So you got that going on too, which 15 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 4: is not directly Donald Trump's delio, but I'm sure he's 16 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 4: keeping an eye on it. And then he's on the 17 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 4: phone with Putin as we speak, at least in theory. 18 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,759 Speaker 4: Last time they talked for ninety minutes, so it could 19 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 4: be a while before the world gets any news out 20 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 4: of how that phone call went.

But yeah's accurate enough. 24 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, And he said, this is easily the most consequential 25 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 4: phone call thus far of the Trump administration. 26 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: And you know, a lot on the line. So we'll 27 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: see how that goes. 28 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 4: And so man, being president be something, I mean, just 29 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 4: for anybody. You're gonna be on the phone for Putin 30 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 4: for however long, making some really serious like historic decisions, 31 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 4: and then probably within in a couple of hours, be 32 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 4: on the phone with bb Net and Yahoo who's bombing 33 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 4: the by Jesus out Igaza and uh and you know, 34 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 4: dealing with that and then the ramifications there. 35 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 3: If it were only the trade stuff that has been 36 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 3: much discussed these days, that would be pressure enough, stress enough, 37 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 3: complexity enough, I think for any one human being. 38 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: I do notice that. 39 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 4: And I since most people listen to this show are 40 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,639 Speaker 4: kind of into the news, you're probably aware that Israel 41 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 4: started bombing the Palestinians were humas again yesterday. It is 42 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,519 Speaker 4: the Palestinians according to the mainstream media. I noticed the 43 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 4: mainstream media, man ay, there is there is there is 44 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:50,679 Speaker 4: no hedging on this whatsoever. Immediately jumped into the how 45 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 4: many people have died according to the Health Ministry, many 46 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 4: of them children. 47 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 3: I mean this, Israel launches deadly attacks, was the headline 48 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 3: in the New York Times. Most attacks in war are 49 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 3: that's kind of the idea. 50 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,959 Speaker 4: Right, And then quoting the enemy for how many people 51 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:09,359 Speaker 4: die and taking. 52 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,399 Speaker 1: Their word for how many of them are children? It's 53 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: just insane. 54 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, it went from It was criticized to do that. 55 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 4: Even Joe Biden himself criticized it. You can't take their 56 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,959 Speaker 4: word for it, he once said, but got so much pushback, 57 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 4: and now all mainstream media goes with their numbers. According 58 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 4: to Hitler, this many German children have been killed in 59 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 4: Allied bombing and then you report. 60 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: That as you imagine. No, it's nuts, right. 61 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 3: I kept coming across the phrase the peace talks, specifically 62 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 3: the talks over the next phase of the peace process 63 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 3: had stalled. And there are days I feel like I'm 64 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 3: in the midst of the Emperor's new clothes and everybody 65 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 3: around me is walking around saying. 66 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 5: Oh, the Emperor has a two state solution.

Every shot fired by the houthies 87 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 4: will be looked upon from this point forward as being 88 00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 4: a shot fired from the weapons and leadership of Iran 89 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,919 Speaker 4: in all capitals, and Iran in capital letters will be 90 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 4: held responsible and suffer the consequences, and those consequences will 91 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,840 Speaker 4: be dire, he wrote on Truth Social. So it's all 92 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 4: tied together Huthis and Hamas. It's all about, hey, Ran, 93 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 4: get your act together. Finally we'll see, finally, a little leadership. 94 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 4: This violence, I believe will end much of the violence. 95 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: Not immediately. 96 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 3: It depends on which specific you're talking about, but the 97 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 3: whole don't. 98 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 1: And if you do, oh well we won't do much. 99 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 3: We saw what that got us. Let's try something different. 100 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 1: Please. Well. 101 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,919 Speaker 4: Politically, what's interesting is I don't know how much of 102 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 4: Trump's bases the Tucker Carlson crowd don't. I really don't know. 103 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 4: I don't know if it's one percent or twenty percent. 