1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: Main school officials saying they will not comply with the

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: Trump administration's agreement to bar transgender athletes. You want to

3
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: know what anarchy looks like. These are the same people

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: that say.

5
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 2: Our democracy is under attack.

6
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: They're the ones that refuse to comply with the laws

7
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 1: in this country, whether it's deporting I legal immigrants or

8
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 1: abiding by the federal laws. When it comes to this

9
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: issue of protecting women in the sports and the locker

10
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: rooms and the bathrooms.

11
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 2: This coming from the Associated Press.

12
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: School officials in Maine said Thursday they will not comply

13
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 1: with a proposed agreement from President Donald Trump's administration that

14
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: would bar transgender athletes from participating in girls' sports. The

15
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: US Health and Human Services said earlier this month that

16
00:00:54,800 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: the Main Department of Education, MAINS Principles Association, and a

17
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: high school are each in violation Title nine because of

18
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: the participation of transgender athletes. The federal investigation came after

19
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: a public spat between Donald Trump and the Democratic government

20
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: Maine Governor Jenet Mills about the subject.

21
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 2: The Health Department.

22
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: Gave the institutions ten days to comply with a voluntary

23
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 1: agreement to settle the issue by banning the athletes. The

24
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,559
Speaker 1: Principals Association, which oversees high school sports in the state,

25
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: and School Administrative District fifty one, which includes Greeley High

26
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: School where the controversy was erupting, both said they will

27
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: not comply with the agreement. The Federal Health Department cited

28
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: Greeley High School in the Portland suburb of Cumberland because

29
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: of a report that a transgender student won a girls

30
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: track competition, and.

31
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 2: There was obviously video of it going viral.

32
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: The district set in a letter to the community on

33
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: Thursday that it is not complying because it will instead

34
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 1: con you to follow state law and the main Human

35
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 1: Rights Act quote unquote, in other.

36
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 2: Words, screw you to the federal government.

37
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,399
Speaker 1: The district statement also said, quote to our students, thank

38
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: you for your maturity, perseverance, and dedication to learning through

39
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: these distractions. Please continue to lead the way. I'd love

40
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: for them to make that statement, but just change a

41
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: little bit saying Hey, to women, we're really sorry that

42
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: we're forcing you to be in the same locker room

43
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 1: with men showing their dinglings to you, and hey, we're

44
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: really sorry that we're allowing men to beat the crap

45
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: out of you in sports, and hey, we're really sorry

46
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: that we're taking away the chance for you to actually

47
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: get college scholarships and win national titles or state titles

48
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 1: or sectional titles, because we're allowing dudes to claim they're

49
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 1: a chick to beat the crap out of you, and

50
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: that would be a nice statement. Of course, they're not

51
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: going to do that in Maine because they're woke now,

52
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: these Marxist socialists and communists, and the Main Principles Association

53
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: said in a statement it is also quote bound by

54
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: the law, including the Main Human Rights Act, which our

55
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: participation policy reflects. A spokesman for the Main Department of

56
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: Education referred the matter to the state Attorney General's office,

57
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: which did not respond to the AP for a request

58
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: for comment.

59
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 2: Now.

60
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: The US Department of Health and Human Services also did

61
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: not respond to a request for comment. The department said

62
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: in a statement earlier this month this we hope the

63
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: Main Department of Education, the Main's Main Principal Association, and

64
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: the Greeley High School will work with us to come

65
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: to an agreement that resource fairness in women's sports. Nils

66
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: and Trump, you may remember, sparred over the subject last

67
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: month during a meeting of the Governors of the White House.

68
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: During that meeting, Trump made it clear that he would

69
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: pull federal funding from Maine if the state does not

70
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: comply with his executive order barring transittered athletes.

71
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 2: That is again, I don't even like to call it that.

72
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: I just say it's dude acting like chicks from women's sports.

73
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 1: Mills responded, we'll see you in court, and Donald Trump

74
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: said great. The US Education Department has since concluded that

75
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: Maine violated the Title nine anti discrimination law and could

76
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: face Justice Department prosecution.

77
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 2: Now, let me just talk about the strategy here when

78
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 2: it comes to this one.

