WEBVTT - Andy Levy & Gov. Andy Beshear 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:04.160 Hi, I'm Molly John Fast and this is Fast Politics, 0:00:04.360 --> 0:00:07.160 where we discussed the top political headlines with some of 0:00:07.160 --> 0:00:12.399 today's best minds. And in Trump's first one hundred days, 0:00:12.920 --> 0:00:18.320 the word Biden was his fifth most frequently used, According 0:00:18.400 --> 0:00:22.680 to a Time analysis of transcripts of Trump's public remarks, 0:00:23.000 --> 0:00:24.640 we have such a great show. 0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:25.200 For you today. 0:00:25.920 --> 0:00:31.479 As the world churns, host Andy Levy stops by to 0:00:31.640 --> 0:00:37.080 talk about Trump's meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Carney and 0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:42.440 Trump's complete inability to understand how trade works. Then we 0:00:42.479 --> 0:00:47.239 will talk to Kentucky Governor Andy Burscher about how to 0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:50.760 deliver to your constituents and help their lives. 0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:52.960 But first the news Somali. 0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:56.920 Some things in this world they're not for sale, and 0:00:56.960 --> 0:01:01.040 apparently one of them is Canada, because mister Mark Carney 0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:03.440 told that that Trump today and a lot of people 0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:06.240 were saying he may not have the Riz of Justin 0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:09.160 Trudeau to stand up to him, But I have to 0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:10.840 say I think he did a good job today. 0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:13.400 Oh I'm glad you got Riz in there. 0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:18.800 Listens, kids, Yes, my kids actually abanned me from saying 0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:22.440 the word rez. One of the ways in which we 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:27.200 upset them is when my husband says, your mother has riz. 0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:29.200 That gets them very upset. 0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:31.360 How do they feel about you dressing chugi? 0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:33.800 I don't know what chugi means. We'll talk about this. 0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:36.679 We're getting Is it fat? Is cheugy fat? 0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:37.760 No doubt it's not. 0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:40.800 I think you might want it. We've just come off 0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:43.240 the raist. Canada is not for sale. Let's just talk 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:45.360 about this for a minute. So one of the things 0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:49.760 Trump invites the press in. He talks the press. He 0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:52.880 you know, talks back and forth. This was like the 0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:58.400 second time he's met Carney. Carney, he really did antagonize Trudeau. 0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:01.600 The whole fifty first day thing was meant to be 0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:06.280 kind of a way of antagonizing Trudeau. Now, Carney is 0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:11.200 like the dream politician for this moment. If I were Canada, 0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:14.800 this would be my dream. He has managed Brexit, he 0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:18.079 was able to try to manage Brexit. He's a free trader, 0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:21.120 he's an economist, and he's been able to handle living 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:24.880 over a crackhouse, which is what Canada is experiencing right now. 0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:29.000 We are the people who are smoking crack and our government. 0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:32.040 It's interesting to see him try to push back against Trump. 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:35.320 So he starts off like a lot of European leaders 0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:38.720 have with some success. You know, mister Trump, you're the 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:42.440 biggest and tallest and most beautiful, real sort of pravda 0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:47.480 kind of North Korean, the kind of Mussolini esque praise 0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:52.680 that Trump needs. Then he says, you know, Canadian people 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:56.079 who he represents. I mean, we've you know what's nice 0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:59.840 about Trump is he's completely forgotten about the whole elected 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:03.440 for the people by the people. So Carney says, well, 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:06.560 the Canadian people don't want to be a fifty first state. 0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:09.640 They've pretty definitively said that that's not what they want, 0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:13.320 you know. And then Trump's sort of what is interesting 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:17.280 if there's something to be gleaned from this dysfunction, which 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:21.320 is that you do see Trump he says, at one point, 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:23.440 you know, it's not going to be as bad as 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:28.400 it was when I was so mean, and I shouldn't 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:31.360 be laughing to the President of Ukraine, because he did 0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:34.600 say in that meeting where you had the vice president 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:37.200 being horrible to him, there was that he said, you know, 0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:38.800 this is not as combative as that. 0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:43.400 I guess that's good. I don't know. I mean, Canada has. 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:46.560 Been our number one trading partner of Canada and Mexico. 