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,159 Speaker 1: them a thread to hang on to Trump being in 321 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 1: office not so much. So where does Iran go from here? 322 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 11: Well, they're in a tough spot. 323 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 13: Look, I mean, Iran was obviously rooting for the Biden, 324 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 13: for the Biden regime, the Biden Harris regime to win 325 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,680 Speaker 13: this election. They were clearly rooting for the Democratic Party. 326 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 13: I mean, ever since Barack Obama came into power in 327 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 13: two thousand and eight, the Democratic Party has been obsessed 328 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 13: with realigning American Middle East interests towards Iran, towards Katar, 329 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 13: towards the Muslim Brotherhood, away from our traditional allies like Egypt, 330 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:42,160 Speaker 13: Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt and so forth. There and tragically, 331 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 13: in many ways, they've actually been successful, but they've not 332 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:45,719 Speaker 13: been wholly successful. 333 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 12: You know. 334 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,640 Speaker 13: I mentioned the Abraham Accords earlier. The Abraham Cords were 335 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 13: a major anti Iran alliance that came into being there. 336 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 13: I think at this point, the Irani regime is hurting 337 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 13: they've been having pretty bad inflation recently. 338 00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 14: There. 339 00:17:58,119 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 13: At this point, the best thing that the United States 340 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 13: can do is to put back at the place the 341 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 13: crippling sanctions that were part of the maximum pressure campaign 342 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 13: they called it the first time around. Donald Trump just 343 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 13: did that yesterday. He signed to Loss some of the 344 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 13: harshest sanctions that any president has put on a foreign 345 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,680 Speaker 13: country in recent memory. So more of that, please. I 346 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,479 Speaker 13: think that is probably as basically what we need to do. 347 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,360 Speaker 13: I certainly don't think any kind of bombs should start 348 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,879 Speaker 13: flying anytime, stooning or anything like that, but crippling sanctions 349 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 13: I think would be a nice start. Make that regime heard, 350 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 13: and God willing, the people will rise up and top 351 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 13: of them. 352 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 1: Josh Usaid has been all over the news for a 353 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:37,440 Speaker 1: few days, and wow, the Democrat reaction to it has 354 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 1: been quite revealing. 355 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 2: Here's a bit of it. 356 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 10: We talked about Trump wanting to be a dictator on 357 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:49,199 Speaker 10: day one, and here we are.

I realized some churches have pushed back. It's 500 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,360 Speaker 1: been the furthest thing from universal and it hadn't been 501 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:55,879 Speaker 1: that loud. 502 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:01,639 Speaker 6: No, you're right, and even those who consider themselves conservative Christians. Obviously, 503 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:06,479 Speaker 6: we expect that like Anglican Bishop whatever her name is, 504 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:11,159 Speaker 6: who you know, preached about illegal immigration and stuff to 505 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:15,680 Speaker 6: Trump advance, to be on the side of the gender nonsense. 506 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 6: But you know, pastors in Texas and Tennessee and Kentucky 507 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 6: who claimed to believe in the authority of Scripture only 508 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,639 Speaker 6: speak up about politics when they can lament, you know, 509 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 6: the death of George Floyd or join in on you know, 510 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:34,919 Speaker 6: anti deportation protests. Those people are the problem, the mushy middle, 511 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:39,639 Speaker 6: the cowardly evangelicals who allow progressive social media algorithms to 512 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 6: dictate their compassion and outrage, who are now speaking up 513 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:48,640 Speaker 6: so courageously against deportations, but had nothing to say when 514 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 6: the Abiden administration literally took away school lunches from poor 515 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 6: public schools because they weren't allowing boys into girls' bathrooms 516 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 6: for the rewrite of the time nine under the dividing 517 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 6: nine men. 518 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 9: Most Christians had nothing to say about that. It's because 519 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 9: they want to be liked. 520 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 6: It's because they, just like Adam and Eve, want to 521 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:14,639 Speaker 6: be like God. I mean, they want to have the 522 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 6: power to be the arbiter of right and wrong, and 523 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 6: they want to escape the consequences of sin. 524 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 9: All of that. 525 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 6: There's so many different reasons for it, but a lot 526 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 6: of it probably is just cowardice and wanting. 