104 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 4: I wish I had a better handle on that. But 105 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 4: Tucker Carlson tweeted out yesterday, it's worth pointing out that 106 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 4: a strike on the Iranian nuclear sites will almost certainly 107 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 4: result in thousands of American deaths at Bay throughout the 108 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 4: Middle East and cost the United States tens of billions 109 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,359 Speaker 4: of dollars the cost of future acts of terrorism on 110 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 4: American soil, maybe even higher. Those aren't guesses, those are 111 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,359 Speaker 4: the Pentagon's own estimates, says Tucker Carlson. A bombing campaign 112 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 4: against Iran will set off a war, and it will 113 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 4: be America's war. Don't let the propagandists lie to you. 114 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 4: And that was repeated by n Coulter and Candae Owens 115 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 4: and a variety of people out there. 116 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 3: Sure, I think at least some of that is probably true. 117 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 3: All right, Tucker, Now do if we continue to withdraw 118 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,919 Speaker 3: from the strategic parts of the world a la Joe Biden? 119 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: What's it going to be like that? How many people 120 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: will tie? Then? 121 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 3: Yeah, as the evildoers of the world are empowered, go ahead, 122 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:43,840 Speaker 3: do that one now. 123 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 1: Yeah. 124 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 4: When I read that from Tucker Carlson, I was actually 125 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 4: thinking we at some point, and this is grim, I realize, 126 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 4: and easy to say when it's not you or your kid. 127 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 4: My brother's no longer active military, but I'd be saying 128 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 4: the same thing if he was still active in going 129 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 4: into the Middle East. At some point, the United States 130 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 4: is going to have a return to reality and history 131 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 4: with wars where you lose thousands of people and it's 132 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 4: not like you immediately pull out of the country because 133 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 4: you lost people, because that's the way wars were. 134 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: I mean, that's going to happen at some point. 135 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 4: I don't want it to happen, but it's inevitable, especially 136 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 4: with Russia and China continuing to push, at some point 137 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 4: we're actually going to have to fight and take losses 138 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 4: and have to overcome them politically, not just you know, 139 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 4: just not just strategically. 140 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 3: The fantasy that you can stop pushing outward, and I 141 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 3: don't mean like geographically or spreading yourself centner and it 142 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 3: cinner and a cinner, I mean being willing to project power. 143 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 3: The fantasy that if you lose that willingness there will 144 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 3: be peace is so incredibly foolish. And there's some very 145 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 3: very intelligent people pushing it, and I'm a little mystified 146 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 3: as to their thinking what they think will happen next. 147 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: This could end up being a big political rupture, definitely. 148 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Well, political ruptures seem to be the norm 149 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 3: right now, and our delights loping clip will illustrate in 150 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 3: a moment. And I have a theory as to why, 151 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 3: and it's a good one.

Usually controversy 343 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 4: like this is completely bogus, and it's just to let 344 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 4: you know there's a new movie out. This is real 345 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,959 Speaker 4: because of wolfism. So we'll get into that maybe an 346 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:18,400 Speaker 4: hour or two. 347 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 3: Although my only comment, because we will discuss it next hour, 348 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:28,400 Speaker 3: is that if that were the only problem with this 349 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 3: steaming pile of non entertainment, but my god, the organist. 350 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,199 Speaker 1: Has gone wild. Sorry about that. 351 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 3: I believe it's a drug problem anyway. You know, musicians 352 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,199 Speaker 3: are you know, please where was it? 353 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:41,399 Speaker 1: Oh? 354 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 3: Yes, if that were the only problem this steaming pile 355 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 3: of non entertainment had, well that would be something, but no, 356 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,399 Speaker 3: they wish that there was a real dwarf controversy because 357 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,120 Speaker 3: then people might actually want to see it. But more 358 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 3: to come on that. A lot of people talking about tariffs, 359 00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 3: a lot of headlines these days. Fever pitch has always 360 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 3: because Donald Jay is involved, and I and Jack have 361 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,639 Speaker 3: also at times said we wish Trump was being a 362 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 3: little more explicit on what he's trying to accomplish, what 363 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 3: the goal is and why it's good for America. And 364 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 3: there's been some information on we got to bring manufacturing 365 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 3: back and that sort of thing, and I think everybody's 366 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,199 Speaker 3: in favor of that. As long as you know the 367 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 3: means of getting there aren't too insane. But I've been 368 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:29,640 Speaker 3: surprised he hasn't done a Reaganesque speech. And I don't 369 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 3: mean just Reaganesque generally, but Reagan at the beginning of 370 