1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: On our trade policies with Biden, we're losing five billion

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: dollars a day. How many how many groups could lose

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: five billion a day? If you lose five billion one day,

4
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 1: that's the end of that company. You fired, He says,

5
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: you fired, get out of here. So we essentially did that,

6
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: and we have it down to a very low number.

7
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: We're doing really well, really well.

8
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.

9
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 3: Good Tuesday morning.

10
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 4: Welcome, it is the forty seven Morning Update, Ben Ferguson

11
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 4: with you, and I want to say, first off, for

12
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 4: many of you that may be hearing this show for

13
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 4: the first time, thank you for joining us, and make

14
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 4: sure you hit that subscribe or auto download button so

15
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 4: you do not miss a single episode of the forty

16
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,279
Speaker 4: seven Morning Update. Now, we've got three big stories for you,

17
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 4: and the first one deals with your safety, as Donald

18
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 4: Trump has issued a major executive order restricting the funding

19
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 4: for gain of function research. I'll have all the details

20
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:58,319
Speaker 4: on this amazing moment in the Trump presidency on that

21
00:00:58,480 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 4: in just a second.

22
00:00:59,600 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 3: Up.

23
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 4: Now, pro immigration advocates losing their mind. Is Donald Trump's

24
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 4: Department of Homeland Security is now offering one thousand dollars

25
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 4: and a free fight for illegal immigrants who self deport

26
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 4: So why are they so against it? We'll have that

27
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 4: for you in just a moment as well. And finally,

28
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 4: Donald Trump has a big week at the White House,

29
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 4: meeting with Canada as well as talking with China on

30
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 4: trade negotiations. It's the forty seven Morning Update and it

31
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 4: starts right now.

32
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 3: Story number one. Common sense is back in the White House.

33
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 4: We all know that, but now we have a president

34
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 4: that's making sure that certain things that changed our world

35
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 4: forever may never happen again. President Donald Trump issuing a

36
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 4: very important executive order restricting federal funding for research that

37
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:54,559
Speaker 4: involves a controversial field of scientific study known as gain

38
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 4: of function research. Now, the research, which is also known

39
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 4: as quote dual use research, involves experimenting with viruses and

40
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 4: other pathogens that have the potential to trigger a pandemic.

41
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,519
Speaker 4: Those studies could discover how infectious agents might become more

42
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 4: transmissible or make people even sicker. This field has long

43
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 4: been controversial because of fears that scientists could make a

44
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,679
Speaker 4: more dangerous pathogen in their lap that could get out

45
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 4: and cause eight pandemic. Well, those concerns became a reality

46
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 4: with COVID nineteen, and those concerns have led to many

47
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 4: efforts over the years to more tightly monitor and control

48
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 4: this type of gain of function research. Now, many didn't

49
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 4: even know about gain of function research and what it

50
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 4: actually meant until COVID nineteen pandemic hit. One theory for

51
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 4: how the pandemic started says that these stars COVID two

52
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 4: virus which causes COVID nineteen, spilled out of that Chinese

53
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 4: Wuhan Institute of Virology.

54
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 3: Don't worry.

55
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 4: Our government at the time said no, no, no, that

56
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 4: didn't happen, and doctor Fauci was one of those involved.

57
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 3: You may also remember.

58
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 4: That doctor Fauci said that he wasn't funding gain of

59
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 4: function research technology, when in fact he absolutely was. And

60
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 4: when I say he was funding it, it means your

61
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 4: tax dollars were going exactly to that quote. Many people

62
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 4: believe that gain of function research was one of the

63
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 4: key causes of the COVID pandemic that struck us in

64
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 4: the last decade. That's the White House Secretary Will Scarf

65
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 4: set That is exactly what this executive order does. First

66
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 4: of all, it provides powerful new tools to enforce the

67
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 4: ban on federal funding of gain of function research abroad.

68
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 4: It also strengthens other oversight mechanisms related to that issue

69
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 4: and creates an overarching strategy to ensure that biomedical research

70
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 4: in general is being conducted safely. Many scientists have said, well,

71
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 4: hold on a second, we need to weigh the evidence

72
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 4: and understand that pandemics can happen, and that we can

73
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 4: learn from them when they do happen. When the reality

74
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 4: is as well, we know where this started, and it

75
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 4: wasn't in China in the wet market. It was in

76
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 4: the Wuhan Institute of Virology where they were doing gain

77
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 4: of function research. Now, according to the White House, the

78
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 4: executive order would block any US funding of gain of

79
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 4: function research and countries of concern such as China and Iran,

80
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 4: as well as other foreign nations deemed to have insufficient

81
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 4: research oversight. The order also prohibits US tax dollars from

82
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 4: contributing to foreign research likely to cause another pandemic, and

83
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 4: also US dollars in general. The order also quote empowers

84
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 4: American research agencies to identify an in federal funding of

85
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 4: other biological research that could pose a threat to American

86
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 4: public health, public safety, or national security that according to

87
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 4: the White House's own fact sheet on this issue in

88
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 4: executive order, the order will quote increase the safety security

89
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:05,239
Speaker 4: of biological research without impending US innovation. The White House

90
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 4: also issued statements from several top Trump administration officials who

91
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 4: argued the funding restriction is quote necessary. The Health and

92
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 4: Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior put it this way, saying, quote,

93
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 4: I commend President Trump for his courage and his vision.