527 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 9: To be liked by the world. 528 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 1: Ali, I'm glad you brought up the charity portion of 529 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 1: the charity. I used that air fingers quote on that 530 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 1: the charity portion of open borders, because it's starting to 531 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:41,480 Speaker 1: get exposed as the Trump administration digs through these NGOs. 532 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 1: How many Christian slash Catholic charities are out there that 533 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,199 Speaker 1: are really just set up to violate the sovereignty and 534 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 1: laws of the United States of America. And it's really 535 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 1: making all of us look bad. To be honest with you, 536 00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,160 Speaker 1: I can't tell you how many emails I get from 537 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,440 Speaker 1: people who are just these freaking Catholics are screwing everything up. 538 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 2: It's it's really awful. 539 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,160 Speaker 1: How did the church get to a place where they're 540 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: doing this crap, Oh my goodness. 541 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,879 Speaker 6: Well, I do think there are so many different aspects 542 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 6: of it. Some of it is just like the love 543 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 6: of money, and we read that the love of money 544 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 6: is the root of all kinds of evil. And we 545 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:23,119 Speaker 6: see that the USAID is funding such a large portion 546 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 6: of organizations like World Relief, Catholic charities, even Jewish charities. 547 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 6: They are lining their pockets, they are getting paid to 548 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:35,159 Speaker 6: be a part of the trafficking process of illegal aliens 549 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,959 Speaker 6: and children even across the border. So part of it 550 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 6: is just plain old as time corruption. And then another 551 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 6: part of it is that toxic empathy which tells you 552 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 6: that in order to be a good person, you have 553 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 6: to be progressive, you have to be permissive, you have 554 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 6: to affirm sin, you have to validate lies, you have 555 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 6: to support destructive policies because it makes this particular purported 556 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 6: victim feel better. And so it's just another form of deception. 557 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 6: But that toxic empathy piece, I think, is how that deception. 558 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 9: Is manifesting itself in the church. 559 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:09,480 Speaker 11: Today. 560 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 1: Let's talk about RFK Junior, because word is surprisingly he's 561 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 1: going to get through, got through committee. 562 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 2: He's going to get. 563 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 1: Through And what does this mean for America's health. I 564 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 1: know my wife, if you get her wound up about this, 565 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 1: you better have about ten hours to set aside with 566 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 1: all the crap we have in our food and everything else. 567 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 1: As I'm eating a quarter pounder with cheese, what does 568 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 1: this mean for the rest of the country. 569 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,240 Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, as a pro lifer, I've had my 570 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 6: concerns about RFA. There are plenty of really important things 571 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 6: that we disagree on. He has been, at least in 572 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 6: this process, said that he is going to champion whatever 573 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 6: policies the Trump administration wants him to champion. 574 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 9: And that's a good thing. 575 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,960 Speaker 6: But when we're looking at accountability for doctors and transparency 576 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 6: for pharmaceutical companies, the FDA, as you said, what's in 577 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 6: our food, what's in our scenes, what's in our medications, 578 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 6: the direct to consumer advertisements from the pharmaceutical companies, all 579 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 6: of that is corrupt and has led to worse health 580 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 6: outcomes in the United States. And I think that he 581 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 6: is going to be extremely successful in holding these for 582 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 6: profit companies accountable. 583 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 9: And I think that's a good thing. 