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 3: his first term, when inflation was rampant, he went before 371 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 3: the nation and he said, look, here's my plan. It's 372 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,920 Speaker 3: going to be rough in the short term, but we're 373 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 3: going to squash inflation and then things are going to 374 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 3: be rosy. 375 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 1: And a lot of America believed them. 376 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 3: And he did it and it worked out almost precisely 377 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 3: the way he said. And I've just kind of been 378 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 3: waiting for Trump to do that, well, you know, in 379 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 3: a more here's a speech kind of way. I mean, 380 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 3: he talks to the American people every day, multiply interesting way. 381 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, so both I was reading in The New York 382 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 4: Times last night, both Tom Friedman and David Sanger, two 383 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 4: of their more respected journalists, and for different reasons on 384 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 4: different topics, but both of them were talking about how 385 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 4: Trump has been the most disruptive and disruptive is not 386 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,400 Speaker 4: always a negative word, but have been the most disruptive 387 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 4: president in eighty years. I mean since World War Two 388 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 4: in the first fifty days. Would you agree with that 389 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 4: or not? Oh yeah, wow, most president in eighty years. 390 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,119 Speaker 1: If he's not number one, he's tied for it. That's true. 391 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, even if I'm going to quibble that, 392 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,679 Speaker 4: you have to be in be in that top couple. 393 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 1: Absolutely, top tier. Sure. 394 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 3: So the reception being, Hey, the World War Two, let's 395 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,439 Speaker 3: cruise along, this is going great, the post World War 396 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 3: Two cruise along. 397 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:51,120 Speaker 1: Everything's going great. 398 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,639 Speaker 3: Period looks like it's coming to an end, and we 399 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 3: ought to be a little proactive. Well, right, So that 400 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,399 Speaker 3: was the Ross doth Fat column that I read from 401 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,640 Speaker 3: the New York Times. Also, he's a conservative leaning gentlemen. 402 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,639 Speaker 3: His whole column was all about these things were already true. 403 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 3: Trump's just recognizing they're truer saying it out loud. The 404 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,640 Speaker 3: economy is different, the world order is different. These things 405 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 3: were already real, and he's just like. 406 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 1: Leaning into it. So this is an interesting take. 407 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,439 Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, indeed, and there's a lot of truth to it. 408 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,680 Speaker 3: I think, you know, some of the means they're going 409 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,920 Speaker 3: about to do this stuff. I think he's a little 410 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:31,159 Speaker 3: ham handed, and maybe the communications not great, but you know, 411 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:35,679 Speaker 3: they'll work that out anyway. The folks involved in the 412 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 3: tariff policy discussion, I think are aware of people like 413 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 3: me saying, what are you guys doing? And so they're 414 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 3: starting to talk to reporters and or whether on the 415 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 3: record or off the record, and leaking and that sort 416 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 3: of thing. And the strategy is becoming more clear. And 417 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 3: the Journal has a piece They've got four guys working 418 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:57,120 Speaker 3: on this, and they're talking about some of the negotiations 419 00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 3: that have been going on behind the scenes, which really 420 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 3: help illuminate what they're trying to do. Officials have recently 421 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 3: weighed whether to simplify the complex tax task rather of 422 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:12,440 Speaker 3: devising new teriff rates for our hundreds of trading partners, 423 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:17,120 Speaker 3: by sorting the countries into one of three tariff tiers. 424 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,399 Speaker 3: You know, fair countries that are good friends, kind of 425 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,959 Speaker 3: medium countries, and countries that are sticking us with tariffs, 426 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 3: or I gotta stick family tariffs and try to sort 427 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 3: them out. They later ruled out that proposal because they're 428 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 3: still trying to sort out how to implement the rates 429 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 3: and how to figure out who's who and so, and 430 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 3: Trump has told them that the folks working on this, 431 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 3: that you've got like till it's April second to come 432 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,880 Speaker 3: up with your plan, and so they're scrambling like crazy. 433 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 1: But the goal of all of this. 434 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 3: Is to get to a much more reciprocal world where 435 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 3: all right, just to pick out, you know, Germany, if 436 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 3: you're going to impose a tariff on our fine automobiles 437 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 3: at thirty percent, well your BMW's and nowadis and VW's, 438 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 3: we're gonna hit you with. 439 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:10,440 Speaker 1: The same thing. 