1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,560 Speaker 1: Welcome in Wednesday edition Clay Travis Buck Sexton show. This 2 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 1: one could be Buck becomes a dad today. He is 3 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:15,200 Speaker 1: here with us on potential birthday. We'll see, could be tomorrow. 4 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:19,240 Speaker 1: Do you have a faith Obviously the labor process plays 5 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:24,239 Speaker 1: in here, but do you have a preference April ninth, 6 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 1: April tenth to carry? Is there any sort of cosmological 7 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 1: connection here in any way? 8 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 2: I have no idea. I'm not like that on this. 9 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 2: I barely remember my own birthday, so I'm not the. 10 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 3: Guy to ask about birthday stuff. But yeah, anything in 11 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 3: April sounds nice. So this is a big day all around. 12 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,239 Speaker 3: We are continuing the trade wars since we now are 13 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 3: CNBC and Fox Business all rolled into one stock market 14 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 3: flat as we begin the show today, basically unmoved by 15 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 3: and large across the the financial landscape. The S and 16 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 3: P five hundred up a tiny amount as I speak 17 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 3: to you, the Dow down a tiny amount. 18 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 2: Not much movement going on there. 19 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,119 Speaker 1: There is, however, a lot of movement going on in 20 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 1: what essentially is boiling down to the United States versus China. 21 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: I would expect Buck, and I'm curious if you co 22 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 1: sign on this that countries like Japan and South Korea 23 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: and Australia and England and even much of Europe are 24 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: going to get resolved the new trade deals relatively quickly 25 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: in the grand scheme of things, that is, over the 26 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: next few weeks. And I think those will be beneficial 27 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,039 Speaker 1: to the United States. I don't think they'll be transformative. 28 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: The real battle here, as we stare down what's coming 29 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: is the United States versus China, and how does this 30 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: situation resolve itself and how long does it take to 31 00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: resolve itself. As we elevated our overall tariffs on China 32 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: to over one hundred percent, China has responded by increasing 33 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: the tariffs on the United States I believe roughly to 34 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: eighty percent. Now, given the fact that China has much 35 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: more of an export based economy, particularly in relationship to 36 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: the United States, than the United States does in relationship 37 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 1: to China, the pain in general should be felt on 38 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: China more than it's felt on the United States. That's 39 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: the negotiating leverage that Trump is that Trump is banking on. 40 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: If there are brilliant people out there who want to 41 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 1: disagree with that, you're welcome to call in eight hundred 42 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: two A two two eight A two. But China is 43 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: to a large extent and export focused economy, and they 44 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: have built a huge trade surplus against the United States. 45 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 1: Now there are certainly complicating factors in that. I believe 46 00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 1: China has something like five trillion dollars in United States bonds, 47 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 1: which is it's probably trump card on some level, pardon 48 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: the pun from them. What would happen if they start 49 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: to liquidate a substantial amount of their treasury some suggesting 50 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: that's already potentially occurring, and that might be what's impacting 51 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: the bond market in general. Again, these are high level 52 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: discussions of exactly what is going to be done, but 53 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: so far China and the United States staring at each 54 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: other not blinking. Would you co sign on most of 55 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: that analysis? Do you think I'm missing anything from your perspective, Buck. 56 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 3: No, I think that this is ultimately actually about a 57 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 3: China trade wark. I mean, that's really what the which 58 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 3: if you think about it in that context. It also 59 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 3: makes a lot of sense when you look back to 60 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 3: the first Trump term, and this I think would have 61 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 3: been the phase that he entered in twenty twenty had 62 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 3: things gone differently. I think this was always in his mind. 63 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 3: The first phase was just waking people up to what 64 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 3: China was doing, which is truly the greatest theft over decades, 65 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 3: not just of wealth but of intellectual property, which obviously 66 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 3: is wealth in the modern economy, and all kinds of 67 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 3: bad faith efforts and undermining a lot of US hegemony 68 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 3: wherever they can. So Trump has said enough is enough 69 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 3: as it pertains to China. I do think we'll get 70 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,839 Speaker 3: deals with the other countries in place. And you know 71 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 3: Apollo Global Management's CEO for those who don't know Apollo 72 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 3: Global Management is it's a big time finance outfit. I 73 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 3: think they're private equity guys. So you know, they buy 74 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 3: huge companies, they turn them around, they sell them stuff 75 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 3: like that. But here is the CEO of that company, 76 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 3: who is I think, saying something again. This is somebody 77 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 3: who manages billions and billions of dollars and has to 78 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 3: be right or else he loses his job, and he's 79 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 3: coming out and saying we need a reset. 80 00:04:58,120 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 2: This is cut two. 81 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 4: US is the second freest trading market in the world 82 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,479 Speaker 4: financially after Japan, and is the freest trading market in 83 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 4: the world considering non tariff barriers. Why is that written 84 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 4: in stone. Why shouldn't we be the tenth or the twentieth. 85 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 4: The policies that have been in place since the end 86 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 4: of World War Two are not fit for today. 87 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: I think that's well said. And Buck, I've got a 88 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,239 Speaker 1: couple of more here that I thought were well said 89 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: that I sent into our producer, Greg because I thought 90 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: some of you out there, I understand this is complicated, 91 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: and probably a lot of you don't sit around on 92 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 1: a regular basis thinking about, say, tariffs, like you might 93 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: think about taxes, or economic growth or any other number 94 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: of issues that have been well discussed and debated for 95 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: decades in the United States. Here's Victor Davis Hansen asking 96 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,039 Speaker 1: a question I thought, Buck, that we have asked, if 97 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: tariffs are so awful, how come so many countries have 98 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: tariffs in the first place? Why did these exist? I 99 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: thought this was well said by him. This is cut three. 100 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 5: China has prohibitive tariffs, So does Vietnam, so does Mexico, 101 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 5: so does Europe, so do a lot of countries. So 102 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 5: does India. But if tariffs are so destructive of their economies, 103 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 5: why is China booming? How did India become an economic 104 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 5: powerhouse when it has these exorbitant tariffs on American imports. 105 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 5: How did Vietnam, of all places, become such a different 106 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 5: country even though it has these prohibitive tariffs. Why isn't 107 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 5: Germany before its energy problems. Why wasn't it a wreck? 108 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 5: It's got tariffs on almost everything that we send them. 109 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,359 Speaker 5: How is the EU even functioning with these tariffs? I 110 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,720 Speaker 5: thought tariffs destroyed an economy, but they seem to like them, 111 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 5: and they're angry that they're no longer asymmetrical. Apparently, are 112 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 5: people who are teriffing us think tariffs improve their economy? 113 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 2: I thought that's what was said. 114 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 3: Well, this is what we've been saying, and we never 115 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 3: get I never hear an answer to this. Yeah, people 116 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 3: just say tariffs are attacks, tariffs are born by the consumers, 117 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 3: Tariffs are bad, Tariffs led the Great Depression. They shout 118 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 3: all this stuff, and I say, why does every other 119 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 3: country have tariffs? 