94
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 4: This is a historic day, is what doctor J. Bodicari,

95
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 4: the director of the National Institute of Health, said. The

96
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 4: conduct of this research does not protect us against pandemics,

97
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 4: as some people might say. It doesn't protect us against

98
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 4: other nations. There's always a danger in doing this research.

99
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 4: It might leak out just by accident even and cause

100
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 4: a pandemic. It is crazy to think the entire nightmare

101
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 4: was probably the result of some scientists messing with Mother

102
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 4: Nature and a laboratory with technology, is what the Food

103
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 4: and Drug Administration Commissioner doctor Marty Mcarrey said about Donald

104
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 4: Trump's executive order. At the end of the day, what

105
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 4: you need to know is this, the President knew there

106
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 4: was a problem. He knew the Gang of Function research

107
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 4: was out of control. He knew that your tax dollars

108
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 4: should not be going to adversaries like China and Iran,

109
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 4: and he's stopping it once and for all.

110
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 3: Next story number two.

111
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 4: Media going crazy because they're actually having to cover a

112
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 4: brilliant idea from the Trump administration, the ideas to save

113
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 4: American taxpayer's money while also getting deportations underway in a

114
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 4: very serious way. With a large number of people self deporting.

115
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 4: How does it work? We're going to pay them to

116
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 4: do it. The Trump administration has now come out saying

117
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 4: they are willing to pay one thousand dollars to an

118
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 4: undocumented immigrant who self deports. The Department of Homeland Security

119
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 4: announcement will provide travel assistance and a thousand dollars stipend

120
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 4: to those who use the CBP home app to actually

121
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 4: leave the United States of America. The Department of Home

122
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 4: When Security says, we are intensifying our efforts to persuade

123
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 4: unauthorize immigrants to self deport by offering them the thousand

124
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 4: dollars stipend in the travel assistance. This will save Americans money. Now,

125
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 4: the best part about this story is the fact that

126
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 4: the media is actually having to cover it and they

127
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 4: don't know how to criticize it, but they don't like it.

128
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 4: CBS News putting a big story out there, and here's

129
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 4: how they explained it to their audience.

130
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 3: So, Willie, how would this actually work?

131
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 5: It is, Juliet, good to be with you on this

132
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 5: Monday afternoon.

133
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 3: Well, the Trump.

134
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 5: Administration is looking to deport migrants this way in large

135
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 5: part because it would save the government money. That's part

136
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 5: of the thinking here.

137
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 3: A Department of.

138
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 5: Homeland Security official will explain that it costs about seventeen

139
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 5: thousand dollars to find and apprehend in a migrant who

140
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 5: is undocumented here in the United States and to port them,

141
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 5: so this could potentially save the government one thousands of

142
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 5: dollars per person. And the President spoke about this earlier today.

143
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,679
Speaker 6: Listen, but what we thought we'd do is a self

144
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 6: deport where we're going to pay each one a certain

145
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 6: amount of money, and we're going to get them a

146
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 6: beautiful flight back to where they came from, and they

147
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 6: have a period of time and if they make it,

148
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 6: we're going to work with them so that maybe someday,

149
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 6: with little work, they can come back in if they're

150
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 6: good people, if they're the kind of people that we

151
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 6: want in our company, industrious people that could love our country,

152
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 6: and if they're not, they won't.

153
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 5: Now, the way that migrants can sign up for this

154
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 5: program is by using the CBP home app.

155
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 3: That is the.

156
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 5: App that was used under the Biden administration for migrants

157
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 5: to register themselves here who they could be, the government

158
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 5: could have information about them and their status here in

159
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 5: the United States. But the Trump administration is using this

160
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 5: as a way for migrants to not only register themselves,

161
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 5: but to self deport as well. So the government looking

162
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 5: to save some money here, you're looking to collect some

163
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 5: information from those undocumented migrants.

164
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 3: And I'll add that.

165
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 5: The effort to deport migrants has really been slowed by

166
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,959
Speaker 5: the courts. We've seen the Trump ministration try to deport

167
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 5: migrants in different ways, using the Alien Enemies Act, for instance,

168
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 5: But this way in particular, quite a novel idea that

169
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 5: the Trump administration is using, but one that they believe

170
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 5: could save the government thousands of dollars per individual.

171
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 4: Julia, by the way, not thousands, tens of thousands of

172
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 4: dollars per immigrant illegal. Let's just call them what it is.

173
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 4: Legal Now, the left is just losing their mind. Pro

174
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 4: immigration advocates are slamming the Department of Home and Security,

175
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 4: the Trump administration offering this money. They are denouncing it,

176
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 4: and they're quote urging illegal migrants to reject President Donald

177
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 4: Trump's offer of one thousand dollars in the free airline

178
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 4: ticket to leave the country. Quote this opinion might be

179
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 4: worse for people who take advantage of it, claimed Aaron Kreshelan,

180
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 4: a pro immigration advocate for the Immigration Council Advocacy group.