584 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 6: And I mean, we saw the danger of the FDA 585 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 6: and the CDC during COVID and God forbid there's another 586 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 6: so called pandemic that comes along, I would be very 587 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 6: confident with RFK at the helm. 588 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, we did so well during the last pandemic. Okay, 589 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 1: So you did some digging on your show about USAID, 590 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 1: and obviously that's been in the news hot and heavy 591 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 1: for about forty eight hours because communists are freaking out 592 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 1: about it. 593 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:51,960 Speaker 2: What did you find? 594 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 6: Yes, I found that we are funding with our tax 595 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:04,920 Speaker 6: dollars work place DEI programs in Serbia, that we are 596 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 6: also funding racial equity musicals in Ireland, that we have 597 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 6: set up trans services. 598 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:14,600 Speaker 9: Whatever that means in. 599 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 6: Colombia, and so all across the world we are making 600 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:22,120 Speaker 6: sure that people in poor countries bow down to progressive ideology. 601 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 6: I found something that I already know that you already 602 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 6: know that actually progressives love colonialism, they love imperialism. They 603 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:35,000 Speaker 6: love going into poor countries and telling them that they have. 604 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 9: To assimilate to American progressive culture. 605 00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 6: As long as colonialism and imperialism means that they get 606 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 6: to push sexual. 607 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 9: Degeneracy, they are good with it. 608 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,280 Speaker 6: And that's what they're doing in Uganda, that's what they're 609 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 6: doing in the Congo, that's what they're doing in South America. 610 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 6: If you do not abide by the principles of LGBTQ whatever, 611 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 6: then you get your money taken away. 612 00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:59,480 Speaker 9: That's what the USAID. 613 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 2: Has existed for Ali. 614 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 1: I don't think people really understand and accept how much 615 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 1: of the filthy communist activism, including all the LGBTQ Air 616 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 1: Force stuff, is funded by our taxpayer dollars. 617 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 2: They just they don't realize. 618 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,760 Speaker 1: They don't want to talk about how long Democrats have 619 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:21,040 Speaker 1: cemented this system in place where you and me get 620 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:22,080 Speaker 1: to fund all that scrap. 621 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 6: No, I don't think they know, and honestly, I did 622 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:28,840 Speaker 6: not know the extent of it. 623 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 9: And the USAID. They're not just sending our money to 624 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:34,640 Speaker 9: these countries to do these horrible things, But. 625 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 6: I mean, our money is also being laundered through these 626 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 6: firms in DC that say that they represent the humanitarian 627 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,320 Speaker 6: needs of a place like Haiti. But our tax dollars 628 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 6: are mostly staying in those. 629 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:48,959 Speaker 9: Firms and organizations. They're not even going to Haiti. 630 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:52,360 Speaker 6: And those firms and organizations are all arms of the 631 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 6: Democrat Party, and so are tax dollars. In a variety 632 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 6: of ways, we're actually funding the campaigns of the people 633 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:02,920 Speaker 6: who hate us and are working against US and American interests, 634 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,320 Speaker 6: and I hadn't really thought about the extent of that. 635 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 6: And still I started digging in to this story. And 636 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 6: I know a lot of people like you have been 637 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 6: talking about that for a long time. But to most Americans, 638 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 6: like this is all very revelatory. 639 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:22,000 Speaker 1: ALI appreciate you. Come back soon. Oh, we have so 640 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 1: much more. 641 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 2: We want to talk about some tariffs. Let's do that next. 642 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 1: Okay, so let's talk about tariffs, shall we. In fact, 643 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 1: let's talk about the economy in general. Donald Trump is 644 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 1: a very different Republican than than the type we've had. 645 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,920 Speaker 1: Maybe he's your type, maybe he's not. I'm talking about economically, 646 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,240 Speaker 1: but he's much more of a Teddy Roosevelt type. He's 647 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,920 Speaker 1: not something new. We've never seen this before. Oh, please, 648 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,280 Speaker 1: parties change all the time. Donald Trump is very much 649 00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:03,120 Speaker 1: a Teddy Roosevelt Republican in that he believes that tariffs 650 00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:08,480 Speaker 1: are a necessary tool to protect America and American workers. 651 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,520 Speaker 1: We just saw what happened recently with Mexico and Canada. 