120 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, we're the only ones. 121 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 3: And when it comes to being outliers, you know, we're 122 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 3: also the country that's supposed to pay the rest of 123 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 3: the world's bills. We're also the country that's supposed to 124 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 3: be the rest of the world's policemen and the world's giant, 125 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 3: world's biggest refugee camp with a wide open border. Right, 126 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 3: there are a number of areas in which the United 127 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 3: States is expected to bear a burden that other countries 128 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 3: are not. Well, are we bearing the burden of being 129 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 3: the only free trade country in the world. I totally 130 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 3: agree when Elon says we should get to zero tariffs 131 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 3: across the board. Yes, that is the goal. That would 132 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 3: be fantastic. It would be so much better. It's a 133 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 3: bit like saying, you know, wouldn't it be nice if 134 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 3: we could get rid of nuclear weapons. Sure, when everybody 135 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 3: else that we're worried about gets rid of their nuclear weapons, 136 00:07:58,280 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 3: we can get rid of nuclear weapons too. 137 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 2: Why would they keep them? But we get rid of them. 138 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 3: That's what we've been doing, essentially in an economic front 139 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 3: with tariffs. And I still have not heard any the 140 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 3: answers you might hear about this play or something like, oh, 141 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 3: the French want to protect their wine and their cheese 142 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 3: or something, you know, that's very dismissive of it. But well, no, no, 143 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 3: it's this is on American automobiles. This is on a lot. Yeah, 144 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 3: this is on you know, we're talking about the EU 145 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 3: now and people are saying, all right, well Canada, I 146 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 3: saw this. I'm saying Canada's dairy tariffs don't actually go 147 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 3: in too effect if you hit us until you hit 148 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 3: a certain level. 149 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 2: Well, why have them at all? 150 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,439 Speaker 3: If free trade is so good, why have them at all? Right, Well, 151 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 3: at some level it must be because you're protecting your 152 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 3: own industry, because you recognize that wealth generation comes from 153 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 3: the exchange and the creation and exchange of goods and services. 154 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 3: It's not just we keep printing money to buy stuff 155 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 3: from everybody else. There's a lot of that going on here. 156 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,719 Speaker 1: Also, where the companies are base matters. I mean, I 157 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 1: would bet that the reason the Chinese dairy industry is 158 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: I mean, sorry, the Canadian dairy industry is protected, is 159 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: because they don't want America to be sourcing every element 160 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 1: of the dairy there, right, And so where the companies 161 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 1: are based is foundationally very important. Really, this is going 162 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 1: to boil down to the extent that it has not 163 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 1: already into US versus China. And I've heard some people 164 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: out there say that their criticism is actually that we 165 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: should just go full bore after China and not focus 166 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: on other countries as much. 167 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 2: This is let's get try to get mister Wonderful on. 168 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: I think we had him on recently, meaning in the 169 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: last year or so, if I'm not mistaken, but this 170 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: was on CNN. 171 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 2: I thought this was really well said. 172 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 1: He said we should put a four hundred percent tariff 173 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,679 Speaker 1: on China because they're cheaters on the global marketplace. 174 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 2: Listen to cut four one. 175 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 6: Hundred and four percent tariffs in China are not enough. 176 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 6: I'm advocating four hundred percent. I do business in China. 177 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 6: They don't play by the rules. They've been in the 178 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 6: WHO for decades. They have never abided by any of 179 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,679 Speaker 6: the rules they agreed to when they came in for decades. 180 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 6: They cheat, they steal, They steal ip I can't litigate 181 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 6: in their courts. Never has an administration four territory. I 182 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 6: want Chia on an airplane to Washington to level the 183 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:20,079 Speaker 6: playing field. It says, not about tariffs anymore. It's time 184 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 6: to squeeze Chinese heads into the wall. 185 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 1: Now, man, that is aggressive, buck, But I do think 186 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 1: he's saying what a lot of American businessmen believe but 187 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: aren't willing to say because they work with China. I 188 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 1: was actually a little bit surprised because I can't imagine 189 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:41,719 Speaker 1: that the business he does with China is going to 190 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,199 Speaker 1: be helped by those comments. 191 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 2: But this is what you have to do. 192 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,439 Speaker 1: Sometimes you have to speak out against your own interests 193 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: because you recognize the larger interest is important. 194 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 3: Well, I wonder how much business he's really doing in 195 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,199 Speaker 3: China currently. That's point one on that. In point two, 196 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 3: mister wonderful Kevin O'Leary likes to get sound bites that 197 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 3: make their way across the Internet ecosystem and other shows 198 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 3: like this one. 199 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:04,679 Speaker 2: I mean a four hundred percent tariff. 200 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,319 Speaker 3: You know, at some point if we push too hard 201 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 3: on China, I know you could say it's a negotiation 202 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 3: tactic book. We don't want to see them completely insane, right, 203 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 3: because they're What we want is for them to improve 204 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,319 Speaker 3: their behavior. We don't actually just want to extend a 205 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 3: single finger in their direction and say that's the way 206 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 3: it's going to be going forward, right, we would like 207 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 3: to see China. In fact, China's entrance into the WTO 208 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 3: was premised on them changing their behavior. 209 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 2: Right. 210 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 3: This is the which it's not hold. This is well said. Continue, 211 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 3: it's not that we want to be in a trade war. 212 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 3: You know this is what China has decided to do. 213 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 3: China has and you'll get the Belton Road initiative. It's 214 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 3: it's like a mix of communism, authoritarianism, mercantilism. China has 215 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 3: been rapacious when it comes to trade globally and has 216 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 3: not become any more liberal as it has become a 217 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 3: whole lot more wealthy. China is a was a desperately 218 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 3: poor country, uh really up until the nineteen eighties, and 219 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,559 Speaker 3: people forget them, the biggest famine in the history of 220 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 3: the world occurred in China right around nineteen sixty in 221 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 3: world history. Okay, tens of millions of people starve to 222 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 3: death in that country. I think people now we all 223 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 3: think of China as a billion people and a huge 224 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,959 Speaker 3: economy and robotics and Ai clay. China has done this 225 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 3: in the last forty years. 226 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 1: What I think is important about what you said is 227 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: because I've heard this argument for sports for a long time. Well, 228 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: if we go take our basketball to China, if we 229 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 1: take the Olympics to China, they're going to start to 230 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: play by our rules. We will see them democratize, we 231 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:44,680 Speaker 1: will see them join more the Western world. Actually, that 232 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: hasn't happened at all. In fact, they've tried to impact 233 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: the Western world with Chinese values, and I think you 234 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: can see this in a big way. We talked about 235 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 1: this before, but I think it's very important. You know how, 236 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: there's no bad Asian guys in movies anymore. Every bad 237 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,839 Speaker 1: thing about this, like every James Bond movie, every mission impossible. 238 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 1: The bad guys are always people with kind of a 239 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: Russian Ish accent. And if you go back and you 240 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: study it, do you remember when they remade the. 241 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:17,199 Speaker 2: Great movie Redbad Dawn. Yeah, of course. 242 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: They remade the entire movie because initially China invaded Us, 243 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: and then in order to get the movie released in 244 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: the time, they had to go back in. This is crazy, 245 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 1: but they did this. They digitally altered the entire Chinese 246 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,199 Speaker 1: army to make it North Korea that invaded the United 247 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: States because Warner Brothers, I believe, who was distributing the 248 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 1: film or Paramount, was too afraid of angering China by 249 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 1: having China be the bad guys in a movie. And 250 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: one of the threats they just made Buck is We're 251 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: not gonna let American movies come into China anymore. 252 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 3: It's play the theft of intellectual property that's been going 253 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 3: on for decades. It's worse than what the KGB was 254 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 3: able to do during the height of the Cold War, 255 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 3: because at least there we have cyber attacks going on 256 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 3: all the time based in China stealing our most sensitive technology. 257 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 3: We have, our universities are penetrated by Chinese agents all 258 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,559 Speaker 3: over the place. Everybody knows this, the FBI knows this. 259 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 3: But there's all this sensitivity around actually treating a particular 260 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 3: nationality as a wellspring of adversaries, which unfortunately is the 261 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 3: case with China currently. And some people have just decided 262 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 3: in our government that enough is enough, that this is 263 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 3: not the way it is supposed to or it should 264 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 3: continue on. So this is where the friction is. 265 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 2: Right. 266 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 3: This is not going to be easy or perfect. It's 267 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 3: only been a few days. I think people need to 268 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 3: strap in. This is not going to get easier anytime soon. 269 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 3: I don't see Trump backing off the China. 270 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 2: Part of it. 271 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 3: I do hope that as the deals with Japan and 272 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 3: South Korea and the EU get ironed out and there's 273 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 3: a normalization there, everyone realizes, Okay, now we really have 274 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 3: to focus on the big challenge and and there'll be 275 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 3: a clarity about what that really is. But once again, Trump, 276 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 3: even if he's a little sometimes rough on the execution 277 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 3: in the early stages of something, on the big issues, 278 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 3: on the big think, he tends to nail it all. 279 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 7: Right. 280 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 3: Look, for every gun owner in this audience today, I 281 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 3: got to tell you you should make yourself a member 282 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 3: of the United States Concealed Carry Association.

