We're going to have a 23 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: little bit of time here beforehand before Brian Glenn takes 24 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,040 Speaker 1: it over, and then we'll have time on the back end. 25 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 1: But right now, breaking news on Capitol Hill. Let's go 26 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: to our cold open for the five o'clock show. 27 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 4: All right, welcome back. We've got some breaking news on 28 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 4: Capitol Hill. The Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer just announced 29 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 4: that Senate Democrats are preparing to block the government funding 30 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,680 Speaker 4: bill that was passed by House Republicans last night. Our 31 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 4: CNA Chief Congressional correspondent Manu Raju on the Hill as 32 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 4: per usual, Manu, what have we learned from Schumer here? 33 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 4: I mean, this big question was we're Democrats going to 34 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 4: stand and fight? Where they going to view it as 35 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 4: important to keep the lights on the deadline's Friday. I 36 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 4: think my question is, I mean, how much of this 37 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 4: is real that we could actually face a shut down 38 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 4: here and how much of it is them needing to 39 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 4: show that they are fighting. 40 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 5: Well, they definitely need to show that they are fighting 41 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 5: to a lot of Democrats. They want you to see 42 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 5: this as really there. Really it is their first piece 43 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 5: of leverage to push back against everything that does Roald 44 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 5: Trump had done so far because their votes are needed 45 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 5: in the Republican led Senate in order to overcome a 46 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 5: filibuster attemptant needs sixty votes to overcome a philibuster. The 47 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,799 Speaker 5: Senate is controlled fifty three forty seven by the GOP. 48 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 5: We expect one Republican Senator to vote against it, which 49 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 5: means there needs to be at least eight Democrats to 50 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 5: vote yes. And what Chuck Schumer just said on the 51 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 5: Senate floor just moments ago was that there would not 52 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 5: be sixty votes. There would not be at least eight 53 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 5: Democrats to break a filibuster. 54 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:33,239 Speaker 6: Join us to avoid a show. Funding the government should 55 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 6: be a bipartisan effort, but Republicans chose a partisan path, 56 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 6: drafting their Continuing Resolution without any input any input from 57 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 6: Congressional Democrats. Because of that, Republicans do not have the 58 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 6: votes in the Senate to invote cloture on the House CR. 59 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 6: Our caucus is unified on a clean April eleventh CR 60 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 6: that will keep the government open and give Congress time 61 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 6: to negotiate bi parties in legislation that can pass. We 62 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,119 Speaker 6: should vote on that. 63 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 1: I hope, I hope. 64 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 6: Our Republican colleagues will join us to avoid a shutdown 65 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 6: on Friday now with. 66 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 5: CR means continuing resolution, which is essentially an extension of 67 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,919 Speaker 5: government funding, which Schumer is calling for. There as a 68 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 5: one month extension of government funding. But the Republicans are 69 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 5: just not gonna go for that. So that really was 70 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 5: going to leave Democrats with a choice here in the 71 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 5: Republican led Senate. They can vote for the House Plan 72 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 5: which they are posing, because it does have cuts to 73 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 5: domestic programs, it does nothing to constrain Donald Trump or 74 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:42,559 Speaker 5: Elon Musker. 75 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 3: The ever superb the federal government. 76 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 5: So they can vote to accept that House Plan, which 77 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 5: extends government funding until the end of September. Or they 78 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 5: could line up and do what Chuck Schumer said right there, 79 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 5: block this plan, and that could lead to a shutdown, 80 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 5: and that has actually caused Casey a lot of consternation, 81 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 5: a lot of concern among Senate Democrats. They don't know 82 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 5: how long the shut talk could. 83 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 3: Go on for. 84 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 5: They don't know what Trump would do if the government 85 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 5: is shut down. Perhaps he could go even further in 86 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 5: his effort to purge the federal workforce and shut down 87 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 5: government agencies, which is why a lot of Democrats are 88 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 5: still uncertain despite Schumer's declaration, whether they would actually stand 89 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 5: firm and block this plan or whether it come Friday 90 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 5: and we expect that key procedural vote to happen, whether 91 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 5: they'll vote to advance it and eventually let this become law. 92 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 5: But if they do that, there'll be a lot of 93 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 5: backlash from a lot of Democrats who want to see 94 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,479 Speaker 5: their party fight in their first piece of leverage against 95 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 5: Donald Trump. 96 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:40,559 Speaker 1: This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray 97 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: for our enemies, because we're going to medieval on these people. 98 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: You not got a free shot. All these networks lying 99 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 1: about the people, the people have petted belly bull of it. 100 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 1: I know you don't like hearing that. I know you 101 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:54,720 Speaker 1: try to do everything in the world to stop there, 102 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen. 103 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 1: And where do people like that go to share the 104 00:04:59,120 --> 00:04:59,679 Speaker 1: big lines? 105 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 3: Mega media? 106 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 2: I wish in my soul, I wish that any of 107 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:06,479 Speaker 2: these people had a conscience. 108 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 1: Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? 109 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: If that answer is to save my country, this country 110 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: will be saved. 111 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 3: War Room. 112 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: Here's your host, Stephen k Ban.