79
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: I am all in favor of the law being followed

80
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: and the DOJ doing their job to when it comes

81
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: to this issue of the law, like I can't, I'm

82
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: all in favor of it. I think there are far

83
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: too many liberals out there that say, I don't have

84
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: to comply with the law. But if Republicans did this,

85
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: like you would be arrested. I'm not in favor of

86
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: law fare. That's probably a better way of saying it. Okay,

87
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: Like I'm not. What I am in favor of is

88
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: following the law. And you look at another.

89
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 2: Example of this happened a couple of days ago.

90
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: You had Secretary Rawlings saying this in a cabinet meeting

91
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: with Donald Trump, and here's what she said on this

92
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: other issue of transgender Listen, let.

93
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 3: Me just add to that and thank you. We just

94
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 3: had a wonderful cabinet meeting. I'm all aligned on, certainly

95
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 3: the effort to realign the government. But even at the

96
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 3: US Department of Agriculture, we've canceled three hundred thousand dollars

97
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 3: contract educating on food justice for queer and transgender farmers

98
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 3: in San Francisco. A similar contract we canceled in New

99
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 3: York again educating transgender and queer farmers on food justice

100
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 3: and food equality. I'm not even sure what that means,

101
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 3: but apparently the last administration wanted to put our taxpayer

102
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 3: dollars towards that. We canceled a six hundred thousand dollars

103
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 3: contract in out of Louisiana that was studying the menstrual

104
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 3: cycles of transgender men, a six hundred thousand dollars contract.

105
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 3: We canceled another contract out of a university in the

106
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 3: middle of the country that focused on getting more diversity, equity,

107
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 3: and inclusion into our pest management industry. Again, these are nonsensical.

108
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 3: It makes zero sense to use taxpayer dollars to fund these.

109
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 3: I know, these are just a few examples of the

110
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 3: hundreds in the hundreds.

111
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 2: That we have found.

112
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: Well, I got to tell you, like canceling a contract

113
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: in New York, education and educating transiend and queer farmers

114
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: on food justice and food equality. If you explain this

115
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: to the American people the way that Secretary Rawlins just did,

116
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: the majority of Americans are going to say, yeah, we

117
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: stand with you on this, we get it, we understand it,

118
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: we stand with you on we support you on it,

119
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: and we're not.

120
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 2: Going to be bullied anymore. To believe that.

121
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: We have to believe that a man can be a woman.

122
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: We absolutely have to protect women. I still don't understand.

123
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: I really don't.

124
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 2: I don't understand.

125
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: Where are all the quote feminists, like, where are they?

126
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: How are there not more feminists out there that are

127
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: protecting women from men destroying their dreams?

128
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean this, it's incredible.

129
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, by the way, was asked a question it

130
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: was supposed to be one of those quote I got

131
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: you questions in the White House, and he was taking

132
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: questions yet again in the Oval office, and there was

133
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: a reporter that was there then asked the president a

134
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: question about women and men, right the transgender issue.

135
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 2: What is a woman? You ready for this? Here's the

136
00:07:58,640 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 2: President in his own words.

137
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 4: Early, since Democrats seem to struggle answering this question, I

138
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 4: wanted to ask you what is a woman?

139
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 5: And why is it important that we understand the differenstween

140
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 5: men and men. Well, it's sort of easy to answer

141
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 5: for me, because a woman is somebody that can have

142
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 5: a baby under certain circumstances.

143
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 2: She has a quality.

144
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 5: A woman is a person who's much smarter than a man.

145
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 2: I've always had.

146
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 5: A woman is a person that doesn't give a man

147
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 5: even a chance of success. And a woman is a

148
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 5: person that in many cases has been treated very badly.

149
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 5: Because I think that what happens.

150
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 2: With this crazy, this crazy issue of.

151
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 5: Men being able to play in women's sports is just

152
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 5: ridiculous and very unfair to women and very demeaning to women.

153
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 5: And that's got to be about a ninety four percent.

154
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 5: I read today it was a ninety four percent issue,

155
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,719
Speaker 5: and I watched the other day I watched Congressman, a

156
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 5: Democrat congressman fighting for the fact that men should be

157
00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 5: allowed to compete essentially in women's sports, And I say,

158
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 5: I hope they keep that going because they'll never win

159
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 5: another election.

160
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 2: That's a big deal.

161
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 5: But women are basically incredible people do so much for

162
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 5: our country, and we love we love our women, and

163
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 5: we're going to take care of our women.