The S and P 328 00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:03,680 Speaker 1: five hundred is up seven percent, nearly four hundred points, 329 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:08,919 Speaker 1: so much of the selloff associated with the tariff battle 330 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:14,120 Speaker 1: has now vanished just about overnight. We tried to tell you, 331 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 1: we said, buy the dips sometimes, don't even look at 332 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 1: stock prices. 333 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 2: Don't panic. 334 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 1: Unfortunately, I know a lot of people sold at the 335 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,439 Speaker 1: bottom and now they're going to be buying back in 336 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 1: as the stock market is surging. But I hope you 337 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: held on. But that is the absolute latest right now. 338 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: Lots of fluctuation, but again, just to kind of put 339 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 1: it in context, the S and P. Five hundred is 340 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 1: now basically trading the same place that it was in August, 341 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:51,440 Speaker 1: and you know it could easily be basically where it 342 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 1: was in September. So anyway, stocks go up and down. 343 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: Trump negotiating. Now what we said I think is accurate, 344 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,160 Speaker 1: which is this is now just China versus the United States, 345 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,920 Speaker 1: and to a large extent, the other countries are now 346 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 1: aligned in favor of free trade. And now we'll see 347 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,479 Speaker 1: what happens with China. All right, Buck, we have got 348 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 1: Julie Kelly cued up to talk about many things, but 349 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 1: it wanted to give that updates everybody out there. Yes, 350 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:21,159 Speaker 1: Julie Kelly. 351 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:25,120 Speaker 3: You all know her from her declassified sub stack, which 352 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,159 Speaker 3: you should go subscribe to, and her great book and 353 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:31,640 Speaker 3: her great work. Julie, thanks for being with us. 354 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 9: Thank you, and Buck, congratulations to you and Carrie. 355 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 7: You're going to have an exciting evening and probably day tomorrow. 356 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 2: Thank you. 357 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't know if you heard our 358 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,120 Speaker 3: friend Jesse's Jesse Kelly said, it's gonna be a tough 359 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 3: twenty four hours for me physically. I need to hydrate, 360 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:49,679 Speaker 3: I need to make sure I get a lot of 361 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 3: get rested. And everyone's freaking out about this, but it's 362 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 3: pretty funny. I'm here for Carrie for anything that she needs, 363 00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:00,119 Speaker 3: and we could not be more excited about it. So 364 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,400 Speaker 3: thank you very much, Julie. And all right, all right 365 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 3: now I got to get you on what is going 366 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 3: on here. A few things that come to mind and 367 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:13,160 Speaker 3: involve Julie Kelly and her work. Judge Boseburg, this guy 368 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,719 Speaker 3: after the Supreme Court comes in and says, hold on 369 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:20,159 Speaker 3: a second, you can't just venue shop. He had a 370 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,639 Speaker 3: hearing scheduled. And where is this guy now? It feels 371 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 3: like he's become the Adam Schiff of resistance judges, which 372 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,680 Speaker 3: is not a compliment, you know, claim Buck. 373 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,119 Speaker 7: It's amazing to see the same judges who for four 374 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 7: years insisted a mostly nonviolent protest to a government building 375 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,880 Speaker 7: on a Wednesday afternoon represent it an attempt to overthrow 376 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 7: democracy and overturn the results of the twenty twenty election. 377 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 7: Keep in mind to Jeb Bosberg routinely in JA six 378 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 7: cases call January sixth an insurrection. That's what you call it, 379 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 7: even for people who are in his core room on 380 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,440 Speaker 7: low level misdemeanors like parading in the Capitol. 381 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 9: But yet here he is. 382 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 7: Actually trying to overturn the results of the twenty twenty 383 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 7: four elections, sabotage Donald Trump's agenda and by extension, the 384 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 7: seventy two million or so Americans who voted for him. 385 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 7: The Supreme Court is not stopping him. So even though 386 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:20,719 Speaker 7: they just vacated his two temporary restraining orders banning deportation 387 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 7: flights of these illegal Venezuelans covered under the President's Alien 388 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 7: Enemy Zact proclamation from March fifteenth. Even though the Supreme 389 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 7: Court vacated those temporary restraining orders, said that Washington was 390 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:36,640 Speaker 7: the improper venue that these illegals should see habeas petitions 391 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 7: where they are in custody, which is Texas. 392 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 9: That's not stopping him. You are exactly right, Buck. 393 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 7: So yesterday he had a hearing scheduled in his courtroom 394 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 7: on a preliminary injunction. 395 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,920 Speaker 9: This is the next natural step after a temporary restraining order. 396 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 7: This is what the ACLU, who is representing these legal 397 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 7: Venezuelans want, and this would put a longer ban on 398 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 7: these flights. Even after the Supreme Court ruling. Jeb Brosberg 399 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,440 Speaker 7: said in April sixteenth, deadline for the ACLU to come 400 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 7: back to him, explain why they're going to continue to 401 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,120 Speaker 7: pursue this preliminary injunction and. 402 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 9: Why they believe that Washington d C. 403 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 7: Jeb Bosberg's courtroom is still the appropriate place to seek 404 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,400 Speaker 7: that relief even though the Supreme Court said very clearly 405 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 7: it doesn't belong in Washington d C. 406 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 9: Furthermore, we could talk a little bit about this too. 407 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 7: He is going forward with his contempt investigation against the 408 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:35,199 Speaker 7: Trump administration and officials who he believes to find a 409 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 7: separate court order a verbal order to return planes on 410 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 7: March fifteenth, and we are expecting that opinion from Jeb 411 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 7: Bosberg really any hour, any day, but sometime this week. 412 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 1: Are you even stunned, Julie, Because I gotta admit, I am, 413 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: and this is me, being a lawyer. I knew that 414 00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: Trump Resistance two point zero would eventually emerge somewhere. I 415 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 1: crazy me thought it might come from the Democrat Party 416 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 1: or maybe the legacy media. It feels like, by and large, 417 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,400 Speaker 1: the Democrat Party is so impotent that they can't even 418 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 1: put counter arguments out. Meanwhile, legacy media is collapsing as 419 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,239 Speaker 1: we speak. I mean, the business models are shriveling up 420 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 1: and dying. Now, we just got all these federal district 421 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: court judges behaving frankly in an unprecedented manner getting slapped down. 422 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: We had trio of them slapped down by the Supreme Court. 423 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: But I gotta admit I didn't foresee them being as 424 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: aggressive as they have been. I knew they would be 425 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,680 Speaker 1: aligned in many ways against Trump, but I didn't think 426 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 1: we would see it, historically without precedent, attack coming from 427 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 1: the federal district court level against Trump and his administration. 428 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:49,679 Speaker 9: Did you, I mean in a place I sort of 429 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:50,400 Speaker 9: agree with you. 430 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 7: I did not as bad as these judges in Washington 431 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 7: DC are, And of course they've been covering them for years, 432 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,160 Speaker 7: both the district and Palette Court, and seeing how viciously 433 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,919 Speaker 7: and wully and remorselessly they treated January sixth defendants and 434 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 7: the President and his associates as well, I really did 435 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 7: not expect this level of defiance, this level of sabotage, 436 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 7: that is the word that what these judges are doing 437 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 7: uniformally in Washington, d C. 438 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,439 Speaker 9: So I guess I would agree with you. I'm a 439 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:21,640 Speaker 9: little surprised at the. 440 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 7: Extent to which they are going, which of course they 441 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 7: did for years against Donald Trump in the same DC courthouse, 442 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 7: whether it was Special Council Robert Mueller's investigation and Special 443 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 7: Council Jacksmith, all these proceedings. 