So that's all to 125 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 1: happen eight o'clock to night Eastern Standard time. We're going 126 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 1: to live stream on all of our channels the debate 127 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: in Wisconsin for the Supreme Court Justice. We recommend everybody 128 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,919 Speaker 1: come into that tomorrow. We're actually gonna be teed up 129 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: beforehand with the Chairman of the GOP is going to 130 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 1: break it all down for us. We're going to try 131 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 1: to get him in before the president comes in. Also tomorrow, 132 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: we'll have a breakdown in polling afterwards where that stands, 133 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: and we'll have the ability for you how you can 134 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 1: do out of state phone banking. We understand the war 135 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 1: imposse phone's blown up. People want to go to work, 136 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: ready to ready to stretch the legs and get back 137 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 1: to it. So right there, the Democrats, President Trump put 138 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 1: him in a box. The House Republicans voted on a 139 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: cr and then left town. Pretty cocky. I kind of 140 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: dig it. Very Trump move and Schumer. As of this morning, 141 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 1: the thinking was they were going to get sixty votes 142 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 1: to break cloature and to basically say, Okay, we'll go 143 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: to the end of the year. We don't like it, 144 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 1: We'll go to the end of the year. But they 145 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,919 Speaker 1: couldn't get the eight votes they needed, even with Fetterman 146 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: saying he would vote for it. Ran Pauld already said 147 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: he was going to vote against this. I guess they 148 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: needed eight votes. They can't get them, and it looks 149 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: like unless something huge happens, what they want is a 150 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: thirty day extension. Now we would say for the thirty 151 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: day extension, if the appropriations bills were anywhere near where 152 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: they could be, and I think seventy five percent of 153 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: the total appropriations has been done, we've advocated, hey, pass 154 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: those bills, work that out, then do a cr for 155 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: the rest. It doesn't look that that's going to happen. 156 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: I don't think President Trump or the Republicans aren't accede 157 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: to that. I think they've already passed that by right now. 158 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: If you're a betting man, I think it looks like 159 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: the government could shut down at midnight. And I will 160 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 1: tell you, I don't know how you unshut it down. 161 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: But they're essentially the Democrats shut down the government. Aren't 162 00:07:55,920 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: they giving a free hunting license to President Trump? Been 163 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 1: duged in Elon Musk just to go on and say, oh, 164 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: here's who you know, here's who is essential, and here's 165 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 1: who not essential. We hear it's not going to happen 166 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: this afternoon. We know this. But the executive order to 167 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: essentially take apart kind of on a formal basis the 168 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: Education Department Apartment of Education has not been signed yet. 169 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: So anyway, News, I'm gonna get back to it. The 170 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: Democrats say, Schumer says he doesn't have the votes. In 171 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: in not having the votes, it looks like we're hitting 172 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: to a shutdown. There'll be a lot more negotiation on that. 173 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: The Senate Finance Committee goes up to see President Trump 174 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: at the White House tomorrow, goes to the White House tomorrow. 175 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: I think they're talking about the tax building reconciliation, but 176 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 1: I'm sure a lot's going to happen. We also have 177 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: all day long a firestorm on tariffs. People don't understand tariffs, 178 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 1: a lot of nonsense being put out there. So we 179 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,839 Speaker 1: asked the expert of reassuring, Spencer Morrison, to join us. 180 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 1: I got a slight open for him, a clip. Let's 181 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: go in and play it. We'll bring Spencer in. Listen. 182 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 2: There's not much criticis I think people don't know what 183 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 2: he's doing. I don't have to think. I mean most 184 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 2: people say they don't know what he's doing. Speaker Johnson 185 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 2: has been defending him, saying that we are effectively has 186 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 2: said we're in a transition period. John Thune, the Senate 187 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 2: Majority leader, keeps saying, you know, my view on tariffs, 188 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 2: which is he's not a fan of this. But Trump 189 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 2: is trying to reorganize the global order and we should 190 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 2: be patient. 191 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 6: As effectively his message. 192 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 2: But I will tell you the market goes down, continues 193 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,199 Speaker 2: to go down like it's going down now, and I'm 194 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 2: not talking about it might be up at this moment, 195 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 2: but if it continues a downward trajectory, members of Congress 196 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 2: are going to be nervous because people, as I think 197 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 2: you noted, Katie, people are not going to be happy 198 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 2: if their four O one k's or portfolios are going 199 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 2: down and they're looking to retire. I think that was 200 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,679 Speaker 2: in the clip that you showed at the top. Patients 201 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 2: to reorganize. The global trade order is just going It's 202 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 2: going to wane significantly to the extent that exists now 203 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 2: I don't even really know. And on top of that, 204 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 2: just with all the chaoks with government funding and the 205 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 2: tax bill and everything that's going on on Capitol Hill, 206 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 2: there's just not going to be an appetite for a 207 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 2: large scale trade war, and I think that will start 208 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 2: to rear attend a couple of weeks. 209 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,679 Speaker 7: The EU was set up in order to take advantage 210 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 7: of the United. 211 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 8: States, including Ireland. Is Ireland taking advantage of the US. 212 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 3: Of course, they I can't. 213 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 7: You know, I have great respect for Ireland and what 214 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 7: they did, and they should have done just what they did. 215 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 7: But the United States shouldn't have let it happened. We 216 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 7: had stupid leaders. We had leaders that didn't have a clue, 217 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 7: or let's say they weren't business people, but they didn't 218 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 7: have a clue what was happening. And all of a sudden, 219 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:53,679 Speaker 7: Ireland has, you know, our pharmaceutical companies and this this 220 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 7: beautiful island of its island of five million people, it's 221 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 7: got the entire US pharmaceutical industry, and and you know, 222 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 7: you mentioned housing, and you mentioned other things. 223 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 3: I mean, I have property in Ireland, as you know, 224 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 3: and I love it. 225 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 7: It does great, but I'd like to have I'd like 226 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,439 Speaker 7: to see the United States not have been so stupid 227 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 7: for so many years, not just with Ireland, with everybody, 228 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 7: you know. I looked at trade deals, I was telling 229 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,319 Speaker 7: the group yesterday. I looked at trade deals in term one. 230 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 7: It's one of the reasons I decided I had to 231 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 7: do this because somebody had to. 232 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 3: Straightened it out, and I didn't see anybody that was 233 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 3: going to. I looked at trade deals that were so bad. 234 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 3: I'd actually say, how is it possible. 235 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,959 Speaker 7: That this could have happened? Who would have been so 236 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 7: stupid to let these deals happen? For instance, when the 237 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 7: pharmaceutical company started to go to Ireland, I would have said, 238 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 7: that's okay. If you want to go to Ireland, I 239 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 7: think it's great. But if you want to sell anything 240 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 7: into the United States, I'm gonna put a two hundred 241 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,319 Speaker 7: percent er from you, so you're never going to be 242 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 7: able to sell anything into the United States. You know 243 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,839 Speaker 7: what they would have done, They would have stayed. 244 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: Here, Okay. Spencer Morrison, the author of Restoring and I 245 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 1: think America's top expert on tariff's, Spencer, your head must 246 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 1: have been blowing up the last couple of days, all 247 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: the nonsense, because it's almost been for the audience that 248 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:26,439 Speaker 1: doesn't have to monitor CNN, in MSBC, in CNBC. It's 249 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 1: almost been NonStop tariffs and how evil terifts are, how 250 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: terrible terarists are, how Trump doesn'tnoy anything, He's out of control, 251 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 1: He's destroying the world's trading order. Sir, And I'm gonna 252 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 1: bring you back after the break, But just give us 253 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: your overall assessment, Spencer, of where we stand in all, 254 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,199 Speaker 1: this is President Trump actually crazy. 255 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:47,959 Speaker 9: Hie, Steve, thanks for having me on the show. No, 256 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 9: President Trump is not crazy. 257 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 10: What President Trump is doing is he's recognizing that there 258 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 10: are two types of economies that are in conflict in 259 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 10: not just in America but all throughout the world world. 260 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 10: There's a financialized economy and then there's the productive economy. 261 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 10: And what President Trump is doing is he's trying to 262 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 10: shift America away from a financialized economy, a service based economy, 263 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 10: towards an industrial and a productive based economy. And this 264 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 10: is incredibly important, not just for the long run prosperity 265 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 10: of America, but also for its national security. I just 266 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 10: want to give you a really quick example of this, 267 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:25,559 Speaker 10: the financial economy. 268 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 1: I tell you a Spenser, hang on, this is hang on. 269 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,719 Speaker 1: This is too good, This is too good. I want 270 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,839 Speaker 1: to hold it. I want to give you plenty of runway, brother, 271 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: because just in saying that, you've been able to kind 272 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: of give a you know, a construct, intellectual construct in 273 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 1: people's minds for the war and posse. There's the lords 274 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,959 Speaker 1: of easy money on Wall Street. They want to financialize everything. 275 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:51,719 Speaker 1: Remember how that worked out for us last time? I 276 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: remember two thousand and eight with the financial financialization of 277 00:13:55,679 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: the mortgages and credit backed securities, all this esoteric financial 278 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: instruments that they took hundreds of millions of not bans 279 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 1: of dollars of fees out and then when it all 280 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: collapsed because the underlying comedy couldn't support it, not one 281 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 1: of them, not one of them, was ever held, ever 282 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:18,320 Speaker 1: held accountable. They've socialized the risk. That's a fancy Harvard 283 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 1: Business School term for saying, you the little guy, the 284 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 1: taxpayer pays, and they've left unlimited upside from themselves. That's 285 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 1: a hell of a system. That is one hell of 286 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 1: a system. We could not have created something so perfect 287 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: for the ruling class in this country. This is what 288 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 1: President Trump's trying to break, trying to reindustrialize America, what 289 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: Spencer Morrison calls the productive economy with manufacturing production and 290 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: high value added, good paying jobs.