440 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:15,439 Speaker 3: And by the way, which which I think is completely defensible, 441 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 3: because speaking of the post WW two era, when America 442 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 3: stood astride the manufacturing old world like a colossus. 443 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 1: Europe was in ruins. 444 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 3: Asia was either in ruins or living in huts, right, 445 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,640 Speaker 3: I mean, we'd say, all right, yeah, you can put 446 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,439 Speaker 3: a twenty percent tariff on our stuff so you can 447 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 3: get your industry up and run in and we didn't care. 448 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 3: But that that period is over now. So anyway, they're 449 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 3: trying to get to reciprocal tariffs. You tax us thirty percent, 450 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 3: we tax you at thirty percent. Oh you don't want that, 451 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 3: Well how about we go with something low and reasonable. 452 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 3: So they're trying to figure out how to get there. 453 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 3: It's going to be a Rocky Ride. And complicating all 454 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,640 Speaker 3: this is these countries are not stupid, so you have 455 00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:59,880 Speaker 3: even like a Germany for instance, as long as we're 456 00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 3: talking about them, and China is doing the same thing. 457 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 3: But let's put China over there because there are mortal enemy. 458 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 3: But Germany's saying, oh, oh yeah, you get to thirty 459 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:12,360 Speaker 3: percent on German cars now, but only ten percent in 460 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 3: Mexico because of the free trade agreement Trump himself negotiated. 461 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 3: So Galigi, we're setting up a plant now in Mexico 462 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 3: with the same effective situation of our cars are way 463 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 3: cheaper to sell in the US than your cars are 464 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,680 Speaker 3: to sell in Germany. And where are we going to 465 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 3: set up a plant that Germany doesn't have a Mexico, 466 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 3: so we're at a disadvantage. So again that's joy over 467 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:41,440 Speaker 3: the day. Germany doesn't have a Mexico. They need a Mexico. 468 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 3: Doesn't everybody need a Mexico. Evidently, jd Vance has taken 469 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 3: a big role now in the trade agenda development and 470 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 3: has been hosting some of the hours long meetings at 471 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,920 Speaker 3: the Naval Observatory, which is for some reason where the 472 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:57,880 Speaker 3: Vice President lives in Washington. 473 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:05,160 Speaker 1: But it makes more sense to me, now interesting, but it's. 474 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 3: So complicated because again, okay, so we're super great buddies 475 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,439 Speaker 3: with the l Salvador or England or whatever, and you 476 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,199 Speaker 3: figure that out as China, you think, ok, we'll just 477 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 3: manufacture there, We'll send our crap through there because they 478 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 3: don't have a high terriff on us, and then the 479 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,200 Speaker 3: US ends up not getting their tariff. So it's it's 480 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 3: tough stuff anyway. So I think that's what they're they're 481 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:27,679 Speaker 3: working on. 482 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,920 Speaker 4: Following up on the other thing we were talking about 483 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 4: earlier in the hour, and so Trump bombs the heck 484 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 4: out of the Hoot, these Israel bombs the heck out 485 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:40,119 Speaker 4: of Hamas. Those are both Iranian backed groups. It's basically, 486 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 4: you know, part of the proxy war with Iran. And 487 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,880 Speaker 4: Trump has threatened in the last couple of weeks that 488 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 4: Iran needs to, you know, make a deal. He sent 489 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 4: a letter to the Ietola you need to make a 490 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:57,359 Speaker 4: deal on this whole Iranian nuclear program you've got, or 491 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 4: we're gonna take it out and it's going to be 492 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 4: really bad for you. And Iran has not responded. And 493 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 4: then I so I mentioned that Tucker Carlson, who's got 494 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 4: millions and millions of followers, and not just like literal 495 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,479 Speaker 4: actual follower his Twitter account and his website, but people 496 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:23,399 Speaker 4: in that ideology. We got this text Tucker was on 497 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 4: with Bongino's replacement yesterday. 498 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 1: I don't know who that is. 499 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,879 Speaker 4: And Tucker said, Pakistan has nuclear weapons. North Korea has 500 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,879 Speaker 4: nuclear weapons. I don't want Iran to get nukes, but 501 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 4: those other countries have nukes. So I guess suggesting letting 502 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:43,160 Speaker 4: Iran get a nuclear weapon would be better than military 503 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 4: action with them that could turn into an actual war, 504 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 4: which I do not agree with. 505 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 3: But no, particularly because well, Pakistan's a wobbler. I was 506 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 3: going to say, North Korea isn't run by religious fanatics 507 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 3: who are bent on bending the war to Allah's will. 508 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think. 