444 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,199 Speaker 9: Were handled in this DC Federal Courthouse. 445 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 7: But to see them line up like little lemmings, especially 446 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 7: behind job Bossburg who's the chief judge, and deny all 447 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 7: of these lawsuits that side with the plaintiffs and all 448 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 7: of these lawsuits who really have no vested interest in 449 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 7: what the Trump policies are, but going to any extent 450 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,160 Speaker 7: that they've possibly can these judges to side with people 451 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 7: who are trying to take down the president's agenda and 452 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 7: again emphasize the will of the American people who put 453 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 7: Donald Trump in the White House to do exactly the. 454 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 9: Disruption that he is doing. 455 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:20,399 Speaker 7: So yeah, and of course defying the Supreme Court is 456 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:24,199 Speaker 7: a whole other level which we see job Bossberg doing. 457 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,440 Speaker 7: But these Democrat judges, as you know, just like Democrat 458 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 7: rank and file voters, do not consider the Supreme Court legitimate. 459 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:35,200 Speaker 7: They are not at all excuse me, I have a 460 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 7: little call. They are not at all chagrin by being 461 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 7: smacked down by the highest Court. 462 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,439 Speaker 3: We're speaking of Julie Kelly declassifizers at the sub stack 463 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,640 Speaker 3: and Julie, we need to get her some some crocket 464 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 3: coffee or some tea with honey in it, perhaps even better. Julie, 465 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 3: sorry that you got you got to call. Appreciate you, you know, 466 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 3: pushing through and uh and telling everybody across the country. 467 00:25:59,040 --> 00:25:59,879 Speaker 2: But they need to know about you. 468 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,159 Speaker 3: By the way, I've learned how to pronounce his name Bosberg. 469 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 3: I guess bas I was just reading it off the 470 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,159 Speaker 3: or i'd been reading it. I hadn't really heard it. 471 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 3: I want to bring your attention to something else too. 472 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:16,199 Speaker 3: The I'm sure you saw this. The acting IRS Commissioner 473 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:21,920 Speaker 3: is resigning from the IRS because the Trump administration has 474 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 3: said you need to share data from your government, data 475 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:32,120 Speaker 3: about essentially illegals that the IRS has information on for 476 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 3: enforcement purposes. I think a lot of people are seeing, 477 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 3: Julie that for the entity that can lock you up 478 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:42,199 Speaker 3: because you don't give enough of your money as an 479 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 3: American to them, and they get to determine after the 480 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 3: fact what that amount is. To then say, hold on 481 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 3: a second, what do you mean you're going to use 482 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 3: our information for federal immigration law purposes. Just goes to 483 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 3: show that there is this whole mentality even within the government, 484 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,640 Speaker 3: that legal aliens are a special protected class. 485 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 7: That's exactly right. It's pretty stunning to see. And this 486 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 7: is the acting director who I think she took over 487 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 7: in February, and all of these deep staters, everyone in 488 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 7: the administrative state who will go out of their way 489 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 7: to protect they believe that these government agencies belong to them. 490 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 7: They don't believe that these government agencies belong to the 491 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,719 Speaker 7: people or certainly should be supervised by the president and 492 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 7: his team. So that's why you see this defiance not 493 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 7: just by the judges, but of course the heads of 494 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:39,160 Speaker 7: these departments and agencies. But of course we are entitled 495 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:43,919 Speaker 7: to this information. I love how transparency and accountability was 496 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,360 Speaker 7: such a big cause during Trump's first presidency that. 497 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 9: Went away, you know, during the second and now all 498 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:49,879 Speaker 9: of a. 499 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:53,880 Speaker 7: Sudden, we can't have transparency and accountability as he's trying 500 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,400 Speaker 7: to clean up and reform all of these corrupt agencies. 501 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:02,440 Speaker 7: So I really commend the administration for their focus, especially 502 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:04,919 Speaker 7: on legal immigration, because as you guys know, that was 503 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,680 Speaker 7: one of the top issues that propelled him into office 504 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,399 Speaker 7: and they are not backing down at all. But we 505 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:15,720 Speaker 7: as America, as American citizens tax payers, are entitled to 506 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:19,879 Speaker 7: know and we saw this too with the voting roles 507 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:25,119 Speaker 7: and illegals who are on Social Security. This is a 508 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 7: huge scandal with real time implications on our country, on 509 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 7: our national security, on our economy, and certainly on our elections. 510 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 7: So good riddance to the acting IRS director. I'm sure 511 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 7: there's a lot of other qualified people who understand the 512 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 7: cause who will replace that individual, and we'll just. 513 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 9: Keep pushing forward. 514 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 7: Intel a judge steps in and stops all of it, 515 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 7: which I'm sure is only a matter of time. 516 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 1: Julie, we appreciate you, keep the fight going and we 517 00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 1: will talk to you again. 518 00:28:58,280 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 2: Have a good weekend.

You're 562 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 3: not a catastrophis. You're not a doom and gloom guy. 563 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 3: Let's just start with this. When people are telling you, 564 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 3: I am concerned about what's happening right now in the markets. 565 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 3: What do you say to them, what's your overall feeling. 566 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 3: I want to get into the win win strategy from 567 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 3: your piece. But first off, an opportunity to tell everybody 568 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 3: don't panic. 569 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 10: Well, I'm panicking when they tell me that. I screaming 570 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,280 Speaker 10: and hollering him on the floor, crying, it's the end 571 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 10: of the world. Let's see it. No, no, you know, 572 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 10: Donald Trump is an extraordinarily competent president. In my view, 573 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 10: he was the single best first term president. I'm just 574 00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:01,040 Speaker 10: talking about economics now, just economics, the same bestfort's term 575 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 10: president in US history. If you look at the Tax 576 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 10: Cuts and Jobs Act, it was wonderful. If you look 577 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 10: at Operation Warp speed, unbelievable energy and dependency, roll back 578 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 10: of the Chevron decision, you know, all of these things there. 579 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,640 Speaker 10: I mean, it was just unbelievable what he did in 580 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 10: his first term. And he is in his second term now, 581 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 10: and you know, he is competent. He's got all the skills, 582 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 10: He's very knowledgeable in the subject. And I believe this 583 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,960 Speaker 10: is me. I believe that he is using the threats 584 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:36,440 Speaker 10: of tariffs and the actual imposition of tariffs to get 585 00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 10: these other countries to come and negotiate free treat trade 586 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 10: deals with US. They are far more protectionists than we are. 587 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 10: We are as a country, US probably the lowest tariff, 588 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,760 Speaker 10: the lowest protectionist country a major country in the world. 589 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 10: There may be something like sark or Jersey or Guernsey 590 00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,800 Speaker 10: or something like Monaco or something like that, but of 591 00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 10: the big countries were by far the least protectionists. And 592 00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 10: how how do you get these other countries that come 593 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 10: to the table and negotiate getting rid of their tariffs, 594 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:06,880 Speaker 10: and you know, you've got to threaten them with access 595 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,800 Speaker 10: to the US market. And so that's what he's doing. 596 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,960 Speaker 10: I believe now you're going to talk to Trump, and 597 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 10: you got to talk to him because he knows far 598 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 10: better what he's doing than I do. And I'm no 599 00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:20,520 Speaker 10: source of special knowledge, but knowing him and knowing all 600 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,120 Speaker 10: the trade stuff I do, I cannot believe that he 601 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 10: would do anything that would really hurt America in the 602 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:27,240 Speaker 10: long run by having a trade war. 603 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:31,080 Speaker 1: Okay, so let's dive into this, doctor Laugher, Art Laugher. 