She has acted as nothing more than a 339 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 11: rubber stamp for the DOJ, well until the DOJ went 340 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 11: back to Donald Trump in January, so she allowed Robert 341 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,639 Speaker 11: Muller to get away with whatever he wanted to. She 342 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 11: then did the same with the grand jury proceedings for 343 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 11: Special Counsel Jack Smith in the classified Documents case and 344 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 11: the j sixth case. But now what she did, and 345 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 11: quite honestly, Steve, this is a clear example of a 346 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:04,880 Speaker 11: judge who should have recused herself because she handled the 347 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:11,159 Speaker 11: Trump Russia collusion investigation that originated in the offices of 348 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 11: Perkins Kui, the law firm that acted as the pass 349 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 11: through between Fusion GPS, who retained Christopher Steele, who made 350 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 11: up the dossier basically and pedaled that around Washington for 351 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 11: twenty sixteen and twenty seventeen, including at the FBI. 352 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,480 Speaker 12: She managed that investigation. She should have. 353 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 11: Recused herself from the lawsuit that Perkins Kui just filed 354 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 11: seeking a temporary restraining order or to overturn the President's 355 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:43,639 Speaker 11: executive order last week that stripped security clearance from everyone 356 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 11: at that firm. 357 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:49,440 Speaker 12: She did not do that, and instead today issued. 358 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 11: From the bench putting on hold a temporary restraining order 359 00:18:54,600 --> 00:19:00,879 Speaker 11: against the President's executive order stripping Perkins KOI of their 360 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 11: security clearance. Is just another egregious example of these judges 361 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 11: acting solely on their own. 362 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:18,160 Speaker 1: Let me, yeah, Perkins understands one, this is Trump's war. 363 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: This is Trump's war against the big law firms that 364 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 1: run the city, that run the Emperial Capital. And he 365 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,360 Speaker 1: put a shot right across the bow. They do understand 366 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 1: that this and this is why they're fighting, and they're 367 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,639 Speaker 1: fighting out of the box, Julie. They understand this is 368 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,879 Speaker 1: much deeper in the justice security clearances. They understand that 369 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 1: the next thing they stripping of security clearances, next thing 370 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,200 Speaker 1: goes to cutting them off on government contracts. What these 371 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:45,639 Speaker 1: guys live for. And perkinskoy is with Bob Bauer and 372 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,440 Speaker 1: Mark Elias. I mean, this is the demon shop of 373 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:52,199 Speaker 1: the demon shop, right, That's why they were symbolically chosen 374 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: as the first But this, right, I don't understand is 375 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,160 Speaker 1: a judge basically restricted the president of the United States 376 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 1: from somebody. How can the commander in chief be restricted 377 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: from taking somebody's security clearance away. Some institutions, see he 378 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: has ultimate authority on all security clearances done. 379 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 12: Hey ma'am, well, I mean you would think so. 380 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:14,159 Speaker 11: But this is apparently not the conclusion of Beryl Howell, 381 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,919 Speaker 11: where she basically said, and I will beginning the transcript, 382 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,159 Speaker 11: I was following Kyle Cheney at Politico, who was in 383 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,160 Speaker 11: the courtroom. This is one of those proceedings that did 384 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,200 Speaker 11: not have audio line. The other hearing that I covered 385 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 11: today in Judge Chuckkin's courtroom, but you had to be there, 386 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 11: so I was following along what Kyle Chaney was saying. 387 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:38,400 Speaker 11: And she's making these outlandish declarations. How seeing the president 388 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 11: be able to strip someone of their security clearance, you know. 389 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:46,359 Speaker 12: Just made the hair on her skin raise up. 390 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:46,679 Speaker 1: You know. 391 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 11: She was making, as she always does, all of these 392 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:57,440 Speaker 11: editorial comments directly contradicting what is clearly the president's presidential 393 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 11: executive executive authority to do exactly what he did. Not 394 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,920 Speaker 11: just Perkins Cooy, but of course Covington and Burling, the 395 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,719 Speaker 11: law firm that gave free legal services to special counsel 396 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 11: Jack Smith. And I'm following up on this, but it 397 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 11: appears like she is preventing the President's executive order from 398 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 11: going through by calling Perkins Cooy dishonest and dangerous, which 399 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 11: he did. But what the Perkins Cooy lawyer told Howell 400 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 11: today is this is basically a death sentence pin for 401 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 11: Perkins Cooi that there would be no way for the 402 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 11: firm to stay in business if this executive order. 403 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:42,159 Speaker 1: Hold, oh, baby, baby, I love this even more. We 404 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,880 Speaker 1: want a death sentence, and we want tossault the earth. 405 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 1: We want to carthaginy in peace. We want to salt 406 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:51,880 Speaker 1: the earth around it. You also this other big so 407 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,160 Speaker 1: President Trump as Commander chief can't take some an institution 408 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 1: or person's security clearance away. Okay, I see where they're 409 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 1: going now. The other is about more about money. And 410 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 1: this is where you know President Trump has the empowerment, 411 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,919 Speaker 1: has the ability to cut the money off. Tell me 412 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,679 Speaker 1: about this this because this thing's kind of murky about 413 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 1: I think this is twenty billion dollars ended up in 414 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 1: City Corp. In the last days of Biden. Who actually 415 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 1: gets it now? People are going to courte on that too, 416 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,479 Speaker 1: Is that correct, Julie. 417 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 11: Yes, Steve, And this is a huge scandal that I 418 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 11: will be covering and hopefully you and I could talk 419 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,120 Speaker 11: about more. This has to be one of the biggest 420 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 11: scandals out of the Biden Harris regime, and that is 421 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 11: this twenty seven billion dollars quote unquote climate fund, twenty 422 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 11: billion dollars of that was hidden at City Bank, put 423 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:46,680 Speaker 11: at City Bank, our money under this greenhouse gas reduction 424 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 11: fund twenty billion dollars put at City Bank November first 425 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:56,680 Speaker 11: of twenty twenty four, obviously to not only keep accountability 426 00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 11: away from Republicans in Congress, but of course a potential 427 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:05,200 Speaker 11: Donald Trump White House. That money was granted to only 428 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:10,479 Speaker 11: eight nonprofits, climate non profits, including one that had just 429 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 11: been created by Stacy Abrams, who received two billion dollars, 430 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 11: but the other one, Climate United, and that's who was 431 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 11: in court today before Judge Tanya Chuckkin, another one of 432 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 11: our favorites, filed a lawsuit because EPA Administrator Lee Selden 433 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 11: and DOJFBI is investigating that twenty billion dollar fund that's 434 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 11: at City Bank right now, froze disbursement of those funds 435 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 11: under suspicions of fraud and other criminal behavior, and then canceled. 436 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 11: Lee Shelden announced last night canceled the contracts with those 437 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:52,639 Speaker 11: eight climate nonprofits.