164
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, how is it if you're a feminist and you

165
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: hear that from Donald Trump? How on earth could you

166
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 1: not be in favor of that? Like, what is there

167
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:28,439
Speaker 1: for you to be angry about? How could you be angry?

168
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: I listened to that, I'm like the feminists would be like,

169
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: okay and get behind that. I can totally get behind that.

170
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: And the president saying it's easy. He's standing up for women.

171
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: And I never thought i'd see a day where the

172
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: Democratic Party would be the one saying that no, women

173
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: were going to screw you over, like.

174
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 2: The feminist movement.

175
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: You would have thought they would have been the first

176
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: one say go men, get the hell out of our

177
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: locker rooms, get the hell out of our sports.

178
00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 2: You would have thought that that's where this would have gone.

179
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 2: But for some reason, like no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

180
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: We're going to have a radical, crazy world where women

181
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: are going to be screwed by men acting like women,

182
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: and their lives are going to be changed and their

183
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: success is going to be changed.

184
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 2: In sports, I've said this before.

185
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if I've said it filling in for

186
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,079
Speaker 1: Mark or not, but Martina Avertelova, I played tennis in college,

187
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: so that's like a I know a lot about obviously

188
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: that sport.

189
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 2: And Martina Nevertulovo was a pimier.

190
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: She was one of the first, I think maybe the

191
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: first like woman to really come out and be like,

192
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: I'm a lesbian, and it certainly was going to affect

193
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: her career, and she knew it because when she came out,

194
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: like it was a long time ago and it was

195
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 1: gonna cost her money, it was going to cost her endorsements,

196
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: and she was gonna be ridiculed, Like she knew what

197
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,199
Speaker 1: was going to happen, and it was not gonna be good,

198
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: all right, Like it was gonna be bad, and there

199
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: was a lot of people that like this was but

200
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 1: she did it and she's come out and now the

201
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 1: LGBTQ world has turned on her because she stood up

202
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: and said that it's totally insane to allow men to

203
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,319
Speaker 1: act like women and compete with women. By the way,

204
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 1: if you want to have a transgender league, I don't care. Okay,

205
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: that's that's one of the things. My actually giving a

206
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: crap now level is like really low. If you want

207
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: to have a transgendered NBA, cool, I'm not gonna watch it.

208
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,599
Speaker 1: Maybe other people want too. Fine, you want to have

209
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: a transgendered tennis tour. Sure, you want to have a

210
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: transgender golf tour. Sure you want to have a transgender

211
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: any tour. I don't care, Like do it like like

212
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: please do it, like knock yourself out. I really don't

213
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: give a crap, Like I don't care, Okay, I don't,

214
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:01,439
Speaker 1: But don't change women's sports to take away from women.

215
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: And that is the point that she made, like it

216
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: is unfair to have men in women's sports. Whether it's swimming.

217
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 1: We've seen this with Riley Gaines, whether it's volleyball. We've

218
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: seen this with with people whose lives have been I mean,

219
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: Donald Trump had one of them at the you know

220
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: it's joint address to Congress recently, you know, as say

221
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: the Union, where there was a woman that he talked

222
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 1: about whose life was altered forever after she had an

223
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: actual brain injury from a man acting like a dude,

224
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: hitting her in the face with a violent way, with

225
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: the speed okay, with the speed of a of a

226
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: man spiking a ball. Not able to play after that,

227
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: this is what happens. Women are going to also get hurt.

228
00:12:53,679 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 1: It's not just it's it's not just what happened with

229
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 1: men taking away scholarships. Women are going to get hurt too.

230
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: Democrats are saying we're not going to comply. Maine school

231
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: officials won't comply with the Trump administration's agreement to bar

232
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: transgender athletes. Maine's Governor Jennis Janet Mills speaking of the

233
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 1: press this week, saying we're.

234
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 2: Not budging at all.

235
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 1: One eight seven seven three, eight to one thirty eight eleven.

236
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: Let me get to your phone calls now, we'll go

237
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: to Danny Welcome. You are on the Markleven Show. Ben

238
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: Ferguson filly in for the Great One.

239
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 2: How are you, sir?