604 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:32,960 Speaker 1: We appreciate you coming on. Every time we come on 605 00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,520 Speaker 1: and talk economics with you. The audience loves it because 606 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 1: you're way smarter about this stuff than we are big 607 00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,160 Speaker 1: picture here, it seems to me, and I read your 608 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:44,520 Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal editorial. It's posted link at clayanbuck dot com. 609 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,200 Speaker 1: Encourage people to go check that out. It seems to 610 00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 1: me that Trump is talking about two different things in 611 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 1: many ways as it pertains to a trade war one. 612 00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 1: And I think Buck and I are in agreement with 613 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,080 Speaker 1: you to the extent that we can eliminate as many 614 00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:02,240 Speaker 1: tariffs as possible on trading countries. That's a great thing 615 00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 1: because it allows even competition, it allows even movement of 616 00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:10,799 Speaker 1: goods with less cost. But China is cheating on the 617 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:15,359 Speaker 1: global stage, and to a large extent, aren't there kind 618 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:19,600 Speaker 1: of two different goals? Because if we eliminated all tariffs 619 00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:23,160 Speaker 1: with China, wouldn't that in some way reward them even 620 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:27,160 Speaker 1: more for their cheating? Do you see this as you know, 621 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:34,040 Speaker 1: let's say the European Union, Australia, Great Britain, China, I mean, sorry, Japan, 622 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:38,080 Speaker 1: South Korea, those are kind of fair trade partners in general. 623 00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,680 Speaker 1: And then you've got China that's in an entirely different universe. 624 00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 1: Are we really talking about two different policy perspectives? How 625 00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:49,800 Speaker 1: would you analyze that? When it comes to trade relationships. 626 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:50,640 Speaker 10: I would say that the two of you are wrong, 627 00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:52,920 Speaker 10: and China's right in the same category with all the 628 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:56,120 Speaker 10: others cheating. I don't know what the heck cheating means. 629 00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,240 Speaker 10: If they gave us all their products free of charge, 630 00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:01,759 Speaker 10: so we got high quality products at low cost, would 631 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,200 Speaker 10: you hate them then and want to bomb them? I mean, 632 00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,839 Speaker 10: when you look at it from a customer standpoint, when 633 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:08,880 Speaker 10: you go to a store, do you sell them? Please 634 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:10,960 Speaker 10: sell me above retail. I want you to charge me 635 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,319 Speaker 10: the most you possibly can for this product. No, No, 636 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:14,640 Speaker 10: we'd like to give it to you, guys. 637 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:14,960 Speaker 9: No. 638 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:19,160 Speaker 10: I mean, China is potentially our best trading partner in 639 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:22,960 Speaker 10: the world long term, and I really think that we 640 00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:26,080 Speaker 10: need to get trying to into the Free Trade Group. 641 00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:29,000 Speaker 10: And if you really think about it for a moment, 642 00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,200 Speaker 10: do you like your customers and your clients and your 643 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,520 Speaker 10: client tell? Of course you do. You know, the one 644 00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,480 Speaker 10: way of guaranteeing hostilities will occur as not trading with 645 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,800 Speaker 10: the country. When you're trying to one, you're a customer, 646 00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,839 Speaker 10: they're a customer, and it leads to friendships, it leads 647 00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:48,560 Speaker 10: to great prosperity, and it leads to eliminating war art. 648 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,600 Speaker 3: Can you tell us why do all these so many 649 00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:56,360 Speaker 3: of these other countries have and have had long standing tariffs, 650 00:35:56,719 --> 00:36:00,680 Speaker 3: and why does China have so many and such aggressive tariffs? 651 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:02,759 Speaker 10: Well, let me tell you why. It is because these 652 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:06,080 Speaker 10: little countries, I say, little Germany, these types of just 653 00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:09,160 Speaker 10: teeny tiny little countries do Yeah, they talk to our 654 00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:11,439 Speaker 10: trade officials and so you know, we've got to put 655 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,640 Speaker 10: this on for political reason, blah blah blah blah blah, 656 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,640 Speaker 10: and the USA's go ahead, please, it's okay, do it. 657 00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:18,799 Speaker 10: You know, it doesn't really affect us very much. And 658 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:20,920 Speaker 10: over the years this is built up to being a 659 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:25,120 Speaker 10: really travesty. They now have way more petition, every single 660 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,160 Speaker 10: one of them. It's not just one one off with 661 00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:30,480 Speaker 10: one tariff. It's cacumulated. And now they have all these 662 00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,640 Speaker 10: For example, I mean, can you imagine they're two hundred 663 00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:37,480 Speaker 10: and fifty percent tariffs in Canada against Wisconsin dairy products. 664 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,520 Speaker 10: What I mean, how did that come about? I'm sure 665 00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:43,360 Speaker 10: it came about with some deal with some president and 666 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:45,400 Speaker 10: some Prime minister of Canada. You know, we've got to 667 00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,239 Speaker 10: do this. I'll lose the election if I don't do it. 668 00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:50,320 Speaker 10: And they get this, they get this one off exemption, 669 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,160 Speaker 10: and all of this is built up, and now Trump 670 00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:55,319 Speaker 10: is trying to get rid of it, and quite correctly. So, 671 00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,160 Speaker 10: I mean, we need to get rid of their tariffs. 672 00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:01,200 Speaker 10: Their quote is their non tariff barriers. They're hurting us 673 00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:02,560 Speaker 10: and they're hurting them. 674 00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,320 Speaker 2: But so why can't China figure out that its tariffs 675 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:05,880 Speaker 2: are hurting it? 676 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:08,840 Speaker 10: I think it will. I mean, if you remember, I 677 00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:10,920 Speaker 10: mean I was the first American to go to China 678 00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,920 Speaker 10: in nineteen seventy, in October of nineteen seven. I went 679 00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,000 Speaker 10: with George Hultzen and John Earlick when we did the 680 00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,560 Speaker 10: pre Kissinger trap. And but then they had one hundred 681 00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:20,680 Speaker 10: percent tariff. They had no trade with the outside world. 682 00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,719 Speaker 10: They were called the Hermit Kingdom. And you know, they 683 00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:27,480 Speaker 10: opened up their trade. They saw how the trade by 684 00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,800 Speaker 10: lowering their trade barriers, by entering into trade, it created 685 00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:34,680 Speaker 10: the greatest economic growth miracle in modern history. The Chinese 686 00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,439 Speaker 10: growth from nineteen seventy to let's say, five years ago 687 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:41,200 Speaker 10: was just a phenomenal period for China. More people were 688 00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:44,360 Speaker 10: removed from poverty than in the entire history of humanity 689 00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:48,480 Speaker 10: one hundred and ninety thousand years so it's it's really 690 00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,600 Speaker 10: I think China will understand this, and I think China 691 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:54,280 Speaker 10: will in due course enter into a free trade agreement 692 00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:57,160 Speaker 10: with the US as well, and it will be wonderful 693 00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:58,600 Speaker 10: when that happens. Believe. 694 00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:02,440 Speaker 1: Okay, So let's go into this China relationship in particular, 695 00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:04,799 Speaker 1: because you say you see it as as similar to 696 00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,080 Speaker 1: the EU and the other countries that I laid out. 697 00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:11,799 Speaker 1: What does an ideal relationship from your perspective look like 698 00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:15,440 Speaker 1: with China when it comes to trade, Because it is 699 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,120 Speaker 1: going to be the case that if we had, for instance, 700 00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:21,839 Speaker 1: zero tariffs at all, China is going to be exporting 701 00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:24,600 Speaker 1: I think four hundred billion is the number that I 702 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:28,480 Speaker 1: saw something like that. The trade imbalance is seismic. We're 703 00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,480 Speaker 1: going to be buying more Chinese goods than China is 704 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:35,040 Speaker 1: going to be buying American goods. Is that trade imbalance 705 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:38,239 Speaker 1: in any way an issue from your perspective? 706 00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:40,480 Speaker 2: And how would you rectify it? What is? 707 00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,000 Speaker 1: In other words, let's pretend that you are Laugher, We're 708 00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:45,400 Speaker 1: given a magic wand and you got to solve it. 709 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:46,560 Speaker 1: What would your answer be? 710 00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:50,000 Speaker 10: Now? Would you mind tell me how much it bothers you? 711 00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,239 Speaker 10: For foreigners wanting to invest in the US because they 712 00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:55,120 Speaker 10: think we're the greatest country in the world. Let's imagine 713 00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:59,359 Speaker 10: we cut taxes, cut regulations, had stable prices, you know, 714 00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:03,319 Speaker 10: no rate, all the correct policies, everyone would want to 715 00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:07,319 Speaker 10: invest in the United States. How do foreigners generate a 716 00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:11,799 Speaker 10: dollar cash flow to buy us located assets? There are 717 00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,200 Speaker 10: only two ways they can do that. They've got to 718 00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:17,120 Speaker 10: sell more goods to US, and they've got to buy 719 00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:19,560 Speaker 10: less goods from US. That's the only way they can 720 00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:23,200 Speaker 10: generate that dollar cash flow to invest in the United 721 00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:26,359 Speaker 10: States of America. And that's the most wonderful thing. We 722 00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:30,120 Speaker 10: built our country from sixteen forty until eighteen seventy on 723 00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:33,760 Speaker 10: trade deficits. We imported all of this capital from Europe, 724 00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:37,520 Speaker 10: primarily Britain and Holland, and used it with our labor 725 00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:39,920 Speaker 10: and with our raw materials, and we became the pre 726 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:44,480 Speaker 10: eminent economic force on planet Earth because of capital investments, 727 00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:48,320 Speaker 10: which is a US trade deficit. Trade deficits are great. 