Is it because that 501 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 1: the forces that want the financialization of the economy, the 502 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 1: neoliberal side of American the American economy, they will do 503 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 1: anything to talk smack about smack about tariffs, including lie 504 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 1: baldfaced lies on television all day long. 505 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,919 Speaker 9: Sir, Yeah, absolutely, Steve. 506 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,920 Speaker 10: These people are the same people who for the last 507 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 10: fifty years have been neutering America's intostry. They want America 508 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 10: to be weak and easy to control. Right, So what 509 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,359 Speaker 10: President Trump is doing is he's imposing tariffs on key, 510 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 10: key items like steel, aluminum, all the things that we 511 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 10: need for an industrial, powerful economy. And what that's going 512 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,159 Speaker 10: to do, it's going to shift the balance of power 513 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 10: from financial aspects of the economy over the productive aspect 514 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 10: aspects of the economy. So, for example, machine tools, these 515 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:30,640 Speaker 10: are the sorts of tools that shape other materials. They're 516 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,400 Speaker 10: the machines that we need to make more machines. They're 517 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 10: basically the reproduction system of our economy. In America used 518 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 10: to be the leading exporder of machine tools. We made 519 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 10: all machine tools, right, everybody bought American machine tools at 520 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 10: the end of World War Two. Now America makes just 521 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 10: seven percent of machine tools. I mean Italy makes more. 522 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 10: Italy makes eight percent of these. Right, you think about 523 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 10: the size of the economy between America and Italy, it's 524 00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 10: not even close, but America's economy is behind Italy's when 525 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 10: it comes to creating these really valuable. 526 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 1: Uh you know, machine shocking. 527 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 9: It's shocking. Germany makes fifty. 528 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 1: Double. Okay, you're watching the East room. Momentarily, the Prime 529 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 1: Minister of Ireland that Tayshock I think is pronounced in Gaelic, 530 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 1: is going to enter with the President United States, Donald 531 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 1: John Trump. They're going to have some brief remarks and 532 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 1: then they will take questions. Our own Brian Glenn is 533 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 1: in the east room with a real America's voice, a 534 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 1: camera crew. As soon as the Prime Minister in the 535 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 1: President will come through those double doors are there. As 536 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 1: soon as they enter, we will go live to the feed. 537 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 1: So this back and forth with Canada. Talk to me 538 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 1: about what happened in Canada. Day first of the premiere 539 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 1: was going to charge twenty five percent for the hydro 540 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 1: electric power coming to Minnesota, Michigan, in New York. Then 541 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 1: he says he's going to put a Then he says 542 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 1: he's going to cut it off. They've gone back and forth. 543 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: Now Canada is going to put President Trump went back 544 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 1: said hand and fifty percent in yours aluminum steel, and 545 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 1: then today I think they fired back. Is this a 546 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 1: way to have a trade war? Is jaw boning or 547 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 1: you're an expert on this, Spencer, what's going on? 548 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 9: Well? 549 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 10: I mean this is really just Canadian politicians scoring election points. 550 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 10: There's going to be a federal election coming up this 551 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 10: year in Canada. Everybody's trying to score points and they're 552 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 10: scoring these cheap political points at the expense of their 553 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 10: own economy and the welfare of their own people. Canada 554 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 10: has no cards, Steve, no cards. There's no leverage in 555 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 10: a trade war with the States. Just think about this. 556 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 10: Canada exports ten million tons of steel every year to 557 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 10: the States. That's eighty two percent of all the steel 558 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 10: made in the country. 559 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 1: Huh, President Trumps. The voice of Spencer Morrison's He's the 560 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 1: author of Reassuring, a new book on bringing manufacturing jobs 561 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 1: back to the United States. It is exquisite timing. I 562 00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 1: want to talk to Gray Delaney and all the people 563 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 1: is a Calamo who is just incredible timing on this book. 564 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 1: Are you you're using this an homage to Donald Trump 565 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 1: now as you're using his favorite phrase, you got no cards? 566 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,240 Speaker 1: Zelenski has no cards. That's true. Why does Canada have 567 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 1: no cards? Brother? They got They're providing Minnesota, Michigan, New 568 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 1: York with power. They've got all this product. They've got 569 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 1: half the under the hood materials components to Detroit, don't 570 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 1: they Whatever Toledo doesn't have, they've got up in Canada 571 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:31,840 Speaker 1: right there. Why do you say they have no cards? 572 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 1: I know Trump says it. Why does Spencer Morrison say it? 573 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 9: I'll tell you why. It's very easy. 574 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:42,280 Speaker 10: Canada exports seventy seven percent of it. Everything, everything that 575 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 10: Canada makes for export goes to the States. 576 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 9: America is the one stop shop for Canada. And you 577 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:49,680 Speaker 9: know what, Canada. 578 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 10: Even imports more from the States than they buy from them. 579 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:56,840 Speaker 10: Canada's economy is completely dependent on America's economy. You know 580 00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 10: how we talk about import dependency, and America is buying 581 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,960 Speaker 10: critical products from China. The amount that America buys from 582 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 10: China is a fraction compared to how dependent Canada's economy 583 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 10: is on the States. Canada's economy is like one of 584 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:13,120 Speaker 10: those little fish that hook onto a shark, right, it 585 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,720 Speaker 10: can't survive on its own. So if there's going to 586 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,600 Speaker 10: be a trade war between the two nations, there's just 587 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,480 Speaker 10: no way that Canada can win. It's too small. It'd 588 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 10: be like California trying to wage a trade war against 589 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 10: the rest of the nation. Totally makes no sense. 590 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 1: Okay, we didn't have time. We had a clip for 591 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 1: you about Walmart. I think Walmart the CEO is commenting 592 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:36,960 Speaker 1: on China. They're not particularly happy, as many of the 593 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 1: CEOs of this. And I can't still figure out. Call 594 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 1: me a simple guy. I can't figure if we're a 595 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 1: ten percent tariffs or President Trump had another ten or 596 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,479 Speaker 1: for a twenty percent and oh she knows this. What 597 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:52,240 Speaker 1: is Walmart whining about today about the China tariffs? And 598 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 1: what is your independent assessment? Spencer Morrison? 599 00:32:58,280 --> 00:32:59,040 Speaker 9: Well, China is. 600 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:03,960 Speaker 10: A distributor of of in general, very low cost, low 601 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:07,760 Speaker 10: quality goods that are exported from China. The entire Walmart 602 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:13,120 Speaker 10: business model is predicated upon getting, you know, goods from 603 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:16,400 Speaker 10: these third world countries and bringing them into the States. 