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:50.440 This is a completely self created crisis is that we're 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:55.320 trying to manage. Now, completely self created crisis is because 0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:57.600 there are many that were trying to manage. But I 0:03:57.720 --> 0:04:00.320 felt for Carney and there was certainly a moment there 0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:03.600 when Trump was trying to explain he wants to stop 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:06.480 buying Canadian cars, where it felt like he did not 0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:09.840 quite get what was going on and how any of 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:10.400 this works. 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:15.400 So the Supreme Court has allowed mister Trump's administration to 0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:20.520 enforce the transgender military bin and uh, yeah, that's just lovely. 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:21.120 Yeah. 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:25.119 I mean again, this is like to sort of aside here. 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:30.080 Main Governor Janet Mills told Trump World they could not 0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:35.000 take away federal funds because Trump was they were trying 0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:38.000 to sort of do this anti trans stuff with the schools, 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:41.800 and she won in court. So a lot of times 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:45.320 this stuff is pretty blatantly unconstitutional. 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:47.240 And now you have to remember we have this very. 0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:52.800 Conservative court that has decided that discrimination is okay. Right, 0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:55.920 I mean that's really what we're saying here. Right, They're 0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:58.720 allowing Trump to enforce transgender military band. 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:00.320 They're doing that. 0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:05.640 That's discrimination, right, You're discriminating against transgender people and the 0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:10.400 Supreme Court is allowing it. Look, ultimately, this Supreme Court 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:15.279 may sort of be able to stop some of the 0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:17.120 really scary stuff that Trump's going to do. 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:20.120 But ideologically they are saying. 0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:23.719 That discrimination is okay and that I think needs to 0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:27.359 I mean, you know, this is should not This is 0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:30.440 what this court is is very conservative court that he 0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:33.880 is very much in the tank for a lot of 0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:37.120 the stuff that we know is not okay. 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:41.880 Yeah. So when Mitch McConnell decided to step aside of 0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:45.760 being the Senate majority leader, many people wondered this, Tom 0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:48.559 tillis fella. I haven't heard much about him over the years. 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:50.919 He's kind of had a low profile. How is he 0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:53.280 going to rule? And I think we got an interesting 0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:53.960 hint today. 0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:59.279 So Tom tillis again, when you get brave right before 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:03.320 you're up for election, that I think should be noted. 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:08.680 That's not bravery, that's just like trying to survive trump Ism. 0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:12.479 For example, there were two high profile people who have 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:17.520 decided not to run in twenty twenty six. They are 0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:22.680 New new in New Hampshire and Brian Kemp in Georgia. 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:26.679 And you could say they're doing it because they don't 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:29.239 agree with trump Ism or their principal, but they're really 0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:31.320 doing it because they know that Trump's going to be 0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:33.479 a drag on the midterms, and they know it's not 0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:37.400 politically expedient. They've waited this long, They'll wait a little longer. 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:40.880 And I think there's a similar motivation behind this. Till 0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:43.720 his nose he's up. He likes to be in the Senate, 0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:46.680 or maybe he's going to resign, but I think I 0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:49.000 think he's going to try to run again. And North 0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:53.760 Carolina is not Alabama, right, it's a pretty purple state, 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:56.640 and so you know he's going to vote against some 0:06:56.920 --> 0:07:00.440 of the really insane nominees Ed Martin, so he wants 0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:03.120 to be the new top prosecutor in DC. 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:07.720 He is. I just want to give you a few reasons. 0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:11.520 Why he's completely I mean, he's just famous. Like go 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:15.920 on his Twitter and you will be really freaked out. 0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:18.160 This guy is not what you want. 