240
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 6: Hey, Ben, thank you for taking my call. I've got

241
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 6: one thing to say for the transgender debucle that they

242
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 6: have going on with women's sports. If you're not good

243
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 6: enough to play with the boys, get better. But if

244
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 6: that's not going to be the case. Why do we

245
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 6: even have women's sports to begin with? And you mentioned something,

246
00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 6: and I want to drop a few points for you

247
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 6: to expand upon later, because I know you're probably up

248
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 6: against the wall the social security issue. In two years,

249
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,079
Speaker 6: I'll be able to collect claim it along with god

250
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 6: knows how many other hundreds of millions of baby boomers.

251
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 6: If it's not there, there is going to be some

252
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 6: serious violence. I am not a proponent of it. I'm

253
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 6: just saying, oh, this isn't going to turn out well

254
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 6: with Boseburg and him going against Trump. Speaker Johnson came

255
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 6: out and said, listen, first of all, we're not a democracy.

256
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 6: We're a constitutional republic. And he came right out and said, listen,

257
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 6: we can dissolve the Supreme Court if we want to.

258
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 6: It only takes the executive and the legislative branch to

259
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 6: do so because there's only one Supreme Court. The rest

260
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 6: are inferior. I don't know where this guy Boseberg gets

261
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 6: off telling the President that he needs to comply with

262
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 6: his wishes and so on and so forth. I mean,

263
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 6: he always wanted to respect judge, but in this case,

264
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 6: I don't think.

265
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: So look, I want to fight all of these things

266
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: like to the fullest, not out of not out of arrogance,

267
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: not even out of like the issue principle. It's because

268
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna win.

269
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 6: Yeah exactly.

270
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: But for me, like yeah, but I mean that it's

271
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: that For me, it's just that's the issue, like it's

272
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: it's it's actually that simple. And I think this administration

273
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: is well prepared for this. This administration is not going

274
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: to back down. This administration understands what law air looks like.

275
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: They're they're in the middle of it yet again here

276
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: and they're not gonna concede. They're not gonna concede because

277
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: they won an election and the American people have spoken.

278
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: And if you want to know how little the left

279
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: respects you as a voter, look at what they're doing

280
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: to try to destroy your vote. That's what people need

281
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: to understand. Let's talk about the lawfair real quick. What

282
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: has been the Democrats move to try to stop all this.

283
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: It has been lawfare. You have a lot of activist

284
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: judges that are out there doing everything they can to

285
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: obstruct the present's agenda, not respecting the president or the

286
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: will of the people who voted him in overwhelmingly winning

287
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: the popular vote as well in every swing state in America.

288
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what has happened with these judges. Now, Unfortunately,

289
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: there is a consistent theme in almost all of this,

290
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: follow the money. It's almost every single time the same thing,

291
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: follow the money. Nearly every activist federal judge obstructing the

292
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: present's agenda, Doade says, has one thing in common.

293
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 2: What is it?

294
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 4: Are you surprised at some of the legal efforts and

295
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 4: some of the judges that have way down. There's about

296
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 4: eight or ten now of these cases that are at

297
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 4: least temporary holds. They're being challenged by the DOJ. Are

298
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 4: you surprised by that pushback?

299
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 7: Well, it's the DC circuit is notorious for having a

300
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 7: very far left blias. And when you look at the

301
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 7: people close to some of these judges, who are where

302
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,640
Speaker 7: are they working? Are they working at these NGOs they're

303
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 7: getting the other ones getting this money? Does that seem

304
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,719
Speaker 7: like a system that lacks corruption? It sounds like corruption

305
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 7: to me.

306
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 1: I mean, you listen to Elon must say that, and

307
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 1: he's just so matter of fact about it. You want

308
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 1: to know why these activists federal judges are obstructing the

309
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,880
Speaker 1: President's agenda because they got a spouse or child that's

310
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: drawing a major paycheck from a democratic line non governmental agency,

311
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: an NNGO, a non governmental office. And so what Donald

312
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 1: Trump has done is this policy have directly undercut these NGOs,

313
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: creating a glaring conflict of interest. Now there is some

314
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:11,439
Speaker 1: good news finally on this The appeals court has just

315
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 1: cleared the way for Trump to fire leaders of the

316
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: independent federal agencies. The ruling is a major victory quote

317
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: unquote for Trump's effort to control regulatory bodies that Congress

318
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 1: intended to operate with some independence. Politico reporting at this

319
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: hour that a federal Appier's court has cleared the way

320
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 1: for the president to fire members of the executive branch

321
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 1: boards that oversee federal employee grievances and labor disputes across

322
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 1: the nation. The ruling today is a victory for Trump's

323
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 1: efforts to exert control over the regulatory agencies that, in

324
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 1: my opinion, are clearly been out of control for far

325
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: too long that Congress intended to operate with some degree

326
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 1: of independence from the president. Federal laws limit the present's

327
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: ability to remove the board members who oversee those agencies.