604 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 10: The problem and they've profited, They've profited enormously off of this. 605 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 10: The problem is that done it off of the back 606 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 10: of American industry and American workers. 607 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 1: Uh. 608 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 10: In order for the Walmart model to be successful, you 609 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,800 Speaker 10: have to kill off American industry, and that pits them 610 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:35,560 Speaker 10: against the welfare of this nation. American needs to be 611 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,600 Speaker 10: a country that builds the future rather than buys it. 612 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:39,520 Speaker 1: Uh. 613 00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:44,040 Speaker 10: And you know, low cost wholesalers like Walmart or the 614 00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:48,600 Speaker 10: financial elites in Wall Street are profiting off of America's demise, 615 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:50,959 Speaker 10: and it's not good for the country. 616 00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:52,720 Speaker 9: It's not good for our people. What we need to 617 00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:53,400 Speaker 9: do is we need to. 618 00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 10: Reshore our industries so that we can revive the American dream. 619 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 1: Our guests is the author Spencer Morrison, the author of 620 00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,280 Speaker 1: the new book Restoring, which is central about the reindustrialization 621 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:09,760 Speaker 1: of America. The policies it's going to take, it's a 622 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:13,880 Speaker 1: very complimentary of President Trump's a business model cling tariffs. Believe, 623 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,640 Speaker 1: do you agree with all day long the pulling of 624 00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:20,200 Speaker 1: hair saying that President Trump is not messing. Let's say 625 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:22,400 Speaker 1: the policies are correct, and they don't agree with the policies, 626 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:26,960 Speaker 1: but they say the messaging is even worse. Between Lutnik Navarro, 627 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:30,520 Speaker 1: the President absent and as you know, we're very close to 628 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,560 Speaker 1: some of these guys. What's your independent assessment? Is this 629 00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:35,719 Speaker 1: being messaged correctly? Sir? 630 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,399 Speaker 10: I think there's two messages that are going out. There's 631 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:44,000 Speaker 10: message of President Trump is speaking to the ordinary common people, 632 00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:47,080 Speaker 10: and that message is very very well received. People love 633 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 10: the president. People have voted for this president like no 634 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:55,480 Speaker 10: one in history, and I think they trust him to 635 00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:57,279 Speaker 10: do the right thing. I mean, President Trump is a 636 00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,320 Speaker 10: business mogul. He knows it to make good deals. I 637 00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,439 Speaker 10: think everybody implicitly recognizes that. 638 00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:02,600 Speaker 1: But there is a very. 639 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,960 Speaker 10: Big disconnect between the ordinary people who sort of on 640 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,359 Speaker 10: a common sense basis, understand tariffs and understand that we've 641 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 10: got to bring the factories back because it's their jobs, 642 00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,640 Speaker 10: it's their lives that are being off short. But there's 643 00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,520 Speaker 10: a big disconnect between them and this sort of academic 644 00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:22,160 Speaker 10: elite and the academic the financial elite. They hate President 645 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,720 Speaker 10: Trump and they don't want to listen to his message 646 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,560 Speaker 10: on tariffs. And the reality is is that it's just 647 00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:30,279 Speaker 10: not being communicated to these people because there's very few 648 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,040 Speaker 10: people who are a part of America's sort of intellectual 649 00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:37,319 Speaker 10: elite who know anything about tariffs. There's just no one 650 00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:38,800 Speaker 10: writing about it. 651 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,920 Speaker 1: Well, let's talk about that for a second. Because all 652 00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:45,040 Speaker 1: day long, even my brother Eric Bowling says, because he 653 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:47,160 Speaker 1: came out of Fox, he says, hey, I love some 654 00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,239 Speaker 1: of the terrofts, but I don't like part of it. 655 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,879 Speaker 1: All day long, they're saying this attacks on the American vieple. 656 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:53,759 Speaker 1: This attacks on the American vieple. This attacks on the 657 00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:55,759 Speaker 1: American people. The consumer is going to suffer. This is 658 00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,880 Speaker 1: terrible for the consumer. President Trump doesn't care for the 659 00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:04,399 Speaker 1: little guy, Say you, sir. America was that it's most 660 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:08,440 Speaker 1: prosperous when our terriffs were the highest. Everybody knows that. 661 00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:13,480 Speaker 1: That's a point of financial history. It can't be overstated enough. 662 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:18,960 Speaker 1: The decline of America's industrial output, the decoupling between wages 663 00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,799 Speaker 1: and productivity. All of this happened after nineteen seventy four, 664 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:25,080 Speaker 1: when the tariff walls were abandoned, when the gold window 665 00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 1: was closed, and our factories were being offshore to all 666 00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,000 Speaker 1: sorts of countries. I mean, you look at the American 667 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,319 Speaker 1: economy since two thousand and one, when China join the 668 00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,840 Speaker 1: World Trade Organization, it's totally backwards. All the gains have 669 00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:40,560 Speaker 1: been going to the richest few people. Regular ordinary people 670 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:42,640 Speaker 1: have been losing their jobs. The middle class has been 671 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,680 Speaker 1: completely eviscerated, and people can't afford to live in the 672 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:46,759 Speaker 1: communities they grew up in. 673 00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:50,560 Speaker 10: This is because of global free trade. This is economic globalism. 674 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:52,960 Speaker 10: We don't need that. What we need to do is 675 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,720 Speaker 10: we need to protect main street. We need to protect 676 00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:59,400 Speaker 10: small businesses. We need to protect American manufacturers because the 677 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:04,480 Speaker 10: reality is is that local productive assets in the States 678 00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:06,920 Speaker 10: can't compete with the likes of China, who are using 679 00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:10,520 Speaker 10: slave labor, who are poisoning their water supplies, who are 680 00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:15,200 Speaker 10: engaging in all sorts of trade practices that we don't do, 681 00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:19,680 Speaker 10: like dumping and giving bad loans to corrupt businessmen. I mean, 682 00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,360 Speaker 10: these Chinese companies, Steve, you have to remember, they're in 683 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:25,920 Speaker 10: arm of the state. They can run negative balances for 684 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,880 Speaker 10: twenty years and they don't go out of business because 685 00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:31,480 Speaker 10: the Chinese government knows that once all the American companies 686 00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,719 Speaker 10: are dead, China's going to move in and they can 687 00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,520 Speaker 10: jack up the jack up the prices, and make all 688 00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:39,759 Speaker 10: the profits back that they've foregone for twenty years. That's 689 00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:41,920 Speaker 10: what Japan did to us with the Kritsu model. In 690 00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:44,799 Speaker 10: the nineteen eighties. It worked then, it's working now, and 691 00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:49,600 Speaker 10: America's political leads just haven't learned this. 692 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,280 Speaker 1: Spencer brings up a great point. This is in Prisident 693 00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:55,959 Speaker 1: Trump's first term with Bob Leithheuser and Peter Navarro, early 694 00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:59,200 Speaker 1: worked by myself and Stephen Miller, by Bly Harriser, finally 695 00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:02,880 