1 00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:06,160 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 2 00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:09,920 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 3 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:17,280 Speaker 2: I'm strong and he. I'm strong and Getty. 4 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,320 Speaker 3: So after a political article reports that Trump told his 5 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,440 Speaker 3: inner circle and members of his cabinet that Musk will 6 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 3: be stepping back, saying quote, the President is pleased with 7 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,560 Speaker 3: Elon Musk, but the decision comes as the tech mogul 8 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 3: increasingly looks like a political liability. Well, the White House 9 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 3: wasted no time in responding, the Press secretary posting this quote. 10 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:45,480 Speaker 2: This scoop is garbage. 11 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,279 Speaker 3: Elon Musk and President Trump have both publicly stated that 12 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 3: Elon will depart from public service as a special government 13 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 3: employee when his incredible work at DOGE is complete, to 14 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 3: which must commented this quote. Yeah, fake news. 15 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 4: This is one of the times where the claim of 16 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 4: fake news is completely fake news. 17 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 2: It's fake news. 18 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 4: Do I think the behind the scenes Trump is thinking 19 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 4: a Elon's a little over His keys are doing me 20 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 4: more harm than good. 21 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:13,320 Speaker 2: I can believe that. 22 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 4: But the Elon is being pushed out or fired or whatever, 23 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 4: as they reported all day long yesterday on MSNBC. 24 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 2: Now it's one hundred and thirty day deal by law. 25 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 4: He's talked openly about the date that he's leaving, and 26 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 4: he's still planning on leaving on that day. 27 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 2: The end. 28 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 1: That's the end of the whole story. Well, and as 29 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: Trump said, he's got big companies to run. This was 30 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 1: not going to be forever. 31 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 4: But it was presented as you know, a rift and 32 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 4: a breakdown and Elon getting his punishment after the Supreme 33 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 4: Court justice in Wisconsin that he boosted lost and blah blahs. 34 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 4: If you enjoy that kind of soap opera crap, good 35 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 4: for you. Knock yourself out. Since we're talking about Elon, 36 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 4: here's AOC being asked if she still has her tesla, Tarson, do. 37 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 2: You still have your tesla? I was just wonder if 38 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 2: you still have your tesla? 39 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 5: Your security viasons on hot? 40 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 2: I'm not hot any what for for security reasons? I'm 41 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 2: a hobbit? Is that what she's said? 42 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: Yes, she disguises herself as a denizen of the shire 43 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: when she leaves the Capitol to go home at night. 44 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 4: I couldn't understand her, but it makes sense that you can't, 45 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 4: especially if you're AOC or like a lightning rod, you 46 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 4: can't go around telling people what kind. 47 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 2: Of car you have. 48 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's just silly, that's kind of funny question. 49 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: But uh so, okay, that's fine. Oh exactly. I admit 50 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: to a low level of chagrin because in our discussion 51 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 1: of tariffs in the previous hours of the program, I 52 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: we were missing a giant piece of information. In my defense, 53 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: as a guy who reads, you know, a huge percentage 54 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: of Wall Street Journal every day and then goes to 55 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: the New York Times and all sorts of other news 56 00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 1: sources to get the various perspectives and figure out what 57 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: our people are using. The key piece of information how 58 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,839 Speaker 1: these quote unquote reciprocal tariffs are being calculated. The Wall 59 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: Street Journal didn't have until it's like half an hour 60 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,079 Speaker 1: forty minutes before we brought it up, tipped off by 61 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: listeners that what are being called reciprocal tariffs are a 62 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: slightly complicated formula that they figure what teriff freight is 63 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: necessary to balance bilateral trade between the US and each 64 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 1: of our trading partners, which again is a weird and 65 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: artificial goal in my mind. You got some small poor country, 66 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: but every country factoring. 67 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 2: Practically every country's poor compared to US. Yeah, that's true. 68 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, we're going to buy more from them than we 69 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: sell to them, and that's fine. 70 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 2: But anyway, it's uh. 71 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: The point remains, though, that we need to restructure tariffs 72 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: and trades in a way trade that's more fundamentally fair 73 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: to American workers. Anyway, there are plenty to be said 74 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: in the days to come as this all shakes out. 75 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 4: We didn't get one, uh somebody complaining about our boring 76 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 4: teriff talking how you don't like it, and good for 77 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 4: you if you have no financial investment in the world 78 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 4: at all and don't care about this, because this is huge. 79 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 4: This is really huge. I mean, if it goes the 80 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 4: way the detractors say it's gonna go, this could be 81 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 4: like change your retirement sort of stuff. Oh yeah, So 82 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 4: I think it's plenty worth talking about. I am amazed 83 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 4: that one guy can set this off. 84 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 2: One guy. 85 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 4: Ran Paul tweeted about this and then spoke about it 86 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 4: last night on the floor of the Senate. He said, 87 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 4: I'm about to take the Senate floor to speak out 88 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 4: against tariffs and stand up for the principle of no 89 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 4: taxation without representation. You don't want to miss this one. 90 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 4: With just the idea of this is taxation on the 91 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 4: American people. Tariff's at tax. You're gonna be paying for it. 92 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 4: And one guy decided, I guess, you know, he was elected, 93 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 4: so you have representation. 