328
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: But the Trump administration has argue those limits are quote unconstitutional.

329
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: I'm going to put it this way. Hell, yes they are.

330
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,880
Speaker 1: And now we have a court system that's agreeing. President

331
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:23,880
Speaker 1: Donald Trump on Wednesday revealed a chart detailing the reciprocal

332
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 1: tariffs that he will impose on other countries, wanting to

333
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 1: make it very clear to the American people that these

334
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: countries are charging us first, so now we are going

335
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:39,120
Speaker 1: to charge them back. China sixty seven percent tariffs charged

336
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 1: to the US, including currency manipulation and trade barriers, was

337
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: a perfect example of what Donald Trump was talking about,

338
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,360
Speaker 1: and that is exactly why he announced his trade policies

339
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: on what he has deemed Liberation Day. Here's the President

340
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: in his own words at the White House.

341
00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 5: We have some very very good news today and a

342
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 5: lot of good things are happening for our country. Please

343
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 5: sit down, my fellow Americans. This is Liberation Day waiting

344
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 5: for a long time. April second, twenty twenty five will

345
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 5: forever be remembered as the day American industry was reborn,

346
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 5: the day America's destiny was reclaimed, and the day that

347
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 5: we began to make America wealthy again.

348
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 6: Going to make it.

349
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:30,400
Speaker 2: Wealthy, good and wealthy.

350
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 5: For decades, our country has been looted, pillage, raped, and

351
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 5: plundered by nations near and far, both friend and foe alike.

352
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 5: American steel workers, auto workers, farmers, and skilled craftsmen, we

353
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 5: have a lot of them here with us today. They

354
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 5: really suffered gravely. They watched in anguish as foreign leaders

355
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 5: have stolen our jobs. Foreign cheaters have ransacked our factories,

356
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 5: and foreign scavengers have torn apart our once beautiful American dream.

357
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 5: We had an American dream that you don't hear so

358
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 5: much about. You did four years ago, and you are now,

359
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 5: but you know too often, and for many years and

360
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 5: decades even you didn't hear too much about. Our country

361
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 5: and its taxpayers have been ripped off for more than

362
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 5: fifty years. But it is not going to happen anymore.

363
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 5: It's not gonna happen.

364
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: The President also making it clear he knows how the

365
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: media is going to play this doom and gloom. But

366
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: the reality is there's quite a few important groups in

367
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: this country that are backing the President's plan, and that

368
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 1: is exactly why the President made it clear to the

369
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 1: world that the day of economics surrender are over who

370
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,199
Speaker 1: is behind the president well. The Coalition for a Prosperous

371
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 1: America chairman put out a statement saying, this a permanent,

372
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: universal baseline tariff resets the global trade environment and finally

373
00:21:54,880 --> 00:22:00,679
Speaker 1: addresses the destructive legacy of decades of misguided free trade policies.

374
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: President Trump's decision to implement a baseline tariff is a

375
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 1: game changing shift that prioritizes American manufacturing, protects working class jobs,

376
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: and safeguards our economic security from adversaries like China. This

377
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 1: is exactly the type of bold action American needs to

378
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 1: restore its industrial leadership. Today's actions will deliver lasting benefits

379
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:29,959
Speaker 1: the US economy and working class Americans, submitting President Trump's

380
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 1: legacy as the one that ushered in a new golden

381
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 1: age of American industrialization and prosperity. The National Cattleman's Beef

382
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: Association put out a statement as well, saying, quote, for

383
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: too long, America's family farmers and ranchers have been mistreated

384
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 1: by certain trading partners around the world. President Trump is

385
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: taking action to address numerous trade barriers that prevent consumers

386
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 1: overseas from enjoying high quality, wholesome American beef. The NCBA

387
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 1: will continue engaging with the White House to ensure fair

388
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: treatment for America's cattle producers around the world and optimize opportunities.

389
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 2: For exports abroad.