728 00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:50,879 Speaker 10: I mean, let me ask you, which would you rather 729 00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,520 Speaker 10: have capital lineup on our borders trying to get into 730 00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:56,160 Speaker 10: our country or trying to get out of our country. 731 00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:58,800 Speaker 10: You know, if we bring a factory back from Mexico 732 00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,040 Speaker 10: into the United States and bring all those machines and 733 00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:05,240 Speaker 10: all that production equipment by coming across the Mexican US border. 734 00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:09,560 Speaker 10: That's a Mexican export and the Mexican trade surplus. It's 735 00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,960 Speaker 10: a US import and the US trade deficit. It's also 736 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,880 Speaker 10: a US capital surplus and a Mexican capital deficit. Trade 737 00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:20,560 Speaker 10: deficits are how we bring our capital back to the US, 738 00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,960 Speaker 10: and I think we should have trade deficits in China 739 00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:25,560 Speaker 10: thinks that we're the best country in the world and 740 00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:27,560 Speaker 10: they want to invest all their capital in the US. 741 00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:28,640 Speaker 10: God bless them. 742 00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:31,600 Speaker 2: Okay, so I need I need some help here. Square 743 00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:32,560 Speaker 2: in the circle for a second. 744 00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:37,640 Speaker 3: So if good, if trade trade deficits are good, and 745 00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:42,120 Speaker 3: all tariffs are bad and self defeating, what what? And 746 00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:44,399 Speaker 3: so trade and balance is a good thing. We want 747 00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:48,200 Speaker 3: trade and balance. Do you like what Trump is doing 748 00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:49,480 Speaker 3: or are you trying to tell him to not do 749 00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:49,960 Speaker 3: any of this? 750 00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:53,319 Speaker 10: No? No, I like I'm the biggest fan. I'm his 751 00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:56,200 Speaker 10: biggest fan. I think he's negotiating, and I think he's 752 00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:59,400 Speaker 10: negotiating to get them to reduce their tariffs against US, 753 00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:02,799 Speaker 10: which are larger than our tariffs and trade barriers are 754 00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,600 Speaker 10: against them, and I think he brings them to the table. 755 00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,640 Speaker 10: What is it, sixty seventy countries are coming to negotiate. 756 00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:11,640 Speaker 10: What are they coming to negotiate? We will cut our 757 00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:15,080 Speaker 10: tariffs dramatically. Please just allow us access to your market. 758 00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,760 Speaker 10: And I think that's just the wonderful thing for Trump 759 00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:19,799 Speaker 10: to do, and I think he's going to be very 760 00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,239 Speaker 10: successful at it. It scares the live in hell how 761 00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:24,160 Speaker 10: to be By the way, I'm a wuss, I'm not 762 00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:26,959 Speaker 10: a negotier. I'm not a guy like Trump. Trump knows 763 00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:29,879 Speaker 10: how to negotiate and he loves doing it, and he's 764 00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:33,240 Speaker 10: really successful at it. But my belief is that Trump 765 00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:36,160 Speaker 10: deep down is a free trader all the way, and 766 00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:38,480 Speaker 10: I think he just really wants to get them to 767 00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,640 Speaker 10: come here and lower tariffs on their products by a lot. 768 00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:44,359 Speaker 10: And he did this in the first term. By the way, 769 00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:48,080 Speaker 10: that the Japanese Trade Deal was great for lowering tariffs, 770 00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:52,319 Speaker 10: the USMCA was wonderful for lowering tariffs and barriers, The 771 00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,920 Speaker 10: South Korean deal he did, the one he did with Brazil, 772 00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:58,000 Speaker 10: the one he did with Columbia all resulted in better 773 00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:01,040 Speaker 10: trade relationships with these countries, and that's what I think 774 00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:03,840 Speaker 10: he's trying to do. Now he can tell you otherwise, 775 00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:07,440 Speaker 10: and he may well be not doing this, but I 776 00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:09,560 Speaker 10: really have full trust in him that he's doing the 777 00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:12,040 Speaker 10: right thing, and it's very comfortable. 778 00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:15,320 Speaker 2: Let me ask you this. A lot of people listening 779 00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:16,600 Speaker 2: in the Midwest. Jd. 780 00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:21,799 Speaker 1: Vance obviously wrote his book He'll Billy Elogy, which I restseller. 781 00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:24,200 Speaker 1: I'm sure you read it, Buck, and I have read it. 782 00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:27,920 Speaker 1: What is the answer for people who feel like the 783 00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:31,719 Speaker 1: jobs have been hollowed out in the industrial Midwest? For 784 00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:35,879 Speaker 1: people listening to us in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio that got 785 00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:38,439 Speaker 1: used to having those jobs that were going to pay 786 00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:42,320 Speaker 1: so well to produce American goods, is that an issue? 787 00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:44,960 Speaker 10: I want you to tell the audience where the two 788 00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:46,120 Speaker 10: of you are located. 789 00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:47,719 Speaker 2: I'm in National, Tennessee. 790 00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:50,960 Speaker 10: Okay, I'm in Nashville too. Now why am I in Nashville. 791 00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:53,960 Speaker 10: We are the lowest tax state in the nation, and 792 00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:56,760 Speaker 10: earning income is a lot more fun with lower taxes, 793 00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:59,600 Speaker 10: lower regulations. We have no death tax, we have no 794 00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:02,480 Speaker 10: gift we have no unearned cap tax, we have no 795 00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:04,879 Speaker 10: income tax. We have one of the lowest property taxes 796 00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:06,799 Speaker 10: in the nation. We have the best spending, we have 797 00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:10,680 Speaker 10: the best public services. We don't have a manuaffacturing problem 798 00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:13,759 Speaker 10: in Tennessee. All these auto companies are coming in here 799 00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:18,080 Speaker 10: in floods. The problem with manufacturing is Detroit, it's Michigan, 800 00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:23,880 Speaker 10: it's Ohio, it's Pennsylvania, it's Wisconsin, it's Illinois. These places 801 00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:28,480 Speaker 10: are pits. They are anti production, anti prosperity places, and 802 00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:32,520 Speaker 10: they're driving all the business out. It's not China. It's 803 00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:36,279 Speaker 10: the governments of these states that have made it absolutely intolerable. 804 00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:40,080 Speaker 10: Can you imagine opening up a factory in Detroit, Michigan today, 805 00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:43,920 Speaker 10: where property taxes are in some places up to fifty percent, 806 00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:47,480 Speaker 10: fifteen percent on that where the state income tax, they're 807 00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:52,440 Speaker 10: death tax, the reunion. It's a horrible place. Our problem 808 00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:55,640 Speaker 10: is with the states that have the manufacturing, and they 809 00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:59,800 Speaker 10: are repelling that manufacturing all moss. And that's the problem. 810 00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:03,000 Speaker 10: It's not the competition from abroad. And if you don't 811 00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:05,560 Speaker 10: hurt me, just look at Tennessee and how we're doing 812 00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:08,479 Speaker 10: in Texas and Florida. All of us are doing well 813 00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:10,840 Speaker 10: except for those horribly run states. 814 00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:14,920 Speaker 2: All right, Doctor Ard Laffer appreciate your perspective today, sir, 815 00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:15,799 Speaker 2: Thank you very much. 816 00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:18,120 Speaker 10: Hey, it's my pleasure in any time.

Four hours ago, Trump in all caps, 862 00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:46,040 Speaker 3: this is a great time to buy. And yes, he 863 00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:47,320 Speaker 3: was telling you the truth. 864 00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:52,279 Speaker 1: All right, So let's give you the latest news and 865 00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:55,080 Speaker 1: then we're gonna talk about the Art Laugher interview and 866 00:46:55,160 --> 00:47:00,359 Speaker 1: the larger tariff battle. So tariffs on China are now 867 00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:03,560 Speaker 1: going to one hundred and twenty five percent. And what 868 00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:05,359 Speaker 1: I will tell you is, if you go back and 869 00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:07,040 Speaker 1: listen to the first hour, and if you go back 870 00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:11,279 Speaker 1: and listen to yesterday, we really kind of zeroed in 871 00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:17,040 Speaker 1: on the issue at play here. Zero tariffs is actually 872 00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:22,520 Speaker 1: a really good idea for Europe, for Japan, for Australia, 873 00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:26,880 Speaker 1: for South Korea, for countries that are fairly trading. 