181
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,439
Speaker 4: Quote for people illegal immigrants in immigration court, it would

182
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 4: likely mean a deportation order. For others not detained for deportation,

183
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 4: it would abandon clear options for staying. So they're saying,

184
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:19,559
Speaker 4: dig in, don't take de bait, don't leave America. Steven

185
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 4: Miller putting out a tweet putting it this way, The

186
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 4: savings are as much as one million per illegal alien family,

187
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 4: given the long term costs of free welfare and public support.

188
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 4: And that is exactly why the Trump administration is now saying,

189
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 4: we are willing to begin paying for the commercial flights

190
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 4: of illegal aliens who self deport from the US. We

191
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 4: will pay these aliens in additional thousand dollars once they

192
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 4: are confirmed have left the country, the Department of Oland

193
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:53,199
Speaker 4: Security telling Fox News it will save American taxpayers seventy

194
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 4: percent as it currently costs DHS on average over seventeen

195
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 4: thousand to arrest, detain, and to port someone from the

196
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 4: US while paying for self removal flights, and the stipend

197
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 4: has protected to cost just four thy five hundred and

198
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 4: also will be safer for ice and preserve their resources.

199
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 4: Illegal aliens here's the rules. Must register on the CBP

200
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 4: home app and file their notice to leave the US

201
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 4: in order to receive the financial assistance, and the stipend

202
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 4: will only be paid once the alien is confirmed to

203
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 4: have left the United States.

204
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 2: And here is story number three.

205
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 4: President Donald Trump is fresh office, hundred days in office,

206
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 4: and now we are getting worried that his administration has

207
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 4: no plan to slow down in the coming weeks, months,

208
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 4: or even years. This week, we're celebrating the most successful

209
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 4: first one hundred days of any presidential administration in the

210
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 4: history of our country. Is what Trump had to say

211
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 4: as he was addressing the University of Alabama on Thursday

212
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 4: at his commencement speech.

213
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 3: Fast forward to week sixteen.

214
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 4: Back in the Oval Office, and we now know what's

215
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 4: happening when it comes to the issue of trade with

216
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 4: The President is meeting with Canada's new leader and having

217
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 4: ongoing talks as well between Russia and Ukraine, and trade

218
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 4: negotiations with foreign nations are also expected to continue heating

219
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 4: up at the White House today. Now the Canadian Prime

220
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 4: Minister to visit the White House and a major point

221
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 4: that they will be speaking about will be how they

222
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 4: can work on their trade deal.

223
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 3: Now.

224
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 4: Carney's Liberal party emerged victorious in the nation's federal elections

225
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 4: last week, and now they will discuss the twenty five

226
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 4: percent tariff imposed on goods from the nation sent to

227
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 4: the US and Trump's repeated urging that the US northern

228
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 4: neighbor become the fifty first state.

229
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 3: Yes, it's still kind of a joke.

230
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 4: We are meeting as heads of our government, Carney said

231
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 4: Friday of the upcoming meeting. And I'm not pretending that

232
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 4: those discussions will be easy, he said.

233
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 3: Now.

234
00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 4: Trump added during his cabinet meeting with members on Thursday

235
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 4: that he said it was important that America get a

236
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 4: fair trade deal with Carne after Canada's elections, and predicted

237
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 4: they would have a quote great working relationship, saying he's

238
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 4: going to come to the White House very shortly, within

239
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 4: the next week or less, and everything will be on

240
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 4: the table. We also are finding out there's some movement

241
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 4: with China, as Beijing is evaluating trade negotiation offer as well.

242
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:28,559
Speaker 4: In fact, China's Commerce Ministry is now said publicly that

243
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 4: they are in negotiations with the US and that officials

244
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 4: are quote evaluating an offer from the Trump administration to

245
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 4: hold trade talks on the one hundred and forty five

246
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 4: percent US tariffs on Chinese goods. This is signaling it

247
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 4: could be a very busy week of discussions if China

248
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 4: accepts the offer.

249
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 3: Quote.

250
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 4: The US has recently taken the initiative on many occasions

251
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 4: to convey information in China through relevant parties, saying it

252
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 4: hopes to talk with China. That coming from a new

253
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 4: report from Reuters. So what is the President doing, Well,

254
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 4: it's the art of the deal. He's attempting to use

255
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 4: the talks to get a better deal for American taxpayers

256
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 4: and also so that the world can go back to

257
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 4: more of a normal trading capacity. Back and forth, Trump

258
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 4: and the administration made it clear we're not going to

259
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 4: be taken advantage of, and neither will American workers. But

260
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 4: we're willing to hold trade negotiation with China, including the

261
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 4: President saying on April the eighth that we are waiting

262
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 4: for their call.

263
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 3: It will happen now.

264
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 4: The President said on NBC News Is Meet the Press

265
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 4: on Sunday that he will not drop the tariffs to

266
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 4: bring China to the negotiating table. He said that is

267
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 4: a non starter, so the present still holding firm, but

268
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 4: saying we're more than ready to have a real talk

269
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 4: about changing the way that America has been taken advantage of.