94 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: But yeah, four Republicans in the Senate joined the Democrats 95 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: in passing a law that condemned this and said it 96 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: should be overturned or something. 97 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 2: I didn't see the specifics, but it was the Randy 98 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 2: Man and you're and Mitch McConnell. 99 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: Interestingly Man, and then you're two super moderate senator ladies 100 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: Murkowski and Susan Collins. 101 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 2: I think it was. Anyway, it'll never get through the House, 102 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 2: but it's interesting. 103 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,919 Speaker 4: I wanted to get this on because I thought it 104 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,039 Speaker 4: was kind of interesting if I can find it, Oh, 105 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 4: here it is just in terms of the who the 106 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 4: biggest economies are, and the United States is the biggest 107 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 4: economy in the world. 108 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 2: There for a while it looked like China was going 109 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 2: to pass us. 110 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 4: Then not so much, and now there's a decent chance 111 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 4: they never do because they've got so many things going 112 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 4: the wrong way, demographics, business, everything else. 113 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: But here are your top economies. You know, Sorry, just 114 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: a quick interjection. Thomas Friedman in The New York Times. 115 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 1: I think yesterday had another one of his China is 116 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: way better at everything columns, just he sees so in 117 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 1: love with them and they're innovation and how they're the 118 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 1: future clearly, and okay, all right, tommy boy. 119 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:11,239 Speaker 4: And the point has been made before that since China 120 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 4: has an India, if you've got four times the population 121 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 4: of the United States, your workers can be a quarter 122 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 4: as productive and you have as a big an economy. 123 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 4: I mean, that's just math of it, the advantage of 124 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 4: having a giant country. And so I came across this 125 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 4: in the Economist that India is about to overtake Japan 126 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 4: on the ranking of biggest economies. But some of these 127 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 4: on here are kind of surprising. United States number one, 128 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 4: China number two, then Japan and Germany not that bigger countries, 129 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 4: I mean, compared to China and India in the United States, 130 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 4: but their economies are really amazing, right. 131 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: I hate to hear them mentioned in the same sentence 132 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 1: together last time went poorly, I never forget. 133 00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 4: And then India, which if they ever get their act together, 134 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,359 Speaker 4: could you know, be a colossus. But they're they're going 135 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 4: to move up the list to number four. That's Great Britain. 136 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 4: All this talk about Old Europe, which I've engaged in. 137 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 4: You know, their economies are still big. You got Germany, 138 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 4: the United Kingdom, and France all in the top eight, 139 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 4: which is. 140 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: Why when the EU is looked at as a whole, 141 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: they rival the US. 142 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, then it's Brazil, which doesn't get enough attention. Italy. 143 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 4: Canada is the tenth largest economy in the world with 144 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 4: their little population forty million people, right, yeah, roughly the 145 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 4: same as California. Of course, if you break out California, 146 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 4: we're like the fifth biggest economy in the world, would 147 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 4: be bigger than most of these places we mentioned. Also, Russia, 148 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 4: for all their problems, is the eleventh biggest economy in 149 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 4: the world. Wow, freaking Mexico, which is a disaster of 150 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 4: a country. It's just called Mexico. Generally, it's the twelfth 151 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 4: biggest economy in the world. Yeah, even run by you know, 152 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 4: Narco state. Does that include the cartel's economic output? I 153 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 4: don't have any idea, but you know what that's that's 154 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 4: a super interesting question. I mean, because the cartels buy 155 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 4: things and sell things and pay wages that go into 156 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 4: people's pockets that are in turn you know used to 157 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 4: buy a car economy eat right, So I wonder how 158 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 4: that works in economic measurement. I won't break down the 159 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 4: numbers because I want to bore you to death, because 160 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 4: reading lists from the Atlas are not, you know, the 161 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 4: best radio, but the United States and China are so 162 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 4: much The drop off from one and two to everybody 163 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 4: else is a lot. But I was surprised that so 164 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 4: much of old Europe still cranks it out and is 165 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 4: in the top half dozen or so. And they're you know, 166 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 4: the countries that are quite angry about this new tariff deal? 167 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 2: Yep? 168 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: Why how this shakes out as a great mystery?