652 00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:12,080 Speaker 2: Joining me. 653 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,399 Speaker 1: Now, somebody who knows a lot more about this than 654 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:18,920 Speaker 1: I do. John Carney, Breitbart News Finance and economics editor 655 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 1: John I might as well just hand you the show 656 00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,600 Speaker 1: for about the next hour and let you dance with 657 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:27,040 Speaker 1: glee over the tariff situation with Mexico and Canada. 658 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:28,200 Speaker 2: Tell us what happened. 659 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 11: Yeah, so Donald Trump had has a much. 660 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:36,480 Speaker 15: Broader view of tariffs than we've seen from the Republican 661 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 15: Party for quite a while. As you said, this is 662 00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:44,440 Speaker 15: historically the Republican Party's position. It was more or less 663 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:48,520 Speaker 15: founded as a tariff party. Lincoln was a big believer 664 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:52,640 Speaker 15: in tariffs, but so was William McKinley, who is somebody 665 00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,600 Speaker 15: who Donald Trump brings up. 666 00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:55,480 Speaker 11: All the time. 667 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,719 Speaker 15: He basically set the stage for Republican dominance of a 668 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:04,840 Speaker 15: ma American politics for the next forty years. What happened 669 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 15: most recently was Donald Trump said to Mexico and Canada 670 00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:11,640 Speaker 15: that we need help on the border. We can't do 671 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,360 Speaker 15: it alone. We need our neighbors to the south and 672 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,760 Speaker 15: the north to help us. Help us with preventing illegal 673 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:21,600 Speaker 15: drugs from coming over, help us from preventing illegal aliens 674 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:24,359 Speaker 15: from coming over. And what he said was, look, if 675 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,839 Speaker 15: you guys get your act together, help us out, we 676 00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:31,239 Speaker 15: will not tear aff you. If you won't do that, 677 00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:34,640 Speaker 15: you're going to face a really high tariff twenty five percent, 678 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:38,480 Speaker 15: and it'll climb from there if you can't bring yourself 679 00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:42,799 Speaker 15: around to cooperating with us on boarder security. Now, a 680 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,239 Speaker 15: lot of people really hoped a lot of people on 681 00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,520 Speaker 15: the left, even some people on the right, really hoped 682 00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:52,840 Speaker 15: that these countries would somehow resist this, that they would 683 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,160 Speaker 15: say to Donald Trump, no, we're not. 684 00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:55,680 Speaker 11: Going to do it. 685 00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:59,120 Speaker 15: We're going to, you know, take your tariff and we'll 686 00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,840 Speaker 15: tear if you back. That's not what happened. What happened 687 00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:07,120 Speaker 15: was Donald Trump said, well, we're going to we're gonna 688 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:08,920 Speaker 15: terriff you, and they said, no, don't do that. 689 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:09,759 Speaker 2: We'll give you. 690 00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,360 Speaker 11: Help on the border. We're sending troops to the border. 691 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:16,040 Speaker 15: Mexico called first, said we'll send ten thousand troops to 692 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:19,799 Speaker 15: the border, will help you out. Then Canada called up 693 00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,759 Speaker 15: and said us too, we'll send ten thousand troops to 694 00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:26,280 Speaker 15: the border. We will help you on the border. Now, 695 00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:29,840 Speaker 15: Donald Trump didn't say that this is good enough. He said, 696 00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:33,600 Speaker 15: we'll pause the tariffs for thirty days. See what you 697 00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:37,080 Speaker 15: guys do, See what kind of help you're really providing 698 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,960 Speaker 15: if you just, you know, if you send troops there 699 00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:40,319 Speaker 15: and they. 700 00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 11: Don't do anything. 701 00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:45,520 Speaker 15: If you don't actually stop Fentanel from coming in, if 702 00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:46,920 Speaker 15: you don't really help. 703 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:48,360 Speaker 11: Us, the tariffs will come back. 704 00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,600 Speaker 15: So the threat didn't go away, but he did say 705 00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,919 Speaker 15: we'll see whether you're willing to cooperate, and I think 706 00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:59,160 Speaker 15: they will be because, frankly, drug tru smuggling and human 707 00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:03,200 Speaker 15: trafficking is good for Mexico, it's not good for Canada. 708 00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:06,000 Speaker 15: Neither of them have an interest in preserving what was 709 00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,279 Speaker 15: happening under the Biden administration. 710 00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:10,960 Speaker 11: So I think we're actually probably. 