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:21.880 He's not fit for office. So, in an interesting turn, 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:26.520 many people were hoping that after Jerry Connelly unfortunately has 0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:29.720 stepped down as head of Oversight, that AOC would run, 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:33.400 But she is going to stay on her position as 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:35.680 the Energy and Commerce. 0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:40.200 Committee yeah, she said, the dynamics have not changed. So 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:45.880 Connolly is stepping down. Then there Eleanor Holmes Norton has 0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:49.240 put her hat in the ring. She is eight thousand 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:54.040 years old. The Daily Caller was delighted to draw attention 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:58.040 to that. But there are other people on that committee 0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:04.720 who are extremely good communicators, and they are Garcia Rocanna, 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:12.080 Melanie Stansberry, who's freshman, Greg ciz Are, summer Lee, Maxwell Frost. 0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:14.000 I mean, there are a lot of people on that 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:17.840 committee who would be great to have on there as 0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:21.080 the ranking. This committee is such an insane I mean, 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:24.800 and oversight is such an insane on the Republican side, 0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:28.320 I mean, you have just the craziest Marjorie Taylor, Green 0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:33.520 beaupert Ana, Paulina Luna, Nancy Mace, Andy Biggs, I mean, 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:39.000 Paul Gosar, I mean, just craziness. But yeah, I mean, look, 0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:43.280 I think that this is a real opportunity here to 0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:46.080 elevate someone who's not ten thousand years old and no 0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:49.440 one's ever heard of. We'll see what happens. I don't 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:50.800 want to get my hopes up. 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:54.680 Get your hopes up that we don't have ten thousand. 0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:55.720 Years years old. 0:08:56.160 --> 0:09:03.280 Yeah, Andy Levy is the host of the new podcast 0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:06.840 As the World Churns, which you can find on your 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:11.080 favorite podcast player, and he is the former host of 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:12.560 the new Abnormal. 0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:13.800 Here we Go, Andy Levy. 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:16.120 Molly john First. 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:19.920 Welcome back chart rated podcaster Andy Levy. 0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:22.560 That's your Yeah, I know, I'm so bad. 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:23.400 It's self promotion. 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:27.480 Yeah, Molly is talking about the new podcast that Daniel 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:30.920 Moody and I have launched this week, As the World Churns. 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:34.000 You can find it anywhere you get your podcasts and 0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:35.359 also on YouTube. 0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:39.400 So let's talk today. Donald Trump. You may have heard 0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:42.559 of him. He had a meeting with Mark Karney, the 0:09:42.920 --> 0:09:48.040 newly elected Prime Minister of Canada, and it was, I 0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:52.040 have to say, incredible they did, because Trump is good 0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:55.679 at getting people's attention, which is something Democrats could absolutely 0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:56.160 learn from. 0:09:56.440 --> 0:09:57.199 He invited the. 0:09:57.120 --> 0:10:00.480 Pool spray in and there he explained to that that 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:03.440 he has no idea how trade works, and it was 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:08.720 a pretty amazing moment in which he said yes, so Carney, 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:11.439 who was like very smart and knows how to do 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:15.240 stuff and was involved in the disaster that is Brexit, 0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:19.760 trying to keep Britain from ruining itself, which spoiler he 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:20.760 was not able to do. 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:22.360 Said, well, you know, we have all. 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:25.439 These cars where they're made partially in Canada and partially 0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:28.640 in the United States, which is true. You know, you 0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:31.000 have these car parks that go back and forth to 0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:34.040 different factories. And the whole idea here is that you 0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:37.760 shouldn't tear if things multiple times, and Trump said, yeah, 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:41.160 but we don't want to buy Canadian cars anymore. We 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:44.240 only want to buy American cars. Are we all going 0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:44.840 to die? 0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:46.680 I don't know that I've ever had. 