874 00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:29,040 Speaker 2: There should be. 875 00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:33,319 Speaker 1: Reduced dishonesty, for lack of a better way of putting it, 876 00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:37,160 Speaker 1: unfair trade from some of these tariffs. And I think 877 00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:40,880 Speaker 1: bucket On a good example that Canada has two hundred 878 00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:44,600 Speaker 1: and fifty percent tariffs on dairy because they don't want 879 00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:49,640 Speaker 1: American milk, which is not much different than Canadian milk, 880 00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:53,800 Speaker 1: to come across their border because we can produce milk 881 00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:57,319 Speaker 1: at a cheaper rate than Canada can So they are 882 00:47:57,360 --> 00:48:01,719 Speaker 1: protecting Canadian dairy farmers because they want that industry to continue, 883 00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:04,719 Speaker 1: as opposed to Canadians being able to go to their 884 00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:09,520 Speaker 1: supermarkets and get milk much cheaper because it's coming from 885 00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:12,880 Speaker 1: the United States. And look, there are some tariffs that 886 00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:17,920 Speaker 1: might make sense. For instance, let's say France, I think 887 00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:20,880 Speaker 1: you mentioned this buck, France has high tariffs on wine. 888 00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:25,560 Speaker 1: They consider the French wine to be superior to other wines, 889 00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:29,480 Speaker 1: and they want French people to be drinking their wine. Anyway, 890 00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:34,000 Speaker 1: we can get into the economics basis for tariffs another time, 891 00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:38,320 Speaker 1: but basically, there are many countries with which free trade 892 00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:43,760 Speaker 1: makes sense, and what Trump is diagnosing is that China 893 00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:46,680 Speaker 1: right now is not one of those. And let's listen 894 00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:52,799 Speaker 1: to what Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant just announced, and we 895 00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:57,200 Speaker 1: have that audio right now. Let's go ahead. Here is 896 00:48:57,280 --> 00:49:02,600 Speaker 1: cut twenty five about every country out there ninety day 897 00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:07,040 Speaker 1: pause because they have not retaliated, but China's going to 898 00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:09,520 Speaker 1: be treated differently again Cut twenty five. 899 00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:14,319 Speaker 11: We saw the successful negotiating strategy that President Trump implemented 900 00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:17,520 Speaker 11: a week ago. Today, it has brought more than seventy 901 00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:21,879 Speaker 11: five countries forward to negotiate. It took great courage, great 902 00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:25,120 Speaker 11: courage for him to stay the course until this moment. 903 00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:28,040 Speaker 11: And what we have ended up with here, as I 904 00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:32,920 Speaker 11: told everyone a week ago there in this very spot, 905 00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:37,800 Speaker 11: do not retaliate and you will be rewarded. So every 906 00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:40,520 Speaker 11: country in the world who wants to come and negotiate, 907 00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:44,400 Speaker 11: we are willing to hear you. We're going to go 908 00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:48,840 Speaker 11: down to a ten percent baseline tariff live for them, 909 00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:52,600 Speaker 11: and China will be raised to one five due to 910 00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:54,760 Speaker 11: their insistence on escalation. 911 00:49:56,360 --> 00:50:00,360 Speaker 1: Okay, So that is that explanation. Then he was asked, 912 00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:02,319 Speaker 1: is this a tariff war? 913 00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:04,680 Speaker 2: Now? Is this a trade war? 914 00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:09,000 Speaker 1: And so that was the next question that was asked, 915 00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:12,120 Speaker 1: and here was Besant's response, cut twenty six. 916 00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:14,799 Speaker 6: So I's gonna see it now, this trade war is 917 00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:15,880 Speaker 6: China versus the. 918 00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:18,920 Speaker 11: Christ Well, I'm not calling it a trade war, but 919 00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:23,640 Speaker 11: I am saying that China has escalated. And President Trump 920 00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:27,560 Speaker 11: responded very courageously to that, and we are going to 921 00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:31,680 Speaker 11: work on a solution with the are trading partners. 922 00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:32,880 Speaker 2: Okay. 923 00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:37,840 Speaker 1: Caroline Levitt, White House folksperson, then came out and said, 924 00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:41,400 Speaker 1: what we have been telling you for some time. Don't panic. 925 00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:44,080 Speaker 1: You don't seem in the media to be able to follow. 926 00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:47,280 Speaker 1: And let's be honest here, Buck, there's also any time 927 00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:50,000 Speaker 1: that there can be a panic that works against Trump. 928 00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:53,960 Speaker 1: The media stokes the fears, they drive up the terror, 929 00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:58,040 Speaker 1: and we tried to tamp that down and tell you, hey, 930 00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:00,840 Speaker 1: if you can't you're too emotional, don't look at prices. 931 00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:03,640 Speaker 1: But a lot of people out there weren't willing to 932 00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:06,080 Speaker 1: do that. A lot of people sold Caroline Levitt cut 933 00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:06,720 Speaker 1: twenty seven. 934 00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:09,680 Speaker 12: Many of you in the media clearly missed the. 935 00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:10,520 Speaker 9: Art of the deal. 936 00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:13,960 Speaker 12: You clearly failed to see what President Jump is doing here. 937 00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:16,520 Speaker 12: You tried to say that the rest of the world 938 00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:18,919 Speaker 12: would be moved closer to China, when in fact we've 939 00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:21,880 Speaker 12: seen the opposite effect. The entire world is calling the 940 00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:25,280 Speaker 12: United States of America, not China, because they need our markets, 941 00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:27,960 Speaker 12: they need our consumers, and they need this president in 942 00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:30,600 Speaker 12: the Oval Office to talk to them. If that's exactly 943 00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:33,320 Speaker 12: why more than seventy five countries have called Because the 944 00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:35,440 Speaker 12: United States of America is the best place in the 945 00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:38,160 Speaker 12: world to do business, and as the President has shown 946 00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:40,560 Speaker 12: great courage as the Secretary has said in choosing to 947 00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:42,760 Speaker 12: retaliate against China even higher. 948 00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:48,040 Speaker 1: Okay, so that is the absolute latest from the White House. Now, buck, 949 00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:51,000 Speaker 1: let's dive in with Art Laugher, who wrote a great 950 00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:55,480 Speaker 1: piece in the Wall Street Journal. What Art Laugher believes 951 00:51:55,520 --> 00:52:01,280 Speaker 1: that there should be zero, zero tariffs anywhere in the world. 952 00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:05,160 Speaker 1: He believes completely in free trade. He's a brilliant economist, 953 00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:09,280 Speaker 1: and I think sometimes there are going to be people 954 00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:12,759 Speaker 1: who come on the show and use the forum that 955 00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:15,920 Speaker 1: we have, which is very widely followed by the White House, 956 00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:19,480 Speaker 1: as is Fox News, to make arguments to the President. 957 00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:21,600 Speaker 1: I think that's why he wrote the editorial at the 958 00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:24,319 Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal. I think that's why he wanted to 959 00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:26,320 Speaker 1: come on, and I need to go out dinner with 960 00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:31,080 Speaker 1: him because he's a brilliant guy. But the idea, and again, 961 00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:32,880 Speaker 1: let me just kind of break this down from you 962 00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:35,680 Speaker 1: from my perspective, I'm curious if you will agree if 963 00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:39,120 Speaker 1: we went to zero tariffs with China. Let's pretend that 964 00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:42,200 Speaker 1: China said, hey, we're laying down our arms no tariffs, 965 00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:45,240 Speaker 1: the United States said no tariffs too. We would still 966 00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:49,520 Speaker 1: have a massive trade imbalance with China, and the massive 967 00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:52,880 Speaker 1: trade imbalance means that China produces a lot of goods 968 00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:55,480 Speaker 1: and they have a lot of jobs to produce those goods, 969 00:52:55,920 --> 00:52:58,759 Speaker 1: and the United States buy and large buys them, but 970 00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:02,000 Speaker 1: we don't have the jobs reducing the same amount of goods. 971 00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:05,080 Speaker 1: And one of the challenges Trump is trying to rectify 972 00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:08,759 Speaker 1: is what's going on in the industrial heartland where the 973 00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:10,920 Speaker 1: jobs have been lost. Now, Art Laffer said, and I 974 00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:14,080 Speaker 1: do think this is true that Illinois, for instance, has 975 00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:19,520 Speaker 1: made awful economic decisions and that has led to jobs 976 00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:22,600 Speaker 1: inside of the United States migrating to states that have 977 00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:26,480 Speaker 1: made better economic decisions. Where you live Florida, where I live, Tennessee. 978 00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:31,360 Speaker 1: That's certainly true, and there is some culpability. But for instance, 979 00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:36,000 Speaker 1: Ohio has Republican leadership top to bottom now and it 980 00:53:36,120 --> 00:53:39,400 Speaker 1: still has lost a lot of jobs. Pennsylvania voted for 981 00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:43,359 Speaker 1: Donald Trump and voted for McCormick, and they have lost jobs. 982 00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:43,480 Speaker 2: Now. 983 00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:46,520 Speaker 1: It's true they have Democrat leadership in cities and many 984 00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:50,880 Speaker 1: oftentimes in governorships. But what was your take on that? 985 00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:54,440 Speaker 1: What is your take now with rapidly evolving news cycle, 986 00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:57,600 Speaker 1: as is often the case with the Trump administration. 987 00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:00,680 Speaker 3: Well, I think this is what's interesting to me is 988 00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:04,319 Speaker 3: that the areas where there is some disagreement, I mean, 989 00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:07,280 Speaker 3: clearly Art was trying the art of the deal himself, 990 00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:11,840 Speaker 3: there by putting full faith in Trump but not agreeing 991 00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:15,960 Speaker 3: with some of the principles that Trump has espoused for 992 00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:18,839 Speaker 3: a very long time, not just in this in this 993 00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:25,120 Speaker 3: recent bout of trade negotiations, but at some level, saying 994 00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:28,960 Speaker 3: the things that Trump is saying is a necessary component 995 00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:34,000 Speaker 3: of that negotiation process because people have to be people 996 00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:36,840 Speaker 3: have to believe that you are willing to do the 997 00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:39,160 Speaker 3: things you say you will do. If I mean, let's 998 00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:42,480 Speaker 3: be honest, you're making kind of an economic threat. You know, 999 00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:45,960 Speaker 3: empty threats. The fastest way to lose all of your power, 1000 00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:47,840 Speaker 3: lose all of your influence, is to make empty threats. 1001 00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:48,080 Speaker 2: Right. 