390
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 1: The Steel Manufacturers Association also praising Trump, and again, you

391
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: will not be hearing these statements from the media, and

392
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,679
Speaker 1: that's why I'm giving them to you right now. The

393
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: Steel Manufacturers said this, President Trump is a champion of

394
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: the domestic steel industry and his America First trade policy

395
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 1: is designed to fight the unfair trade that has harmed

396
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 1: American workers and weakened manufacturing in the United States. The

397
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 1: recently reinvigorated two three two steel tariffs have already started

398
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 1: creating American jobs and bolstering the domestic steel industry. President

399
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 1: Trump is working to turn America into a manufacturing powerhouse,

400
00:23:55,720 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: and the steel tariffs are driving that movement. The Alliance

401
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 1: for American Manufacturing also putting out a statement talking about

402
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 1: this is a game changer for American workers, saying today's

403
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 1: trade action prioritizes domestic manufacturers and the American workers. These

404
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 1: hard working men and women have seen unfair trade cut

405
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 1: the ground from beneath their feet for decades. They deserve

406
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: a fighting chance Our workers can out compete anyone in

407
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 1: the world, but they need a level playing field to

408
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: do it. This trade reset is a necessary step in

409
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: the right direction. The National Electrical Contractors Association CEO also

410
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: saying this, President Trump has consistently prioritized policies that put

411
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:46,120
Speaker 1: the electrical industry as a priority, and we recognize as

412
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: commitment to strengthening our nation's economy. As these new tariffs

413
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,120
Speaker 1: take effect, we look forward to working with the administration

414
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 1: to ensure that electrical contractors in the entire electrical industry

415
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:03,199
Speaker 1: can continue powering a America efficiently while navigating potential costs

416
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: and supply chain challenges. These are just some of the

417
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 1: major industries that are backing the President's move. Now, of course,

418
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 1: the media is going to tell you this is a disaster,

419
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 1: that it's going to hurt our economy, that it's starting

420
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,679
Speaker 1: a trade war. The President of the United States of

421
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: America making it very clear I am here to stand

422
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: up for the American worker.

423
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,679
Speaker 5: In a few moments, I will sign a historic executive

424
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 5: order instituting reciprocal tariffs on countries throughout the world. Reciprocal

425
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 5: that means they do it to us, and we do

426
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 5: it to them very simple. Can't get any simpler than that.

427
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 5: This is one of the most important days, in my opinion,

428
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 5: in American history. It's our declaration of economic independence. For years,

429
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 5: hard working American citizens were forced to sit on the

430
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:03,919
Speaker 5: sideline as other nations got rich and powerful, much of

431
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 5: it at our expense. But now it's our turn to

432
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 5: prosper and in so doing, use trillions and trillions of

433
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 5: dollars to reduce our taxes and pay down our national debt.

434
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 5: And it'll all happen very quickly. With today's action, we

435
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 5: are finally going to be able to make America great again,

436
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 5: greater than ever before.

437
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 1: President Trump wasn't the only one excited about what this

438
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 1: can do for the country, Speaker Mike Johnson saying President

439
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 1: Trump is sending a clear message with Liberation Day that

440
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: America will not be exploited by unfair trade practices anymore.

441
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 1: These tariffs restore fair and reciprocal trade and level the

442
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:51,400
Speaker 1: playing field for American workers and innovators. The President understands

443
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:56,120
Speaker 1: that free trade only works when it's fair. Governor Jeff

444
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 1: Landry of Louisiana, a very important state when it comes

445
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: to shipping. This it's pro jobs, pro business, and pro America.

446
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 1: Senator Jim Banks saying the decision by President Trump today

447
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 1: to impose reciprocal tariffs will be so good for Indiana.

448
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: Those are the manufacturing jobs that President Trump is bringing

449
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: back from overseas. Senator Bill Cassidy saying the President's Trade

450
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 1: a Jenna can pave the way for stronger trade deals,

451
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: fairer rules, and real results. I'm excited to work with

452
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 1: President Trump to make it happen. Louisiana workers and families

453
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 1: deserve it, nothing less. And the President wasn't done there.

454
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 1: He also had this to say about the reciprocal tariffs

455
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 1: and why it is working the way that he is

456
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: doing it.