509 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 3: Your average Presbyterian in the US, or I'm not religious, 510 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 3: I'm spiritual. They can't conceive of what a religious fundamentalist, 511 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:17,160 Speaker 3: how he sees the world raised from you when you're 512 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 3: a baby. To believe that Islam should rule the entire 513 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:24,679 Speaker 3: world and anywhere it doesn't is a humiliation to God Almighty. 514 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,120 Speaker 3: And it is your sacred duty to spend every day 515 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,399 Speaker 3: of your life to to take care of that and 516 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 3: spread Islam and make Islam the government of all of 517 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,239 Speaker 3: the earth. They don't they don't get that. 518 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 4: This is just like solidified in my mind in the 519 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 4: last dozen hours or so, and then I will get 520 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 4: off this. But and I know I'm going to be 521 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,520 Speaker 4: accused of being a neo khan or chickenhawk or all 522 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 4: those sorts of terms for a neo hawk, an chicken khan, 523 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:56,440 Speaker 4: a chicken con which is the worst. God help you 524 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:57,639 Speaker 4: if one moves in next door to you. 525 00:27:58,760 --> 00:27:58,879 Speaker 1: Uh. 526 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,679 Speaker 4: Similar to the topic of recognizing reality in a certain 527 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 4: in a bunch of different areas, the economics, world order 528 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 4: are different stuff. We might have to realize that the 529 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 4: we're gonna have to fight some of the bad people. 530 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:13,919 Speaker 4: We're gonna have to fight some of the bad people, 531 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 4: actually engage with them, lose people, and fight them and win. 532 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 4: That's going to have to happen like has always happened 533 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 4: throughout history and. 534 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:30,400 Speaker 3: Were carefully and judiciously and never for the wrong reasons. 535 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:35,240 Speaker 4: We haven't really done that in a long time, right, right, 536 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,640 Speaker 4: But that I think that's coming, and it would be 537 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 4: really obviously somewhat ironic. Is as often the cases with 538 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,479 Speaker 4: a case when people get elected president. Very sort of 539 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 4: thing that they ran on ends up being in their 540 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 4: lap and they have to make some decisions that he 541 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 4: wanted to make. Trump, who ran a lot on, you know, 542 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 4: getting this out of wars, and all these di's say 543 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 4: he might have to be more engaged as a war 544 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 4: president than any we've had in a long time. Quite possibly, 545 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 4: that has happened so many times in history. 546 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 1: That's the George W. Bush story. 547 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, though he took it way too far and lost 548 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 3: his mind in my opinion. But anyway, my grand unifying 549 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 3: theory on why both parties are so divided and how 550 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 3: everything's crumbling. 551 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 1: Next hour, cool, hopey, say. 552 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:17,720 Speaker 4: We'll get into the dwarf controversy CGI dwarves taking jobs 553 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 4: away from little people. 554 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:20,240 Speaker 1: Cruel, absolutely cruel. 555 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 3: I'm working on the headline little Men, Big controversy.

We'll 565 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 1: have them for you. 566 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 3: Got a lot to come next hour, indeed, including a 567 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 3: freedom loving Quote of the day bassetball addition at least partly, 568 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 3: I'm sorry, a gender bending Madness update basketball edition partly. 569 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 1: Now it's time for the freedom loving Quote of the bit. 570 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 3: Somebody really needs to write this on a whiteboard in 571 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:12,720 Speaker 3: front of me. I need Q cards like I'm on 572 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 3: Saturday Night Live. This is from Dietrich Bonhoeffer, sent along 573 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:21,480 Speaker 3: by anonymous person interrupting our series of Teddy Roosevelt quotes. 574 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 1: Just for the day. 575 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 3: I'll give you the short version, Jack, Can you tell 576 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 3: me if you want the longer version? Stupidity is a 577 00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 3: more dangerous enemy of the good than malice. 578 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 1: One may protest against evil. 579 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 3: It can be exposed, and if need be prevented by 580 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 3: use of force. Against stupidity, we are defenseless. 581 00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 1: That's pretty good. That is pretty good. I'll read you 582 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 1: a little more. 583 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 4: I've been reading, been meeting to read more about Dietrich Bonhoeffer. 