Speaker 1: got in the May of twenty nineteen. The deal that 696 00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:07,360 Speaker 1: had seven different cured the seven original sins of the 697 00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:12,000 Speaker 1: Chinese companies, party, state, capitalism, and authoritarian model, which quite 698 00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:15,200 Speaker 1: frankly the Elitia the United States kind of copied. But 699 00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,759 Speaker 1: we had a deal that had been negotiated for a 700 00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:21,600 Speaker 1: year and a half virtually every day. By the way, 701 00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:23,200 Speaker 1: you see some movement that there at the front the 702 00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:25,840 Speaker 1: military aid we are going to jump our guests is 703 00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:30,560 Speaker 1: Spencer Morrison. The book is reshoring we're going to jump 704 00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:32,880 Speaker 1: live to the East room as soon as there's some 705 00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,400 Speaker 1: movement from the Prime Minister of Ireland and the President 706 00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:40,640 Speaker 1: of the United States. What Spencer's talking about is that 707 00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:46,360 Speaker 1: Lightheiser and Navarro had hammered out with Vice Premier leeha 708 00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:50,240 Speaker 1: over eighteen months, almost a two year period, a deal 709 00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:53,120 Speaker 1: that actually took care of this and or began to 710 00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:56,200 Speaker 1: take care of this of the excess capacity of state 711 00:38:56,239 --> 00:39:00,799 Speaker 1: owned industries, the ability of those state owned industries to 712 00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:04,920 Speaker 1: to basically drive down prices. And that deal was not 713 00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:08,600 Speaker 1: accepted by She and Juan Shi Shang at the last second. 714 00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,120 Speaker 1: And that's the same month, folks, that they declared a 715 00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,520 Speaker 1: people's war against the United States of America. This is 716 00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:21,920 Speaker 1: when warfare really started. Political warfare, cyber warfare, unrestricted warfare, 717 00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:24,919 Speaker 1: people's war against the United States of America. I said, 718 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:27,319 Speaker 1: we've been at war with the Chinese Companist Party for 719 00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:34,000 Speaker 1: a number of years. Spencer reshowing itself. Talk to me, 720 00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:37,160 Speaker 1: how complicated is that? I love the title, I love 721 00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:41,359 Speaker 1: the hook, but it's and you've seen Apple come into 722 00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:44,399 Speaker 1: five hundred billion dollars of capital investment here to bring 723 00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:48,320 Speaker 1: factories and jobs back. You've seen Taiwan manufacturing one hundred 724 00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,680 Speaker 1: billion dollars four years in Arizona. You've seen I think 725 00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:56,360 Speaker 1: today Asahi Brewery going to be in Wisconsin. It's making 726 00:39:56,400 --> 00:40:00,200 Speaker 1: Asahi super dry, and those days long ago, and I 727 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:02,080 Speaker 1: used to have a beer every now and again. I'd 728 00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:04,600 Speaker 1: love to say he's super dry. It's amazing. They said 729 00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:06,400 Speaker 1: they're going to build a big facility here in the 730 00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:11,320 Speaker 1: United States of America. You've got Honda, You've got Siemens, 731 00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:15,840 Speaker 1: You've got every category. Everybody's bringing jobs back. Is that reshoring? 732 00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:20,040 Speaker 1: Is that foreign companies coming and putting their capital work 733 00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:23,319 Speaker 1: in jobs, or is that Americans starting to reinvest back 734 00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,680 Speaker 1: here in the United States American companies, sir. 735 00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:29,480 Speaker 9: Well Steve, I think it's a bit of both. 736 00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:33,480 Speaker 10: I mean, ultimately, big companies and hedge funds, they're going 737 00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:38,200 Speaker 10: to respond to economic incentives. And if there's a huge 738 00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:42,719 Speaker 10: disincentive to investing in building factories abroad because you're going 739 00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:44,480 Speaker 10: to have to pay a really big tax you bring 740 00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:47,239 Speaker 10: the products back into America, it just doesn't make any 741 00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:49,600 Speaker 10: financial sense for them to do that. I mean, very 742 00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:51,640 Speaker 10: few businesses are going to go and open a factory 743 00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,200 Speaker 10: in China if they know that they have to pay 744 00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:57,320 Speaker 10: twenty five percent to bring their products back into the States. 745 00:40:57,560 --> 00:40:59,800 Speaker 10: It's just not going to happen. America is the biggest 746 00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:03,040 Speaker 10: see our market in the history of this world, and 747 00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:06,799 Speaker 10: we can use that buying power to build the most 748 00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:08,359 Speaker 10: productive economy in the. 749 00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:12,480 Speaker 1: History of Spencer, Spencer Hango, for one second, can you 750 00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:14,560 Speaker 1: hang with me?

They said, God 940 00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:25,000 Speaker 7: will never do this to us. Risking their lives, they 941 00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:28,640 Speaker 7: defended the church, and more than two centuries later, Saint 942 00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:32,160 Speaker 7: Patrick still stands as a beautiful testament to their incredible 943 00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:37,440 Speaker 7: resolve and bravery and the patron saint of the Emerald Isle. 944 00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:39,400 Speaker 3: And that's what it is, Saint Patrick. 945 00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:43,080 Speaker 7: So we have Saint Patrick's Day and we remember their courage, 946 00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:46,000 Speaker 7: and we honor the bravery of countless Irish Americans who 947 00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:49,600 Speaker 7: have kept our country safe, strong, prosperous, and free. And 948 00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:53,560 Speaker 7: I made a little talk with my friend right behind 949 00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:57,480 Speaker 7: me before at the Capitol and they gave me one 950 00:51:57,520 --> 00:51:59,120 Speaker 7: statistic that they don't have here. 951 00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:00,960 Speaker 3: I thought it was an amazing statistic. 952 00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:06,200 Speaker 7: Fifty percent of the people that won the Congressional Medal 953 00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:08,120 Speaker 7: of Honor or Irish. 954 00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:11,680 Speaker 3: Can you imagine? And I want to check on that 955 00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:16,560 Speaker 3: because that sounds to me, it's you know, it's just 956 00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:18,400 Speaker 3: that I want to pay him. Would you please have 957 00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:22,279 Speaker 3: that investigating, because how is that possible? Seriously, how is 958 00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:25,520 Speaker 3: that possible? I was very surprised to see that marriage. 959 00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:28,320 Speaker 7: Would you agree that that's possible with the Irish anything 960 00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:29,759 Speaker 7: with the Irish Act. 961 00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:31,239 Speaker 3: Now, think of it. 962 00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:34,759 Speaker 7: The Congressional Medal of Honors, the highest award you can 963 00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:38,920 Speaker 7: get in this country, and fifty percent, well they you 964 00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:40,800 Speaker 7: also have the Presidential Medal of Freedom. 965 00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:44,040 Speaker 3: But I will say the Presidential Medal of Freedom it's. 966 00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:47,920 Speaker 7: Much easier to I mean, you know, you get it 967 00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:51,160 Speaker 7: for achievement in something, but you don't have to take 968 00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:54,520 Speaker 7: many many bullets. Although there has been one bullet that 969 00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:59,399 Speaker 7: there's been one bullet that was not too good. I'm 970 00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:03,000 Speaker 7: the only one the presidential that they got that. But 971 00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:06,840 Speaker 7: think of that, fifty percent of the people that received 972 00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:12,520 Speaker 7: the Congressional Battle of Honor had Irish heritage and were. 973 00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:14,960 Speaker 3: Involved in some form with the Irish. And that's pretty good. 974 00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:16,640 Speaker 3: That's a pretty pretty big statement. 975 00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:19,800 Speaker 7: In close, I want to remember one more Irish American 976 00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:24,680 Speaker 7: patriot our nation lost this week.