457
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:46,360
Speaker 5: The tariffs will be not a full reciprocal I could

458
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 5: have done that, yes, but it would have been tough

459
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 5: for a lot of countries. We didn't want to do that.

460
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 5: I'd like to see the chart. If you have it,

461
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 5: could you bring it up, Howard. This is a great

462
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 5: Secretary of Commerce, Howard Neck. Thanks ally. So if you

463
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:10,160
Speaker 5: look at that China first row, China, sixty seven percent,

464
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:16,439
Speaker 5: that's tariffs charged to the USA, including currency manipulation and

465
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 5: trade barriers, So sixty seven percent. I think you can

466
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 5: for the most part see it those with good eyes

467
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,679
Speaker 5: with bad eyes. We didn't want to bring it's very

468
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 5: windy out here. We didn't want to bring out the

469
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 5: big charts because it had no chance of standing. Fortunately,

470
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 5: we came armed with a little smaller charge, so sixty

471
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 5: seven percent. So we're going to be charging a discounted

472
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 5: reciprocal tariff of thirty four percent. I think. In other words,

473
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 5: they charge us, we charge them, we charge them less.

474
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 5: So how can anybody be upset? They will be because

475
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 5: we never charge anybody anything. But now we're going to

476
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 5: charge European Union. They're very tough, very very tough traders.

477
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 5: You know, you think of European Union, very friendly. They

478
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 5: rip us off. It's so sad to see. It's so pathetic.

479
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 5: Thirty nine percent. We're gonna charge them twenty percent, So

480
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 5: we charge you them potentially have Vietnam, great negotiators, great people.

481
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 5: They like me. I like them. The problem is they

482
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 5: charge us ninety percent. We're gonna charge them forty six

483
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 5: percent tariff. Taiwan where they make. They took all of

484
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 5: our computer chips and semiconductors. We used to be the

485
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 5: king right with everything. We had all of it now,

486
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 5: we have almost none of it, except the biggest company

487
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 5: is coming in. They're gonna have We're gonna end up

488
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 5: with almost forty percent. Lee Z Elden's working to get

489
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 5: their approvals and it's an amazing company, mister way of

490
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 5: one of the great companies of the world. Actually, they're

491
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 5: coming in from Taiwan and they're gonna build one of

492
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 5: the biggest plants in the world, maybe the biggest for that,

493
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 5: but sixty four percent, we're gonna charge them thirty two percent.

494
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 5: Japan very very tough, great people, and again I don't

495
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 5: blame the people for doing it. It's I think they're

496
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 5: very smart in to it. And I blame the people that

497
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 5: sat right in that Oval office right over there, right

498
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 5: behind the resolute desk. Whichever deak they chose. Japan forty

499
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 5: six percent, they would charge us forty six percent and

500
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 5: much higher for certain items like cars, you know, little

501
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 5: items like cars, forty six percent. We're charging him twenty

502
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 5: four percent. India very very tough, very very tough. The

503
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 5: Prime Minister just left. He's a great friend of mine,

504
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 5: But I said, you're a friend of mine, but you're

505
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 5: not treating us right. They charged us fifty two percent.

506
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 5: You have to understand, we charge them almost nothing for

507
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 5: years and years and decades, and it was only seven

508
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 5: years ago when I came in. We started with China

509
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 5: charged it. We took in hundreds of billions of dollars

510
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 5: from China in tariffs, and they understood. Honestly, Presidency understood.

511
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 5: He said, look, I understand, and the other countries and

512
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 5: they all understand. We're gonna have to go through a

513
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 5: little tough love maybe, but they all understand they're ripping

514
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 5: us off and they understood it.

515
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: So the big takeaway from the President of the United

516
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 1: States of America is this, these are countries that are

517
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 1: doing this to us first and have been doing it

518
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 1: at a much higher rate. We are not going back

519
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 1: with the same number that they're putting on our goods

520
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 1: and services. And this is a time for us to

521
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: have free and fair trade where America is not being

522
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 1: taken advantage of. There is no doubt that the media

523
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: is going to use this moment to attack the president.

524
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 1: But remember the people that I told you about earlier

525
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 1: in their statements, real American workers organizations saying it is

526
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 1: long overdue and this is going to be good for

527
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 1: America long term. That is exactly why the President's calling

528
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 1: it Liberation Day and why so many American workers are

529
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: celebrating this big win. Make sure you share this podcast