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:48.200 This is the guy that supposed to be a businessman, 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:51.760 like I keep being told that in this businessman billionaire 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:54.680 mixed deals. This is a guy who I guess steals 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:58.760 today said that we don't care about accessing foreign markets. Tatum, 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:02.320 that's good to come. I think as a surprise to 0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:05.120 a lot of American companies. Maybe I'm wrong because I 0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:06.839 don't you know, look, I don't want to argue with 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:10.240 the business genius. It's entirely possible that I'm wrong. But 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:15.320 my understanding of economics is that you want as many 0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:19.960 people as possible to buy your products, to buy your services, 0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:24.199 and that means you don't care really where they live 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:27.920 in the world. So you know, Am I wrong, Molly? 0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:28.760 Am I wrong? 0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:33.040 I'm excited to tear off foreign films, the cash cow 0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:34.559 that is foreign films. 0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:38.000 Yeah, but you have always and this is one thing, 0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:40.600 and you know, a lot of us we talk about 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:43.280 this about you off air. You've always had a jingoistic 0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:47.400 streak always, it really does. It borders on the xenophobic, 0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:51.679 and you are apt to be muttering those damn foreigners 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:55.160 a lot. I give you credit because you've managed to 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:57.520 keep that. I guess until now you've got just keep 0:11:57.600 --> 0:11:59.760 that sort of private sort of you haven't done it 0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:04.000 on your podcasts or i'm MSNBC, but not yet. But 0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:06.480 the fact, but the fact of the matter is now 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:10.880 the world knows exactly what you are. So I guess 0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:13.920 I understand why you sort of agree with Trump here. 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:17.199 Yeah, I mean, certainly we don't need those foreigner Well, 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:20.520 he is a genius. No, listen, Yeah, it is very stupid. 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:25.040 This is very very stupid. But the good I think 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:28.599 like we are careening into what seems like it is 0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:33.240 about to be an economic disaster completely of Trump's making. 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:36.839 I feel like the one bright spot here is that 0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:39.400 it undermines the authoritarianism. 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:42.760 Well, it undermines the authoritarianism. By that, do you mean 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:47.000 there are people in this country who might support Trump 0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:48.280 on the authoritarianism. 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:50.640 Yeah, there are quite a lot of people in this country. 0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:54.520 I think it's fair to say for whom attacking universities 0:12:54.559 --> 0:13:00.199 and disappearing grad students is not a disqualifier or a problem, right, 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:03.640 you you know, it's it's not good. They don't even 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:05.839 I don't think they even think it's particularly bad, right, 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:10.120 They just are okay with it. But crashing the economy 0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:14.920 for no reason that actually does seem to have gotten 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:19.600 even the people for whom you know, the rest of 0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:22.120 trump Ism is fine, pretty pissed. Yeah. 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:24.959 No, I think that's right. And I do think that, like, 0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:28.600 like you said, the people who either are gung ho 0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:33.800 about shutting down those damn elite universities and about cancer, 0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:37.160 yeah exactly, and kidnapping people and sending them to a 0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:41.600 foreign country because their skin is darker than ours. The 0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:44.200 people who are either gung ho for that, or they're 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:46.960 okay with it, or they simply don't care. They are 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:50.280 all going to care about, as you said, about if 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:55.160 the economy crashes and they can't afford things, and they 0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:57.840 look at their dolls. Well, that's the other thing. It's like, 0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:02.760 I'm older. Remember I was working at Fox News when 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:06.800 Bernie Sanders said something about you know, it was about 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:08.960 deodor it's and he was talking about how you go 0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:10.560 into a drug store and they are like, you know, 0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:13.320 thirty forty different brands of deodorant. He's like, that's crazy, 0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:16.480 we don't need that. And the outrage at Fox News 0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:19.200 when he said this, how dare he? How dare he 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:22.720 say we don't need all those choices? That's capitalism. And 0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:25.480 we've gone from that to of course, the same people 0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:28.680 who were saying that supporting the president who is out 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:31.040 there saying, you know, you only need two dolls. 