584 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 4: I just never get around to it. 585 00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:49,239 Speaker 5: Uh. 586 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 3: Evil always carries within itself the germ of its own subversion, 587 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 3: in that it leaves behind in human beings, at least 588 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 3: a sense of unease against stupidity. We are defenseless. Neither 589 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 3: protests nor the use of accomplish anything. Here reason falls 590 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 3: on deaf ears. Facts that contradict one's prejudgment simply need 591 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:10,120 Speaker 3: not be believed. In such moments, the stupid person even becomes critical, 592 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 3: and when facts are irrefutable, they are just pushed aside as, inconsequential, 593 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 3: as incidental and all this. The stupid person, in contrast 594 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:21,120 Speaker 3: to the malicious one, is utterly satisfied and being easily irritated, 595 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 3: becomes dangerous by going on the attack. For that reason, 596 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 3: greater caution is called for when dealing with a stupid 597 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:28,360 Speaker 3: person than with a malicious one. 598 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 1: That'd be my life experience. 599 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 3: That is one of the greatest breakdowns in dealing with 600 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 3: a stupid person I've ever come across. 601 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 1: Mail Bag drop us a note. 602 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 3: Mail Bag at armstrong in getty dot com is the 603 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,080 Speaker 3: email address mail bag at armstrong in getty dot com. 604 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 3: Data on the topic of Americans used to be much 605 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 3: more mobile, and there was a big giant moving day 606 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 3: once a year. 607 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:50,240 Speaker 1: If you didn't hear. 608 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:54,360 Speaker 3: It, it was our three of yesterday's show. Grab it 609 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:59,120 Speaker 3: via podcast Armstrong in Getty on demand Data says I 610 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,719 Speaker 3: was one hundred percent agreement with you about people just 611 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 3: picking up and moving and how great that was to 612 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 3: chase where the opportunities are the way we used to. 613 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 3: But it dawned on me that most households are made 614 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,120 Speaker 3: up to working people. Only one of those people has 615 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 3: lost their job. Makes it harder to pick up and move. 616 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 4: Wow, very wise, perception of being definitely degrees more difficult. 617 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 3: Because of the length of the piece we're discussing yesterday, 618 00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,560 Speaker 3: I left that out. The author did point that out, 619 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:30,719 Speaker 3: and also that in divorced couples, child custody agreements make 620 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 3: it much harder to pick. 621 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 1: Up it right, right, So the complexity of. 622 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:38,800 Speaker 3: The modern world has definitely hurt our ability to find opportunity. 623 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 1: Wherever it lies, no doubt. Wow, rich and beautiful green 624 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 1: organ rites. 625 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 4: In fact, well, yeah, picking up and leaving when you 626 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 4: got two careers that have to the in the same 627 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:52,280 Speaker 4: location start over again at the same time, it's a 628 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 4: pretty daunting task. 629 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 1: It is very complicated. 630 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, guys, how can we hear little about SpaceX rescuing 631 00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 3: these stranded astronauts. The ten day mission turns into nine months. 632 00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,200 Speaker 3: The government can't get them. I would point out the 633 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 3: Boeing folks floundered Elon to the rescue, but the media 634 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 3: barely mentions it. Yeah, well that's because he's a bad guy. 635 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 3: Now he's evil, He's evil. Mfaae my favorite African American 636 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,560 Speaker 3: Elon rich and Oregon. 637 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 1: Let's see. 638 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:24,680 Speaker 3: I don't know if I'm supposed to sing this, but 639 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 3: another Jay in San Jose writes on the sixth level 640 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:32,480 Speaker 3: of chess Trump gave to US.

Magnus and Tucson writes, aquifer depletion 652 00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:13,680 Speaker 3: dust bowl. I remember hearing that we're depleting all the 653 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:15,919 Speaker 3: water in the aquifers in the Midwest, the West too, 654 00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,080 Speaker 3: and when it's gone there will be a Midwest dust 655 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:21,840 Speaker 3: bowl for decades. Yeah, the climate change stuff is way overblown. 656 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:25,040 Speaker 3: It's a profit center for green new scammers. The pumping 657 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,000 Speaker 3: out the aquifers too fast stuff. I have talked to 658 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:31,640 Speaker 3: people who are completely responsible, saying, people who point out 659 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:35,279 Speaker 3: that just means underground water. Essentially, we're pumping it out 660 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,319 Speaker 3: way faster than nature. Then nature can replenish it, and 661 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:39,440 Speaker 3: we're making a serious mistake. 662 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:40,319 Speaker 1: I believe that to be true. 663 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, dust storms that are causing fifty car pile ups 664 00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,719 Speaker 4: in the Midwest that hasn't been around for a long time. 665 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:48,839 Speaker 3: And then this, I don't think we have time.