711 00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:14,240 Speaker 15: Going to escape this with very little tariffs on either 712 00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:18,960 Speaker 15: Mexico or Canada, at least for the time being, because 713 00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,600 Speaker 15: it's in their interest to cooperate with us on this. 714 00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:27,200 Speaker 1: Okay, let's set the immigration thing aside because this begs 715 00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:30,120 Speaker 1: the question, John, and maybe you have some insight here. 716 00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,680 Speaker 1: As you pointed out, he didn't really stop them. He 717 00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:34,719 Speaker 1: paused them for a month. Well, well, we'll pause them 718 00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:36,840 Speaker 1: for a month and see if you're on your best behavior. 719 00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:41,440 Speaker 1: The question is, as a lover of McKinley and Roosevelt 720 00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:44,280 Speaker 1: as Trump is, as you pointed out, does he want 721 00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:45,800 Speaker 1: to tariff them anyway? 722 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,920 Speaker 2: Meaning is this coming? Is he going to find or 723 00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:49,560 Speaker 2: is it going. 724 00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:51,400 Speaker 1: To be a month from now and he's going to say, Mexico, 725 00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:54,719 Speaker 1: you're a bunch of dirty liars. Tariffs are coming your way. 726 00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,600 Speaker 1: Does he want to tariff it? If so, why would 727 00:37:57,640 --> 00:37:58,680 Speaker 1: he so? 728 00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,120 Speaker 11: I don't think he actually does. On a tariff Mexico 729 00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:02,760 Speaker 11: and Canada. 730 00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:06,080 Speaker 15: Donald Trump would actually love to have Mexico be a 731 00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,600 Speaker 15: prosperous nation that is. 732 00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:10,080 Speaker 11: A good neighbor to the US. 733 00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:14,000 Speaker 15: Mexican prosperity will actually benefit the US because we'll have 734 00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:16,920 Speaker 15: fewer people wanting to come into the US from our 735 00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:20,840 Speaker 15: southern border. Canada's same thing. He wants Canada be prosperous. 736 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,480 Speaker 15: I mean, he wants them to be the fifty first state. 737 00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:27,279 Speaker 15: He doesn't want them to, you know, suffer economically. I 738 00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:30,080 Speaker 15: think what he's really doing with the message to Canada 739 00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:33,640 Speaker 15: and to. 740 00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:36,080 Speaker 11: To Mexico is sending the world a message. 741 00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:39,880 Speaker 15: Which is that the time in which they were able 742 00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:45,239 Speaker 15: to take advantage of unfair trade practices is over and 743 00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,560 Speaker 15: that they are going to have to make sure that 744 00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,760 Speaker 15: they are complying with US demands on a whole host 745 00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,719 Speaker 15: of issues or they will face terrorists. A lot of this, 746 00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:58,360 Speaker 15: I think, frankly is aimed at China. China is the 747 00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:04,480 Speaker 15: place that is actually the major threat economically to US manufacturing, 748 00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:08,120 Speaker 15: to the US economic security. So I think what we're 749 00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:12,560 Speaker 15: seeing here is a demonstration of the power of tariffs, 750 00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:16,799 Speaker 15: a gathering up of our forces, in fact, you know, 751 00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:22,799 Speaker 15: saying everybody, let's get together and cooperate economically so that 752 00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:26,240 Speaker 15: we could stop the real monster on the world stage, 753 00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:27,040 Speaker 15: which is China. 754 00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,920 Speaker 1: Okay, So, John, I want to pause for a moment 755 00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:34,000 Speaker 1: on all this because I don't want to talk past 756 00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:35,000 Speaker 1: everyone to talk. 757 00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:36,360 Speaker 2: Over people's heads. 758 00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:40,680 Speaker 1: What are these as it pertains to China, Mexico, Canada, 759 00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:44,640 Speaker 1: what are these unfair trade practices you're talking about? We 760 00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:47,239 Speaker 1: just assume everybody knows, but most people don't. With this 761 00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,480 Speaker 1: macroeconomic talk, what are they? 762 00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:50,879 Speaker 2: What's unfair? Right? 763 00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,520 Speaker 15: Well, so the main one of the main things China 764 00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:57,480 Speaker 15: does to the rest of the world is they promise 765 00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:58,920 Speaker 15: a huge market. 