0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:34.080 It's funny because on this podcast you're about to hear 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:35.400 me interview Andy Beshore. 0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:39.440 It's Andy Day, It's Andy Day on whatever his politics. 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:42.800 And Andy said, it's not the difference between thirty five 0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:45.320 dollars and two dollars. It's the difference between two dollars 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:49.400 and no dolls. And as someone who really has come 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:51.760 from a lot of privilege, it didn't occur to me 0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:56.160 because as much as I, you know, understand that people 0:14:56.200 --> 0:14:58.960 who have less than I do, or who have been 0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:02.720 discriminated again, have a harder time. In some ways, it 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:05.840 didn't occur to me. I was as much guilty of 0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:10.000 the Trump affluent affluenza, you know, the way of thinking, 0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:14.480 as as anyone, because I thought there, you know, I thought, well, 0:15:14.520 --> 0:15:17.120 that's not a message anyone's going to like. But what 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:20.760 Andy Bushers said is exactly right. It's it's not it's 0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:23.560 two dollars or no dolls, and and we're going to 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:26.240 have and there's going to be a Christmas where because 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:29.560 we already see the shipping, and we already see China 0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:32.400 and the toy manufacturing, and we just saw Mattel saying 0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:35.520 toys are going to be more expensive. So this is 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:39.320 not going to be a you know, they're a two 0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:42.200 dollars versus thirty five dollars Christmas. It's going to be 0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:44.840 people without toys. 0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:46.760 Yeah, and our children, not. 0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:50.920 People children, right, children or adults without toys. 0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:53.480 Adult adults gonna have toys. 0:15:53.720 --> 0:15:56.120 If you're an adult and you don't get anything for Christmas, 0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:58.480 it is not that you are not talking about in 0:15:58.560 --> 0:15:59.960 therapy twenty years later. 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:02.920 Wow, okay, Gritch, I just want to say that, you know, 0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:04.920 when we're talking about adults, we don't call them dollars. 0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:06.880 We call them action figures. That's very important. 0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:10.800 PlayStation four five, thank you seven. It's going to be 0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:11.520 more expensive. 0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:13.840 I know. I'm glad I have it already, and I've 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:16.400 been talking to some other people about this, and I 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:19.400 am like convincing myself to buy stuff now that I 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:22.160 don't necessarily need, but like, you know, know that I 0:16:22.240 --> 0:16:25.360 kind of want because I'm like, it's it's only smart 0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:27.720 to buy it now before these tariffs really kick in. 0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:30.800 I'm saving myself money, is what I'm doing. I'm being 0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:33.000 smart by buying all these things. 0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:33.240 Now. 0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:35.520 If we're going into our own mental on this for 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:38.440 a minute, I was saying, when are we not you 0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:41.520 and I together, we're just diving into mental in this here. 0:16:41.720 --> 0:16:44.800 But I was like, you know, I need more paper towels, 0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:47.160 like the tariffs are going to hit the paper. 0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:50.040 House right Well, the tariffs may not, but the shelves 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:50.640 may be bare. 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:52.920 I mean, so I was like, I'm going to need 0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:55.840 to buy seventy dollars worth of paper house right now. 0:16:55.960 --> 0:16:59.240 Look, everything I've been reading is that. And as you 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:02.000 alluded to the shipping earlier, that you know the ports 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:05.120 are not as crowded as they were, and they're they're 0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:08.200 continuing the ports in America and they're continuing to become 0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:12.080 less and less crowded. And you know, I've seen people 0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:15.400 talking about how as early as later this month, we're 0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:17.960 going to really be noticing it at at the store, 0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:21.320 you know. So my I think my point here is 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:25.000 that I may be stopping by Molly to get some paper. 0:17:24.720 --> 0:17:27.360 Talks, and I may not be giving them. You know him, 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:28.760 I think, no, no. 