And with that, 1002 00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:47,000 Speaker 7: I would like to ask t Shook Martin to say 1003 00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:47,680 Speaker 7: a few words. 1004 00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:50,800 Speaker 3: He's a very very special man in Ireland. 1005 00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:53,160 Speaker 7: As you probably know, he's a very popular guy, which 1006 00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:56,160 Speaker 7: is not easy in Ireland. And it's an honor to 1007 00:54:56,200 --> 00:55:00,200 Speaker 7: have both Mary and Michael here with us, because we 1008 00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:02,759 Speaker 7: really we've gotten to know each other very well and 1009 00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:03,760 Speaker 7: they're great people. 1010 00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:34,799 Speaker 3: Thank you very much, everybody. 1011 00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:25,600 Speaker 8: President Trump, distinguished guests, it is a singular honor to 1012 00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:29,080 Speaker 8: represent the people of Ireland as we gather to celebrate 1013 00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:34,360 Speaker 8: Saint Patrick's Day, the time honored tradition of the Shamrock 1014 00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:38,400 Speaker 8: Bowl ceremony is an important moment to reflect upon the 1015 00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:44,280 Speaker 8: relationship between our two countries, mister President, as you said 1016 00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:48,200 Speaker 8: on an earlier Saint Patrick's Date, and I quote, through 1017 00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:51,880 Speaker 8: trial and triumph, ups and downs, thick and thin, the 1018 00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:56,440 Speaker 8: extraordinary Irish people have stood by America's side, and America 1019 00:55:56,719 --> 00:56:01,000 Speaker 8: will always stand by Theirs. Or people have stood side 1020 00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:03,960 Speaker 8: by side for a long time. And next year, the 1021 00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:07,680 Speaker 8: United States marks the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of 1022 00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:11,920 Speaker 8: the Declaration of Independence. Of the fifty six signatories of 1023 00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:15,720 Speaker 8: that historic document, three were born on the island of Ireland, 1024 00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:20,600 Speaker 8: and many others were of Irish descent. Since then, Irish 1025 00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:24,439 Speaker 8: America has been at the heart of shaping this great nation. 1026 00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:30,200 Speaker 8: The ideals of liberty, democracy, and equality of opportunity forged 1027 00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:35,279 Speaker 8: in this country did much to inspire Irish independence. Our 1028 00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:41,600 Speaker 8: histories are interconnected because our people are interconnected. Today, As 1029 00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:44,160 Speaker 8: the President has said, more than thirty million people claim 1030 00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:48,920 Speaker 8: Irish ancestry in the United States. Those who came to 1031 00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:54,160 Speaker 8: America seeking refuge from poverty and hunger at home worked hard. 1032 00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:58,480 Speaker 8: They helped build the railroads that connected this country and 1033 00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:03,920 Speaker 8: the skylines that define it. Others served their communities and 1034 00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:10,680 Speaker 8: their adopted home as firefighters, teachers, nurses, doctors, policemen, and soldiers. 1035 00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:15,239 Speaker 8: Irish people can now be found in almost every industry 1036 00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:20,640 Speaker 8: and community across the United States. Mister President, Irish Americans 1037 00:57:20,960 --> 00:57:35,280 Speaker 8: have lived the American dream. I saw that for myself 1038 00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:38,600 Speaker 8: earlier this week in the great state of Texas, where 1039 00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:43,040 Speaker 8: I met Governor Greg Abbott, attended south By Southwest and 1040 00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:46,920 Speaker 8: learned about exciting economic opportunities that abound in their own 1041 00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:51,360 Speaker 8: star state. I met with Texan based companies using Ireland 1042 00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:54,240 Speaker 8: as a gateway into the European market, as well as 1043 00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:59,480 Speaker 8: the Irish companies investing in and buying from Texas. All 1044 00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:02,640 Speaker 8: across the United States, men and women go to work 1045 00:58:02,720 --> 00:58:07,280 Speaker 8: every morning in Irish owned companies. These companies play a 1046 00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:11,120 Speaker 8: key role in the US economy, operating in every sector 1047 00:58:11,520 --> 00:58:16,120 Speaker 8: in every state. Some of your great American manufacturing companies 1048 00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:20,800 Speaker 8: count Irish buyers as their top client, with order books 1049 00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:25,320 Speaker 8: worth many billions of dollars, supporting the jobs of thousands 1050 00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:29,720 Speaker 8: of fantastic American workers. Ireland is now in the top 1051 00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:33,280 Speaker 8: ten as a source of foreign direct investment in the 1052 00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:44,520 Speaker 8: United States. Not bad for a small island. Ireland likes 1053 00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:47,520 Speaker 8: to trade with United States, and the United States likes 1054 00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:50,520 Speaker 8: to do business with Ireland because we are strong and 1055 00:58:50,600 --> 00:58:55,720 Speaker 8: reliable partners. Mister President, Let's do even more and better together. 1056 00:58:56,880 --> 00:58:59,880 Speaker 8: In the past, Irish laborers came to help build the 1057 00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:04,080 Speaker 8: New Republic, the Beacon on the Hill. They even built 1058 00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:07,480 Speaker 8: this beautiful white House. They built the roads and the 1059 00:59:07,560 --> 00:59:12,440 Speaker 8: railroads that made this mighty Union possible. Today, Irish companies 1060 00:59:12,440 --> 00:59:16,000 Speaker 8: are building the infrastructure connecting the United States in the 1061 00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:21,040 Speaker 8: twenty first century. Throughout our great shared history, Ireland has 1062 00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:25,480 Speaker 8: played a role in bringing America closer. In doing so, 1063 00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:28,680 Speaker 8: we've been proud to help this make this country great, 1064 00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:34,040 Speaker 8: Mister President. American companies continue to invest in Ireland, where 1065 00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:38,600 Speaker 8: our access to the European market, talented workforce, and consistent 1066 00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:41,480 Speaker 8: and stable business environment makes us one of the best 1067 00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:45,080 Speaker 8: places in the world to do business. And just like 1068 00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:50,320 Speaker 8: our peoples and cultures, our economies are deeply interconnected. Investment 1069 00:59:50,360 --> 00:59:53,960 Speaker 8: in Ireland helps American companies sell their products across the world. 