1002 00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:50,799 Speaker 3: You know, if you ever shout at somebody you know, 1003 00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:52,799 Speaker 3: oh I'm going to get you know, you're you'll never 1004 00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:54,920 Speaker 3: work in this town again, and they can laugh at you, 1005 00:54:56,200 --> 00:54:58,480 Speaker 3: then you've lost a lot a lot of ground. And 1006 00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:01,560 Speaker 3: if you say, I'm going to tell you, but really, 1007 00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:04,160 Speaker 3: I'm going to pause the tariffs next week, and really 1008 00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:07,439 Speaker 3: I have no interest in taking this to the mat. 1009 00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:09,560 Speaker 2: If I have to do, you have no leverage. 1010 00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:12,279 Speaker 3: So Trump, some of what he has been saying, I 1011 00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:17,160 Speaker 3: think has been a combination of the rebalancing that he 1012 00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:21,120 Speaker 3: wants to achieve, but also establishing the necessary leverage in 1013 00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:22,240 Speaker 3: the negotiations. 1014 00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:23,120 Speaker 2: You know, to. 1015 00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:26,879 Speaker 3: Get people leverage is about pushing, right, you push a lever, 1016 00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:30,240 Speaker 3: pushing people to do the things on the global trade, 1017 00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:33,200 Speaker 3: in these global trade negotiations that he wants them to do. 1018 00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:34,040 Speaker 2: So I think that. 1019 00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:38,160 Speaker 3: That is bearing fruit already and really the country when 1020 00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:41,399 Speaker 3: we're talking about national security concerns, Let's be honest, Clay. 1021 00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:42,680 Speaker 2: You know, if. 1022 00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:44,960 Speaker 3: France wants to have a ten percent or a twenty 1023 00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:48,080 Speaker 3: percent or whatever tariff on their chem ombert, you know, 1024 00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:51,360 Speaker 3: or on their champagne, which is different than sparkling white wine, 1025 00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:53,680 Speaker 3: as we know, even though Americans may be in the 1026 00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:56,080 Speaker 3: habit of calling their sparkling white champagne, it's named for 1027 00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:59,880 Speaker 3: the region, as we learned from Rob Low in Wayne's World. 1028 00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:01,719 Speaker 2: But if they. 1029 00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:05,120 Speaker 3: Want to tariff cheese, we can live with that. But 1030 00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:08,920 Speaker 3: if China is going to be providing all of our robotics, electronics, 1031 00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:14,480 Speaker 3: antibiotics go down the list, that's a problem for us, 1032 00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:17,040 Speaker 3: a bigger problem than I would if the EU is 1033 00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:19,080 Speaker 3: doing that, I think we would feel a lot better. 1034 00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:22,960 Speaker 2: I'm not saying that that's a. 1035 00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:27,160 Speaker 3: Desirable scenario either, but your primary adversary. We have to remember, 1036 00:56:27,239 --> 00:56:29,920 Speaker 3: China's an authoritarian regime. Okay, it's run by the Chinese 1037 00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:32,840 Speaker 3: Communist Party. Mal Stong is one of the most evil 1038 00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:35,400 Speaker 3: people who have ever run any country in the history 1039 00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:37,759 Speaker 3: of the planet. And he's the founder of modern China. Like, 1040 00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:40,040 Speaker 3: they got problems over there. This is not this is 1041 00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:42,759 Speaker 3: not the UK, this is not Australia, right, Not all 1042 00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:46,879 Speaker 3: countries are equal, and so focusing in the pressure on 1043 00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:50,120 Speaker 3: China for this makes sense because that's they're not only 1044 00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:54,359 Speaker 3: the biggest trade you know, manipulator and cheat. And by 1045 00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:55,920 Speaker 3: the way, I disagree with Art when he says like 1046 00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:57,920 Speaker 3: China's fine. I mean, this is where we get to 1047 00:56:57,920 --> 00:56:59,719 Speaker 3: the national security side of things. I don't know if 1048 00:56:59,719 --> 00:57:02,799 Speaker 3: he's aware of how much IP theft they've engaged in 1049 00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:05,520 Speaker 3: and how much cyber intrusion they have done, both on 1050 00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:07,680 Speaker 3: the national security and economic espionage side. 1051 00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:08,400 Speaker 2: It's substantial. 1052 00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:11,880 Speaker 3: Again, Arts an economics guy, I worked in the CIA. 1053 00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:13,640 Speaker 1: He said at the start, he said, like I think 1054 00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:16,240 Speaker 1: Trump's the greatest, Like he basically said, all I care 1055 00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:17,720 Speaker 1: about economics. 1056 00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:20,280 Speaker 3: Which here's economics, So he does not know anything about 1057 00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:22,920 Speaker 3: national security analysis in this respect. And China is a 1058 00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:27,200 Speaker 3: national security threat in trade as well because of the 1059 00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:31,280 Speaker 3: way that they steal intellectual When I say intellectual property, 1060 00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:33,000 Speaker 3: I mean think about someone like Elon Musk. 1061 00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:34,680 Speaker 2: SpaceX is rockets. 1062 00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:37,960 Speaker 3: It's the private company, but it's rockets. You know, you 1063 00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:40,680 Speaker 3: can do a lot with that technology, right, And China's 1064 00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:42,760 Speaker 3: stealing technology is a huge problem. 1065 00:57:43,320 --> 00:57:45,800 Speaker 1: Am I the only one who's still furious at China 1066 00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:48,880 Speaker 1: because they let COVID happen. I mean, I know it's 1067 00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:51,600 Speaker 1: five years ago, and maybe more than five years ago, 1068 00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:53,800 Speaker 1: based on some of the studies that are now coming 1069 00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:56,640 Speaker 1: out about when exactly COVID may have started to circulate 1070 00:57:56,680 --> 00:58:00,880 Speaker 1: in China. But I know much of our fight in 1071 00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:03,480 Speaker 1: the United States was over Hey, some people want to 1072 00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:06,760 Speaker 1: put on masks and their morons, and some people want 1073 00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:08,760 Speaker 1: to shut down schools and their morons. 1074 00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:11,360 Speaker 3: And the worst stuff we did to ourselves in this country. 1075 00:58:11,360 --> 00:58:14,400 Speaker 3: That's my problem. The worst stuff we the worst COVID 1076 00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:17,439 Speaker 3: stuff was the result of stupid, just stupid decisions made 1077 00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:20,800 Speaker 3: here in America, and we funded as we know we 1078 00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:23,160 Speaker 3: funded that lab as well, which not all of it, 1079 00:58:23,200 --> 00:58:24,800 Speaker 3: but some of it, which was. 1080 00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:28,720 Speaker 1: An use the full decision. But my point on it 1081 00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:33,080 Speaker 1: is China paid no penalty. China unleashed COVID on the 1082 00:58:33,080 --> 00:58:37,440 Speaker 1: world led to awful I agree with you policy decisions 1083 00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:40,680 Speaker 1: being made in the United States, but they didn't come 1084 00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:43,520 Speaker 1: clean about how it got out. They never have told 1085 00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:47,840 Speaker 1: the full story about anything, and so my inclination is 1086 00:58:47,880 --> 00:58:50,200 Speaker 1: not to give China the benefit of the doubt on anything. 1087 00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:55,040 Speaker 1: If anything, I actually am inclined to be more draconian 1088 00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:58,800 Speaker 1: in the way that we treat them going forward, because 1089 00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:01,920 Speaker 1: I think we're in a model cold war, and if 1090 00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:04,040 Speaker 1: China wins, I think the world loses. 1091 00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:07,920 Speaker 3: Yes, but you see, this is the point. It's about 1092 00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:10,920 Speaker 3: more than just correct who can make the cheapest widgets. 1093 00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:13,640 Speaker 3: It's about more than that with China. 1094 00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:16,439 Speaker 2: With the EU, you know, it's about who. 1095 00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:19,640 Speaker 3: It's about cheese and beef products and cars and things, 1096 00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:21,520 Speaker 3: and Trump can work all that out with China. 1097 00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:22,280 Speaker 2: It's something else. 1098 00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:25,840 Speaker 3: We are not worried about a first strike from the 1099 00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:30,280 Speaker 3: United Kingdom and them cutting off our critical supplies of 1100 00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:33,240 Speaker 3: electronics and the things that we would need in order 1101 00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:36,360 Speaker 3: to fight a modern war. We are worried about that 1102 00:59:36,400 --> 00:59:39,040 Speaker 3: with China. Okay, So this is why it is in 1103 00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:41,960 Speaker 3: fact different. It is not just we make stuff, they 1104 00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:44,400 Speaker 3: make stuff. We have money, they have money. There are 1105 00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:48,160 Speaker 3: additional factors that complicate the analysis. So we should get 1106 00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:50,600 Speaker 3: to some of these talkbacks, play some of these calls, 1107 00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:53,520 Speaker 3: because yeah, we touched on some of that. And look, 1108 00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:56,240 Speaker 3: I think we should invite Senator Rampaul on soon because 1109 00:59:57,360 --> 01:00:00,080 Speaker 3: he just thinks this whole thing is completely nuts and 1110 01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:02,680 Speaker 3: he's a very smart guy, and I think we should 1111 01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:04,680 Speaker 3: hear him out on this. Senator Rampaul is a very 1112 01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:07,720 Speaker 3: I think I think I might agree with him more 1113 01:00:07,760 --> 01:00:12,680 Speaker 3: than any senator a greater percent of the time on issues. 1114 01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:14,919 Speaker 3: I think that's probably true. I mean, there's a few, 1115 01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:17,520 Speaker 3: you know, Ted Cruz, there's a few, but he's certainly 1116 01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:19,840 Speaker 3: I know aman Ron Johnson just because I love him. 1117 01:00:20,080 --> 01:00:23,080 Speaker 3: He's great up there in Wisconsin holding it down, all right. 1118 01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:26,000 Speaker 3: If you're a member of the USCCA, the United States 1119 01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:30,240 Speaker 3: Concealed Kerry Association, you're getting the benefit of legal assistance 1120 01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:34,000 Speaker 3: if you are compelled to defend yourself and your family lawfully. 1121 01:00:34,280 --> 01:00:36,880 Speaker 3: That's just one of dozens of member benefits available to 1122 01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:39,800 Speaker 3: nearly nine hundred thousand Americans taking advantage of the great 1123 01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:43,200 Speaker 3: work of this organization.