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:30.159 You. 0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:34.520 During COVID too, You're like, I'm order surrounded. You made 0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:36.040 like a toilet paper roll for it. 0:17:36.440 --> 0:17:36.720 And you. 0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:41.480 The episode of CARB where they go into the closet 0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:44.880 and they realize that that once his name is in order, 0:17:44.920 --> 0:17:47.160 he's such a great guy, but he's actually he's got 0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:50.800 all the toilet paper. And it's incredible when you think 0:17:50.840 --> 0:17:53.320 about it, that we have made the stupidest person in 0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:57.280 America president and then we have made him the most powerful. 0:17:56.880 --> 0:17:59.639 President in modern political history. 0:17:59.800 --> 0:18:03.040 I've always felt that sometimes there are like the president 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:05.760 can only do so much with the economy, and I 0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:09.040 feel like sometimes presidents get too much blame or too 0:18:09.080 --> 0:18:11.879 much credit for the state of the economy. But with 0:18:12.359 --> 0:18:15.480 what's happening now and what's gonna probably continue to happen. 0:18:15.920 --> 0:18:19.800 This is solely Donald Trump's fault. I mean, it's it's 0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:23.800 nobody else's fault, not counting to sycophants around him and 0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:26.800 in the Republican Congress. But this is this is like 0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:30.760 a self made recession which may turn into a self 0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:34.639 made global depression, all because of this one guy. It's 0:18:34.720 --> 0:18:38.800 really I don't think it has a like there's no 0:18:38.920 --> 0:18:42.200 reference point for this in our lives. I don't think 0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:44.879 molly like, well, we could say this, oh, this is 0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:47.520 just like when this president did that. Like, there's really 0:18:47.920 --> 0:18:48.920 I can't think of one. 0:18:49.520 --> 0:18:52.680 I mean, COVID a little bit, right, we saw it coming, 0:18:53.160 --> 0:18:56.680 but again it was in once in a lifetime pandemic, right, 0:18:57.119 --> 0:18:59.919 So that in a sense is a little bit different. 0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:01.600 It's not the same at all. 0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:05.119 But like the credit crisis, we were saved by a 0:19:05.160 --> 0:19:08.760 president who understood because that could have turned into I mean, 0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:11.560 obviously the way it was done, a lot of people 0:19:12.400 --> 0:19:15.680 didn't like bailing out the banks, and perhaps there would 0:19:15.720 --> 0:19:18.679 have been a way. I think what we saw, what 0:19:18.840 --> 0:19:21.640 Biden learned from it was that you should bail out 0:19:21.840 --> 0:19:23.399 everyone if you're going to bail out the banks, you 0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:25.760 got to bail out also small businesses. Now, the problem 0:19:25.840 --> 0:19:28.480 is when you start bailing out small businesses, you open 0:19:28.560 --> 0:19:32.240 yourself to PPE fraud. By the way, so many people 0:19:32.240 --> 0:19:36.720 in Trump world got PPE loans, I mean incredible numbers. 0:19:36.760 --> 0:19:38.840 And then when you open the door to like paying 0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:41.520 out small businesses, why are you not paying out student loans? 0:19:41.560 --> 0:19:43.600 You know, you really do sort of open the door 0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:46.800 to moral re love. And see, there have been many 0:19:46.840 --> 0:19:50.679 times in sort of Trump's first term where I thought, oh, 0:19:50.720 --> 0:19:52.359 he's not going to do that. He's not going to 0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:54.280 do that, He's not going to do that, and that 0:19:54.480 --> 0:19:56.959 he was sort of talked out of it. That's what 0:19:57.000 --> 0:20:00.320 we saw earlier this month with the public markets, that 0:20:00.359 --> 0:20:03.600 he was talked out of it. Eventually, the hope is 0:20:03.640 --> 0:20:06.200 that that will happen again. But when you listen to 0:20:06.280 --> 0:20:09.920 him talking to Mark Karney, it seems as if he 0:20:10.359 --> 0:20:12.119 still doesn't understand. 0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:12.320 That he's wrong. 0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:16.320 Yeah, Oh for sure, he absolutely doesn't understand that he's wrong. 0:20:16.400 --> 0:20:19.320 And when we talk about him being talked out of things, 0:20:19.400 --> 0:20:21.439 I don't think that's fully accurate because I think what 0:20:21.600 --> 0:20:25.520 ends up happening is like he names some outrageous figure 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:29.280 like we're gonna put a one hundred percent tariff on this, 0:20:29.600 --> 0:20:31.960 and people are like, you know, the markets react to 0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:34.720 that badly. People are like, oh, this is a bad idea. 0:20:35.040 --> 0:20:36.680 And then he says, all right, we're only going to 0:20:36.720 --> 0:20:41.120 do twenty percent, and still like, but that's still wrong. Yeah, 0:20:41.440 --> 0:20:44.120 Like that's still not good. It's just that we are 0:20:44.119 --> 0:20:47.760 being conditioned by you know, him going to this far 0:20:47.840 --> 0:20:51.879 extreme and then when he comes back a little, we're like, oh, okay, 0:20:52.000 --> 0:20:54.360 see he listens, but it's like, no, because he shouldn't. 0:20:54.640 --> 0:20:57.720 He shouldn't be doing these things at all. And and 0:20:58.200 --> 0:21:00.879 you know, look, I don't know. I think at a 0:21:00.920 --> 0:21:06.080 certain point he is going to stop piling things back because, 0:21:06.119 --> 0:21:09.880 as you said, he is convinced that he is right 0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:13.320 and it doesn't matter how many people tell him he's wrong. 0:21:13.880 --> 0:21:15.560 I mean we saw that even with a lot of 0:21:15.560 --> 0:21:18.160 the tariffs that even Elon Musk was like, I don't 0:21:18.200 --> 0:21:21.160 want him to be doing this, and he didn't really care. 0:21:21.520 --> 0:21:26.000 Is Elon Musk still running Doge? What is Doge doing? 0:21:26.240 --> 0:21:28.800 And why are we not hearing about it every die? 0:21:29.080 --> 0:21:29.320 Yeah? 0:21:29.359 --> 0:21:31.360 No, that's a good question. I guess they did have 0:21:31.440 --> 0:21:35.440 that little press conference with big balls. Yeah it's big balls, 0:21:35.520 --> 0:21:39.200 we know a couple days ago. But look, I think 0:21:39.400 --> 0:21:41.840 Musk is a little scared. I think he's a little 0:21:41.840 --> 0:21:45.399