766 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:00,880 Speaker 11: Remember China is, you know, one. 767 00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:04,640 Speaker 15: Of the most populous countries in the entire world, and 768 00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,640 Speaker 15: they say, if you want to sell stuff to Chinese people, 769 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,560 Speaker 15: you have to do your manufacturing here. And they say, 770 00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:14,080 Speaker 15: if you do your manufacturing elsewhere, we will put up 771 00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:17,879 Speaker 15: both tariff barriers and non tariff barriers to keep you 772 00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:21,799 Speaker 15: from being able to sell your stuff in China. So 773 00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:25,080 Speaker 15: what does that mean, Well, if the US doesn't say 774 00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:29,560 Speaker 15: the same thing, then manufacturing gets moved to China, because 775 00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:29,879 Speaker 15: you have. 776 00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:31,959 Speaker 11: One person that says, yeah, you can sell us. 777 00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:36,319 Speaker 15: Stuff from China, and China says, well, you can't sell 778 00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:39,200 Speaker 15: us stuff from abroad, So then manufacturing moves to China. 779 00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:43,200 Speaker 15: That is the core of the unfair trade practices that 780 00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:48,360 Speaker 15: China deploys and has deployed for twenty five years now, 781 00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:53,160 Speaker 15: ever since they came into the WTO to move manufacturing 782 00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:55,600 Speaker 15: from all over the world into China. 783 00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,160 Speaker 11: Donald Trump thinks that this should end. 784 00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:03,279 Speaker 15: He's right, and he is going to, i think, very 785 00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:08,000 Speaker 15: quickly move to try to stop this from happening, to 786 00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,600 Speaker 15: move manufacturing out of China. 787 00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:12,520 Speaker 11: That doesn't mean it all comes to the US. By 788 00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:14,520 Speaker 11: the way, I think Donald Trump. 789 00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:18,280 Speaker 15: Would be very happy to see a diversity of manufacturing. 790 00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:21,640 Speaker 15: We do want manufacturing here in the US, that's true, 791 00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,759 Speaker 15: but we don't. What we really want is not to 792 00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:30,759 Speaker 15: be dependent on one country run by communist maniacs who 793 00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:34,920 Speaker 15: don't like the US way of life. We can't allow 794 00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:39,080 Speaker 15: that our country and our economy to be dependent on 795 00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:44,600 Speaker 15: the good will of Jijingping and his communist rogue regime. 796 00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:48,560 Speaker 11: So we're going to say no more, no more of this. 797 00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:50,960 Speaker 15: We're going to move stuff out of China, some of 798 00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,520 Speaker 15: it into the US, but frankly some of it into 799 00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:59,080 Speaker 15: allied countries. If you know, manufacturing moves out of China 800 00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:01,680 Speaker 15: and moves to you elsewhere in the world, whether it's 801 00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:08,680 Speaker 15: India or Vietnam, that's better than it just staying in China. 802 00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:13,520 Speaker 1: John, China, unlike Canada and Mexico, did not back off. 803 00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:16,920 Speaker 1: They were given a ten percent tariff threat from Trump 804 00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,359 Speaker 1: and they domb their nose right back at US. So 805 00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:24,200 Speaker 1: going forward here, people who are already squeezed by inflation, 806 00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,400 Speaker 1: that is, watching their buying power disappear. 807 00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:28,120 Speaker 2: People are apprehensive. 808 00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:30,319 Speaker 1: I should say, what are we looking at with the 809 00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,000 Speaker 1: potential trade war here? 810 00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:35,440 Speaker 11: So I think the tariffs will go much higher with China. 811 00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:38,239 Speaker 15: What what I began by saying was what we were 812 00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:40,759 Speaker 15: asking from Canada and Mexico is easy for them to 813 00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:44,600 Speaker 15: give right help us on the border, easy in their interest. 814 00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:47,280 Speaker 15: What we're what we are going to do to China 815 00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:49,600 Speaker 15: is not easy for China to accept. 816 00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:54,040 Speaker 11: Is not in their interest. We are actually saying we. 817 00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:58,880 Speaker 15: Don't like your economic plan, we don't like your economic system, 818 00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:02,360 Speaker 15: and frankly, I don't think they are going to change. 819 00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:04,600 Speaker 15: I think the way this ends up in the end 820 00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:08,680 Speaker 15: is a separation that we are no longer going that 821 00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:13,000 Speaker 15: countries of the free world will no longer be doing 822 00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:15,880 Speaker 15: business with China ten years from now. I think it 823 00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:18,319 Speaker 15: will take a while, but we are going to move 824 00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:21,680 Speaker 15: just like we did to the Soviet Union. We were 825 00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:23,840 Speaker 15: not you know, we did not depend on the Soviet 826 00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:28,800 Speaker 15: Union for anything. We actually had a pretty severe economic 827 00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:33,759 Speaker 15: embargo on doing stuff with Russia the Soviet Union. I 828 00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:35,920 Speaker 15: think that's where this ends up with China, that we 829 00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:40,360 Speaker 15: are going to end up.