1070 00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:59,440 Speaker 8: Our island is home to a people with an outward perspective, 1071 01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:03,560 Speaker 8: generations of whom have looked to the United States for 1072 01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:09,160 Speaker 8: opportunity and inspiration. We've built prosperity through free and fair 1073 01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:12,840 Speaker 8: trade with partners all over the world, and particularly here 1074 01:00:13,080 --> 01:00:17,040 Speaker 8: in these United States. Let us continue to build on 1075 01:00:17,120 --> 01:00:22,240 Speaker 8: that foundation, bringing ever growing prosperity to both our great peoples. 1076 01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:26,000 Speaker 8: Let us continue to work together to make sure that 1077 01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:30,360 Speaker 8: we maintained that mutually beneficial two way economic relationship that 1078 01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:36,000 Speaker 8: has allowed innovation and creativity and prosperity to drive, Mister President, 1079 01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:40,040 Speaker 8: on Saint Patrick's Day in nineteen eighty one, in this House, 1080 01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:44,320 Speaker 8: President Ronald Reagan spoke of a just and peaceful solution 1081 01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:47,800 Speaker 8: to the conflict in Northern Ireland, and that was the 1082 01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:52,680 Speaker 8: start of an extraordinary journey. Seventeen years later, after enormous 1083 01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:57,120 Speaker 8: effort and commitment and dialogue and disagreement and sheer perseverance, 1084 01:00:57,640 --> 01:01:01,440 Speaker 8: we signed the Good Friday Agreement, signed a just and 1085 01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:05,440 Speaker 8: lasting peace into being, and the United States of America 1086 01:01:05,920 --> 01:01:09,360 Speaker 8: was at the very center of that magical moment of 1087 01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:16,480 Speaker 8: hope and inspiration. Successive presidents Republican and Democrat, cared enough 1088 01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:20,800 Speaker 8: to put in the late nights, the persuading, the cajoling, 1089 01:01:21,120 --> 01:01:27,200 Speaker 8: the negotiating, the encouraging, the influencing, and mister President. Seven 1090 01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:31,240 Speaker 8: hundred and twenty people were killed in that conflict and 1091 01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:35,520 Speaker 8: close to fifty thousand people were injured. In per capita terms, 1092 01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:39,680 Speaker 8: that's many millions of Americans, and just imagine that for 1093 01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:42,320 Speaker 8: a moment. In terms of the scale of what happened. 1094 01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:45,680 Speaker 8: It was the support of the United States of America 1095 01:01:46,240 --> 01:01:49,800 Speaker 8: that was essential in bringing that to an end, one 1096 01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:53,760 Speaker 8: of the greatest achievements of American foreign policy, with heartfelt 1097 01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:58,160 Speaker 8: commitment from both sides of the isle. The story of 1098 01:01:58,200 --> 01:02:02,680 Speaker 8: peace in Ireland is one that we wrote together. We 1099 01:02:02,880 --> 01:02:07,720 Speaker 8: know building peace is a difficult and painstaking task, but 1100 01:02:07,760 --> 01:02:11,200 Speaker 8: when the mighty United States of America puts its shoulder 1101 01:02:11,240 --> 01:02:14,400 Speaker 8: to the wheel. There is no mountain. It cannot move. 1102 01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:30,480 Speaker 8: Mister President, I welcome the unrelenting focus and energy you 1103 01:02:30,560 --> 01:02:34,200 Speaker 8: have brought to the search for peace in Ukraine and 1104 01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:45,320 Speaker 8: in the Middle East since your first days in office. 1105 01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:51,160 Speaker 8: In my view, there is nothing more noble President than 1106 01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:55,280 Speaker 8: the pursuit of peace, and this is what you are doing. 1107 01:03:02,560 --> 01:03:05,800 Speaker 8: Ireland is ready to work with you and our international 1108 01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:10,240 Speaker 8: partners to end conflict and especially to bring just, lasting 1109 01:03:10,280 --> 01:03:13,400 Speaker 8: and sustainable peace to the people of Ukraine and the 1110 01:03:13,400 --> 01:03:17,560 Speaker 8: people of the Middle East. Conflict and war hurt the 1111 01:03:17,600 --> 01:03:22,360 Speaker 8: most vulnerable. Too many children, in particular, have died in Gaza, 1112 01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:26,200 Speaker 8: in Israel, in Sudan, and too many children have been 1113 01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:30,480 Speaker 8: abducted in Ukraine. Let us together never cease to strive 1114 01:03:30,560 --> 01:03:35,080 Speaker 8: for peace, prosperity and opportunity for all the world's children. 1115 01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:39,120 Speaker 8: That would be an extraordinary achievement for the Transatlantic relationship 1116 01:03:39,640 --> 01:03:44,600 Speaker 8: and an extraordinary legacy for the ages. Mister President, County 1117 01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:47,640 Speaker 8: Claire is one of the most beautiful places on this 1118 01:03:47,840 --> 01:03:54,560 Speaker 8: art and Dune Beg is one of its finest jewels. 1119 01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:58,800 Speaker 8: One of Ireland's finest poets, and we've had a few, 1120 01:03:58,960 --> 01:04:03,280 Speaker 8: as you know, wrote of the beauty of County Claire 1121 01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:08,400 Speaker 8: along the Flaggy shore in September or October, when the 1122 01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:13,160 Speaker 8: wind and the light are working off each other, and 1123 01:04:13,320 --> 01:04:17,000 Speaker 8: he Ney wrote of how Ireland can catch the heart 1124 01:04:17,160 --> 01:04:21,120 Speaker 8: off guard and blow it open. I have been to 1125 01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:25,520 Speaker 8: that part of Claire and I know that that is true. 1126 01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:28,560 Speaker 8: Mister President. I hope that we can welcome you to 1127 01:04:28,680 --> 01:04:33,960 Speaker 8: Ireland soon to catch your own heart off guard. You 1128 01:04:34,080 --> 01:04:37,800 Speaker 8: know better than anyone the beauty of Dunbeg a place 1129 01:04:38,320 --> 01:04:42,000 Speaker 8: that would take anyone's breath away. God of Mila a 1130 01:04:42,080 --> 01:04:48,320 Speaker 8: Mahugut Benarchtine Feila padrig Uruvgalare, thank you very much indeed, 1131 01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:51,200 Speaker 8: and Happy Saint Patrick's Day to you all.
